Is there a way to get tHe nexus one to be able to latch onto adhoc networks? As it stands my n1 isn't even reading the SSID, does anyone have a solution to this?
http://android.modaco.com/content/g...-com/300596/nexus-one-connect-to-ad-hoc-wifi/
Read the post about wpa_supplicant.conf modification.
You can also edit /system/etc/wpa_supplicant.conf and change "ap_scan=2" there.
You can also try running Cyanogen.
Thanks for that. I'm running froyo right now so no cyangen for now. How exactly do i edit those files? It didn't exactly explain that...
Rooted? Otherwise you won't be able to do anything.
adb remount
adb pull /system/etc/wpa_supplicant.conf wpa_supplicant.conf
edit wpa_supplicant.conf with whatever text editor on PC, change ap_scan value.
adb push wpa_supplicant.conf /system/etc/wpa_supplicant.conf
If anything is unclear - I suggest you not to try. No responsibility, etc.
I tried using adb anditdidnt work for me.
Didn't work - how? What was the error and when?
It says that the file i am trying to pull doesn't exist.
Sorry, my bad. It's /system/etc/wifi/wpa_supplicant.conf
To make sure, do adb shell /system/etc/wifi/ and make sure that it's there.
I've tried this again and again and again but still no success.. wonder if ever anyone successfully connect to adhoc network on froyo...
I have tryed on my Nexus one and Failed.
I have added "ap_scan=2" in the beginning. "mode=1" on required network section.
What I have noticed, that any time you add|delete|modify any network in Settings->Wifi Settinings ..... line with "ap_scan" is removed.

Just put framework-res apk from original rom into /system/framework/ and reboot and it will appear again.If you say what rom you are using,I would be more accurate in your answer
im on a stock ics rom and partially rooted. btw, can i use es explorer to access contents of system directory?

By partial root,do you mean root access but no cwm???I dont think you can use esexplorer because it doesnt have root access to access root files.You need file manger app with root access like rootexplorer
yes, i followed deathst guide for rooting a stock ics but i didn't implemented the full root instructions for partially rooted gnote
is the framework res apk available in the forum?

In this thread you will get the Flashable zip file of system ui.... In revert back link.
Download and flash it in recovery....

Now that we have root, anyone figured how to enable data toggle?
Is there a way to do it without sqllite app ($2.99)?

I have sqlite app but it does not work it gives code 14 error with i try to open settings.db. From what I see others are saying its because of the stock kernel preventing settings.db from being access by sqlite. I am looking into it i'll let you know if I find out something.
Data Togles
There is a way to do it posted in the Sprint forum.
I can confirm that it does work with the ATT variant.
I tried it and it works.

I tried with SQLite Debugger app. I added MobileData and Data to the value.
The values are updated correctly.
After I reboot, I cannot see Mobile data toggle. I have also tried just adding MobileData. That too did not work
Google around for the app and download it for free and install it. Then follow this link. It worked for my AT&T S5.

SQLite Editor works
Thanks. I got 'SQLite Editor' and it worked.
After reboot, I was able to view MobileData in the toggles.
First time when you click the toggle, it brings up the setting page to enable Mobile data.
After that, it behaved as normal toggle.
I had tried below apps - But did not work.
sqlite Database Editor - This never completed loading Application database. Hence did not work
SQLite Debugger - I was able to modify settings.db. When I run the query again after reboot, I could see the modified value.
But toggle was never visible. After installing SQLite Editor, when I ran the query, MobileData was not there.
So I assume, SQLite Debugger never changed settings.db. I had system partition mounted as rw using root explorer.

It has step-by-step on how to do with sqllite.
Also make sure you have /system mounted read-write before running the steps.
To bring back your phone back to life, please check other threads. Many people had issue S5 stopping at att boot logo. All those were related to enabling Ultra power saving mode.

You remind me of me. You're making it much harder than it is.
If your're getting code 14 error, then you're probably using an older version of sqlite editor, or one of the other sqlites, if I'm not mistaken. And, you're not going to get too many suggestions on where to get apps free from around here.
Now, to bring your phone back, I recommend either using my guide, or the one in the ultra power save thread. But, you only need to flash the AP file in Odin if you don't want to factory reset your phone right away.
I am using the last sqlite editor 2.1.

Hi All,
Since I am getting nowhere and no replies for my questions, I am going to rephrase them differently here so hopefully someone can jump in and give me a helping hand... (and please forgive if I seem to bombard the forums with questions).
My Note 3 SM-N900A, build KOT49H.N900AUCUCNC2, running 4.4.2. It is having issues with permissions that effectively block the phone from seeing any SD Card, USB, and internal memory space. It won't access any remote resources like internet or Google Play...either
Issues arose after I changed platform.xml. I since then unrooted the phone and uninstalled SuperSU. I can see that these 3 changes were reckless on my part, that I just put the phone into a very bad state that made it very very difficult to recover. I am still banging my head for the blunders but obviously that didn't help fix the phone. :crying:
I would like to know if there is a way to gain access to the phone's system area again to fix the permission issues. Can I use ADB Shell along with USB debugging? If yes, what are the commands I need? Can I somehow send towelroot and SuperSU to the phone via Odin and execute them? The reason I ask this is that I have no way to access any storage area on the phone, and there is no way to go online to download apps. Or can I put the phone into service mode by typing in the *# numbers on the keypad and hopefully fix it there?
Thank you
At this point I'm not even sure if adb would be able to access your memory card to push TowelRoot to it. You might be best off restoring using the stock Odin files, lick your wounds, start over and chalk it up as a learning experience.

Ah, thanks for replying. I was really worrying about that too.
However, I just installed ADT on my PC and connected to the phone via USB debugging. Using the adb shell ls command, I could see the entire directory structure. I was able to get to the system folder too.
I pulled the platform.xml back and attached to this message. Could you or someone please take a look and let me know if anything is wrong in the file? I made very small changes and reverted them. So it should be same as original, but I am not so sure. Also do you know if the encoding of the file is wrong so that Android couldn't read it?
At this point, it appears all is NOT lost. I just need some of your experts to guide me thru the commands needed to regain the access to my SD card or storage from the phone.
Now, let me bring in another point: Prior to having all this snafu, I granted ES File Explorer root access so that I could overwrite the platform.xml file. I don't know if doing that messed up the system. If it did, what would be the most straight forward way, simplest way to try to get back to normal? Provided now adb seems to be able to access the files and directory.
I know I could try install towelroot again, but would like to see if I can bring the system back to normal operation first.
Thanks
I may be wrong, but adb being able to see and pull system files is one thing. To get adb to actually modify system files, you'd need to be able to give adb root access. You may however be able to download the TowelRoot apk to your computer, put it in the same directory as adb, then in the command prompt type "adb push towelroot.apk /data/app/" (without quotes). Reboot and see if TowelRoot installed.

Edit: instead of using adb push, use "adb install towelroot.apk" (if that's the actual package name). Go through the rooting process, download the ES File Explorer apk to your computer install it using adb. Hopefully if all that works, you'll be able to check and fix any permissions that got messed up with your platform.xml. It should be rw-r-r.

OK. You are right. adb doesn't have write access yet.
I tried this and got success:
C:\AndroidDev\sdk\platform-tools>adb install tr.apk
1767 KB/s (113099 bytes in 0.062s)
pkg: /data/local/tmp/tr.apk
Success
What should I do next? Does it mean the tr.apk has been installed?
Thanks
Update: I saw the Towelroot app in the App Drawer, but after clicking on it and choosing "make it ralr", I got message "Unfortunately, towelroot has stopped."

Yeah, it is installed in the App drawer, but running it gave me error "Unfortunately, towelroot has stopped.".
I went ahead and install both ES File Explorer and SuperUser packages. From ES FE, I could look at the /system/ect/permissions/platform.xml and could see that it had a different date, its date is older, 3/15/2014. I think it came with the N900AUCUCNC2 that I flashed with Odin yesterday.
So, it appears the permission come from a different place or source, I would like to know where Android actually sees the permissions. You know, how did it think that it needed to lock down read/write access to storage areas while the /system folder has been replaced.
Thanks

Thanks for hanging in and helping, you don't know how much I appreciate your time!
I did the all in one first. That didn't help. Then I did it again with the re-partition with PIT file. But that didn't help either. I didn't try the 4 files individually for fear of losing data.

I think you've just about done everything you can do without a complete Odin reinstall and reformat. If adb pull is working for you I suggest pulling the folders you want to save and doing the complete 4 file install with the PIT file as well.
Someone more experienced than I may be able to get you back up without losing your but tbh with the amount of troubleshooting you've done already I think a full Odin reinstall is your best option and will prevent any issues that could stem from this further down the line.
The only thing I can think of with towelroot is that it needs internet access to run were you connected to wifi when you ran it? It's probably not that simple but figured it couldn't hurt to try!

Hi there,
Thanks for replying. I am kind of afraid I will have to go down that route, but at the same time trying not to if I could.
One of the other reasons I didn't try the 4 files was because I thought the all-in-one, as its name suggested, would be equivalent to those 4 files.
Is there a way to pull the SMS, MMS, call logs from the phone via adb? Do you know where those records are kept?
Thanks

The all-in-one file is the same as the 4 files, the only difference is installing it doesn't wipe the internal storage.
Have you tried running adb backup? That would be a heck of a lot easier than pulling a bunch of folders...if that doesn't work the databases are in /data/data
Calls: /data/data/com.android.providers.contacts
SMS and MMS: data/data/com.android.providers.telephony
Is there is any shell command to long tap

Fairly sure you need to be rooted to mod system files even with ADB, or at least have TWRP installed, in which case you might as well root too as you have already tripped KNOX
or you can just use this app:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=by4a.setedit22
set
need_dark_navigationbar to 1
need_dark_statusbar to 1
then go switch it to black..
you might need adb initially to get the app permission but its only needed to do once.. actually, you dont need permission for that as its in system settings.. if u want to change secure or global settings you need to set the adb perms

not true in this case.. those values are in settings.. you can do it in adb also if you use the settings binary similar to what i just posted.. the app is probably the easiest tho plus u can edit pretty much any setting with the app

Just changed those lines both to 1, but no black has appeared
Also I have a problem with low notification / ringtone sounds, I see there are level settings for that too
What is the adb command to get the full permissions for the app to edit everything? The values are reset back to 0 after a reboot
