lost root

hey guys, i'm not a big fan of posting if a question has already been answered but i've gone through this thread a few times and just want to be sure:

i lost root when trying to apply the OTA directly from sprint (rooted using ragec and joeykrim permanent root patch). i had (obviously) removed some of the sprint apps so the update failed and when rebooting found i had lost root.

so now i'm without titanium etc... i can just wait til i get home but i'd like to see if i can get this update applied while here at work. i'm downloading the sprint apps zip to my phone via dropbox. can i use a terminal emulator right on my phone to copy to /system/app and then try the OTA and then just re-root after?

any help appreciated, noob to android but trying to learn fast!

EDIT:

well i ended up just rerooting the way i knew how, downloading the system apps, pushing to sdcard and busybox cp to /system/app/ in a batch. then my phone would register the update was available so i downloaded the signed one from first post, renamed to update.zip on root of sd and updated from stock recovery which WORKED! pretty stoked about that. think i'll hang out here for now to see what else develops.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Shane112358:
I could really use help here. I am rooted Stock although I did use Titanium to remove some of the OEM apps. I am trying to update to D107 using the 24MB update.zip from my /sdcard. I'm by no means a linux expert but I did a lot of rooting and heavy mods on my Palm Pre before, so it's not completely unfamiliar.

I put my apps in the /sdcard folder

I've tried going to terminal and doing

su

mount-o remount,rw /system

and I get back the Usage: mount.... reply. Not sure what I'm doing wrong.

I've tried using Root Explorer and copy/pasting the files. It flashes as if it copies but it doesn't. I've tried using Root Explorer just to mount as RW, then going back to the command prompt and doing

busybox cp /sdcard/*.apk /system/app (yes, busybox is installed)

but I get back that the folder is read only. Even though Root explorer still says it's RW. edit: File Explorer also says no permission

Anyone please help?
[Epic 4G Android Development] Shane112358:
Anyone? Bueller?
[Epic 4G Android Development] Firon:
You're not mounting correctly.

since you have busybox, you can just do remount rw
[Epic 4G Android Development] Shane112358:
Well then, I must be retarded. Because I'm trying this every way I have learned how from here and the Pre and it's not working. What exactly do I need to enter at terminal?
[Epic 4G Android Development] toastcfh:
adb remount

If u have busybox that will mount the system rw / read and write
[Epic 4G Android Development] Shane112358:
adb: not found.

Maybe I should have clarified that I am running terminal directly on the phone. :o
[Epic 4G Android Development] Firon:
I told you. remount rw

:P

or if you don't have busybox, mount -t rfs -o remount,rw /dev/block/stl9 /system
[Epic 4G Android Development] Shane112358:
Weird, the busybox version isn't working even though Busybox says it is installed.

The regular version worked after an 'su'....update *finally* applied....thanks :-)

All credit goes to newone757 (see this thread) for the original idea, inspiration and most importantly the PSD template with which I made these icons. Without further ado:

What you will need:

1. Desktop Visualizer for the icons/"tiles"

2. Launcher Pro Plus (though ADW Launcher's widget resizing function may work just as well) with homescreen set at 4 columns and 5 rows

Widgets used in these screenshots are Battstat ("small, numbers") and Digital Clock Widget by Maize (the date's text is set to black and therefore invisible). The vertical Power Control Widget comes with CyanogenMod6 (thank you, Cyanogen and #teamdouche!). Please note that I made the icons so that they're displayed optimally when you hide the status bar, as that's the display I prefer. The font used is, naturally, Zegoe/Segoe UI.

Looks great. Just finished using the original icons on my setup. Does anyone know what the screen resolution changes to when you switch from 240 LCD density, to 200? I'd love to resize the icons to fit perfectly, but right now it just looks like crud, lol
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] grainysand:
Sorry, been busy. But:

You will want the original PSD templates (download from newone's thread), not my PNG. :) If you've got those already, just click on the layer with the image, select the image and delete it. Find a new one, paste it on and it should remain behind the text layer.

[Nexus One Themes and Apps] smackiesfunkies:
awesome thanks man, that link worked

great icons can't wait for more

what do u have set up for the folder icon? cause I am drawing a blank on finding a work around to have it open a actual folder, if that's possible
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] grainysand:
The folder icon is actually for folder organizer. Obviously, not enough space for "folder organizer" as a title. So it goes with several other icons, hence the icon for Dropbox being a picture of a box with the caption "drop."

If you've got any apps you'd like icons for, feel free to request.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] AITT:
Hi,

I sent you a PM, not sure if you got but I'd pay you to custom make some images for me for my Nexus if I sent the pics to you? I don't have the proper software program to make them. Please let me know. I wouldn't ask you to do them for free and I feel that people who design stuff for us should be rewarded for their time and work.

Thanks in advance hopefully.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] grainysand:
Apparently I disabled e-mail notifications for PMs. What do you have in mind? If it's more icons, making them is really very easy and I wouldn't want to take payment for it especially when I'm using someone else's photoshop template to start with. :)

[Vibrant Android Development] s0niqu3:
I get basically the same results you see Eugene. I can't break 2.1-2.5Mbps on JI2 modem in the same room that I can get 4.5+ Mbps on JFD modem.

Thanks for your hard work, cheers

=)

~ Jocelyn
[Vibrant Android Development] eugene373:
Thanks for letting me know.. I spoke up in another thread & a guy Called BS on what I had said about this... Glad it's not just me seeing these results.
[Vibrant Android Development] masterotaku:
Some of this likely has to do with the actual service quality in your area..I get fairly similar results regardless of which modem.bin...

Tested just now and got 4.1Mbps down/1.3Mbps up with JI2, which is basically what I had been getting with JFD.

Though speed doesn't seem to be impacted for me here, at work where my reception is marginal to say the least, I get better data connections consistently with JI2.
[Vibrant Android Development] eugene373:
See I'm just the Opposite in the same Location / Same spot with out moving the Phone... I get the same result on my Phone.. 3.5 /4 with new & 6+ with old.

Only thing I can figure is the older modem bin is more tolerant to higher noise to signal ratio..
[Vibrant Android Development] masterotaku:
Likely what's going on in my case is that I'm limited by backhaul capacity so that I simply cannot see the faster speeds you are with the original modem.bin from JFD.

Still, at the no-man's-land I work at, JI2 will allow me to have some sort of data connection (usually Edge) when the JFD modem will not, so I'm sticking with JI2 for now. Just works out better for me.
[Vibrant Android Development] eugene373:
No I totally agree, use the one that works best for your area for sure :D
[Vibrant Android Development] Goog1e Phone:
So I'm running your R3 Hybrid Rom and my speeds are a lot better than any other rom I had. If I want to try this out and I end up having worst speeds, then how would I revert back to my original settings?
[Vibrant Android Development] numba1cuban:
Well I wouldnt call bs on you but my results are that with the New JI2 Leak I can reach a speed of ~6mbps Before on the old firmare i was alway ~3mbps. My upload went from ~500 kbps to ~1.5 mbps. My Ping is also down to about 85. The speed test on my sig is outdated and was done through tethering on a stock JFD firmware.

I think that not all these phone are behaving the same just like jac oc kernel on some phones it works on some it just simply doesnt. I was running your rom before and even though it was a lot snappier i wouldnt sacrifice the GPS, Battery Life, And browsing speed I get with the New JI2 Leak. Others are not so lucky with the new firmware, But calling BS is TOO General of a stement because every single hardware is slightly different.
[Vibrant Android Development] numba1cuban:
These are the new results i thought I would quickly share just to show the improvement the new firmware made for me compared to my old one in my signature:
[Vibrant Android Development] zbt1985:
anyway to get this so it can be flashed via clockwork?
[Vibrant Android Development] backward0:
ok im trying to understand how this works. if i were trying to pull this modem.bin and push it to my phone using adb it wouldn't work. is that right? Is that because the kernel doesnt support the newer version? i was thinking of pulling it from a clean nandroid of the update and going about it that way... or would i be wasting my time?

Thanks
[Vibrant Android Development] scrizz:
I'm getting 4-5Mb/s on the new firmware.

That's pretty much the same i was getting on the old JFD.

I don't know if it has ti do with the service level in your area; I am just posting the results i'm getting.

On another note, Eugene, my compass was working fine in JI2, but not in your Franken-Twiz rom.

:(
[Vibrant Android Development] blackerwater:
Nice I also hope we can get the new update broken down into three files for odin and not just one. It seems to work better that way.

I am getting 5MB down and 1MB up on JIT2. bassically the same if not better then the stock.

Im in the USA on tmobile.
[Vibrant Android Development] eugene373:
okay, might be something odd then in my area.. Same Results though with BarakinFlorida. Tower issue?
[Vibrant Android Development] scrizz:
might be, even though i am in Florida too.

lol

or maybe there are some phones with hardware issue?

it's very strange

what do you think eugene?

and sorry i called BS on u in the other thread

lol

[Vibrant Android Development] RobBull69:
My speed test results are wildly inconsistent with the leaked firmware, but the phone seems a little quicker. Thanks for this, will have to flash on my lunch break.
[Vibrant Android Development] barmanham:
Anyone else getting dropped calls lately after flashing franktwiz or is it just me?
[Vibrant Android Development] eugene373:
it caused by hitting Volume down & up.

I've not been able to track the issue as of yet.
[Vibrant Android Development] eugene373:
np, I just know I wasn't crazy hehe... Thinking it is Hardware related at this point... idk?
[Vibrant Android Development] barmanham:
Eugene could it be you removed HAC mode? heh I doubt it but try and leave that option in there in your next ROMs I find the vibrant incall volume to low so I use that hearing aid mode lol
[Vibrant Android Development] scrizz:
that's what i'm starting to fear might be the case.

just like with the gps/compass issue.

I'm thinking it's all related somehow...

:confused: :(

just ran these on JI2 rom in tampa, FL
[Vibrant Android Development] s0niqu3:
Ok, well, I decided to re-test (previous test, with JI2 being only 50% the speed of JFD was done on complete JI2 flash, this test was done with franken-twiz with only the JI2 modem.bin) and the results are essentially equal now, no idea why.

I'm going to flash back to a complete JI2 and try again, see if I get the same results, or the 50% speed again.

Cheers,

~ Jocelyn
[Vibrant Android Development] martin0641:
I updated with the file provided, mind you I am using Vibrant7 while plugged in at 1200MHz. For some reason Odin bricked me 4 times before allowing the flash to go through, but Eugene's method got me past the ?>>Computer screen each time.

Living dangerously...

I ran the test 5 times, phone in the same position, and averaged the results.

Stock JFD = 4122.4	1168.6 Ping ~ 256

New Bin = 5799.2	1170.0 Ping ~ 64

I can say that, so far, it seems snappier when accessing net related content, things like the market, social media, and DNS requests and site loading, and Map address queries are much faster.

Hope this helps.

UPDATE: I was going to see if the WiFi speeds were affected, but I cannot get the WiFi to work now. The only change made was the application of the modem file Eugene posted. The laptop I am currently on is using the same WiFi network flawlessly.
[Vibrant Android Development] eugene373:
That an Unfair assessment Test! Don't base any test off my builds as I've modded the Rild in bin & made Build.prop edit...

All my tests are done from Stock Rom's
[Vibrant Android Development] martin0641:
Although I understand why you are suggesting people only test with stock, it would do me no good since I don't use it. Vibrant7 is my control, and if the driver works great on stock, but horribly on Vib7, then it's of no use to me. It's not as if I would go back to stock just for the driver.

Plus, if there are variances in how the driver operates between your builds, you might be able to surmise why, based off what you changed in the build, and make an even more awesome ROM.

Also, if it works great with say, Vib7, but horrible on Vib8 or Vib6, more I am sure some thought on the matter could result in optimizations of some sort.

Since you are doing the stock test, we have that covered. Did you post a JFD file to revert to after testing somewhere?
[Vibrant Android Development] eugene373:
The JFD Modem file is what's Posted IN the OP.
[Vibrant Android Development] scrizz:
Eugene is the developer....

He knows what he's doing.

Once he get's the issue resolved don't u think he would update all of his builds?

:rolleyes: ;)
[Vibrant Android Development] blackerwater:
This is the jfd modem to flash over ji2

Sent from my vibrant
[Vibrant Android Development] eugene373:
I never said that... I base my Results on Stock to Stock...

Works Fine on other builds, I just said it's not fair to Compare Stock to my Builds as I've made edits so it's not a Fair Judgment..
[Vibrant Android Development] scrizz:
yes u need to keep all other variables the same.

:)
[Vibrant Android Development] martin0641:
I simply misread his intent, I just wanted to see if the JI2 driver would be a snap-in improvement on an existing JFD device.

So I was using the Vib7, which was based on the JFD build. I flashed the "NewmodemPDA.tar" which I thought was the modem driver for the JI2 that just came out.

The performance is certainly different, but if I am reading you right, I just flashed the JFD over the old JFD and it should be the same (assuming the Vib7 driver was stock)

As to the "Me too" responses from the peanut gallery, if I decide to test something and post results, I get to do that. I kept the variables for my test the same, for my purposes, in case someone thinking about doing what I was doing. I wanted to see if Vib7 could use the JI2 modem as a direct plugin, so I don't have to totally redo what is actually a decent setup that I have working. No animals were injured in the testing of that file.

So now I can spent some time trying to tinker with my setup and figure out whats going on. With the exception of the WiFi issue, it really is working a lot better.

Is there a JI2 modem only PDA file floating around for flashing or are people just using the whole stock thing with the old driver for testing?
[Vibrant Android Development] martin0641:
I flashed the GPS files ripped from the JI2 as well, they work great on JFD.

The WiFi problem I was experiencing is gone after I joined different APs and came back.

Either this file I flashed fixed a problem I had and didn't know or there is something different about it than the Vib7 version.

As a result of flashing this file, my ping over 3G is ~66, my speed is over 5700 down, and things are snappy.
[Vibrant Android Development] CompConfig:
I am running JI2 on the leaked ROM right now. is there an oden set to flash the modem to the old one and then flash the modem back? That would give the best test results as the only thing changing would be the modem file. I would be happy to do several tests bot ways.
[Vibrant Android Development] yodaddy:
I tried this with odin.. after booting and while reading sd cards, I get a TW force close message, and phone freezes
[Vibrant Android Development] wildklymr:
So you will need to use odin to flash JI2 again, restore your nandroid you should have made, I would recommend redownloading the modem bin just to be safe. Then lather, rinse, repeat.
[Vibrant Android Development] eugene373:
Found what is Causing it!!!

It's not the Modem.bin, it's the Radio Libs.. :mad:
[Vibrant Android Development] yodaddy:
yea, I had the TW force close after a fresh install of J12 through odin.. (which btw seems to be a pretty stable rom.. I don't mind TW at all)
[Vibrant Android Development] smolomiami:
hi eugene is this the New JI2 Leak Modem ? or the old one ? right now i running the New JI2 Leak firmware and i just wonder if anyone have the old modem just to try flash it and see the difference thanx
[Vibrant Android Development] scrizz:
well at least you tracked it down :D

:cool:
[Vibrant Android Development] CompConfig:
That's great, care to share a little more info please? Is the radio set so that the phone speeds are slower? Would we be better off flashing back to a JFD build and just using the GPS update from the JI2?
[Vibrant Android Development] eugene373:
Well, from looking at it, the old libs will allow Dual Connection to the Network.. In return it measuring the signal from both 3g/E & H which is why are signal is all over the place... ( Never changes from umts )

With the New lib, it changes from umts & hspa in testings, but now no dual connection to both H / 3G.

Not sure if this was an error in the old libs or not, but the Files needed from JDF are..

libsecril-client.so

libsec-ril.so
