update on strange problem

First of all I apologize for all this confusion with replies to my own questions but I don't know any other way to relay the information. I'm troubleshooting as I go and hope it helps define what the issue may be and maybe a fix haha! Okay!! So I get root access easy as pie in terminal, no issues whatsoever, so I did a little searching and this is what I've found. The problem seems to be su is listed twice within my system folder (see below).

PROBLEM

root@edison:/system/app # ls

Superuser.apk <<< is listed in the right location

# cd ..

root@edison:/system #

root@edison:/system/bin #

su <<< is listed here

root@edison:/system/xbin #

su <<< is also listed here?

That can't be right? Shouldn't it only be in the /bin folder? Having downloaded the A2 ICS Root zip file I explored the Windows root.bat file in a text editor and saw that SU is suppose to install to /bin. So how the heck did it get in 2 different locations? ha!!! I'm guessing this would cause some issue but before I go deleting the extra file I thought I should inquire first. Haha!

Doh!!!! I know it's got to be something I did!
[Motorola Atrix 2] jimbridgman:
That is completely correct. The su in /system/xbin is a link to /system/bin/su. And that is correct, and how it should be.

Please explain your issue in more detail as I am not fully understanding what is not working.
[Motorola Atrix 2] Aimless Rambler:
Rooted again?? :)

The issue was my phone was not actually rooted after running a2_ics_root.sh in Terminal (computer). I got the "cannot stat 'su': No such file or directory cannot stat 'Superuser.apk': No such file or directory" error message in terminal and also checked root by running a terminal emulator app within the phone and received the no permission message after entering su at the prompt. Once I reconnected the phone to the computer and ran the sh file again I gained temporary root. That's when I noticed su was in two different locations as I mentioned above and you subsequently replied was normal. Of course before I saw your response I had already removed (rm command) the extra su ha! After removing the su file from /xbin it alone did not fix the problem. I still could not access root. So I reran the a2_ics_root.sh in terminal (computer) and got root with no error messages and verified it with my phone's terminal app (also got the Superuser root access permission check, which I hadn't got before). No idea why this worked if su was suppose to be in two locations. As I was in the phones terminal emulator app I checked the /xbin folder and did not see it reappear yet it all seems rooted now! Ha! Gosh my brain hurts.

You are rooted!
[Motorola Atrix 2] jimbridgman:
Did you by chance try and use some sort of root keeper before trying to do the OTA, then had these problems after the OTA was completed?

We have seen this before, and the reason you got the stat errors is because the wrong versions of the files were in /system/bin and /system/xbin. Yeah we have found that trying to use any OTA root keepers are BAD on this phone. Motorola is so anal about updates. That is why we mention to do an fxz before doing any OTA, then using the root scripts afterwards.

If you still have any more issues you might think about using the new ICS fxz in the development section and using/redoing the script from there.

P.S. I saw that you said you dragged the script into the terminal, that is a bad way to run it, BTW.... Try and open a terminal and cd into the dir that you unzipped the script in, and then into the ics_root dir and type ./root.sh and see if that works a little better next time, that might be why you only got temp root, because it was not able to find the proper su and superuser.apk to copy over with adb, I use relative paths in the script just for ease.
[Motorola Atrix 2] Aimless Rambler:
Thanks! I'm sure I did something to cause the troubles but can't recall exactly what it was I did wrong! My brain is getting old. Ha! But to answer your question ... other than my original root (using Motofail) I've hesitated to do anything until after the ICS update. I recently bought the phone 2nd hand to replace my Samsung Captivate so I could experiment with a Lapdock (in my line of work portability and multi-role is a plus). The phone was stock when I got it. Also, I had moved the root.sh file and superuser.apk into my Android/Platform_Tools folder which is in my system path (android rules,etc), so there was some forethought prior to dragging the script into terminal. Next time I'll 'cd it like ya recommend!

Could it be there was an issue with how I did the original GB motofail root?

In any case all seems to be good now.

Thanks again!

I wasn't able to get USB tethering to work. I froze the tethering provision app, and the settings FC. I tried activating tethering via widget, and it won't turn on.

For me, only wifi tethering works.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] salmanaman:
Whoever got this to work please explain what settings you use for wifi tethering app to work please
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] mha1021:
Alright guys finally got this working on my Note 2.....

If you need the wifi tether then follow this...

First what you need to do is Flash XquiziT N2 Rom v3 and make sure you select wanam 15 toggle instead of stock toggle during installation . you might wanna know why this Rom, Because it has Wanam's 15 Statusbar Toggle that has HotSpot toggle.

Second the Replace the APN setting Follow this LINK

and once you replace the APN setting Reboot and use the hotspot toggle under notification and ENJOY. FYI i have the unlimited data plan.

I tried the APN changer with rooted stock Rom and it didn't work only XquiziT Rom w15 toggle and APN changer worked for me...

Finally i would like to Thank nightfox11 for posting it here and WarlockW for making the APN Changer
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] MattZTexasu:
Once I deleted the apns, and restored the xml file in the OP, I was able to activate tethering using this widget: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.achmyr.android.froyo
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] akpirani83:
I've had no luck with wifi tether, what settings and app have you used? Also does the tethering provision app need to be frozen?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] MattZTexasu:
I followed the directions in the OP, then used a widget to activate wifi tethering. the tethering provision app does not need to be frozen, however, if you try to turn on tethering via the settings menu, it will undo the hack. You will have to delete your apns, and restore again.

If you freeze the tethering provision app, the settings menu will force close when trying to activate tethering. This will prevent it from undoing the hack.

Native USB tethering does not work; but proxying through ADB works (it has always worked).

that's all there is to it.

Using the widget linked in the quote (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.achmyr.android.froyo) I got wifi tethering working no problem!! Super Sweet!!!

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] gaww:
Working here also. Used 15 toggles in [UVLJ1][28 Oct] XquiziT N2 Rom v3 to turn on the Hotspot. Did not have to mess with APN's, etc.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] igorenyuk:
Oh wow I replaced the APNs last night and was using some random widgets from the market to turn the Hotspot on. I would be able to connect to the Hotspot but the pages wouldn't load up. Just kept timing out. I was already about to flash the Xquizit rom but then decided to just try the widget being talked about in this thread, https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.achmyr.android.froyo. And holy crap it solved my problems. Tethering is up and running. Tmobile can suck on that!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] windctyaudi:
so are you on the stock t-mobile rom and rooted? I don't want to change my rom all i want to do is root so i can tether.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] igorenyuk:
Yup, just rooted using mskip's note II tool and then APN replacement trick. And as everyone says, do NOT try turning tethering on through the settings. Use a 3rd party tethering widget (link in the previous post). Let us know if it works out for ya!

---------- Post added at 02:06 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:00 PM ----------

It sounds like your regular Hotspot password. After you turn tethering on with a widget, go into the tethering app, select 'configure' and you can either change the network key/password to whatever you'd like or make it an open network

hi all,

im currently on cyanogen 2012 09 04 nightly but crashes and hangs are getting more and more regular. I'm currently travelling so dont have access to a pc ( so cant do a nand backup ).

i would like something thats more stable and it would be great if i could somehow get around the I/O problems as at the moment the tablet is unusable is google play updates are happening...also, if im copying or deleting photos in bulk it slows to a halt sometimes and occasionaly crashes.

should i goto the official JB?

or andro wook?

or the cgomez JB rom?

i'm not on the jellybean bootloader so would i need to do something with that first?

Sorry about the million questions but i'm very often on extremely slow internet connections so even downloading roms takes hours and hours...

thanks.

Flashable? No need for that. Just download sounds mp3's etc. They work fine
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] jets76:
spoonerdee, I disagree. I prefer not sifting through crappy ringers littering the system folders.

Every time I flash a new ROM I flash my own zip with sounds I prefer. I also find that apps that rely on tones I set 'find' them using this method when restoring thru Titanium more frequently. I Have attached that zip to this post. It is a collection of nice clean sounds and some nice loud ones as I work on a job site. '8-bit point' is a loud notifier while great loud ringers are 'Standard 4' and 'Classic.'

If you are using this zip please note:

Flashing this zip will delete/replace all files in the following 3 folders! Feel free to open the zip in winrar, add/remove your preferred files and save. Do NOT extract and re-zip the file as it won't flash.

[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] dsperlich:
Windows treats every USB port independently. So windows has to "install" the driver again for every new USB port used. If you connect the Sony USB cable to the port the Samsung is currently connected to it should also work for the Sony cable.

I am Planning to buy this Beast but as sources indicate that this phone will land in India by the End of November. But its price point is a big mystery as the LG Optimus G sell's l for around 30,000/- over here in India and it has the same Specs. So what are your thoughts about getting this device and how are you going to get it.

Edit:- Bad news guys http://pricebaba.com/blog/coming-up-nokia-lumia-510-lg-l9-htc-8x-one-x

Edit 2:- Right now there are three options from where you can get this device

1) Ebay (I'll prefer this as my money is in safe hands)

2) FirangiBhai

3) Wait for LG to release in India
[Nexus 4 General] dhruvmalik:
Its very hard to predict what Google & LG will do in India and whether if Amit Gujral is actually BSing or telling the truth.

In one hand, LG wants to sell its Optimus G on the other hand, Google is looking to push its Nexus line across to the world at a reasonable rate. Considering the same hardware specs and most likely the build quality, I assume that the LG Optimus G would be priced a bit less than the Nexus. It would be more attractive for those who want a "SD" Card and the "Same" specs. But what the Nexus line holds is the possibilities for the Future and Custom Roms, not to mention, Direct Google Updates.

Just my rant here, but I think it would be aproxx 35k or so. Which is still good considering all things and Official Support.
[Nexus 4 General] nandan.1390:
28K - 32K is for sure, and i belive price is decided by Google not LG, LG only comes when it comes to service, as of now i am thinking to wait, i have G-Nexus now, thinking to push it to someone else and get LG from someone returning from US, as i did for my G-Nex, it might cost around 22K:confused:

Screw LG if they price this over 25k in India for the 16GB variant .. $350 comes out to 19k in Indian Currency .. so 25k seems pretty darn reasonable.

Well it's quite hard to predict the future but i think if its under 20k mark then it would take the indian market on storm

Well, I registered in the LG site and mailed them, asking for details regarding this phone. [price and availability].

Not surprisingly, no answers from them. Wish I had a few contacts in LG :P

By the way, it would definitely not be under 20k. I am hoping that it is below 30k, 25-26k if possible :). [ Google won't be distributing this phone, so it will be upto LG to decide price.] But, it would be quite weird if this retails for 35k+, almost double the us price!! Let's wait and see .
