Not sure if this is the correct category, but here goes my problem:
I'm following the instructions on wiki.cyanogenmod.com/index.php?title=HTC_Tattoo:_Full_Update_Guide
And now I am stuck at step 7 under Rooting the HTC Tattoo.
The first problem occurs after entering exit:
This line appears repeatedly
usage: reboot [-n] [-p] [rebootcommand]
So I had to close down the command window and start it again. And the next problem appears after entering this line:
while 'true' ; do ./m7 ; done
Same thing again, I have to close the command window and start again. After entering adb shell again I try with entering chown root.root su as it says and this line appear:
chown root.root su
Unable to chmod su: Operation not permitted
Does anyone know what to do from here?
There is a problem with the update guide. Dont follow it, I reported this problem long back in the CyanogenMod forums, but no one corrected it.
Get the 1-click root method with clockworkmod 3.0.0.5 by nTenisOT, its the best rooting option. It also installs clockworkmod recovery.
Also, you could try Universal Androot, but if u root with this, you need to insert the tattoo-hack.ko module before flashing custom recovery manually.

Hi,
Trying to figure out why media scanner service is running all the time, draining my battery I came accross this error in logcat:
Code:
W/MediaScanner( 2774): Error opening directory '/storage/sdcard0/.android_secure/', skipping: Permission denied.
I tried fixing permissions, and it still happens.
I tried changing permissions, in order to make media scanner work without errors, by running:
Code:
chmod 777 /storage/sdcard0/.android_secure
which resulted in the following error:
Code:
Unable to chmod /storage/sdcard0/.android_secure: Read-only file system
I'm running slim bean 2.7 on my i9000 sgs.
Any idea how to resolve this issue?

Looking for something else and saw this old post. For future reference, just create a she'll script in /system/xbin and use busybox to run a short script with umask=0000 and the remount sdcard0 and probably extSdCard also just to be safe until it's figured out. Can use managers or taskbomb to run it...
Hello guys, i post this cuz i have no way just to ask you,
i have CM11-13012014Nightly and Semaphore KK 3.4.0s
i tried all the ways to enable Log Setting
Code:
Dial this: *#*#2846579#*#*
Service menu will appear.
Go to "ProjectMenu" -> "Background Setting" -> "Log Setting"
Open "Log switch" and set it to ON.
Open "Log level setting" and set the log level you wish.
Reboot the phone.
the number is not work
Code:
Open: /system/etc/init.d/××× （not the same file on different ROMs, find the right file）
Find the line that says: rm /dev/log/main
Change the line to: # rm /dev/log/main (comments out the line, rm = remove, in case you were wondering)
Save and reboot
not work- i found nothing
Code:
[IMG]http://i.stack.imgur.com/Ly4M1.jpg[/IMG]
Restart and the logcat should be working
Code:
Open up CMD or Terminal and type:
adb shell

First of all, wrong section.
Secondly, you need to load the logger module, by insmod system/lib/modules/logger.ko.

Logged module have to be loaded during early boot in order to work properly. You have to enable it in Semaphore manager (logger option) and reboot your phone.

I've got a freshly installed Magisk v14, with manager 5.6.0, running on an Oukitel K10 with Android 7.1.1.
Version 15+ of Magisk causes a boot loop on this device, so I'm stuck on 14.
Anyway, installing downloaded Magisk modules from the zip file, or from the Downloads section in the manager, I get logs like:
Code:
- Copying zip to temp directory
- Installing Emoji_one-v1.311.zip
- Mounting /system, /vendor, /data, /cache
! Unable to extract zip file!
Failed!
! Installation failed
The MagiskManager directory does exist. I also deleted it and let the manager recreate it by downloading the magisk zip again. No change.
What can I do?
Might be an issue with unzip. Try if installing the Busybox module from the Downloads section works, and if it does, try installing modules again (after rebooting).
Installing BusyBox worked, but even after a reboot I get the same result when attempting to install other stuff. Also, BusyBox is listed under "Update Available" in the downloads section even though I already installed 1.27.2, twice.

That most likely means it did not work. Post the install log from installing the Busybox module.
Hm. Yes, the log doesn't seem as fine.

Might be an issue with your Magisk installation or a device thing, hard to say....
Have you tried installing a zip through recovery? If you can install the Busybox module in recovery it might fix things.

I have not tried that. I currently have the stock recovery flashed. So I guess this means flashing TWRP, then flashing Busybox, and perhaps also attempting to flash Magisk itself through the recovery?
Hopefully I got that right. I'm a bit new to this.

You don't have to install TWRP, you can just boot it:
Code:
fastboot boot recovery twrp.img
I attempted to install both Magisk and Busybox from TWRP, and while the Magisk installer seems to run fine, I get to allow root access to stuff in Android afterwards and I get the Magisk Manager and such, I still can't install Busybox. Also, it seems from the log that Magisk itself is also having some issues the UI isn't telling me about.
The main issue seems to be the following error:
Code:
I:[MTP] MtpServer::run fd: 26
E:[MTP] got unsupported command UNKNOWNE:[MTP] response write returned -1, errno: 19, exiting MtpServer::run loop
Searching Google for the above error returns very little help.
I pasted the entire log here, from me booting TWRP and attempting to install Magisk and Busybox a few times. The Busybox installer claims Magisk isn't installed.
I can't post links yet, so this is code:

hello,
Very simple solution for me at least.
i found this thread because the same thing just happened to me on g900t s5 running lineageOS. Magisk said couldnt extract Zip everytime.
My problem i believe was that i installed busybox from Apkpure and not playstore
Because when i uninstalled Busybox from apkpure then installed busybox from playtore the unzip errors are gone!
Maybe its because i has a bad copy of busybox?
Idk but that was the solution for me!
Hope this helps someone
Me helps install again magisk by twrp.
Install the es file explorer once and extract the zip at least once, It will show a list of programs by which to extract, select es file extractor and check the always button now go back to the magisk manager and try again you should be good to go.
magisk zip
My problem solved by typing real path.
I was use command to install a module using this code
Code:
twrp install sdcard/module.zip
Give an error, so i change to
Code:
twrp install /sdcard/module.zip
Everything ok.

Hi All,
Device Detail:
- Samsung S10 5G
- Qualcomm Device
- Model: SM-G977U
- ROM: VZW-G977UVRU2ASH7-20190827135903
- Kernel-Version - Linux version 4.14.83-16633035 ([email protected]) (clang version 6.0.10 for Android NDK) #2 SMP PREEMPT Wed Aug 14 16:23:48 KST 2019
Background: I have
- rooted the device with instructions given by Magisk.
- I can successfully reboot to the recovery rootfs.
Problem: I am trying to modify the `system.img.ext4.lz4` file to root the device with normal boot. I am aware that it will not let the device install OTA Updates.
Unpack-Pack System and make new AP.tar, flash:
- Without any modification to the `system.img`, I have just unpacked `system.img.ext4.lz4`->`system.img.ext4`->`system.img`->mounted to system directory and packed it back to `system.img`->`system.img.ext4`->`system.img.ext4.lz4`.
- Replaced unpack-packed `system.img.ext4.lz4` with the AP `system.img.ext4.lz4` and make a tar of it.
- Then I have flashed it using Odin v3.13 along with BL, CP, and HOME_CSC.
- Odin has show PASS and I have rebooted the device into recovery mode.
- Done the Wipe data/factory reset and reboot to recovery again but released the recovery key combination on splash screen as mentioned in the root instructions .
- The device stuck in a boot loop.
Tries:
1. Disable Dm-verity
- Removed `avb` flag from `boot.img` with
Code:
magiskboot dtb boot.img patch
- Removed `avb` and `verify` flags from `dtbo.img` with
Code:
magiskboot dtb dtbo.img patch
- Patched `ramdisk.cpio` with
Code:
magiskboot cpio ./initrd 'patch false true'
Patched `boot.img` and `dtbo.img` is working fine with magisk patched AP file but the `ramdisk.cpio` creating the issue: Stuck at splash screen when trying to go to recovery after successfully flash with Odin. Download mode is appearing on splash screen.
So, I have used `boot.img` and `dtbo.img` along with unpack-packed `system.img.ext4.lz4` but the result is still a boot loop. I have also tried a combination of `boot.img` and `dtbo.img` along with unpack-packed `vendor.img.ext4.lz4` and flashed the AP.tar with other files but still the result is a boot loop.
So, I want to debug the problem and got to know about `pstore` which preserve the logs when kernel panic.
2. pstore
- Checked that `/sys/fs/pstore` is mounted by the system with following in init file: Grep the pstore using `find . | grep '\.rc' | xargs cat | grep pstore -n -i` and get following result:
Code:
314: # pstore/ramoops previous console log
315: mount pstore pstore /sys/fs/pstore nodev noexec nosuid
316: chown system log /sys/fs/pstore/console-ramoops
317: chmod 0440 /sys/fs/pstore/console-ramoops
318: chown system log /sys/fs/pstore/console-ramoops-0
319: chmod 0440 /sys/fs/pstore/console-ramoops-0
320: chown system log /sys/fs/pstore/pmsg-ramoops-0
321: chmod 0440 /sys/fs/pstore/pmsg-ramoops-0
- Checked the kernel config by pulling the file from /proc/config.gz.
Code:
$ cat config | grep PSTORE
CONFIG_PSTORE=y
CONFIG_PSTORE_ZLIB_COMPRESS=y
# CONFIG_PSTORE_LZO_COMPRESS is not set
# CONFIG_PSTORE_LZ4_COMPRESS is not set
CONFIG_PSTORE_CONSOLE=y
CONFIG_PSTORE_PMSG=y
CONFIG_PSTORE_PMSG_SSPLOG=y
CONFIG_PSTORE_RAM=y
- Check the `ramoops` configuration:
Code:
./sys/module/ramoops/parameters/console_size 262144
./sys/module/ramoops/parameters/dump_oops 1
./sys/module/ramoops/parameters/ecc 0
./sys/module/ramoops/parameters/ftrace_size 262144
./sys/module/ramoops/parameters/mem_address 3241148416
./sys/module/ramoops/parameters/mem_size 1048576
./sys/module/ramoops/parameters/mem_type 0
./sys/module/ramoops/parameters/pmsg_size 262144
./sys/module/ramoops/parameters/record_size 262144
`pstore` setup looks fine but when I am trying the get logs from `sys/fs/pstore` then I found nothing.
I have tried it by two ways:
1. Crash manually with panic kernel using:
Code:
echo 1 > /proc/sys/kernel/sysrq
echo c > /proc/sysrq-trigger
Followed Reading Kernel Logs
2. Flashing non-working rom that cause a boot loop and then flashed a working ROM with rooting steps and checked the file at `sys/fs/pstore`.
I need a favor in:
- Any steps to fix/debug the `pstore` problem?
- Any other way to find the kernel logs?
Update 1: I get the logs from recovery but I am not able to identify the problem.
Logs link: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1b-XNmjpYvH-L8lY0xA0SYr7XcITVCrVS/view?usp=sharing
Description: In this video, I have done the following:
1. Displayed recovery logs before: The last recovery logs are ends with 8.
2. Rebooted the device with a recovery key combination. I have already wipe data partition before making this video.
3. The boot loop happens and in the next reboot, I have pressed the recovery key combination to open the recovery mode where logs that end with 9 displayed.
4. Then I have recorded `last_history`, `last_avc_message_recovery`, `last_log.9` and `last_kmsg.9`
5. `last_history` and `last_avc_message_recovery` looks unchanged(same as before boot loop).
6. Then, I just have tried to mount the system but that didn't work.
7. At last, I have just rebooted the system normally without any recovery key combination.

Is anyone have experience in detecting problems from the kernel logs?
i can not help you, but we can collect ideas. what about re-sign the system.img? there is a key somewhere, i guess just deleting won't work but maybe it is possible to calculate checksum
or maybe you can switch to SuperSU 2.79 SR3 (latest release from chainfire) or at least look inside the update-binary shell script how to root system.
regarding dm-verity i would start with searching for "verify" flag in your fstabs and remove it. magisk is also doing some hex patches and re-signing, it's the best source to look inside magisk installer zip update-binary/ updater-script, if you have the knowledge to read code
another option is try to port a twrp recovery from another snapdragon (i wonder if somebody did this already) if you can find a porting guide

I don't want to be the one who shouts fake, but the instructions you gave a link to says you have to be able to flash a bootloader first, which means an unlocked blootloader, if you have Verizon rom this is not possible, as the blootloader is locked.
If you did find a way to flash a modified bootloader, or a modified recovery those are the instructions we need, because in fastboot you are unable to do this with a locked bootloader and you are unable to unlock the bootloader on Verizon. If you have a modified bootloader or recovery flashed on your device what did you use to flash it with Odin? Because only way to flash a boot.img is either get into download mode and flash with Odin, or with Edl, if you got into edl mode then can you provide instructions on that, because we would like to know how to get the device into EDL mode as well
Sorry boys this is a hoax.
@DroidisLINUX there is video proof in OP, and again for you:
This is not a tutorial about unlocking and rooting, it is a question how he can modify /system to permanently integrate su
