how to remove boot sound

which is a bit noisy during the nite:
mv /system/media/bootscreen/boot.mp3 /system/media/bootscreen/boot.mp3.bak
http://www.htcmania.com/showthread.php?t=89160

Or you could just edit the boot_animation.xml in the same folder and set useAudio="1" to useAudio="0"
theres three of them, just set all three to "0" and the phone will boot silently.

I used the following method:
Code:
adb pull /system/media/bootscreen/boot_animation.xml .
Use what you like to edit it. I use gedit all the time.
Code:
adb push boot_animation.xml /system/media/bootscreen/
ps. You need to root and insmod tattoo-hack.ko, or flash the mainfram3.boot.img.

[Q] location of etc/init.d

HI
I am running sok 4.7.8 on a Samsung i9000 and need to disable VSF. I know the SOK thread mentions to place a special script in the /etc/init.d directory but it is not available on my phone. I used a file browser with root access to search for it.
Any ideas?

Request for help: Setting write permission for pppd-ril.options file

Hello,
I need some help with permission setting. Im trying to edit the pppd-ril.options file in system/etc/ppp/peers/ but it is not write enabled.
Using rooted file explorers still brings no avail to setting the write permission.
Tried to use chmod 777 using terminal emulator but it says the system is read only
Also tried exploring with QPST, but can't see the system folder at all.
I need to edit this file as it contains 3G settings I need to adjust.
Help would be much appreciated!

From the terminal
busybox mount -o remount,rw /system

You seem can read chinese
haha

Thanks much! I edited the file and can finally enjoy China Telecom 3G on western ROM!

[Q] How Check Full ROOT on Z1?

Hey Guys,
I got a simply question, I got root but I don't know if I got FULL ROOT, How to check that?
Yes, on Play Store there are 1000 of apps but I don't trust them.
Any commands from Terminal to Determine if I have Full Root?

Uhm open a terminal and make a file in "/system" I guess. You can do that using the following command: "touch /system/roottest.txt".
Better answer provided here.

Get root in terminal first by typing
Code:
su
Then mount system as RW and make a directory by typing
Code:
mount -o remount,rw system
mkdir /system/test
or, mount system using root explorer and then do this
Code:
su
mkdir /system/test
Trust me, you have full root....

Ok.

I just Check in.

A bit confused here with that code....
adb shell mount -o remount,rw system
mkdir /system/test[/code]
It have to be like that in Terminal?

Check his post again, he corrected himself.

@gregbradley
I think I have a problem, what you think? It tells me that system/test is Read-Only..

use root explorer to mount system then try the mkdir again
or just root explorer to mount system..as soon as you can do that you have root.....
Full root just means you keep root after a reboot and the security of the RIC has been disabled

I am not familiar with that, which Root Explorer are you referring too?

eclyptos said:

root explorer
look on the play store
or use any explorer that can gain root...and just modify something in system...change permission, delete or make a file...
if you just reboot your phone and run an app that requires root and it works then you have full root.

There is no need... I am really unsure on why you are asking this. Seeing as you have posted loads of help posts about this I would expect you to know the difference and know that you have full root.
Trust me, you have it.

If you are not allowed to modify system that's because is not mounted as Rw. Go to ES, make sure you have turned on root explorer and then click on root explorer. A pop up will appear, then select where says mount system as Rw.

You see! OMG! That was the stupid thing...sooo stupid! You are the man. Now everything is working.
ES was granted by Su and it now allow me to modified System files and folders.
After executing the commands in Terminal I find a new folder named "test" in System. Thanx to @gregbradley
Thank you all!

Can't run a script

hello I'm trying to run a script but I can't it gives me the errors in screenshot. I run it as root. I'm s-off.
here's the script. (note that I can do this manually with a file explorer)
chmod 777 /sys
chmod 660 /sys/android_camera_awb_cal/awb_cal
cp /sdcard/htcm8awb/awb_cal /sys/android_camera_awb_cal/awb_cal

Need some more information, please. First off, do you have an HTC One m7 (Sprint) or an HTC One M8? From your script, it looks like it is made for the M8. This is the thread for the m7 Sprint variant.

I have the m7 international (I believe this section is for m7 any version), I'm only replacing a file with the script.

Did you ever have any luck? Can you try asking the question to the person who wrote the script?
It's quite possible the script is for the m8 since the script names an m8 folder, but I'm not an expert on scripts by any means. @clsA: Do you know what may be going on here?
Do those directories referred to in your screenshot actually exist on your phone?
Also: I was wrong about this being Sprint variant exclusive. My bad on that.

Try using SManager to run the script. It might help.

I can rename the folder.... it's simply a folder. the scrip is made for m7. not m8. It does work for some in init.d and some don't.. like me. and I tried to run the script to see why and this is what happens. the folders are there because as I said I can do that step by step in ES explorer, change permissions then replace the file I want.

with Smanager I get the message is attached. :\
I tried to run a cp command in a terminal (root) and it says the same thing " I/O error" the other steps in script I did successfully in a terminal.
Tried too with 'busybox cp' command and I get " cp: can't create '/sys/android_camera_awb_cal/awb_cal': File exists " so I know the file exists that's why I wan't to replace it xD my head hurts. Searched a lot why I can't copy and no success.

I am not able to get the exact reason for the problem but most such things get solved on updating busybox. Try doing that. Use the tool by jrummy from the market or download the busybox wraithdu installer script from the v6 supercharger thread by zeppelinrox.

i would guess you're using Windows Notepad (or similar) to edit/create that script?
you need to use UNIX style EOL delimiters for those commands to work.
EDIT: i've attached an example, the same script (just lists directory contents), looks the same in the Script Runner, once saved with Windows EOL delimiters, gives the first output,
same script with UNIX EOL, gives the second output.

Yes I used the notepad to edit the original. now with your help I did understand and used the notepad++, converted to UNIX EOL and saved as script (sh). No errors now on missing directories but I can't copy/replace the file even with cp -f to force it. I can't understand which command ES explorer uses when I manually copy the file, because it replaces the file successfully.

Not sure, but
Are you running the script as root?
And maybe you need file permission to be 666 instead of 660.
