I got the tool "galaxys2_kernel_repack" to modified the zImage which got from the official release and changed the default.prop "ro.secure=0".
Use the kTool.apk write the image to phone. after reboot, the default.prop value has changed. but the adb shell is still in normal mode, not root mode.
Is there any way to require adb shell root?
Thanks for you help.
My devices software version is N7000ZSLPM_TGY

Thanks for your answer.
I used the stock ICS release by SAMSUNG, not CM release.
As your answer, there is still the normal mode, but can require root shell type the command "su".
I have resolved the problem by flash the speedmod kernel which provide adb shell root. With adb shell root you can use PC Client command like "adb root", "adb remount", "adb push to /system directly"

Hi guys,
sorry if my english isnt so good...
i'm in trouble with ADB..
i want to upgrade my swype keyboard on my NEW M1 rom eu....i got the 1.58 and i want to try the 1.60..
i found a thread on this forum with commands for upgrading the swype like this way:
Code:
adb remount
adb shell
su
pm list packages -f | grep swype
rm /system/app/<restOfApkPathFoundInAboveCommand>
pm uninstall <value after apk= found in result of 2 commands above>
exit
Install normally. If you want the apk in the rom:
adb push <newSwype.apk> /system/app/<newSwype.apk>
adb remount
adb shell
pm install <newSwype.apk>
(found here-> LINK)
I'm stuck at the beginning:
Code:
C:\android\tools>adb devices
List of devices attached
9000ec2a228b device
C:\android\tools>adb remount
remount failed: No such file or directory
my phone is rooted and in debug usb mode..I dont understand how can I go ahead...
what can I do?
thanks

are u using the NEW M1 rom too?
Rooting doesn't automatically give you remount permissions AFAIK.
i just use this command
Code:
adb push test.txt /sdcard/test.txt
and the copy is ok....i found the file in the sgs sdcard...
The command adb remount is for the /system directory (for set write permission) .... i think it cant find the directory /system on the phone......why?!?!

Are you using the internal ext2 lagfix? I think that causes problems with the adb remount command. It doesn't work for me either.
Same results using a different ROM?

No lagfix installed at the moment..i installed lagfix when i was on M2 but i think that reflashing removed the lag fix...is it right?

adb remount as well
Trying to remap hard keys, adb remount along with push and pull do not work. Depending on whether im in shell or not I get no such file or directory or file not found errors. I can change into directory of each of the folders im trying to work with, and look at the file but I can't push it from my tools folder(locally) or pull it from the system folder. Every tutorial I see has adb remount command first, which fails every time.

Blackhole-build your own rom
(also tried on jt's latest rom, same issue
Crazy
I'm having the same issue here too. I'm trying to get a custom boot screen on my rooted Samsung Infuse and I've tried every way I can think of and it wont take. Clockworkmod says successfully installed, but its not. Soon as I reboot I see the At&T stock boot. I've fixed all of my permissions and still no luck.
So I saw a solution to do it via adb by typing "adb remount" and I get the same thing u guys are getting. I've got a headache now. Done all I could, even typing "shell", "su", that all goes well then when I tried to push it "adb push bootanimation.zip system/media" I get adb: not found. Smh, is it a device issue?
i think ive got the solution
flash a new kernel..................................worked for me................
I had previously unlocked my bootloader and was running CM6.1, but I had to go back to stock because my company's email app (Good for Enterprise) refuses access on rooted devices.
I would like to monkey around with different configurations to see if I can find a way to run Good on CM6.1. I don't want to do this if I have to reinstall everything if it doesn't work however.
So my question is this. I just want to get the Clockwork recovery on my N1 so I can back up the non-rooted OS and monkey around a little. Can this be done with ABD on a non-rooted device?
Gave it a shot, worked fine.
"fastboot flash recovery clockwork-image-name.img"
Good for Enterprise still runs, so it isn't looking at the recovery to determine rooted status.
Nevermind, clockwork didn't survive a reboot. Good news is I was able to get a backup first.
After installing recovery via fastboot, try removing the following files via adb:
/system/etc/install-recovery.sh
/system/recovery-from-boot.p

When I try to do this from the recovery, these files are not found, and adb can't see the device from the bootloader. If I boot into the OS, it will be too late - the recovery would be wiped by then and I am back to square one. I must be missing something.
Is there any way to pull the System partition and mount the .img file on my PC to do this? That sounds a little dangerous though
Just thought, you need root to delete the files.
You'd probably have to root, install recovery, then install a non-rooted ROM, but keep custom recovery...

This is what you need to do:
1) boot your device into the OS
2) download the rageagainstthecage binary and save it as rageagainstthecage in the /tools folder (in the android SDK)
3) plug your device to your computer
4) open a command prompt in the /tools directory
5) type adb devices to make sure your computer sees your device
6) push the rageagainstthecage binary to /data/local/tmp/ by typing adb push rageagainstthecage /data/local/tmp/rageagainstthecage
7) type adb shell to open a shell
8) change the permissions on the binary to allow it to run by typing chmod 700 /data/local/tmp/rageagainstthecage
9) navigate to the directory (cd /data/local/tmp) and execute the binary by typing ./rageagainstthecage
10) wait for it to run, and it will exit the shell
enter the following command at the prompt: adb kill-server
11) enter the following command at the prompt: adb start-server
12) open an adb shell again: adb shell
13) now you should have a temporary root shell. You should see a # instead of a $. if you still see the $, go back to step 9. You may have to do this a few times (I had to do it 3 times before I got root access)
14) now, mount the /system partition as r/w by typing mount -o remount,rw -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system
15) delete the two files: rm /system/etc/install-recovery.sh and rm /system/recovery-from-boot.p
16) mount the partition as r/o by typing mount -o remount,ro -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system
17) exit the shell
18) now flash your custom recovery
Awesome, thanks. I'll give it a shot later!
This worked flawlessly, thanks for the great writeup!

Two things: First, don't forget that any update from Google always has those two files in it, so they will reappear after every update.
Second, I just reread your first post again. I think you should still be able to kepp root and have your company's email working. I think the problem was that you were using an AOSP-based ROM instead of a stock-based one. Follow the directions for rooting in my signature (the first part is essentially the same as what you just did to gain r/w access to the system partition via adb, the second part is copying su and Superuser.apk to the right directories). Root is essentially one additional file copied to your /system directory, so I believe your company's email will still work with root.

Not sure what you are asking.
If your bootloader is unlocked, you can use fastboot. Download the recovery image you want into the /tools directory of your SDK and rename it recovery.img. Open a command prompt in the same directory. Type fastboot devices to make sure fastboot sees you device. Then type fastboot flash recovery recovery.img and you are done.
If your bootloader is not unlocked, you can use flash_image, but you need root access. See attachments on how to get root if your bootloader is locked, and how to flash a custom recovery with a locked bootloader.

I was using the Nexus One 2.2.1 stock image directly from Google. My problem is that the Good for Enterprise actively checks for root. Specifically if the Superuser.apk exists, it refuses to let me in and cites corporate policy.
Since getting my stock backup, I was free to experiment and I had some success getting Good running on CM 6.1. Taking clues from your earlier instructions, I used adb shell to rename su to su.bak and Superuser.apk to Superuserapk.bak on the phone, then rebooted. After the reboot, I don't have root anymore.
This is a compromise, but at least I don't have to give up that CM6 goodness just to use my corporate email. So far I have not seen any issues in CM6 resulting from not having root. In an emergency I can rename them the superuser files back using rageagainsthecage as you outlined but I probably won't do it often.
Thanks for the help!

Just for your info, Superuser.apk does not give you root, it only manages the root permissions. If your corporate email application checks only for Superuser.apk, you could technically delete Superuser.apk and keep the su binary. Your would still have root, and your corporate email app would work. The su binary is what actually gives you root access. All that the Superuser.apk file does is manages the permissions for root access, i.e., it allows or denies applications from using the su binary. Everything would work fine (including all apps that require root) without Superuser.apk. HOWEVER, just as a warning, without Superuser.apk, you would have no control over which apps have root access...
I will have to put su back and see what happens. I may be recalling wrong, maybe it checks for su also...
I experimented a bit more and it looks for both files. Sorry for the confusion.
I realize that these threads are every where but re posting in hopes of helping someone out. Every bit of mt's AIO worked for me, but AIO 2 for Zv8 would not.
You could always do this manually using adb. Here's how.
Push CWM Recovery image to your phone manually once in rooted zv8.
1. Open the ZV8CWMRecovery folder on your PC.
2. Double click the 'Files' folder to go into that directory.
3. Highlight/select and copy the address of your current folder location on your PC. It will look something like this:
Code:
C:\Documents and Settings\username\My Documents\Downloads\ZV8CWMRecovery\Files
4. Click Start>Run>type 'cmd' and hit enter/return to open your command prompt.
5. Type 'cd', hit your spacebar, then paste your address which you copied in step 3 into your command prompt, hit enter/return.
6. You should now be positioned in the folder containing the adb and CWMRecovery files.
7. Type the following to copy the CWMRecovery image to your phone:
Code:
adb devices
adb remount
adb push cwmrecovery.img /data/local/tmp/cwmrecovery.img
adb shell dd if=/data/local/tmp/cwmrecovery.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p14 bs=4096
adb shell "rm /data/local/tmp/* 2>/dev/null"
adb shell rm /system/etc/install-recovery.sh
adb shell rm /system/recovery-from-boot.p
adb shell rm /data/local.prop
adb reboot
Phone should reboot. Try and boot into CWMRecovery after it reboots.
you can do that by typing: adb reboot recovery
all thanks go to brad 6360 for lending a hand and general lack of DoucheBaggery!
You're welcome. Glad I could help.
I'm stuck on adb remount cmd. Here's the output I get:
adb remount
remount failed: Operation not permitted
Any ideas? This is the same place I had issues running the AIO .bat file. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

I was having the same problems. No matter what I tried, AIO, this method, etc, nothing worked when I was using my computer to get CWM back after ZV8. I found this thread that uses terminal emulator on the phone and it worked perfectly.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1594885
I never could get cwm working but a friend recommended QuickBoot, gives you the boot into recovery mode. Works great.

This is the same thing as terminal emulater on your phone
with this you can open a shell inside your phone running on your pc
Same commands
Thanks for the suggestions. I ended up getting it to work. I just skipped the adb remount cmd and started with pushing the img. Then I used the su cmd in shell to get a # prompt and ran the rest of the cmds as written including reboot recovery. CWM popped up on boot!

Hey all. Last night I was helping a friend keep root through the V8 update. Everything went fine until I thought that I had manually pushed clockwork, but when I tried to reboot into recovery I got stuck on the LG logo forever. How I'm having trouble getting the phone to do anything. When in emergency mode it won't connect to the computer and it's not even my phone so I feel like a real #$%^^. Any advice would be appreciated.

Hi guys, I would really appreciate some help. I am able to root my gear and transfer the TWRP via odin. But when I reboot into recovery it just goes back to the stock launcher. I read this in the developer thread:
IF YOU FIND THE RECOVERY IS NOT STICKING & YOUR GEAR WIPES WHEN ATTEMPTING TO ACCESS RECOVERY AFTER FLASHING.
YOU MUST ROOT YOUR GEAR PRIOR TO INSTALLING TWRP AGIAN & RUN THE FOLLOWING COMMANDS IN ADB.
*NOTE* YOU WILL HAVE TO ACCEPT A SUPERUSER REQUEST POPUP WHEN EXECUTING "SU" COMMAND.
*NOTE 2* PROBABLY A GOOD IDEA TO RUN THIS PRIOR TO FIRST INSTALLATION, TO SAVE TIME.
Code:
$ adb shell
$ su
# mount -o rw,remount /dev/block/mmcblk0p20 /system
# rm /system/recovery-from-boot.p
IF YOU DELETE THE "RECOVERY-FROM-BOOT.P" FILE YOU MUST RELFASH TWRP RECOVERY.
I have rooted and installed roms on phone before but working in the developer tools is new to me. Can anyone explain exactly how and when to do this during the TWRP recovery install process? Or possibly just point me to a how to or youtube on basic adb commands? I have searched and it looks super complicated. Just need to know how to run these 3 commands.
THANKS!
i have the exact same issue, is there any answer for this??

Well it's been well over a year since I did that but let's see if I can help..... Before I start I'm hoping you've already enabled adb debugging on the gear and downloaded adb onto your computer. I believe you run the commands after you've run cygnia but before you flash twrp. You run the task from a command prompt from your pc. I'm pretty sure you don't include the $ or #. Before you start try the adb command- adb devices from the command prompt on your pc. That'll let you know if the gear is connected. I remember being a bit intimidated by it all as it was different to any other flash I'd done. In reflection it's very easy, type the line in a command prompt, press enter, wait for the cursor to come up again, type the next line. As for guides..... I can't remember which one I used but there's plenty out there.
Problem: I have an Aishon A19 tablet, which it is very hard to find information about. It is an RK3288 tablet running Android 5.1.1.
It is not really rooted in the normal sense. However, "adb root" works; I can get a root shell and mount /system as writeable, I can push any app I want to the device, etc.
Things that will not work:
-- I tried to put on a /system/xbin/su (from SuperSU 2.76), with mode 6755 (rwsr-sr-x) and it didn't work. I also made symbolic links to /system/bin/su and /system/xbin/daemonsu. Running it from a non-root shell in adb prints a 1 and doesn't give me root. Running it from a non-root shell on the tablet does the same thing. Running it from a root shell gives me no error, but that obviously isn't much use.
-- Running SuperSU as an app gives me the error message about "There is no SU binary installed, and SuperSU cannot install it. This is a problem! If you just upgraded to Android 5....." I have no idea if it actually can't see the ./system/xbin/su or if the error message just isn't that good.
-- Trying to use "adb reboot bootloader" or getting into the bootloader using buttons doesn't work. It reboots the tablet into a blank screen, with the same vendor ID and a new product ID; however, "fastboot devices" shows nothing. This happens both under Windows and Linux, and even when run as root under Linux (thus not having to worry about udev rules). This means that I cannot install TWRP unless someone can explain to me how to install TWRP without using the bootloader.
I *can* use "adb reboot recovery" and get into the recovery menu. And as I mentioned, I can get root access to the tablet and a root shell using "adb root", and push any file I want to it.
Is it possible to use this root shell and/or recovery to install SuperSU somehow, even if I have to just copy files one at a time?
Edit: Moderators., you can lock this. Someone had the same problem in http://forum.xda-developers.com/apps/supersu/how-to-manually-update-su-supersu-file-t3238991 and I was able to folloow that, manually running the commands in update-binary.
