[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] xWolf13:
How can I delete SuperUser and replace it with SuperSU? I think SuperSU is way better than SuperUser!
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] Beastmode:
easiest way i can think of is download superSU from market open it, give it root perms then delete superuser lol
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] xWolf13:
it doeant say uninstall for SuperUser
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] Beastmode:
Because it's a system app ull have to use a root explorer and manually delete the app

If helped don't be afraid to hit the thanks button ;) it doesn't bite lol
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] xWolf13:
and then put SuperSU as a system app. Right?
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] rbeier1221:
If you can simply install it I would go that route. Otherwise, yes you can. You will need to change permissions and reboot if you install as a system app.

Depending on if it works with your phone or not, there's an app on the play store called boot manager.

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.drx2.bootmanager.lite

It's a little tricky to set up, but a nice too nonetheless. Worked great on my droid Inc when I wanted to try out alpha ics roms without having to nandroid back every time.

Hello :) i wanted to know if i can cook ROM using DSIXDA's kitchen for neov ?? If yes what are the files which i will need besides the kitchen ??
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] Madfysh:
Yes. You need system.img.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] Abhiheart:
Thanks :) System.img of stock ROM right ??
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] Madfysh:
If you are starting from stock, then yes.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] Abhiheart:
Can you tell me a software to extract system.img from the .ftf ??
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] Madfysh:
use flashtool->advanced->sin editor
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] Abhiheart:
Thanks :)

Does kitchen support .431 stock or .562 ..i previously read somewhere that it only supports .562 ...
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] Madfysh:
It works with both.

[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] Abhiheart:
Thanks again :) and i found that thread later after creating my thread ..thanks for it :)
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] Abhiheart:
I cannot find sin editor in flashtool :( using ver 0.6.9
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] BombayBoy:
.431 firmware

@ Madfysh

if i want to cook a custom ROM using latest .431 from the ftf's you uploaded, which one should i download (i want the world/global firmware) :confused:

thanks :o
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] BombayBoy:
Abhi,

is this what you referring to?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] sainath23:
Use NANDROID backup instead of FTF. Cooking ROM from FTF is very lengthy procedure. ;)
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] Abhiheart:
Yup ..it is : ) how can i get it ??
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] Abhiheart:
What files of nandroid backup i need ?? I hv a CWM backup of my stock :)
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] sainath23:
Copy "System.yaffs2.img" file from your memory card CWM backup folder to your PC local drive and extract it using "unyaffs.exe" for that give command "unyaffs system.yaffs2.img". It will extract your system folders and files. After extracting complete delete "lost-found" and "sd" folder if present. ;)
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] BombayBoy:
I installed the latest flashtool ;)
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] Abhiheart:
Thanks i did that already ..but kitchen needs system.img file ?? how to get that ?? I dont want to extract ..but find system.img :)
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] mpiekp:
Use the system.img from a nandroid back up is easiest way to start. Just copy to working directory from SD card
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] sainath23:
Arey yaar why you need system.img! Create new folder in kitchen and give it name as WORKING_XXX and put these system folders and files which you have extracted from system.yaffs2.img and also put the META-INF folder and Kernel (boot.img) in your WORKING_XXX folder. After that start DSIXDA kitchen and change the updater-script into update-script. Now you can able to modify your ROM as you want. After your modification complete change the update-script to updater-script. Go to META-INF folder and edit updater-script and remove following line :

Now select 99 build your ROM. Thats it! ;)
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] Madfysh:
Use Nordic one.

really?

You call this simpler than getting system.img from system.sin(from ftf) with flashtool and putting it in kitchen and let the kitchen do all stuff with scripts?

And if you do what you say, put extracted folder directly in kitchen, how will it create updater script?

@Abhiheart: did you really need to start 3 threads+PM, for one thing? :rolleyes:
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] sainath23:
Yup dude I find it easier than extracting system.img from system.sin ;). You can use META-INF folder from other custom ROM's (you only need to change updater script). I have tried it and cooked ROM for myself and I'm using that ROM. You can also extract system.yaffs2.img (by renaming system.yaffs2.img to system.img) file with DSIXDA kitchen and then you will get META-INF folder automatically. ;) I'm just telling him way to get system folder.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] Abhiheart:
In the kitchen I get a msg like this Android 'magic' header not found at the start of boot.img checking if it exists elsewhere ...

Warning : Android header not found in boot.img <unsupported format>

Error :Kernel offser <Page Size> is 0

Why is it coming ?? will it cause any problems ??
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] Madfysh:
Just put system.img in necessary folder no need for boot.img, during the process kitchen will ask to add some default boot.img just for sake of process, it will be removed later.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] BombayBoy:
which JDK is recommended?

PS : should i set it up on my system with a 64 bit Windows 7 or the one with 32 bits (just to avoid any incompatibility ;)

thanks :)
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] Abhiheart:
Okay ..after the build ROM process ..how will i put the kernel in the ROM ..suppose i want to use suave kernel as my default kernel for my ROM ..how will i integrate it into the ROM ??
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] Abhiheart:
The 64 bit should work fine :) If your system is a 32-bit one ..go for a 32 bit ..if your system is 64-bit go for a 64 bit one :)
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] BombayBoy:
yeah, i have 2... and JDK i mean which version too :o
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] Abhiheart:
Dude 64 bit systems are better ..set it up in that :)
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] Madfysh:
To be honest, I'm not sure, I was using it on 32bit, check kitchen's thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=633246 he did mention 32 bit, but..

I'm not sure if cygwin have 32bit-libs inside, which are used on 64-bit machines.

you do realize that boot.img in zip, which you see in some rom's here on forum, is just for easier "transport", you do know it's not flashed by default, you need to extract it and flash it as you would do with any custom kernel.

Ok now that we said that, about your question, it's a zip, open it with any archive program and put kernel_name.img inside.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] Abhiheart:
SO that means i have to download the kernel i want ..and then put in into my working ROM folder and select option 99 ..correct ??
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] Madfysh:
No. You can try putting it together(ion same folder) with system.img, before extracting system.img. But don't know will it work, as I didn't have need to do that.

Now that you have what_ever_name_you_call_it.zip just put kernel inside, if you really need to have it in zip.

Once again, you do know that it won't be flashed together with zip?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] Abhiheart:
I got it now ..it means that after the ROM is cooked i hv to put boot.img into the ROM zip ..ya i knw that .it wont be flashed together with zip ..then how to get the kernel working ?? What if i dont want to have it in zip ??

Also what_ever_name_you_call_it.zip u mentioned is the kernel zip or the cooked ROM.zip

For example : If i hv a cooked ROM zip named Xperia.zip ..I will copy the boot.img into the zip ..and flash it will that work ?? Also can i flash the kernel using flashtool after installing the ROM ?? How did u got the kernel working ??
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] Madfysh:
wtf, you don't have to put it in, who said that you need? you were the one who wanted to put it in :)

concentrate man :) .zip is a rom, kernel can only be .sin or .img

If you copy it in it will work, if you don't copy it in it will also work, rom will be flashed, kernel in rom zip won't even be touched.

You can flash kernel whatever way you want.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] Abhiheart:
Thanks :)

Will flash my cooked rom and tell u :)
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] Abhiheart:
Listen Now :) ..I cooked my rom (did not put any kernel in the zip) ..previously i had Xperia Pureness Build 7 with alliance kernel v1.4 splash by thillnac :) ..I Copied my cooked ROM.zip to my Sd card..went into the recovery ..did a factory reset/wipe data ..cleared my cache ..and flashed the zip..zip was successful :) ..I am stuck at the alliance kernel Logo ..

What went wrong ??
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] Madfysh:
try wiping system also..
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] Abhiheart:
Thanks a ton that worked :) But after the boot its showing unfortunately, the process com.sonyericsson,customization has stopped :( only a OK button is there and when i press it ..it keeps giving me the same error ..

Any solution ??
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] Abhiheart:
I have made a custom ROM of my own :) Thanks dude Madfysh :) . wanted to ask one more thing : Now if i want to make a custom ROM taking the ROM made by me as my base then what to do ?? Previously i used ur ftf file to extract system.img now how will i extract the system.img of my custom rom ?? Can i take it from a nandroid backup of my custom rom ?? or is it anyway that i can make a .ftf file of my custom ROM ??
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] Madfysh:
Worst then not knowing how to do something is doing something blindly.

When you do something, try understand how it works.

Yes, you can use system.img from CWM backup, but why?? you still have your working folder, just continue working with it.

Hey guys, just upgraded from a Atrix 4g and loving the phone.

I've been looking for to wake my phone by using the volume rockers. I got the new otterbox commuter and it's much harder to press the power button,a bit easier to press rockers. I found a few threads talking about it but nothing that works.

I edited a few files in the /system/usr/keylayout folder to allow WAKE on the volume keys followed by a restart but nothing works.

Any ideas on how to do this on a stock s3 at&t?

Cant wait to try this out.

I got a Gnex so since I had to replace my D2G due to a messed up keyboard and got a post 629 back I havn't really messed with it. Mainly just becuase I havn't had time. But I am definently going to have to try this. BTW, I have two D2Gs that I am looking to sell. Thinking I will put them on Swappa. Both are Verizon insurance replacements but becuase of that they are in perfect shape. One is white and one is blue. I hate to just have them sitting here when someone could enjoy them, so hit me up if you want to make a offer. Im pretty open price wise. Not looking to make a killing since they are older devices. I will also throw in a extra battery, two car docks, screen protectors, a couple chargers and....I think thats it.

Thanks for the ISO bhigham, worked like a charm.

What I am having trouble figuring out is how to install cyanogenmod post root. I am following the instructions in the wiki, can't link due to new account but it is the Install_CM_for_droid2we guide.

And when I get down to the line,

adb push su /system/xbin/

I get a permission denied error.

See while my phone is rooted, the default shell is the non-root shell ('$' vs '#'). Apparently the old root method would give you a default root shell.

Anyone have any ideas how to precede here?
[Droid 2 Global General] sd_shadow:
i think root failed, because adb shell should be root

retry

is phone rebooting to android os, twice after flashing in bootloader, or rebooting to bootloader?

if it's rebooting to bootloader, pull usb cable during reboot, reconnect after phone has completed reboot

---------- Post added at 09:35 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:22 AM ----------

not sure how you could know that, without superuser
[Droid 2 Global General] damagedon:
Sorry, the vital information I left out is that when I type 'su' I can elevate to the root prompt. I assumed this means my phone was correctly rooted.

The phone did the double reboot into the Android OS and everything looked like it was working correctly.
[Droid 2 Global General] sd_shadow:
if phone is rooted, you could try

pete's root tools or motofail, to push superuser

[Droid 2 Global General] damagedon:
I actually have the superuser app on my phone already. The Root CD in the OP must have added it.

So if I got to the next step in the wiki, pushing the recovery bootstrap onto the phone,

adb push bootstrap-1.0.0.5-droid2.apk /system/app/

At first I get a read only file system error, which goes away away when I remount /system using,

mount -o rw,remount /dev/block/mmcblk1p21 /system

But then I get a permission denied erro when running the push. Again I think this is because the default shell does not have root.

Is there someway to evaluate the privileges of the push command?
[Droid 2 Global General] sd_shadow:
i have always found the easiest way to get apks from pc to phone, is

connect phone to pc in mass storage mode, drag apk to sd card

change phone to charge only, use file manager or root explorer

find apk tap on it, select install

---------- Post added at 05:04 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:01 PM ----------

app will not be a system app, but does not need to be, and on D2G I never installed it as a system app
[Droid 2 Global General] damagedon:
Ah that sounds like a simpler approach. I just realized I don't even have a sd card on this phone, the person who gave it to me apparently removed it. So I just ordered one for the phone as I don't think it would very useful without one.
[Droid 2 Global General] sd_shadow:
ok, not sure why you can't push it as a system app

if you have 3g or wifi available, download apk directly to phone

then use file manager or root explorer

find apk (should be in download folder) tap on it, select install

---------- Post added at 06:13 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:50 PM ----------

guess you can't download without sd card
[Droid 2 Global General] damagedon:
So I got my SD card and tried installing cyanogenmod and got stuck on the Motorola screen. Not sure what I did wrong but I am reflashing the SBF to try again.
[Droid 2 Global General] sd_shadow:
what file name?

where did you find it?
[Droid 2 Global General] damagedon:
I can't link due to my newness but it was kind of roundabout where I installed the droid 2 recovery bootstrap but then couldn't figure out how to get into clockwork recovery, so I went on the play store, downloaded clockwork from there and reboot into recover and installed the cyanogen mod from the official site plus the google apps zip. Then I wiped data and cache and rebooted but got stuck on the Motorola logo.

In the process of trying again. This time I got the recovery bootstrap installed and was about to reboot directly into clockwork with no play store needed. I was going to wipe data/factory and then install from zip. I don't see the point in creating a backup as I could find no way to restore.

[Droid 2 Global General] Don_S:
I have been reading up on rooting and SBF flashing the Droid 2 global for the last several days to the point that my head hurts:eek:

I am new to Android phones and have only successfully rooted one phone (an HTC incredible). The process for the incredible seems quite different from that for the D2G. I am still awaiting delivery of my D2G and in the meantime I have a couple of questions:

1. What is the proper sequence - do I root first and then flash the SBF or vice-versa? Does the sequence even matter?

2. I have downloaded several SBFs from 1KDS's website. If a flash a newer SBF (4.5.608 for instance), can I later flash an older SBF ( like the 2.4.33) ? I want to experiment with the various SBFs but want to ensure that I will not brick the phone by flashing an older SBF.
[Droid 2 Global General] Gasai Yuno:
SBF completely overwrites everything that is present in the flash memory except /data.

You can flash older SBF images provided you did not update/flash 4.5.629. The 4.5.629 update replaces bootloader and older SBF images will not work after that.

You cannot brick by flashing SBFs: even if you flash an older SBF over 4.5.629 you can still flash 4.5.629 over that.
[Droid 2 Global General] sd_shadow:
if you flash a sbf, you will need to root again

different system versions are rooted differently

4.5.629 root with magic md5 root

4.5.608 root with pete's root tools, or one of several others

2.4.29/33 are only versions that can be rooted without a pc using 4zroot app

SIM unlock question

Got my D2G a couple of days ago and just now successfully flashed the 2.4.33 radio and ezSBF back to 4.5.629. I had already SIM unlocked the phone before I did this. My question is this: Now that I have rooted, downgraded to 2.4.33 and flashed back to 4.5.629, will I need to SIM unlock the phone again? Not a big deal if the unlock code remains the same. I don't have the foreign SIM card (which I had borrowed to SIM unlock the phone). I have not yet applied the TBH band lock hack because I wasn't sure that the phone is still SIM unlocked, hence the question.

Also, since flashing the Froyo radio, I am getting a blue triangle in the notification bar and under Settings>About phone>Status, under "Network" it shows up as "Unknown", but signal strength is OK Mobile network type is CDMA EvDo rev.A. Prior to doing all of the above, the Network type was showing up correctly as Verizon. Any idea as to what is going on?
[Droid 2 Global General] sd_shadow:
no once phone is unlocked, flashing will not change that

it just needs to be a non verizon sim card

should be ok, if you activated with verizon, or other network, it would fix that
[Droid 2 Global General] Don_S:
Thank you for your response. Yeah.. after I posted the above message, I went ahead and installed the TBH band unlock, inserted an AT&T card from my iPhone and was able to connect to the ATT network. Everything seems to be working the way it should, so I am a happy camper!
