[How-to] Unbrick soft brick - LG Nitro HD

I successfully followed itiskonrad instructions how to brick your phone by copying framework-res.apk with ES Explorer.
The result was a soft brick, when phone would freeze at LG logo.
Hopefully at that point it can be accessed from PC with adb.
So here are the steps I took to unbrick it
Before you start, have a copy of working framework-res.apk in C:\ (path doesn't matter as long as you change it at command below:
1) re-root with SuperOneClick (v2.3.1.0). I had to do this because su command would fail.
2) open cmd and type in: adb shell it should show you either $ or # before the cursor. (how to install adb you can find on google)
3) type (each line separate command which you must finish by hitting ENTER key):
su
mount -oremount,rw /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system
exit
exit
adb push "C:\framework-res.apk" /system/framework-res.apk
adb reboot

[Q] ADB: permission denied

I have used ADB in the past on my G1 and am now running into a problem on my G2. When I try to push a file to the SD card I get "permission denied". Any ideas?
example:
C:\android-sdk-windows\tools>adb shell
$ adb push su /sdcard/su
adb push su /sdcard/su
adb: permission denied
You need to go to the VISIONary when it show "permission deniedArrow", it will pop up something, choose "allow"
Are you sure I need root to push a file? In this guide to perm root (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=834228) the first step is to disable or uninstall visionary.
I figured it out. You don't need to "adb shell" first
When I try to adb remount , I get a return of "remount failed: operation not permitted" does anyone no how to get adb to remount, I firtst run adb devices , and my phone serial number comes up but cant remount, can someone please help me get past this.
Lol u need to Su first after adb shell I see that u don't have a #

The solution is to start ADB in root mode in command prompt...
Steps I did with my Galaxy S to add an App:
1. Connect phone to computer via USB in Debug Mode
2. Load command prompt and type: adb root
3. set read/write for system folder:
adb shell
su
Then type mount and find the location of system folder, in this case for me it's /dev/block/stl9
mount -o remount,rw /dev/block/stl9 /system
exit
exit
4. set your cmd prompt to folder where you have files to push/move onto phone i.e. f:\app or etc using f: and cd app for example
5. then to copy files to system/app folder by typing type: adb push <appfilename>.apk /system/app
Voila!
To remove an app do the following: adb shell rm /system/app/YourApplicationHere.apk
Simples
As a noob it took some time to figure this out with some help here and reading the help info after typing adb in prompt and the Eureka! moment came...
Hope this helps

[GUIDE][MAC] How to Unlock and Root the Xoom with a Mac

This is a super simple method taken from Arcadia 310 on another thread.
This is assuming you have The Android SDK already installed and updated.
Download these files XoomRoot.zip HERE
and FASTBOOT for MAC - HERE
Unzip both archives into your ~/sdk/platform-tools folder.
I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR YOU SCREWING UP YOUR DEVICE, THIS IS VOIDING YOUR WARRANTY ANYWAYS. HIT ME UP ON TWITTER OR HERE IF YOU NEED HELP OR HAVE QUESTION. ON TO DIRECTIONS.
Follow these steps: (After you have unzipped into your folder)
1. Follow the pre requisites above.
2. Open a terminal (located in the utilities folder)
3. Navigate to your sdk/platform-tools folder
Example: "cd /home/b16/Desktop/sdk/platform-tools" (no quotes)
4. Type "./adb devices" and make sure your Xoom shows up on the list.
This command will show you if your device is connected to the Android Debug Bridge.
5. Now type in "./adb reboot bootloader" (You can skip the next 3 steps if you’ve unlocked with fastboot previously)
This will reboot your device into bootloader mode accepting fastboot commands.
6. I had to type "chmod 755 fastboot" first to get it to execute.
This will change the permissions of the FASTBOOT BINARY so it can execute.
7. Now type in "./fastboot oem unlock" and choose to unlock it. (wait for reboot)
This will make your device "Hackable" and will VOID your warranty, you can re-lock it later if you like using another guide on this forum. Located HERE.
8. Once it has rebooted type "adb reboot bootloader" and hit enter.
Now you are going back into bootloader mode to finish the job.
9. Once in bootloader mode type "./fastboot flash boot rootboot.img"
This is going to flash the boot image needed to have root working properly within the system.
10. Type "./fastboot reboot" (wait for reboot)
command wil now boot you back into Android.
11. Type "./adb remount"
We are now mounting the system partition in order to push the Super User binary.
12. Type "./adb push su /system/bin"
Does what it says. Pushes binary to system folder.
13. Type "./adb shell" You should now see a "#" sign.
This will put you into a root shell to change the permissions of files in the next step.
14. Type "chmod 4755 /system/bin/su"
You just changed the permissions of the super user binary to run properly.
15. Type "exit".
You will now be back in your home terminal ready to push the Super User Apk.
16. Type "./adb push Superuser.apk /system/app"
You should now have root acces! Enjoy!
Thanks for posting this. Another thing I did, because I use ADB quite frequently, was add the SDK tools to my path. For those that need help, it looks something like this:
Open Terminal and type echo 'export PATH=~/Downloads/android-sdk-mac_x86/tools:$PATH' >> ~/.profile
This only works if your SDK folder is in your Downloads folder inside your Home folder.
The next time you open a Terminal window, you can simply type adb remount or whatever you need without having to add the ./
Another bonus is this makes it much easier to keep kernels, ROMs, and modules out of your SDK tools folder, where they do not belong.
First off thanks for doing this... I figured out my n1 and I can do this too... I'm stuck at the chmod 775 line... I enter that command and its like I didn't enter it... after I proceed to fast boot OEM unlock it tells me that it can't be executed .. what am I doing wrong... God I hate being noobed out... I'm so close!!!

OK, thanks for the initial post and outstanding directions. I've updated what you listed based on what I have seen on my mac. I've just been through this process now and everything is working great. I hope this helps.
1. Follow the pre requisites above.
* I also had to download the fastboot-mac file from the HTC site- http://developer.htc.com/adp.html​
2. Open a terminal (located in the utilities folder)
3. Navigate to your sdk/platform-tools folder
Example: "cd /home/b16/Desktop/sdk/platform-tools" (no quotes)
4. Type "./adb devices" and make sure your Xoom shows up on the list.
This command will show you if your device is connected to the Android Debug Bridge.
goonmac-2: platform-tools goon$ ./adb devices
List of devices attached
028040c743e111d7 device​
5. Now type in "./adb reboot bootloader" (You can skip the next 3 steps if you’ve unlocked with fastboot previously)
This will reboot your device into bootloader mode accepting fastboot commands.
FYI - your xoom will just say "Starting..." but it is ready to accept the next step.​
6. I had to type "chmod 755 fastboot" first to get it to execute.
This will change the permissions of the FASTBOOT BINARY so it can execute.
7. Now type in "./fastboot oem unlock" and choose to unlock it. (wait for reboot)
This will make your device "Hackable" and will VOID your warranty, you can re-lock it later if you like using another guide on this forum. Located HERE.
goonmac-2: platform-tools goon$ ./fastboot-mac oem unlock
... INFO To continue, follow instructions on the device's display...
OKAY​
8. Once it has rebooted type "adb reboot bootloader" and hit enter.
Now you are going back into bootloader mode to finish the job.
*after the reboot, initially, I got this error:
goonmac-2: platform-tools goon$ ./adb reboot bootloader
error: device not found
when the reboot completes, you will come to the original setup screen. it is worth noting that you need to select the language and follow the on screen directions. Re-enter your account information etc. When you get to the desktop, your device will then be re-seen by your mac.​
9. Once in bootloader mode type "./fastboot flash boot rootboot.img"
This is going to flash the boot image needed to have root working properly within the system.
* Again, need to use the fastboot-mac:
goonmac-2: platform-tools goon$ ./fastboot-mac flash boot rootboot.img
sending 'boot' (2902 KB)... OKAY
writing 'boot'... OKAY​
10. Type "./fastboot reboot" (wait for reboot)
command wil now boot you back into Android.
* Again, need to use the fastboot-mac:
goonmac-2: platform-tools goon$ ./fastboot-mac reboot
rebooting... ​
11. Type "./adb remount"
We are now mounting the system partition in order to push the Super User binary.
no issues
goonmac-2: platform-tools goon$ ./adb remount
remount succeeded​
12. Type "./adb push su /system/bin"
Does what it says. Pushes binary to system folder.
no issue
goonmac-2: platform-tools goon$ ./adb push su /system/bin
701 KB/s (26336 bytes in 0.036s)​
13. Type "./adb shell" You should now see a "#" sign.
This will put you into a root shell to change the permissions of files in the next step.
no issue
goonmac-2: platform-tools goon$ ./adb shell​
14. Type "chmod 4755 /system/bin/su"
You just changed the permissions of the super user binary to run properly.
no issue
# chmod 4755 /system/bin/su​
15. Type "exit".
You will now be back in your home terminal ready to push the Super User Apk.
16. Type "./adb push Superuser.apk /system/app"
no issue
goonmac-2: platform-tools goon$ ./adb push Superuser.apk /system/app
1137 KB/s (196521 bytes in 0.168s)​
still stuck at same step, after ./adb reboot fastboot i cant go any farther, the xoom just isnt connected to recieve and additional commands, heres a copy n paste from my terminal...

any help/suggestions?
Are you using the Mac fastboot binary? I'm not by my computer right now, but I believe the Mac version is called fastboot-mac by default. Download it, make sure it's executable (chmod 755 fastboot-mac), then try fastboot-mac oem unlock. After you run adb reboot bootloader, you will lose your ADB connection, and your Xoom won't display anything but the boot logo and something about starting fastboot. This is your cue to unlock. Hope this helps.

For some respason I didnt realize the difference between the two fastboots until he mentioned that and thankfully your ad was right above with the link to htc thanks to you guys im now have rooted and unlocked and overclocked my xoom and its incredible now! Thanks for the patience with me
I did a video that was done on my MAC in the MAC OS. If anyone wants a more visual way to see how this is performed. I follow all these steps exactly. I show how I set my environment PATH, and this actually is what tripped me up, because my user profile wasn't looking at the PATHs I originally setup, but all that is required is entering
echo 'export PATH=xyz:$PATH' >> ~/.bash_profile (this whole line )
Where 'xyz' is your path to the android-sdk/platform-tools/ from the root of your Hard Drive, for most Macs it should be ' /Users/[Ur User Name]/android-sdk/platform-tools '

I also have a WiFi Xoom Video Tutorial available available as well. Check it out.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zC6J-hV6SM4
I try to go over common hiccups that I have seen some users have come across as well in the video.
I'm getting the following error:
./fastboot-mac flash boot rootboot.img
sending 'boot' (2902 KB)... ERROR: usb_write failed with status e00002ed
FAILED (data transfer failure (No such file or directory))
fastboot-mac is chmod 755, rootboot.img is there, alongside it, I'm in as root and it's still failing for me.
Edit: Nevermind. Right after pulling the reboot before the rootboot.img - or boot.img for wifi users - immediately go into the aforesaid command and it should work just fine.
Took me a couple of times.
Can you unroot on mac?

Maybe this can help for rooting the new sbf

1. How can I root my phone?
1.1 General information/Basic adb-commands
Rooting a phone enables you to do things, which normally aren't possible for the average user like:
- Removing apps which were preinstalled by the provider (like Orange, Vodafone, etc.). My Tattoo had Vodafone apps for buying music and other sh*t, which was installed on the system partition (to which a "normal" user has no rights to write to, including deleting).
The Tattoo was successfully rooted by a bunch of guys here, namely -bm-, mainfram3 and Coburn64 (maybe, I don't remember quite correctly ). Also the Tattoo was the first phone having a security mechanism hindering a user to mount the filesystems as read/write, which had to be overridden by remapping the read only memory region to a read/write one. This is done by the module Tattoo-hack.ko, also made by mainfram3. He also created the first boot.img, which enabled su directly from adb and loading Tattoo-hack directly from boot on.
A few words about adb:
ADB is a tool for communicating from the PC with the mobile phone. For this a service is running on the phone enabling the communication via Terminal Emulator. Here are the most useful adb-commands:
Code:
adb push localFileFromPC /path/on/mobilephone
-> pushes a file "localFileFromPC" to a specified location on the phone
adb pull /path/to/file pathFromPC
-> receives a file from the phone and stores it to "pathFromPC"
adb remount
-> This is only possible in custom ROMs, remounts the file system to r/w automatically
adb shell "command"
-> executes "command" and returns to the computer shell
adb shell
-> opens a shell session on the phone (from here on you have to be very careful! Also you can execute now normal linux commands like rm, mv, ls, chmod and so on, but not cp (this can done through busybox)). You will have to use this more often, so get used to it
1.2 Do I have to create a goldcard?
I read this question quite often. For rooting, you don't need it, but for SIM-locked phones you can't flash custom unbranded ROMs (I think).
A guide to create a goldcard follow this link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...88&postcount=1 (thanks to MiSSigNNo to this point)
1.3 Tools you need
A complete set of tools can be found here Feel free to mirror it:
http://rapidshare.com/files/403766494/Tattoo.rar.html
Mirror(s):
http://www.bild-ton.net/Tattoo.rar
http://www.megaupload.com/?d=CI9AW83F
This package contains:
- adb binaries for Windows (sorry Linux users )
- su (Please note: use the su-binary attached in this post, not the one in the archive!!!!!)
- m7 exploit
- Amon_RA recovery.img
- mainfram3 boot.img
- flash_image binary
- tattoo-hack.ko
1.4 The automated way
This method was created by maverixx and can be found here. This basically consists of a package doing everything you need by itself. It roots the phone and flashes maverixx recovery.img, which (no offense) I don't like as much as I like Amon_RA's one!). Just click the batchfile and it does the rest (you have to connect your phone via USB to your PC though ).
If you want to use the automated way, but flashing Amon_RA's recovery, just replace the recovery.img from maverixx' package with the recovery.img provided in my archive file (see 1.3 for the link).
In my time here I noticed quite a few users experiencing problems either with a fully functional su or with the recovery image not flashing certain update.zip packages. It seems to be a matter of luck.
1.5 The manual way (recommended by the author)
I personally like what is done when and how, that's why I recommend the manual way. So let's get down to business Let's see if you know all the adb-commands I wrote here:
1. Let's say you have everything unpacked into C:\Tattoo
2. In your terminal (on your PC) type:
- adb shell "mkdir /data/local/bin" (if it returns an error it means that the directory already exists, just proceed)
- adb push m7 /data/local/bin/
- adb push su /data/local/bin/
- adb push flash_image /data/local/bin/
- adb push tattoo-hack.ko /data/local/bin/
- adb push recovery.img /sdcard
- adb push boot.img /sdcard
3. We have every needed file on the phone now. Type now (we are still in your terminal):
- adb shell
$ cd /data/local/bin
$ chmod 766 m7 (I don't retain this step as mandatory, so if this process fails, just proceed)
$ while ./m7 ; do : ; done
lots of text until you see something like "wrote shell code", press enter 2 or 3 times enter to see:
#
4. Then perform this:
- # export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/system/lib
- # export PATH=/system/bin
- # insmod ./tattoo-hack.ko
- # mount -o rw,remount /dev/block/mtdblock5 /data
- # mount -o rw,remount /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system
- # cat ./su > /system/bin/su
- # chmod 4755 /system/bin/su
- # chmod 755 ./flash_image
Questions?
1.6 Problems and (hopefully good) solutions
Q: How do I execute my command line tool?
A: On your Windows host, go to Start->Run...->type "cmd"
Q: Where is my adb? When I type it in my shell it says that it was not found!
A: The adb binary is found in the archive I supplied above or in the Google SDK. As my archive-file is quite smaller than the Google SDK you should take mine. Let's suppose your adb binary is unpacked in C:\Tattoo, then type:
Code:
Your\Current\Location> cd C:\Tattoo
C:\Tattoo> adb <command>Q: adb says "error: device not found" when I try to launch the shell on the phone!
A: Connect the phone with the usb cable and make sure the sd card is not mounted as drive on your PC!!!
Q: When I want to copy something the phone returns that "cp" is not found! Also when I try to move a file, it says "cross-link device".
A: Well, copying from one partition to another is only possible either via busybox or via
Code:
cat file > /location/filename
Example:
cp /data/su /system/bin
is realized by typing
cat /data/su > /system/bin/suAlso make sure that system is r/w!!!
Q: flash_image returns write errors when flashing recovery/boot image!
A:
For boot: Try to redo the flash procedure
For recovery: Note that you can't flash the same recovery.img as the one already installed, so install another recovery.img first (like maverixx) and then Amon_RA's again. If it still doesn't work reboot, remount the partitions r/w, insmod tattoo-hack.ko and retry flashing.
Q: How can I unroot my device?
A: Just delete su from /system/xbin and restore the old boot.img. Alternatively see here for retrieving a stock ROM to flash it on your phone.
i hope someone try this i don't have time

HELP!!!! Cannot update FTV manually

Tried these steps
Connect to your Fire TV using ADB

Run the command: chmod 777 /cache
Run the command: chmod 777 /cache/recovery
Run the command: cd /cache/recovery
Run the command: echo “--update_package=/cache/update.zip” > command

when you push a file with adb, the file must be in the same folder/path you're running the adb command from. From your example, you need update.zip on your PC at C:\users\Stevie G\platform-tools\
The error is saying the file isn't at that path.

Recovery Corrupt ?

Hi, i have firm 51.1.1.0 with root and busybox installed, and i'm trying to downgrade to version 51.1.0.2 but in the step 7 on the guide from AFTVNews
7. Run the command: chmod 777 /cache/recovery (HERE SAYS ME No such file or directory ! Already i'm follow whit the 2 commands to create the directory)
mkdir /cache/recovery ( HERE SAYS ME THE FILE ALREADY EXIST !! )
I Try to continue with the guide obviating the error but that not works...
I'm trying to make a factory reset whit te combinations of keys Alt + Print Screen + i and when the recovery screen appears the home button don't show me the options...
What is wrong here? Is a semi brick or what?
Thanks !!
If the mkdir /cache/recovery is exist then do next step chmod 777 /cache/recovery and do continue what the instruction tell you. (I copied from aftvnews (http://www.aftvnews.com/how-to-manually-upgrade-or-downgrade-the-amazon-fire-tv/)
If the Recovery corrupted then you can just insert new recovery image into recovery space and follow this instruction. it will fixes as long as you can able access root priviledge via ADB shell.
install Recovery image (http://www.aftvnews.com/how-to-install-clockworkmod-custom-recovery-on-the-amazon-fire-tv/)
Using DD command and make sure you put recovery.img in /sdcard before do this DD command (dd if=/sdcard/recovery.img of=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/recovery)
Hope it helps and let me know.
Code:
1. Run the command: adb shell
2. Run the command: su (If this is the first time you’ve ever run su, a pop-up will appear on the Fire TV, select Grant)
3. Run the command: chmod 777 /cache
4. Run the command: chmod 777 /cache/recovery (Note: If you see a message saying “No such file or directory”, then run the following two commands:)
5. mkdir /cache/recovery
6. chmod 777 /cache/recovery
7. Run the command: cd /cache/recovery
8. Run the command: echo –-update_package=/cache/update.zip > command

Hi, i have firm 51.1.1.0 with root and busybox installed, and i'm trying to downgrade to version 51.1.0.2 but in the step 7 on the guide from AFTVNews
7. Run the command: chmod 777 /cache/recovery (HERE SAYS ME No such file or directory ! Already i'm follow whit the 2 commands to create the directory)
mkdir /cache/recovery ( HERE SAYS ME THE FILE ALREADY EXIST !! )
I Try to continue with the guide obviating the error but that not works...
I'm trying to make a factory reset whit te combinations of keys Alt + Print Screen + i and when the recovery screen appears the home button don't show me the options...
