is there a way to remove icons from the start menu? i have a custom rom (modaco and there are a few apps i cant remove i was wondering if i can just remove ther icon? thanks!
I presume you are trying to remove apps that are installed on the system partition. (ie. most of the standard HTC apps).
If so, you can do so from your PC, but follow these instructions in case you remove something you shouldn't (!)
1. Take a Nandroid Backup before starting
2. Connect phone to your PC and set up ADB from the SDK if not already done.
3. Run command
Code:
adb remount
4. Type
Code:
adb shell
5. Type
Code:
su
6. Type
Code:
cd /system/app
7. Type
Code:
ls
8. Now have a look through the list for what you want to remove. Be aware that low-level things like the dialer are listed here, so be careful
9. When you find the app you want to uninstall, type the commands
Code:
exit
adb pull com.name.of.apk.file.apk C:\HTCHeroBackupApps
to copy the apk file to your PC in case you want to put it back
10. Then type
Code:
adb shell
cd /system/app
rm com.name.of.apk.file.apk
11. Application removed. Repeat for other apps you want rid of. Reboot phone when done.
(11.) If you need to restore an app in future for any reason, use the following command:
Code:
adb remount
adb push C:\HTCHeroBackupApps\com.name.of.apk.file.apk /system/app
and reboot the phone.
HTH, and don't go deleting things if you don't know what they are
I have been using this guide on modmymobile.com:
7. Open the ROOT folder you extracted on your Desktop.
8. Double click on #1-Run this to start ROOT.
This will upload the files needed onto the phone. It might take a few minutes, on the video it was quick as I already had these files in the SDCard of my phone. Once it gets to the point that it says Adb Shell and has a $ with a blinking underscore (_) then we are ready to go to the phone.
9. Open up ConnectBot on the phone that you previously downloaded.
10. Click on where it says SSH and change it to Local. Type any name and press enter. Once you get the black screen with the $ you can type the following lines:
Code:
cd /data/local/tmp
./rageagainstthecage-arm5.bin
11. It will show a message, just wait till it shows
FORKED **** Childs.
**** is a number. Once that happens you can close down Connectbot.
12. Re-Open ConnectBot. If successful you should see a # meaning you have temporary root already.
13. Now type the following commands:
Code:
/data/local/tmp/install-root.sh
14. Nothing should happen, except getting another # sign, meaning that the script has finished.
15. Now go back to your computer and close down the command prompt window.
16. Click on the file called: #2-Run this to start RECOVERY
17. Wait a few seconds and then you will get the $ _
Type:
Code:
su
I can complete steps up to #17 type the code "su"
this is what I get back:
bionic/linker/linker.c:1581:ERROR: 2818 could not load "libbindr.so"
bionic/linker/linker.C:1641:ERROR: failed to link su
bionic/linker/linker.C:1734:ERROR: CANNOT LINK EXECUTABLE 'su"
$
What am I doing wrong or any suggestions on how I can easily root this phone will be appreciated.
Thanks!
I just got a cute chinese phone, called Bluebo B3000.
(The manufacturer is www bluebo net)
the device has MTK6575
Android 4.0.4, Kernel 3.0.13
no GPS,
RAM: 256MB
ROM: 512MB
Resolution: 320 x 480 Pixels
SIM slots: 2
SD card
quadband GSM 850/900/1800/1900MHz
I only need root.
Which flash tool is good for this device?
There are russian forums discussing this device, e.g..forum china-iphone ru , viewtopic.php?f=46&t=22437
but I dont understand what they say.
Thanks!
yay
I posted how to root this phone in the Russian Forum, (in Russian and English), here are the steps to follow:
I have the same phone (BlueBo B3000 -MTK6575)
English:
We have to have our mobile perfectly recognized by the computer as "ADB Device", with the controller properly installed, and Debug Mode Enable (connected to the PC with the USB cable).
Download (htt p://ww w.4shar ed.com/zip/fyH9xy DF/Roo tTianji.ht m l) (remove spaces), you need to work in command mode with ADB.
Unzip in "C :/" folder, it will be now "C :/ RootTianji /".
Open a command window (cmd.exe). Then we put (without the quotes) cd.. "until we get "C:>" then put "cd RootTianji" and then just put "adb".
Best explained
1 -. cmd.exe
2 -. cd ..
3 -. cd .. (again)
4 -. Stop when you get "C:>" prompt
5 -. RootTianji cd
6 -. adb
Now we have to follow these steps to the letter.
Type and hit enter: adb push su /data/local/tmp/su
Type and hit enter: adb push Superuser.apk /data/local/tmp/Superuser.apk
Type and hit enter: adb restore fakebackup.ab (Do not do anything on the phone yet)
Type and hit enter: adb shell "while ! ln -s /data/local.prop /data/data/com.android.settings/a/file99; do :; done" (Now in the command window appear few rows error and that means the exploit is working and now is when you press on the phone and within seconds Restore on mobile as a message that the restoration is completed. If a password is asked do not to write anything, just continue)
Type and hit enter: adb reboot (The phone now reboots itself. Do not do anything until it completely reboot. Might take a little and flashes).
Type and hit enter: adb shell
Now the phone is in root mode and the # prompt appears.
Type and hit enter: mount -o remount,rw -t ext4 /dev/block/mmcblk0p1 /system
Type and hit enter: cat /data/local/tmp/su > /system/bin/su
Type and hit enter: chmod 06755 /system/bin/su
Type and hit enter: ln -s /system/bin/su /system/xbin/su
Type and hit enter: cat /data/local/tmp/Superuser.apk > /system/app/Superuser.apk
Type and hit enter: chmod 0644 /system/app/Superuser.apk
Type and hit enter: rm /data/local.prop
Type and hit enter: exit
Type and hit enter: adb shell "sync; sync; sync;"
Type and hit enter: adb reboot
Your mobile is now root.
If you could try to do all steps from the beginning and from step 9 and 10 run these commands: chown 0.0 / system / bin / su
If the process gets "stuck" in the row of errors (never ends), close and disconnect everything and connect the phone again seeing that everything necessary is in good condition (drivers, cables, files), then proceed to retry processes from the beginnin. (cmd.exe).
If you dont understand something just ask.
This guide was originally made for Tinji Mobile N9000 i9220, but when I realized it was the same processor as mine (B3000 - MT6575), I decided to try it, and for my surprise, it worked!
Please be careful and use this information at your own risk
Sorry if I wrote something bad or strange. Bye
Thanks!! I will try.
Hooray! I've got root!
thanks!
unlucky for me I have messed some things around and mis-spelled the "ln -s" command,
but eventually I managed to install all the drivers required, and to load a ROM with root.
Thanks a lot!
BlueBo unlock

i think the problem might be your SIM card, this mobile come as unlocked as default.

Device Not Recognized
When I connect my Bluebo B3000 to the computer even with USB debugging on it doesn't recognize it. I have everything installed to root this phone, and I just need to figure out how to fix this. I'm using Windows 7 x64.
Is there any drivers for this phone? I can't find any. It might be in Chinese or Russian, I don't know. I also tried to find drivers for Tinji Mobile N9000 i9220 since gozalox says that it has the same processor as this one, but the search results yielded with roms; they don't look legitimate so I don't want to bother.
Thank you for reading.
EDIT:
After installing MTK6575 device I finally was able to get in my phone, but I still get stuck at the "while" part
I followed everything as instructed, and yes I checked if the spelling was correct by pasting the instructions in the notepad.
After entering the adb shell "while ! ln -s /data/local.prop /data/data/com.android.settings/a/file99; do :; done" I get link failed File exists. I did click restore my data quickly and kept waiting. I did see the com.android.settings under the page in the phone. I don't understand the password request part since the phone asks me for the encryption password on the page in which I'm sure I don't have. I was stuck on the data restore until the streams of "link failed File exists" disappeared so I proceeded to reboot, but when I type adb shell it was still $ I've kept trying to do this over and over again from step 1 (not closing the cmd prompt though, I wouldn't want to type them over and over) but it still doesn't work. My last resort would be typing everything from scratch and hope for the best.
Please help. Thank you!
EDIT 2:
I finally rooted my phone. For those people who need help, go here ht tp://fo rum. china-iphon e.ru/viewt opic.p hp?f=31&t =17863 (remove spaces) and click MTK Droid Root & Tools v2.3.7 The program is in English, so no worries about that. I did it twice for mine and it worked~ Install the Android Terminal app to check if you're rooted. Just type su in a window and if it has the hash sign "#" then you're rooted. Good luck!
Ignore, as I'm still looking for the delete button. Noob, noob, noob...
Messed it Up with mtkdroid Tools
I Have used the Mtk droid Tool, clicked on root button, and confirmed on the onscreen button.
after this the program continues to recognize my device but now the "ROOT" button disapears, and above was write "root shell quemu mode".
I think the phone was rooted, but I installed some root required apks and they said that i have not the root permisions, including the Terminal emulator, this said "permission denied" when prompt "su" command.
After I requested a normal reboot via the MtkdroidTools and the device dont boot, it stays freezed at Android logo.
I tried the Recovery mode, but dont worked too...
I am writing a cmd script for my fire tv and am looking to see if there is a way for me to connect with the following
Code:
adb connect 192.168.1.5:5555
(the above command works)
but loop it if the device fails to connect, or wait/ retry until connect is successful... any help? sorry if explanation is not good
what my end goal is is to have a script running in the background that can start kodi when my fire tv stick starts
what I have that i can manually insert and it works to show my progress thus far, im a noob with this stuff BTW
Code:
adb kill-server
adb start-server
adb connect 192.168.1.5:5555
adb shell am force-stop org.xbmc.kodi
adb shell monkey -p org.xbmc.kodi 1
I could also use any tips on a way to check if kodi is running / or fireTV is on and pause / loop the code, any advice?
Hey,
whenever I issue a reboot command via adb to a device that is connected via network / tcp, adb freezes (I guess because it waits for the response to the command that never arrives because the device is offline). Regardless if I use "adb reboot" or "adb shell reboot" ... I tried delaying the reboot with sleep and spawning it separately with & but nothing worked...
Code:
adb shell "sleep 5 &"
adb shell "(sleep 5) &"
adb shell "(sleep 5 &)"
It always waits until execution finished...
Any ideas?
If you invoke the SLEEP command it gets processed - even if forced to get processed in background.
FYI: Running a command in background simply means a user-interaction isn't possible.

Yeah, but when I execute "sleep 5" within the shell, I cannot do anything until sleep finished. When I execute "sleep 5 &" within the sell, I can immediately enter the next command.
Same is NOT true with adb shell. Both "adb shell sleep 5" and "adb shell sleep 5 &" wait until sleep finish.
Of course I want "sleep" to execute in background. I want to execute "sleep 5 && reboot &" so adb has time to read the response and I can execute "adb disconnect" on the host before the device reboots.
Each
Code:
adb [-d|-e|-s <serialNumber>] shell "<shell_command>"
invokes a separate ( new ) terminal session and waits for this session has finished
To get around this open a remote shell, means invoke a terminal session only once and execute the commands desired
Code:
adb [-d|-e|-s <serialNumber>] shell
<shell_command>
exit
I'm sorry but I don't understand what u mean by that :/
I want to run this on my host:
Code:
adb command_that_will_reboot_connected_device_in_5_sec_without_blocking
adb disconnect
...
Any solutions for that?
If BusyBox is installed on device's Android, and if BusyBox has commands crond & crontab & reboot implemented, then you can create on Android a scheduled task to reboot Android by means of crontab
Example ( untested ) what re-boots Android in 1 minute:
Code:
adb shell
mkdir -p '/data/local/tmp/cron'
echo */1 * * * * reboot > /data/local/tmp/cron/crontab
busybox crond -c /data/local/tmp/cron
busybox crontab -c '/data/local/tmp/cron/' '/data/local/tmp/cron/crontab'
exit
Well, that sounds pretty overkill...
Found a solution... I moved the problem to the host by spawning the "hanging" adb process seperately (using windows in this case):
Code:
start adb reboot
timeout /t 3
adb disconnect
...
