All-In-One Auto-Root Script

I made this for all the people that seem to be having issues with rooting their phone, installing the recovery partition, and installing the new rom.
This is an all-in-one package. It's about 200MB. Includes the original root rom, recovery image, the new rom (2.1OTA rom that was just released today), as well as a few extras. It's a batch script to automate the entire process.
Here's the README file:
Code:
These are automated scripts to root your Eris phone with Android 1.5 (NOT 2.1 LEAK!!!!!)
YOU NEED THE ANDROID SDK IN ORDER FOR THIS TO WORK!
If you don't have the SDK working, visit guide on the forums for instructions.
INSTRUCTIONS:
Unzip this file to your \tools\ directory of your Android SDK. Then run one of the following files:
install_root.bat
------------------------
This script will do the following:
1) Install the root image onto your phone
2) Install the recovery partition onto your phone
3) Install the current rom using the recovery partition

Yes, I built the otacert fix into the rom.

Thanks for all your work grid, and all the others that have worked on this. Just got a new refurb the other day and was going to tackle rooting this weekend, gonna make the task so much easier.

Can you please explain what was fixed? Thanks again for your work.

The current rom is a rooted rom using the new 2.1 leak that was just released today, which is SUPPOSEDLY the "official" 2.1 update from Verizon.

What setting should be used for the phone, HTC Sync, USB, Mount SD, or nothing?

Nothing. Just connect it to your USB, and enable USB debugging. Don't mount your sdcard.

Does the market work now?
(I recall hearing that the market wouldn't work because of the test/dev certificate that was in the leaked rom)

The market will work if it doesnt work now, itll work when the OTA comes out.

Grd, this looks fantastic. I've been patient so far, and haven't upgraded to the leaked or original rooted 2.1 builds, but with the news of the latest one (and initial reports saying that it's mostly bug-free), I'm ready to take the plunge. This should be a huge help to me.
A couple of questions:
Does the big package (the 200MB one) include jcase's ROM (bare-bones basic), or yours with the tweaks? I ask because you mentioned removing pdfviewer, which I use.
Also, has anyone else gone through this process yet? Call me timid, but I'm not too keen on being the first one.

It includes my rom. You should be able to restore pdfviewer if you need it though. I can post the files in a bit.

Great. I was pretty sure that the apps could be reinstalled if needed, but wanted to confirm. I'm downloading the package now, so I'll keep you updated. I'm pretty excited about this, since I'm still at stock 1.5.

Issues, Well first It copied the PB image fine, it didnt reboot the phone i had to manually do it with vol -, now im on step two installing amons image, it transfers but it cant start files\flash_image, no such file or directory and then it cant chmod it cause its not there.

Could you copy/paste the command prompt text you're seeing? (you gotta right-click the cmd window and select Mark)

Installing Amon's Recovery Image.
1545 KB/s (3926016 bytes in 2.480s)

Finished
Your phone will now reboot and test the recovery partition.
Press any key to continue . . .

Ahh, crap...
http://www.sendspace.com/file/obtx2w
Download that file, put it in the \tools\files\ directory, then try again and let me know.
I think I got delete-happy removing some temp files and deleted flash_image by accident.

Worked great
I just went through the install.bat file and everything worked 100% just as promised. I have not installed any of the extras yet. Thanks for the great work!

flash_image was it worked a treat its in amon_ra now was trying manually and came across it missing, went to post it and you had just now

One suggestion before letting adb copy the 2.1 rooted img to the phone have it delete the PB so users dont accidently click on it. Just a lil cleanup to help things out. So far its flashing 2.1 rooted I will let you know about the first error, ill go back through it again and get it to recreate.

[Q] Will this work for our WF?

Found this thread on the HTC Hero section for it's open GL will this work for our wildfire?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=899801

Yea I flashed it, noticed an improvement in playing angry birds...i think.
Sent from my HTC Wildfire using XDA App

Will it work on cm7 nightlies kevin?
Sent from my HTC Wildfire using XDA App

Yeah
Sent from my HTC Wildfire using XDA App

Yes it works with just about every ROM, but, in my view, I can't see any benefit. (I dont play Angry Birds, and, the rest of the games and LWP's don't show any benefit).

How do you do this?
Just flash it like a rom?

Well, that's what I initially did. Flash the ZIP in Post #49 in that thread. But, on reading that complete thread, I guess you have to edit the build.prop file in /system (Using Root Explorer / ADB Push Pull).
However, this is where I cant get it to work. WHenever I add the 2 lines in Root Explorer and Save Changes, the phone reboots. If I use ADB, even after pushing, when I check the same file using build.prop, no changes are visible, (The opengles.version automatically reverts back to 65536 and the line which enabled hardware acceleration of the UI is gone) and, ASI only shows OpenGL 1.0 due to this
Well, I have no idea what I am doing wrong, will try it out again and see..

I'm a newb with this.
Could someone possibly make a bit more explained guide?

Very basic guide:
* Get Root Explorer or any other file manager that can show the root folders
* Open Root Explorer, change permissions on top to R/W (Be very careful after that. Dont delete anything!)
* Locate the file build.prop under /system
* Long Press the file, Select Edit with Text Editor
* Updated: (ADB Commands Copy - Pasted from another post by kevin2516. Thanks mate )
*Make sure ADB is installed on your system and it is working. There are many guides available to install ADB, so I wont be going into that.
*Start Command Prompt (cmd), Browse to your "Tools" folder into your SDK
*Use the ADB Pull Command adb pull /system/build.prop
*This will now be saved to your tools folder. Edit is using Wordpad / Notepad++ (Not Notepad) as follows:
*Locate a line which starts with dalvik. (The first one, there are 3 of them)
Add the following 2 lines before that:
debug.sf.hw=1
ro.opengles.version=65537
* Save it.
* Push it back to System using the ADB Push Command: adb push build.prop /system/build.prop
* Reboot ADB using the adb reboot command
* Then, grab the Flashable Zip in that thread from Post #48
* Flash it as normal
Done.
Check whether it is implemented or not by going to Android System Info > System Tab > OpenGL. Here, there are 2 OpenGL versions. The first line should say 1.1, and the second should say OpenGL 1.0 ES.

With S-On you cannot change the systemfile directly I think. Thats the reason why your system not keep the change. I have write by myself a little install zip and flash it with nandroid and it works. the zip only works with wildpuzzlerom v0.8 and you can find in the thread for wpr0.8.

Well, I took your flashable ZIP, removed the build.prop it contained, and replaced it with the build.prop of CM7 Nightly 2. Then, I tried flashing it, still no change.
Now, I have no idea whether I am 'allowed' to change flashable ZIP's like that or not, but, from what it is looking like, I am still unable to get this working on CM7NB2. I'll probably try making a flashable ZIP from scratch later as I get time.

If it's simple enough, it would be nice if you could tell how to do a flashable zip (or yourself make a one suitable for CM6/7 ). I just want to test these libraries on CM7, any help is appreciated
Don't expect nothing special, I'm not a dev!

You wrote : last edit: I didn't notice any difference, much like the test ran above. I'm going to revert until more knowledgeable people look at this.
if it is like you saying, then i dont have point to that **** too.
i think devs who makes this rom should instal in rom everything what can increase perfomance. so im waiting for the rom with all those things instaled.
will it happen someday?:/

Which is exactly what I said in the CM7 thread. No one here has till date, found verifiable gains, with using OpenGL on the Wildfire. Everyone reports the same thing, that there is no or absolutely negligible (Which I think is just a mind thing) change in gaming / intensive applications performance.
If you are looking for ROM's wit inbuilt OpenGLES Support, WildPuzzle has a flashable ZIP, and DS and DK Roms provides it inbuilt in its latest version. For the others, the manual method has to be followed.

[Q] Custom ROM developing

Hi just asking if anyone knows any links or archives or anything i can read through, im looking to build my own ROM. any help would be much appreciated and dont mind donating to someone that can help me start to learn.
Thanks

Well, first of all you need to be able to compile Android. This is pretty easy and it's explained directly in the developers google website. If you're not running a Nexus One or a Nexus S, you can't actually compile a working android copy for your own phone "as is" from AOSP. Because of this, you firstly need to change / create some dirs and files in order to add the support for your particular device. I'd start searching on CM repositories for this (I've got the Nexus One and thus I don't have such problems).
After you've compiled Android for your device and your changes (for example root), you'll have some disk images (you can find them all under out/target/product/PHONE_MODEL/, they are the .img files). You can directly flash them via fastboot ("fastboot flash boot boot.img" etc.). You can though create an update.zip file, and this can be made extracting the system.img file in a folder. Remember that you'll have to recreate the symlinks (to toolbox and/or busybox if you want to include it in your build) and set permissions, as zip doesn't save the permissions of the files once compressed.
Thus so far, if you succeed making every single step you should have your ROM on your phone

[Solved]Hulu for Gingerbread?

Hey guys,
So I noticed my flash_installer_signed_v3 zip I've been using (for hex edited flash so hulu works) no longer works with any Gingerbread builds. Flashing the zip makes it not boot (could be because of the newer CWM), but usually I was able to modify the libflashplayer.so in /data/data/com.adobe.flashplayer/libs (or something like that) and boom I was good.
After some research it seems that Gingerbread extracts those files from the flash apk to the /data/data/com.adobe.flashplayer/libs/ on boot, so the hack doesn't stick upon reboot. In the same threads I saw people had posted modified APKs to install, which resolves this issue, because the hex edited flash file is embedded into the APK. Problem solved right? no....
The instructions for this method mentions installing the latest flash 10.3.185.24 (version number checks out, from market and their posted files). Then via ADB (I did it from within CWM to be extra safe) you take their com.adobe.flash-1.apk and replace the one in /data/app with the one they posted. When I do this flash is not recognized at all in either Browser or Dolphin. I've also tried (at other's suggestions) simply replacing the built in, preinstalled flash (in the rom, located at /system/app) and renaming their posted file com.adobe.flashplayer-1.apk to install_flash_player.apk (as it is called this when it is on the rom instead of data/market installed), still no luck.
Is there anyone out there that's had luck with modified hulu on ANY gingerbread builds? It isn't simply hulu related, as it simply lies about being a desktop machine I'm sure others could use this for HBO, possibly netflix if they have a browser viewer.
EDIT:
SOLUTION: I discovered it was impossible to get any of the built apks to work, and also that the files would be replaced on every reboot. The solution was to edit the init.rc file in root to copy the replacement hacked files on boot as shown below.
First, I downloaded the latest flash version from the market (note, this must match the hacked files you will be copying for it). Next, I took the latest APK posted here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=12433036&postcount=1 (which does contain files for 10.3.185.24, latest market version currently) and using root explorer (I believe, that or astro) opened the hacked apk, and extracted all 4 files from the lib folder into /sdcard/extracted. Next, I created a folder in /data/ called "flash" and put the extracted files in there (4). Next, I edited the file init.rc by adb push/pull (although root explorer should also work) and added the following lines below at the end of the file to copy the hacked files over the legit ones:
#fix flash
cp /data/flash/libflashplayer.so /data/data/com.adobe.flashplayer/lib/
cp /data/flash/libstagefright_froyo.so /data/data/com.adobe.flashplayer/lib/
cp /data/flash/libstagefright_honeycomb.so /data/data/com.adobe.flashplayer/lib/
cp /data/flash/libysshared.so /data/data/com.adobe.flashplayer/lib/
Note, something I noticed when trying this the first time, You must have busybox installed, preferably from the busybox installer from the market. The reason is android does not have a built-in copy utility (crazy I know). You can double check this via adb console or consolebot/local by typing in cp --help. If it can't find it, you must find the busybox installer in the market and install (I did mine to /system/bin, not sure it matters).
I hope this helps everyone who loves gingerbread and the HUGE performance boost in flash but hates their new DRM enforcement

This is above my head, but I'm excited nonetheless.

UPDATE: Just wanted to let you guys know I believe I've got a working zip all worked out, just waiting on permission from the OP of the lib files I used to reply to me saying it's cool for me to post it (imneveral0ne, posted it in the Thunderbolt forums). With everything that's going down right now figure it's best to get permission first, even if it is just for hex-editing of adobes files

Is there any update on this? Is this still the only method?

- arpspoof
- ettercap
- hydra
- tcpdump
- all required library files
Prerequisites:
1. A rooted android phone
2. The correct ADB drivers for your phone
Installation:
1. Unpack the NetworkTools compressed folder
2. Run Install.bat
3. Follow the instructions
4. Enjoy!

usb to ethernet adapter apk
Hi,
I've been already both a Usb to lan from CD-r king where I tried to use for configuration on my modem/ router but does not work 'coz as per verifying my note ll on netcfg, the ip add still 0000. Please have advise if I need to install the corresponding software driver for the usb to lan adapter.
Thank you,

Great
Thanks so much man, you simply rock.
I only had one problem, it was that adb couldn't have root access to my phone.
For future users, in order to do that go to settings -> development options and enable root access for Applications AND adb (well at least that's how it is on CyanogenMod 10).
Again, great job.
Cya!

You need to reflash your stock firmware or reboot from backup if you created one.

Hİ brother I install the this pack, but I have a questions. "how to use this programs"
a orginally Hydra or Ettercap commads is work or we use a another commads?
and what must terminal use ? a android terminal or termux ??

arpspoof error: Android 5.0 and later only support position-independent executables
I got this message when try to run it

I just had the same problem. Here is how I fixed it without reflashing the rom:
1) I extracted libcrypto.so and libssl.so from my rom installation zip and copied it to my phone storage
2) in recovery (I used orangefox and terminal), copy and replace these two files to /system/lib/
3) reboot your phone
I also removed the binaries arpspoof, ettercap, etterfilter, etterlog, usernames, tcpdump, hydra in /system/bin and libraries libgif.so, libltdl.so, libssh.so, libpcap.so in /system/lib but I don't think these are reason behind the boot loop.
