There is an app called 2nd init recovery in the Market. It's like safestrap or boot menu manager (I think.) Can anyone risk to try it? Or should I risk it? Will it work?
Maybe we can get a chance to flash a custom recovery or something...?
I don't even know it's the right section to start thread.

Try lte2recovery here: http://androidforums.com/spirit-4g-...2971-2nd-init-recovery-985hpakick-spirit.html
If that works then only use the reboot option in the app since your device will be factory reset by rebooting in an other way, only use the 2nd Init Reboot Recovery (not like the option will work anyway so you have to go into it manually) (read the thread fully).

Send me this files:

/init.rc (and all subfiles like init.something.rc)
/fstab (can be named something.fstab or fstab.something), also in /etc
/kernel or /zImage if you have it
And the output of
ls -al /dev/block
do also search in this folder for a folder named "by-name" (may be in a subfolder so do some lookaround)
and do a ls -al on that folder to.
I think that is a good start.

Thanks. Looks similar to the XTS.
You'll probably not find the kernel image. I just thought if it was in the rootfs but if it isn't we can't reach it (it lies in the encrypted hidden.img).
It isn't necessary but would be a nice touch.
There are no mtd in proc on XTS either. Same there it's usually there and could help a bit but if it isn't that isn't a big of a deal.
On big difference seems to be how the sdcard is managed (XTS have it in /data/media where the STS are using vold) could you se if there is a vold.fstab (or similar) in /etc?
When I have some initial things to test I will post.
Here you are. Vold.fstab

Delete the current dockservice.apk from system/app
Extract the dockservice.apk from 1.3rc2(or 1.1 eclipse)
Push it (u know...copy and paste it) to system/app and fix permission to rw-r--r-- (I also changed owners to root)
Reboot
presto!! Working mirror
I dud all that using root explorer to extract the dockservice.apk from 1.3rc2 zip
And to delete old one and push it in
Would this work with Molten too?

If not...try pulling the dockservice apk from the naked or just plain deodexed 2.3.4.
im not sure if the eclipse ones are signed different.
If its already broken u can't really break it anymore by switching out the dockservice apk.

However this morning I found that you already posted the file. I have downloaded the serrvice dock apk file and I am going back to eclipse right now to give it a try. Thanks Again for the help!!
Can't replace or delete the dock apk in system/app with the older version. Says its a read only file and cannot be changed. Any ideas?

Use root explorer. Hit the mount r/w and turn it into r/o then you can. You will also need to change the permissions after you install it.

thanks. I missed that question.
this is 100% correct.
other file explorers can work too(root browser is another)
but I swear by root explorer.that little gray box at top to change to mount r/w makes life so easy.
I bought root explorer a long time ago and am glad I did. its really the only file explorer u will ever need.
to be able make ANY changes to files in /system it needs to be mounted as r/w.
and no need to mount r/o afterwards since the reboot u need to do to get it working will remount as r/o anyways.

What file manager did you use to place the apk and lib? Did you also have to mount when you transferred those files?

For me I got it to work by copied the apk over to the systems/apps dir. Renamed the original then changed the permissions. Works pretty good. The lock screen part seems to have issues for the display. It will show just a default music icon. then when i change a song using the controls, it will find the right text to display. Anyone else seeing that?
Thanks for sharing!

This CWM zip will enable emoji compatibility throughout the system. I believe Jellybean supports it natively and some ICS roms (e.g., CM9) have it. I'm not sure if CM9 support is only in the messaging app, but this zip enables it system wide, which means you'll be able to see them in the browser, Twitter apps, etc. Unfortunately, they only appear in black and white. If there are any problems with flashing, you can manually extract the files to the appropriate directory (/system/fonts) with 644 permissions.
Flash in recovery or manually extract contents

And to make changes to system files, you have to mount r/w (top right corner if you're using root explorer).

I also got the status error "0" in cwm.
I'm using Root Browser lite. Not sure how to mount to read/write.
EDIT:
I managed to get it working. I had to tweak Root Browser lite to allow me to change permissions. I noticed when you extract the files into the /system/font folder, it doesn't overwrite the old ones; it just renames the extracted files with a "-copy" suffix. I deleted the old files then removed the "-copy" from the extracted files. Rebooted and confirmed its working now.
Thanks for this mod! Now I can see what iPhone users are emoji-ing about...lol

Since we're replacing the font files with modded ones, the emojis act like regular fonts. They're supposed to be black and white...unless you change your phone's font color to something else.
I think (in theory), the emojis on the iPhone are linked to a certain image based on the character combinations... : ) =, : ( = etc...

Do you even know what adb push bootanimation.zip /data/local is? You are putting the bootanimation.zip file into the /data directory which cannot be written to without root.
Also, this is xda. If anything, you are on CNN.com and the "other websites" are tabloid sites. Trust the advice you find here

I think you should try pushing to system/media OP.
root access is generally irrelevant, the file just needs to be there and have the right name.
If you install the root right, e.g. From xda-developers (usually there are guides how to install) you nearly can't brick it. It's very hard to make a full brick

Yes, it is possible. I am currently able to unpack the boot.img and ramdisk, but when compiling the ramdisk with the kernel to make the new insecure boot.img something isn't right. Everytime I flash it I go in to a boot loop. Thinking maybe I am not applying the ramdisk address. As of now, not sure what the cause is.

Yes, it is possible. I am currently able to unpack the boot.img and ramdisk, but when compiling the ramdisk with the kernel to make the new insecure boot.img something isn't right.

Place unpackbootimg in /system/bin/ with executable permissions. Open up terminal emulator and type unpackbootimg. It will show what to do. My problem right now is packing it. I get boot loops. Not sure why. Anyways, good luck.

Ignore the ramdisk.sh (its jacked up). Just unpack the ramdisk manually using terminal emulator. You will need gzip and cpio support on your device though.

ramdisk.sh originally looks like this...
Code:
#!/system/bin/sh
Dir=$1
FileName=*ramdisk
cd $Dir
busybox cp -f *ramdisk.gz ./ramdisk/
cd $Dir/./ramdisk
busybox gzip -d *ramdisk.gz
busybox cpio -i -F *ramdisk
busybox rm -f *ramdisk *-ramdisk *.img-ramdisk
busybox touch ok

Fixed ramdisk.sh.
Anyways, just place unpackbootimg, ramdisk.sh, and mkbootimg in /system/bin/ then go from there.

Let me know if you got a boot.img to flash successfully on your device. You might get an arguement or complaint from the cpio command found in the ramdisk.sh. If so, then don't use your eternal or external sdcard. FAT is not welcome by cpio lol. Have to create a new folder in /system then take it from there.

Check out that link again. New files, better instructions, and works flawlessly. The last one I provided to you was corrupted when being compiled. But I fixed it. It will work now. Just wanted to update you on this since you are looking for such tools.

Let me know what you think of it or if there are any ideas you would like to add to make the tools better. The two tools are unmkbootimg and mkbootimg. Unmkbootimg will make the process much easier. Enjoy bro.
Feedback is always encouraged. I also provided the source.

Update: binaries included...
mkbootimg, unmkbootimg, and mkbootfs.
Works with ARM devices.
Have tested this on LOTS of boot.img's and all were successful.
this project was a headache and I almost gave up on it. But at last, it is complete lol.
