I tried reflashing the boot image in the root tool, it just waits for the device.
This all started when i just deleted all the apps including superuser etc so i just had the stock. Stupid i know, i should have reflashed stock....
Yup, just sits there. I can hear it connect but it wont respond to any commands from root tool, adb, or motocast. It doesnt show as an external drive either...
Ok, will try tonight. Is this done thru adb or just a command line?
I was wondering if it was possible to update our devices to 5.0 with a backup made through recovery by prack that is getting his new device ?

We can try, but cannot guarantee. I still can't get .97 to boot from a backup that was made.

Here is Motorola's response to the update problem for rooted devices:

Do we understand from this post that Motorola will punish anyone who commit the ultimate sin of rooting by not being able to upgrade forever?

Am I to understand from this post that you feel Motorola should have an update path to suit whatever software variation someone can dream up?*
It's not a punishment. It's a technical limitation. We can test our software update process based on everyone having the same software now. Once owners make changes to that, the pieces we are trying to add on or alter may no longer fit, as mao and a few others can demonstrate. That's why altering the software is a warranty violation.
You can argue if you like about other methods for upgrading that might change this dynamic, but for now, this is what we have. I recommend mao send his device in for repair where it can probably be flashed to stock so he's back on the upgrade path.
If you can get the update.zip (ota) for the newest update, I could get the devices on it.

lol...that's bs, they have the complete files which they can put into an update.zip, wipe the device as a whole, and flash them on (oh wait, that's what I've been doing); the only valid point they can make with this situation, is that the update.zips would be rather large taking up a lot of server space and bandwidth when they are downloaded.
