[Q] CWM feeling like a newb

I downloaded everything in the cwm final
I used file manager to overwrite the old files and when I boot into recovery I still get the old recovery and not cwm
There is also nowhere for me to instal from update.zip
I have done this on my evo and it was easy but I'm clearly missing something with my galaxy 4g would someone be so kind as to give step by step instructions?

and yes you must reinstall packages every time you want to re-enter CWM so you must leave the update.zip on you SD card

can't flash CWM recovery
everytime i boot into recovery, i selected reinstall packages, then i get error : signature verification failed!
am I missing something? I have EVO too, it wasn't that difficult to install CWM.
anybody can help me by pointing to things I might have missed?

recovery.bin probably isn't being overwritten correctly. At first I downloaded the file with Dolphin Browser and had the same problems. Try downloading the file with firefox and then try pushing it to /system/bin again.

probably recovery file is not being copied in system/bin folder. i can see it has only read permission for group and write permission. i tried rom manager permission fix, that didn't change permission of recovery. i tried changing from terminal using chmod +w & chmod 755. but that didn't help change the permission on recovery file.

Rom Manager isn't working for the Galaxy S 4G yet.
What application are you using to copy recovery to /system/bin?

typically i use ES explorer but i tried File Expert too.
one typo on my prev post: i don't have write permission on recovery, only got read permission.

ES won't work. File Expert should work. Just make sure you have R/W permissions. Don't do anything with Rom Manager. That won't help.

yea it should work as they say but it does not. I tried changing permission using File expert,it click OK and then i check file permission on recovery right away, the write permission is not checked. even chmod 755 failed to change the write permission!

I don't think you have any problems with R/W. I just don't think the recovery file was overwritten. Look in /system/bin in File Expert. Do you see recovery and recovery.bin? Or just recovery?

/system/bin/recovery file exists and i have been trying to change its permission.

You don't need to change the permission of recovery. Copy the recovery file and navigate to /system/bin in file expert. When you get there you want to hit menu then more then mount. It will give you two options. Pick mount as read write. Then paste the recovery file.
Read through this thread again. It should help.

[Q] Permissions change was not successful (root explorer)

Hello Members
I'm kinda new to rooting, i just installed ics 4.0.4 rooted it and now im having problems changing permissions in root explorer. Im trying to install Talk_with_AV_no_wifi.zip. I'm following the instructions from this post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1390818. But its not working for me.
Any help would be appreciated.

just a guess but mayybe becuase it is in the i-777 forum, it could have diff, libs or something. idk if im right or not.

It worked fine when i had gingerbread. Since ive had ics been having issues with root explorer. I got passed moving the file from sd to system/app with help from other threads but when i try to change permissions in root explorer i get the message.

If its a mod from a different phone it probably won't work. I am on my phone and can't look right now.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 using Tapatalk 2

The mod isn't phone specific, it worked when i had gingerbread on the same phone.

Check Superuser SU for any errors. It may have denied permissions. If so, just click the button at the bottom to enable RootExplorer to make SU changes.

Please help me...!!!
when i m trying to chage the permission in root explorer its showing me...'Permissions change was not successful. Please note that some file systems(e.g SD Card) do not allow permission changes.'
plz tell me how to solv it...I have LG P698 mobile phone...its hv android 2.3.4

I've got root, SuperSU, and it won't let me change the files at all. I can't rename the files. Just says, "HotspotProvision.akp cannot be renamed because the file system is read-only". I can't find a permissions option. Do I need the pay version of Root Explorer?
What am I missing here?

The filesystem needs mounted as read write

The problem maybe with supersu binaries, delete these files through twrp or cwm recovery

system/xbin/ksud, ku.sud and su

Install Asus Keyboard on CM10

Hi guys, I wanted to ask you if someone can help me installing the Asus Keyboard app on my TF300T with CM10. I have the Keyboard.apk , but it gives an error when installing... Any help?

Did you have the odex files too? And you need to manual place into /system/app. Normall install will not work.

You will find the Asus Keyboard apk and odex file in the zip file
Just push it on /system/app

Ok, I'll try it later. Thanks!

It didn't work... Any ideas? :s

Describe? It didn't work.
After placing each file in /system/apps ( I always set permissions as well 644). Reboot. you went to settings/Language & Input, placed a check beside it/Clicked Default and selected it.
If you pushed it with adb permissions may be correct already.

It's the native keyboard from Asus with Odex file.
You have 2 solutions for push these files on your system, but you need root rights:
- 1st: by ADB
adb push XXX YYY : copy the file XXXX from your PC on to your system/app YYY of your phone
- 2nd: by an APK as Root explorer, Es File Explorer etc (with root rights)
just copy and paste thes 2 files to your SDcard and copy and paste again to the system/app folder.
After don't forget to reboot your device.
And finally you went to settings/Language and Input, placed a check beside it/Clicked Default and selected it.

I did the 2nd method right from the beginning - I even set permissions for the files. The problem is that the settings thing stops responding when I try to open it with the files inside system/apps ...

Just reboot when your copy/paste is done

No good... I did everything, copied the files to system/app with root explorer, rebooted, and the keyboard isn't even listed on the settings page...

OK I'll try to duplicate your issue and report back. Which cm10 rom are you using?
I chose cm10 nightlies and I can't get a proper install either, I'm looking into why.

I'm using the 09-11 nightly.

Thanks I am working on it.
I deodexed and that failed to show installed.
Made a flash zip and that failed to show installed.
Now I'm really curious.
I need to flash stock rom and play a little then come back to cm10.
I'll report when I have more info.
I can't make it work no matter what I try, I'm sorry. If I think of anything else I'll reply here.

Maybe they are some missing librares they are in /system/lib/ ? Check the logcat, it should what is missing.

Thanks I'm looking into that now. I'll reflash stock and try to get a better idea what might be missing. I see where it fails and why but haven't been able to relate that to a lib or config yet.
Thanks for the help!
When I do something like this I don't always get it fixed but I certainly learn new things as I go.
I'm not making any progress on this problem, sorry but I'm finished unless something else turns up soon.
Maybe someone else can lend a hand.

I will flash CM next days, as I already unlocked bootloader. Myabe I can find out what is missing, but try to add all the apks from this screen, it from stock.

[Q]

accidentally deleted system UI. on rooted tranformer tf700 4.2.1 I'm missing the status bars and home key etc... I assume I need to re-install the apk. Can someone post or send it to me... I would greatly appreciate it. I have a keyboard so I have limited functions... probably enough to get it installed.
thx!

OK in the attached zip you need to extract it to your sd and then copy the 2 files SystemUI.apk and SystemUI.odex into the /system/app folder and then set the permissions as 644 or rw-r--r--
Good luck!

You need to make sure you give esfile explorer root permissions. First turn on root explorer in tools on the left and then hit the word root explorer and set everything to RW - it'll work then.

I was able to get the files moved with ROM toolbox and get the permissions set but it will still not install? Any ideas?

You will need t reboot if you haven't already....
Other option is download the full rom from the ASUS website, unzip to the root of your internal sd and let that flash from stock recovery. You'll lose everything but it will get you back up.

Asus Day Scene 2.2.2

Hello,
I'm failing to install Asus Day Scene 2.2.2 on my Galaxy Note 10.1. Please help. it simple says "Application not installed"

Where did you find that app?. Installing it, supposed it is an .apk file:use a file explorer like Solid Explorer, go to system/app. Solid Explorer will give permissions for you. Just copy and paste. Reboot and try if it works
