Data.img Question

Hi I have some applications in my Data.img
that I would like to extract. Is there any way
I can do this?
Thanks
Tc

Code:
cd /sdcard
mkdir datamount
mkdir AppsBackup
mount -o loop data.img datamount
cp /datamount/app/*.apk /AppsBackup
umount -f datamount
rmdir datamount
Just check relevant directories, I am assuming you are running everything from root of sd card.

Im running it off nand
what should I do?

Even simple
Code:
mkdir /sdcard/Backupapps
cp /data/app/*.apk /sdcard/Backupapps

you can also use one of the many backup programs in the market. I like Astro file manager, in the tools, it has a backup tool. it will backup to the sdcard.

Need help with apps2sd on milestone

I found a guide to aply apps to sd on my milestone. I got it working, but the problem is, that apps installed in the data/app-private folder doesn't show as installed. I can see that they are placed in ext2 partion on my sd card along with the other apps, that normaly installes in data/app.Here is the guide i used
After creatting a ext2 partition on my SD card, i copied ext2. To sd card along with
mot_boot_mode script
#!/system/bin/sh
export PATH=/system/bin:$PATH
mot_boot_mode.bin
insmod /data/ext2.ko
mount -t ext2 /dev/block/mmcblk0p2 /data/sdapp
Then in recovery mode i entered
adb shell
su
cp /sdcard/ext2.ko /data/ext2.ko
insmod /data/ext2.ko
mkdir /data/sdapp
mount -t ext2 /dev/block/mmcblk0p2 /data/sdapp
cp /data/app/* /data/sdapp/
mkdir /sdcard/sicherung
cp /data/app/* /sdcard/sicherung
rm -r /data/app
umount /data/sdapp
mount -t ext2 /dev/block/mmcblk0p2 /data/sdapp
ls /data/sdapp
ln -s /data/sdapp /data/app
chmod 644 /data/sdapp/*
/data/busybox/chown -h 1000:1000 /data/app
/data/busybox/chown 1000:1000 /data/sdapp/*
/data/busybox/chown 1000:1000 /data/sdapp
insmod /data/ext2.ko
mount -t ext2 /dev/block/mmcblk0p2 /data/sdapp
mount -o remount,rw / /system
mv /system/bin/mot_boot_mode /system/bin/mot_boot_mode.bin
cp /sdcard/mot_boot_mode_script /system/bin/mot_boot_mode
chmod 755 /system/bin/mot_boot_mode
Do i need to make a symbolic link in data/app-private also?
I would realy like to get this working, because i purchased a lot of apps on the marked. But i have only half of them installed. It used to work on my HTC hero. But it was allready enabled in a custom rom. And that is not possible to do on a Milestone
Thanks

Fixed it by changing app-private folder two

hey glaus...
this almost seems like a guide, hehe...
i'm trying to get apps2sd to work on my milestone as well...
i tried booting in recovery mode and entering the chain of commands you just set out....
but when i go into recovery mode, i see the reboot system option, apply sdcard:update.zip, wipe data/factory reset and wipe cache partition....
and under it, i have e: can't open /cache/recovery/command
any ideas on how to fix this or where can i enter those commands you set out?
i tried in adb shell, but i get a /data/busybox/chown is not found error when setting the permissions...
thanks!
do

crap me too and it deleted some apps 2 i really want this been trying for a week oh i have a telus milestone and get the same above error.busybox is installed and hard drive is partioned

ah crap market is gone 2 lol gotta do a nano restore......man i want this bad i even bricked my phone and brought it back to life this week arghhhh

yeah...i don't know where claus is from...but if he has a telus milestone, he's the only one i've seen been able to install apps2sd with a telus milestone
i've seen other countries, even some with the same bands as we have, but none have had the actual "telus" one....the funny thing is that i can get everything else to work..
i have titanium backup pro, emulator, root explorer and everything is at superuser access...
if claus can help, i will bear his children
edit: how the heck do you install/activate the mot_boot_mode script? I see reference to it in a few wikis on basically that's what will allow us to use apps2sd...but I have no clue how to implement it

got app2sd working on milestone using a diff method will post soon

ok i got app2sd working on my telus milestone here is how i did it if u tried this method here ur gunna have to unroot then root or use a nano backup of freshly rooted phone busybox need mot to be installed so use titanium for back up and proceed http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=692367

problem with adb push

i get an error when try adb push a recovery file to my sdcard and ideas?

Need to give it a file name at the location you're moving it to I believe.
Example: adb push foo.txt /sdcard/foo.txt

ok thanx, how do i delete a file off the phone? when i install a custom recovery and reboot it goes back too stock recovery so i need to delete /system/etc/install-recovery.sh file, but need to know how

enter this into command prompt or terminal
Code:
adb shell
su
mount -o remount,rw -t yaffs2 /dev/mtdblock3 /system
rm /system/etc/install-recovery.sh

need write to /system or something EXEC path

I was the first person I know on the internet to compile nmap for android and this guy ( http://wjholden.com/nmap/ ) took it to the next level got a new phone ( CM6 with OC ) nbow it does not work
* can't write to /system even with rw remount
* if I boot recovery I can' write to /systm but its just a temp fs so failsause ...
* can't ADB shell (read below ) to find out where system is really mounted OR mount the real /system my self ..
* remouted / but anything I add gets wipped on reboot ...
* onlything that works is remount / , copy nmap and then add PATH hackery to EXEC nmap ... on EVERY reboot ...
NOTES BELOW:
Code:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=701589&page=4
I think its because /system is protected in CM5+ ? even with remount
command... ?
let me know what I need to copy where in recovery mode to /system to
get yours to run properly :/
you could also have your installer check for this and have notes etc ..

You can't write in /system in normal boot mode as security is on (s-on), remounting rw does you no good.
In recovery you will need to mount /system from clockwork before you can do anything.

I do have Clockwork Recovery 2.5.0.1 but I am not sure how to get to a shell and or find /system mount path as I can't adb shell ( read above ) so I can't remount or mount /system
rmccurdy.com/nmap.sh * this is what I am using for nmap as of now ..
Usage:
bash -x /sdcard/nmap.sh localhost
etc ...

There's an option in clockwork under partitions to allow you to mount the system. I'm not sure why but a lot of people have an issue getting into su with adb when they are in recovery, the constant /system/bin/sh error is annoying. Also, if I remember right, yaffs2 is not what you use to mount the system when using that command. It's mtdblock3 or something like that if I'm thinking along the correct lines here.
Maybe you should try putting it in a zip file as a script and running it that way since you use a different command (and much easier) to mount the system and write to it. Then again, I'm not sure what you're trying to so so I could just be talking out of my a$$

I can't do anything usefull in recovery ... reboot and apply update.zip but I dont how how nor do I really want to make a .zip / script to mount system etc .. do you know a zip I can work from as an example

The slide doesn't have S-Off, most HTC phones have them now...So you have to wait for Alpharev 2.0 to be released.

Yes, but in recovery we can mount the system and write to it. Phones with s-off can do that while booted normally because the NAND is unlocked and the system is no longer protected.
You can do it one of two ways. This one is easiest if you know linux commands but are unfamiliar with update-script format. Make an update script and put this in there:
Code:
show_progress 0.5 0
run_program PACKAGE:example.sh
show_progress 0.5 10
You don't have to use the show_progress line, it's just for aesthetics.
Make a .sh script, name it whatever you want and put the linux commands you want to execute in the script. For example:
Code:
#!/sbin/sh
#
##############################################
mount /system;
rm -rf /nmap
mkdir /nmap
echo 'export PATH=$PATH:/nmap' > path
cd /nmap
wget http://rmccurdy.com/stuff/G1/BINS/NMAP/NMAP.zip
unzip NMAP.zip
chmod 777 /nmap/*
export PATH=$PATH:/nmap
echo run /nmap/path before you start nmap
nmap -vvv 127.0.0.1
exit 0;
Or what ever you're trying to get done. I'll upload an example file of all this since hands on is always better. Looking at this though, you may want to have the files in the zip (in the directories they will be installed to) because wget probably wont work since the radio is off while in recovery.

interesting thanks ! ... do you have to resign it and all or can you just edit and rezip it ?

As long as you're using clockwork you just edit and zip. Might be easier to use an archive explorer to open (without uzipping it) then drag and drop, but do what's easiest for you.
