Thanks DG!

Thanks DG. I knew if I waited it would pay off.

Any plans on making an "unroot" script?

My most recent brick was mostly caused by having busybox installed and symlinked twice. Busybox is already included on the phone stock, oneclickroot installs and symlinks it again in the /system/xbin directory. This is messy and can cause problems. I created this script to simply use what is there, only adding what is needed for a nice neat clean setup.

What this script does:
Roots
Installs Superuser.apk
Enables Non-market apps (sideloading)
Installs su and sqlite3 binaries to /system/bin
Removes onclickroot busybox install (if it exists)

Thanks for the departing gift DG. Can we install this without any issues if we have already used the superoneclick root method?

ya, it reverts that mess it created and does a cleaner install.

(more gifts to come)

Okay currently rooted with Adeo already assuming unroot before applying this script, but as far as Adeo I understand it doesn't need to be rooted for the install but if its already there would i have any problems swapping the root method?

Edit: Oh hehe was beat to it XD

Thank you!!! sooooo much for all your work and your continuous support, looking forward to what you will tackle next.

Thanks for the reply. So no need to unroot, just apply your new script over the superoneclick?

Do you think you will go back to the atrix id it gets an unlocked bootloader?

This looks interesting: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=11871384&postcount=183

Maybe this is the key we need to unlock the bootloader!

I ran the script and it gave me an error about TIMEOUT not a known function, but it still got the job done. I used the one before the unroot was added (redownloading now).


Again, many thanks. Can't wait to see what the other "gifts" are.

very odd, I wonder if older versions of windows dont support the timeout function...

what are you running?

aces, thanks DG! all the work to date on the Atrix are and have been appreciated.

Thanks DG


I used oneclickroot and have just done your aroot.bat. How do I know if it un messed the previous root and everything is now good?

pretty easy...

adb shell
cd /system/xbin
ls -l

you should only have a handful of files, no busybox, or any symlinks to it.

Has to be the problem, I was on my laptop with XP loaded. Like I said, the script did the trick but just sqawked an error. I am on my 7 tablet now and the command works fine.

I second that. XP here and got the TIMEOUT error, but worked just fine. Double checked my system/xbin and no busybox or symlink.

 

[designgears]

just looked it up, sure enough xp doesn't support that, oh well, doesn't matter, adb will wait for the device to some online, I might just take it out.

thanks for testing that guys.

i think xp still used it, just complained about it.

 

[designgears]

Just updated, now with init.d support and a better unrooter script

Sorry I'm new to this so if I used superoneclick then surely I will get a bricked phone...I get forced closed about once a day is that from the superoneclick?

It is possible that is the problem. Unless you are doing command line stuff you will be fine. It won't just brick you for no reason.

Thank you very much for your work...

Just to confirm, do I use this aRoot instead of your previous SuperOneClick?
