[Q] [Nexus 4] PA 5.0 - No filesystem access after flashing - General Paranoid Android Discussion

Hi,
i just flashed my nexus 4 to the new version of paranoid android (5.0). To do so I followed the following steps:
- factory reset
- flashing the rom
- flashing pa gapps for 5.0
- restarting the phone
and at this point, my phone has no access to my file system. i cant even make screenshots because "not enough space". my pc says "internal storage" is empty. if i boot to recovery i can see all files / folders.
i think its a permission problem - but if i do "fix permissions" i'm stuck in the boot animation, and i've read i shouldn't do it on android 5.
fortunately i've made backups
i hope someone can help me with this problem.

Will the phone boot? And if yes, will it allow you to download anything from playstore?

yes booting and downloading apps was not a problem.
i've also tried this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2222297
but it didn't work
its currently working, what i did:
- booting into recovery
- Wipe: system, data, dalvik and cache
- Flashed ROM and pa gapps
- restart the phone
- at the phone setup i did _not_ used the app backups from google
- used cf autoroot to re-root my phone
everything seems to work now.

[Q] Superuser permissions not working well

Now I know I'm rooted. I unlocked my bootloader, flashed CWM 3.0 and installed the Superuser (ef) and even installed Rom manager and gave it permission. But for some reason almost every other rooted app I download and try to use it says that my phone isn't rooted?? I'm using a Nexus S. Anybody had similiar issues and resolved it? Thanks for all responses.
Yes the answer has been posted. Go into the recovery from rom manager or by volume and power. Go to mounts and storage and mount / system. You are see it unmount now so mount the system.
You may also need to zap the system with chmod.
You do this by going into Clockwork Recovery's Mounts & Storage. Mount /system. Then in ADB from your computer type in:
1) adb shell
2) cd /system/bin
3) chmod 6775 su
exit and reboot.

[Q] mkdir failed for recovery, file exists KF flashing CM7

I have been trying to flash this rom to my KF.. however when trying to CMD mkdir recovery i get the response mkdir failed for recovery, file exists. any solutions? im mounted and device shows on adb.
adb shell
su
cd cache
mkdir recovery
mdkir failed recovery, file exist
Any ideas?
did you look to see if the directory recovery actually exists? If so, the error makes sense.
Honestly this is my first rom flashing.. and dont understand where to find that.. i followed the instructions from here -CM7 For Kindle Fire With Audio & In-Browser Video [Download & Install]- on addictive tips
but for some reason i cannot get past that.. i didnt see any post about the same problem.. so not sure how to get around it >.< heh the only ive searched my sd card and havent found any recovery files

Not knowing could end up bricking your device.
Using ls -l will show you what is in the cache directory... you most likely already have a recovery directory which is why mkdir doesn't work, it tells you why.
Example:
Code:
$ [B][COLOR="Red"]adb shell[/COLOR][/B]
$ [B][COLOR="Red"]su[/COLOR][/B]
su
# [B][COLOR="Red"]cd cache[/COLOR][/B]
cd cache
# [B][COLOR="Red"]ls -l[/COLOR][/B]
ls -l
drwxrwx--- root cache 1969-12-31 17:00 lost+found
drwxrwx--- system cache 2011-11-29 18:06 recovery
#
ok so i did this
ls
lost+found
recovery
thats what showed up.. so being that.. how to i rid the directory so i can flash the rom then?
ls -1 showed no such file or directory
J noticed some omissions in the instructions, like going in to root after adb shell, among some others. Make sure you are in root (# instead of $) as soon as you get into adb shell.
In all honesty, not trying to be a ****, I would suggest you wait until there is a working.custom.recovery before getting in to this. Although not difficult, you can brick your device with one bad command, ans not having a fool proof recovery is not going to make recoveery very easy.....

ughhhh amazons lay out is a jokeeeee tho haha and i was in root... su puts you in # right after adb shell.. but yeah i might have too... i cant figure this out for some reason >.< ty tho

[Solved] [Stock .27] ADB only work in recovery mode

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!

Rebooted in CWM and tried to install Busybox
i mounted /system /data and /sdcard
i created the folder /data/local/temp

Upgrading to 4.2.2 Issue

I tried today to upgrade from 4.1.2 to 4.2.2 but it failed about 30% of the way through the upgrade and ended with the Droid on his back with a red x.
Its rooted but got stock recovery.
I did the same upgrade for my Nexus 4 to 4.2.2 from 4.2.1 and that upgraded fine.
What's causing the upgrade to fail?
Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks

OK jonchill I will try to help out.
But only because you inadvertently disclosed a new OTA download (JZO54K->JDQ39) for nakasi.
Here's the deal:
The OTA process performs checksums on hundreds of individual files (and even partitions e.g. boot partition) before it begins any work. 100% of checksums must pass before anything gets changed by the OTA.
It's a safety feature meant to protect people from applying the wrong files to their tablets/phones. More importantly, the reason that it is done is because the OTA does not contain "replacement" files - it only has small binary "patch" files which can be used only in conjunction with the original file to create the intended replacement file. This is how OTAs can be so much smaller than a full ROM - the files already present are "patched" to create their replacements.
But the bottom line is that if *you* removed or altered any single file which is a target of the OTA patching process, these pre-installation checks will fail. (Even worse, it stops immediately - it is possible that you have more than one file involved in this. Because of this stop-on-first-fail behavior, you don't know yet whether or not there are more to come.)
When I say *you* I mean you personally plus any root-using apps which you installed and ran on your tablet. Could have been an app.
OK, now for the good news. I downloaded the OTA - thanks for providing the file name - and looked at the installer script; that installer script for JZO54K-> JDQ39 is shown here on pastebin. The file which your OTA is complaining about is "bttest" - and as it turns out, this check occurs on line 1040 - it is the third from last file checked. The only thing which comes after that is a check of
/system/xbin/dexdump
and
the boot partition ( EMMC:/dev/block/platform/sdhci-tegra.3/by-name/LNX )
Now I don't have any idea what might have caused "bttest" to disappear from your ROM. On the off-chance that "dexdump" got deleted too, attached is a zip of those two files from the JZO54K distro.
This is not a flashable zip - it's just the two files. It's your responsibility to get them into /system/xbin/
Note their ownership info:
Code:
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root 2000 5448 Oct 2 14:49 /system/xbin/bttest
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root 2000 59828 Oct 2 14:49 /system/xbin/dexdump
If you restore them to /system/xbin/ make sure you
Code:
chown 0.2000 /system/xbin/bttest /system/xbin/dexdump
chmod 755 /system/xbin/bttest /system/xbin/dexdump
I verified their SHA1 checksums (note these are the 2nd string of digits in the failing assert_check).
2bb363a3f434d165d1167d915c2ba44967e22071 bttest
e5e4d35038ed3e32a15194275806d90e64e003c6 dexdump
good luck.
I've downloaded the files and tried transferring them across to XBIN but it fails saying the folder isn't writable, I've tried changing the permissions on the folder but it errors saying can't set permissions.
What am I doing wrong?
Thanks
The /system partition is typically mounted "ro" - Read Only.
Root-aware file browsers typically have a toggle in their (root-related) menu to remount /system in rw mode, but you can easily do it yourself from the command line. (using a terminal emulator or adb). You just need to be root to do this. (Or you can just do everything in the custom recovery, in which case the /system mount point will be in "rw" mode by default)
C:\foo> adb shell
$ su
# mount -o remount,rw /system
(copy files into place, do chmods , etc)
# mount -o remount,ro /system
Just tried a you suggested and it doesn't seem to want to put the system into RW. I've also tried changing the permissions through the file manager I've got installed and get the same result.
* daemon not running. starting it now on port 5037 *
* daemon started successfully *

Well, that's odd. I'm not really sure why that is happening. You could fool around with the mount command a little bit or just avoid all this nonsense and do what you need via adb in the custom recovery.
If your bootloader is unlocked, but you don't want to *flash* a custom recovery (I see you said you have stock recovery), you can nevertheless temporarily *boot* one, and just that temporarily booted custom recovery as in:
- put device in bootloader mode
C:\fubar> fastboot boot name-of-custom-recovery-image.img
(wait until it is booted)
C:\fubar> adb shell
# mount /system
# cp /sdcard/wherever/bttest /system/xbin/bttest
# cp /sdcard/wherever/dexdump /system/xbin/bttest
# chown 0.2000 /system/xbin/bttest /system/xbin/dexdump
# chmod 755 /system/xbin/bttest /system/xbin/dexdump
# sync
# umount /system
reboot
I don't know how you originally rooted, but generally the adb connection from either custom recovery (TWRP/CWM) needs an additional USB driver (yes, even though you "already have ADB working with the normal OS"). I suppose most lazy folks use either a toolkit or the XDA Universal Naked driver for this. (No support will be given by me on driver installs - I need to draw the line someplace.)
good luck
Tried booting to a temp custom recovery (TWRP) and followed your instructions but still getting the Read-Only file system. At this stage would it be better to take a backup and re-flash a full image?
C:\NRT\data>adb shell
~ # ←[6n
~ # ←[6nmount /system
mount /system
~ # ←[6ncp /sdcard/bttest /system/xbin/bttest
cp /sdcard/bttest /system/xbin/bttest
cp: can't create '/system/xbin/bttest': I/O error
~ # ←[6ncp /sdcard/dexdump /system/xbin/dexdump
cp /sdcard/dexdump /system/xbin/dexdump
cp: can't create '/system/xbin/dexdump': Read-only file system

Well that is bizarre.
Some boot kernel/ramdisk configurations use a "errors=remount-ro" mount option with ext4 filesystem that automatically prevents a "rw" mount if corruption was detected in the ext4 filesystem meta-data.
Although when the mount of /system succeeds in 4.2.2 stock I don't see that - this is what you get:
Code:
adb shell cat /proc/mounts | grep system
/dev/block/platform/sdhci-tegra.3/by-name/APP /system ext4 ro,relatime,user_xattr,acl,barrier=1,data=ordered 0 0
I also don't see that option in use with TWRP 2.4.1.0 either:
Code:
adb shell cat /proc/mounts | grep system
/dev/block/mmcblk0p3 /system ext4 rw,relatime,user_xattr,acl,barrier=1,data=ordered 0 0
It's just a hypothesis - but perhaps somehow your /system partition got damaged?
I am reluctant to continue giving advice since your device is behaving non-nominally. (I never used JZO54K, so I can't say for sure.)
It is possible that doing a dirty overflash of factory 4.2.2 (of only the boot partition & system partition) via fastboot would succeed, but I would feel a lot more comfortable about doing that in the sequence JOP40C->JOP40D->JDQ39 where you are converting a 4.2.x ROM to a later version. In your case though, coming from a 4.1.x ROM (JZO54K), that seems like there could be downstream problems.
The conservative route would be to take as many backups as you feel are appropriate, e.g. Nandroid + TiBu or Carbon, reinstall the full factory 4.2.2 stock (including bootloader!), re-root, and then restore your market apps & data (TiBu or Carbon). Note that because we have no idea what the changes/bug fixes were in the 4.18 bootloader update, you probably want to make sure you install the 4.18 bootloader first (and make sure to reboot to it!) before doing any of the subsequent steps (partition erasures & formatting, in particular).
I wouldn't do anything at all, though until I had succeeded making a full Nandroid backup and making sure I had a copy of it off of the tablet. Do your Nandroid backups succeed?

Thanks for all your help, as this is going to be quite a bit more complex than first thought I'm going to leave the above until I come back from holiday.
Thanks again.

Hi, jonchill... (when you return from your holiday)...
Here's what I would try...
When I'm poking around in /system (usually for something more prosaic, like changing the BOOTANIMATION.ZIP), I use X-Plore File Manager (http://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.lonelycatgames.Xplore&hl=en).
It's a ROOT capable DUAL pane file manager... so you should be able to copy the files directly into /SYSTEM/XBIN (setting one pane as your SOURCE, the other as your DESTINATION TARGET).
Once copied there, LONG PRESS on the respective files just copied, select PERMISSIONs from the context menu that appears, and set accordingly.
But first, you will have to go into CONFIGURATION>ROOT ACCESS and set X-Plore File Manager to SUPERUSER+MOUNT WRITABLE...
I have both these files (bttest and dexdump) in my xbin folder... and permissions for both are 755.
See my screenshots appended to this post.
Hope this helps...
Rgrds,
Ged.

PS. where did you get the OTA updater ZIP nakasi-JDQ39-from-JZO54K.da55f917.zip from? I've Googled around for it, but can't find it anywhere. Would be nice to have it in my collection.

I'm new here, and can't get over to the developers forums to ask. I have two GT-I9500s for development purposes, one if full of junk, and the other is still stock, except for recovery. They both have CWM Recovery v6.0.3.2, the latest available pre-compiled I've found. The stock phone has only been booted once. That system is not rooted (and this is my whole point, I want as close to stock as possible)
I am attempting to extract the system image from Stock I9500. I have booted into CWM Recovery mode, then "adb shell" into the device. All commands I issue to the shell return "Permission Denied"
Code:
:$ adb shell
~ $ ls
/sbin/sh: ls: Permission denied
~ $ dd of=/storage/extSdCard/SYSTEM.img if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p20 bs=4069
/sbin/sh: dd: Permission denied
~ $ su
/sbin/sh: su: Permission denied
~ $ sudo su
/sbin/sh: sudo: Permission denied
I have tried to use Advanced->Fix Permissions to no avail.
CWM is pure and latest from www dot clockworkmod dot com slash rommanager (new users apparently cannot post links). CWM is able successfully operate "Backup to External" from the stock device.
The end goal is to clone the clean, stock device onto the other one. CWM claims success on "Restore from External" to the other device, but it sits on the "Samsung" loading screen forever.
A solution to either or both of these problems would be appreciated.

same issue
I have the same issue. I first also didn't adb shell available. But I fixed it in recovery mode by doing mount /system. However, now like you I have no permissions at all. I'm considering doing a factory reset, but that's gonna be my final resort. I first go looking for other ways to come around it.

You need to allow your pc first to use adb. Boot into android, use adb and press allow. After that you can use adb in recovery. If it still fails, then try a different recovery. Philz or TWRP.
