Delete the file from your computer, download it again, and repeat the steps starting with the last adb push before your md5 sum.didn't match.

Few questions

Has there been anything on rooting directly from the phone?
And has anyone made an update.zip with unlockd boot?

Yes, you can root directly from your phone by using terminal emulator but you have to put photon-torpedo.tar to /data/tmp first. I rooted my photon on the phone itself.

Ok can you please tell me how you got terminal to process your commands. I get permission denied every time I use terminal to try and do anything with /data. I obviously need root to complete the commands using terminal to write to anything besides the sd. I would appreciate any help. Thanks in advance.

Did you install superuser from market? You also need to install Superuser and push photon-torpedo.tar to /data/tmp
then type the following in terminal emulator:
cd /data/tmp
/bin/tar xf /data/tmp/photon-torpedo.tar
/data/tmp/photon-torpedo.sh
/data/tmp/install-su.sh
Just say "THANKS" to Edgan for great work and job well done.

Not sure if you were responding to me or the other guy but my MacBook and my Linux laptop both recognize my phone but they both say its offline when I try and use a adb. Some people say they have done this root without the computer and just using the terminal on the phone but I get permission denied messages since it needs root. I have super user installed but that does me no good without root. I want to know how they got past the permission denied using the terminal on the phone?

Make sure you have USB debugging checked. Menu > settings > applications > development. This was my problem when I first tried to adb the file to the /data/tmp folder on the phone.
Also, I was getting an error at "Run /data/tmp/photon-torpedo.sh," but I just ignored it and kept going. It worked. You can use root checker from the market to verify that you have root.

Thanks for the advice but the both of us are not using adb. I always have debugging enabled. We are both trying to do this from or phones with terminal. An update zip would be amazing :~)

Ok. I thought one of you was trying to use a Mac or something to push the file then use terminal. And an update.zip would be awesome!

I was trying to use adb with my Mac and my Linux laptop but both give me "device offline" when I use adb. I'm going to try a different USB cable as I have seen this happen before and a different cable works but I find it hard to believe that i'm the only one that used stock cable and does not work

Lol, I guess they all vanished! Funny thing is that I am not new to Linux and those are busybox commands which
1: busybox does not come installed on the factory ROM and
2: even if you install it from the market it still needs root access.

If you cannot help then just save your useless comment! Your bringing back bad memories from the EVO forum. That forum was full of bashers and flamers.

As long as its in $PATH and not in sdcard (no exec permissions) it should work.

Copy john to /system/xbin
chmod 0755 /system/xbin/john
cd to user directory included in the download.

Stock System Dump

I might get flamed, but it's okay. What are the command lines for doing a system dump on the Note. I've tried performing one, but not having much luck doing it. It could be wrong commands lines. IDK. Im trying to make a stock CWM flashable zip. I would like to start on my own rom. Please no laughing.Lol.
On A Side NOTE(Get it,NOTE)I am still looking(Google-ing)for the info. Thanks
I will send you the dd commands when I get home tonight

Code:
dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p24 of=/sdcard/system.img
there are other ways to get a dump, like simply getting the content:
Code:
tar czvf /sdcard/system.tgz /system
both commands need root, and they are quite possibly not on the device by default, so you probably need busybox
i don't really recommend the second command, because some other blocks are mounted into the system (like the modem),
so you would get unnecessary data
Thank you very much. :thumbup:

there should be a few ext4 drivers or mount tools out there,
google, download one that looks good, and mount the image,
then you should have the drive mounted, and you should be able to access/modify the data

Has anyone tried this yet via editing the build prop file? I want to give it a try but some phones don't play nice with changing the density.

I got it to work. Copy the build.prop file to your computer and make your changes there. Then reboot your phone into recovery (TWRP is what I used), mount System (in TWRP), ADB push the edited file back onto your phone, and then use the TWRP file manager to apply CHMOD 755 onto the file. Then reboot and enjoy.
That last step (CHMOD) may not be necessary. I never tried leaving that step out to confirm one way or the other.

You can't edit it while booted in android, you need to flash it.
