Reinstall busybox from a link in my signature
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] elfaure:
Am I blind? I do NOT find a link for reinstalling busybox in your signature. Only an uninstall link to your script post that I already tried. Which link?
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] Phil3759:
In universal root method thread. One of attached files has only busybox. This is a clean install method in xbin without any dangerous symlink in ~/bin
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] elfaure:
Thanks for the support. Hey I'm rooted by locked. I noticed you state this may not work for locked bootloaders. Is there any chance of bricking if I run your recovery zip?
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] Phil3759:
No, just flash the busybox_only*.zip file. No need to root if you already are
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] elfaure:
Awesome-Thanks!

Hey thanks for the app, and help!!! Worked like a charm. My busybox is working again. Busybox binary now shows a non-zero byte file size where before it showed 0 bytes. Somehow my busybox binary got replaced with a zero byte file but your recovery fixed it all up and overwrote the trash. Funny thing is after running this my original installer/uninstaller (from ROM Toolbox Lite, Pro) that wouldn't even launch before now launches and runs just fine. But I won't be using that one ever again.

I found another market installer that works like a charm. Its the one by Robert Ned...(half the alphabet)...y. Its just easier to use since my external SDXC with exFAT format needs to be swapped for an SDHC with FAT32 format for recovery and my case is tight and has no slot cut for the SD so I prefer not to have to remove it (both case and SD) if I can avoid it.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] Phil3759:
I strongly advise against those market installers. You now know well why ;)

I rooted my S2 over a year ago and can't quite remember what method I used. I still have Busybox installer on my ext-sd card. I want to return my phone to original bought state from O2 UK before recycling. There's no yellow triangle but the recyclers say original software. Should I do the uninstall from first post or are there other ways to return to stock.

it possible to use busybox without any symlink?

and i have a nexus s with a mess with 2 busybox version installed into xbin and bin .. with symlinks

your zip could help me??

thanks a lot
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] Phil3759:
yes, but if your toolbox was relinked by bad installers, it will mess your phone

I never had time to add the fix described a few pages above
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] ironia.:
This is my strange situation... if someone have an idea. Thanks
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] Phil3759:
Format /system and /data

Reinstall a new ROM

Never use any market busybox installer or less likely a crappy custom ROM

You can try my uninstaller too. It will clean this mess but could kill your wifi because of toolbox links stolen by busybox installer
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] ironia.:
many thanks, i run and now my system/xbin screenshot above;) now i can delete the backup?? i have to test something?

possible to remove all busybox file not deleted in /bin (see log example /system/bin/cat is not linked to busybox, but to toolbox ---> file not deleted)

which safe installer for busybox i can use??? your 'Root_Busybox_1.20.2_Only_(No_SuperSU)-S2-Update3-signed'

i have a nexus s

[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] Phil3759:
If all is ok, you can remove backups

Do not touch toolbox links. They are system related

You can use my installer if you need busybox
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] ironia.:
many many thanks:good::good::good:

this 'Root_Busybox_1.20.2_Only_(No_SuperSU)-S2-Update3-signed' is ok??
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] Phil3759:
It is far than enough

Updating busybox version is often useless

Most good programs come with their own bundled busybox. Titanium backup is a good example and use 1.1x version
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] ironia.:
Thanks I found these files on sdcard:

busybox

toolbox

stericson-is

I think all safe to delete
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] GrayedFox:
Hi there - thanks for the uninstaller. Using it right now!

I'm sorry to draw attention to such an ancient comment, but this has sparked my interest. I wrote a script which used to execute just fine (and still does on native shell on Mac) but will no longer execute on my android phone (via terminal EU or via adb shell). It throws a syntax error. I'm 95% sure it's syntactically correct.

Without wasting your time going over the script - is it possible that the stock TextEdit program on mac somehow corrupted the .sh script? I came here figuring it was a bad BusyBox install/corruption but now I'm wondering...

Thanks in advance, great script.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] Phil3759:
It will remove any symlink to bb, no matter of the installer

To go with bad installers overwriting toolbox, it should be updated with some code I put in the thread. However, I have no time to update it.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] kuma82:
Thanks I've read you entire thread :D

I'm not worried about that since I only need it as a last resort recovery method, to get a 2nd init bootstrap recovery to load properly ;)

Oh, one question

Do you prefer creating system links to xbin or having separate applets in /xbin?
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] Phil3759:
You mean symlink bin to xbin?

It's scripts like this that make XDA great!

Great script! This answers one of many questions along the way that arises when rom'ing, installing, editing, ect., that one wishes they had an answer to when updating Busybox on most custom roms. Not only did you provide and answer, but the solution as will. It's things like this that make learning fun as hell! Much thanks!

[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] paolilla:
Unfortunately nobody supplied some help.

The doubt if the uninstall has been only partially successful has remained unsolved...

However I continued using my smartphone with no apparent problems.

Finally I solved the question radically later on, when I decided (for other reasons) to reset my device with the original settings.

How to sign zip to work in stock recovery
[Samsung Infuse 4G] oeusr:
Hello All,

Earlier I had a boot loop problem, which was easily solved with One Click Unbrick Heimdall. After which I installed entropy's daily driver, installed CWM, and updated to CM10. For whatever reason, I kept losing signal and data. Originally, I thought it possibly a bug in the rom, but after trying Paranoid Android and also qkster's Clean_Wipe script, I decided to go back to stock.

After going back to stock, I now get an "Invalid Sim Card!" message after a few minutes with the screen off (I have signal and data working before this), and this problem persists until I reboot the phone. After rebooting, it will show this message again.

One weird thing I noticed was that I do not get the "Invalid Sim Card" message, nor do I lose signal when my phone is plugged in and charging. Any ideas on what is causing this and what I can do to fix it? It's the same sim card I've had all along.

Thanks
[Samsung Infuse 4G] ApexPredatorBoids:
I've had the CM10 issue where EFS folder gets lost, which wipes out all radio functions, but never an invalid SIM error message. I don't have anything to offer that'd address your specific problem.

One thing that may be worth trying would be to Heimdall back to stock again, and then flash the bootloaders. After the initial flash, leave the Heimdall screen running and check the "Flash Bootloaders" box. Once the phone is booted up after the initial flash, shut it down again and boot into download mode. Then flash again, but this time it'll also install the bootloaders.

May or may not help, but there's always the remote possibility that something could have somehow been corrupted with the first flash, and this will at least help eliminate a variable and let you start troubleshooting with a clean slate.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] oeusr:
I didn't get the invalid SIM error message on CM10 (just lost signal), only on stock gingerbread. But I'll try flashing bootloaders and let you know if that fixes my problem.

EDIT: I keep getting a message saying it cannot upload pit file. Any suggestions?
[Samsung Infuse 4G] ApexPredatorBoids:
Reboot PC and try again. Sometimes it's just a random USB quirk. Maybe try switching USB ports. If you do reboot the PC, you'll have better luck with getting a good connection afterwords if you pull the phone's battery and reboot it into Download Mode.

---------- Post added at 07:40 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:33 PM ----------

I guess I should put out this warning: IF you're having alot of trouble getting a reliable USB connection for Heimdall, you should be cautious when considering flashing the Bootloaders. From my understanding of things, a bad Bootloader flash is about the only way to really brick an Infuse.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] oeusr:
I rebooted. No such luck. I can still boot into download mode and recovery, but not into the actual OS now. I've flashed the bootloaders before when I was semi bricked, so I thought that it would work again. This was the only computer I had success on before. So I'll have to see if I can get another computer to work.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] ApexPredatorBoids:
I always keep a decent selection of ROM zips on my internal SD for such occasions. Since you can get into CWM, see if you can mount USB storage and transfer a different ROM to your phone, assuming you don't already have some saved on it. It'll at least give you functionality again, while you figure your Heimdall issues out. Assuming that it was a wiped-out EFS folder that caused your JB connectivity issues, I'd try flashing back to that for now. I've only had that happen once, in approximately 10 JB flashes, so it seems to be a bit of an unlikely occurrence, for the most part. Odds are, it'll be fine this time around.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] oeusr:
Err I don't have CWM anymore since I used Heimdall to go back to stock. And I don't think it was the EFS folder for my connectivity issues, because I had the same issues on stock.

EDIT: got it back to stock on a different computer. Will post again if I encounter the "invalid sim card" problem again

[EDIT2: back to stock, still have the problem :(/I]
[Samsung Infuse 4G] ApexPredatorBoids:
Maybe there was a slight issue with the SIM card reader and the flashing about exacerbated the problem to where it showed itself. If you're still within your warranty period, maybe look into getting a replacement?
[Samsung Infuse 4G] oeusr:
Not within warranty unfortunately. Are there any other options do you think? Forgot to mention, I put my sim card in a non smartphone for a little while. perhaps that messed with my sim card?
[Samsung Infuse 4G] ApexPredatorBoids:
Seems unlikely. As far as I know, the only thing that can be written to the SIM card is new contacts. If you happen to have another AT&T SIM card available, I'd try putting it in and seeing if it still gives the same error message. If it does, obviously, it's something with the phone, or at least the software. If not, maybe the SIM did somehow manage to go bad. It's not a problem I've ever run into. I'm out of ideas.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] captemo:
did you remove SIM when flashing the JB roms???

OP's have warnings about leaving SIM card in for flashing, at least first flash anyway.

also suggests doing EFS back up.

always tell people "read read read"

not trying to do the "told you so" thing here, probably not helping.

can't you get new SIM from store?
[Samsung Infuse 4G] ApexPredatorBoids:
Perhaps you should take your own advice, and "read read read" again. You have your cards mixed up. The recommendation is to remove your external SD card, not the SIM card. I've never removed my SIM for flashing, and never had any issues because of it.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] qkster:
If I read this correctly, you went directly from gb to cm10.

Your error wasn't so much as sim or signal. It is due to the mtd conversion from gb voodoo.

Seems like the correct way would be: gb to cm7/cm9, then cm7/cm9 to cm10.

If you check about phone, you will likely see garble on the imei line.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] oeusr:
Sorry, I left out that I did go to cm9 before hand.And i did not have an imei garbled line; mtd conversion went fine.

haha I'm not that much of a newb :P

[Samsung Infuse 4G] oeusr:
Sorry qkster, I didn't mean any disrespect! I was just trying to playfully say that I had read the OP and followed the directions beforehand.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] qkster:
np...I have always recommended ppl to specifically state the problem they are experiencing in complete detail, step wise and leaving nothing out.

It helps those to are willing to help others better understand where you are coming from.

In your instance, to isolate the hw vs firmware issue, you may want to consider Heimdall 1 click uckj4 or uclb3 package with complete boot loader box checked to get back to a complete stock.

Or Odin one of the leak package with pit and repartition.

If you have successfully done this and the sim issue or signal remain, it is possible that it's a hardware issue
[Samsung Infuse 4G] oeusr:
Yes, after using Heimdall 1 click and back to stock a few times, I'm starting to think it's a hardware issue. Thanks ApexPredatorBoids and qkster for the help.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bcrsr:
Is it reasonable to expect the Sprint Galaxy Nexus WiFi to perform as well as the HTC EVO 4G LTE WiFi? If not, what should I expect as being a reasonable level of WiFi range?

I have great signal for 3G and no LTE here yet. Not expecting it for some time and no need to question the 3G service. However, WiFi is poor on every ROM I have tried. I have tried 2 different routers at home on both 2.4 and 5Ghz and have found settings that make the connection stronger, but still nothing near the EVO. I have taken the Nexus to the local Starbucks and Panera testing the connection with the same results. Since I have both phones I plan to ride it out for a chance that software will make this better.

I am curious what others are experiencing on WiFi with the Sprint Galaxy Nexus and what routers are working well on what bands.

Thanks.

[HTC Wildfire S] crumfret:
I have tried several thread tutorials but have still not solved my problem. I know what my problem is, It is in Diagnostic mode/Download mode because I F***** up the radio trying to revert to stock via RUU_Gsm_virginmobileusa.exe(Not the exact name but you get my point) It was apparently the UK version of the RUU which makes me f****** wonder why it has USA in the name.Back to my point, when I hold power it vibrates 3 times with no orange/green L.E.D. It is a VIRGINMOBILE USA CDMA phone and was previously rooted and loaded with CM9 but the user did not like it so wanted it reverted to stock. It has Clockwork mod and all that stuff so anything I can do to fix it would be great. Help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi everyone, I know we can add shorcuts in the lockscreen in CM10, but I'm trying to get a shorcut to toggle between silent mode and normal mode, just as the stock lockscreen, but I can't find the right option, can someone help me do this?

Thanks in advance! :)
[Milestone 2 General] Ashareth:
Didn't find it yet, will let you know if i do.

On a side note, anyone managed to get both the "standard" lockscreen (ie : with the unlock/camera shortcuts and so on) and the unlocking via pattern (ie : have the normal lockscreen who pops the pattern unlock once unlocked) ?

Didn't find a way to do that.
[Milestone 2 General] Lean946:
I think it's settings -> lock screen -> screen security -> show widgets before unlock.
[Milestone 2 General] Caesarivs:
Yes, I've read somewhere that that option in particular wasn't working, I've tested it and it worked fine
[Milestone 2 General] Ashareth:
Rooh thanx a lot it works. :D

I hadn't put together the "displaying widgets" option and the "stock lock" activation. :D

Soo i guess i'll now have to search a bit more to get the mute/unmute widget on the lock screen (and get rid of that silly google shortcut on it :D).

edit : after a few search and tests :

- we aren't the only ones trying to get a mute/unmute button on said lockscreen, but i didn't find a solution

- it seems pushing and maintaining pushed the two vol+/- buttons at lock screen makes the sound control panel appear and interactive (as a "poor" substitute for the mute/unmute widget on lock :()

- the camera app button "works" in the way it start the app... but it still requires to unlock the lock screen and phone to get to it (at least in my tests :D).
[Milestone 2 General] Caesarivs:
I've tried a lot of options from "activities" and it seems there's no option to do that :(

What I'm doing is to disable lock security and while locked I can still roll the notification bar down (when no pattern, pin or password set, of course) and toggle from the switcher on the notification bar... I still think that the lockscreen widget would be better though...

Thanks for searching too :)

[LG Nitro HD] drumist:
You have a Telus P935 phone with the AT&T P930 leaked ICS v18f ROM installed on it. All the P93x devices are identical, so there's nothing wrong with having that installed on that device.

If you want to install custom ROMs, you will need to follow the unbricking guide to downgrade to Gingerbread. From there you can install CWM and then flash to any P93x ROM you want.

If you only want root and you are happy with LG's ICS ROM, then I'd actually recommend that you update your phone to the newest Telus ICS ROM which is improved over the one you have installed. You can root it easily as well, however you can't install CWM from any of the ICS ROMs.
[LG Nitro HD] pingpongpyro:
well first of all, thanks a ton, and also , could you refer me to a gyde to the unbrick place and the telus ics rom... thanks
