Information on the sticky bit:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sticky_bit

This is the standard way in Unix/Linux to "allow anonymous creation", but "forbid deletion/renaming".

If uploaders are distinguished by username, then the sticky bit works exactly as intended, and forbids anyone from deleting the file unless they uploaded it, own the directory, or belong to a group which has write permission on the directory.

If uploaders are not distinguished by username, and are anonymous, then the sticky bit is still useful, because it allows anonymous users to upload to any directory, without allowing them to delete others' files. In this case of anonymous uploaders, the files should be uploaded as nobody, and then once they are uploaded, they should be automatically transferred to another user by the ftp program. This prevents anyone who is anonymous from deleting files, but it allows anonymous uploading. Most ftp servers have an option which sets the ownership that files become when they are uploaded. For example, in vsftpd:

Once the uploaded file's ownership is changed by the ftp server, the directory sticky bit ensures that anonymous users cannot delete it, and the permissions/umask 022 used to create it ensures no-one can modify it. (The ftp server can also enforce permissions on top of the underlying filesystem permissions, but that is entirely ftp-server-specific.)

Non-anonymous users, and groups of them, can also create their own directories, and then maintain full discretion on their contents without requiring either central control nor sacrificing security. It can be community-driven. I could create my own "BA2" directory without anyone's permission, and then control its permissions myself. That is in the same spirit as Wiki, and is necessary with people coming and going all the time and owners being on vacation.

The main thing to be concerned about, once these permissions are set up right, is denial of service attacks, whether of bandwidth or disk space. Disk quotas for anonymous uploads can prevent denying disk space to regular users, but will still block all anonymous uploads once the quota has been reached, until the files are moved to different owners by the directory owners. Bandwidth control is hard to do without compromising efficiency or fairness to legitimate users. It probably requires either smart AI, or human intervention.

dammit this sucks, I just bought my first Smartphone (Blue Angel) and wanted to upgrade it to WM6, but without the FTP site I can't download any of the files needed to do so.

I can't believe there's no backup, I hope that all of the members can restore the FTP server, at least most of it, since I just started I'm not much helpful.

Just follow instruction and require tool from htc dev bootloader,

I do that and my desire vc is unlocked and have root
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] demkantor:
S-off is security flags off, this is done via an exploit to the radio or flashing a patched hboot. If this has been done to your phone before the howto will be in a thread in your phones section. If there isn't a guide then you have to go to htcdev and just unlock your bootloader which isn't nearly as nice as s-off but at least will get you root access

It does nothing,what can I do to get it back?

Hi,

My GT-i9003 - IMEI number is lost. so i can't access any network.

Model: Samsung Galaxy SL GT-i9003

I tried a factory reset- shows failed to mount /efs (invalid argument)

I don't have any efs folder backup.

So i flashed new ROM

I downloaded-I9003XXKB3 and latona_20110114.pit

I flashed these files using Odin.

and done a factory reset.

But it remains same

IMEI:unknown

Then i tried ADB and super one click for rooting.

Without any backup of efs/nv_data.bin its not working, may be i have done wrong steps.

Please help to solve this problem.

If anyone has any other solution or option to repair or recover my imei number, plz help me.

Hello!

recently i bought htc sensation XE Lite edition(Second hand),it came up with official ICS 4.0.3.My question is how do i root htc sensation XE,Running ICS.also how do i unlock its bootloader? :confused:

PS:

I am totally newbie in htc so any noob friendly tutorial would be appreciated. :)

regards,

Evilking009,
[HTC Sensation] rzr86:
you have 2 options:

1)using htcdev method to unlock the bootloader and root

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1631861

after unlocking the bootloader flash this zip from recovery to root

http://download.chainfire.eu/333/SuperSU/UPDATE-SuperSU-v1.34.zip

2)use juopunutbear method to S-OFF and root the device

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1661631

the difference between S-ON and S-OFF

with S-OFF you are fully unlocked(means that you can flash also firmwares,radios,rils which on S-ON you can't)

with S-ON you are limited only for flashing custom roms anf kernels

what is Hboot?

Mostly i hearing in threads about Hboot,what's that thing,how do i know of what my device in hboot version ? :confused:

===========

How do i unlock my bootloader on Htcdev site,my device version is carrier-free(aka sim-free).
[HTC Sensation] rzr86:
switch off the device

remove and insert the battery

then press and hold together power button and volume down until it gets you to the bootloader screen

there you will see also your hboot version

unlocking bootloader and carrier free are different things
[HTC Sensation] EvilKing009:
Thanks.

By the way,does all these methods are safe to do ? (Hboot,root,bootloader etc)

PS: getting scary to being doing these methods :eek:

most of the users have done the second one

[HTC Sensation] rzr86:
basically it has the same steps for S-OFF and unlock bootloader

so you can use that too
[HTC Sensation] EvilKing009:
so i need to do is to first unlock bootloader(through Htcdev site).Flash any custom recovery and then root the device or I need to S-off the device too to get a root? :(

PS:

S-Off requires wire-trick which is like a operation of my device. :silly:
[HTC Sensation] rzr86:
there is no need to S-OFF for root too

for root you can choose either htcdev site or S-OFF method
[HTC Sensation] EvilKing009:
so after i unlock bootloader.So i just need a custom recovery to flash SU zip or just a stock recovery can flash SU zip to get a root? :rolleyes:
[HTC Sensation] rzr86:
no a custom recovery requires for su zip
[HTC Sensation] EvilKing009:
If i am not wrong.A custom recovery requires to be S-off ? :(
[HTC Sensation] rzr86:
no it doesn't require to be on S-OFF

see step 2 from this guide

[HTC Sensation] Far_SighT:
Follow this till you have a custom recovery with smartflash on.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1631861

Then copy any zip to sdcard, boot into recovery, flash.

If you get stuck in a boot loop, extract boot.img from your custom rom and use fastboot flash boot boot.img

I recommend that you do not soff or flash radios till you feel comfortable.

[LG Optimus 4X HD] KiD3991:
I'll be getting my O4X by tomorrow or Saturday. (rooting within 2-3 hours upon getting it)

I read about how to root, seems simple, one click tool kind of rooting system is there.

Is it compulsory to update to 4.1.2 first because it is ICS out of the box?

And do recommend me a starter ROM to try on, I'm thinking the official CM10.1(sounds tempting).

And any thing I should do to preserve battery more? Like switch to a certain suggested kernel.

No need to close 2 core because I'll underclock it to 1.0 or so by default.

And I heard something about factory reseting after root, but that applies to stock rom only right? To fix battery drain issue.

Do help me out. Thanks!
[LG Optimus 4X HD] Rudjgaard:
It is compulsory to update mainly because If you root and then update you loose root..

Iodak kernel and optimus prime are good with battery life, try any one of those

first update to jelly bean, then root and unlock bootloader, then install rom manager and cwm, then install cm 10.1 latest nightly and the eternity project kerlnel (realy good kernel, fast smooth, good performance and good battery life, and awesome screen colors). then install nova launcher, cause its better than cm´s trebuchet launcher :)
