adp1 seems unrooted after update to crb43

Hello All and thank you for the amazing work going on.
This question might have been answered, but I didn't found it.
I bought the dev phone at google and updated it to cupcake following this which is solely intended for adp1 :
http://www.htc.com/www/support/android/adp.html
Here are the versions installed :
Baseband : 62.50S.20.17H_2.22.19.26I
Kernel : 2.6.27-00393-g6607056 [email protected] #1
Build : dream_devphone-userdebug 1.5 CRB43 148830 test-keys
from my computer, when getting the prompt after the command "adb shell", I can type su and I don't get any error message ; it seems I can root to it.
But on the other hand, from the app Terminal Emulator on the phone, when typing su I get the error message "su: uid 10046 not allowed to su"
Do you know what's wrong if any, and if I am really root ?
And if not, how to get to it?
Thank you
guyiom

did u use the tmobile cupcake us release? if you did, that rom is not rooted and you should use a rooted cupcake rom like CyanogenMod or JF. I suggest CyanogenMod

Use adb and input the following
adb remount
adb shell
mount -o remount,rw /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system
cat /system/bin/sh > /system/bin/su
chmod 4755 /system/bin/su
You're welcome

in fact as I posted, I said it seems to be rooted from adb but not from device itself. the update I used was provided by HTC only for the dev phone (it is explicitely said not for tmo g1)
anyway what dif between JF and Cyanogen ?
I already donloaded JF 1.51 one. How to apply it (or cyanogen) then ?
Thank you for the quick reply
guyiom

DOHCtor you ROCKS !!!
you just forgot to mention after the adb shell to go to root by su
then all commands went fine
as I like to understand, do you know the reason I had these symptoms ( root in adb but not on device) ?
again thank you very much.
as of ever, nux communities are reliable

They were trying to patch a hole without covering it up completely for the dev phones. Just a security thing I'm guessing.

but the update was for rooted pĥones, so that's weird from htc.
anyway thank you again, from now I will document myself to get JF or Cyanogen.
From your signature you seems to have both, one for recovery, one for running. Can you tell me the differences between them ?
thank you
guyiom

Cyanogen's Recovery Image is amazing and will make your life a lot easier. I suggest using that instead of the JF recovery image. As for the ROM it self. i also suggest cyanogenMOD since its the fastest and probably the most stable in my eyes.

Hi and thank you for the reply,
So are you suggesting me to download this file : http://code.google.com/p/android-roms/downloads/list/cyanogen_JFv1.51_CM3-ADP.zip and rename it to update.zip to go to the process with Power + Home buttons ?
Thank you

My G1 is stuffed, but not bricked. Mount from Recovery? Wave invites for help.

Ok. So yesterday night I was trying to give my G1 a new ROM. I wasn't really concentrating. I was tired. I've done it successfully before. I was following the instructions on Cyanogen Wiki for phones already with custom SPL and OTA.
Something screwed up, I did the firstROM a while ago so it probably wasn't the right one. Maybe it needed deathspl.
Regardless, it is now stuck on the T-Mobile G1 screen (and its stuck, I've left it for an entire night: still stuck) . I can take out the battery and boot into recovery mode. So at this point I basically need to mount my SD through USB (i dont have adapter) so I can start from scratch with SPLs, Radios and Images. This is the problem.
I've read you can do it by pressing Alt+X, going into console/terminal and type some commands in. I press Alt+X but nothing happens. I'll tell you what happens when I do other things:
---------
Alt+S= E:Can't mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p1 (or /dev/block/mmcblk0) (Invalid argument)
Can't mount sdcard
Alt+A= <<same thing except for last line:>> E:Can't mount SDCARD:
Move apps+dalvik-cache to SD: Error: run apps2sd via adb
Apply sdcard:update.zip: Can't mount sdcard
Apply sdcard:choose zip: E: CAn't mount SDCARD:
Wipe data/factory reset: Data wipe complete.
Nandroid v2.2 backup: Can't mount sdcard
Nandroid v2.2 restore: Can't mount sdcard, aborting.
Format SD : fat32+ext2+swap: Format complete!
Format SD : fat32: Format complete
Repair ext filesystem: Error : run e2fsck via adb!
Convert ext2 to ext3: Error : run upgrade_fs via adb!
Fix package uid mismatches: Error : run fix_permissions via adb!
-----------
Alrighty. So its royally stuffed up.
Please help! I'm telling myself its not bricked, because it has small but definite programs and calculations running.
It mentions adb, and I have used it in the past to skip through a tutorial (back when you couldn't skip through it) because it needed internet connection and at the time I didnt have data transfer on my SIM, but I did have Wireless. How exactly I did this escapes. Do I need to download anything?
I have no idea if this helps, but I was trying to think of a sort of prize for anybody to help and I have Google Wave invites. Whether thats a big deal or not, I have no idea.
Please help!

Well you can assure yourself that you are not bricked.
First check your SPL and Radio.
If they are:
SPL=1.33.2005
Radio=2.26.19.26I
then your good in that area.
you just need to wipe everything and retry the ROM.
If not then you might want to get the latest stuff and try again that way.

Thanks
Thanks.
But how do I check?
I can't get into the proper Android OS, the three states my phone can be in are:
Off
Stuck on T-Mobile Screen
Recovery Mode
Also, how can I get some new stuff on my SD card if I the only things I have are: the phone described above (i.e. the only workable state being recovery mode), an SD card and a USB cable.
Whats your email so I can send you an invite if you want it?

To see you SPL and Radio do this:
Turn off phone
Hold Home and End Call buttons.
If you see:
Hboot-1.33.2005 or something like that then that means that you have the latest SPL
Radio-2.22.19.26I then you have the latest Radio too.
First we need to check to see what your SPL and radio is before you try to do anything that involves flashing ROMs
What recovery image do you have?

Can't see it
When I press Home + End Call I can see is:
Android System Recovery:
<the options I described before, with their errors>
The above is in green font, the background is black with an HTC logo, at the very bottom is white font that says this:
Build: RAv1.2.1G
Sorry for not replying as fast as could. I mega-ly appreciate this so I'll try to be more vigilant.
I'll look around for other key combos to get some more info.

Well thats atleast one step we've bypassed. Stay with me here.
Alrighty so I know the Radio and SPL, and apparently they are up to date.
What next?

From your above post, it seems your SDcard is not being read by your phone. Not sure what the issue is there.
But, if you can get it recognized by the phone, try the following:
It seems you have ADB set up, you may be in luck.
Connect the USB cable in recovery and type these commands on cmd prompt in Windows:
adb shell
ums_enable
This should mount your phone to your PC.
You can now move in necessary files to save your phone.
I suggest doing a FULL WIPE, then reflashing a ROM such as CM 4.2.14.1 (latest build).
If that doesn't work, you may have to start over by flashing DREAIMG.nbh (RC29), flashing latest radio, flashing SPL, DON'T REBOOT, then flashing rom RIGHT AFTER SPL.
Good luck, keep us updated.

Nearly There
Ok. So I got adb up and running.
I ran adb devices and it was blank so I followed part 2 of:
<do google search for "the unlockr hot to set up adb usb drivers for android devices>
After reinstalling drivers via USBDeview:
My Device Manager is now registering my phone as the Android Composite ADB Interface, but when I run adb devices it still has a blank list.
Keep in mind I am in recovery mode.
When I try and run adb shell, it errors with 'no device found' so I need to do this devices command successfully.
Does anybody know whats happening?

Try running it while the Phone is on instead of recovery.

Say run terminal and post the output of:
cat /proc/cmdline
By the way you can still flash images using fastboot mode.

Its stuck
When you say 'on' do you mean on the T-Mobile Screen?

Thanks
Thanks again guys this is really good and I think we're getting close. OK. Here's an update as of right now:
My computer recognizes my phone in T-Mobile Logo, Fastboot (or thing with three skating Androids, Home and Back), and Recovery.
When I cd to my tools folder I can run adb commands but when I run 'adb devices' it shows:
List of devices attached
....
No serial number or anything. I've reinstalled the drivers.
When I do the command 'run terminal' it says 'run' is not recognized as an internal or external command blah blah
This is the same with 'cat /proc/cmdline'
I still can't run terminal with Alt+X in recovery mode (at least, nothing happens)
My phone cannot turn 'on'. It is stuck on the T-Mobile Screen.
What should I do?

Normal boot.

That doesn't work.
How can I see it in adb devices?
Argh!
Any ideas just throw them out there.

Have you tried another sdcard? That's the first thing I would try if the phone is complaining about not being able to read it.

Check ur drivers.
sounds like u need to update them.

[Q] Downloads Stuck at Starting Download

From the day i got my Galaxy S, I can only download roughly upto 10 apps. After that any download stucks at "Starting Download" . It never fails or succeed.
Only solution found is to do a hard reset wiping all data and installed apps.
I'm in Singapore - got the phone from SingTel. SingTel told me they cannot help but better go to SAMSUNG service center. Samsung kept the phone 2 days with them and returned me saying they have not yet found a solution.
Guys please help.

Try going to Manage applications and press menu and set the filter to "all"
then find Download Manager and clear cache or data
I hope it works out for you because I know those types of market problems are not pleasant and I'm really sad that Google hasn't managed to permanently fix this because it happens in nearly all Android phones.

Had this on my desire aswell for a while, sadly only resetting the phone (as in factory reset ) solved it. It's definetly a market problem tho, so samsung will prob be unable to help you...

Clear cahce/data from Download Manager does not help. Only factory reset does. But I have noticed the problem happens after Market gets updated automatically. There is an app called Market Updater too. I tried uninstalling updates. It does not work either with all other clear cache/data fixes.

Internal phone storage : 1.75GB available
Internal SD card : 13.40GB available.
External SD card : 6.16GB available.
I still have plenty of space.
Any fix you guys know without RESETTING the phone?

Same problem here. The i9000 screen was frozen after installing the apps from Android Market. Have to remove the battery and do Factory reset. The phone would suddenly reboot by itself sometimes during normal using. I have to return to Expansy.

Nztechfreak had to return his SGS because of what seemed to be a corrupt Marketplace application as part of the stock build. I've had no such problems.
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App

Are the singtel SGS sim-locked? If not then have you tried flashing the firmware?

I have the same problem. What I noticed too is that downloads work only couple of minutes until account sync is finished. Samsung apps install fine, as do non market apk.

All phones sold here in Singapore must be unlocked. It is illegal to sell locked phones.
I already tried these firmware.
I9000XXJE2
I9000XXJE3
I9000DXJF4
I9000XXJF5
I9000DXJE7
All above firmware has the same market stall issue.

If Google does not take actions to solve this issue they will lose the battle against Apple iOS4 and M$Soft Windows Phone 7 soon.

Downloads Stuck - Solved for Galaxy S
Hi Guys,
I solved my "Starting download..." issue on Samsung Galaxy S (GT-I9000).
This is how.
Find another Galaxy S phone in which you can download apps without problem. I got my friend's Galaxy S. Confirm both phones have same firmware and kernel by going to Settings > About Phone.
Root both phones using this method. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=710452
Go to settings > applications > development > enable USB debugging in both phones
Connect market working phone to a PC / Mac (Windows, Linux, OSX) where Android SDK is installed.
http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html
Execute following commands.
adb shell
su
busybox dd if=/dev/block/stl3 of=/sdcard/stl3.out
busybox dd if=/dev/block/stl11 of=/sdcard/stl11.out
busybox dd if=/dev/block/stl10 of=/sdcard/stl10.out
exit
exit (now you are at PC terminal. Note that 'mmcblk0p2' will take some time to backup - be patient)
Now required files are dumped in Market working phone's sdcard. Use adb pull to get those files into your Mac or PC.
adb pull /sdcard/stl3.out .
adb pull /sdcard/stl11.out .
adb pull /sdcard/stl10.out .
Connect your phone (market not working) to your PC or mac.
Transfer dumped files to your phone using adb push.
adb push stl3.out /sdcard/
adb push stl11.out /sdcard/
adb push stl10.out /sdcard/
Then issue following commands. (we are going to restore dumped files now)
adb shell
su
busybox dd if=/sdcard/stl3.out of=/dev/block/stl3
busybox dd if=/sdcard/stl11.out of=/dev/block/stl11
busybox dd if=/sdcard/stl10.out of=/dev/block/stl10
reboot
After restarting your market should work as expected. Cheers!

Can anyone upload the files for JG5? I don't really want to factory reset... but I guess I might need to

Yes JG5 dump would be greatly appreciated as I don't know any other Galaxy owners locally

I think my problem must be different. I left mine for 5-10 minutes and the download eventually started. Gradually it's gotten quicker and quicker.

My problem is the same, so a dump of the JG5, kernel 2.6.29 <---- not too fussed if kernel is not quite the same, i'll give it a shot anyway.

Can you pull those files off a good phone and upload them somewhere on some link and post it so we with the problem can just download them and adb push them to ours with a problem? Chances of me finding someone with a g ood rooted phone who wants to play are slim.

DUMP Download link - Galaxy S

Rogers Dream Slow Mobile Data Need Your help

Hello i have a Rogers dream rooted. I used speedtest.net application here are my last 10 test result in kbps...
I have a clue can it be that is lsow my connection because it always roaming?

Note:those numbers are not backward!
you get the picture the download speed is very very bad upload is good.
i tryed many differents roms and kernel mix.
here is my setup for those test above
radio: 3.22.26.17
spl: dangerspl
recovery: RA-dream-v1.7.0R
rom: MT3G-test2_S + MT3G-test2-market-fix_S
kernel: ez-BiffTest2Kern_ebi1_S
i dont know how can i fix my trouble i use this phone on telus network ans tested my sim in a telus htc desire and speed is fantastic!
if you have any idea to fix my trouble it would be very very appreciated since i need some internet for my work and if i cant fic it i need a new phone and its not a good option for me now!
thank for your help.

Look up ro.rill settings, the ota being a T-Mobile stock Tom is not optimized to other networks.
But you can from recovery modify your ro.ril settings to speed things up..
(Or copy the out of the desires build.prop)

thx for the info i will try the file from my firend desire he is on telus. i edited mine but im not sure if it worked yet!

You just want the ril settings, since the rest will impact the operation of the rom. Also not all settings will work so keep a backup.
Also in other threads it's noted it may take a few restarts for it to work.

Im not able to write to system i tryed some guide in terminal and one apllication from the marking but im notable to copy prop.buil to system.

Boot into recovery, atatch your USB wire and run the following adb comands from your computer:
To pull build.prop to your computer:
Code:
adb shell mount /system
adb pull /system/build.prop build.prop
Edit the file
Then to push back:
Code:
adb push build.prop /tmp/build.prop
adb shell dos2unix /tmp/build.prop
adb shell cat /tmp/build.prop /system/build.prop
adb shell sync
adb shell um
adb shell reboot

I finally managed to change the setting from 10 to 12 and its faster but not like the desire. i get 1000 kbps somes times and upload is still faster. Thx for the help whit this !! im still wondering if roaming can make the connection slower.

You have a telus sim on the telus network correct? [That combo is not roaming]
There are many factors in network speed. Personally for most things I use phone data for latency is more of a problem than speed.
One other note: if you are no longer with rogers you might try changing 3.22.26.17 -> 3.22.20.17 by fastboot. (not sure it will help speed but is know to solve some other gotchas without impacting the current rom)

do i need to flash a new recovery at the same time?

No .. if you are just going between 3.22.* radios using fastboot to flash:
The current system (including recovery, boot, system, and userdata) ought to work without any modification..
In case of problems however: so long as you flash the radio via fastboot [AND NOT recovery] you can use fastboot to restore a -R recovery and wipe the rest of the system if something goes wrong.

Finally i got some speed one of my trouble is that i cant test iut at home the signal is bad just here.I listened to internet radio for 100 KM today whit no trouble.Little cut when i whas changing tower i think!

[Q] [UPDATED]some question about signal, contacts and app on sd

Hi to all...
I have a big problem
I have a N1 with froyo 2.2.1
radio rom 05.12.00.08
build frg83D
And I cant' recieve OTA because it said that my version is upgraded....
But this is not the main problem...
I've root the mobile with SuperOneClickRoot and everythings goes fine, I have the icon in the launcher and I have the phone rooted...
I've tried to flash the recovery of amon Ra with the terminal app, and it said that flash_image not found...
So I've tried the ROM Manager and I've installed clockwork...when the yellow status bar finisch it gave me and error that some command cannot be executed with high privileges (or without high privileges I didn't remember the error was in italian language)...
What I have to do? I'm stuck with this phone...maybe rooted but it seems that anythings works on it
Please...
Thanks in advance
EDIT:
Please read THIS for the updated questions
Thanks

Interesting.. It's not found? Did you also where did you put the file and what was the command you did? Also.. what instructions did you follow? I'm assuming you typed in "su" as well right?

Try either fixing permissions via ROM Manager, or installing busybox through the Titanium problems menu...

Maybe it's because I've root the phone without installing the SDK but only the driver for nexus?
when I root I see that all adroid driver for windows was installed except the one of nexus...
Can I install SDK and then root again?

Of course it won't allow you to use flash_image - you don't have the executable on your phone.
Please read the proper manual in Wiki under "Installing Recovery image" (link in my signature), and follow the manual step by step.

Just because you have superuser in the app draw does not mean you're rooted.
Sent from my Nexus One using XDA App

New question
I've found out that the problem was that ROM Manager doesn't have the root privileges -.-
So I've installed amonra and cyanogen...
everything is good but I have a really BIG problem
The phone sometimes goes to "only emergency call" also if there are strong signal, maybe it's the Radio? can I re-install it? or can be the sim-card?
Sometime it happen when the phone is for long time stand-by some time random...it's pretty annoying
I've installed Cyanogen mod, the phone is already rooted?
how can I import windows contact to android?
There is a way to config the app I want that can notify me?
Can I install app directly on SD instead of trasfert it after they are installed on the phone memory?
Thanks in advace

1. It's not a radio.
2. Yes.
3. Google can answer that with 1000 guides.
4. Only in the app itself. There is no external control over notifications.
5. There's an option for that in CM. I don't suggest using it or transferring apps to SD that weren't meant to go to SD - since the next question you'll come with would most probably be "Why are my apps/widgets disappearing".

ahahah LOL
thanks, but I didn't understand well the point 5 about the app to sd (why some peole talk about App2SD???)
And if it is not the radio what is it???

There are several options for moving apps to SD. In CM7 they use the default option, existing since Froyo days. This default option has several limitations that you need to know before using it - I wrote them.
The other way is partitioning the SD card, adding another partition to it, and running a special set of system scripts that moves all the apps by default to that partition.
Please read FAQ, question 13, and the thread that it links to.
If it's not radio - it can be your SIM, it can be your signal, it can be your phone, or anything else. The radio is just a SW build, and it works.
