I just bought an SGS2 from a carrier in Brazil (TIM) but it came full of crappyware and most importantly: without the Development Mode option in Settings > Applications !!
So basically, although I could root it by replacing the kernel, I'm still not able to adb shell on it because of this issue.
Does anyone have an idea on how to enable the Development Mode through ConnectBot?
Also, how do I remount the SD from ConnectBot with 'rw'? You know... to remove all the crappyware...
Thank you

dont you have cwm with replacing the kernel? so cant you flash a custom rom and with that everything you want? (still not dev relevant )
Sorry, I forgot to mention that I don't want to replace the stock ROM... not for now.
I'm waiting for CM7

ah okay. cm7 is already available almost everything is working. there are stock roms available for download in intratech's thread. without replacing your current rom it'll be difficult. I cant help more :-/
This thread should be in Q&A.
The first steps you need to take (rooting & custom recovery) are available in the CF-Root thread

he already did that: So basically, although I could root it by replacing the kernel, I'm still not able to adb shell on it because of this issue.
My question is: how to enable Development Mode from ConnectBot (terminal) directly from inside Android? Remembering that I have root
Again not dev and I'm not sure about connectbot but why don't you just replace settings.apk? Wouldn't t that take care of it instantly?
To replace settings.apk I need adb shell, or read-write access to mounted SD.
The reason I'm posting this to Dev question, is because devs are probably the ones with knowledge on how to do this.
I have root, I have terminal access to root (ConnectBot for example) and that's all.
I cannot adb shell into it because Development Mode option is not present on Settings > Applications.
How do I remount with read-write access the SD ? This way, I can download a settings.apk (new question: any hint from where I can get the stock-stock version?) and cp to /syste/app through ConnectBot
Use terminal emulator and remount system rw and then replace settings? Won't that work ?

Remounting with +rw worked. Carrier specific apps deleted. Now any hint on what settings.apk should I use? The one from CM7 ?
Must I replace SettingsProvider.apk too?

afaik different framework --> wont work. if you have a fast internet connection download a custom rom(based on samsung i.e. not miui or cm7), extract it and pick the settings.apk
take care. should match your present firmware. probably 2.3.3 and most of the users are on 2.3.4 or 2.3.5(miui+cm7)
or if anybody is so kind he could upload his settings.apk (i'm on miui so sorry)

Flash that kernel with odin.
Download just about any rom, minus cm7, grab SettingsProvider.apk and Settings.apk from the zip file (/system/app/SettingsProvider.apk)
put them somewhere you can find them, open a command prompt in that directory.
(if you haven't setup adb properly you will need to drop everything in with the adb.exe file, but I would suggest setting it up properly.)
adb shell
su (accept on phone)
mount -o remount,rw /system
exit
exit
adb push SettingsProvider.apk /system/app
adb push Settings.apk /system/app

Im 100% sure that the above WILL work..
But care to explain why you dont want to flash a custom rom?

Which ROM do you recommend, that is mostly closer to stock Samsung TouchWiz 2.3.3 ?
I don't want to install CM7 yet because it still lacks some features.

modaco's prebaked ROM offers stock + a few tweaks that most people would find useful.
And although your questions would be best answered by those with developer knowledge, it still doesn't mean it should be posted here.
Also, even if you don't have terminal access, I'm pretty sure with root you can use Root Explorer to copy over the new settings.apk and setting the appropriate permissions.
Alright, thanks a lot!
I've got a cheap Chinese tablet (WM8850-MID) running Android 4.0.3 based on WonderMedia 8850 processor.
It's not rooted.
Here's what i found:
/system/xbin/su is present:
-rwsr-xr-x 1 0 0 68528 May 14 11:07 su
But I can't run su in a terminal:
su uid 10064 not allowed to su
Using adb.exe I have the same problem with uid 2000.
There is a script /system/etc/init.sh which is called a boot time, but If I modify and push it via adb it won't execute (lost execute permission)
adb reboot-bootloader does reboot the device, but it does not stay in bootloader mode and just go straight to Android.
I'm not sure where to go from here. Is there a way to root that device ?
Try ./adb root to run as root.
Use oneclickroot.

I forgot to mention "adb root" says I'm already root.
If I copy files with adb push, the owner is root, but If I use "adb shell" I'm user uid 2000.
This is a new tablet, but I'll give oneclick a try anyway. Thanks.
I've just tried SuperOneClick 2.3.1.0. It says it's already rooted because it can find /system/xbin/su, but I continued anyway. It can copy busybox (temp) but cannot change the permissions and it stops there.
Try resetting your tablet and if the su binary is stil there remove it. After resetting retry with superoneclick.

Thanks, but how do I delete it since I don't have the permissions? In case it's possible, is it safe to remove the su binary? I have no way to recover my firmware...
Use ./adb root to remove it because you will be root.After removing it reset your tablet to factory settings. It is safe because the su binary is not part of the os.
Then try rooting with oneclickroot.
Hope it works for you.
i also bought wm8850 tablet in china..can you teach me how to root in detailed its my first android device....i dont understand the other terms u are using....
Hi jallaine12gil,
I think that you should first try to root with oneclickroot. Post if it worked or not. Oneclickroot is a rooting program for android devices.
download the firmware. then find the android4.0.tgz file open it with 7zip, add the su file to system/bin folder and system/xbin manually.... then put the superuser.apk in the system/app folder then save changes.... then flash firmware from sdcard
if camera is in the top centre of the wm8850 tablet: in txt file
if camera is in top right of the wm8850 tablet: in txt file
download the firmware. then find the android4.0.tgz file open it with 7zip, add the su file to system/bin folder and system/xbin manually.... then put the superuser.apk in the system/app folder then save changes.... then flash firmware from sdcard

How to get adb working on the wm8850?
Hi, sorry to interject with something semi-unrelated, but how did you guys get adb working with the wm8850? I've added the vendor id to the ~/.android/adb_usb.ini on mac, but adb still can't find the device. I used 0x0ea0, is this what you guys used?
Any advice would be great!

Hi, friend
Sorry, how do you root??
When I try to install the premium version of Rom Manager i get "youre trying to replace a system app , do you want to continue ?" .
I click yes and then get "App not installed"
Any help or suggestions plz ?
Thanks
do you have root access? because that is necessary to change any system app in any case. Super User should pop up if you do have root. If it does not, maybe you accidentally denied it root privileges on first start.
Yes im sure its rooted and i checked Superuser logs on rom manager.
"created allowed allowed" and its in the allowed list.
Im guessing the installation is failing because its a system app thats in use or something ?
Since its a system app and installed via CM7 i cant even delete it.
It doesnt show in the installed apps list.
Any help is appreciated.
There is a directory under the /system folder I believe(bin?). Under that directory are a series of apk files and I bet there is still a file there for the rom manager. If you remove that with root explorer or something similar you should be good to go.

-reboot
-reinstall.
Hi
I have a Prestigio PAP4322 and yesterday i decided to root it.After rooting I deleted the settings.apk (accidentally touched that) and now my phone is kinda useless.I dont have a backup.
I searched for a backup and found one.Extracted the settings.apk but that didnt solve anything since it couldnt be installed.Than i tried to install the rom manager to restore the backup that i found,but my device isnt supported clockworkmod and i cant boot into clockworkmod recovery to restore that backup.
Than i found somoene that told me to put the setting.apk file in the system/app folder and than restart the phone.After restarting the phone,he stuck in the loading screen.Tried a lot of times and he still stuck at loading screen.
So i decided to boot into system recovery and wipe data/factory reset.
And now my phone is unrooted,cant access play store (after selecting to log in with an excisting account the app crashes),settings.apk is still missing and i cant turn on usb debuging(since settings.apk is missing).
Pls help

it's kind of difficult
but, if you can rooted it again, maybe you. can try to push the system.apk to system/app folder again, but don't forget to give the same PERMISSION like the others Apk in that folder, then reboot your phone
if it's still doesn't working, use adb to push the system.apk into system folder

Hello guys, im facing this problem and maybe u all can help me,
actually i got motorola one (not power) and i noticed this function multi-user with up to 5 users isollated. so i wanna increase this number of accounts up to 10, i know its possible, but can i do it without rooting?
or if only rooting is possible, is there a way to unroot 100%? because some apps detect im rooting.
can i acess "build.pro" and edit it without rooting too?
i also own a samsung j7 prime and followed tutorial below and worked very well with a little downsides, its detectable by some apps including banks apps
Any help is welcome
https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-j7/how-to/multi-user-samsung-galaxy-j7-j5-t3217939
Step 1. Open FileExplorer (Es file explorer, preferable)
Step 2. Go to "Device"
.
Search for "build.prop"
Edit and add the below string at the end of the editor and save and reboot !
fw.max_users=10
fw.show_multiuserui=1
You'll need root to edit build.prop.

Yes you need root to find build.prop. But you can extract build prop using adb pull location in twrp and edit it on PC, then reinstall firmware *DONT UNROOT VIA MAGISK ALMOST HARDBRICKED MY MOTO ONE* when your done reinstalling firmware then use adb push location build.prop

i found this firmware https://www.getdroidtips.com/motorola-one-android-pie-update/ , this one is the correct for my mobile. can i edit this rom (build.prop) and flash it to work with above 5 users? what you think?
with my searchs i found the pull push command, https://www.**********.com/push-pull-files-android-using-adb-commands/
so basically, run adb look for the build.prop and pull it to adb folder, edit the file into pc to 10 users (fw.max_users=10) save, adb push command and done, reboot? thats right ?
