Provider: T-Mobile
Device: HTC Amaze 4G
Rom: NM Sense
Version: 1.1
Kernel: nmkernel 1.1
you really have to flash cwm with Odin via windows. Maybe you could use adb to push super user app to your system forward slash app. But of course you need a PC for that as well... No I don't think you can easily root your sgs2 without a pc.

Is it possible to add clockwork mod recovery on our phones w/o using Odin (directly from the phone) ? I was able to do this one the infuse 4g but I haven't seen any thing in the forums about it. Or a way to root w/o it either. I'm hardly ever home in close to my laptop so this would be a great help.

Yes. Use the thread sfhub inntje development section that is stickied at the top. U can flash the stock kernel with cwm without using Odin.

It should be thought. What if you just replace the stock recovery with the clockwork recovery?

Trying to be helpful, so...
No, because you need to use ADB (Android debug bridge) to run the zergrush exploit locally on the phone. you cant push the files onto the phone from itself or use the exploit. The best that they have right now is mobile Odin, but thats for flashing files over partitions, not rooting or a installing a recovery..

recovery should be built into the kernel that he is going to (mobile)odin and mobile odin will inject root into the system if the option is selceted. if used severel time and i think it works great. The only thing it failed me on was the modem. Has to do that at a CPU.

Technically he could download the zergrush files to his phone and run them and root... Then download a kernel to the phone and write it with dd

I wiped the sd card like a retard... and now don't have a rom to flash.
What do?
I can't find how to mount the sd card.
You have to adb push the Rom to your phone. Hopefully you have the android sdk installed, a quick Google search will provide you with instructions on how to push the file

You can adb from recovery?
You can also use fastboot to recover yourself

It looks like you can use the GNex Toolkit to flash stock rom from fastboot mode (option 9).

Are you getting payed or something man?
Why are you suggesting a toolkit, which will then use fastboot, to reflash a whole rom, a stock rom at that, when he has access to a custom recovery, thus he can get himself out of this mess and learn a thing or two about adb (adb can do more than just a simple copy operation).

That's a very good question but from what I know if I'm not mistaken is that you possibly can't root your phone with a Mac
that's just my knowledge...

From my understanding no, Odin will not work unless it's on Windows, I've heard people run it on a virtual OS on a Mac. You should just ask a friend really to save you time.

Install windows on your Mac is an option
Sent from my SGH-T989 using xda premium
Yeah, running a virtual OS is possible but a risk, so I suggest you go to a friend or install windows with bootcamp
Duel boot Linux or Ubuntu s latest . then get adb working in my Sig on PC or desktop view are three lines in my Sig .open terminal and paste those in one at a time and enter.you have adb. Then unzip the zip push the root and push its su file via adb to their rightful place that should root your phone without Odin or just get adb working on your Mac and do the same. I like Linux and Ubuntu though, over Mac. Or here *-X-*
also get fastboot working so that you can use it to install a custom recovery like twrp with this command `~ fastboot flash recovery recoveryfilename.img
Before Odin was ADB.

At what part are you thinking you will fail?
just get a windows7 and use odin macs complicate things for Android users.
or dual boot Linux Mint for free.
Or Root with Mac via ADB
that guide is for the Nexus Toro so of course you will use only recoveries and files for the t-989.. the su file is somewhat universal as in the newer su files will work with most if not all devices Ive encountered certainly a su file that works for nexus would work for our device and so would superuser .apk but recoveries are device specific and the wrong one will result in a possible brick, very likely.

I would say look for a flash able stock 4.1.1 rom download it to your phone flash it and then u can relock the boot loader with an app. I forget what its called but saw it here or u can use terminal emulator. And there stock rom. Send it back. Problem solved.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium
Bootloader lock can be achieved by segv11's bootunlockr. Im thinking something like flashable rom 4.0.4 to 4.1.1 stock and odexed, then root without cwm via adbwireless and http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1894717&highlight=root+without+unlock, bootlock via terminal emulator (preferred) or bootunlockr, use a file explorer like es to remove root.apk and su binary. I say preferred terminal emulator because im not sure how boot lock with bootunlockr would work once root has been removed. Just some ideas, would like to know how this works out for ya.
Are you sure the usb is gone? It'd be so much easier..
I'm trying to use the online CWM builder from this site http://builder.clockworkmod.com to port CWM to a new device

I still need the graphics.c and post-recovery.sh files but I can't seem to find them, any ideas where to look?

You don't need Graphics and post-recovery files to compile

Thanks, i just needed some extra peace of mind to make sure i didn't break anything. I can't even flash it anyway since my device is running a production build. I think i need to compile a user-debug or engineering build from source to be able to flash cwm. Linux is a whole new world to me though, i'm getting so lost loll

The graphics file is needed. Our device uses a non-standard graphics format.
To OP: You can find that file in KB's PAC-Man repo or in the official CM repo of i9103.

Device has root access in UI and terminal.
Entering adb root from my computer spits out an error about not having root access in production builds.
If i enter adb shell, then su-l, i get root, but when mounting any of the read only filesystems i get the same error as above.
Trying to apply any update.zip from sd card(even a signed one) fails due to signature checks(i think i need the oem Hp signature).
