Could anyone post or email mountosh or mountosh.orig - Atrix 4G General

My mountosh file is gone. Would really appreciate it if someone could provide a copy. You can access it through adb by runnign
adb pull /system/bin/mountosh
or
adb pull /system/bin/mountosh.orig
Thank you.

Since you did not specify the version, I put 1.2.6 & 1.5.7 and 1.8.3 in here:
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/268607/mountosh.zip
new mountosh should be trivial for you to recreate, these are the original binaries.

Troubleshooting for Newbies (having a "wtf!?" moment?)

Most of this information has been repeated so many times. But I wanted to make a short list of all the silly mistakes and simple oversights I’ve made over time.
(I make mistakes constantly - there are probably some mistakes in this very post - and I usually search around and try to find my way out of them. I will edit this post whenever I run into a problem. If anyone has any input, I will gladly add it to this post.)
YOU CAN NOT COME BACK FROM UNLOCKING YOUR BOOTLOADER:
If you ever think you’ll need to or want to “relock” your bootloader, you can’t.
Alternative root method:
VISIONary
(when you launch the application, you can leave everything unchecked)
Alternative recovery option:
ROM Manager (in the market)
ALWAYS DO A NANDROID/CLOCKWORKMOD BACKUP!
It will restore everything the way you had it if you F something up.
Want to go back to original shipping, but followed this guide, downloaded the linked file and can’t find the image files?
They’re not in that file. I don’t know why. Go here and download FRG33, decompress it and use the contents to follow the tutorial
Are you getting a “verification failed” error when you try to apply an update.zip in recovery?
Mount your SD card to your computer, download whatever file you were trying to apply directly to it (don’t download it and then drag it), and rename it to “update.zip”.
If you’re using Windows, make sure “hide extensions for known file types” is unchecked in your folder options within the Control Panel. You’ll keep having problems if it’s named “update.zip.zip” and you didn’t realize it
If you're still having problems, try this download of the stock FRG83 update.
<Added 11/18> I had another facepalm moment. If you downgraded back to FRG33 and you get an "assert failed" error, flash the recovery.img from that FRG33 package you extracted. (found this solution here)
Did you flash a ROM or go back to stock, start up your phone and noticed that you’re stuck on Edge?
Go to Menu>Settings>Wireless and Networks>Mobile Networks>Network Operators>(choose your carrier), wait.
Trying to copy something from your SD Card to /system/app (for instance)?
If you use the “cat” command, DON’T FORGET THE “>” SYMBOL. Nothing awful happens as far as I know, but it’s unnerving to watch the terminal puke all over itself.
Code:
cat /sdcard/thing.apk > /system/app/thing.apk
If you’re new to Linux and/or Android and are removing apps:
BE CAREFUL with the “rm” command. Once it’s gone, it’s gone.
You can always rename (technically, "move") the files instead:
Code:
mv /system/app/thing.apk /system/app/thing.apk.bak
Switch the commands to get it back
Code:
mv /system/app/thing.apk.bak /system/app/thing.apk
And don't forget to mount /system as read and write. To do that:
Windows: (must have drivers installed, Nexus One drivers are in the SDK)
Code:
adb shell
su
Linux: (no drivers necessary)
Code:
./adb shell
su
Code:
mount -o remount,rw -t yaffs2 /dev/mtdblock3/system /system
Don't forget to mount /system as read-only when you're finished. To do that, use the same code but replace "rw" with "ro" (without quotations of course)
Having trouble connecting with adb?
In Linux, you need to be in the SDK directoy (mine is in ~/AndroidSDK/tools). In Windows, you need to have ;C:\AndroidSDK\tools in the system path, within Environmental Variables (right-click on Computer>Properties>Advanced>Environmental Variables)
Unplug the device
In Linux, cd to ~/AndroidSDK/tools (or whatever you called it) enter:
Code:
sudo ./adb kill-server
sudo ./adb start-server
Plug in the device
Code:
sudo ./adb devices
In Windows:
Code:
adb kill-server
adb start-server
Plug in the device
Code:
adb devices
Device not found?
Did you enable USB Debugging in Menu>Settings>Applications>Development?
Trying to install an .apk but it just won’t work?
Try the “adb install” method, or push the apk to /system/app. If the app force closes or doesn’t work, just remove it
Code:
rm /system/app/thing.apk
Using Ubuntu (or another Linux distro), trying to mount your SD through Amon-Ra's recovery, but it won't mount?
Disable USB-MS toggle, unplug the phone, reboot your computer, try again.

I'm glad you appreciate it. I'm not technically one of the guys on here. I've been on XDA in different device forums for a little while but have always been absorbing the information and never giving anything back. This is my first try. I can only dream of being a developer when I grow up, and solving more serious problems.

Just wondering ahorriblemess, I looked over the guide and it says:
"This will do the followings to your Nexus One:
1. Reset your system files to the original system files.
2. Reset your kernel/boot image to the original shipping boot image.
3. Reset your recovery to original recovery (if you wish)."
Since I'm a real idiot... does this guide get your baseband / radio back to original (january) shipping image as well?
I didn't see it in those 3 things and have the 5.12.00.08 version so I wanted to make sure following that guide would reset the radio baseband back to the original (january) version as well before I did it.
Now all I need to do is figure out how fastboot works and I'm gold!

I don't know. I'm in no way an expert at any of this. My intent with this thread was to compile all of the sort of simple things that I've overlooked in the past. Usually I've found solutions to those problems scattered all over the place, so I just thought it would be helpful to put them all in one place in case anyone ever has the same problems I've had.
I have a pretty good feeling about the answer, but I don't want to share it in case you decide to act on it and it's wrong.
Thanks a ton!

Hey man, I'm new so can't post in dev forum.
Your method worked for me - one thing I found. It was hanging at step 1 like some folks have reported, pushing the files (could see .ZIP on SD card), but would fail to reboot. This happened several times with Fast Boot enable under Settings>Applications. When I unchecked Fast Boot and re-ran Step 1 it worked first try. Couldn't tell you why or if just coincidence, but might help others.

For those of you who are interested in how this method works, here's the explanation. I will be focusing on what the program does,not user interaction so much except where necessary.
Push busybox, psneuter,and misc.img to /data/local/
Push PG05IMG_downgrade.zip to /sdcard and rename to PG05IMG.zip
chmod psneuter and busybox
execute psneuter
check the md5 hash of misc.img
flash misc.img to /dev/block/mmcblk0p17 if the hash is c88dd947eb3b36eec90503a3525ae0de
reboot into the bootloader
press power to enter bootloader and flash PG05IMG.zip (done by user)
once back in android:
remove PG05IMG.zip
push busybox, psneuter, and wpthis to /data/local
chmod all 3 files
run psneuter
run wpthis
push the engineering hboot(hbooteng.nb0) to /data/local/
check the md5 of the hboot file (it should be 6991368ee2deaf182048a3ed9d3c0fcb)
if it is flash hbooteng.nb0 to /dev/block/mmcblk0p18
push the PG05IMG.zip file to /sdcard
reboot into the bootloader
again press power and flash PG05IMG.zip (done by user)
push su, busybox, and psneuter to /data/local
chmod psneuter and busybox
run psneuter
mount /system as read/write (rw)
copy su to /system/xbin/su
chown and chmod su
install superuser and RomManager

I do recommend learning ADB as it is quite helpful but I realize that for some people that is a daunting task at first glance. I remember being a n00b and this will allow you to fully utilize your phone while still learning at your own pace on the side.
I am attaching just the updated exe.
Great idea showing what happens. Cool that you put something together for TBOLT owners, I just hope people will try and figure out what is going on when they use this.
After seeing a lot of issues people having with setting up adb I guess I should share this link... ADB For Dummies by AndroidSamurai
Even has an app to set everything up in the right spot.
This is a great thread on altering the android_winusb.inf for compatibility with Thunderbolt (adb driver).

Thanks for the hard work.
One of the conditions for release was that I explain what happend. Hope this helps people out.
Nicely done. thanks for your hard work and knowledge. Now to get adb up and running finally.
You're welcome, and if the program functions properly you shouldn't need to setup adb beforehand as it comes with the necessary files for interaction. If it doesn't work properly try the debugging steps I posted in the OP and if that doesn't work setting up adb as a system command (adding the tools folder to PATH) should fix things.
^Thank you kind sir. I plan on giving this a spin tonight.
Ooking o walk a friend through this.later on tonight. And he camt boot into to the bootloader so im anxious to hear any feedback about this. If u guys dont mind please post anything you feel needs to be known about this, or just post that it rocks ass

Hey guys, I didn't think about it when I created the thread but I want to have a bit of a poll here. If it works post here letting us know, and I'm fairly certain if there's a problem I'll hear about it so I don't think I need to say anything about posting them

I saw that. In my test group I had no reports of bricks, just random quirks which I have sense fixed (except those listed in the OP).
need to find an excuse to get off work early now...
Is firmware version the same as software number ? . My software number is 1.12.605.6 .
Yes it's the same, you should be fine to use this.
Looks awesome, but I'll still wait until all of the kinks have been worked out.
Since this uses the same method as manual root, it SHOULD continue to work until gingerbread.
awesome, cant wait to get outta work!
Does this wipe the phone like the manual adb does?
Yes, it's exactly the same method, just automated to make things easier.
BTW what do you mean "ADB needs to be setup as a system command"?
My ADB works properly and I can see the device so I assume that's the one I'd need to download and not the one that says "ADB need not be previously setup"?

If you get an update notification, READ THIS before you do anything

Shamelessly stolen from another forum, editing is mine.
If someone gets the update, can you please do this before you accept it. and post the logcat.txt? Please this may help rooting.
How to get the URL for the OTA zip the following way:
Run logcat on the pc and accept the update on the phone
Code:
$ adb logcat > logcat_accept.txt
This will sit like this (it continues to log output into the output file) until the phone reboots. At that point, the adb logcat job will terminate, and the name of the zip file will be indicated in the logfile in a message similar to:
Code:
W/SystemUpdateHelper( 64): !!! REBOOTING TO INSTALL /cache/
You should see a link in the file like
Code:
https://android.clients.google.com/u.../partner/*****
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
indeed, also for a good file manager to pull the zip, use estrongs its free lets you browse / just cant write to it (which isnt what we are looking to do)
great info. I remember seeing this process posted way back when, thanks for the refresher.
What if you have a mac though, w/o any boot camp either?

[Q] host file reset

I have a quick question I was wondering if someone could answer.
I updated my Atrix but forgot to reset my host file from within Adfree and now I get some ad errors from sites and games that I play. (I did remember to remove root so I wouldn't have a superuser icon floating around.) I would like to reset my host file and I believe my only option would be to flash the original SBF, root, install adfree and reset my host file.
If I don't feel like doing the above and I just wait it out and Moto/ATT releases Gingerbread, will this overwrite/reset my host file?
Hope I made sense and any help or tips would be greatly appreciated.
Hi,
/etc actually points to /osh/etc, /osh is a partition mounted read / write, so something like echo "127.0.0.1 localhost" >/etc/hosts from an adb shell or from a software terminal on your phone would probably do the trick.
Cheers!
Thanks for the response!
I'm not sure if that tip will save me to many steps though since I already ran the latest update I don't have root so I'd still have to flash the stock SBF, re-root, and then use terminal.
If I'm missing something please let me know, I'm still new to this whole thing. The ad errors aren't making my phone unusable so I was hoping by waiting for Gingerbread it would fix my host file once I upgraded to it. Any thoughts if that would work?
I flashed with the stock SBF file and all is fixed.

How to root stock 3.2

Ok, after messing around with 3.2 I decided to fix the rooting issues without downgrading. The problem with downgrading is it requires a SDCard and requires you to install a couple of programs and then to install an update.zip from the sdcard. I could not get half my ACER's to read and mount a sdcard, and some ACER's I have located in a remote office and trying to walk someone through the process was too painful. I tweaked the the downgrade tool's images to install 3.2 with root instead of downgrading it and jumping through hoops. All I did to the stock image is to copy the ash shell over to /system/xbin/su and set the sticky bit. Everything else is stock.
Update posted here, read thead http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=20654298&postcount=129
New version V4
-- The instructions are in a PDF document inside the download --
== Version V4 ==
-- Added /system/subin/su which is a backup (backdoor) root in case an OTA deletes the /system/xbin/su
-- Set permissons on the su root(#) tool so OTA's shouldn't be able to break it.
-- Added drivers for XP
Summary:
Version V4 is the same as V3 with the only difference being that there is a NEW backdoor script which has some additional features to protect root(#) from getting broken when you do an OTA. I also applied these to this flash image so you wouldn't have to add the additional protection yourself. V4 also has the drivers for XP included. However, when taking an OTA you should also install the backdoor for additional protection. However, you cannot leave the backdoor installed as it turns off sound. So having a little more protection just might save your root in case you take an OTA and forget to install the backdoor.

Which 3.2 update is it ? Fully working, no issues ? Good job. Is it power + volume down or volume up to go into recovery ? And is it possible to flash a custom kernel like Honeyvillain on this stock ROM ?
Thx
Has anybody ( including OP) tried this method?
It is the 3.2 OTA for WiFi that my Tablet picked up. It is total stock other than making a SU from the ash shell and putting it into /system/xbin.
Fully works, no issues, have used it on 8 ACER 500's with no issues.
To enter recover it is the left side of the volume button which is volume (-) oopps NOT (+) as I indicated.
Hah, saying Vol +/- is not intuitive on this device since when in landscape, Vol + is the "right" side, but in portrait mode Vol + is the "top" side.
no go
Hi, i can see my iconia uid from adb ( already installed in my pc) but
not from test.cmd, in the extracted package. Any ideas?

same here i run the setup file and it installs but after i run test.cmd and it cant find it
Sorry about the test.cmd not working. The script just calls adb.exe to make sure it is working and I have it installed in another directory that I did not include. I posted, to the original message an attachment, it is called fix-Test.7z that fixes the test.cmd. You should be able to just unzip it into the directory you created and run the test. The archive includes the adb.exe and dll's so the test.cmd should work. If you have adb.exe working you really don't the test.cmd, but I found out when talking someone through it (over the phone) this made sure that adb.exe was installed and they had the tablet USB Debugging turned on.
And it is a quick and easy way to get the serial number which you need to flash it.
Thanks,
Let me know if you have any more issues.
does anyone know if flashing it this way will delete all your data on the tablet?
NO GO2
The attchment does fix the test.cmd "problem" but the next step, Dotnetdetecter, does not work. It re-installs the driver (?) then error "adb is old" or something like that. All packages in my computer's ADB are up to date. I think that the "target" directory in the DONETDETECTER IS NOT CORRECT. ANY IDEAS? btw GOOD WORK!!!!!
Many thanks for this. It is really easy like this. Keep up the great work.
UPDATE
Installed, booted, but no root. Previous rom( acer update) was3.2 Gen 2, now 3.2 Gen 1. was worth a try.. Thank you... tablet is working just fine, just no root

Yea. I've never done this before so I'm wondering the same thing.

Idk about this test thing but if u type 'adb devices' it'll show you which devices (if any) are connected. I always use that as a test when i use the adb to install apks.

Not sure what that would be. I just use the adb.exe and dlls that are in the fix.zip. Maybe you have a different version loaded?
ROOT IS NOT in the apps. It is in the adb shell.
What this does is allows you to connect to the device using adb.exe shell and you will get the $ prompt.
at the $ prompt type su and press enter. You will get # and be in su mode.
Now you can do whatever you would like. What would that be, you might ask? Well you could do the following:
1. mount system as rw
2. Push your favorite su tools to the device so they are listed in the apps (busybox etc).
Again this gets you to 3.2 with the ability to have a SU when connected via the adb shell. I left the building of the tools and custom CW to you guys to do as you wish. Here's something else you could do.
1. Shell to it, and issue the SU
2. Mount system as rw
3. Push your favorite tools to where you want (busybox etc)
4. Take the recovery.img (in the zip) and dd dump it to the recovery partition. This will put clockwork on the device (1.5).
a. You should probably run itsmagic too.
5. Get everything the way you want it.
6. Reboot to recovery and CW will load.
7. Now with CW 1.5 loaded, you can build and make copies of your ACER and make them available to anyone you like. CW 1.5 does NOT require an external SDCARD.
Sorry, if I did not make it clear that this is just a SU that you have to use from the command line. If someone wants to give me the links to a SU apk, busybox, etc they'd like included I'd do it. It would only take a few minutes as I got hundreds of these ACER's to flash for our company. I just wanted to get SU, but what the heck, I could build it out if someone would like it that way. ACER really pee'd me off with this, and guess what? They left the ability to gain root in the 3.2 100. Why the 'Sam Heck' did they change the 500 3.2 so you cannot get root?
So, anything I can do to help let me know. Also, If you never want ACER to send you another update I can tell you how to fix that too. All you have to do is the following:
1. Get to the adb shell $
2. type su to get the # prompt
3. Now mount system as rw by doing the following:
a. mount -t rfs -o remount,rw system /system
4. Now rename the update tool by doing the following:
a. mv /system/app/FDUpdater.apk /system/app/FDUpdater.apk.old
mv /system/app/FWupdateService.apk /system/app/FWupdateService.apk.old
5. To get OTA then just reverse the process if you ever want ACER and their OTA to break your fleet of ACER Tablets by pushing silly updates that they think you want then you can undo it. The last I knew, I owned these ACER Tablets and I don't take kindly to them changing something that I do NOT WANT CHANGED. They should be sued, matter of fact, I think they are violating federal laws by destroying data on MY tablets. Anyway, off my soapbox.
i have re run the new test.cmd and is working now, and have successfully run dotnetdetector but i dont want to proceed until someone can confirm if doing this will wipe all data on the tablet
appreciate it, great work btw dev!
---------- Post added at 05:05 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:39 PM ----------
did this wipe the data on it?
Hello, may i use this procedure on my A501?
Thanks
I did NOT test on the 501 so I do not know. If it was me, I would take the 501 stock images and put them in the kitchen and root them and then replace the ones in my zip with those or better yet, use CW to flash it in.
I think the ACER 501 has cell phone data connection doesn't it? I don't think the stock for WiFi only would be a good idea.
What ACER did on the 3.2 update (my opinion) was removed the Gingerbreak exploit and they removed the adb root exploit (they left the adb root exploit in on the 100). This is what many OEM's did, however many allow you to flash your own easier than ACER seems to want to let us. So if you got 3.2 NON-ROOTED loaded then there is no way to 'hack' out a root (just yet).
So how do you root it? You have to make a custom ROM and flash it. Now ASUS/Motorola/Samsung/Toshiba all allow you to flash your own ROM if you know what you are doing.
ACER seems to hide how to put the tablet into flash mode (if someone knows please let me know). Even if you did flash it they do want those ROMS running so they take each partition and calculate the MD5Sum and write it to, I think, partition #7. Therefore, if you do figure out how to flash in a new boot image or system image the tablet will not boot because the MD5Sums will not match (if you brick your tablet this way you are fubar). Fortunately, someone wrote a tool called itsmagic which you can run to tell the tablet to rebuild these. But if you fubar brick it before you get itsmagic run, I don't know how you get into flash mode using the keys so you'd be up a creek.
So, the 411 skinny on rooting an ACER with 3.2 is to get 3.2 off the device. Fortunately, they made an earlier flashing tool to flash in 3.0. I would guess this leaked out as a way for people to reflash to stock when they have issues.
Once you are on 3.0, you now can use Gingerbreak or the adb root exploit to root it. Once rooted, you can get CW loaded. CW allows you to install your own ROM's. Without CW you can only install ROM's signed by ACER and without ROOT you cannot install CW.
So, if you flash to the 3.0 now you are 'back to the future' in 3.0, you can root and install CW so you can now install a custom ROM from your SDCard.
What I would do is go get the STOCK ROM from ACER for your 501 device.
Once you have the stock ROM, you can use the kitchen tools to unzip the ACER ROM and root it to your liking. Now, re-zip it, but you cannot sign it with an ACER certificate so it will only install using CW. No, big deal because you got 3.0 loaded with CW. You boot to recovery CW and then run the update from your SDCard that you built in your kitchen.
This isn't really that hard to do if you're willing to read some documentation.
I have no idea if it wipes it clean totally. It does walk you through the setup again (like it was new out of the box) so I would assume most things would be wiped. I would back it up and not take the chance because it is best to be backed up.
Just a note here. It says fully stock execpt root? i don't think that's entirely accurate. I believe that it's still downgrading the bootloader, otherwise you'd never be able to get CWM to run, as itsmagic doesn't work with the new bootloader. So your left with stock 3.2 ROM with adb/su abilities and pre 3.2 bootloader.
On another note, I believe step 17 is not needed. CWM run's itsmagic automatically on every boot. So just booting CWM and then rebooting to android should suffice.
