Just traded my D2G in for another phone. I was lucky and had it rooted before the most recent OTA update. The update locked things down. As of a week ago, to the best of my knowledge, an exploit hasn't been found. You might be out of luck with rooting the phone. At least for a little while.

hey its the flea. im new to all of this. i flashed a new rom and kernel for the first time about a month ago. im running an htc incredible 2 with bindroid. im very interested in building my own rom. right now im looking at chevycam94's thread (http://www.droidforums.net/forum/steel-droid/196475-guide-how-build-your-own-rom-cm7-source.html). so far so good i keep getting stuck at
To pull the proprietary files, you will need to execute setup-makefiles.sh in your device setup folder. To do that, go into your device setup folder, right click in an open area in the folder, and click "Open in Terminal". Now type:

Code:

. setup-makefiles.sh

There is a space between the period and the word "setup", in case some of you get confused.

Once that is done, stay in the same terminal, and type:

Code:

. extract-files.sh

Now here, you may get a couple errors about some files not being found. Thats ok, its not perfect. Just write down which files it told you it couldn't find, if any, and manually extract them from a stock ROM (FRG83G preferred for sholes), and put the files in /vendor/motorola/sholes/proprietary/

Thats it for the device setup!

any help would be grateful.

thanks

cthebadge38 is a new member and I'm exactly what my user name sounds like (ironic being I'm sending this from my rooted bionic lol) I love gadgets and all the smart people that make them better. I have alot of respect for the dev's I've seen on here. Not only do they amaze me with their talent but they are quick to help the people who ask for it. I started our with the htc eris, followed by the Droid x and now the bionic. I love motorola phones but have to say I'm a little disappointed with the bionic. I joined this forum to learn more about it and to watch the dev's hack the circuits out of it! Can't wait to see who cracks the bootloader first! Thanks for all you guys do and to all of the people who help out on this site. I'll do my best to try to help as much as I'm helped. Peace out to all the gadget freaks!

Hi everyone! My name's Diane! But all my friends call me DiDi (pronounced DeeDee)

I'm brand new to the droid world cuz i just got one from my uncle who didn't like it (too complicated for him he said) and so he's got a different one now. Its a verizon phone and i don't know but he told me it's a X2 model. I don't use Verizon right now but i'm going to be finished with my T-mobile in a few months i think. So I've decided i'll just have to wait for awhile so even though i can't use the Droid right away I want to learn everything I can about it. I don't exactly understand what it means to 'activate' it but and i think you have to do that before it will do anything. Is that right? I'm also intersted in what people are talking about called 'Rooting'? -- I think I figured out that's like getting Admin control over the phone -like you do with Windows i think. I'm not really clear about that yet cuz this is like only my second day trying to read things about the Droids.

I've had a motorola 360 for a few years on TMobile and now the Droid is going to be my first smartphone. I'm pretty computer savvy in general and have several hacker type friends who have taught me a lot already. I spend a lot of time online with my laptop & desktop at home. But i want to be able to use the droid for also on the web & stuff in addition to using it as a phone. I don't really need a lot of phone minutes tho. So basically what i'm going to have to learn is how to use the Droid for internet access and things like that.

I LOVE that I found a forum here that is dedicated to us Droiders ;-) I already have looked around and read several things which i didn't know about the Android system by Google. Also I was disappointed to find out that Verizon won't let users of their Droid phones use Skype which I thought i could use before i can switch from TMobile to something else. Somewhere someone mentioned possible altrnative called something like Fringe or Numbuzz (or something like that). Is there maybe any other way you can make voice calls without yet being on a cellphone plan? --

It looks like theres a lot of friendly people here and i'm hoping someone can help me to learn lots of stuff about how the droids work and how to really get the most out my phone. Thanks to everybody who might point me to the best place to begin reading and understanding the Droid.


Thank you,
didi

I bought my first droid, Motorola Droid in 2009. I was that time leaning towards a Windows Phone (I don't even remember the name or model anymore). I was steered by a Verizon agent to check out the new Moto Droid. My Droid made my MP3 player very obsolete real quick and makes my work issued blackberry look like a "stone age" tool.

Well ever since I have hard no regret switching to Droid. Now I am looking to upgrade after 2years. Droid Razr? Maybe dancedroiddancedroid
