Hey I was looking around and I couldn't find anything, but is there any way to root our vogues on android? I'm not too experienced, but I know rooting is phone specific, and since ours are a little mixed up, it probably wouldn't work the same. I want a way to do it without using ADB, my computer won't support it. I want to be able to edit/change some system files, I.E. bootanimation, UI components, and removing stock apps. correct me if I'm wrong on any of this, and thanks for any help.
Android on the vogue is rooted
Yes I know our phones are rooted, but the system acts like it's not. I.E. applications that require Root access claim that the phone isn't.
i may be a little behind on all the terms but im pretty sure for the vogue its not root its NAND.
in that case, try this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=636024
as a good place to start then move on from there.
good luck and welcome to the club
Strange, programs like root explorer function fine for me, tho the system partition is mounted as read-only by default which may cause problems with some apps?
It's rooted, but my guess is those apps are looking for a feature common on rooted phones and not finding it. they might mean that the system partition is not writable, that can be changed using terminal:
Code:
mount -o rw,remount /system
see if that does it.
mrkite38, I tried using terminal like you said, and it returned" mount: permission denied. (are you root?) "
Also, I can use ES File Explorers' Root Explorer option and edit /system and /data just fine, and that app mounts as writable just fine, but terminal doesn't?

Thanks I'll try that. hey is there any place I could go to find some kind of shortcut/noob/command list for terminal? I have no knowledge whatsoever of code to use
Its stripped out linux shell, you can google busybox and see what commands are available there.

the phone is rooted, check to see if you have SuperUser.apk installed. you will need that for apps to access root privileges
Here is the SuperUser.apk file from RLS 17
Need to be logged in to download it I think?
Hey Guys,
I want to apply the BatteryMod in XXJPK, but when I want to overwrite the existing "framework-res.apk" and it says "Not enough free space". But I deleted some ringtones and the "free" space doesn't change!
Any Fixes?
My system:
I9000XXJPK
Root
OCLF v2.1
Hope for help ;-)

The instructions were written using adb (shell), obviously for a good reason. Some of these system files are in use permanently, or almost so.
In this case, replacing framework-res.apk, even using adb (manually) you'll notice quite a few errors from background tasks. Hence the vibrations...
The strangeness here isn't that you couldn't write the file but that you were able to delete the original. I'm pretty sure that this is a linux (superuser) trait/ prerogative.
The problem persists! Its says no space left ob device! Any help?

Did you resolve it? i have the same problem..
Hey!
I have the same Problem when I try to .
And when I delete the framework-res.apk with root explorer I have excactly the same amount of free space as before, so that I'm not able to paste the new file, because there is not enough space in system/framework.
I'm running JP6 with root and z4mod.
Thanks alot.
I will try wipe cache and data..maybe it's something after nww rom install..

I reflashed firmware (JM8 then JPM/JP6) and kernel (JP6, z4modded JP6) and wiped data and cache several times... still the same problem...
I found this problem also but now I found the solution. Just try the busybox 1.15.3.
Need to use root explorer to delete some crap first like email.all re built in email.. and widgets etc

Well just happens with some rooms. But i dont know how to find tab crap on my /system

Make sure you have installed latest Superuser.apk.
Get latest Root Explorer and make sure that /system ist mounted read-write not read-only (read-only is standard on newer froyo-firmwares).
I can delete files in system. I replaced android.policy.odex for the stock lock lockscreen and it worked.. now I'm deleting some apps from /system/app to get more free space.. but not everytime I delete a file the free space in /system is increased.
Please somebody enlighten us. I find this situation bit odd.
Must be some kind of error/bug.
Please help here - I get this error as well and it is nowhere to be solved!
I'm on x10 mini with root access and R/W activated in Super Manager..
with linux can you view the main system on a mobile phone in our case the droid 3. I'm thinking although I have no idea if I'm thinking right. But I'm asking is if linux showing the system and sd card and so on could we not create a presumed theme with superuser and everything else need for root, inject it into the system content create a special App witch applies the theme and creates root it self. So I'm thinking if we are not able to make this theme active through maybe adb? I noticed this while using win7 that through a command terminal a created them can modify windows system files and so on. Yes I do realize windows automatically gives administrator permission but this also worked on a non admin user profile pretty much what we are without root permission.
PS. I just started using linux so I don't fully understand it but I do understand win7 completely
P,

Nope. Doesn't work like that. If you can get terminal to run from /system, that would work. But to do that, you need to remount /system as r/w, and to do that, you need root. Thus, SOL for now.
Got the new one for 5.7.906 rooted and dled script manager
when I run psouza4's script after answering questions about what I wanted to keep
It froze right away saying myverizon.apk was read only or something
rebooting... reboot not permitted.
so.. I figured I'd just change that one manually.. changed it, ran it again.. and it froze saying file not found...
so i edited to script to remove that one command/file..
ran it again and i got
"working please wait.....
reboot: operation not permitted"
so I was going to go the titanium route but I can't afford pro version.. also reading through psouza4's thread it notes that some apps will circumvent freezing and load anyway unless renamed..
[q1] does anyone else have this problem with script and if so what was the fix?
[q2] if I have to rename everything manually (a huge pain in the arse) what are the names of the *.apk's associated with
home launcher, motorolas text messaging, widgits, swipe keyboard, ect.. in his list so i don't accidentally remove them?
Thanks!

Ensure usb debugging is on under development in application settings. Verify you are rooted, if not, only motofail will root 906. Else, try using a root browser, or manually make /system and /system/app writable before running the script.

root = verified
/system and /system/app set to R/W
usb debuging = on
used modified script removing all instances of 2>/dev/null and reboot command
now I'm getting *.apk not read/writable
confirm that /system and /system/app it set to read/write and when i hit properties.. only the read box is checked.. so i go to change it again.. and the other boxes (read,write,execute) are already checked... I don't understand.
I have the newest version of busy box installed I know he changed the syntax after v1.182 but I can't seem to find a copy of that version.. maybe thats the problem? ugh..

When you loaded the script into script manager, did you check the select to allow the script to run with SU permissions? in other words, you start script manager, you load the debloat script, there are a bunch of options available before you hit the "run" button, one of which allows the script to run with root permissions. My guess is that you missed that, based on what you are describing.
Thanks to everyone who contributed.. :good:
got it to work.. It was afterall allowing to run the script as root as doogald suggested.. can't believe i missed that.
THANKS
Hi everyone
I'm trying to get the infamous GPS Location Spoofer installed as a system app on my rooted HTC phone, but so far no luck, so I figured I would try to ask for help here, in case anyone went through a similar situation, or knows what I've been doing wrong. This is what I tried so far:
Installed the app from Google App store, and using File Explorer with root , tried to move the app folder to /system/app or /system/priv-app, , but pasting the folder there would result in an instant reboot and the app would not be there.
So I installed lucky patcher , and using apk downloader, downloaded the apk file from the App Store, copied it over to the phone, and used the "Rebuild and Install" option, choosing the option to install it as a system app , and it would process it and say that the installation was sucessfull, needs to reboot to complete, but after the reboot the app would not be there (not only not showing on the apps list, but navigating to the /system folder with File Explorer and checking app and priv-app I could verify that it was not installed).
SO I tried to use adb shell to do the work , and this is what I did:
mount -o remount /dev/block/mmcblk0p35 /system
to mount the /system filesystem as read write , and it did
cp /sdcard/Download/com.incorporateapps.fakegps.fre-55.apk /system/app
to copy the file under /system/app
chmod 644 com.incorporateapps.fakegps.fre-55.apk
to set the permissions as required
and reboot the phone, but after the reboot, the file would not be there. I tried also to create a folder under /system/app named com.incorporateapps.fakegps.fre-55, move the apk inside; installing normally , changing the mount point to read-write and moving it from /data/app to /system/app or /system/priv-app using the shell and chaning ownership / permissions , but the app will not stick , either rebooting or just re-mounting the filesystem as read-only again will cause everything that was done to be lost; and after trying any of the above one time, doing it for a second time would cause the phone to reboot.
I figure that there must be an image of the /system mount point somewhere , which gets installed every time there is a remount to read-only or reboot , or something of that nature, that will cause any changes made under /system to be lost. Maybe I'm wrong but it seems to be related to HTC phones, since there's load of people doing it on other models without issues, or maybe I'm doing something wrong, since I'm no android expert
Does anyone knows what could be the issue, or what can I do ? I searched the net quite a bit for a solution to no avail (here as well), any help is appreciated
Thanks

And there's your problem. Stock kernel has system write protection, so you can't mount system as writeable. You can, but after reboot, it comes back to read only, and nothing will stick into system partition. You have 2 choices now - disable system write protection on stock kernel, or flash a custom kernel

oh I see.. didn't know about that , thanks! I'll check about disabling system write protection , otherwise look for a custom kernel, never did it before but will give it a try

Sorry you feel that way, but I appreciate the help anyway. This is something that I never tampered with before, so I still had some doubts about the process, but I am liking the whole thing and will install a custom rom on my own phone, been reading about the Ressurection rom and it looks very nice, will try it as soon as I'm better informed
