[ALL-IN-ONE] Root and everything else thread (STICKY PLEASE!) - LG Revolution

Hey guys! Wanted to make 1-stop thread for everyone along with tips to help out some of the new people we're getting here so here it goes. ROM and development stuff can be found in this first post. Tips and Tricks can be found in Post #2. Themes can be found in Post #3.
**BEFORE YOU DOWNLOAD ANYTHING, MAKE SURE YOU READ UP ABOUT STUFF HERE AND IN THE ORIGINAL POST FIRST!!!**
ROMs:
We currently only have 1 Gingerbread ROM which is Gingervolt v2.0 and it can be found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1326542
**A note about Gingervolt v2.0. You need to already be on stock Gingerbread before flashing this!!!! If you're on 2.2 Froyo, then either use the phone menu to upgrade by going to Settings>About Phone>Software Update OR you can use the LGPNST method which will be explained later.**
Kernels:
This kernel is included in Gingervolt v2.0 but if you want to stay on stock Gingerbread and use this kernel, you can get it from here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1371022
Upgrading/Downgrading using LGPNST:
To be able to do this, you can find instructions here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1211295
**The instructions for this are for "downgrading" however, to upgrade to Gingerbread, just use the V7 .tot file for upgrading.**
All files for this can be downloaded from my dropbox account. Here are the files:

That's about all I can think of right now. If you can think of anything else for the Development Section that I should add, please send me a PM and let me know!

Tips and Tricks
Here are Tips to making all this stuff easier.
1. If you're on 2.2 Froyo, you can NOT flash Gingervolt v2.0. You need to be on stock Gingerbread first.
2. DO NOT do a system wipe through the Settings Menu. Only wipe data through Recovery.
3. Flashing any Theme other than "Cyan Volt" will reset the "Low Battery Warning at 1%" it will start going off again at 15%.
4. If you use or download something that someone else made, CLICK THE "THANKS" BUTTON! It only takes a second!
Honestly I can't think of much more right now so if you have some tips, please let me know!

THEMES
Here's a list of all the Themes available for the LG Revolution running Gingerbread.

Linux/Mac All in One
I just wanted to mention that there is a linux version of the All in One application.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1519029
It also works on Mac OS X. Not sure if you will need to install xcode or not but it worked for me. (I have xcode and a lot of other dev related libs already on this machine)
On a side note, I had to change the location of the sh bin in the script from /data/local/tmp/sh to /system/bin/sh for it to work on my phone.
---------- Post added at 11:25 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:02 AM ----------
Also, I only did the CWM installer to update from 4.0.0.2 to 5.0.2.7. I did not use it to root my phone as it was already rooted by hand back in the day. Maybe thats why my sh bin was in a different location?

Would you be able to give me the output of the program when run without modification so I can see where it might have gone wrong? I don't have a computer with OS X on it so I couldn't test it myself.
The sh in /data/local/tmp is actually a temporary sh with root priviledges (put there by the zergrush exploit) so you can do things as root (like install cwm and such) without any permanent change to the system.
The sh in /system/bin is the actual system sh binary and on an unrooted phone changing the script to use it won't work. It probably worked for you just because you happened to be rooted already
It sort of sounds like zergrush failed on your phone for whatever reason.

Thanks for the heads up. I was just testing this on KA5 for funsies. It looked like it went ok but there was a prob with temp root at the beginning and it looked like a few java errors at the end. I'll re-download and give it another go.
Edit: Ah, looks like it's working now. Temp root worked and it downloaded the modem and kernel.
Edit2: So it looked as though everything worked fine, but when I went to install it I got
E:Can't symlink /system/bin/cat
E:Failure at line15:
symlink toolbox SYSTEM:bin/cat
Installation aborted.

I just tested on my laptop and got a java out of memory error
while signing the rom so I increased the heap size which seems
to have fixed it.

Yea I got the same thing as well. Thanks again, will give it another go.
Update: The process was more in-depth when deodexing. Signing went through np and when I flashed through clockwork it worked (goodbye splash screen!). There must be some issue with KA5 though. It got through to the Galaxy S screen and then started vibrating and then blackscreen. T_T
Thank god for this.. (Deodexer)
Thanks untermensch, your the best
Really really appreciate this. Thanks a bunch!
Most useful tool EVAR!
I T W O R K E D~!
My final attempt last night did not shoot out the "signed_ROM.zip" at the end. I ran it again this morning on KA5 and when it finished I had the signed_ROM.zip in the folder. Put that on my internal, flashed through clockwork and viola! Doedexed KA5 with root and modded 3e recovery. I can't thank you enough Untermensch for putting this together for everyone.
"Give a man fish feed him for a day. Provide him with tools to fish and feed him for a lifetime." (Yea I tweaked it but you get the idea!)
I noticed one thing. During the deodexing process I got [null] on one file in the core.odex. After it had all finished up I looked in the framework folder and core.odex was still there. So am I correct in assuming that it did not doedex properly? Other than that everything else looks golden.
Oh this is sick. i was looking for this all day the otherday when i was trying to deodex ka5! you rock and rule. i cant wait to explore the possiblities!

I deleted the core.odex file and rebooted just to see what would happen and it soft bricked and is stuck at the Vibrant screen. So it seems the only issue lies in deodexing the core.jar at this point.
can i use this to port a rom? forgive me if that is a noob question. just wanted to know if i had the right idea...

yep that was an baksmali error, likely you could run the script again and it
would baksmali OK.
this script is a real system stress test, any way I increased the java maxmem
setting for framework files to 1024m added error logging and the script will
now stop if there is an error. hopefully to prevent a broken ROM from being
released.

Pretty sure the core.odex [null] error I got happened every time I ran the program. I ran it once after the 1:25am update and it happened. That is also the time it did not produce the signed_ROM.zip. I ran it again this morning after I saw the OP had been updated and it did produce the signed_ROM.zip but I still got the [null] error on core.odex. I'm going to Odin KA5 and do it again right now. I will let you know how it works out.
On a side note. I flashed the one I recieved this morning with everything being deodexed except the core.jar and it ran great until I deleted the odex file. Anywho, will test now. Also, not sure if this matters but I am running 32-bit Windows 7.
Update1: Initial news is good. Core.jar was deodexed properly with no errors. Will let you know how the entire process fairs once its completed.
Worked perfectly. I got no errors and everything deodexed properly. Flashed it on my phone and it's running just fine. You are awesome.
Thanks for retesting, glad it worked, there are thousands of files being generated
an lots of java processes being spawned so there are bound to be an occasional
error. I have added an automatic retry when there is an error to the next version
should be posted some time tomorrow.
I'm about 3/4 the way through testing this out - it seems to be working just fine with the exception that every command is appended with "ATTRIB" is not recognized as...
Hopefully it will work anyway.
One thing I noticed that might speed the script up in the beginning would be a root check, I have already rooted this rom but it still needed to run rageagainstthecage.
I've been looking for something like this forever now, thanks so much! Can't wait to play with it.

[SCRIPT][updated5/4]Webtop via HDMI compatible for VERSION 4.1.83(W/Chinese Font Fix)

Firstly,pls notice this script is only for the phone which have got root.
Before below steps,pls make sure your usb mode is not as mass storage.you need choose none or first item when you plug your usb cable in.
Thx for all the XDA guys hard work and especially DG ,Shawnbuck,Fenny and anyone else that contribute a lot for XDA and us.
2011/7/4 Update for restoring script of stock Webtopmod 4.1.83
2011/5/4 updating:
Adding the restore script for restoring to stock version of V4.1.57 webtop files in order to update to 4.1.83.
After succeed updating and got root access,you can run webtopmod V8 again to get the webtop cracked.
pls notice in order to backup the stock webtop version ,you need answer "N" when prompt "Have your cracked ago with old mod files?" for your first run script after updating.
Then your stock webtop file will be backed up in /sdcard/webtopmodbackup(thx for terrypchan's uploading files)
Background:
I found some guys complained lose webtop mod after root for 4.1.57(now 4.1.83).
Actually, what we need is just to replace some files that we use for stock version.
But the original script will not work for 4.1.57.
In order to make some new guys crack webtopmod easily , i update the script to make it useful again.
I also add Chinese font support on webtop.Now you can visit Chinese webside at webtop.The Chinese will displayed correctly.(If some errors happend regarding font fix,it doesn't matter of your crack.Maybe it's because your system is English version)
I don't need your bears for it.Just press "thank" butten or leave a feedback,which is enough for me.
V8 will be stable version for you and could not be updated so far.
Steps:
1. download the file
2. extract and press install.bat as usual
3. run script in rooted Atrix before you do any action regarding deodex or theme changing
3. look at the screen and answer the question accordingly(If it's your first time to run the script in this system version---noticed i mean version not the phone,you need put "N" when prompting "Have your cracked ago with old mod files?" to backup your stock files
4. after reboot,you webtop back again.
[option]5. If you want to deodex or any theme changing,then do it.
[option]6. Run the script V8 again after you do deodex or theme changing,this time you don't need input "N" when prompting "Have your cracked ago with old mod files?"
Remark:
1. webtopmodbackup.zip is the script that return webtopmod files to stock 4.1.26 version for updating to 4.1.57
2. restorewebtopmodv4.157 is the script that return webtopmod files to stock 4.1.57 version for updating to 4.1.83
3.webtopmod1.1updatedV8 can be run under any rooted Atrix to active the webtop mod
4. You'd better to run V8 to get webtop before you do deodex or any theme modification like gingleblue which will replace your webtop files with deodex and V8 cannot backup your stock files automatically
Version Introduction:
1.V8 (instead of V7)is fixed for Bell version.--updated on 4/18--I missed one sentence in scripts of V7.Thanks for Becart's correction.All the users(at&t and bell version) can use this version for webtopmod
1.V6 is compatible with the updated 4.1.57 mod files done by Fenny.You can updated from your old mod files or use it to crack your webtopmod directly.
Updated History below:
4/23 Now adding script of going back stock mod files(4.1.26.Pls notice it's different from 4.1.57 files and cannot use for updating to 1.8.3).Any one can download WebtopModBackup.zip and run uninstall.bat to make the files go back to stock version.You need notice i didn't test it but you can try and if any error,let me know.
(Update V8):
Fix script for Bell version.Thanks Becart's correction.
(Update V6):
Now reinclude the Fenny's file and update a little script.It works with Fenny's updated 4.1.57 Mod files now.Thx for his job and updated.You can find details throughthis link .
(Update V5):
Sorry .Made a mistake,i didn't notice Fenny's file format,it cannot be used for this script directly.V5 went off line. Sorry for the inconvinience.You can find V6 above.It should be workable.
V5 Version is compatible with the updated 4.1.57 mod files done by Fenny. Thx for Fenny's quick updated for 4.1.57 mod files.
Thx for Fenny's mod files again.
Then follow above steps to update.
Pls notice you need answer if you have crack the mod files ago in order to keep you stock files in SDCARD otherwise it will be overwritten when you run the V5 script.
(Update V4):
Now it can be used for any version of atrix including Bell.
(Update V3):
Donot need input command by manually any more.But you need keep phone screen on and allow SU when the script run.
(update V2) :
Filename of webtopmod.sh changed from WebtopMod.sh to webtopmod.sh since many person ignor the capitalization.
pls notice the last command need use filename exact same as webtopmod.sh now.all the letter is lowercase
Backup:
You can find the link for root:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1013931
The 3 crack files are from Fenny's thread. you can find it through below link.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=980193

1.could help out about the adb missing...if you meet this issue,you could force close adb.exe through task manager of windows.
2.change webtopmod.sh filename from WebtopMod.sh to webtopmod.sh. Now you can ignor the capslock letter
sorry still not working i even put it in the C: with run as administrator

[Q] Stop Auto VZW Auto Update

I found how for the X2 but the instructions dont work for the Revolution.
Anyone know the way to stop it?
Thanks
Using root explorer goto /system/lib/libdme_main and add .bak to the end of it. You will keep bluetooth and no more update. Make sure you do NOT mess with anything else!
Sent from my VS910 4G using xda premium
I deleted that file (adding.bak sounds much better) and it has gone away, just like mtmichaelson said.
Sweet thank. Ya on my droid 2 i stopped a bunch of stuff and just did the .bak so if i need it later i can just change it back.
Thanks
Just to double check, this works on revo phone.
When I acess file it has .so file type do I change .so to bak?
I just added .bak after the .so

Revolt - LTE
I'm not sure if this is related, but I noticed that after I flashed Revolt 1.3, I never see the "LTE" symbol in my notification bar. I'm in an LTE area, so I know it's available--does that mean my phone isn't running LTE anymore or is the symbol just not showing up on this ROM? I apologize in advance if this is a ridiculously misguided question--I'm new here and learning as I go.
By the way, mtmichaelson--I said this before and I'll say it again--awesome ROM! Thanks again for your hard work.

So, right now it is a .so file. Do I just add .bak to it, or change it from .so to .bak?
(Just want to be extra sure.)
Also,I would like to root my phone. I found a way that someone rooted theirs with their 2.2.2. Do you think I should root first, then change the file so it doesn't update? Or does it matter?
by the way, Here is the root I found(sorry it's a bit long):
"How to root your OTA Updated Revo:
This method requires you to downgrade your phone back to the V4 stock version. As of now, there seems to be no root process for the V6 update. This method has worked for me and I am also on a custom ROM that has been said to have some, if not most of the V6 updates included without the bloatware.
Step One:
- Be sure to get the following files:
---- LG VZW_United_WHQL_v1.2.0.exe
---- LGAndroidDriver_Ver_1.0_All.exe
---- LGNPST_Store_Lab-1.zip
---- VS910.dll (required to use LGNPST_Store_Lab-1.zip)
---- VS910ZV4_04.S4_04.P58008.R5.user.tot
---- RevoToolkit-1.0.apk (This is untested by me but supposed to provide an easier method to install CWM mod vs the ADB method)
---- SuperOneClickv2.1.1-ShortFuse (Includes the needed ADB program)
---- rageagainstthecage-arm5.bin (The exploit needed to root revo, not necessarily found with SuperOneCLick)
---- RevoltRom1.3.zip (This is optional, but recommended to speed up your revo and also to comply with the original topic of this thread. It 'seems' to stop the OTA from 'trying' the update since it includes updated features. NOTE that I said 'seems'... Other things I did may be the actual result I haven't seen the OTA try to install...
Ok, so to start, you will want to be sure that you have the drivers on your computer (I'm using windows 7 x64), so that is what this method has proven to work on by me.
Be sure to install:
- LG VZW_United_WHQL_v1.2.0.exe
- LGAndroidDriver_Ver_1.0_All.exe
Both may not be required, but I have both installed and things worked.
Then you will need to install:
- LGNPST_Store_Lab-1.zip
- VS910.dll (This is just copied into the folder LGNPST/Models. My install put the LGNPST program in C:\LG Electronics, not c:\Program Files (x68)... )
- You will run the LGNPST program, select the VS910.dll via Menu: File --> Select DLL.
- Then, in the bottom right of the LGNPST program, select BIN File (folder icon) to load the 'bin'.
--- This will require you to enter *.* in order to find the .tot file. Don't worry, this .tot file is what you need in the LGNPST Program.
- Once loaded and your phone is connected and recognized (Phone must be in 'Internet USB Mode'), hit the Start Button. This will begin the process of restoring your phone back to V4.
After that has completed, which takes a while, you will then need the SuperClick program to root.
- Copy, or verify, the rageagainstthecage-arm5.bin file is located in the Exploits folder where you extraced SuperOneClick.
- Run SuperOneClick, Select the exploit pull down (which defaults to 'auto') and select the rageagainstthecage option.
- Press the Root button and let it do its thing.
--- If it fails, this is what I had to do.. Reboot your phone. While it is rebooting, have the SuperOneClick program ready and waiting for you to hit Root again. As soon as the LG Logo becomes animated, hit Root and let it try again (While it is rebooting). This seemed to get the read/write options to work, where failed. This possibly is part of the update that is sticking around to stop you from rooting. So, try a few times. If/when succeeded, move on to the next steps if you wish to have some of the update 'fixes' without the update and a faster custom ROM...
To install a ROM, you need to have CWM installed.
Two methods to doing so seem to exist:
- The method I used was at this link: [RELEASE][6-14-2011] CWM Ported to the Revolution 4G! - xda-developers
Follow that and you should have a backup original image and the new image to get CWM to work to install custom ROMs
- The OTHER method, which is UNTESTED by me, is to use a simple tool called RevoToolKit, which is and APK file that runs directly on your phone. If it works, which others seem to say it does, this would be the most simple form of installing CWM to your phone. Be aware that this app is small, but uses a downloader to install CWM, so you want to make sure you have a good internet connection or data connection...
After that, you will want to follow the directions for CWM (ClockWorkMod) at this link:
- [Rom][8-17-11]Revolt Rom 1.3 - xda-developers
After all that, you should have a rooted Revo AFTER you managed to do the update.
I included links to some instructions in order to shorten up this post and not 'copy' someone else's methods and be sure that you can give the credit to them. The only credit I deserve for this is a complete step-by-step, in one place procedure to get you back or to root your Revo if you did the update.
In time, I am sure that there will be a simpler way to root the OTA Update, but until then, this is working for me and hope that this helps clear up some issues for others that find it tough to get back to root after the OTA Update."
It then has the file links, but I cannot post them since I am a newb.
Thanks again!
I don't see a way for you to change the file from .so to .so.bak without having root as far a rooting you only have to downgrade if your phone its v6 if out is running v4 all you need to do is root it
Sent from my VS910 4G using xda premium
Is there a way to do this without buying root explorer? I have bloat freezer so is there anything I can just freeze?
Thank You
*EDIT* just bought root explorer for $.99 through Amazon Appstore for those who still need it.
I'm on V4 and rooted back from V6 but it does not let me rename due to it being a read only file? sooo how do I add the bak? opened it with root explorer and it requested superuser privileges and I ok'ed it but when I go to /system/lib/libdme_main.so and try to rename it, it won't let me.

On the top right of root explorer is a "Mount R/W" button. Click that and it should let you make changes to the system.
Hope it helps

Thanks a bunch . That worked! I had pushed it at the system level. Didn't pay attention that I had to do it at the folder I'm in.

SOC is outdated

or continue with steps to flash ICS

(Flashing that file on my post with Odin will give you stock rooted GB with non market apps enabled.... but who wants GB when there is ICS xD)

Click to collapse
step to enable non market apps
1. root the device with soc
2. install es file explorer give it root
3. go to /dbdata/databases/com.android.providers.setting/databases from there copy setting.db to your sd card
4. mount sdcard to the pc
5. then open setting.db file with any sqlite editor software on pc
6. search for the name "install_non_market_apps" change its value from '0' to '1'
7. copy the edited file to its original location
you are done now you can install apps from outside market
(note: no option will appear in the settings but you can install apps)
Seems like a lot of work for something that is officially not an issue...
Update your os...you're on an old stock ROM, I'm guessing 2.2 kb1.
Gingerbread is available officially now, and has this option added back into the settings like it should have been all along. No need to even root if you don't wanna...
Just my couple of pennies.

Yeah, and official GB is only about a thousand times smoother than stock KB1 or JF6.

Hello mehrzad1363,
I have a maybe somehow strange question for you...
I have tried to odex a de-odexed Samsung 4.0.4 I9100(S2) Rom with your script. It didn't work as expected, highly likely because of wrong bootclasspath. Where can I adjust this in your script? Or maybe you can adjust it, and make a topic about it in S2 section. Many S2 users would appreciate it!
Please send me PM if you need to test...
Thanks in advance for your answer!

Hello Existence
First you can use this Thread for odexing
this odexer for note and i think work this with S2 . but if you get bootloop upload init.rc in root your phone.
for Deodexer i Necessarily get S2 .Because change this method for any app in system and apks in S2 .
Deodexer is the first way in Windows without linux and I do not have access to different phones.

Hi Mehrzad, I'm playing with it as we speak! I changed your odex.sh with bootclasspath for the S2:
Code:
/system/framework/core.jar:/system/framework/bouncycastle.jar:/system/framework/ext.jar:/system/framework/framework.jar:/system/framework/android.policy.jar:/system/framework/services.jar:/system/framework/core-junit.jar
But no boot... :crying:
Will upload my init.rc.. Where can I find this?
Will look for it now!
Edit: Here's my init.rc. Thanks for looking into this!

Thanks!! I'm out of thanks right now, because I allready gave 8 today
But I owe you those for your efforts!
Gonna try now and will report back in about 10 minutus, ok?
---------- Post added at 09:56 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:39 PM ----------
Ok.. I used the odexer from this thread and replaced the odex.sh.
All frameworkfiles went without errors, but then with /system/apps...
A few apps went ok, but then a long list of errors. It started with CWMmanager.apk(Chainfire kernel app)
This is the error: Unable to create /data/local/tmp/tmp.odex: File exists.
That same error I get for all apk's...
I mounted /data in CWM and ofcourse my system apps weren't odexed yet.
Phone is not booting. I think frameworkfiles went ok...
Will try again without the CWMmanager.apk.
You have any suggestions?
---------- Post added at 10:23 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:56 PM ----------
Update!
I removed the CWMmanager.apk, and now all files were odexed OK. All /system/framework files and all /system/app files, except 1 error for mini-res.apk. So the same apk on the S3, gives an error on the S2.
But the phone is not booting... The phone should be able to boot without mini-res.apk...
So something eslse must be wrong... Will try 1 more time, all over again, and now also without the mini-res.apk.
But I'm afraid... Not...
UPDATE:
Also no boot without the minimode-res.apk. So no errors at all anymore. But also phone it not booting... It's not even building dalvik cache.(The updating apps window, you normally see.)
Any idea? I think we are close...
with this method when bigining error for continus other apk you get problem. you can any apk with error move to other folder and next start odexed.
you can make 1 package installer for cwm and when finish odex rom callback any apk without odexing method. we can use this mod for any android phone (galaxy 9000*amestris* / galaxy note / sensetion xe odexed with this script)
