Stock rooted boots but WiFi appears to be broken. This was with a clean install. I will try stock debloated either tonight or tomorrow.

I forgot to ask on PM. Did you try forget and try your WiFi connection again? Like I said might be kernel related or system/etc/wifi files.
Root access / 3G/4G LTE work?

Can someone pull a logcat while trying to connect to WiFi.

I'm sorry but I already went back to stock. I did try the forget Wi-Fi password trick but still didn't help.
The limited time I was using it everything checked out good...root, 3g, 4g(very spotty for me, but it did connect).
My data is very limited so Wi-Fi is important for me. I will try the debloated tomorrow though. Do you think it will have the same Wi-Fi issue? If so, I will grab a logcat if no one else gets to it before me. I'm going to have to wait until tomorrow afternoon unfortunately though.

@VerneVerne sounds good. It might have the same issues.....also see if you can pull /cache/recovery/last_log after you flash the ROM. That can give me some insight on if I messed up the updater-script. (Invalid arguments)

Ahhh, you say updater script. Come to think of it there was something mentioned of a script being outdated and needing to be updated while flashing the rom. I'll be sure to find out what that says exactly when I can get back to testing later.

I need a new update-binary. It is legacy but still should work. Philz switches to a legacy environment for compatibility..... That a huge plus with using philz recovery.
Its outdated because it uses set_perm command. Newer binaries use set_metadata (for selinux support). I might have too cook up a newer script with a newer binary.

Huge thanks to @moonbutt74 - it was an updater-script issue. I missed a symlink command. I added that in and WiFi should work now. Just need the stock kernel pulled from the T237P if someone would be so kind.
Code:
su
dd if=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/boot of=/sdcard/boot.img
and send me the kernel img....please.
if not - drop /msm_sdcc.1/by-name/boot and use the mmcblk0p(xx) use xx as the block number

Guys check your PM. I uploaded a fixed version to you guys for testing. If all is well, this thread can be moved to the Dev section and public download links.
Everyone else following this thread, please thank the testers above, without them there wouldn't be a ROM. :highfive::good:

Thank you! I was about to throw this thing in my box of shame next to my gtab2 ;p

Download links available for public release.
Just need someone to confirm init.d is working correctly.?
After that we can call this stable and move this thread to the Dev section.

Good to hear that we have recovery and custom rom for T237P!
I flash recovery, and download firmware now.

Rooted yesterday so far so good... Just need that free Hotspot going.

There are a few 3rd party apps that will do the job in the mean time.

Sprint Stock Rom with A2SD Support

This is the latest Sprint Rom based on the latest RUU leak with A2SD support (I used Darktremor A2SD 2.7 since it was easy to add it).
I have verified that A2SD is working as I downloaded and installed a couple of programs from the market. The programs are being stored in /system/sd/app.
Here's the link: http://www.darktremor.info/files/2.1/2.1-ruu-a2sd-signed.ziphttp://www.darktremor.info/files/2.1/sprintstock-21-a2sd-b-signed.zip
This one now has adb rooted (thanks to nfinitefx45 for his assistance) and does flash (heard complaints on the symlink issue...never sure what causes that, but ended up starting over and porting the files from the previous build).
This is for those people who want to keep with the stock installation but want the addition of A2SD. If you want a customized look, faster performance and A2SD support, I suggest a custom rom. Fresh 2.1.2 or FreshToast is a good one to use.
Note: It will not affect recovery.
Enjoy and I'll answer any questions you may have (if I can answer them).
did you manually edit the init.rc? and you should mention that this is a ROM, not an RUU

This is definitely an RUU as when I go into adb shell, I get the dollar sign as a prompt rather than the pound sign...I'm pretty certain it is not rooted.

Good point about the Rom vs RUU. Edited to correct.
As for the init.rc. Mainly it was init.rc edit.

Don't look at me...that's what I'm getting. Doesn't make much sense to me, either. I just know if I do adb shell, I don't have root access. But A2SD works fine.
I went ahead and released it since the goal was to get A2SD working...and I did that. Everything else is for a Rom developer.

Well I flashed it and stuck on the HTC screen. Flashed the non deodexed version and loads fine.
So apparently i f***ed up deodexing lol. I guess that ROM that I did wont work..
well just loving this rom, but one question, can we get a updated boot.img with the adb enabled for access as root?
Now that the A2SD stuff is behind me, I'll take a look at that. Flipzmode or Toastcfh may be able to shed some light on how you get this image rooted correctly, especially Flipz since he's using the latest leak for Fresh 2.1.1.
The original goal was to get A2SD working on a stock rom, which I did....but it is rather annoying that it isn't rooted (or fully rooted).
Damage said in his point that it was rooted, but I got the same thing you did...no root when doing adb.
I'll talk to Flipz or Toast and see if they can point me in a direction to go.

well this is a piece from some of the reading I've been doing I beleice this needs to be done with in the boot image. I dont know if this will help in your research,
-------------------------
You also need to modify the ROM update script to change the default permissions for /system/bin/su so it can be used to elevate privileges to root. The script is in $WKD/dst/META-INF/com/google/android/update-script. Open it in your favorite editor and find the line starting with set_perm 0 2000 0550 SYSTEM:etc/init.goldfish.sh and after it add the following set_perm 0 0 04755 SYSTEM:bin/su
=======================
Hi tkirton,
Nice job on this and thanks for all your hard work on everything! I am also wondering what dedoxed means? Is it like where application data is also stored on the SD card instead of on the phone itself?
Thanks!

Getting update.zip with test key working on froyo

Hi guys, it just came to my mind that test-key signed update.zip files were working back in the eclair days, so i guess the problem is the new recovery in the froyo builds needing Samsung signed files. Same problem was present on the sgs when it moved to froyo, but the devs there managed to change back to old recovery to make them work again, would be nice if someone could find a similar solution for the sg3 also... for more info search for recovery 2e 3e howto in sgs dev section... i am very busy at the moment and go for vacation on Sunday so wont find time to look into this before beginning of March, but eventually someone else could do it and just needed the hint....
Ok, to give this a bump, i need someone with a eclair rom installed and a rooted system. What i need is two files: /sbin/recovery and /sbin/recovery.sh
I think if we swap those files in jpf or whatever Froyo version we could use update.zip files again...
FadeFx
I have JK1 but in sbin directory I have only recovery file, no signs of recovery.sh
sorry, my bad, recovery.sh is part of the modified clockwork mod recovery on sgs custom kernel. also i am in conversation with hardcore about this, and eventually wed have to change the file in initramfs of the kernel... but we will see. to bad i go on vacation tomorrow and will be away for 3 weeks (going to thailand, cant wait to be there...) so i wont have time to complete this, but i will gather info and eventually gsam101 could compile a zimage with old recovery...
Ok, here is my pm conversation with hardcore, seems it can be done easily with loosing new recovery, or the complicated way keeping new recovery for system calls (CSC changes and stuff) and loading old recovery when using 3 button combo. All this is done by recovery.sh
hardcore said:
No u replace /system/bin/recovery in the rom, not kernel.
For kernel if u want to reroute to another recovery u have to use some shell script logic. Check out the initramfs source of my kernel for recovery.sh.
ok, thanx... so we would have to change the file /system/bin/recovery in the zimage´s initramfs to exchange recovery, right?
can we also put the replacement recovery into /sbin to replace the original? and if how is it then called when actually entering recovery mode so we dont enter the old recovery?
thanx Gerd
The recovery executable that comes with the ROM is actually in /system/bin/recovery
Modified kernels like mine have another CWM recovery in the kernel which is in /sbin/recovery which is compiled into the kernel's read-only initramfs.

Content of recovery.sh:
(lagfix stuff is about sztupys lagfix for the sgs and can be ignored for g3 at the moment.
This replaces stock froyo recovery (3e) with clockwork recovery, but same procedure applies to old 2e recovery.
Code:
#!/sbin/busybox sh
/sbin/busybox cp /sbin/fat.format /system/bin/fat.format
# use default recovery from rom if we have an update to process, so things like CSC updates work
# Use CWM if we simply entered recovery mode by hand, to be able to use it's features
if /sbin/busybox [ -f "/cache/recovery/command" ];
then
# if we use the original recovery it might modify the filesystem, so we erase our config, in order to avoid regeneration
# of the filesystems. The drawback is that the lagfix has to be re-applied by hand
/sbin/busybox rm /system/etc/lagfix.conf
/sbin/busybox rm /system/etc/lagfix.conf.old
rm /sdcard
mkdir /sdcard
#/sbin/rec2e &
/system/bin/recovery &
else
# TODO: CWM is a bit more intelligent, but it might fail to
/sbin/recovery &
fi;
Hope someone can make use of this to get update.zip working again...
Nobody looked into this yet? This would make much things easier for us...
Bump

realy hope we get some good progress and development on this thread....

I was going to respond, but you responded for me: I tried to make some change to the recovery, basically to make Clockworkmod Recovery work. It seems that in Samsung's phones, the recovery is stored in /system, which is a total nonsense. I managed to get CWN almost work, but it was really buggy.

No, not yet. Clockwork needs to be ported to our device to run, which i am not able to do. If u can port it i can eventually give some hints...

Samsung Galaxy Rugby Pro (SGH-547) Root / CWR / Other Hacks

There is now a super thread over here with this root information and some more recoveries. I plan on expanding as more things are developed for the Rugby Pro.
I have added other hacks to this thread below the root download links. Enjoy.
The below guide outlines how to gain root on the Samsung Galaxy Rugby Pro (SGH-I547 ATT / Bell (Yes, Canada works!) / commanche). Please read through the full guide before attempting to root your device.
You will need ODIN v3.04 in order to gain root on the Rugby Pro (comanche), I will not post a link due to the nature of the package. Google has plenty of links for it.
BIG thanks to utkanos for all the help and making this a reality
Install instructions -- goldenlederhosen has provided some further information and detail about the below procedure here
Please read his post as well as the instructions before attempting this procedure
Install drivers from link below
Download necessary packages (clockwork recovery, root update) from the links below
Copy root update to your devices sdcard(s) -- Copy to both if external SD card is present
Charge phone to at least 80%
Power off the phone
Unplug from USB / Charger
Boot into download mode (Home + Volume Down + Power)
When asked if you want to continue, press Volume Up to enter download mode
Plugin phone and
Launch ODIN
Check the checkbox next to "PDA"
Click the PDA button
Select the comanche_cwr_6015_utkanos.tar.md5 file
Make sure only "Auto Reboot" and "F. Reset Time" are selected
Click start
Your phone will reboot one the flash is complete
You now have Clockwork Recovery, continue with the steps to get root
Power off your phone
Unplug from USB / Charger
Boot into Clockwork Recovery (Home + Volume Up + Power -- Release when Samsung logo appears)
Select "Install zip from sd card"
Select "Choose zip from sd card"
Navigate to zip
Select zip
Confirm
Reboot
You should now have root

I plan on using a stock boot image so I can put together an ODIN image that will flash the phone back to a stock state. If you root your phone or have a custom recovery / system / boot OTA updates will generally fail to apply. The best way to get an OTA update applied is to rollback to stock and install the OTA.

The boot partition should be the same across devices unless you make modifications.
I had to blindly update the boot partition on my device to get root, so I do not have an un-changed copy of it. In order to get an OTA update applied and to work with some Cyanogen / Clockwork Recovery stuff I will need a clean boot partition image.

I worked with a few people to get help putting together an ODIN image that allowed me to get custom recovery and the clockwork recovery update.zip. There is no general guide on the steps necessary.
If you are interested in diving into the custom rom / recovery stuff I will be doing some work with improving clockwork recovery for the Ruby Pro (commanche) and hopefully working on a Cyanogenmod 10 (JellyBean) port in the future. I am working on some items for the Rugby Smart (apache) at present, as soon as that stuff is taken care of I'll be focusing more on the Rugby Pro (commanche). If you are interested in taking a shot at updating the clockwork recovery for the commanche let me know and I can maybe point you in a few directions to get you going.

You probably know this, but here's where I downloaded Samsung's ROM (disguised again, & I'm pretty sure the new "c" version is for Canada) Just search for sgh-i547:

I am interested. Realize I have miniscule programming skills (http, xml & Google {now MIT} App Inventor).
Also, I did freeze TetheringProvision, but I rarely tether. Usually I only need to when it's raining & my home DSL slows too much. I'll let you know if I have any problems when I do finally try it.

I pulled that package as well. Unfortunately it is only the GPL components they are required to release, not the full ROM sources. It does contain the kernel sources which will be very helpful down the line.

Keep me in the loop. I tend to only tether for the purpose of my tablet when I'm not near a WiFi AP. I wanted to point it out just in case, better to have it working before it's necessary.
Let me know if you want a modded stock kernel . I'l be willing to help, even though I don't have the device on-hand.
IRC channel on FreeNode is setup: #rugby-pro-dev for those that are interested.

I think we should be covered at the moment. The first priority will likely be getting a recovery nailed down and 100% before working on a customized kernel. I'm hoping to get recovery nailed sooner than later so we can do things like nandroid and similar before starting in on CM10 or another ROM.
I am also working on the Rugby Smart (apache) CM9/3.0 Kernel/CM10 stuff as well so my time with the Pro is limited at the moment. Hopefully the Smart stuff moves quickly so I can loop back around to the Pro quickly.

Ah, learn something new every day.

Sure, I already monitor #opennic on freenode, so I can just open another channel.

Looks like TetheringProvision.apk is the one to freeze (do not delete unless you have a backup). If you try this let me know.

I deleted it, and now when I try and turn on the hotspot the device temporarily freezes and then I get the message "Unfortunatley, Settings has stopped."

Odd, I'll have to double check my device again. Do you have a backup of the apk, or do you need a copy of it to restore?

Thanks, but I made a backup copy, Think the issue could be because it was deleted instead of frozen?
ETA, help, donation etc
I'm very interested in buying the Samsung Galaxy Rugby Pro for AT&T. However, there is no Cyanogenmod port for it yet. I really only want to have a phone if it can run a free ROM.
@kemonine96 et.al.:
When do you think a beta CM port will be ready?
I have not done any Android development and very little administration, but I am a seasoned Linux software engineer. Is there any way I can help with porting CM to this phone?
Finally, would a donation (kemonine96 has a paypal donations link) speed up the process? I can't afford to pay hundreds of dollars, but I could do something like 50....

You are not alone in that sentiment. I won't run a device I know won't receive a CyanogenMod port. The good news is as long as there is root, CyanogenMod can be made to work.

"Soon". Myself and a couple others are working on a set of changes for the Rugby Smart (predecessor to the Pro) and once they are further along I will be looking into starting the CyanogenMod port for the Pro.

Most definitely, there are a few things that would help out a CyanogenMod port significantly. If you contact me via IRC (see OP) or via PM we can discuss some of the options and take it from there. Please note I leave my IRC connection active 24x7 so I may not respond right away.

As much as I may appreciate a donation, please hold off as I cannot commit to working on CyanogenMod for the Pro in a paid capacity I am comfortable with. I am working 50-60 hour work weeks at my day job so my free time is severely limited. I have every intention on bringing CyanogenMod to the Pro but it is a free time problem more than anything else.

[ROM[S3][TEST] MIUI Port For One S C2

This is MIUI For the ONE S C2, It is based on bilal_liberty's CM10 Rom so expect similar performance and bugs. You will be running Android 4.1.2 With MIUI For Jelly Bean. It is currently not tested so make a full backup before you flash it, also do a logcat and post it if you can so we fix the issue if you have one.
Notice - This Rom has currently not been tested so use at your own risk, this is why it is labelled TEST.
Download - Soon
How To - To install this ROM just follow the usual way, Back up, Flash Rom, Clear Cache and everything and then boot.img.
V1.3 - Flashes, Boots but force closes and not stable, will release soon.

I am doing a new build at this time i think i did something wrong the first time, so im going to add another unsigned file in a minute if you or someone else could make it a flashable zip and do a logcat when you do to save time would be good help, ill edit this page when it goes live on dropbox.
BTW this is how im trying to port it if anyone else wants a go - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1994503
For making flashable zip just select meta-inf folder system folder and boot.img and add them archieve, there is nothing extra to do.

This rom from the above links works well, ive tried it.
Is old hboot 2.09 supported ?
can we flash this over 4.0.3 or do we need 4.0.4 as base ?
Paint in more detail information on ROM.
From what device port that was done, lay out screenshots, competently issue a post, write the detailed instruction. That works that doesn't work.
Thanks.

You did notice that there was a issue with internal storage right?? It was suggested I could fix using a init file but I've not had a chance to work on it yet. If you happen to have the same issue and fix it, please share and let me know what you did.

ups, sorry, I did not notice
Link to the exact issue?
Sure if I find a fix I will share all sources. That's what I always do now, outside the touch code

not sure of the source of the issue, but its internal sd/storage is read only. So no backups can be made to internal storage. Restoring data works fine tho.
TWRP doesnt have this issue tho, so I think its in the device repo and prolly something simple. lol
Also this is only known to work with the G900F so far. The kernel src I have on github is technically for the G900D, but its working in CWM. Just seems to be missing model specific dts files.

Not having the device makes it a too long debug process. Also, seems few users interested in debugging it
About write to sdcard, it is probably a selinux permission issue. At least that's what I most often encountred
I looked at your twrp sources. They use custom selinux permission files
Well, in fact they are using Samsung enforced permissions and they run this at boot:
Code:
toolbox setenforce permissive
You'll have to mount /system for that than unmount it as we have still no setenforce in busybox (they are in Pruvot custom busybox repo though)
Can you try this:
ensure you are not using the recovery.fstab file in your device tree but the fstab.qcom
adb shell:
Code:
mount /system
/system/bin/toolbox setenforce permissive

See if you can now access internal storage in write mode

Agreed, debugging w/o the device is a pita. lol
I seen that as well and had the tester try to set it. Not sure if they mounted system first, so will have them try it again to make sure. If they did, it didnt help.
I will have to check and see which fstab I have it using too. When I hear from my tester I will test all your suggestions. And thanks.
Its using the fstab.qcom.

Oh, you're also doing it blindly
It can be possible, but not with such a non existing feedback from users
If you think testers are just able to boot and check, try to add the needed lines to postrecoveryboot.sh (inherited from msm8960-common/recovery)
Code:
mount [BLKID] /system
/system/bin/toolbox setenforce permissive
umount /system
However, I think you need the blkid, not sure the path symlink to partition will work
You cannot just make a mount /system from postrecoveryboot.sh as the fstab file is not yet generated by recovery at that level
