Okay, I noticed the back of the device was excessively hot, so I set it on an extra heat sink that I had lying around. I unplugged the AC power, waited a few minutes with the device on the heatsink, then tried again, and I got that the battery was low. I plugged it back into the AC charger, then tried again, and...

SUCCESS

It booted right up. So, we may have a heat sensor while in fastboot... I'm not sure. When I restored, I did boot.img, system.img, userdata.img, usercache.img. I left out recovery as it was never modified.

So for anyone else with this problem, unplug it, let it sit for a while and cool off, then plug it back into AC and try again.

I *think*, and I'm not sure of this at all, that battery drains while in fastboot mode, even connected to a computer (it's hot because the device is working hard/inefficiently/draining battery). So don't leave it there for long, do what you need to do and reboot.

Maybe the old trick about using a "factory cable" might fix that, but it's all just conjecture.

That is correct. I learned the hard way. Even connected to a power source it will continue to drain the battery.

Lol my problem was that it wouldn't do a single thing though. Literally nothing.

It charged when plugged in though, even in fastboot.

Tine Fastboot bat Script (8 or 16 GB)

Has anyone tried out Tine's fastboot bat script? I asked which firmware versions the fastboot script will work for but am waiting for a response.

I'm having difficulty getting the correct ADB drivers. Right now the Motoactv appears under "portable devices" as "motoactv." I'm assuming this isn't correct.

Give me a couple of hours and I will get the root tool uploaded to the server with a "return to stock" button that will flash everything back to stock (unrooted, with unsecure bootloader).

That should help.

I'm having issues with my system.img

I assume that its bloated but I cannot use the command given earlier to reduce the size,

dd if=/system.img of=/system-fixed.img bs=1024 count=159616

when I run the command in ADB Shell it says file not found, however the system.img is in the root directory.

Can someone point me to where I can find a fixed system.img?

tineprogramming · Jan 23, 2012

i assume all the firmware have a same boot.img

Can you give me an idea of how you change the font to the one you suggest? Also, love to have details on how you set your dpi, others that have done it appear to have issues when the reboot where it reverts back to default. Thanks for the input, as far as the weather goes, it's charging and has radios on so I at least get the day's high/lows as well as the 5 day forecast which is fine for what I want.

Download the Roboto family from the internet. It is free and an easy Google search. You then rename the Roboto fonts to match DroidSans.ttf DroidSans-Bold.ttf and DroidSans-italic.ttf Then adb push them to /system/fonts and adb shell chown and chmod like other files. I also reccomend substituting Roboto Narrow in place of Clocktopia.

Cheers!

Next time, please ask before you steal someone's batch script and butcher it. It's pretty obvious, all the variables are the same and it's setup in the same format.

Dead MotoActv?

I just bought a MotoActv off a guy that said he rooted it, then tried to factory reset it. Now it just charges for a few minutes then shows the M logo for a few and shuts off again. It doesn't start charging again until after I remove the USB and plug it back in.

If I try and boot in fast recovery mode (Start/Power for 3sec) I just says "Can't Process" Battery low. Then shuts down.

If I try a factory reset (Start/Power for 7sec) it just powers off.

Any ideas? Also it won't charger for longer than a few minutes.

Please help!

It's a hair trigger process. Try hard reset off the charger, then plugging it in. Leave it for 20 minutes. See now if you can get to the charging screen (has the battery)

Tine stole that batch script from me, modified it, and started accepting donations. Mine will also flash the custom boot.img. I believe it's post 272 on page 28.

Okay that script i use some part of your and i show apology to you already.but it is not just script it has the modified usb driver and the instruction that i made mine rooted so i just want to share and made it more easy way to do.Your script is awesome too.But i just made mine just for flash the boot.img and check bootloader that it.And about the donation it is not the main point.i does'nt request any one to give a donation to me.i just want to share is this sharing community right
and i already put your name on it there .And sorry again to use your script without asking.And everyone can use my script and his script too.it both work that same way.But in 16 gb model .i did the same way as i explained in my main thread.To get it rooted .So follow my instruction and use his script or mine all will work perfectly

I understand that you want to help, we all do. That's the main reason for this thread, but doing what you did actually hinders progress. By stealing someone else's work and claiming it as your own, will discourage the person from which you stole from posting anything else that might help the rest of the community in fear that it might get stolen again.

I appreciate you acknowledging that you used it without permission, and editing your posts to credit me for the script. It doesn't bother me that you stole it, it doesn't even bother me that you adapted it to do other things. What really gets to me is you used my script as a basis for two of your projects, claimed it as your own (until you got called out), and asked people to donate if they thought it was helpful.

The idea that someone else is associating my name and reputation with their project without my knowledge, that is what really pisses me off. This is an open source community, I get that, but it's people like you that encourage developers to close their source, for reasons like this.

I don't think there's anything else you can do to apologize, just don't do it again and ask next time like the numerous others that PM'd me.

okay about donation i will delete it .And i will just share .and i will ask you first next time i want to do something or i will create my own script .First i think your script is easy to adapt and i don't have so much time to create my own.So i used your without asking and about donation is not my main point tho.So from now i will write my own script or ask you first.is that fine for you ?

Jay4255 · Jan 23, 2012

That's all I ask. Either do your own work, or ask permission and let me know before you use mine.

ClearD · Jan 23, 2012

Sooo the root tool version 1.0.7 is uploading to the server for mass public beta testing right now, but there are a few things that are odd in it.

First and foremost, Jay's scripts were the base for the "backup" and "restore" functions, straight up. They've been used with permission. However, it appears the line at the top that read "By ClearD and Jay" has gone AWOL between 1.0.6 and 1.0.7 somehow.

Like, it's just gone. Don't know how. Anyways, as stated previously, Jay gets as much credit for this as me and any donations (not required nor requested) should be divided.

With that said, it will be placed back again in 1.0.8 while I'm cleaning up some of the instructions.

As soon as it's up, I'll post a link for you guys. Fair warning, it's a big download (around 330 megs, I think?) because it contains a full backup of the stock unrooted Rom within the package.

As for the root script, it *should* be pretty self-explanatory (instructions will pop up in command line for when you need to do things), but remember NOT TO TOUCH the unit itself during the process, only unplug it and plug it back in when it tells you to (after the zergrush runs when the screen shuts off and turns the backlight back on). Do NOT turn the unit off or on or do anything like that during the root. It will reboot at the end by itself.

Questions before we begin?

Jay4255 · Jan 23, 2012

Sounds good ClearD. I appreciate all your hard work. Looking forward to the release. I like the idea of including the unrooted stock, I will probably do that in my next release too.

As ClearD stated before, this tool (at the moment) is mainly used to root the device. Other mods, like button remappings, should be done from my batch script until further notice.
