[Q] Toshiba AC100, market, unable to push files with adb

Hi I have to following problem and can't find the answer with google.
I have routed my AC100.
Code:
sudo adb shell
$
su
#
so I believe the AC100 is rooted
next
Code:
#mount
/dev/block/mmcblk3p1 /system ext2 ro,relatime 0 0
therefore I did
Code:
mount -o remount,rw -t ext2 /dev/block/mmcblk3p1 /system
mount
/dev/block/mmcblk3p1 /system ext2 rw,relatime 0 0
so I think the disk has been successfully re-mounted in re-write mode.
however whenever I do something like
Code:
sudo ./adb pish com.google.android.maps.xml /system/etc/permissions
I get
Permission denied
I would be grateful if someone could point me in the right directions.
Many thanks
Frank

[Q] MTK6573 2.3.6 root?

MTK6573 2.3.6 root?
Hello, I have a HDC X19i based on MTK6573. I received it yesterday. Fantastic phone, but I consider that the apps memory is too low. Anyway, I've tried to root the device and it's no possible (for me at least), I tried everithing and I get the same messages with superoneclick. It has 2.3.6. It stops in the 7th step. And any other program will fail. I tried everithing.
It can't remount the system, and I tried using adb commands to remount..."operation not permitted". My adb installation is with the path and I'm sure it works fine. The drivers for the android adb phone are ok.
I'm stuck
Hope some solution.

Tried enabling usb debug?
If everything fails could you sent me your firmware so that I can make a pre-rooted firmware

@seahorsepip : you ask for whiskyconorujo or for me ?
I 'm enabled usb debug and when i 'm waiting for step 7, i'm tried to disabled/enabled usb debug

Hi Wolfseal,
was it possible to root your Dapeng A7 now ? How you did it ?

Root OK
Hi,
Yes it's possible.
I know 3-4 guys who i've got it and now me too.
I think it's a problem with the driver.
I've done a virtual windows XP without antivirus and just driver, .net framework 2.0 ans superoneclick 2.2 and after 2 try i win !!!
I've disabled/enabled usb debug too.
I don't the realy cause.

At which point turning usb-debug on or off ? Or only playing around ? You think the on-off-debug-mode was not the cause for your success ?

I don't know the really cause.
I've disabled debug, unplug usb, enable debug and plug usb.

Hi, for root dapeng A7 you need a russian recovery modded and a file unroot2.signed. install recovery with flashtool, disabled verification of signature and install the zip. Sorry now i no have a link but you can find it in other my post, im on train now.
I have anothers MTK6573 PHONE, zoho WG1103 and zoho A1103 and i no be able to have root in any mode.
For made a modded recovery ot system with root, what you need? I have only backup of system no zipped... withot root i cannot have a full backup... or yes?
Sorry for my english

Hello,
Has anyone tried this?
http://ciphone.fr/blog/blog1.php/rooter-son-gsm-chinois-android
But downloading the SuperOneClick from xda (ShortFuse) since the one there has a virus.
Thank you

root i9220/a9220 or the same type with original rom / firmware (without flashing)
To root this phone with originial rom / firmware you can follow this instruction in website tokomuhe*com/treq-a10-pocket-2.html#comment-502 ( replace * with . )
if there are any questions please contact me directly on my Whatsapp +6285733298222
Regards,
Sabillio

Same problem here, I have a x20i mtk6573 phone with gingerbread 2.3.6, and cannot root any way. Can someone help?

BOOT img
With SuperOneClick is possible only if you have a modified boot.img. With alcatel OT985 with MTK6573 and GB 2.3.6 you can use this boot.img but I couldn't know if it'll work with your devices. I f you wanna try, first make a dump of your ROM to get the IMG file from your original ROM.
Once you have your ROM backup you'll need to flash the boot.img with SP Flash Tool. Now you can use SuperOneClick, with my phone "psneuter" exploit works like a charm.

[Q] RESOLVED cannot mount sdcard or usb_lun0 have full adb/fastboot

htc one s tmobile us
I have bootloader and fastboot unlocked
I have recovery (official cwr touch) and adb functionality
I have ROM and adb functionality
Its the first build of cm9 without 1. sdcard mount 2. USB_lun0 3 mobile access or 4 wifi. I know... pretty ****ty place to be. But it is what it is
I've been trying to 1 create symlink between system and sdcard and then mount it.... so I can push a ROM to it and then flash it...or so I can push my backup file back in it and then mount with clockwork and restore... I even tried pushing a modaco ROM to /data/ and then try "recovery --update_image /data/mod.zip" but of course cwr isn't amon-ra and will not allow for flashing from anyplace but sdcard
I can write **** to sdcard....I just cannot get it mounted in recovery or Usb .I wiped my sdcard from fastboot "clear storage" and have tried many things. But that's irrelevant because do have my original Nannie saved to my computer...
I can write/push/files to sdcard... I just cant get the phone to see it.
I need help to 1 access sdcard and boot a normal ROM or 2 fastboot a Nannie back in but that's not possible without plain .img files or 2 somehow boot a ROM from a partition I can see...
I've tried many many things. I can remount it gives me rw when I remount... but the phone or the computer cannot see this...yet.
I even tried RUUing the euro version and of course that failed. I just need to flash a different ROM and the trick is getting the phone or recovery to mount sdcard.

maybe you should use code tags in the future to distinguish it from normal text. your post is a little bit confusing because of it's length ...
now to your issue:
boot into cwr
select "mounts and storage" -> "mount /sdcard"
now you can push files to /sdcard/
adb push rom.zip /sdcard/

I get Error to mount sdcard when I try to get CWR to get a file off sdcard
and when I try to mount usb -
Error - no ums_lunfile found
Sorry for being so verbose and wordy, the problem is simple, cant mount, cant get to usb.
Trying to create symlink but I dont see a vold file in here... so I am trying to make one...

this blows -----
only thing left for me to do is wait for RUU or find a boot.img and a system.img to fastboot in.
is there anyway to convert the cwr ext4 backups into .img's?
or is there definitely NO way to flash a ROM from /data/ or other partition in clockwork? any other recoveries for the htc one s? amon?
this blows!! if I can find a usable vold.fstab to use or some way to mount sdcard in recovery I would be all set!! but theres no way to mount sdcard or even ums_lunfile.
Will have to either figure something out but I would appreciate direction. thanks.
im on gtalk at joshcues

Can you boot into the os? If you can have you tried automount from the market. No experience with a phone with no external sdcard yet so i don't know if that will help at all tbh. My wife just got one so i guess I'll be learning now

automount just saves you a couple steps when you plug the device into the computer -- so you dont have to enable usb mount..although i am now trying a bunch of apps.
Yes I can boot into OS -- ive been trying different vold files... no luck so far. I can install any app I want, Ive been using stericsons Remount and Android Root Toolkit Beta https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=sa.root.toolkit&feature=search_result to quickly remount rootfs as rw... but it never sticks -- still, they are helpful... at least i have full adb control and am able to play with droid explorer because i am all adb'ed out for now.
if only I could at least enable wifi or get the radio going.. i would be fine with the phone without a sdcard... its kind of funny... but yes i can boot into OS, but

did you try to make a link from /sdcard to /data/sdcard/?
mkdir /data/sdcard
ln -s /data/sdcard/ /sdcard/
if that does not work it would be interresting to know what your friend did to the device. have you tried to manually mount the sdcard?

[URL="http://pastebin.com/UMtJK88h"][URL="http://pastebin.com/xBH4Wge3"]http://pastebin.com/YUsCQsrf[/URL][/URL]
Ive got data/sdcard symlink set up and mounted. But recovery cannot flash or restore from data/sdcard. The first time I had the regular mnt/sdcard that I restored from.... but this time I cannot find mnt/sdcard.
Made link to /system/sdcard but cant make it pop up in recovery...
All thats left for me is to find either the fresh rom waiting to be flashed OR the two backups waiting to be restored that reside on sdcard. So, the last thing to do is to get sdcard to freaking pop up in clockwork recovery.
i got somewhere... but not quite at the finish line. Any suggestions? do I need to rebuild the sdcard file system from scratch? Will check back sometime this week... but golly...

I am now able to see sdcard from the phone using file manager and adb -- there is a /data/sdcard/ now that is read write and has a nandroid waiting for me as well as a fresh modaco.zip rom
However I still cannot mount sdcard manually and when I get to recovery it is looking for sdcard in /mnt/sdcard/ not /data/sdcard/

how would you do that? can I create a link using adb? I'm in the same situation except that I formatted my system folder because I had no idea mounting wouldn't work (I"m coming from a different phone).
Thanks in advance.

I tried to create a link using
Code:
adb shell
ln -s /data/sdcard /sdcard
no luck. any other idea?

jodue - I can (and have) link I can see sdcard file (with a modaco rom zip waiting on it, as well as clockwork/backup/2012-5-1xxxx) from the following links -
/data/sdcard
/system/sdcard
i sometimes have them written as mnt/sdcard but they never survive a boot.
I unable to mount sdcard in recovery using either or both of those links
I do not (yet) know how to manually add a ums_lunfile to a ROM that does not yet have it incorporated.
I have played with the permissions, looking at my other devices and seeing how other versions of ROMs have different permissions on the same app I am missing a vital switch that will allow Clockworkmod to see the sdcard. The phone may not be seeing the sdcard but it is definitely there, but cant I try to create a link between the Recovery and the sdcard?
I have messed with the vold.fstab and build.prop files in many many different ways (always restoring to default files after each attempt)
I do not (yet) know how to enable wifi on a ROM that does not yet have it incorporated.
I do not (yet) know how to enable bluetooth on ROM that does not yet have it incorporated.
I do not (yet) know how to enable the mobile connection on a ROM that does not yet have it incorporated.
So either I am going to figure out the top three items, or I am going to figure out how to mount my sdcard or have Clockworkmod recognize my SDcard so it can simply 1. restore back to normal or 2. flash a proper zip file.
It is like this phone is on perpetual vacation unless a number of things happen.... kind of funny...Id really like to fix it before the RUU comes out because once it does.. thatll be a lot of searching (Im now trying the Bing search engine because Google didnt find the answer) for nothing!

did you mount and as root?

it's probably the best and simplest solution for you guys to reflash with a stock RUU. i am sure that it's possible to restore a backup from the state you are in however it's hard without actually having the device in front of me ^^
good luck!

bored of waiting for ruu -- another effort
allrighty just logging some more efforts to my morbid problem - the goal was to boot into recovery and then mount..
mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p36 (36 wasnt there, tonight it was mmcblk0p34) /sdcard
or
mount -o bind /data /sdcard
i was able to make both succeed (in recovery) but clockwork did not agree, so thus unable to mount sdcard in recovery so I could restore or flash a proper rom.
I then tried flashing diff recoveries... to eliminate the off chance that it was a problem with particular cwm builds... i flashed stock recovery and then tried to make it flash rom from "internal" storage but of course HTC has that stock recovery looking for very specific files... so my "update.zip" went nowhere (pushed to both /data and /system as im not surre where it flashes from....
then i tried the modaco unofficial cwm nontouch recovery -- that did not want to mount...
then i tried the official cwm nontouch 5831 recovery (the touch recoveries take up space and I cant see the logfile in those)
i think i got somewhere with the mounting in recovery -- i wasted too much time trying to mount in runtime (upon boot) --
next ideas or where shall I go from here? Im not done by any means... anyone happen to know exactly what file the STOCK recovery is looking for when it tries to "flash update from internal storage"
any ideas, i will try. Heres a bunch of pastebins...http://pastebin.com/eTJuJuy9 and http://pastebin.com/0vUdaLvB and http://pastebin.com/qUSJMLpn and http://pastebin.com/fGkHzgbw and i am going to try some more on my windoze 8 system at home because the usb twatholes on this machine are pretty much unreliable.
steps -- I could find out if my mounting and binding needs more followup, I could find a system.img to fastboot I could find a way to flash from /data I could find a way to freaking mount another external drive I could pray like crazy that AmonRa gets a HTC One S and puts his flashable-from-anyplace-other-than-sdcard awesomeness on it....but thats about as crazy as the thought of a HTC guy dropping in here and asking me if I would mind testing his RUU.
cheers and thanks for whatever ideas you have no matter how crazy they sound. Waiting for a RUU is about as much fun as waiting for water to boil.

this is resolved.
lesson to be learned -- flashing an alpha build of a "work in progress" rom without the ability or proper OS to create your own .img files is going to 1. break things 2. cause silly threads like this, 3. force you to learn a lot more about android file systems and 4. wait for a RUU that may never come
xkonni was so kind to make me an updated system.img and accompanying boot.img from which I flashed through fastboot and then that was that.
htc sense makes no sense... but it makes no sense to recklessly flash files without reading the thread itself!! although I am just overjoyed I dont have to see sense again!

hey,
i have the identical problem and i am trying hard to solve this. but till now, i wasnt´t successfull. Is it possible that i use the files? It seems worth a try.
thx
---------- Post added at 11:44 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:13 PM ----------
i now see that it is impossible to resore any nandroid backup in recovery, because CW doesnt find the sd-card, mounting and usb mounting doesnt´t work,too.
but the crazy thing is: after formating the sd-card i have access in windows but still not in recovery

So, let me get this straight --
You had this same issue -- could not get clockwork to see sdcard much less mount it or access sdcard?
When you were in Android you could not see sdcard or system would not see sdcard?
When you were in ADB you could see sdcard and mount it but it would never stay mounted? Did you try #mount -o bind? did you try to create link to sdcard? (of course did you mount as read/write first?) If so, let me know
You PM'd me and told me about a successful RUU you found that solved it... thats great -- but do you know why trhe problem happened in the first place?
The first time.. it was probably because I flashed a total alpha rom and shouldnt have...
but now.. it happened after I was already established..
I dont know why it happened.... I just know how to get out of it. Last night I got the flash itch and wanted to see what MIUI was up to and once again I ventured out into miui and once again I got bit hard. All of a sudden (I may have accidentially erased sdcard from one of those settings or wiped it) I could not see sdcard.... so i boot into clockwork and lo and behold.. clockwork was up to its old tricks of "cant mount sdcard!!!" and "no umslun0file!!!!" so I was like wow, whats going on?
I want to know WHY this is happening... the "fix" is there, but i dont know why this is happening.
Two things -- 1. This kind of problem has existed but most devices have removable sdcards. so its easy to give up and get a new sdcard.. etc... (problem doesnt get solved it gets trashed) but now... this problem needs to be resolved.. is there a defect? if so.. then how can we resolve these defects without having to replace the entire phone?

partitioning
yesterday... while in CM9... I decided that I wanted to try a repartition. So i pull all files from sdcard onto my desktop. Then I tried to format sdcard with Windows 8. Bizarre thing -- the computer could mount sdcard and all.. but then I got an error when I tried to do a simple format with Windows it wouldnt do it... I shrugged and booted into recovery and had clockwork do the partition...
i set my partition limits and then it proceeded to partition.. but it was "finished partitioning" less than 2 seconds later. I thought that was odd it should take at least a few moments. So maybe Clockwork could not partition or it did not? I dont know yet.
What benefit do phones with built in solid state drives or nonremovable sdcards have? Whats the point? I never had an issue with any of the dozens of sdcards -- some failed, but i simply got a new one or fixed it.

[Q] SuperOneClick - freezing at step 7!

I have a Samsung Galaxy S2 Skyrocket from AT&T running GB 2.3.6. I'm trying to root (via any means necessary) and have had errors or issues with several methods.
I'm trying SuperOneClick (because, why not?) and all looks good until Step 7, and I get Waiting for Device. I've tried several of the workarounds, including turning off debugging and back on when S1C starts the ADB, and having my SD card unmounted as well as removed completely. All to no avail.
Help! I tried a few other methods, and either got blocked at a step by a bad download link for what was described as an important download, or another failure, but let's see if we can get through this Step 7 thing...
Thanks.

if all methods failed, its usb cable, usb port, try another computer, bad downloads, did u try this method http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1340526 , the easiest in my opinion, if that failed then for sure its one of the problems above

SU.zip bad link...
I couldn't get the mediafire.com link to work to download superuser.zip files in that method. I got Odin installed and was ready to go that route...
Thanks for the reply. I think i'll try another USB port. THat is a possible fail.

Download bexboot.v2.GRK39F_OTA.zip, create a new folder on your computer and extract the Bexboot zip archive into that folder.
Connect your device via USB to your computer.
Put your device in USB debugging mode (Settings > Applications > Development > USB Debugging).
Put your device in bootloader mode. Therefore open a terminal, cd to the directory where you extracted the files to and type:
Windows
adb-windows reboot bootloader
Mac
adb-mac reboot bootloader
Linux
adb-linux reboot bootloader
In bootloader mode, type in the terminal:
Windows
fastboot-windows flash boot bexboot.v2.img followed by
fastboot-windows reboot
Mac
fastboot-mac flash boot bexboot.v2.img followed by
fastboot-mac reboot
Linux
fastboot-linux flash boot bexboot.v2.img followed by
fastboot-linux reboot
