steps for gfree using mac.help! - G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

hi! im one of those G2 users that was unlocked but no network signal.. i know that this has been fixed.. just want to ask since im really not familiar with all the terms..
http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/index.php?title=HTC_Vision#Rooting_the_G2
what exactly means " You will need to download a program called gfree that will first copy partition 7 of the phone, then patch it, then reflash back to your phone"
im using mac.. download already sdk.. my phone already recognized.. i just dont know what exactly to do with the gfree_02 zip file or how do i open it. thanks.

You need a tool on your Mac that can recognise ZIP files and un-zip them. I had a quick Google and found loads. I don't know whether there's anything built-in though, I know very little about Macs.
All you need to do is to extract the contents of gfree_02.zip to your Mac, then you can follow the rest of the instructions. I assume you have got adb working, based on what you've said.

You can probably just double click it to unzip it or, maybe right click and open with Archive Utility.
What version OS are you running on your Mac? 10.5? 10.6? etc..

unzip files, place in the platform-tools older where your adb is, open up terminal and push the files to your phone then run terminal emulator and follow this wiki article.

hi! thanks for the quick response i tried doing but when i typed adb push gfree /data/local it says (gfree folder is in the platform tools folder)
cannot stat 'gfree': No such file or directory
or
when i type in adb push /Users/xxxxxx/Desktop/gfree_02 it says (gfree is in desktop)
Android Debug Bridge version 1.0.26 - (and shows all the commands)
all i need is to push gfree right? but i cant do the right command.. pls help thanks

It's hard to say, but it seems like you haven't unzipped the .zip file yet. Can you see the files? There should be about 9 files, mostly ending in .c and .h You only need the one called gfree (with no extension).
if you did unzip and gfree in on the desktop - you can see the file, not just the enclosing folder, then try:
adb push /Users/xxxxxx/Desktop/gfree

now it says:
$ adb push /Users/xxxxxxx/Desktop/gfree
adb: permission denied
is there like a step by step on how to do it?

Did you put in the target location? The /data/local/ bit at the end
Adb push /users.../desktop/gfree_02/gfree /data/local/

Are you typing that on your phone (terminal emulator) or on your PC/Mac ? It needs to be on your PC/Mac, not the phone.

You need to unzip the gfree files and place them individually in the platform-tools folder not as /plantform-tools/gfree/.

im done with these:

and then i typed ./adb shell as mentioned on the wiki:
On your computer's terminal/command line, navigate to where the gfree file is, and then…
adb push gfree /data/local
adb shell
but when i tried the next step on wiki
This copies gfree to your phone, then puts you in your phone's terminal. Then (IN THE ADB SHELL) do this:
su
cd /data/local
chmod 777 gfree
./gfree -f
sync
when i typed su --it says
su: permission denied
what happened? thanks.

sounds like you arent temp rooted, you sure you temp rooted first?

i havent temp root my phone yet.. coz when i type
$ adb push su /sdcard/su
when i hit enter it will reply
cannot stat 'su': No such file or directory
i need the right command for my mac and also the right path for my g2 terminal emulator.. coz the initial command is export PATH+/data/local/bin:$PATH
is this correct or do i need to change the directory or my command.
all i really need is to "unlock" my phone..
thank you..

Your PATH is ok because it is finding the "adb" command ok.
What isn't ok is that it can't find "su" when you try to use adb to copy (push) it to the phone. You need to do a "cd" to change directory to wherever you unzipped the files that you are trying to push.
e.g. if "su" and the other files are in /tmp on your Mac, then you need to do "cd /tmp" and then run the adb commands.

[Q] Adb is not recognized as an intern or extern command

Hi, so i'm very new to Android and while attempting to do the gfree permaroot for my desire Z, i came across a problem. When I type the commands, it says that adb is not and intern or extern command. I have adb file in platform-tools (400ko). When i open it, it make a cmd screen for about 2 seconds then shuts down. Can someone help me with this problem
I just installed HTC sync and my computer cannot find any device attached. It says: the htc vision htc port does not repons.
Thanks
Vince
are you doing CD C:/location of adb/adb?
You must direct your command line to the directory of adb.
also run cmd as administrator if you're on vista or win7.
If you're not a command line pro I suggest you just rename your folder to whatever you want in C:/folderhere
For example heres the folder renamed to "android"
then just do CD C:/android
Then type "adb" and hit enter

I'm no adb pro but I'm ok at cmd. Maybe I should make a video or something on the basics to getting adb running if there isn't one already?
Thanks for the quick reply! It helped me figure out that you need to open adb before using the adb command but the same error occurs (is not an intern/extern command) when i try it

Nah, you still aren't getting it
How did you install ADB? If you search in Windows for the file "adb.exe" what does it tell you?
it's in the platform tools folder in the sdk

I'm not quite sure what you mean by this, I wonder if you're doing something wrong. Have you followed this guide ? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=865685
If you have added the correct folders to your path, as explained in the guide, it should find adb ok.
If it's finding adb ok, then if you run "adb devices", is that not showing your phone ? Are you using the original HTC cable to connect to your phone ? Third-party ones sometimes will not work.
Yeah i'm using the original Htc cable. I have downloaded Htc Sync and it appears as "my htc" in device manager. Although, Htc sync doesn't recognize any plugged in phone.
For adb, i go in cmd, change the path with cd to the path where is the adb.exe, then type adb. A series of text follow. Then, i switch to the folder where is gfree (with cd) and type the first line for temp root. That when it says that adb is not recognized as an intern or extern command
Since adb.exe is not located in your gfree directory, it's not a recognized command. You either need to run the commands directly from your platform tools directory (and use the full directory paths for the gfree commands) or place the path for adb in your environment variables so that adb can be called from any directory (step four in the ADB for noobies linked earlier). This is the easier method.
I tried it but it's not working. I'll take pictures tomorrow so my obvious noob error can be spotted
Adding adb to your path
Hey there,
Here's a quick guide to fix your problem (basically, you don't have adb added to your path). Btw, this guide was made on Windows 7, but the principle should be the same for Vista and XP (though the steps are different).
Step 1: Right click "Computer" or "My Computer"
Step 2: On the left side find "Advanced system settings" and click it.
Step 3: On the Advanced tab, click "Environment variables"
Step 4: In the bottom part of the window, scroll until you find the row that starts with "Path" and click "Edit"
Step 5: At the end of the existing line, add a semicolon ( ; ) and the path to your android toolkit. If the path contains spaces, don't forget to enclose it in quote marks ( "C:\path to adb\tools\" )

You haven't set the Path up so that it can find adb, as has been said, and that's all covered in the guide that I previously linked to. But the previous poster has provided you with an excellent step-by-step solution.
Thanks alot, my adb problem is now solved! I just have one more question, when i plug my phone, htc sync cannot recognize it. Although, when i write adb devices in cmd, my phone appear. Am I still gonna be able to permaroot or should i mess with the drivers.
Thx
Vince
It's not a driver problem, it's an HTC Sync problem. Your phone has to be in Sync mode and you have to wait a few minutes (mine takes up to 20 mins) for HTC Sync to recognize it.
sounds like you'll be able to root just fine if it recognizes and responds to adb.
Not sure about htc sync, I don't even know what that is...lol

10char is a forum meme where you reply to a post in under 10 characters. Yes, you cd to the directory the gfree is in.
ok so do i just say where the file is or do i put the file name too
like cd downloads/gfree_02
or cd downloads/gfree_02/gfree
The directory.
after it says adb is not recongnized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file
i dont why it says because i have to adb setup

Are you cd'ing to the folder that has adb.exe in it? that might be it.
edit to add: an easy way to do it is to right click on the folder while you hold down on the shift key. Then select "open command window here". adb.exe is most likely in the SDK tools folder

adb is not going to work if you don't have it (adb.exe) in that gfree_02 folder that you are cd'ing to
As stated before, you have to be in the directory where adb.exe (so the directory you created when you extracted the ADB files from the other thread).
Then place the files you are trying to push in that directory as well. Alternatively, you can setup the location as ADB in your path environment variable (as explained in first part of the guide you linked to).

Is there any way to root MIcromax A52 ????

I bought a new Micromax A 52 mobile. I tried every method to root my phone. but i couldn't root it. Pls any tech-wizards help me.

Root micromax a 52
DOWNLOAD all the attachments that i have here. first of all connect your device to pc and install its drivers (it ll ask you to install by default)
1. put the adb_usb.ini file in .android folder in c:>users>(your name)>.android
2. install unlock root.exe.
3. run unlockroot.exe and click on root.
thats all.

UnlockRoot doesn't work with Micromax A52
This tool doesn't work with the A52. I've tried multiple ways to get the boot.img so that our mods here can assist with this but have not been successful in getting that file.
In case anyone gets this working please do post here as its really frustrating when you have apps on the phone but are unable to update them.
any one tried the method ... does it work
Rooting A52
I tried this method, doesnt work, plz will someone come up with a Rooting process that actually Roots this Damn phone
go to a ubuntu PC open terminal type "lsusb".
now connect your device via usb cable and type "lsusb" again.( without quotes)
Give me the output in both the cases.
I may have something for you guys very soon.

if you dont have ubuntu pc try this on a 32 bit windows pc
http://downloads.yahoo.com/software/windows-web-tools-lsusb-s577074
download it and then run it. I think it will do the job. And then post the outputs here.
But i would recommend to use ubuntu pc. and lsusb command from ubuntu terminal.
Try it asap and share your outputs here.
Anyone with the outputs for ubuntu??
if you are on a windows Pc you may download cygwin (google it and install it)
then you can get the lsusb command working (I am not sure of this)....Somebody please try the device with ubuntu pc or anyother linux based operating system.

2. Remove all the android USB drivers installed on your device by the software in the attachment. -> http://www.2shared.com/file/mZdgGZG3/usbdeview.html
3. Now connect your device to PC and install Micromax's official drivers (you will get an auto-run prompt for the driver installation on connecting your device.
4. Now download the attachment here and put it into the C:/Users/(your_name)/.android.
-->.android folder you should get automatically NO NEED TO MAKE A NEW FOLDER...if the ".android" folder is not present...please download and install android SDK properly.
now put the file extracted from that zip into the folder ".android".
Restart your PC.
5. goto C:/Users/(your_name)/android-sdk/platform-tools. And open command prompt there.
6. And make sure that the mobile is attached to your PC via usb cable.
7. Type "adb devices" (without quotes).
8. your micromax device should be shown there. Now close the terminal.
9. Download and install this :--http://www.mediafire.com/?jrzuezl8s5t8k0s
10. click on Root option.
11. you are done!!!!!
NOTE: DOWNLOAD THIS adb_usb file only and not from any previous attachments.

Dude......i done kno whethr its working or not.......bt if it does......u r the 1st to crack it.....
tell me wat about the CWM for the phone.......need to backup the stock ROM....
Didn't Work.
Tried that too. It said failed to get shell root... Mate if you could tell me how i could give you my boot.img if that helps i will... else if there's a way to replace it with a unsecured boot.img do tell me.. In all other accounts There's been no bloody way to root this device..
To the contrary micromax ships half of its funbook rooted! And this bloody phone cannot be! God help me!
Did you followed the entire tutorial? If yes, then verify-->>
0. Enable USB debugging option on your device....(you will find it in settings/applications/development)
1. open command prompt in c:/users/ur_name/android-sdk/platform-tools/
2. type abd devices
do you see your device listed there????
tell me yes or no.
If no then make sure you have the SDK installed. do share your outputs.
NOTE : IF YOU HAD DISABLED YOUR USB DEBUGGING MODE EARLIER PLEASE TRY ONCE MORE BY ENABLING THE USB DEBUGGING MODE.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
And about supplying the boot.img actually I am aware of commands that will help to get the boot,system,and recover.imgs out of the devices but for running those command we have to root the device first.....I am unaware of any such commands that extracts out these imgs from unrooted devices.

if that also dosent works then try super-one click. (get it from google ) try diffrent versions of it and using different modes like ginger-break etc....its easy to use software.
I dont possess a52 so cant try myself but i ll do my best.

imetal1
Nope. No Such luck.
Mate, Anyway i can have a quick chat with you? Um. Yeah debugging is on. And my device is listed. I may be a noob ova here but i'm dumb proof.
Anyway i tried this, superone click, gingerbreak and another batch file that restarts my phone 3 times...
uses a command
Code:
adb shell mv /data/local/tmp /data/local/tmp.bak
adb shell ln -s /data /data/local/tmp
adb reboot
adb shell rm /data/local.prop > nul
adb shell "echo \"ro.kernel.qemu=1\" > /data/local.prop"
adb reboot
It fails at
Code:
adb shell "echo \"ro.kernel.qemu=1\" > /data/local.prop"
command. Zerg rush fails. Gingerbreak just hangs... So since all of the readily available market programs fail i was thinking of another approach where i saw this guy who flashed ICS to his Zopo ZP100 (MediaTek MT6575). The similarity over here is the board. My board is also a MT6575. So i was wondering if flashin it with this would work... (jus askin) Or if there was a chance to port an existing pre-rooted 2.3.6 rom to this board by replacin d drivers or such.. I have no idea but i'm ready to experiment around. Forgive me if i sound dumb... Do reply. And if your in for a quick chat today temme. I'll give you my skype ID somehow..

​Open a command line terminal in your platform-tools.
adb shell mv /data/local/tmp /data/local/tmp.bak
adb shell ln -s /data /data/local/tmp
adb reboot
adb shell “echo \”ro.kernel.qemu=1\” > /data/local.prop”
adb reboot
adb shell id
//IF ID IS 0/root THEN CONTINUE, ELSE START OVER>
adb remount
adb push su /system/xbin/su
adb shell chown 0.0 /system/xbin/su
adb shell chmod 06755 /system/xbin/su
//UNDO EVERYTHING EXCEPT su
adb shell rm /data/local.prop
adb shell rm /data/local/tmp
adb shell mv /data/local/tmp.bak /data/local/tmp
adb reboot
If your device seems to bootloop, don’t worry, just keep inputting the commands.
If you get a permissions error on the call
adb shell "echo \"ro.kernel.qemu=1\" > /data/local.prop"
then you may try
adb shell rm /data/local.prop
And then try the echo command again. This may be due to having rooted prior without cleaning up properly.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
If all the above fails download the attachments here and extract it to your platform-tools folder. And run .bat file that is created. May be this would help.
Actually, I dont have the device so please share any errors that you are getting...better still post entire output.

Root ZYNC Z930 by adb commands

Hi everyone,
I have rooted my Zync z930 tablet with adb commands and just wants to let you know.
After going through lots of root methods i came to know the procedure.
Hope my method helps you.. :good:
I have collected the required drivers, files and uploaded them to 4shared.
Just Download the required files from http://www.4shared.com/rar/WiRHc5mG/Zync_Z930_Root_tools.html
And extract it.
To install adb drivers for your tablet, enable usb debugging in your tablet.
Go to settings ->developer option ->tick USB debugging and then connect your tablet to your PC with the usb cablet supplied with your tablet.
Now windows will show Failed to install drivers. just close it.
Go to desktop, right click on Computer -> manage ->device manager, you will see Z930 with an error symbol. Right click on it, update driver software.
->Browse my computer for driver software.
->let me pick from a list of devices on my computer.
->have disk
->select the location where you have extracted Zync Z930 Root tools.rar. Point on drivers. And click ok.
->it will show Android adb interface
click ok. it will show certificate warning. Just accept and let in install.)
So now you have installed your adb drivers....
Rooting your tablet
Now in the "Zync Z930 Root tools" folder, hold shift and right click.
"open command window here"
in the command window, type the following commands..
adb devices
(it will show the connected tablet with a different digits, thats normal)
adb root
(it will give you root permission)
adb shell
(U will be taken to Android shell)
(now in the shell, type the following commands, please take care of the space, comma and other signs and symbols carefully and execute)
(If you get $ sign, you still don't have root permission, if you have #, it means you have the root permission)
#mount -o remount,rw -t rfs /dev/block/st19 /system
#exit
(you'll be taken back)
adb push busybox /system/bin
adb push su /system/bin
(Please NOTE: if you have upgraded to JB, you don't need to install superuser.apk, you can skip that "adb install superuser.apk" step)
adb install superuser.apk
adb shell
(Again you'll be taken to the shell)
#chmod 4755 /system/bin/busybox
#chmod 4755 /system/bin/su
# mount -o remount,ro -t rfs /dev/block/st19 /system
#exit
adb reboot
(Your tablet will be rebooted, And thus your tablet is Successfully rooted.)
You will see that now u have superuser.apk installed. Use an application like titanium backup which requires root access.
Also you can use "root checker application" to check whether you got root access or not...
If i have helped anyone please hit thanks botton...
And Please let me know whether you got root permission or not....
Enjoy your rooted tablet....:good:
thanks
Thanks for the method. I will try tonight and post here.
can you access fastboot ..?
i have rooted my z930 already , but anyways good work :good:
have u unlocked fastboot ..?
Works
It works. There is a typographical error where you've written busybin instead of busybox.
@jaideep, thanks for the correction, i'll edit it, actually it was late night when i had typed those steps, so just messed.
Anyway thanks again...

You don't have to install the busybox...and Do you have the Android SDK? because for me the adb.exe which came with the rar didn't work properly. The adb reboot leaves the cmd not responding forever. I had to use the adb with the Android SDK to get the rooting done...

Hi everyone,
I have rooted my Zync z930 tablet with adb commands and just wants to let you know.
After going through lots of root methods i came to know the procedure.
Hope my method helps you.. :good:
I have collected the required drivers, files and uploaded them to 4shared.
Just Download the required files from http://www.4shared.com/rar/WiRHc5mG/Zync_Z930_Root_tools.html
And extract it.
To install adb drivers for your tablet, enable usb debugging in your tablet.
Go to settings ->developer option ->tick USB debugging and then connect your tablet to your PC with the usb cablet supplied with your tablet.
Now windows will show Failed to install drivers. just close it.
Go to desktop, right click on Computer -> manage ->device manager, you will see Z930 with an error symbol. Right click on it, update driver software.
->Browse my computer for driver software.
->let me pick from a list of devices on my computer.
->have disk
->select the location where you have extracted Zync Z930 Root tools.rar. Point on drivers. And click ok.
->it will show Android adb interface
click ok. it will show certificate warning. Just accept and let in install.)
So now you have installed your adb drivers....
Rooting your tablet
Now in the "Zync Z930 Root tools" folder, hold shift and right click.
"open command window here"
in the command window, type the following commands..
adb devices
(it will show the connected tablet with a different digits, thats normal)
adb root
(it will give you root permission)
adb shell

(If you get $ sign, you still don't have root permission, if you have #, it means you have the root permission)
#mount -o remount,rw -t rfs /dev/block/st19 /system
#exit
(you'll be taken back)
adb push busybox /system/bin
adb push su /system/bin
(Please NOTE: if you have upgraded to JB, you don't need to install superuser.apk, you can skip that "adb install superuser.apk" step)
adb install superuser.apk
adb shell
(Again you'll be taken to the shell)
#chmod 4755 /system/bin/busybox

[Q] Can't figure out how to flash CWM via Mac OS X

Hello everyone, I have an OUYA and I really want to get CyanogenMod on it. The first step is obviously CWM. I have tried flashing via this method http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2295645 on my Windows 7 PC, I get the error message "no device found" every time, tried numerous drivers, nothing worked. So I decided to try it out on my Mac. Well its still not working. I run the .sh file and nothing happens.
My question is, how do I do this?
Im kinda new to terminal on Mac OS X, and I've barely used it in Linux, so I think I need some help here :/ I hope someone has advice.
Thanks

hmm,
On my MBP the script worked,
Did you navigated to the folder with the terminal ? (i'm also not a terminal hero ) and run the script ?. with Osx the "dir" fuction is "ls" so you can see the folders. Navigate to the specific MacOSX folder and with the Ouya and your MAc connected, type ./adb devices (with the ./). It should give you a line with "List of devices attached " and the line below that a long number that stands for your ouya.
Sometimes i had to do this twice or three times for the ouya to show up. If the ouya showes up. Then run type ./InstallOuyaCWMRecovery.sh (with the ./). It should work that way.

ok when first entering the terminal type
Code:
cd \
(then enter, you will see a > enter again)
then type
Code:
ls
( its an L )
you can scroll up but i'm pretty sure there is a folder "Downloads" to get into this folder you have to type (just like windows)
Code:
cd Downloads
As i'm not a terminal hero also i type everything Cap sensitive (this way i know it works)
do the "ls" and "cd" commands until you reach the downloaded folder and you are into the MacOSX folder, then do the
Code:
./adb devices
and if you mac sees the ouya then run the bash file

I pm-ed you.
Re-Mi has helped me solved my issue! Thank you so much!
Here is more detail on what I did, First of all I followed Re-Mi's instructions. Here they are:
So first things first Root
http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=2387507
Sideload the app and run the apk
second install the xposed installer (latest apk file at the end of the first post) make sure it's installed (Launch the Xposed Installer and click on "Install/Update" ,Reboot ,Done!)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1574401
Then install mod collection for Ouya and install CWM from there
http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=2359390
It's a long detour but i think it will work. After that just install stockplus rom and you got everything you wanted (otherwise you would not even bother to install cwm )
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Now let me go into more detail. What you do is type the first link into your OUYA's web browser (It is under Make>Software>Web Browser I believe) Then download the file. Now go to Manage>Settings>Advanced>Storage>Downloads and hit the file you just downloaded. Install that APK, hit open, then hit root. Now accept the SU request. After this is done repeat the steps until you have the other file downloaded. Now install that APK for the Xposed Installer and hit "Install/Update" then reboot. Now download the mod collection from the third link.
Install it and install CWM from there. It will take you to a download link, wait a few seconds, then hit install CWM again. Now it'll be installed.
Plug your Ouya into your computer, If its a Mac you will need the program from www.android.com/filetransfer . If its Windows you wont need that. Go in XDA and download whatever ROM tickles your fancy. Drag and drop that into your Ouya's storage. Now on the Ouya reboot to recovery (Via the Mods app)
Now im CWM hit the install zip from SD card, select the .zip of the ROM you chose, and install. Now wait until its all done, reboot, and enjoy!
*IF YOUR OUYA GETS BRICKED, NEITHER I NOR RE-MI NOR ANYONE EXCEPT YOURSELF ARE RESPONSIBLE!*
Good luck! If this helps be sure to thank Re-Mi!!!
