[General Questions and Answers] PM128:
My Win terminal/cmd has 132 chars width, it must be some limitation either by adb or the shell of the device but this doesn't really matter since the command is always taken.

I tried to redo the step 2.) after I got the prompt by clicking enter several times, see the attached log of my attempts. So then the step 2.) seemed to get through giving me prompt but then by step 3.) the whole tablet froze hard. I had to kill the terminal and make hard reset of the tablet since the sparkling stars froze too. Tried to make the whole procedure after the half boot again... total freeze by step 3.) 😰

I am afraid if I would try to do factory reset of the tablet in recovery mode I might lose the settings for USB debugging (the adb gateway into the device) and the tablet would become completely unaccessible dead brick.

Do you still have energy to continue? Doesn't have to be today...
[General Questions and Answers] Drahflow:
Sorry, I fear I confused the versions of the .ko file between my device and the new development for yours. Could you kindly retry step 3 with the attached .ko?

And indeed, DO NOT factory reset. There is nothing to be gained and potentially the adb access to be lost.
[General Questions and Answers] PM128:
Heureka! :D I finally got the desired message about 'Identifier removed'. So here are the kernel messages attached. There are 16 lines with glomus in them.
[General Questions and Answers] Drahflow:
Perfect! Based on this, I prepared a glomus.ko for your (and I sure hope all) at300se.

It should work like this:

1. Get temp root

2. Replace (in memory only) gps_drv.ko with glomus.ko

root@tostab:/data/local/tmp # ./dirtycow glomus.ko /system/lib/modules/gps_drv.ko

3. Load replaced driver

root@tostab:/data/local/tmp # insmod /system/lib/modules/gps_drv.ko

Should again complain about "Identifier removed."

4. Try to mount /system read-write

root@tostab:/data/local/tmp # mount -o remount,rw /system

5. Enjoy your new power to modify the system image any way you like. (No replacing the kernel though, as I said initially.)
[General Questions and Answers] PM128:

[General Questions and Answers] Drahflow:
Now that is sad. :( It *could* be something entirely else is wrong with your tablet (e.g. it dies upon remounting the filesystem due to corruption or problems with the flash chip), but how likely is that?

Can you do other sealime-restricted operations, e.g.

root@android:/data/local/tmp # cp /modules/sealime.ko /data/local/tmp/

Test before and after loading glomus.ko. Without it loaded, it should give you a permission denied error, with glomus.ko loaded, it should work (and not freeze the tablet). If it still freezes, something has changed in how sealime can be unregistered between the at300se and the excite pro.

Even in that case, don't declare the tablet useless yet, someone posted a cheap at300se on ebay a few days ago so I can test locally.
[General Questions and Answers] PM128:
It didn't freeze the tablet but both ways before and after it's the same: Operation not permitted. 'cp' command is not recognized by the shell so I tried to use 'dd' instead see attached log. My knowledge of Linux is very limited.

If you would find a solution so that I could at least have it bootable again I would be so thankful. I understand it might take longer time but I guess I am not the only one who have successfully bricked the AT300SE device so it would help the community as well.
[General Questions and Answers] Drahflow:
You forgot to

root@android:/data/local/tmp # insmod /system/lib/modules/gps_drv.ko

after the dirtycow in your last test.
[General Questions and Answers] PM128:
You are right when I look back on that txt file that I created from some cut-off parts of the terminal window. But it may also be that Dr. Alzheimer suddenly called me interrupting my work :rolleyes: as he usually starts bugging me already at my age :D.

Anyway I tried again today (hopefully all the steps), it didn't freeze but 'Operation not permitted' :cry:

I am still wondering if the dirtycow chews the system successfully. Why are always coming still some messages within like 10~15 secs when it gave the # prompt already? At that moment the prompt disappears until I press the Enter again. Strange what is it doing. Like if the sealime would still win the race over the dirty cow...
[General Questions and Answers] Drahflow:
I read your last procedure log. Did you dcow the dump_memory.ko, maybe? You need to dcow the glomus.ko (and only that).

I.e.

1. Get temp root

2. dcow glomus.ko /system/lib/modules/gps_drv.ko

3. insmod /system/lib/modules/gps_drv.ko

4. Try some restricted operation: E.g. dd if=/modules/sealime.ko of=/data/local/tmp/sealime.ko

(Wouldn't hurt to have an adb logcat running in parallel to some other window, maybe we can still see some errors if it freezes again.)
[General Questions and Answers] PM128:
Hi Drahflow thank you for your persistence I thought you gave up on it. I dcow'd indeed the dump_memory.ko which came as instruction in your Post#127. So now I tried to dcow the glomus.ko and managed to get the sealime.ko module (see attached). The adb logcat runs constantly in the second terminal so I just copied some excerpts from it since it overwrites the buffer and runs and runs mostly with Fatal error 11.
[General Questions and Answers] Drahflow:
🎉 You being able to copy sealime.ko means that glomus.ko was able to disable sealime protections. Not having the same device in hand (still) it's hard to say for sure, but I'd assume that you now have full root; still temporary but unrestricted in what it can do.

😢 This implies your remount of /system killed the kernel for a different reason (I understand your device is also not booting normally anyway, probably same reason...)

Regarding the SEGV spamming in logcat: It's because the instructions apparently omitted creating backups of netd and debuggerd (dcow'ed for the temp-root). But since dcow is in-memory, it shouldn't be hard to fix:

1. Reboot device (this is important, otherwise you'll "backup" the already changed files)

2. cp /system/bin/debuggerd /data/local/tmp/debuggerd.orig

3. cp /system/bin/netd /data/local/tmp/netd.orig

4. Enable temp-root and check if the log-spam is now gone.
[General Questions and Answers] PM128:
When I shut down my laptop I always shut down the tablet as well. I had to use dd instead of cp since the shell doesn't have it. The logcat seems to still spam however it doesn't run so crazy fast any more. I managed to capture the complete logcat so you can have a look. Maybe it's still missing some more files (java.io?)
[General Questions and Answers] Drahflow:
The logcat looks as if debuggerd is already broken before you're executing the exploit. It *could* be that the kernel wrote it back at some point. In that case we'd need someone with a *working* AT300SE to send you a clean /system/bin/debuggerd and /system/bin/netd to use as the .orig files.
[General Questions and Answers] PM128:
Hi Drahflow it's been a while. I wonder if you got the tablet that you were to buy cheap from eBay? Mine is still screwed up after I tried to follow the procedure.
[General Questions and Answers] Drahflow:
Unfortunately not :( If anything comes up, I'll extract the files and post.
[General Questions and Answers] PM128:
From your post #135 on previous page I was believing you gonna buy that cheap tablet and test it locally. Well leasson learned and my tablet is screwed. Could you at least tell me what did you mean by '.orig' files? Could I simply replace the original files in the original system directory using the temporary root and leaving the extentions as e.g. .ko or the files must be copied somewhere else and naming them as ....orig? I tried to google and found on Github someone posted the kernel source for AT300SE but I assume it is a source code and cannot be used for simple copy of system files right?
[General Questions and Answers] Drahflow:
> Could you at least tell me what did you mean by '.orig' files?

Those would be the original (i.e. stock) versions of /system/bin/debuggerd and /system/bin/netd

The exploit works by replacing those (in RAM only, or that's what I thought) with some shell scripts giving you the temp-root. But apparently the broken versions were written back into your storage at some point. The temp-root scripts have commands to copy backup versions of those files back into the system RAM from /data/local/tmp/ - but for that it needs originals named debuggerd.orig and netd.orig.
[General Questions and Answers] Drahflow:
Got an AT300SE. The two original firmware (netd + debuggerd) files are attached and need to be put to /data/local/tmp to get them auto-restored after temp-root exploit has been run.

I'm not entirely sure what you'd need to do to get them written back to the durable storage. IIRC your tablet crashed the last time you tried to mount /system officially read/write. It might be enough to have the files in /data/local/tmp, run the temp-root (which should then patch the system ones with the originals in RAM) and reboot (via reboot CLI command, not hard-reset) to get the kernel to sync the dirty pages back to the fs.

Maybe a first good step is to copy the files, run temp-root and check if the log spam is gone.

guys,

please upload apk of SSX for Xperia Z1. i dont know if their server or my download speed is crap. :D

Head to xperia lounge then scroll down, look and click on SSX.

TIA

nvrmind after whole day finally finished downloading.crap :D
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] braveally:
Funny. When I try to download it, it tells me: Sorry SSX is only available for Free on Sony Xperia Z1 and Xperia Z Ultra. Could it be because of Puffin maybe?

It was the browser. The download is super slow here too.

i didnt had any speed problem downloading it.

if you cant find it in xperia loundge, just change your current language to English (US) in the app and SSX will appear in the list.

[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] EdwardsNT:
So... not 100% what I'm doing wrong, but everytime I try to flash CM 11 on my HOX, it fails. After multiple factory wipes and cache wipes, it still decides to fail. I have tried to search around and some of the stuff seems like it is missing some hidden steps that I cannot seem to pick out, so I figured I would post here instead to get some direct help with my issue. Whenever my phone goes into Fasboot, my computer also tells me the USB device is not recognized... but I am not sure if that will be an issue, but it only happens when I go into Fastboot mode.

My phone tells me there is an issue with the updater binary after it fails to flash/install CM 11.

My specs on bootloader are as follows

"EVITA PVT SHIP S-FF RL

CID-11111111

HBOOT-2.14.0000

RADIO-0.24P.32.09.06

OpenDSP-v34.1.0.45.1219

eMMC-boot

I will be more than willing to provide more info if it is needed, just let me know :)

To install that I would go through fastboot correct? I have yet to read the forum there, but will be doing so in the mean time.

[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Heisenberg:
Download the modified version of TWRP 2.6.3.0, put the file in your fastboot folder. Connect phone in fastboot mode, open command prompt from within fastboot folder, issue the following commands:

fastboot flash recovery "filename.img"

(the exact filename, minus the talking marks)

fastboot erase cache

fastboot reboot-bootloader

Now you can select recovery from your bootloader to enter TWRP recovery.

[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] mpd:
Backlight control doesn't work at all in any of the applications I have tried (Pocket Plus, Pocket Zenphone, PhoneAlarm). I have a WIZA100 (Cingular 8125) and have tried just about every ROM available - same thing. The only way to adjust (or even turn on or off) the backlight is the system applet.

Am I missing something? If not, how come there is virtually zero talk about this important limitation? The only reference to this problem I was able to find is in zendrui's release notes "- Backlight still doesn't work on K-Jam.. ".

Are there any third-party applications that can control Wizard's backlight?

Thanks,

Mike.

After the announcement of Ubuntu dual boot I visit their page

https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Touch/DualBootInstallation

(Please visit the page read it carefully to understand what I am talking about)

But I couldn’t understand how to do it under windows, so I open the dualboot.sh and took the link for Ubuntu Installer flashable zip and flash it through recovery.

http://humpolec.ubuntu.com/UPDATE-UbuntuInstaller.zip

I have Maguro with CM 11 4.4.2 installed (although not official “the one from Playfulgod”), with latest CWM recovery, and latest SuperSU installed. And of course opened boot loader…

After installing Ubuntu installer zip and booting to android you will find Ubuntu Dual Boot application, open it and hit install and that’s it. The installation may take more than 10 minutes…

After installation is complete you will have an app in Ubuntu to boot to android, and in android you have the app to boot to Ubuntu, uninstall it, or delete Ubuntu user data…

the first thing i noticed is when i set the time to GMT +3 it is changed in the setting but the clock in the indicators not updated, and of course it has the same lag in the previous Ubuntu touch builds if you know what I am talking about ( if you previously installed and try it ) so don't expect miracles with these developers builds and especially with Maguro specs..
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ferap:
Thanks man I'm going to try it now
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] t1.8matt:
Do you know what directories are added after installing this so you know what to delete if you don't want it on your phone anymore?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] salahmed:
If you want to uninstall it, just open the app (in Android)and select uninstall Ubuntu and it will ask you if you want to keep the user data(that's the case if you want to update Ubuntu, because right now updates can not installed directly and you need uninstall it and then install the newer version with keeping the user data) or you can delete the user data and nothing should be left in your phone and the application also should restore your recovery (CWM, TWRP) as in the installation Ubuntu will use your recovery Partition.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] t1.8matt:
OK, thanks. Just want to gather some info before I give it a try. In on toro so it'll be an experiment. Where did you find that zip? I looked through the Ubuntu site and didn't see where to download it for future updates.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] salahmed:
OK if you read the first post you will know. All the download links are in the dualboot.sh just open it as a text file.

Hmm, I'm getting no available channels under install Ubuntu and it won't let me install. I dunno if being on CM11 is a must or not as I'm on Gummy ROM. Might have to switch it up to see if that works. Didn't see that being a requirement in the wiki page.

I installed official CM11 with supersu, and I'm still getting no available channels. I'm going to try and change my build.prop from toro to maguro to see if it changes. Don't know what consequences will come from doing that but can't hurt anything to try.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] salahmed:
So how it went...???
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] t1.8matt:
Not good. Install froze, went to nandroid back to a different build, nandroids aren't showing up. It ended up putting 2 more 0 folders in my sdcard directory and moved a bunch of stuff. I had to spend 2 hours moving stuff back to their correct directories. Won't be trying that again.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] salahmed:
Sorry to hear that. But don't be upset, Ubuntu touch still far from using as a daily driver. I don't know but may be with specs like Snapdragon 800 and Adreno 350 Ubuntu touch will be more buttery. So far GNex can't handle it well...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] t1.8matt:
I'm not worried, I've been thinking of locking and unlocking my boot loader and starting from scratch anyways. I just hope someone else with a toro or toroplus reads this before attempting and finding themselves in a similar situation.

It's all mentioned that Ubuntu will use the recovery partition. But if you uninstal it from the Android app, it should recover your recovery again. Anyway you can flash the recovery via fastboot. And about SD card, it will add /0 but nothing is missed.
