Hmm, I would help you if I could, but I don't know the steps for changing the boot screen. I haven't had the need for adb remount, sorry.

Just curious if you made sure usb debugging is on.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kaik541:
I've also never used the adb remount, but as for your comment about pushing... push isn't ran from "adb shell"

you should be doing "adb push <file to push> /path/to/where/it/goes/<file>"

Of course this needs root and, in places where the NAND is mounted as read only, you must do the remount option with r/w

There are tons of guides on how to do this on our forum, but I'm too lazy to find them.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bighurk:
The thing is, I'm already rooted so I don't know why I can't do those commands. I will try to mount with "adb remount r/w"?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bighurk:
yes i have usb debugging mode on.

I get exactly the same thing but can't seem to find any help :(
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GuestD0808:
I was having a similar issue. Maybe I can help.

First, I am already rooted and have busybox installed. Don't know if that matters, but can't hurt.

Here's what you can do:

C:\Program Files\android-sdk-windows\tools>adb shell
* daemon not running. starting it now *
* daemon started successfully *
$ mount
mount
rootfs / rootfs ro 0 0
tmpfs /dev tmpfs rw,mode=755 0 0
devpts /dev/pts devpts rw,mode=600 0 0
proc /proc proc rw 0 0
sysfs /sys sysfs rw 0 0
/dev/block/stl6 /mnt/.lfs j4fs rw 0 0
tmpfs /sqlite_stmt_journals tmpfs rw,size=4096k 0 0
none /dev/cpuctl cgroup rw,cpu 0 0
[COLOR="Red"]/dev/block/stl9 /system rfs rw,vfat,llw,check=no,gid/uid/rwx,iocharset=utf8 0 0[/COLOR]
/dev/block/mmcblk0p2 /data rfs rw,nosuid,nodev,vfat,llw,check=no,gid/uid/rwx,ioc

hortname=mixed,utf8,errors=remount-ro 0 0
$

At this point, we can see that /system is mounted at /dev/block/stl9. With that knowledge:

$ su
# mount -o remount,rw /dev/block/stl9 /system

Now your free to do whatever it is you were trying to do. When you're done, don't forget to :

# mount -o remount,ro /dev/block/stl9 /system

That should do it. Standard disclaimer, not responsible, blah,blah,blah...
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gunnyman:
How can I add these commands as aliases to the phone's shell?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jvanja:
Everything is fine until I get to

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] slifer315:
when you type su into the command prompt, you should get a pop-up on your phone saying unknown is requesting superuser permissions and you need to allow it or you will get denied permission.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jvanja:
Thanks! I passed that.. Now Im confused about whats the next step to push an apk into /system/app. I tried exiting from shell ("exit" twice until I saw C:\Program Files\android-sdk-windows\tools>) and then tried adb push.... but again I got No permission message ..

any advice?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] silvertag:
Did you do the "mount -o remount,ro ..." before you exited the shell ? sounds like your still on Read-only .

-First thing copy the .apk app into the sdk tools folder.

-Then do the following

adb shell
su
mount -o remount,rw /dev/block/stl9 /system
exit
exit

-Now from your windows command prompt in sdk tools folder
adb push my_app.apk /system/app

-Once your finish
adb reboot

After the reboot your /system is returned to it's original read-only state.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jvanja:
Thats exactly what I did..:/ Does shell give you a confirm that you got the rw rights after doing:

mount -o remount,rw /dev/block/stl9 /system??

In my case it only responded with the same line below..
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] silvertag:
No it wont say anything. After you've done the remount,rw check your mount with "mount" in the shell. The /dev/block/stl9 /system line should read like this.

/dev/block/stl9 /system rfs [color=green]rw[/color],vfat,llw,check=no,gid/uid/rwx,iocharset=utf8 0 0

rather then

/dev/block/stl9 /system rfs [color=red]ro[/color],vfat,llw,check=no,gid/uid/rwx,iocharset=utf8 0 0

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] avgjoegeek:
As usual - I am not responsible if your phone suddenly decides to become possessed or decides to commit sepukku and suicide honorably.

If you have a custom ROM that allows bootanimation.zip files you can do this through ADB by:

First I would copy the bootanimation.zip to your sdcard (same place your ROM.zip was put).

Then unmount the SDCard and open up ADB

Then... you run the following commands and you should be able to install the bootanimation.zip on your phone.

ADB shell

$su

//Look on your phone and allow Super User Access as soon as you type the su command otherwise it will hang then go back to your normal prompt and you won't have SU access.

//After you have su access you will be on your '/' root directory so will need to go back to the sdcard on your phone by typing the command below.

#cd sdcard

//Make sure your bootanimation.zip file is listed by typing the command below. If you don't see it - you either are not in the correct directory or your not in the correct area. Do 'pwd' to find out where your at on your phone.

#ls

//You should be able to do mv but cp will work here - if you get no errors and it goes back to the '#' it completed successfully. Of course... you can just run the command from Root - but I am paranoid and want to make sure the file I wish to copy over is available before wildly running stuff.

#mv bootanimation.zip /system/media

//Reboot and test!

// For the advanced folks - you can just do "su" and then perform mv /sdcard/bootanimation.zip /system/media and bypass all the cd/ls'ing around.

But... another way to do it - by Root Explorer from the Market and you can use the application to do it for you. But I'm a broke mofo and like figuring things out.

Good luck!
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Agelos_21:
Thank you very muxh.. Your directions were excellent....

By the way the copy must be done into /data/local in order the boot animation work

And now I can't get it to work again.

Trying to push my framework, but I keep getting "No such file or directory" or "Permission denied." Went through all of these steps, multiple times.

It's really weird because I had this same problem before, and was able to get a mount. Now, following the same steps, I can't get one.

EDIT: It's also strange, because I can pull from /system just fine. No idea why remount and push don't work.

Just an FYI on adb remount, it will fail if running a stock kernel even if you are rooted.

You will need a kernel in which the dev set ro.secure=0 in the build.prop file for adb remount to work.

Does it matter what 2.1 version you are currently running?

I am still on

firmware: 2.1-update1

bband: 1.39.00.05.31

PRI 1.40_003

PRL 60665

Not technically rooted - been more than happy just using Unrevoked(1) to give me s/u permissions on boot-up.

Been waiting for a definitive fool-proof way to get rooted 2.2 on my phone before applying ANY kind of root or OTA. The risk of jacking up my 4G or other issues just hasn't been worth the risk for me.

If you think this will work for me, I'll give it a shot.

Same here. Running the original shipped OS with Unrevoked app for wireless and Titanium. I've been curious about this too.

[EVO 4G Android Development] drbadass:
Same problem here.

I've tried to go all the way back to toast's part 2 unlocking NAND method, but i cant even go through the adb shell commands. Nothing but "permission denied" at the prompt, which is a $, not a #, su gets permission denied, etc.

I wanted to do that method so that i could get the ENG HBOOT and do the How To Start Over method by witslack but obviously I cant do that either.

At this point i am thinking perhaps my best bet is to take the 1.47 OTA, use unrevoked3 again (since the OTA would effectively undo U3 from the 1.32 software, right?), and then go unrevoked forever, then to one of the stock rooted 2.2 roms like SteelH's version.

Thoughts, anyone?
[EVO 4G Android Development] ajd6c8:
After searching around, I believe this is your only option. Mine too.

I just want to be sure that the FOTA isn't going to leave me with the bad PRI. When I search for HTC updates, I find FOTA 1.47.651.1 (30.15 MB). Can anyone verify whether or not this will change my PRI from 1.40 to the one that's ****ed up?
[EVO 4G Android Development] greyopaque:
I thought that it was the toast method that changes the pri. That's why I was thinking that doing the full unrevoked method would leave it untouched.
[EVO 4G Android Development] ajd6c8:
I think you're right. I'll repost back my results.

EDIT: Did the 1.47 update (FOTA) just now. Still running 1.40 PRI and now on 2.05.00.06.10 baseband, which is supposedly supported by Forever.
[EVO 4G Android Development] ig88b:
You can flash a new radio before doing unrevoked forever. There's a thread in this forum with the title "[Radios] All EVO Radio & WiMAX Radio versions" that has all of the radio versions.

That's correct, unrevoked doesn't touch the PRI.

[EVO 4G Android Development] SirKnightTG:
So let me just verify something here. I have 2.1 rooted with unrevoked 3 FYI.

If I follow these instructions to step 4, does this mean I'll have the official 2.2 but NOT rooted? If so, I guess then I could run the new unrevoked 3.2 (when they re-release it, lol) to get rooted 2.2.
[EVO 4G Android Development] SirKnightTG:
Ok I answered my own question there but now I'm stuck.

Here's what I did.

1. Started with 2.1 rooted with unrevoked 3, like I mentioned.

2. Ran unrevoked forever and have S-OFF. I verified this.

3. Flashed a stock recovery (since I had clockwork obviously).

4. Installed 2.2 OTA.

5. Verified 2.2 and it is running and of course non-root.

6. Since I still have S-OFF, I go to install clockwork from link off the unrevoked forever wiki. It says do you want to apply the update, I hit yes, it does it and says it's good. I reboot and it still says supersonic at the top. I've tried this over and over.

WTF? Why won't clockwork recovery install? I have S-OFF...
[EVO 4G Android Development] CodeBooster:
Cool!!! This is what I was looking for.

I love my stock ROM (2.2) and rooted with Unrevoked3 mainly for the wifi tether.

So, I was really trying to figure out a way to get OTA with my phone rooted and this tutorial here did the job! It was a pain in the ass to try to get PRI and radio updated manually, they actually broke my 4G connection.

I just finished installing the OTA update and the phone works great.

So here is a few pointers for other guys looking to do the same:

1. I was unable to find my OTA update in /cache/OTA... so I found this post which list the latest OTA update for download:

(unfortunately, I'm a noob :-) here and cannot post links, lol... so just search google for "Update HTC EVO 4G To Latest Version [OTA And Manual Method]"

2. I just re-run Unrevoked3 and it seemed to have worked.

Thanks!

Hi, I have a similar problem, but I have by far less knowledge about these things... I would love to have the docexplorer and reader pages, but it seems I only have them in HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\HTC\Manila (here they are listed AND enabled 0x0) BUT in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\HTC\Manila\Configuration I ONLY HAVE the following "tabs":

[Windows Mobile] mwalt2:
I think that's caused by not putting the xml for that tab in \Windows\ManilaXml. Make sure you have app.dat or initflashfiles.txt (depending on kitchen used) in your EXT / OEM. You could also add the line(s) to initflashfiles.dat if you want. If you're using/dumping ROMs with OSKitchen by airxtreme, it will automatically add the app.dat to the manila EXT. Sample app.dat/initflashfiles.txt for people tab below:

Directory("\Windows\ManilaXml"):-File("People_Pages.xml","\Windows\People_Pages.xml")

To fix without cooking, just copy People_Pages.xml from \windows to \windows\manilaxml. You may need to delete \widnows\manilafull.xml (it will be re-built the next time sense launches).

U cant update Android like that, cinsidering that updating Android needs you to flash the update which should be called "update.zip" but all in all, you have to wait for the Dev of choice to release a new build.
