[Q] Un-rooting question - Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Bit of a noob question here, as my ADB proficiency is a bit lacking... In the sticky titled "Return to stock properly and safely" the instructions refer to pushing a file called "misc.img," however, when I attempt this, it obviously finds no file with that title. I've downloaded the two files from the post and tried them both on the root of my drive and in the tools folder of the SDK, but with no luck. I'd like to unroot for the time being to compare rooted performance to stock performance (i'm sure I'll end up rooting again before long... I bore easily!) Any input from the pros would be welcome! Thanks!

I'm pretty sure you can just slap on the pg05 img onto your sd card, reboot into stock recovery and let it load..

sounds like you dont have your path set correctly if you placed it in the tools folder and it didn't push You could manually cd your sdcard or whichever location the misc.img file is placed in to push it if your path IS set correctly and I'm overlooking something...

you have to extract the misc file to your tools file

Help with root and Mac - can't post to development section

I keep getting this error when I am trying to start the first command in terminal
Jays-Mac-Prolatform-tools experience$ ./adb push psneuter /data/local/
cannot stat 'psneuter': No such file or directory
I have all of the files downloaded. the file on my memory card. I have been trying this for a few nights now and I can't seem to figure it out. Any help would be appreciated! Coming from my incredible with CM7 Nightlies to a non rooted thunderbolt for 2 weeks now is killing me!

I posted a pretty comprehensive walkthrough in the development section.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1011623
I recommend you look through there first. now, what you've done wrong: The files don't go in your sd card, they need to be put in the platform tools folder.
Post in my thread if you have anymore trouble, or if it helps you.
I would post there but I dont have 10 posts yet.
I don't have all of the files on my memory card only the one where you change it to p5000 or whatever it's called the problem I'm having is when inam doing this
Now, navigate to your home folder and there is a text file there for you. Pretty neat, eh?
Now, we need to navigate to adb. Go to your android-sdk-mac_x86 folder, open it. Now, go back to terminal, type cd and drag the folder Platform-tools to the terminal window. You should see a green dot with a plus sign in it, that means you can add the folder to the terminal window. It should read something like this:
Code:
cd /Users/Your Computer's Name/Downloads/android-sdk-mac_x86/platform-tools
If you moved the android-sdk-mac_x86 folder (Like I did) after downloading it, it will only be slightly different. (My folder was in my home folder, so it just says /users/my computer/android-sdk-mac_x86/platform-tools)
Once you do this, you are ready to begin
Once I Follow these directions above I am getting thus error
Jays-Mac-Proplatform-tools experience$ ./adb push psneuter /data/local/
cannot stat 'psneuter': No such file or directory
I am at a loss. Please help!
bump. Need some help figuring this out. Been reading the the guide here http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1011623 and I still can't figure this out. Any help would be appreciative

Just to confirm, psneuter, busybox and misc.img go into your platform tools folder, not your sd card. You aren't actually pushing anything, and you're receiving that error because there is nothing to push. Now, if you put the files from the exploit folder into your platform tools folder, it will work.
Good luck man I hope you get it to work...It was my first time with rooting a phone and I didnt think it was too hard except for the time it took to get it all done
the error msg you are getting is because the files you are trying to push are not in the directory you think they are.

That did it! I am officially rooted and i am making my first back up with clockwork. Thanks so much!
I love the forums on xda! I finally have a rooted thunderbolt. Now to decide what rom to load! Hopefully cm7 comes out for the Thunderbolt soon. Loved that on my incredible.
I find myself in the same boat, terminal replies "no such directory"
q: I know that the OP's directions explicitly say to download Android SCK...revision 3 <-- has this changed to just the platform tools?
the reason I ask, I have all the files dl and in the folders that sidek1ck says to, but CANT complete Step 5. Setup terminal for ADB. I open up terminal, type the letters "cd", drag and drop the "platform tools" folder to no avail..."no such directory exists"
I simply CANNOT find where I am going wrong here
Please guide me, as this guide seems to work seemingly flawless for everyone else

[Q] How can I backup efs folder ?

I know this question is common but I read this thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1068193
and he asked me to learn busybox commands then I read this thread which offers an app to backup this folder
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1138873
My question :Is there anyone who tried this app to backup efs folder on GSII ?
and does this app need rooted phone ?
Thanks
The commands are in the first link you posted, and yes you need a rooted phone.
I know but I need a way without busybox as It's very long
and I wanted to know anyone used the app which I posted on GSII
Just install the cf-root kernel, it has busybox built in.
Never used the app since it isn't needed, typing out a command isn't that trivial.

It's not hard, i just copy/pasted the commands from the first thread, but i know a bit about linux command line commands.
If you typo you could break stuff, that's life.
Or just try the app, maybe read the thread to see if other people have had it work for them.
The only risk free thing you can do with your phone is turn it off and put it back in the box

thanks for your help I really want to know a bit about these commands but I can't know how ? the topic give url to learn all commands not a bit of them
If you can tell me how I will be grateful
but as you know a bit about linux command you need to change anything in the commands or you just copied it ?
Thanks again for trying help me
If you are rooted you can just install galaxy s unlock by helroz and it has an option to just back up for /efs folder before you unlock. just select the backup option and don't do the unlock. No command line stuff required. The efs will be backed up to your phone storage.

Code:
su
busybox tar zcvf /sdcard/efs/efs-backup.tar.gz /efs
The tar command with zcvf takes the input, in this case the efs folder and compresses it into a file in the output location, in this case on the internal sd card, while maintaining unix permissions, important for if you need to restore, this will make a small file.
Code:
su
cat /dev/block/mmcblk0p1 > /sdcard/efs/efs_dev-block-mmcblk0p1.img
Su gains root
Cat means catalog aka copy contents of what you point it at, in this case you are copying the whole partition where the efs folder sits.
In unix terms a folder can sit on any partition and be mounted into any point in the file system, just because a folder sits under "/" which is the root directory doesn't mean it's on the same partition, hard drive, or bit of flash memory.
We dump the whole partition so that if something goes wrong you can flash it back, i know heimdall which is an alternative flashing program can flash back different parts of the rom.
It's best to have both these backups to make sure and to give you different recovery options, flash via a program for the img or copying over the contents in the case of the tar file.
I hope this helps

To restore you can copy the contents of the tar file you made over the EFS folder, or if you ended up with an img flash it via Heimdall
ps dont share your EFS folder backup, as someone could use it to clone your phone

What happens when you try to boot the phone not in Hboot?
Which directions did you follow to try to unroot?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1009423 is this where you got your info from?
Is there an existing PG015img.zip on his sdcard that isn't a stock RUU file?

I'm not sure but it messed up
Sent from my ADR6400L using XDA App
Well my best advice would be to go here http://rootzwiki.com/showthread.php?t=2703 and download both files and follow the directions. If he can't boot the phone up to put the files on his SDcard then he is going to either get an SDcard reader or use someone else phone. The PG015img.zip has to be on the SDCard's root (in no subfolders) and it will flash in HBoot, after you flash the first file completely 100%, let it reboot and battery pull. Then delete the first PG015img.zip and put the second file on the SDcard's root renaming it to PG015img.zip and letting that flash through Hboot (you might have to press volume down and power to flash into Hboot this time) and let that file flash onto the phone. When it is all done, let the phone reboot, and you should be all set to go. Unrooted and back to the way it was out of box. DELETE THE PG015IMG.ZIP WHEN YOU'RE DONE! This whole process should take awhile (especially downloading the big RUU files. Post the results/if you or him need any additional help
If you are using a SDcard reader to put the files on the SDcard from a computer, if the computer does not list the file extention, DO NOT rename the files to "PG015img.zip" because the phone will read it as "PG015img.zip.zip" and won't flash the file. In this case, just make sure it is named "PG015img"

Haha I remember a year ago I was the clueless one, even though I never started threads stating my semi-bricked statuses. I hate to see new people getting flamed for asking questions. Its scary when you deal with your first boot loop, the last thing you want to hear when you ask a question is wise cracks and snide comments from the "Illuminatis" of XDA. We all sucked at one point.

[solved] Totally obliterated /system partition

While attempting to modify my wpa_supplicant in /system/app (not by any process listed here) I somehow managed to completely destroy my /system partition. Not a single file was left alive. My nook did not particularly like this, and now will not boot. I had installed cwm recovery through indirect's app, and cwm won't flash either of Barnes and noble's update zips for some reason. My question is, does anybody have a cwm compatible zip that will restore my /system, or can anyone point me to information on how to make one? Cwm's scripting language seems to be poorly documented, if documented at all. Thank you in advanced for any help! I worked on this for several days before posting.
Sent from my MB860 using xda premium
Have you tried with adb? If not then you haven't try it all.
Get in CWM and plug your device to the machine you used for root or working nook drivers, in CWM mount /system, take the \system folder of the acclaim_update.zip(unzip it) and put it in C:\ntroot ( where adb should be) , cut \system\bin folder and put it outside so it will look like this C:\ntroot\bin, open CMD as administrator and run
>cd C:\ntroot
> adb devices (Check if your device really gets recognized)
> adb push bin /system/bin ( it will push all the files inside bin folder to /system/bin and override them)
Repeat the process with the other folders.
Wish you luck!
PS: if you have CWM backup you could even unpack system.img is easy but you need linux ubuntu is fine so you use your own modified tweaked and working system.

A cwm flashable zip must have a META-INF directory and whatever you're loading with a structure like below:
/META-INF
-/com
--/google
---/android
----/update-binary (file)
----/updater-script (file)
/system (or whatever you're loading)
'updater-script' uses the edify script language to mount, copy, set permissions, etc. Make sure this is in unix formatted text and not dos/win. Some CWM versions dislike dos/win formatted text. May as well make sure it's unix to avoid any issues.
You can just pull 'update-binary' from any flashable zip for the NT.
Once the zip is created you need to sign it, but CWM can be set to ignore that.
Just look at other cwm installable zips for examples.

How to root now?

I used to have a copy of Hasoon's tool, but I reformatted my PC a while ago and no longer have it.
I have a replacement for my son's broken phone, but I can't get it rooted or even install recovery because I get the Main Version is older error. I used to just use the tool, but all links to it have been removed from everywhere I can find. Is there anything I can do to get that back?

It is so simple to root the Rezound, there is no real need for an all in one tool just remember that it will wipe the phone...
1) Download the latest SuperSU.zip from here: http://download.chainfire.eu/supersu and place it in the root of the SD Card
2) Unlock via HTCdev (instructions are all over the place, including at HTCdev.com) and verify booting and operation
3) Extract recovery.img from the latest TWRP package and place in adb directory
4) Boot into Hboot and then start Fastboot
5) Execute "fastboot boot recovery.img"
6) Install/Flash SuperSU.zip from Step #1
7) Reboot
Done... That's it, your rooted and no MainVer issues!
Although, I would keep it stock until it OTA's to the latest version... unless it is already 4.5.605.14, then you have to do it the way I mentioned, the all in one tool won't work due to Hboot being to new.
To add; you may want to install busybox as some root apps need it. Its simple as getting Stericson's BusyBox app and pressing install then rebooting.

3) Extract recovery.img from the latest TWRP package and place in adb directory
Does this mean create an adb folder on root of SD? What else should be in it? Sorry, not a noob just been a while since I rooted and I have to root\s-off a replacement. Thanks!

No... On your computer you should have installed ADB (Android Debug Bridge), this is what gives you the adb.exe and fastboot.exe files to talk to the phone and perform operations from your PC... The directory that contains these files (usually .\adb\platform-tools\) is where you copy this file... These commands are done on your PC and the recovery.img is pushed to the phone.
There are tons of guides on this that are literally step by step, even Youtube videos, no offense, bur if you don't comprehend some of these steps you might want to do some more research before continuing.

No offense taken. Been brushing up and weeding out stuff that is out of date. I did install updated ADB/SDK and go over the guides. All coming back to me now. Think I've got all I need now. Thanks for the reply.

OK, cool. If you need more assistance, fell free to ask.
Just for future reference... avoid the "one click" tools, especially on the Rez, they are mostly out of date. Plus knowing how to do it manually is usually quite useful.
