Hi,
I seem to have destroyed some things in my /system partition, and since I'm too stupid to make a backup before I edit a single file, I could really need your help.
The version I currently have installed is the one with the following values in the files:
/custom_build_verno:
20140513.163904
/system/build.prop:
ro.adups.fota.version=TrueSmart-20140513-1040
As far as I know right now, the following files are being complained about in the boot loop that I'm currently stuck in:
E/linker (25065): load_library(linker.cpp:757): library "/system/lib/libnetcmdiface.so" not found
E/linker (25064): load_library(linker.cpp:757): library "/system/lib/soundfx/libloudnesswrapper_mtk.so" not found
Can someone check if they are available in their TrueSmart or if this is a red herring and this file is not available at all?
The missing files are not available in the firmware found in these forums with the file name Omate_TrueSmart_20140513.103530_V2.0.zip
Can anyone verify in their logcat that they are also getting these missing file errors on a working TrueSmart?

Hi, I clearly remember seeing these 2 error when I messed up with my TS. (I did many things, not sure what caused this)
I finally managed to go back to stock with "sp flash tools".

Thanks. I flashed the system partition and it's working fine now.

Well I built a custom rom for myself the other day, using the latest stock htc rom (HTC Generic 2.73.405.66), and the kitchen floating around on these forums. It flashes fine, after a full wipe.
Then it freezes on the Hero boot screen.
I used adb logcat to find the issue. I cant post the exact output now, but here is the basic problem:
loading libandroid_servers.so 0x0
its unable to load since it cant find the file: libandroid_servers
System crashes, and restarts. It does it over and over again.
Now im not sure how to solve it, but ive checked that the file libandroid_servers.so is included in the right folder, and and is spelt correctly (including case-sensitive wise)
Anyone else have/had this problem? and a solution?
Also i will say that im not exactly a nub at this. Ive had years of flashing and modification experience on different os's and platforms.
Thanks for any assistance that anyone can give
a few lines more from the logcat might help. the last line is not always the problem indicator. best is probably to attach a complete logcat from the boot, please attach a textfile or use a pastebin service, do not paste the log in your post.
Hello everyone,
I use an LG Optimus L4 II (e445). I rooted it but then decided I had too much on it and decided to restore to factory settings. It all worked fine. However, when I got to the Google Account sign in page, it gave me the "couldn't establish a reliable connection to the server" error message. I followed every single tutorial I could find online as to how to solve this. None of them worked. Eventually, I re-rooted it (using VRoot) and managed to download an apk of ES file explorer and locate the hosts file. This had one line that shouldn't have been there:
127.234.104.240 android.clients.google.com
From what I can make out, this is the address of google's sign in servers. So somehow (I suspect malware/dodgy rooting program?) my hosts file has been edited to stop me logging into google. Restoring the device does nothing, neither does unrooting/rerooting. When I open up the file in ES (when rooted) and edit out the bad lines, I can't save for some reason- I think the /system folder is write protected.
So I tried to make the /system folder writeable. I used the android sdk to do this (mount -o command) but this did not do anything. I downloaded the mount /system apk and installed that, it did not help either. I tried /pull and /push on the hosts file to edit it and send it back using the apk. I could successfully pull and edit it, but it would not let me push it back. I'm kind of stuck here. I can effectively not use my phone- I can't use most apps and can't download any, and have no other solutions up my sleeve. Any ideas?
Thanks a lot,
Louis

After trying for a few weeks now, I've still had no success. One idea has come to me though- installing a rom. Would downloading a custom ROM change my hosts file? Also, if so, could anyone recommend one that is similar to default android? One last idea that I've got at the moment is sonehow completely wiping the hard drive of the phone and reinstalling androud on it, though I have no idea whether that is even possible, and if so, how to do it. I would really appreciate some help here!
Thanks again,
Louis
After reading, I can only talk as one who knows less than you.
Let me say this from the start.
Root=/= unlock bootloader
Find a way to unlock boot loader first, with a Google search.
Use fastboot to flash a recovery (.IMG) made for your phone. fastboot is something like adb.
Let's just say that that is more complicated than rooting. It gave me a headache at first.
_______/
Pertaining to your problem, how about a reflash of the system image?
The official lg mobile support tool may help you with this.
Search for your phone model on the lg support page, look under manuals and downloads, then under software update.

I'm not entirely sure I understand you here, but I'll try. What would unlocking the bootloader do to my phone? Would it enable r/w on the system folder? Also, what is a reflash of the system image? How would I do that?
I'll try these things if I can, but would still appreciate help.
Look around on http://wiki.cyanogenmod.org/w/Basic_concepts?
It should give you some info in flashing and unlocking.
It can give people quite a headache, with all those terms.
________
As for the part under the line, I'm talking about a restoring of the phone to the default state via official methods.
Instructions would be given by the official support programme.

Ok, so from what I can work out, cyanogen does not support my device. Would doing it for a similar device work? Are there any ROMs that support my device?
under the line, restoring the phone via the official ways actually just wipes the user data, not including the HOSTS file which is what I need to wipe. What I really need it is basically a ROM that completely wipes my phone and reinstalls some version of android.
Any other ideas?
While there may not be official support for a phone for a custom ROM, you may be able to find unofficial ports/versions if you search for it in the forums.
From what I know, a system reinstall via official methods wipes data and almost everything else, then downloads from its servers system files to be installed to the phone. At least, my phone was reverted to a stock ROM when I restored it after using a custom ROM. It may be different for some, but generally, this is what I think.
Important: only use a ROM made for your device model only, do not use the ones made for a similar phone, the small differences are no longer small in this case and will cause a system error(?)
Generally, once you have successfully unlocked boot loader using a method for your phone, the instructions afterwards are generally the same for all phones. You'll be able to get better answers in the threads specifically for your phone, so try to look for one and look for the already tried methods,
Here's one:

Well, the same problem persists on my phone as well. Whenever I change the hosts file by removing the additional line, it saves but after some time it comes again and I have to remove it again and again!

Hi,
I'm actually trying to port Firefox OS 2.1 on the Nexus 7 2013 (aka "flo"), and after managed to download and compile the sources, I am facing a problem at the last step. Instead of flashing Firefox OS on my Nexus via the conventional method (using flash.sh), I would like to create a recovery-flashable zip file (as is often seen with custom ROMs). However, I have no idea how to build one, and the analysis of some zip files does not really helped me to understand which files to include and which script to write.
Here are the files generated by the build: http :// i.imgur.com / MgobUsp.png
If anyone could help me and explain me how to create that famous zip file ^^.
In advance,
thank you
Nobody? :-/

Due to a large project that came my way at work, I've been unable to work on this however I hope to in a few weeks after we demo our new apps. If you want to check mine out it's here http://goo.gl/gioiDv however the only real issue with mine which is quite fixable was that I used the wrong version of the Gaia, and webapps. You can use mine as a template really, here is how:
1. Build FF OS
2. Now when building ( I am going from memory here so ask if you ha e questions), pass the argument otapackage and you'll get a "flashable" update.zip in your out dir.
3. Find either a fully built version of ff for any device but make sure its the same version, OR build Gaia yourself, see the official docs for how to do that as they explain it very well.
4. From that you go through the output and find the webapps dir.
5. Copy webapps to your built otapckage at /system/b2g/webapps.
6. Now I'd use either my update script from the link I gave you (after looking through and updating anything that needs updated because mine is a few months old.) Make sure there is nothing in there about formatting data or anything (cause you don't want to lose that!) And after repackaging (use a kitchen or whatever method you prefer), you'll have a flashable Firefox zip.
Its a process so use a little trial and error and you'll overcome any issues you find. Any questions let me know.

Don't waste your time creating such a zip file, just use fastboot to flash the various IMG compiled files.
I've been using CM12.1 for couple of months, love it. Found some bugs and waited a few nightlies (few weeks per "nightly") and after that tried to make a bug report.... not accepted, because CM12.1 is not developed anymore. CM13 is not available for Z2, so I tried to build CM13 myself, following the guide found on cyanogenmod site. Sorry, as a new member, can't link that URL here... It fails... I have gone past that point to extract the proprietary "blobs" from my phone (running the mentioned CM12.1) and tried again the breakfast sirius command. I'm unable to paste results here, because being a new member... look the result from pastebin com with /mwBfxHEL behind the URL...
The reason seems obvious, missing that msm8974-common-vendor.mk file. Can't find it on my computer using "locate". Can't find it using google. Don't know how to fix this or get past this... Any help appreciated!
Nobody has build CM13 for Z2???
The issue you are describing likely results from the blob extraction for msm8974-common not operating correcty: Please execute (or re-execute) the extraction scrip in this folder of the device tree as well (should be device/sony/msm8974-common). Could you paste the output after running that script, please?

OK, that advice helped. Tried 'breakfast sirius' again, it went longer, complained about something missing in shinano-common folder. Used your approach again and got past that one too. After that, 'breakfast sirius' succeeded. I tried 'brunch sirius' and it failed. Tried it again, it got longer before failing again... did "while [ $? -ne 0 ]; do !! done" to try building until it succeeds. After quite a while, I stopped it, ran brunch sirius command and copied the output to pastebin.
Take a look at pastebin.com/Qz4hq1aZ
Something about libta.so?

Should I extract the blobs from a Z2 with OEM firmware? I vaguely remember that TA refers to something to do with DRMs that you lose when you unlock the phone to be able to install other firmwares...
Sorry for the delay.
This is an issue with the vendor files. I think that th extrction scripts are somewhat outdated, or didn't the extraction script didn't find some files. There should be a repo on github which should provide you with the needed files. Another possibility would be to extract and mount the system image of a stock and let the script process these files (there is a cmdline switch for pointing the script to it: please have a look into this script for the according switch).
Hope this helps.

OK, found the repo. Got all the files, got the build to succeed! Thank you very much! Just few more questions... There is not just one zip file in the directory... which one to install? How do I install the zip file the build created? Perhaps via booting to recovery and installing it from there? And how does it behave? Like a upgrade, or a clean install?
Hi,
I own a Pono player, which is great when it comes to sound, but has a crappy firmware.
On early versions, it seems that debugging was easier (https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...-file-1-0-3-gingerbread-complete-rom.2967757/) but since version 1.0.6 everything is locked (or I'missing something.. how did they extract logs, ROMs, etc?).
So my idea is to craft a fake update file in order to re-enable adb, push a new main app, etc.
The upgrade process works as follow:
- Connect the PonoPlayer and put a "pono_1.0.6.update" file on the /.pono/ directory
- Craft a firmware.xml file which is supposed to contain the current firmware version: set it to 1.0.5
- Disconnect the Pono, it now thinks it' in version 1.0.5 and an upgrade to 1.0.6 is available.
Internally, the main Pono app scans the .pono/ folder and calls RecoverySystem.verifyPackage.
This works just fine: the device updates again to version 1.0.6.
Now I want to modify this update file and I still have no success even with a simple unpack/repack, without touching anything, thus not altering signatures.
I've tried to unpack/repack using apktool ("apktool d pono_1.0.6.update" + "apktool b pono_1.0.6.update.out") but the firmware update fails (stucked at 0%, and according to the app code that's what happens when an unexpected exception occurs).
I've tried to re-sign it (PonoPlayer is using the android testkey) with no more success.
How is it that a simple unpack/repack creates an apk with seems wrong is some ways?
Thanks for any help, I'm quite stucked..

Hi, I inadvertently wiped ny pono player, so now no music shows on player or the SD card. I formatted the internal memory when I was supposed to format the SD card. I am sure the player will now be unusable. Is this right ?
