[Q] Some system maps

Hi Every body,
In quit new in Android.
I just finaly rooted en S-Off my Desire.
Now I want to copy a file in to a system map, but I cant safe in that map.
Is there a way that I can Chmod the right, so I can Copy too their.

Check the file system you're trying to copy to, it might well be mounted as read-only. If you have permanent root you should be able to remount it as read/write.

You need to mount /system as read/write :
Code:
mount -o remount,rw /system
Make your changes, then when you're done :
Code:
mount -o remount,ro /system

No, you need to remount the /system file system (/system/media/audio/notifications) is just a directory within that file system.
Then go into that directory and make any changes that you need to. Then remount it as read-only when you're done.

Check your steps again. I just created a new file in that directory fine.
Did the su work ?
You're not typing that "#" symbol, are you ? That's the command prompt when you're root.

The problem is ES File Explorer isn't running as the root user. So you can do a "chmod 777 /system/media/audio/notifications" then it will work.

Are you not comfortable doing it via the command line ? There is an "experimental" option within ES File Explorer to let it run as root, but I just tried it, and it doesn't work on the stock ROM.
I checked and it looks like one of the other main explorers, Astro, doesn't work as root either.
Maybe try the Root Explorer app (hmm, though I see you have to pay for it) ? Anyone else have recommendations ?

If you are willing to pay for the "Root Explorer" app, which you will find on the Android market, then that should do what you want (i.e. give you a file explorer app that will work as root).

Can't open xRecovery

Hey
I've tried to install xrecovery, and done what this video says: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O6eRfqs8TVs but when i reboot, it won't work. Nothing happends when i press the bkac button alot.
If it is some files, causing this, then please send me yours, so i don't have to ask for them, when you have answered

It happens to me to at the first time, all you have to do is delete the files and paste them again.. xD if still didn't work, i'll post my files here so you can tried..

I have tried now, but it won't work. I would be glad if you posted your files :b

Have you set the right permissions for the files?
All files needs to be writeable. The easiest way to set the write permissions is to use root explorer.
Or if using terminal emulator: Chmod each file to: 777

After a lot of trying this worked for me:
1. Download xRecovery from here.
2. Copy three files to sdcard - xrecovery.tar, busybox, chargemon
3. Just in case, get Busybox from Market and install it.
4. Copy three files from sdcard to /system/bin - don't forget to mount system as r/w (you can do it with Root Explorer by simply clicking "mount r/w" button)
5. Chmod all three files to 777 - with Root Explorer, open context menu for file and select "Permissions" and make sure all 9 boxes are ticked. Or, use adb shell.
6. Turn off your phone normally.
7. Turn on and keep pressing back button, now you should enter xRecovery.

If you read the whole thread, then you would know, that it is the same that blagus said. And as i said, i did all that he said.

Use this files.. If didn't work, I don't know what to say, can't understand your problem..

Now i got to know that i should download these same three files three times. again - it do not work.

Here did you pasted those files? Didn't you already having xrecovery running well, before you reflash your phone?

Now you get the story:
First of all, i tried in hours to get xRecovery work on my phone. Then succesfully, in some unknown way, i made it work.
Then i screwed up, and deleted the bin, so my phone wouldn't turn on.
Then i had to use SEUS to get my phone work, and I did that succesfully. But it was only 2.1 now.
Now i want 2.2 again, but can't make xRecovery work.

Weee it works now D I have no idea what I did diffrent this time, but it works now D thank you all for taking time, to help me ;b

And you're using 2.1 android, right? Is it rooted? If yes, all you have too do (and before that, delete the old files that you already pasted, except busybox..):
-put the files on your sdcard root;
-go to root explorer and to the sdcard folder;
- forget it busybox, just copy the other files;
- go to system/bin and then select the W/R option;
- then just paste them e restart your phone..
Then press a few times the back key, right after SE logo apears.. If you did't get anything, go again to the bin folder with root explorer and see if was created a folder with the xrecovery name.. If yes, just try again pressing back key until you get xrecovery menu..

you're going to need to mount the system first. I believe it's adb shell -> su -> then something. Can't remember now.

Unable To Turn on Wi-Fi

I'm having an issue with wi-fi. I'm running Andromadus Audacity 2. Yesterday I ran into an issue where my phone was randomly rebooting. I decided to reflash the rom and when I did so I could no longer connect to Wi-Fi. I can turn Wi-Fi on but it will immediately turn back off. In settings it will only say turning wi-fi on and hang up there.
I don't think that the issue is the router since my wife's G2 and other devices we have in the house still work fine on wi-fi.
Also it's not the rom because I have superwiped and reinstalled, then tried installing cm7, and ilwt. The issue persists on each rom. I have superwiped each time before installing.
I am really at a loss for what to do, I didn't change any settings on the phone and regardless, I don't know what I could have changed that would have carried over through flashing a new rom. I would appreciate any ideas on what to do.
ETA - I have changed the radio and the kernel and still no luck.

When you say off do you mean it was absent?
When I got to /etc/wifi/ there is a file named wpa_supplicant.conf, it is the only file in the folder
the text file says:
update_config=1
ctrl_interface=wlan0
eapol_version=1
ap_scan=1

Sorry my English is not as great as I wished it would be, this is what happens when I try to use "slang". When I say off I mean not correct. That is the correct file "wpa_supplicant.conf"
/etc/wifi/wpa_supplicant.conf --> needs rw-r--r--
/system/bin/wpa_supplicant --> needs rwxr-xr-x
I just checked my files and they are both owned by root and all works well so I guess its not an issue that wifi does not own them.

Not sure if this helps but this is what's under my /etc/wifi/wpa_supplicant.conf file

Notice my ctrl_interface=eth0 (thats a zero) I'd test that out see if it fixes it, if not then I'd download another rom and extract both /etc/wifi/wpa_supplicant.conf and /system/bin/wpa_supplicant files from it and replace yours. Again verify permissions are correct.

Hey I'm on lunch now, in that file it says for ctrl_interface=wlan0. I am using es file explorer, it won't let me change it there but I think I read somewhere I can create a text file saying what I want it to and place it in the folder. Not sure if that will work.
As for the other roms, wifi doesn't work on any rom that I use.

You can replace the file using a terminal emulator here are the steps
Open terminal emulator and log in as super user by typing the following
su
Make the System Partition have read/write access by typing the following
mount -o rw,remount -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system
Now you can modify the file using es file explorer
When complete make the system partition read only by doing the following
mount -o ro,remount -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system
You can also copy and replace the file using adb, not sure how familiar you are with that but the above should work.

Hmmm, I went into terminal emulator and did just as you said. This is what it says after I pasted in what you wrote to give me read/write access:
Usage: mount [-r] [-w] [-o options] [-t type] device directory
After I did that it still won't let me change that file.

Sorry you are correct that command only works in adb do this instead of the above command
mount -o remount,rw /system
then when you are done do this instead of the other read only command
mount -o remount,r /system

Thanks I will try it, but I'm becoming more convinced this is a hardware issue.
I was on the phone today and the phone froze and I had to pull the battery. When I restarted the phone Wi-Fi was working for the first time in a week. While it was working I checked that file and it said the same exact thing. The phone then froze again (I think it was my fault because in the excitement of having Wi-Fi again I tried to update all of my apps and other things I can't do on the crappy 2g data I have at home) when I turned it back on Wi-Fi was no longer working.
So now I'm thinking that this has to be hardware. I will give your method a try.

Yea I think you are correct especially since you tried different roms. If you have warranty just unroot it and return it else keep posting here about the status and a will find a work around eventually

Well I finally switched back to ilwt and my wifi isn't working all of the time but it has worked for a few hours each day since I flashed it. Whereas on andromadus it didn't work at all for two months. Still haven't figured out what happened but at least I get to keep my G2. Although I'll probably move on the first time they put the note on sale later this year. Thanks aeliizondo for trying to help me!

[Q] MAC Address Keeps changing

Everything was good until I started messing with the 4.4 roms. Now no matter what I do. Full Wipe, Factory Image restore, try different Roms/Kernels, etc, my MAC Address will reset after every reboot. This is an issues as I use Mac Filtering on my router. Any Ideas?

The same is happening to me and I can't find a way to fix it!
It sucks because my main connection (my University wifi) doesn't let me connect if I have a different MAC Address.
I'm using this app to change my MAC (temporarily) https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.jworksbr.macspoofer
You need root to make it works.
Anyway, I'm still trying to find a way to get my original MAC address back.

For mac address:
- In /persist directory create wifi directory. In the new directory create a file named .macaddr (don't miss the dot!)
Edit the file and put 12 random hex numbers in it (0-9, A-F), save.
- Set execute and read permissions for everybody on /persist/wifi directory and change owner of .macaddr to wifi:wifi and permission to 660 (read/write for owner and group and nothing else).
In command line:
Code:
chown root:root /persist/wifi
chmod 755 /persist/wifi
chown wifi:wifi /persist/wifi/.macaddr
chmod 660 /persist/wifi/.macaddr
- run /system/bin/conn_init program. Can be run in root explorer(choose Linux Script Handler when you open it), or in adb shell:
Code:

Then reboot and check if the changes got applied in settings
I cant get my original one back but at least I have a static MAC.

i came from your link too but this didn't work for me

anyone know why?
Hi. This has been driving me crazy! My Nexus 4 also gets a new Mac address on each reboot. My local WiFi hotspot thinks i am a new customer every time I visit (as it uses Mac address filtering) which is frustrating. I got onto Google about it but they said i should return the phone to the retailer (didn't get it on the Play store). I tried reverting the phone to Android 4.3, resetting etc but nothing works. I the phone was fine at first so I can only assume it is a hardware fault. Does anyone have any more incite into this or a solution?

Could someone explain how I run the commands in an adb shell? I'm familiar with adb and android toolkit etc. Many thanks! PS. I tried it using root explorer and it did not work

Where is the /persist directory found? Does this work on unrooted phones? I have the Chinese S5 phone which changed Mac address every time I reboot or turn off and on the wifi. This has me logging in to my router to add a new mac every time.

You DO need to be rooted

Hello, you need not only root access, but a file manager capable of mounting read-write permissions, like ES File Explorer (free on Google Play).
If you have a Terminal Emulator, this will help. If not, find one on the Play Store. My favorite is from developer Jack Palevich, found here.
Otherwise, you won't see the directory on a stock file manager, especially if you're NOT rooted. Although I am on CM 10.2, this has plagued me as well when I was running CM11.
Good luck!

First of all, do you have Superuser-managed root access? In order for me to assist, you need to answer that. The /persist directory should certainly exist, as it was so on all devices I own, rooted or not. When browsing the filesystem, please be careful what you mess with. Even with root access, you must exercise judgment in what you modify.
As always, Root Responsibly.
Stay custom, my friends...

lost all permissions after messing with platform.xml

Hello,
I have SM-N9005 variant and recently I updated to the latest android 4.4.2 leaked version with Odin, and then rooted with CF-Auto-Root.
After that, I lost the permission to write to external sdcard.
I searched and found this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=49603814
I backed up /system/etc/permissions/platform.xml and then I followed the instructions there.
After restart, a lot of app stopping messages showed and I had no access to file system or network anymore.
I used adb shell to restore the original platform.xml but it didn't helped in any way.
It seems that all mounts and networks are working, but none of the applications has permission to use any of them.
How do I resolve this, without wiping all my data?
Thank you!

You need to set the correct permissions on the .xml after you overwrite it back into the /system Off the top of my head I can't think what they are (just out of bed and got to work so still sleepy!)

rw-r-r which is 644 - read wrong
or chmod 666 -- forgive my lack of memory, it has been a long time since I have used chmod commands, few years since my glFTPD / site modding days.

i dont know if it helps in your situation but did you try the "fix permissions" from a custom recovery like twrp?
there are also scripts you can execute in a terminal, the knoxout script linked in my sig for example has a permission fixer included.

Thank you.
When i run this, no matter what are the parameters, for example: sh kn0x0ut.sh kn0x0ut
it says:
ERROR: Unknown parameter ""
Removing all temp folder /data/media/kn0x0ut_temp...

just type sh kn0x0ut.sh to get all commands.
if you dont get this working, you can do it from twrp (i think cwm too)if you have it.
tap on "advanced" and then on "fix permissions".
