do i need to have xrecovery installed?
The simpliest way to install CWM is to plug your phone with debugging mode to your PC and run DMR.bat from this file. More information you'll find in this post.
Thanks. It works

Mount r/w for /system in root explorer and then copy the files over. GingerDX does not need CWM recovery, it only needs xRecovery to install. So root your x8, install xRecovery, backup phone, full wipe, install GingerDX, wipe cache and dalvik-cache and then reboot. Tada! GingerDX will be running on your phone.
Tada! MD5 missmatch? Did you know how to fix it? Thx again

Search for "md5 mismatch" on xda.
By the way:
When did you get this?
Because you can get this only when you flash a ROM/backup that consists of syste.img, data.img, cache.img and nandroid.md5 and GingerDX is in an update.zip, so it´s only a .zip-file that contains the /system-folder and a script that makes it flashable in a recovery, so you can´t get a md5 mismatch on this.
hey bro you need xrecovery version 0.1 and you flash it try first a Ginger DX v09 like i d then upgrade ginger dx have clockowrmod installed you can reboot in it i will post a link
Latest versions of GingerDX for X8 need CWM
and I have xRecovery installed on my stock rom. I would update first to CWM my phone and then install GingerDX v016...what I should do? I don't want to brick my phone! Anyone could explain me the correct procedure? Thanks

Flash dualboot with xrecovery then you will have cwm and xrecovery at the same time. You can find dualboot.zip from the multiboot thread

sorry for bumping a quite old thread,
but after doing all of those above, my x8 is now installed with CWM v 0.0.1
i tried to flash v 4.0.1.5 edify from this thread :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1119456
but after i reboot and go to recovery, my version is still the same (v 0.0.1)
how to update to newer version ? i tried flashing it so many times and still no newer version :/
any help would be appreciated .
Since I cant post in development section I will ask here if someone can help me. I have U8800 with 2.3 stock rom and I cant remove stock apps (swype in my case).I am rooted with DooMLoRD_v3_ROOT and SU is instaled. I did find apk file (/cust/hw/default/apk) but I am not able to remove it. I tried with titanium backup, root explorer, terminal emulator (cant find target) and with super manager.It seems like I am half rooted as root explorer cant mount rw in cust directory but works in system directory.Any idea is welcome,thank you!
You need to do it manually via adb shell. First to mount the partition as rw and then to remove it. I want to remove this file too, so I' ll try it asap.
EDIT:
I tried but this partition which is on /dev/block/loop0 cannot be mounted rw, I get a permission denied error.
.
In pinkscreen mode delete cust.image file,then delete apps with titanium backup.
We want to delete only some apps.
With your way we loose all huawei' s custom configuration, it' s like we don' t install step3.
This is not a solution.
I hope that we can find solution for this as I want to instal costum swype with my language enabled (slovenian) and can not do it untill I remove stock one. If any of you can post in development section maybe you can ask there if they know the solution for this, thank you!
I fixed it.
I deleted all unneeded apks (stock apps) that stored in cust.img
My method;
1. On Slitaz Linux 3.0
2. Open terminal
3. Copy cust.img from phone to /home folder
4. mkdir tmp
5. mount cust.img /home/tmp
6. cd /home/tmp/hw/default/app
7. Delete apk files what you don't want
8. unmount tmp
9. Copy cust.img from /home folder to phone
Ok, but I dont have linux or terminal on my computer. Is there any way to do this via terminal emulator on the phone? Or is there some step by step guide how to do it as I am not really familiar with terminal or its use.
http://www.multiupload.com/EKPGJ7EUGO
This is "cleared" cust.img. That contains only these apks;
BeyondTheSkyTheme.apk
Calendar.apk
CalendarProvider.apk
DeskClock.apk
ToolBox.apk
1. Download this rar archive and open it.
2. Start your phone in pink screen mode
3. Backup original cust.img to your computer
4. Copy "cleared" cust.img from rar to phone.
Thank you,I managed to install swype in my language and it works great. I was wondering if there is any chance to extract all factory .apk files and post them somewere so people could donload them and install them if they want. I am missing that weather clock widget but swype is far more important to me, so thank you again to make it possible.
This rar archive contains all apks that stored in cust.img -->> http://www.multiupload.com/8DWKNVTXML
Just copy apk file (which ones do you want) to "/system/app" folder and restart.
or
This is only TotemWeather.apk -->> http://www.multiupload.com/IWX7U3G5FU
Just copy to "/system/app" folder and restart.
Thank you, you are the best. Will this cust.img work with 2.3 beta which will be released this thursday according to Huawei? If not I wont update again as I just managed to adjust phone to my needs.
I hope, it will works with the new update. If not, i'll fix it when update released.
could you give us a cleared cust.img for the official 2.3.5???
Ok, here is a new version of OTA2 for US tablets that should be flashable in CWR and should keep CWR and root without requiring the use of OTA rootkeeper. I would still protect root with OTA Rootkeeper and temp unroot before updating (you can try it without temp unroot but it has caused some problems for other users). This update will still scan all your system apps so you need to restore or unfreeze any system apps that you deleted or froze using Ti Backup.
Instructions:
This update is for owners of US tablets with root and ClockworkMod Recovery. Make sure your battery is well charged before flashing this, a dead battery mid update can create major problems!
1. Install OTA Rootkeeper and protect root. You should now temp unroot. Users who did not temp un-root have had issues with su access after updating.
2. Download the update below and put it on your external sdcard
3. Restore any system apps that you have removed
4. Reboot into ClockworkMod Recovery (Shutdown Thinkpad, turn on and press vol+ repeatedly until you see booting recovery image)
5. I would also highly recommend making a nandroid backup if you have not previously done so.
6. Select install zip from sdcard>choose zip from sdcard then browse to and select the update you downloaded here
7. update.zip will run, it will check your system apps during the update and may fail if you have changed something, if so the error message should explain why
8. Reboot tablet; it will be a very long reboot. This is normal; it seems to take forever but just let it boot.
9. Use OTA Rootkeeper to restore root.
Flash at your own risk! I am not responsible if this totally bricks your tablet! This is the US update, do not flash if you are using a tablet from another region! Seriously this stuff could cause problems.

Original Message
So I would like to modify the new OTA so I get the updates without losing root and my current recovery. It is my understanding that the file: \META-INF\com\google\android\updater-script contains the instructions for how the update should run. Can I simply modify this script so that it won't delete root or overwrite my recovery or boot and then flash it in CWR? It looks like it would be pretty straight forward but it would be nice to get some information from someone more knowledgeable so that I don't mess something up and brick my TpT. One obvious line to remove would be where it deletes superuser.apk and su. There is also a section where it patches the boot image, I'm not sure what this patch does but I am worried that maybe somehow they might lock the bootloader. EDIT: I updated, and still have CWR so the bootloader didn't get locked. The other lines I would remove are the ones that reference recovery. If someone with knowledge of android would be willing to help me with this then I will upload my modified update.zip (assuming it works) so that others can avoid the hassle.
So I think that the process would be to delete the current \META-INF\ folder, then put in my modified updater script in \META-INF\com\google\android\updater-script and sign the update with SignApk.jar? Is this the correct process? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.
I attached the original updater-script below for anyone interested in taking a look.
I appreciate you posting the file. I've never worked with Android code and this was a great intro.
I'm not sure this will work. Although I'm not super knowledgeable in this.
I did find these two threads.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1185881
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=21351145&postcount=101
Of course, the latter is in respect to the Galaxy Nexus, and I am sure most of those people have unlocked bootloaders, etc. So again, not sure if those shed any more light on it, but am also curious on a process like this.
The update popped up on my tablet last night and I clicked "more info" and from what it lists, does not seem to be very many fixes
So I successfully updated in ClockworkMod Recovery without losing CWR and without deleting my Superuser.apk and su files by modifying the updater-script in the update.zip. Unfortunately it still messed up my superuser permissions somehow and I ended up having to use ADB while booted into CWR to push and symlink the proper files to get su working again (OTA Rootkeeper wasn't functioning properly because the files were there but the permissions were messed up). I have modified the update.zip so that now it deletes the superuser.apk and su files but keeps clockworkmod recovery. With this and OTA Rootkeeper I think you should be able to update while keeping CWR and restoring root. I will also provide directions here for those seeking to make their own modifications and possibly improve upon my efforts, but proceed with caution.
So what I did was open the zip in winrar and extracted the updater-script. I then edited some lines of code using Notepad++, deleting the ones that referred to deleting recovery or installing a new recovery as well as the lines to delete superuser.apk and /system/bin/su and /system/xbin/su. I also commented out a couple lines at the beginning (assert(getprop("ro.product.device") == "Indigo") because I was getting an error code status 7 when it was trying to perform this check while using clockwork mod. I checked my build.prop and it does say Indigo so I don't know why the check failed but just removing the check was easier for me than figuring out the problem (generally it is not good to remove such checks but I was sure I had the right file). In Notepad++ you must select save as and choose type all files then just save it with the same name. Then replace the updater-script in your zip file with the modified one, I used winrar and chose the compression to just be store (ie no compression). Then you need to delete the CERT.RSA, CERT.SF, and MANIFEST.MF files in the META-INF folder of your update.zip and you sign the update.zip using testsign.jar. Then your new modified update.zip is ready to go.
I think that the reason things did not work out for me is that there are a bunch of lines in the updater script about symlinking and setting permissions for stuff in /system and I think /system/bin/su was originally symlinked to /system/xbin/su which is the real file so things got messed up and I had the files still but the symlink and or permissions were messed up. I eventually fixed this by booting into CWR mounting system and using adb to repush /system/xbin/su and setting permissions and making the new symlinked su file in /system/bin just like the last lines of Dan's Thinkpad root bat file did.
Here is a modified update.zip that should delete your Superuser files but keep your ClockworkMod Recovery. I think that with this file you can use OTA Rootkeeper to make a root backup, temp unroot, then boot into CWR and update to the new OTA then you should be able to reboot and use OTA Rootkeeper to restore root and download Superuser from the market, while keeping CWR through the entire process.
Flash at your own risk! I am not responsible if this totally bricks your tablet! This is the US update, do not flash if you are using a tablet from another region! Seriously this stuff could cause problems.
That being said I think it will work. I followed this guide to sign my update.
Original updater-script
Modified updater-script in the update.zip linked above (this one deletes Superuser /system/bin/su and /system/xbin/su but keeps CWR)
Modified updater-script that I flashed on my tablet (this one messed up my su but doesn't delete the files)
If you need a good online file locker join Dropbox here and we'll both get an extra 250mb of space.
Unfortunately that update.zip didn't work for me, game me an error in CWR.
Is the other method, replacing the update scrip in the OTA and trying it ?

Depending on the error you can likely edit the updater-script yourself and successfully installed. Most errors are due to changes in system apps causing them to fail checks. If you remove an app check you should probably remove the corresponding patch for that app in the updater script. What error did you have?

Thank you for your work. I have ROW version and waiting OTA2 for that, but still now I know how to modify update-script. I have a question, why not to remove any unneeded software from update and remove check for installed software which are already removed?

Different people have removed different apps so one person may want the patch while another might want it skipped. I was just posting a generic version here that works for stock system apps. If others want to further customize their script then they are welcome improve upon it or customize it for their own system.

That is what happened to me originally, it can be fixed though. Did you make a backup with OTA Rootkeeper? If so open Android Terminal emulator and type:
/system/su-backup
mount -o remount,rw /system
cp -f /system/su-backup /system/xbin/su
ln -s /system/xbin/su /system/bin/su
chown root /system/xbin/su
chmod 6755 /system/xbin/su
Then reboot your tablet. I believe this should fix your root access. If you don't have a backup I think you can also fix it by running adb while booted into CWR. I can give you those instructions if this doesn't work.
Apparently you should temp un-root before installing my update then restore your su backup with OTA Rootkeeper after updating.
You wear the crown
Thanks for posting the fix, too. Waiting for reboot to finish.
Really appreciate all your hard work. The instructions you posted for me in thinkpad forums worked perfectly and I learned a lot in the process.

try

may have to type busybox before some of the other commands too if they give an error.
So my line would be

cp: applet not found
Just a quick note of thanks for getting me through this. Root is wonderful!
If

dd if=/system/su-backup of=/system/xbin/su
instead.

Thx jhankinson, this work for me. my TPT 1838 US.
So Hello everyone, i got interesting problem...
I bricked my phone
Phone: SM-9005
OS: Android 4.4.2
Firmware: N9005XXUGNG1
Recovery: TWRP 3.0 installed.
Root software installed which may be interesting "Xposed Additions, Lucky Patcher, SuperSu, Greenify"
Step by step.
// maybe helpful - cache / dalvik cache wiped and after reboot i started playing stuff
I used Root Browser (com.jrummy.root.browserfree) to copy 2 directories from my /downloads to /system.
There were /lib & /bin which contained unique libs and one executable so this would not affect system if everything went ok, but i didn't
After i started coping, root explorer asked me that "File already exist, overwrite or make a copy"? i pressed overwrite, in same second all apps in android started to generate "unexpected error", i tried to reboot and got boot into recovery
after i watched /system i found that what i tried to copy actually copied not to /system/lib & /system/app but to /system/system/lib & /system/system/app.
So i think there was some folder or file called system in /system directory which was overwritten. Or any kind of problem with dir / file permissions.
Any ideas of how to fix this / what was in /system/system / where to get bootlog to find after what "kernel panic" takes place or any other help?
Thanks.
// maybe somebody with same model version, same os version can upload zip file of own /system folder without /apps, /priv-apps and build.prop so i can compare whats lost compared to my data?
Fixed myself, root browser set wrong permissions to /system while was coping files... set back to 755 and it works
Hey people!
I just got a nexus 7 2012 and i am wanting to mount it in my car. So i wanted to do a few things before that.
I updated to official 5.1.1 via OTA. Everything is STOCK
First step was rooting which SEEMED to work (DID it via WUGS). It installed SU and busybox. Next step was to create my own bootanimation
This is where the issues have started. I can not change permissions or move any files to the system directory even with W/R option turned on
I can delete the files but can not copy files to the directories. I can no change permissions in ANY directory.
I have tried in root explorer mounting r/w ES file explorer R/W ... i tried to install a new busy box and it installs then immediately says "you installed but it seems there is an older version on the system" i can not uninstall busybox. I tried mounting in terminal and it says all partitions are EXT 4. I have tried rerooting. Root check says everything is fine. SU seems to be working fine (it elevates permissions for all the root apps).
But for the life of me it will not copy anything into / or /system. :crying:
Should i just forget it and install another rom, WIPE everything and start again? If ROM which one is the best at the moment (nexus 2012)
After 2-3 hours of messing about... I just TWRP and flashed a different SU and it starting working.
