[Q] Framework-res error after edit

Hi, i was trying to rewrite old smilies in framework-res.apk and after that change my phone repeatedly show welcome screen (again and again ..), nothing more happen.
I have original unchanged framework-res.apk file, but i don't know how to rewrite it back without other apps (rootexplorer etc.), just through my pc or some phone recovery mode.
Can anybody help?

maybe adb would work..
try
Code:
adb remount
adb push framework-res.apk /system/framework
lets see if you can overwrite..

I have this phone shortly, so i need to know where can i get adb.

after adb remount command it says: Operation not permitted
and adb push ... : Read-only file
any other ideas?

Erm.. you need to download android SDK from http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html
then use terminal(on PC), navigate to your <sdk folder>\platform-tools
and use those commands..
I tried to create an update.zip for u.. doesn't work
Can you give me the backup framework-res.apk?

[Q] Copying files to /system | S-ON | HTC One X

I have rooted my HTC One X and want to copy files in /system/xbin folder. My phone shows S-ON. And Eclipse is not able to copy files to /system and adb push from shell is also not working. Is there a way I can copy files to /system/xbin?
I am running stock ROM.
My phone is NOT associated with any vendor.

adb remount
adb push filename /system/xbin
Sent from my HTC One X

You can also use es file explorer and go into the options tick up to root and the request root and then tick mount as r/w.
Then just move files as you will.

First of all thanx it worked. I think I will have to live with this way A ADB/Eclipse based would have been cool
Will the files moved from SDcard to phones root in anyway lose and privileges(like losing executable)? If yes, please suggest a way to restore it.

When doing adb shell su do you get any toast notification on your phone? Or does it just say denied ?
Strange it works perfectly here Also are you using SuperSU or any other superuser app?

Yes you need to change the permissions after moving from sdcard. Use Root Explorer(Long press on the file--> Change permissions)

I am using SuperSU as Super User App. And I think I am doing something wrong here. You mentioned about adb shell su. I think I might be wrong here. Here is how I tried to execute the command.
[email protected]: <path to platformtools> ./adb remount
remount failed: Operation not permitted
do I have to raise ADB shell to SU level. If yes, how?

Strange. Are you using the stock kernel ? If that is the case then it does not have insecure adbd (ro.secure=0) so remount will not work. Try a custom kernel.
Does adb has SU permissions from recovery ? Try booting into recovery, mounting the system partitions and try to push something from adb. Check the SuperSU app to update binary but that should not be a problem.

Yes I have rooted the phone but the ROM is stock(I was thinking to put in CM9 Alpha).
About the second thing. I know how to boot my phone into recovery(Vol Down + Power -> From Screen -> Recovery(ClockwerkMod))
But about the rest I don't know.
Sorry about my annoying questions this is my first time I am dealing with rooting and stuff.

I guess you are using stock kernel then. Try franco's or faux's kernel.
adb remount wont work from os on stock boot.img.
After rebooting into recovery go to mounts and storage-->mount /system and then push something from adb. See if that works.

Well this didn't work either. I hope to switch to some other ROM in future(I hate HTC Sense ). But as of now Root Explorer did the job. I mounted my sdcard and copied files to it and used Root Explorer to move files to /system and then changed permissions.
Thanks for help it really made it easy .

make sure your path devs are oke for su.
in terminal run:
sudo su
adb kill-server
adb devices
you should see your HOX HTxxxxx nr.
and here you should be able to connect eclipse to HOX by adb.

The problem was not accessing the device using ADB. The problem was I was not able to write to root system. ES Explorer and Root Explorer both did the job for me. I will be putting the final instructions for the process(detailed ones) soon.

Instructions onw how to copy files to root file system on HTC One X with S-ON
1) Unlock and Root your phone. Follow instructions below
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gIeq8Jx28cs
and then
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=80lMHUgxwww
2) Install ES Explorer(File Manager) Link :- https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.estrongs.android.pop&hl=en
3) Connect device to computer(even if it is not recognized by ADB/Computer)
4) In Phone select Disk drive option. Now the phone's storage will be mounted on your computer as removable device.
5) Copy the files you want to send to phone's root system to any folder here.
6) Change phone's mode to charge only and wait for 2-3 secs(let phone remount sdcard)
7) Open ES Explorer and open menu(those 3 dots at bottom and select Settings)
8) Tick the following options
Up to Root
Root Explorer
Mount File System
9) A dialog box for permission will open Grant it.
10) Now copy files from /sdcard/<Folder where u put files> to where ever you want o copy files to.
11) Long press on file to change permissions and stuff.
Post here if you are stuck someone will surely help you.

If you are running CM you could dirty flash the build you used over your current one, in this case nothing should be broken after the flashing process.

set the correct permission
do it from recovery
mount system partition and run adb command
Code:
adb shell chmod 0644 /system/build.prop

[Q] can someone tell me how to avoid bootloop?

can someone tell me? how to avoid bootloop when we modified something in system partition? i mean sometimes i always get a problem with bootloop, just like that install a superuser MOD (services.jar) bootloop when restart. i still locked bootloader. can i push any file or something without must turn on the phone. like use any adb debugging?

When you modify something on the system partition it is advised that you set the permissions to it. When you push SUPERUSERMOD to the system you are pushing it with 0664 (I think) permissions, it needs 0644 permissions to run and execute. You can easily push your files to your device and set the permissions using ADB.

i think the first code is adb shell and then su, but before that i active the usb debugging and then apply the root permission do this command
mount -o remount rw "/system" to mount system. and
do cp,rm and maybe chmod to copy,delete and change permission right? are still any code that i still don't know it?

[Q] Accidentally modified Framework

Like a dummy I tried to rename framework-res while using my nexus so I could replace it with an edited one (deb rooted, stock 4.4.4 rom, franco -17 kernel)
Now Im trying to ADB in to rename the original file so it will boot again.
I'm connected to the nexus in ADB but when I try to pull or rename the file I always get some sort of error.
I was able to adb push a framwork file I downloaded on my computer but it still wouldnt boot. Im assuming it was bad.
Any help is much appreciated!
thanks!

The reason it would not boot with the one you pushed to the device is probably because you have to set permissions correctly after the push. Framework res should probably be set to rw-r--r--
Run this after the push, or if the file is still on the phone, run it now.
Code:
adb shell
su
chmod 644 /system/framework/framework-res.apk

I will give it a shot the second I get home! Thank you so much for the help. So by default files pushed to the system do not have full read and write permissions?
Thanks again!

Yes, most of the time, pushed files will copy with bad permissions. Every time I've ever edited a system APK, I've had to subsequently set permissions before it would act correctly. Might not be 100% your issue, but it's definitely worth a shot.

Well now Ive run into a new problem. When I SU to get root access it tells me that /sbin/sh isnt found.
I rooted the n7 with cf autoroot.
this would be a whole lot easier if twrp would mount the tablet so I could just upload and flash a zip to update it.

Well I was able to sideload the boot animation herehttp://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2591471 just to confirm that sideload was working. I rebooted and it worked but still will not get past the boot animation.
The framework file simply needs to be put in /system right? so the command would look like
abd sideload framework-res.apk /system
Is that right?

You need to fix the framework file before you can boot. Try running the permission command without su first.
