My contribution to Bin4ry tool (aka Root MANY ANDROID! post) - Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking

Note to moderation team: I wanted to post my contribution directly into the author's thread but I'm not allowed to do so.
If my post is right, maybe you could merge my post with the original discussion.
Hi everyone,
I'd like to to provide my feedback regarding the following tool written by Bin4ry.
Tool is available here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1886460
First of all, I'd like to thank Bin4ry for his job, because with the help of his tool, I have successfully rooted my noname (*) tablet, running ICS 4.0.4.
However, it did not work out at the very first try: the tool said everything went fine but after reboot, my tablet was still not rooted.
Actually, I entered the guts of Bin4ry's script, and find out this trick.
The original script contains this section:
Code:
:NORMAL
IF %ric% == 1 GOTO RICSTUFF
echo Going to copy files to it's place
stuff\adb.exe shell "/data/local/tmp/busybox mount -o remount,rw /system && /data/local/tmp/busybox mv /data/local/tmp/su /system/xbin/su && /data/local/tmp/busybox mv /data/local/tmp/Superuser.apk /system/app/Superuser.apk && /data/local/tmp/busybox cp /data/local/tmp/busybox /system/xbin/busybox && chown 0.0 /system/xbin/su && chmod 06755 /system/xbin/su && chmod 655 /system/app/Superuser.apk && chmod 755 /system/xbin/busybox && rm /data/local.prop && reboot"
GOTO FINISH
Actually, I think that the command "/data/local/tmp/busybox" is missing at some locations.
So I rewrote the script as follows and got my tablet rooted !!
Code:
:NORMAL
IF %ric% == 1 GOTO RICSTUFF
echo Going to copy files to it's place
stuff\adb.exe shell "/data/local/tmp/busybox mount -o remount,rw /system"
stuff\adb.exe shell "/data/local/tmp/busybox mv /data/local/tmp/su /system/xbin/su"
stuff\adb.exe shell "/data/local/tmp/busybox mv /data/local/tmp/Superuser.apk /system/app/Superuser.apk"
stuff\adb.exe shell "/data/local/tmp/busybox cp /data/local/tmp/busybox /system/xbin/busybox"
stuff\adb.exe shell "/data/local/tmp/busybox chown 0.0 /system/xbin/su"
stuff\adb.exe shell "/data/local/tmp/busybox chmod 06755 /system/xbin/su"
stuff\adb.exe shell "/data/local/tmp/busybox chmod 655 /system/app/Superuser.apk"
stuff\adb.exe shell "/data/local/tmp/busybox chmod 755 /system/xbin/busybox"
stuff\adb.exe shell "/data/local/tmp/busybox rm /data/local.prop"
stuff\adb.exe shell "/data/local/tmp/busybox reboot"
GOTO FINISH
Note: I'm typing from memory because sadly, I erased my own modified file hope I'm not typing too much stupid things because my memory might play me some tricks. But the general idea is here.
Said differently, I simply added the command "busybox" before "chmod" and "chown" commands.
Don't ask me why but it did work. Actually, I discovered this trick by typing the aformentionned commands one a time and find out that simply chmoding a file did not actually change its properties.
I did not rewritte the entire script, but it might be necessary to add the "busybox" command prior to any other "chmod" or "chown" commands (in the ":RICSTUFF" for instance. My tablet did not require to enter this section so I did not bother modify it).
Hope this trick will help someone. If someone finds out it solves its issue, it might be useful to modify Bin4ry's script in a next version of the tool.
(*) more precisely, my tablet is a Finetech by Akor, model TG166.

Want to try to use this method to root Docomo P-02E but something concern.
If rooting is not success, it must be kept unrooted. But will it brick the phone?
Thank you and regards,

[Q] Convert ADB to Terminal Emulator code

Hey all,
Just wondering what the conversion code for Terminal Emulator would be in order to perform an ADB code, i have tried to convert the code myself below and want to be sure it is ok.
Basic objective is to copy the file gps.conf from /sdcard/code/ to /system/etc/ directly using Terminal Emulator on my Desire HD (Froyo 2.2 firmware 1.32....)
CMD prompt:
adb push psneuter /data/local/tmp
adb push misc_version /data/local/tmp
adb shell chmod 777 /data/local/tmp/psneuter
adb shell chmod 777 /data/local/tmp/misc_version
adb shell /data/local/tmp/psneuter
adb shell
mount -o remount,rw /dev/block/mmcblk0p25 /system
exit
adb push gps.conf /system/etc/gps.conf
adb shell
mount -o remount,ro /dev/block/mmcblk0p25 /system
exit
TEmu:
chdir /sdcard/code
cp psneuter /data/local/tmp
cp misc_version /data/local/tmp
chmod 777 /data/local/tmp/psneuter
chmod 777 /data/local/tmp/misc_version
chdir /data/local/tmp/psneuter
mount -o remount,rw /dev/block/mmcblk0p25 /system
cp /sdcard/code/gps.conf /system/etc/
mount -o remount,ro /dev/block/mmcblk0p25 /system
NOTE: that when i tried cp psneuter /data/local/tmp or even cp psneuter /sdcard it says cp: permission denied
Cheers
if all you want to do is copy the file...then whats the point of all of that??!!
im guessing that your not rooted, since your doing some code from the downgrade thread that gives temp root.
But the whole point of that code is to get temp root for FW greater than 1.32.
Since you want 1.32, use a program called Visionary+ and click temproot is you want temporary root. (Visionary+ only works till 1.32 FW)
And you wont be able to copy to a file to the system partition if your not in root mode.
So in the terminal, type
>su
first thing, then carry on.
If you get a # instead of the $ then your in root mode, if not (or if a message appears) then you dont have permission to go into root mode(or your not rooted).
---and i dont think theres any point of the chdir command.
::::::::::But if you want to use that code, then it'll work if you type 'su' first.

[Q] How do I UNroot if rooted (zeronull method) but no custom recovery installed

I rooted my A100 a few weeks ago, but have now decided to sell it and upgrade to newer tablet. I used Zeronull's batch file/method, and DID NOT install any sort of custom recovery. I've searched and searched, and the best advice I could find was to reflash a stock firmware using the Power/VolumeUp recovery method. I tried using "Acer_AV041_A100_0.002.00_WW_GEN1.zip" (renamed to "update.zip" on my microSD) but only quickly get the dead Android with the red triangle (w/exclamation point). I tried 2 different microSD cards (and 2 different downloads) just to make sure that wasn't the issue.
Is there a way (thru ADB or manual steps using root explorer) to "unwind" what Zeronull's batch file does? Worst case, I can do a Factory Reset and just sell it as "rooted", but I'd really prefer to have the thing back to true "stock" for the potential buyer. However, the LAST thing I want to do at this point is to take any unnecessary risks and brick the thing!
FWIW, this recertified A100 shipped with ICS 4.0.3. -- the Build number in my "Settings" screen shows "Acer_AV041_A100_1.015.00_PA_CUS1" and the Image version shows "Acer_AV041_A100_RV02RC01_PA_CUS1".
Thanks in advance!
delroot.sh -- is that my answer?
After looking at the shell scripts in zeronull's package, I see that there is a "delroot.sh" script that gets copied to /data/local/tmp. Do I just need to run this (via ADB or terminal emulator)? Could it be that easy (i.e. to run this, and then do a Factory Reset)?
Here's the script:
toolbox mount -o remount, rw /system/
rm /system/bin/mount
ln -s /system/bin/toolbox /system/bin/mount
/data/local/tmp/busybox cp /system/xbin/dexdump /data/local/tmp/dexdump
/data/local/tmp/busybox cp /system/xbin/tcpdump /data/local/tmp/tcpdump
rm /system/xbin/*
/data/local/tmp/busybox cp /data/local/tmp/dexdump /system/xbin/dexdump
/data/local/tmp/busybox cp /data/local/tmp/tcpdump /system/xbin/tcpdump
rm /data/local/tmp/tcpdump /data/local/tmp/dexdump
rm -r /system/sbin/
rm /system/bin/su
Sure looks like this would work (I'd also get rid of /data/local/tmp, since it was created in the initial runit-win.bat process)! Again, thanks for any advice...

Thatll do it for sure though deleting that dir by hand after losing root will likely fail. Perhaps add the in to the script right after dexdump deletion. It won't really matter though.

Busybox command softlinker

Have busybox? Wish you could type "grep foo" instead of "busybox grep foo" ? This simple shell script checks your busybox for supported commands and softlinks them from /system/bin to wherever the first busybox it finds in the $PATH is.
Since I screwed up my links a couple times making this, there's also a script that strips every link to busybox out of /system/bin.
These scripts do basically no error checking. They require root access, but they don't check for it. If you don't know how to read a script to see what it does before you run it, don't run it.
That said, it's handy.
Code:
#!/system/bin/sh
# linky.sh: softlink busybox to all the commands it supports
# Now with zero error checking! Beware :P
# -speef
busybox &>/dev/null || exit 1
bbl=`busybox which busybox`
ready=0
busybox mount -o rw,remount /system
>./linky.log
for cmd in `busybox`
do
cmd=`echo $cmd|busybox awk -F, '{print $1}'`
if [ $ready -eq 0 ]
then
if [ $cmd == "functions:" ]
then
ready=1
continue
else
continue
fi
fi
echo ln -s $bbl /system/bin/$cmd
busybox ln -s $bbl /system/bin/$cmd &>> linky.log
done
busybox mount -o ro,remount /system
echo "see ./linky.log for errors!"
And its counterpart, which removes all links to busybox from /system/bin:
Code:
#!/system/bin/sh
# delinky.sh: remove all busybox links from /system/bin
# Now with zero error checking! Beware :P
# -speef
busybox &>/dev/null || exit 1
busybox mount -o rw,remount /system
for cmd in `busybox find /system/bin -type l -exec ls -l \{\} \; | busybox grep busybox|busybox awk '{print $6}'`
do
echo rm /system/bin/$cmd
busybox rm /system/bin/$cmd
done
busybox mount -o ro,remount /system

[Q] Reading usb drive in cmw and in adbfire.

The first question I am not sure can be done but if it can I would like to know how. When applying prerooted firmwares in cmw recovery is it possible for it to look on mounted usb storage? I see the usb storage folder but when I click it is always empty so to install new firmware I have to transfer it to the internal sd of the fire tv first.
Secondly there is an option in the adb fire program where it asks if the firmware you want to install is located on a usb storage. Everytime I try to use this feature it can't find the drive or it finds the drive but does not see the firmware I have on it and again I have to transfer it to the unit.
Thanks in advance for the help.

I'd be interested in knowing more about your issue with adbFire not finding a drive. This is the first report I've seen of that. Regarding firmware installs...From adbFire's Help system:
Install AFTV firmware
Install firmware to AFTV. Upgrade (or downgrade) your AFTV firmware. This works for firmware on a mounted USB drive/stick and for firmware on your PC. When updating firmware from USB storage, adbFire looks on all devices for files with an extension of ".bin" or ".zip" and presents them for your choice.
Installing firmware from a usb stick/drive is nearly twice as fast as installing a firmware file located on your PC or LAN.
Please note that installation of firmware via Amazon's Native Recovery (this method) has been effectively obsoleted with the availibility of ClockworkMod, compiled for the Fire TV by [email protected]
IMPORTANT: Do not attempt to install custom Clockwork Mod firmware via Amazon Native Recovery. It will not work!

Yes I have tried both .zip and .bin but had no luck. The farthest I have gotten is I mount the drives via adbfirm and it will recognize a drive then tell me there is no firmware on the drive. Could it be the brand of usb stick I am using or does it need to be a powered usb?

If the drive is mounted, the linux find command should locate any *.bin or *.zip files, your brand or hub won't have any effect. I'm mainly replying to let you know I've read your post -- I won't have access to my rooted ftv until Monday morning at the earliest. It would also be helpful to see a log captured after you attempt to find firmware on your mounted drive. You should see something in the log like this:

"./adb" shell su -c find /storage/usb -name *.bin -o -name *.zip

How would I go about capturing a log for you. Also just curious about my first question I wasn't sure is it possible to read a mounted usb in the custom recovery menu or must the fire tv be fully booted.
Also.. not sure if this helps but when I mount the usb stick using stick mount on the fire tv it does not give me the error of nothing found but the select firmware menu comes up and this is the only choice I have available "sh: find: not found"

None of my comments apply when booted to a custom recovery, you need to check with rbox for that.
adbFire logs are found using the File-View Log menu command. The various non-Kodi commands also require my busybox and the various support scripts, aka System Tools; I don't support busybox from other sources. I also ask that you be using the current version of adbFire when seeking support, currently 1.22.

The find command is missing. Install System Tools. This will install busybox as mentioned above, which will give you find.
The Install Firmware command should check for System Tools and warn you if they are missing. That will be fixed in the next update.

I just noticed you're not using adbFire to mount your drive; I can't support stickmount, sorry. If you can change your mount location to be under /storage/usb it might work, idk. I know it does work with System Tools installed and adbFire mounting the usb drives.
I used adb Fire to mount my drive originally and it gives me the message that no firmwares are on the drive. Here is a log of me mounting in adb fire succesfully but then it unable to find the file.

Sorry, I can't duplicate your error on a clean system, with System Tools installed , multiple drives mounted with firmware sitting on each, just for purposes of testing. All firmwares were found, every time. The find command is pretty straightforward.
You may have some weird edge case I've overlooked in code, but I'd need to see a log from a clean system w/o third-party busybox, mount tools, etc. If we can spotlight a bug, I'd be happy to fix it.

I tried this when i first unboxed the unit and was unable to get it to read anything could it be the way I have the usb stick formatted or the way the zip file is named?

adbFire drive mount supports vfat,ex-fat,ext2-4,hpfs+ and ntfs. Install Firmware will find files with embedded spaces ,e.g. "test file.zip" or "test file.bin" but not "test file zip" or "test file bin".

my stick is a fat32 and the files is named update.zip so it should work?... The weird thing is it seems to get farther when I mount it using stick mount (it brings up a menu) then it does when I mount in adb fire although I have yet to get either method to work. I am gonna restore one a little later and do everything from adbfire and see if I can get you a log or mabye it will work.
Ok so I started from scratch and I am having the same issue here is the log.. I notice it saying the mount is busy I am not sure what that means.... I also installed es file explorer and I do not see the mounted usb storage anywhere on the sdcard even after it says it has mounted succesfully.
