[Q]

Hello everyone,
Been following posts here for a little while and I'm aware there is no right place to post this question. I have a rogers SGH-I727R which was rooted via SuperOneClick. After attempting to reinstall busybox I lost root access and can't quite seem to get it back. I've tried going through SuperOneClick to unroot/root however the program hangs and I'm forced to kill the process. The following are my results from "Root Checker Pro":
Superuser Application Status:Superuser application - version 3.0.7 - is installed!System File Properties for Root Access:Standard LocationCheck Command: ls -l /system/bin/su:Result: lrwxrwxrwx root root 2012-01-03 21:20 su -> /system/bin/busyboxAnalysis: File: su is a symbolic link pointing to another file: /system/bin/busyboxStandard LocationCheck Command: ls -l /system/xbin/su:Result: -rwsr-sr-x root root 22228 2012-01-0301:53*suAnalysis: Setuid attribute present and root user ownership present.

I apologize for the messy format. Any and all help would be greatly appreciated.

I could not get SuperOneClick to work after I did the ota update to 2.3.6 with my original SR.
I had to exchange that phone and my replacement is on 2.3.5
SuperOneClick worked on my 2.3.5 phone first try.

Never mind. Just saw your reply above.
Not sure about the LTE HD.

Yes it does. The recovery tar is for i727 skyrocket. Dont try it on a different device. I not sure what to tell you as you have a different device.

[Q] Terminal not showing any output?

After I have succesfull root and unroot my terminal doesn't show any output only error messages. I'm also unable to re-root my device. When I copy psneuter to /data/local/tmp the terminal doesn't give any message nor an error message but psneuter isn't copy. I have verified it by createing in a file in /data/local/tmp and copy it to my sdcard. Gingerbreak doesn't work either and gives error "Couldn't extract asset". I have an orphaned su on my device but it has only user rights. Is there a way I can fix my terminal and re-root my device? Uh!

Are you sure the issue is not with the terminal app ?
you can try other terminal app to confirm

I tried many things I also tried a different terminal app to no avail. The solution was to copy a working busybox. I think toolbox would work, too. My busybox was out-of-order and toolbox was also replaced with busybox! As a result many blobs didn't work and the terminal was black. Su did work because it a standalone applet. Adb push to /data/local/tmp worked, too, but the terminal was black and many applet not working.

[method] change play store download location

Hi guys, today i am here to tell you a method only tested on a galaxy y, but i hope it will work for all. this is a method to change the download location for play store.
WARNING!!!
1. WARRANTY IS NOW VOID.
2. NOT MY PROBLEM IF SOME APP FAIL.
3. PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE DO A NANDROID BACKUP BEFORE THIS.
This is a simple code but it needs root for sure. now the necessities are as follows:
1. A complete nandroid backup
2. Root Permissions
3. Any terminal emulator. e.g https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=hecticman.jsterm
4. You need to know the default download location and the mount point of sd card( if that is where you want the new download location )
Now let's start.
Just know this that mnt/sdcard will have to be replaced by your sdcard mount point and data/app will have to be replaced by the default download location. i underlined them for easy understanding.
NOT MY PROBLEM IF THIS FAILS AND YOUR PLAY STORE CRASHES. JUST DO A NANDROID RESTORE.
THERE WILL ALREADY BE A $ AT START SO U DON'T HAVE TO PUT IT.
$ su
# mkdir /mnt/sdcard/playstore
# cp -r /data/app/* /mnt/sdcard/playstore
# rm -rf /data/app
# ln -s /mnt/sdcard/playstore /data/app
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
what the code does:
1. Grant super user permissions
2. Make a directory in sdcard named playstore.
3. Copy all items (recursively) from data/app to sdcard/playstore
4. Delete data/app
5. Symlink the new location to fake the original.
Hitting Thanks can help.
and once again PLEASE BACKUP BEFORE THIS AND RESTORE IF NOT SUCCESSFUL.
This is based on the code used by link2sd.

The sdcard is fat32 or ntfs, but the fat32 and ntfs doesn't support link,only ext2,ext3,ext4 and so on support the link
---------- Post added at 11:28 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:16 PM ----------
Well,i have had a try, this code can work,and it can creat a link on /data/app, but it can't creat a link on /mnt/sdcard, i think i have made a mistake.

why would you ever want to do that?

It can create a link. Try again

You need busybox installed.
Try this commands:
chattr -AacdDijsStu *.apk
rm "your package name"
This time it will get removed without error
Enjoy

You need to have root access.
Try rooting your device, use Kingroot App
Then, try these commands
su
chattr -AacdDijsStu *.apk
rm "your package name"

How can I delete the su file from the /system/bin and /system/xbin I keep getting operation not permitted

U can try with titanium backup once
If it doesn't work, reboot the phone, freeze the app fast when it boots and then try to uninstall it with titanium
It worked for me once

Nevermind... I just found out I delete the virus previously . I did so much stuff with the cellphone, I think what got rid of it was a "Format" I applied with the PC. Because I plugged in my cellphone and my laptop, browse its files and find the malware, and I try to delete it but it say that I was not allowed, so I just select the cellphone and did a "quick format" you know? That thing you do with the USB Flash drive, and i did, and later I found this website and I tried what you said and on the screen appear a message saying not found.... I just right now check the system apps with root brower and I cannot find the malware, even with my ikarus antivirus! Im so happy! Thank you anyways this is such a helpfull blog... Im still going to run some scans though, to really make sure the malware is gone for good! thanks again
