kaama's fix - superuser force close issue still tricky

The superuser force close issue is still a bit tricky. I wiped the superuser app's data and everything got dramatically ..... worse. It wouldn't let any app have superuser status because it kept force closing. It's now working but .... I don't know whether this is a consistent fix and what of the following combination of solutions worked:

1. Deleting the Superuser apps' data meant I had to run all my root-requiring apps again and add them to the list of allowed apps. I opened the Superuser UI and kept it open (at the App tab) in the background while I ran my root-requiring apps one by one so as to add them to the list in the App tab.

2. Change the Superuser notifications from 'toast' to the standard notification bar. It seemed to be crashing at the point of flashing a 'toast' notification to the screen. I haven't had one crash using standard notifications (.... yet).

3. Run BusyBox from Market and use that version instead of the one kamma uses/points to.

4. Run Rom Manager's 'Fix Permissions'.

..... still ... this could all be superstition .... cross-fingers no more crashes.

Is this rom original for htc desire hd europe?

and will it be on air update?
[Desire HD Android Development] afrcom15:
Yes and probably
[Desire HD Android Development] Wegener22:
Did You use the Zip to upgrade or the RUU.exe?
[Desire HD Android Development] gravityz3r0:
Hmm, my WiFi error too after following Kamma flash procedure. Anyway, I have downgraded it back again to 1.3.2. :P
[Desire HD Android Development] kristofpetho:
1.72 upgrade

All, I haveupgraded to 1.72 from 1.32. I do miss the rooting, but overall 1.72 is a much better ROM:

1. Faster, smoother interface

2. Battery drain slightly better than before

3. Accented character handling working now! :-)
[Desire HD Android Development] Eddie1506:
Damn :( What about radio S-OFF? Will it allow me to root (without downgrading)? Aren't system and recovery write protection turned off with radio S-OFF?
[Desire HD Android Development] liam08:
I'd love to give this a try, but not a chance because of the loss of root. Such a shame.
[Desire HD Android Development] mike1986.:
ROOT access is given by two files - superuser.apk and su. I think this should work if you are radio s-off.
[Desire HD Android Development] afrcom15:
If you had full radio S-OFF B4 you 'upgraded' then you can downgrade and gain root as normal. If you had just ENG S-OFF then your gonna have to wait until someone figures what HTC have done.

EDIT** sorry didn't read your question very well. What Mike said.
[Desire HD Android Development] Eddie1506:
Yeah, I know that. Just asking because I havent done permaroot yet on my DHD, just temproot with Visionary so I don't know how things with permarooting work.

So, can anyone confirm, if I do radio S-OFF now while on 1.36 ROM and then upgrade, will I be able to flash CWM through ROM Manager and push su and Superuser.apk to /system to gain root access?

@afrcom15 And without downgrading? If we can write to /system and /recovery with radio S-OFF, what's the point of downgrading?
[Desire HD Android Development] mike1986.:
I think you can also fastboot flash system system.img so that new hboot wont be on your device and then you can easily push root files.
[Desire HD Android Development] Eddie1506:
I don't mind the new HBOOT since I don't want ENG S-OFF anyway.
[Desire HD Android Development] afrcom15:
I flashed a modified rom zip last night minus the hboot and recovery as this left me with the eng hboot and radio S-OFF, VISIONary still would not gain even temproot.

Before that flashed an unmodified rom zip with the same result, not quite sure where the issue lies as it doesn't seem to be hboot related
[Desire HD Android Development] derkie:
re: radio

same error here. any solutions?
[Desire HD Android Development] than33:
For me after updating YouTube stopped working. It always shows 'cannot play this video'. :(

I got new system.img and new radio.

EDIT:

I flashed boot.img (original kernel) and now everything seems to work OK. Also there is no problem with YouTube updated from market. So they definitely did something with YouTube.

Kamma: please look into this, may You can fix this? Probably we will have to wait for new HTC kernel source.
[Desire HD Android Development] Walker Street:
Partial fix for Superuser force-closing

Superuser (force closing) is still not perfect, but I found it behaved better after I did the following:

I have adapted instructions from: ashketchum for the Milestone to suit a stock HTC Sense Rom (1.72.405.3)

(ashketchum original post: http://androidforums.com/milestone-all-things-root/117463-superuser-apk-bug.html)

PROBLEM: Superuser keeps force-cloosing after flashing system.img and rooting the phone using kamma's method posted on page 10 of this thread. A CLUE AS TO WHY: Try installing superuser using Market or the Clockworkmod zip update (su-2.3.6.1-ef-signed.zip). Afterwards: Look in /system/bin. There is no “su” file, not even a symlink. Look in /system/app. There is no “Superuser.apk” file. No wonder it keeps force-closing.

Use the following steps to install Superuser manually.

1. Download the "su-2.3.6.1-ef-signed.zip" file from ChainsDD (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=682828) and extract the "Superuser.apk" and "su" files from it.

2. Copy those two files to your sd card and after that remember to eject/unmount it from your pc and change back to "charge only" mode or disconnect the USB cable so that your sd card is accessible from your phone.

3. Install Terminal Emulator from Market if you haven't already.

4. Open Terminal Emulator and use "su" command to become root (you should be able to experiment with wiping the data and cache from the superuser application so that it works at least once to grant Terminal Emulator su without force closing)

5. Remount your phone's system partition as writable using the following command.

Code:

mount -o rw,remount -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mmcblk0p25 /system

You can verify that /system is represented by /dev/block/mmcblk0p25 in HTC Stock Roms by issuing the command: cat /proc/mounts and reading the table.

6. Copy and replace the old Superuser.apk with the new one from your sd card.

Code:

cp -f /sdcard/Superuser.apk /system/app/

7. Copy the new "su" file from your sd card to /system/xbin and change permissions to 04755.

Code:

cp /sdcard/su /system/xbin/

chmod 04755 /system/xbin/su

8. Create a symlink in /system/bin to the new “su” file in /system/xbin.

Code:

ln -s ../xbin/su /system/bin/su

9. Reboot phone.
[Desire HD Android Development] than33:
about SU force closes:

I've downloaded su from rom manager (under extras). Rom Mamanger was unable to reboot and flash so I rebooted and manually entered to recovery and installed su. After reset everything seems to works great.
[Desire HD Android Development] kamranh3:
Error :(

I get this error when I try to install the new radio:

fastboot flash radio radio.img

"sending 'radio' <24832 KB>. . . FAILED <status malformed <1 bytes>>

Something I'm doing wrong?
[Desire HD Android Development] hamdir:
did anyone provide a rooted version minus HBOOT that can be installed through clockwork recovery?
[Desire HD Android Development] BlackTigerX:
I am pretty sure you are in HBOOT and not in Fastboot mode, had the same... :rolleyes:

Just press the power button one more time while in HBOOT to go into fastboot mode
[Desire HD Android Development] Walker Street:
I've also flashed the su-2.3.6.1-ef-signed.zip for ClockworkMod .... and my experience was the exact opposite (it didn't work). Everything seemed to install well, but when I rebooted: su was not present in /system/bin and Superuser.apk was not present in /system/app. What a capricious rom this is!!!!! Beware .... in my experience superuser may work for a stretch and then collapse in a heap again. Having said that I hope yours is solid.

I seem to be having more luck with this method at the moment:

Push/copy both the su file and Superuser.apk to /sdcard/

From Terminal Emulator

su

mount -o rw,remount -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mmcblk0p25 /system

rm /system/app/Superuser.apk

cp /sdcard/Superuser.apk /system/app/Superuser.apk

chmod 644 /system/app/Superuser.apk (I got this one line from: http://xdaforums.com/archive/index.php/t-750806.html)

rm /system/bin/su

cp /sdcard/su /system/bin/su

chmod 06755 /system/bin/su

rm /system/xbin/su

ln -s /system/bin/su /system/xbin/su

Reboot

[Desire HD Android Development] adnan.makarevic:
hi@all

im confused little bit.. i have now three version informations, 1.72, 12.28e and 26.04.. could somebody explane to me, what this different version informations are/means?

on my phone i see:

baseband-version: 12.28bxxxxx_26.03xxxxxxxx so what can i understand under baseband-version?

build-nummber: 1.32xxxxxxxxx and here the same, what means the build-nummber?

so we upgrade now our baseband-version(i think you call it radio) to 12.28e but after we downgrade to 1.32 build-nummber.. what exactly is this baseband and what build nummber?

if im right, there are more levels in a ruu.. the system as self, like the os, and then something like a bios in a pc?? we upgrade the bios, but go back to the old os, while the new one is not rooted right now?

i try to understand, so many thanks for your help!
[Desire HD Android Development] wakers:
Buggar thought i was Proper S-Off after reading a few guides, doesn't look like it though can't access recovery anymore :(
[Desire HD Android Development] cattleprod:
ive maded a PD98IMG.zip file of this ruu and you can flash in hboot (cant flash this by recovery)

just install on to root of sdcard.

hold volume down and press power to go to hboot

wait for it to load and follow on screen instructions

I,ve removed the radio.img,recovery.img and the Hboot form this zip file so you dont lose s-off and clockwork recovery.

http://www.megaupload.com/?d=6C50CO0B

also if you wanting root you need to download here http://rapidshare.com/files/438729922/gfree_root.zip

unzip to the root of sdcard

then put phone in to clockwork recovery,plug usb in and go to mounts and storage

mount system and mount sdcard(should both read unmount )

then type

adb shell (# will appear)

cp /sdcard/superuser.apk /system/app/

cp /sdcard/su /system/xbin/

chmod 06555 /system/xbin/su

unmount system and sdcard

reboot

now sould have root
[Desire HD Android Development] :
What do you devs use for extracting system.img? unyaffs just crashes here...
[Desire HD Android Development] El_Nino9:
the file system is not yaffs for the dhd, i believe its ext 3 but i may be totally wrong lol.

i mount loop the file in ubuntu. so does this have a new boot.img? i.e. kernel? or is it the same one kendon has allowed adb to work
[Desire HD Android Development] :
Thanks will try :)

EDIT: Worked like a charm :D
[Desire HD Android Development] wakers:
I've already flashed :-( so lost recovery option :-( anyone any ideas how to get recovery back? If I flash an older ruu can I go about it that way?
[Desire HD Android Development] cattleprod:
you could try but don't look it will work cause of the new Hboot that put in place the dev's sould soon find a fix for it doh.
[Desire HD Android Development] abrasive:
If I choose to update the radio only, will it wipe my phone clean? If so, what happens to the apps I've purchased? I'm so new to this that it's embarrassing :(
[Desire HD Android Development] :
No it'll not do anything except updating the radio if you only flash that.
[Desire HD Android Development] abrasive:
And if I use http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=857537 by jkoljo, will that erase anything? Also, will upgrading the radio break further OTAs?
[Desire HD Android Development] Eclectik:
Just to add, the market remembers items you've purchased aswell :)

So you can always get them from there after a wipe.
[Desire HD Android Development] abrasive:
Thank you, that rules out my second greatest worry. Now I only need a program that can back up messages without root. I don't trust Sense.com. All of my messages got wiped before :/
[Desire HD Android Development] nednapalm:
SMS or email messages?

If SMS, I would highly recommend "SMS Backup and Restore" by Ritesh Sahu (in marketplace)

Works with Sense, Cyanogen anything really.
[Desire HD Android Development] wineds:
Look a few pages back. One of the devs was looking for someone in trouble like you to try out some things over IRC. Maybe PM him. He seemed to think all was not lost. Good luck :)

I have gone back to 1.32 as wifi does not work using kammas method :(
[Desire HD Android Development] orkorolev:
Not flash. Without changes

:(

1.32.405.6
[Desire HD Android Development] wakers:
Thanks will take a look into it, just read on another thread that i might actually still be S-off as it still says so just visionary won't work, i might get away with flashing an older RUU and re-rooting, downloading an older RUU at the mo :)

Flashing Radio

Sorry...

Very noob and possibly foolish and off topic question, but can someone point me in the right direction to a "step by step" guide/instructions on how to flash radio?

Thanks in advance
[Desire HD Android Development] mike1986.:
Take radio.img from RUU, put it into your fastboot.exe folder (normally SDK/tools), turn on your phone in fastboot mode, then open terminal and type

fastboot flash radio radio.img

You must be s-off to do it.
[Desire HD Android Development] rulezzzor:

My dhd is rooted and s off ( not radio s off ) and custom kernel if I flash this lastest stock rom will my dhd return to factory with ota updates or is it not that simple ?

Thanks

Simon :o
[Desire HD Android Development] El_Nino9:
depends, if your device is branded, i.e. from a network provider such as tmobile or something then you require a gold card.

if you are not branded, i.e. have/had official htc firmware then no you do not require this.

really its easy to radio s off now which gives you super cid, sim unlocks your phone and radio s-off which is awesome.

but yes if you run this it will get you back on stock and you will get ota updates from htc directly.

off topic

not flashed new radio. but if i do so doesn't it get rid of radio s-off? so won;t i need to get rid of it again? i mean because of the super CID i believe i can drowngrade. just wondering.

people who are having issue's with wifi are having problems because of the kernel update i believe. if they keep the wifi .ko file with the boot.img from the old one it might fix their problem :P rather then using the old boot.img and using the new .ko file for the wifi

i wish i could new how to add adb to the new kernel to test it out...doh
[Desire HD Android Development] cattleprod:
sorry i dont understand what you mean here?

you can only run this in bootloader
[Desire HD Android Development] than33:
If You will update radio.img, boot.img, sytem.img You will get completely everything You need to run stable new ROM and You don't need to wipe anything!

This is really no good idea to have any piece of three from other version of system. New radio on old system can be unstable and can cause problems. My point is: if You want update to new radio You should consider updating boot (for new kernel) and system (for android). Otherwise Your phone can be unstable. And no, You don't need to wipe anything.
[Desire HD Android Development] afrcom15:
I and probably others are running the new radio by itself with absolutely no issues, I find it better than the older one
[Desire HD Android Development] dr.m0x:
Yes no problems here although I've only had it for about an hour. New radio and a 1.32 based rom.
[Desire HD Android Development] than33:
It could be. And it MAY be unstable.

This is like using drivers from Windows 98 in Windows XP. It may work good, and may not.

I recently switched my daily driver from Axura 2.1 to Nero v1.

Prior to flashing Nero I odin'd back to stock.

I've since noticed that my 3g connection is sporadic at best, with my phone spending the majority of its time on GPRS (G icon).

While troubleshooting I've flashed the JK6 Modem back over Nero, and have noticed the same behavior.

This behavior is also evident after flashing back to stock via odin.

The question is:

Given that this problem is visible in Nero and after flashing stock via odin, is there any possibility that this is a software based problem?

If anybody has encountered similar behavior, any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

I've just uploaded an v2.0 of this ROM, where the Power app is to set backlight.

There is an operator app? and for the autoconfig, I removed it because it uses much RAM, you can look at your Operator site for the GPRS settings.

I hope I helped you?
