[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kazs:
Dear all,

I'm trying to root my G2. I was following the instructions described in the Strewmetal's PDF file. It went very smoothly until I hit this issue. I was in the section of "[OPTIONAL] TEMP-ROOTING TO BACKUP". It went fine until the last command which is:

adb shell /data/local/tmp/fixsu.sh

I had the following error:

/data/local/tmp/fixsu.sh: cannot create /system/etc/passwd: I/O error

Unable to chmod /system/etc/passwd: I/O error

/data/local/tmp/fixsu.sh: cannot create /system/etc/group: I/O error

Unable to chmod /system/etc/Group: I/O error

cp: can't create '/system/bin/su": Invalid argument

I tried the previous commands a few times just in case, but it seems there are no issues with the previous commands.

It would be great if someone can shed some light here.

Thank you very much!

[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] demkantor:
well for the most part you will probably never need your back up so you can definitely skip this part if youd like

but if you must id go to freenode #g2root

youll get real time help from people who have seen it all - when your done make sure you post the problem and the fix so the next person who reads this will learn
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kazs:
demkantor, thank you very much for the reply. I actually skipped the section and went ahead. Then, I just completed the entire process according to the PDF file. It went fine everything. But, I think I had an issue after I enter:

# reboot

My G2 automatically started the reboot process with the white screen with green "htc" logo, but it stuck there. I waited 10 minutes, but it doesn't change.

Did I screw up?
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] demkantor:
well not necessarily, if you have a g2 and flashed the dz hboot then your emmc partitions are different and your current rom wont start up. same thing if you have a dz and flashed the g2 hboot.

if you followed either the xda wiki or the cyanogen wiki then everything should be just fine.

pull battery and wait a few seconds... reinstall

boot while holding volume down and write down everything you see here

(you may have to take out sdcard or at least remove the pc10img.zip from your card at this point)

you should see something very similar to this:

VISION PVT ENG S-OFF

HBOOT-0.76.200 (PC1010000)

MICROP-0425

RADIO-26.02.01.15_M2

eMMC-boot

Aug 20 2010, 16:15:01

then some options,

write down your screen and well see if your good
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kazs:
Thanks again for the quick reply. I really appreciate it.

It says:

VISION PVT ENG S-OFF

HBOOT-0.84.2000 (PC1010000)

MICROP-0425

RADIO-26.02.01.15_M2

eMMC-boot

Sep 8 2010,15:56:38

Is it good? If so, what should I do next?

Thanks!
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] demkantor:
you should be just fine, looks like you have the dz hboot.

next step would be to pick your rom, do something simple and known stable at first to make sure all is well and then move on and try a bunch

recommend elitemod cm7 (youll find this and many many others in the dev section, look for a compilation in the 2nd or 3rd post

boot into hboot holding volume and down

wait a second or two after image check completes (no pc10img.zip on sd card!)

now hit volume down and select recovery with the power button

(the guide you followed should have brought you to clockworkmod recovery)

in here toggle (with volume keys but select with trackpad) to mounts>usb mount

put your rom on sdcard ---- unmount

toggle to wipe options (wipe everything you can)

toggle to apply update from sd card (recommend to flash a superwipe script here)

flash rom

now reboot

in the future look into updating radio (lots of threads on this)

update to 4et touch recovery (my opinion way better)

try some roms

do full wipes and superwipes between flashes

always do a nandroid backup before you flash or wipe anything

most importantly have fun!

rooting a friends g2 as i am writing this (got it down to about 15mins!)

time to do all i recommend for myself now! - we are in the same boat!
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kazs:
Thank YOU very much! I just installed EliteMod & Kernel CM7 according to your recommendation and it's working just fine so far. I really appreciate your big help!

I will check for the radio update tomorrow (it's getting very late here...) and I will try other ROMs as well.

May I ask the last question at this time? So, my G2 is not rooted. Does it mean the phone is unlocked as well? I mean I have a plan to go to Asia in August and I would like to buy and use another SIM instead of my T-Mobile SIM over there. I'm sorry for the novice questions though...

Thanks!!!
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] demkantor:
i think you mean now that you are rooted...

anyway here is the best way to check your work:

5. Verify the success of gfree

You can verify the success of gfree by using gfree_verify.

Download gfree_verify.zip from gfree_verify_v01.zip (md5sum 8e3535fd720d19fa0aec4eb711b897c4)

Unzip gfree_verify_v01.zip to a place on your PC.

Open a terminal (or command window) on your PC and change the current directory to where the files are on your PC and execute these commands:

$ adb push gfree_verify /data/local/tmp

$ adb shell chmod 755 /data/local/tmp/gfree_verify

$ adb shell

In this shell:

Remark: When you run su for the first time in the adb shell make sure the the screen of the phone is unlocked. Because when you enter the command the Superuser app will show up and ask you if you want to grant superuser access to app Unknown (2000).

Check the Remember check box and click allow.

$ su

# cd /data/local/tmp

# stop ril-daemon

# ./gfree_verify

You should see the following output:

gfree verify_cid returned:

@CID: 11111111

OK

gfree verify_secu_flag returned:

@secu_flag: 0

OK

gfree verify_simlock returned:

@SIMLOCK= 00

OK

Start the interface layer again (IN THE ADB SHELL ON YOUR PC):

# start ril-daemon

Did it work? Here's what you're looking for:

@CID: 11111111 <--- this response means you have superCID!

@SIMLOCK= 00 <--- this means your simlock is off.

@secu_flag: 0 <--- this means your radio is S-OFF.

if simlock =00 then you can put in any simcard and use anywhere that supports the proper cellular bands
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kazs:
Thank you very much! I have confirmed that the simlock is off on my phone.

PS Sorry for the typo and that I confused you. I wanted to type "now", but typed "not"...

I'm looking to buy the asus transformer infinity + dock for a friend. The fact is, there's no wi-fi at his place so he has a 3g mobile broadband usb stick that he plugs into his laptop to get internet. Has anyone tried if such a setup works? I'm thinking of also pairing a usb hub as everyone could use more usb ports. :D
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Ravi Shmavi:
Try this

Attention! There is a need ROOT access!

Please install busybox here from play goals, otherwise the display is not the online status.

This is a UMTS stick on Asus Prime Transformer can be used.

As UMTS Stick have been tested, type:

have you tried this?[ROOT][TOOL]Debugfs automated root?? if you did, did it run through properly? if not what happen?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] ratman6161:
I've never tried it on a prime or other Android device. However I did recently help someone set up a Verizon usb 3g device on a Windows Laptop. Thing is, it required the Verizon Access Manager software to be installed on the laptop - so Verizon might be a no go. I'm betting someone out there has probably hacked one, but I wouldn't be optimistic.

A better option might be something like this:

http://www.verizonwireless.com/b2c/...t&action=viewPhoneDetail&selectedPhoneId=5912

The device itself is only $20 but there is that pesky 2 year contract to get that price and the $50 per month for 5 GB per month. A similar device with another carrier that has better rates on data plans might be better. I only mention Verizon because that's what I'm familiar with.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] wernerzero:
I've tried this but it says: "system error > /system/xbin/iproute not found - please install busybox" :confused:

Busybox is installed, rooted on WW .28

Tried botha a Huawei and a Nokia stick.

Any suggestions?

Thanks,

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] CharliesTheMan:
I would try getting in touch with that app developer. They may be able to give you some information right off the bat to fix it, or maybe it will bring a problem to their attention that they didn't know existed with newer firmware or something.

Of course it depends on the developer, but more times than not, they are very helpful and will go out of their way to get you up and going.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] 84DGR:
I ran the ROOT debugfs program after installing drivers and for some reason it wouldnt root, i am trying to work on it now

also I have a N14945 ZTE modem does this matter?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] 84DGR:
okay FINALLY rooted the prime, installed busy box and superuser, now the only issue with this is that it keeps telling me that busybox is not installed when it is, i tried to connect with the correct apn from Telstra (my carrier) yet it just keeps updating with superuser access, I have uninstalled and reinstalled

I am about to turn it off and back on to see if it works
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] 84DGR:
OKAY issue solved

UMTS manager works with HUAWAI 3 Mobile Broadband USB Stick

the settings are as follow

3netaccess

it doesnt matter if the app says that busybox isnt installed it will work, you will see the superuser permission granted

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] largeruk:
Can I ask for some clarification please. When you say '3netaccess' - do you mean the APN info or something else? What exactly is the syntax and where does this go? I used three.co.uk as my APN plus all the other info you posted and connected via an E220. Just want to make sure I'm not missing anything...

Edit: Also notice that it loses/drops the connection with the dongle as soon as the tablet goes to 'sleep' (ie. after 1 min in my case on the screen sleep setting). Is there anyway round this..?

Cheers :o
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] 84DGR:
3netaccess was jst like your 3.co.uk it was was my austalian access point (like 3mms and 3internet)

the only way i have seen to stop it from sleeping is by leaving the sceen on, or changing the screen setings, mine is on 1hour and then i turn it on andd off as i need

From the grave
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] itzik2sh:
Update : after listening to my playlist I neglected and reverted it. It is like having one static EQ.

I'm currently using voodoo sound, dsp msnager and stock music player which are 3 very customizable equalizers with endless mutual combinations.

Setting voodoo sound to +2db line out, bass boost on, +4db medium speakers 80% dynamic range

DSP Manager Acoustic EQ

And stock music player to sound clarity effect - I'm getting incredibly better results.

So Is this normal whenever new Rom installed or cache/dalvik is wiped? Takes quite awhile to do 313 everytime.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Saneless One:
Yes. Don't wipe dalvik without a good reason for it.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] DB13:
Its a new thing in ICS that helps your phone adjust to changes
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] KERKEDAGAIN:
yerp..seems that it'll happen everytime cache/dalvik is wiped. Since I'm assuming you're not new to this wiping process, you'll probly remember that boot always take a little longer after you wipe the dalvik..it's still the same, just now it provides a visual indication of its progress.

I like it since now you know your phone has actually booted as opposed to the OG Evo where you're left wondering whether it's stuck or not

[HTC Wildfire S] csoulr666:
First things first.....you simply CANNOT change your A510c to an A510e...

You just flashed a rom meant for the A510e and other GSM models

Second,your phone is in qualcomm diagnostics mode.......and you are following the correct guide.....Use the "rom.zip" from the RUU or your carrier(latest one if possible)

Rename it to "PG76IMG.zip" without quotes in the root of your SDcard(no folders directly in the SDcard) and then try to power up your phone holding the Volume+ button,and then pray to God that it works
[HTC Wildfire S] rajanand:
first of all what ever vibrations it made get it awake any how even black sceen or white.

Now download adb sdk.

download ur own rom.zip and extract the whole folder to Adb folder.

Run these commands..assuming u have kept ur adb folder in c: .

"fastboot flash recovery recovery.img"

"fastboot flash system system.img" .

now remove the battery and try to get inside bootloader.

and do a factory reset.

You will get ur sweety live.
