Uninstalling WaveSecure from Modaco ROM

I just installed the Modaco ROM on my Desire (It is awesome BTW) but i don't like the WaveSecure program and i can't seem to be able to find it in /system/app to remove it!
Is there a way to delete this program off the phone!?

I would like to learn how to do this also

Don't think you can unless you use the online kitchen (I don't like it so removed it from mine)

I believe:
adb remount
adb shell rm /system/app/com.wsandroid.apk

Doesn't seem to work mate.
Code:
C:\DevTools\android-sdk-windows\tools>adb remount
remount succeeded
C:\DevTools\android-sdk-windows\tools>adb shell
# rm /system/app/com.wsandroid.apk
rm /system/app/com.wsandroid.apk
rm: can't remove '/system/app/com.wsandroid.apk': Directory not empty

Running as admin?

Same here. Running as admin - nevertheless "Directory not empty"
Edit: solved. Run SUBFS on phone and mounted /system RW. After that tried again in cmd - voila!

For noobs like me: It's actually SUFBS, not SUBFS. Google for the apk, install the app, in the menu there's an option "mount /system RW". Activate and then run the adb commands above in a cmd window on your PC. Et voila!
(Just realised this is a Desire thread, this worked for me on my Nexus too)

[Q] Install busybox

Anyone knows how to install busybox?
I've tried to follow some guides but ends up with:
Code:
215:Desktop ricardo$ adb push busybox /data/local
580 KB/s (1083568 bytes in 1.823s)
215:Desktop ricardo$ adb shell
$ su
# cd /system/xbin
# mount -o rw,remount -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system
# cat /data/local/busybox > busybox
cannot create busybox: not enough memory
or
$ su
# cd /data/local
# mount -o rw,remount -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system
# dd if=/data/local/busybox of=/system/xbin/busybox
/system/xbin/busybox: cannot open for write: Out of memory
or
$ su
# cd /data/local
# mount -o rw,remount -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system
# ./busybox cp /data/local/busybox /system/xbin
cp: can't create '/system/xbin/busybox': Cannot allocate memory

same here. cannot write to rw-mounted /system.
sucks

Try my zip file. Woked for me
The only thing that I want to change and I can't is the init.rc file. I tried to mount the / (rootfs) with rw, but every time I restart my device the file is copied, again, from the ramdisk image.

I have the same problem

What should I do with your files?
Nobody has a solution to this?

I don't think this is a memory issue though, .. added 512mb swap and still it claimed to be out of memory, ..
also I figured maybe hd space .. however when i ln /data/local/tmp/busybox to /system/xbin it had the same error.
I both tried ln from the system and ln from busybox both had same result.

It's not a memory problem! In order to install it you have to be in recovery mode.
Try:
While in recovery mode use adb to connect to our phone. Now transfer the zip file (busybox.zip) to your phone and install it via clockwork recovery -> install zip file -> select my zip file.

can anyone post the proper busybox file cause for some reason the file signature verification failed.
adb push busybox-signed.zip /sdcard/busybox-signed.zip
rebooted phone held down volume button while booting ..
choose recovery, ..
choose install zip from sdcard..
then i see a lot of no and one yes .. so i choose yes but the installation is aborted.

Just install titanium backup and click on 'problems?' at the bottom. It will install BusyBox for you.

it has error during installation at line 4 with your busybox.zip
somethinf like can not chmod
(rooted buzz with stock rom)

Do what this guy said.

titanium install in /sdcard busybox, not in /system/bin (xbin) , so it is not usuable by other apps

i have installed it in during recovery mode in /system/xbin
how now to specify PATH for using commands from it?

i think you need to create aliases however why install it in xbin anyways then, .. if you need to create aliases or links in bin.. ?
example
$ ln -s /data/local/tmp/busybox ls
$ ./ls
if it is in a path that is included in PATH executing a command will auto look for it in all directories defined in PATH env so basicly you could just create all the directories under /data/local/tmp/bin
and just then append that to PATH env echo $PATH then append :/data/local/tmp/bin to it and busybox should work as well.

titanium backup is free software... look on the market, there's a free version and a donate version.

i have aliases in /system/xbin
they was created after busybox --instal -s
but in system allready exists some commands like ls => i want to use ls from busbox, not from system
and terminal emulator dont anderstand ^[ likes bindings

is there a definitive way to do this. There seems to be no clear way of doing it.

To install:
1) extract and push busybox to your sdcard, reboot into recovery
2) mount /system
3) if you don't have /system/xbin (you should), create it
adb shell:
# mkdir /system/xbin (if necessary)
dd if=/sdcard/busybox of=/system/xbin/busybox
cd /system/xbin
chmod 755 busybox
./busybox --install .
4) reboot and done
OPTIONAL - before rebooting replace the busybox installed by the root process in /system/bin
1) mv /system/bin/busybox /system/bin/busybox.bak
2) cp /system/xbin/busybox /system/bin/busybox

The above is pretty straightforward. The only thing is you need to download the zip in the other thread and 'busybox' refers to the binary in the zip rather than the whole directory - as I understand it. Correct me if I am wrong but trying the dd command on the dir will not work.

You dont have to extract the binary into a folder, just extract the busybox file direct on your sdcard. Than the dd command should work, on my phone it works fine.
But if not, does the command cat in the adb shell work?
If so, try istead of the dd comand:
Code:
mount /sdcard
cat /sdcard/busybox > /system/xbin/busybox
And remember to start your wildfire in the recovery mode, that was the mistake I had done...

Verify the device is showing under the device manager, usb debugging is turned on, and that it is being run as administrator.
What OS are you using?

i have the same problem. Can't root after the recent update. using W7, executing it with and without administrator rights. Executing with administrator rights it says something of ADB.

How to Updating script. Try once again.

@ ZeroNull, can you confirm whether ICS_rooting_A10x_A5xx works for the latest build?
Build number
Acer_A100_2.001.01_COM_GEN2
I have been unsuccessful so far:
==========================================
Preparation is finished.
-
Executing of the main script.
remote object '/system/bin/su' does not exist
The file "su" isn't created!
-
Not getting root!
-
Error!

I can confirm that I successfully rooted my A100 using ZeroNull's simple method (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1531646)
Build number: Acer_AV041_A100_1.037.00_WW_GEN1
I didn't even use the new script, I'm still using the old one (ICS_rooting.zip)
Unfortunately I can also confirm problems with recent updates of the SuperUser APK (It did not assign the correct Group ID), but apparently they were fixed in the latest update (v3.1.3)
Good Luck.

Hi alexsec, did you try with the new script, it creates a different directory than the old script did, and it uses the mkdir -p option so it creates any parent directories it needs:
Code:
adb shell "mkdir -p /data/local/tmp"
adb push tools /data/local/tmp
adb shell "chmod 0755 /data/local/tmp/mempodroid"
And it does a better job by waiting longer for the tablet to reboot:
Code:
rem Wait reboot tablet
for /L %%i in (1,1,7000000) do @rem
I even modify the getroot.sh script just to change back to the old su command and modify its permissions:
Code:
cd /data/local/tmp
echo >/data/local.prop
toolbox mount -o remount, rw /system/
cat su >/system/bin/su
ln -s /system/bin/su /system/xbin/su
chmod 06755 /system/bin/su
sync ; sync ; sync
reboot
Good Luck...

[Question]How to push deodexed APKs and jar files to Sony M Dual?

I have deodexed the odexed apps and framework jars of Android 4.3 for M Dual.
Now how to move it to /system/ folder with the help of adb?
I tried flash Gordon by making a flash-able zip but it ain't working.
I have a locked boot-loader and I do not want to unlock it.

This method assumes you have adb set up as an environment variable on windows.
1) Rename the 'app' folder with the deodexed apps to 'done_app' and the 'framework' folder with the deodexed framework to 'done_framework'.
2) Copy both of the folders to the root of your SD Card, basically so when you want them on your phone it is /sdcard1/done_*/ (* being used as a wildcard).
4) Connect your device to the computer with USB debugging enabled.
5) Open up command prompt and then run the following code individually and line by line:
Code:
adb shell
su
stop
mount -o rw,remount /system
rm /system/app/*.odex
rm /system/framework/*.odex
cp /sdcard1/done_app/* /system/app/
cp /sdcard1/done_frame/* /system/framework/
mount -o ro,remount /system
reboot
This may cause the device to bootloop, just battery pull and restart. Android is upgrading will appear but that is normal.
The reason flash gordon isn't working is because it replaces some framework files and that could cause the device to freeze and then bootloop and it has a safeguard to prevent that.

I tried this before too but without asking for root permissions and thus it failed each and every time.
Hope it works now.
Will edit the post with the result ones device boots up.

I used that code for my single SIM and it worked perfectly, just the possible bootloop happened and then I battery pulled and then restarted and it worked. You need su permissions to remount.

Ok.. I am gonna try to be as informative as possible in a short span of time.
There are almost 200 apks in the app folder but most of then are already deodexed.
I have deodexed dual sim firmware and there were 56 apps in total and not 46.
I can't remember the number of jars but ya 35 or near to that.
Now you just need to flash this 56 or 46 apps as per you and those 35 or so jars + 1 framework apk name sony.uxp.something.apk
and delete all the *.odex files in /system/app and /system/framework.

You must not have saved it right or something.
Find a file manager in playstore that can do root privileges.
Or since you know adb. Pull the file, edit it then push it back.
Adb pull /system/build.prop
Edit the file
Adb push /system/build.prop

Bro can u give me step by step instruction about adb push and pull
