[Q] Problem with adb remount

OK I know this problem has been posted hundreds times before but i've read several of them but still can't find out what i did wrong. SO: I got my G2 rooted with S-OFF as i looked in the bootloader. I rooted the phone using rage method. So if i have my S-OFF that's obviously that i am rooted right?
And I definitely have my adb set up right cuz i could not root my phone if i didn't have adb set up. The question is Why every time I try to do adb remount, it will keep saying remount failed operation not permitted.
Even when I try doing adb shell and su it would say access denied too.
Just a little frustrating, What can i do to fix this?

I am not %100 if this is your problem but i think you need ENGINEERING HBOOT
to run adb commands ,you can do it by reading the wiki http://forum.xda-developers.com/wik...Z.2FG2.2FDHD.29_-_OPTIONAL_and_UNNECESSARY.21
But if you want to do it be very very carefull becasue if you do it wrong you will brick your phone and there is no way back

S-OFF is different from having your phone rooted, so it sounds like your rooting hasn't worked. If you have S-OFF and the eng hboot, you could use fastboot to flash Clockwork recovery and then install a custom pre-rooted ROM.
Or you will need to go through the rooting procedure again to see what has gone wrong.

If that's the case that my phone hasn't been rooted. My rom manager worked. I flashed clock work successfully and I did checked that I had it by rebooting into recovery. I even used n1 torch high brightness to make sure I was rooted. Then extra step was asking su in my terminal emulator too. But I still had hboot.img tho. Should I do an engineering hboot ?

Should fix any problems with mounting, heres a link for a stock rooted rom, so she wont be able to tell the diffrence, also since you can boot into CWM recovery make a backup of your current rom before flashing this:

The ADB remount command requires the ro.secure property to be set to 0 (even if you are rooted). If you want to remain on the stock ROM, flashing the linked ROM will do it for you (and is way easier than doing it yourself manually). Most (if not all) of the custom ROMs will set this property for you if you wanted to try others as well.

Thank you guys very much. I never faced this problem before since my n1 was rooted and flashed rom using the phone not adb our anything related to computer.so thanks guys. Case closed. Happy me lol

[Q] I am now S-Off w/ Bootloader Unlocked using Firewater!

Okay, so now I can confirm that Firewater worked great - using the temproot method. Where do I go from here? The instructions I've found for installing TWRP were extremely confusing. I had no problems following the directions for Firewater, but this is a different story. Now that I'm unlocked and S-Off, where do I go from here?

Congrats! Well you need to flash a recovery. Get a recovery.img http://flyhalf205.com/getdownload.php?file=recoveries/openrecovery-twrp-2.6.3.4-m7vzw.img and place it on your pc in the same folder as the fastboot.exe file. Open a cmd prompt and navigate to the directory where the 2 files are. Boot the phone to bootloader (hboot). Then in the cmd terminal type
Code:
fastboot erase cache
then
Code:
fastboot flash recovery nameofrecoveryimg.img

Thank you very much! I do have some questions. Do I need to be rooted? In the bootloader screen it says I am S-Off and Unlocked, but I don't think I am rooted. I have to use the temproot included with Firewater. I downloaded a twrp .img. Am I supposed to flash that? Once that is flashed, am I free to download a custom rom?

Thanks for the info

If you are s-off and unlocked all you need to do is flash that recovery i posted, and then flash a rom of your choosing. Most every rom comes pre-rooted. I assume right now you are stock. If you want to stay stock just flash that recovery, then flash superuser thru recovery and you will be rooted.

Where did you get the firewater download from, got a link?
Never mind i found it http://firewater-soff.com/instructions/

Cool so you were 4.3 with s on and locked boot loader and firewater now has you s off and unlocked. So you just need a custom recovery and then whatever Rom you want.
I was going to ruu back to stock locked and s on to try firewater for fun but I don't want to run into snags so I'll just stay how I am for now.

Linux - Xubuntu to be specific. It seems to only recognize the device half of the time when connected to USB. It hangs indefinitely - 5 min was the longest I would wait. When I select Recovery from the hboot menu, I get a silhouette of my phone with a "NO" symbol through it. This is not normal.

Are you using the quick android sdk or did you download the whole sdk and install platform tools then set path in your home directory profile?
Edit: try these directions at the bottom to set your path.

I installed adb and fastboot via apt. I guess assuming that was the optimal way to get it was a mistake. I am assuming now that you need to run temproot beforehand?

Yeah you need the temp root method because your stock and locked, unrooted. Make sure you are admin when you run it.

Yeah to keep from typing Sudo before each command I usually do Sudo su before running any commands.
It will ask for your password then throw you in admin mode. Otherwise you will need to add Sudo before each command.

[HOW-TO] Guide to Debloated, S-OFF'd, Rooted HTC One with Wireless Tether Support

I'm writing this short little post to give an idea of a good starting point for the HTC One as it stands right now. There are a lot of threads and they get out-of-date quickly (just as this one will). I just picked-up my new HTC One on Tuesday of last week from a Verizon store. This just gives a fresh idea of what can be done to get started on it.
Obviously you're running these instructions at your own risk. I'm not responsible for you bricking or otherwise damaging your phone. Doing these things may (will) void your warranty and may prevent you from being able to return your phone. Run these things at your own risk.
AN IMPORTANT PUBLIC SERVICE MESSAGE: When you get your phone out-of-the-box, it's probably going to offer you an OTA update. I recommend that you do not accept an OTAs as this usually makes this process even harder than it has to be. Verizon hates having us enjoy our devices!
First, let me describe my goals here:
Unlock the bootloader and obtain S-OFF
Install a custom recovery (CWM)
Install a "cleaned-up" stock ROM (debloated but still a stock experience)
Get wireless tether working without jumping through tons of hoops.
I'll go through the list and just describe what I did:
Unlock the bootloader and obtain S-OFF
This was fairly straightforward. Rumrunner has an excellent package that does this very easily. I checked my phone's ROM version and saw that I was running 1.10.605.15. I grabbed the Rumrunner package from here for that level.
In looking over the requirements for Rumrunner, it wanted 32-bit Linux and I run 64-bit. The easiest way to solve this problem for me was to just boot to a Xubuntu 12.10 32-bit ISO that I had on my system. If you have it burned, just boot to it. If you don't (like me), use grub2 (if you have it) and boot the ISO directly. Either way, get yourself into a live environment.
Once the ISO was booted, I got it on the network and installed adb and fastboot from the Ubuntu repositories (after I did apt-get update, of course). Connect the phone via USB and enable USB debugging:
Go to Settings -> About -> Software Information -> More
Tap the Build number field 7 times
Back up to the Settings screen again and you'll now see Developer options
Enable USB Debugging under the developer options
Verify that you can see the device on your system using adb (this should result in a device being listed by serial number):
Code:
sudo adb devices
Follow these instructions for executing Rumrunner. It worked perfectly as described. Once complete, the phone was unlocked and S-OFF with a stock ROM.
Keep the live environment up as it will just make life easier to do the next steps.
Install a custom recovery (CWM)
I pretty much always use CWM if I can. I saw that there were no issues with doing that on this phone (like there are on other phones like the Rezound). I grabbed version 6.0.4.7 of CWM (non-touch) for the HTC One from here. If I recall correctly, the device is booted back into the stock ROM at this point. Make sure your device is still connected USB and has USB debugging enabled.
Reboot into the bootloader from the command prompt:
Code:
sudo adb reboot bootloader
Once the phone comes up, it should be at the Fastboot screen (it should actually show Fastboot USB). Verify that you can see your phone with fastboot (should get your device serial number again):
Code:
sudo fastboot devices
Now you can flash CWM recovery using this command from the directory where you stored the CWM file you downloaded (such as the one I provided a link to):
Code:
sudo fastboot flash recovery recovery-clockwork-6.0.4.7-m7vzw.img
After the flash is successful, reboot back into the bootloader:
Code:
sudo fastboot reboot-bootloader
Now you can choose BOOTLOADER and then RECOVERY to get access to CWM. If you really want to, you can take a backup of the stock ROM at this point. I did not because I thought it was a waste of space. I just booted back into the stock ROM and disabled USB debugging so I could stick a real ROM on the system.
Install a "cleaned-up" stock ROM (debloated but still a stock experience)
I really wanted to give this HTC Sense 5.0 a run. I've used Sense before and it wasn't awful. This seemed less annoying than previous versions (plus, there are some nice camera features which are important to me). For that reason, I selected the stock 2.10.605.1 rooted, deodexed, debloated ROM from this thread. I also opted to do the firmware upgrade at the same time, so I grabbed the firmware for the 2.10.605.1 as well.
The instructions in this thread are easy to follow so just use those. Just a note though: Flash the firmware and ROM at the same time if you're going to do firmware at all. Instructions are in the second post on that thread.
Once the ROM was up, I did my typical setup of accounts and such. The last thing I needed was Wireless Tether support.
Get wireless tether working without jumping through tons of hoops.
I don't particularly care how I get wireless tethering (infrastructure mode) as long as it works on my phone reliably. I first tried the stock tethering as this sometimes works because the authors of "stock" ROMs sneak hacks into their ROMs. It did not work. I then tried messing around with the WiFi Tether TrevE Mod that I saw recommend a few times but this didn't pan out on the 2.10.605.1 ROM (I temporarily went to 1.10.605.15 and it worked; I went back to 2.10.605.1 when someone recommended the solution below):
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2576548
I flashed this package onto my system and, without a problem, built-in wireless tether started working. I've seen no problems.

Getting my one today. I guess I will give this a go tonight. Thanks. Anything else to look for? Thanks.

Rumrunner worked perfectly fine for me on Ubuntu 12.1 64 bit both times I ran it. I would try it first before downloading s 32 bit distro if 64 bit is already installed.

[Q] Rooting Help!

Hey everybody, got my HTC one 2 weeks ago and just received the 4.4.2 kit kat update from verizon. I want to root now and i realize it was really stupid to update to it and should of stayed on jellybean. Anyways I'm a complete Noob at rooting and have never done it before but i honestly hate htc sense, it looks really ugly in my opinion. I realize the risks about rooting and voiding your warranty and bricking your phone but i never had warranty on my phone so I'm only worried about the bricking part, can someone please inform me on how to root a HTC One 4.4.2 on verizon? or link me to a site when there is a one click rooting method available( if there is none currently). sorry for knowing nothing but i could really use someones help!! thanks!

haha ok sorry never mind i must of entered one wrong but they are working now, what should i do once i gain s-off?

Also what makes the temp root method different from the other methods? do you lose root once you reboot or what? (sorry I'm new to all this) and i know that s-off does not mean your rooted but have all the restrictions gone, how can i achieve root from this or do i just execute "temp root" in terminal?

UPDATE: when i attempt to execute the first command"adb reboot" it just prompts me with "error:device offline" what does this mean??

Temp root just allows the s-off exploit to work. Once s-off you flash a recovery and then superuser to get full root.
Did you try rebooting the phone and the pc?

Temp root won't work because your boot loader can not be unlocked with the temp root method. It was patched in 4.4.2

turns out i forgot to uncheck fast boot, did everything again and after "adb reboot" now it says "device offline"

On your pc go to C:\users\your_user_name\ and look for and rename a folder named .android (to something like .android.bak.) Then reboot your pc and phone and try again.

ugh this is so annoying, i finally got "adb reboot" to work and it successfully rebooted but when i tried executing the second command i got this message "./adb wait-for-device push firewater /data/local/tmp
cannot stat 'firewater': No such file or directory"

Is the firewater file in the same folder as adb.exe, and is the cmd prompt at the same directory? Its saying it cant find the firewater file on your pc.

firewater s-off

I did not see any threads for the VZW HTC One specifically so here goes...
Is anyone having any success with firewater on an HTC DEV unlock with and HBOOT of 1.54? I am able to run all the commands and enter shell until
/data/local/tmp/firewater...I get error, run firewater as root. su of FU!!
I have root as I am coming from CM11 and I have verified it with rootchecker. Any ideas or is it just incompatible with my version?

Look at your phone when you enter Shell. It might be asking for root access...

Actually, I am which is why I said that. I was one of the few who bought the one the second day it was released and Dev unlocked that night! Any suggestions to resolve the question at hand?

Ah i see. I would fastboot flash a recovery, then flash superuser thru recovery, and then run firewater. When you try to run firewater cmd, is it a $ or # prompt? Have you tried the cmd su before the firewater cmd, and make sure to allow su permission on the phone prompt.

Within CM11 I went into the built in SU and allowed SU access for Apps AND ADB. I am now past the first issue, now I battle with the second...thanks for the brainstorming people!

well no dice just chugging along at first bottle and no s-off.

I think that cm11s built in su is your issue. I would flash cwm su and set it to always auto allow. Then try firewater again.

No im talking about clockworkmod superuser https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.koushikdutta.superuser

Thanks a ton for the help, I am now S-Off. I decided to switch to a sense rom and flash twrp this time, the Superuser I was using had a similar option that you mentioned before. Once that was enabled firewater worked quickly after the first bottle. Thanks for your time I really appreciate it!
