[Xperia Z Original Android Development] [NUT]:
Cr*p, I'm out of thanks to give the usual way today, so:

Thanks for the useful info, you scared me a bit there :)

The way i do the remount of / is no problem in 2 ways: it only remounts when really needed and as it is indirectly executed by init, it will never cause ric to intervene and trigger a reboot. If you have the reboot issue, remounting rootfs (/) from any root explorer app actually does cause a reboot.

About your ric killer application: nice! I've never programmed in C, otherwise I might have attempted something similar. But I know bash/ash scripting, so I fixed it the way I knew best :)

From my perspective you could make your daemon exit once it has killed /sbin/ric after changing it's permissions to 644. I've been testing my fix for a few days now (on stock kernel and re-locked bootloader) and the method in this thread completely prevents it from starting /sbin/ric ever again :victory:
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] Carceri:
My daemon does exit once it has killed ric and made sure it cannot start again.

Whatever respawns init keeps checking, so deleting the file, making it non executable or replacing it with a dummy all works. If you chmod 755 it again, ric does respawn on my phone, so something (probably init) keeps trying to start it if it isn't running.

On my phone (before killing ric) mounting / rw does not cause a reboot, but mounting /system rw does. Weird.
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] [NUT]:
That would be init indeed, as it's a service without 'oneshot' (fires only once, then init stops monitoring) or 'disabled' (init never fires it but it waits for an explicit call to get that service started).

I've found a guide on the Android init daemon/process, I'll post a link to it in this thread tonight, it's an interesting read :)

I never tried to restart the init process to be able to disable the service though, might be attempting to do so some day. It is what the recoveries do with the chargemon hijack method, they stop all services, unmount everything, cleans up the ramdisk and then unpacks the recovery to start it's init binary.

I'll try that some time soon and see if that will work as well, that would probably be the cleanest way, it would render killric.sh and your application useless as they would no longer be needed, simplifying and 'niceifying' the entire process. :)
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] shoey63:
Yep, this fix works perfectly!

Flashed stock .307, unlocked bootloader, flashed [MENTION=2784807]DooMLoRD[/MENTION] kernel then rooted through recovery, flashed root fix, flashed stock .307 kernel and then restored TA partition.

Rebooted and used Root explorer in system with R/W permissions. No reboots :D

Congrats [MENTION=4904057][NUT][/MENTION] :good:
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] [NUT]:
[MENTION=3379666]Carceri[/MENTION]

I've been experimenting with that and so far I have not been very successful... apart from not working as i hoped (it reboots after the second init attempt), it also repeats a few parts of the boot process as crtlaltdel is executed too late during the init and thus it will allow you to enter recovery twice for example :silly:

It might be needed to re-hijack the chargemon process as this is executed precisely at the right time for this idea to work... but doing so will break compatibility with all available recoveries... and throws in some caveats for the recovery users... just the thing i was trying to fix for all and any of the Z/ZL lovers ;)

Stuff to ponder on... :eek:

*ponders on* Maybe I can use the ctrlaltdel script to 'fix' anything that breaks and then trigger a reboot to make sure the user gets to boot in to a good working android...

chargemon would be my new rickiller script, it checks for the flagfile it creates itself, if it's not found it will do the RIC fix, then create's the flagfile and restarts init. With the second init it will find the flagfile and will execute the re-hijacked chargemon hijack script to offer recovery. If not chosen to enter recovery it will just continue boot.

Once ctrlaltdel gets started it checks if the md5sum of the chargemon script is what it's supposed to be. If not, it will create a backup of that chargemon file for execution by the re-hijacked chargemon script that it copies from a backup file somewhere (probably simply in /system/bin) corrects permissions and then triggers a reboot...
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] [NUT]:
PRECAUTION: This post is on the file attached, it has no meaning regarding the OP: that fix works just fine.

Well, I'm putting my scripting online that i wrote on the above idea for those in the know, I'm not sure why it does not work but

THIS DOES

NOT

WORK

For anyone who wants to help out, you are welcome to take a look... you can even try it (put the 2 files inside /system/bin) but note the warning above... :p

To recover from the tantrum it throws, be sure to have an unlocked bootloader and DooMKernel installed. You will need TWRP to get you out of trouble, which is easy: mount system, use advanced -> filemanager and look inside /system/bin. chmod chargemon and ctrlaltdel to 644. Reboot and you're out of trouble. :)

Who has any idea why this does not work?
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] FSN:
well, it sadly doesn't help me.. I'm on Odexed Stock ROM .307

if I try to rename / delete / add an apk into /system/app/ my phone still reboots..
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] [NUT]:
Can you check if there is a file called killedric in /tmp?
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] FSN:
I don't have this file. Locked BL, flashed w/ TWRP 2.4.0.0
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] [NUT]:
Right, then check things in succession, stop and report which you stopped at:

1. Check if /system/bin/killric.sh exists.

2. Open /system/bin/ctrlaltdel to see if it looks like the one on the OP.

3. Open a terminal app and see if killric.sh is running by typing the command 'ps | grep killric.sh'

If you have to say no to 1 and 2, reflash the zip. Then try again, if it still fails send me the logs from /cache/recovery
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] FSN:
1. Yes

2. Yes

3. If it returns 1 it runs, right?

Could it have something to do with the exFAT patch (for 64GB sd cards)?
[HTC One X+] Stardust71:
Hi,

updated Elegancia from 5.3 to 6.1, including new boot.img. Restored the data via backup from TWRP.

Then tried different things...

Now my phone is in such a state that whenever I try to boot into recovery, this somehow fails and the phone reboots (phone gets to teamwin starting screen).

Elegancia boots correctly, I can get into the boot loader. Flashed TWRP again, didn't help.

Any ideas, do have to erase some caches etc.?

Thanks.
[HTC One X+] reaper90:
Make sure "Fast boot" is disabled in power options of your phone. If this does not help, try flashing latest TWRP 2.5.0.0 if you don't have already.
[HTC One X+] JoeyBimmel:
Boot your phone in fastboot and make sure it is connected to your pc. So your phone will say fastboot usb. Now browse to a folder where you have fastboot.exe (like the data folder of the hansoon toolkit). Hold shift and right click. Now open cmd from the drop down menu. Enter "fastboot erase cache", now you can get into recovery again.

I consider this ROM is much better than the T-Mobile one's, since it has very few bugs compared to T-Mobile's ROM :)

and since there is no WM2003SE for XDA ,, then this ROM is the latest for this device!

Sorry guys if I did repeat myself :oops:

After installing ADP and fastbook, after I type a command, the dos window pops up and then disappears. When I open up the task manager, it is running in the background. Could this be a problem with Windows 8?
[Asus Transformer TF700] elfaure:
Its ADB (Android Debug Bridge) not ADP. I'll let it slide on fastbook because you got it right in the title.

Where are you typing these commands at, the Windows Run line or a cmd shell? Sounds like you might be running them from the run line. Nothing should pop-up because you should already be in the shell before you type your commands. You need to run "cmd" then from that shell type your commands. From the shell type "adb devices" to see if your PC can see your device over adb. If successful, the output will be your device SN. From the shell type "exit" to return to Windows (if run maximized) or to close the window (if run floating-whatever that's called, normal I think).

I had been running Wanam's ROM, and using Perseus kernel.

But now when I try to install another ROM, kernel or change the CWM zip I'm using it will always come back with a status 7 error. Flashing some ROM's just reboot, and go back into CWM.

I'm now stuck in CWM and can't boot up any ROM or can't restore a backup as its also saying status 7...

Have done a day of researching but any solution didnt work. Changing the updater-script to allow the i9500 didnt work as it already allowed any device to flash it.

third download XZDualRecovery http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2261606

fifth download Root by recovery by Emerald http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=41539852

How to Install

flash the ftf using flashtool-0.9.10.2beta6

flash doomlord's kernel v6 with fastboot

flash the zip root from cwm

if you are fine with the v6 doomlord's kernel you are done here you have updated your phone to the latest firmware with root and cwm

if not you can flash the stock kernel back with flashtool this is how.

do like if you want to flash the 10.1.1.A.1.307 ftf but untick wipe data, cache, appslog and tick system, baseband, unknown, fota and partition

to leave only loader and kernel to be flashed.

after this when you have your stock kernel back without CWM you still have root and now you can install the XZDualRecovery by following the instructions his thread.

If you have an unlocked bootloader it's as simple as...

1. Flash kernel,

2. Flash ROM, exclude kernel,

3. Flash ROOT zip (If kernel not rooted).
