is it safe to remove bloatware now??

travishamockery · Aug 20, 2010

question. will the bootstrap work now to get into clockworkmod and be able to make a backup of this system again?

Those with logwrapper problems. You don't need to reflash.

You need to connect via adb and remount your system folder with rw permission.

Go to /system/bin

remove the hijack link to logwrapper and rename logwrapper.bin to logwrapper.

I was extra safe and made a backup of hijack, logwrapper, and logwrapper.bin. Then I:
rm logwrapper
cp logwrapper.bin logwrapper

Then exit adb.

Currently flashing now.

Confirmed!

Made changes with root explorer and Flashing now. Thanks for the tip

Let us know how it goes. I forgot to bring my netbook to work with me today so I can't flash the sbf or use adb to make any changes. Hopefully we can do it all through root explorer.

Can you explain to me how you did it in Root Explorer. I'm just making sure I am doing it correctly

I clicked logwrapper and deleted, then renamed logwrapper.bin to logwrapper change back to r/o and rebooted.

Much better than having to setup the whole thing from scratch

Browse to System/Bin
Delete Hijack
Delete Logwrapper
Rename Logwrapper.bin to Logwrapper

Reboot into recovery and update.zip

It worked perfectly. Running rooted froyo now

Update: Maybe not. I can't wake my phone from standby after 2 reboots.

I didn't delete hijack and things seems to be update fine so far. Could I run into problems since I didn't delete it?

Edit: Booting up now and it's working fine.

BTW Flash is silky smooth.

Anyone have the link for flash? Can't remember if I still have it after putting it on my wife's DROID.

You MUST uninstall Koush's "recovery" and reboot before trying to update to 2.2 2 minutes ago via web

update went without a hitch, only problem so far is my ADB is no longer working.

[APP] Adobe Flash 10.1 APK - xda-developers

Anybody wanna test to see if the overclock modules still work

I'm not getting prompted either, but I think that's okay, I clicked on the superuser app icon and it showed the list of apps that are allowed so it looks like it remembers the apps you've authorized after the froyo update. Wireless tether still works so I assume I'm okay.

Can you get into recovery?

Turn off phone
Hold Power + Home
When Motorola Logo comes up release power button
When ! comes up hit search
If you get this far, try doing update.zip

Worth a shot!
