Hi,
i post here, because i dont have access to the dev part (10 posts limit maybe).
For the french guys, i have the working files for the hw keyboard.
I'll post them when i get up !
Edit : This is a simple zip file , dont use it with recovery mode !!!!!
Instructions :
unzip file, connect to the phone in adb shell , make /system rw , put the file in /system/usr/keychars (.bin) and /system/usr/keylayout (.kl) . Make the symbolic links to the scholes file. reboot !
I'll test with a more simple(generic) solution.
It's not possible to have an apk?
Nice pat972 I test it now !!
can you explain " Make the symbolic links to the scholes file" please ? (In french toooo )
Ok , let me know if you have a problem with the menu key ! i'll correct it !
For the symbolic links : when you are in the directory , you can do a "ls -l" , you'll see a file pointing to another one, originally pointing to something with "jordan".
you have to do "ln -s /system/usr/keylayout/file.kl sholes-keypad.kl".
No , i don't know how to do apk files !
Thanks for your answer but this don't work.. I have run the folowing command :
>adb remount
remount succeeded
>adb shell
# mount -o rw,remount -t ext3 /dev/block/mmcblk1p21 /system
# cp /mnt/sdcard/a/umts_milestone2-keypad.kcm.bin /system/usr/keychars
# cp /mnt/sdcard/a/umts_milestone2-keypad.kl /system/usr/keylayout
# cd /system/usr/keychars/
# ln -s /system/usr/keylayout/umts_milestone2-keypad.kl sholes-keypad.kl
# mount -o ro,remount -t ext3 /dev/block/mmcblk1p21 /system
# exit
exit
>adb reboot
It's good? or I do a mistake ?
Ok it 's good , but you mix all the symbolic and directories !
so here it is :
# cd /system/usr/keychars/
# ln -s /system/usr/keychars/umts_milestone2-keypad.kcm.bin sholes-keypad.kcm.bin
# cd ../keylayout/
# ln -s /system/usr/keylayout/umts_milestone2-keypad.kl sholes-keypad.kl

Sorry for this BIG mistake ... but this don't work too....... I think because I do this mistake ! So I come back tomorrow to do new test
Thanks for help!

Oups it's me, bad bad , sorry i copy paste your line, but there is a mistake in it again !
For the bin file, it is , keychars directory :
# ln -s /system/usr/keychars/umts_milestone2-keypad.kcm.bin sholes-keypad.kcm.bin
then you do a "ls -l" to verify the symlink in each directory :
# ls -l
-rw-r--r-- root root 896 2011-08-24 06:26 umts_milestone2-keypad.kcm.bin
-rw-r--r-- root root 896 2011-07-12 22:00 qwerty2.kcm.bin
-rw-r--r-- root root 896 2011-07-12 22:00 qwerty.kcm.bin
lrwxrwxrwx root root 2011-08-24 05:13 sholes-keypad.kcm.bin -> /system/usr/keychars/umts_milestone2-keypad.kcm.bin
You see that the sholes file point the umts one in the keychars directory not the keylayout !
In fact, this is the problem but when I do this commande line, the result is :
"Link failed file exist"
What I must delete ?
You must delete:
/system/usr/keychars/umts_milestone2-keypad.kcm.bin
so do a
Code:
rm /system/usr/keychars/umts_milestone2-keypad.kcm.bin
Thanks for your answer, but always the same message ...
I have delete "sholes-keypad.kcm.bin" after and can finish all code line but don't work............. I test to restore ROM and restart this
Edit : Now it's work, so the commande line are (if you have put the 2 files on the "a" folder in the SDcard ) :
Code:
>adb shell
# mount -o rw,remount -t ext3 /dev/block/mmcblk1p21 /system
# cp /mnt/sdcard/a/umts_milestone2-keypad.kcm.bin /system/usr/keychars
# cp /mnt/sdcard/a/umts_milestone2-keypad.kl /system/usr/keylayout
# cd /system/usr/keychars/
# rm sholes-keypad.kcm.bin
# ln -s /system/usr/keychars/umts_milestone2-keypad.kcm.bin sholes-keypad.kcm.bin
# cd /system/usr/keylayout/
# rm sholes-keypad.kl
# ln -s /system/usr/keylayout/umts_milestone2-keypad.kl sholes-keypad.kl
# mount -o ro,remount -t ext3 /dev/block/mmcblk1p21 /system
# exit
>adb reboot
Hi, did someone test this. If you select different country (like german) did the hardware keyboard also switch?
Hi, no i did not, but i would say no ! I have an idea , but i need to test it ! I'll change the bin file and let you know! While im here, it just test your new bluremail.apk and it doesnt seems to work with classic mail ! Said no connection.
Sent from my MotoA953 using XDA App
@walter79 : Yes I have test to change country, but nothing change !
@pat972 : all the "alt" are not good ! (numbers, etc...)
@alex could you do a "ls -l" in each directory and post it here !
@walter : I do some quick test, what appears to me is that my keyboard is always in azerty no matter what locale i put in build.prop or when i change the language setting in the menu.
I also replace my modified keychars by the froyo one, and the keyboard is again in azerty. They are minor differences , more particularly the froyo keychars mix azerty and qwerty layout !
what i think is that the language menu don't change the hw.keyboard layout
I can't see in "cd /system/usr/keychars/" the "Shole.....bin" ....

# cd /system/usr/keylayout

So , your problem is you don't have the link in the keychars ! so do it , it must look like my previous post (quote) .
# ln -s /system/usr/keychars/umts_milestone2-keypad.kcm.bin sholes-keypad.kcm.bin
and do a ls -l to verify it !
All works now ! Sorry ...but I don't understand why the 1rst time this command line don't work....pearhap's can't do the 2 files in the same time (reboot between) ???
Thanks for your help !
Here's the scenario;

Any time related busybox command is reporting UTC instead of local time. Is there some way to get busybox to report local time (EDT in this case) as well?
So this thread is marked as solved but I can't see the solution?
Does anyone know how to output local time in terminal?
Hi, I just upgraded to OxygenOS 3, I did a full wipe (including Internal Storage), and then moved back, via adb push, some folders from my apps to the /sdcard. Now there are some folders that I just can't write to them at all, not even as root. see below:
Code:
[email protected]:/storage/self/primary/tmpFolder # pwd
/storage/self/primary/tmpFolder
[email protected]:/storage/self/primary/tmpFolder # ls -l
drwxrwx--x root sdcard_rw 2016-04-09 22:24 MyFolder
[email protected]:/storage/self/primary/tmpFolder # ls -l MyFolder/ |grep 201615
drwxrwx--x root sdcard_rw 2016-04-08 21:11 201615
[email protected]:/storage/self/primary/tmpFolder # touch test
[email protected]:/storage/self/primary/tmpFolder # touch MyFolder/test
[email protected]:/storage/self/primary/tmpFolder # touch MyFolder/201615/test
touch: 'MyFolder/201615/test': Permission denied
1|[email protected]:/storage/self/primary/tmpFolder #
Notice that I have tmpFolder and then MyFolder, to which I can write without any problems, but I have a tmpFolder/MyFolder/201615/ tthat I cannot write at all. Also notice the permissions, I have the same permissions for all folders, `drwxrwx--x root sdcard_rw`.
Bump! Anyone?
Hi,
A little while back, my Z00T stopped booting (would bootloop shortly after the splash screen). Even with stock.
Looks like logcat line 187 is kicking my butt.
I can get in TWRP with no issue, so I have been tracking down the problem from there, and now suspect a corrupt /firmware partition (or a few files within).
Can a Z00T owner with the MM bootloader (preferably June 2nd 2016 update, can verify with first command below), go into TWRP, mount the firmware partition (under Mounts) and run the following two commands?:
Code:
~ # ls -l /firmware/image/keymaste.*
__bionic_open_tzdata: couldn't find any tzdata when looking for localtime!
__bionic_open_tzdata: couldn't find any tzdata when looking for GMT!
__bionic_open_tzdata: couldn't find any tzdata when looking for posixrules!

I will probably need a new firmware partition, and hope my internal SD is not dying.
If noone knows where I can find an official one, you can make one by first verifying the partition number (should be 41):
Code:
adb shell cat /proc/mounts | grep firmware
Then make an image copy to file with dd* to the external sd (using partition 41), download to PC:
Code:
adb shell dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p41 of=/sdcard1/firmware.img
adb pull /sdcard1/firmware.img
* Issue the command verbatim, or don't issue at all if not familiar with dd. If used incorrectly, dd can do some serious damage. Been there, done that, always check your work.
This will help me out in continuing to use this device for development purposes.

Well then...that blows that out of the water - the hashes match even with a different model num and OTA date.
Unless the partition is only readable under certain circumstances (system boot not being one of them but TWRP seems more forgiving), then I will need a replacement ZE551KL firmware.img. If it is still something else, I will then be unsure how to proceed since this is a problem across multiple boot.img's so it's not a kernel or ramdisk issue yet still prevents /vendor from getting set up before /vendor symlinks to /system/vendor.

Hello,
I am trying to install USB host-mode on my rooted nook simple touch so that I can use a keyboard or a mouse as a page turner. I am running 1.2.1, and rooted the nook using nook manager https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2040351. This completed successfully. Then I installed a terminal app (can't find the link but it's called jackpal.androidterm.apk, can attach if needed) by putting it on a micro sd card and installing the file using relaunch (a file explorer app that appeared after rooting). Then I followed the instructions on https://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/BN_Nook_Simple_Touch/Replacing_boot_files writing
su
mount -o rw,remount rootfs /
mkdir /boot
mount -t vfat /dev/block/mmcblk0p1 /boot
into the terminal app. It asked for permissions after su, which I granted and the other lines produced no errors but also no outputs. Now I am trying to find the /boot partition to replace uImage, as per the instructions, but I can't find /boot. It appears nowhere in the file explorer, and under advanced functions, the nook lists the following disks/partitions: /rom, /system, /data, /cache, /sdcard, /media, but no /boot
Any ideas? Really unsure as to why it's not showing up, because the commands that are supposed to create it seemed to complete without issue.
p.s. I also checked show hidden files in folders in the advanced settings
I dunno. Your "File Explorer" may be leading you astray.
Just do an ls -l in terminal and check.
ls -l produces:

drwx------ root root 2012-12-07 14:34 root

Further, I tried to copy uImage into /boot using the terminal and it acted as if /boot didn't exist, so I'm pretty sure that it isn't there for some reason.
Thanks
Well, something you're doing isn't working.
The commands are correct.
Code:
su
Did this work? Do you get a # prompt? Type "id", does it say you're root?
Code:
mount -o rw,remount rootfs /
Ok, did it remount? Type "mount" and see if rootfs is actually "rw".
Code:
mkdir /boot
Apparently this didn't work because you should see an empty directory at least.
Code:
mount -t vfat /dev/block/mmcblk0p1 /boot
Apparently this didn't work.
Did this work? Do you get a # prompt? Type "id", does it say you're root?
su produces a # prompt, and id produces: uid=0(root) gid=0(root), so i think this part worked.
Ok, did it remount? Type "mount" and see if rootfs is actually "rw".
mount produces: rootfs / rootfs rw 0 0, and then a bunch of other stuff, so i think this worked too.
mkdir /boot
this produces nothing, just another # prompt, so this might be the problem
mount -t vfat /dev/block/mmcblk0p1 /boot
this also produces nothing, just another # prompt.
Any idea why mkdir /boot would fail?
Thanks for being so helpful!
Well, the mkdir should have created an empty directory.
You should be able to "ls -l /" it.
If not, you could mkdir and mount anywhere.
Code:
cd /data/local/tmp
mkdir mybooty
mount -t vfat /dev/block/mmcblk0p1 /data/local/tmp/mybooty
There's nothing special about the name "boot".
Okay,
That solved the problem. Thanks for all your help!
