AutoStart (Root) How To Question? - Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello,
Quick first time rooter NOOB question about autostart =)
Now in the instructions it states to:
"This application runs /data/opt/autostart.sh as root after booting the device and finishes. /data/opt/autostart.sh not provided. You need to create it and fill some commands you wanna run at startup."
Well im such a noob I dont know what to do.. should I create this on sdcard or just on phone? and if so... how? =)
Thanks,
Tim

I'm assuming your flashing through ODIN. You're gonna want to read this here....

Thanks for your kind answer!
Id just like to clear a few things up here:
1) I have rooted my phone with just SuperOneClick v1.5.5 w/busybox for my Samsung Vibrant (Galaxy S)
2) I have installed "autostart (root)" from the android market and as listed above, the instructions wants me to somehow create a file path?
Thanks again for taking the time to give me an answer =)
On a side note, I did try using titanium backup to delete the bloatware on my Galaxy S Samsung Vibrant but it said it was deleted and then when I restarted my phone it was still there and when I tried the "exploit" to force it to remove.. it still was there failing to find the file in recovery mode. any help with this?
thanks

[Q] *US Streak Owners*

Hello,
I have updated my AT&T Dell Streak to 2.1 and now I am in need of the original stock bootanimation.zip file. Can someone with a Dell Streak, with build 6601, run this command:
Code:
adb pull /system/media/bootanimation.zip ./
and post it to this forum or provide a link?
I will use this to replace the 2.1 boot animation (O2). Thanks in advance!!!
Last but not least, does anyone know how to remove the default RSS Widgets? Thanks again!!

If you can give me a little more detail and a step by step on how to exactly do this, I will do it for you.
Is everything still working ok with the Root you did last night? I am thinking of doing this tonight.
Everything is Fine!!!
Hey @mjaverto, thanks for willing to help! And yes, everything is fine; root worked perfectly!! It is what allowed me to update to 2.1 :-D
As a matter of fact I have modified my 2.1 ROM quite a bit:
- Removed O2 boot animation
- Disabled the black popup window that replaced the standard menu bar. I am back to using the 2.1 grey menubar
- Removed/disabled bloatware:
Twitter
Facebook
Getting started guide
Outlook task and notes
RSS Widgets
AmazonMP3 (Replaced with US Version from my Nexus One)
Also modify the build prop to boot US Locale by default and other minor changes. Now all that's left is to change H symbol to 3G symbol and add stock US bootaninmation.zip. That's where you come in. LOL!
Anyways, I am not sure how familiar you are with the Android SDK, but it comes with a tool called "adb." This tool allows you to do all sorts of debugging. It also give you the ability to push and pull files from the Android device's file system.
What I need someone to do is install/download adb and the command from my earlier post. If its done correctly, you will be able to pull files from the Streak's filesystem.
The file I need is:
bootanimation.zip (adb pull /system/media/bootanimation.zip)
I am not sure what OS you use, but here is some more info on adb (Windows specific): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1UF5w1dKe2U
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A1SOSXwkc_8
Not super familiar but I think I can do this for you. I'm guessing I will need the root done first to be able to use "adb"? Maybe you can share your 2.1 Rom with me after you change these last few things as I'd love to upgrade.
*Windows 7 64x by the way. Should that work ok?
If I have any questions I'll shoot you a PM.
Actually...
No, root isn't necessary. You will only be pulling (copying) files from the filesystem; root is only needed when you want to write to the filesystem and run root system apps.
...And there is one problem with sharing my ROM... I have no idea how to package it. Dell uses, as far as I can tell, a proprietary ROM package (.pkg) format. The best I could do is walk you through the process of getting 2.1 installed. I am basically modifying the ROM on the device.
Hopefully, someone will develop some neat way to backup, modify, and package ROMs for easy installation. Heck, a way may exist... Maybe someone could chime in and enlighten me.
I am not sure about Windows 7, I run Linux. My guess is that you shouldn't have any problems. PM me if you have any more questions or concerns.
***Edit: Is that path you have above correct for sure? I keep getting remote object does not exist.
Upload: I attached tools.zip. *Note the two files inside are the only two files I could find named BootAnimation on my phone which is stock 1.6 ATT US.
Please let me know if I can help with anything else.
Try this...
Try this:
Code:
adb shell ls /system/
and post the output
I posted two "BootAnimation" files I found above
See output:
Cool!
Now type:
Code:
adb shell ls /system/media/
Let see what this produces. Hopefully we will see the file:
Code:
bootanimation.zip
listed.
Nope
Nope sorry. I did a search of the whole device with Astro File manager and it searched all these folders. The above two are the only ones with boot animation.
A search for "boot" yielded these 4. There is no bootanimation.zip:
system/bin/reboot/
system/bin/bootanimation/ (attached in above post)
system/customization/BootAnimation/BootAnimation.xml (attached in above post)
system/bootpriority.xml
sorry.
Private msg...
@mjaverto, check your private messages...
Here ya go mate
I zipped up the bootanimation folder for you from my US Dell Streak Build 6601
Enjoy!

What steps did you take to update to 2.1?

You Are Man!! Thanks!
Thanks! You even grabbed the images! Awesome!!
Anyways, looks like you missed a step with getting 2.1. You need to install the stock UK recovery image: http://www.romraid.com/paul/streak/recovery.stock.img
This will get your recovery image to accept UK ROMS. From here, you should be able to flash 2.1 directly.
See @Greenarcher707's excellent post (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=7668927&postcount=6) on this forum for detailed guide. Since you have already installed the clockwork recovery image, you should be able to skip steps 1 and 2.
Once you have downloaded the image: (update-6941-21.pkg | http://www.mediafire.com/?bb9cvm5uaap2z8k), save it to the root of your SD as "Update.pkg."
The last step will be rebooting the phone into the recovery mode by holding "volume up" + "volume down" simultaneous and pressing the power key. From here it should be self explanatory.
Good luck and let me know how it goes. Hit me up if you have any more questions and thanks again for your help!!!
US Stock ROM Build 6601?
Awesome!! well I see you have to flash the UK stock rom which has a lower build than ours...Is there anywhere you can download the stock US Rom Build 6601 in case we want to go back to stock? Since the nandroid backup is not working in clockwork..I cannot do a a rom backup

Unfortunately, I don't know if a stock 6601 ROM exist. I figured that at some point the internets would produce one :-D But for now, those of us that took the plunge are stuck with 2.1 for now.
Thanks cemian!!
FYI...
I just completed the port of the stock boot animation to the 2.1 image. See: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=7681745#post7681745 for more information.
Thanks again @cemian for your assistance!!
I'm thinking really hard of upgrading to 2.1. but a lil scared but no stranger to flashing.how is this flashing compared to wm flashing.

I find it is alot easier than WM once you get the hang of it. I also find that Android phones are harder to brick than WM phone, but not impossible. Just make sure you do plenty of research before you take the plunge. Good luck!!

[Q] Eris Rooting track ball challenge

I have spent days looking for threads so this neewb is about to break something. Well maybe not. I have my daughters Eris 2.1 and am trying to root it for her. I have tried several times with different methods. The issue is that I can get into recovery mode after every 1 click app but nothing I try will let me toggle to unzip to SD, or toggle to anything for that matter, volume wont do it and all track ball will do is let me select reboot. Man my DX was easy compared to the one click method.
HELP PLEASE,
If the trackball is having trouble scrolling, I'd install the trackball-optional custom recovery so you can use other buttons to scroll. There are instructions for doing this here:
http://androidforums.com/eris-all-things-root/214240-amon_ra-1-6-2-custom-recovery-trackball-not-required.html
It sounds like you fall into "Scenario 2" which says you should follow the same method as "Scenario 1" to get rooted using the trackball-optional recovery.
I'll give it a shot, The help is much appreciated,
I am been trying to help him to get this thing to add the Custom Recovery, but every root format has not worked at all. Most are outdated or there are files missing. Specially on the link provided above. The download for the scripts no longer has Root_1 or Root_2, it has a bunch of other stuff there for gscript. Found an link on Droidforums for gscript for rooting and the scripts don't work.
Any complete instructions anywhere?

popfan,
I am not aware that any of the above links or files are missing... Can you point-out / tell me specifically which files you cannot access / download / link-to?
The root_part1 and root_part2 files are part of erisuser1's (bftb0's) Universal Root for Dummies! thread that I do reference in my AF thread, but these should still be up, active, and available.
So, I'm not sure if you are speaking about becoming rooted or installing a my trackball-optional custom recovery.
Let us know.
Cheers!
Im sure my kid has shuned me for leaving her Eris with someone so thanks to everyone for the help. Pop is helping me out and after moving file at the point where it says to open and look to see root 1 and root2 they are not there and there are a ton of other stuff. Also the pick look different than on the thread like the app has been updated. Also when doing the ball recovery there is no tools folder to be found. I'm sure pop wont touch it again till tomorrow so any other help / advice is more than welcome or it may cost me my Dx

LOL, sorry, didn't make/see the connection between your two posts .
Okay, let's try something new here...
Just a week or so ago, I re-packed jcase's 1-click rooting app to include my trackball-optional recovery image in lieu of the original recovery that his app includes.
So, let's have you re-root using the new 1-click app (all credit to jcase, both for his app and his threads both here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=742228 and over at AF http://androidforums.com/eris-all-things-root/139178-universal-1-click-eris-app-apk-no-pcs-no-scripts-needed-easy.html).
Since you've already used the 1-click app before, then all you'll have to do is grab my new "trackball-optional" version:
https://sites.google.com/site/scaryalienware/downloads/one-click-tbo.apk
MD5 sum: 15763b51cf707c027cc73bc117e1fc39
(the "tbo" in the name stands for "trackball optional" ).
Just follow the same process you did before while running the 1-click app and you should end-up with my trackball-optional recovery installed.
Let me know how it goes (you'll be the first besides me that I know of that has tried it; the user that I created it for to test has not yet responded, LOL).
Cheers!
I tried this link below. It no longer has the root_1 and root_2 in it.
http://www.megaupload.com/?d=774XYFRA
I did use your "updated" 1-click app with tbo and it worked great.
Thanks!!
Too bad this phone was not as easy as my captivate.

Glad that jcase's repackaged app worked for you. I'll update my documentation to make this available to others.
Also, re. the above Megaupload link...it works just fine for me (from my PC and from my Droid X) and includes all of the aforementioned root_part1/2 files.
I think you've fallen prey to a truncated download, which is not uncommon with Megaupload in my experience. This is also why is important to double-check the file sizes and MD5 checksums of files that you download so that you know you got the whole-shebang; notice that erisuser1 did include the MD5 in his thread for this file:
- Download gscript.zip (MD5 92796a8c6e61e8f1ee36e315c0acae7d)
I've often found it helpful to use a different browser other than the stock browser (like Opera Mini) when doing downloads via my Eris since the stock browser does seem to have more issues (timeouts perhaps) than it should.
Cheers!
Thanks to all this tuff till you hooked us up but now on to nightmare 2
I downloaded CyanogenMod7.1.0 RC1 [2.3.5 GingerBread NIGHTLY]
from this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=944430&highlight=ROM
Got it up but it has no market so I can not get to titanium, boot loader or anything... It says to flash google apps after the rom but now Im back to the trackball / volume key issue because it's all in titanium. ??? I did a factory reset and it came back up as the new ROM, ???
EDIT UPDATE!!!!
Sorry for the hassle all, the "green" start call button works as the down after the download.. All is well.. I think..
Again thanks to you all, If I hear of any good deals on an Eris I will know why.
You need to download GAPPS to your sdcard. That is why you don't have market.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=944430&highlight=ROM
Its just below link for the rom and save it to your sdcard. Go ahead boot into recovery and wipe data, daliv-cache, cache; Flash Rom again, then flash gapps and reboot.

[Q] How to Root Toshiba Regza IS04

I'm a complete noob and I've searched the forums and can't find an answer to my questions. (I'm sure there's some answer in Japanese on a Japanese forum somewhere, but my Japanese is not up to that level.)
I have a Toshiba Regza IS04 from AU (in Japan).
Running Android 2.2.2
Baseband Version 5014.1907.39
Kernel Version 2.6.32.9-rel [email protected] #1
Build Number FFK300
I have been researching rooting on and off for months since I first got the phone and have decided I would like to root it. My reasons for rooting:
1. I want to get rid of all the apps that were pre-installed that I don't use.
2. I would like to have the latest version of Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich. (I doubt that another authorized upgrade from au is ever going to happen, since the 2.1 to 2.2 upgrade.)
It seems from reading forums that there are special builds of an OS depending on the phone?
My questions:
1. What is the best way to backup my phone before rooting?
2. What would be the best rooting method for my phone (SuperOneClick?)?
3. How can I (or even can I) upgrade my Android to 4.0?
Thanks for any help!!
Sam
To answer my own question, in case any one else wants to know:
Okay... it looks like I cannot post external links... until I post 8 times, which I don't really predict doing... so I'm going to try just removing the http at the beginning and see if it will go.
Superoneclick v2.2 does NOT work with this phone. It gets through "Rooting device... Step #7" but cannot remount.
Unrevoked does not work.
Z4root also does not work.
But I found a Japanese site with directions that did work! YES!!
hibari.2ch.net/test/read.cgi/smartphone/1320415141/
Somewhere in the page was the following information and link:
■auto_rootkit_is04_v0.5+suhax
hotfile.com/dl/134084004/f59084e/auto_rootkit_is04_v0.5suhax.zip.html
I downloaded the zip file and extracted it. I clicked on adb.exe first and then clicked on the auto_rootkit_is04 batch file. I just hit enter after each step. (It's in Japanese, but all it says is each step it is doing and then to hit any key.)
The first time I ran it, it did not work. The second time, I turned my phone off and on again before trying anything, and bingo: I had root!
Some of the Japanese threads were saying something about the problem with superoneclick was that the is04 took too long to mount and so there was an error. At least, I think that's what it said. My Japanese is okay, but not always good enough for this type of stuff.
I hope this can help someone else.
Thank you so much for this response!
I have the same phone, and I've been wanting to root it for a long time. There were so many pre-installed applications that are just hogging room, especially since I can't read Japanese well enough (yet).
-T
I hope it works for you too!
I spent probably the equivalent of 2-3 days searching over the last few weeks, but couldn't find anything that I was comfortable with trying.
This morning, I finally got the nerve up to try superoneclick and was really disappointed when it wouldn't work. Then I started trying all kinds of methods, and about 8 hours later finally came across the method that worked!
It's probably the only thing frustrating sometimes about having a Japanese phone: lack of English support!
Now I'm just hoping I don't break it! I'm backing up all the apps with Titanium backup before I start deleting them one by one. I would hate to delete something that is crucial to the system and not be able to restore it. I'm also looking into other ways to backup the system.
One word of warning. Your au one market will not work unless you do one more step. It's mentioned in English in the readme file. I didn't bother because I never download from it anyway. (Although, I probably should just so I'll keep getting updates on some of the J apps that I do have.)

hi!
I am a newbie here and like you all, I would also like to root my regza phone. Can someone give a working auto_rootkit because the link above is not working. I have searched it as well on the net but still all will lead me to dead hotfile link. Or someone could send me the file instead to my yahoo mail [email protected] tnx in advance
And also i have downloaded this rootkit instead from IS04 and downloaded. After dowloading, I click the adb file and it appears a command screen with commands running so fast. Next i did click the root file and there appeared a command screen with all sorts of command running so fast. My question is, i did not received any confirmation that the rooting process was succesfull. And also i have read to other forums that one thing you will notice that rooting was successfull is that 'superuser" will be automatically installed.
Please help me on this one. To be honest I started exploring this process since i have this phone and there are apps that i wanted to uninstall not unless i root the phone.
Thank you in advance

:good:
My phone just had this phone and I'm trying to update it before rooting. It came with 2.1-update 1 OS version and I'm trying to update the phone to it's latest official 2.2.2.
I've downloaded the necessary 256mb file update but it didn't work. Even tried using the recovery but is still not working.
Based on my research about this phone, There's no way to update without the phone downloading the app from the official website, using the SIM and au logins.
We've lost the sim (UIM) card that came with the phone. So I guess its stuck on its current OS. I'm having trouble installing apks (Gingerbreak and even normal apps) as it always gives me the error "parsing error" or something.
Is there anyone could help?
EDIT:
I have successfully updated the phone from Android 2.1-update1 to Android 2.2.2.
Download all the necessary files here:
http://www.fmworld.net/product/phone/is04/
I have used the method of updating from the least upgrade and up to the latest. I have managed to download 3 separate files for the upgrade, namely:
IS04_RC2_RC3RE_DL.zip
IS04_RC_4.zip
IS04_TO_SP_FYRC_4.zip <- froyo update
I have extracted all the files on the sd card. make sure that the ".enc" file is found on the root of the SD Card and on the "prg" folder.
I have updated it using the recovery mode (power + volume up + camera button).
I am now currently trying to Root the device using Gingerbreak and seems that it's taking too long to root.
Also. I have able to root the 2.1-update OS using z4root.

I downloaded the zip file and extracted it. I clicked on adb.exe first and then clicked on the auto_rootkit_is04 batch file. I just hit enter after each step. (It's in Japanese, but all it says is each step it is doing and then to hit any key.)
The first time I ran it, it did not work. The second time, I turned my phone off and on again before trying anything, and bingo: I had root!

I hope this can help someone else.

Thx so much for your posts.
I am so glad to finally find someone with the same phone, the same problem and intentions
I do, however, need more info:
Did you extract the files into any particular folder? You obviously hooked up in de-bug mode, but did you command prompt anything?
I tried your steps but get nothing to 'hit enter' on. I have also tried the other (different version) toolkit.
You can IM me or email or post or come around and root my phone yourself - I will sell you my car, house, wife...
... as you can tell I am a little frustrated ...
lets just IM/email for now
Thx in advance,
Kaz

[Q] VZW SGS4 One-Click De-Bloat Procedure

Hi XDA Folks,
I am having trouble completing the one-click debloat process described in this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2313341
and since I'm a new guy, I can't ask the OPer in the thread for advice/guidance... Maybe someone here can help??
I'm running a rooted Verizon S4 with Synergy ROM. I followed the procedure described by xrabbitfootx in post #28 of the above mentioned thread to edit and compile my own BAT file of bloatware I want to remove.
I have checked and double-checked that my BAT file is formatted according to his procedure.
When I run the BAT from my computer, as described in post #30, the terminal window shows it running, it completes, my phone reboots, and yet I'm still left with the bloatware that I started with.
Can anyone help pin down where I'm going wrong?
Also, it seems that in post #32 an alternate method is described by xrabbitfootx. Can anyone please tell me how to utilize the script from that post to remove bloat? Maybe that method will work where the BAT file method hasn't. I'm just not sure if I need to transfer that zip to my phone's memory or the sd card, and once it's there, how do I go about loading it? Should I be using CWM?
Thanks to the community for any help you can offer. I think I'm just a little too new at this to fully grasp all the initial steps that a more experienced user assumes we all know, and that must be taken before engaging in something like this.
Much appreciated!

Hi bhp,
So maybe you were following your original thread where rf helped (with your script as the backbone) me get it to work??
In the end, it looks like it was some edit that I did to the zip file that was causing it to fail. I'm going to, as time permits, go back and check my altered script against yours and rf's and see where I goofed.
As of now, my phone is rooted, Synergy ROM'd, custom de-bloated and running great!! Thank you for all your help. I'll stick to your original thread with my attached script once I figure out where I went wrong.
thank you for all your help and hard work!!

[Q] cloudfone Q005G not properly rooted?

You can skip this. Unless you're truly concerned :victory:
Hi guys. I'm new here. I searched on the forums and in google about rooting Q005G and no correct results. Therewas this guy searching for rooting a geo 47i something and other models. The closest answer could be here: http ://www .infotechmaestro. com/2016/01/how-to-root-cloudfone-kitkat-android.html?m=1 (remove spaces. I cant post urls, i think) but still, i can't trust it yet.
I am looking for a correct way to root a Q005G cloudfone properly because i rooted with kingoroot on my pc and, yeah, I finished it and all. It was easy... too easy.. which was suspicious. Anyway, you might say "your device is not compatible with kingoroot", well, it says on their page their root is compatible with anything before 5.1 android, and mine was a 4.4.2 kitkat. Also, it said there it is compatible with cloudfone. So I went ahead. Anyway, after "rooting", I tried to download a root verification/checker app and a terminal emulator. First I tried using the checker, and it says root was not properly implemented or smth. Then I checked the terminal, tested it first, then typed "su". It doesnt even show anything after, but I noticed $ was before the "su".
I unrooted (dont think it was even rooted in the first place) it and deleted some apps that was supposed to be prepared fpr my grand rooting, like the titanium backup, es file explorer, adaway, etc.
Any way to fix this? Thanks for any help and salamat :good:
Also, there may be typos and all. I'm using my mobile. And I'm not too great at speaking english.
