So after looking at the Draco bumper ive been itching to get one. But I thought wouldn't it look much more sleek with a carbon fiber back. Black on silver on carbon fiber. I looked around and I found one that came with water tight seal on ebay for a few bucks. I dont know if it is truly will seal the same as oem but i figure it will probally help withstand a accidental 5 second drop in a sink or toilet vs a battery cover that has no seal at all.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sirpy:
I'm trying to understand how to be able to mod a recently bought chinese phone "infocus m512", it's based on qualcomm snapdragon msm8926 and has android 4.4.2 installed which comes with "su" already installed, so basically the phone is already rooted.

I've found out the following:

/system is read only and cannot be remounted with r/w using the "su" available.

powering with both volume buttons pressed boots into some mode where the system is r/w but any changes made are not kept. I think it is FTM mode, the device is then recognized by ADB but not by FASTBOOT.

powering with vol down button pressed boots into download mode and the device is not recognized by ADB or FASTBOOT.

Any help understanding how to:

1. modify the /system partition

2. what can be done in FTM mode, and why changes to system do not stick

3. how to possibly use download mode to flash modified imgs?

4. find out if any write protection is enabled on the device

Thanks

moding infocus m512 progress report

I was able to get fastboot to recognize the device using the -i option.

I was able to extract the recovery img and unpack it, also compiled a modified mkbootimg.

I did re-flash the splash img using fastboot so it seems there's no some kind of protection against flashing.

I will try to flash a modified boot and recovery that will mount the /system as rw and see if it works.

I still think maybe there's some kind of selinux settings involved preventing mounting system as rw, i will have to dig deeper for that.

rooting infocus m512

I bought it on lightinthebox.com anyways it shouldn't be much a problem to root it, since it's possible to flash a boot img to the device using fastboot.

I finally was able to trace the issue of not being able to mount /system as read/write to an error in the ext4 file system

it seems like the stock system.img has errors in its file system, so when the device initially mounts the /system partition it immediately remounts it as read-only because of the errors.

I was unable to flash a repaired system.img using fastboot (it dies in the middle, maybe because its such a large file), but I was able to modify the boot.img fstab.qcom to add the option errors=continue to the mount options of the /system partition. and now it is possible to mount /system as read write and you can do whatever you want as root.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sirpy:
rooting infocus m512

are you sure your device isn't already rooted? try to install supersu.

if you are sure it is not rooted you can root it the following way:

1. install adb

2.download su binary from somewhere

3. boot into Field Test Mode by (with phone turned off and connected to usb) holding both volume keys and power key together, when phone turns on release the power button and wait until the blue led turns off, then release volume keys. after a sec or two you should see some text on the screen.

4. connect to device via abd, run "adb shell"

5. mount the system as read/write by

(i'm not sure about /dev/block/mmcblk01/platform/by-name/system, it is something similar but you can find out yourself by search the subdirectories)

mkdir systmp
mount -t ext4 -o rw /dev/block/mmcblk01/platform/by-name/system /systemp
chmod 4755 /systmp/xbin/su

6. exit shell and run "adb push <path to su binary> /systmp/xbin

7. run "adb reboot"

8. install supersu or some other su manager.

let me know how it went.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Beni.Falk:
Similar problem here

My phone is (seemingly) rooted, however I cannot modify platoform.xml (tried root explorer, total commander and what not). Also cannot remount the system partition using adb remount.

Can you provide details on how exactly did you modify fastab.qcom (and by the way, is it the file residing in the file system root directory)?

I tried modifying it and it seemed to succeed, however on reboot I had the original fstab.qcom.

Also, it seems that the su binary that I am using is not up to date. Each time I enter SuperSU it says that su binary needs to be updated, however the update fails (I tried both the normal way and the TWRP/CWM way). You wrote in a later post that the phone should be easily rooted using su that I can "download from somewhere". Can you point me to where I can find a suitable su binary?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sirpy:
modifying fstab

Once you solve the readonly issue. you should be able to download and update supersu.

I've modified the fstab by extracing the boot.img opening it, modifying the fstab file and flash the modified boot.img back to the device.

you should be able to find numerous guides by googling on how to extract android boot.img.

for a quick fix, you can download the rom from needrom.com, and flash it. this rom is rooted and doesnt have any readonly issue on the system partition. (but you will loose everything on the phone)
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Beni.Falk:
Sirpy,

Thanks for the info.

Given your diagnosis that the problem stems from errors on the file system, would it, in your opinion, be possible to repair the file system? I googled around and found a couple of threads that mention various flavors of fsck to be run in recovery mode using adb.

Does it makes sense, in your opinion? Have you tried it? If yes, which fsck did you use (plain fsck, fsck.exfat, e2fsck, or what else)? Or do you think it might be dangerous and the risk is not worth it?

About the rom from needrom - people have been complaining about GPS problems (the workaround seems to be to flash the latest InFocus firmware before flashing the needrom rom) and also about lack of phone memory after installing this firmware (did not see a stable workaround for this). If I go in this direction, I will probably try using the MIUI ROM (from Looserom and 4PDA.ru) instead.

I am currently using the original stock version (15CN_1_03A) and everything seems to be working reasonably well. My only problem is the complaint from SuperSU about the need to install a new su binary, however the current su seems to be working (more or less), so I will probably wait.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sirpy:
Well, yes you can try to run fsck. you should follow the method i've outlined in previous post on how to boot the device into ftm mode. then you should be able to run fsck on the system partition (/dev/block.../by-name/system). you will need to run fsck with ext4 option, though i'm not sure if fsck is included, so you might need to download the android version of it and copy it to your device in ftm mode to the root directory change its permissions to 755. (remount / partition as rw)

Firmware download link not working

Hi there..... this is my first message here , my first problem is that i am not able to download new firmware by Infocus page, it starts to download but cames to nothing. By the way I tried to update on wifi to a new 15CN_1_080 available by updating menu software on phone but after restarting i see Android System recovery <3e> 00cn_0_23A and i can choose : Reboot system now or Apply update from internal storage or Apply update from sdcard or Wipe data/factory reset or Wipe cache partition. At the end of the phone display in yellow text i read : finding update package…Opening update package…verifying update package…Installing update… Mounting partition Verifying current system…." /hidden / data / CDA /100CN / CDA / setting.xml " has unexpected contents. E: Error in / data / media / 0 / update.zip (status 7 ) installation aborted .

Until now the phone is multilanguage by default with version 15CN_1_03A . How to procede to go on ?

Therefore i am not sure phone is not already rooted, how can i verify it status and if it is already good to be flashed with a new custom rom ?

thanks a lot
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sirpy:
i think that your version 03A is the latest so no need for firmware upgrade.

you probably have some update.zip on your internal storage/sdcard which doesn't work and the system tries to install it on each reboot.

you need to delete it. if you can't access your phone storage via usb, you should follow the methods i've detailed in previous posts on how to boot into FTM mode and mount the different partitions, so you can access them in FTM mode.

Trouble running (e2f)sck on the system partition

In case anyone stumbles on this thread and attempts to run (e2f)sck on the system partition via ADB in FTM mode - don't do that. It indeed found errors however it wasn't able to correct them (it output a message about an invalid argument passed to ext2 library) and left the system partition in an unusable state - the phone went into an endless boot loop.

It was still possible to go into FTM mode. I tried wiping and doing factory reset via the recovery but it didn't help.

I was above to recover from this situation only by loading new firmware (I loaded MC2-1130-0-10CN-A02 in .nb0 format (obtained on 4PDA.ru) using the SUTL LR loader (also obtained there) followed by the ROM from Needrom).

Having some issues getting a recovery to be flashed on this new device, I am not use to a phone that when rooted doesn't have some stock recovery that actually works. And by that I mean, allows me to install zip from file. All I get is the option to reboot, flash from adb, install from external, wipe factory reset, wipe cache, and install from cache.

Sorry if this has been asked a few times before, but with my searching I didn't find any one answer that solved my problem. Tried flashing a recovery via odin but it said Auth fail for the recovery. Going to try a few other things and see what I can come up with.

[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GuestK00143:
It sounds like you flashed philz touch recovery witch will not work with the VZW S5 you need to flash SafeStrap Recovery. You might need to Odin back to stock and re root your device to get it back to normal first.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ysosrslawl:
I didn't flash anything when I first started rooting the phone I just used towelroot, then when the OTA messed it up I went and did the NCG to NE9 method using odin and towelroot. But every time I went into recovery, it has been the same. It wasn't until I used the toolkit from the forums that installed safestrap and busybox did I actually get a different recovery, but even if I reboot into recovery it still takes me to the stock one first and then on reboot i can access safestrap.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chrisbass:
Yes, that's how safestrap works, through a process called "bootstrapping". It never replaces your stock recovery so when you boot into recovery it'll always be stock but upon boot you'll be presented with the safestrap option.....totally normal

On another note, my Supersu binaries wont update so I'm going back to stock anyway. I think I may leave it at stock for a while until I see some more ROMs come out.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Chopstix9:
Your other option is what I have done. I first went the safestrap route but installed rom on rom slot before finding out about the bugz in safestrap. So I odined back to stock. Instead of installing something with bugz in it I rooted, installed supersu and Xposed framework with some modules. Wanam module gives you most of the customizations found in custom roms. Tons of other modules for pretty much anything you want to tweak. Works like a champ on stock system.
