[Q] Need a tad bit of help with using commands

K, i've got a wii emulator, but i don't understand how to run these commands !!! +_+
To increase stability on Galaxy S4 and other Adreno 3xx devices with driver v14, you need to root and run the following commands on the device as root.
Code:
echo 0 > /sys/kernel/debug/kgsl/kgsl-3d0/fast_hang_detect
echo 0 > /sys/kernel/debug/kgsl/kgsl-3d0/ft_pagefault_policy
echo 0 > /sys/kernel/debug/kgsl/kgsl-3d0/ft_policy
echo 0 > /sys/kernel/debug/kgsl/kgsl-3d0/ib_check
echo 0 > /sys/kernel/debug/kgsl/kgsl-3d0/long_ib_detect
Can someone please educate me on how this is suppose to work? do i need an android terminal? or how do i go about running these commands?
(yes my phone is rooted)
Thanks
Ryan

These are system commands and you need to run them from the "command line". The easiest way to do that would be to install a terminal application. Android Terminal Emulator by Jack Palevich is one good choice. Or you could run an adb shell.
After you install terminal emulator, enter
su [enter]

"su" is the command for superuser (root access). Then you can use the system configuration commands that you have for your wii emulator.
If any commands need to be reentered each time you use your emulator, then you could use a scripting app like gscript light which can be configured to enter these commands from a bookmark. i.e. just click on a bookmark and it will run a set of commands for you.

Hi,
Thanks for replying!!! I've a problem though , after i enter su (enter) then grant superuser, i type in echo 0 > /sys/kernel/debug/kgsl/kgsl-3d0/fast_hang_detect
then i get no such file or directory , what am i doing wrong???

Do you have those directories on your phone? Where did you get the commands to type in? Are they specific to the s4?

I got the commands from here https://forums.dolphin-emu.org/Thread-opengl-es-3-guide i apologize if im not supposed to post link +_+

I can't add much more than jd1639 already suggested. These commands would just make a temporary configuration change to half a dozen driver settings in aid of your emulator program. The "echo 0" command ensures that a particular setting is set to "0", if the target file exists.
Check for typos. If there weren't any typos, then it would seem likely that the information from the original thread is inaccurate or out of date. What model of phone are you trying this on? The original thread refers to the i9505 and similar phones. Is your phone a i9505? The fact that you're posting this in an AT&T, et al forum suggest that you might actually have a i337 /i337m phone. Depending on what model you actually have, your phone may have a Snapdragon 800 or Exynos processor rather than the Snapdragon 600.
The drivers may or may not be the same across different phones and processors. Or the drivers names may have changed in a subsequent firmware update. You check your filesystem to see if those paths exist or if the file names can be found elsewhere. Then look to the emulator thread for further guidance.
I had a quick look at a S3 and some, but not all of those files exist. If you find the same thing on your S4, then you'll have to refer to the emulator thread to discern if you need to have all of those items to enable your emulator or if a subset will suffice.
You can probably just create any "missing" files for a workable solution. They're just text files that the drivers refer to for guidance. It's something that I'd at least try in your place. However while I don't perceive any real risk in that i.e. worst case it wouldn't boot and you'd need to restore a backup.. don't look to me if your phone unexpectedly wimpers, fails or becomes sentient and disagrees. Anything you actually do is at your own risk.
You can search paths and file names as follows below. And you should be able to use the touch, mv or cp commands (or install a text editor) to create a missing file.
$ su
# cd /sys/kernel/debug/kgsl/kgsl-3d0
# ls -la
# find / -name fast_hang_detect

Hi, I have the I337m variety of the Samsung S4 will that make a difference?

The answer to that will be in your emulator thread.
More to the point, you haven't done your homework yet. Do those paths and files exist on your phone? Does the emulator thread clarify if all of those settings are required? And did you try creating any missing files? People are trying to help you here, but we can't see what your phone screen actually shows. And you should be doing most of the work to see what does or doesn't work.

That is what i get, for the life of me i can't figure out if that means i have it or i don't. "On the Thread it says To increase stability on Galaxy S4 and other Adreno 3xx devices with driver v14, you need to root and run the following commands on the device as root."
So I'm assuming i require all of them to work in order for any difference. Certain sites list the I337m varient as one of which supports Open Gl ES 3 so i assume it would work

All right, I can understand how a lot of this might be a challenge to understand if you have no experience with linux. But you at least need to make sure that you aren't making typos when using these commands.
e.g.
[email protected]:/ # find / -namefast_hang_detect

You missed a space between -name and the actual file name. And yes, that is critical. Nothing here is likely to work if you have typos. Try the following and paste the results back here. And I or someone else will better understand what is going on::
$ su
# cd /sys/kernel/debug/kgsl/kgsl-3d0
# ls -la
(exactly as above and paste the result for us).
If you are ambitious then also try the following for any "missing" files and let us know if that succeeds in getting your emulator up and running.
e.g.
# touch /sys/kernel/debug/kgsl/kgsl-3d0/fast_hang_detect
# echo 0 > /sys/kernel/debug/kgsl/kgsl-3d0/fast_hang_detect
.

:S thanks i didn't know i had missed a space, and yea i have little to no experience with linux.

You're still making multiple typos, so we didn't get the information that we need.

After fixing all my typos and spending hours trying to get it to work, ive come to the conclusion, yea ive got the wrong phone model :S .... well that was a waste of time

adb root
adb remount

nothing did the trick, even tried to fix permissions via twrp.
can anyone help me get this solved please without a fw reflash?

LG G2 D802 [International] NO Baseband/IMEI

Hi,
Unrooted phone fell in the water and failed to power on.
I send it to a lab (not an LG lab). Laboratory cleaned of corrosion but didn't change any part.
The phone works now, but without Baseband and IMEI.
I tried to root/flash (KDZ and TOT)/erase (data/dalvik etc) but nothing works. Obviously I don't have a backup since the phone was unrooted.
Tried with Qualcomm NV tool and EFS professional, but I'm unable to change IMEI (I know it).
Please advise.
I'm attaching some details about the file system and the mounts:

I screw my sm-g900h ¿Unrecoverable?

Hi to all!
So this is my case, right now IM really desperate.
My phone is a SM-G900H I installed this ROM: https://forum.xda-developers.com/ga...-exynos/rom-resurrection-remix-5-7-4-t3526192 (that BTW is a great proyect)
This works the first time until I reboot the phone, then I get stuck in a bootloop.
So from Sammobile I downloaded 3 different firmware and I flashed to my phone, this is what happens in all cases:
When Odin set on green and the phone reboots after the Samsung logo I see this:
{
"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"
}
But the progress bar always stops on "40%" and then change to this:
So what is that make me think there is something in the phone that is stopping the process..
This is what I tried to do:
- I flashed 3 different firmware including the Bl,AP,CP,PIT variation.
- I flashed TWRP, CWM and I used the recovery stock
- I try to recover my phone with OTA.
- I tried to change the kernel.
- I tried to recover a friend stock backup with twrp.
- Finally I used nand erase all
- Tried to flash STOCK ROM DEODEX of @yash92duster
- Tried the two PIT.
Data that maybe is useful:
- When I go to TWRP and I mount EFS then I go to filemanager and I click to the EFS folder, the phone reboots.
- I can't use ADB SHELL (with TWRP), if I type adb devices I don't see it, but if I use the stock recovery and I choose adb sideload I see the id and I can do sideload very well.
I have access to:
Download Mode.
ADB (Only if I flash philz recovery).

What I think:
There is something that in the "updating" process make stop the progress so android finish erasing o reverting the process.
Thanks in advance!

the image you provided only shows up with a stock recovery. download TWRP 3.0.2 and flash it in Odin. Or, better yet, get the stock tar.md5 file, flash it in Odin, let it boot, boot to download mode, flash TWRP, go to advanced options, file manager and erase the android folders from internal and external storage, root it via TWRP, wipe cache, dalvik cache and system 3 times (yes, 3 times) then flash whatever compatible ROM you wish. I run resurrection remix myself and its a bomb diggity ROM!!

Hi to all!
So this is my case, right now IM really desperate.
My phone is a SM-G900H I installed this ROM: https://forum.xda-developers.com/ga...-exynos/rom-resurrection-remix-5-7-4-t3526192 (that BTW is a great proyect)
This works the first time until I reboot the phone, then I get stuck in a bootloop.
So from Sammobile I downloaded 3 different firmware and I flashed to my phone, this is what happens in all cases:
When Odin set on green and the phone reboots after the Samsung logo I see this:
But the progress bar always stops on "40%" and then change to this:
So what is that make me think there is something in the phone that is stopping the process..
This is what I tried to do:
- I flashed 3 different firmware including the Bl,AP,CP,PIT variation.
- I flashed TWRP, CWM and I used the recovery stock
- I try to recover my phone with OTA.
- I tried to change the kernel.
- I tried to recover a friend stock backup with twrp.
- Finally I used nand erase all
- Tried to flash STOCK ROM DEODEX of @yash92duster
- Tried the two PIT.
Data that maybe is useful:
- When I go to TWRP and I mount EFS then I go to filemanager and I click to the EFS folder, the phone reboots.
- I can't use ADB SHELL (with TWRP), if I type adb devices I don't see it, but if I use the stock recovery and I choose adb sideload I see the id and I can do sideload very well.
I have access to:
Download Mode.
ADB (Only if I flash philz recovery).
Recovery.

the folder is just called "android", and if youve wiped your internal and its never fully booted since, it might not have the android folder on the internal as it gets created during the initial boot process

where did you get your tar file from?

can't find boot partition while trying to install usb host-mode on nook simple touch

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:

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!
