help with user.conf

can someone give me a tutorial on how to update the user.conf..i have looked at the compcache threads and linux swap but im not getting it...i want to be able to update it through terminal emulator and do i have to do nething to the userinit.sh if i change the user.conf...because numerous configs i have done for swappiness and linux swap...etc, have shown no difference..can somone give me a walkthrough...thanks so much..sry if i have a lot of questions just want to make myself more knowledgeable so i can hopefully return the favor to somone else one day

i do not know if you can edit it through the terminal sorry. i do know that you do not have to change the userinit.sh if you change user.conf, also i do know that you can open it up with PSPad (thats what i use) on a computer edit it there and push it back to phone and reboot. sorry i couldn't answer all of your questions

well i have had no problems editing it...its just putting it back nd making sure it works..now i have no problem using adb if u know of a tutorial to use it on mac...or know how to use it on mac

when you put it back on the phone did you make sure to chmod 755 it after you put it back on the phone and reboot?
then to text it with adb just type adb shell sh /system/sd/userinit.sh -s and see if the new values you put in are reflected in the output of that command

this applies to tools and location of user.conf on cyanogen's roms ->
-transfer it to the root of your sdcard from your pc or mac to the g1.
-unmount sdcard from dropdown on the g1
-open up terminal on the g1
type and hit enter afterwards: cp /sdcard/user.conf /system/sd
type and hit enter afterwards: dos2unix /system/sd/user.conf
type and hit enter afterwards: chmod 664 /system/sd/user.conf
type and hit enter afterwards: exit
reboot

see this is my problem..it does not find it in system/sd...it is in system/bin so am i suppsed to copy it back to /system/bin or system/sd
and can someon explain what the difference is between chmod 664 and chmod 755 nd why i should do them

i think chmod 755 gives it read/write permissions. do not know about 664. try putting it in system/sd with adb then chmod 755 it and see if that works

775 = rwx-rwx-rx. conf file does not need executable in u-g nor x in o groups.
664 = rw-rw-r
if it is in /system/bin do this:
open up terminal
dos2unix /sdcard/user.conf
su
mount -o remount,rw -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system
cp /sdcard/user.conf /system/bin
chmod 664 /system/bin/user.conf
mount -o remount,ro -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system
exit
exit

[ROOTING] The M7 Exploit + Newbie Guide

To be honest, I'm a nice guy, but when threads get filled with utter "OMG, How do I root?" posts, I get pissed off. I don't mean to backseat moderate or anything, I just really get fed up sometimes. Hence, I've broken out the hardcore side of myself, and I present:
Coburn's (mostly) failproof rootmeplz kthxbai tutorial, featuring the awesome m7 exploit.
YOU CANNOT USE THIS ROOT GUIDE TO INSTALL ANDROID 2.0.x/2.1/2.x AT THIS MOMENT IN TIME. PLEASE DO NOT ASK IF YOU CAN INSTALL ANDROID 2.x USING ROOT, AT THIS STAGE IT'S A BIG FAT NO! THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION!!
Alright.
Easy to understand, plain english guide
Download the ZIP file attached to this post. Extract the files to a safe location - perhaps C:\Tattoo ?
Now, you'll need adb for windows. You can get it from my website's server here: ADB for windows.
Make sure your device is in USB Debug Mode (Settings > Applications > Development). This is ESSENTIAL!
Extract all the files in the adb4win zip file to your C:\Tattoo folder.
Now, go to Command Prompt. In XP, it's under System Tools in Accessories. In Vista/7, it'll be under accessories.
Do the following at the command line:
C:\Users\Coburn> cd C:\Tattoo
This will change your working directory from C:\Users\Coburn (or silimar) to C:\Tattoo .
Now, at the command line, do this:
C:\Tattoo> adb-windows shell "mkdir /data/local/bin" (with the quotes!).
This makes a directory on the Tattoo under /data/local, called bin. If you get a error (like mkdir failed, file/folder exists), this is fine! Don't sweat it.
Now, run this command:
C:\Tattoo> adb-windows push m7 /data/local/bin/m7
...and wait until finish.
Run this:
C:\Tattoo> adb-windows shell "cd /data/local/bin && chmod 755 ./m7" (with the quotes!)
This allows you to run the sucker.
Now, the fun part. Run this:
C:\Tattoo> adb-windows shell
This will dump you at a "$" shell. do the following:
C:\Tattoo> adb-windows shell
$ cd /data/local/bin
$ while ./m7 ; do : ; done
...lotsa text will flow down your screen. This is normal. Sometimes the exploit causes adb to freeze up, I don't know. I think it may be due to the exploit. It worked on my mac fine though...
Soon, you'll be greeted with this:
#
This is the root prompt! If you get stuff like this:
# usage: reboot ...
usage: reboot ....
usage: reboot ...
Just keep your cool, press enter and the # will say "Boo" again. This is due the exploit spawning reboots to gain the shell.
Then, do these commands from this thread's first post:
-bm- and the hax0rs crew said:
You did it, you should be root now!
Let's set some variables:
Code:
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/system/lib
export PATH=/system/bin
[...] check if ur root:
Code:
id
You should get something like this:
Code:
# id
uid=0(root) gid=1000(shell) groups=1003(graphics),1004(input),1007(log),1011(adb),1015(sdcard_rw),3001(net_bt_admin),3002(net_bt),3003(inet)
uid=0(root) is important.

Click to collapse
When you get this:
C:\Tattoo> adb-windows shell
$ cd /data/local/bin
$ while ./m7 ; do : ; done
[... lotsa pasta ...]
#
You can do anything then! Look at /system, /data, etc etc. You're broken free, my friend, and you'll forever be free. Until you press that exit button. you didn't. You didn't press that exit button? lolwut u did? Grrrrrrr!!!
EDIT: Added Guide to remount partitions. It's below.
Now you need to install su. Exit your root shell (via CTRL+C) (NO, Coburn, are you serious? ME LOSE ROOT SHELL?! ) and download this su.zip and extract it to C:\Tattoo. DO NOT EXIT THE COMMAND PROMPT WINDOW.
Meanwhile, back at the ranch, in your command prompt window, do this:
C:\Tattoo> adb-windows push su /data/local/bin/su
Then break out a shell...
C:\Tattoo> adb-windows shell
at the $ prompt, enter:
$ chmod 755 /data/local/bin/su
$ cd /data/local/bin/
..run the exploit again via "while 'true' ; do ./m7 ; done" to get root again then enter ...
# chown root.root /data/local/bin/su
# chmod 4755 /data/local/bin/su
# mount -o rw,remount /dev/block/mtdblock5 /data
# mount -o rw,remount /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system (This line allows you to play around with files on the system partition!)
After that, you can exit out of the root shell, and try a normal shell and this:
$ /data/local/bin/su
...which should make you get a nice # prompt. (Sometimes it doesn't, for me it got su: permission denied, wtf?)
(End SU Part of guide)
Tested on Windows 7. Also works on a phone terminal emulator too!
Keep your cool peeps - I do this for fun, I'm not a fulltime android dev. I am an addict though.
Happy rootin my friends.
Cheers,
Tattoo Hacker Coburn.
Greets fly out to the geeks that hacked it originally - without you, I'd have got a nexus one.
Thanks for marsdroid for correcting an error. Kudos to you, bro!
"ANDROID - It's a virus. In a Good Way. Once it's in your system, you can't get rid of it."

You should also add the "su" part in order to get root easier after the first time. Otherwise you have to do the exploit every time you want #

You could also add an explanation on how to remount the partitions without nosuid, so that a suid su can work.

Problem copying files to system partition after successfull rooting
Hi
The device was rooted successfully (from the first time using m7)
But I have very strange problem.
I try to update some files in the /system (updating fonts in /system/fonts).
I successfully run following command to remount system with rw permissions
/system/bin/mount -o rw,remount /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system
But when I try to copy files to /system/fonts I get "not enough memory" error.
If I run "df" command it shows that /system has 14% free before write attempt
But if I run "df" command after the write attempt I see that there is no free space.
It looks like there is some protection mechanism that prevents copying files to /system partition.
Does any one has an idea how to solve it?
Thanks

The problem is well known an jet we have got no explanation. It looks like an additional security system build in by HTC. That is what also prevents us from flashing Custom ROMS at the moment. Development goes on here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=631540&page=18 but there is no solution or explanation until now.
-bm-

Could it be that it seems to be that the driver (yaffs) is possibly trying to copy /system into memory, and then reflash the partition all at once (to prevent NAND/NOR tear and wear)?

this guide is in error and will for sure not work ...
you should post probberly ...specially now when things is working....

[MOD] v0.3.1 Working Full Ubuntu for 1.5.7 and 1.8.3 based on Sogarth's script

Sogarth's webtop2sd will be released soon, you really should wait and install that instead of this! Thanks -The Management
No longer breaks on 1.83, thanks to Romracer
Update: This script worked on my phone. Mind you I was installing it from a fresh SBF flash, but it should work on your phone too. Absolutely no guarantees as usual.
Update 11th April 2011, 06:59 PM: Won't be getting CWM package because it'd be huuuuuuuuuge.
Update 28th April 2011. 16:38 PM: Removing BETA tag since there have been no issues with the script for quite some time.
First off I would like to thank Sogarth for making this script in the first place as well as Romracer for fixing it for 1.83. Since he is busy doing more important work I decided to do this little hack for those of us that updated to 1.5.7 and dont feel like flashing back to earlier versions to get full Ubuntu working.
Again, this is only necessary if you're already running 1.5.7 or 1.8.3.
Secondly, I am still working on this script so it may not work for you. If you have a problem you may post in the thread or PM me showing exactly the error message, word for word, that you receive.
Updates will be included in the OP from time to time as I fix errors.
Instructions:
1) install.bat (from your computer)
2) adb shell (get a shell on your phone)
3) su (get root on your phone in that shell)
4) . /data/local/tmp/install.sh (run the install script *on your phone* don't forget the "." and the space after the dot, or you will have to chmod 755 the shell script manually)
5) ?????
6) profit\
Noob instructions, written by Viamonte (I take no credit or responsibility):
Thanks again for all your help. Now the noob instructions:
"1-Download "Terminal Emulator" from the market, on your phone (or any other terminal), and the file anexed in this thread to your computer.
2-Connect the Atrix to the computer via USB, configuring the connection mode to "None" and enabling USB Debugging mode (Settings>Applications>Development>USB debugging)
3-Unzip the file you downloaded on your pc, and run Install.bat. This will push the script to your phone.
4-Go back to your phone and open the emulator you downloaded. Then type "su" (without quotes) and press enter. Then type ". /data/local/tmp/install.sh" (without quotes) and press enter again.
The script should begin running now. It will stop in two moments where you'll be instructed to get a cup of coffee, and may take several minutes to continue form this point. When finished, the Atrix will reboot.
To check if this worked, use the Webtop either on your multimidia dock or your lapdock and verify if new itens appeared on your task bar and on the right upper side of the screen"
0.3.1 release
0.2 release
0.1 first release
Changelog
0.3.1 fix to gconf file's mdate so it does what its supposed to do =)
0.3 Small typo fixes and cpp package install fix by romracer, now works on 1.83 =)
0.2 Fixed some typos in uninstall.sh and make sure the %gconf file wound up in the right spot.
0.1 - first version. NOT CWM install but ready to be packaged for that more or less

Nice, I'll give this a shot later.

Ill give it a shot when I get home!

Good effort, but 1.57 changes how we have to run commands as root. On a normal linux box, I'm sure your methods would work fine, but we're not dealing with a normal su binary. You should look into doing this as CWM as opposed to .bat files. I had a hell of a time getting around the restrictions since the psneuter exploit was closed.

Ah, I did not think about that Ririal, thanks for the info. I am not familiar with CWM though.
Why is the /tmp directory in /data ? That would certainly cause every script to fail.
I'll look at this some more tonight.

How about a shell script that we can run in terminal emulator ? and the output goes to screen and a log file for debug !

most of the script is now run by shell scripts, no reason you couldn't run them in the terminal emulator, just get the order right. There are also a few lines I didn't translate to shell so you'd have to enter them by hand.
In any case I'll keep working on this until Sogarth releases his version with union mounts =D

Ah ok my mistake, you didn't quote anything I didn't realize that's what you were responding too
Likely noexec flag causing that issue.
Also, you can't invoke su from inside a shell script. It just doesn't work with this su binary.

yeah, I guess not. I hadn't realized that it wasn't a real 'su' before making this... too bad.
If anyone figures out how to get around that we'll be in business Unfortunately that's way beyond my expertise.

Okay, after fiddling a little bit and talking to a friend I may have solved some of the problems, mainly with the scripts executing and su working.
I will have to rewrite a bunch of things but should report back tonight.

Running BETA_ubuntu-1.0.6.4.zip. File extracts to BETA_ubuntu-1.0.6.2 directory. Ran ubuntu-1.5.7.bat
Moved BETA_ubuntu-1.0.6.2 to C:\ Same error

The only easy workaround to that I can see at the moment is to
Code:
adb shell
su
chmod 777 /path-to-scripts/*
ls -l /path-to-scripts/*
make sure all the files are executable (should say rwxrwxrwx)
then remove the bit of code from 1.5.7.bat
Code:
set retval=
for /f "tokens=*" %%l in ('%~dps0adb.exe shell "/bin/chmod 6755 /mnt/sdcard-ext/shell/* > /dev/null 2>&1 && echo PASS"') do set retval=%%l
if "%retval%" neq "PASS" set message=Unable to chmod scripts. && goto abort
If anyone can help me fix this problem I should be able to automate the chmod process using ririal's suggestion of su -c. The problem is that there are too many nested quotation marks in this section of the batch file, and I can't for the life of me figure out how to escape quotes so they pass through to adb:
Code:
set retval=
for /f "tokens=*" %%l in ('%~dps0adb.exe shell "/system/bin/su -c [U]'/bin/chmod 6755 /mnt/sdcard-ext/shell/*'[/U] > /dev/null 2>&1 && echo PASS"') do set retval=%%l
if "%retval%" neq "PASS" set message=Unable to chmod scripts. && goto abort
The underlined bit is where I need to escape either single or double quotes.

[HOW-TO] Manually Deodex Any ROM On The Atrix

First off I take no credit for any of these instructions!! I did not make them and they were found at another area of the forum, I just thought since I used them to deodex my OLYEM_U4_2.2.3 that they may be of use to someone.
P.S. For step 5 there was no guava.odex, so if nothing show's up don't worry about; and I also changed the mount codes for step 10, these were out of my experience and just made things quicker.
You must be rooted!
Get xUltimate here.
Process:
1. Unzip xUltimate v2.2, and launch "Main.exe"
2. If everything goes well xUlt should recognize the phone and make a connection. You now should see a list of options.
3. Run option 1. After option 1 is done, run option 2.
4. Now these well take a while. Run option 3.
5. IMPORTANT: After you have run option 3, you MUST navigate to the xUltimate folder and find "origi_frame" folder, and delete "guava.odex". It's a bad file, and interferes with deodexing process.
6. Now run option 4, and wait.
7. Exit xUltimate, and put the phone in USB mass storage.
8. Go back into the xUltimate folder and copy "done_frame", and "done_app", and move them to the root of the sdcard.
9. Put the phone in PC mode
10. Open a command prompt, and do the following:
Code:
adb shell
su
stop
mount -o rw,remount /system/ /system/
cp /sdcard/done_app/* /system/app/
cp /sdcard/done_frame/* /system/framework/
rm /system/app/*.odex
rm /system/framework/*.odex
mount -o ro,remount /system/ /system/
reboot

I get a virus warning Trojan when I downloaded the file, anyone else get this. I'm using Norton Antivirus.
Update:
The developers notes this on the OP. Figured what the hell and went ahead and tried it out. But when i press 3 i get "java" is not recognized and an internal or external command operable or batch file. So in english this means? I need Java SDK installed?
Update2:
I installed Java. And now everything seems to be working.

No virus However I got the java error, just downloaded java and problem sorted and now I'm deodexed Thanks for posting the information, really useful!

No problem. Glad it worked.

Got the Java error. I already had it installed so I uninstalled and reinstalled to no avail. Can you guys be more specific as to which you downloaded? I have win 7 64 bit so I did the bottom option here: http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/jdk-6u26-download-400750.html
Did anyone choose differently? I'll try 32 bit as I wait for a response.

I ran into that as well... I treated it as if I ran out of space, so I reran the copy command: cp /sdcard/done_frame/* /system/framework/ . With the odex files gone it ran without issue.
But it looks like you copied and pasted the entire block. I did it line by line and only rebooted at the end (after my second attempt to copy those files).

i am at the adb shell step. When i get to typing: mount -o rw,remount /system/ /system/ it gives me a permission denied. What am i doing wrong?

are you rooted?
did you enter "su"?
does the prompt appear as "#"?

yes i am rooted and i did type SU. But i don't see a # sign. All i see is a $ sign.

Then you are not in as root. When you type "su" do you check the phone screen to see if it is asking for you to grant permissions?

i checked the screen when typing su but it doesn't ask me to give permission. I am in usb debugging and the usb connection is set as none.

[STOCK]INIT.D support. No need to flash anything or even reboot into recovery

So yea I've been working on a proper "app2sd" solution that doesn't involve just switching the MicroSD for the eMMC, but I like the stock rom so far, so I didn't feel like flashing a rom just to get init.d, and I didn't feel like modifying the ramdisk in the kernel either. So I cooked up this script that anyone can run from terminal to get init.d support. It should work for other devices too, as long as they run /system/etc/install-recovery.sh on boot.
There's only three requirements for it to work:
#1 You must be rooted
#2 Your device must run /system/etc/install-recovery.sh
#3 You must have busybox
I tested a few times on my own device (GT-N8013), but haven't had anyone else test it, so don't freak out if it doesn't work. Just let me know what went wrong and I'll figure something out.
Running it is very simple:
#1 Open any terminal app
#2 su
#3 navigate to the folder where you have the script
#4 sh ./enableinit.sh
Your device will be rebooted once the process is done, don't freak out. If everything went fine, you'll have a file in /sdcard called init.d.log created by the test init.d script that is made by the enabler.
You can either download the attachment (rename it to enableinit.sh if you get the attachment), or create the file with the contents betlow:
Code:
#!/system/bin/sh
# Adds init.d support to any device that automatically runs /system/etc/install-recovery.sh
# on startup.
#

Hi, Can you tell more clearly how to make this work.
Sent from my GT-N8000 using xda app-developers app

Can any one make .zip file to flash thru recovery..thanks

The point was not to have to go into recovery...
Anyway, it's really simple...
Download the attached file
open terminal
then do the following commands
Code:
su
cd /sdcard
sh ./Download/enableinit.sh.txt
assuming that your browser saves files to /sdcard/Download

Sorry, I am a computer idiot . I really donot how to do after I had downloaded the text file. Appreciated if you can explain more detail.

So now with init.d support ready, is it going to be possible to run proper a2sd scripts? And which one specifically would you recommend? Excuse me if i'm asking the wrong questions.

It has nothing to do with knowing anything about computers, as you don't need a computer to do this... just your device...
Download the file, on your device, if you're using stock browser it will go to /sdcard/Download
Make sure you have busybox, download a busybox installer from the market, install it, and run it, and tell it to install busybox
Download a terminal app from the play store for free, such as android terminal emulator, install it and open it
then type in these exact commands, just like they're in here, in the terminal:
Code:
su
sh /sdcard/Download/enableinit.sh
Assuming of course, that your stuff is getting download to /sdcard/Download.
If you can't do this... sell your android device and buy an iCrap one...

I'm working on my own app2sd script that should beat anything ever made. Here's what it does:
It uses a second partition in the MicroSD card for gaining extra storage, this partition has to be formatted to ext4
#1 It mounts the external ext4 partition to a new location
#2 It detects the location for /sdcard/Android; /data/data; /data/app no matter what device you have (suppose the directories aren't the same for a certain device)
#3 It has the option to mount /sdcard/Android to a folder in the external partition
#4 It has the option to mount /data/data to a folder in the external partition
#5 It has the option to mount /data/app to a folder in the external partition
#6 It has the option to automatically copy everything from any of those folders to the appropriate folder in the external partition
#7 It has the option to automatically wipe from the internal storage anything that it moves
#8 If you have all options enabled, apps will be automatically installed to the external partition and never take any space in the internal storage, while everything else (Download/recovery/backup/pictures/videos/etc...) all remain in the internal partition.

Wow... cant wait for this script

Thanks for explaining. Interesting indeed! Will definitely wait for it eagerly!

Here's a preview of the super app2sd script I'm working on. Much of it is already implemented, should have it all in a couple of days

confusing
I have tried your script and it has successful at first.. then i flashing my note again with stock rom and i try using ur script again but now there is nothing chance.. do you know why?? what must i do now??

You know, this is the damnedest thing, but your instructions call for Busybox installation, and I can't install Busybox on my N8013. And tips you can share?

Only reason you wouldn't be able to install busybox is if you're not rooted.
