I don't know what you consider "bloat", but just as long as you didn't delete any core Motorola files, connect via adb and issue the following commands:

adb shell
su
busybox tar czvf /sdcard/systemdump.tgz /system
exit
exit
adb pull /sdcard/systemdump.tgz
There's you go, a system dump.

If you can somehow get everything back to stock and just rooted, a complete system dump would be better...

tell me how and i can help, i deleted the dam bloat at least some :D

did a system dump followed these instructions
The easiest way, I think, would be:

install the android SDK (developers.android.com)
start CMD
type in "cd c:\PATH_TO_YOUR_SDK\tools (<-- so there's a tools folder inside the sdk folder)
on your phone: Setting -> Applications -> Developer -> USB Debug Mode (dunno how its spelled correctly)
connect your phone with your pc
let windows find your phone
back to cmd console: adb pull /system
the full system dump shall be in YOUR_SDK_FOLDER\tools\system

but i go to my sdk folder / tools but there is no system folder ???? help

or at least tell me what file in there you need

I had made a backup of "My Accounts 2.3.4" before deleting and to my displeasure I realized it was tied into the actual Setup menu. I attempted to restore but it seems to be on an endless loop. Fortunately I had already finished all my account syncs but it would be nice to be able to fix this problem. Suggestions or am I SOL for the time being?


The app package "com.motorola.blur.setup"


Oh, by loop I meant Titanium Backup. Everything is working a ok. Just wondering if there was something I missed.

Try the commands I posted...

And unfortunately, I need everything in /system

Thanks!

Several people have been having this same problem attempting to restore system apps. Eagerly waiting for someone to figure out a solution. In the meantime, do NOT rely on backups of your system apps.
