[HOW TO] RockMyMoto Guide for Windows! [*NEWB PROOF*] - Moto X General

So if you were like me and upon first watching JCase's video for RockMyMoto and were confused, this is for you. This guide will cater to Windows users since Mac and Linux users should be able to follow along seamlessly to JCase's steps. The steps here are no different, the commands are the same, just an extra application that works better than the Windows built in Telnet client.
First off I just want to thank JCase for taking so much time to release this for us. All credit goes to him.
Download Cydia Impactor (Thanks Saurik!) from his website HERE.
Download the RockMyMoto.zip attachment from JCase's post HERE.
Next download the PuTTYtel file "puttytel.exe" (You don't need the full application) HERE.
The initial steps are the same regardless of platform. I won't go into details on getting ADB set up, etc. Follow JCase's video and guide for all of that or search around XDA. Chances are someone else has explained this.
***STEP ONE***
So at this point your phone should be connected to ADB and you should have your IP Address. Leave your ADB window open as we will go back to it later. Run the Cydia Impactor application from the above download.
From the drop down menu, select:
Code:
# start telnetd as system on port 2222
Click on start and you should see a series of messages saying testing, installing, waiting to complete (a couple others) and then it goes back to the # start telnetd" message. This is OK.
***STEP TWO***
Run the "puttytel.exe" file downloaded from the link above.
From the initial screen, enter in your IP Address from the ADB terminal in the box where it says "Host Name (or IP Address).
Enter "2222" without quotes in the box listed as Port.
Make sure the connection type has Telnet selected and then click "Open" at the bottom.

"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
A PuTTYtel window will open up where we will enter the code JCase provided.
***STEP THREE***
In JCase's video he types in the line:
Code:
telnet {IP Address} 2222
We don't need that step as we already connected it through Step 2.
Proceed to run the exploit:
Code:
dalvikvm -cp /sdcard/RockMyMoto.jar RockMyMoto
After the first run, it will say to "ADB Reboot" your phone.
Open up the ADB window from earlier and run the command:
Code:
adb reboot
This will reboot the phone.
***STEP FOUR***
Because PuTTYtel is connecting to the phone to run the exploit, rebooting the phone closes the connection. We need to redo Steps 1-3, running the Cydia Impactor, opening PuTTYtel and connecting it using the IP, and running the same exploit command. The phone reboots itself after the second exploit command so no need to adb reboot again.
***STEP FIVE***
Checking for root. After the exploit has been ran three times, go back to the ADB window and type the following:
Code:
adb shell su -c "id"
If you get the return message saying:
Code:
uid=0(root) gid=0(root)
You're done and rooted! Go install SuperSu from the Play Store and make sure to throw a couple bucks JCase's way for making this great tool.

Thanks a ton!

No problem. Let me know if you can get it to work on your desktop. I'll stick around in IRC for awhile as to not clog up the thread.

awesome it worked thanks man! and thanks @jcase for the help!

Awesome!! I struggled a bit until I read this. Great Job!!

Worked like a charm.
Now just that damn VZ bootloader...

Also, for those of you reading on rooting and not really confident enough to use adb I suggest this .exe.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=42407269
Its a minimal adb shell. Simple and easy to use, just install the program on a windows machine, open it up, plug in the phone, start your commands.

My issue:

^you adb push'd .zip instead of .jar. Rerun it through adb. Then it'll work. Happened to me as well.
Sent from my XT1060 using Tapatalk

The OP updated his mistake, instead of pushing the .zip, it should be the .jar

When I run impactor it just sits at testing #9950697. I've tried it a few times and each it does that. What can I do??

Try disabling your windows firewall?

After root you will need to go to play store and install superSU. Then open it and update binaries.

I don't believe there is. If you don't want to use xposed framework and get extended power options, then the only options to get to recovery (that I know if) are
1) power off> volume down with power> volume down to recovery> power up to select.
2) Adb reboot recovery

[PROGRAM] Updated:One Click Root/UnRoot (Mac and PC)

Team,
This One-Click Root process will copy over the rooted-update.zip or unroot-update.zip file then reboot your phone. Follow the instructions in the CMD prompt that launches.​
Credits:
LeshaK at Samdroid: for the original rooted-update.zip.
gunnarhafdal : for creating the Mac GUI for my app.​
This has been tested on stock Android 2.1 Eclair only. If you rooted using another process you can use this process to unroot as long as you didnt load a rom that created links to busybox.
For the following models:
GT-I9000
Captivate SHG-I897
Vibrant SGH-959
GT-I9000M
Epic SPH-D700 (Untested but should work like other phones. Post with your results. This is harmless it will either work or it wont. It copies over 3 files to your existing build.)​
Rooting adds the following to your system and unrooting removes them:
/system/xbin/busybox (version 1.17.1)
/system/xbin/su
/system/app/Superuser.apk (version 2.3.1)
and links /system/bin/su to /system/xbin/su​
More will follow as they are released. PM me to add your Galaxy S Model.
Warning: I am not responsible for bricked phones, rooting can void your warranty....

3. Click one of the buttons depending on what you want to do.
4. After the phone has rebooted into recovery select "apply sdcard:update.zip" for I9000 and I9000M and choose "Reinstall Packages" for the US models using the volume keys and then press the home button for I9000 and I9000M and the power button on the right top side for US models to start the process.​
=====================================================================
Done! You are rooted.
=====================================================================
Un-Rooting Instructions:
To Un-Root follow the same instructions except click on the Un-root button. If you rooted using another process you can use this process to un-root as long as you didnt load a rom that created links to busybox. I would suggest to restore you phone back to stock ROM before even needing to unroot and if you are on stock un-root all you want otherwise what is the point of un-rooting.
=====================================================================
Getting Started with Android After Rooting:
Flash Clockwork Custom Recovery On your phone:
Follow this URL to find fill information on ROM Manager:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=734164
Install ROM Manager from Market.
Launch ROM Manager and click on Backup ROM and save you android O/S stock rooted making getting back to stock un-rooted much easier..
Great app! I am on a Mac and rooted already so I don't need it but this should help about 90% of all new users.
Thank you.
+1 for the program. I rooted it last Sunday, and am too on a Mac, but this should def make the process alot easier for people.
This should go up as a sticky.
man it does not get easier for the new android users lol

One question since this seems to be a major topic as well, any way you could have it load a generic settings.db file or one click exit to the existing one for non-market apps?
That seems to be giving some people a bit of a headache.

This is awesome, I have been waiting for this!
I am having a problem though, I have gotten to the "press the One Root Button" step. The green shell screen says it can't load the update onto my sd card, so when I re-install packages, it can't find the zip file. It does reboot the phone though and it is set on debug, is there a step I missed? I do have another 8g speed6 sd card I put in the empty slot, could that be messing it up?
Well sounds like your drivers maybe not set up right. go to start then run and open up prompt by typing cmd and see if "adb devices" runs and sees your device.

Ah, I just did it manually. Easy. Thanks for the motivation though.
Awesome work. I'll probably wait for the updated version with the "Unroot" option, but very cool nonetheless!
Here is my settings.db file. Some have speculated that it varies some from phone to phone so may need some testing.
It has been edited to enable non-market apps.
reminder to anyone using someone elses settings.db:
Make note of the android_id in your settings.db before swapping. You'll need it!
I think I am going to leave deploying settings.DB alone.

Okay, so you've read Mills' instructions and sort of understand them.
1. Download the CWM recovery from multiupload
2. Boot off of that file (DO NOT FLASH): fastboot boot recoveryPLAY.img
3. Copy this to your memory card and flash it with the booted recovery
4. Reboot and test root
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Right? Okay, let me translate all that for you.
First things first, you need to unlock your bootloader. To do so
Mills00013 said:
Obtain a bootloader unlock code. Right now the only way to get one is through ashergray or myself. This will change soon but for now its limited in release.
Once you have your code, follow the unlock instructions on either Sony's website directly or by following the instructions here. Please note that you already have your code at this point so if you follow the instructions please disregard anything telling you to obtain a code. These are for GSM models.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
So kindly ask one of them for your unlock code, and my best suggestion would be to get everything ready so you can unlock the bootloader and flash the booted recovery all in one go.
So download the recoveryPLAY.img and set it aside.
Then download the RootXperia.zip and set it on your SD card in the root directory. So in the main F:\ folder.
Download the drivers and fastboot.exe here http://www.multiupload.com/RS6367SQMT
Okay, we got everything. Follow these instructions http://www.theandroidsoul.com/how-to-unlock-bootloader-xperia-arc-play-neo-pro/ starting at step 6 but please read my notes below also
at step 7, you will hold down the SEARCH button and plug the USB cable into your phone.
When you go to look for the Driver in Step 10 of the guide look for the one on the list that says "Android Bootloader Interface 2.0.10.2 Google, Inc. c:\?????\oem28.inf", that's the one I used.
Once the drivers installed you can locate fastboot and run it, but do this in the command prompt. So you know, go to Start > Run..> type in "cmd" and your command prompt comes up. Type in "cd\" to get to your root directory, then type in "cd c:\documents and settings\.....whateverfolder you have fastboot.exe sitting in"
So Step 13 of the guide, you're in the ...\fastboot\ folder, you can now type in fastboot.exe -i 0x0fce getvar version and that will tell you if you're connected. If you get a <waiting for device> you probably loaded the wrong driver. </life>
If not, then you got the 0.3, so continue with unlocking your bootloader in step 15. Put in your command and the key you got from some really helpful people.
Okay, so you just unlocked the bootloader, awesome. Don't close any windows. Now remember that "recoveryPLAY.img" we set aside? Go get it and move it into the same folder that you have fastboot.exe in.
# Boot off of that file (DO NOT FLASH): fastboot boot recoveryPLAY.img
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Okay, with your command prompt still open and your recoveryPLAY.img in the same folder as fastboot.exe, type in "fastboot.exe boot recoveryplay.img"
Copy this to your memory card and flash it with the booted recovery
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
In about 10 seconds the screen on your phone will change, you will now see the recovery screen on your PLAY. The volume buttons are UP and DOWN, the power button is ENTER or SELECT. So navigate through the menus to install .zip from SD card, and look for the RootXperia.zip (we put it on your SD card earlier remember?). So you found it, Select it, it will run, the phone will tell you life is great, so scroll up to the top and back out until you see the option to reboot your phone.
Reboot and test root
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Select Reboot and once you come up, go to the Android market and download something that requires Root, such as Titanium Backup or ROM Manager.
Finally, thank everyone involved for making this happen. Here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1098131

FYI, the original method for obtaining unlock codes from Ashergray or Mills has been blocked by Sony. Now, the only way to unlock has to be done through Allejandrissimo, and costs money.
A free solution is being worked on, but we are nearly back to square one as far as unlocking goes.

The best guide to rooting and installing roms

[Under construction]
Hello,
Since I see that a lot of people are having trouble with rooting and installing roms, and since their isn’t a guide for everything I decided I’d write thing.
Table of contents
Intros
-I.1: Intro
-I.2 Support list
-l.3 What is rooting?
--Pre rooting:
1.1 Downloading our utils
1.2 Prepare our transformer
--Rooting
2.1 Rooting
--Recovery Installation
3.1 Recovery and roms
3.2 Different roms
--what to do with root
4.1 WTFWR
________________________________________________________________________
I: intro
This guide is presented in the easiest way. If you follow each and every step you should be fine. With that said I cannot be held responsible if you mess up your device in any way
I.2 Support list
This guide is meant to be universal as possible. I can guarantee this will work with original us transformer. I’m not yet sure of the slider, 3g or ww models. Please confirm them working below in the comments. Keep in mind you should always check the support of the rom you want to use by looking at by checking the thread.
l.3 What is rooting?
Rooting a great thing. With it you can install roms, ,make backups and overall great backups. Below is a article on it:
http://www.tomsguide.com/us/Root-Your-Android-Phone,review-1688.html
________________________________________________________________________
1.1 Downloading our utils
STOP: If you have a device running .19 or below use razor claw for rooting. Then, afterwords if you want to install recovery the a rom jump to 3.1 Razorclaw doesn’t require you to have a computer.
Before we begin we will need to get our computer ready to root with nacho root. Head over to
http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html

to download the android sdk. Get the zip it’s easier. Once you download it and unzip it. Place the folder in the root of your C: drive (just trust me)
Now double click SDK Manager
Check the box next to “android sdk platform-tools” then click install X packages. Accept any terms that come up. The sdk is now installing. Ignore any errors. Wait till it’s done
Cool, now to get your asus usb drivers. This will help our computer recognize our device. Go to
http://support.asus.com/Download/ModelList.aspx?SLanguage=en&keyword=eee pad&type=1
Select your device, The for the OS dropdown box choose “OTHERS” Then hit the plus next to “UTILITIES (1)”. Under that click Global (DLM). Wait till it downloads then install it.
Finally to get our rooting software. We will be using nacho root from:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1427838&page=1
Download Nacho root and SU
Pic 6
Go back to your android SDK folder we download earlier. Put both of the files in the “Platform-tools”
Pic 7
1.2: prepare our transformer.
Go into the settings. On the left click application. Make sure “Unknown sources” Is checked. Then click development. Make sure “Usb debugging” is checked.
2.1 rooting. It is rooting time. Make sure your device has a good charge on it. Then hook it up to your computer.
Go to your computer and open cmd by hitting the start button then typing in cmd. In the windows type in:
Cd C:\android-sdk-windows\platform-tools
Make sure you have the space between cd and C: If an error returns you didn’t follow the tutorial and put the folder in the correct path. If that is case use the right path.
Pic 8
Hit enter.
Now type in:
Adb devices
A random string of number should appear, if not your don’t have your asus usb drivers installed correctly.
Here is the instruction for you to type in to root from the dev. Do it one line at a time. Do not type in any of the <wait for boot> things.
Code:
adb push nachoroot.bin /data/local/
adb shell chmod 777 /data/local/nachoroot.bin
adb shell /data/local/nachoroot.bin --stage1
adb reboot
<wait for boot>
adb shell /data/local/nachoroot.bin --stage2
adb reboot
<wait for boot>
adb shell id
<if id is 0 / root then continue, else start over>
adb remount
adb push su /system/xbin/su
adb shell chown 0.0 /system/xbin/su
adb shell chmod 06755 /system/xbin/su
adb shell /data/local/nachoroot.bin --undo
adb reboot
If you did it right an your device didn’t turn into an ipad you should be ok. Go to the market. Get super user. If all goes well you have root.
STOP: Now if you don’t want to install recovery and get a rom (which I HIGHLY recommend) this concludes the end of the tutorial. Feel free to view the information after the recovery and rom section.
3.1 Recovery Installation and roms.
THIS REQUIRES A MICRO SD CARD
If you are here you must want to get recovery, install a rom, and make your tf 1000% times better.
To begin go to http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1346180
Get the app either on your computer OR your transformer. Install it, and click the giant button. Let it do it’s thing. Now you have recovery, which allows you to install roms.
Time to boot in recovery. Get this app:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1173434
and click the oversized button to boot into recovery. (Yes you can do the other method by turning of your tf and holding both power button and bottom volume at the same time then clicking vol up when you see text, but that requires more then one finger.
There you go. You’ll see a recovery screen.
NOW pay careful attention. Once you are there we need to make a backup. Use your vol keys to scroll down to “Backup and restore”. Select it with the power key. Now make a backup by clicking backup (With the vol and power keys from now on obviously). Now you have a backup. To install a rom simply get the rom from the xda section (check comp. and don’t get nflash) and put it on your micro sd card. Boot into recovery. Scroll down to “install zip from sd card”. Then choose zip from sd card. Find the rom you put on the micro sd card. It should install. If this was to difficult view this kind man’s vid tutorial:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fWdfce9wBjs&feature=related
May be wondering what rom you should pick. I recommend revolver, because the dev is offering me a large some of many to say that (Just kidding ). But really revolver is great.
Others include:
Prime
Revolution
And many more at: http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=1107.
I wonder why there has been no one at least thanking you for your effort in writing this reference,
However i followed your instructions and have been successfully able to root my Transformer,

My answer is NO. I just push to ICS 4.0.3 and it does not work on ICS.

[Q] Nexus 10 ADB backup error

Before unlock and root my nexus 10, I tried to backup up my app and setting using ADB backup. However, no matter using Wug's toolkit or mskip's toolkit, the backup function doesn't work for me. Every time, after I click the backup button from my nexus 10, the PC screen just pop up a window says that the backup has completed. However, the backup .ab file size is 0 bytes. I tried several times and also tried to restart pc and tablet and turn the tablet to airplane mode before backup. Still doesn't work. Is something wrong with my nexus 10? Any suggestion will be appreciated.
Is there no body having same problem?

Does anybody have the same problem? Have you solved your problem? I have a lot apps and games. I don't want to lose them and their setting after unlocking and root. Please help.

i would not rely on a tool. best way is to enter the command directly either in linux terminal or windows command prompt.
go to the directory where sdk is installed and where u can find adb.
on my linux machine it is under /downloads/android-sdk-linux-x86/platform-tools/
make sure to be root
then i type in ./adb devices (to make sure adb finds my device)
then i go /.adb backup -all -nosystem -noshared -apk -f /home/me/backup/something.ab
in windows fire up command prompt as administrator
go into ur adb directory
type adb devices
then adb backup -all -nosystem -noshared -apk -f c:\backup\something.ab
hope it works

I found the solution for my nexus 10 is not to connect to USB 3.0 but USB 2.0 of laptop. Then everything works well.

two possible workarounds are
first punch in a password for ur backup and see if it works
second use adb command thru terminal linux or command prompt windows

Changing your Moto X bootlogo (no root needed)

So the customized bootlogo is just a bitmap, it is stored at /dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/clogo.
To back it up (root required for backup):
adb shell su -c "dd if=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/clogo of=/sdcard/clogo.bmp"
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
To "de-customize" the bootloader:
adb reboot bootloader
fastboot erase clogo
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
To flash a new one:
fastboot flash clogo <filename>.bmp

Make sure the file is the same dimensions as the original, attached is my "PwnMyMoto" bootlogo, for reference
Nice.
Maybe one of the older nexus boot animations could be converted. Would be sweet.
Here's mine
Maybe it's the beer, but how do we know if it's the same dimensions?

No problem, here you go. I'll probably make more like it, just to do it.
Could we get this mod on the MAXX or new DROID line by any chance?

Looks awesome thanks!
On another note, what happened to Moto-fastboot? I mean I'm glad it's gone but figured that wouldn't ever change.

Is there a way to do this without adb? I'm having a hard time getting everything to work on my laptop.

No, you run the commands in a command prompt window, not adb. You're using adb whenever you type in "adb ...." you're using fastboot whenever you type "fastboot..." both adb and fastboot are separate executables and are in the same directory hence why typing either "adb" or "fastboot" into the same command prompt works for both functions. "adb reboot bootloader" calls the adb exe and "fastboot reboot-bootloader" calls the fastboot exe

So the answer is, "You cannot do this without a computer."
You said, "ADB", but we all knew that you meant "fastboot".
So yeah you need your computer and fastboot.
If you are having a tough time installing the android sdk you could try using "minimal adb" I think it is called?

I have tried this on the Ultra multiple times and after a few reboots it reverts back to the stock image any thoughts on stopping this or why it is happening?
