Greeting all,
First of, I would like to thanks all of you for the amount of info I have found in this forum.
This is trully amazing and, so far, allowed me to sucessfully:
- Unlock my phone
- Root my phone
- Install a custom recovery image
I know that I am creating a new post on a very known and discussed subject BUT after 2 days of google seach nothing I have tried has permitted me to sucessfuly delete this £$%^&*() of script.
As you all know, it needs to be deleted to launch the custome recovery image (at the moment, I am stucked with the exclamation mark with the little Droid when I try).
IMPORTANT: I currently run the Froyo android 2.2 official ROM.
To delete this scipt, I have tried 2 approaches:
- Console mode from windows using ADB
- directly form the phone using a File explorer
#1: From the console:
As mentionned in many previous posts, I have tried the following commands once connected to the nexus
adb shell
su
mount -o rw,remount -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system
I beleive this command is either incorrect OR no longer working with Froyo 2.2 as I get the following message which looks fishy (I am not a Linux specialist...):
Usage: mount [-r] [-w] [-o options] [-t type] device directory
When I try to delete the scripe with the commande below, I am kindly informed that it failed as it is still a read only file system
rm /system/etc/install-recovery.sh
#2: From the phone
I read that SUFBS, a very nice file explorer was available on the market allowing to mount both system AND data in RW would allow me to do it.
I have had several try at it enabling RW at different moment (System then etc then directly when I am in the folder and see the script I want to delete) and whatever I do, each time I select the command delete, it looks like it works (little pacman eating) but the script from the dark side is sill there like nothing happened...
As I am close to give it the microwave treatment to see if it works better ;-) I thought I give it a try on the forum to see if any Android/Linux god would spend 5 minutes to explain to me what I am doing wrong...
Thanks a lot in advance!
BooToo
Try this:
mount -o rw,remount /system
I can't guarantee that works with Froyo but it's all I've ever used and I don't remember it giving me any problem when I used Froyo.
Umm I think it should be mount -o remount,rw then type the rest
You can also try this mount -o remount,rw /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system

adb is supposed to have it's own remount command for doing this, but I've only used adb once when I rooted so I'm no help there.
Other than that, try doing: ls -l /system/xbin/mount to see if mount is a link to busybox. If it is, the last part of the output will look like this: /system/xbin/mount -> busybox
If it is, type busybox | head -n1 to see what version of busybox you have.

Heh, I never realized I had those backwards compared to how people usually do it, but the order doesn't actually matter. It's not necessary to specify the device as the remount option doesn't change the mount point or device.
# mount | grep system
/dev/block/mtdblock3 on /system type yaffs2 (ro,relatime)
# mount -o rw,remount /system
# mount | grep system
/dev/block/mtdblock3 on /system type yaffs2 (rw,relatime)
Well...
I am an ass...
I did not have enabled the "USB debugging" on the phone...
Problem soved with the exact command lines I put at the beginning...
After rooting, flashing clockworkmod through ROM manager it was still going into stock recovery mode. Then I deleted /system/etc/install-recovery.sh and got my phone(HTC magic - 32A) bricked. Now it starts, shows rogers logo for 5-6 seconds and restarts and repeats untill i take out battery. I tried all combinations(power+back , power+home, Power+volume, Menu+home+power, menu+call+power) for quickboot and recovery mode but no success. Anyone has any idea about this issue?
If you have an HTC Magic, you're in the wrong forum...

and the emulator didn't start with the new kernel image(emulator didn't reboot). what is the problem here..?? and how can i replace my emulator's image with newly compiled Linux permanently??
please help. thank you!
I did everything as the guy who initiated this post under windows vista, and I have the same problem. However, I don't know how to go about deleting or renaming that scrip. Can you, give me a step by step procedure? Thank you
Flash this through recovery to delete the script...

Hi,
I am sort of new to this. how do I flash using the above script?

I get the same error sadly but what are the benefits of installing debian
Umm you can install a GUI like Gnome and have apps like Firefox etc run... VNC etc
I had it working on my I897 Captivate, then I Odin flashed back to stock, installed Cognition (previously SRE [Super Rooter Extreme]). I reinstalled debian, but now it errs. I checked my filesystem, and bash doesn't exist anywhere (nor any file with the word bash in it), and this is a list of all the EXT files:
/sbin/mkfs.ext2
/system/framework/ext.jar
/system/framework/ext.odex
/system/xbin/mkfs.ext2
The specific error message I receive when trying to run Debian is as follows:
When I enter:
$su
# bootdeb
I get:

OP here. Digging into the problem, so far it seems I'm only missing the ext2 kernel module. The bash it's trying to run is on debian.img. I haven't found an ext2 that will run on my Captivate though.
Upgrading Busybox may have helped, but I'm not sure yet because I broke the Super User app by installing UnleashTheBeast over SuperRooter. I'll try to find out later.
I won't be testing it at all. I bought an N900, as anyone who wants hardware and software they can put to use should.
Hello I'm trying to get complete Linux to work with our Razer but when I try and boot one of the images I get checking loop device... FOUND

I need help getting this to work tryed editing the bootscript.sh can't get it to work
I want to mount the second partition of my SD card at boot time for Link2SD's benefit, but I have been having a hard time.
I copied Link2SD's script in /data/adb/service.d/ and made some small changes:
Code:
#!/system/bin/sh
LOG=/data/link2sd-11link2sd.log
echo >> $LOG
date >> $LOG
sleep 10
mount -t ext4 -o rw,noatime /dev/block/mmcblk1p2 /data/sdext2 1>>$LOG 2>>$LOG
My log shows: "/data/adb/service.d/link2sd.sh: line 6: mount: Permission denied".
I have therefore tried to use su -c, and my log then shows: "/data/adb/service.d/link2sd.sh: line 7: su: Permission denied".
What am I doing wrong?
If it's useful, the log is also not showing the date.
noticed similar strange behavior guess Magisk is kinda broken
