I need the following directories of a stock phone (no custom recovery/boot applied):
Tar it up and send them my way.
/.info
/lib
/lib/modules
/res
/res/images
/sbin
/sbin/images
Any files found in the / (root) directory.
my phone is stock minus the apps I've removed. I don't know how to copy this info but I will be happy to figure it out and get it done if no one else is already doing this.
If rooted is alright, let me know and I will get you what you need.
What is the best way to get the files to you?
What program can get that information on a stock vibrant? Or would we need root?

I think you need at least root to have busybox installed that gives you the cp function but I could be wrong.
Without root which busybox comes with.. I don't know that the software allows a copy feature.
If nobody gets them to you by the time I get home from work then I will pull them for you.

pulling as I type
EDIT: ok, I was able to pull everything except /mnt, /info, and /sd-ext. I have the .tgz file. where do I send it? it's over 300mb
jroid did you just make a new folder with
mkdir then use cp of those requested folders? Newbie just trying to make sure I'm doing something the best way.
thanks

/mnt my terminal said it was pulled, but the folder i extracted it to didn't show anything. so i'm assuming it didn't pull. Thanks

no I adb pulled everything seperately
Koush,
I can help you. But, when i try to adb pull these things. Esp in proc. the process just stops.
If i remove proc from the list. the it pulls some then just reboots
Is there a special way to do so?
Thanks
I went and trimmed down what I need to just this following list:
/.info
/lib
/lib/modules
/res
/res/images
/sbin
/sbin/images
That should make the resultant package less than 20mb. Let me know!
A raw dump of the boot area would also help (this is completely safe, just type it properly):
dd if=/dev/block/bml7 of=/sdcard/bml7.img
Then send me /sdcard/bml7.img

Here you go.
Don't know if this is what you want but I thought I'd throw you completely stock no root up here... Astro let me copy them no problems.
img of course can't be made without root

Awesome! Can you also send me the files in the root directory? Ie, init.rc, recovery.rc, and whatever else you find?

The directory structure isn't preserved in this properly (seems all mashed together). All I need now is the files in the root directory!

Hey guys,
I had a nasty issue with Bi-Winning a couple weeks ago where I pushed custom framework and totally forgot about permissions. Apparently when you don't set the proper permissions it can really slow things down.
So I figured this could easily be avoided. So because of that and our CWM "Fix Permissions" option doesn't really do anything, I wrote this script to fix it!
Upon every boot, it will scan /system/app, /system/framework/, and /data/app and set the proper permissions for all the files in there.
Users
note if you're on Trigger 2.9.1+ or Bi-Winning V1+ you do NOT have to do this. It's built into your ROM already.
Flash the attached zip named "CWM_Flash_Permissions_Script.zip"
Ironically, it may not have the correct permissions after you flash it, so then do either of the following
1) Do these commands in ADB to set the correct permissions
Code:
adb shell
mount -o rw,remount /dev/block/stl9 /system
busybox chmod 777 /system/etc/init.d/*
or
2) Open up Root Explorer (or something similar)
navigate to /system/etc/init.d/
in there find the new file S30edt_perms
long press, and set the permissions
make it look like this
Code:
x x x
x x x
x x x
Here's the init.d script, it's really simple, but also effective
Code:
#!/system/bin/sh
# Permission script
# Written by Einherjar Dev Team
# www.edtdev.com
logFile=/data/edt/logs/S30edt_perms.log
if [ -f $logFile ]; then
rm $logFile
fi
touch $logFile
mount -o rw,remount /dev/block/stl9 /system
echo "Setting permissions" >> $logFile
for file in /system/app/* /system/framework/* /data/app/*; do
echo " setting permissions (644) for $file" >> $logFile
chmod 644 $file
done
echo "chmodding init.d folder"
chmod 777 /system/etc/init.d
for file in /system/etc/init.d/*; do
echo " setting permissions (777) for $file" >> $logFile
chmod 777 $file
done
echo "Permissions set" >> $logFile

[slight OT] Just getting wifi working on an old ideapad y510 in slackware was an epic struggle... (wicd my arse)
[back on topic] I wish more devs would post script contents (though we can easily download and look in vi or notepad)... it helps the learning curve immensely
grateful for all the work EDT and rest of dev community does. We all are.
Question: What does the fix permissions CWM do then?

Hmm, ok you might need super user permissions do this and let me knkow if it works:
1) type in "adb shell"
2) type in su (don't press enter yet)
3) turn your screen on & unlock it
4) press enter on the su prompt, then his yes on the screen
then try that chmod command again.

Oh crap, thanks for pointing that out man. Easy fix
do this
Code:
mount -o rw,remount /dev/block/stl9 /system
busybox chmod 777 /system/etc/init.d/*
should work like a charm
by the way, next time you flash a newer edt rom, they already have this fix built in. since you overwrote the file, you'll need to run the above commands to set the correct permissions as they get messed up sometimes when modifying them.
That did the trick, thanks.
The script in the .zip says
Code:
# Permission script
# Written by Roman (birgertime)
# www.edtdev.com
logFile=/data/edt/logs/S30edt_perms.log
if [ -f $logFile ]; then
rm $logFile
fi
touch $logFile
echo "Setting permissions" >> $logFile
for file in /system/app/* /system/framework/* /data/app/*; do
echo "setting permissions for $file" >> $logFile
chmod 0644 $file
done
echo "Permissions set" >> $logFile
Which is different than the OP. I'm confused.

I notice that before... but got side tracked and forgot to mention something... I just pulled the one from in Bi-Winning V2 and have been ADB Push'ing that.
EDIT: Also noticed that the one that's in Dan_Brutal "Metrik Part 1- Pepperkake" is the wrong one.

Hey Roman, thanks for yet another improvement for this phone!
Simple question: can I just download and push the S30edt_perms.zip to etc/int.d? And is this any good for CM7 based ROMs? I just checked and that file isn't in my init.d folder on Trigger Redux.
Thanks!

Hi,
I just learned that there is another rom to Spain and I find that you can not do root, I tested with different but does not work.
Any ideas!
EDIT:
I check inside the smartphone with adb and the Superuser.apk is inside the list of system/app but no view in appdrawer, and the files (su, busybox,...) are not in the folder xbin

Hi,
The problem is that the rom has no space to add anything more.
I created a zip to change some apk to data, I install superuser.apk and files to folder xbin but I have problems with set_perm on xbin.
Code:
set_perm: chmod of /system/xbin/su to 6755 failed: Operation not permitted
set_perm: chmod of /system/xbin/sqlite3 to 4755 failed: Operation not permitted
set_perm: chmod of /system/xbin/busybox to 4755 failed: Operation not permitted
set_perm: chmod of /system/xbin/sh to 4755 failed: Operation not permitted
And code to updater-script is:

"rom has no space"?
You mean the SD card? try partitioning.
Are you sure the rom your talking about has both superuser.apk AND superuser.odex in system/app ??
the way I see it, your phone isnt rooted at all.
Root it properly. Make sure its rooted. Thats why your having issues with ADB and superuser.

But more important: Why do you want to do this?
If you using a deodexed rom, you don't need an odexed jar

Is there a reason you're copying the .odex signature to /data/local/tmp/odex/android.policy.odex instead of /system/framework/android.policy.odex ? With your script, /system/framework/android.policy.odex remains unsigned.

So what you're doing is :
1. optimize /system/framework/android.policy.jar to create /system/framework/android.policy.odex
2. copy the signature from /system/framework/android.policy.odex.bak to /data/local/tmp/odex/android.policy.odex
3. copy /data/local/tmp/odex/android.policy.odex to /system/framework/android.policy.odex
Am I right ? If I am, you're deleting the .odex file created from android.policy.jar, and replacing it with another one.

You don't set the permissions for the files any longer. Is there a reason for that ? Permissions should be 644 I guess.

I tried to update files one by one.after update framework-res.apk is ok.android.policy.jar is fail.so I dont modfiy android.policy.ja.then optimized it. updating android.policy.odex refer to attached script(not including framework part).but device is NG.

In dexFile.h :
Code:
/* current version, encoded in 4 bytes of ASCII */
#define DEX_MAGIC_VERS "036\0"
/*
* older but still-recognized version (corresponding to Android API
* levels 13 and earlier
*/
#define DEX_MAGIC_VERS_API_13 "035\0"
So yes, your dexopt-wrapper uses an API level >= 14 (ICS and JB), whereas your original ROM file must be older.

So yes, your dexopt-wrapper uses an API level >= 14 (ICS and JB), whereas your original ROM file must be older.

offical rom version is 4.1.2.so API level should is 16.but extract odex from device is 035.
I am trying to get my android updater-script to selectively change permissions based on filename. I want all files under a certain subdirectory following the naming pattern "A.xy" set to 0755 and all other files set to 0644
So I first set all of them to 0644, then tried to selectively set the rest to 0755 by piping commands using xargs and exec. However, neither of the following commands worked but neither of them gave an error. Does anyone have a better way of doing this, or have an idea why neither of these worked?
run_program("/sbin/busybox", "find", " /data/app", "-name", "A.xy", "-type", "f", "-print0", "|", "/sbin/busybox", "xargs", "-0", "chmod", "0644");
run_program("/sbin/busybox find /data/app -name A.xy -type f -exec chmod 0644 {} \;");
It seems like update-binary doesn't allow piping? It doesn't give an error though.
Any idea how I can set all files of one type to be one permission, and all files of another type to be a different permission?
