First off I'm not a Dev just a guy with a Mac and to much time on his hands. So use with caution. Secondly I'm not really positive on the exact steps take because of multiple mistakes and attempts. So this is how I think it all went down.
1) Unistall Lagfix
2) Download http://dl.dropbox.com/u/458252/Fasci...Mfascinate.zip disregard the read me its missing steps i'll try to hit here.
3) drop the zimage file on the sdcard.
4) put the redbend_ua in the tools folder of the sdk.
5) open terminal
$ cd ..
$ cd ..
$ cd and*
$ cd tools
$ ./adb push redbend_ua /data/local
$ ./adb shell
$ cd /data/local/tmp
$ chmod 0755 rage.bin
$ ./rage.bin
Wait for rage.bin to complete. When it's finished you should be back in the tools folder again as shown below.
your computer name: tools your user name$ ./adb shell
# mount -t rfs -o remount,rw /dev/block/stl9 /system
# cd /data/local
# chmod 755 redbend_ua
# ./redbend_ua restore /sdcard/zImage /dev/block/bml7
lots of stuff and your phone restarts…
quit terminal (don't know if its necessary)
recopy zimage to sdcard. yes overwrite.
open terminal (I did the whole rage.bin thing a couple times through this whole fiasco, im not sure if its nessecary, just get remounted..)
# cd ..
# cd ..
# cd and*
# cd tools
#./adb shell
# mount -t rfs -o remount,rw /dev/block/stl9 /system
# cd /data/local
# chmod 755 redbend_ua
# ./redbend_ua restore /sdcard/zImage /dev/block/bml8
more stuff phone restarts again.
market download rom manager. cwrecovery flash for fascinate, back up current rom and you're good.
If guys are having trouble I'll try and answer questions, but this was trial and error for me. if I missed something and someone figures it out let me know so I can update the tutorial.
I've found a pretty simple way to do it as well, without so much stuff and less download even. This is if you have adb/android tools installed with a bash profile and you're in the folder with redbend and zimage.
1. Install ROM Manager and "flash" CWM. Mount your sdcard
2. adb push redbend_ua /data/local
3. adb push zImage /data/local
4. adb shell
5. su
6. chmod -R 755 /data/local
7. cd /data/local
8. ./redbend_ua restore ./zImage /dev/block/bml7
Phone reboots, remount sdcard to comp
1. adb shell
2. su
3. cd /data/local
4. ./redbend_ua restore ./zImage /dev/block/bml8
I actually had to use a bit of both of your posts to get mine working. These are the steps I followed:
Copy zImage to the root folder of your SD Card
Open Terminal
$ cd (path to android sdk)/tools
$ ./adb push (path to redband_ua)/redbend_ua /data/local
$ ./adb shell
$ cd /data/local/tmp
$ chmod 0755 rage.bin
$ ./rage.bin
(username)$ ./adb shell
# mount -t rfs -o remount,rw /dev/block/stl9 /system
# cd /data/local
# chmod 755 redbend_ua
# ./redbend_ua restore /sdcard/zImage /dev/block/bml7
--Phone Reboots--
$ ./adb shell
$ su
# cd /data/local
# ./redbend_ua restore /sdcard/zImage /dev/block/bml8
Thank you kindly for all your efforts peeps. Not sure it's quite dummy-proof enough for my implementation yet but I'm glad this ball is rolling.
Haven't had a Windows machine in a while, tried running a virtual machine but wouldn't recognize my phone after I installed the Samsung drivers. BootCamp...meh...
I'm pretty sure there's an easier way. It's hard to find the exact steps on a phone that's already hacked with cwrecovery.
I'm pretty sure I could compile some solid instructions based off of what everyone posted, but I'd rather go through the process myself before I write something up for others to use. The only thing stopping me is the question of having Clockwork installed and receiving an OTA from Verizon? I'm also seeing that going back to stock requires Odin which requires a PC, which is not a huge deal, but it just seems like it'll be a pain in the ass to get back to stock if I need to - especially since I'm not doing anything drastic to my phone that'll require a backup.
Clockwork is recovery. It doesn't affect anything ota. And you wont have to use odin for messing up cwm unless you're a complete idiot.

I understand what Clockwork is used for. I just don't understand what exactly is happening when you flash bml7 and bml9 (or whatever mount points you flash). I'm curious as to whether flashing these have any effect on future updates in any way.

I just want to make a nandroid before loading a new ROM lol
do:
cd /data/local
^It was late and didn't even think to do a search for the file lol. My windows VM wasn't recognizing my Fascinate, Captivate or my friends' Vibrant anymore. I had to boot to my Bootcamp partition to finally get it recognized and just used the Odin method.
Thanks though
So you could at least throw a thank you to me for getting the files together, instead of just linking to my files.

CW issues
I select "Backup current ROM" and my phone immediate boots into recovery and if I try and apply the update.zip, it fails.
Any ideas??
I was really good at the Eris, but this one is mocking me
You've got to push rage.bin to your phone before you can run it. Like this (disregard unixisms, don't have a mac but its relevant):
[email protected]:~# ls
rage.bin Superuser.apk
[email protected]:~# adb push rage.bin /data/local/tmp
18 KB/s (5392 bytes in 0.277s)
[email protected]:~#
Now rage.bin is on your phone's internal memory, proceed with the chmod and execute steps.
Yeah, I have all that running and I have superuser and I even got su to not give me access denied.
The problem for me is when it tries to apply the zip in recovery, it fails.

hi,
I get to:
# mount -t rfs -o remount,rw /dev/block/st19 /system
and it just sits there. i've waited 10 minutes. is it supposed to take longer? sorry noob here.
Finally installed Clockworkmod - I know... welcome to last year
The instructions in the sticky say to follow the instructions in the readme.txt file in the .zip - as stated by the OP, the instructions in here are missing a few key things that would keep people from worrying during installation. The [Mac] information in the sticky should be updated with instructions from this post.
All the instructions provided helped with my installation, but I ran into an issue I didn't see posted anywhere.
Here are the steps I used:
Code:
[mac] $ cd <sdk_path>
[mac] $ ./adb push <zip_path>/redbend_ua /data/local/
[mac] $ ./adb push <zip_path>/zImage /sdcard/
[mac] $ ./adb shell
[adb] $ su
[adb] # cd /data/local
[adb] # chmod 755 redbend_ua
[adb] # ./redbend_ua restore /sdcard/zImage /dev/block/bml7
*** At this point, the phone screen goes black and says "System updated. Rebooting.." and the phone reboots.
What went different for me after this point is I had to disconnect the phone from the USB port to get it to be recognized by the SDK/adb. When I did get it to recognize, once I got into the shell adb would freeze and I couldn't type the last command. I rebooted the phone, tried different USB ports, restarted the SDK... same... adb would just freeze up and I couldn't type anything. When I run ./adb devices, it seems the phone disconnects itself after a while which is very strange.
From that point I just used the Terminal Emulator app to type the last few commands directly from the phone:
Code:
[term] $ su
[term] # cd /data/local
[term] # ./redbend_ua restore /sdcard/zImage /dev/block/bml8
Then the phone reboots again like it did the first time.
After this last command it seems my phone can keep its adb connection to the SDK again, which is good.
Thanks to everyone who put the instructions together. I didn't really have a need for Clockworkmod up to this point, but seeing as how the updates are taking forever to come from Samsung/Verizon I'd rather get some of these annoying bugs fixed myself instead of waiting until 2012 for a fix.
I have tried all the methods above and can't get this to work. After ./rage.bin completes it never returns to tools it was just a $ or #. Now after ./adb shell, in the first part, I get #, at one point I was getting $. I am a little confused and have attempted way to may times. Should I just find a PC or can someone help? I have attempted all methods in this forum. Yes I am rooted and no I have never put lagfix on my phone.
used deeznotes method and worked like a charm. Thanks.
Sorry for opening a new thread on this, but as new users can't post - for a good reason, I am sure - in the dev's section, I, being a new user, can't as well...
I have the same problem as described by haggardh and arko.amit, which is the nt not showing up when running the NookandZergy.bat after following all the steps mentioned, hopefully, properly. Running the NookandZergy.bat as admin gives an error message stating the command "adb" is unknown.
Just hoping to emphasise that this issue might be statistically significant (and worth looking into)...other than that this is just another me-too-post. Sorry once more.

I experienced some of the same problems you and haggard wrote about and even some other users that were experiencing no serial number showing up when running the Nookandzergy.bat. After reading and a little experimentation of my own I got mine rooted last night. My test machine was Windows XP SP3 I am skipping the tgps.apk part on the Nook because I ran into no problems with it. It did goes as the instructions said. With that said make sure you put all the checks in the right place in the debug menu.
First of all if you can't run adb then you have the adb.exe in the wrong folder or you are trying to execute with the wrong path. Should be in the C:\ntroot directory. Open a command line up (Start > RUN >CMD)
You will need to change to directory c:\ntroot
Once your cmd prompt reads C:\ntroot you should be able to run adb. You really shouldn't have to unless you are running into a problem with the serial number not showing up after running zerg. If that is the case you can always run "adb devices" that will start the adb daemon and then run the command and tell you rather or not your computer is seeing the nook. If you get no devices connected then you are back to the driver issue.
My solution for the driver issue I got the same USB Mass Storage Device and then would try and change the driver to the Android one, but kept getting the above problem when trying to run zerg.
So I uninstalled the driver (Android and USB Mass Storage) and unplugged the Nook.
Then in Windows Explorer went to the usbdrivers folder and right-clicked on the file android_winusb.inf and clicked "install"
I then plugged the nook back in and the driver showed correctly in Device Manager as an Android device.
I then ran zergy again and it all worked an the ID showed up correctly.
I hope this helps.

Thanks for the suggestions. The OS is Win 7 64 if that matters.
I have de- and reinstalled the usb-driver several times in the device-manager (installing by "install..." from explorer's context menu doesn't work for this file and this OS) - the device just doesn't show up in command line, regardless whether I use the adb devices command or run the nookandzergy.bat.
Sounds definitely to be the driver. I read the link posted by AugustusBot helpful, but not sure it would work for sure. I had to uninstall and reinstall until finally I ran the INF like you mentioned that didn't work for you.
Does the device show up with an exclamation or as a USB mass storage device?
With no specific driver installed (intentionally, that is), the device is shown as both usb mass storage device and "nook tablet" with the yellow exclamation mark within the device manager.
I also used that usb deview tool mentioned in the other thread to wipe all usb devices. This doesn't do a permanent uninstall - as deleting the driver would. Unplugging a device and plugging it in again and it would just show up as it did before... Either way, the tool doesn't help here.
Have you right clicked on Nook tablet within device manager clicked properties > driver > update driver software > update driver > browse my computer for driver software > Let me pick from a list of device drivers > Have Disk > Browse > C:\ntroot\usbdrivers\android_winusb.inf
I just tried that process on a Windows 7 64bit and got an error saying the device driver is not compatible with a 64 bit OS. If you get the same error you may have to find the 64 bit version of that device driver or if you are familiar with working with XP classic within Windows 7 you may have better luck using it through that.
Try right clicking on the mass storage device and select to install manually then install from a specific location, have disk, then select the inf file for the driver... might work.

I did install the driver both ways using the bat-file and manually through device manager, pointing to the folder that contains the inf-file. Actually, you can't point to a file but only to folders (saying "you", I mean "me", of course; is that different on your machine?)
(Why do I get a prevent-spam-wait-5-mins-message editing my own post? Weird.)
I have successfully updated the drivers under Device Manager and it changed from nook device with exclamation mark to android composite interface and and it still does not show up when running the nookandzrgy.bat file. I tried the methods listed here to no avail. Any new info out there?

Download the settings file listed in the post via your tablet, install using the package installer, enable debugging (checking both debugging options) run the script to root.
Sent from my HTC Glacier using xda premium
I had no end of difficulties with the root process.
Running Windows 7 32 bit.
Procedure to root instructions neglect to emphasise the NEED to DROP the Nook Tablet into debug mode first before connecting it to the PC. I didn't do this, and so Window drivers were installed automatically on first connect, and this started a long trip trying to replace the drivers to no avail. Eventually managed to removed the drivers from all USB using the tools from another thread.
After that, I managed to install the USB drivers and have the Nook show up as an Android phone.
Unticked/ticked all debug mode a second time to ensure they are locked in place.
Run the Zergy.bat and get the numbers for ID of the tablet, and the thing starts to proceeds and then stops with an error stating that it is not a Tablet device... 8(
Gave up and re run the entire procedure on a Windows XP laptop (fresh install) and everything went through without a hitch. I now have a rooted Nook Tablet.
I suspect something in Windows 7 is interferring with the second script.
Key point:
Put Tablet in debug mode first.
Untick and retick the USB connection on Tablet before each attempt to run Zergy script.
Another thing I did, but was unsure if it fixed anything was manually changed the runmefirst.bat script to look like this:
@echo off
echo Please unplug your nook device before continuing!
pause

My reasoning was prior to me changing the path from %USERPROFILE to C:\ntroot I was receiving an error in profile path due to Windows XP having the profile set to C:\documents and settings\kerry63\... and I was getting some error about not being able to parse the space in "documents and settings".
I would not imagine this needing to be changed on Windows 7 due to the fact that the %USERPROFILE should be C:\users\kerry63 hence no spaces. All the runmefirst.bat script does is place the .android folder with a .ini file that gives the vendor ID to the nookandzergy.bat script.
This is nothing new just trying to make sure all the bases are covered since people do run different Windows OS. I take no credit for the script just trying to give advice and procedures that helped me get mine working. I did have all the problems that everyone else spoke about.
I had to triple check the three changes made in the debug mode by tgps.apk on the NOOK.
Changed the script and then ran it.
Installed drivers and uninstalled them until I got the NOOK! and installed the .inf prior to the plugging in of the NOOK.
The above scripts are verbatim of what I used you can use them by just pasting them separately into notepad and naming them accordingly.
Hope this helps.

Make sure the Tablets is in debug mode and automount is unticked. Even if it is set correctly, untick and retick the settings BEFORE each attempt to run the Zergy script.
In my case, I manage to get it ot recognise the tablet, but the scripot aborted with an error stating that it is not a tablet device... 8(
Running the same procedure again on another laptop running xp worked.

Another thing I did, but was unsure if it fixed anything was manually changed the runmefirst.bat script to look like this:

If I got that right, you changed the paths replacing %userprofile% with c:\ntroot. Sorry for asking, as I should be able to find out myself, but... are there more changes made? (The runmefirst.bat you used is not the same (anymore) as in the root-thread by indirect.)
However, I replaced %userprofile% with c:\ntroot in both scripts. The outcome was an empty .android folder being created in c:\ntroot by the runmefirst.bat - this didn't happen before. Other than that still no device listed by adb.
I gave it one more try and used the runmefirst.bat from the usbdrivers.zip - after that the nook was listed and more or less rootable (more: it kind of worked; less: the root script's command line just closed at some point within the debloating leaving the device in Idontknowwhat state... but it still seems to work)
However, as there are two files named runmefirst in the whole package, people should be told which runmefirst.bat to actually run first (or at all).
Thanks for all the advice! It did help.
Solved
I tried several computers and could not get the nook to install with the unknown devise question mark. I finally figured it out. I had an SD card already installed in the Nook. It kept getting registered as a mass storage device. I removed the SD card and started with a fresh install of XP. Everything worked perfect.
this orked for me that way... hope this help you guys.

Try right clicking on the mass storage device and select to install manually then install from a specific location, have disk, then select the inf file for the driver... might work.

The reason you are getting the "error: closed" message is because the version of System Recovery installed on your tablet inhibits ADB from accessing the tablet's file system. You are not going to be able to pull or push the build.prop file.
Ok I can't use ADb so how can I replace faulty build.prop file or make recovery? Any ZIP file that I can put on SD card?

You can try copying an OTA update file to an SD card and using System Recovery to install it, but I do not believe doing that will work. I believe you have bricked your tablet to the point where you have to send your tablet to Sony for repair.

Can you teach me how to copy/restore (pull and or push) the original build.prop in my cell (now bricked) i had the original file (buil.prop) inside it... i am learning about adb commands. thanksss. The main problem I have: An issue with ADB VCOM drivers (in windows) (tried in a couple of PCS, the device manager "see" the vcom preloader only a little moment (when connect the cell with usb cable) and then dissapear... then with command adb devices: no devices found... can you help me?

The reason ADB is reporting no devices are found may be because (1) your device is bricked, which probably means you are not going to be able to pull/push files from/to your device, (2) you do not have ADB drivers for your device properly installed on your PC, and/or (3) you do not have USB debugging enabled in your tablet's Developer options settings.
It's good you are learning how to use ADB and there are plenty of ADB tutorials to be found via Google, etc.; e.g., HERE.
Here is what you specifically ask for.
Pulling the build.prop file from your tablet to your PC is easy, just use these commands.
Code:
adb wait-for-device
adb pull /system/build.prop
adb kill-server
Pushing the build.prop file from your PC to your tablet is more complicated.
(1) Your tablet must have root access. If it doesn't, attempts at pushing the file to your tablet's /system directory will fail.
(2) Along with having root access, you must have SuperSU or Superuser, and Busybox installed on the tablet.
(3) You have to temporarily set your tablet's /system directory's properties from RO to RW, which must be done quickly because your tablet's OS monitors the /system directory's properties and will reboot the tablet if it detects the directory's properties have been changed from RO.
(4) To issue the ADB commands as quickly as possible, the commands must be put into a DOS batch command script file. For example, create and run a batch file named doit.bat containing the following commands.
Code:
adb wait-for-device
adb push build.prop /build.prop
adb shell "su -c 'stop ric'"
adb shell "su -c 'busybox pkill -f /sbin/ric'"
adb shell "su -c 'mount -ro remount,rw /'"
adb shell "su -c 'chmod 0440 /sbin/ric'"
adb shell "su -c 'stop ric'"
adb shell "su -c 'busybox pkill -f /sbin/ric'"
adb shell "su -c 'mount -ro remount,rw /system'"
adb shell "su -c 'busybox cp -af /build.prop /system/build.prop'"
adb shell "su -c 'chmod 0744 /system/build.prop'"
adb shell "su -c 'rm /build.prop'"
adb shell "exit"
adb kill-server
Good luck.

Wowww Cat, you are the one!! Thanks in Advance
The main problem I have: An issue with device recognition in windows PC... driver ADB VCOM MTK 6592 (tried in different PCS windows Xp and 8) (the device manager "see" the vcom preloader but only a little moment (in the first instant when connect the cell (cell off) with usb cable) and then dissapear (disconnect) the vcom preloader... I think If I can reach the way to get this connection running ok I can progress with this... will fight hard...
When I type the command adb devices, result: no devices found...
Tried to upgrade the vcom drivers (when i can catch it in the active state in device manager)... nothing
Tried to "on" the phone... nothing
Tried to flash a new ROM from Recovery (MIUI or Feelingme 078)... ERROR installation aborted
I can see this effect (with usbview): the usb is recognized in the PC (but just for a little moment at the instant when plug it), then disconnect...
I need to recover the original build.prop.bak from coolpad memory, rename it to build.prop and send it to coolpad again...
I think i can flash (from recovery) an original build. prop (packed as update.zip) doing the wipes and apply update from sdcard)... anyone can assist me on this?
This new 9976A item comes to me with 048 version, custom buid version 265 and rooted from factory...
Anyone can please help me?

You need to solve that problem before you can do anything else. Find an xda-developers forum that deals with your device and look there for fixes for your device's drivers. I am confident I can help you with Sony tablet drivers, but not your device's drivers. I don't even know the model of your device.
Create and use the following CheckDriver.bat file to help you troubleshoot the drivers. The script simply opens a DOS command window, starts the adb server, then lists the devices the adb server finds. The DOS command window will stay open until you press any key. If the script hangs, press ctrl+c to abort the script and close the DOS command window, then open another DOS command window and issue the "adb kill-server" command to stop the adb server.

@echo off
echo Starting ADB server and waiting for device.

Looks okay. Just keep in mind that the scripts are based on what is required for Sony tablets. Your device may require something a little different.

No. The "adb wait-for-device" command is what starts the adb server and causes the script to wait until the adb server detects a device before the next command in the script is issued.
Similar to the CheckDevice.bat file, you can insert the "@echo off" command at the beginning of your .bat files and the "pause" command just before the "adb kill-server" to cause the DOS command window stay open so you can see what is going on and the DOS command window will stay open until you press any key. Again, if the script hangs, press ctrl+c to abort the script and close the DOS command window, then open another DOS command window and issue the "adb kill-server" command to stop the adb server.

Code:
@echo off
echo Starting ADB server and waiting for device.
echo.
adb wait-for-device
adb devices
pause
adb kill-server
Looks okay. Just keep in mind that the scripts are based on what is required for Sony tablets. Your device may require something a little different.
No. The "adb wait-for-device" command is what starts the adb server and causes the script to wait until the adb server detects a device before the next command in the script is issued.
Similar to the CheckDevice.bat file, you can insert the "@echo off" command at the beginning of your .bat files and the "pause" command just before the "adb kill-server" to cause the DOS command window stay open so you can see what is going on and the DOS command window will stay open until you press any key. Again, if the script hangs, press ctrl+c to abort the script and close the DOS command window, then open another DOS command window and issue the "adb kill-server" command to stop the adb server.

Sounds to me your device simply is not responding to the adb server's attempt to connect. Again, my advice is for you to find an xda-developers forum that deals specifically with your device and look there for fixes for your device.

Thank you for the info,
but it's not working on Recovery mode!
I try to backup and restore the build.prop file on cmd in recovery & in bootloop case.
working:
adb wait-for-device
adb pull /system/build.prop.bak or adb pull /system/build.prop
adb kill-server
not working push to the system: (even the cmd showing the opposite)
adb wait-for-device
adb push build.prop /system/build.prop
adb kill-server
I'm tring to resotre from PC or SD card...
(after changing the permission to system folder (instead only build.prop file) to 00644 the device keep get to Recovery mode! (with root browser app)
only flashing again the rom fix it.)
I got an error too:
- exec '/system/bin/sh' failed: Permission denied (13) -
by the way what Should to be on?
SuperSU or Superuser (ADB shell allow ?)
Developer Mode (Enable ADB ) +USB Debugging on
i'm worng what else?
I want to add some info:
I know the best way to edit this file only by : Notepad++ or EditPlus editor to preserve UNIX encoding
or Turbo Editor ( File Editor ) app.

and great script from user.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=55113422&postcount=208
will this work too on recovery or bootloops mode?
backup:
adb shell
su
mount -o remount,rw /system
cp /system/build.prop /system/build.prop.bak
mount -o ro,remount /system/ /system
----
restore:
adb shell
su
mount -o remount,rw /system
cp system/build.prop system/build.prop.bootloop
cp system/build.prop.bak system/build.prop
chmod 00644 system/build.prop
reboot
Hi all,
Here's my case,
The tab keep rebooting itself (galaxy tab - samsung logo - startup page). On the startup page it stil able to run it around 6/7 seconds and freeze then the same thing happen again.
I tried wipe all data/factory reset and wipe cache in recovery mode,but it still happen.
I wonder by factory reset all data would be deleted but still i able to view the old files from "get zip from sd card" option.
Tried Odin with usable ROM last time. Still the same.
In Mounts and Storage, there's no mount usb options for me. So cant boot from usb.
Please advice. Thanks a lot. Too many in my head now.

think this called a boot loop. and i found this... which i do not familiar with this.

Chapter 3 Using ADB as solution
ADB can be used to access the phone while booting, be aware that some bootloops make it unable to use ADB since they do not go further then the manufacturer logo. (In new CWM versions it’s possible to use adb)
The only tricky part about using ADB with bootloops is that you have to do it on the right time, this is different from every device, but normally it’s after the manufacturer logo that the partitions get mounted. The easiest way to enter your phone in this part is using a batch script that monitors the state of your device and connects directly when possible.
I use this script for example, called ondemand.bat (requires adb.exe and the 2 dlls)
@ECHO off cd /d %~dp0 echo. echo Waiting for device… adb wait-for-device echo. adb -d shell stop adb push mycwmfix.zip /sdcard/mycwmfix.zip adb reboot recovery

@ECHO off
cd /d %~dp0
echo.
echo Waiting for device…
adb wait-for-device
echo.
adb -d shell stop
adb push mycwmfix.zip /sdcard/mycwmfix.zip
adb reboot recovery
Linux Version (ondemand.sh):
#!/system/bin/sh echo " " echo "Wating for device..." ./adb wait-for-device echo " " ./adb -d shell stop ./adb push mycwmfix.zip /sdcard/mycwmfix.zip ./adb reboot recovery

echo " "
echo "Wating for device..."
./adb wait-for-device
echo " "
./adb -d shell stop
./adb push mycwmfix.zip /sdcard/mycwmfix.zip
./adb reboot recovery
This script will wait for the device to become ready, when it’s ready it freeze the device, so the script has more time to push the file (instead of keep rebooting). Then it will push the specified cwmfix zip to your sdcard, and after that it will reboot in recovery so you can install the cwm fix you made. You can also make an batch script that pushes the files automatically to your phone, here is an example:
@ECHO off cd /d %~dp0 echo. echo Waiting for device... adb wait-for-device echo. adb -d shell stop adb -d shell su -c "mount -o remount rw /system" adb push framework-res.apk /system/framework/framework-res.apk adb -d shell chmod 644 /system/framework/framework-res.apk adb push SystemUI.apk /system/app/SystemUI.apk adb -d shell chmod 644 /system/app/SystemUI.apk adb reboot

@ECHO off
cd /d %~dp0
echo.
echo Waiting for device...
adb wait-for-device
echo.
adb -d shell stop
adb -d shell su -c "mount -o remount rw /system"
adb push framework-res.apk /system/framework/framework-res.apk
adb -d shell chmod 644 /system/framework/framework-res.apk
adb push SystemUI.apk /system/app/SystemUI.apk
adb -d shell chmod 644 /system/app/SystemUI.apk
adb reboot
Linux version:
#!/system/bin/sh echo " " echo "Waiting for device..." ./adb wait-for-device echo " " ./adb -d shell stop ./adb -d shell su -c "mount -o remount rw /system" ./adb push framework-res.apk /system/framework/framework-res.apk ./adb -d shell chmod 644 /system/framework/framework-res.apk ./adb push SystemUI.apk /system/app/SystemUI.apk ./adb -d shell chmod 644 /system/app/SystemUI.apk ./adb reboot

./adb wait-for-device

./adb -d shell stop
./adb -d shell su -c "mount -o remount rw /system"
./adb push framework-res.apk /system/framework/framework-res.apk
./adb -d shell chmod 644 /system/framework/framework-res.apk
./adb push SystemUI.apk /system/app/SystemUI.apk
./adb -d shell chmod 644 /system/app/SystemUI.apk
./adb reboot
This script will wait for the device to become ready, when it’s ready it freeze the device, so the script has more time to push the file (instead of keep rebooting). Then it will push framework-.apk and SystemUI.apk to the directory it belongs to, after that it changes the permissions of the files to RW-R-R (644) and then it will reboot.
Please note that on some devices the command “su -c” cannot be used after using the “stop” command, it gives an error then (Segmentation Fault).
What you can do to prevent this is adding “adb remount” just under the “adb wait-for-device” line, and remove the “adb -d shell su -c “mount -o remount rw /system” line.
Save the script and run it again.
You are probably able to fix your bootloop with this guide, in some rare cases some other partitions could be damaged, then I advice you to install the stock rom (which is no .zip in most cases)
Once you master the fixing of bootloops you can fix your phone independently !
-------------------------------------
anyone know how? where do i need to put the script file to? thanks.
Hi,
I have idea like "backup all data (include apps, accounts, system settings) -> wipe all data -> upload backup -> start device", but backup upload on server by ftp/sftp.
After few times another script download necessary backup and upload on phone by adb/fastboot and start device.
Now i create backup by this script (sorry, i`m only learn)
Code:
adb wait-for-device
set dirname=%date:~0,2%%date:~3,2%%date:~8,2%%time:~0,2%%time:~3,2%
mkdir %dirname% > NULL
adb shell su -c "dd if=/$(ls -la /dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name | grep system | sed -r 's/.* .//') of=/sdcard/blkbackup.img"
adb pull /sdcard/blkbackup.img %dirname%\system.img
adb shell rm /sdcard/blkbackup.img
adb shell su -c "dd if=/$(ls -la /dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name | grep boot | sed -r 's/.* .//') of=/sdcard/blkbackup.img"
adb pull /sdcard/blkbackup.img %dirname%\boot.img
adb shell rm /sdcard/blkbackup.img
adb shell su -c "dd if=/$(ls -la /dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name | grep recovery | sed -r 's/.* .//') of=/sdcard/blkbackup.img"
adb pull /sdcard/blkbackup.img %dirname%\recovery.img
adb shell rm /sdcard/blkbackup.img
adb shell su -c "dd if=/$(ls -la /dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name | grep cache | sed -r 's/.* .//') of=/sdcard/blkbackup.img"
adb pull /sdcard/blkbackup.img %dirname%\cache.img
adb shell rm /sdcard/blkbackup.img
adb shell su -c "dd if=/$(ls -la /dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name | grep userdata | sed -r 's/.* .//') of=/sdcard/blkbackup.img"
adb pull /sdcard/blkbackup.img %dirname%\userdata.img
adb shell rm /sdcard/blkbackup.img
adb shell "pm list package -s" > %dirname%\system.apps.list
adb shell "pm list package -3" > %dirname%\3d-party.apps.list
i think what this logicaly work, but in realy - dont work and i cant upload backup in server.
can you explain me how i can create fully backup android device and restore it adter few days in device by shellscript.
In an ideal world I see it this way:
1) made a backup using http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1620255
2) loading on server
3) another script download the desired backup and load it on your phone or PC
4) install
4.1) profit
PS Since I need it urgently enough and I tried huge amount of scripts and commands - asking for your help (in debt will not stay).
