[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] l_electron:
I'm trying to get a script to launch. I've done quite a bit of research; nothing I've found has proved very useful. I'm trying to do this on a Galaxy S3 with Cyanogenmod 10.2 Stable. Since it looks like this is a neglected issue on XDA, I'll also reference the other posts which I've read.

Running it as root at startup with SManager works, but I would really prefer to bypass a 3rd-party app.

My script doesn't seem to be loading at boot; it should create a PID file in my /sdcard folder, but it doesn't. Without knowing the PID, I have no way of verifying whether or not it's even running.

#!/system/bin/sh
(while [it's a never-ending loop]...do [stuff]; busybox sleep 900s...done) & echo $! > /sdcard/myscript.pid &

I've tried a couple different ways of calling this script from init.rc:

on boot
sh /system/bin/myscript.sh

and

service myscript(*I also tried "myscript_boot") /system/bin/myscript.sh
user root (*also tried it without the user command)
oneshot (*and without oneshot)

I also find it strange that my changes to init.rc are persistent after reboot since many, many articles suggest that it should be reset after reboot (I've noticed that many of these articles date back to ~2010).

Since I can't find any conclusive documentation on this issue. I hope someone here can shed some insight.

One more thing. My script runs fine if I issue the command in the Terminal emulator, adb shell, and, as mentioned earlier, if launched with SManager. It's only init.rc that's giving me issues.

I have T-Mobile MDA, and i loaded the latest rom update. The problem is that i live in South Africa and am currently using MTN(carrier), but the MDA has t-mobile mms settings, and does not let me modify them or delete or even add new settings, is there anyway i can unlock that and delete it.

[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MystaMagoo:
I want to hide album covers from the picture viewer so I use a .nomedia file in the 'root' folder where all my music is in per groups folders.

It works which is good :)

But it is also hiding the music from the music player (winamp).

Trying various things to 'get around' it and of course googling but does anyone know a 'solution'?

using standard 4.3 picture viewer.

Thanks
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MystaMagoo:
Just make a top level folder and call it Media,place all music in there.

This was a known quirk at least 4yrs ago.

What Android should have done and could maybe do in the future is have different kinds of .nomedia files.

Example.....

.nopictures

.nomusic

Open the Music app once so it will load those files. After that you can delete those files but the album art will still stay with the music.

Question

what it is firefox_modem and kitkat_modem?

This firmware are EU or US version?
[Firefox OS General] vampirefo:
The firmware is US, not that it matters EU and US users can user each others firmware, not enough differences to matter.

firefox_modem and kitkat_modem are modems, that control wifi and sim card, if you flash a rom and your wifi or sim card isn't working then flash the correct modem. if using firefox flash firefox modem, if using kitkat flash kitkat modem.

You only need to flash modem if wifi isn't working if wifi is working no need to flash modem.

Just some feedback.

used the .50 recovery to install the kitkat rom and everything works except it says "no service" on lock screen and other areas

that should show the carrier logo, also baseband in about phone shows as unknown.

the gallery app also dies everytime it runs, it opens but dies when you try to view a picture or when another app like contacts tries to use it. Open C is using a US ATT sim card.

Hi vampirefo,

thanks for the Kitkat rom incl. the gapps.

Right now everything in kitkat works as it should.:good:

EDIT: I tried to wrote a little "step-by-step" manuel, maybe it helps (please report any errors):

FIRST ABD SESSION (LINUX/WINDOWS/MAC)

(only for drawing up an Nandroid backup from the original firmware - you only need this once to do)

00.) Power off your device

01.) Remove the SIM-card!!!

02.) Insert a FAT32 formatted microSD-card in the phone

03.) Connect the phone to your PC

04.) Open a terminal and type

05.)

adb reboot bootloader

(maybe sometimes the phone will not be found, so try another USB-port or reboot your PC or device)

06.)

fastboot devices

07.)

fastboot boot /YOUR_PATH/cw_recovery_50.img

(DON'T flash this script!!!)

--> Then CWM is only temporarily active / the stock boatloader will not be overwritten.

08.) Make a Nandroid backup to external SD-card

--------------------------------------------------------

WINDOWS SESSION

(for getting Root access and opening bootloader - normally you only need this once to do)

00.) Power off your device

01.) Still make sure that you removed the SIM-card!!!

02.) Download and install the ZTE Open C USB-Driver from comebuy

03.) Download and install the ZTE_OPENC_EU firmware and the OPen_C_Upgrade_Tool

04.) Unzip the ZTE_OPENC_EU firmware

05.) Run the upgrade tool and install the firmware (check also "erase CEFS"!)

--------------------------------------------------------

SECOND ADB SESSION (LINUX/WINDOWS/MAC)

FOR RUNNING CWM .50 SCRIPT (to install ZIPs, backup/restore, wipe etc.)

00.) Power off your device

01.) Still make sure that you removed the SIM-card!!!

02.) Insert a FAT32 formatted microSD-card with the ZIPs you like to install (e.g. kitkat_signed.zip, kitkat_modem.zip and SuperSU.zip)

03.) Connect the phone to your PC

04.) Open a terminal and type

05.)

adb reboot bootloader

(maybe sometimes the phone will not be found, so try another USB-port or reboot your PC or device)

06.)

fastboot devices

07.)

fastboot boot /YOUR_PATH/cw_recovery_50.img

(DON'T flash this script!!!)

--> Then CWM is only temporarily active / the stock boatloader will not be overwritten

08.) Now CWM runs and you can install your ZIPs

09.) Go to "advanced" -> "power off". Prompt "yes" when you will be asked for fix root rights

Don't forget to insert your SIM-Card after that!!! :laugh:

Vampirefo, how to dual-boot Android KitKat with FirefoxOS on the Open C?
[Firefox OS General] KUPOinyourWINDOW:
Vampirefo could you please release a build of Firefox OS 2.1 for the Open C? I haven't been able to find one anywhere and compiling my own on linux is too difficult for me (I've tried).
[Firefox OS General] vampirefo:
I pulled git today, compiled latest ff, will upload this weekend, above 1.4 isn't stand alone os they are upgrades.

They are supposed to be installed over an existing ff version, new install requires pushing data via adb.
[Firefox OS General] vampirefo:
If you use google, type vampirefo dual boot, you will find guides I have posted on dual booting, you can use those guides to dual boot Firefox and android.

Quick steps

Partition sdcard

Backup either Firefox or android with tar.

Install which ever backup on sdcard.

Edit boot.img change mount points to sdcard.

Place both ff and android boot.img on sdcard

Use script or cwm to flash boot.img for desired os.

CyanogenMod Possible?

Hello,

I've been trying to create a cyanogenmod port for the Open C, mainly as a way to learn more about android(bootloader, recovery, fastboot, etc) and I thought since this device is able to run kit kat already it would be relatively easy to just follow some guides/information/tutorials and compile a cm rom for this phone and wow was I wrong.

Seems it has proven too difficult for me, I lack knowledge of both android and customizations.

I was using this guide wiki cyanogenmod org w Doc:_porting_intro

I got to the part of running mkvendor.sh using boot.img inside kitkat_signed.zip, but got confused about which vendor/device to use wether zte/open_c or zte/zte-p821e10, also not sure about putting the blobs in the right place and finally how to compile it if everything is fine as the guide only mentions creating the recovery, which got me confused since I'm using the Android OS boot.img not the "Recovery boot app to flash roms" img.

Guess I'm way over my head.

Good luck, I have built cyanogenmod for two tablets in the past, they were a pain, I have zero interest in doing that again.

to /system/build.prop, saving and rebooting has no effect... anyone got this working?

Upload boot.img

Can you upload the modified boot.img, please?
[Firefox OS General] vampirefo:
They are in my google drive link in first post, extract to sdcard, create a fold called dual_boot place the zips there, install kitkat on sdcard, FF on phone, then in recovery just flash which every boot.img you want to boot into.

dual_boot.zip
[Firefox OS General] laces93:
Thank you very much for publishing your work, vampirefo!

I have a few questions. Do I get it right that it is not possible to actually flash the recovery? One can only boot it and thus use it temporary?

Assuming something goes wrong while using any custom rom or whatever, so that the phone won't boot up anymore, how could I boot into recovery then? As far as I know, one can only boot into bootloader mode using ADB. Is that right? Other phones can be restored by flashing full images in bootloader mode, but in those cases the bootloader mode is easy to access by some key combinations while booting the phone up. That is why I'm a bit confused using the ZTE and flashing KitKat and so on.
[Firefox OS General] vampirefo:
.50 recovery can be flashed to phone, one can get into recovery or bootloader via volume up or down plus power.

Vamp, when I try to flash to your kitkat_signed ROM I get Signature verification failed, do you know why this can be?
[Firefox OS General] vampirefo:
Cause you aren't using .50 recovery, you are using stock recovery, you need to use .50 recovery to flash rom.
[Firefox OS General] AK0:
Even with .50 recovery signature will still fail 90% of the time. That is why this phone is horrible to use android on. Supposedly it's "unlocked" bootloader but it really isn't.

Help with adb

Hi,

Hope you can help me. I am having trouble getting ADB to work (following Koetermanns step guide). I have adb installed but there are no devices listed (adb devices). I cannot find the driver for ZTE Open C. As far as I can tell there isn't one. I have the latest firmware and the upgrade tool but not the drivers, I have searched everywhere for them but they are not on the ZTE site. Even tried the Open (not open c) one but there are none for the open C listed. Does anyone have a link for them? Are they included in the tool install? Could there be another issue? Can I use ADB when in the OS ? Sorry for all the questions. Been trying all night. The other ZTE tool connects when USB enabled but wont flash the firmware (instantly says fails) . Any help appreciated. I desperately want root so I can install Gapps. Am using windows 8 but can (would prefer actually) to use linux if possible but assuming there are no drivers.

Thanks in advance!
