Thought this was pretty cool, run Fastboot on your s4 to unlock or flash other devices. All I did was drop the fastbootarm file into /system/xbin, changed permissions to 755 (rwx r-x r-x) and boom thats it. Connect other devices to your s4 via OTG cable, put them in download/fastboot/bootloader mode, open up a terminal window, root up (su), run fastboot commands just like on your pc!! I was able to flash files to my Nexus 7 (2013) from my s4 with no problems.
That is pretty cool. What will they think of next.... Maybe theses things can play Angry Birds too.... Lmao. Cool find !

Do you mean it can't find the files on your computer? Easiest fix is to copy all files in every subdirectory of the ZIP archive into one folder and run the adb commands from there.
My cmd is c:/users/(nam

E)/ and I put the kernels system files there and adb pushed the file name and location and it still didn't work

does your cmd window look anything like the attached file?
put single qoutes around your C:\ path like this 'C:\path\to\kernel\file'
When starting to type out a file name in the command prompt, pressing the TAB key will try to fill in the title. It ensures that you've got quotes around everything too if needed.
Like if I wanted to list the C:\Program Files folder, I'd type "dir C:\progr" and hit tab after going that far. It'll fill in what it can. Just keep typing to help it along as you press tab.
I copied and pasted what the instructions said about the kernel my CMD directory isn't c temp its c users (computer name)

OK, let's try it this way. I packed you all the files of the Tiamat 1.3.1 into an archive that does not create subdirectories. Please follow the steps below:
connect the Xoom
create a directory on C: called "temp"
extract all files from the archive found here to c:\temp\
Start cmd (command prompt)
Simply copy and paste the next steps, line by line:
Code:
cd C:\temp\
adb shell
mkdir /data/media/sdcard2
exit
adb reboot bootloader
(wait until Motorola logo shows)
Code:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot reboot
(wait for reboot)
Code:
adb remount
adb push bcm4329.ko /system/lib/modules/bcm4329.ko
adb push tun.ko /system/lib/modules/tun.ko
adb push scsi_wait_scan.ko /system/lib/modules/scsi_wait_scan.ko
adb push cifs.ko /system/lib/modules/cifs.ko
adb push vold.fstab /system/etc/vold.fstab
adb reboot
Please let me know if that works for ya!
Never mind root my xoom got updated with the latest tiamat kernel with SD card support thanks anyways

I have a Non-Retail VERY early IMEI "Smartmock" that has an hboot with the topline saying this
"PYRAMID PVT MFG RH"
HBoot version is 1.19.1000
Phone is a non-complete model, does not have a camera, functional touch panel (MIssing firmware, I'm sure I could get it working. ) or speakers/microphones
Just figured i'd offer the hboot up on a platter incase anyone wanted it, seeing as it's been a real fight for you guys.
IMEI is listed as 355195000000010 (Yeah, that pre-release. )
Let me know if it's useful in any way shape or form. (I'd ship the phone to someone awesome, but it's not mine to give, I do however have ample time to rip files from this well crafted fake )
dump everything ill take a look
How did you get it? Maybe ship to a experienced dev.

It's a smartmock, intended to be used for displaying the phone without putting a 600 dollar asset at risk (It's literally the entire phone, except vibe motor, earphone, simcard slot (modem is intact and has firmware) and microphones. (Blank solder points for all above. )
1. Download adb zip (http://www.mediafire.com/?5d0v316g9bg97) and extract to c:\
2. Launch Windows console (cmd) and go to the adb folder cd c:\adb
3. "adb devices" <- Is your device detected? If not, install HTC Sync // Of course, before you have to plug your device in.. (sync mode)
4. "adb push busybox /data/local/busybox
5. "adb shell"
6. "cd /sdcard/"
7. "chmod 755 /data/local/busybox" (something like that)
8. "/data/local/busybox tar cvf dump.tar /system"
10 when it's finished, you will have a normal error like 'tar: error exit delayed from previous errors'.
11. Finally check the root of your SD card, you will find a dump.tar file
12. Upload to multiupload and post link or pm it to me
what update format is it in?
EDIT: nevermind, seen the post above

Do you have a way we can IM? I've got it half working but this damn demo loop keeps killing shell.
Could something like this actually hold the key? Thanks a lot for your consideration of our locked S4Gs

Anything for you guys. I love this place, ever since I used it to upgrade my friend HTC S621 from winmo 5 to 6.1, and root and romming for my dream <3
Got a little cred under my belt with the Galaxy S and telus, and I figure, it never hurts to help.
How did you get it?
So many threads on getting s-off and a lot of them have potential. Very thankful for everybody doing this. Wish I had a way to help. Can't wait to root this beast

Dumping now. ADB and fastboot are like riding a bike, just needed a wee refresher course, hope its useful!
Is it possible if you can post pictures of the device? I really want to see how this looks like.

You could upload it if you get a minute. I have seen that floating around before and wouldn't mind checking it out myself but I think it may just be an HTC version of "dev tools" so to speak.
So I changed the DPI to 400 in build.prop via Root Explorer. Now I get the google screen but when it's supposed go to the "decrypt" phone screen it's just black.
I can get into Recovery, can I use ADB to pull/push a new build.prop?
Yes. Well needs to match what you had before
Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk
Is there a guide somewhere for ADB? I haven't had to used it in a few years.
Boot into recovery.
Code:
adb shell mount /system
adb pull /system/build.prop
Edit the file with a Unix compatible editor like notepad++ (not notepad)
Change the DPI back to normal and save
Code:
adb push build.prop /system/
adb shell chmod 644 /system/build.prop
Reboot and all should be well

your 2 biggest fixable problems in life.
glad you got it sorted.
Well let me first off say i'm feeling really dumb atm.
Just bought my wife the new m8 , I've already s-offd and perm rooted mine but for some reason im having trouble getting the commands to work for hers .
im using a mac btw but like ive said i did successfully do this on this exact setup
adb reboot <–important!!!!
adb wait-for-device push firewater /data/local/tmp <<<<<<<<
adb shell
su
chmod 755 /data/local/tmp/firewater
/data/local/tmp/firewater
do i actually put the data local tmp part in or am i supposed to be putting in my local directory where i have the file on my computer
when i adb devices , i can see my device, so it is connected
in adb when i " adb reboot" it does reboot my phone
but when i try to push the firewater file it does not push , i get this
cannot stat 'firewater': No such file or directory
firewater file is in my adb folder on my desktop and its the right size etc etc .
thanks in advance if anyone can tell me what im doing wrong!!!!

Hmm. Are you copy pasting the messages? Make sure you don't have any spaces in wrong places. Maybe try a factory reset on said device. Just confirming firewater and adb are in the same directory?

Click on weaksauce to make sure it is still working and you may have to click on a prompt and then try ADB again after that.
Figured out what it was at about 12 midnight, I had to add in the directory then put the data/local/ tmp/ etc after that.
So problem is all solved thank god was justa long night of trying commands
where you add the directory?
