Can some one please help me..please.. is there any way to root this FRG83, please??

This method does not work anymore.. you have to go a different method..
you can try this method
Code:
adb push rageagainstthecage-arm5.bin /data/local/tmp/
adb shell
$chmod 700 /data/tmp rageagainstthecage
exit
go to sdk/tools
/tools>freenexus.bat
adb shell
$cd data/local/tmp
ls
check if all files are in
rage
su
Superuser.apk
busybox
$./rageagainstthecage

DONT TYPE ANYTHING TILL YOU HERE THE ADB ON PHONE RESTARTS.
C:/adb kill-server
C:/adb start-server
adb shell
#
should get pound sign if not run ragecage again and dont do anything to you here the last ding on computer
#cd /data/local/tmp
#./busybox cp busybox /system/bin/
(if get read-only error do this
mount -o remount,rw /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system)
#chmod 4755 /system/bin/busybox
#./busybox cp Superuser.apk /system/app
#./busybox cp su /system/bin/
#chmod 4755 /system/bin/su
#exit
if $ type exit again
then go into terminal on phone, and type su
if you get the # you have root once again! yay!
now to install busybox command
adb shell
$su
#cd /sdcard
#sh ./installbusybox.sh
thats it
i dont have files i will upload in a bit before i have to go
ok for busybox installing on phone..
put installer.sh
and busybox on root of sdcard
then follow rest of instructions..pretty simple
put su,busybox,and all the freenexus stuff in sdktools

man thanks alot for your help, but im really a noob.
wud u mind telling me step by step, i know it sounds pretty stupid but pls just guide in the right direction. Much appreciated.

Ouch. I hope you can laugh about this one day. I'm sure you'll have root again.
Have you ever heard the term "curiosity kills the cat".
You knew enough to get root, revert to stock so that you could apply 2.2.1, to discover the hard way that the .1 was mainly, if nothing more than a security patch locking out root. And now need coles notes for above. Sorry, that'll be funny after you have root again.
In the meantime, I hope you find solace in paving the road for future noobs starting new from 2.2.1.
Anyway, the majority of the guide above are sequences while in ADB. You had to use some adb to get
root the first time. Google and do a little research on the subject. You need to polish up as I think the warnings above about "don't do anything until", are warnings to avoid bricking. If this procedure is that risky then your ounce of comprehension is worth a ton of hand holding.

and yes gotto do this thru adb
so you get the ragecage arm5
and go to android sdk/tools> and from there do adb push.. and im sure you can do the rest

If you are running windows, did you run freenexus.bat? I think that step was not mentioned unless u looked at the readme file in the freenexus.zip files.

Looks like you don't have the rageagainstthecage binary on your phone.
Doing 'adb shell ls -l /data/local/tmp' on your computer should get you something like this:
Code:
-rwxrwxrwx shell shell 5392 2010-08-25 01:42 rageagainstthecage-arm5.bin
-rwxr-xr-x shell shell 1926944 2010-03-22 20:29 busybox
-rwxrwxrwx shell shell 26248 2010-07-22 10:20 su
-rwxrwxrwx shell shell 27688 2010-07-22 10:19 Superuser.apk
There might be some other files in there; it's these that matter. If you don't see them then do all the 'adb push' and 'adb shell chmod' stuff in the previously linked instructions.

If you can't follow these instrucstions, you should NOT be rooting anyhow, since you obviously have NO IDEA what you are doing.
1) Get rageagainstthecage-arm5.bin
http://stealth.openwall.net/xSports/RageAgainstTheCage.tgz
2) Get Superuser.apk, busybox,su
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/1327667/freenexus.zip
3) Get the Android SDK (ADB)
http://dl.google.com/android/android-sdk_r07-windows.zip
4a) Unzip android SDK (e.g. so that the tools folder is F:\ADB\)
4b) connect Nexus One with with "applications=>development=>USB debug enabled" (and install USB driver if necessary)
5) Unzip/unrar files within RageAgainstTheCage.tgz to F:\ADB\
6) Unzip/unrar files within freenexus.zip to F:\ADB\
7) Open command prompt go to F:\ADB
[7b) Verify that your nexus one is connected and responding - type "adb devices" it should list your N1
8) Now within the command prompt do the following (commands in bold - the rest gives you an indication of the results)
(Note: if you get $ instead of #, just go back and repeat the instructions from where it says $ ./rageagainstthecage. Worked like a charm on the second try for me.)

Ok perhaps that what i am doing wrong...
so i download android-sdk_r07-windows.zip & unzip it..to a folder F:\ADB.
So i have to create a new folder named ADB and thne unzip all teh stuff in it??
because before i was unzipping the android-sdk_r07-windows.zip & then the folder named android-sdk_r07-windows & i was upzipping freenexus.zip & RageAgainstTheCage.tgz in the tools folder in the android-sdk_r07-windows folder.
So correct me if im wrong instead of android-sdk_r07-windows folder I have to make a new folder named F:\ADB and then unzinp android-sdk_r07-windows.zip & freenexus.zip & RageAgainstTheCage.tgz in teh F;\ADB folder not in the android-sdk_r07-windows tools folder??
Please advise?>?

Sorry this is so basic ... if you don't understand folder structures, you really SHOULD NOT ROOT!
Do NOT do it! Maybe after using computers for a couple of years you can "upgrade" to rooting your phone.

I can admire how you're so annoyed but I guess i gotta suck it up cus It I who is in need.
LOL! i've been using computers for a while now & I do undrestand the folder structure pretty well why would i think that? Cus I was able to root the phone the first time.
It's just that i find the description so confusing, I use windows, dunno what OS are you on? But when you extract a zip file it creates a default folder of the same name so...
But i really don't think that my question was that hard, which shot you over the moon & piss you off and made you tell me to learn basic computing first.
All i asked was If I am suppose to make a separate folder named ADB & if I sould extract every thing in it rather than the default unzipped folder that windows makes. But I guess If you're so annoyed then i'l leave it for some one else, I am quite sure one of the purpose of this forum is to get and give help. And im pretty sure that there will be someone who can help me or perhaps i'll find a way myself. But anyways thanks alot for your time, you've been nothing but great help. LOL! And I mean it...

Hi Jakk,
I'm not a developer, but, the error seems indicate that adb can't remount as RW the /system, so:
1) adb shell work? (you must see a "#" if you are root)
2) have you installed busybox?
3) the 01newcache script in init.d directory work if you have a rom/kernel that suppor init.d
I use the script and i can confirm that work very fine
Bye
Idk

1) How am i able to see that? Should i see a # at the ADB CMD box? Root checker veryfies that my device is rooted.
2) Yes it's installed using V1.16.2androidminimal - updating now.
3) How can i check if my ROM supports that? My rom is the Stock safe Rom provided when flashing to Overcome.

Using the "adb shell" command in ADB gives me a $

using the adb shell command gives me the $ as i said.
When using the command su it gives me the # you're where talking about.

Hi Jakk,
Yes, so you have a working superuser thats ok, but if you have stock kernel (i think) there isn't any init.d support so the only way is to try manually.
Another way is installing a custom rom (boca, overcome, etc..) or custom kernel that have init.d support.

There is some errore message when you try to remount via adb? Try to remount filsystem directly in a root shell, here :

Hmm actually not sure that there is a custom kernel installed (i don't suppose since it's a stock firmware, then the kernel should be stock - dosen't allow me to overglock however xD )
I've get this message:

Tried to flash the overcome kernel v3.3.1
Also i've connected the tab while in recovery mode now i get a ~$ when entering adb shell.

Hi Jakk,
1) adb is use only from PC (windows or linux), there isn't any adb command into android OS...
2) My mistake: read this links: http://android-tricks.blogspot.com/2009/01/mount-filesystem-read-write.html and http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=685146; the above command is about rfs (Samsung Robust File System); if you have converted the filesystem into ext4, i'm not sure that above command work....
sorry

Im am able to mount using the
Code:
mount -o rw,remount -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system
Command you told me about but when i try to push the newcache file
Code:
adb push 01newcache /system/etc/init.d/
it simply says:
adb: Not found
When trying to copy it outside the shell it says:
failed to copy "01newcache" to "system/etc/init.d/": Is a directory.

Hi,
if you try the adb into android phone shell, simply don't work because adb is a windows command (adb = android debug bridge).
The good is seems you have the init.d directory, so try this:
go to android phone shell and remount /system
in a windows cmd shell do this:
adb push 01newcache /system/etc/init.d/
return into android phone shell:
adb shell
cd /system/etc/init.d
chmod 777 01newcache
ls -l /system/etc/init.d (to show the contend of init.d)
exit
Bye

So you mean that i'll just simply open a cmd box without refering to adb and then use the adb push 01newcache /system/etc/init.d/ command? How's that gonna work?
If you've got the time could you please assist me over teamwiever or something similair?

Hi Jakk,
Rollback, read this:

The operation is in 2 steps, pc and android terminal: adb is pc side the rest in android terminal.
I'm sorry, i prefer forum support, i've no time at this moment.....
If i'm not clear enough please tell me, i don't know your skill level...

pretty skilled, gonna start my IT-technician education after christmas, and i've know a bit bat programming from working with windows server and also a bit html and php.
capable of flashing ROMS, unbricking etc but haven't used ADB before. I've configured adb the exact same way as the tut you've sent me.
However i still just get's error codes like adb not found, remount not found, Is a directory, or are you sure you are rooted?

Is working ?:
Code:
adb shell
If yes then:
Code:
su
mount -o remount rw /system
then - if you are not able to use "push" - copy the file in your SDcard then, while in adb shell:
Code:
cp /sdcard/yourfile /your-destination/
Seem easy

then which one am i going to choose? The overwrite?
and am i just supposed to write it like this:
cp /mnt/sdcard/01newcache /system/etc/init.d/
Because then i've get a cp can't create /system/etc/init.d/: Is a directory

Try this:
cp /mnt/sdcard/01newcache /system/etc/init.d/01newcache
Bye

If you have the init.d folder then just manul copy "01newcache" to your sd card and from your tab, with a root explorer (i use esfile explorer with root option enabled from option menu) copy it to system/etc/init.d.

...to solve the original problem...
I fixed this on my device from a windows command prompt by typing "adb root" , which restarts the daemon on the device with root permissions.

[Q] custom notification sounds

Enjoying my galaxy gear but a bit upset that there isn't an easy way to add custom ringtone sounds or notification sounds to the smartwatch. Has anyone figured out a way to add custom sounds to the gear for notifications? Would love to be able to do this myself. Thanks in advance!

yes, there is a way...but unfortunately it requires the device to be rooted first
you can push any custom ringtones using adb commands
adb remount
adb push *.ogg /system/media/audio/alarms/
adb push *.ogg /system/media/audio/notifications/
adb push *.ogg /system/media/audio/ringtones/
adb push *.ogg /system/media/audio/ui

adb remount didnt work for me, i couldn't run adb as root in a production build. i also needed to remount / & /system as rw
so what i did:
mount -ro remount,rw /
mount -ro remount,rw /system
mkdir /tmp1 (temp staging folder)
then push my files to the /tmp1 dir:
adb push filename.ogg /tmp1
(using wildcard on adb command line didnt work for me)
then in a root shell
cp /tmp1/* /system/media/audio/notifications etc whatever dir you want.
to copy all ogg files to the folder.
once you've copied all the files, type in reboot in a shell and the ringtone & notification list in settings will update. viola!
and remember, if you want your ringtone to loop: use your favourite tag editor (I used foobar2000 on Windows), add a tag/field called “ANDROID_LOOP”, and set it to “true”.
without this tag it will not loop.

Busybox for Tizen Gear 1 + Gear 2

Sorry if this is known but I just saw this today and though some people might like to know. There's a link to Busybox within.

Can't figure out the sdb instructions to actually install it?

Yeah I got the same issue here so apologies. I pushed the file to a couple directories and did "root on" then "sdb shell" to make sure but when it goes to install it complains about needing something like 188kb free space (the package is half that).
So yeah obviously a regular sdb install won't work and it seems I don't know which directory to have the package in when I try to install but that's all I got.
Recreation steps:
1) Ran sdb devices until device was listed (had usb debugging enabled on the gear being rooted running the original Gear Tizen release)
2) Ran sdb root on again to be paranoid
3) Ran sdb shell
4) Copied the file in to /home with "sdb push filename /home". Later on I tried the same thing using the Tizen SDK explorer function to a few more directories since that has drag and drop.
5) Ran the install command it has (rpm -i busybox-1.17.1-2.3.armv7l.rpm)
6) Got free space error. Grr'd.
Here's some of my log excluding the first part:
C:\tizen-wearable-sdk\tools>sdb push busybox-1.17.1-2.3.armv7l.rpm /home
pushed busybox-1.17.1-2.3.armv7l.rpm 100% 75KB
1 file(s) pushed. 0 file(s) skipped.
busybox-1.17.1-2.3.armv7l.rpm 1172 KB/s (76839 bytes in 0.064s)
C:\tizen-wearable-sdk\tools>sdb shell

sh-3.2# cd home

abuild app busybox-1.17.1-2.3.armv7l.rpm developer root
sh-3.2# rpm -i busybox-1.17.1-2.3.armv7l.rpm
installing package busybox-1.17.1-2.3.armv7l needs 188KB on the / filesystem

Ok so someone clued me in to the missing mount command and now I can get it installed! But like the article states the only advantage I see immediately is a working VI from sdb shell. There's no icon created in the launcher. The only way I know it's installed is when I run the command it tells me and busybox is in the /bin directory. Now some more adventurous people may Google and find out how to manually install busybox packages so for those let me know if you find anything cool!
Here's the log. This was on the initial Tizen release with the root package installed.
C:\tizen-wearable-sdk\tools>sdb devices

sh-3.2# rpm -i busybox-1.17.1-2.3.armv7l.rpm
package busybox-1.17.1-2.3.armv7l is already installed
sh-3.2# mount -o remount,rw /
sh-3.2# reboot
Rebooting.
The guy that gave me the said to do this again after. I imagine you might need to do this anytime you try to play around with Busybox if you don't see files listed when you do an "ls -a" or get permission errors:
sdb root on
sdb shell
sdb mount -o remount,rw /
exit
Hope this helps someone.

[AIO GUIDE] for installing mods to tizenmod rom

ANYTHING YOU FLASH FROM HERE YOUR DOING SO AT YOUR OWN RISK
AND DOING SO VOIDS YOUR WARRANTY
I WILL TAKE NO RESPONSIBILITY FOR ANY ERRORS YOU MAY HAVE
THIS GUIDE WILL FLASH
themes, fonts, alarms, notifications and ringtones,
bluetooth stack access thanks to ScDoc8
busybox thanks to kylgore
(click above for links)
firstly you must create the necessary folders on your gears internal disk, you only need to do this once, or after factory resetting your gear, to do this, enable usb debugging in your gear settings, then run open a command window by holding shift and right clicking the mouse in the folder you sdb.exe is located,
then run these codes all at once
Code:
sdb.exe
sdb root on
sdb shell mount -o remount rw /
sdb shell setup-folder.sh
FOR AIO SEE BOTTOM OF POST
once youve done that place everything in the right place,
themes in to themes folder
fonts,alarms, notifications and ringtones into the root folder where your sdb is located
bluetooth stack, busybox (ignore camera.wgt) into the root folder where your sdb is located
(it should look like this)
vvv
vv
v
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
now to push the files above to the device run this code in sdb all at once
REMEMBER TO RENAME THE FILES OF YOUR FONTS RINGTONES AND ALERTS TO THE NAMES OF YOUR OWN
(YOU CAN ADD MULTIPLE FILES IN THIS CODE)
Code:
sdb push Alarm_Ticktac.ogg /opt/share/settings/Alarms/Ticktac.ogg
sdb push SpagnolaOrchestration.ogg /opt/share/settings/Ringtones/
sdb push "Vega.ogg" /opt/share/settings/Alerts/
sdb push busybox-1.17.1-2.3.armv7l.rpm /home
sdb push wrt-plugins-tizen.rpm /home
(it should look like this)
vvv
vv
v
now this next code will install the themes and alarms
Code:
sdb shell install-alarms.sh
sdb shell install-theme.sh
(it should look like this)
vvv
vv
v
now this next code will install the bluetooth stack access
Code:
sdb shell
cd /home
rpm -ivh wrt-plugins-tizen.rpm --nodeps --force wrt-plugins-tizen.rpm
(unfortunatly there is to much code for cmd to show, but it should finish like this)
vvv
vv
v
now this next code will install busybox
Code:
cd /home
rpm -ivh busybox-1.17.1-2.3.armv7l.rpm --nodeps --force busybox-1.17.1-2.3.armv7l.rpm
(unfortunatly there is to much code for cmd to show, but it should finish like this)
vvv
vv
v
now to finish, simply type
Code:
sdb shell reboot watch
remember, this is an aio and can all be done with one click with this code
Code:
sdb.exe
sdb root on
sdb shell mount -o remount rw /
sdb shell setup-folder.sh
sdb push Alarm_Ticktac.ogg /opt/share/settings/Alarms/Ticktac.ogg
sdb push SpagnolaOrchestration.ogg /opt/share/settings/Ringtones/
sdb push "Vega.ogg" /opt/share/settings/Alerts/
sdb push busybox-1.17.1-2.3.armv7l.rpm /home
sdb push wrt-plugins-tizen.rpm /home
sdb shell install-alarms.sh
sdb shell install-theme.sh
sdb shell
cd /home
rpm -ivh wrt-plugins-tizen.rpm --nodeps --force wrt-plugins-tizen.rpm
cd /home
rpm -ivh busybox-1.17.1-2.3.armv7l.rpm --nodeps --force busybox-1.17.1-2.3.armv7l.rpm
sdb shell reboot watch

to change the bluetooth disconnect tone
copy your desired tone, to the folder your sdb.exe is located
then rename it to "bt_disconnect.ogg"
then push it to "/usr/share/feedback/sound/operation/bt_disconnect.ogg"
like so
Code:
sdb push "C:\Users\Gav\Downloads\tizen\sdb\bt_disconnect.ogg" /usr/share/feedback/sound/operation/bt_disconnect.ogg
you will need to right click the file holding the shift key, and selecting copy as path for its location which i will highlight in bold below
sdb push "C:\Users\Gav\Downloads\tizen\sdb\bt_disconnect.ogg" /usr/share/feedback/sound/operation/bt_disconnect.ogg
(it should look like this)
then run code
Code:
sdb shell reboot watch
and its done
the sam can be done for reconnect tone, by renaming the file "bt_connect.ogg"

sdb problems
whenever I try to do anything with sdb I get a target not found error. I have also done the sdb devices command and it does not list any devices, I have the gear 2 neo connected to my computer using the supplied cradle and a usb cable I can see my watch in the file system but sdb does not see my watch. I have activated debugging in settings on the watch and have rebooted the watch since turning it oon just in case that was the issue. I am not sure what else to try any help would be greatly appreciated. thanks.

What does it show up under you computers for device manager as.....
Also how are you doing sdb meaning did you install the sdk? Are you pointing to the correct location. when running commands from cmd at a admin elevated prompt?

Thanks for the quick reply, my device shows up as gear 2 neo in device manager and I am using the sdk and I am running the commands from the folder where sdb is located in an elevated command window.

rather than trying to cd to sdb, open the folder where sdb is located, right click the mouse, and select open command prompt here, then type sdb.exe

Hi, recently received a gear 2 neo and was wondering if this still works and how to as well?, completely lost on it all. Software version:R381XXU0B0A2
