????????????????????????????????????????????????????
Enter your device into Bootloader, and connect it with ActiveSync, then run that file, hopefully that will do
or try to copy that file in your ppc and run it, afaik it creates a txt file with some info in it..

I'm trying to backup .apk files to my sdcard via AppManager and then open up the XML files to see if I can tweak it, however whenever I try to do this, with any .apk file, it's always messed up and no matter what program I use to edit the .xml file it won't display and it comes up with errors.
Anyone know why this is and/or how to fix it?

They are a strange mix of binary and hex. It's not a human readable xml.
So is there any way to edit them?

Seems like there is a program that will read and convert them to human readable, but you can't edit them and have the changes saved. I will post back when I find it.
The java program is called AXMLPrinter2 and can be run from a command prompt, which converts to TXT.
I'll refer to Stericson's post here on editing Android XML files
I am looking for a run down on signing a file.
So far, I have taken other people files and just edited images from the apk moved them back and signed using Kitchen (Only way I know how)
So I am at a stand still here...
I want to add
app\Rosie.apk
and
system\com.htc.resources.apk
to a file so that I can change things a little more.
But have not had luck.
Can someone give the rest of us some steps?
Thanks.
are you on windows? if so, then use this batch script. unzip it and get to signing
how would you sign a zip on a mac?

firstly, install java. then look inside the batch script and you'll see the basic layout for signing files from terminal.
EDIT: what it inside the script is this basic layout for signing, "java -jar signapk.jar testkey.x509.pem testkey.pk8 update.zip update_signed.zip"
replace "update.zip" with your zip file and update_signed.zip with your zip file with "signed" or something so you know it's signed appended before the .zip

Yes, I am running windows. Thanks for the file! I will give it a try.
So I see the Sign.bat All I know so far, (Sorry, still new)
My folder will be laid out like this.
<update.zip>
<system>
<app>Rosie.apk</app>
<framework>com.htc.resources.apk</framework>
</system>
<update.zip>
But I dont know where to go from there?
I wonder if we counted, how many threads do you think were started here with this EXACT same question?

I dont know how to do that or what it does.
I unziped the folder to my desktop but really dont know where to go from there.
I also dont know command prompt at all for the most part.
Only little things {cd} {*} things like that but even than its just at sight.
I looked http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=618874 and there does not seem to be a wiki or anything on this.
make a new folder where you'll want to zip all your files
copy the autosign.zip to this folder
unzip it.
zip up your files and update-script, name the zip update.zip and put them in this folder
run the batch script from command prompt
Code:
Sign.bat
you will now have a new zip called update_signed.zip, which is you signed update.zip
Does flipzmode's Kitchen do the same thing?
I know there is a sign part to it.
I have used it but not sure if it does the same thing.
When doing this is get an error.
It says it can not find the update script?

Unzip this. Place the testsign.jar in the root directory of your Mac. Not the home (user) directory, but should be "Macintosh HD" or something of the sort. Then place the Android-Sign.app in /Applications. Even easier to make a shortcut to it in the dock. Whenever you want to sign a file, drag it to the Android-sign app, and it will sign it and put it in the same directory as the original, with "signed" at the end so you'll know which one is which.
For Mac there is an auto-sign program. Just put testsign.jar on the root of your computer hard drive (Macintosh HD) and it works. To sign a ROM, open the rom folder, select all the contents, right-click, and click Conpress. Rename archive.zip to whateveer you want. Drag it onto the Android Sign program and then wait for the program to close (when the dot goes away). There should be another file in the ROM folder called Archive-signed.zip. That is your signed zip.
...That's what I just posted.

We posted it at like the same time I think he figured out how to do the actual signing, but he zipped the folder and not the contents. So... It was rom.zip>rom>contents of rom.

You're using Stericson's autosign.bat correct?
I might be wrong but if you use Kitchen you can auto sign things and it works really good.
I downloaded the Android SDK on the website and the drivers from MotoDev and placed them on my desktop. I ran the drivers and they installed fine. I unzipped the SDK, created a new folder in my C: drive called AndroidSDK and placed the unzipped folder in that folder.
I opened Command Prompt and entered:
cd C:\AndroidSDK\android-sdk-windows\tools
then entered:
fastboot oem unlock
and got this error:
This application has failed to start because AdbWinApi.dll was not found. Re-installing the application may fix this issue.
I then went into the SDK and read the readme where it says that adb was moved. It says it was moved to platforms. When I open the folder there is nothing in there.
try the path that ends with "platform-tools" instead
Sent from my Xoom using XDA Premium App
Ok I figured it out. I clicked on something and it brought up a repo. I download the missing platform-tools.
I ran the commands again and I'm still getting the errors. Should I copy everything from platform-tools into the tools directory?
gqstatus0685 said:
I tried that also. I forgot to add that in my first post. There is nothing inside that folder. Am I missing adb? Is there a way to download it and drop it into that folder? I'm lost on this.
Thanks.

Did you open the SDK Manager and make sure all your packages are updated?

I did do that but cancelled after it installed the platform-tools. Should I let it download everything? It looked like it was going to take a long ass time.
**** I ended up downloading all the updates for 3.1 and entered the commands again. This time it was able to cd into the platform-tools but I can't enter the command fastboot oem unlock because I get error:
"fastboot" is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file
Just my luck...
fastboot is in the "tools" folder, not the "platform-tools" folder.

Ok I changed CD but now it's telling me it can't find a file that's located in platform-tools. Should I copy all the files from platform-tools and move them into the tools folder?
*********************************************************
Ok. I moved the file and it worked. My Xoom is unlocking. I have the worst luck when I borrow someone else's laptop.
Copy any files it tells you it can't find. I haven't encountered that issue myself, but that's the solution I've seen others recommend.
I'd like to thank Gnac and the other people who helped me achieve root with the issues I was having.
Anyway I have an SD card in my Xoom and I don't think it's working like it should. I downloaded a file manager, loaded a .zip on there of a theme I want to install but when I boot into recovery it's not there.
I've verified it's in the SDcard with the file manager and it's in .zip format. I'd prefer to flash it instead of adb'ing it because I keep all my .zip organized in folders on my SD card. Before inserting the SD card in the Xoom I did wipe it.
I'm rooted 3.1 and I have Busybox installed. I'm running:
[email protected] #2
Any ideas how I can get the files to be seen in recovery?
i need help with files disappear in my android after encrypting them with ES FILE EXPLORER app (
mostly are files with.mp4' after making a decrypted with the app ( es file explorer ) they simlpy VANISH from the android and cant find them
i am terribly need them back/
please help
Wondering what sense does it make to encrypt videos unless they are porn-videos?
keep Wondering, add some extra for that. but it's not the case this time....
..
can you help instead of wondering ?
Try this:
Look inside the folder where the videos should be and look there for a file named .nomedia. If this file is present delete it.
Didnt work :
i dont know where the .eslock files disappear ( which are the file being decrypted by this program ) i tried seach also with other applications.. but nothing :S
An .ESLOCK file is an encrypted file created by ES File Explorer app.
When you encrypt ( read: lock ) a file with the ES File Exploer app, then file is renamed to a set of numbers and letters and given the "eslock" file extension, which appears similar to asd496gfr04.eslock.
These .ESLOCK files should be found in the folder where the original files where housed. You can search Android for such files using ADB
Code:
adb devices
adb shell "cd /; ls -R * ^| grep 'eslock'"
thanks.

Use the ADB installer what is in my signature below linked to. Once installed connect Android device with PC via USB-cable and enable in Android's Settings -> Developer options "USB Debug". When having done so open a Windows command prompt and run the ADB commands.
hi again,
I couldn't find anything with the search.
I tried to make another file being encrypted.
but after a day it vanished as well after the encryption.
i dont know whats happening, and if there's another way to resotre those files being vanished :?
also i got most of the search " access denied as in the picture "
