[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] exekias:
It seems that over the course of my flashing history my phone has retained the files to both TWRP and CWM. So now I'm encountering issues.

TWRP never wants to mount my internal storage and I need TWRP for certain apps and CWM works fine but sometimes that's all I can access even if I install TWRP and sometimes installing a recovery from ODIN or Goo.im causes bootloops.

Ive had a look and it seems like in my /0 directory the files exist for both and now i've done a fresh install of a 4.1 stock rom and the files still exist how can I remove them both and start from scratch?

[HTC Butterfly S] ebautista:
Another S-Off script that was sent to me by coremark. Successfully s-off my device and supercid.

http://firewater-soff.com/

Thanks to [MENTION=4310057]coremark[/MENTION].
[HTC Butterfly S] edorner:
After gaining S-off on a fully stock device using Firewater + temproot, what is the easiest method for permanent rooting?

Since due to S-off full access is granted to all partitions, is it possible to install the su binary and superuser / superSu apk to the /system partition without flashing a custom recovery? For example by using "adb push" or a root file manager?

Where can I get a su binary? Should I extract it from superSu / superuser recovery ZIP package?

Could anyone walk me through the steps?
[HTC Butterfly S] koniiiik:
I'm afraid you'll need a custom recovery for this. The /system write protection is implemented in kernel (the kernel doesn't sync changes to the actual block device and keeps them in RAM) and S-OFF is completely orthogonal to this. To work around it, you'd need a custom kernel (which is not feasible at the moment since HTC haven't released the full source tree yet, unfortunately) or the wp-mod hack (which I would be afraid of using, to be honest).

Also, why avoid custom recovery when you're already S-OFF and you can flash the stock recovey anytime?
[HTC Butterfly S] edorner:
You are right, that makes sense.

But then how is this possible (if it is at all)? -> http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2339056

(Pls check out the 2nd post from member "Indirect".)

AFAIK the One has the exact same kind of /system write protection as the 901s. Doesn't it?

Just out of curiosity, why would you be afraid to use wp-mod? Unknown / unpublished source? Bad feedback from users?
[HTC Butterfly S] koniiiik:
To be honest, no idea. All I do know is that on my phone the write protection works the way it does and I don't really see a feasible way around it. Also, I haven't tried these exact steps. It's possible that adb remount does some extra work or something. Moreover, I'm not sure about the adb shell chmod ... command – that would require root, wouldn't it? But since I haven't tried it, I can only guess.

If you don't mind trying it, I'd be interested in the results.

The way I understand wp_mod works is that it monkey-patches the running kernel's filesystem driver to skip the check for the /system partition. In other words, it rewrites the code of the running kernel in-memory. This by itself is reason enough to be extremely careful around such code as it has potential for a major disaster. Missing the right memory location by any nonzero number of bytes can result in the kernel doing practically anything (most likely a crash).

Now, to make matters worse, these seem to be only a few binary versions of the kernel module and people seem to just take a binary compiled for one kernel, modify the version information within the file to make it match other kernels and load it on a completely different kernel. This, to me, is borderline insane, considering that the kernel binaries depend on the version of the kernel, used compiler and even compiler flags used when building.

Again, though, I haven't actually looked at the module's source code; can't say I'm suffering from a surplus of free time and I'm also not *that* interested in it. Most likely it's written in a robust enough way to have a high chance of success. (This seems to be backed up by anecdotal evidence – the thing appears to work for people, which is a small wonder for me.) All of the above is actually just my interpretation of stuff I read in some threads here on XDA-developers and I haven't even tried to confirm it myself.

Still, for me, using the recovery for any such changes is a sufficient and acceptable workaround, since I don't need to modify /system that often.
[HTC Butterfly S] edorner:
Wow! Thanks for the exhaustive expanation about WP-mod!

Well I am also a bit skeptical about this solution. So I am not sure I will be brave enough to try it :D

But if I do decide to give it a try, I will post the results here, I promise.
[HTC Butterfly S] koniiiik:
As far as [MENTION=3854041]Indirect[/MENTION]'s post goes, that should be risk-free – either it does work, or it doesn't do anything. I don't see how it could harm your phone. Worst case, you end up with a /system/xbin/su binary that doesn't work due to wrong privileges (or owner information), in which case you should be able to just remove it and start over.
[HTC Butterfly S] edorner:
Ah, I see. In that case I will definitely try it!

Truth is I am still an Android noob, I used ADB maybe on two occasions so far, and did not have the time yet to properly check out the documentation for these particular commands.

One more question:

If I understand correctly, Firewater (when used together with the temproot) will also unlock your bootloader. Do you think the apps in /data/preloadwill be deleted in this case too? (I.e. does it do a factory wipe like the unlock process via HTCDev?)

If so, how do I restore the apps? Do I simply copy the APK's back to /data/preload with a root file manager, and that's it?

IIRC Helium backup is not really perfect for the purpose, because it is unable to restore those apps to /data/preload, and puts them to the standard app path. Is this what you remember, too?
[HTC Butterfly S] koniiiik:
No idea, I haven't used firewater, but my guess would be that it won't wipe anything…

As for backing up /data/preload, you can for example use temproot to get access to the directory, copy it somewhere on your sdcard and adb pull it. In case it gets wiped, you can just push it back again and voilà. It's going to require some shell-fu, however.

Alternately, you can just download my ZIP of the latest stock ROM and extract it, it contains the latest /data/preload.

And yes, just copying the APK files into /data/preload should suffice *– Dalvik and its package manager is intelligent enough to detect something has changed in there and perform any installation steps necessary. If it doesn't work right away, a reboot should fix things.
[HTC Butterfly S] ebautista:
Edorner. It won't wipe. I tried it already.
[HTC Butterfly S] edorner:
So, as promised, I tried the "adb remount" command on my device and it did not work.

adb remount
remount failed: Operation not permitted

However "mount -o remount,rw -t ext4 /dev/block/mmcblk0p38 /system" in root shell (acquired by temproot) worked like a charm :D And the modifications to /system performed afterwards turned out to be permanent. So in the end I was able to gain root without using a custom recovery.

Based on my experiences, I created a guide which summarizes all the steps necessary to S-OFF and root a completely stock device without using HTCDev unlock and custom recoveries.

I investigated a bit as to why "adb remount" would not work, and found two interesting topics on XDA about the issue:

[2013.05.24][ROOT] adbd Insecure v1.30

Can't get ADB Root Access in certain ROMs?

In short, "adb remount" is only available if the ADB daemon is run in "insecure" mode in a particular ROM. And unfortunately our stock ROMs seem to use secure ADB.
[HTC Butterfly S] koniiiik:
Fantastic guide, I just read it and wow.

Also, good to know that particular procedure disables the write protection. I'll have to investigate this sometime, because just now I tried and found out that on my device, the changes to /system are rolled back as soon as I remount /system read-only again. Maybe if I left it read-write all the time, they would persist as well...? I'll have a closer look at this later.
[HTC Butterfly S] edorner:
Thanks :)

Hm... Strange...

Instead of manually remounting /system as "ro", I simply rebooted the device. (What can I say, I am hopelessly lazy :D ) After the reboot I checked the permissions of /system by issuing the "mount" command without any parameters. It showed that it was remounted using the original settings:

/dev/block/mmcblk0p38 /system ext4 ro,noatime,data=ordered 0 0

So in theory, rebooting instead of manually remounting as "ro" should not make any difference. But who knows :)

After the reboot, I checked the changes I made to /system previously, and fortunately they did not disappear. (su was still there, I could successfully copy it, and execute it.)

Since then, I've performed a couple more reboots and at least one full shutdown-startup cycle as well. And I still have not lost any changes.

Please let me know if you find something out! I am very interested.

[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] juajar:
Hi Guys, got a solution for you... Sort of...

What I found you can do is remap the redial action on your headset/car to activate the voice dialer app. Just download an app called "Smart Bluetooth Headset" by Yassen Dobrev https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.yado.btbut

Then set it to remap the Redial Button to open your favorite voice dialer.

This might not be what we where looking for but it will do the trick handsfree.

[Nexus 7 (2013) General] DeepPurple15X:
If you turn on "ADB over Network" on your Nexus 4 and try to connect on your Nexus 7 you will run into a small problem. The device will get connected but you will be unable to use ADB because of the RSA Authorization failing. This guide will help fix that that problem.

I am no hacker/developer. This is just to share my experience. I am not responsible if you mess your device up.

Perquisites (what I used):

Nexus 7 (rooted) Android 4.3.1

Nexus 4 (rooted) OmniRom Android 4.4.2

Windows PC w/ AndroidSDK (you only need adb.exe)

Android Terminal Emulator installed on both devices. Available on Playstore.

Process:

Step 1.

Open Android Terminal Emulator on the Nexus 7.

su
adb kill-server
HOME=/sdcard adb start-server

This will create two files in the “/sdcard/.android/” directory on the Nexus 7. We need to transfer the “adbkey.pub” to the Nexus 4.

Step 2.

Connect the Nexus 7 to the computer and run the “adb.exe”. The following code will download the key to the “adb.exe” directory.

adb pull /sdcard/.android/adbkey.pub

Then disconnect the Nexus 7 and connect the Nexus 4. Then we send the file using “adb” using the push command. I am putting the file in the “/sdcard”

adb push adbkey.pub /sdcard

Step 3:

Now you can either use Android Terminal Emulator on your Nexus 4(which is what I did) or “adb shell” on your computer. Simply append the key to the “adb_key”

su
cat /sdcard/adbkey.pub >> /data/misc/adb/adb_key

Step 4.

To start ADB over Network on Nexus 4

su
setprop service.adb.tcp.port 5555
stop adbd
start adbd

On the Nexus 7 connect to phone ip address. If you don’t know what that is head over to Settings>Wi-fi >Advanced Wi-fi >Scroll down to IP Adress . Lets assume its 192.168.1.100

adb connect 192.168.1.100
adb devices

If you get a ‘Allow USB Debugging ?’ alert on your phone click ‘OK’. Now you can use adb commands . If you can help me improve this guide let me know in comments. This is my first guide. I am no expert in android but I will try to answer your questions.

Remember to switch off "ADB over Network" on Nexus 4

su
setprop service.adb.tcp.port -1
stop adb
start adb

To check "ADB over Network"

getprop service.adb.tcp.port

[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fabianfred:
My Note 3 is the SM 900N model sold in Thailand.

I got it mainly for the good camera...after my Note 1, 2 & 10.1.

A week ago I was still on Android 4.2 and my camera hung up...all of my camera apks had the same problem and rebooting didn't help.

I therefore saved a backup using Kies and then did a factory reset. The when i connected to Kies it told me there was a firmware update so i did that and it gave me 4.4.2 KitKat. I then renewed from my previous backup.

The camera worked OK...but now a few days later it has started playing up again. I'm wondering if there is an intermitant hardware fault.

The video works and Auto camera (on the default camera) but I have recently been making many 360 Photospheres which is now called Surround shot. Today this wouldn't work.

I've heard that 4.4.2 has problems and don't know if 4.4.4 would help.

Maybe I should take it to the Samsung service centre for a check...

Has anyone got Intellisync to sync with Lotus notes with WM5.

I have outlook at home and can sync no problem. However, I have Lotus notes at work and the only software that I have been given is Intellisync. I cannot get it to recognise or sync with my Mini S. All I want to do is sync my calendar. Any clues anyone - this has been driving me crazy !

Thanks

:o
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] wgary:
I use Intellisync with Groupwise (MDA/WinXP), and it is pretty effective.

If you install the latest version, there should be a flower-like icon in your system tray. From there go to Preferences, then Windows Mobile Device.

Click on Calendar, then hit the Choose Button. Select Lotus Notes from the list. Make sure the box is checked and you should be good to go. (If you hit options, you can set password and username to avoid having to log in to your Lotus Notes account each time.) Also, from Advanced Settings under Configure button, you can choose to filter or change field mappings. You can also choose order of precedence for conflicts and/or set for manual resolution of conflicts.

When set up is complete, you can then choose "Sync Mobile Device Now" from the system tray. Or you can set up Push Sync under the preferences menu so that it syncs whenever you set a connection, make a change, etc.

Hope this helps...
