Hey,

I know this is an old thread but still if u have not resolved the problem with ADB and USB follow these instruction:

Before we start:

My mobile is Spice Mi-410 (Qualcomm made), also known as Cherrymobile magnum, Wellcomm, Motorola triumph in different countries. So may be these tweak will not work with your device. (But you can give it a try ;))

I hope you know how to unpack recovery.img of your device (or boot.img if your recovery ramdisk is stored in boot.img like Xperia Arc) if not then follow this guide to unpack recovery.img and extract recovery ramdisk into a folder.

Tweak

For ADB: Open init.rc file from recovery ramdisk/initram using any editor of your choice

Put this line at the end of "on init" section

write /sys/module/g_android/parameters/product_id ####

where #### should be replaced by your device's product id.

(if you dont know what it is then connect your mobile to PC and issue "lsusb" command in ubuntu terminal, you should see something like this

Bus 001 Device 027: ID 0489:c000 Foxconn / Hon Hai

Here c000 is my devices product id and Foxconn is my device's manufacturer)

Though /sys/module/g_android is not present in our device but this worked for me.

Please note that the device id is case sensitive, so write what you see on PC :)

For USB: For this add following line at the end of "on boot" section in init.rc file

echo 1 > /sys/class/usb_composite/usb_mass_storage/enable

For your device first confirm the location of /sys/class/ ###### / ####/usb_mass_storage/enable

Since this location vary from device to device.

This should enable usb storage mounting from recovery.

Best of luck!!

One option for load rootfs image in native mode is necesary

[EVO 4G General] Indirect:
I'm sure this was probably already suggested but instead of trying to fool/force the bootloader to go s-off or something, why not try this (warning: stupid content ahead) You could actually push a known exploitable source such as flash (wait until latest update, flash is known for being better than swiss cheese when it comes to holes) and trying to get that to have an arbitrary code injection. Why not instead of treating it like android and linux, just treat it as linux. :D

I'm not an android dev but I was just offering thoughts.

Or you could even just start poking through apk's that are allowed system level access if there are any without root and make an apk to gain system access to break in by tricking the file system?
[EVO 4G General] Vegasden:
I left the more accurate points made by the OP in the quote.

If you're no dev, then this is not the place to be posting.

......
[EVO 4G General] Omgadroid:
Well its good of you to post ideas and sorry this section is full of flamers
[EVO 4G General] bizarrogreg:
I don't think it is appropriate to insult someone for offering suggestions, regardless of whether you feel they are right or not. Progress does not exist without new ideas, which more often than not, are wrong.

Try some helpful input instead of just being rude.
[EVO 4G General] Omgadroid:
Posted something in this thread I think certain people need to read
[EVO 4G General] Vinny702:
no need to be rude...
[EVO 4G General] waterboy100:
It's not really rude. Just kind of accurate.
[EVO 4G General] Indirect:
I'm just offering suggestions. It actually was rude.

Cover your phone with gorilla glue, put a mixture of seeds on the glue. Dig a 12 inch hole and bury your phone. Water it everyday for 6 weeks. Dig up your phone and shazam! Rooted
[EVO 4G General] Indirect:
Psh, 6 weeks is too long. Just nail the damn thing to a tree. Technically, rooted.
[EVO 4G General] androidsupra:
I like your method. Is this the final result of your attempt at root. Or did this non dev poster hit too close to one of your ideas and you want to discourage him before someone else beats you to it.
[EVO 4G General] .torrented:
This is actually quite funny and I think someone needs to open a new thread in the gen. forums along the lines of android/phone jokes... we need some good humor now and then (along w/ the dirty minded stuff)

edit* sorry this has nothing to do with OP
[EVO 4G General] FSPKwon:
rofl this is why i love my xda fam, the good and the bad its all funny,

but to stay on topic:

This has more than likely already been thought about so as android is android,

and java is java, and linux is linux, programs without root access are sandboxed, and only programs with root access can run as root, and if user does not have some way shape or form access to the superuser then there is no way there can be any permission changes to anything above the current users, or programs sandbox, if that makes any sense....

I think this is the funniest post so far. :cool:
[EVO 4G General] Mark_Hardware:
Free thinkers are dangerous
[EVO 4G General] webs05:
Since no one answered I'll take a shot. There would need to be a permissions escalation exploit in flash or other app for this to work. Others have thought of this for sure already and you first need to find an exploit in flash or some other app.

Likely if any exploits do exist no one knows about them. We don't need people to suggest the idea at a high level. We need people to search and find such exploits. Or figure out another way.

It's either a waiting game or buy a new phone.

JUST REMEMBER ONE BIG HUGE THING! WHEN YOU FIND A BUG. PLZ PLZ PLZ PLZ PLZ DO NOT IN ANY FORM OR WAY POST IT ONLINE!

NEVERNEVERNEVERNEVERNEVER

That's because sprint and HTC monitor these threads 100% OF THE DAY. in fact, I know for a fact that a few of these guys that talk on here all the time are employees and little rats. they won't come out and say it because this is what their job is. to monitor us.

Send the Information to a few limited dev's and wait for a response.

ACTUALLY!!!! I think another way to do this is to make a thread*not thread, but like a folder/area we can make threads* and put a lock on it to prevent anyone under 300ish posts from even reading them. :-D then that thread will only have the smarter guys in it or people that have been around for a while. :-D

LMAO!!!! okay, now to do what I just said not to do....... okay, so tell me guys. where does the OTA get saved at? That certain object has root. Is it possible to send us an OTA over the radio over our OWN radio? you know those radio booster things they send customers when they are too far out for service that the customer hooks up to their wifi? I wonder if it is possible to hack that and get it to think you're downloading a new OTA but really would be changing it to root. lol. actually. I honestly think that would truely work.

I didn't really word that right. but I think you guys get the point. I know it is possible. cause think about it. if the thing is going through YOUR OWN network... you control what is on your own network. :-D therefore, you could tell it anything you wanted it to know. :-D
[EVO 4G General] soldierforchrist2:
Yeah, but wouldn't the image you push as a fake OTA need to be signed like everything else? Maybe we could trick the OS into installing an older OTA, but even then I bet it would give an error about the version being older.

Still, anyone know how one could try to trick it? I believe the updates are stored in cache, and otherwise I don't know how the system knows that there is an update downloaded and ready to be installed.
[EVO 4G General] Lokifish Marz:
I'm a Sprint employee but I'm more of a bear than rat:D
[EVO 4G General] bkrodgers:
It's not so much that the OTA "has root." What allows the OTA to update is the fact that it's been signed using HTC's key. The bootloader is designed to only allow signed images to flash, unless you have S-OFF. But you don't get S-OFF without root. Generally, brute force attacks on such keys are considered impractical with current hardware. So we rely on finding a security flaw in the software that allows us in through a back door.

There's no way to just "fool" the phone into thinking it's flashing a signed ROM. It doesn't have anything to do with the network. Unless you get your hands on that key, we have to wait for an exploit to be found.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zamana:
My previous phone was a Motorola "Motoronga" Milestone. Before flashing a new firmware, it was necessary know the frequencies/radios/basebands used in your country by your carrier. For example, in Brazil, Vivo carrier uses these frequencies: 850/1900/2100MHz. I used to use this page as reference:

http://and-developers.com/sbf:milestone#section201

It seems that with the Galaxies S/S2 it's somewhat different. And I see a lot of people with doubts about this subject. It seems that ANY firmware, of ANY country/region, of ANY carrier will work on this phone. But I'm not sure.

Is there somebody that can explain this? I'm not asking for a reply with a line or two, but a really full explanation about how all this stuff works regarding Samsung and the Galaxies phones.

And, of course, if this is already explained anywhere else, just tell me where.

Thanks.

Regards.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pepemosca:
This has something to do with these: wiki. cyanogenmod.com /wiki/Samsung_Galaxy_S_II:_Support_Downloads (is a link, but I cannot post as it)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RogerPodacter:
since the SGS2 now has all the bands in one model, so they didnt have to make different models with different region's frequencies, this is likely why all models work with all firmwares. because it includes all the bands needed (except tmobile usa of course).

[Optimus One, P500, V General] vinsous72:
Ok guys thank you for the info I remember, but watch my English just google so please spare me the errors :-)

So "indian65" you say that if I went under my BACKUP of V10r I can start my updates via LGMDP??

no risk of brik the phone and saw that my custom kernel??

Ok les gars merci pour l'info je retiens, mais attention mon anglais vient de google alor svp epargne moi les fautes :-)

Donc "indian65" tu dit qui si je retourne sous mon BACKUP de la V10r je peut recommencer mes mises a jour via LGMDP ???

aucuns risque de briké le téléphone vu que mon kernel et custom ???
[Optimus One, P500, V General] indian65:
Normaly, when you swich for your backup, you change your rom and your kernel, you have a official rom in your phone, the custom recovery in more

Just look in téléphone version what is write for are quiet

Normalement, quand tu reviens sur un backup, tu reinstalle la rom et le kernel d'origine, le recovery en plus

Tu as juste a vérifier la version de ton téléphone pour etre tranquille
[Optimus One, P500, V General] indian65:
It's true, I have a very poor english, I read, but I have many problems for writing, I'm apologize
[Optimus One, P500, V General] vinsous72:

[Motorola Droid 3] nerdslogic:
I have asked this on another board or 2 but what system version are you running? I have seen a different version on a store demo unit that is different than mine so I am curious if we all have the same version as owners.

Here is mine.
[Motorola Droid 3] lordgodgeneral:
Mine's the same as you have listed.
[Motorola Droid 3] elcapitaine:
all version and build numbers are identical in my phone to the ones you listed
[Motorola Droid 3] :
Ditto

ditto, my is the same as yours.
[Motorola Droid 3] noahsark3:
Same as OP again. The demo unit might have shipped a little early so they could set up a display, missed out on the final revision.
[Motorola Droid 3] nerdslogic:
Hmm...didn't think about that....is it possible that they have another version purely for demo?
[Motorola Droid 3] elkay:
Go get a picture of that page on the demo unit. I'm very curious.

[Nook Color General] griffinmt:
Running cm7 off sdcard and just did something stupid.

I set the cpu speed up a notch (from 1200 to 1325) and raised the voltages up just one notch. And without setting it to go back to default on boot, I took the sd card out, loaded the nightly build (143), put it back into the nook and did a recovery boot.

It Applied the upgrade and I rebooted for a normal sdcard startup. After the home screen gets populated and all the routine icons appear (and looks normal) nothing more can happen. Touching any of the icons does nothing, and hitting the power button won't hide the screen. All I can do is press and hold the power button for about ten seconds to turn the unit off.

When booting to NC, all works as expected.

I really don't want to loose the other work I did over the last few days!!
[Nook Color General] stolenmoment:
Since it's the Nook Color Tweaks app that does the adjusting during boot, I'd pop the SD into some system that can handle a partitioned SD (Linux will absolutely work, Windoze probably not) and delete this folder and all contents:

/data/data/com.dalingrin.nookcolortweaks

This should blow away the settings. Put it back into your NC and try to boot. If that doesn't let you boot, do it all again (remove the above folder) but also remove

/data/app/com.dalingrin.nookcolortweaks-2.apk

You'll have to reinstall Nook Color Tweaks after this, but the settings should be back to default.

You may have to dig a bit to figure out the partitions, and their names probably won't make sense. For instance, on Linux it may be something like /media/sdc2/data or /media/B3-A7/data instead of /data/data. I forget how the SD install names the partitions, or if it names them at all.

If there's some recovery tool that'll let you do the above on the NC itself, somebody please post it here and let us all know.

Good luck!
[Nook Color General] griffinmt:
Thanks for that info, it makes sense to me.

I don't have a Linux system handy but may just build one for the heck of it.I suppose that would take more effort than just re-doing my work on the sd card however, but it would help me REMEMBER to make changes with a backup plan :rolleyes:

Cancel that previous idea! I don't have a spare system that contains an sd reader.

Perhaps a bootable cd/dvd that can access the sd partitions would be the right answer. If so, can anyone give me a 'shortcut' to build this or download a prebuilt iso image. Thanks.
[Nook Color General] stolenmoment:
I hear ya. I wouldn't've enjoyed my NC half as much if I'd been using Windoze to mess with it. I could just pop my SD into my office or home machine and have full access to everything. Very handy. Not being able to do that is the only downside to running from emmc that I've encountered so far. But I haven't had any disasters yet.
[Nook Color General] griffinmt:
I downloaded an iso image for Slax V6. Unfortunately its for a cd, and all I have are dvds. I suppose that it isn't possible to burn this to dvd and have it work :o
[Nook Color General] Goferbroke:
If you burn the img to a DVD, it should work (Isoburner is free and does a good job for that).

Slax 6? Is that a live cd image? You don't have to install Linux, you can use the distros that boot off of the cd/dvd when you burn the image, like Puppy, Linux Mint, or PCLinuxOS. You can get links to those at

http://www.distrowatch.com

If you're familiar with Linux, Slax is great, but if you haven't done a lot with it, I'd go with Mint or PCLinuxOS. Those distros are easy to use, and should have the tools you need. You can also download DVD's of those, if you like.
[Nook Color General] griffinmt:
While waiting, I found a flavor of slax to write to a thumb drive and make it bootable :D .

So I tried this out on a 4gb thumb. It boots fine, but when it runs startx, it just sits there :( . I can do a ctl-alt-del to reboot, but it is dead beyond that. I can boot it up to log on as root with just the cmd line input, but I am deperately lacking in the knowhow to navigate to access the sd drive :o .

And this is starting to look like it is becoming an 'off topic' thread, so I appologize to the subject gods.
[Nook Color General] griffinmt:
[Solved] Thanks for helping

Finally bit-the-bullet and just rebuild the sdcard, etc. :o

Was spending more time trying to recover than it would have taken to rebuild. :rolleyes:

[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Shaddy-Z.:
All of your problems except for "Camera issues" will be fixed as soon as S-OFF is available, and dev's will begin porting roms and developing roms. I expect overclocking to be tremendous with this dual core processor, since the mytouch 4g can now be clocked to over 2.0 ghz.

*If you want a file manager download astro from the market.

I forgot whether it requires root or not. If that one does, there are many other file managers just search.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] unclespoon:
Seems like the judgments are extra harsh and could all be solved by software, unrooting, etc. I'm stoked to be able to overclock to 2 GHz and then some. S-OFF on the MT4GS will be awesome!!!
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] aronck:
There are many very good free media players/music players on the market (ex. Tinyplayer) . Same with the file managers, Astro is recommended. That's what the market is there for, as they knew dovelopers could provide the device with excellent applications.
