should i flash it. i dont have root
WOW! i cant believe no one has replied to you.
if you take a look at the first post with the topic
[ROM] Official AOSP 2.2 OTA
but you mentioned you dont have root. so try installing alogcat from the marketplace and capture the whole deal. then you can email directly from the app.
logcat isnt going to do much, it prefetches the files, need to pull the update.zip from adb
ok, so i havnt gotten the notice yet.
but need a bit of help prepping for when i do.
i have the android sdk installed on my desktop, and can create a virtual device etc...
but when i open the cmd prompt and try to run adb devices it says it is populating a list but i see no results or no file created.
so i tried just running adb logcat and it stops at waiting for device.
any pointers. im running win7x64 ultimate
well, i screwed it up. i removed the usb drivers and set it to debugging mode and got it working.
so i am able to run adb shell etc...
once i get the notice ill be ready to do an adb pull
adb shell
su
cd /cache/
ls
adb pull /cache/<package_name>.zip .

but how do you know the new radio and spl update name?
you should get that by running su then "cd /cache/ ; ls"
right now i have
download-1.apk
downloadfile.apk
recovery
lost+found
so after it is precached i run that "cd cache/ ; ls" i should have another file or two in there
that would be the file you run adb pull /cache/*.*
a tad bit of help, as a test i am trying to do
adb pull cache/downloadfile.apk d:\
but i get
remote object 'cache/downloadfile.apk' does not exist
i also tried adb pull /cache/downloadfile.apk d:\
and get the same.
edit:
tried doing a adb push
D:\android-sdk-windows\tools>adb push d:\test.txt /cache
failed to copy 'd:\test.txt' to '/cache/test.txt': Permission denied
so i dont have permission to put anything there, which means i likely dont have permission to pull from there
D:\android-sdk-windows\tools>adb pull /cache/downloadfile.apk d:\
remote object '/cache/downloadfile.apk' does not exist
so i opened another cmd prompt and and did an adb shell
su
and i am su
so while the other window was open and i was su i tried the same commands again and got the same results.
edit2:
D:\android-sdk-windows\tools>adb shell ls /cache
opendir failed, Permission denied
so it is definately a su/permissions issue.
Are you rooted? If not use Universal Androot.
*anticipation*

Here do this:
First if you have root, open up terminal or cmd prompt if you are on windows:
adb shell
su
mount -o rw,remount yaffs2 /cache
chmod 777 /cache
that will change the permissions allowing for read and write.
Now exit out of shell and just adb pull /cache/
That will pull everything out of the cache partition.
BAM!!! perfect!
i new it was permissions related. just couldnt figure out the "mount -o rw,remount yaffs2 /cache" part. might i ask you to break that down for me? at least the yaffs2 part.
thanks!
so once the update hits i am ready to grab the files.

So the YAFFS2 part of the code I put up there is designating the file system in which we are reading/writing.
YAFFS2 is the most popular and widely used format for flash memory.
please allow me.
yaffs2 is a filesystem type. /cache is of course the directory. -o is for option.
rw: read/write
remount: remount /cache again with new option.

Oh yeah and BTW, you can change the permissions back if you want after your done, otherwise I believe you can just reboot the phone and it fixes it, not entirely sure, I was trying to rewrite my default.prop to get adb remount to work with stock 1.6 rooted, but I am getting and access denied issue.
perfect was about to ask what the -o was but i tried mount --help and mount -h both resulted in nothing. then you reply sharpt71
thanks again all.
i am now ready to pull the update and upload once i get the update. hopefully soon!
Rather than the remounting and chmoding so you can adb pull.
You could probably get away with
Code:
su
cp /cache/<whatever> /sdcard
Then mount the SD card or put it in a card reader.

You probably could I just know that this is a sure fire way to grab everything in cache directly to the machine, otherwise if you aren't next to a machine you could probably do a copy like you said.
My 2nd update failed, do you guys think the files are still in my cache?
Hi everyone,
A few days ago I got the OTA 2.2.1 on my MT3G and then rooted it using the SuperOneClick tool. I was able to remove all useless apps, pushed others to /system/app with Root Explorer, etc., there is only one to do, and I am clueless: how to replace the stock Android System Recovery <3e> with a custom recovery image, so I can do Nandroid backups, flash .zip files, etc?
I used the ROM Manager app to flash Clockwork, got an "Installation successful" confirmation, but then on reboot into recovery mode my phone got stuck on the MT3G logo. I had to remove the battery, then in second attempt the phone booted into the <3e> image. Restarted again, opened the ROM Manager, according to it Clockwork was installed. Total craziness! Then I tried to flash it using Better Terminal Emulator (su, flash_image recovery /sdcard/Clockwork.img) but I got a "flash_image: not found" message, though I had the image on my sd card.
Any good ideas, folks?
All useful suggestions much appreciated, thanks!
They've been excluding flash_image from htc roms lately. What your gonna have to do is put flash image on your sdcard with the recovery.img. Then mount your sdcard and run the flash_image from your sdcard and flash the recovery image. After your done then you remove the installrecovery.sh from system/etc. That is what keeps installing the factory recovery when you reboot. I get home and onto a decent internet connection in a few hours and I'll upload some adb commands to help you do this.
make sure you have the recovery.img and flash_image on your sdcard
run these commands in adb
Code:
adb shell
su
mount -o remount,rw -t yaffs2 /dev/mtdblock3 /system
rm /system/etc/install-recovery.sh
cd sdcard
mount -o remount,exec /dev/block//vold/179:1 /sdcard
./flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery.img
exit
exit
It's kinda relative to the topic. I'm stuck on clockworkmod and would like to get back to stock recovery as the new HBOOT doesn't let me flash roms. Is there any way I can do so?
Look in my guide... all the files, steps and binaries are included...
Check out my signature!
Thanks, Asadullah. One more question: Are there different versions of flash_image for different android versions, because I saw in another forum a user complaining he/she didn't use the right binary.
Edit: I've extracted a flash_image binary from CM 6, hope it will work
Edit2: It worked, thanks a lot, man!
I think that flash_image from different devices is different someone correct me if I'm wrong. Glad it worked

I forgot to ask you one more question, don't want to open a new thread for this one, perhaps you can help again
I put the code you gave me through the terminal, since adb denied me of su permission. I installed the SDK, and after typing "adb devices" in cmd it saw the phone. "Adb shell" worked (saw the dollar sign), but then intead of getting the pound sign, su gave me "permission denied". But I get the permission when using the terminal. I also cannot see the phone directories when I open DroidExplorer, but otherwise it sees the phone and I get su permission when I use its command prompt. I thought there may be a problem with the root, but if there was, then how was I able to delete and push system apps and install the custom recovery? What do you think may cause the problem? Thanks.

I know it's been a while and you didn't get a reply, and while I found this thread because I too am having enormous trouble rooting this whatever it is cheap chinese android 2.2.1 momo 2 thing covered completely in chinese language apps that I simply cannot use even for the low price it cost me - I thought I'd offer an answer, most likely wrong, but one that may help the next person who may fall into your position.
adb root is an option to start the adb service in root mode, and I can only assume that means for the device.
As I have not been able to get this thing sorted, not knowing what it is really - no phone, no camera, no buttons on the case apart from power/sleep - Home/Esc which do nothing on booting apart from alert the PC to detect a new USB device, no market access, but otherwise exactly what I required - I dont know if it'll help.
But I hate threads left in a question, because I always find them. And this circle of frustration seriously should not be real, it just cannot be this damn hard to do something...
yikes!

Right guys,
Im trying to list the apk's in /data/app through adb so i can pull one of them!
I keep getting an error opendir failed permission denied!
BUT!!! I can get into /system/app fine with no problems.
Im running darkyy's 9.5 with his new kernel. Could this be a problem?
Its strange how i can get in system/app but not data/app
I have never had this problem in the past.

Either :
adb root
adb shell ls /data/app
or
adb shell
su
ls /data/app
Reason /system is accessible is because system is ro by default. So they allow you to browse it knowing u won't be able to do anything w/o root. Whereas /data is rw and hence they restrict you, unless you have root.
Fyi : Wrong section to ask questions.

Yes, but by default, if u dont run
adb root....ur not running the shell in root mode
Also on most roms if u run :
adb shel
u'll see $......
when u type su
u see #
So to enter # mode u need root but still need to execute either adb root or adb shell n then su.
Hope that clears it.

Maybe he's trying to learn how to navigate using adb. Very useful skillset to acquire imho.
But yes for general purpose, a gui is better.
the plot thickens...
Ill fill you guys in from the start in a short story..
Updated to darkyy v9.5 from v9.3
I thought the phone went a bit funny when it loaded the first boot as on the boot animation it vibrated like crazy and the animation started again as it was going to loop but then the phone loaded...
Been using the phone a few days and everything fine and wanted to pull an app from /data/app
All the above stuff happened and it wouldnt let me.
I thought something wasnt right so i took out the battery for a few minutes and put it back in and went into download mode and plugged my phone into computer to see of odin would still recognise it ok...
My windows vista computer started installing device drivers???? ive had this phone 7 months and plugged in about 100,000,000 times lol
Odin recognised my phone so i rebooted and tried again and now it works fine...
Something weird going on there which is concerning me with it installing new drivers...
This is what i get now and used to get before when i used adb...
Code:
C:\Users\Paul>cd c:\AndroidSDK\platform-tools
c:\AndroidSDK\platform-tools>adb shell ls /data/app

I know how to navigate with adb very well. I just couldnt figure out why i was being blocked from entering /data/app...
I even have a video tutorial in my sig that i made showing how to use adb and its commands...
Seems a quick battery pull did the trick although i still now dont know why new drivers where auto installed on reboot to my pc
So I just rooted a Glacier out of the box using VISIONary and gfree. Did everything exactly as was supposed to: temprooted, ran gfree, permrooted with "Set system r/w after root" checked, flashed engineering bootloader. Still running stock ROM.
Whenever I try to use adb remount, it fails saying "Operation not permitted." I want to use adb push to write to the file system, but I can't do that without the remount command.
I've tried using terminal emulator to copy a file from the sd card and failed:
Code:
$ su
# cd /sdcard
# cp -f hosts /system/etc
cp: cannot create '/system/etc/hosts':File exists
I've also tried outright deleting a file and failed:
Code:
# cd /system/etc
# rm hosts
rm failed for hosts, Read-only file system
I'm stupefied.

To be sure you could download a root explorer and see if you can mount R/W

Is there a free application that does this?
Unfortunately, I won't have access to it for the next few days (someone else's phone, and he's going out of town).
the stock rom doesn't except the remount command.
I believe that astro has the remount ability in it. You might want to consider flashing a custom rom though, even if its one of the stock based ones.

I see, thanks very much for the explanation. Is that also why the terminal commands didn't work? Does the stock ROM not allow r/w permissions even if you have superuser permission?
Since it's not my phone, I didn't flash a ROM, only ClockworkMod recovery 3.0.0.6. Next time I see him I'll ask whether he wants to do any firmware changes or not.

You can make the stock rom rw, but its a pain and I dont really remember the command. Its something like
Code:
mount -o,rw remount /dev/block/mmcblk0p25 /system
That may br right, but if not it wont do any damage. just give you a syntax error.

Hello, i have a problem with my TF101 (B70 if i'm right), ADB only work when i'm in recovery mode.
I lost root i don't know how and tried to regain it, but every rooting tools failled, i then discovered that commands wasn't working (even ls), but they do work in recovery mode (from /sbin).
When i try to flash a .zip from CWM , it seems that changes suposed to be applied to /system/bin aren't applied (SuperUser/SuperSU never find /system/bin/SU) but /system/bin/app correctly get updated.
I'd prefer to not wipe the device's data and repair it from it's current state if possible.

Hello, i have a problem with my TF101 (B70 if i'm right), ADB only work when i'm in recovery mode.
I lost root i don't know how and tried to regain it, but every rooting tools failled, i then discovered that commands wasn't working (even ls), but they do work in recovery mode (from /sbin).
When i try to flash a .zip from CWM , it seems that changes suposed to be applied to /system/bin aren't applied (SuperUser/SuperSU never find /system/bin/SU) but /system/bin/app correctly get updated.
I'd prefer to not wipe the device's data and repair it from it's current state if possible.

Go to the play store, download & install Goomanager, install TWRP. CWM seems to have a few issues with teh TF101's.
Hello, i have a CWM flashable TWRP recovery, i even tested it, but wasn't able to work with it, it was very slow and didn't found files i was looking for, i will regive it a try.
Edit : I have the exact same problem when flashing SuperSU from TeamWin recovery, everything act as i don't have SU, i can grant rights to anything i want it will still act as i don't have root, and SuperSU is unable to update it own binary at startup

Hi, your busybox installation seems corrupt (ie busybox binary is missing). You can reinstall busybox to /system/bin (do make sure that /system is mounted) from inside CWM and everything shall be fine. Your root su also seems to exist and should be fine.
If you can't do it in CWM then you can try and connect to the tablet in normal use mode and then run /system/bin/su and you should be root. Then you can install busybox manually ( you'll need to upload the busybox binary to /data/local/tmp or something) and run:
/system/bin/toolbox chmod 755 /data/local/tmp/busybox ( or if you're in CWM make sure /data is also mounted and then run: /sbin/chmod 755 /data/local/tmp/busybox )
/data/local/tmp/busybox --install /system/bin ( Please verify syntax ).
Good luck!

Hello, i cannot do anything if not under CWM (even ls gives a "not found" if not in CWM)
I tried /system/xbin/su and got a
"sh: /system/etc/mkshrc[8]: id: not found"
Rebooted in CWM and tried to install Busybox
i mounted /system /data and /sdcard
i created the folder /data/local/temp
cp /sdcard/busybox /data/local/temp
applied /sbin/chmod 755 to /data/local/temp/busybox
ran /data/local/temp/busybox --install /system/bin and got a "Invalid cross-device link" error on every commands busybox tried to install
http://pastebin.com/g3DMHbJz
Tried to install it on /system/xbin too, but same error
Note : When i use /system/xbin/su in CWM, it change name to [email protected] from ~# while it doesn't in normal mode
Edit : Titanium backup rework :
In CWM, i copied busybox to /system/bin, and i installed it to /system/bin from /system/bin
cp /data/local/temp/busybox /system/bin
/system/bin/busybox --install /system/bin
I'm now checking if only Titanium backup works or if everything else too
Thanks for your help, i don't know if it's done yet, but i made a progress using your information !
Edit 2 : Seems everything works, please send me a private message to talk about candies and chocolat

Good to see everything works. Give the candy to some children in the neighborhood mate, I'm watching the calories
