Samsung Galaxy S Plus GT-I9001 stuck on CWM recovery mode

Please help me. I flashed CyanogenMod 10 for my Galaxy S Plus I9001. Now, my phone is stuck in CWM recovery mode. It's been like this for hours now. Everytime I reboot, it goes back to the CWM recovery mode. I tried removing the battery and turning it back on but it's still stucked. In the bottom of the page, this can be found:

CWM-based Recovery v5.5.0.4

E:Can't mount /cache/recovery/command

Please, can anyone tell me what I did wrong? How can I fix this? Your help will be appreciated.

Edit: I've tried both exitrecovery.zip and cwm_bootloop_fix.zip. Still stuck.

Okay so I have a huawei u8350 (Orange Barcelona). Does anyone have any idea of how to make a custom kernel for this or if there is even one out there already.

Also do CM7 Roms all have the same generic kernel that would work if i just took it from there and put into my rom??

Mod Mms.apk

Hi everyone,

I have a Acer E350 Liquid Gallant Duo, and I have a problem with mms.apk

When my text message is 4 or more sms long, it's converted to MMS.

I was on cyanogen before, and i know that there is an option to change this limit, but not on this phone.

I tried to mod the apk but never succeeded. (or change the apk but failed, due to dual sim and some other things i guess)

Could someone change or remove this limit please ? Thanks

change theme of iDrod music player app, theme some icons, One I1) background image size change although this should not matter since im not changing any 9patch pngs right?

Anyways. Do that, then

then in terminal <su> <zipalign -f -v 4 sdcard/com.idrodmusicfree.apk sdcard/idrodmusicfree2.apk

Done

Install Icon changed while installing apk to system in above left corner and on homescreen icon afterwords, so it worked to a degree but the app itself gives me A crash screen saying apk is still in beta blah blah blah we suck send us a report to ignore. Any ideas where im ****ing up? Thanks. And I apologize in advance if this is an obvious answer

Best thing to do is run a logcat of when opening your modified apk and it should give you an idea of where the error is occurring.

Could be the png image you used, was it renamed to match the image you replaced?

some problem with rooter/superuser

I am a little lost. I got some help unbricking and rooting my phone. It is no longer a brick (Yea!), and I was told I have a "stock" v1.3.5 giggerbread rom.

an app called Root Checker tells me it can get root access.

I have superuser and it seems to grant root access to various apps, for example titanium backup, or root explore.

But, big BUT, neither Titanium Backup or Root Explorer seem to fully launch. I see a message that the app has been granted root access, but the initial screen never appears. Both apps seem to just hang after getting root access.

I did some reading, and thought installing BusyBox might help. Did that, no joy.

I am not exactly sure what to do next troubleshooting, or what forum/tread is appropriate.

Any pointers or folowup questions appreciated.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] BombayBoy:
Try clearing the data for apps which have this problem. Also delete it from Superuser.

Reboot. So, now when you launch them, it will again ask for root access.

Let me know if it worked.

Titanium Backup and Root Explorer hanging

Hi bombayboy -

Thanks for the reply. No joy from the suggestions.

The "clear cache" button was grayed out for both apps, but the "clear data" button was available for the Titanium Backup. I tried it.

When I ran the apps they behaved the same. For example Titanium Backup puts up "requesting root access" on an otherwise blank screen, then I see the message (I think from SuperUser) that Titanium Backup has been granted root access. This message is in a rounded square box and appears for about 3 seconds. However I am left with the dark screen with the single message "requesting root access".

It looks like Titanium does not realize it got the access, or the next thing it tried to do did not complete. Similar behavior for Root Explorer.

Any more ideas? Is there a way I can connect to my computer and use a debugging mode to find out more info?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] jeffsanace:
What you're looking for is in framework-res.apk/res/values/strings. It looks like a line or 2 got deleted or moved causing your problem. What did you ninja morph? Do you have a backup from before you did it? Ninjamorph usually creates one. And lastly, what was it you were trying to theme in framework? I can probably guide you through a better way of doing it.

Edit.. Look on your sd card for Android themes folder, ninjamorph creates it. Inside the folder look in backups and your original should be there.

Thanks. I'll see if I can implement this.

Another ask. Is there a guide for decompiling and compiling .jar files? Is it the same as .apks? I want to remove the gps reticle and I tried using SteelH's method, but I'm having trouble recompiling the file afterwards.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] lactardjosh:
Assuming you are using deodexed .jar files, it's the same as .apks.

Edit: what are you using to decompile/recompile?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] jeffsanace:
There are both apktool and apkmanager how tos in the OP, look through some of the tutorial listings and you'll find what you need.

I had been using apk multi tool but I was having issues getting the file to recompile. I switched to a method using the old apk tool from another forum and this has worked ok so far.

Thanks for the info.

EDIT: I've decompiled the services.jar but it gives and error Can't find resources.arsc file. When I look for the status folder mentioned in SteelH's how to it's not there. I dunno what I am missing. Do I need any other file to be decompiled in the same folder? I've got the SystemUI, framework-res, and htc.resources apks in the same folder all decompiled as well.

Also, yes I've deodexed the file.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] lactardjosh:
If you're using apktool from the command line, you should load the resource apks so that apktool users then when decompiling the apks. This is different from having them decompiled. I'm a Samsung guy, so I'm not really familiar with the HTC files you need, but from the command line, type:

apktool if SystemUI.apk

do this for framework-res.apk and I'm guessing the htc.resources file, too.

You might want to make sure you're using the most recent aapt.exe, apktool.jar, and apktool.jar.

EDIT: Here is a zip with the most current (to my knowledge, at least) files. They should work with any Android version (again, to my knowledge).

EDIT 2: And this is a really good informational video from Nunhugger about using apktool.

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] il Duce:
I use apkmanager and this may be a "dirty" way to do jars but works for me. Rename the jar extension to apk (I use 7zip for that) then decomp, option 9, no dependant needed afaik. Then mod your smali, recompile, say yes and yes to system app, then delete classes dex from the "keep" folder, back to script hit enter. Then rename extension back to jar.

I am using the stock lockscreen. I'd also like to see if I can mod it a little bit by way of color etc. Any ideas?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Robobob1221:
The file I was looking for I found in my SystemUI.

I'm wondering if the Japanese KDDI au version of sense has been heavily modified from the Sprint version. A lot of the values in the script appear to be different. Some are on different lines and v-number for the gps icon were different. For instance the stock status bar doesn't have a permanent gps reticle.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] jeffsanace:
Ok, I'm a little confused. LOL! You have several devices in your sig and you were asking about the Epic 4g lockscreen. Is that what you're wanting to mod? If so I'm not familiar with it, but if you show me a pic I could figure it out. EDIT......If it's stock Android sliders, they're in framework-res.apk/drawable-hdpi. And yes they can be modded several different ways but you'll have to be good at patching .9 pngs because those can be a little tricky. I'll post a pick in a min with an example. This is a mod I did on my OG EVO a while back.

For debugging, you can try to get logcat using ADB & command prompt (I couldn't, used aLogcat :) )

Titanium Backup (and others) hang

TO clarify and follow up, I did also reboot as instructed. Twice actually. Once with vol-up & power keys and once after battery removal.

The app is hung but alive. I can push the menu button and get into preferences for Titanium backup. I tried troubleshooting preferences, and checked the box for use system busybox. I then exited and re-launched. This now says ERROR - cannot get root access, and goes to the Titanium screen that has the Problems? button and various stats. I went back an unchecked that box and re-launched. However the error persists until you reboot, and then it behaves/hangs as originally stated.

Grasping at straws, the only other thing odd is that before I bricked the phone, the T-mobile update to v1.3.6 Galaxy Exhibit was not completing (I think because of clockwork mod.) But, some update happened. If I reboot by removing battery and pressing power on, it starts with a Samsung Exhibit II screen. If I reboot with vol-up and power, it says Samsung Galaxy Exhibit, and then goes into a version of clockwork mod. (Not the version I had, but a similar one installed by the service that unbricked the phone and put on the stock v1.3.5. When I push up-arrow key to select "reboot now", it goes to the Samsung Exhibit screen. I take all this to mean that some firmware update (at least the new screen) did complete. Perhaps this condition/history is involved in the current problems.

I am pretty much describing everything because I am unsure what is relevant.

---------- Post added at 01:52 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:27 PM ----------

Thanks for continued suggestions. Still no joy.

System Cleanup installed OK, but hangs similar to Titanium Backup and Root Explorer. I get a dark/blank screen, and then I see the popup message from superuser that System cleanup has been granted root permissions. But nothing seems to happen. Then about 30 sec later the permissions granted message pops up again. (and does so about every 30 sec). It looks to me like it does not think it has root permissions and keeps trying again. (In task manager I can see the CPU usage going up and down for System Cleanup, so it is not frozen, but looping.)

I also uninstalled SuperUserElete and bought/installed superSU Pro, and everything is the same. Also tried rebooting. No difference.

Would it help to wipe cache or wipe some data from the clockworkmod menu?

root applications hand

I do have Root Checker Basic. I installed it a month or so back. It has been telling me all along there was root access. It says "congratulations! this device has been rooted!"

I can install terminal and double check, but it seems to me that where Root Checker is looking and where these other apps are going is not quite the same, or the check in Root Checker is not getting the full story.

.... installing ....

OK, terminal command "su" seems to work. When I issue the command, I am told about the request from superuser and I ALLOW. The I get a new # prompt in Terminal.

Is there another command I can do that needs root to succeed? to test if the "su" really worked?

BTW, thanks for sticking with me

Safely upgrade to CM-9.1.0 from 9.0.0 ?

I'm pretty sure the most massively noob questions are allowed here... I think. :fingers-crossed:

Phone: T989

Android Version: 4.0.4

Current ROM: CM 9.0.0-hercules

Kernel: CM

If all I want to do is upgrade to CM-9.1.0, do I need to back up anything currently on the phone? Contacts, apps, etc.? When I first rooted and installed 9.0.0, the phone was bare bones so it was dead simple.

But now that there is 'stuff' on it, I am curious about what happens to it if I want to install 9.1.0. I have CWM installed, but honestly I used it only the one time when I initially set up CM 9.0

Thanks! And if my question is in the wrong spot, no hard feelings if it gets moved.
