CyanogenMod 6 installation guide !

Hey guys.
I'm a young developer from germany and today I'm gonna show you how to compile CyanogenMod 6 (based on 2.2 FROYO) for our GT-i5800.
I'd do these things on my own and upload the finished rom, but I got very little amount of free time at the moment...
Anyways, I've prepared a script for you that does it all automatically :
- getting required packages
- getting CyanogenMod's source code
- sync the repo
- pull the required files from our phones
- getting the RomManager
SO HERE ARE THE STEPS :
| THIS GUIDE IS FOR UBUNTU ONLY |
STEP 0 . Ensure ADB is working correctly.
Run
Code:
./ adb devices
and see if there is something like
(NUMBERS xxxxxxxx) device
if so, proceed to step 1!
STEP 1 . Make the script executable.
Run
Code:
[PATH TO THE FOLDER CONTAINING THE SCRIPT]chmod a+x CyanogenMod.sh
STEP 2. Run the attached CyanogenMod6.sh.
STEP 3. Flash the generated update.zip via CWM recovery
[big thx to mumbzover !]
If there are errors while running the script, please post a detailed error report in here.
AND HAREE, please move this to the dev section. Cause i cannot post there

Hi..did you manage to port it with everything working?

Well, what about the apollo device ?

No ... saidly I haven't tried this on my own because my free time is very limited at the moment.
But I want you guys to try it out !
@Dharamg3 I think it should work with both, GT-i5800 and GT-5801 apollo.
I will try to get my own hands on this in a few days ...
BTW I'm building on Ubuntu 10.04 in VMWare with Mac OS Lion as host.

mate, sorry to disappoint you, but this method wont work...it is not so easy
you need to build an apollo device from scratch...marcellusbe is already working on it, and is at a very good point already...

as it's froyo (2.2) based it might work, marcellusbe is working on CM7 with gingerbread (2.3) which is far more work.

CM6 is a very nice Rom as well...
Talking bout easy feasibility, if it was, we'd have got it long ago..
Porting Just a theme involves tons of efforts, this is a full Cyanized AOSP rom !

Not working for our phone, haven't you read the thread? There are a few devs working to get CM6 done, just wait

ok I'm waiting....

now I need to wait 10 years "repo sync" and I can Finally start build the rom. If it will work I tell you.
btw. I had a lot of problems with "repo" it wont to work, always command not found, so I needed to run commands manually with edited path to "repo".
My guide. (It worked for me to 14th. step)
If you guys going to install ubuntu you need to install sun-java6-sdk package.
sudo apt-get update (without this line you can not download java sdk)
sudo apt-get install sun-java6-sdk
sudo apt-get install curl
1. download android SDK save it somewhere. (e.g.: /home/Erik/andSDK)
2. open terminal, locate your folder with android SDK with tools folder (e.g.: cd /home/Erik/andSDK/tools)
3. type this commands into terminal: sudo chmod 777 ./android now type ./android now you can see the user interface of android SDK and emulator. Chose Available packages install every package (third-party too)
4. if you have every package, close the window, and return to the terminal
5. type: cd ../platform-tools
6. now place the CyanogenMod6.sh to this folder (/home/Erik/andSDK/platform-tools)
7. run the script: ./CyanogenMod6.sh
8. If it ask you for yes or no, type "y" for yes "n" for no.
9. You will get error (command repo not found)
10. Now you need to have somewhere 2 folders (android and bin) in bin folder you need to have file called repo. transfer this file into "~/android/system/" folder.
11. run again CyanogenMod6.sh
12. it will do something really fast, and if it ends type ./repo sync -j16 (if you are in ~/android/system/ folder)
13. if I am right and you are doing everything right you need to wait 10 years
14. now at 21:51 I got message like this: sync was stopped for some problems (after 20minutes of waiting)
Have Fun
EDIT -° Console result from step 14.

[TUT][MOD] FuguTweaks, feel the smoothness of Nexus S

Original thread here. Give thanks to nikademus
This tweak adds responsiveness on the phone. What it does is replace app_process and system_server binaries by the ones found in android 2.3.3_r1 or 3.1 (v0.2)
Note that those binaries have been compiled by me from google official source.
This has been qualified by supercurio as a taste of the Nexus S 2.3.3 smoothness.
It will not make your battery last longer or the opposite. Neither will it improve quadrant benchmarks.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
As described above, this tweak will adds responsiveness on the phone, so our device will runs smoother than usual. Also, I'm just found that this tweak will reduce lockscreen-lag yeah I can feel the difference.
This tweak is tested by me on KPN + CF-Root but I'm sure it working on other ROM/firmware, as well as Froyo.
Do this as your own risk!
Always make backup before proceed!​
To install, just download one of the file at the link below then flash with CWM (don't forget to mount /system).
Pick one, no need to use them all...
Download v0.1: Download now - currently I'm using this one
--v0.2 REMOVED. It's troublesome.
Manual install & backup:
With any root file manager, goto /system/bin and mount as R/W, backup the following files to your sdcard: app_process, system_server
Copy FuguTweak files (app_process and system_server) to /system/bin, replace the current one.
Set permissions to rwxr-xr-x (755) then change owner to:
Owner = 0 - root | Group = 2000 -shell
Reboot.
Changelog in the original thread.
0.1 = all files taken from 2.3.3 AOSP
0.2 = app_process only, taken from 3.0 AOSP
If your Ace went wrong:
Revert back any changes you've made with this flashable-zip:
Backup KPN
PS: ROM makers, would you give me a proper credit? because I've tested this awesome tweak on SGA

Right! It's Fla.sh X2 "secret" tweak which I've mentioned before

Download v0.1: = CWM recovery
Download v0.2: = root explorer
is above correct fla.sh?
and we can choose any above or do we have to do both (for gingerbread stock)?
thanks!

Actually this menu can be found in Root Explorer... linux command: chown

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
In linux systems permissions and ownership are assigned to owner, group and others .To get a particular thing to work you have to set right permissions and ownership.For ownership there is chown command and permissions chmod command.
Coming back to the topic you can change ownership by root explorer .Long press the required file and from the popup menu choose the last option-Change Owner
and change Owner = 0 - root | Group = 2000 -shell
.

Nice..
Another Brilliant Tut for our beloved fellow SGA Users..
Thanx a Lot.!

Rooting Note on JB/ICS ROM
Using CWM.zip (temporary/Touch recovery)method to root is said to be unsafe by entropy, and till safe release don't use it
Read This http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1810954
So present options for rooting are - Here below 5 option to root Note, You can select any of one.
0.Root with apk (NO MORE WORKING ON LATEST ROM)
1A.Root with stock recovery including safe kernel
1B.Root with stock recovery
2. Using Odin (will raise counter)
3.Using Mobile Odin
NEW 17 Dec2012
0.Root with apkCredit goes to Chainfire, alephzain (This method won't replace kernel, so if you root with this method,I recommend to flash safe kernel)(NO MORE WORKING ON LATEST ROM)
1.Download latest from chainfire's original thread
2.Install application as routine apk installation and open it.
3.Open Exynos Abuse application from App drawer
4.Select Root device (see image)
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
5.It will ask SuperSU permission, Grant it See image)
6.Now your device is rooted, for security purpose you can disable Exploit.(see image)
Note : This may break camera, but unchecking disable exploit make it working again
7.Open SuperSU from app drawer and update binary (see image)
How to Unroot and make status Normal
Open Exynos Abuse app, uncheck disable explot and select Unroot device (see image)
Restart device and wait for 10 min. and then you can check status.
1.Rooting with stock recovery - Thanx to Entropy who direct this way,as well always looking for safety measures for us, Chainfire for creating great tool SuperSu (and many more), Phil3759 as files,scripts derived from his Thread and Linus Yang for Busybox.
You can have two choice to root device from recovery
1A.Root + safe kernel + advance recovery. [Recommended method]
Here this will not just root your device but also add safe kernel (patched for mmc erase cap command) so you can safely wipe your device. as well gives you advanced recovery with it you can flash flashable zip files, nandroid backup/restore and more.
All credit goes to Phil3759 for awesome work.
Visit this thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1901191
And download kernel in zip format according ROM you are having on device.
-Copy downloaded file to Ext SD card to root directory
-Reboot into recovery (vol up+Home+power)
-Select install(update) zip from ext SD card
-select '[your downloaded kerenel].zip' which you have copied to Ext card above
-Reboot device
Now you will have Root + safe kernel
1B.If you want just Root but not kernel, follow this
- Download Root_SuperSu 0.95
-Copy downloaded file to Ext SD card.
-Reboot into recovery (vol up+Home+power)
-Select install zip from ext SD card
-select 'root_SuperSU-*.zip' which you have copied to Ext card above
-Reboot device
-You can see superSU on appl drawer. open it and update.
-Now This will give you only SuperSU not busybox, though application which doesn't depends on system busybox will still works.e.g.Titanium Backup.
-To get full Root+busybox, Download Root_busybox *.zip
-Copy Root_busybox* only to Ext SD card
-Reboot into recovery, Select Install zip from Ext SD card. select Root_busybox* .zip and Flash.
-Done !
PS : If you can't see superSU after flashing above file(sometimes happen if there is too low space like in LQ3 ROM, then use this Root_superSU, followed by same above Root_busybox file.
Immediately after This I recommend to
1.Backup EFS
2.Flash any safe kernel with mobile Odin.
UnRoot :
Busybox uninstaller - Flash in recovery
Complete unroot (busybox+Superuser) - Flash in recovery
2. Short, easy - requires to reset counter
-Download Odin (.tar) version of custom kernel like Notecore, Speedmod, CF root kernel Or other any with same function. If newbies have confusion to select, here is one for example Notecore V12 std kernel. You can use this. But newer version can be found on link mentioned above.
-Flash it using PC odin for PDA tab.
-You will get exclamation mark and raised counter, which can be reset with Triangle Away
-First time opening triangle away application, it will ask to download file(flasher), let it complete. then choose to reset counter, it will restart in special recovery an finish job.
3. Long, No raised couter OR Exclamation mark
-Downgrade to Rootable GB ROM and Root it. OR Download This pre rooted GB ROM and flash using PC Odin
-Wipe cache, data and delvic cache from recovery
-Install Mobile Odin Pro
-Copy ICS ROM file in .tar (you want to flash) to Internal SD card (recommended, but you can have it on EXT too)
-Download Odin (.tar) version of custom kernel like Notecore, Speedmod, CF root kernel Or other any with same function. If newbies have confusion to select, here is one for example Notecore V12 std kernel. You can use this. But newer version can be found on link mentioned above.
-Open Mobile Odin Pro
-select open file
-Point to ROM file you have copied
(file name varies from image above, this is for demo purpose)
-All fiels will popup and feel automatically
-select kernel and point to custom kernel file you have copied
Tick 'Enable ever root' and 'Inject superuser(super SU) -(see image)
Flash.
Done!
First thing you should do after rooting is
-backup EFS folder ( you can use Ktool for that)
-to make some space (at least 15MB). You can safely remove google+, youtube and later install from market.
Now your device is full rooted, and use Titanium backup(or which you have used to backup) to restore
For Rooting on GB ROM, see post no 2 and 3.

How to Root/Unroot Older GB ROM + CWM
Rooting Older GB (Directly rootable) ROM
Now first thing someone newer like to know what is directly rootable and non rootable ROM
Directly rootable GB ROM is older release of ROM before Nov11, which can be root with zergrush exploit directly, without odin it (and so without exclamation mark and raising flash counter)
Which ROMs are directly rootable? and how do i know my ROM directly rootable or not?
Go to Settings -> About phone -> Kernel Version. Note the string present there: 2.6.35.7-N7000XXKJ4-CL641703 Here Red is your kernel version)
If it is one of below mentioned then proceed otherwise follow post #3
These are directly rootable ROM
If ROM having one of these kernels, then it is directly Rootable.
KJ1/KJ4/KJ6/KJ7/KJ8/KJA
KK1/KK2/KK3/KK4/KK5/KK6/KK9/KKA
KL1
KL3(few of KL3 only is directly rootable e.g. Indian KL3. so in case your KL3 cudn't get root with zergrush you should consider it as non directly rootable )
Rooting Procedure
Here procedure divided in two part
Part 1. For whom who just want to root device (you will have option to move to part two anytime)
Part 2. For those who want to Root + CWM (advance clockworkmode recovery, to use upgrade ROM / Nandroid backup restore) - Recommended
Part 1 : - Credit goes to DooMLoRD for his zirgrush exploit

Get root access on Newer GB ROM (non rootable directly)
Get root access on Newer GB ROM (non rootable directly)
Here as name suggest non rootable directly ROMs. guide is not for How to root it, but better we can term it, How to get root access on such newer ROM.
As i said if you ROM not having kernel as mentioned in previous post (#2), you have to consider your ROM as non rootable.
Available option to get root access on such ROMs
1. Flash Pre rooted ROM
As name suggest flashing This ROM with PC odin, you will have ready made Root + CWM. This ROM was modified by ChainFire (All credit goes to him only). And you can flash it using PC Odin without getting exclamation mark/raise flash counter.
Download :
http://d-h.st/HJM
Mirror
Installation method is same as flashing other rootable ROM described here
After flashing you will have Root + CWM
PS: This is first ever GB ROM, and you may notice some screen issue if your Note is newer, dont worry for that once you upate to newer ROM, this issue will go. You can now update to any newer GB ROM with keeping your root intact, mentioned in option 2 below.
2. Update Newer GB ROM using Mobile Odin / CWM
If you are currently on Rooted GB ROM, you can update to any newer GB (non rootable) ROM using PC Odin OR CWM with keeping your root intact.
Here is description available How to use Mobile Odin OR CWM to update newer ROM
After updating to newer ROM, you can flash CF root kernel from here
according to newer ROM kernel. And Flash it using Mobile Odin OR CWM.
I have Kernel KL7 - Download
I have kernel KL8 - Download
I have kernel LA1 - Download
I Have Kernel LA3 - Download
I have kernel LA4 - Download
I have kernel LA6 - Download
I have Kernel LB1 -Download
I have Kernel LC1 - Download

i can confirm, it works whit gt-n7000, kernel and binary counter untouched..

so here is the unrooting script to be USED ONLY AND ONLY IF U HAVE USED Easy Rooting Toolkit FOR ROOTING
[ WARNING ]
if u have used any other way/solution for rooting then PLEASE DO NOT RUN THIS... you MIGHT END UP with damaged system...
(thats cause some ppl create symlinks for busybox in /system/bin/ which wipes out stock symlinks to /system/bin/toolbox and breaks/damages system)
[ DISCLAIMER ]
I AM NOT TO BE HELD RESPONSIBLE IF U DAMAGE UR PHONE / SPILL UR COFFEE / MISS UR ALARMS / ANY OTHER CALAMITY/MISHAP
REMEMBER YOU ARE DOING THIS AT YOUR OWN RISK
now that the warning is clear (hopefully) lets get to unrooting
so here is the file.. (WINDOWS ONLY)
just download the attached file, extract it using winzip/winrar
go to the folder where its extracted and execute "RUNME-UNROOT.bat"
read and follow the instructions on the screen!

Method 2: Root + CWM recovery
Souce : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1331784
Big Thanx to ChainFire - Donate chainFire
Here simplified Rooting and CWM recovery for Galaxy Note N7000
- Download Root package, see at end of post
- There are three folder
1. Initial CFroot flasher
2. Two other folder having zImage file , you need one only
Which file do I use ?
Listen closely, for I will say zis only once!
Go to Settings -> About phone -> Kernel Version. Note the string present there:
2.6.35.7-N7000XXKJ4-CL641703
What matters most (KJ4) in this case, is in bold. Try to find the matching file
e.g. CF-Root-SGN_XX_XEN_KJ4-v5.0-CWM4.zip)
so choose accordingly
- Place the zImage file accordingly in folder 1.initial CFroot flasher /zImage folder
- Start "already-rooted.bat" and follow the instructions If you are Rooted already
OR
- Start "not-rooted-yet.bat" and follow the instructions.
Note : Just below this, where you download actual flash programme, that includes initial CF root as well i have already placed zimage accordingly.

edit 16Nov11 Simplified
-----------------------------------------Forget all Above and follow simple Step below------------------------------
Part Two : Final Procedure
1. I want just Root- Download This
Now Execute RunMe – follow screen instruction
(Note : Who are on Linux look to End of this post)
New method edit 19Feb12
If you fail to Root with aove method, You can try this
Keep you mobile debugging on, connect to PC and use tool mention above
2. I Want ROOT + CWM
I will do with PC (all credits goes to Chainfire for making Cf root kernel)
Which kernel You have?
(Go to Settings -> About phone -> Kernel Version. Note the string present there: 2.6.35.7-N7000XXKJ4-CL641703 Here Red is kernel version)
I have Kernel KJ1 - Download This– and Extract
I have Kernel KJ4 - Download This - and Extract
I Have Kernel KJ6/KJ7/KJ8 - Download this - and extract
I have Kernel KK1/KK2/KK3/KK4/KK5 - Download This - and Extract
I have Kernel KKA - Download This - and Extract
I have Kernel KK9 - Download This - and Extract
I have kernel KL3 - Download This - and Extract
I have Kernel KL1 - Download This - and Extract
Below mentioned are Non Rootable(to use for CWM only. You have to flash using Mobile odin), so you wont get Root from here, Read this thread, Post # 2 n 3
I have Kernel KL7 - Download
I have kernel KL8 - Download
I have kernel LA1 - Download
I Have Kernel LA3 - Download
I have kernel LA4 - Download
I have kernel LA6 - Download
I have Kernel LB1 -Download
I have Kernel LC1 - Download
NOW Ready to begin
I am Already Rooted - Execute "already-rooted.bat" and follow the instructions
I am Non-rooted - Execute "not-rooted-yet.bat" and follow the instructions.
OR
I will Go with Mobile Odin option (No PC needed)
After root with above mention method, Go to Market download this, Again Thnx to great ChainFire
https://market.android.com/details?...xLDEsImV1LmNoYWluZmlyZS5tb2JpbGVvZGluLnBybyJd
Now place CF root kernel to your Int/Ext memory, N flash with Mobile Odin Pro
Tip: Just to note that, who have to use root for application purpose e.g.Root explorer, titanium backup etc, they shud select 'I want just Root' option. these all application will work, as well stock recovery also will work like reset, wipe cache partition, wipe data
You shud only apply CWM, if really you are need to backup/restore firmware, regularly updating ROM, using ChainFire application(which need CF root)
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
CF Root ICS ROM
N7000XXLPY - CF-Root-SGN_XX_OXA_LPY-v5.3-CWM5.zip
Extract till zImage N flash Kernel using Mobile Odin Pro
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Now How I can revert back to Stock ROM/Unroot (In case of replacemet may i need)
I you have Just rooted only but not added CWM - Just Download this Extract - Execute - Rum Me unroot.bat
If You have Root + CWM - then first find out original stock kernel (zImage file)
Now place this file in zImage folder, n repeat procedure(Initial CFRoot Flasher), which you have done at time of pushing CWM by selecting I am rooted already
Now unroot with above said unrooting tool.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
When No Any other method works to Root your device, use this

Where can I get the ADB drivers for the samsung note?
It's not in the Google USB driver package of their SDK Manager.
And do I need to load the drivers on the CDC Serial or the Samsung_Android device?

If you have the Samsung Galaxy S2, then you are in the wrong forum.
You need to be here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=1055

I have not updated my signature yet, yes I own a GN.

I'm in!
Hi there,
Me too, I can confirm that the described rooting method is working fine!
At start I did have an issue with the CDC something driver wanting to be installed, but that can be solved by installing the KIES software for the phone, that can be downloaded from the Samsung website.
Regards,

Worked like a charm.... thanks!
Worked like a charm.... thanks!

Thanks for the tip. The KIES software from Samsung had the ADB driver that was needed.
And it worked very well.
You can Download KIES Here
It feels like doing startcraft on my phone. Haha.

Can you unroot it the same way?

2nd.... this would be good to know...

If you got stok ICS running and you got the unlocked booltoader and custom recovery running you can flash the patched boot.img (kernels from Flexreaper thread) for ICS bootloader users , they give you full root without any other proces except installing superuser app. No need to use the easy root tool then.
If you want to go back flash the stock boot.img back or restore it from a nandroid backup , remove the super user app and you are root less.

Android root fail - LG H440n Spirit 4G

Hi,
rooting my LG H440n Spirit 4G phone (Lolipop 5.0.1) has failed at the moment when "Firmware Update" notification showed up on the mobile phone screen (after rooting had started and rebooted once). It says on the phone screen that I should not unplug USB connection to my phone. But since rooting failed what should I do now?
Closing down command line with LG Root Script running did not stop Firmware Update and it is still displayed on my phone.
Is it safe to disconnect usb right now from my phone and try rooting my phone again?
Thank you very much for any advise and support.

I have the same problem I tried one click root 1.3 and the old script 1.2 android 5.0.1 v10f-EUR-XX. HELP US!

Updated to V10j-214-03 and cannot root
Hello.
Last Friday 23/10/2015 I updated my phone to V10j-214-03 and cannot root it again.
Anyone has updated and rooted this version?
Thank you very much!

Hello. I tried to see if we could use the Low Effort Root on our device. I made some progress, but I am unable to finish what I started because I am stuck[ somewhere.
What I did:
1. Extract the v10h kdz.
2. Get the v10h system.img and the file "PrimaryGPT_0.bin" from the extracted files.
3. Inject root into the v10h system.img: http://forum.xda-developers.com/g4/general/lg-g4-100-root-success-directives-root-t3180586
3. Rename the "PrimaryGPT_0.bin" into "gpt.img". Then go to ubuntu, open a terminal and run: "# sudo gdisk /path/of/gpt.img"
This gives us the partition info for our device: http://pastebin.com/u9maAAdm
This will help us determine the bs, seek and count when we will use the "Send_Command.exe" to push the v10h system to our device.
4. Based on @autoprime 's help, we have to do some calculations. http://pastebin.com/brcXBpja
[I think that he made a mistake though (missed to multiply by 512 on count). This seems more correct to me: http://pastebin.com/tHUbicR8 )
5. After calculating bs, seek and count, we are supposed to run the Low Effort Root procedure for our device.
But, after running the dd command, a "#" comes immediately, which means that something is going wrong. The "#" should take some time to appear, meaning that the copy is in progress. I couldn't identify what I am doing wrong, so I publish my effort, because maybe someone has more knowledge and may be able to make it work! @midzan21 maybe?
Autoprime, thanks for your help and guidance through irc.

This will help us determine the bs, seek and count when we will use the "Send_Command.exe" to push the v10h system to our device.
4. Based on @autoprime 's help, we have to do some calculations. http://pastebin.com/brcXBpja
[I think that he made a mistake though (missed to multiply by 512 on count). This seems more correct to me: http://pastebin.com/tHUbicR8 )
5. After calculating bs, seek and count, we are supposed to run the Low Effort Root procedure for our device.
But, after running the dd command, a "#" comes immediately, which means that something is going wrong. The "#" should take some time to appear, meaning that the copy is in progress. I couldn't identify what I am doing wrong, so I publish my effort, because maybe someone has more knowledge and may be able to make it work! @midzan21 maybe?
Autoprime, thanks for your help and guidance through irc.

Well that what you try to did we got for v10a ROM via Universal LG Root for Lollipop. There is something that you can look about commands. Unfortienatly I can't try anything for now, because I need fully working phone and fully working Arch Linux VM for some networking testings.

I think it's not the same. With Universal tool we ran a script that was stored on internal SD and this script pushed SuperSU.apk su.bin etc to the system. Now, we replace the whole System.img with a rooted one, and I think this is the point of Low Effort Root.

so here are some of calculations which I did on my Windows ... I think that somewhere calculation for count is weird because it get into floating data point (decimal numbers)
skip/seek = 51008
count = 314530.125
bs = 8192 (used that as default)
edit: calculated using this calculations for count
[(end sector - start sector +1)*Logical sector size] / bs
Logical sector size iz 512 b

Aha, I noticed this and I set the bs to 1024. Then, I made the calculations and they seemed normal. But I 'm not sure if changing the bs would mess up things. The thing is that, whatever I used as numbers, the command wouldn't run.

I mean like how will ur calculations help us to root our phones? Is there a way to root my LG spirit?

They can help us write a dd command correctly, so that we can send a rooted system.img in the correct partition of our device. So basically, if it worked, we would have had root on v10h now. But as I said, I am missing something.
