[QUESTION]App to Browse ROOT of the Phone in Windows ?

Hi every one
wondering if there was any app that would let us browse the Root of the phone in windows ,
Using ADB is quite hard i think ...
just want to remove an app , and add another one to /system/app
tried Root Explorer on the phone , but the deleted program magically reappears after a reboot
any help would be appreciated !
thanks !

Were you in Recovery when you attached via Root Explorer?
You can't delete anything from /system whilst the phone is fully booted due to the NAND protection.
Also, take a look at Android Commander.

Dave

thanks for the reply , but Adroid Commander Didnt solve my problem , it can't edit /system , since the phone is fully booted ( as u mentioned )
and no , i was not in recovery mode , since ROOT exploerer is installed on my phone , i have to boot it , to use it
thanks !

I thought you said you wanted a Windows app - Android Commander should work fine as long as you boot into Recovery.
There is currently *no* true solution for amending /system whilst the phone is booted, though some people are working on AUFS/UNIONFS workarounds which IMHO, are always going to be a suboptimal solution, and in most cases R/W access via Recovery is the better solution (things like Metamorph not withstanding!).
Regards,
Dave

yes , i need a program to edit /system on windows
i read on their webpage ( androidcommande.com ) that it needed USB Debugging to work correctly so i tried it with the phone on and bootedc , but didn;'t work and didn't change /system .
tried it on recovery , but the files are not displayed correclty , the folders are empty and some doesn't even show up
anyway thanks for ur time and answers
PS : tried ADB command but wthout any success

You have to mount the appropriate filesystem(s) from Recovery first!
If you are using ClockworkMod recovery, go into the partitions menu and select mount for any file systems you wish to access. Then connect via AndroidCommander and you'll be able to see the files.
Regards,
Dave

Thanks !
used Clockwork as u suggested , mont /system/ , then adb remount
Searched for some ADB tutorials and got it via the commands
was a bit confused bout "shell" or "not to shell "
but everything worked fine
Thanks again for all ur help !

DSP Manager: how to?

In several places in the forums I see DSP manager mentioned as a way to change the sound output from the phone.
It is possible to use the .apk file or flash the .zip file to a stock firmware that is rooted (no other changes), or does it have to be applied to a custom rom?
Ta.

Here you go...
http://www.multiupload.com/7VS5O9KKQ0
Flash as you would a ROM

Hmm, I flashed it and the settings appeared, but they seem to make no difference to the sound output!

Trying via headphones? As I doubt you'd notice from the internal speaker
Other than that I can't help, have no issues personally

Yep, trying via headphones. Seems to make no difference at all. I am running a stock rooted HTC Rom.

Hi, I flashed the DSP from recovery and rebooted. Installation was successful but I can't find the app anywhere in my phone? where do I see it?

For anyone else having this problem:
I didn't find the app I installed so I searched the net for other installation files, and found this:
h ttp://androidforums.com/1446319-post107.html
after I flashed this and rebooted, I got a 'force close' notification for the app. Than I went to /system/app/DSPManager.apk and installed it.
DSP Manager now working great ^^

I did as u said but it gives me a force close and when i try to install it i cant cause its already installed, cant uninstall it either, what should i do ? BTW I'm using AuraxTSense v7.4

did you install the one in the second post as well?
I'm using AuraxTSense 7.0

Yes, first I installed that one, it didn't work, then I installed the other. Is that the problem ? I thought so... so how should I fix it ?

good question..I'm not sure.. try installing the first again

Ok I did it, it removed the app from the app list. What now ? If I try installing it from /system/app it gives an error.

I don't know.. i just rebooted my device and it gave me the force close again. so I did what I did the previous time and ran that app from the location I wrote.. worked like a charm.. again..

I installed the other zip again, gave me a force close so went to system/app and tried to install it but I can't, only have the options uninstall and launch... No idea why is it working for you and not for me...
EDIT: Ok it works now, had to remove first the odex file and install the other zip again

Update DSP Manager
You can remove the DSPManager.apk file using the terminal emulator.
NOTE: You need to have a rooted phone, Superuser & Terminal emulator.
STEPS
1. Change to root user it is granted super-user permissions.
su -​2. Then change to the system app directory.
cd /system/app​3. Then move the DSPManager.apk to the tmp directory.
mv DSPManager.apk /tmp​4. Move the new apk file to the system app directory.
NOTE: Change to the directory where the DSPManager_1.0.apk is.
cp DSPManager_1.0.apk /system/app​5. Reboot the phone.
6. Check in the apps list and the new DSP Manager should be in there.
NOTE: If it all worked you can remove the DSPManager.apk from /tmp
rm /tmp/DSPManager.apk​
Attached is the version I use on my rooted HTC Desire.

In order to work, DSP Manager also needs a file called libaudioflinger.so in the /system/lib directory in addition to the apk.
The easy way to get this done is to use an update zip for DSP Manager. Get it from one of these links (all links from this page):

I don't think you can install the zip from Astro Explorer because it needs to copy files to the /system partition which is read-only when the phone is booted up. In other words, you must have a rooted phone to do this.
If you do have a rooted phone, then reboot into recovery mode and install the update.zip the usual way.
If you don't have a rooted phone, well that's a whole different story.

i , please help me.
I've installed it via recovery and I made backup with my original needly files: libaudioflinger and libaudio. Then i copied my files back (deleted new files and moved old files) . I restarted my phone and it didn't boot. Just show me the White window (T-mobile)... Can i repair my phone by myself? Please help me and sorry for my english.

I'm sorry I don't really understand the problem. Normally, installing the update.zip should be all that you need to do. I don't understand why you copied the old files back and were those two files the only files that you backed up?

[Q] Reinstall HTC Sense stock apps

Hello,
I've removed the Gallery app (com.htc.album.apk) using the Titanium backup 'cause I wanted to replace it with another one. I do have the backup, but when I do a restore it just does the circle with restore in progress forever. Is there a way to restore the Gallery?
The only reason why I want to restore is that when I use the HTC Sense apps which cooperate with Gallery (for example the Camera), when I want to see the photos the apps crash - I thought it would be possible to choose another app like QuickPic for this photo browsing, but apparently not. Therefore I would be very grateful if somebody knows how to restore the app.
The phone has s-off and is rooted.
Thank you very much.

SOLUTION
OK, I've found a way how to do it, so just want to share with others, in case anybody gets into the same kinda trouble as I did ;-)
The steps:
1. Download the zipped RUU of the stock ROM and extract the APK and ODEX files of the app you want to restore (HTCAlbum.apk and HTCAlbum.odex in my case)
2. Using Root Explorer (or some other tool that can write into /system/app) copy the apk and odex files into it.
3. Again using the same tool set the permissions of the 2 files to rw-r--r-- and set the owner and group to 0 - root (both user and group)
4. What I did now was try to Install the apk in the /system/app, but it failed, so probably this step is not needed - just put it here in order to reproduce exactly all steps.
5. Reboot the phone -> after the reboot the app should appear in the app drawer and all HTC stock apps now work with using the Gallery.
Please if you try this method, write down your comment, whether you succeeded or not.
Cheers and good luck...

Didn't work for me. Tried apk and odex gallery from newest ruu.

I also accidentally removed the Gallery (com.htc.album.apk), and I've found a way out to do it.
First to do :
> Install the latest Java JDK.
> Install HTC Sync & drivers.
> Install the Android SDK.
> Open SDK Manager after installing the Android SDK successfully.
> Install every 'Available Packages' in SDK Manager.
> Edit 'Path' in Environmental Variables and put this behind the line
Code:
;C:\android-sdk-windows\platform-tools
> Enable USB Debugging on your HTC.
And after all this above..
1 -Connect your Wildfire to the PC.
2 -Reboot into CWM Recovery.
3 -Go to Mounts and Storage.
4 -Select Mount /system.
Then use adb :
Oh and make sure the HTCAlbum.apk is in the same map as adb.exe
Code:
adb push HTCAlbum.apk /system/app
-MAKE SURE YOUR DEVICE IS S-OFF- Otherwise it won't work.

This doesn't need S-OFF. Just a Custom Recovery like Clockworkmod.

[TUTORIAL] ROOTING!!! Huawei Ascend P1 U9200 (B315 EmotionUI 1.5 JB v4.1.1)

Rooting Ascend P1 U9200 B315 EUI1.5 JB v4.1.1
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Anyone wanting to root there Ascend P1 U9200 phone after the new firmware update, here are the files, and info you need, to do so...
First off, plug UR phone in switch it on and let Windows search for the driver, Then click "Let me choose..." or "browse for it..." or similar. Then select "Let me choose which driver to install", then click "list of drivers" or similar, Then click the one near the top that has adb or similar in the title, it don't matter if you choose the wrong one, it just means it wont connect and you'll have to redo this part again and pick a different driver.
Remember!! You MUST run these commands as Administrator.
1. Download the files below, extract them to a folder, preferably one without any spaces in the path, i.e.. C:\U9200Root\ should do perfect.
3. Right Click the "Click-To-Root-U9200.bat" file and under compatibility options click run as administrator or the like.
4. Run (Double Click) the Click-To-Root-U9200.bat (As Administrator!) (or right-click then, "run as administrator...")
4. Reboot your fone and click yes on your fone to install SuperUser.
that's it, your rooted
for those wanting to do the commands there self...
1. Download & extract the files to C:\U9200Root\
2. In the CLI type: "C:\U9200Root\adb reboot bootloader"
3. Then "boot TWRP.img"
4. Then Restart your fone and choose yes to install SuperUser
PS if you've not got much space left in your system partition you may have to delete something from /system/app/ to make space for the SuperUser files.
REMEMBER the space reported on your fone by android is the space on your data partition/memory & sd card and not the system partition!
You can check how much system data etc space you have left from terminal if u have it installed, or on the TWRP recovery which you will have just installed.To do this, Reboot the fone holding the Vol. Up Button, click on advanced then terminal then type "df -h" without quotes if system partition is less than say 10-20mb free then delete maybe, uneeded languages?, chrome.apk?, GSM_Maps.apk? or the like, then reinstall them to the /data/app part later. Since many of these apks get updated and the old ones left undeleted in /system/app/ anyways, I always move the system apks updates from /data/app to /system/app/, makes things a lot tidier and saves a lot of space both in /data/app and /system by not having two of every apk file youve ever updated just remember to copy the libs to /system/lib(s)
Anyways hope I helped someone with this...
cheers John -G-
PS Please Click on Thanks to Thank me as i have 0 in my Thanks Meter lol
PS I moved this to here as it was added to the end of an old un-related topic sooo.... John -G-
ask me any questions you have, do you like my multi color dos txt in my bat file (Coders will get it,its unusual and very hard to do with many colors )
sorry for been so long but i never knew no one would move it or stick it ???? and i was in jail for a while there so,,,
...Good Luck Rooting/Moding!!!

Hi
After adb reboot bootloader you can also install CWM with fastboot :
fastboot flash recovery clockworkmod.XXXX.img
With CWM you can backup your phone (always a good idea )
After rebooted in CWM install SU with any zip file (ex : SU___Busybox_1.20.2_Flashable.zip )

How to remove TWRP...? I want to update U9200-EM-UMTS-V100R00G411D00B336....thanx in advance.

Stuck
My U9200 is just stuck on the HUAWEI logo when you boot it...
And the cmd application just keeps saying < waiting for device >
Any help is appreciated...

with B336 this method doesn't work.
EDIT:
The problem is not in TWRP or CWM; the problem is that there is not enough space in folder /system/app.
From TWRP I went to "Advanced" and then "file manager"; here from the /system/app I deleted all the languages ​​other than Italian-pack (my language), chrome.apk and gsm-map.apk. Then I flashed SU_flashable and after boot-up SU was finally installed.
It seems that the difficulty of obtaining root permissions in all stock roms from b105 onwards is precisely linked to the lack of space in the / system / app.
I hope to be helpful to those who find themselves with the same problem.

[SOLVED] I Rooted Device, But I Can't Edit System Files?

Hi friends;
I have HTC M8 Marshmallow with Sense 7.
I rooted my device with SuperSU 2.65.
But;
I can't edit build.prob file in system folder.
I can't put apk and lib files to system->priv-app folder.
In fact ;
I edited build.prob file in system folder. (I used Root Explorer)
I put apk and lib files to system->priv-app folder.
But, after I rebooted device edited build.prob file returned original and
deleted apk and lib file that I put to system->priv-app folder.
Before these applications I mounted system folder R/W
Why did this happen?
How can i solve this?

You can't edit system files while your device s-on,you need wp module or custom kernel with wp module to edit system

You've got it wrong. Systemless root isn't the reason system is not writable. The same will occur with traditional root.
The system is write protected on this device (regardless of root method). You need the kernel mode to disable the write protection.

No, it won't work. Kernels (and therefore kernel mods) are device specific. It won't work, and may harm your phone.
If the phone is rooted, you can try to mount system in a file explorer app, and apply the desired changes, to see if they stick (survive a reboot). Some folks have had success with that approach.
Be careful, and backup files accordingly. Or otherwise know how to return to stock, if anything goes wrong. Changes to system under root can result in unpredicted problems.
Further than that, I probably can't help; as I have no specific knowledge of your device.
