Too many threads... too many sites and PC options.
Here's my situation:
Droid X
Used the leak update... running 2.2 now.
Use a MAC. And have Terminal app on DX.
Have SBF file for 2.1 stock, have ZIP files of rooted 2.2's
Dont have custom recovery.
Dont care much about warranty or OTA... just want to be able to apply ZIPs.
I need to somehow either root my DX with Mac or Terminal app. Or flash the SBF to bring things back to 2.1.
Not sure what to do??? Please please help.
I am not familiar with terminal commands...so if you leave instructions that would be great.

You follow the same ADB commands, more or less. Why not try something like Universal AndRoot though? Then you could just skip over it.
But, if you need to sbf, I would *think* you follow the Linux instructions.
1) download sbf_flash & sbf file
Code:
cd directory/where/these/are/located
./sbf_flash SBFfileLOCATION
The only way to SBF is to run windows through bootcamp or this http://www.droidforums.net/forum/droid-hacks/38671-flashing-sbf-mac.html . I am in the same boat as you luckily my girlfriend has a dell running Windows. You should also be able to root 2.2 using the Droid 2 method posted in this section http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=766767. I assume you have the SDK downloaded already? The Linux directions does not work for Mac.

I TRIED THAT, BUT THERE IS SOME ERROR THAT POPS UP... CAN'T DO IT. 2.2 ISN'T SUPPORTED... I THINK IT'S JUST FOR 2.1..
But, if you need to sbf, I would *think* you follow the Linux instructions.
1) download sbf_flash & sbf file
Code:
cd directory/where/these/are/located

SO THAT EASY? JUST TWO COMMAND LINES?
So, if I put the SBF on my desktop it would be:
cd desktop (enter)
./sbf_flash fullSBFfilename.sbf (enter)

Running ADB with Mac OSX and therefore rooting with the mac is EASY. Just make sure you have the Android SDK installed on your Mac. Make sure in your .bash_profile you have the path set to the tools directory of your SDK folder.
Since I can't tell if you have all this down, I'll give you the instructions on setting up adb on the mac (using terminal), then give you the directions I followed on rooting my Droid X from OSX (I am running 2.2 leaked).
Essentially follow these instructions (taken from tjrocks91 on droidforum... I'd link, but I am not yet allowed to post outside links on this forum):
1. Download the Android SDK for Mac OSX. (google it)
2. Extract the zip file to any destination on your Mac. *Remember its path!*
In the AndroidSDK folder, there will be a folder named “tools”. We will be adding this folder to the path on Mac OSX. For this example, extract to your home folder (the folder that contains the desktop, documents, etc. folders)
3. To do this click on Finder > Go > Utilities > Terminal.
4. Type in without quotations “cd ~/”
5. Next, type "touch .bash_profile" to create your new bash or otherwise known path file.
6. Next, type "open -e .bash_profile" to open it in TextEdit. A TextEdit window will open, copy and past this into that window, substituting <username> for your username on OSX:
export PATH=${PATH}:/Users/<username>/AndroidSDK/tools
7. Save the file and close the window.
8. Repeat steps 5 through 7, but replace .bash_profile with ".bashrc" (without the quotes)
9. ADB should be ready to go. Make sure that your Droid X is set to "charge only" when connected via USB, and that you have debug mode set to on in your Android settings (settings>applications>development> USB Debugging)
10. In terminal, type (without the quotes): "adb devices". You should see a return that gives a list of devices attached. If the daemon wasn't started yet, this will do it. After that, type "adb shell" to enter adb.
11. After that, the adb commands are ALL the same on any platform, just make adjustments for different file systems when moving things TO your phone when using the command prompt (and not in the adb shell itself, but using adb commands). OSX follows unix/linux file structure, but not always the linux/unix file arrangement (but pretty darn close, since it is a Unix BSD GUI).
Now onto rooting your DX running 2.2. I've attached the file I used. It is a .rar files, so you will need a .rar extractor. I found a nice free one on the net called UnrarX. Google it, get it. Its free, it works. I will give instructions assuming you have them. These instructions come from karnovaran here on XDA. THey are for the droid 2, but work for the Droid X as well. i will translate them into instructions that can be followed verbatim on Mac (as the instructions he gave are meant for those doing this through the command prompt in windows).
1. Extract the contents of the attached file to your sdk tools folder
2. Open a terminal window and navigate to your sdk tools folder. if you put the sdk folder in your home folder, then the command and path you should enter from the terminal should be something like this:
cd AndroidSDK/tools
3. Now the process is as follows (follow EXACTLY, making sure you are faithful to YOUR file paths). I'm copying almost verbatim from karnovaran:
- adb devices (to verify the connection)
- adb push Superuser.apk /sdcard/Superuser.apk
- adb push su /sdcard/su
- adb push busybox /sdcard/busybox
- adb push rageagainstthecage-arm5.bin /data/local/tmp/rageagainstthecage-arm5.bin
- adb shell
- cd data/local/tmp
- chmod 0755 rageagainstthecage-arm5.bin
- ./rageagainstthecage-arm5.bin
- let the process run until it 'kicks' you out (this WILL take a while, so don't TOUCH ANYTHING on your phone. Just go grab a beer and relax until the proces kicks you back out to the tools folder in terminal)
- adb kill-server
- cd <wherever-your-sdk-tools-folder-is>
- adb devices (to verify the connection)
- adb shell (you should now have a # prompt, if not return to ./rage step above)
- mount -o rw,remount -t ext3 /dev/block/mmcblk1p21 /system
- cp /sdcard/Superuser.apk /system/app/Superuser.apk
- cp /sdcard/su /system/bin/su
- cp /sdcard/busybox /system/bin/busybox
- chmod 4755 /system/bin/su
- chmod 4755 /system/bin/busybox
- mount -o ro,remount -t ext3 /dev/block/mmcblk1p21 /system
- exit
- exit
This got me root on my DX and I did this on OSX no problem. The only PC I have that is functional is my laptop for work and because of the content on it and security procedures, though I could do android hacking with it, I will not, so I'm stuck with using my Mac. Thing is that it really is NOT hard. Commands are almost exactly as in Linux/Unix, and OSX terminal runs bash, which is quite versatile (more commands than busybox, iirc) in and of itself. And getting mac root access is bloody easy using sudo if you need it (otherwise, don't use it).
I hope this helps. Have fun.
many steps.... but will go slowly.
Thank you!!!!
Many steps, but they work!

Yeah this would be your problem.
@OP,
yes, it would be just that easy IF AND ONLY IF the linux commands apply to macs as well. Which I have NO IDEA on. so proceed at your own risk :z

There's your problem.... you're using leopard . I'm using 10.6.3. Love it. They did well with this new OS version (for those who don't know... the difference to users between Leopard and Snow Leopard for OSX folks is like the diff between Eclair and FroYo... the former is good, but the later far exceeds it under the hood though still remaining almost the same on the front end).
And obviously that means I'm running an intel machine as well. 2008 iMac 20".... 2.66 Ghz Core 2 Duo. Just your regular, nothing-special iMac.
I thought Macs were supposed to be user friendly?

As a note I had to do this last week when I upgraded to the new 4.2.2 roms, and I was unable to sideload the rom until I rename it to something smaller.
So instead of something like "rom_trickdroid7.5" I just renamed it to "rom.zip" and at that point sideload command worked fine.

OK so what you need to do is place the zip in your tools folder in andsdk. I am not sure if you have a platform-tools folder where there is an adb.exe file but whatever folder you have that in the zip also needs to go.
In recovery make sure you navigate to advanced then sideload and then swipe to start sideload. Once sideload is enabled then you type in the command prompt adb devices... It should show your device and have sideload next to it. If that is what you see last step is type
adb sideload nameofzip.zip
It automatically hoes to the root of your internal memory

I changed directories to where the adb.exe is (inside platform-tools) and ADB Sideload is already started in TWRP. However, whenever I type "adb devices" it only says "List of attached devices" and nothing under it. Whenever I try flashing the ROM, it says error: device not found. What am I doing wrong here? I even changed the name of the ROM to rom.zip to make it shorter as per a suggestion in the first page of the thread, but that didn't work either.
Okay now I realize my device isn't actually recognized, although it works fine with fastboot usb.
What do I do? I tried having windows automatically search for drivers but it didn't find anything.
Okay after doing some more reading I realized I never actually opened SDK Manager, and when I try, it just opens a black command prompt window and then shuts down. I then came across this article and realized I need Java JDK drivers before I can actually run SDK Manager and then follow the rest of the tutorial. Maybe that is the problem??

are you trying to use adb while fastboot is running on the phone? if so that won't work.
you need to have your phone in recovery mode or during normal operation for adb to work.
also make sure no other instances of adb are running use task manager (through ctrl+alt+del) to check and make sure no other instance of adb is running. i had the issue where it wouldn't kill previous iterations of itself.
*edit*
hmmm i just noticed your screenshot.
looks like you may need to reinstall the htc drivers, alternatively you could try to install koush's universal adb driver.

could very well be, if the sdk isn't properly installed - chances are the drivers aren't either. have you tried manually updating the drivers for the "unknown device"?

Hey Man, you need to make sure you install HTC Drivers and make sure the phone is recognized by the computer. Also, open sdk Manager and download updates, I will post a screen shot, I am using the same adb bundle you are. Update all the 4.1.2 and 4.2.2 APIs and next to each item under 4.1.2 and 4.2.2 make sure it says installed...May help with adb recognizing your phone.
The only issue right now is your phone being recognized by adb while in sideload because once it is the process will work I can promise you that.
Let me know if you have questions, I would get back to you sooner but I am in Hawaii and where its 11pm on the east its only 5 18pm here
Yeah, thank you very much guys. I was playing God of War and waiting for HTC Sync Manager to download so I can install it, haha. Everything went fine and the rom sideloaded 100%. Now I rebooted into recovery but I do not know where the rom.zip is located so I can install it? Any ideas?
---------- Post added at 05:31 AM ---------- Previous post was at 05:26 AM ----------
Never mind, I just realized it should be in the sideload.zip file. I am so dumb today.
Thanks for all your help, guys.

I have never used CWM but if you boot into recovery, look for ADB Sideload through the options you have in CWM Recovery, if you do enable sideload and verify its connected and recognized by the computer by typing adb devices and it will show you your device with sideload. If it shows that then yes it will work

I am sure many of you have run into this problem before. Your flashing a ROM and on your marry way to enjoying the yummy goodness that comes with a fresh flash. You boot up and suddenly you hit with FC's and reboots that never seem to end and come out of nowhere. That or your device doesn't even flash at all. This occurred to me when I attempted to leave Oneplus's ALPHA Build of Lollipop for the device. In fact, some of my partitions were downright gone. Now before you run off and try to re flash CM11S, there are some things you should know. There is a high possibility it will fail and you will be enjoying a $350 brick. For help with such, view this tool here. However if you haven't gotten to this point yet and still have access to recovery, fastboot, etc... then this guide is here for you (and anyone else needing to fix their partitions)!
Repairing Your File System
> Connect your device to your computer while booted into Android
> Make sure Root Access for ADB is enabled in Developer Options
> If Developer Options are not enabled on your device go to Settings > About and tap Build Number 5 times. Now Developer Options will be displayed in Settings
> Press Windows + R, type "cmd" and press Enter
> Type:
Code:
adb devices <press enter>
Your Device should be displayed in a list below. If it is not showing up, try a different USB port and check to make sure you have all of your device drivers installed.
> Next Type:
Code:
su <press enter>
fsck_msdos -p -y /dev/block/vold/179:9 <press enter>
> And:
Code:
fsck_msdos -p -y /dev/block/vold/259:3 <press enter>
If your device's partitions need to be repaired, you will be prompted with a yes or no option.
> Type:
Code:
Y <press enter>
And you're done!
> Note: Since different devices may have different mounts, you can check yours by typing this command in Terminal Emulator :
Code:
mount | grep sdcard <press enter>
> Congratulations! Your partitions should be good to go! Happy flashing

There is some discrepancy in these instructions. It sounds like you're implying we use Windows to perform the above commands but 'fsck' is not a Windows-compatible command. You even say to press the Windows key + R and run 'cmd' which to me says Windows, but grep is def not Windows....what's the deal?
I really would love to be able to do this, but these instructions have me baffled. Can you please help?

There aren't any discrepancies in this tutorial. If you pay attention those commands are being given to the connected Android device via adb, that's why they're Linux commands, because they're being issued to a Linux device.
Transmitted via Bacon
You're correct! Apparently I was not in the platform-tools directory in windows when issuing the adb commands which is why they weren't working for me. My bad.
I think you meant to write that users need to enter the commands like su, fsck in adb shell....
Is that it?
Anyway, I have an OPO in recovery mode, the the devices you mention are not appearing (i.e. there is no /dev/block/vold/179:9 )
C:\Users\Admin\Desktop\android-sdk-windows\platform-tools>adb devices

'su' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.

Here is my adb/fastboot folder
https://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=4238479&d=1502448621
I suggest adding the folder to the windows environmental variables then you can run the adb command from any window you launch CMD/terminal from & you won't have to navigate to the adb folder
Note if you using the power shell in Windows 10 with fastboot you may have to type ./fastboot
yep powershell was the issue, running cmd works fine, thx

If you want to use powershell add the folder to the environmental values in Windows (control panel system environmental values)
And start the commands with a ./ if it says unknown batch operation
Got my G5 today and tried to unlock its bootloader. Motorola USB drivers installed, adbdriver and latest windows ADB Tools extracted.
Following this guide (maybe a mod could correct the wrong "adb devices" command in the first post) running adb devices in my adb folder via CMD I get
Code:
List of devices attached
* daemon not running. starting it now at tcp:5037 *
*daemon started successfully *
followed by two two emty lines as output. Repeating the command adb devices the same, just two emty lines.
Serial Number can also be found when entering fastboot screen on the phone itself anyway, no? That's where I see it between
Code:
Product/Variant: cedric XT1676 16GB P5
Serial Number: AA12345678XX
CPU: MSM8937
According Motorola serial number and that step is not even needed.
Running the fastboot oem get_unlock_data command "the returned string will be used to retrieve your unlock key". This is how this string is supposed to look like:
Code:
$ fastboot oem get_unlock_data
(bootloader) 0A40040192024205#4C4D3556313230

(bootloader) 1A3E5#1F53280002000000000000000
(bootloader) 0000000
instead I get like this (using dummy code from above):
Code:
(bootloader) slot-count: not found
(bootloader) slot-suffixes: not found
(bootloader) slot-suffixes: not found
...
(bootloader) 0A40040192024205# (16 characters as above, fine)

(bootloader) 8A672BA4746C2CE02328A2AC0C39F9511111111# (same here, 40 characters is my output instead of [B]31[/B])
(bootloader) 1A3E51F532800020000000000000000 (32 characters instead of [B]31[/B])
OKAY [ 0,107s]
finished. total time: 0,108s
Put it into the Unlock Data Scrub, just in case, but get a "your device does not qualify for bootloader unlocking".
No SIM Card(s) have been inserted yet nor did any connection to the internet took place.
Anyone got an idea what's wrong?

All the outputs look correct to me
Either
1 - you haven't entered the code correctly - copy it into a text editor first & tidy up any spaces before copying it to website
2 - you are using a amazon variant which cannot be unlocked
There is a typo it should be adb devices
Follow the instructions on the Motorola boot loader unlock site especially the part how to copy & past codes from terminal window as some codes you need to remove the line brakes so
123
456
789
Becomes 123456789 and of course you need to remove the (bootloader) parts too so it's just the code on a single line

Had to correct the last line I wrote in my post at first, those 32 characters don't have any # in it.
I'm wondering why I have more characters than the number in Motorola's example - this can't be wrong? Also four lines instead of five.
I made sure controlling it several times that the code is correct, manually and by using also Data Scrub, just in case.
The phone itself is a retail one, also says so under Android -> Phone status -> Software Channel -> reteu.
Wouldn't want to start the phone/use it with all that google crap on it. AFWall+ with Googles IP Range is just a workaround.
A Replicant ROM will be great for the future.

I also assume you have installed the Motorola drivers & have enabled usb debugging and are using the adb & fastboot from the Android sdk which you have installed from

Yes, those are the ones I used.
Got it work now! I did a clean ADB install in a VM and got it working there! :good:
@Suman117
Thank you for your guide. But would you mind correcting your first post, so other users don't run into the same disturbances I did?
I suggest to change the order of the steps, just after Step 2: before turning the smartphone off, go ahead with Step 5, 6 and 7. Step 7 should read "adb devices", not "adb device", as some other readers have mentioned already. First, this is useful to grant adb authoration (at the phones display). Second, when the phone is in fastboot mode, the command is "fastboot devices", not "adb devices".
So basically: New Step 2a: Type "adb devices" and grant permission.
Correction for step 7: "fastboot devices"
Suman117 said:
First, enable the Developer option in your setting Go to Settings>About Phone> tap in Built Number multiple times un till the toast You are a developer now appears.
Now Go to Developer option it will appear in Settings and find and enable OEM Unlock by sliding the button. A warning will appear just Confirm that.
Turn Off Your smartphone.
Press Volume Button and Power button simultaneously and hold it for few seconds. This will boot your device into fast boot mode.
Now Open the ADB Tool Folder and Go to SDK> Platform Tools and right click pressing the Shift Key on your Keyboard and select Open Command here.
Connect your device via USB cable ( good quality cable suggested for uninterrupted use).
Type the command adb device you will see a serial number in the comment prompt screen if not then you missed some step.
Now go to website Click here. Read the information given if you wish and click on Next button to proceed next step.
You the Page will ask you to sign incomplete the process by signing with you Motorolla account or Google Account.
Now go the Command Prompt and type fastboot oem get_unlock_data.
Now a new serial code will appear in your command prompt screen you have to copy the entire code.
Now open this link and paste the code in the tool. then select the entire code and paste that code in point 6 on Moto require Unlock Tool Website.
Now Click on the I Agree Button a Get Unlock Code will appear on the screen.
Click on the Button.
An Unlock Code will appear.
Now again go to the Command Prompt screen and type fast oem unlock ************. “*****” will replace your unique key.
A warning screen will appear in command just retype the same command and hit enter.
Done!!!

[UPDATE #1] I've added a zip file with the 2 scripts, with UNIX line endings , as suggested below by @aftvNews . Cheers.
[UPDATE #2] I've added a zip file with the 2 extra scripts to go into /etc/init.d, as requested by @Axecaster . These will need the same ownership and permissions as enableotg. They disable SELinux and set the permissions on the recovery directories. Cheers.
Having had a look around the android image on my Fire TV Stick (v1) [ FireOS 5.2.1.1 @rbox ] I found that a script, which doesn't exist, called /system/bin/factoryadb.sh was being run by /init.build.rc on boot.
I was able to create a simple script to run scripts in /etc/init.d on boot.
UPDATE (05/04/19): Now I've got root access on my FireTV Gen 2 [ FireOS 5.2.6.9 ] I can see the see these instructions will also work, although the OTG enabling is not needed
NOTE: I've only tested this on a 1st generation Fire TV Stick but may work on Fire TV boxes if they also call /system/bin/factoryadb.sh from /init.build.rc
Before you do this please make sure factoryadb.sh is NOT on your FireTV and that it is called from /init.build.rc by connecting to your FireTV via adb and running the following commands
Code:
adb shell
su
grep factoryadb /init.build.rc && ls -l /system/bin/factoryadb.sh
Hopefully this will return
Code:
service factoryadb /system/bin/factoryadb.sh
/system/bin/factoryadb.sh: No such file or directory
Now continue ...
My factoryadb.sh script
Code:
#!/system/bin/sh
#
# Execute all scripts in /etc/init.d
if [ -d /etc/init.d ]
then
for f in `ls /etc/init.d/* 2>/dev/null`
do
if [ -s ${f} ]
then
echo Executing ${f} ... >/dev/kmsg
/system/bin/sh ${f}
fi
done
fi
NOTE: Make sure this file has UNIX line endings only. Notepad++ has an option to specify UNIX line endings.
I also have a simple script to enable OTG which I called enableotg, again MUST have UNIX line endings.
Code:
#!/system/bin/sh
echo 1 > /sys/devices/platform/bcmpmu_otg_xceiv/host
Connect to the Fire TV Stick via adb and run the following commands
Code:
adb push factoryadb.sh /sdcard/
adb push enableotg /sdcard/
adb shell
su
mount -o remount,rw /system
mkdir /etc/init.d
cp /sdcard/factoryadb.sh /system/bin/
cp /sdcard/enableotg /etc/init.d/
chown 0:0 /system/bin/factoryadb.sh /etc/init.d /etc/init.d/enableotg
chmod 755 /system/bin/factoryadb.sh /etc/init.d /etc/init.d/enableotg
mount -o remount,ro /system
reboot
When the FireTV Stick has rebooted then reconnect via adb and run the following commands
Code:
adb shell
su
dmesg | grep -e factoryadb -e Executing -e bcmpmu
You should see something similar to
Code:
<6>[ 3.005279] bcmpmu_otg_xceiv bcmpmu_otg_xceiv: Probing started...
<6>[ 3.007690] bcmpmu_otg_xceiv bcmpmu_otg_xceiv: Probing successful
<3>[ 4.998016] init: Warning! Service factoryadb needs a SELinux domain defined; please fix!
<4>[ 5.573242] Executing /etc/init.d/enableotg ...
<6>[ 5.579040] bcmpmu_otg_xceiv bcmpmu_otg_xceiv: Switching to Host
All is working and OTG should be working about 5 seconds after leaving the TWRP screen and long before Android has finished booting.
If you have an ethernet dongle attached it should have an IP address before the launcher starts
NOTE: The SELinux warning can be safely ignored.
Hope this helps.
Nicely done. Clever using the missing factoryadb.sh to roll your own init.d.
Might be easier for some if you just upload/attach your factoryadb.sh and enableotg files that others can download, so there's no need to worry about proper UNIX line endings.
Worked nicely on one of my gen 1 sticks running 5.2.4.1_r2.
OTG works for USB pendrive?

Doh! Completely missed the section to "Attach Files" when I was writing the post
I've now added a zip file with the 2 scripts with UNIX line endings to the post.
Cheers
Awesome job figuring out this was possible! I can confirm the init.d part works just fine on the FireTV-v1 on Rbox v5.2.4.1_r2 (didn't test OTG scripts as I already have a full USB port).
I am going to be adding in your init.d support to my Playing with Fire MOD for the next release.
Now just got to get PS3 / Xbox One controller kernel plugins compiled and working for the Gen1 devices now that init.d works. :good:

I tried this on fire tv stick 1, usb storage does not work.
dmesg shows my Kingston USB pendrive being recognized by kernel,
but registered driver debus_usbdev ?
So I guess kernel doesn't have USB storage driver?

Does this enable the use of USB storage ? as ive had this setup for over 6 months now to enable usb pheripal support on boot (with a script booter). If not i guess its still good to do away with the extra apk i had installed to enable my script at boot.
What does this actually do? My FireTV already can read from usb drives.

Seems mainly for gen 1 sticks to enable usb peripherals. Each boot requires a command to be re-run to recognize usb keyboards, mice, wired networking port, etc. Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but this configuration could in-theory assign multiple scripts to run on boot without extra apps installed.

Yes Gen2 sticks and the main FireTV's seem to have OTG already enabled but Gen1 sticks don't.
However even though I've only specified enabling OTG in my initial post, as Axecaster mentioned I do in fact have a number of scripts in /etc/init.d that run on boot.
e.g. Set SELinux to Permissive, set full R/W access on the recovery directories, cleanup some temp files on boot etc
I'm currently checking to see if I can set a static IP on the USB Ethernet adapter I use with my Gen1 stick which will most likely result in a new script in /etc/init.d
I also need to investigate the USB storage options more though. Might be the same issue as I'm having with NFS mounts. I can mount an NFS share but currently only root can see it!
Hope this helps.

Have you checked or modified your "persist-usb-config" file yet? If your's has different values than this (from a FireTV-Box) edit it to match mine and see if that helps.
Code:
[email protected]:/ # cat /data/property/persist.sys.usb.config
diag,serial_smd,serial_tty,rmnet_bam,mass_storage,adb
As for your NFS shares issue you are going to need to do a Bind Mount to get non-root users able to access the directory. Im using the same bind-mount method to get a bunch of additional GApps installed on the FireTV by binding folders in /data/local/ --> /system/priv-app and using your /etc/init.d/ discovery to launch it automatically on boot.
[email protected]: # mkdir /data/local/nfs && chmod 0755 /data/local/nfs && chown 0:0 /data/local/nfs
init.d startup script:
Code:
#!/system/bin/sh
NFSPATH=/path/to/nfs
NFSDATA=/data/local/nfs
(mount -o bind $NFSPATH $NFSDATA) ; (mount -o remount nosuid,nodev,noexec,reltime,async $NFSPATH)

Result:
Code:
[email protected]:/ # cat /data/property/persist.sys.usb.config
[B]adb[/B][email protected]:/ #
I pulled the file, replaced "adb" with "iag,serial_smd,serial_tty,rmnet_bam,mass_storage,adb", pushed it back and rebooted the device.
Result: ADB is disabled and otg doesn't seem to work (usb flash drive)
Enabling ADB sets the file back to "adb" and after a reboot otg is working again.
after installing xposed framework on the fire tv stick this method for otg on boot not longer works.
any solutions?

Hmm. I installed this method after xposed framework. As far as I'm aware, everything seems to be working.

So only setup your scripts after you are done flashing a PreRooted ROM &/or SuperSU &/or XPosed Framework. So in other words only after your done messing with things that mess with /System in TWRP. Or you will have to reset them again.

Hi SimLynks,
Thanks for your suggestion. The bind mount did make the directory available for the non-root user but unfortunately it's contents were still only visible to the root user
I'll keep on trying
Cheers.

[UPDATE #2] I've added a zip file with the 2 extra scripts to go into /etc/init.d, as requested by Axecaster. These will need the same ownership and permissions as enableotg. They disable SELinux and set the permissions on the recovery directories. Cheers.

Can this be used in some way to enable otg while at the TWRP countdown bar ( as to use keyboard/mouse/airmouse within TWRP), As it's a whole lot easier to use than the ADB mouse, having to plug firestick into laptop/computer if you need to be in recovery, if it is possible it could be easier.
I use the airmouse/keyboard method myself when I go I to recovery but have to use my home made otg cable and swap over usb to computer after running the command to usb dongle for the airmouse (melee F10 pro). After the command has run while plugged into my laptop I unplug the laptop connection and plug in my dongle and I navigate TWRP with my remote.
It is any chance that we can enable OTG on no-rooted devices of firetv gen 1 ?I have firmware 5.2.6.7 so I think there is no way I can root the device. Thanks!

Sorry. Unfortunately you need root access to change the OTG value on the FireTV gen 1
