Addition to my previous post. The problem with busybox solved by flashing file found at xda. None of the play store bussybox apps would install.

Now I come across another problem. The program will not copy files from /dev folder. I think is write protected, but should copy any way.

Program crash when trying to copy those files. It could be that they are "in use"?. Thanks. Will explore more latter.
[Android Software Development] OmarBizreh:
Have you used "Adbd Insecure" ? write protection issue is only solved by using that app (it's link is in OP under)

Tell me if it solves the issue :D
[Android Software Development] cuiltheory:
Yes. I do have ADBd Insecure v1.30.

Current status: Binary insecure USB debugging enable. I have check on "Enable insecure adbd" and enable at boot. I had installed Android Commander that require the adbd insecure. Good program, but yours look better. Could it be my phone?. I have HTC One S with 2.15 bootloader. I still can not get the s=off on this phone. HTC did good job on latest OTA to make sure that we never get the s=off. I am trying to copy to my PC the /dev partition and see if I can find some way to get around the restriction. I could pull by adb, but a lot of work. Thanks.
[Android Software Development] OmarBizreh:
So you are saying even on Android Commander issue is there?

I'm going to try it out now on my phone and see what's the result ;)
[Android Software Development] OmarBizreh:
On my end I was able to write on /dev/ but I wasn't able to pull, thus if I execute this command in adb: adb pull /dev/

The only folder that gets pulled to my computer is: "cpuctl" the rest gets ignored.

I'm going to investigate more on why DM is refusing to continue execution of the command when it gets "Skipped" as a return message from Adb.

Mean while you can manually pull the files to your PC (in this case only cpuctl will get pulled the rest are getting refused by Adb -- At least in my case) and you can move them back using DM since there is no issue in writing files to /dev/.

Thank you for your report, I will look more into the issue soon :)
[Android Software Development] cuiltheory:
The /dev is write protected and specially the /block. I try to write before, but after reboot, any changes were gone. Trying to change the attrib for the files in /block did not work too. Thanks.
[Android Software Development] OmarBizreh:
this changes lots of things. The thing is /dev includes device nodes.

By that I mean that the dev partition contains some kind of access point to kernel drivers, available disks..etc

those files gets loaded upon boot, and from what I've read when I started my kernel development journey, /dev/ most of the times is like a system file loaded onto ram and gets loaded upon every boot.

So what ever change you are trying to do on /dev/ files must be done from the base file, by that I mean if your change has to do with kernel files after they are loaded, then you should edit kernel source code then compile a new kernel and flash it.

What you are doing will never get you to a point unless you want to check live results to a certain file you have edited before your reboot.

Hope this helps :cowboy:
[Android Software Development] cuiltheory:
Thanks. I knew that is RAM, but I was wanted to look into those files and see where is the source. I am interested of origin of block04 and 5. That where the cid is. Unless I be able to change the cid to supercid, I will not get the s=off. There is got to be a way to defeat the HTC. I refuse to believe that they are that smart. LOL. Man, this program is great. Thanks again.
[Android Software Development] OmarBizreh:
You're welcome my friend :)
[Android Software Development] cuiltheory:
Well, I got the S=off by moonshine script. It took me 5min in Linux. I feel now like I really own this phone. Now, with your program, I can go "where no man has gone before". LOL. Thanks.

And you dont respond to me....
[Android Software Development] OmarBizreh:
And I replied :angel:

Edit:

Those who tried the new beta, what do you think of it?!
[Android Software Development] DaPhinc:
I need a little help for getting this program to work.

So the adb server finds my device but the serial numer is just a generic 123456789ABCDEF.

After clicking "Start Dorid Manager" i don't have access to the device. Droid Manager opens, but in the File Browser i just see "permission denied" (and there is also nothing under "Browse Apps" and "build.prop".

I honestly don't know if i have the fastboot and adb drivers installed but i guess so because Windows has listed my S2 as SAMSUNG Android ADB Interface.

Any suggestions? I would really love to use this nice program!!

PS: Device Galaxy SII International, Android 4.2.2. PACman v23, USB Debugging & ADB over Network enabled.
[Android Software Development] OmarBizreh:
[MENTION=4638612]DaPhinc[/MENTION]: AOSP based roms need to give permission for "adb shell" to run SU commands.

What you should do is go to SU app (found in Settings -> Superuser) then press menu button and tap on Settings.

Change "Superuser Access" to ADB & Apps. This will solve "Permission Denied Issue"

Of course after you do that keep your phone screen turned on, if your phone's shell never requested a SU permissions you will get a prompt when Droid Manager attempts to load your phone files.

As for drivers I my self have an S3 (International) and I needed to install drivers pack that comes with Samsung Kies in-order to make my computer detect the device, you don't have to do the same if your computer already detects your phone.

I recommend you to try out 6.1 RC, it's near complete I'm just doing final touches, it should be read within two days.

here is download link: Droid Manager 6.1.0 RC - Mediafire

What's new in 6.1:

Brand new bright skin for the app (check Droid Manager Facebook page to see the new skin :) )

Now users can see icon of locally backed up apps (check attachment 1)

Few more animations added to make loading lists more eye comforting.

Improved Application Settings window

Added update channels (Beta & Stable channels only, RC releases will be available on xda only)

Fixed Nandroid backups detection, in some cases Droid Manager used to fail to detect available Nandroids

Redesigned few other "windows" in Droid Manager to make it look better

Added Device Info tab (this one is not yet a complete feature)

Droid Manager will now automatically create Nandroid on external SD Card if found.

Added Sort By date in file browser.

New Active Shell for users to execute their own commands
[Android Software Development] sudisk:
Great news! As soon as I'm back on Windows I'll try this one.

Thanks for your hard work.
[Android Software Development] OmarBizreh:
[MENTION=4482340]sudisk[/MENTION] you are most welcome my friend, I would like to thank you for your time testing this new release :)

By the way if you like I just posted 7 images about the new UI on Droid Manager Facebook page :D

[Android Software Development] DaPhinc:
Thanks, the file browser is working now. It also loads the build.prop. But sadly, other things i tried failed :(.

- Tried to add a line to build.prop, so i clicked load and it loaded the build.prop, then i added the line and hit save but when it checked the build.prop after a reboot, the line was not there.

- I tried to install onAndroid via the Rom Management section, but it always failed.

- Rebootet via Droid Manager. Device rebooted but Droid Manager crashed when device was at the bootanimation again.
[Android Software Development] OmarBizreh:
Did you read what I mentioned in "Notes you MUST know about" at page 1?

because I'm pretty sure "onAndroid" and "build.prop" issues are related to your kernel now allowing adb to push required files to your system partition.

Install Adbd Insecure and patch your Adbd file then those issues will be solved :)

As for Droid Manager crashing when rebooting device, I will take a look at the code being executed while the device is rebooting :)

Thank you for reporting,

Have a nice day.

Edit:

And this should make version 6.1 ready for release, but first crash issue must be solved :)

​
[Android Software Development] DaPhinc:
Sorry, i read it but i had no idea what it means and i was pretty shure that CM kernel can do all that :D.

And thanks for the info with Adbd, it works now :).

But i have another question:

Under BackUp i should be able to flash mods and DroidManager makes backups of all the files that are overwritten, right? Have the mods to be in a special format or something? Because i tried to install a flashable zip of a GPS fix and all it did was giving me the output:

And it just copied the file to this location, nothing else.

There is also a typo in this section: falshed instead of flashed ;)
[Android Software Development] OmarBizreh:
A typo :eek: fixing right now :angel:

As for the BackUp section you are right, can you please send me the zip file you are giving to Droid Manager so I can debug and see where the issue is.

And I'm happy to know that adbd fixed the issue :D

And I also noticed a bug in the image I posted in my previous post, there are two "used " columns while there should be one called "used" and the other one called "Mount Point" :p (and it's now fixed too)

Have a nice day :)
[Android Software Development] DaPhinc:
Here you go! :)

[Android Software Development] DaPhinc:
Nice work. BackUp function works fine now :).

But i have two feature request:

- could you make an option to automatically install the mod after backing up the files? That would be very convenient.

- could you add an option to abort the app backup in the app manager? (this one is not important)

EDIT: There also seems to be a text encodign issue with german umlauts (ä,ö,ü,Ä,Ö,Ü). When the app "Ö3 für Android" is backed up, it becomes "Ã–3 fÃ¼r Android".And the crash bug when rebooting is still present for me.

EDIT2: Oh damn, i just tried to restore a backup of "Ã–3 fÃ¼r Android" (App+Data) to try if there are problems and it totally messed up my device. It seems like all app data is gone now :(. But luckily i made a nandroid yesterday :).
[Android Software Development] OmarBizreh:
the device did reboot, I will try to change the reboot code of my program to see if it fixes your issue.

As for the build.prop file I just found out there is a problem with mounting the system partition as read/write in my program. will fix it and upload the new version :)
[Android Software Development] ardicli2000:
Glad if I could help you.
[Android Software Development] OmarBizreh:
I have fixed the issue of build.prop file, and I changed the code of rebooting in my app,I think problem solved :)

[Android Software Development] ardicli2000:
Getting a lot better and more useful. :D

Eager for new version which will have latest adb library.
[Android Software Development] OmarBizreh:
:good:

I'm also waiting for an update of AndroidLib :D
[Android Software Development] ardicli2000:
An also could you please elaborate on "1- Create backup zip file that contains the system files to be effected by applying a theme or a mod. The zip file can be flashed via CWM. Just tell the program which theme you want to apply and the files will be backed up from the phone directly." this new feature.

Let's discuss my case. I am on Stock ICS rom with a custom kernel ,as you know :p

I want to flash 15 toggle mod.

But if something is messed up after flashing or if I do not like it, Can I revert back to original state by flashing back the backup zip created by the program?

If that's the case, it is awesome :D
[Android Software Development] OmarBizreh:
Yes that's what is to be done, the only thing is if the theme includes an extra APK file (that is not included on the device) it will not be removed after flashing the backup zip file.

I applied a them that needed three zip files to be flashed, I told the program to create the backup for me from the three zip files ( one at a time) and after flashing the theme, I flashed back the backup files and everything was back to normal :D

I was able to make the program flash the theme directly but I was having some problems with the Framework-res.apk file which caused the device to go into a bootloop that's why I removed that feature from the program :(
[Android Software Development] OmarBizreh:
New Version

Version 4 is out :D
