[Kindle Fire Android Development] powercrim:
Please help! Accidentally did a wipe /system in TWRP and now get the message "exec '/system/bin/sh' failed: No such file or directory". How can this be a fix?:(
[Kindle Fire Android Development] adbirdie:
Having no experience with the fire, my guess would be to use the USB mount in twrp put on cm7 flash it.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] powercrim:
Now I have nothing else works except ADB. I tried to copy the system dir by

adb push "D:\sdf\system" /sytem

but in result received message:

push: D:\sdf\system/app/Windowshop.apk -> /sytem/app/Windowshop.apk

failed to copy 'D:\sdf\system/app/Windowshop.apk' to '/sytem/app/Windowshop.apk'

: No such file or directory

What am I doing wrong?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] JackpotClavin:
You need to flash a zip in recovery try cm7
[Kindle Fire Android Development] powercrim:
With TWRP I flashed stock firmware, then decided to wipe everything. So now I have no recovery. Just sign on the screen "Kindle fire"

When I try to do adb shell I get the message "exec '/ system / bin / sh' failed: No such file or directory"

Sorry for my poor English.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] alchemyst:
If you flashed stock firmware with TWRP, then can you just not do that again?

I didnt think wiping system wiped recovery.... In fact, im sure it doesnt as I wiped system yesterday when I flashed CM7.

About the adb push thing not working. Not tried, but does ADB recognise windows formatted paths? Seems like it doesnt. Move what you are trying to copy into the adb directory and try again.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] JackpotClavin:
Oh lord stock overwrites the recovery. Looks like your device is broken permanently, the same thing happened to me and my first kindle. Unless you can get yourself a factory cable you are going to need to get a new one
[Kindle Fire Android Development] powercrim:
Sad :(

factory cable? Where I can get it? Can be solder?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] alchemyst:
Im confused, sorry. If you flash Stock using TWRP, and this means you lose recovery, how can you then do a system wipe using TWRP?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] ck_looi:
you can wipe system...but you can't flash stock firmware, as it will install stock recovery, then you lose function over your TWRP recovery, hence the whole process halt!
[Kindle Fire Android Development] warren2781:
Maybe you can flash twrp with the fastboot command. If you still get recognized by adb devices you are not totally lost.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] ttabbal:
That was my thought too. Could you use idme to set the boot mode to fastboot then use that to flash twrp and firefirefire? Even if idme isn't available, you can adb push it from a computer.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] powercrim:
when i try "adb shell" i get message "exec '/system/bin/sh' failed: No such file or directory"'.

What exactly should I push?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] wtphoto:
when your fire boots to the "kindle fire" screen connect it to comp and try running the "fastboot devices" command and see if it will recognize it, if it does then you are ok we can fix it if. make sure you are in <your path to sdk>/platform-tools to try the fastboot commands.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] JackpotClavin:
I had this problem with my first kindle. Afaik there's no way to get into fastboot without a factory cable in the current state that it's in. He's missing the sh binary that actually lets you go into the shell. He can't push to the system because he doesn't have the su binary so he cannot remount. There's no way to push files to a PATH location as they are all read only unless you're root. He needs a factory cable or he's screwed.

As for the cable itself, if you Google tbh Motorola factory cable you'll find it. You can also make one from an existing cable, just google around for a guide
[Kindle Fire Android Development] powercrim:
many thanks =). This cable looks easy, I'll try

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JG96EVO:
B4 i switched to ICS i was running Miui with the trinity 1544 kernel and my NS4G would score higher than my rooted oc'd 1.6 dual core GS2.. I would get consistent 5000+ on my NS4g and my GS2 gets around 4400's
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stkiswr:
I could care less about an io hack haha. Stock for stock my ns4g doesn't compare to a sprint gs2. Period.

I'm all too familiar w trinity. The 25 mflops. The buss speed increase. Hell i can input a command to trick quadrant into producing ridiculous numbers. I hope you don't think I am arguing w you when I say that the et4g Or gs2 on sprint is superior currently in terms of hardware and speed to almost every other android in production right now.

We purchased ours due to my wife releasing her epic 4g from an 8 foot drop to concrete. I don't care if it ever gets ics. On gb it easily surpasses my ns4g and her old epic w ease. I'm amazed it doesn't get more attention than the countless reviews pointing out all the sweet stuff it does. We have 0 Los issues and for me, until a better phone (in terms of hardware) comes out I am 100% content w it. I can't compare a modded nexus to the gs2 due to the fact that even my ns4g, at the time, running 4800 quadrants (which are meaningless due to massive io hack) still couldn't compete w its bigger more powerful counterpart. Its like comparing and Xbox to an Xbox 360

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Accessories] speedofheat:
I bought the same case in black from a local store here for about US$35. Very nice case and plays a nice contrast with my white Note.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mjchung:
So I was at Coex Mall in Seoul a few hours ago and walked through the Samsung display area. It's an open area--maybe 10m by 3--used as a permanent installation to display Samsung's newest products. They had about 9 LTE Galaxy Notes, a few Galaxy Tab 8.9 LTEs, and a smattering of Galaxy II HD LTEs.

I realize a few hours later that the only Nexus there was the one in my pocket.

My guess is because the LTE Note has gotten such dismal press:

http://asia.cnet.com/blogs/lte-samsung-galaxy-note-isnt-welcome-in-korea-62212571.htm

Koreans love their styli and big screen PMPs, but even handwriting recognition and a large, beautiful screen to watch their DMB isn't enough to outweigh the expensive LTE plans and the gimped Snapdragon legs it runs on. It's sold horribly as a result. KT (another carrier) has even gone to the lengths of offering unlimited 3g data plans during a limited promotion to boost sales.

So I guess it makes sense that the Nexus has been benched from this promotional spot. It's gotten good press, and is selling like hotcakes (I can't find a damned case for this phone ANYWHERE. They're being bought faster than they can put them out). I suppose that the Nexus doesn't quite fit in with the rest of the Galaxy family. It's like the normal quiet kid genius in a family of flashy, loud mouthed celebrities.

I suppose this is more of a Galaxy Note issue than a Galaxy Nexus issue, but I thought it would be an interesting thing to share with a community that has given so much to me. :D
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dipson626:
Nice to hear from someone else here in Korea ^^

Here in Daegu, it's been a little different. The Nexus, like you said, can't be found anywhere. The Samsung stores here said they won't be getting anymore in this year. As for the Note, its sold out here too, but they do have a steady stream of them coming in.

I can't find a case or anything either. I'm using a GS II HD screen protector and found a Dell Streak pouch on Gmarket for now.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] NexJets:
I'm interested in buying the Nexus here in Korea but I can only find the non-LTE version. Does anyone know if there are plans to sell the LTE version in Korea?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] martonikaj:
Doubt it. The only LTE version that has been made is for Verizon US.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] samizad:
I saw the Nexus LTE version in the GALAXY shop (near the Megabox cinema) in Coex mall about 2 weeks ago. They only had three units and the crowds were ignoring them for the Note.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dipson626:
Not saying you're wrong, but as far as I know there is no LTE version except the Verizon variant. The GNexus is available for KT or SKT and both have WCDMA and GSM antennas.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Crazy CS:
I was in Japan a few weeks ago and the SGS2 HD LTE is definately getting a lot of attention. However NTT Docomo have Android/SGN posters plastered all over Tokyo.

[Thunderbolt Android Development] racereddy20:
I'd like to say thanks. I rooted three Thunderbolts after the 12-15-11 using this method. I had rooted a thunderbolt a week before the OTA. I know that I didn't accept the OTA as it was my own thunderbolt. I woke up in the morning and the phone was in a constant loop. It would boot all the way up to the home screen, sit there for about 30 seconds and then reboot. I had to factory data wipe the phone to fix it. Talk about a big inconvenience. Regardless, just wanted to say thanks.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] racereddy20:
Now the problem I'm having is the rooted phones keep getting a ninja attack from big red late at night causing them to boot loop in the morning. The only way to fix it is to boot into recovery and clear the cache partition. Then overnight it'll happen again. Any ideas?

I got this phone about a week ago with all the updates already installed. it is 2.11.605.9

Thanks a lot for your help
[Thunderbolt Android Development] smoody:
I downloaded the 2.11.605.5 rom from the link on the first post of this thread, my md5 matches but I am unable to open the .zip file and look inside, says "the compressed zip file is invalid or corrupted" that is trying to browse it using the windows zip utility, I am able to unzip it with z7 and see the files, just curious as I am able to open and look inside all the other .zip files with windows explorer default zip utility with no errors

last thing I want to do is flash a bad file to my fully stock thunderbolt on 2.11.605.9

Lastly the hboot file in the AndroidPolice_PG05IMG_Mecha_2.11.605.5 directory is (hboot_7630_1.05.0000_110719.nb0) I currently have 1.04.000 on my phone stock, does this matter?

Has anybody figured out WHY this works?? Because.....yeah it shouldn't....right? I am certainly not doubting anyone tho. It's just very strange considering even when unlocking with htcdev you still can't go backward in firmware versions without flashing the misc partition.

Sent from my HTC Thunderbolt
[Thunderbolt Android Development] movielover76:
Custom unlock better than htcdev

This has always worked, a process like this was part of how we rooted the phone to begin with, (the process I used on my launch day phone took a long time) before the revolutionary method, htcdev may unlock the bootloader, but htc is still exercising so level of control over the device. I guess it's just a benefit of an xda unlock :)
[Thunderbolt Android Development] demonike84:
I am still unable to root it says "main version older" I have searched all over with no luck, anyone have any ideas?
[Thunderbolt Android Development] smtom:
Maybe uninstall the HTC drivers, delete the folder with the revolutionary exploit, reboot machine, download fresh copies of them and try again.

Also, make sure there is no other PB file on the root of the FAT32 formatted SD card, and then choosing update > yes when it is seen by device in the HBOOT menu.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] JBO1018:
No it hasn't. The original s-off method for the TB did involve downgrading to older firmware but before you could do that you had to gain temp root and flash the misc partition so you didn't get the "main version older" or "security warning" errors.

Edit: missed this...

Interesting that it would work for some and not others.

Question after I downgrade and root can I just flash 2.11.605.9 or even let OTA upgrade me?
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Turd Furguson:
No and No.

If you are going to go to .9, make sure that is it rooted. That is a must.

Do not let OTA upgrade you or you will be back in the same spot again and you will have to get s-off once more.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Havoc70:
Ok a question. I had S-off before .9 and i still have it now on the OTA of .9. Can i root? or do i have to go back to .5?

Here is my CWR(5.0.2.1) from my drop box account. Just rename it the correct way. If it worked, make sure you remove from the root of sdcard before you boot into bootloader next time. If you don't remove you will be in bootloader loop. Flash it from hboot. I also included Superuser.zip to flash from CWR.

I am trying to root another phone now and have a problem with this downgrade.

I went through the downgrade in the boot loader and it was successful. The phone then rebooted as normal. Now, every time I go into the boot loader it automatically starts the downgrade again. How many times must it do this?
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Droid0351:
When the phone reboots, go into sdcard move the downgrade zip from the root of your sdcard to specific folder like downloads folder. Use a file manager to do this, now you can boot into the bootloader without it starting the process again. Rule of thumb, always remove a pb file from root of sdcard so you will not end up in a bootloop.

would this be the same as if i removed the file off the sd completely via computer disk drive??
