Ok people I'm pathetic.... I rooted using visionary installed titanium backup pro, astro, terminal emulator. I downloaded the root.rar files and put them onto the sd card. Unhooked my phone opened terminal typed su+enter but when I tried the sec command it wouldn't work I then went back into astro and h_boot and wpx are white in color and when I press on one of them it says file type ko not found. Can someone please please help me!!!! Do I have to have adb installed in order for the root.rar files to be found . Thank u very m much in advance. And if this is not the correct place to post this at let me know and I will move it thank u
Check out mackesters channel on YouTube he's got a good tutorial
Hey, you probably done all this... But thought I'd give a crack at it...
When trying to root using visionary
Quickly check these:
-did you have fastboot from >settings>applications turned off?
-was Set system r/w after root from visionary app checked?
-Temproot first
-Attempt permroot next
-Phone should reboot and you should see Super User app in the drawer.
Then follow the instructions here
If you wish to use root explorer to push the gfree file to /data/local you can do so too, its easier than adb commands.
Hope this helps. Good luck man.
Please post questions in the Q&A section.
Use root file explorer not Astro, check my signature. Also you said you downloaded the root.rar and placed it on sd, did you unzip it first?
Fastboot was off rw on. I don't know if I unzipped root.rar or not all I did was download it right click on it extracted to F drive moved to sd and in terminal is said not found our something when I entered the sec command.i did a factory reset so I'm starting fresh. What did I do wrong ? Thank u awesome people in advance
You sure you put the right file? Coz there are two gfree files...

This depends on the thread your following, he is referring to ULTIMATE S OFF
And extract is the same thing as unzip.

I guess I used the right one but it says ko file not found or sh file not found etc so I don't know what I'm doing wrong its driving me insane it shouldn't be this hard. Thanks for everyone help I'm still trying and will not give up lol
Are you doing this in the phone or thru a pc via adb? If adb also copy the files from root.rar to sdk/tools then adb will see them

take everything that is in exploits.zip and move it to your android sdk directory specifically the location of adb.exe (will either be in platform-tools or tools) as for the two RUUs, they can be anywhere but you will have to move them at one point to your SD card. That is about it

Things you need:
Base firmware (i'm use Gingerbread S5830SERKPH 2.3.4)
Windows (I'm use windows 7 X64 service pack 1)
Linux (Ubuntu recommended)
And the last thing is, You need enough experience in android world
step-step :
Flash your phone with your desired base firmware.
Make required modifications at your phone.
After that, do hard reset to your phone.
Next back up system.rfs .
put system.rfs with boot.img, data.rfs, recovery.img from PDA base firmware in one folder.
After that, repack your custom rom.
what should we do to modify it :
Remove useless widgets
Add more apps
Change theme
How to back up System.rfs :
Download at market "terminal emulator"
next run this code:
Code:
su
dd if=/dev/stl12 of=/sdcard/system.rfs
How to hard reset your phone :
Move by root explorer your modification apps to system/app then change permission like this :
Code:
User:Read, Write
group:Read
Others:Read
Next change the owner to "root" by root explorer
At least boot into recovery mode "HOME+POWER" and choose "wipe data/factory reset" be sure your contact data already backup
How to repack your custom rom :
PDA by running this code via terminal at linux:
Code:
tar -H ustar -c boot.img recovery.img data.rfs system.rfs >> ROMNAME.tar
md5sum -t ROMNAME.tar >> ROMNAME.tar
mv ROMNAME.tar ROMNAME.tar.md5
change ROMNAME to your desired, of course, ROM name.
If you want to build One-Package ROM, just use 1st and 2nd command and don't forget to include all files on all *.tar.md5 (such as modem, csc, apboot) like this :
Code:
tar -H ustar -c *.* >> ROMNAME.tar
md5sum -t ROMNAME.tar >> ROMNAME.tar
How to change your rom name :
At root explorer you see at folder system "build.prop"
Open it in text editor edit "ro.build.display.id=GINGERBREAD.XXKPH" with your rom name
Another Handy Modification Guide:
How to edit system.rfs on your Pc :
importan : if you want to edit system.rfs at windows, DON'T use Magic Iso, why? because i was use it, then my system.rfs corrupt.
you must have linux (ubuntu recommended)
run it from terminal :
Code:
sudo mount -o loop system.rfs /some_dir
make required modification
then Unmount it
How to Unpacking & repacking the image :
Note: below I give you the details for unpacking and repacking manually, but I have attached two perl scripts that do most of this for you
If you are good with a hex editor, you can open up any of these images and strip off the first 2k of data. Then, look for a bunch of zeroes followed by the hex 1F 8B (which is the magic number of a gzip file). Copy everything from the first line of the file, through the zeroes, and stopping at the 1F 8B. That is the kernel. Everything from the 1F 8B through the end is the ramdisk. You could save each of these files separately. In order to see the contents of the ramdisk, you need to un-gzip it and then un-cpio it. You could use a command like this (ideally after creating a new directory and cd'ing into it):
Code:
gunzip -c ../your-ramdisk-file | cpio -i
That will place all of the files from the ramdisk in your working directory. You can now edit them.
In order to re-create the ramdisk, you need to re-cpio them and re-gzip those files, with a command like the following (remember, cpio will include everything in the current working directory, so you probably want to remove any other cruft you might have in there):
Code:
find . | cpio -o -H newc | gzip > ../newramdisk.cpio.gz
The final step is to combine the kernel and your new ramdisk into the full image, using the mkbootimg program (which you should download and compile from the git repository):
Code:
mkbootimg --cmdline 'no_console_suspend=1 console=null' --kernel your-kernel-file --ramdisk newramdisk.cpio.gz -o mynewimage.img
Now, there's a lot of hassle in pulling apart files in hex editors and remembering all of these commands, so I wrote unpack and repack perl scripts for you (attached). Hooray.
How to Manually deodex your phone :
What you'll need:
xUltimate v2.2
Unzip xUltimate v2.2, and launch "Main.exe"
If everything goes well xUlt should recognize the phone and make a connection. You now should see a list of options.
Run option 1. After option 1 is done, run option 2.
Now these well take a while. Run option 3.
IMPORTANT: After you have run option 3, you MUST navigate to the xUltimate folder and find "origi_frame" folder, and delete "guava.odex". It's a bad file, and interferes with deodexing process.
Now run option 4, and wait.
Exit xUltimate, and put the phone in USB mass storage.
Go back into the xUltimate folder and copy "done_frame", and "done_app", and move them to the root of the sdcard.
Put the phone in PC mode
Open a command prompt, and do the following:
Code:
adb shell
su
stop
mount -o rw,remount -t ext3 /dev/block/mmcblk1p21 /system
cp /sdcard/done_app/* /system/app/
cp /sdcard/done_frame/* /system/framework/
rm /system/app/*.odex
rm /system/framework/*.odex
mount -o ro,remount -t ext3 /dev/block/mmcblk1p21 /system
reboot
Your phone should now be deodexed!
You may notice an increase in speed, and you now have the ability to edit certain files with greater effects.
How to change bootanimation :
using a Root explorer goto the /system/media directory.
Copy bootanimation.zip to your SD Card.
Connect your droid to your computer with usb and mount the SD Card
Copy bootanimation.zip to your computer.
extract bootanimation.zip to a folder
Inside you will find 2 folders with all the individual PNG files in them.
With photoshop or paint modify the png files to add your custom graphics, OR make/download your own pictures. (Make sure they are match with your phone device)
Highlight the two folders and the desc file.
Right click the highlighted files.
Select add files to archive.
Select Zip check box
In the compression method drop down box select Store. (this is key if you dont do this it wont play the animation)
save the archive as bootanimation.zip
copy the new bootanimation.zip to your SD Card
Select the bootanimation.zip file from your SD Card and move it... system>media>paste

Alright, so I've been following threads on native Ubuntu and other Linux on Iconia A500, and they all seem to be aimed at experienced developers and veteran Linux users. Although I'm new to XDA, I've been using Linux for a while.
This thread is aimed at new Linux users and those who need a command-by-command tutorial on building a rootfs and getting Linux up and running on their Iconias.
Everything is working besides GPS, bluetooth, and sound. I'll try to find a solution after I get to 10 posts.
***DO THIS AT YOUR OWN RISK***
OK, so here goes...
1) Make sure you have a multi boot boot loader on your tab. I use skrilax_cz ICS v6. If you don't have a boot loader, read this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1619913
2) Flash the recovery Linux kernel from this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1158260 and while you're at it, also download that xorg.conf, we'll use that later.
3) That kernel can only boot from mmc1p2, so you'll need to partition your SD card. Start by loading Ubuntu or a similar Linux distro on a computer and use GParted. Make a small general storage partition in FAT32, make a large EXT4 partition (this is where you will store Linux and boot it) and optionally, you can create a 1-2GB Swap partition.
4) Now here's where the real work starts.................................
4i) install qemu ARM stuff on your Linux machine. For Ubuntu - sudo apt-get install qemu-user-static
4ii) plug in your flash drive and locate the /dev point of the ext4 partition. For Ubuntu, use Disk Utility and it will be something like /dev/sdx2.
4iii) unmount partition 2. open a terminal, enter sudo mount -o /dev/sdx2 /mnt/Linux
4iv) run sudo qemu-debootstrap --arch armel sid /mnt/Linux
5) now your base system is installed. chroot into it using sudo chroot /mnt/Linux /bin/bash
6) install your wifi drivers apt-get install broadcom-sta-common broadcom-sta-source firmware-b43-installer firmware-b43legacy-installer b43-fwcutter then download this http://www.mediafire.com/?ycq1ro22vrwks6z extract it and copy it to your sd card /lib/firmware
7) install your favorite window manager. I use XFCE4 - apt-get install xfce4
8)set root password - passwd root
9) type the password you would like to use for root. nothing shows up onscreen while you do this, but WORRY NOT. type exit to leave the chroot environment.
10) unmount SD card
11) pop into tablet, turn on while holding volume down (in portrait mode)
12) enjoy.

Run sudo apt-get install qemu-kvm-extras-static and you should find it in /usr/bin/qemu-arm-static
It also sounds like the package "resolvconf" is incomplete. Try reformatting your SD card and reinstall your distro. Then install try to install something small. I'll upload and link my rootfs as soon as I get home.

I've heard Bluetooth is included in the broadcom drivers, but it has to be accessed in a weird way. Since I don't use it, I haven't messed around with Bluetooth settings. You should try installing a Bluetooth manager (like bluez) and post what happens. It may work! My real focus as of now however is sound.

Do you mean the command to fix sound permissions? Yeah, I tried it. I think I'll reinstall the tegra package though and then run it again. And I'll probably upload it to Google or Mediafire on Saturday. I'll rebuild it and give you guys a clean install and then update my OP.

Man why i cannot create the file system successfully i would like to try different desktops environments

In your defence, Linux can be tricky sometimes. Hopefully I can build this tar all without complication. What desktop environment would you like me to include?

Hello XDA guyz, I am here looking for a system.tar file required to build custom ROMS.
Download the apk below and follow instructions and please give me that .tar file..
Instructions :
1. Getting system folder
(NOTE - YOU MUST BE ROOTED FOR THIS MEDHOD)
This is universal method and can be done easily using terminal emulator.
For this simply download Terminal Emulator from Android Market.
we need freshly flashed device here. OTHERWISE YOU WILL HAVE LOT OF JUNK FILES.
Open it and type:
su
tar -c system/* >> sdcard/system.tar
This will copy all your /system folder to your SDcard with name System.tar
This will take some time to finish so be patient.
After it's done you should have a tar file in your /sdcard named system.tar
now please submit it to me.. Thanks a lot in advance

I can see the files now.. preload is of 300 MB and system.tar is 575 MB.. right ??
Thanks a lot
System is 575.56
Preload is 301.73
These are not exact values
Anyway if you look at build.prop you will see a lot of tweaks

Alright, so we got this guy asking for I don't know what.
He doesn't have an S2, his brother does but he won't let him play with it.
So here comes krazy and say "sure, here you go, now go out and play".
And this guy goes and downloads 800 mb of who knows what?
Am I missing something?
