I'm kinda new to android
I've started to delete useless apps through Titanium Backup(acer staff,games etc) , and exidently deleted smth connected with honeycomb stock keyboard.
Now every time when i want to use stock keyboard, pops up a messege "The application Android keyboard (process com.google.android.inputmethod.latin) has stopped unexpectedly. plz try again".
Ive tryied to reset factory data but it wont helped. Is thera any solution for this problem? if there no, plz tell how to completely reset tablet) ive read "system Images " thread but i didn understand some things
here is my recover steps: (for a500 which is bricked)
for a500 is normal:
root it
put the system.img into a500
connect to the computer with adb and follow the codes:
su
dd if=/sdcard/system.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p3
then reboot

You might very well have ruined your tablet.
I'm not a developer or coder so I can't make any sense of the code you posted but if a reset didn't fix it then you've certainly deleted something important. Hopefully someone has some ideas.
If not, then maybe you can return it? And next time, don't delete something unless you know what it is you're deleting.
ok ive recovered from image, but now wifi is not working , what should i do?
There are posts about having to change file permissions to fix wifi. Search this forum, there are a few.
edit - linked post
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1074449&highlight=wifi+permission
yeah ive read this but i dont know how to move that files to system folder on devide, wifi is down , so i cant download any file managing apps from market and theres no any file managers on stock Rom
If you've got the adb working, you can use the command mv to move the file.
I'm not sure of the exact path involved, but for example. the file is in /mnt/sdcard/filetobemoved and needs to go into /sytem/lib/modules
mv /mnt/sdcard/filetobemoved /system/lib/modules
That'd put it in the location you need. To change the permissions, you'd use the command chmod
chmod 655 /system/lib/modules/filetobemoved
The 655 is an octal(0-7) representation of the file's permissions. I'm not sure what permissions it needs, but you could try 655 as a start unless someone else knows for sure.
if you want, hit me up on msn, I can try to walk you through it: [email protected]

No clue. I really should start reading up on HC app development and at least familiarize myself with that environment.
I haven't rooted yet cause I'm e'scarded to.
ahh i cant replace that files , somehow installed astro manager(through docsttogo) but i cant remove/replace/rename that files in system/lib/modules it says i dont have permission to do this.
tryed in connectbot type "mv /mnt/sdcard/filetobemoved /system/lib/modules"
got this "failed on '/system/lib/modules/filename' - cross-device link"
im rooted what if

type mount and paste/retype the line that has /system in it. It might be mounted read only.
or try the cp command in place of mv
edit - also, the filetobemoved is just an example. I think one of the filenames is bcm4329.ko but I'm not sure. so /system/lib/modules/bcm4329.ko would be the full path

yeah thats i know)
Are you logged into the tablet using adb's shell? I've only used that once on a different tablet, but iirc the commands are standard Unix/Linux commands. Someone correct me if I'm wrong but aren't you already logged in as superuser like this? You don't need to 'sudo' or 'su' to switch over do you?
I'm not familiar enough with this specific environment to figure out what might be keeping you from placing those files in that location. The command to check the partitions mount options is
mount
It should return a bunch of text, one line of which is gonna be the /system partition. If it's ro(read only) then you can't write to it and would need to remount it.
yeah it looks like it is "ro"
ive got /system ext4 ro
how to remount)
My knowledge of adb is limited as well. All I know is that I can connect to it, type: adb devices (in the command prompt) to make sure it sees my tab then 'adb push filename.extension /directory/structure' to force files... Conversly, I think adb pull filename.extension /directory/structure will grab files on the tab if you know what they are called and where they are located.

what was the /dev/block/mtdblock for /system?
there is a number after it...for example /dev/block/mtdblock1
mount -o rw,remount -t ext4 /dev/block/mtdblock1 /system
would remount it read/write, provided that it is mtdblock1, change the number depending on what your device has.
yeah now /system have "rw", but it anyway refuses to copy using mv(failed on '/system/lib/modules/filename' - cross-device link"
) or astro manager

If cp won't put it there either, I'm out of ideas. Maybe ask in the other thread how they were able to copy/move the file and set the permissions?
I know it may not be really classy, but how about downloading an .apk That will let you mount the drive, to an sd card in a computer then transfer that to the Acer. (If it's an extreme case and nothing else will work..not condoning piracy, but don't know what would work...)
or is it possible to copy the system data from a Titanium backup and send it over so he can restore the missing files?
This following step I can't be responsible for it's safety. It looks safe to my eyes, but proceed having been forewarned. I did some research and you might be able to use dd to get the file there.
dd if=/mnt/sdcard/filname of=/system/lib/modules/filename

Hi,
Ive got a problem. Yesterday i did the update from Dude 1.1 to 1.2, first without wiping, but then the G1 reboot when i want to download an app.
So i wiped it and it works fine. INternal Memory is 355MB free.
Today i wanna delete the APP SMS/MMS because i use chompSMS, but the G1 says that it cant delete. ("Uninstall not successful" "SMS/MMS could not be uninstalled")
So what could i do?
Thanx for ya help
if im not wrong in saying this, the stock sms mms program needs to be on the phone. chomp doesnt get your messages
it gets them from the stock messaging app.
Not sure what you're trying to uninstall (haven't heard of an app called SMS/MMS). However, if you're trying to remove the application "Messaging", you can't. Just disable notifications in the Messaging program and use chomp as the default.
Its the same with this Amazon Mp3 app, i cant uninstall it, what do i wrong? Or how can i get this app off my phone( dude 1.2 full)
You can't uninstall those programs..

If you are using a G1 build, its in /system/app. Remount the system partition and delete it from that directory.
Yeah great, thanx for ya help.
But now I now i'll gonna be beaten for that question, but can you explain me what you mean with 'remount the system partition"?
I've looked it up with ASTRO Filemanager and its really in /system/app, but i cant delete it from there, if i want to it says again "error deleting file".
Just searched a bit around and found the remount command that i know from a2sd, so i think i have to go to Terminal at G1,
#su
#mount -o rw,remount /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system
#rm com.amazon.mp3 /system/app
Is this right? So then i'm gonna eating my shoes But i think it isnt so i ask you before i delete complete G1
Or is it enough to remount with that command above and then go with ASTRO FIlemanager to that directory and delete it?

Yes, you remount it that way (or with DroidSans) and rm the Amazon file. I would still recommend against deleting the messaging one though.
I tried it this way, but it says error "Read only file".
I think i just let it on the phone and try to ignore that app.

use this code to remove amazon
Code:
su
mount -o rw,remount -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system
rm -r /system/app/com.amazon.mp3
that will remove amazon but removing messaging will make your system EXTREMELY unstable and most likely unusable
The problem was that i don't add the Fileending ".apk"
Thanx for ya help, tubaking182. It worked with your Command with adding .apk
Got the next problem, now i want to delete the Messenger App 'IM' but even if i do the same with 'amazon mp3' it says rm: cannot remove '/system/app/com.android.im.apk': No such file or directory
So what i am doing wrong, i tried it with "rm -r /system/app/com.android.im.apk"
"rm -r /system/app/com.android.im"
And many more but i get ever the same output -> No such file...
That means theres no such file...doesn't exist.
IT might be named IM.apk
Mh you're right!
I dont know how it tells me 'com.android.im' in ASTRO Filebrowser, and why i could delete it with IM.apk
With AmazonMP3 i have also to write: com.amazon.mp3.apk
Doesn't matter, THANK YOU for the fast help
amazon
spend a couple bucks and get root explorer, it is well worth it, and then its very easy to delete anything after that.
Wait wait let me get this right ... with root explorer i could avoid the whole going to terminal and typing all that code and just simply delete the apk from root explorer program and thats it >?
Can it really be that easy ... tell me thats the case
Also when you use the terminal code or the root explorer method ( if it can be done like that) when you go to applications in the phone menu to view list of apps you still see the amazon mp3 app in the system .. how do i remove that also

I'm testing right now..
When i download and install an App from the Android Market where the Apk installation file is temporary placed? Which path?
tnx in advance
the apk's are stored at /data/app and /data/app-private after you installed the app and will be removed if you uninstall it.
Tnx for the answer mopodo, but if i hard reset the device, can i will use theese files to reinstall them?
i'm sorry for my bad english...

No, you can make a backup to your SD card with apps like MyBackup or Backup For Root Users.
So which is the temp path of the downloaded apk from market?
i want to grab them...
Pinesal said:

of course you can.
you just have to copy them to your sdcard or pc an install them again, with «adb install something.apk» or «Astro File Manager» (or a similar file managerapp)
a hard reset will delete everything on «/data»
If you have root copy the contents of both folders to your SD card.
mkdir /sdcard/apps
cp /data/app/* /sdcard/apps
cp /data/app-private/* /sdcard/apps
Then after you wipe (I've never heard anyone call it a 'hard reset' before) you can use an app like Astore or ApkInstaller to reinstall them.
If you don't have root then not only will you not be able to read app-private, but your ROM wont have busybox so you wont be able to bash in those commands. In that case use an app like Astro or AppManager to copy non-private apks to the sdcard, but for private apps you'll have to redownload them (without being charged of course.)

Only if they're non-private (reside in /app, private being /app-private).
He's probably coming from WinMo. We called a factory reset/wipe a hard reset.

Slightly off topic lol But i see you said Private does that mean you could manually back up Private apps you buy off market by just copying them /w root access?
When I run the following from an adb shell, with or without SU root:
cp /data/app/* <my location on sd>
I always get:
cp: permission denied
In fact, no matter how or where I cp from or to, and no matter what I am trying to copy, even if I leave all arguments blank, I still get "cp: permission denied" -- I have busybox installed in /system/xbin from /data/local and as far as I can tell it installed ok. Phone is a rooted Sprint hero 1.56.651.2 running stock ROM.
I have also tried to 'adb pull /data/app' and it always find 0 files. None of this is a big deal for me, however, as I am just trying to backup a bunch of apks for free apps in case versions change too much. Mostly just curious...
Any ideas?
EDIT: Both Astro and AppManager handled the (non-private) apk backups fine -- so I have no real need for the cp method to work, but I am still wondering why it will not -- is it the adb shell? must I use a terminal emulator from on the phone instead? something else? Anyways, if I really want to pursue it, perhaps I should take it to a busybox thread at this point...
EDIT2: It appears as if the 'cp' command as I was running it wasn't getting passed through busybox (not sure why). From what I can piece together reading other threads, it seems that if you have installed busybox on top of a ROM that doesn't already have it (like stock, after rooting and recovery setup) than you must prefix commands with 'busybox' when entered, as in 'busybox cp /data/app/* <my location>' and it does work for me that way. Still cannot seem to copy /data/app-private which I thought having root access would allow -- I guess I just don't understand nearly enough about busybox implementation, linux permissions, and, well, linux in general.
You could try an app manager and back 'em up from there.
Just try the following command.
busybox cp /data/app/* /sdcard/<your backup loc>

Well in windows
'adb pull' is used if that helps
This is the latest release of my fix (June 14, 2011). This version addresses the Market ID and Moto Blur issue.
I have not had a chance to test the latest version, aside from verifying the awk command works as exptected. The rest is a strong educated guess, mixed with a re-tooling of it to just use Android Debug Bridge to do what I was having scripts do in the past. Should be much more reliable.
IF YOU DECIDE TO USE THESE INSTRUCTIONS: PLEASE, read through this page entirely from top to bottom at least once prior to doing anything. This way, if you are unsure on anything, you can ask the questions you need answers to. I am not liable for anybody messing up their phone because they didn't think to read the F'n manual prior to following these steps.
If you don't read this through completely before starting, and you brick your system, Don't come crying to me. I warned you.
This version makes it close to impossible to brick the system, but I left that bit in to cover my arse.
Earlier today, I wrote instructions on how to root the flipside. Now, I have Unknown Sources enabled. Here's how you can do it.
First, if you don't have root, follow these directions:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=9702394&postcount=4
Next, you will need to run a script, but for the script to work you will need to install busybox to your rooted flipside. You can either get it from the market, or download it somewhere on the web. I tried installing it from the market, but it just timed out on download for some reason.
Once you have busybox, you have an environment ready for enabling Unknown Sources. Lets do it:
Latest version installs busybox for you]
I have not tested it, so you may still need to tell it to install, but it installs the apk.
1. Download the attachment located in this post.
Unzip to a folder on your desktop.
PLUG IN YOUR PHONE NOW!!!
Double click on the batch file ("enable_unknown_sources.bat"). You may have to run as administrator, but I don't think so. Built on Windows XP (I'm a linux guy who wrote this at work in a couple minutes)
When it prompts for you to OK the super user for "unknown", look at your phone. It should have a prompt. If not, it may be ok. We will see....
once your phone has rebooted, you phone will have "unknown sources" enabled already. Don't worry about rebooting. The batch file did that for you.
Quite a bit less work than before. Good news: it's done! never to worry about it again...unless you upgrade....
DISCLAIMER:
DO NOT FOLLOW ANY OF MY STEPS IF YOU ARE UNSURE OF WHAT YOU ARE DOING! I have done my best to ensure that the instructions are accurate, but I made mistakes in the first revision, so who's to say that I didn't miss something this go 'round as well? If you decide to follow this walk-through, your actions are an agreement to not hold me liable if your phone becomes a pretty brick. I am not responsible for what you do with this information. If you have no idea how to do any portion of these instructions, you can either walk away (best idea), or ask for help here.
I am also not the 2nd shooter on the grassy knoll, nor am I the cause of all your woes throughout life. I always wanted to say that in a disclaimer.
run_second.sh
i get errors when i attempt to run your run_second
though for the life of me... i can't figure out what's wrong with it?
What error do you get?
on all 4 of the cp commands... i get a return of
cp: (destination directory): Invalid argument
EDIT: tried the run.sh script... got an invalid file/folder error on the mount... on one of the cp's... and on the chmod of the same
EDIT: i manually edited the 2 files in the system directory using notepad++ and droid explorer...
couldn't find the 2 databases anywhere on the phone? hidden?
Odd. I did this:
Code:
ls /data/data/com.motorola.android.providers.settings/databases
and I get this back:
Code:
settings.db
The only time I cannot do that is if I don't have super user.
DOH! just realized the issue. once you type "SU", go to your phone, and tell it to allow application "unknown" super user.
Forgot about that part.
well... here's one for you then... i have nothing in my /data/ directory...
never did...
EDIT: wait... droid explorer lied to me... now if i could just get into that file... i could hard change them without having to deal with all the scripting
script typo
Thanks for the script. I have managed to enable it by following your script.
However there are a few typo in your script that caused errors. I have corrected them. You may check attached script.

Did you install busybox? Please, run through what you have done so far. My goal is to get a comprehensive how-to together, and any and all input I can get will assist me to that end.
i'm getting read only file errors on the script now... i assume some file attributes need adjusting... not sure how to do that...
Did you remount /system/ in rw mode, as mentioned in the walkthrough? /system is read only by default, but part of my how-to explains how to re-mount it in read/write
all 5 chmod statements return no file found....
EDIT: even reboot is no found
that sounds like you don't have super user, or busybox isn't installed.
i have super user access... i used z4root... this also installs busybox... or so i'm told...

That does not install busybox. As stated in my how-to, you will need to either download busybox from the market, or get it from the web.
I know it says it does, but I didn't have busybox features until I installed it manually myself.
root explorer FTW
so... after using root explorer to manually edit the mkitso files... and copy the databases from the /ab/ directory....
i made it work...
Hallo there. Please I would appreciate if you can help me. When you say:
1.Look for the one that says "/system". Mine says "/dev/block/mtdblock7"
- Mine says the same too, is that right? Could it be different? Why sould we care where it says 'system'?
2.'type this in (changing the /dev/ as needed)':
-When you say 'as needed' that means changing the /dev/ is not neccesary? What does ir depends? If it's neccesary, what should I type instead of /dev/?
3. 'Code:
mount -o rw,remount -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock7 /system'
-Must that line be typed exactly as it's shown? I've done so and after running the commands:
cd /sdcard/
sh run.sh
-This error message appears:
No such file or directory
I've rooted with z4. I've already installed BusyBox from the market, altought I can see it's not an app that appears like the others: I've just got an Icon named 'busyBox Installer' and after all it says 'busybox is successfully installed'.
Please excuse my bad english and thank you very much in advance for your help
1. I wrote it that way just in case it was different anywhere else. It shouldn't be.
2. when I said "change /dev/..." It was in reference to 1. above
If /system is /dev/block/mtdblock7 as listed, you don't need to change it.
If /system is /dev/block/mtdblock21 (example), you would need to change my command to read:
mount -o rw,remount -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock21 /system
That's what I mean when I said change /dev as needed. Seeing how yours is the same as mine, that is not necessary.
3. the command to mount /system will not affect the sdcard. Make sure the /sdcard isn't mounted on your computer. In windows, look in "My Computer", or your languages equivelant, and if you see the phone there, right click and tell it to unmount. Wait a few seconds for the phone to access the SD card, and try again.
so, I too have problems running run.sh
I tried both the one in the original post and the typo fix in the other post. Both didn't work. I get file not found errors.
Yeah, I have z4root done and busybox installed no problem.
For some reason it's not seeing the files when I run run.sh.
Here's a copy paste just to prove what I am seeing:
Unable to chmod /system/etc/motorola/com.android.providers.settings/secure.mkitso
: No such file or directory
Unable to chmod /system/etc/motorola/com.android.providers.settings/system.mkitso
: No such file or directory
I verified that my sdcard has /ab/ folder copied over, and all the subfolders and files from the original archive are moved over.
What gives?
found this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1174160 here in the forum, but cant get it to work on my neo
after a little seaching i found an other script that seems to work on NEO maybe on ARC too
also install-recovery.sh isnt execute on my neo so i put the call into hw_config.sh and it works fine now
howto.
1. push dalvik2cache /system/bin/dalvik2cache
2. adb shell
3. chmod 755 /system/bin/dalvik2cache
4. echo "/system/bin/dalvik2cache" >> /system/etc/hw_config.sh
5. reboot
btw. you need an inscured adb or an insecure kernel like this -> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1197263
if you do that, then at your own risk, do not complain when your phone is broken
hi,
i think it should also work without insecure adb and with stock kernel.
but root is needed...
copy the dalvik2cache file to sdcard first
with rootexplorer copy file to system/bin
set permissions
edit the hw_config.sh with editor (rootexplorer)
works great, thanks!
since my kernel supports init.d binaries/scripts u can actually just push it to /etc/init.d/ OR /system/etc/init.d/
it should work... though u may need to verify permissions... chmod 777 is best bet

since my kernel supports init.d binaries/scripts u can actually just push it to /etc/init.d/ OR /system/etc/init.d/
it should work... though u may need to verify permissions... chmod 777 is best bet

i placed a scipt in /etc/init.d/ but it isnt execute on startup ...
ps:
the script is startable and permissons should be ok.
if i place the name of that script (/etc/init.d/start.sh) at the end of hw_config.sh then its executet on startup
Hi friends,
I've been trying to do this but I really don't know how to use adb. I have Android SDK installed on my computer, and fastboot, flash...ect. But every time I type "adb remount" then I get the answer is 'adb' is not found (blah blah blah...).
Plus my phone can't boot to recovery. Anyone please tell me where can I find the instruction how to do it? I really want to have more space for my phone and move all installed apps to sd card (I also have my sd card partitioned with ext3 and fat32).
Many thanks in advance.

Have a look at first post in this thread - you have to copy two files

You will have to unlock your phone first and then, using adb, install a custom kernel by fx. DooMLoRD from the link in my signature.
I dont know how to use cmd, can I use Root Explorer?
Anyway to revert it back? Because few apps are missing after it's done.

found this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1174160 here in the forum, but cant get it to work on my neo
after a little seaching i found an other script that seems to work on NEO maybe on ARC too
also install-recovery.sh isnt execute on my neo so i put the call into hw_config.sh and it works fine now
howto.
1. push dalvik2cache /system/bin/dalvik2cache
2. adb shell
3. chmod 755 /system/bin/dalvik2cache
4. echo "/system/bin/dalvik2cache" >> /system/etc/hw_config.sh
5. reboot
btw. you need an inscured adb or an insecure kernel like this -> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1197263
if you do that, then at your own risk, do not complain when your phone is broken

I'm sorry was that a typo? When your phone gets broken! Or if?

Hi harfot,
Thank you so much! I have it done now! But I wonder why the free space in my phone is now still the same (184MB - Because I only have a few apps installed).

hi,
i think it should also work without insecure adb and with stock kernel.
but root is needed...
copy the dalvik2cache file to sdcard first
with rootexplorer copy file to system/bin
set permissions
edit the hw_config.sh with editor (rootexplorer)

hey! This sounds like a best solution if you dont want to unlock the bootloader. But I am not too advanced user yet, could you please explain me this one with more details? actually I only need to know
1). which permissions exactly need to be set and
2). what to write inside the hw_config.sh file
Any help appreciated!
bump! no one has any ideas?
Thanks it's work in arc
Hello,
I have SM-N9005 variant and recently I updated to the latest android 4.4.2 leaked version with Odin, and then rooted with CF-Auto-Root.
After that, I lost the permission to write to external sdcard.
I searched and found this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=49603814
I backed up /system/etc/permissions/platform.xml and then I followed the instructions there.
After restart, a lot of app stopping messages showed and I had no access to file system or network anymore.
I used adb shell to restore the original platform.xml but it didn't helped in any way.
It seems that all mounts and networks are working, but none of the applications has permission to use any of them.
How do I resolve this, without wiping all my data?
Thank you!
You need to set the correct permissions on the .xml after you overwrite it back into the /system Off the top of my head I can't think what they are (just out of bed and got to work so still sleepy!)

I tried 644 and 777 but the problem persists.
rw-r-r which is 644 - read wrong
or chmod 666 -- forgive my lack of memory, it has been a long time since I have used chmod commands, few years since my glFTPD / site modding days.

i dont know if it helps in your situation but did you try the "fix permissions" from a custom recovery like twrp?
there are also scripts you can execute in a terminal, the knoxout script linked in my sig for example has a permission fixer included.

Thank you.
When i run this, no matter what are the parameters, for example: sh kn0x0ut.sh kn0x0ut
it says:
ERROR: Unknown parameter ""

just type sh kn0x0ut.sh to get all commands.
if you dont get this working, you can do it from twrp (i think cwm too)if you have it.
tap on "advanced" and then on "fix permissions".
