[Q] Latest Linux version of Flashtool does not see libusb

As I still don't made sufficient posts to put it directly to dev forum, it's here. Admins, please move it to correct sections as you desire.
I installed the latest version of Flashtool for Linux. I followed the instructions at flashtool. net/install. php and tried to run './Flashtool'. here is the output:
[[email protected] FlashTool]# ./FlashTool
Running as root.
JAVA_HOME not set. Using default value : ./x10flasher_lib/linjre64
libusb.LibUsbException: Libusb not found. Minimum libusb version is 1.0.15. It can be downloaded on libusbx. org
at libusb.UsbSystem.initSystem(UsbSystem.java:28)
at libusb.UsbSystem.<init>(UsbSystem.java:15)
at linuxlib.JUsb.init(JUsb.java:21)
at gui.Main.initLinuxUsb(Main.java:47)
at gui.Main.main(Main.java:34)
I have libusbx 1.0.16 and libusb 0.1.5 installed, so how can I debug this? if someone can forward this to Androxyde I will be very grateful.
I am running Fedora 19 x64 with both 32 and 64 bit libs installed, as per Flashtool site instructions. Current Java (Oracle) is Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.7.0_45-b18), 64-bit version.
Thank you

I found on my system (arch linux) the libusbx libs were named differently from what flashtool is looking for.
FlashTool was looking for "/usr/lib/libusbx-1.0.so" and "/usr/lib/libusbx-1.0.so.0.1.0"
but what i had was "/usr/lib/libusb-1.0.so" and "/usr/lib/libusb-1.0.so.0.1.0" respectively.
I created Symbolic links so that flashtool would find what it was looking for...
"ln -s /usr/lib/libusb-1.0.so.0.1.0 /usr/lib/libusbx-1.0.so.0.1.0"
&
"ln -s /usr/lib/libusb-1.0.so /usr/lib/libusbx-1.0.so"
(Ran in root terminal without qoutes) That fixed it for me.
Perhaps those libs are also named differently on fedora too? i used "find / -name libusb*" (in root terminal without qoutes) to check for them on my system.
It's also possible to change the searched for filenames in "FlashTool" (the launching script) itself by editing it but that would need to be redone with every new version unless fixed/changed by the developers. the lines that would need changed are..
"ln -sf libusbx-1.0.so.0.1.0 ./x10flasher_lib/linux/lib32/libusbx-1.0.so"
"ln -sf libusbx-1.0.so.0.1.0 ./x10flasher_lib/linux/lib64/libusbx-1.0.so"
(I've bolded the part to be changed for flashtool-0.9.13.0, it might be different in the future)
Hope this helps :good:

I decided to change flashtool's script/launcher so it looks for libusbx in a more robust (i hope) way. i've attached the changed file. If this works for you then we can submit the changes to the devs for their consideration.

***EDIT*** I found a downside. The the new script/launcher is going to find and use either the old libusb or libusbx so it may create more problems than it solves for some users if they dont install libusbx before using flashtool.
Another problem will arise if the distro's libusbx package maintainers havent over written the old libusb libs to use libusbx as a drop in replacement like on arch and fedora 19 (i checked inside the fedora libusbx package before) because the changed script/launcher will likely link to libusb before libusbx if they are sitting next to each other.

first go to this http://www.libusbx.org
and download latest source (tarball)
extract that .tar.gz and go to that dir
now run the following commands
Code:
./config
make
sudo make install
assuming your Flashtool folder is in home
run the following commands
Code:
cd
cp /usr/local/lib/libusb-1.0.so.0.1.0 FlashTool/x10flasher_lib/linux/lib64
cp /usr/local/lib/libusb-1.0.so.0.1.0 FlashTool/x10flasher_lib/linux/lib32
replace the FlashTool script in FlashTool folder by this one FlashTool

FlashTool developer decided to bundle full JRE (both 32 and 64 bit) plus all these binaries and libraries with a relatively simple Java application for some strange reason. Lame. I've spent more than an hour downloading the 113 MB 7z archive from some sh*tty file-share service, instead spending just 1/4 of that time, and do something useful for the rest!
An average Linux user should be able to install these deps by herself, all she needs is a decent README specifiying the deps...
At least with the Ubuntu 13.10 (Saucy), libusb, which is at version 1.0.1.16, should work, so one does not need no freakin libusbx... This is for Saucy x86_64;
Code:
# One also needs basic 32-bit support, for running stuff like bin2sin, check libc6:i386 or similar:
sudo apt-get install android-tools-adb android-tools-fastboot libusb-1.0-0 default-jre
sudo ln -s libusb-1.0.so.0.1.0 /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libusbx-1.0.so
# Remove 260MB of rubbish:
cd <wherever you unpacked FlashTool>
rm -rf x10flasher_lib/{adb,fastboot}.linux x10flasher_lib/lin*
ln -s /usr/bin/adb x10flasher_lib/adb.linux
ln -s /usr/bin/fastboot x10flasher_lib/fastboot.linux
ln -s swt64.jar x10flasher_lib/swtlin/swt.jar

when i execute above command..it gives this error..

[SCRIPT / TOOL] zro's ultimate permission fixer script v1.0

Do I need to explain what a permission fixer script is supposed to do?
It fixes all the permissions (currently only for /system) and removes some knox bloatware folders along the way.
Root and busybox is required.
---
NOTE: This is the first step for a "rom installer script".
Please let me know if you find any errors or want any folders added to the additional permission fixes.
Or if you know any enhancements too off course.
There might be some redundancy within the script, but I wanted to better be safe
---.
So here it goes (download attached below):
Copy it to wherever you like and make it runnable (chmod 755) to execute.
I just copied it to my /system/xbin folder so I just have to type "fix_permissions.sh" when I want to fix em.
(could even get rid of the ".sh" to get the fix_permission command back kind of)
Code:

Thanks for this, just what is was needing on my N3...
The thing is, I cannot boot the system... can you help me to run it on CWM recovery? Maybe converting it into a 'flashable script'?

this stuff is old - the kn0x0ut toolbox includes the current version of the fix permission script.
This should also work over adb on recovery. But you need some adb skills.

I wonder if (for max safety) you might need to add selinux refresh stuff in some places?

Clean All Caches

I wanted to share a script for cleaning all caches without rebooting to recovery. If this is the wrong place please forgive me or if its already posted forgive me I have never seen it. Just thought it may be helpful to some.
1) Download a script manager or if you already have one next step
2) Copy code below
3) Open create section in script manager
4) Past copied code save script.
5) Run and enjoy
HTML:
#!/system/bin/sh
busybox find /data/dalvik-cache -type d -iname "*cache*" -exec busybox rm -f {}/* ';'
busybox find /data/data -type d -iname "*cache*" -exec busybox rm -f {}/* ';'
busybox find /cache -type d -iname "*cache*" -exec busybox rm -f {}/* ';'
busybox find /system/app -type d -iname "*cache*" -exec busybox rm -f {}/* ';'
busybox find /system/priv-app -type d -iname "*cache*" -exec busybox rm -f {}/* ';'
busybox find /data/data -type d -iname "*cache*" -exec busybox rm -f {}/* ';' -exec echo "Cleared all caches{}" ';'

Can't fix Internal Memory permissions

Hi, recently I updated to Alberto97's unofficial version of LineageOS "lineage-14.1-20171105-UNOFFICIAL-osprey.zip" and the latest opengapps. After booting the rom, I noticed I can't access the internal memory at all. I've already tried osmosis' SD card file permissions fix, fixing the context of SELinux on TWRP, these commands:
chown -R media_rw:media_rw /data/media/
find /data/media/ -type d -exec chmod 775 {} ';'
find /data/media/ -type f -exec chmod 664 {} ';'
and nothing fixes it. Is there any other fix for it? I can access the SD card itself, just not the internal memory.

Simple mv script not working: cannot stat .../*.jpg

I wrote a script to move downloaded files to a dir 'syncthing'.
I want to execute that script with Termux and it runs but I get the 'cannot stat' error.
I think the reason is while running the script, there's no globbing happening on the *.
Here's the script I'm using
Code:
#!/bin/bash
## tried this one too.
#!/data/data/com.termux/files/usr/bin/bash
root=/data/data/com.termux/files/home/storage/shared
# trying to force globbing, does nothing.
shopt -s globstar
mv "$root"/Download/*.jpg "$root"/Syncthing
mv "$root/Download/*.png" "$root/Syncthing"
mv "$root/Download/*.webp" "$root/Syncthing"
mv "$root/Download/*.jpeg" "$root/Syncthing"
mv "$root/Download/*.mp4" "$root/Syncthing"
mv "$root/Download/*.mkv" "$root/Syncthing"
mv "$root/Download/*.mov" "$root/Syncthing"
mv "$root/Download/*.avi" "$root/Syncthing"
mv "$root/Download/*.doc" "$root/Syncthing"
mv "$root/Download/*.xdocx" "$root/Syncthing"
mv "$root/Download/*.xls" "$root/Syncthing"
mv "$root/Download/*.xlsx" "$root/Syncthing"
mv "$root/Download/*.pdf" "$root/Syncthing"
mv "$root/Download/*.txt" "$root/Syncthing"
mv "$root/Download/ *.md" "$root/Syncthing"
Error:
mv: cannot stat '/data/data/com.termux/files/home/storage/shared/Download/*.jpg': no such file or directory.
Initially, I was using /storage/emulated/0 in the script but changed it to /data/data/com.termux/files/home/storage/shared after I realized that was working in Termux terminal, while the previous didn't if I remember correctly.

{Mod edit: Quoted post has been removed}
I see in the e-mail you asked "Is $root a mountpoint?".
I did not mount $root, it's just a variable with the path to Termux home dir / shared.

Don't use
Code:
mv "$root"/Download/*.jpg "$root"/Syncthing
Use this instead:
Code:
mv $root/Download/*.jpg $root/Syncthing
You don't need "" to separate the two arguments/paths.

I removed the quotes but the result is the same while nano is complaining by making $root red lol

The command mv can only be successfull if there's any *.jpg file in your folder. If not you'll get that error. So, you need an if condition.

Hold on, you were right and I wasn't being too bright for a sec.
It actually did work by removing the quotes.
I just get a pile of "error" output for the file types that aren't there.
That was the reason I didn't notice jpgs were not in that pile.
The highlighting in red is, I suppose, not intended as bad but just to make vars stand out.
I wonder why this Termux bash version works a little different than usual, struggling over the quotes.
At any rate, solved!
Thank you very much!

no prob ;-)
To get rid of those errors you could proof if there are any file types by using this for example:
Code:
#!/data/data/com.termux/files/usr/bin/bash
root=/data/data/com.termux/files/home/storage/shared
if [ -f $root/Download/*.jpg ]
then
mv $root/Download/*.jpg $root/DCIM
fi

Gonna leave my script here hoping it can save somebody else some time.
Code:
#!/bin/bash
# Move media files to $USER_HOME/Syncthing.
# $USER_HOME is /storage/emulated/0. Termux maps to it as, see $root var.
root=/data/data/com.termux/files/home/storage/shared

ytdl=$root/Movies/YouTube-DL

for ext in $exts
do
# Remove '2> /dev/null' if you need to see the output for debugging.
mv $fb/*.$ext $root/Syncthing 2> /dev/null

mv $scr_sht/*.$ext $root/Syncthing 2> /dev/null
mv $ytdl/*.$ext $root/Syncthing 2> /dev/null
done
