[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] JDubbed:
I just installed CWM v5.5.0.4 via download mode using this method. http://www.theandroidsoul.com/skyrocket-root-clockworkmod-cwm-recovery/

So now that I am in CWM I am trying to mount things like /system and it shows an error mounting /sdcard and I get that error messaging for mounting all except mount usb storage which works great. I was however able to get the file off my phone but now how do I get the file back to system/bin?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] DoctorQMM:
Yes.. you can (and really should) flash CWM from download mode via your PC/laptop. A few weeks ago I did something very similar and soft-bricked my SR by renaming an in-use file (framework-res.apk)... I also only had 3e, so couldn't just restore a nandroid or flash a rom zip. Go to the Dev section and find the thread by Copperhed ("Root the ATT SGH-I727 Skyrocket..."). read through the OP and follow instruction exactly. You will be Odin3 flashing just the CWM recovery partition... this will NOT trip your flash counter. If you are already rooted, you should retain root... if not, you can root via his OP. After you have CWM recovery, there's a way you can mount the sdcard so you can transfer files between your PC and SR... then, you can put the sbin file back and see if it reboots fine... if not, with CWM installed, you can flash (via zip.. not Odin) any rom/kernel/modem zip package you want.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] JDubbed:
Even though I installed CWM from a different source I thanked you anyways DoctorQMM! Now that I have CWM installed how to I transfer the file from my pc to the system/bin directory? I have been able to mount usb storage and it show up as a drive on my pc but when I mount /system nothing shows up. What am I missing?

Thanks for all your help! I am almost there! ^_^
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] icenight89:
hey, I recommended it first :-P. Seriously though, download a kernel from the dev section, any kernel. Open it up in winrar, winzip, etc... and delete everything except the system folder. Now take the bin file u copied to ur computer and put it in a folder called bin. Put this bin in the kernel zip inside the system folder. Now delete everything else in the system folder. Put this file on a microsd, slip it in ur phone and flash it through cwm. this will put the bin back, and allow u to reboot phone
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] DoctorQMM:
JDub... PM cdshepherd.... he's the one who shared with me you can use the mounts and storage option in cwm (then click "mount USB storage")... then you can copy files between your sd and computer without having to do what I did (which was pull external sd out of SR, mount in micro adapter, plugged into laptop and loaded files on the sd... then put sd back in phone.. booted into CWM and flashed the rom zip I put on there). Yes.. you are close! If you can't get that one file back to sbin on root, you could try to flash a stock rom/kernel zip (KK1 or LA3)... you only need to put that rom/kernel zip on your sd or external sd so CWM will see it.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] JDubbed:
icenight89 your right you provided the inspiration so I thanked you as well and appreciate the explanation. I will perform it now and see where I get. Let me understand this correctly in steps..

1. Download a kernel, any kernel.

2. Open it up, delete everything except the system folder.

3. Create a folder named bin and put the backed up file in the bin folder.

4. Delete everything else within the system folder except the bin file and bin folder. So it should be /system/bin/xxx.file

5. Put this on a microsd card and flash it through cwm. I assume I do this by selecting "install zip from sdcard?"

Thanks for the continual help! ^_^

I am having trouble with the kernel part. I downloaded a i727 kernel from here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1340114&page=2. Opened it up and it has boot.img in it. Am I missing something?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] JDubbed:
Alright. I downloaded the kernel from here http://www.mediafire.com/?85g701ate11zdc9. The kernel contained a folder named system and deleted everything else. I then added the folder bin and added the backed up file I deleted to the system/bin/ directory. I then mounted usb storage via CWM and put the new .zip in there. I then selected "install zip from sdcard", "choose zip from internal sd card" located the zip file and selected "yes." I then get the following read outs...

Installing update...

Installation aborted.

--Installing: /emmc/sgh-1727-skyrocket-att-original-kernel_2.zip

Finding update package...

Opening update package...

Installing update...

Installation aborted.

So it looks like it is not installing. Am I doing something wrong?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] icenight89:
wrong kernel, download this one:

http://faux.androidro.ms/sky-kernel-010b1.zip

delete everything from in there except system folder, including boot.img, and follow instructions again, should work
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] icenight89:
these steps are exact, nice
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] JDubbed:
Unfortunately I get the same error message with the kernel you supplied. x.x

010b1.zip

Finding update package...

Opening update package...

Installing update...

Installation aborted.

Are you sure I can just delete and add stuff like that and It will work? I mean it makes sense to me but since it keeps aborting there may be something crucial missing that I need to keep in the .zip file. Any ideas?

Here is a link of my modified zip. http://dl.dropbox.com/u/6778642/Android/sky-kernel-010b1.zip

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] cdshepherd:
download a rom from Dev section. Doesn't matter which one. Try silvers rom you'll like it. Mount USB storage in cwm. Copy rom to sd. Eject SD from computer. Go back to main menu in cwm. Wipe data/factory reset. Wipe cache partition. Wipe dalvik cache(under advanced in cwm) format system under mounts and storage. Back to main menu in cwm. Install zip from sdcard. Choose zip(rom) you just placed on your SD. Flash it. Reboot device. Enjoy. And make a nandroid after it boots for the first time.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] cdshepherd:
Did you make a cwm backup of rom you were using prior to this?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] JDubbed:
No, I did not make a nandroid backup. I had to install CWM from download mode and then I was able to get into CWM all without booting.

I appreciate your time in writing a solution however I am not interested in wiping everything and starting from scratch which is what your proposing. I simply deleted a file in system/bin named mediaserver so system/bin/mediaserver. When I rebooted the phone would not boot. I made a backup of the mediaserver before deleting it and placed it in the sdcard/download folder. All I need to do is copy the mediaserver file back to system/bin/ directory and phone should boot backup as if nothing ever happened. That's is how I understand it. Its just missing a file and I know what the file is and I have the file I just need to figure out how to copy it back over to where it belongs.

I do know how to install stock and other roms but after spending numerous hours on my first phone, SGS Captivate, to experience others roms like Darky's Rom the end result was that it was not worth me having to keep up with all the releases and bug fixes, loading in working kernels to make things work correctly and the like. I would rather just stick with stock. Its just a personal preference.

If anyone knows how to copy a file from my pc or from internal sdcard to my Skyrocket using Download mode or ClockWorkMod using any means but without wiping my data please let me know. Eventually if I do not get a solution I will be forced to revert back to the stock rom but I would rather leave that as a last resort.

I look forward to any other suggestions!

Thank you!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] cdshepherd:
Without the ability to push/pull with adb your running out of solutions. I do hope that you get your skyrocket up and running no matter what method you use. And I do hope that someone with the ability comes along to help you. My way is prob the easy way out. If it were me ide cut my losses. Start from scratch, and try to figure out where my prob starts. Good news is there is a great community with plenty of help. Good luck mate.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] icenight89:
Since my zip suggestion didn't work, try flashing a different kernel, romracer stockish 0.3 is a good choice, from cwm
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] chappatti:
Based on your first post, I don't think your pc is FULLY installed your device. Download mode requires additional drivers.........adb devices should return a serial number.

I have not tried adb on my skyrocket...I will do that for your sake :) and reply with my experience..
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] cdshepherd:
He already pushed cwm with Odin. Drivers should be good I would think

To op, try adb devices while booted in recovery
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] cdshepherd:
Ignore...sorry
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] chappatti:
Agreed.........missed that.

adb devices works in recovery mode......but not in download mode.

EDIT: Look here for pushing files in recovery mode via adb http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=558812

EDIT 2: I just tested and "push" works in adb in RECOVERY. The pushed file is visible in /sdcard or wherever I pushed it to. Dont forget that you also need to indicate an output FILE name for the file to be seen on you internal sd.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] JDubbed:
A little further...

Thanks for everyone's help. I am not giving up just yet but I got a little further thanks to everyone's insight.

I performed...

adb devices (when in CWM and I get 34d5236a recovery)

So at least it shows a device is connected.

Then I perform...

adb push c:\mediaserver /system/bin/ (and it states the file was copied)

To make sure it was copied correctly I perform...

adb pull /system/bin/mediaserver c:\ (and mediaserver gets copied from device to pc)

So I get all excited, I reboot the phone and it still hangs. At least I know now that medaiserver is where it is supposed to be even though my phone still wont boot.

My last idea is to make a backup with CWM, modify the system/bin/ directory to make sure it has mediaserver in it, restore the backup and see what happens. If that does not work then I am just going to cut my losses and restore stock with odin. Since I kept a fairly recent backup using Titanium Backup and got my personal files off /sdcard by mounting it my time spent getting back to the way I was should be cut significantly.

Wish me luck! :)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] cdshepherd:
Good luck friend. No need to restore with odin, just flash stock rom from dev section.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] JDubbed:
In the link in the above post it talks about looking into the directory of /sdcard using adb shell. Is there a way I can look into the /system/bin directory so I can verify 100% that mediaserver is in fact there? Kind of like command prompt with cd c: or something to that effect would be nice. I do perform the following while in CWM Recovery...

adb shell (and I get the ~ # indicating I have superuser)

I then perform...

ls (And I get the following...)

boot init.qcom.1pm_boot.sh sd-ext

cache init.qcom.sh sdcard

data init.rc sys

datadata k:\ system

default.prop 1pm.rc tmp

dev proc ueventd.goldfish.rc

emmc res ueventd.rc

etc root

init sbin

I try command like "/system/bin" to try and get to the directory and I get the following...

/sbin/sh: adb: not found.

Any ideas on how I can access the /system/bin directory?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] JDubbed:
After much deliberation I decided to go ahead and start from scratch. BUT...oddly enough when I loaded up odin with stock gingerbread and my phone rebooted...BAM! My phone booted up with everything back the way it was minus root! I was like....o.0 WHOOOHOOO! For some reason I was not able to use the Skyrocket Easy Root way to root because it had file permission errors which I never had when I first rooted it. I ended up bumping into DooMLoRD_v3_ROOT-zergRush-busybox-su and that fixed all the permission errors and now I am back in business!

Thanks everyone for all your help! Job well done. :)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] jamesd86:
Sorry I didn't see this sooner but after you pushed the file to system/bin you needed to set its permissions for it to work..chown 775 or some stuff like that..wouldn't have worked without setting it as system level permission.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] JDubbed:
AH bummer! The old permission trick. Oh well I am back in business regardless. Not sure how I was able to reinstall stock with odin and still keep everything how it was. Maybe it is kind of like repairing windows system files with sfc /scannow. Now I just need a bigger micro SD card to start making nandroid backups so I never have this problem again. BTW CWM Touch is kick ass...just saying. :D

Thanks again!:)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] chappatti:
Sorry, from here too for catching up late..........my life got in the way :):)

Anyways, for future use with this method you HAVE to use an OUTPUT file name. For whatever reason, you have to

adb push c:\mediaserver /system/bin/mediaserver <-------- output file name. Then you can see the file.

Then fix permissions as mentioned by jamesd.

Maybe this can help someone else !!
[General Questions and Answers] Slavens:
I'm planning on diving into CM9 / ICS development with an attempt to get it working on my LG optimus C and I have a couple of novice questions.

First, I'm not a total noob - I've coerced several versions of MacOSX (through leopard) onto unsupported hardware. This included having to make significant modifications to video drivers and such.

Ok. They're noob questions. :P

1. I have CWM loaded. If I botch an image badly, will CWM save me from bricking my phone completely in most instances?

2. Should I start with vanilla ICS or is there a CW9 that can get me close?

3. Is there a list somewhere that details the exact hardware on the phones that have CW ports?

4. If there is a hardware list and the Opt C has hardware (like the camera, for instance) that is the same as something that has a CW9 port, phone x, can I use the 'phone x' driver as long as I recompile it for the correct phone kernel?

Thanks!

Unzip it and then push the file zImage to your phone with Heimdall while in download mode.

On command line, it's:

Hey guys, just wanted to post my video review of this case. It really is a great case an I have been using it with my TP whenever I don't have it docked.

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Gary_O:
I also really like the Poetic Case. Doesn't add a lot of bulk, yet provides good protection. I like that it does not cover the bezel, unlike other leather cases such as the Caseen. My only critique is that the grooves in which the Prime rests in at 3 angled positions could be a bit deeper, as sometimes the Prime will slip out of the groove, particularly the first narrower angle groove. Other than that, great case for the price!
