Is anyone actively working on rooting D2 yet?
Now that the phone's out, I'm sure there is someone working on it.
Let's hope it's quick. This phone has all sorts of bloatware in need of removal.
It has way to much. And the social networking thing is ****. No settings to make it not grab contacts no settings to make it not change pictures etc etc.
Who wants root for the droid 2? Donate for @mrweeeedbirdman to root the droid2 and get him a device.

Donate at AllDroid.org, mrweeeedbirdman's crew. They will be the first to get us rooted. XDA just doesn't have much support for Moto phones.
possibly. not many people bought one. birdman's crew cant root the phone unless they themselves have one, in which none of them can afford one right now.
Does exploid not work on the Droid 2? Also, someone want to check something?
Do these commands in adb:
ls -l -R /
ps
cat /proc/mounts
df
id
logcat
dmesg
and post response.

First off, as always, if this causes any damage, or loss of anykind anyhow anyway I am not at fault, don't blame me.
So you rooted? But no longer want root? or want to downgrade to 1.5 with an ruu? or want to flash one of the PB00IMG like the root one with an engineering bootloader?
Tonight I made another custom misc.img, it is attached to this post. You will also need flash_image which can be found here. http://www.multiupload.com/KS2JCAMGBH
Run these commands as root:
Code:
adb push flash_image /data/local/flash_image
adb push misc.img /data/local/misc.img
adb shell chmod 777 /data/local/flash_image
adb shell /data/local/flash_image misc misc.img
Now you can flash any known (to me) ruu or PB00IMG
Cool beans and thx for your continued help even tho you don't have a Eris anymore.

Oh my bad thought you said while back it had a bad radio and you got a Droid. I guess no more assuming lol
The hits keep on coming!
I suppose this should work equally well for PB00IMG.ZIP installs (from the corresponding RUUs), yes?
This should make life easier for "unrooters"; now if there just some way to convince them that there is really only 1 reason to unroot a phone

my only reason for unrooting is sending my phone back ......which i will be doing this weekend..... refurb is suppose to be here today
thanks jcase ....thanks for the continued work on the eris .....

It did, the one I used. It was the only non leak one I had. Puit kinks in everything.
When I try it it just keeps saying push: not found.
The commands are the same thing for OSX, right? Drag tools to Terminal and then just copy and paste those lines of commands?

Yeah dude, those instructions didn't work for me either. This is what I did (and it worked):
Code:
adb push flash_image /data/local/flash_image
adb push misc.img /data/local/misc.img
adb shell chmod 777 /data/local/flash_image
adb shell flash_image misc /data/local/misc.img
do we put the two files into the SDK/Tools folder? or are we putting them on the SD card and running these commands while the phone is in recovery? Sorry I'm a little new to this.

hey guys, sorry but i'm really confused as to what to do here. i'm running evil eris and i want to downgrade to 2.1leak to get a refurb eris. i'm a complete noob with all the sdk stuff. i've gotten as far as putting the two files in the sdk/tools folder, lol. if someone could help me out with this, it'd be greatly appreciated...thanks a ton.
Just flash the pbooimg.zip back onto the phone. Out should be good from there.

Hey I am not understanding what to do either. I have a rooted eris that the screen started flaking out so i Have to send it back.
I rooted alright and I have a basic understanding of the recovery stuff. But could you guys either tell me what to do from scratch on this one or point me in the right direction.
I've been searching the forum for 2 weeks trying to learn how. My kids are teasing me now cuz all I do at home try to learn about this stuff. Well anyway I would appreciate some help.
I have just opened a can of worms
Wow!!! I truly did not realize the full extent of what yous guys are doing on this website. You are smart people!!! hahahaha I opened a can of worms and can't get it shut again.
You guys are the ones writing and developing all kinds of programs.
i hope you guys arent taking this the wrong way!!!
I honestly didnt realize till I researched and found the HTC Developers center.
I have no buisness trying to do any of this stuff!
If some can help me out I would appreciate it!!!!!!
Anyone out there willing to help me out?
I just someone to run this command with their phone hooked up, USB Debugging ENABLED:
adb shell ls -l -R /sys/class > class_structure_HERO.txt
This will output a text file in whichever directory you run the command from, that will list the hardware capabilities of the phone for me - this would help me IMMENSELY from a development standpoint!
Check out the text file - zero personal / private information will be in there!
Thanks!
ok, here it is...
I think it won't change anything, but I should add that this is a G2 Touch from T-Mobile, so a branded device. It is running the T-Mobile 2.73 build that has been OTA-updated to 3.31 (android 2.1), and it is rooted.
hope this helps you...
Awesome, that's certainly a start!
Would you mind running these, too?
adb shell ls -l -R /sys/devices/platform > platform_structure_HERO_G2_T-Mobile.txt
AND
adb shell ls -l -R /sys/devices/virtual > virtual_structure_HERO_G2_T-Mobile.txt
Thanks!
There's no need to differentiate between Hero and T-Mobile G2 as they are IDENTICAL, and I do mean exactly the same, only different branding on the front cover.

http://www.backtrack-linux.org/xoom/photo.jpg
This was posted on the official backtrack twitter, and they claim they will be releasing an image on May 10. Don't know how many of you use backtrack, but this might be useful for some
What oz backtrack?
Sent from my MB860 using Tapatalk
Its a linux distro based off of ubuntu(I think) Its mainly used for pentesting, which usually requires custom wifi drivers. I use the drivers on my N900 and they're fantastic. Seeing as how the Atrix's bootloader is locked down, this is probably chrooted, so it probably will not be very fast
Looks intriguing. Interested on how they will be running it as its clearly not hacked into the webtop from the photo
Ahaha I love using Backtrack on my laptop. Was a pain to setup at first, however.
hmm, time for some hacking! xD

Going to try and install it tonight. Since it runs through AndroidVNC I am assuming it is similar to the Ubuntu method posted before in the DEV. If I do get it running properly I will post the how to from BT site.
check forum link in my signature ...
it can be used with some twist's.
ye i saw that one too, didnt come to test it yet tho =/ im highly interested in it tho
any news?
It's been a couple of weeks, yet no one has proved that this works on the Atrix, other than the developers of Backtrack themselves. I'm willing to test this out sometime next week, when I won't have too much on my plate, but could someone post a video is they have successfully got this running?
I got it running on my N900 at decent speed(it is in chroot), so you can probably get it running on the Atrix. This is from the readme file(from the xoom):
1. Once you have downloaded the ARM BT package, save the files in a convenient location. The steps below assume they are in the platform-tools folder of the Android SDK.
2. Go to your platform-tools directory and proceed to make a directory on the device to store BT5:
./adb shell
mkdir /sdcard/BT5
exit
3. Copy over the busybox install files:
./adb push busybox /sdcard/
./adb push installbusybox.sh /sdcard
4. Install busybox on the device:
./adb shell
cd /sdcard/
sh installbusybox.sh
exit
5. Transfer the required BT5 files to the device:
./adb push fsrw /sdcard/BT5/
./adb push mountonly /sdcard/BT5/
./adb push bootbt /sdcard/BT5/
./adb push bt5.img.gz /sdcard/BT5/
./adb push unionfs /sdcard/BT5/
6. Uncompress the image and start BT5:
./adb shell
su
cd /sdcard/BT5
gunzip bt5.img.gz
sh bootbt
If all goes well, you'll be in the BT5 chroot:
# sh bootbt
net.ipv4.ip_forward = 1
[email protected]:/# ls /pentest/
backdoors database exploits passwords scanners stressing voip
cisco enumeration forensics python sniffers tunneling web
[email protected]:/#
Looks like you need busybox and a vnc client, and you have to change the resolution

yes but that is a tutorial for the x10, not the atrix, as much as i checked that out we have to change partitions in the files no? or did you install it like this?
ok i have it up and running but i cannot get the screen to recognize touch. i want to set it to touchpad but everything but No Pan; Trackball MOuse is greyed out. any ideas?
I do have BT on my Atrix and this info posted in here isnt new at all.. for more info about it check this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1184161.
But as far as I know Android doesnt have monitor mode for wireless so forget about aircrack or sismet for now... maybe someone can help on this...maybe not...

It's a Broadcom radio, so most likely not. In theory, the Atrix has usb host capability, so if someone figures out how to build some atheros or rtl based usb dongles, that would work.
Can someone post a current kernel version screenshot off of their phone please..
Update: (11/08/2014)
Instructions:
Grab file at --> https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B31X8bH_5Gl-NmExWmhlbzJ5T3c/view?usp=sharing
adb push root /data/local/tmp
adb shell
cd /data/local/tmp
chmod 777 root
./root
If you get # symbol for prompt, you have root.
Let me know the results please.. I am trying to do this without actually having a phone, I might as well go get one today though, because this might end up being to painful this way..
Update (11/15/2014):
Well, at this point I have been able to establish a remote shell to my PC. This might not sound like much, but if your on the phone and run my binary it will establish a remote shell to anywhere that you specify where a valid listener is listening on an IP and port that is specified. Malware people would go nuts with this. Why? Because with this essentially I could grab all personal information from your SDcard and other areas without your permission. Pretty much run any command that you can do now locally, I could do on your phone remotely. So, I am seeing now what leverage points I might be able to make with this..

I don't think so. Look at your model, the developer edition I believe would be a different model..
