Acer Iconia B1-720 Root

Hello.

I'm trying to root my new Iconia B1-720.

I've tried with the toolkit v0.8.5 from XDA, and it worked, apparently, it pulled de system image.tgz, modified it and wrote it back successfully to the tablet. Using adb shell I can see the new installed files, (busybox and it's links in xbin, su in bin), but testing for root access with root checker says it's not rooted. In the logs (adb bugreport) I found the following errors logged:

*** exec(/system/xbin/su): No such file or directory

*** /system/xbin/su: Exit code 255

That seems logic because "su" is installed in /system/bin, not /xbin, as:

-rwsr-sr-x root root 311872 2013-12-02 02:53 su

and executing it with -v says:

shell@b1-720:/system/bin $ ./su -v

15 com.koushikdutta.superuser

shell@b1-720:/system/bin $

but if i try to run any command as root: (par example lsof), i get:

/system/bin/su root lsof

255|shell@b1-720:/system/bin with 255 as error code.

I'm an experienced linux user, and can modify toolkit.py file to copy "su" in /xbin instead of /bin, but I'm afraid to brick my tablet.

What else can I try?

Thank you in advance, and thanks to ToolKit Acer Iconia v0.8.5 developer for a great work.

Galaxy S3 I9300 Liquidsmooth lollipop 5.0.2

Need help urgently!

I've installed liquidsmooth lollipop 5.0.2 in my Samsung Galaxy S3 and, although it sped up the phone considerably i've had some grave issues with it...

1) Loss of carrier signal - I can't make calls or receive them, can't send texts. When I try to access mobile networks definitions i get the error "Unfortunately the process com.android.phone was terminated" (I've tried some solutions I found online: Clear data, clear cache and reboot; disabling automatic timezone; etc.)

2) Problems conecting wifi - When I press the wifi icon on status bar most of the time it just keeps cicling on and off untill I reboot the phone;

Can anyone please help?!

I only started to read about FLASHING/ROMING/HACKING phone 2 days ago,, and therefore im noob!

Im unable to enter in FACTORY MODE. When im trying to access to FACTORY MODE (pressing simultanially the power button and volume down button), at the start (when logo appears) in the lower left side of the screen it shows a small text sayting exactlly this "=> FACTORY MODE" (it shows for only 2 seconds). After this time, that text information desapear and the cellphone stays stuck on the LOGO forever.

Althoug im able to acess “Android System Recovery <3e>” menu (pressing simultanially the power and volume up buttons). After this action, it appears in the screen the android mascot with a red exclamation box on it, allowing me to choose one of the following options:

- Reboot System Now (i have tryed and it does not fix the problem):

- Apply update from ADB:

- Apply update from sdcard:

- Apply update from cache:

- Wipe data/factory reset (i have tryed and it does not fix the problem):

- Wipe Cache partition (i have tryed and it does not fix the problem):

- Backup User data (i have tryed and it does not fix the problem):

- Restore user data (i have tryed and it does not fix the problem).

Whenever i try to power on the cellphone, it says stuck on the LOGO forever (even if i wait for one hour). I already have made the “Wipe data/factory reset” and now i have the following questions.

Questions:

1 – To repair my problema (crash on LOGO), i only need to instal a ROM pressing “Apply update from sdcard” at the Android System Recovery menu, or do i need also to install firmware (how do i install firmware)?

2- Concerning my specific issue, should i Flash ROM to solve it?

3 – If Flashing the ROM is necessary, should i do it with firmware mtk6589T, or can i make it with mtk6589 version?

My best regards to all of you fellas!

Your problem is that you don't have ClockworkMod Installed yet, only MagLdr. Go here and download the folder, it is a Daf.exe folder with configs in it. Once downloaded, Go to MagLdr Option "5. USB Flasher" wait for "Wait USB...USB" (phone needs to be connected to PC). Once done, you have to run the Daf.exe as Admin. But another thing is you have to edit the file Flash.cfg file but the flash.cfg.txt. and you have to edit the line "System ya 150M" and edit the 150M to the size specified in the OP of the rom you want to flash. Lets say for example OP asks for 400M so the line would read "System Ya 400M."

Learning porting

Hi there, i'm so glad that you, a recognized developer have stepped out and decided to give budding developers and newbies your support. For that i thank you loads. :)

[Q] I would like to learn how to port a certain rom to my device. Currently, i'm using LGP500 (optimus one) And i would like to learn porting. Basically, this is what's on my mind. I would like to port a gingerbread sense rom over to the p500 device.

The thing is, i'm not really sure where to start from. Can i firstly, build a cm7 rom, then after that start porting apks and launchers and ui elements all over? Or do i get a stable working sense rom, (currently its a froyo 2.2 sense rom) and start porting it over using cm7 libs?

Hope to get a reply from you soon. If you feel that there's too much to convey via posting, please do drop me a PM. Hope to hear from you soon!

Thanks loads! :)
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] samuel2706:
I think i know what you mean, i always use UOT Kitchen, its the best way pal. if not then you can download his ROM and see how he does it but don't steal his work!

best to learn from others then attempt to recreate it rather than starting right out. think of all the artists that had inspiration thats all you need man
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] samuel2706:
The problem with making sense to non sense is the kernels yes you can change libs/binaries and more but then you are left with the kernel which will lead to kernel graphical glitches and all sorts of problems i don't think i have yet seen a hundread percent fully working AOSP - SENSE port, i mean you can try by grep and nm to find things that fit each other, then you can port them over and fix errors via ADB LOGCAT :cool:
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] samuel2706:
The kernel source is the source HTC or your vendor puts out for you so developers can build kernels, without the source the kernel can not be built well it can but needs to be built from a similar device.

Libs control the various functions of the phone, for example

LIBEGL links the graphics to the phone, almost like a driver link.

EGL folder is the drivers and they must match LIBEGL.so from the same ROM, as well as libGLES_CM.SO and so on, i have a porting guide check it out man!

Heres my porting guide

Can't load Clockwork Mod on Samsung P3110

Hello.

I'm having a hard time loading clockwork mod on my Samsung Galaxy tab 2 7.0 (P3110 model) I've installed kies, downloaded odin, downloaded clockwork mod. When I've gone through the process, odin says it has loaded successfully. After the tablet has restarted, I turn it off and boot into recovery mode, and it just gives me the stock recovery menu (not clockwork mod). Apart from repeating the process many times, Ive also tried:

- TWRP - same result

- Different versions of Odin - 3.09 and 3.11 - same result

- All of the above on a different computer - same result

What am I missing here? It's driving me crazy!!
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] viper073:
UPDATE: I managed to find a work around.

I started by rooting my device first, then installed ROM Manager from the Play Store.

Bricked(?)

I flashed my Lenovo A7000a (MT6752) to update to android 6.0 (it was rooted)with the "format all then download" option on SP tool. Now when i try to switch it on it shows a blank screen and dies. When connect my phone (power button down ofcourse) to pc with the SPTool download button activated, I am able to flash my phone again, but result is the same. The autorun for LenovoSuite even pops up when I connect the phone to PC. I am thinking that I may have flashed the wrong/bad ROM to my phone, will update again

Update: Flashed with "download only" option with an older ROM, phone is able to boot, but with the same blank screen, I am able to off the screen and on again with the power button. Not able to boot into recovery mode, meta mode, or whatever, it just shows the same white blank screen.

Hello I'm in a little bit of a problem right now.

Here goes

I accidentally removed my stock system apps--Browser, Calculator, Camera, Gallery, PackageInstaller and the like.

I can't find any ROMs for Android Lollipop 5.1 the nearest I got are pac files but I don't actually want to flash the whole phone's rom, just want to copy the deleted ones. So if there are any one of you guys happened to have a Lollipop 5.1 ROM please help me.

Maybe PackageInstaller and HTMLViewer's fine for me. Most of my apps crash because I lost the two lol. Also can't install any app outside of Play Store.

I can't really afford a new phone btw and I'm pretty sure in the next few years I still can't.

I have a generic 5.1 Lollipop lol I'm a cheap guy I know. Any stock apps that run in 5.1 would do, my laptop broke too so I can't flash ROMs with pac files. To answer your question mine's Cherry Mobile Ace 2 I bought for less than $40 brand new. Cheap huh
