Skype installation - Galaxy S I9000 General

I am trying to install the Skype from market by every time it gets downloaded full and when the installation starts it says insufficient memory. Pls i need this app very much is this a known issue? or only with my phone?

Clear cache by going to recovery seems to solve that problem for me.

i used "Android Terminal Emulator" app from market. and did the following as described in another thread
[*]Root your device.
[*]Get a shell on your device, for example by using "Android Terminal Emulator" (easier option) – or by enabling "USB debugging" in Settings => Application => Development, connecting your device to your computer via USB and using the Windows command line tool "adb.exe shell" (Android Debug Bridge).
[*]Type "su" [ENTER] in the shell to gain root permissions. (You might have to confirm granting root permission on your device.)
[*]Type "cd /data/data" [ENTER] and then "ls" [ENTER]. You should see a folder named "com.skype.raider".
[*]Type "rm -R com.skype.raider" [ENTER] to delete Skype's leftovers.
[*]Type "exit" [Enter] twice, close the shell and re-install Skype.
[/list]
it worked perfect on my Samsung indulge from metro.

Pershoot Kernel question

Hi guys,
could anyone explain me please how to enable usb charging with Pershoot´s Kernel (boot-cm_2636.4_ux-oc-xtra-vfpv3-d16_fp-101811)?
I rly don´t get this:
adb shell echo 1 > /sys/class/power_supply/battery/force_usb_charging
Thank you very much.
Sure bud,
The script you posted is meant to be run in a command prompt using the tablet's ADB interface. To access this you need the Android SDK (that is the tool for app development) installed on your PC. You can look up how to do this all over the interweb.
To make your life easier though, download a terminal emulator app from the Market, there are plenty of free ones. Once you've done that open it and run the script as follows
su
echo 1 > /sys/class/power_supply/battery/force_usb_charging
The "su" command gives you root access just as "adb shell" would in command prompt.
The catch is the script is not persistent after reboot. So you will need to run it again if you reboot the tab. This doesn't really bother me cause I only use it for charging in the car and it takes like 30 seconds to type in the script.
Enjoy!
Thank you very much!
Now it´s working.

how do you make it stick ?
I ask this question in another forum and the result was, it´s not possible (maybe wrong).
By the way, after I enable USB charge, my notebook can´t find my Tab anymore.

I found a way to very easily get it running.
download terminal emulator.
Go to system preference of terminal emulator and there is an option to enter initial command to after you start terminal emulator.
so just type in:
su - root
echo 1 > /sys/class/power_supply/battery/force_usb_charging
Whenever you start teminal emulator, it will enable usb charging

Amazon Kindle Fire 6.2.2 Rooting on a Mac

I've been primarily following the instructions available at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1443071, however I've run into some basic issues.
When I run BurritoRoot3 (verified off the big red 3 in the app), the app does not give me a "root" option and immediately opens a dialog box requesting me to "run /data/local/tmp/BurritoRoot3.bin --root" through adb to start the process?"
I have the kindle device listing in "adb devices" as "7A7C002600000001 device"
I try to run the command listed and get an error that the bin file does not exist.
"adb reboot" does reboot the device
"adb root" gives me "adbd cannot run as root in production builds"
the one automatic script for mac & 6.2.2 keeps giving me "error: device not found" errors.
-----
Everything I can find to test the computers install of ADB seems to verify that its working correctly and my forum searching + google search skills are failing me: anyone know some forum threads that cover this?
- the app does not give you a root option - it only guides you what to do
- have you followed all steps ?
adb shell chmod 777 /data/local/tmp
adb install BurritoRoot3.apk
<go open the app now>
adb shell /data/local/tmp/BurritoRoot3.bin --root
adb shell /data/local/tmp/BurritoRoot3.bin --install
maybe you have to do the adb commands with ./ in front (eg ./adb whatever)

You have to make sure that you do this command:
adb shell chmod 777 /data/local/tmp
Otherwise it will not make a "BurritoRoot3.bin" file, which means no root.
Install the BurritoRoot3.apk on your kindle, and go into the app.
After that is finished, input:
adb shell /data/local/tmp/BurritoRoot3.bin --root
Then:
adb shell /data/local/tmp/BurritoRoot3.bin --install
I found http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1410223 which has that chmod command in it. Naturally I found that thread 10 minutes after I posted and was so dumbstruck with myself that I didn't post a reply to my own post.
The device is rooted now and I installed the Alpha Release of MIUI 4.0.? and naturally a few things don't work. Trying again with MIUI's 2.3 stable release (don't know the version number off the top of my head)
Thanks for the quick reply and looking out

Possible new way to ROOT

New possible root method on Thinkpad tablet forums, by OPDECIRKEL. He needs help testing it out.
look here and lets cross our fingers =D
http://www.thinkpadtabletforums.com...nt/yareftpt-yet-another-root-exploit-for-tpt/
opdecirkel released the exploit -> http://opdecirkel.wordpress.com/2012/03/18/yareftpt/
unfortunately, it doesn't work. =( can't execute "adb remount" when the script calls for it, but hopefully things will get ironed out soon.
***EDIT***
updated script worked!

Not sure if it can help you, but try checking the TPT forum thread again, there has been some advances and troubleshooting going on
Moved To General​
As the first post is just a link and contains no development, this has no place in this section​
updated -> http://opdecirkel.wordpress.com/2012/03/18/yareftpt/
Someone thinkpadtabletforum reported that it worked for him.
updated script worked for me! cwm installed fine as well!
I achieved root with the new method on OTA 2.5. Also installed CWM with no issues. Works great.
Sent from my PC36100 using Tapatalk
I can confirm it worked!
I had to update first because the "Disable Battery Discharge" option was not there. (I guess my Tablet stopped getting OTA updates since I was on ThinkPadTablet_A310_02_0024_0065_US... Also, you have to update one at a time, you can't go from 24_65 straight to 37_75. Also, I stopped at 39_86 since I was impatient.)
I like this once since we can see how it worked rather than blindly running some guys program (I never tried the first root.)
I can also confirm the new method to be working. Just rooted my 0089_WE TPT. Works like a charm
I am quoting the following post (i don't have privilege to post there): forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=23902281&postcount=64

I unrooted and then updated, now I can't root. I updated the SDK and made sure I have the proper drivers needed. So I take back my easy comment. I'll keep trying I might just manually push the files back.

How did it fail? At which stage and what error did you get?
Okay, I'll try and flash the oldest update zip, and it fails as it should, then I wipe the cache part, reboot, and I hit enter when I gets to the unlock screen then the CMD window closes.
EDIT: I spent a good hour or so combing through my PC and these forums and tried both methods a lot, and this one finally worked. It wouldn't let me get to the /cache/recovery/pwn/su part of the script. Thank you all for your support.
I have problems...
Hi all,
Apologizes for my english, too bad to discuss this kind of issues. Sorry in advance.
I had the "fantastic" idea to update the firmware some weeks ago, when I was SU. After this, I've lost most of capabilities!
I tried to follow the procedure, but I cannot reach 'root' in any case. I have version WE089. Downloaded US060, but there's only 065 for Western Europe. I got both, just in case..
Unfortunately, in the first step it failed I'm not able to update anything. The process crashes when is loading old firmware, either US060 or WE065.
I've realised that during the process I loose the USB link connection (when I reboot), and the system tries to install again and again the driver. If the TPT is running in recovery mode, it seems that is not connected via USB... If I have the tablet in "normal use", I see it through the Windows Desktop.
Other question: should I disconnect the Internet connection?
I guess other requirements are right (ADBD, debugging mode,...). It's really annoying, it took me a lot of hours and I haven't found any solution.
Can anybody help me? What I'm doing wrong?
Cheers!

goto device manager. right click on Android device. reinstall device driver.
This worked for me in recovery when the device was not recognized.
Edit: look here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1471106&page=2
What do you mean with loosing the connection? Is the adb driver installed correctly? Where did you get it from? Is it an genuine lenovo driver? If so, than you shouldn't worry!
Perhabs it's the MTP driver, that is missing when you boot into recovery? If it's the adb driver, than you should try jlove's method.
In addition I wanted to inform you, that the new method worked for me, too! Even with some complications... by this way, thanks again to opdecirkel!
Because the run.bat script did't worked correctly, I had to do it manually. So I put the "yareftpt" on C:\\, started cmd.exe, booted the TPT into recovery and changed the directory in cmd.exe with "cd.." to "cd yareftpt" ...followed the instructions with the update...
echo 4. Reboot in RECOVERY: (shutdown the tablet, then start it and press volume + few times until it starts in recovery)
echo 5. Go to apply update, select the update from the sdcard and try to apply it. It will fail, but that is OK.
echo 5. Then, go to 'WIPE CACHE PARTITION' and select it (navigate with volume buttons and select it with power button),
echo 6. When wipe cache complete, press (here) ^<ENTER^>.
and after that I copied the first line of the script into cmd and executed. I did it line after line, just to the next step. (dark green= copy line after line, paste and execute)
adb shell "/system/bin/mkdir /data/local/pwn"
adb shell "/system/bin/mkdir /data/local/pwn-bak"
adb shell "/system/bin/cat /system/etc/install-recovery.sh > /data/local/pwn-bak/install-recovery.sh.orig"
adb shell "/system/bin/mkdir /cache/recovery/pwn"
adb push su /cache/recovery/pwn
adb shell "/system/bin/rm /cache/recovery/log"
adb shell "/system/bin/ln -s /system/etc/install-recovery.sh /cache/recovery/log"
adb shell "echo \"/system/bin/chmod 777 /cache\" >> /tmp/recovery.log"
adb shell "echo \"/system/bin/mount -t ext4 /dev/block/mmcblk0p4 /cache\" >> /tmp/recovery.log"
adb shell "echo \"/system/bin/chmod 777 /cache\" >> /tmp/recovery.log"
adb shell "echo \"/system/bin/mount -oremount,rw -t ext4 /dev/block/mmcblk0p4 /cache\" >> /tmp/recovery.log"
adb shell "echo \"/system/bin/chmod 777 /cache\" >> /tmp/recovery.log"
adb shell "echo \"/system/bin/chmod 777 /cache/recovery\" >> /tmp/recovery.log"
adb shell "echo \"/system/bin/chown root /cache/recovery/pwn/su\" >> /tmp/recovery.log"
adb shell "echo \"/system/bin/chmod 4777 /cache/recovery/pwn/su\" >> /tmp/recovery.log"
echo 7. On the device, go to 'DISABLE BATTERY DISCHARGE' and select it. When complete press (here) ^<ENTER^>
pause
some of commands might cause failures, but don't worry and just go on
adb shell "/system/bin/rm /cache/recovery/log"
echo 8. On the device, select REBOOT. When startup COMPLETE press (here) ^<ENTER^>
pause
adb push Superuser.apk /data/local/pwn/Superuser.apk
adb push busybox /data/local/pwn/busybox
adb push su /data/local/pwn/su
adb push pwn-in.sh /data/local/pwn/pwn-in.sh
adb shell "/system/bin/chmod 777 /data/local/pwn/pwn-in.sh"
echo Your PC command prompt appears next. Do the following things:
echo 1. adb shell
echo when '$' (adb shell) appear, do:
echo 2. /cache/recovery/pwn/su
echo when '#' appears. You are root. run the following:
echo 3. /data/local/pwn/pwn-in.sh
now you should try if you have su, even if you don't see in your app list..
download root checker, install, open and try it!
You should have root right now.
In my case, i had root, but no CWM!
So I had to install in manually, but with root it should't be a problem. you only have to download the correct cwm version:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=21916505&postcount=71
then I installed it with the Android Terminal Emulator app, because the cmd.exe method did't worked for me. You should just follow the instructions:
or you can copy img file on /data/local/ folder of your tablet (with a file manager with root permissions)
launch "Android Terminal Emulator" application
and tape the instructions
su
mount -o rw,remount /system
echo "#!/system/bin/sh" > /system/etc/install-recovery.sh
dd if=/data/local/NameOfCWMFile.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p1
http://www.thinkpadtabletforums.com...nd-development/clockworkmod-recovery-for-tpt/
After a shutdown and reboot into recovery I had cwm! So I am able to do nandroid backups...
In this way, I would particularly like to thank to all devs that made the TPT root possible! Now i like my TPT 1000% more than before...e.g. no status-bar in lecture notes -> sooo great!!
I do get the following error maybe someone can help me out

it cant find the mkdir command very strange
I'm a little rusty, but are the / and \ facing the correct way? And are you in the correct directory? Not found usually means path is incorrect.
@rangercaptain
thats the commands from the root script. I didnt change them.
the commands are send over from adb shell and the tablet is in root directory i think.
When i go into shell and type in ls i get access denied error.
and you load the update zip and wiped cache before typing the commands, right? You have to do this every time you try to root...
Try to do it with another method. Don't do it directly trough adb shell...just type the shell commands in the cmd.exe
You just have to chance the directory in cmd, before executing the commands.
Then try not to input 'adb shell' before the shortened command, but the whole command as one line like:
adb shell "/system/bin/mkdir /data/local/pwn"
Perhabs it will work..?!?
@neos
yes i do the same procedure.
I also tried over cmd with adb shell "command" and also in shell.
Always the same error.
I looked into the system/bin directory and mkdir does have filesize of 0kb...

self-contained sideloading, adb stupid tricks version. no PC required.

(as dhayman11 pointed out, "unknown sources" is in security settings, not developer options. but no luck anyway, like most of the settings app, it also crashes if you try to set it.)
instead, here is an extremely stupid idea that just came to me.
1. turn on adb wifi debugging
2. sideload your favorite terminal, e.g.
http://jackpal.github.com/Android-Terminal-Emulator/downloads/Term.apk
(ok I lied. you will need your desktop/laptop/phone/whatever, exactly 1 time. step 2 will be skipped forever after that 1 time.)
3. fire up said terminal from the settings->applications menu.
4. (LOL!)
$ adb devices
4a. if the above command shows no devices,
$ adb connect localhost
and proceed to step 5.
4b. if the command shows exactly 1 device, e.g. "emulator-5554", proceed to step 5.
4c. if the command shows more than 1 device (wtf?!) then you will need to specify a device of your choice ("-s somedevice") in every subsequent adb command, e.g.
$ adb -s emulator-5554 <whatever>
$ adb -s localhost:5555 <whatever>
etc.
5. e.g.
$ adb install /sdcard/Download/foobar.apk
$ adb shell
$ adb uninstall -k com.something.somethingelse
etc. etc.
6. profit? profit!
ok here is a slightly-less incoherent form of the senior-moment-reply I posted earlier
several days ago it occurred to me to alternatively use sshd for terminal access, because:
-a) I feel a little unsafe leaving adb wifi enabled all the time (ok it's only a small thing to turn it on and off, but still) - and for security reasons there is no way to enable/disable it programmatically e.g. from a script/shell/terminal/app (well theoretically this is not exactly true, but practically it is)
-2) some people (i.e. me) would like to do shell/terminal remotely sometimes, rather than on the AFTV (and other people don't have/want a keyboard)
ssh access makes a great alternative to Term.apk, but the problem is:
- Term.apk and/or (pick your favorite android ssh server) don't have permission to run e.g. "pm install foo.apk" - it will fail. (btw 'pm' is a great command, take a look sometime at all the options. it shares a lot of functions as the adb command itself. 'am' is another fun command...)
- so, the hilarious workaround of enabling adb wifi, "adb connect", and then finally "adb shell" or "adb install" etc., is still required. (b/c the adb user is in the 'shell' group, among others - giving it permission to run /system/bin/pm) - oh well.
for random reference:
Code:

(also note it appears the adb shell user might possibly have 'mount' abilities, but since the /dev/block/sd* nodes permissions' are really locked up, who knows...)

help rooting my phone

help rooting my phone
I'm new to android and try to rooted my phone (Samsung galaxy s5 sm-g900f)
i used all the different manuals and rooted my phone with "CF-Auto-Root-klte-kltexx-smg900f".
so now i can open shell and enter su command.
however that wasn't enough i needed to run "adb root" command,
but that gave me the error "adbd cannot run as root in production builds"
so i used another manual and changed default.prop file in boot.img.
i changed ro.secure = 0
and ro.debuggable = 1
now when i run "adb root" it returns "restarting adbd as root" but nothing happens!
after i open the shell im not rooted until i enter the su command.
so i'm assume that "adb root" is not working properly.
does anyone have any advise?
Thanks very much for the helpers
..
Thanks for your reply
I will try to be more clear because my English is not the best.
what i need is the adb to run as root. because i need to use "adb remount".
when i send "adb root" i get the reply "restarting adbd as root"
when i send "adb remount" i get "remount failed: Permission denied"
when i'm using the adb with the "su" command i have root access and everything is working properly.
I cant use a work around with the "su" command because im using a pc program that sends "adb root" and "adb remount" and it fails because "adb remount" failed on permissions
