[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] heather1209:
Hello all,

I'm trying to delete a system file using the Android terminal (as my end goal is to put it in a run shell task in Tasker) and it either reboots my phone or just doesn't delete.

Long story short, I'm using the Weak Sauce root method, but I do not have S-Off as I like how easy it is to undo the Weak Sauce root alone. This means, of course, I don't have immediate RW access to system. So here's what I've done:

# mount -o rw,remount -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mmcblk0p46 /system
# busybox rm -f /system/media/audio/ui/camera_click.ogg
# mount -o ro,remount -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mmcblk0p46 /system

When I do the first and last commands alone, the system mounts as RW and RO correctly, confirmed with # mount|grep system. But that middle command is the problem. Sometimes nothing will happen, other times my phone will reboot. I've also tried adding the following before the rm command with no success:

# chmod 777 /system/media/audio/ui/camera_click.ogg

I AM able to delete the file manually through ES File Explorer when mounted RW. But it comes back after I restart my phone, hence why I want this command to be used in Tasker.

What am I doing wrong?

PS: as for the "why" of deleting the shutter sound file, I take screenshots sometimes and the sound drives me nuts. I've tried removing the ogg file from the camera apk, but that didn't work after a reboot. I also tried replacing the ogg file with a silent one, but no success there either as the real one reloads itself when I restart.

Oh, and full disclosure, I also posted this in the M8 forum. I'm putting it here hoping more people see it and can help!

I rooted my Nvidia shield a day or 2 ago and everything was working fine, until i i went to the play store to look for some apps. it wouldn't connect. i tried everything anyone suggested and nothing worked. i tried completely resetting the whole thing. that didn't work. then i found a guide at http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2110225 and at the bottom he explains that if you delete Hosts file under system/etc/ and reboot and Wipe Cache/Dalvik Cache. well i ended up deleting the whole system/etc/ folder. i so dumbly deleted the whole thing and now my nvidia shield will not boot. it gets stuck on a black screen during the boot process after the nvidia shield thing comes up. i tried reflashing the root_shield.img, i tried the recovery options and thats not working. please help me

Thank you.

Hi,

base on Google Keyboard v3.0.19373.1072412a, what I've done :

- add number row

- unlock all emoji (if you're not in 4.4+), Emoji displayed based on your font

instructions :

- Uninstall any existing Google/AOSP keyboard (if it as system app, you should reboot after uninstall)

- must Install apk below,

note :

if you want to change as system app, after install, convert it with titanium backup/luck patch, and reboot

and when your emoji doesn't looks like the screenshot, use fonts below

- extract to /system/fonts and set permission

- edit your /system/fallback_fonts.xml ( see screenshot )

- and reboot

[Galaxy Note 3 Themes and Apps] xperiacle:
In a way, yes, Unicon and Galaxy Icon Themer do the same thing - that is give the ability to change icons but the difference are:

Unicon

- is a paid app

- uses Xposed framework to do the theming

- has icon masking support

Galaxy Icon Themer

- is free

- uses Touchwiz native theme engine to theme icons

- no icon masking support

Galaxy Icon Themer Pro

- is a paid app

- uses Touchwiz native theme engine to theme icons

- with icon masking support

- with Per App icon theming with several options and also is in continued development

I am s-off and originally bought an ATT M7 but I think I am running a WWE version now
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alray:
5.11.1540.9 is the latest dev edition version.

what is the update number you are trying to install?

when you go in settings --> About -->Software Information, what does it says under ROM version?

is your CID really 11111111111 ? CID is only 8 characters, even super cid, should be (8x1): 11111111 not (11x1): 11111111111

the error from the ota installation mean the file was modified so the update can't patch this file. you have to replace the file with the exact file the ota update is expecting. anyway with s-off you could simply run a ruu and then apply ota updates to latest version.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mattileblanc:
Hi,

My super CID is 11111111, I just typed the value because it was a dump of today when I went back to original CID (CWS_001).

My current software number is 4.19.1540.9, but I do have the newest firmware (5.11.1540.9).

When you say, simply run a RUU ,where would I find a RUU that will keep my version stock with Play Store working etc and how would I install that.

I have done several ADB and fastboot things, but I am a bit confused which is what etc..

What is a RUU exactly?

And which version should I choose. Looking at site: http://androidruu.com/?developer=M7

I don't know if the last RUU I installed was a european one or a WWE. Not sure how to find out.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alray:
well you don't really need supercid to run this version, better to use the correct one for .1540 version (BS_US001)

fastboot oem writecid BS_US001
fastboot reboot-bootloader

then run this file (ruu.exe): http://www.htc1guru.com/dld/ruu_m7_..._10-38r-1157-04l_release_353887_signed_3-exe/

then you'll be able to apply the ota update to 5.11.1540.9

keep bootloader unlocked and s-off

btw the ruu will wipe everything on your phone, so if you have files to backup, do it before running the ruu.

.1540 is the dev edition version.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mattileblanc:
Okay, I will give it a try. I reckon I will receive a new OTA message after doing the upgrade, or should I save the downloaded file? Not that I can install it with TWRP I guess?
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alray:
Yes you'll get a notification to update to latest version after running the ruu but if you don't want to re-download the ota, make a backup of the ota.zip file on your computer, you'll be able to flash it manually after running the ruu. And no you can't install ota with twrp, only with stock recovery. However the ruu will make everything back to stock (including the recovery).

is this exe actually a zip or can I somehow use the exe extension?
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alray:
.exe file extension is a windows executable, not compatible with macOS

---------- Post added at 01:04 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:02 AM ----------

latest 1540 ruu.zip is a 3.22.1540.1 version, if you use that one, you'll need to do many ota updates.

there is also a 5.11.1540.9 twrp nandroid backup that I have posted in the general section
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mattileblanc:
I read somewhere:

Yes you can just use the Decrypted.zip Rename it to something simple like RUU.zip put it in your fastboot folder, Open a cmd prompt from that same folder. Relock the bootloader if you are s-on. Put the phone in fastboot usb mode and use these commands

Or

I do have windows virtual image on virtual box, I could probably extract it there. Hopefully there is a zip in there.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alray:
5.11.1540.9 nandroid backup made with twrp you could restore your phone with:

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=52704273&postcount=936

or

you can extract the rom.zip by launching the ruu.exe from windows then use the windows key + r and execute %temp%. when the window open, do a search for "rom.zip" then copy the file to your mac

fastboot oem rebootRUU
fastboot flash zip rom.zip
fastboot flash zip rom.zip
fastboot reboot

There is a tutorial here, use google translate (tutorial in french but you can easily understand with pictures)

http://www.phonandroid.com/forum/extraire-une-rom-zip-d-une-ruu-exe-t10104.html

btw, maybe you could use the ruu.exe directly from your virtual windows machine...

Does this mean it is a corrupt rom, or should I install it from my sdcard wth TWRP?

[update] I am going to try to restore the nandroid backup now.

I am not getting any success with the rom.zip. Maybe it is corrupt.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alray:
probably simpler to restore the nandroid indeed.

don't forget to do a factory reset right after you have restored the nandroid backup or you'll have issue with blinkfeed.

[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nkk71:
it's a twrp nandroid backup, you cannot "install" that

extract the zip on your PC and it should give you a

folder

place that

folder

in /sdcard/TWRP/BACKUPS/HT34RW915589/ and then select restore in twrp recovery
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mattileblanc:
Okay, sorry about that. Most things I install with TWRP are zip files, so that was obvious for me.

Putting the folder in the TWRP/backups/ folder didnt; work. I made a new small backup myself and then overwritten the files with the ones from the zip. Recovery worked and I am now running Sense 6.

Thanks guys, both of you!
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alray:
exactly, you have to make a "fake" backup first to generate the backup path from twrp and then place the nandroid backup you want to restore in this path, overwriting the "fake" backup, like you did.

now that your issue is solved, could you please edit your first post and add [solved] to your thread title? thanks. (click "edit/delete" then "go advanced")

Yes, I have 5.11.1540.9.

I Installed your backup, the one mentioned somewhere in this thread.

There are just so many versions and links when I search for stock recovery that I am not sure which version would allow me to install the OTA.

Previously I was able to revert, install OTA and then back to TWRP. But last time the stock recovery would show my the exclamation mark when installing OTA.

pressing power and vol down did get me in the blue text recovery screen but it didnt install the 4.4.2 update. Hence i installed your backup.

would be nice I can do the stock recovery trick again.

what do you think?
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mattileblanc:
Okay, I tried a stock recovery. Unfortunately when I installed the OTA it did a factory reset and not install the update to 4.4.3. Then when I ran the update again I got an exclamation mark after a minute of installing it.

How would you install 4.4.3?

[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
You could try factory resetting, but this will wipe all your apps and data, including your internal sd card. Not being rooted makes backing up anything other than the sd pretty much impossible though so you'd have to reinstall and setup everything from scratch.

Its possible it could be an issue with the app itself, but ive not heard anything else about it so I cant say how likely this is.

Only ither option I can think of is to make sure auto update apps is off in the play store, then uninstall the maps update and try running the older version.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] rdmay20:
