[Q] Scripts / Mods

How do you know if you have to flash in cwm or terminal emulator? or both?
You cannot flash anything in terminal emulator. TE can be used to run scripts that are already present on your system. CWM is for actually flashing the files onto your phone, not directly running any of them.

Running zip files from terminal emulator

I've seen many posts saying you can run zip files designed for CWM from terminal emulator. I've tried this but I must not be doing it right. Can someone give me a sample command line sequence of what you type to run it? Do you use the full file name with the .zip extension included?

Telstra Deodex

I'm trying to deodex my atrix with the 4.1.4.2 sbf, but I'm having trouble. I think it's because I don't have superuser permissions of adb, how do I get this?
adb shell
Su
On the phone itll prompt you with a super user permissions.
Run the script now and it should work

Is this done through Terminal Emulator?

free not found in terminal?

GT-I9300 with siyah kernel 1.5. Trying to enable swap partition by using hardswap mod:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1814311. But after I installed terminal emulator, there's no free command. The terminal displays "/system/bin/sh: free: not found ".
Another question is that when I was installing the zip in cwm, one line of the output was "script successfully installed to init.d", but I can't find that folder at all. Where is it?
Try installing busybox. Download an app that does this by searching for "busybox" on the market.
Stericson's (don't know if I spelt that right) or JRummy's busybox installers should be fine.

Can I Re-Root using Terminal Emulator?

Hi im using the lgp-769 v10g T-Mobile and i was rooted on this phone but i lost root and now in system xbin i have a file named su.old, i explored this using file browser, i found that i can access this file using terminal emulator which changes the $ sign to #. I accessed it via /system/xbin/su.old... anyways I'm wondering if there is anyway i can use this and terminal emulator to regain root? I also have busybox and kbox2 working in terminal without root if that even matters... can someone kindly point me in the right direction, it would be most appreciated. Thank you all.

Code:
cp /system/xbin/su.old /system/bin/su
chmod 644 /system/bin/su
or try
