ROOTED droid!

It seems that the Droid has taken root, which means how did founf give the owner (we are not rent the thing you know) administrative rights on the operating system.

So I think that piracy of the malicious intentions and should be a crime, happens to me also to think that someone is selling a device and then imposing restrictions on what they do with it, it is no less. We paid for the phone, we confess. I understand completely if the manufacturer and carrier want to void the warranty and also refuse to provide technical support, but other that that, we leave them alone. If we want to take the risk of bricking the phone, our risk.

No one could be for an automaker does not let you put on different tires, change the audio system or to change or modify many operational aspects of the right car? There is a little difference of rights of directors from decompiling or rewriting parts of the OS and it benefits then.

I look forward, at some point when companies realize that we are the owners of the phone, not tenants and it is not a privilege to buy the phone, they should be allowed to sell it for us.

> Then I think that piracy of malicious intent is and should be a crime, happens to me also to think that someone is selling a device and then placing restrictions on what they do with it, it is no less. We paid for the phone, we own it.

You're right about the phone - but it has nothing to do with the software, we license for use with the phone and are legally bound by the terms of this license.

I LOVE that the phone has taken root and what it means for third party applications (can you say "bluetooth-full capacity" and "multipoint in all screens?) but let's call it what it is: piracy. And if it is in violation of the user's license, then owners must take responsibility for that--because the downside of rooting is malicious apps that will be able to do all sorts of vile and evil things to the BONE - and your data and personal information.

On the one hand - the droid app world just got a big door wide open upwards - so user must now be much, much more cautious on the applications that they install.

    > Is there an official guide for the rooting Droid?

    Laughing out loud! No - of course that non - rooting your Droid is not supported by the manufacturer (Motorola) or distributor (Verizon).

    While rooting your Droid does not void your warranty, it can leave you up a Creek without a paddle (IE, without the support of the Moto or VZW) If screw you something up... it is not advisable unless you already know what you are doing - and know how to save your existing system software so that you can re - install.

    Here in the forums of Motorola sponsored is definitley not the place to talk about rooting.

    For information and advice, please visit:

    www.alldroid.org

    -they just moved their Council to a BBS system so it can be difficult to find stuff - but the info is there.

    Also, check out AndroidForums.com, specifically

    This link

    But once again, and I can't say enough: If you don't know what you're doing when it comes to install a linux style operating sysytem, is maybe not for you. Play with the operating system, you are left to get help from other users - Motorola and VZW will not be able to help you.

  • I tried to look at my device manager and go this message MMC cannot create a snap

    I wasn't at the root droid to my husband, to see if the installation of the driver, have been, to my horror, saw NO Device Manager, just MMC cannot create a snap.

    I think I'll probably have to do a clean re install to get this and a few other problems I've seen lately. Any suggestions?

    Hi beckyandac

     

    1. what other issues do face you?
    2. for how long have you been faced with this problem?
    3. did you of recent changes on the computer?
    4. do you get error messages when you try to open Device Manager?

     

    Method 1:

    Try opening the Device Manager by following the steps mentioned.
    Click the Start button, then click on control panel - system and Maintenance, then select Device Manager. If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.

    Method 2:
    You can perform a scan of the SFC (System File Checker). It lists all the issues and will also retrieve all files if necessary. Follow the steps below to perform a Scan SFC -

    a. click Start, click programs, on Accessoriesprincipally made, right click guestand then click run as administrator. If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password, or click Allow
    b. type the following command and press ENTER:
    sfc/scannow
    A message appears indicating that "the system scan will start. Be patient because the scan can take some time.
    c. If all files require a SFC replace will replace them. You may be asked to insert your Win7 DVD for this process to continue.
    d. If everything is correct you should, after the scan, see the following message "resource protection Windows not found any breach of integrity".
    e. once the scan is finished, close the command prompt window, restart the computer and check.

    See the link for further directions on scan SFC - below
    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/929833

     

    Method 3:
    If the problem persists, you can check if you are facing the same question in the user account new or different administrator account.  You can create a new user account on your computer, and then check.

    Create a new user account-

    Greetings ejb426,

    Like drago mentioned, there are file BT and WiFi, sharing applications on the market, but they don't allow you to share an Internet connection. You need to attach or a WiFi area reactive on the device of source of data (your Razr phone in this case) to enable connection sharing. In fact, I have a Razr phone Droid myself (provided by my company) and three tablets, including the Xoom FE. Since my company has their own data plan, they allowed the reactive capacity of Droid Razr so I can connect the Xoom FE when I use it for business purposes (for example presentations customer, site travel sellers, etc..). It's the only legitimate (and legal) way to share the data between devices phone plan.

    Please note the rules and political positions that bypass the agreements (e.g. sharing data from your phone without having to pay for the option).

  • Droid Turbo Bootloader unlock

    I bought a Motorola Droid Turbo XT1254 in Pakistan and that you want to unlock the bootloader, so I can it root and use Titanium Backup to backup/restore my apps and games. I made a thread on the Verizon forums but probably will not receive a reply, they give no email address to contact them either. I emailed Motorola also yet to answer.
    Please give me the bootloader unlock that I'm not in the United States and don't use SIM card code or Verizon services. I can provide all the information required to generate a bootloader unlock code. It is not a State secret and Verizon should allow Motorola give codes as they do for all other phones unlock.

    Don't expect anything from these people and you will never be disappointed

  • DROID FRG22D delay after the return or the "home" button pressed

    Anyone else see this problem - started for me 1-2 weeks ago? I have never rooted - just stock.

    To use the soft TOP, I see that the CPU is maxed out on a couple of different process-

    com Android.Launcher and I see dozens of processes called kcryptd, kcryptd_io and loop1 by loop49

    If takes about 25 seconds on my home screen to display the icons in the opposite case he has the background, but nothing else and about 33 seconds after each time the House or search key until CPU levels return to normal. Most of the time a restart of the phone does not help. The phone includes works normally otherwise and applications running well - the problem only occurs after you press back or home buttons.

    Do a factory reset. This will clean the Junk installs. When you reconnect, go to settins immediately and turn on wifi, then go have a sandwich or something and let your apps repopulate. Launcher Pro and ADW Launcher have the ability to keep the House in memory. I find Launcher Pro a little more stable in this regaurd. The essential is to free memory, but without a custom rom, you will find VERY few applications that will store for SD. Custom roms can override this default, but void you your warranty with this approach, then it AYOR. Droid 2 and X both has a distinctly more native memory and motorcycle would certainly prefer that you explore THIS option. I intend to get my money's worth out of my Droid.

  • Droid: How to change the types of contact or add contacts phone only (no sync gmail)?

    I have a Motorola Droid on Verizon.  I use the file update Android 2.1 actions, and I have not rooted.  I have not loaded all the apps that modify the application contact or hook in there as I know.  The only application that I'm unsure about is Skype, which I believe is able to access the contacts, but does present itself as a type of contact.

    Problem:

    I manually added a few contacts on the phone.  When I checked my gmail account, these contacts appeared in my gmail contacts list.  It is unacceptable that the many contacts that I need to put it in my phone can not be rejected (for legal reasons) in a Cloud Computing environment.

    Requested documentation:

    I tried Google cela and have asked for help on the forums android on Freenode IRC chat channel.  I was unable to find a solution.

    Tried solutions that does not work:

    Only one user on Freenode referred to the possibility to click on the "Contact Type" at the top of the new user form to select other types of contact (on his HTC phone), but when I type on where it says, 'Google Contact,' no other options are provided, nor any generated interaction.

    Need of solution:

    A way to enter a contact manually or via the file download, to produce phone only contacts who are NOT synchronized to my gmail account.

    Hmmm.  If you go into the settings menu, click Accounts & sync, select an account and disable the synchronization of Contact (supposed Google account), manually create a new contact on the phone, will be this new contact on the phone or be synchronized into the cloud?  (He did not personally, but my hope is that it should not sync.)  I have three accounts of GMail on my phone and only synchronize contacts to one of them.  Contacts in the other two accounts do not seem to come and go. -Mark

  • DROID-problem with screen

    I got my Droid the day of the new year, I was working very well, but after I blocked my phone, I went to unlock and a black screen came on, down keys came on the backlight of the screen but nothing else but black, y at - it solutions? or a way to reset (already tried Ctrl-alt-delete) I removed the battery and replaced but same thing just the backlight black screen blank.

    There is something wrong with your Droid internally. Hardware or software has not. I'm 99% positive that his kind of thing is covered by the warranty.

    Take it to the Verizon store and show them what the problem is. Just tell them that it happened one day when I tried to turn it on. If you have been playing with the system operating, hacking, rooting or do other things with the Droid that go beyond the activity typical user, you can keep this information for you.

  • Find root password

    Upgrade to Mac OS Sierra and all my accounts now have Standard permissions, i.e. without administrator permissions.

    How I either upgrade my administrator account or find the password for Root?

    There is no root password. This is a disabled account. For good reasons.

    You can enable the root account, but that increases your risk of being hacked much, because the root is a known account that has unlimited privileges. Enabling root makes your Mac a rich target environment.

    But if that's how you want to live your life, Google "enable OS X root" and you will find several approaches.

  • User root cannot be turned on/off

    Hello, I am an inexperienced user of OS X, and I started looking on the privileges of the user for a while, just in case, for safety. And when I learned that all root user, I started tinkering on my MacBook, unusual activities as not to wake from sleep, sometimes running the fans at full speed at idle, useless speed even download when no activity going on in front of my computer, may be subject to a person who has had access to my mac back earlier that activated the user root and back to my mac remotely from the back then.
    So I tried to disable the root user, but I couldn't turn it off the screen or the directory utility with the command terminal dsenableroot - d. It just says: failed to disable the root user. `

    I need help on this problem. Thank you

    .. .but I couldn't turn it off the screen of the utility directory

    What were the exact steps that you did and what stopped you from neutralizing him?

    If you couldn't turn it off, because the menu item to disable showing 'enable', then the root user is not enabled.

  • After you turn off the root of the directory utility user, I went back to the main screen and all other user accounts showed is no longer at the start, as they were before you enable the root user.  Help.  Please, I beg you.

    I have activated the user 'root '.  It was an attempt (for the sake of granddaughter age) to check its history since I am the administrator.  Realizing that this method was much more complicated than what I am capable of managing, I returned the utility program directory and disabled the user 'root '.  I thought that everything was ok, as I did not made anything while connected as user 'root '.  Instead, restart the computer, all users, including myself were no longer at the start.  The only point was a blank user name and password.  No picture.  No guest.  No user.  How to return those and I did something to cause this?

    Else you being logged in as root?

    Activation and deactivation, then root should not have caused that.

    Also, having allowed root is one of the ways you get a login screen showing only the name and the password.

    You should be able to type in your user name and password to connect.

    One time connected, check users & groups system prefs, Connection Options and make sure he's on the list of users. You will have to click on the padlock at the bottom to make changes.
