Droid Inc2 root Error (misc_version question) - General Questions and Answers

Hey, new member, I know this is the wrong place but I can't post here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1298990&page=7
Ubuntu 11.10, everything seems to be working ok, but when I run "sudo ./adb shell /data/local/tmp/sh -c '/data/local/tmp/misc_version -s 2.18.605.3'" I get:
Code:
--set_version set. VERSION will be changed to: 2.18.605.3
Patching and backing up partition 17...
Error opening backup file.
I had been trying to run all the commands myself, so then I tried running the actual "hack-vivow.sh" script. I got the same error mid-stream, but it proceeded, until hitting this error at the end:
Code:
INFOchecking main version...
FAILED (remote: 43 main version check fail)
rebooting...
Any help? What's in misc_version, and what can cause this?

So it looks like it's an access to the /sdcard/ issue, where misc_version tries to make a backup to the sdcard. I can't run "adb shell 'cd /sdcard/'" successfully, but the phone thinks it's mounted...I can unmount and remount it. Thoughts?

Rooting/SD Card Problem

When I try to get root on my g1 I get to the "flash_image recovery recovery.img" step and I keep getting "error opening recovery.img: No such file or directory." I have tried changing recovery.img to /sdcard/recovery.img and I have made sure that I properly unmounted it from my computer. When I cd to sdcard and ls the only thing inside is dcim, but when I mount it to my pc again the recovery.img and update.zip folders are inside and nothing else.
Not sure what's up with your sdcard issue, but you could always just write the recov directly and bypass the sdcard:
On G1:
mount -o rw,remount -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system
On PC:
adb push /path/to/recovery.img /system/recovery.img
On G1:
cd system
flash_image recovery recovery.img
When I type "adb push /home/stephen/Desktop/recovery.img /system/recovery.img" I get bash: adb: command not found. Also, I am running Ubuntu 8.10 if that would make a difference.

In terminal, you have to cd into the directory where adb is found. It's probably easiest to put the recovery.img in the same directory as the adb file.
Try this:
adb remount
adb push recovery.img /system/recovery.img
that should work.
adb is a part of the Android sdk. If you haven't downloaded the sdk before, you'll need to do that.
Alright now I keep getting error: device not found even though I have mounted my g1.
You have to turn on debuging by going into settings->applications->development->debug

You need to follow the directions here:
http://code.google.com/android/intro/develop-and-debug.html#developingondevicehardware
Ok well I switched over to windows because Ubuntu was getting annoying and I installed sdk and everything and now when i enter "adb remount" I get remount failed: Operation not permitted. And if I put in "adb push recovery.img /system/recovery.img" I get failed to copy 'recovery.img' to '/system/recovery.img': Read-only file system.
Do you have rc29?

[GUIDE] How To Root The Sprint CDMA Hero (Linux)

If you have any suggestions on making this guide better or to correct any mistakes I may have made please let me know.
This guide is intended for any Linux OS and includes detailed instructions. It should work with another Linux OS although I have only verified these steps using Ubuntu 9.10 aka Karmic. includes detailed instructions. This will work with software versions 1.29.651.1 and 1.56.651.2 (aka Android 1.5). It will cover the steps necessary to root, flash the new recovery image, create a full backup. I am not responsible for any damage done to your phone using this guide. Root at your own risk.
Step 1: Download the Android SDK from http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html The linux file is called android-sdk_r06-linux_86.tgz. Extract the files to your home user directory so that you now have the folder /home/USERNAME/android-sdk-linux. Please note you must replace USERNAME with your own.
Step 2: Download the asroot2 exploit file from http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=244212&d=1257621154 Extract asroot2.zip to /home/username/android-sdk-linux/tools folder.
Step 3: Download the Hero recovery image from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=4898505&postcount=1g DO NOT OPEN. Simply place this file in /home/username/android-sdk-linux/tools as well.
Step 4: USB Debugging should be disable before connecting your phone via the USB cable. Connect your phone and now enable USB Debugging.
Step 5: Open a terminal found under Applications>Accessories>Terminal
Step 6: You will now enter a series of commands which I will place in code boxes to indicate the entire command.
A.
Code:
cd ~/android-sdk-linux/tools
B.
Code:
sudo su
C.
Code:
./adb push asroot2 /data/local/
D.
Code:
./adb shell
E.
Code:
chmod 0755 /data/local/asroot2
F.
Code:
/data/local/asroot2 /system/bin/sh
You should see an output that says:
$ /data/local/asroot2 /system/bin/sh
[+] Using newer pope_inode_info layout
Opening: /proc/857/fd/3
SUCCESS: Enjoy the shell.
#​Now for a few last commands.
G.
Code:
mount -o remount,rw -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system
H.
Code:
cd /system/bin
I.
Code:
cat sh > su
J.
Code:
chmod 4755 su
You are now officially rooted. A few more steps and you will have flashed the recovery image.
K.
Code:
exit
L.
Code:
exit
This will return the command line to ~/android-sdk-linux/tools.
M.
Code:
./adb push recovery-RA-heroc-v1.6.2.img /sdcard
N.
Code:
./adb shell reboot
This will cause to power off then back on automatically. Wait till the phone is fully booted to continue.
O.
Code:
./adb shell
P.
Code:
su
Q.
Code:
cd /sdcard/
R.
Code:
flash_image recovery recovery-RA-heroc-v1.6.2.img
FLASHING TO THE RECOVERY TAKES SEVERAL SECONDS-- BE PATIENT. ENTER THE NEXT COMMAND ONLY AFTER THE COMMAND PROMPT RETURNS TO THE # (ROOT SYMBOL).
S.
Code:
reboot recovery
Step 8: This is the last command; You may now close the terminal. It will cause your phone to boot into recovery mode; it should take no longer than 30 secs.
The third option on the list is "- Backup/Restore"; select it. Now, select the first option "- Nand backup". The phone will prompt you to press HOME to confirm which is want you want to do. The backup will begin. You will see the screen say, "Performing backup : .........." When done, the bottom of the screen will say "Backup complete!" and you will be given the menu options again. Go back to the main menu and select reboot system.
Step 9: Once your phone is fully booted, mount the sdcard. You will see a folder called "nandroid"; I highly recommend you copy this to your pc in case you lose your sdcard data or reformat it. Your phone is rooted, 100% backed up, and ready to install a custom rom if you wish!

You have a GSM HERO not a CDMA. This guide is intended for CDMA heros only.
Updated for recovery 1.5.1 image.
I keep getting the same error of insufficient permissions for device. What am I doing wrong? I disable USB debugging before I plug my phone in. Then I plug my phone in and enable USB debugging and then actually connect my mounting the SD card.
Edit: Ok. I found how to fix the insufficient permission problem...
Code:
./adb kill-server
sudo ./adb start-server
That will get your permissions correct but once I did that, I ran across a new error once I did ./adb shell the second time after the "chmod 0755".
Code:

$ ./adb shell
./adb: not found
Whats wrong now?
I couldn't edit my post anymore but I found that it works if I just skip the second ./adb shell. It just caused problems for me because I was already in shell and was coming up with errors. I skipped it and my root smoothly after that.
Part I skipped...
You must replace username with your own actual username.
C. "./adb push asroot2 /data/local/"
D. "./adb shell"
E. "chmod 0755 /data/local/asroot2"
F. "./adb shell"
G. "/data/local/asroot2 /system/bin/sh"
For some reason the forums are letting me edit my posts. I know I'm wasting space but I would like to give credit to jnwhiteh for the ./adb fix. I searched for it and found it in a different part of the forums.
Problem flashing recovery
Thank you for the Howto.
I have no problem with the howto, until i try to flash recovery. It seems its going ok without error messages, but when i try to boot in recovery mode it does'nt work. Remains with the HERO logo in the screen and nothing happens.

You're not giving the terminal enough time to flash the image probably. Give it like 10 secs to be on the safe side.
flash image not found
everything works fine up until i get to the part where you actually flash the recovery image, at which point i get an error reading : flash_image: not found
this is my code for the last part.

Yes, sense has booted up and everything, if this matters, my current recovery image is Amon Ra v1.2.3 and i had Eclair 2.1 v1.8 on it up until last night, as of now i have Fresh 1.1
If you're going to transfer the recovery image to the sdcard using adb push (as opposed to using usb-storage to drag/drop) you need to make sure that usb storage is turned off and the sdcard is mounted when you push the file.
My guess is that the sdcard wasn't mounted, and the file went to the (empty) /sdcard directory. Then when the sdcard is mounted, you can't see it. If you just reboot and do:
Code:
./adb shell
cd /sdcard
ls
does the recovery image file show up in the list?
I'm assuming that "flash_image: not found" means that the image file isn't where you're telling it to look.

i dont know what was up, fixed it and 1.5.2 is working great. thanks for the advice everyone. : )

Here's where I get to in the procedure, what's going on?

Do you have a non-Sprint hero? If say I recommend you check out the rooting a non-sprint hero thread.
Thanks so much for this great howto!
Looking down the road..... can the phone be unroot/restored from linux?

After you flash a custom rom, no. You will need to RUU from a Windows box.
Doesn't work from a VM or from Mac Bootcamp either. Need to have a Windows-only craputer.

[Q] Rooting a Generic 2.3.6 China Phone

Alright everyone, my first time posting on here as I've spent the past two weeks googling and googling and googling and to no avail
I have a very generic China brand Android 2.3.6 phone with an MT6573 ARMv6 processor. It's a great phone for its value (I bought it for under $40) but it has very low RAM and was hoping to use a Swap file on my SD card with SD-Booster in order to improve it's performance. So I've tried every single rooting method I can find, but not of them work for one reason: I cannot ADB anything.... ANYTHING properly.
For example, running psneuter on SuperOneClick gives this output (truncated):
Code:
export TEMPRANDOM=35445;export PS1=END:$TEMPRANDOM;ls -l /system/xbin/su
export PS1=""
/system/xbin/su: No such file or directory
END:35445
export TEMPRANDOM=61084;export PS1=END:$TEMPRANDOM;ls -l /system/bin/su
export PS1=""
/system/bin/su: No such file or directory
END:61084
export TEMPRANDOM=27372;export PS1=END:$TEMPRANDOM;chmod 755 /data/local/tmp/busybox
export PS1=""
Unable to chmod /data/local/tmp/busybox: Not a directory
see, every time I tried to chmod or push or export or any other ADB command, it keeps saying "no such file" or "not a directory" and so I don't know what's going on! Every script I've found on xda requires some ADB command and so I don't even know of zergrush or gingerbreak or psneuter can even work on my phone! I read that it may be due to the wrong ADB drivers, so I've even tried the universal adb driver installer from adbdriver(dot)com and still no dice.
I'm very new to Android and a fast learner, so please, any help or pointers in the right direction would be greatly appreciated! If you need any additional information from/about my phone, please ask and I'll provide.
Thanks in advance.
[can someone delete that post, I made a mistake, sorry q_q]
Also I don't necessarily need a script; some (slightly) detailed instructions on how to manually do it a would do me well too! I'd love to learn!
Update on what I'm doing: I've tried instead to adb with Ubuntu using Wubi. lsusb recognized my device as a Google device and I updated my Android rules file accordingly, restarted udev, but still "adb devices" turns up empty and now lsusb doesn't even recognize my device... this is getting really frustrating
okay, so, I've opened up every .bat script I can find and gone through it line by line, and this is where it fails, every time:
trying to write to the /system/ directory
the following lines of code always fail:
Code:
adb shell "/data/local/tmp/busybox mount -o remount,rw /system"
mount: permission denied (are you root?)
and
Code:
adb remount
remount failed: Operation not permitted
so basically, I'm stuck. without mounting the system directory I cannot get root.... and every time I try to mount, it seems to say I need root and NO WHERE online can I find a way to solve this problem.... here's what I'm running again:

[resolved] Help for thread [6039y] **GUIDE** Repartitioning of the internal memory

Problem solved, by using an other usb adb driver, instead of universal adb driver ; thx petrov.0
Hi, sorry for my bad english,
I've trouble to understand what's wrong or I miss : want to run the 1st command umount /cache at the 4th step (unmount all partitions of the internal memory )
C:\Program Files (x86)\Minimal ADB and Fastboot>adb shell
[email protected]:/ $ umount /cache
umount /cache
failed: Operation not permitted

Actually the phone are root, TWRP v2.8.6.0 by decker. I've also swap with twrp-2.8.7.0-idol3-6039y-with-gdisk instead of just run it one time : same trouble, Operation not permitted
Any idea ?
Just to be sure, when it writing go to device, we are under the TWRP -> Reboot -> System ... and we go to android ? And at this point I run adb shell, that ok ?
I would also say, that my first smartphone / 1st root / 1st trying
Ok I've discover what's wrong
Need writing on the commande line : adb shell su
SuperSu on the phone ask me an authorization about "adb shell", of course I say yes
Now i can see :
C:\Program Files (x86)\Minimal ADB and Fastboot>adb shell su
[email protected]:/ #​
Symbol and "user" have change
shell --> root
$ --> #​
Hope now all clear for the next step.
Unfortunaly, it's not to seem that, now I can't writing any caractere in command line
Have try :

umount /and-sec directory not found
gdisk not works
...help !
You shouldn't reboot the device. Everything must be done while the phone is in the recovery.
Not sure to understand you
When i'm under TWRP, writing in command line adb shell --> error: device not found
I really need you can detail step by step until there.

You do this from Windows, so you need drivers which recognize your device when is in the recovery. I'm not sure which drivers work with the phone. The vendor and the product IDs for the recovery are
Code:
idVendor=18d1, idProduct=4ee2
Yes the problem come from the usb driver, you have good see., despite the id vendor & product number are good
img15.hostingpics.net/pics/282113Sanstitre2.png​When I follow an tutorial for rooting, it mention to install "Universal adb driver", enought for that, but not for your Guide "Repartitioning of the internal memory"
Have use those ones of : (can't add link in this forum at this time) 54.247.87.13/softwareupgrade/Driver/ALCATEL_ADB_%20Driver%20Qualcomm_ADB.rar
I want to say lots of thank you for all that :victory:

[SOLVED] Restore build.prop to default: adb shell doesn't let me write

ROM: LineageOS 18.1, Recovery: LineageOS 18.1 recovery
I messed up and put my build.prop in an invalid state. I got the default build.prop from the rom zip,rebooted the phone to recovery (lineageos 18.1 recovery), mounted the system partition on /mnt/system, and tried to write build.prop to default via adb shell and then cat >/mnt/system/system/build.prop and writing whatever stuff I want. However, even after remounting as rw, I get the following error message:
Code:
cat: xwrite: No space left on device
The same thing happens if I just edit on my PC and do adb push
Code:
$ adb push build.prop /mnt/system/system/build.prop
build.prop: 1 file pushed, 0 skipped. 89.9 MB/s (2662 bytes in 0.000s)
adb: error: failed to copy 'build.prop' to '/mnt/system/system/build.prop': remote write failed: No space left on device
Now what does this even mean?? There is 3.1M free space, as confirmed by df -h. I really searched I cannot find anything on this. Any help would be really appreciated!

I can confirm it is mounted as rw by checking this line in /proc/mounts
Code:
/dev/block/dm-0 /mnt/system ext4 rw,seclabel,relatime 0 0
adb remount also fails with
/system/bin/sh: remount: inaccessible or not found
I'm at my wit's end, any guidance here? I feel this should really not be this difficult! I just want to rewrite build.prop from adb/recovery!

It might have something to do with overlayfs, as seen here https://android.googlesource.com/platform/system/core/+/master/fs_mgr/README.overlayfs.md. However adb remount merely says /system/bin/sh: remount: inaccessible or not found! How should I get this to work?
---
Finally: maybe I could just try to flash a zip containing only the build.prop via adb sideload? Will adb sideload wipe anything (e.g. system) or just overwrite the files which are present in the zip?
---
Just ended up flashing again. It worked without deleting apps or data
