Since nobody answered me on my last thread, I will start a new one.
I have a rooted phone (almost).
The problem is, I can't open the file from the terminal.
I am using Terminal Emulator by Jack (someone)
No matter how many variations of /storage/(something)/(maybe something again)/wp-mod.ko it just says it can't open it ;(
Please help

hi all i have a problem and it is driving me nuts to fix it, the only people that can help me is you boys so pls do.
i ve read several dorums and no joy i dont no what im doing wrong.
let me start.
I have a htc touch pro (raph100)
running energy rom.
my android verion is Android 2.2 Froyo][CyanogenMod 6. requires to partitions.
1q.Sdcard
2.ext2
ive copied psfreedom files modudles zimage and psfreedom.ko to my sdcard.
ran gscript or terminal, but i get the error message unable to insmod psfreeom.ko.
before i changed my android version, i was run xdandriod, with config changfe and was loading fine, when it used to tell when to disconnect from usb.
ive gone with Android 2.2 Froyo][CyanogenMod 6 because it looks better and runs better,
is there a way i can run the ps jailbreak hack with this android version.
i look forward to all the help please, and can you provide files that i need to make this work for me.
Thank you all
Dal.
did u remove ur old modules.zip, when u copied the one from psfreedom to ur SD Card? happened to me the first time i tried to install psfreedom.ko
and the installation is a little vague. if u dont get a message, just an extra line or two, its installed ok. you can confirm that it's installed, by trying to install it again and getting an "already exists" message
Btw im not using cyanogen (but still using a rom, which requires partioning), so i cant guarrantee what i said will work for you
Also, you should post in that thread instead of creating a new one. Might be a good idea to do some searching/reading in said thread.
Hi Everyone!
I have been given a Defy MB525 with Froyo installed
Apparently O2 and Motoblur don't like each other 'cos I can't locate the phone or do anything else using "My Motoblur" as Motoblur wants Microsoft Explorer and I have Linux on my computer.
I want to manipulate files and basically get full access to my phone using a nice friendly Linux GUI, but apparently I need to root the bloody thing.
I know this question has been asked before. The thread below is an example.
http://http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=9456771
The thread mentions Z4root as an answer.. It doesn't exist anymore.
It then talks about adb and pushing files into the phone.
In the most part this worked
The bit that didn't was "adb push exploit.bin /data/local/tmp/exploit.bin"
It doesn't exist on the zip file attached..
It did however have "rageagainsthecage-arm5.bin" instead
I changed the name to exploit bin in the vain hope that it might be the one and continued the instructions.
It obviously wasn't the one as :
a) it wouldn't come out of the program and
b) I got the $ sign instead of the # sign, which meant I was not root.
This was confirmed when I did the next step in the instructions and got permission denied.
After a switch off and on again (the phone) I cannot even get get back into the phone using adb. It just comes up "error: device not found" even though Linux is showing it as a directory.
So! What next?
Yours in anticipation
Fitchie
I use this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1044765 and work very fine with froyo
You can look at the stickies at the top of the forum before posting, see "Defy all-in-one beginner's guide", understand that it probably refers to you and most likely contains the answers to any beginner questions you'd want to ask, open it, read it in case you're serious or just look for "rooting" word if you're not.
Well, you already missed the first part and posted the thread, but you could still do the rest.
Given that you're running Linux on your PC, I'm a bit puzzled - I'd think that the described above is expected from someone with unorthodox OS that is likely used to searching for various guides.
Using "SuperOneClick" is the best way to do Root on your Defy MB525.
I've done this. .. hope it'll help

SO i posted this in another thread, thought I'd start one here.
Im sure a lot of people are facing the same issue as I am. So any assistance would not only help me, but plenty of others as well. Here it goes:
I just joined XDA...if there ever existed a supernoob when it comes to phones, then thats me...i have almost absolutely no idea about flashing, roms and whatnot...i just know they exist
My problem is that I have a galaxy nexus, yakjuux, here in Canada, and as everyone else, thinking of flashing to yakju for the updates.
I have a black macbook, and I was reading on how to flash...and i just couldnt piece together all of the information thats available.
Anyone here generous enough to help me flash to yakju to get the updates?
walk me step by step as to how to flash...like literally step by step, with every bit of detail.
Im not completely dumb with technology, but its just with phones that I fail.
Thanks!!
time for some tough love... You need to start reading and figure it out. These exact threads, nearly word-for-word, have been posted for the last 3 months straight, and have been answered the exact same for 3 months straight. There are guides, stickies, posts, videos, etc. all sitting in these forums. You are seriously going to get yourself into some nasty **** if you just let someone tell you what to do and you have absolutely no idea what's going on while you're doing it. Search. Please.
Good luck.
Thanks martonikaj,
I understand the multitude of information available out there, but there is nothing for mac in terms of videos that helps flash from yakjuux to yakju.
If i missed something, would you be able to post it? I would be grateful.
Its just a matter of getting a guide that's concise and concrete.

There is nothing different about a Mac guide. In many ways its simpler. The only difference is that you need the Mac version of ADB and Fastboot files instead of Windows ones, and you need a "./" in front of the commands in Terminal (instead of Command Prompt). There are no "1 click" (toolkit) methods for OSX. Do it manually you'll be better for it anyway.
I've attached ADB and Fastboot files.
Got past that, serial number is not showing up though...aghh
is there no video to show how its done?

so you've downloaded and unzipped ADB and pointed Terminal to that folder, connected your phone and enabled USB debugging, and type "./adb devices" and nothing shows up?
umm yeah I did all of that...
i sent you a message!
Sorry for the stress haha, tough love indeed it is...but this is driving me crazy...

On computer:
1) unzip Mac_ADB_Fastboot.zip
2) Move files somewhere, like your <user name> folder
3) Open Terminal
4) type "cd " and drag the unzipped Mac_ADB_Fastboot file into the Terminal window (or manually navigate if you know how to do that) and hit enter
On phone:
1) turn on USB debugging in developer options
2) connect phone via USB
There is literally nothing else to do to get the computer to recognize the device.
HI All,
Apologies if subject is already in place (I wasn't able to locate it)
I was following root of
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1644167
however not able to install anything via script due to "permission denied". Any ideas what could be causing it?
One of users mentioned something about opening port. Which port would it be and how to open it? On top of that edb.exe keeps reopening though I keep killing it in services.
I would be grateful for any advises
Kind regards,
Ryath23

try this one http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1604439 it worked for me like a charm and make sure that your usb debugging mode is enabled in your developers mode
OK so: I updated my N7(2013) to lollipop 5.0.1 using the Skipsoft toolkit and now I cannot restore my data from a backup on my windows 7 x64 PC.
The N7 is unlocked, rooted, and running lollipop 5.0.1. A few weeks ago the USB port stopped working due to the well-known physical weakness of the N7's USB socket. Fortunately I had made backups and copied them to my PC (windows 7 x 64 up-to-date) via USB just prior to the failure. The backups were a TWRP nandroid made from recovery, a TiBackup of all the apps and app data, and I copied the entire contents of sdcard (/storage/emulated/legacy) to a folder on my pc via drag-and-drop using explorer. (MTP mode on the N7 seen as "Nexus 7\Internal storage" by windows.)
Prior to sending it in for repairs I deleted all my personal data from sdcard, did a factory reset using TWRP recovery, and verified that the phone would boot into android lollipop 5.0.1. I paid iResQ to fix the port, which they did.
When I got it back, I hooked up the N7 to the PC via USB and attempted to copy the files back to sdcard, by dragging them in the opposite direction using explorer. I did not work. "Nexus 7\Internal storage" is read only! I was unable to change the permission on the N7 using explorer. (Apparently since the hated MTP mode makes the PC think that the N7 is not a storage device with permissions). I tried using adb push (did not work). I tried to change the permissions of sdcard on the N7 itself using root explorer (and ES file explorer and xplorer -- did not work). I tried adb shell followed by su then chmod (did not work). I tried "mkdir test" at the su prompt to see if that would work and was told "mkdir failed for test, Read-only file system".
So how do I restore my apps and data? How do I make "/" read-write? Does lollipop make an N7 into a ROM?
I think I'll go back to kitkat.
--------------------------------------
Some hours later~
I tried removing 5.0.1 and went back to kitkat, Android 4.4.4 (KTU84P). I am able to copy files from pc to sdcard via wireless using an explorer on the N7. Nevertheless, using an explorer on the pc I cannot copy a file from it to the n7 via usb . I don't get it. What is going on here?
----------------------------------------
The next day~
It appears to me that the problem with the MTP transfer from the PC to the N7 is on the PC side. Apparently when I plug the N7 into the PC via USB, a file transfer window is supposed to appear on the PC. It does not.
That does not explain why, however I was completely unable to write (via usb, wireless, adb, or on the N7 itself) to the virtual sdcard when the N7 was on lollipop 5.01 but works with KitKat 4.4.4. Any clues? Anyone?
Amazing. All the people who read this forum and not a one has a clue as to why I cannot write to my N7.

Yeah that's gonna make people want to help you.

You're welcome. And I did want to help, but that comment that you posted was rather rude. Next time, instead of acting entitled, a simple "can anyone please help?" would have sufficed.
Anyways... I take it you got it fixed?
I agree that was rude. And I apologize for it. However, on 18 January, I asked after not getting any responses, "Any clues? Anyone?" I checked for a response every day after that and by the 30th was rather frustrated at not having received one. Also I had searched the board extensively and could not find anything like my problem. Clearly I did not use the correct keywords or I would have found the page you pointed me to.
I don't know if that will solve the problem because I need to try to install the upgrade again then try it. Which I will soon.
Nevertheless I do greatly appreciate you for having helped me _MetalHead_ despite the rudeness of my request.

No worries man, I understand how frustrating it can be, especially when the life of your cherished Nexus 7 hangs in the balance. Keep me posted if you get it worked out or not.
