Does anyone know how to fix a e:/tmp/sideload has perms 40755 issue?
I was flashing a rom and got stuck there.
Any help will be appreciated.
Thank you!
Whenever I used to get that I'd pull battery do a full wipe and try again. Later I flashed my recovery again and the problem has stopped entirely. I flash ROMs as much as 5 times a day (on a good day).

I haven't seen this error come up before on the q&a board, but I very well could have missed it.
The recovery outputs the details around the error in a /tmp/recovery.log file. Once the error occurs, its best to check this file, /tmp/recovery.log for the details around the error. In order to really troubleshot the specific issue, we'd need a copy of the /tmp/recovery.log and the .zip file being loaded.
Sorry that doesn't directly answer the question, but it will lead to the best technical solution possible! Hope that helps provide some light around recovery .zip flashing troubleshooting!
I just got this trying to install sick sense rom. There is no log file in tmp/

whenever the recovery first boots, it will create a log file in /tmp/recovery.log. this file will get wiped on reboot. the best time to pull and examine the /tmp/recovery.log file is right after the recovery throws the installing error.
if, for some odd reason, there is a recovery.log in /tmp, you can also try checking /cache/recovery.log.
if you can post the file contents up we can help troubleshoot!
i know i've seen people post back, after attempting to flash 2-3 times the error would disappear. i also know i've seen people post that re-flashing the custom recovery, or flashing an updated version helps clear the issue.
hope that helps!
I had this problem too after trying to flash Viper-Rom RC2 version 4. The problem did not occur during the first installation, but after realizing I forgot to format the data partition, and going back and formatting everything and trying the install again, I had the perms 40755 issue. It appears that having a rom that tweaks the file system and permissions will cause this issue on occasion. After pulling the battery like triscuit suggested, it worked just fine. Unfortunately I scoured the entire phone for a recovery.log file and it was nowhere to be found. We may not have a technical reasoning for this issue exactly, but triscuit's workaround appears to take care of the problem.
Sorry, I know that this is very basic question, but honestly, I tried searching but couldn't find how to do it!
Basicly, how do I install this battery mod, and how do I know which one to choose?

I recently updated to 2.3.5 and CFRoot'ed my SGS2 yesterday. No other mods (yet)
Go to settings-> about phone and see what version you have (build number) - KE7/KF1/KF3 whatever.
Download the correct version for your build and copy it to your phone (looks like there are 2 files needed unless you have a bulid number that there is a 'flashable zip' for).
If you rooted using a CFroot kernel then you should have the CWM app installed. Go in there, select install APK and select the files you downloaded (probably need to do one then the other).
It should be as easy as that.
If you have the correct build for one of the 'flashable zips', download that and select 'flash update' in CWM instead.
Okay. That CWM thing helped a lot. There is not KI8 (which is my build version) on the list, is it okay to pick up version for other build?
Not sure if it will work with another build, but you can always try (do a backup from CWM first).
use the updated thread which has the apk for Ki8 for the mod. scroll down to the bottom f the first post to find it.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1197150
I just tried this using CWM and the install doesn't work, so I guess you need to use ADB.
edit: tried using adb and it knackered my phone and sent it into a bootloop. Probably because I used the KI3 version on KI4. I guess that means you need the right one!

I downloaded the "XWKI8 framework-res.apk for circle battery mod and CRT effect (/system/framework/)". Tried apk-installing with CWM, but it says "Application not installed". Also tried moving the .apk-file to /system/framework/ (don't know if has any effect) but Root Explorer says that it is write-only directory. I am now again out of ideas, what next?
e: Okay, i found some tips on Google. (http://www.brighthub.com/mobile/google-android/articles/37151.aspx) See the "Using the Android SDK", is that correct way to go? I am not at home at the moment, but I will give it a shot later.
e2: Yay, got it working Had to click the "Mount R/W" click on the top on Root Explorer. I pasted the .apk-file on /system/framework/, and now it's working I think I now learnt how to use these files, thanks all!
I am trying to go back to stock ROM and use the Bares' Init.d Scripts Using Stock Kernel (V3).
I reflashed the stock GB ROM using flashtool, rooted and installed xrecovery 0.3. After that, I installed Bares' INIT-D-RUNNER-TWEAKS-V3.zip using xrecovery and rebooted. When ever I try to use wifi I get "Error" just below the toggle to turn it on and i does not work.
It seems like someone else had this problem, but Bares says tha wifi errors shouldn't happen, see:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2174564&highlight=wifi
I tried reinstalling three times (install original ROM and after that apply the Init.d scripts) in an unlocked bootloader X10. I then relocked the boot loader and tried again and I still get wifi problems.
Anyone else having problems like this? Is there a work around?
Obs: I could not post in the original threas as I am a newbie here and I am not allowed to post in the development section.

Hi bro, we need to edit install-recovery.sh script inside zip to include wifi module, please refer to HERE.
So, please use this zip, just flash it through Xrecovery, then it should be fine.
FYI

It didn't work out

First, thanks Bares for ansewring fast. But I am sorry to say that I did not succeed. First, I tried to simply add the line
insmod /system/lib/modules/wifi.ko
in the middle of install-recovery.sh and it didn't work out. I thought the reason was that I did not add the wiki.ko file to /system/lib/modules in the generated zip and started to look for it. I found the following the stock wifi modules from here. I got the modules from the x10_gb_stock_wifi_modules.zip file and added them to my tweaked INIT.D zip but it didn't work out. Anything that I am missing?

Hmmm..., this problem could be happened if the rom wasn't settled properly too.
So, please try these steps (exactly) :
- Revert back to stock and setup the phone.
- Root it with the latest Flashtool and choose SuperSU !!!
- Install Xrecovery and let the rom settled first !!!
- Check an everything including wifi !!!.
- If its all working good then flash my script (see the thread for the latest one) through xrecovery and dont get rush on the first 2~3 reboot.
- And check the result.

It still does not work

I tried as you suggested and it didn't work. I tried both with your V4 scripts and with my modified version to include the "insmod /system/lib/modules/wiki.ko". Both did not work after some time to settle the original ROM (with 3 reboots) and some time to settle the modified ROM (3 more reboots).
I have also tried your new STOCK-GB-MOD-RELOAD.zip update file, but it didn't work either.
One thing I noticed is that your original update files delete the wifi.ko module from the /system/lib/modules directory that exists in the stock ROM. I even copied wifi.ko to my computer and cried an small zip that can be flashed by xrecovery to restore that file, but it is not enough to get it working. I tried to read your INIT-D-RUNNER-TWEAKS-V4 to see what it was doing but I did not understand how it changes wifi (I could not even find out where wiki.ko wasw being deleted).
It is a really shame, as your new STOCK-GB-MOD-RELOAD.zip looks exactly as what I wanted.
Anything else I should try?

Hi bro,
The last options is by remove these 2 lines below from instal-recovery.sh script inside zip provided (STOCK-GB-MOD-RELOAD.zip) :
HTML:
#init.d runner
busybox run-parts /system/etc/init.d/
BUT, ... the problem is : you will lost init.d runner for Stock Kernel, and it cause all tweaks will not run for sure.
The result is the rom will feel a bit slower than it should be.
Note : To be honest, i'm little bit confusing here, because everything should be fine.
OR : Use custom kernel for Locked Bootloader ( Doomkernel V6 for Locked Bootloader).
OR :
Just simply unlock the bootloader (it's really safe, but you have to follow the proper procedure on this), the simply procedure is :
- Revert back to Stock Rom using PC Companion or SEUS or Flashtool (Download the latest Flashtool Version (see the thread about how to unlock for more detail info, read it carefully!!!)., and then unlock your bootloader using this Flashtool.
Note :
Don't assume if got doubt about this.
- Flash custom kernel using above Flashtool (DoomKernel V6 integrated Bootmanager V2 Auto Rooted by Championswimmer is my recommendation) , because it's using Original Sony's boot splash logo.
- Flash above zip (STOCK-GB-MOD-RELOAD.zip) through Xrecovery.
- Finally you have to flash wifi modul for above kernel (find it on DoomLord's Thread).
Hope this help

Intalling another kernel does not work...
Hi,
I had a version with a prestine Stock + STOCK-GB-MOD-RELOAD.zip[/B] through Xrecovery. And I installed championswimmer kernel on top of it (thinking it would restore wi-fi) and it didn't work. That is realluy strange. I am starting to fear that the problem is with my X10 (it has some odd behaviors, like it always become slow when using a Ferakernel).
I'll try your first suggestion (turn off init.d scripts) and let you know how it went here.
Anyhow, great thanks!
Improvement

I tried to turn off init.d scripts and it didn't work!
It was getting into my nerves. So I decided to look inside your INIT-D-RUNNER-TWEAKS-V4.zip file to see if something was weird to me. I am an old Linux desktop user and it looked very strange a line in the update-script script inside META-INF/com/google/android:
delete_recursive SYSTEM:etc/init.d
This woudl delete the whole /etc/init.d directory, somthing that looks very dangerous from a desktop user. So I just commented it and created a new zip file (allowing the copy of your custom init.d scripts, just avoid the full deletion before hand). I was sure it would not work, but it did... Wifi is working after I install this new zip.
I plan now to take a close look at exactly what files are being deleted to find out what should remain in order to keep wifi working in my phone. I'll let you know when I get it right. Now I have to leave as real life is calling me!
I found a solution
I found the problem an the solution.
Just after installing the stock rom, rooting, and installing xrecovery, there is a single file in /system/etc/init.d. It is called 00modules (see attachment). It looks like it create symlinks from the currect kernel modules to /system/lib/modules. This file is essential to get wifi working in my X10.
Since Bare's mods, like STOCK-GB-MOD-RELOAD.zip, delete all the files in there I end up without wifi after installing them.
The solution is simple. Just add this file to STOCK-GB-MOD-RELOAD.zip in "system/etc/init.d". It will them be copied back after being erased. Wifi works and I get Bare's mod fully functional.
Thanks Bares fo your mod!

I create this line below :
delete_recursive SYSTEM:etc/init.d
Just to make sure no additional tweaks on init.d (and this is for users that don't want to fresh install the rom) , so the rom will 100% run with my files, just is't.
BTW, thanks a lot for the finding bro :good:. I have update my script to the FINAL one (see my thread), and it seem will be no more update after this one.

I appologize if this is the wrong forum, please move the thread if it is.
I have a quick question for whoever can help. I have been working on a new ROM and have everything perfect now including Aroma installer. The only issue that I am having now though is that once installed, It doesnt seem to have working root. It installed supersu apk and it looks like all the files are in the correct places however when I start supersu it gives the "Supersu binary is not installed and cannot install it, this is a problem". Nothing else obviously has root either.
I would appreciate if someone can point me in the right direction as to what may be causing this. Thanks in advance!

I know this supersu below ships with the system binary, You may need to extract, or download su and install it to /system/xbin before installing supersu

Thanks but I just double checked and the su binary is in system/xbin. I have also tried re-coppying a fresh su there in the outcome is still the same.
Pretty sure it makes a difference on what phone you are building for, because sometimes there can be something in the kernel preventing it too. And what kind of rom are you making? CM? Stock based (Touchwiz, etc)? Other?

When i select choose form sdcard1 from main recovery menu, i get a wiping cache messages, and then it reverts back to the main screen, same when selecting internal storage.
When using TWRP from a different fasbooted kernel (AndroPlus Kernel for Stock FW / ROM), i get status 7.

delect first sentence in update script leads to success of flashing this rom,it boots up,with animation,but when screen shows starting applications then it reboots,cannot enter the system.
