[Q] Adb Remount.

hey guys
Got a Note yesterday.... cant adb remount, am rooted.
How do i mount so adblock etc can work ?
ive forgotten everything ive learnt about the SGS II .
Screenview attached.

Make sure you have full root working. check it by pasting any file in system folder.
And also you should have Galaxy note usb drivers installed

root is working for all applications etc,
I suppose it doesnt help ive gone for an ICS Rom. my confusion is i am able to edit almost all files under root explorer minus the system file "/System"

If you are able to alter the system in any way i.e modify/remove any file from /system only then you can be sure you have full root.

hmmm problem removing any system apps through TitBackup fails.
Ive tried looking at adb shell root but that doesnt fully work either
What am i missing here?

Well then, flash the chinese ICS CF repack through odin, then flash imilka's aosp for now in recovery and after flashing do a factory reset, and then boot into download mode and flash CF root 5.2. It'll be fine I think, and u'll have root
Edit: TRR 1.6 has angelom's 1.2 kernal, that is seem to causing a lot of bricks, so flash imilka's for now(it dnt have kernal with it) untill others come up with their bugs free updates

Just flash this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=19030788&postcount=6
Problem solved.
You could _try_ extracting the zImage file from that archive and see if CWM Manager will let you flash it directly - will almost certainly fail if root isn't working properly though.
Otherwise, you may have to go back to a rootable kernel, or otherwise flash with Odin and then deal with the yellow triangle later.

[Q] Root on JB 41.2 always freezes Computer!

Hi everyone!
My device: XT890
I´m on
JB 4.1.2,
Build Nummer 9.8.21-50_SMI-26.1358455837
Bootloader unlocked (done this under ICS)
System: 91.2.26001.XT890.Retail.en.EU
Baseband: Sunrise_SMB_REV30_V2_R3_Enzo_1251.B_SEC
my Problem:
No way to get root, every method i tried failed.
Using the Fastboot commands in the CMD and try to push the recovery rzri-tryAtouch.img my PC freezes, the phone shows "downloading" but nothing happens..
I have to reboot my PC and my phone.
If fastboots doesn´t stuck, it says, that the image is "too large" like that, also totally stuck.
Also a fail with the boot logo...
Now my questions:
-Can i use "RDS lite" to flash a prerooted rom to root my RazR i?
Or what to do to flash the cwm recovery to install the RazRIRoot2?
If i´m on stock recovery, the installation aborted!!
I´m not sure if i understand the whole thread...
-What to do to root my phone? (its already bootloader unlocked!)
Please help!!
-IMPORTANT!:
Solved the issue by Wiping the phone, disable Firewall and Malewarybytes, then flash like in this Video explained-everthing works fine. And
I got root on JB 4.1.2 ! Thanks !

...and you are totaly frustrated, right? Same like me-until i find this video. Files are attached in the links below the vid, same like here at XDA. I tried to post the link, but i can´t... But go on Youtube, look for " how to update/unbrick/root RazR I (4.1.2) Jelly Bean." from TheRazrGuy.
Do it exactly like he does!
Especially the click on "fastboot" before launch the "root".bat
Be sure to disable your firewall/antivir or something like that.
Also take a look, if the Debug is still enabeld..
Be sure-it works!

[Q] Rooted, no SU Binaries

Hi. I have Android 2.3.6 on my Galaxy Ace. I wanted to root it with upd_1.zip. I used the stock recovery. It said installation complete, so I rebooted. The Superuser icon has appeared in my app drawer so I was very happy that it was successful, but my SuperUser says that I haven't got SU binaries, so I haven't got any root access. I've searched for similar problems, but I didn't find any. What do I do now?

Sorry buddy, never heard of such an issue. I guess you try to Unroot and Root again. U may try xda for some better Root procedure or search my blog www.andro-sapien.blogspot.in.
Do let me know if it is sorted out by Re-Rooting.

pls help
So, I unrooted and rooted and there's the same issue. Original Superuser says - Checking available version failed, so I tried to delete the app data - that didn't work. I updated the Superuser and it says that I doesn't have SU binaries.

or
https://hotfile.com/dl/180452656/3c2538d/gingerbred-2.3.6-root.zip.html

I actually have a similar sounding problem but arrived at it differently.
My phone had been rooted and working OK for over a year. At some point the latest superuser binary stopped functioning with adb wireless.
So I downloaded SuperSU a few months ago and it's different binary fixed that particular issue. So all was working fine until failing to update that binary today. I'm now in the same boat as you but don't have a clue how or why.

This 2 files are the same as my upd_1.zip. The very same. My upd_1.zip has xbin with busybox, su etc. but it doesn't want to be flashed for some reason. The only files in my xbin folder (in the phone) are : busybox, dexdump, although I flashed the other needed binaries. What is this? Is this my phone's fault?
@edit : Can I flash CWM without those binaries?

Yes you can, and then you can try to flash root again.
If not you can flash CF-Root (only for Gingerbread!!) maybe it works :S
1º Flash via recovery CWM
http://www.mediafire.com/download/u331vcwkr36c28n/CF-Root-S5830-v3.7-b84.zip
2º Flash via CWM APP, it'll fix the bootanimation
when your android will boot, go to CWM app (in your drawer) and select "Flash kernel" and select this file
http://dfiles.eu/files/1sfl9qotm

I flashed CWM Recovery, and now when I select install zip from sdcard and select root file, it says error 7 - update aborted.
@edit - I found the AceGingerRoot.zip. Is it legit and can I install it on GT-S5830 (it has different MD5 than upd_1.zip and root.zip).

I've always used Acegingeroot to get root permissions... do what you consider more solutions, impossible

Acegingerroot didn't worked. No errors at all, but still no root access.

What rom are you using?
Is GT-S5830 your device model?
Did you try CF-Root b84?
Have you got enough free internal memory?
if you have Thinkfree installed, try to delete it flashing this file before flashing root file:

I use the stock ROM - GINGERBREAD.XWKTQ (from the Polish mobile network Play Mobile)
Yes, I have GT-S5830 (checked twice in settings and on box)
No, i didn't tried it.
I have 54 MB left.
I have ThinkFree.
Is ThinkFree Office the problem?

The last firmwares haven't enough space in system partition to push correctly root files, I don't know about your rom, I'm using KTM form Spain as base and I've never had a trouble, but if your problem is that your rom is using all the internal memory (system partition) you couldn't push root files, so you can try deleting ThinkFree from the system partition and then try to root your phone...

Hey, but when I have got CWM flashed, can I flash a custom ROM without those binaries? I just wanted to root my Ace because I wanted to have ICS.

umm I think, yes... I've read post where people have flashed CWM and then a custom rom, but I wouldn't advise you to do it directly... anyway you can try it if you want and report then what happened

Actually, I'm gonna wait till more people on forum will help me. I don't want to risk so much. I don't know what can I do.

LOL! Well thought out! I wouldn't do it either
if upd_1, acegingeroot, and cf-root didn't work and you want to root your device, the best way is to use Odin and to flash a fresh stock rom which it allows you to flash this files

OK. I'm gonna do that, but can you post me some links with download and instructions for my Ace?
And - if I flash a new ROM with Odin, will my CWM recovery disappear?
Oh, I found my ROM on Samfirmware from Play Mobile (XWKTQ 2.3.6), so there's no point of installing it right? I need just a fine ROM with polish language.
EDIT - I almost forgot - I didn't tried the Delete_thinkdroid.zip thingy. I'm gonna flash it now and post the results.
EDIT 2 - WHAT?! I flashed Delete_thinkdroid.zip and it didn't even deleted it. I still have ThinkFree and it's working! Guess i'm gonna need that new ROM. It seems that my ROM just refuses to use recovery flashing in any way.

CWM will disappear, but you can flash it again after flashing a stock rom so no problem

Bootlooping after S-OFF, Root and Clockwork Recovery

Hi,
I have just performed the revone s-off on my phone, then rooted it using PaulOBrien's simple method then finally flashed clockwork recovery.
Everything seemed to work fine and my phone booted perfectly.
Now i have just come to reboot it and it after trying out clockwork recovery has just been non stop boot looping. I can get into recovery fine still but im not really sure how best to proceed with the least pain possible. Im quite happy on the stock rom so dont really want to start again on the phone with a new rom if i can avoid it.
Any suggestions?
Thanks,

Reboot to bootloader
Connect to pc in fastboot mode
Using adb <fastboot erase cache>
Reboot.
Try and see if it works

Does your phone happen to be a sprint version?

Not quite sure why you followed Paul's method as it is pretty redundant these days. All you have to do is flash the Superuser.zip from CWM for root access...
Can you still get into CWM? If so, flash this via adb sideload:
http://download.clockworkmod.com/superuser/superuser.zip

I guess it seemed like a good idea at the time. Regreting it now tho! :-/
Just tried the adb sideload and all flashed fine but still now working
Any more ideas?! Feeling stupid now!

So I'm assuming CWM recognised the adb sideload and flashed the ROM file and said success afterwards? Might be worth trying CM 10.1 instead of a ROM using Aroma (seeing as it's crap and keeps crashing)

Stuck on bootloader unlocked screen.

Hello,
I yesterday got new at&t Atrix hd with android 4.0.4. I updated to newest 4.1.2 (I think). I rooted it with Motochopper. I tried to install CWM with Myth Tool. Didn't work.
Finally I installed CWM with this method.
Install CWM Recovery by Epinter
Read Epinter's RAZR HD CWM Thread
Download the recovery image
On stock rom, navigate to /system/etc and rename install-recovery.sh to install-recovery.sh.bak
Reboot into fastboot -- use "adb reboot bootloader" from Terminal\Command Prompt
Wipe the existing recovery -- "fastboot erase recovery" !
Flash the recovery with "fastboot flash recovery cwmrecovery6028-xt925_20130219-epinter.img"
That's it, CWM is installed.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Then I installed [ROM] CM 10.2 (Android 4.3) for AtrixHD from zip in CWM. Everything was working great till turned Atrix off.
Then it stuck on "bootloader unlocked" screen. Most of the time I was not able to enter CWM but one time somehow I managed to enter CWM, if I use restart option in CWM after restart android loaded successfully. Tried restart again but I was not able to enter recovery and got stuck again. After messing around with volume/power key somehow android loaded again successfully (without enter recovery).
Now it's working but I'm scared to restart or do anything.
What do you think? What should I do? Is it ROM problem, system or what?
Currently there are no install-recovery.sh (or install-recovery.sh.bak) file. Maybe this could be problem?
I would appreciate any help.
Thanks!

Are you sure the install-recovery.sh file is not installed? Just to make sure, I would install Root Explore to use that to check to make sure.

I don't have root access but I think I should be able to see that file, right?

Do you have root access? You need to install a file manager like Root Explorer so you can easily change the file permissions and rename the file by adding .bak to the end of the file name.
Weird, I don't see it either. I see it in mine though.

No, I don't have root access. I hope it's ROMs issue. CM10.2 doesn't come with root access. There are weird things going on with my phone. I really hope that other ROM will fix that. Thanks for reply.

Maybe you could install Root Explorer. Maybe that will allow you to see the file.

I also have problems getting straight into recovery sometimes but if I hold vol up+vol down+power I can select recovery from there. as far root on cm 10.2 flash superuser.zip

Can you tell me what key combinations you use for what purpose? I doubt you make a mistake there...
