Custom ROMs and Sprint Apps

I have a question, when custom ROMs are available and we flash them to our Hero does that mean we will lose the Sprint apps that came with our phone? If so is there a way to back them up and restore them on the new ROM? I am most concerned about the GPS app.

Can you just
adb pull /system/app/Sprint_Navigator.apk C:\
and then install that apk?

That would definitely work but there is no reason the apps should not be included. It's all up to the rom dev. But that would definitely work. That's how the Dream developers got the Sprint apps on the Dream.

This is what got Cyanogen in trouble and the C&D order. He was including Google licensed apps into his ROM.
Chances are custom ROM devs will not have the apps included for the same reasons.

That is true, however Sprint has done no such thing yet. My theory is do until you get caught

So, could i 'pull' the NFL app from my phone and email it to my friend with a G1 so he could use it too?

Little help?
Ok, so i have a Mac and everything seems to be working ok but when i do this:
96-26-56-112:tools brynehobbs$ ./adb pull /system/app/Sprint_NFL.apk desktop
1185 KB/s (288423 bytes in 0.237s)
96-26-56-112:tools brynehobbs$
There is nothing new on my desktop. I'm not too sure what the 'local' path should be though...

Im not quite sure how the folder structure is for Mac OS but since it is unix this command will work:
Code:
./adb pull /system/app/Sprint_NFL.apk .
The dot basically says extract it right here. You can then look in the directory where adb is located and the file should be there.

Yeah man. I was pretty psyched to have these apps (which personally, I like) on my Dream. The only complaint is the fantasy option in the NFL apk doesnt work on the Dream but then again, it currently does not work on my Hero so I dont know what gives there.

One small correction, it's "/system/app" (no plural s).
adb pull /system/app <wherever>

So i emailed my friend the Sprint_NFL.apk trough Gmail but when he tried to open it on his G1 he got: "there was a problem parsing the package"
Do i have to root his G1 and use adb to 'push' the file to the G1 for it to work properly?

Well it should work. I just checked the dream forum and the mods were forced to remove the links so you cant get them from there anymore either. I dont think root is necessary but maybe it is. I would try adb or make sure he has install apps from unknown sources checked in settings->applications.

Yeah he has it checked, but he is across town so i cant quite adb it right this second. Next time i see him i'll see it i can get it going for him. Thanks for all your help!

Thanks for everyone's input I successfully backup up all my apps. Just in case. It was interesting to see the size of each app.

Just incase no one has stumbled upon it yet...

perm root my 4g

I'm trying to perm root my mytouch 4g using Visionary
I have android 2.2.1 and have successfully temp rooted using Visionary
I download the root folder from HERE
I put them in the root of the SD card and open up Terminal Emulator and type in
su
cd /sdcard/root
sh root.sh
when I type the first line (su) I get the # and am told that Terminal Emulator has been granted superuser permissions.
when I type in the second line (cd /sdcard/root) I get this message
cd: can't cd to /sdcard/root
What could be causing this?
Thanks
Jonathan

The "cd" command is a "change directory" command, and there is no directory called "root" on your SD card, because either you haven't unzipped what you downloaded, or you unzipped it in the wrong place.
Unzipping what you downloaded creates a directory (or a "folder", if you're a Windows user) called "root" that has several files in it -- a kernel module and a script, if I remember correctly. The script loads the kernel module and makes a call to it in order to set S Off.

thank you much, I think I figured out the problem. I'll try again later and see what happens. I'll post back with the results later. Thanks again!
Jonathan
NOTE: Ok, I can now run through the
su
cd /sdcard/root
sh root.sh
commands but when it's done and I check for s-off I don't have it (I still have s-on)
I've tried this twice to no avail. any advise?

i am having the same problem. i've tried this method about 15 times, mostly with visionary r14, but also a couple times with r11. i have also tried the gfree method a couple times as well via the semi-automated method. no s=off!
i have a new MT4G direct from phone upgrade order. i've read of others who have rooted the MT4G before multiple times, but can't do it now with a new phone. i'm wondering if it's something HTC has changed with the newest releases.....

HTC was going to install a measure that would prevent "rage methods" from working on their phones. How ever, none of the tech blogs are reporting that this has been rolled out. So i doubt that is the case.
make sure the its set up as sdcard/root. If you've just extracted the folder and copied the extraction to the sdcard it's not set properly.

yes, i understand the root folder in the root of the sdcard, and not 2 root folders. (sdcard/root/root)
like i mentioned, i read posts from a couple people on here with the same problems with new mt4g's after having done it multiple times before with success.

nope you would start @ number 1.
you need to download those files and check the MD5SUM of every download load. the files need to be PERFECT for it to work correctly.
and i cannot stress enough. take your time and read directions. Read through the list a few times and make sure you have a good understanding of what you are doing. Doing that wrong can make your phone an expensive paper weight.
instead of pushing stuff to the "SDK tools folder" you store it to the ADB folder TrueBlue had you create in his walkthrough. And make sure to change your target folder to "c:\adb".
and remember you are choosing to do this. so if you screw it up. it's on your shoulders not mine.

The way this phone is made it's going to be pretty difficult to write a "one click s=off" program.
If you are wanting the benefits of being rooted you can always use VISIONary.apk when you need the root features like AD-HOC tethering or Screen Shots.

what i'd really like to do is remove some bloatware and demo games. (not just hide them) any way to do that aside from perm root?

not really. As soon as you reboot they'll pop right back up.

ok thanks.

Two things.
1. I've decided to put off perm rooting until I can understand adb and use it properly. No need to rush, I've got time.
2. Is it true that given time, effort, and ingenuity there really isn't such a thing as a bricked phone? It can always be recovered, it's just a question of how far you have to go to do it?
I've read around a lot and though I've heard many people talk of bricking their phone, it seems like many say that if you can use things like adb commands you can pretty well fix any issue, it's just difficult.
Like I was saying in point 1, I'm newer to all this and I'm learning so thanks for answering!

At minimum, I believe the phone requires a functioning bootloader in order to be able to connect via USB to fastboot.

Any update on this? I also just got a mytouch 4g yesterday and am trying to root it. Is it possible right now?

Root the mt4g
Friend, I used the adb method here on xda, after I got the forked childs msg, and restart terminal w/e, make sue to pull out battery. Restart, the LAST THING I DID WAS USE VISIONARY r14, to attempt permroot, took me a week before I figured out to try this, the guide said phone would be rooted after terminal commands went through. So, to recap if u entered everything correctly, (my avg protection was telling me my phone was rooted for a week after I pushed gfree using the adb method but had no s-off, tried visionary permroot, BINGO!) THANKS TO ALL THE HARD WORK/GUIDES ON XDA, using ICE GLACIER ROM, titanium backup, rom manager, root explorer, my internet security (ad free web) set cpu, cache cleaner ng, drocap, couldn't get barnacle to work, the tethering on board works fine. Quadrant standard for benchmarking.

My wifes mt4g arrived today, and I had it perm rooted, with s-off in about 20 minutes, following this guide from the wiki:

dude this method is great especially if your a noob or cant use adb for whatever reason just use visionary for temp root and then using root explorer move the gfree file to data>local then open terminal emulator and follow the instructions that gives you s-off and allows you to use visionary to permaroot when you reboot and then rommanager it now supports 3.xx so you can flash gingerroms just be careful and have fun

[Q] My half assed root.

[/FONT I thought of myself as a well seasoned vet when it came to rooting. I have had a G1 and a Mytouch 3g. Since I now have the Mytouch 4g I would like to root it completely. I have run Visionary and can have SU privileges, then cant boot into recovery. I then tried using my computer to root. Still nothing.. Any help? Thanks you!

Visionary is only part of the process. You need a couple more files and a working knowledge of abd and using terminal on your Mytouch 4G:
files:
wpx.ko
hboot_dhd.nb0
Visionary
A Terminal app (I use SUFBS)
Commands:
push the above two files to /data/local using ADB
adb push wpx.ko /data/local
adb push hboot_dhd.nb0 /data/local
run visionary and get temp root
Terminal:
Open up the terminal app and type in “su” to gain root access
Once the “#” appears, type in “insmod /data/local/wpx.ko” and hit Enter. You should get a “function not implemented error,” which is what you want.
This next terminal command will turn your device into a nice paperweight if you mess it up. If you do mess it up, don’t blame me, this all on you!
dd if=/data/local/hboot_dhd.nb0 of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p18 and hit Enter.
Close the terminal app, now open up visionary again. Run temp root again. You might get the “device already rooted” notification, this does not matter, what you are doing is locking in root.
Go back and open up your terminal emulator once more time and request root by typing “su”
Once you get the #, type “sync” wait about three minutes and reboot.
You should have permanent root with the security off (S-off), to check : With the phone off, hold down volume down and power to open Hboot. The top line of the screen should have “S-off” at the end.

I wanna try this step soooo bad but i'm scared ****less I brick my fone. Considering I only got it for just 2 days now.
I did the terminal process with terminal emulator 4 times & whenever I bash the root.sh file, the wpx.ko gives me trouble. Did it this morning @ 4am so I cant quite remember the exact statement it came back with

That means that the adb binary isn't in the folder you are working from. Either the binary is missing, our you are in the wrong folder with you command prompt.

I got the wpx error, which is why I searched a bit more, and then used the method I posted earlier...
To help with the cmd prompt, down load this file, and place it in the same folder that the adb binary is in (it's a file, named adb). Double click this file, and it silk open a prompt in that folder...

Phone won't finish boot process, need urgent help

Alright so looks like I did something completely stupid and now my phone won't finish the boot process. I was looking at some remappings for the recent key to the menu option and from a post in the development section I found a thread in the International One X development forum that had re-odexed files so that the recent key stayed as the recent key and holding the home button became the menu key. Since they were re-odexed and I had root access I figured I would just manually replace them on my phone with Root Explorer...bad idea. The files were:
System/Framework/android.policy.odex
System/Usr/keylayout/qwerty.kl
After I moved them and reset permissions I rebooted my phone and now it goes through the first couple of boot animations but gets stuck on screen that displays beats audio at the bottom.
I really need to know what to do to fix this. When I plug my phone into my computer it recognizes it as a new \drive, but I don't have access to any of it (still says I need to mount). I also have the android SDk and adb installed if thats of any help. I would really like to not lose any data so hopefully thats possible.
Please help me with this if you have any knowledge of what to do.

Just one little quick update. Even though my computer won't let me access my One X as a drive, when I use command prompt and adb to check for adb devices my One X is listed.

Alright I'm downloading that now.
In the meantime, how do I get root access with adb/give it permission to overwrite read only files? I pulled the two files that caused this messed and pulled my backups, but when I push them back to the phone it tells me I can't because their read only. I'd rather do it this way since I will be changing only the files that caused the problem.
EDIT: Is the RUU really going to delete all the information on my device? If thats the case I would really appreciate figuring out how to get adb to push my backuped files to the /system directory instead

Yeah, the RUU returns your phone to factory (but doesn't touch your personal files)
EDIT: Also, just pulling this off the top of my head so take it with a grain of salt...
adb devices
adb shell
su
*grant the su request on your device*
adb push <from> <to>

Thanks for your comment. I used the RUU and it kept my personal data so its not a big lose. Had to reinstall a few apps, but for most of them (games at least) my saved data was still there.
I tried a lot using adb and just couldn't get it to work. I don't the phone got far enough through the boot process for root access to be allowed. I was able to run the one click root tool while it was in its stuck boot phase, but it still wouldn't give me permission to modify the /system portion of the phone to be read/write.
All in all though this was a great learning experience. Prior to this happening I knew nothing about adb and now I know commands for pulling, pushing, remounting, shell commands, and other things. I also learned how to fix a softbrick (first one) and what RUU is.

Question What is this magisk module and why can't delete it ? [SOLVED]

Hi everyone.
I don't know why i have this "module". Only install the other one and nothing more.
I try to delete it then restart phone but it doesn't go away.
Not a problem, just aesthetic

That's weird....
If you are bothered and you don't mind re-installing/re-flashing all your modules again, you could try the adb command
Code:
adb wait-for-device shell magisk --remove-modules
and that should remove all your modules including that unknown weird one.
Also, if for whatever reason that doesn't work, I read somewhere that Magisk has its data folder outside of the internal storage folder and is more in the root data folder -- so if one wiped their phone, all the Magisk data (deny list i imagine, on top of modules) would still survive -- and you might consider finding and deleting that folder and reinstall/re-flash Magisk. CAUTION: I imagine this has a chance of bringing up some glitches or bugs (incompatibilities) when the app connects-to/works-in-conjuction-with the patched init_boot.
If you are still sure you wish to do that, I believe I found the folder which I put in spoilers below...
Spoiler: Magisk root folder
root: /data/adb
These are just a couple of ideas...hope it helps...

Thx for your help !
The adb command works.

sorry for the very late reply...been a busy couple of weeks and am only catching up on things now...I'm fairly positive you figured it out already, but in case you haven't and/or any other person reading this looking for the answer...
I've never used the line before, but as I understand it, after turning off your phone and before connecting your phone to the computer, open up the cmd and run the command when you've changed the directory to the platform-tools folder. I believe the "wait-for-device" part has it running but on standby to activate once you plug your phone to the computer and it powers on (and tries to load up)...
I imagine once it does, it'll run the command and is executed before it goes any further loading up the module that is causing the issue/bootloop...
Hopefully I am correct and this helps...

in fact I had already applied that line and it didn't work either in fastboot or in ell recovery. It worked for me, to my surprise, with the phone on. all modules were deleted

What version of Magisk are you using, and where did you download it from?
