[Q] HTC Amaze 4G somehow got unrooted?? - HTC Amaze 4G

hello,
my HTC amaze has been rooted for years, but somehow it recently got unrooted. busybox installer still shows it as rooted, but every other application i have that requires root tells me i need root access/superuser privileges. when i try to re-root with the zerg rush exploit, this is what happens:
bash-3.2# adb devices
List of devices attached
HT19VVP12772 device
bash-3.2# adb push zergRush /data/local/
1667 KB/s (21215 bytes in 0.012s)
bash-3.2# adb shell
- exec '/system/bin/sh' failed: No such file or directory (2) -
bash-3.2#
***EDIT***
i am pretty sure it got unrooted after i installed busybox, which installed at /system/xbin.
responses from adb terminal commands:
bash-3.2# adb ls /system

000041ed 00002000 52d9d612 xbin
adb ls /system/xbin includes this:
0000a1ff 00000014 4f7f6e73 sh
whereas adb ls/system/bin does not have "sh" listed.
so /system/bin/sh doesn't exist but /system/xbin/sh does.
how do i fix this and get my device rooted again? this is driving me nuts! thanks

FIXED (i think - i hope)
installed su binary from recovery, did cleanup in superuser app, root seems to be working again now

[FIXED] Urgent help, how to restore \efs to get lost IMEI ? "Input/output error"

[FIXED] Urgent help, how to restore \efs to get lost IMEI ? "Input/output error"
Greeting,
Tonight I flashed a custom kernel to my phone, just\ lost the Singal and my phone show no sim card inserted!.
anyway, i figure it out that... the IMEI lost.
in \efs there's no nv_data.bin file!!
So i went to restore the \efs.
but something not right here!
Hope someone can help here.
i tried these commands but no chance tel now!.
here to restore nv_data.bin
Code:
su
# cp /sdcard/nv_data.bin /efs/nv_data.bin
cp /sdcard/nv_data.bin /efs/nv_data.bin
[COLOR="red"]cp: can't stat '/efs/nv_data.bin': Input/output error[/COLOR]
and here to restore \efs
Code:
# busybox tar zxvf /sdcard/efs/efs-backup.tar.gz -C /
busybox tar zxvf /sdcard/efs/efs-backup.tar.gz -C /
efs/
efs/cryptprop_rebootMode
[COLOR="Red"]tar: can't remove old file efs/cryptprop_rebootMode: Read-only file system[/COLOR]
#
tried to flash back to many FW but no chance,
now i'm in KF1 rooted.
tried root explorer to copy the files but \efs is read only can can't not be changed!.
Hi.
Sounds like your /efs is mounted read-only, try re-mounting for rw access:
Code:
su
mount -o rw,remount /dev/block/mmcblk0p1 /efs
(either via adb or terminal app running on the phone itself)
and then try to copy the files back again.
If it doesn't want to work from a running system, you can also try it in recovery mode (given you have a recovery that allows you a root shell) - you have to use adb in that case ("adb shell", get a root shell ("rootsh" when you're using CF-Root) and then the above).
Maybe the actual FS on the EFS partition is corrupted, so as a very last resort maybe formatting it and then restoring the full backup might work.
here's what i got
Code:
su
# mount -o rw,remount /dev/block/mmcblk0p1 /efs
mount -o rw,remount /dev/block/mmcblk0p1 /efs
# cp /sdcard/nv_data.bin /efs/nv_data.bin
cp /sdcard/nv_data.bin /efs/nv_data.bin
cp: can't stat '/efs/nv_data.bin': Input/output error
will trey via recovery,
but,, how to format it ?
It's one of the mkfs commands, but at first glance I could only find the ext2 version of it - /efs is (like everything else of the internal partitions on the SGS2) ext4....
Maybe someone else can shed some light if either mkfs.ext2 can be used, or how else to format it ext4.
Also, you should use tar to write back your backup, to keep the proper permissions.
Now i see no nv_data.bin in the /efs
and I couldn't copy the file, it's read only, even with the mount!
I think this is the only solution for me.
Some have restored efs/IMEI by flashing a stock firmware .
jje
Ah, also found this command:
Code:
make_ext4fs
but I have no idea about its parameters....
Yeah, try flashing a stock FW, maybe one of the "_user_low" ones, AFAIK they clean out a bit more stuff....
I got this
Code:
su
# ls
ls
acct fota.rc res
app-cache init sbin
cache init.goldfish.rc sdcard
config init.rc sys
d init.smdkc210.rc system
data init_kernel_only.rc tmp
dbdata lib ueventd.goldfish.rc
default.prop lpm.rc ueventd.rc
dev mnt ueventd.smdkc210.rc
efs proc vendor
etc recovery.rc
# cd efs
cd efs
# ls
ls
[COLOR="Red"]ls: ./nv_data.bin: I/O error

ls: ./nv_data.bin.md5: I/O error

[Q] Root help - "Read only file system"

Hi, any help with this one? I get as far as being able to push su and busy box but get "failed, read file system only" or "directory doesn't exist" Thanks in advance!
model PMID700
Android version 2.3.1
kernel version 2.6.32.27
build number 20110918.170336
Firmware version 2.2
I also have this tablet. The issue is the file system is cramfs which is read only so we can't move files to any /system folder. This is where every current one click root tool is failing.
On the positive side it appears we have shell root.
This is the output from doomlord's v3 root script:
Code:
...

/system/xbin/busybox: cannot open for write: Read-only file system
--- correcting ownership

link failed File exists
--- pushing Superuser app
failed to copy 'files\Superuser.apk' to '/system/app/./Superuser.apk': Read-only file system
--- cleaning
--- rebooting
ALL DONE!!!
Is there anyone out there that has converted a cramfs image to ext3 (or possibly something else, not sure what this supports yet)?
i got cat /proc/mounts to work in terminal emulator once and i did notice some others partitions were marked ext3 so hopefully a conversion would be possible i just don't know how and i cant seem to get the mounts again
*edit* cat /proc/mounts works in terminal emulator everytime
attached the important part of the output
Cool that's the same thing I'm seeing.
Code:
/dev/block/mtdblock4 /system cramfs ro,relatime 0 0
/dev/block/mtdblock7 /data ext3 rw,nosuid,nodev,noatime,nodiratime,errors=continue,data=ordered 0 0
/dev/block/mtdblock6 /cache ext3 rw,nosuid,nodev,noatime,nodiratime,errors=continue,data=ordered 0 0
I suppose its a little ambitious for me to try to go directly to ext3 so what i think i will try to do is to try to download the system image from the phone and then modify it with the proper files (from doomlord's oneclick v3) so it can be rooted.
I will update this thread with my progress.
Returned it...I'm all for tinkering, but not willing to go that deep good luck!

Anyone wanna test a one root script for me?

Found a one root script. Just need to see if it'll work on the Amaze. If it does, I'll add it in my tool and give proper credits as always. If not, I'll look into it myself.
Prerequisites?

Same as usual. S-off or unlock boot loader.
I will be able to help after work in few hours if still needed. Unless I don't need a computer, in which if that's the case, I'll help ya out now

Before you s-off/unlock your boot loader, run the script. Tell me if it works. If it does, reboot the phone twice and see if it is a perm root or temp root.

Flash a recovery. Boot into recovery, run the command. Sorry for all this lol
from 4ext nothing, just hangs.
Hold on, adb is giving me issues.
Alright. Try CWM
no go from cwm
it seems that in recovery it hangs a "@adb wait-for-device"
below is what happened when I removed the wait for device command and changed reboot to reboot recovery.
I had dropped the last part of the script in manually to finish the process.

I wouldn't recommend running this batch script on Amaze.
It doesn't even know where our system partition is mounted.
And if my memory is correct, we won't have root previledge to do much with adb shell right after unlocking the bootloader; we need to flash su binary using updater-script to begin with. As for the busybox, just install the 'busybox installer' so that users can run it in Android.
BTW, your all-in-one tool is very handy. Why no 4EXT recovery, though...

[Q] adb pull behavior

Hello,
Using adb pull to recursively copy directories skips files for me. Is this the intended behavior, and if so is there any way to fix it?
Eg,
adb pull /data \bak
Directory of C:\bak
03/22/2013 12:38 PM <DIR> .
03/22/2013 12:38 PM <DIR> ..

03/22/2013 12:38 PM <DIR> misc
03/22/2013 12:38 PM <DIR> system
but there are definitely other directories in /data, including /data/data
adb can see these other directories

and the weird thing is if I specificy subdirectories adb will copy them, e.g., I can do adb pull /data/data . So I take this to mean adb isn't skipping them for some reason like attributes, permissions, or their being in use. But why doesn't pulling the parent directory pull all these subdirectories if "pull" is supposed to be recucrive (and why does it pull some subdirectories)? Thanks for any tips guys.

you mean with trailing backslash and the root c specified? yeah, but no difference. still misses a bunch of files and subdirs (which it gets if I specify them directly).
Can you use the command "adb backup" (details here) to acheve your goal?
