Dj_steve's input... - Dell Streak 7

If someone wants to try this, here ya go:
cat /dev/block/mmcblkXpX > /sdcard/X.img
I am at work right now, but will mess with it when I get home tonight
Here is what I got from dj_steve:
find out the mount points using mount then cat /dev/block/mmcblkXpX > /sdcard/X.img should work
How dif you dump the system and boot images for the streak 7 since it doesnt have mtd? I need to dump the recovery because I am working to get it supported through CWM.

What's need to be done here? And how? Adb, terminal, root explorer?

I have just secured us a DEV! Jaywan from the glacier forums. I made a $50 donation for him to start. So as soon as we get a recovery we can start testing his builds. He said he will port over HC for us. He did it for Team Royal for the MT4G So we now have a dev fellas
NOW LETS GET A CWR GOING!!

yes! At last this is moving!

Sweet. What are you asking for? Adb pull?

Those are unix commands. But that is what adb shell is. Adb shell is a mini unix box. once you have tje shell, run su, then put those commands exactally as it posted

ok. so as dj_steve was saying... we have to find out which block is the one that contains the recovery partition... and then the cat /dev/block/mmcblkXpX > /sdcard/X.img command needs to be given to a specific block where X stands for the block number

Ahhhh makes sense. Im not familiar with linux but i do know adb.

Getting root

Hi!
First post, but I've got a few things nailed down right through searching the forums and various guides and wiki's.
I've managed to install Google ION with firmware v1.5
I've SIM-unlocked the phone, using another carrier works splendid.
The Kernel version i'm using is 2.6.25.00894-g83efb08-dirty
[email protected]
My build number is CRB43
What I'm trying to accomplish here is getting root on the filesystem. I've tried various methods, guides and forum conversation tips but I can't make /system anything else than ro (Read-only).
I have installed Better Terminal from Market.
su and telnetd works perfect, I can connect to the phone using telnet. I'm using telnet to connect to the device, by forwarding ports through ADB.
I have tried using ADB shell to get root as well as telnet.
What I am trying to do is replace my current keymapping from an English one to an edited, åäö-capable one, because it's damn tricky trying to type these characters on the hardware keyboard. I haven't even found a way of typing åäö without replacing the keymap because of very little information about how the keyboard _is_ mapped using Android on the Kaiser.
Please advice wither on how to be able to type åäö characters without having to modify the keymap or give me a heads-up on how I'm supposed to get root on this filesystem, using commands such as;
# mount -o rw,remount /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system
does not give me an error but nothing else is returned either so I can't verify that the command actually executed or did anything to the system. I can however verify that the /system is still ro and still as a cramfs type no matter how I attack this.
Here's my situation on my mounts;
Code:
rootfs on / type rootfs (rw)

[Q] Noob needing help with adb remount!

I have Android SDK on my pc. I got Busybox installed on the phone. when I use command prompt to navigate to \tools directory and i type adb remount, i get the error message of "remount failed: no such file or directory"
Is there something im doing wrong here?
Please help

Hmm, I would help you if I could, but I don't know the steps for changing the boot screen. I haven't had the need for adb remount, sorry.

Just curious if you made sure usb debugging is on.
I've also never used the adb remount, but as for your comment about pushing... push isn't ran from "adb shell"
you should be doing "adb push <file to push> /path/to/where/it/goes/<file>"
Of course this needs root and, in places where the NAND is mounted as read only, you must do the remount option with r/w
There are tons of guides on how to do this on our forum, but I'm too lazy to find them.
The thing is, I'm already rooted so I don't know why I can't do those commands. I will try to mount with "adb remount r/w"?

I get exactly the same thing but can't seem to find any help
I was having a similar issue. Maybe I can help.

At this point, we can see that /system is mounted at /dev/block/stl9. With that knowledge:
Code:
$ su
# mount -o remount,rw /dev/block/stl9 /system
Now your free to do whatever it is you were trying to do. When you're done, don't forget to :
Code:
# mount -o remount,ro /dev/block/stl9 /system
That should do it. Standard disclaimer, not responsible, blah,blah,blah...
How can I add these commands as aliases to the phone's shell?

when you type su into the command prompt, you should get a pop-up on your phone saying unknown is requesting superuser permissions and you need to allow it or you will get denied permission.
Thanks! I passed that.. Now Im confused about whats the next step to push an apk into /system/app. I tried exiting from shell ("exit" twice until I saw C:\Program Files\android-sdk-windows\tools>) and then tried adb push.... but again I got No permission message ..
any advice?

Did you do the "mount -o remount,ro ..." before you exited the shell ? sounds like your still on Read-only .
-First thing copy the .apk app into the sdk tools folder.
-Then do the following
Code:
adb shell
su
mount -o remount,rw /dev/block/stl9 /system
exit
exit
-Now from your windows command prompt in sdk tools folder
adb push my_app.apk /system/app
-Once your finish
adb reboot
After the reboot your /system is returned to it's original read-only state.
Thats exactly what I did..:/ Does shell give you a confirm that you got the rw rights after doing:
mount -o remount,rw /dev/block/stl9 /system??
In my case it only responded with the same line below..

No it wont say anything. After you've done the remount,rw check your mount with "mount" in the shell. The /dev/block/stl9 /system line should read like this.
Code:
/dev/block/stl9 /system rfs [color=green]rw[/color],vfat,llw,check=no,gid/uid/rwx,iocharset=utf8 0 0
rather then
Code:
/dev/block/stl9 /system rfs [color=red]ro[/color],vfat,llw,check=no,gid/uid/rwx,iocharset=utf8 0 0

system dump

Thanks mate. Can you dump boot and recovery as well? Not even sure if you can, but...
I could if I knew where they were. Someone more knowledgeable than I would probably know where they usually are. Unfortunately, I cannot search the device because most standard commands are not available(find, grep, etc.)

Cool. Thanks.
Have you tried adding busybox? Im surprised that the root 'package' didn't include them. I think Titanium Backup will add it for you but not the symlinks AFAIK so you need to prefix each command with busybox. eg:
Code:
busybox chmod +x <file>
it won't let me create a link to /system/bin/ because it's stuck at read only. I created a thread about this already, but does anyone know how to remount /system? I've tried the standard ways and they don't seem to work
This worked for me:
mount -o remount,rw /system
If all else fails, use Root Explorer to remount /system
Just thinking "out loud" here, but would it be fair to say that if someone could extract the boot and recovery images from these google 10.1's that they could be flashed onto a 10.1v with Odin or fastboot and allow the 10.1v to be rooted in the same way as the 10.1g?
That's what I'm hoping

alright, so I have busybox working
but all the tutorials I've found have said to use
cat /proc/mtd
to find out what to pull but for me, it just returns
dev: size erasesize name
also, they say to use
cat /dev/mtd/mtdX > /sdcard/mtdX.img
but /dev/mtd doesn't exist on this device
any ideas what I could be doing wrong?

Stupid question, but you did do a
Code:
su
before running these commands?
Sometimes it's the simple things
it certainly wouldn't be the first time I'd missed something as blatantly obvious as that, but no I did remember this time. That's not to say that I'm not missing something else that should be completely obvious, but I did at least remember to run it as root.

Haha - yeah, Ive certainly been stumped by simpler things than that. Usually success if followed by a facepalm
Really appreciate your persistence with this!
Could you possibly post the output of:
Code:
adb shell mount
and
Code:
adb shell su ls -l /cache
You should see from this output which device is mounted as /cache and how the /cache/recovery is mounted/linked.

or not.. I tried uploading twice and both times it appeared to succeed but they're not showing up. let's try again.
still not working. let's try mediafire

Fantastic! Thanks again.
Downloading now although I just discovered I have blown my 120Gb/month allowance in 14 days so it may take a while to download at 256k
EDIT: smaskell, you are truly a champ! Recovery works on the 10.1v so I now have root!
Will be posting a guide here and asking all to thank smaskell

You need to zip them. XDA only accepts ZIPs and media files for upload. Only discovered this myself yesterday
excellent! just glad I could help =]

[Q] How do I check my phone system file? (RFS or EXT4)

Hi guys,
I still wondering how do I check my current system using RFS or EXT4?
I would like to know how to check either rooted or non-rooted.
Thanks

Depending on what lagfix you have used, either ext4 apk/voodoo toggle apk/boot into recovery/lagfix options

Or you can open the console (for example with Terminal Emulator from the Market) and just type "mount". For me the output is
Code:
rootfs / rootfs ro,relatime 0 0
proc /proc proc rw,relatime 0 0
sys /sys sysfs rw,relatime 0 0
/dev/block/stl9 /system ext4 ro,relatime,barrier=0,data=writeback,noauto_da_alloc 0 0
/dev/block/stl11 /cache ext4 rw,noatime,barrier=0,data=writeback,noauto_da_alloc 0 0
/dev/block/mmcblk0p2 /data ext4 rw,noatime,barrier=1,data=ordered,noauto_da_alloc 0 0
which is
device mountpoint filesystem flags

I think this one good way to check what kind terminal emulator console free, no ad and clean?
What is the difference?
And is there any benefits on using either
How do you check if you have lag fix ?
I have Galnet MIUI installed but not sure if lag fix is in that or if the filesystem has changed (I know I can check as above)
ext4 is better for files >1MB or when we have a lot of apps installed
I'm using the F1 series rom and when I boot into cwm to see whether I have the voodoo lag fix enabled it says it is. So I set in to disabled so that it will disable in the next boot but it never does.
I've been having issues with this rom and want to just do a brand new clean install. How do I convert my fs back to rfs?

Miui based on cm7 which uses yaffs= no need for lagfix

But still, how can I find out if I have RFS or ext4 on my phone?
Sry for the question, but I couldn' find the answer
- enable USB debugging on the phone
- download adb Windows binary
- connect phone
- start "adb shell" in cmd window
- type "mount"

8GB partition spacing?

I've heard that on a 8GB model, only 5.9 is free to use, is this increased with custom ROMs, etc?
I'm looking at the 8GB model, and 5.9 is a bit low, but 6.5+ would be fine.
Or is this an obvious question?
I know a lot are suggesting the 16GB but cheaper is cheaper and I don't watch movies locally or save music locally.
Prime use would be web browsing late at night or reading articles.

I devs mess with the partitions like the nexus one. It probably will happen.

There is usually some free space in the system partition you can move some apps to to move some data there. Titanium Backup can do this or there is an app called apps2rom. Some apps don't like this though but this can be easily fixed by moving back to a user app.

16gb N7 UK ordered 3rd July, No info since first order confirmation.
I just figured you could change it to where you had access to the whole partition to put whatever we wanted there.

I just know 5.9GB is all you have right out of the box.

so where do you propose they install the actual SYSTEM ROM?

I didn't figure that took over 2GB.

8gb isnt going to format out to exactly 8gb
as you can see, you have some partitions eating up a bit of space
/system is roughly 670mb
/cache is around 450mb
/dev is 500mb
do the math....
I know 8GB never equals 8GB, I was just seeing where the space was going.
