Hello all
I need help
Unfortunately I have managed to damage my 2.1 rom. (i have replaced 2.1 framework-res.apk)
Now I cannot boot into it , problem is that I do not have a backup, so I cannot just easily "reburn" the firmware.
I have 2.2 ROM implemented. but I do not -know how to reach 2.1 system files from it. There is some chroot done in boot process imho .
Can anybody help me how to reach the files
I have a backup of framework-res.apk

Code:
adb shell
mkdir 21system
mount -o rw /dev/block/mtdblock2 /21system
If you're lucky it will mount your 2.1 system partition as /21system
Most likely it will say "Device or resource busy"... But worth trying anyway.
Cheers
Thanks
I had to think about remount
Going to try now ..
EDIT:
You are absolutelly right : Device or resource busy .
What should I try now ?
I found out that I can reach 2.1 system in adb , but my root do not work. so I cannot do anything to the system partition . Any ideas how to achieve root in this state ? On phone display there is still only firts sony ericsson logo ..

I did the same thing at least twice. I was able to save it without restoring by replacing my framework-res.apk before it rebooted or froze.
Basically, try to adb into it while it is still at the Sony logo or if you get the blackscreen after the logo.
One weird thing I did notice was that I was able to replace the framework-res.apk file apparently without using 'su'. After I killed it when I was doing adb at/after the logo I tried to 'su' but it gave some error and remained at the '$' prompt. I then did the 'dd if=/sdcard/framework-res.apk of=/system/framework/framework-res.apk' command and it completed. Rebooted and it worked again.
Think my whole thing was tested second time with a script.
Try making a frameworkfix.cmd file and putting this in it.
@echo off
@echo.
@echo Installing Framework
@echo.
@adb shell su
@adb push framework-res.apk /sdcard/framework-res.apk
@adb shell dd if=/sdcard/framework-res.apk of=/system/framework/framework-res.apk
The keep trying to run it while at the Sony logo. Give it a few runs before you give up, I swear it worked for me.

Heck just try the following from folder with your original framework.
adb push framework-res.apk /sdcard/framework-res.apk
adb shell dd if=/sdcard/framework-res.apk of=/system/framework/framework-res.apk
or
adb push framework-res.apk /sdcard/framework-res.apk
adb shell
su
dd if=/sdcard/framework-res.apk of=/system/framework/framework-res.apk
thanks guys , but I do not need commands,
I know them already , I had permissions problem.
Instructions mentioned above did not worked for me
I've got permission denied
anyway thanks

You can access the 2.1 /system partition through 2.2 with adb.
Use this to unmount 2.2 /system
Code:
su
busybox umount /dev/block/loop1
You can check if all worked well this way:
Code:
busybox ls -1d /system/* | grep xbin
If it gives you anything, it's 2.1 -- if not, try
Code:
busybox umount -l /dev/block/loop1
Now, you should have the old 2.1 /system structure available. Ignore all errors appearing *on the phone* it'll be screwed up, unusable. Until a restart.
Now through adb you can overwrite your 2.1 framework apk with dd
(assuming you already have it on the sdcard, else, well, push it there (adb push framework.apk /mnt/sdcard/ )
Code:
dd if=/mnt/sdcard/framework.apk of=/system/framework/framework.apk
for remount system, just do
Code:
busybox mount -o remount,rw /system
after you have the 2.1 system available.
I installed 2.2 to my nand (almost fully working) at one point this way =3
Or...
You can flash again just using system.bin and everything you had would be there.
;-)
You also will need loader.sin
I did this a couple of times and work for me; I only need to root again
Good luck!
PS: In the firmware folder, you need to leave ONLY this 2 files: System.sin and loader.sin. Backup and delete all other files like amss.sin, cache.sin, etc.
well thank you
This a good idea ..
Unfortunatelly I already reflashed the phone
Hope it will help to somebody in the future

Thought that would work, was going to do it with .003, but I guess the recovery tool will do that for us - now we see what Z has been working on - excellent news
Just curios. Any speed improvements when extracting the img files to nand and mount/run it from there ?
Even running from sdcard img files is a perfect backup solution by just copy the img files away from time to time. But of course r/w cycles of the card are increased --> less lifetime.
But otherwise running from images is nice, as you're able to mount them. (diskinternals linux reader but R-only)
Anyone knows a win32 prog to mount the img files r/w ?
hi,
guys i am having trouble with my phone all of a sudden.
I flashed back to stock ED05 and now my /system rfs partition is READ ONLY.
I found out its only read only, because i couldn't root anymore. I need root for titanium backup so i can restore my apps.
How do i change it to Readwrite?
Im trying to remount, but i am having problems
i went into cmd > adb shell > window opened up i typed mount -o rw,remount -t rfs /dev/block/stl9 (the stl9 is my /system i think from the look of the screenshot if i am wrong plz post)
and then i tried chmod 777 /system
it says UNABLE TO chmod /system read-only file system

sorry for links it says u need to have 8 posts before u can link away from forums
someone plz help im going insane on this. I have tried odin DL09 and ED05 over and over again but /system stays read-only
-ADB shell doesnt fix it
-odin doesnt fix it
-trying to get root but since /system is read-only i cant get root
plz someone has to know this
I'm having the same problem. Tried using the Samsung root package mentioned in another thread and it fails to mount the system directory.
I just got my Fascinate this weekend due to a warranty swap from another phone. It ran the update to ED05 when I OTA'd it. Is this something locked down in ED05?
FYI, just found this thread and had no problems doing it the manual way. try it out.

Hi everyone.
I apologize for my first post because it's not one helping, but one asking for help instead.
I have recently struggled with the problem of not being able to move apps to the SD card which you may already be aware of.
So I read somewhere about changing some things on /system/etc/permissions/platform.xml and I had the stupid idea to try to change it without really understanding it.
So I did some ****. Now I can't mount sd (internal or external) and I don't have permissions to restore platform.xml (I have a platform.xml.bak in the same directory which is identical to the original one).
So I was wondering if there could be any trick to restore it. Neither ES File Manager nor Terminal Emulator were capable of replacing the files or edit platform.xml's content (even with root access, su - with terminal emulator).
What could I do? I honestly don't think a factory reset would solve that.
My ROM is stock UBDLI2 (4.1.1) which I found kinda hard to find.
Since you haven't posted a log of your Android Terminal Emulator session, here's my guess at trying to resolve this:
Code:
su
mount -o remount,rw /system
mv /system/etc/permissions/platform.xml.bak /system/etc/permissions/platform.xml
If you need it, chown root.root platform.xml && chmod 644 platform.xml.
similar problem with platform.xml

I was trying to replace my platform.xml file with a modified platform.xml file and in doing so I moved the 0riginal platform.xml file to another folder (just in case I needed the 0riginal again), I changed the permissions of the permissions folder and rebooted for them to take affect without having the platform.xml file in there and boom I'm in never-never-bootloop land. Can anyone help me or does this phone need to be used for skeet shooting? Thanks in advance!

Thanks for the reply. I was rooted but still on stock since I had yet to successfully get a custom recovery on my phone (apparently SGH-I337 on the BN1 baseband is tough to get a custom recovery on)...so I only have the stock recovery which really doesn't offer many options. And everytime I have tried to flash anything via the custom recovery it fails due to it not being signed (or at least I think that is what it says). I'm open to try anything if you got more ideas.

I don't want to be "that guy" as described in your signature...so I want to first say I have searched on this, but I have only found various sections on Odin instructions for various versions of Odin typically pertaining to one specific topic rather than an actual manual/guide for how to use Odin to reinstall a file that was idiodically removed (that'd be me....the idiotical remover of pertinent files). So I hate ask you for more help, but I only can't seem to get anything I try flashing with odin to work, I'm not sure if I'm putting things in the wrong slot (BOOTLOADER, PDA, PHONE, CSC) or what, but I really need some guidance.
Go read the sticky thread in general forum, how to flash with Odin, you can only flash the whole firmware not one file.
can someone explain how to use bypasslkm in further detail. i looked through multiple threads but im stilll not getting the handle on it,
Open your terminal emulator on your phone (download one from Google play if you don't have one) open the terminal and type the following commands (Pressing enter to execute each one)
su (sands for switch user, used alone will switch you to the "root" user. Equilivent to Admin in windows)
cd /data/local/temp (cd - change directory, followed by the complete folder path you want to navigate to)
chmod 755 bypasslkm (not going to get too in depth with this one because I could go on for a while with it but "chmod 755" changes the permissions to read, write, execute for the root user and read/execute for everyone else)
. /bypasslkm (. / tells the system to look in the current directory and, in this case, execute bypasslkm)
Hope this helps clear some things up for you!

I had the same issue. Here is the binary from Surges dropbox https://www.dropbox.com/s/9rdz9ff6x5foech/bypasslkm
Make sure you copy it to the right directory and follow all the commands.

Thats not an error. If you had bypasslkm anywhere on your phone, it should now be in /data/local/tmp with the right permissions and should have executed. Make sure you downloaded the bypasslkm binary linked above

The permissions should be 755, as Surge said.
If you KNOW it's in /data/local/tmp, then do this in a terminal emulator window:
Code:
su
mount -o remount,rw /system
chmod 755 /data/local/tmp/bypasslkm
/data/local/tmp/bypasslkm
insmod /system/lib/modules/dhd.ko
mount -o remount,ro /system
exit
If this doesn't work, DO NOT post just "it didn't work". Say what you did, why you think it failed. Capture the output and reply here with it.

I figured it out! Here is exactly what I did:
after downloading the bypasslkm.bin from the dropbox link, I used ES File Explorer (WITH ROOT ENABLED) to move the bypasslkm file to directly to the data/local/tmp location. NOTE: there are a few places marked "data" and "local" on the phone, so when you open a "data" folder, make sure you find the path in the right order [ i.e. first data, then local, and then tmp]
Using a ROOT FILE EXPLORER app (because ES doesn't have what you will need) go to the bypasslkm file, long press, and select permissions. It will display with permissions are currently set. At the bottom, it SHOULD display the total sum of the permissions selected. Basically, that means by selecting the right boxes, you can change the permissions to 755 !
7 5 5
user group world
r+w+x r+x r+x
4+2+1 4+0+1 4+0+1 = 755
These setting will give you the 755 that you need to pull this off .
When you have the permissions changed to 755, the last step was actually very easy. But if you want to play it safe, then I will tell you the root file browser I specifically used to do the last step.
I used the app Root Browser version 2.2.3 ( i literally googled for any generic root file explorer and this came up )
ok, so when you have the permissions changed, long press on the bypasslkm file.
select "Open With" and then select the option "Open As.."
At the bottom of the options is "script file" select it.
after doing so, select the option "Execute" and... Voila! I immediately regained my WIFI !!!!! \>w</
I hope this guide helped everyone out. I tried to be as specific as possible.

Thanks for the support. Glad I could help. Has your WIFI remained on, though? The solution I posted works, but only for a short amount of time. rebooting the system undoes the work I did and I have to go back into the root browser and execute the file all over again to get wifi.
Can Surge or someone else offer any expertise?
with the permissions changed properly, I tried executing the code, and still not working.
I have safestrap enabled, and I have sound restored. I am currently on android 4.3 from the downgrade provided by Surge. Its rooted.
If I were to upgrade to the rooted version of NC5, would that help fix the wifi issue, or would it carry over?
Any input going forward is appreciated!

It is possible to automate this.
Create a file with the following contents:
Code:
#!/system/bin/sh
/data/local/tmp/bypasslkm
insmod /system/lib/modules/dhd.ko
exit
Save this file as /system/etc/install-recovery-2.sh.
Make sure that the bypasslkm file is in /data/local/tmp.
Reboot, and you should now have WiFi again.
[Note: this assumes SuperSU has it's custom copy of /system/etc/install-recovery.sh in place. If that's not there, it's still possible to edit /init.rc to add a stanza to run this command.]

Ok, so I figured out the coding a little bit. Im not used to this, so forgive my ignorance.
I did the code as u typed it. BUT I made a change. Because I kept getting the "file not found " error. I added ".bin" to the end of the bypasslkm code line. It generated a real response. I felt relieved. I went ahead and typed the last line of code.
THEN I was told the file already exists... I have attached a picture of what I got in android Terminal

You should have /system/etc/install-recovery.sh
It will run /system/etc/install-recovery-2.sh if it exists. What I would do is to create the file on your PC, put it onto your SDcard on the PC, then use Root Explorer to put it into place.
The "file exists" error is because you already have the WiFi module installed. That won't happen when this script runs at boot.

Ok. I'll try that tonight.
But I have a few questions
Im basically trying to autostart the wifi module when the phone boots up right? Are there any apps that can accomplish this specific task?
Also about the downgrade in general. Did anyone get their SD card permissions restored after downgrading? I donwgraded to 4.3, rooted the phone, and somehow I STILL cant move apps to the sd card! Im beginning to suspect that thr issue may be with the card itself, which can be fixed with formatting the sd card. But has anyone had any problems with moving apps to the sd card?
Finally, the bug question concerning the wifi issue.
Is this probkem specific only to those with the downgrade? If so, should upgrading to Surge's rooted kitkat (with sd card permissions and tethered enabled) resolve the wifi issue?
I also noticed that I had wifi access when the phone had no sound. Only when I flashed the Non-HLOS bin file did I encounter this wifi issue.
Thanks for the feedback so far, I just need to understand whrre to go from here

I'm sure there are programs that can be set up to run scripts as root during boot; However, that's complicated since you want this to run while the phone is booting, before there's any opportunity to allow SuperSU to ask for permission.

That's a problem that's fixed by an edit to /system/etc/permissions/platform.xml, adding a stanza that permits external storage write access.

The need to run the "bypasslkm" program is because of the downgrade. If you go to a clean rooted Kit Kat ROM, it shouldn't have any issues with WiFi being enabled. That may be the easiest way to fix this.
So I have rooted Huawei y550 and I messed up build.prop by adding qemu.mainkeys=0 in wrong pace and now when I boot up my phone its stuck at error system ui has stopped but I found a workaround by factory reseting.
So now I can enable usb debugging and stuff.
Anyway I cannot save build.prop when I edit it with root explorer.
And then I try to push it using adb it gave access denied error so I did this chmod 777 /system/build.prop
But now when I try to push the file back it says that directory (or file) is read only.
And I tried many things as adb remount and mount in shell but nothing works.
Also I cannot unloack bootloader because I cannot get code form offical site it says that my ID need to be conneced with my phone atleast 16 days but as the phone is fked I cannot do that (even if i could i have no idea how)
Any help? Thanks!
Edit heres what adb say when I try to chmod
10|[email protected]:/ # chmod -R 777 /system
chmod -R 777 /system
Unable to chmod /system: Read-only file system
10|[email protected]:/ # chmod 777 /system
chmod 777 /system
Unable to chmod /system: Read-only file system
