[Q] AdHoc Mod on HD/HD+ - Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet

Is it possible to do the AdHoc modification on a rooted HD/HD+ as documented in the below thread...
[FIX] adhoc wifi Nook Tablet 0.6.10 tiwlan0
Or will it cause the bootloop/reformat issue?
PokrTom

Unfortunately, the answer is no.
After waiting for an answer from those who had more knowledge then myself I decided to make myself the Guinean pig, Did a Timbuktu backup and made the mod, rebooted and watched my Nook reboot eight times and reformat.
So the short answer, at least for now, is no.
Which sucks because I make a regular use of using my phone for net use, so I hope something comes along soon.

Interim fix?
I tried seeing if there might be an interim fix option and I am hoping there is someone with more expertise that might be able to help me here.
Here is my thought.
When a user wants to use An Ad-Hoc connection they would execute a script like the below...
Code:
mount -o remount,rw /system
chmod 777 /system/bin/wpa_supplicant
cp /system/bin/wpa_supplicant /mnt/sdcard/mods/wpa_supplicant.nookhd
cp /mnt/sdcard/mods/wpa_supplicant.omap4.adhocfix /system/bin/wpa_supplicant
chown root /system/bin/wpa_supplicant
chmod 755 /system/bin/wpa_supplicant
mount -o remount,ro /system
When they were finished they would then have to run a clean up script like this...
Code:
mount -o remount,rw /system
chmod 777 /system/bin/wpa_supplicant
cp /mnt/sdcard/mods/wpa_supplicant.nookhd /system/bin/wpa_supplicant
chown root /system/bin/wpa_supplicant
chmod 755 /system/bin/wpa_supplicant
mount -o remount,ro /system
I used G-Script for the above steps for ease of use.
Obviously, they could not reboot while utilizing Ad-Hoc
Whats needed is the wpa_supplicant file to use for the fix. The one utilized by the Nook Tablet above does not work. The process itself has promise as I have tried it and while I could not get it to work, it did put the wpa_supplicant file to use and it did not reformat my device after I power cycled my device.

[Q] chmod 755 doesn't work in adb shell: wifi broken

Hello, I have a serious problem.
I am using adb for hacking my Android Galaxy 5 smartphone.
Wifi got broken because I can't make file /data/misc/wifi/wpa_supplicant.conf executable.
Issuing chmod 755 have no effect, even after remounting the system as rw with command
Code:
mount -o rw,remount -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system
Consequence: Wifi is broken. I have no idea about how to prevent this behaviour of chmod. Can you help me?
Solved: I was confunding two files: wpa_supplicant and wpa_supplicant.conf. Sorry

I have an unlocked AT&T Atrix (MB860) with GB 2.3.4 and I have exactly the same problem: that the /system folder remains stubbornly read only, no matter what I do. I have tried a lot of the methods I found in the forums and elsewhere, but to no avail. I suspect the only effective solution will be to install a full .sbf image with an already rooted /system folder, but that will be the very last resort. We are not the only ones with this problem; I have seen the messages of a few others. On some phones, the easy methods just do not seem to work.
So, have you, or others, found an acceptable solution other than to install a rooted sbf image?
I'm a Sony user so not sure if this applies too but is USB debugging on?

I don't remember how i rooted the phone but specifing the filesystem might help
try using
/system/bin/mount -t ext3 -o remount,rw /system

[Q] Help! Rooting Sharp Aquos SH-02e

Hello guys, I think this is my first thread ever and I would like to ask someone in the know to help me (and probably a lot others) to obtain root on my device which is the Sharp Aquos Zeta SH-02E.
After reading lots and lots of forums in Japanese (which I barely started learning) I found a couple of commands and files to obtain root on the device. Reading it looks simple. However my expertise on the area is no more than 0.
I replied on a dead post with that code and after waiting almost two months I decided to create this thread.
The code goes like this
adb push sh02eunlock /data/rootkit
adb push acdbwritevalue /data/rootkit
adb push su /data/rootkit
adb shell chmod 777 /data/rootkit/
adb shell chmod 777 /data/rootkit/sh02eunlock
adb shell chmod 777 /data/rootkit/acdbwritevalue
adb shell chmod 777 /data/rootkit/su
adb shell
su
cd /data/rootkit/
./acdbwritevalue 0xc0e74998 0x80200000
./acdbwritevalue 0xc0e749a8 0x01000000
./sh02eunlock 0
cat /data/rootkit/su >cat /data/rootkit/su > /system/xbin/su
mount -o rw,remount /system /system
cat /data/rootkit/su > /system/xbin/su
chown root.root /system/xbin/su
chmod 06755 /system/xbin/su
cat /data/rootkit/sh02eunlock > /system/xbin/soff
chmod 755 /system/xbin/soff
mount -o ro,remount /system /system
chmod 755 /system/xbin/soff
sync;sync;sync
The file is available at the bottom. That's all I got. I really need to delete all this spy/statistics apps from the phone and without root it's impossible.
Thanks in advance.
I don't know if bumping = ban but I will take the risk.
Wow! It's really painful to have so many functions on this phone and not be able to use them because I'm not using a specific company's sim card. Without root, I am not even able to use the FM functions.
Fot the love of cheesecake (or chocolate cake, whatever is your favorite), help me out with this. I won't bother anymore after this reply. Thanks.
Hey guy

Huawei T1-701u /system write protection

Hi guys,
I am using a Huawei T1-701u. I can consistently get root using iovyroot. I have added all the firmwares I can find and created a pull request.
There seems to be some sort of protection on the system partition however. This manifests in two ways. Firstly changes to the partition are magically reverted on reboot. Secondly, I sometimes get an error when mounting /system as rw saying it is readonly.
I have some scripts up on GitHub: /chrisfraser/HuaweiRoot (Sorry you have to search. This is my first post). This eventually works, but it is indeterminate. Sometimes it works first time. Other times it can take 20 tries. Below is the important remount code.
Code:
install_perm() {
cat $1 > $2
chown 0.0 $2
chmod 755 $2
}
echo '[*] Starting root install'
mount -o rw,remount /system
setenforce 0
install_perm $BIN/su /system/xbin/su
install_perm $BIN/su /system/xbin/daemonsu
install_perm $BIN/install-recovery.sh /system/etc/install-recovery.sh
ln -s /system/etc/install-recovery.sh /system/bin/install-recovery.sh
mount -o ro,remount /system
sync
echo '[*] Root install complete, rebooting'
sleep 5
reboot
Thanks in advance
