[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] jcase:
Look at this guide on linux file permissions for a better understanding http://www.tuxfiles.org/linuxhelp/filepermissions.html

Why would it need to be root? You have it world writable.

Here is one possible scenario

Rouge app monitors the mount options on system, waiting for a program to remount it. Say Supersu (or any common root app that occasionally remounts system partition to preform a common function) decides it needs to update su, and remounts system (or worse some rom dev who doesn't know what he is doing leaves system mounted rw).

Our rouge app detects remount of the system partition, it is now writable if permissions allow. Sine you left the init.d dir world writable, our rouge app can freely write to it without any additional permissions. It decides to drop it's own script that drops a root shell.

Then it can wait for the user to reboot, present a fake prompt informing them that the need to reboot, or use a reboot vulnerability to force the reboot (search my github and you will find a few I found, should be patched now).

Device reboots, runs the script, cat sh > backdoor, chmod 06755 backdoor. Now the app can get root access without permission.

TL;DR: dont hide the keys to your house under the welcome mat
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Scott:
Ok gotcha! Thats what I didint understand but makes sense now. I noted the suggested changes in both threads and will edit the init.d in the meta inf folder when I get out of work.

U realize meta inf folder has nothing to do with a meta inf folder. These files are to run a install things on a recovery. They never touch ur /system so ur not placing them anywhere. Please dont mess with this unless u know what ur doing. This wont make u get a black screen.

Credit is under my post "CyanogenMod is awesome" and they are awesome, they do all the work and all the credits and donations go to them.

As for the download link, their cm download website has limited storage so the older ROMs roll off and they get reposted for PUBLIC access again and again. So credit goes to my good friend Google and to me for googleing the file name "cm-10.1-20130423-NIGHTLY-skyrocket.zip" and clicking the results. This is a community of people trying to lend a hand and help if they can.

This is the primary reason I didn't join XDA since day one ( God know since 2009-10) that I had a htc nexus, and galaxy s then ... now I727 because I've been reading XDA and didn't want to deal with people like you going around telling people to do this or don't do that. But I now realize if I can help, then I will, and I will abide to all the rules and regulations of the site.

But still if you think your point there is really important to taking up these thread space (which is limited as well) I suggest you go ahead and engrave it down in stone, and hang it on your room's wall.

Can I simply flash this over a newer build?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Commodore 64:
No that is asking for trouble. Theoretically it could work if you wipe your cache only, and then flash but I don't recommend it at all.

If you're worried all your customizations, wallpapers, apps, ... will go away then follow these steps:

Go to CMW recovery

-Start with a full backup at CWM recovery.

-Format data, cahche, system, dalvik cache (Don't reboot)

-install UCMC1 radio

-install the CM10.1

-install the 20130301 gapps

-go to advanced restore (restore only the data portion of your backup). Only Now Reboot your phone.

-Let it sit for 10-15 minutes, then turn it off and on. and enjoy.

doing this will only take an extra 15-20 minutes depending on how much data you're backing up and restoring, but doing a dirty flash on top of flash ... who knows what happens next
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] car vs driver:
Yup ... just wipe dalvik & cache first. No need to wipe data.

radio

I actually want to know the answer to the OP Question, I don't think just because you flash something over another does not mean is completely gone unless you erase it first. I broke my auto rotate by flashing radio .48. So therefore I definitely want to learn if I could adb fastboot erase radio before flashing a radio.

Should be no problem, I have done it myself on a few occasions.

You don't need to erase the radio before flashing another one it makes absolutely no difference. The reason your auto rotate broke was because you were on a 4.2.1 rom

[General Questions and Answers] Nikguy:
So I rooted my LG Lucid 2 from this guide: http://androidforums.com/lucid-2-al...ition-5-7-13-full-technical-notes-inside.html

The one thing I noticed is that afterwards, tethering by any method (wifi tether, usb tether, bluetooth tether) is now impossible. After doing some research i think that the rooting method removed the system app "hotspotprovision.apk"

I know the root for this phone had to dissable some root checker tool that lg built into the phone, but do you think that removing the hotspot app is necessary? or can i get it back without having my phone tell verizon that i'm messing with my phone (the link tells all about the weird root checking tool LG tried to hide)?

Any help would be awesome! I just need some way to tether due to it being my main source of internet when i am at school.

all apps like pda net, foxfi, wifi tether, and all the other apps just start with errors, and when i try to start up the built in usb tether option i just get an error saying "Sorry! Unfortunately Provision has stopped"
[General Questions and Answers] Nikguy:
Even with a factory reset and/or re flashing the firmware is still doesnt work.

Has ANYONE else with this phone tried to use any tether apps? If so have they worked or failed? I don't even know if this is happening to just me, or if everyone who owns this phone is without the tether ability

It would just help me a lot to know if somebody else has the same problem or even doesn't. I'm trying to decide if I need to return the phone or if i just need to wait for a software update of some sort..

Thanks guys for the help.

So for some reason no matter what i do, wireless tethering wont work unless i bought the tether service for verizon... i got the usb tether side of foxfi to work but so far wireless tethering is out of the question.

I cant believe no one has posted about this problem except me! Is it literally only me that has this problem? Ive been posting about this all over the internet since the phones release and so far no one has tried to use a tether app to confirm that this is not just a defect with my particular phone!

I had that issue with an old LG Optimus Logic

I'm glad I read this thread, because i was about to root my Lucid 2, but I probably would've ran into this problem too. I think some people who have this phone with Verizon Wireless were given a different type of software for tethering. I'm guessing me and you have one of those ones where It only works solo. No mods allowed, but the app below has been said to work regardless. I guess it's worth a shot.

Verizon uses an authentic piece of software for their tethering protocol. I don't know why it seems so mysterious, but it doesn't seem to work exactly like most hotspot protocols. You might have to confess, and get them to help you out. If i were you, and If the original tethering app doesn't work, then try to install the stock firmware back, and use a different root method next time.

-update-

Try 'Tetherfy(WiFi Tether w/o Root) on play store. I don't think i'll be able to make an 'apk' file out of Verizon's 'Mobile Hotspot' app. I believe they have it locked into phone.

The guy's method in the post above might work too. I don't see why not.

[Ouya Android Development] TadeoNYC:
My Ouya was listed twice in Device manager and one of them was a driver problem. I manually selected my Samsung adb drivers from the list and it works fine. the easiest way yo get those is to install KIES. This was with 64 bit Windows 7.

TIP: The micro usb port is extra deep and my samsung cables don't work, fortunately I have a Kodak one that does.

It motivated to set up wireless adb.
[Ouya Android Development] egandt:
Not getting very far, first I downloaded the SDK, which will not run on my system, might be the AV/FW or something else, but it attempts to find java (which is in the path), and then it does nothing. So I try to go the ClockWorkMod way using the Universal driver (as I saw that should work), that is better as I at least have drivers and it finds my device, but it also will not install throwing a message: "hash for the file is not present in the specified catalog. The file is likely the corrupt or the victim of tampering." Well duh, I modified the inf to get it to find the hardware for the OYUA. I'd just use Google's if I could get a copy without installing the SDK since that is obviously not going to working on this system. Any suggestions, so far while adb works fine with the G3 on this system it appears impossible to setup for the OUYA.

Please note: in C:\Java\jdk1.7u21 is the JDK in c:\java\jre is the JRE. So they are both present and up to date. If I open a command prompt and type java -version it is located and works fine, so no understanding of what "SDK Manager.exe" is doing.

Also, yes I followed the thread as best I could, first copying java into c:\android makes no sense, but I tried it (did nothing), second the adb driver does not require any extraction, where is the usb driver, it must be in a zip somewhere in the SDK for it to be installable, so can I just manually extract it?

Thanks,

ERIC
[Ouya Android Development] TadeoNYC:
By G3 do you mean Galaxy S3? If so then hopefully you already have Kies installed. When I connected my OUYA and started all of this, it did not install properly. It showed up twice in device manager, it was installed as a portable device, but was also listed as "other device" and not installed. After a lot of searching,I saw that people had been able to get out working by manually selecting the Samsung adb drivers that are included with Kies. It worked for me. You need to manually select the drivers (have disk) and install OUYA as a MTP device.

Regarding the SDK I know nothing. It installed just fine on Windows 7 for me.

Good luck

[Ouya Android Development] FrostyWolf:
Sideloading it relatively trivial for this. It is on by default (and can be toggled the usual way, you can access setting at manage->system->advanced-> security).

I used Real APK Leecher to snag ES File Explorer's APK, threw it on a web server, then downloaded it using OUYA's browser (make->software->browser). Installed it from settings (manage->system->advanced->storage->downloads)

The app then shows up under make->software

I have not tried a pen drive yet, but you could probably throw apks on a drive and use the USB port and install in a similar fashion.
