I need help about rooting

Hello everyone.
First off all i hope this post is in the right section.
Let me get this out off the way first:
Im not good at english, and im not good at cmd files and so on.
But! i can succecsfully root my phone and get the # in cmd.
The reason im rooting is becouse i want the market patch so i can see all apps.
Here is my questions:
1. Whenever i try to adb push vending......
It says "the file is read-only" i cheked its not read only
So how do i fix that?
2. In the guide to root the phone he says:
"You can do anything then! Look at /system, /data, etc etc. You're broken free, my friend"
Where can i see the /system and so on? he says look at, but where can i look at it? how can i like acces the folders?.
So on the easy way, i search a way to install the market patch.
Thank you everyone

Bump, i really hope someone will help

Anyone? please?

When you have root, you need to mount r/w partition:
- adb push tattoo-hack.ko ./data/local/bin/tattoo-hack.ko (if you haven't did it before)
- adb shell
$
- su
#
- # insmod /data/local/bin/tattoo-hack.ko
- # mount -o rw,remount /dev/block/mtdblock5 /data
- # mount -o rw,remount /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system
And now you have mounted in r/w, so:
- adb push Vending-Tattoo-patched.apk /system/app/Vending.apk
p.s. ah...you can access system folders with Root Explore (it needs root)

I never had to mount anything. I did the latest root hack in the sticky at top of forum and then i installed the full market apk. Worked a treat.

Of course, it's normal
You have to write "adb push vending....." non in "adb shell" but in "adb" (open another cmd and as for example "cd c:\android\tools", then "adb push" etc.)

Stupid me
Am so thankfull to you guys, you really helped me alot Thank you really much!

Okay, now i get "permisson denied" when im trying to "adb push vending..."
I opened a new CMD and typed cd c android tools, i just get permission denied.
Can anyone help me about that? Thank you guys so far

Have you opened new cmd closing the other or not?
You don't have to close the first cmd.
Try. If it doesn't work, probably there are some problems with the root procedure, in that case try that solution: Root in 1 click. It contains: root, boot.img, market (also recovery if you choose it).

Yea, i have tryed root in 1 click, but does it really include market?

Root in 1 click gives me the same error ?
Okay maybe this is alot to ask for but is there anyone out there that can make a video of it all from rooting to push market. i would be so thankfull.
And its not just for me, it would help alot out there. im so thank full

Damn, now it says "read only file system" again.
Can anyone post a detalied how-to Thank you really much.
Im going to bed now, cheking this post tommorow.
Btw, i would love to have talk with someone on msn, steam or mail.
Am from denmark if it matters.
THANK YOU

You have to repeate that every time you reboot:
- adb shell
$
- su
#
- # insmod /data/local/bin/tattoo-hack.ko
- # mount -o rw,remount /dev/block/mtdblock5 /data
- # mount -o rw,remount /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system
And then you have mounted in r/w:
- adb push Vending-Tattoo-patched.apk /system/app/Vending.apk
(one time)

Okay I Will try that when I get home. Can I use the 2. 1 market I mean so I can have all the 500 apps or is it only for 2 1 firmware modded phones?

Help!! Rooting problem...i think

Okay, I've been trying to root my sprint hero for 3 days now. I flashed it to Cricket service actually. So here are the commands I am using:
C:\Users\Ashton>cd\
C:\>cd AndroidSDK\Tools\
C:\AndroidSDK\tools>adb devices
List of devices attached
HT02AHF00747 device
C:\AndroidSDK\tools>adb shell chmod 0755 /data/local/asroot2
C:\AndroidSDK\tools>adb shell
$ /data/local/asroot2 /system/bin/sh
/data/local/asroot2 /system/bin/sh
[+] Using new pipe_inode_info layout
Opening: /proc/627/fd/3
SUCCESS: Enjoy the shell.
#mount -o remount,rw -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system
mount -o remount,rw -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system
#cd /system/bin
cd /system/bin
#cat sh > su
cat sh > su
# chmod 4775 su
chmod 4775 su
#
Okay, that's exactly what's displayed on my screen. I didn't put the # or $ signs in there. That's just what appeared as I was typing the commands. When I try to flash a recovery image, it won't install. I get a Signed Failure error. Any ideas? What am I doing wrong? Also, does a cricket rom for sprint hero exist? Or should I use a Non-Sprint ROM? I mean, it's a sprint hero, but it has been flashed. Thanks Everyone!

This has nothing to do with Development.

...sorry, i thought...
I'm not sure where else to post it. I thought it did, since the rooting guides and roms are posted under Development.

Would the General are be more appropriate? I'm not trying to post in the wrong places. But I don't want to post there and get the same response. lol, Just need help. Not looking to tick anyone off.

Thanks Jus10o. I'll try that. Sometimes I miss windows mobile. Lol, flashing android is a pain.

I came from WinMo as well. Trust me, once you get the hang of it, it's easier and faster than RUUing every time.

Okay, I tried the above. Here's what I happened. I am rooted (i think). I used a file explorer to to backup the recovery image. It said it was successful. Then I rebooted into the Recovery Menu. Still looks like the stock one. Three lines of options with blue fonts. I try updating the image from there, but all I get is "Can't open /cache/recovery/command". fustrated, It sucks to be a noob all over again.

I forgot to mention, I also did a factory reset before trying to write the image as suggested in the instructions.

Thread moved.

ROFL ROFL ROFL You GO Girl! What rock have you been under? I do nothing BUT help in these forums. Also, I DID tell the OP they posted in the wrong section. Im pretty sure when I said "This has nothing to do with Development." that meant he posted in the wrong section. By the way, the mods made everyone the CDMA Hero Police. Apparently, you cant read the forum rules and guidelines either. Here, let me help you,

Look everyone, don't get at each other like that. It's not cool. Lol, it's okay. I really didn't know. I mean, the fact that the rooting section was here, I thought it was okay to post here. But hey, it's in the right place now. I understand the forums can't be trashed with everything posted everywhere. Lol, really it's cool.

Dont boot into recovery, just boot up your phone and do this....
Put the New recovery image on your sdcard, by either opening it up on your computer. Or put the file into your c:/android-sdk/tools folder and type this
adb push NameOfRecovery.img /sdcard/ (make sure you name recovery the exact name as it appears on your computer or rename it to just "recovery" so its easy to remember)
once its on your sdcard and your phone is on charge only.. Not mounted to the computer type this
adb shell
cd /sdcard/
flash_image recovery NameOfRecovery.img

Okay, I think I know what the prob is now. Even if it's not the prob, it will have to be fixed. I have the wrong stock image. I have v1.56 which I think blocks rooting. Trying to downgrade. Thanks Everyone

[Q] Unable to Chmod my galaxy tab. SGH-T849

Hi,
I get through this with my eye's closed but when I have to type in the chmod line,and hit enter, it says, "unable to chmod : / Read-Only file system / I've asked this on many different forms, and researched it and tried a lot of code to fix it, none of witch worked, so now I'm just asking strait out if anyone knows how I can fix this, It's done this on 2 separate computers so It's doubtful that it's a PC problem.
Thanks for reading this and perhaps helping me, I'm about to rip my hair out, lol,
Kn0t

Wait what?
So it's rooted tab yeah and your? Terminal or abd? Into the system. So you have super user rights huh? And the system files are mounted as read/write? If you said yes to these questioned which I assume you will as it sounds like you are savvy with permissions and how android mounts its system files from the "eyes closed" part then its a new one on me, I have never heard of this problem?
Oh and what kernel you running? is it gingerbread or froyo?
Sent from my GT-P1000

Don't forget to grant superuser its permissions. Check if the app is asking for it. Perform adb with tab on, superuser will pop up.
I felt for that couple of times.

Anyway use root explorer navigate into //system/ and there will be a button on the top to mount the system read/write. Then long press your file and select the permissions you want. Hit the same. Button as before to remount as read only and your away..

No having super user rights doesn't mean you can write or change system files per say.. you first need the system mounted read/write which as a super user you do have the rights to....
So yes su is important but I suspect the issue here is the way the system is mounted...
Sent from my GT-P1000

And lastly I'm thinking this doesn't qualify to be in the development section bud .. its a little cause and general and should be in General section not Here.
Sorry but its out of control on these boards.... these threads shouldn't be in the development section unless you are developing something or are replying to a development thread about, well.... a development ... or finally, ahhhhh....ummm, bah... development... just had to say it one more time and couldn't get a third reason... I don't want to be harsh or you think I'm flaming you its just my 2 cents....

You're trying to write data to a partition mounted as read only.
To mount the system partition so you can write to it, simple issue this command:
mount -o remount,rw /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system
And of course to mount it back to read only again:
mount -o remount,ro /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system

i have a SGH-T849..
i want to carrier unlock it.. also i couldn't find the dialer & the messaging application in the phone.. so wanted to know how to make voice calls & send messages in it??
Sorry for the bad English & for being a noob

it's adb,, and I have super permissions, yes and it says it's a Read-only file system when I go to write my chmod. The "eye's closed" part of my post was just me being sarcastic about the amount of phones I've done this too and the amount of time I've done it with zero problems.. that's all.

Yup, I did that.. thanks a lot for the advice..!!

Thanks a lot for this advice, I tried it and got a message that says, "System permissions cannot be changed because the file system is Read-only"
Thanks again, it was worth a try.

quick question....
When do I enter that into my command prompt? right before I try to chmod or right after????
thanks a lot

Whoops, I thought the file you were chmod'ing was in the system partition.
The data partition is already mounted with read/write.
Your chmod command is incorrect... there is an extra space in there.
It should be:
chmod 755 /data/local/bin/flash_image
I don't think the data partition is mounted as read only (I could be wrong, but I didn't think it was)

Flash recovery with adb

Really didn't want to start a new topic, but couldn't find an answer anywhere. I'm trying to flash dg's recovery with adb. When ever I try to push the file I get permission denied. I have su working with adb, and adb is working correctly. What am I doing wrong? Thanks to any one that can help.

I am having the same exact problem you are. I am running windows 7 and even tried cmd and run as admin but that didn't work either. Anyway yea any help would be appreciated. Also yes my phone is rooted and in Debug Mode when trying to push recovery.img.

Hmm, sorry I don't know. Fix permissions maybe, if you can? Stupid little things like making sure usb debugging is on?
Just a heads up, questions belong in a different section ("Q&A for Thrill" if it exists, or general I think), they take that stuff pretty seriously around here, and if you end up reading and learning here for a while, you'll understand why!

switch to your ADB directory (or at a command line if you already set your environment variables) and type adb root then try again. It might work

adb root didn't work. Said adbd cannot run as root in production builds. Also I do have USB Debugging enabled as well as Rooted the device. As for fixing permissions I would need CWM First to be able to get to that option

Do this:
open command prompt and type:
adb shell
su (click allow on phone if prompted)
chmod 777 /data
ls -l (then look at the data directory and it's permissions should now be drwxrwxrwx)
Try it again after that. It's because the /data directory is not set to R/W by default.

It says Mr. Clown is the moderator, and his sticky says not to ask questions. I don't know if I've actually seen him on here though, so I see where you're coming from, the thrill isn't getting much traffic! But you're right, no q&a section.

Oh hey no worries mate. I really couldn't care less, considering how empty Thrill Development is, and I would have came to the same conclusion as you. All I meant to do was give you a heads up that some people get angry about that kind of thing

Well my issue is i cannot get the recovery.img pushed to the phone...ive downloaded it and don't know where to place it for it to send...when i do adb push recovery.img/data it just gives me a list of all the adb commands. I was gonna try to use root explorer and manually push it but i dont know where to place it...any suggestions?

Put the recovery.img in your android-sdk tools folder before you try to push

Hey can one of you guys possibly upload a stock recovery backup. I think mine is borked as I tried to go back to stock and it keeps going into clockworkmod recovery when setting up factory defaults in the stock rom. It would be much appreciated.

OK I'm not trying to be rude here but you started a new thread that is a little misleading in the title to ask for help that you already asked about in the other thread? This is not a novice install... The instructions are clear, if you can't get it installed by following the clear guide... You may not want to install this. Sorry Devs but when you take your time to make CLEAR guides for us... yet people can't follow instructions then spam.It irritates me.

The instructions may be clear, but are almost always only available in English. XDA is international and judging from his sentences, English is probably not his primary language.
It bothers me too when people create pointless threads (esp with misleading titles). I try to imagine myself on a non-English forum, desperate for help. Even with Google translate, I doubt I could make sense of their rules or "clear" guides.

in install progress that ask you must press 0 or 1, after downloading and install kernel of ubuntu , what key must be pressed?
i dont see any line like umount. i see data lose :|
message is this:
Code:
Repartition to create ext3 volume for Ubuntu.
umount: can't umount /media/internal:Invalid argument
Did the pervious line say somthing about not being able umount /media/internal? if so, press 1, otherwise press 0.
DO NOT PRESS 0 IF DID SAY SOMTHING; THIS CAN LEAD TO DATA LOSS! If it did say somthing,reboot and try again.
after reboot i see this line. external memory may be data loss?
