Ever since I switched from JF 1.51 to rooted TMO 1.6, my SU app has been broken. It just hangs while staying black and eventually force closes. As you can imagine, this is a big hassle because I can't give any apps permission.
Does anyone have a solution? Thanks.

Are you sure you didn't load the wrong rom and you lost root?

Uhh, yeah. I have root, all the apps id already given permission to still work. Its new ones that do not.
Have you tried to push su back or run enable superuser to see if that will help?

I don't know what either of those means. If you could provide some instructions (terminal commands, etc) that would be great.
Thanks in advance.
Try this first.
Code:
turn on your phone by holding the home+end(power) key
press alt+x to enter the recovery console and then press enter when it asks you
next type:
mount data
rm /data/data/com.koushikdutta.superuser/databases/superuser.sqlite
if you have the problem where it says this file does not exist, type:
rm /data/data/koushikdutta.superuser/databases/superuser.sqlite
Alright, I will try that in a little while when I am at a computer. Thanks

Also in the mean time you can try the superuser whitelist in the market to see if that will work.
Hey, formatting my SD card seems to have fixed it, but thanks for the help.
no problem
so i managed to root my g1....now when i install apps how do i know that its installing in the memory card and not the phone memory
2:what are the full advantages of rooting
3:anythin i should know since i did my rootin
1. Type in terminal
Code:
busybox df -h
and look in your /system/sd, if any of it used - then you're doing it right.
2. Tethering, apps2sd, Ram swap, overclocking, different roms, etc,
3. Search before asking, google is your friend, post in the right forum (which you did). You can figure out everything else else.
Good luck.

I get permission denied
what do you get if you type
Code:
su
and which rom are on you?

Allow it (and check the mark to always to it, you'll get sick of allowing it every time).
See if works
Code:
su
busybox df-h
This is weird though....this does not modify anything else... just gives you the output of your partitions.... works for me without su prompt.

Which rom did you flash once you rooted your phone? This will determine if you have busybox utility (which is helpfull)
OK.... here's another one
Code:
ls /system/sd/app
ls /data/app
That will give you a list of apps installed in each partition (/data/app is internal, /system/sd/app is external)
Doesn't quite give you the size or free space in each but gives you at least some idea of where your apps are going.
Good luck.

i flashed the generic rom from unlockr
So it may not have that utility... sorry I'm not about to look through that whole website just to find out. And it's not a big deal for most people anyway. I'm sure you will not be on that rom too long anyway .

Subject largely says it all. ADB is running fine through terminal, but when I run the adb devices command, no results are returned. Trying to run the install script to get the market up and running.
Any help? And the old cliches ring true here "I've searched, and failed" for quite some time. The only similar result I've seen on here just wound up "working" for someone.
Cheers.
ADB wasn't recongnizing my Nook Color either so I downloaded the adbWireless app from the marketplace. Hope this helps!

Unfortunately until i have an adb connection, i cannot install the market, which is a shame considering i really enjoy the HC preview.
When had the same problem w nook color running CM7, somebody told me to put 0x2080 in .android/adb_usb.ini. it worked first time I tried. Next day, it did not. After I checked off Stay Awake (under Application,Development), it works since.
Well why dont you use the terminal that -should- be on the HCv4... you can use busybox to push and do other things...
What are you trying to do?

Just use Auto-nooter and you'll get the market

I appreciate the attempts to help, guys - but I did think I made it somewhat clear in the OP that I was trying to load the market via the widely circulated ADB script. I don't know if busybox is an option - and Auto-nooter is definitely not.
Regardless, thanks again - and I did just decide to go with the flashable HcV4 as it included the market and gapps bundle. Now if only we can get that new fangled gmail up and running... though I know that's wishful thinking at the moment.
I had this exact same problem. No matter what I tried, I couldn't get ADB to work on my MacBook with HC v4. So I booted into Windows using parallel and that worked, so I have been using windows thus far to ADB into the Nook
Hi!
Last 48h I've been digging forums for an answer. Is it possible to partition SD Card in Milestone using "parted" and THIS guide?
The problem comes with one little thing:
Code:
C:\Users\DrNO>adb shell
Milestone-Recovery:/
# parted /dev/block/mmcblk0
parted /dev/block/mmcblk0
bash: parted: command not found
Milestone-Recovery:/
# exit
After sleepless night I'm richer in knowledge that (probably) parted is not included in AOR (it's 3.3 that I'm using) [as zeppelinrox posted HERE]
OK, 51dusty used CM recovery, I've tried CMR2.5.0.7, with little success. Maybe I've used it the wrong way but hey!... First I had trouble finding it, then tried to install/flash it through "ROM Manager 4.x", ok it said that's done, reboot into recovery > "Error". Then I looked into the package it looked like an "update" to apply in AOR. It worked, but "adb shell" freezes, it unfreezes after closing CMR. wtf... it was 3 a.m.
1. Am I doing something wrong?
2. Is it possible to implement "parted" in AOR
3. Is it possible to use mentioned above guide on Milestone?
The reason is to part SD "the right way" and split it: FAT32+EXT2(3)+SWAP
Please, help
You can't have swap on Milestone.
And... that's the guide that I used as well... I made a step by step post about it... see my Handy Dandy Fixes thread I linked to it in there... I think I called it "The Hard Way" but ended up being fun...
Oh... and it took me a whole weekend to get it right!
ok, i'll try that anyway, also I'll try to "mount" swap using app called "A2SDGUI", it did miracles with ext2 and it has swap initialing capabilities. when I try to punch it, it flashes short text for half a sec, something about not finding suitable partition, if I get it right, it might work...
two additional Qs:
1. call me retarded but where do I find proper "parted"?
2. is there a windows app that can part disk and make not only ext but swap too? currently I don't have any linux system running, I could install one or make live CD but it would be only for one thing only so I think that you can understand my lazyness ;P

thank you Sir for those above and more that I've already read around forum search module is not so great as I thought, because it never returned that post withw "parted".
will report soon how's the battle evolving...
Good luck.
ok then...
parted worked, SD8GB splited nicely:
FAT32 7,25GB
EXT3 512MB
SWAP 32GB
that was easy
next thing "apps2ext", reinstalled Darktremor script, restored ext2 backup, worked, mounted FAT, copied backup, reboot, OS did't even noticed any change (except cutting ext2 by a half and upgrading to ext3, in a good way). then swap. first i've tried some apps, like DroidSwap (only FC's), then Swapper2, which found swap partition, but is still limited by the "f" kernel. formating went OK, (un)mounting part. FAILed. then I've started messing arround > in short, bricked soft :] nothing serious, only /system could not mount, thank you nandroid you exist. now I'm back to the point after spliting SD, having Firefox weighting something like 0.8GB in memory with opened tabs about swap vs milestone. after much reading I'll try more serious approach, more digging, lower coding, no apps, console yes, wish me luck.
quick question, people keep saying linux-swap on milestone is not possible, therefore why are you still including it?
I believe it's possible but the commands the set it up / use it are unknown. It doesn't follow the standard "linux way".
Someone please correct me if I'm wrong.
Swap relies on the kernel being compiled with CONFIG_SWAP. Unfortunately for us, Motorola did not enable swap in the kernels they release. Coupled with the kernel verification scheme, we are unable to swap the kernel with one that has CONFIG_SWAP enabled.
If you do a mkswap and swapon on Milestone, you'd get "Not Implemented". So, swap support is not possible. I'd like to be proven wrong though.

swap enable = impossible, dude..
If you read some threads at droidforums, alot of guys don't use swap anyway as it kills the sd card quicker.
Compcache is more interesting... you can squeeze more apps in the same amount of free ram via compression.
The debate is that it takes time to uncompress the app from ram when it's recalled but ram is fast and it would be even faster with a V6 under the hood lol
SWAP is impossible, because motorola kernel don't support it. So, as long as we can't compile our own kernel on Motorola Milestone, this will remain impossible.

Hey everyone!
I am new to everything about android and just rooted my phone a couple weeks ago. I want to install the decrapified rom burin not 100% sure how to do it. I need CWM to do this right? Can I get back to my original rom if I don't like it or something goes wrong? I also hear some users talking about backing up the device. How do we do this? I know that there are lots of questions and I know some person (maybe two lol) could point me in the right direction. Thank you!

1 yes, you need cwm to put decrapified
2 once u install cwm, make sure ur battery is full (at least 50%, but i'll just say full) and make a backup using cwm of ur current system

Awesome thanks. Now I cant get the adb shell to work. ive done it on my dads phone before so im kinda familiar with it but the sdk still seems to be updating or whatever. Should it work when its finished?
Like when I type "adb devices" it says nothing can be found.
What operating system is ur computer on? Make sure you have installed the LG drivers if Windows.. also, doesn't hurt to be up to date w the sdk...

Running windows 7 sdk updated drivers installed.
Im typing
cd C:\android-sdk\tools\
adb devices
nothing pops up. It says it isnt recognized?
1. install and update adb sdk.
2. Plug your phone in and install the drivers so it is recognized by windows as the revolution.
3. once 1 and 2 are done set your phone to internet only and turn on debugging.
4. now try adb

Make sure your screen is on when you type su so you can accept super user permission on your phone.

If you are copying it in Windows, copy it to the drive marked "internal." If not, then this is telling you that file isn't on your sdcard. You need to move it there.
Its in the internal. Should it go in a folder? What about the fact that it says no space left on device?
I have plenty of space?

It shouldn't need to go in a folder. The error message about space is normal (expected).
