I was trying to make a backup of my build.prop via terminal, but after su, I get a
"cp: not found" error. Anyone else getting this? Anyone know how to fix?
I asked in the permaroot thread but no response... I guess you can just use root explorer to find and copy that file to wherever you wanted to place it?
Eh. I don't want another app that I shouldn't need. I would resort to that for now, but I don't know of a free root explorer app... suggestions?
Try:
Code:
sudo bash
cp
didn't work
From $ that returns "sudo: permission denied"
From # it returns "sudo: not found"

Great alternative till this gets fixed. Thanks! FYI for others that may use this, you have to enable root permissions in the option menu.

When you open the app did you install the latest version of busybox?
Download busybox from market then install within the program and you are golden!

Didn't work for me either. I'm debating unrooting and going the rage way to permaroot.
worked for me after installing busybox
Hello, anyone compiled a tun.ko module for the arc kernel yet? This is needed in order to use openVPN. I got my bootloader unlocked, phone rooted, busybox installed, and now am just waiting on a tun.ko file to get things rolling
Once I get toolchain environment setup on my Mac this should be easily done. Will see if I can find time tomorrow.

I have one for Japanese version of arc, which was built against so-01c_gingerbread_3.0.D.2.79.tar.gz, working fine though, I guess the kernel version is different for you?

OK, tested this tun.ko. You should be good to go, and use it.
To use:
adb push tun.ko /sdcard/
adb shell
$ su
# mount -o rw,remount -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock0 /system
# cp /sdcard/tun.ko /system/lib/modules/
# chmod 644 /system/lib/modules/tun.ko
# rm/sdcard/tun.ko
# sync
# exit
$ exit
Thanks for all your help, got everything installed right (I think) but still can't get a tunnel working... Does the xperia arc kernel support tun? Either that or I have still got something wrong here...

It works. But openvpn has some issues. You need the static version. Google for openvpn-static.
You also need busybox in system/xbin and a symlink from system/xbin/bb to system/xbin.
Google again will help you.
Sent from my R800i using XDA Premium App
I have installed OpenVPN Installer and OpenVPN Settings from the market and created symlinks of ifconfig and route from busybox at /system/xbin/bb. it works except DNS settings. need to go to the preference by long-pressing the configuration and check on "Use VPN DNS Server" and add an IP address at "VPN DNS Server" explicitly.
Hey gius Im trying to reboot via terminal but I cant seem to get it to work. Keep getting "Nor premited!" error.
I tried with both commands and am using a rooted G2 with stock rom.
su reboot - same error
su reboot now- same error.
any ideas? I know there are apps to do it but why is it not working via terminal?
Any reason why you can't just hold the button in and press reboot?
$ su -
# shutdown -r now
it shoulda outta do it then
for just turning off:
# shutdown -h now

Hmm Tried that right now and it says shutdown: not found.
I'm getting the same error! I only tried terminal when Gscript Lite gave me a "not permited". Don't know if it's related, but terminal always starts with $ rather than #. The weirdest part is that it DID work through ADB.
I'm S-OFF, root verified. Has anyone else seen this? I've been searching the forums for a while now...
Try
$ su
# busybox killall system_server

I get busybox: not found, but since I initially thought it was a busybox issue, I have already updated busybox. Per Titanium Backup, I have version 1.18.4-Titanium. Could it be the titanium busybox?

I had the same problem on rooted stock, and it has since gone away since I put on CM7. The reason is that it is not just reboot that didn't work. Almost no scripts would run either, and those can be quite helpful. I believe it's a symptom of something larger, but I can't quite place my finger on what.

I can get reboot -f which works but I have to use busybox killall_server to get it work from a script,have tried a few things but literature on the subject is pretty sparse,its not so important but would still like to understand the whole process, but I seem to be in the minority trying to solve this.......
Why I have to use reboot -f on Unity where reboot will do on CM is a mystery,have found a file that seems to define functions on Unity(virtuous-functions.sh), have tried adding REBOOT="$BUSYBOX reboot" to this but doesn't help.
reboot -f it is then!

Guessing this can only be confirmed at the time of the next update for me. Currently running 7.2.2 on KFHD.
Will download and give it a go.
Thanks.
Droidwall is a good solution for this too. You can block all Apps for using the Internet connection to call "home"
This script looks to disable all OTA services. Would that not included whispersync, the personal documents service etc? it is possible that blocking all of these services may have undesired consequences to folks who value those services. That said, thanks for developing this script.
Can you provide more details on how to disable OTAs using Droidwall? I downloaded the application but I am not sure which applications I need to block or how to configure.

I installed DroidWall and blacklist all amazon apps, but it still update to 7.2.2 version. I doubt DroidWall can off OTA update
Did you blacklist the 10000. System file seen in the attachment?

Ok, so I used the OP's .SH file, and then read a bit further on this thread and realized his code would disable whispersync too.
Is there any way to reverse his code? I tried to go into his code and change the word "disable" to "enable" but the file would not execute anymore. I have no idea why. I did not change the file name, but ADB keeps telling me "no such file or directory"
Can anyone please help? I'm using Fire HD 8.9 ver. 8.1.3
After i reverse the code, I will just use droidwall
Thanks for your help.

Try running each command with ADB.
I'm not familiar with the disable 'pm' command but know that services can be enabled/disabled via titanium backup. Dont know if this is the same function but you could install it and give it a go.

ninjabeaver,
This script does disable Whisper Sync which is why we had our developers redesign a scipt to remove the OTA Services
only. Here is the less aggressive version:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2086450
when we developed the attached script we were very careful to only effect OTA and no other services. We also wrote
an enable script for the people who need to send back there Kindles for repair.
Right on thanks..I hadn't seen that thread before.

If I had used this script on my KF2 but now have installed TWRP and installed new ROM, would I need to run this again ?
Does this script prevent syncing with google play?
I rooted my kindle fire 2 and I ran this script. I uploaded songs onto google play music, but i'm unable to find songs I'd uploaded to the site.
Is it because of this script that google play is unable to sync with my kindle?
Thanks

Good afternoon:
Is it possible to provide this service in an APK?
This would allow the user to simply install the APK and then select enable or disable OTA as required?
The User would not have to know anything about ADB and related commands.
If I knew how to create APK apps I would give it a try.

This has been discussed quite a bit in the last few pages of my guide thread. Apparently 2.66 doesn't play ball with Android Pay, try 2.61 instead.

Assuming you have the latest Android SDK installed, and have USB Debugging enabled in developer options (on phone.) plug phone into PC.
Open Terminal
adb devices (To make sure it sees your device.)
if device is found
then
adb shell
$su
#rm -f -r /su/xbin_bind
#exit
$exit
