[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shubhamagg24:
Dear Members,

I am working on Mobile forensics. I need to access locked android phone system files without USB Debugging enable.

For accessing System files, I need to root android but it is locked with pattern lock or passcode (USB Debugging Disabled).

If i'll flash the mobile, it will change the filesystem which is not forensically sound.

Is there anyone who helps me in this regard.

Also helps if i'm able to clone the mobile (bit to bit copy) for further forensics.

Hope to get help from this forum.

I find in many threads. But I don't found the guide that tell how to test boot.img If it won't working.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shimp208:
Are you talking about log information from boot.img or how to test boot.img without flashing it permanently? For logs related to boot.img you can use kmsg logging feature, if you want to test the boot.img the "fastboot boot boot.img" will allow you to do that.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lenkyun:
I'm about to test boot.img when running.

But my boot.img seems not working.

Then I need log to find why.

I know kmsg in proc.

But I can't tell the different between log of boot and recovery.

// I can access adb only that way. Or maybe the fastboot way

for some reason i cant post anything on developing forums untill i got 10 posts so....

when i try to check for updates it says "check your internet connection", yet i am on wifi and everything else is working.

someone knows whats the problem?
[G2 General] Gnarfsan:
Well, you are supposed to post stuff like this in the Q&A forum, that's why you have to post 10 times. To learn the structure.

You could try to clear data for play services and the play store app and see if that works. If not, I suggest that you try to flash some other gapps package.

Maybe one of these:

[G2 General] Dkrizzle:
Just go through the browser. What I did and no problem.
[G2 General] Harellevy:
So just download the new nightly and reflash?

Do I need to wipe cache or something?

What if I want to go from nightly to stable or M, then I need to wipe?

Thanks for the help
[G2 General] NIke619:
I've always wiped when updating, after a backup of course!
[G2 General] Harellevy:
But then you need to download all the apps all over again no?
[G2 General] Gnarfsan:
No, just flash the update zip. (That's called a dirty flash in case you didn't know)

If you use custom kernels, flashed mods or custom system apps, they might have to be reinstalled. You also need to reinstall Xposed Framework from the app if you use that.

But remember to back up your phone in recovery before you update!
[G2 General] Harellevy:
Okay thanks. 3 last questions (I hope).

I got cm-11-

20140410

-NIGHTLY

And yesterday released cm-11-

20140411

-NIGHTLY

Is this an update? Or a completely new nightly? sorry for all the ignorance, I'm totally new to this and android

2. Should I use old M builds or new nightlys? Which one Is more stable

3. If I want to flash M build and I'm currently using nightly, there is a different way or something special I need to do?
[G2 General] marleyinoc:
If you're going from an m build to a nightly, or any other variation (stable to m, etc) then wipe data and cache. Every nightly can be flashed on top of itself. There are more specific things to be said but I'll leave it at that so you don't get yourself bootlooped.

Make sure you make a nandroid before you do anything (I.e. a backup in custom recovery) and it would be a good idea to put that on your pc. Also a good idea to have the files and setup ready to flash your phone back to factory with kdz or tot--that way if you do something boneheaded you won't be in as much of a panic. It definitely wouldn't hurt to have some experience with adb ahead of time--just in case.

If none of that makes sense I'd wait a bit before flashing (though you could go for it and probably make out fine).

VS980 - CM11 nightly
[G2 General] Harellevy:
- nandroid BackUP - Check. i learned how importent and how lucky to do a nandroid backup when i flashed yesterday the cm. bricked my phone 2 times, thanks to nandroid backup didnt need to flash stock.

- stock KDZ - Check. including flashing tool and all that.

what do you prefer, nightly or M? the nightly can go rough just like that in the middle of everything?

I flashed a new ROM after an annoying bug from the previous ROM,then I installed some applications (including busybox),restarted it without problems,but after the next restart it was bootlooping (I don't know why,I didn't installed any other application after the first restart).I did a factory reset,I wiped the data,cache,dalvik cache,but it was still bootlooping.I wiped it again and I tried to flash another ROM (and yes,they were all compatible with my phone,and I respected the instructions,I flashed a lot of ROMs before),but,again,it was bootlooping.I wiped it one more time,and I performed a nandroid restore (from another ROM),but it was still bootlooping.WTF?I have never experienced a thing like this.Should I try to flash a ROM (stock,GioPro) with Odin?What if it would still bootloop?What should I do?

BTW:I don't know if this is important,but before I preformed the nandroid restore,I accidentally made a backup (it was made very fast),and I noticed that the date was messed up(showing year 1970).It says that it has only 16mb and the only folder existing in /system is lost+found.However,I can see my boot animation

I flashed GioPro 1.6 (I know it's old),it worked,but I couldn't see the settings app,so I copied one from CM 7.2 with adb,and guess what? It bootlooped.Even after I wiped data and cache (I can't wipe dalvik because of CWM 5.0.2.7) and now I can't even see the boot animation,it just restarts after "Galaxy Gio".Tomorrow I will try to flash the stock one(enough with flashes for today).Can you send me the link for the stock rom(I can't find it)?
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] waqaswasil:
Dont Worry, It Will Be Fixed :cowboy:

Just Do This:

1. Download A Good Custom Rom (Like Maclaw's CM9 As I Am Using This Right Now)

2. Download CWM 6.0.3.2 By MMB Team

3. Flash CWM Like You Would Flash A ROM

4. Reboot Recovery, Now You Will See The New Recovery With Greenish Background

5. Go To "Mounts And Storages" And Format System

6. Go To "Install ZIP From SD Card" And Flash The Rom

7. Now "Wipe Data/Factory Reset"

8. Reboot System Now

Your Phone Will Be Fixed If You Follow All The Instructions.

Link For CWM 6.0.3.2 By MMB Team:

https://moltenmotherboard.googlecode.com/files/cwm-6.0.3.2-ext4only.zip

---------- Post added at 07:43 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:29 AM ----------

Or Do This:

1. Go To "Mount And Storages" And Try To Mount System/Data/Cache

0. If You cant mount even one of them download and flash this (https://moltenmotherboard.googlecode.com/files/EXT4-formatter.zip) with your existing recovery and then flash any rom (dont flash any old rom as they use RFS File System All of the newer ROMS Use ext4 FileSystem) :laugh: :good: :highfive:

---------- Post added at 07:48 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:43 AM ----------

or if you want to flash stock rom with odin, download stock roms from here for your region:

(You need to register an account to download files from sammobile) :laugh::laugh:

Flash your default firmware or download a compatible rom

[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] aveq8:
It worked!I hope it doesn't bootloop again after installing some applications -_-
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] aveq8:
Seems like I asked for too much.Who needs applications,anyway?I don't mind reflashing the ROM after installing one...
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] waqaswasil:
Just Dont Try To Change System Apps With Apps That Are Not Compatible and use a good custom rom. Some Best Custom ROMS are:

CM7 By MMB Team (and all others based on it)

CM9 By Maclaw Studio

CM10.1 By Mardon

:silly:

I didn't.I installed the same apps that I had before it was bricked.I will try again without installing any app.

EDIT:I followed the same instructions more than once (tried to wipe everything),tried 3-4 different ROMs but it's still bootlooping.Also,I noticed the following error in CWM "can't format unknown volume /emmc".I think I should buy a new phone,lol...

[Verizon HTC One (M8)] JWhetstone02:
ok, I see that there were different modules in faux's kernel than what was in /system/lib/modules

I added a line to delete all modules before installing the new.

this is the code:

ui_print("Mounting System");
ui_print("");

run_program("/sbin/busybox", "mount", "/system");

ui_print("Removing existing modules");
ui_print("");
delete_recursive("/system/lib/modules");

ui_print("Installing modules");
ui_print("");

package_extract_dir("system", "/system");
set_perm_recursive(0, 0, 0755, 0644, "/system/lib/modules");

ui_print("Unmounting system");
ui_print("");

unmount("/system");

ui_print("Installing kernel");

package_extract_file("boot.img", "/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/boot");

ui_print("Installation complete");
ui_print("");

I dont see whats causing some of yall to lose apps :/ its basically removing the /modules folder, installing the new /modules folder (pulled from stock system dump) assigning them permissions, then installing the kernel (the kernel from the unsecure kernel that is posted in the android dev section by [MENTION=3472611]dottat[/MENTION] - thanks for the kernel)

so the only change to this is wiping out all the modules and installing the stock /sysem/lib/modules

I'm trying to figure out how I can effetively use GravityBox's smart radio function. Which network mode would give me '2g' data? Right now the only option what works is "CDMA/EvDo Auto" with this selected I get 3G and it won't even switch over to LTE when I power on the screen.

Any other option cuts out my signal or only gives me voice. How do I get that '1x' data (aka 2g)? I would still like some data when the screen is off, I just don't need LTE or 3G.

This is not recovery screen, this is hboot (bootloader) screen. From Hboot you can go to recovery.

I didn't understand very well, when you are in hboot screen and whant to press volume (up or down) or power button you don't see any changes on a screen?

And what do you have in hboot screen writen after date and time (colored letters).
