i have a problem, i followed the steps exactly on how to change custom boot animation, but now all i got is a black screen as an animation when the phone boots up, how do i revert back to the VZW boot screen? or how do i correct this?
Well you could just do a factory reset. It will bring back every thing back to normal d will not remove root ether, or you can get the incredible rom and get the boot animation and change it with adb

I really don't wana reset again, i wonder my boot animations are not working

Make sure your phone is in normal boot up with development turned on.
Make sure bootanimation.zip is in your sdk/tools directory
go to cmd
change directory to sdk/tools
type in cmd > adb push bootanimation.zip /data/local
adb reboot
done.
To revert back to original boot animation
--------------------------------------
go to adb shell
type
rm /data/local/bootanimation.zip

Do you have root? If so, type su. Then it should come up with a # and try the same command again as posted.
I tried rooting my incredible to no success. It'll show a money symbol after i type adb shell.

@Sko0baQueZ
after you get the "$" symbol, type in "su" and hit enter. you should then see a "#" symbol. that is your superuser control.

By all accounts, my Nexus S 2.3.4 has been successfully rooted using this method: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1138755
Now I can use apps that require root access, and I can also type "ADB shell su" to gain root access if I want to poke around within the file stucture.
HOWEVER, what puzzles me is that when I type "adb shell", I am prompted by a "$" symbol instead of "#". I have to type "su" from the adb shell in order to get the "#" symbol, and when I exit out of shell I lose my su status. It means that I cannot simply do something like "adb shell ls /system/" or "adb remount"; I get a "permission denied" message. It also means I cannot easily pull or push files to/from the /system/ dirs from the command prompt.
When I was using a rooted 2.3.3, I was always promted with the "#" symbol after typing "ADB shell". How do I get this level of root access in 2.3.4?
This is normal.
Sent from my Nexus S 4G using xda premium
Fair enough. But is there a way to get "#" access directly from "ADB shell" ?
The main thing I want to be able to do is pull and push files directly from/to the system directories. As I mentioned previously, with my old rooted OS (2.3.3) I was able to achieve this by simply typing "adb push [myfile] /system/".
But now, it seems my only options are:
a) "adb push [myfile] sdcard/", then "shell", then "su" and then copy the files from /sdcard/ over to /system/, then "exit" "exit".
b) Boot into recovery, mount the system, then "adb push [myfile] /system/".
Is there a simpler method?

no one wants an insecure boot image. imagine if a malicious app was installed onto your phone, and it had complete root privilege to whatever it want. before you would know it, you would have a $20000 bill to some porn site. and there would be a video of you doing whatever you do in privacy, floating around the internet, recorded from your phones front facing camera
i have a Samsung Exhibit 4g phone, rooted and backed up by titanium backup. I tried using the kitchen theme stuff, and i copied the original framework-res.apk file to a folder in the sd card . Then i copied the framework-res.apk file from the UOT zip to the location where the original file was and rebooted the phone. Now my phone is stuck at the Samsung logo screen and it keeps looping. anyway to fix this? :/
P.S: the location i copied the original file doesnt show up in the recovery menu when i go to install package. Also, when i tried the downloading mode, it just says downloading and doesnt do anything. Tried factory restore too. The original file is somewhere on the sd card i just dont know how to access it and put it back into its original location.... no i dont have a copy of it on my computer.
Follow this guide
If you are in a loop, you have to manage this fast or else it will just reboot again, i suggest a copy and paste function for the third command. also I don't know for sure whether /dev/block/st19 is your /system partition, but i'll try.
Code:
adb shell
Code:
su
Code:
mount -o rw,remount /dev/block/st19 /system
Code:
exit
Code:
adb push /pathtoyour"ORIGINAL"frameworkres /system/framework
PS, Do this within 15-20 seconds. (You will have multiple attempts as you can do it after every loop)
once you are done, just hard reboot your phone(using power button)
Also you do this in a terminal/cmd window with your phone plugged in.
wait

I installed a tempered glass screen protector on my S4 and it messes with the proximity sensor. I contacted the manufacturer and this is what they told me to do:
Thanks for reaching out to us! Any issues with the S4 proximity sensor can be fixed by recalibrating the proximity sensor by issuing the following command:
echo 1 > /sys/devices/virtual/sensors/proximity_sensor/prox_cal
I entered that command in my TE and I keep getting an error. I can't really tell where there are spaces, where there are possible spaces, etc. Can anyone look at that command and break it down for me? Like:
echo (space)1(space)>(space)/sys/devices/virtual/sensors/proximity_sensor/prox_cal
That is what I tried and no go.

What is the error you are receiving in terminal emulator when entering the command? Also you could try entering the command from adb shell. Let me know if you still have questions.

Is your device rooted? Try running the command as the root user which should fix the error.

Thanks for your help. This may be a stupid question, but how do I run the command as the root user? My device is rooted, confirmed with tibu. When I open TE I get the $ sign in the command prompt. Do I need to get that to #, and if so how. I tried to do the same process when I rooted but still didn't work.
Thanks,

To run the command as root in terminal emulator type the following (Don't actually input the $ and # symbols):
Code:
$ su
#
Entering "su" gives you a root shell from which to run commands from. After you have a root shell in terminal emulator try running the original command you were given.
Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda premium
Okay, I typed su, got the # sign and entered the original code I was given. Hit return and this is what I got:

How do I know if it calibrated? I broke the tempered glass protector lol trying to "fix" it another way so waiting for another one.

If your get a root prompt in terminal after entering the command and not an error message the command was executed successfully and your display should now be calibrated.

I'd recommend you To install KitKat again, but if you want to keep L and be able To read your storage go To terminal and type "su", press enter, type "restorecon -FR /data/media/0", press enter, wait and then reboot. To backup your data before you can go To recovery and use ADB pull.
Sent from my Nexus 5 using XDA Free mobile app
What he said. Just to add on to that after you do adb pull to backup your data you can not use adb push to put it back on. You'll have permissions issues. You'll have to use MTP and just copy/paste the data back.
Ok, thanks!
And how do I do adb pull in the recovery? (TWRP 2.7.1)

So, I'm an idiot and was working too close to my phone with some heavy tools. Long story short, I ended up dropping my Dewalt drill directly on the screen. It's completely ruined and no longer has any picture on the screen. The phone itself still turns on. I'm able to unlock with fingerprint, etc. The problem is...since I can't actually see anything on the screen, I'm not sure exactly where to press and swipe to access private mode. I had some files for work stored in private mode that I need to retrieve from the phone (customer contracts)...but since I can't see anything, I don't know exactly how to get them back. Any ideas? Thanks in advance!

Perfect. Now you can make a .bat script that pushes a screenshot fron your device every second.
You do it in following way:
1. Create a normal text file and write in there:
Code:
:1
adb shell screencap -p /sdcard/screen.png
adb pull /sdcard/screen.png
adb shell rm /sdcard/screen.png
goto 1
2. Rename it to Screenshot.bat
3. Run it and you will see a command prompt in loop getting screenshots from your device. Then open the newly created "screen.png". If you're using Windows 7, the image will update automatically every second and you will see a 'live feed' of your device's screen.
If your touchscreen is damged too, you will need inputting keyevents, like touch x y. If that's your case, just say me and I'll explain you.

Install adb on your machine, reboot and try again.
Search here on xda for "15 seconds adb and fastboot installer".
(While installing, press Y for Yes when prompting to install it system wide)
Do not forget to reboot!
