Editing build.prop without root or recovery - Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers

Is it possible to do it? Because i dont eant to trigger the safety net so i dont want to install recovery and root
I want to only pull and push from adb with the stock recovery

not possible.
build.prop would not be visible unless you have root.
pull and push does not work with stock recovery - only sideload (adb shows sideload mode when "adb devices").
What are you trying to achieve by editing build.prop?

[Q] Root permissions in Recovery: How To??

I have Root permission in my ROM (Using a DocRambone FroYo ROM). But when I reboot in Recovery mode (blue chars, I think normal recovery from Samsung), and start ADB Shell, the prompt is $ and I have no root permission (everything is denied).
If I reboot in Clockwork Recovery 2.5.1.2 (using ROM Manager), the one with green chars, the Galaxy is isolated and if I try ADB Shell, the result is Device not found...
Before Galaxy I had a Desire... with it, when rooted, I had root permission in Recovery and in normal boot.
How To have root permission available in Recovery too on Galaxy?
I need to do some operation via ADB shell. Or there is a way to flash Clockwork Recovery in the place of the normal Recovery (as I had in my Rooted Desire)?
Thanx

if using ULTK (afaik doc's rom use that), you can type "adb root" on your PC, and the next time you say "adb shell" you'll get root.

I tried but without success. If I enter in Recovery (standard one, with blue chars), and I type adb root, the answer is something like "adbd cannot have root privileges in production builds". If I try same command in Clockwork Recovery (started by ROM Manager, reboot in Recovery, the one with green chars), the result is "Device not found".
Ciao!
I think that the right way is to replace original recovery with Clockwork recovery... but how to?

[Q] Can't boot N1 after replacing the framework-res.apk

I wanna change the battery icon so I replace the original framework-res.apk. Then I can't boot it. It stops on the screen of the cross. I have backed up the original apk. What can I do? Many thanks.
P.S. Stock Rom 2.3.6
Did you do a nandroid backup?
Do you have ADB set up and can the phone still show up in ADB?
Do you have unlock bootloader?
Assuming you have root and adb, you can just do
adb remount
adb push framework-res.apk /system/framework/
adb reboot
the framework-res.apk mentioned above is the original one. After the reboot things should be fine.
No nandroid backup
Rooted but locked bootloader
I have tried ADB but it couldn't detect my device
Can I use the push command though it's not found?
I doubt it but you can always try.
Probably have to do the passimg method.
Try doing a fix_permissions from recovery. If you added the file without changing the permissions, it could be causing all your problems.
If you have a custom recovery, boot into that and push the file. Otherwise, either unlock your bootloader or use a PASSIMG, both of which will wipe your device.
P.S. I don't think you can mess around with that apk unless your ROM is deodexed.

[Q] Boot to CWM ICS

Is it possible to boot into CWM directly.
I am currently using this..
Bricked my phone while renaming framework-res.apk to framework-res.apk.bak .
Can't use adb push in recovery "Read-only file system" error..
Can't use adb remount as well, "Operation not permitted"
Edit: Sorry, please delete this thread. Found a way to rename back the framework-res.apk within recovery and using adb shell

- fastboot flash recovery twrp.img
Restart watch and go to TWRP recovery, install/flash su.zip from sdcard, reboot
Et VoilĂ  !
Nice write up, I'm not sure doing the adb sideload does anything though. The system image is already patched, it was a backup from my device just rooted. Currently I have busybox working on the device and and working on init.d support so any changes we want to make will survive after reboot.

It'ill be nice :good:
HELP
I've done everything to try to get back to AW 5.01 but when I get to the adb sidelload part it says "error: device not found".
It's seem that windows 8 is not detecting my watch. Anyone have any insight on this would be great thanks!

edit...
Never Mind Got it to Work!
How did you get it to work?
I managed it, too. Turns out I had to reinstall drivers while in sideload mode. You can do it in device manager, select from computer, from list and find ADB composite device.
Hey guys, I accidentaly installed supersu apk on my watch and now I can see it in the menu all the time. How can I remove it from /system/app/SuperSu? Do I have to root first in order to gain rw rights on /system, remove whole SuperSu folder than do a factory reset for example and it won't show up anymore?

Android 11, Is there anyway to mount or overlay values in framework-res.apk?

Android 11, Is there anyway to mount or overlay values in framework-res.apk?
Edit figured it out. This was on LineageOS 18.1. enable root debugging in developer options. (If you dont see it, It's because you have magisk installed. In the future make sure you enable root debugging before installing magisk. It gets hidden. but just fastboot flash boot original boot img. enable it, then fastboot flash boot magisk patched boot.)
1. Create the RRO
adb root
adb remount
adb push /system/product/overlay/[RRO Name]/[RRO Name.apk]
adb reboot
I didn't have to sign or zipalign the file. You can if you want to, I used platform test keys until I realized it wasn't necessary.
