Hi,
I succeeded at installing the recovery image using flashrec and making the nandroid backup. Now I'm trying to go to the next step of the rooting tutorial for noobs: MODIFYING THE CODE TO GET ROOT ACCESSS
This is my cmd (administrator rights) in Fastboot USB Mode:
Code:
c:\sdk\tools>fastboot devices
HT**KL****** fastboot
c:\sdk\tools>adb devices
adb server is out of date. killing...
* daemon started successfully *
List of devices attached
This is my cmd (administrator rights) in "normal mode":
Code:
c:\sdk\tools>adb devices
List of devices attached
HT**KL****** device
c:\sdk\tools>adb shell mount /system
Usage: mount [-r] [-w] [-o options] [-t type] device directory
c:\sdk\tools>adb push su /system/bin/
failed to copy 'su' to '/system/bin//su': Read-only file system
c:\sdk\tools>adb push su /system/bin
failed to copy 'su' to '/system/bin/su': Read-only file system
c:\sdk\tools>adb shell rm /system/app/Superuser.apk
rm failed for /system/app/Superuser.apk, Read-only file system
c:\sdk\tools>adb push su /system/bin/
failed to copy 'su' to '/system/bin//su': Read-only file system
c:\sdk\tools>adb shell mount -o rw,remount -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /syste
m
mount: Operation not permitted
c:\sdk\tools>adb shell chmod 777 /system
Unable to chmod /system: Read-only file system
I am running Windows 7 (x64), I downloaded the latest adb tools and usb drivers using SDK Setup.exe. I installed the ADB drivers properly (using the manual wizard to browse to the usb_driver folder and restarting my computer) for the fastboot USB and for "normal mode" with the option debugging usb active.

I couldn't find anything by google that solved the problem... I hope you guys can help me out..
First and foremost, please post questions like this in the Q&A, or GENERAL section next time. This part will be moved for you though.
Ok,... I think your making this more difficult than need be. I haven't looked at the link you provided as my phone is playing up..
Take a look at BTDAGs guide linked in my signature... If you have already successfully installed the custom recovery, all you need to do now is pick a custom ROM to download and flash using the recovery.

That is quite an old guide you're following. Try mine, or the one here http://villainrom.co.uk/viewtopic.php?f=107&t=2028 or there is universal androot - which will just give you root access on any rom.
you should use this to mount system in read/write-mode:
Code:
# mount -o rw -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system
alternatively put adb shell in front of:
Code:
>adb shell mount -o rw -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system
And by the way, you should do this from recovery mode (which is accessed by keeping home-button pressed down while turning on. I assume that you have a custom recovery)
Moved to Q&A as not development
Managed to put the recovery rom on it, thanks!
sorry to post it this late. can you pls explain how you resolve? if its available in some other thread, can someone guide me there. have been doing search on the forum for a while now. thanks!

I wanna install a custom ROm on my lg optimus one but something goes wrong. I installed z4root and rooted the phone. Then i installed terminal emulator and typed the specific code starting with su .The phone restarted and i pressed and kept pressing the 3 buttons (power+vol. down+home) but no menu apeared. I did the procedure 10 times but the menu didn't apeared. Am i doing something wrong or my pfone is brocken?
Did u copy paste all commands at once?
I did it manually tiping it by hang on my phone. I didn't coppy the text from my computer.
seems you didnt unzip the two recovery image files. Check it.
I unzipped all the files the image file, the recovery file, everithing. And i coppyedboth the zipped and the unzipped files
I checked it again and i have ony one recovery file and not 2... Which is the second recovery file?
Read this, I just instructed another user on how to upgrade to version 1.2 of the custom recovery. You should install it too. You will find links to the two files and the commands to type in the terminal.
Good luck!
flash_image.zip ??
I have flash_image zipped and unzipped
Use this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=971245
when i type the code it says:
$ su
# mount -o remount,rw -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock1 /system
# cat /sdcard/flash_image > /system/bin/flash_image
cannot create system/binflash_image: read-only file system
# chmod 755 /system/bin/flash_image
# mv /system/etc/install-recovery.sh /system/etc/install-recovery.sh.bak
# mount -o remount,ro -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock1 /system
# flash_image recovery /sdcard/LGp500-recovery-v12.img
# reboot recovery
Use what I told you and forget about those lines !
Try copy paste each command one by one....
I did just like here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=971245 but an error apeared: "windows cannot find groot.exe". I saw that there was anotxer member with the same problem but i didn't understood how to fix it.
try copy paste from stock browser on phone to terminal
So I'm totally unable to do anything to my /system in CWM via ADB.
Code:
> adb remount
remount failed: Operation not permitted
> adb push item.apk /system/app/item.apk
Failed: Permission denied
adb shell
$: su
Segmentation fault
$: rootsh
~# mount /system
mount: mounting /dev/block/mmcblk0p9 on /system failed: Device or resource busy
~# su
# mount /system
mount: mounting /dev/block/mmcblk0p9 on /system failed: Device or resource busy
# mount /system/app
can't find /system/app in /etc/fstab/
Pressing "unmount /system" in CWM results in "Error unmounting /system!" message. I tried pressing "Fix Permissions" but it didn't help. The only thing it did was that "su" results in "Segmentation fault" instead of "Permission denied". I just flashed my Lite'nin ROM again but it didn't fix anything.
I do have root access in normal OS so I can probably do some stuff in terminal emulator. But why is /system busy all the time?
try this:
adb shell
$ su
# mount -o rw,remount -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mmcblk0p9

Thanks. That apparently mounted the /system but adb was still unable to push the files there. Maybe that is because "su" is still not working, only "rootsh". So I moved the file to my sdcard and then moved it to /system in shell.

since you are using a Secured Kernel(probably the CF-Root with CWM), you have to push the files to /sdcard
and then copy the files from the sdcard to the /system directory.
you can only push files with adb directly to the /system directory, when you are using an insecured kernel.

Oh. Thanks for the info, that cleared things up! I thought you only need to have a custom recovery in order to push with adb but apparently it's about the kernel.

this not working for me ,still can't mount the system i can't rm9 at ADB at all please help me !
Hi,
I have just installed wolfs 2.3 with hotfix and am having trouble with adb commands
I have tried pushing files to /data/data and I get this error
Code:
failed to copy 'name of file here' to 'path here' : Permission denied
However, if i boot into recovery and manually mount data it works.
My question is
what is the code to mount the data partition from adb?
I know
Code:
adb remount
mounts the system partition but i need the data partition mounted.
I have never ran into this before, all my adb commands worked whilst the phone was turned on...
any help please.
More issues
Code:
adb remount
does not work....permission denied
Also, using apk manager I cannot push sytem files to /system/app
This is quite irritating
The correct command is:
Code:
mount -o remount,rw -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock2 /system
Code:
adb shell
su
mount -o remount rw /system
works for me.
How can I do this without a sd card... thanks in advance.

Flash the recovery image?

adb push recovery.image to /cache or something
flash_image recovery /cache/recovery.img
I'm trying to flash the recovery without a SD card, because my phone can't mount a SD card anymore. So I'm using the recovery here http://www.lg-phones.org/lg-optimus-v-custom-recovery.html and Flash_image to flash it, but I need ADB codes to do so. I'm not very good with ADB, so I need the ones without the flash_image recovery /sdcard/ recovery-thunderc-v-1.2.0-GNM.img /sdcard/ part. :/

It the same thing as tvall has mentioned but I will make it more easy for you.
As mentioned in the link that you have provided, just do this instead:
A) Type in 'adb remount'
B) Copy recovery-thunderc-v-1.2.0-GNM.img to platform-tools directory where android SDK is installed.
C) Do a 'adb push recovery-thunderc-v-1.2.0-GNM.img /system/xbin'
[Now the recovery image is inside your phones memory @/system/xbin location]
Following are the existing steps from the link: Modified step is made bold.
1) mount -o remount,rw -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock5 /system
2) cat /sdcard/flash_image > /system/bin/flash_image
3) chmod 755 /system/bin/flash_image
4) mv /system/etc/install-recovery.sh /system/etc/install-recovery.sh.bak
5) mount -o remount,ro -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock5 /system
6) flash_image recovery /system/xbin/recovery-thunderc-v-1.2.0-GNM.img
7) reboot recover

This error came because there is no file called 'install-recovery.sh' inside /system/etc. This is fine since you are anyways not going to use that file.

This part I am not that clear but it might be that the recovery 'recovery-thunderc-v-1.2.0-GNM.img' is corrupt or may be 'flash_image' is corrupt. You can also check for the amount of free memory by typing in 'df' and 'free' respectively. df would give you phone memory stats and free would give you RAM stats. Verify if anything is too low.
For the last permission denied error do a 'ls -l' at /system/xbin and check for the permissions.
I will look around to see if I can get some clues till then, lets wait for someone who can help you better.
[ADVICE: Since you are playing around with system binaries make sure you take a backup of /system/bin atleast.]

I tried again about 8 hours ago. I got through everything with no error, but when I got to recovery, it was still the old one. I'll try again once I get home.

Other option (if your phone is rooted)
Install RomManager and install CWM or alternative.
If you're not rooted you need to do that first.
After that you can flash any recovery you want and you don't need to mess with adb
You can try to flash a recovery via LGMDP. I've flashed CWM 4.0 by this way.

Can someone with a sd card, and adb, test this out? I don't want to test it out, cause without a sd card mounter, if it doesn't work, I'm screwed. If it doesn't work, I'm sure you have a nandroid on your sd card, hopefully. Please and thank you.

The following method is actually for 2.2 virtual machine ... but should work fine for 4.0 too ... i'll confirm after i have tested it ... meanwhile you can try it ..
You'll require
'su' binary
and
'busybox binary'
SU BINARY : See post's end
BUSY BOX BINARY : see posts end
Then, we need to start the emulator by providing extra partition size to /system. This can be done only through command-line
Code:
emulator -avd MyAndroid -partition-size 128 -no-snapshot-load
Make sure the AVD “MyAndroid” is already created. The “-no-snapshot-load” option is used if we enabled the snapshot. As a result, we will start the emulator with extra disk space for /system. By this, we can adding extra files to /system later.
Then, we need to use “adb shell” to remount the /system so that we have write access to the /system.
Code:
adb shell mount -o rw,remount -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock0 /system
Then, we can push the su and busybox to the /system/xbin.
Code:
adb push su /system/xbin/
adb push busybox /system/xbin/
Now, to actually make the su work properly, we need to chmod it,
Code:
adb shell chmod 06755 /system/xbin/su
adb shell chmod 06755 /system/xbin/busybox
Now, we need to install Superuser.apk (which you can get together with “su”). We can install it with “adb install” command. It is required when the other apps request for “su”.
We can try our “su” with Root Checker Basic or Stericson Busy-box.
Now, that is rooting. You might feel happy with it. However, if we restart the emulator, without snapshot, all the “su” does not work any more. So, we are going to customise the ROM image.
Failures
Now, if we restart the emulator, everything will return to default. No more “su” and Android Market. Why? The reason is because whatever we done to the /system, it will not save to the ROM image.
The /system is actually from the system.img, installed with android-2.2 in my case. This file is mounted in emulator as yaffs2 file system format. In order to customise this ROM image, I have tried several ways.
Using unyaffs, it can only extract the image, but I cannot continue. I can simply pull the /system using adb command without it.
Using yaffs2utils, unyaffs2 produced nothing. And the image built by mkyaffs2 does not allow the emulator to boot.
Using mkyaffsimage, also not work as above.
Some resources mentioned that, we can get the mkyaffs2image utility when building the Android source. But the problem is, to get the source, it requires a lot of disk space and need a long time to download.
So, what is the best way to modify the system.img? I even tried the low level way using dd to extract the /dev/block/mtdblock0, but failed.
Solution
Finally, I tried to solve it with userdata-qemu.img. This is the /data folder that will always modified when we install apps in the emulator. Restarting the emulator does not reset /data. Therefore, we can simply create the ROM image from /data. We can done it simply clean all the /data.
Code:
adb shell busybox rm -R /data/*
This will remove everything is /data, except “lost+found” folder.
Code:
adb shell busybox ls /data
Check with ls command, make sure only “lost+found” left.
Now, since the /system contains the “su”, “busybox”, Market and Google Services Framework we have done earlier, we need to copy the whole /system to the /data.
Code:
adb shell busybox cp -a /system/* /data/
adb shell busybox ls /data
As a result, the /data is identical to the /system.
Now, we have the userdata-qemu.img file in the AVD folder, which is modified. Close the emulator. Then, we can use the userdata-qemu.img file as the system image. We can rename it to system.img, or calling it as the system with “-system” option from the emulator command-line.
Start the emulator with this customised system.img, now, we have busybox by default, and also Android Market. :good::highfive:
Tip
If you are doing this on windows make sure you CD to here for issuing the commands:
%profilename%\AppData\Local\Android\android-sdk\tools
Don't use the stuff in C:\Program Files\Android. That is the wrong location.
The below gets your GAPPS too. You can download Cyanogens GAPPS to get what you need. Just edit the necessary lines below.
cd %profilename%\AppData\Local\Android\android-sdk\
.\tools\emulator -avd MyAndroid -partition-size 2047 -no-snapshot-load -verbose
echo wait for boot
pause
.\platform-tools\adb shell mount -o rw,remount -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock0 /system
.\platform-tools\adb push %~dp0platform-tools\su /system/xbin/
.\platform-tools\adb push %~dp0platform-tools\busybox /system/xbin/
.\platform-tools\adb shell chmod 06755 /system/xbin/su
.\platform-tools\adb shell chmod 06755 /system/xbin/busybox
.\platform-tools\adb shell busybox rm -R /data/*
.\platform-tools\adb shell busybox ls /data
.\platform-tools\adb shell busybox ls /data
.\platform-tools\adb push %profilename%\Downloads\gapps-ics-20120317-signed\system /system
.\platform-tools\adb shell busybox cp -a /system/* /data/
Which busybox binary?
You don't say which of the various busybox files in the .7z archive is to be used on the AVD?
I try to push the su, I got this message:
C:\adb>adb push sources\root\su /system/xbin
failed to copy 'sources\root\su' to '/system/xbin/su': Directory not empty
Then try push the Superuser.apk
C:\adb>adb push sources\root\system\app\Superuser.apk /system/app/Superuser.apk
failed to copy 'sources\root\system\app\Superuser.apk' to '/system/app/Superuser

I think that's because of this:

How to make the System ROM space more freely???
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Sorry for my noob question. Now, I see.
I have done untill rename userdata-qemu.img to system.img
But while I run from AVD Manager, my AVD got bootloop.
That's because you haven't started your emulator with additional space. Use the -partition-size option as per niranjan94's post above.
I found an even better way to make a /system image, and adapted it for use on Windows hosts and using the x86 emulator images now available.

Place this batch file in the same folder as the mkfs.yaffs2.x86 binary and you'll get an emulator image updated to your liking and ready to run.
Code:
@echo off
adb -e remount
echo Pushing mkfs.yaffs2.x86 to device...
adb -e push mkfs.yaffs2.x86 /data/local/
echo Executing chmod 770 /data/local/mkfs.yaffs2.x86
adb -e shell chmod 770 /data/local/mkfs.yaffs2.x86
echo Setting /system partition to read-only (Just to be safe!)
adb -e shell mount -o ro,remount /dev/block/mtdblock0 /system
echo Creating YAFFS2 image of /system
adb -e shell /data/local/mkfs.yaffs2.x86 /system/ /mnt/sdcard/_system.img
echo Pulling image to local directory...
adb -e pull /mnt/sdcard/_system.img
echo Cleaning....
adb -e shell rm /data/local/mkfs.yaffs2.x86
adb -e shell rm /mnt/sdcard/_system.img
echo OK
pause
Don't work on 4.2.2 emulator
Ι mean I push it, give permissions, install su.apk ... still nothing...
On 4.2.2 emulator
Hi,
I got the same error on 4.2.2 emulator.
So I tried with size 256:
emulator -avd Andy2 -partition-size 256 -no-snapshot-load
and it worked fine.
Also, I'm using CPU ARM (armeabi-v7a). So for busybox I used the binary from this thread:

Could anyone help me how to overcome this issue?
Hi,
i've followed your instructions step by step and didn't encounter any problems while executing the commands, but the emulator is not getting rooted according to the Root Checker app (see also the screenshot attached). Could you help me please to solve this issue?
Here is an enumeration of the commands I've entered into the console:
emulator -avd Huawei -partition-size 256 -no-snapshot-load
adb shell mount -o rw,remount -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock0 /system
adb push "C:\Users\Admin\Desktop\Superuser-3.0.7-efghi-signed\system\bin\su" /system/xbin/
adb push "C:\Users\Admin\Desktop\busybox binary\busybox" /system/xbin/
adb shell chmod 06755 /system/xbin/su
adb shell chmod 06755 /system/xbin/busybox
adb install "C:\Users\Admin\Desktop\Superuser-3.0.7-efghi-signed\system\app\Superuser.apk"
adb install "C:\Users\Admin\Desktop\Root Checker App.apk"
Hi,
I have the device created in AVD, started, but for the life of me I cannot open ADB:
Code:
[email protected]:~$ sudo adb devices
[sudo] password for joel:
List of devices attached
[email protected]:~$
What to I have to do to trick the virtual device in advertising ADB? Developer is on, USB debugging is on. Using a virtual device as closely matching the LG Optimus F3Q as I can recall (so API 16 / Android 4.1.2 loaded).
Many thanks.
EDIT: Figured it out. Need to use the adb provided in the Android SDK (in the platform-tools directory), not any other version (I was using the Debian-provided one).
Unable to root nexus 4 avd
I tried to root Nexus_4_API_21.avd (lollipop) following commands from the post exactly.
I used latest versions of superuser, and busybox.
But at the end emulator is not rooted.
Could someone help with with this, if you have rooted avd please share it so that I can download.
Thank you.
Regards
I tried to root with Lollipop, Kitkat, and even Gingerbread, but it doesn't work.
Under Lollipop and Kitkat, it's not rooted, but under Gingerbread, I can't install any application afterwards.
When I try to, the emulator looks like it reboots, but it never goes to the end, and keeps showing the Android logo glowing.
For android 4, 5 and 6 I write manual in russian. Read it here: http://4pda.ru/forum/index.php?showtopic=318487&view=findpost&p=45421931
Worked for me with AVD Lollipop and Marshmallow.
