sam do you have a gtalk im back at my dinosaur, and i dont want to confuse the masses with my issue.

[SamuriHL]

PM me. I'll work with you that way.

Well your tutorial got me on 246 with ease.. trying to regain root now, and my device won't show up after getting 246 installed and running properly. Everything is working fantastically, just no adb, won't find the device. I've tried rebooting. I have the latest everything installed. I've even tried toggling USB Debugging, have tried MTP/Mass Storage/PTP toggling, it's just not showing up in HoB for me. I'm sure I'm doing something wrong but I can't imagine what. It's not a huge deal, I have my Nexus but I wanted to see what all the ICS hubub was about today

I've had a long day of stupidity today and I can honestly say my patience are running thin. Especially for people who don't ____ing read.

Installing the House Of Bionic:

o) Install the Moto Device Manager (driver):

Please Login or Register to see this Hidden Content

o) Install the SamuriHL_HouseOfBionic_(8.x).exe
o) Install the SamuriHL_HouseOfBionic_FXZ_(x.x.xxx).exe
o) Install the SamuriHL_HouseOfBionic_RSD_(x.xx).exe
o) Install the SamuriHL_HouseOfBionic_(xxx).exe for the updates you want support for

You don't even have all the files you need, and it TELLS YOU how to install it in the OP. People who fail to read get on my bad side real quick. Cause if you can't be bothered to read how to install it, God forbid what's going to happen when you get to the USAGE part of the OP you didn't read...

I apologize for that. I realize what I was confused about. I was able to get it going and when it asked if I wanted to root and I said no. The command prompt closed and my phone is still in AP Fastboot. Should I unplug my phone and restart it or should I do something else?

You skipped a whole step. I mean SKIPPED...

Blew right through that screen and didn't bother doing what it said...

Well that had obviously occurred to me, even thought maybe a different USB port, no such luck. I am using the Moto cable too, short little bastard.

$#!7. I'm sadly running out of ideas. I put everything I know in the FAQ. I'll think more on this...keep trying.

[soocold]

wipe cache?

It's not a huge deal, I'll just put her back in the box until I can get this figured out. I knew something silly would happen when I finally broke down and did it. Not a huge deal, I'll just go back to using my Nexus. I wonder if anyone else has had the issue.

Edit: I wiped cache, the only thing I haven't done was factory reset, and I'm not looking to do that unless I absolutely have to, there are SMS/MMS that are on there that I'd like to retain and since I use Titanium Backup to save that stuff.. yeah..

[SamuriHL]

The last resort to MAKING it work is factory resetting it. I'm trying to avoid that for you.

That's the main reason I went your way, the forced OTA method was the best option keeping all my data and such on the phone. I appreciate it, like I said though, don't stress lol.. you've got enough on your plate and I imagine today has been utter hell for you. PM me if you think of a solution, I'll keep an eye on the thread too.

Alright, sorry. See if you can get adb to recognize it from the command line.

[pablo3423]

Does anyone know if the OTA came with a root checker?

i had issues with my download folder a while back( i know its different) but i went in and wiped data and cache of all the apps that i thougt went with downloading, maybe you could do some thing similar? idk what the apps would look like for usbdebug

[soocold]

hahaha praises to the master house builder, got me working after computer letdowns. also i cant stress enough, if you have a moto go get a TBH factory adapter! saved my hide today.

[hoosiercub]

Does anyone know if the OTA came with a root checker?

I'm presuming yes, since my factory recovery says 'qe 1/1' under the menu with the options for the utility.

lol, I just remembered that means is currently rooted, although any of my apps that require root beg to differ.
