Hello,
I have updated my AT&T Dell Streak to 2.1 and now I am in need of the original stock bootanimation.zip file. Can someone with a Dell Streak, with build 6601, run this command:
Code:
adb pull /system/media/bootanimation.zip ./
and post it to this forum or provide a link?
I will use this to replace the 2.1 boot animation (O2). Thanks in advance!!!
Last but not least, does anyone know how to remove the default RSS Widgets? Thanks again!!

If you can give me a little more detail and a step by step on how to exactly do this, I will do it for you.
Is everything still working ok with the Root you did last night? I am thinking of doing this tonight.
Everything is Fine!!!
Hey @mjaverto, thanks for willing to help! And yes, everything is fine; root worked perfectly!! It is what allowed me to update to 2.1 :-D
As a matter of fact I have modified my 2.1 ROM quite a bit:
- Removed O2 boot animation
- Disabled the black popup window that replaced the standard menu bar. I am back to using the 2.1 grey menubar
- Removed/disabled bloatware:
Twitter
Facebook
Getting started guide
Outlook task and notes
RSS Widgets
AmazonMP3 (Replaced with US Version from my Nexus One)
Also modify the build prop to boot US Locale by default and other minor changes. Now all that's left is to change H symbol to 3G symbol and add stock US bootaninmation.zip. That's where you come in. LOL!
Anyways, I am not sure how familiar you are with the Android SDK, but it comes with a tool called "adb." This tool allows you to do all sorts of debugging. It also give you the ability to push and pull files from the Android device's file system.
What I need someone to do is install/download adb and the command from my earlier post. If its done correctly, you will be able to pull files from the Streak's filesystem.
The file I need is:
bootanimation.zip (adb pull /system/media/bootanimation.zip)
I am not sure what OS you use, but here is some more info on adb (Windows specific): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1UF5w1dKe2U
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A1SOSXwkc_8
Not super familiar but I think I can do this for you. I'm guessing I will need the root done first to be able to use "adb"? Maybe you can share your 2.1 Rom with me after you change these last few things as I'd love to upgrade.
*Windows 7 64x by the way. Should that work ok?
If I have any questions I'll shoot you a PM.
Actually...
No, root isn't necessary. You will only be pulling (copying) files from the filesystem; root is only needed when you want to write to the filesystem and run root system apps.
...And there is one problem with sharing my ROM... I have no idea how to package it. Dell uses, as far as I can tell, a proprietary ROM package (.pkg) format. The best I could do is walk you through the process of getting 2.1 installed. I am basically modifying the ROM on the device.
Hopefully, someone will develop some neat way to backup, modify, and package ROMs for easy installation. Heck, a way may exist... Maybe someone could chime in and enlighten me.
I am not sure about Windows 7, I run Linux. My guess is that you shouldn't have any problems. PM me if you have any more questions or concerns.
***Edit: Is that path you have above correct for sure? I keep getting remote object does not exist.
Upload: I attached tools.zip. *Note the two files inside are the only two files I could find named BootAnimation on my phone which is stock 1.6 ATT US.
Please let me know if I can help with anything else.
Try this...
Try this:
Code:
adb shell ls /system/
and post the output
I posted two "BootAnimation" files I found above
See output:
Cool!
Now type:
Code:
adb shell ls /system/media/
Let see what this produces. Hopefully we will see the file:
Code:
bootanimation.zip
listed.
Nope
Nope sorry. I did a search of the whole device with Astro File manager and it searched all these folders. The above two are the only ones with boot animation.
A search for "boot" yielded these 4. There is no bootanimation.zip:
system/bin/reboot/
system/bin/bootanimation/ (attached in above post)
system/customization/BootAnimation/BootAnimation.xml (attached in above post)
system/bootpriority.xml
sorry.
Private msg...
@mjaverto, check your private messages...
Here ya go mate
I zipped up the bootanimation folder for you from my US Dell Streak Build 6601
Enjoy!

What steps did you take to update to 2.1?
Which steps did you take to update the 2.1 rom?
I was alble to flash the clockwork recovery rom but could not boot it when the device rebooted...

You Are Man!! Thanks!
Thanks! You even grabbed the images! Awesome!!
Anyways, looks like you missed a step with getting 2.1. You need to install the stock UK recovery image: http://www.romraid.com/paul/streak/recovery.stock.img
This will get your recovery image to accept UK ROMS. From here, you should be able to flash 2.1 directly.
See @Greenarcher707's excellent post (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=7668927&postcount=6) on this forum for detailed guide. Since you have already installed the clockwork recovery image, you should be able to skip steps 1 and 2.
Once you have downloaded the image: (update-6941-21.pkg | http://www.mediafire.com/?bb9cvm5uaap2z8k), save it to the root of your SD as "Update.pkg."
The last step will be rebooting the phone into the recovery mode by holding "volume up" + "volume down" simultaneous and pressing the power key. From here it should be self explanatory.
Good luck and let me know how it goes. Hit me up if you have any more questions and thanks again for your help!!!
US Stock ROM Build 6601?
Awesome!! well I see you have to flash the UK stock rom which has a lower build than ours...Is there anywhere you can download the stock US Rom Build 6601 in case we want to go back to stock? Since the nandroid backup is not working in clockwork..I cannot do a a rom backup

Unfortunately, I don't know if a stock 6601 ROM exist. I figured that at some point the internets would produce one :-D But for now, those of us that took the plunge are stuck with 2.1 for now.
Thanks cemian!!
FYI...
I just completed the port of the stock boot animation to the 2.1 image. See: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=7681745#post7681745 for more information.
Thanks again @cemian for your assistance!!

I find it is alot easier than WM once you get the hang of it. I also find that Android phones are harder to brick than WM phone, but not impossible. Just make sure you do plenty of research before you take the plunge. Good luck!!
Hi all,
Hopefully this is something fairly simple to answer, but my dilemma is that I want to flash a different ROM onto my wifi Xoom. I understand the basic process (I flashed the ROM on my old HTC Hero several times), but have been running into trouble on the Xoom and I think it boils down to the fact that Recovery Mode can't mount my SD card. I assume by SD card it means internal storage, but it can't read that or an actual SD card so I'm not sure it matters.
Anyway, after a couple of hours of research, I discovered that the best way to fix this is apparently to re-flash my recovery to version 3.2.0.0 of CWM instead of the 5.8.3.1 the current version of ROM Manager installed. After digging around, I found what I believe is 3.2.0.0, but I can't figure out where to put it so ROM Manager can find it and flash it over the current Recovery image. Also, if anyone has a link to download 3.2.0.0 that they know works, please let me know because I couldn't find a working download link anywhere.
I've also looked into doing it through Fastboot, but can't exactly figure out how to do that, either. I downloaded the fastboot.exe application and installed the Android SDK, but it tells me that it can't start because AdbWinApi.dll is missing. Being a non-developer type, I have no idea where this is supposed to come from, how I should install it, and if there's any other steps I'm missing.
So if anybody can help me out with either of these (preferably using the older version of CMW), that'd be great, but if anyone has an even easier way to do it, please share by all means. I know what I'm doing once I get to the point of installing the new ROM and Gapps, I just need my Xoom to be able to find them first.
Thanks in advance to anyone who can help out!

Anyone know how to root a Sharp SH-02E (ICS 4.0.4)? Even a temporary root is fine, I only want to install a particular apk in /system/app.
Many thanks.
I am looking for the Sharp Aquos Zeta root also, not for me but for my friend

Tried and failed.
There's a discussion on a Japanese BBS that I think is onto something. Unfortunately there's a stupid rule here that means I can't post a link to it. The page title is '【ROM焼き】docomo AQUOS PHONE ZETA SH-02E root1' and it should be the top result on Google for 'sh-02e root'. The fun starts at post 75.
If we can just get ROOT and Custom Recovery on this device - it simply becomes the most powerful and advanced communicator in the world.. However no root - no life..
Two things:
Any luck with a custom recovery yet?
And can anyone dump the kernel and stock rom?
Happy to give it a crack...

Arrgh, this is so frustrating. You look on the 2ch thread and you can see they've done it. Temp root, MIYABI permanent root, they've done it all. The instructions aren't too hard to follow but I cannot for the life of me find the password (キーワード) required to download the files from axfc.net. If I had those files I could root the phone and post a guide here in English. For goodness sake it's staring me right there in the face and there's not a thing I can do about it. And of course because this is XDA, I can't even post you a link to the thread. It's the same thread title as earlier. You want to start from post 542 onwards, if you want a try yourself.

yes , please guide me how to root the phone permantly , thanks a lot !!
OK I've made some progress. I've got a temporary root, and am three hex numbers away from a full root. You'll need
The Sharp USB drivers, that are on Sharp's developer site.
ADB, as usual
The guide itself, which I can't like to. Post 672 on the 2ch thread.
The extra files, likewise. Post 680.
.
It's well written and pretty straightforward. Only minimal use of Google Translate will be necessary.
In the guide you'll find three lines of the form
Code:
./acdbwritevalue <address> <value>
where <address> and <value> are hexadecimal numbers.
The problem is that the guide is written for build number 01.00.05, the latest one. Unfortunetely I'm stuck on 01.00.03, so while the <value> numbers are the same, the <address> numbers are differrent, and I need to find the right ones. If you're on 01.00.05 feel free to go through the guide and share your results. Alternatively, if you know how to force the phone to update without being in Japan on Docomo, please share that too.

Thanks a lot. Luckily I came to Japan for Vacation and was able to find someone else to lend me a Usim card to update. DoCoMo are worse than Motorola, Apple and ATT when it comes to restricting your phone. Hell, I can't even use the native FM function without DoCoMo. How can Sharp expect to come out of the hole of bankruptcy when doing this sort of business? Look at the crappy Samsung company. Awful phones that everyone buys because they decided to be "untied" to companies at the beginning and for that reason they owned the market.
If Japan is really serious into getting its technological market back, better start uncopying the USA practice of enslaving their phones and tablets to telecomunication companies.
It's a shame that the best phone right now, the Sharp Aquos Zeta Sh-02e, with its awesome new screen and specs, is going to the trash as if it was a failure, just because they don't make deals with companies outside Japan.
16MPixel CAMERA!!! IGZO ultra clear screen!!! Quad Core!! 2gb Ram!! all the specs of all the other phones plus like 30 that none of them have!! A total shame, Sharp!
Find it carefully and you will find a good guy have written a script for temp root, I used the script to have my SH-02E rooted.
And, as far as I can read the topic, the unlock file is for NAND crack and may write to recovery area.
I don't test that coz of warranty, the reason I want to root is to put some message backup back(something like LINE) and remote control (VNC server for example)
And, yes, you can find the temp root solution for both 1.0.4 and 1.0.5, but no 1.0.3, good luck!

Hi rotalume
thanks for the note... can i ask a favor? i really need some help to install the SH-02E driver in windows.
tried to download the file from sharp's web, but after executing the install exe file, a bundle of unreadable signs come out, and i check my device manager, there is not SH-02E USB handler or SH-02E modem. I just want to make use of Helium (backup) to extract / restore apps and data...
thank you for your help in advance.
P.S. I guess to get the temp root script pushed to SH-02E, this driver is essential as well.
thanks again

The one you've installed is not ADB Driver, check ADB driver at developer site(I'm to young to post a link )
File name will be given as this form : usb_driver_SHARP_r6.10.zip
Download and extract, then install the driver by device manager.
And, I've used Carbon before but in vain coz of ADB driver(the author had told me), I don't know if this issue has been solved.
For the files, sorry guys, I've found someone at other forums has used them for commercial purpose(it's a shame that ppl of my country is included), so the best I can give is to tell you the clue.
You can post your question and I will do my best, but no file will be provided atm.

after looking at numerous threads and advice, it seems quite complicated to install a simple fn app, which by definition, is supposed to be easy,
why firefox doesn't have it, considering that most stuff is only available on itunes or google store these days, is beyound me.
Even more so that i thought that the dual core would a) let me run ffos or android ie via easy restart mode,
and b) android would have the google store app.
so. how do i get this on. some ppl seem to be able, and there explanation is: its complicated.
fair enough. i hope you will help me and others to work through this. An explanation for dummies.
this is the best post i'v seen so far.

Hi darth lotus,
To install google play store, you need to be able to write to the system file system, to do this you would either need to root and push google apps (gapps) via adb, or replace the stock recovery with a custom recovery which will allow you flash .zips that are not signed by ZTE.
Installing clockworkmod recovery, for example would allow you to do this,
There are examples of clockwork recovery here http://forum.xda-developers.com/firefox-os/general/zte-c-roms-cw-recovery-50-t2806173 and here http://www.modaco.com/topic/373213-recovery-clockworkmod-6050-for-zte-open-c-kis-3/
And TWRP recovery here http://www.modaco.com/topic/373288-recovery-twrp-2710-for-zte-open-c-kis-3/
The second clockwork and the twrp recovery are by a developer named Konstat who has uploaded all his sources to github https://github.com/KonstaT/android_device_zte_kis3
Konstat has also started work on getting a stable version of Cyanogenmod 11 on the ZTE Open C, please see here http://www.modaco.com/topic/373214-devrom149-cyanogenmod-11-android-444-for-zte-open-c-kis-3/
I apologise for linking to a different website but until we can ask xda to create a zte open c forum, I do not really have an option :crying:
Not sure my question in subject is clear, so here's the thing...
I have dual-boot tablet with Android 5.0.1 and Windows 10 installed, and the model is Onda V80 Plus (32GB), if that matters at all.
I'm really having hard time rooting this device using standard methods (even with much of background knowledge and experience), so I was about to take a different route.
I installed Paragon ExtFS windows app which gives me read/write access to /system and /data android partitions (which have ext4 filesystem).
I was wondering if anyone knows if it's possible to gain root access in Android just by copying some files and changing some permissions or whatever from within Windows OS?
Basically, for those not familiar with ExtFS app, I can assign a drive letter to /system and /data partitions, and do whatever I want with them just like with any other drive or volume.
I'm aware that modifying ext4 partitions can render my Android OS unbootable, but I have a backup and would like to try it anyway as this is my last option.
When I look into SuperSU.zip file (which I always flashed through CWM/TWRP recovery to gain root access), I see many files which some lengthy script is copying all around, so I stopped after analyzing about hundred lines of code lol.
I really didn't find any method like this on the internet, so I wonder if that's even possible, and if it is, how would I go about it?
Thanks everyone.

Root needs a custom kernel. Not something you are gonna do with a Windows setup the way you have it. Also you will most likely not find anything as that is most likely not an official version of Android as Google doesn't allow dual booting.
Thanks for a reply. But I don't see what does custom kernel have to do with what I try to achieve? If I could, in my Windows environment, replicate the modifications that script inside SuperSU zip does to /system partition, I should gain root access, right? In theory that is, since I'm aware lots of things can go wrong. I was hoping someone could explain a bit what SuperSU script is doing when run inside custom recovery, so I try to do the same thing. Again, if it's possible, and if it's worth the time spent. But I have time, and I'm always willing to learn something new.

In theory that is, since I'm aware lots of things can go wrong. I was hoping someone could explain a bit what SuperSU script is doing when run inside custom recovery, so I try to do the same thing. Again, if it's possible, and if it's worth the time spent. But I have time, and I'm always willing to learn something new.

what su is doing is pulls the kernel and patches it. root access is defined in the kernel. what itnis doing in system is flashimg just the apk
Ok, I see. So if I ask someone who rooted the same model successfully to send me patched kernel, I could easily flash it in fastboot mode (my bootloader is unlocked). So only thing left to do would be to copy apk inside /system/app, and cross my fingers? I'll post my findings if I manage to do something worth writing about. Thanks.
I have same problem with you. I can't root my Onda V80 plus. I unlock bootloader, flash recovery for my device. Then, i put it into recovery mode and install supersu.zip over recovery. When i reboot this onda, it has stopped in onda logo.

I managed to root my Onda few days after my last post, but forgot to post my findings, sorry. I didn't used any of my hacker's skills lol, but I researched a bit more and found out what I was missing. The same issue is with you, so you have to disable verity before flashing recovery by typing in these commands:
Code:
adb root
adb remount
adb disable-verity
adb reboot
After rebooting install supersu.zip, and the next boot won't hang on Onda logo anymore. Hope this helps you.
btw, note that not just any adb version has verity command line switch. You have to download newer adb version!
Thank you! I trie a lots times, but i can't make successfully!
Basic root procedure would be: unlock BL -> disable verity -> flash (temp) recovery -> install SuperSU
Here are the links containing all the files neccessary for rooting Onda V80 Plus: Mega | MediaFire
Note the ReadMe.txt inside archive. It contains list of adb/fastboot commands needed to be executed in order to successfully root the device.
Thank you very much! I download your file and root successfully my Onda V80 plus! It works well for me.
