Put drivers in the shield - Shield Android TV General

Hello,
I have a ShieldTv 2017 in 7.2.3.
I'm looking to put drivers ( playtv sony) in the firmware folder in vendor ( I think this is the right place).
My Shield is rooted.
But here I can't do it because the file is only in reading. I tried to temporarily change the permission but it was impossible.
In adb I can't do an adb root, I don't have permission.
Do you have any idea?
Thank you in advance.

If you got magisk installed you need to disable magiskhide and reboot, this way adb root will work.

Superuser just won' work!

I rooted my kindle fire using kindle fire utility 0.9.6 (after the rooting superuser wasn't installed on my kindle), downloaded twrp, flashed hashcode jelly bean ROM from this link
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1766829
and then flashed Superuser-3.1.3-x86-signed.zip which I downloaded from this link
http://androidsu.com/superuser/
but superuser won't work, when I check the root explorer in ES file explorer it tells me that this feature can't work on ur phone
Please I'm really dying out here
Someone Help Pleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeease !!!!!
You need the su binary installed as well. But with that being said, why don't you just install the Superuser.apk?
[Edit:] It's late and I'm not paying attention for some reason. Custom ROMs come pre-rooted and you have Jelly Bean installed. Perhaps there's a problem with ES File Explorer?

Thank you for replying so fast
how can I install su binary? and about the superuser.apk isn't that what i flashed into my device i have a superuser icon on my desktop but it just won't add any apps to its list.
Thanks again
At the Superuser website, there are three zip files. One is Superuser, one is the su binary, and the other should be both. Not that it matters at this point.

"Your Phone does not appear to be rooted or has not been given root privileges. to use this application please provide root privileges to this applications"
what should I do?
[Edit] ok now i know my device is certainly not rooted i tried orbot, market enabler and market unlocker they all dispatch the same message your device isn't rooted.

I too used the KFU to supposedly root my KF, but when I tried to install Titanium Backup, it gave me the same error message saying that my phone did not have root privileges... I wonder if there is something not installing correctly when using KFU...
"Root" consists of the su binary, which the system uses to give the user root permissions, and Superuser.apk, which keeps a database of what programs you allow to have those permissions. With "su" only, you will still have root permission, but only at the level of command line interface and your apps will not be allowed root permissions. Superuser.apk by itself is worthless. Custom ROMS come pre-rooted so the need to re-root is usually unnecessary unless something happens to one of the above mentioned programs. The only way to be sure if/which one is missing is in recovery via the command line because custom recovery will provide temporary root access.
Code:
adb shell ls /system/xbin
...look for su
Code:
adb shell ls /system/app
...look for Superuser.apk
Superuser can be installed from within the ROM using the .apk (at least in earlier versions it was possible), or in recovery using the command line or by flashing the signed .zip from the superuser website . The su binary can only be installed while in recovery.
Of course it all can be fixed by re-flashing your custom ROM.
It may also be necessary to rename the check-rooted executable, but only if you're running the stock Amazon software.
I think that pretty much covers it.

Ok now things are getting worse I tried to turn the wifi on and it didn't work, I tried to reboot and power off the tablet but it just won't work
{Edit} I want to know that by re-flashing the ROM is there a guarantee that those problems won't happen again.
One more thing is that I deleted the ROM from my kindle I can't transfer it from my laptop because the kindle hasn't been recognized after the jelly bean and I can't downloaded because wifi isn't working so what should I do
Thanks in advance

Ok, I have a dumb question, but from where do you run the DOS commands from? (ie. what directory?)..
c:\KFU?
Right-click on your KFU folder and select properties to find the folder's path. It may be different depending on wherever you've installed it.

Thanks. but not sure i understand.
Here is what I'm attempting to do.. using the root method described here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1638452 under "Getting to fastboot mode" there are a series of command line examples that seem to start with adb.... (ex. adb shell chmod 755 /data/local/tmp/fbmode).
Under Rooting the stock software, the first step command line is "adb shell mount system"
my question is from where do I start (directory) so that when I enter these commands they work?
Or are you saying that I need to fun all these from the KFU directory? (or KFU/tools) or some other directory..
I appreciate the help and feedback..
:h my::
Wherever adb is...Right-click on that folder to find it's path so you can "cd" or change directories to it. Alternatively, you can Shift + Right-click on that folder and select something like "Open command window here".

[Guide] Disabling Auto-Updates on Fire Phone

DISCLAIMER: THIS METHOD WORKS ON THE FIRE TV, AND MAY NOT WORK FOR THE FIRE PHONE. IT HAS WORKED FOR ME, BUT I TAKE NO RESPONSIBILITY FOR ANY DAMAGE CAUSED TO ANY DEVICES. USE AT YOUR OWN RISK.
I searched around and couldn't find a way to do this on my own. Some threads suggest deleting system files to get this to work, but I found you can disable OTA updates on the Fire Phone the same way you can with the Fire TV.
You need to have root access to the phone, which requires both:
A) Downgrading your phone to 3.5.0, and installing the ADB. Which you can read about in the first part of B1ackByte's guide HERE.
B) Using towelroot to get root access HERE (Click the symbol, download the apk and run it.)
After you have the ADB and drivers installed on your system, and your phone has been downgraded to 3.5.0, you MUST choose
"Wipe Data and Factory Reset" in the recovery menu before rebooting your phone. If you do not, you can get a couple glitches and hangs... nothing major, but you'll still have to boot into recovery to do the wipe and finish the process.
After you're downgraded, rebooted, and rooted... Install the latest version of SuperSu from HERE then REBOOT AGAIN!!! If you don't, SuperSu might not take over properly.
Open CMD or Command prompt as an administrator, and navigate to where you have the adb.exe, then issue these commands:
adb start-server
adb shell
su
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Your phone will then ask you to grand permissions to the adb console, click "grant" or "accept" (Depending on the version of SuperSU you have.)
Then Type:
pm disable com.amazon.dcp
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
You should see an output message that says "Package com.amazon.dcp new state: disabled"
And Voila! OTA updates are turned off.
EDIT: I've also read a couple guides about how people have used the Fire HD FirstAide package to install google apps and maintain root, but that process didn't work for me. The Fire Phone (or mine, at least) doesn't come with busybox, and the FirstAide script relies on busybox. You can manually install busybox into the system files of the Fire Phone and give it system permissions, but that is outside the scope of this tutorial.
Also, even after manually installing busybox and granting root permissions to the adb shell running the commands, the script still fails to copy some files because the filesystem isn't EXACTLY the same as the Fire HD. (I may be wrong on this, but I just couldn't get the process to work due to some missing folders on my end.)
I tried this and it worked for me. Thanks!
is that possbile to downgrade 4.6.6 to 3.5 reply quick please guys

So you've already rooted BPA1 and you're moving on to rooting CPD1?
I attained root on that partial firmware. Moved onto adb steps to be able to unlock it again as i was already unlocked before i just wanted lineage OS extremely bad. So i followed the guide on xda and then on the 2nd to last string it always says no such file or directory even if the unlock script is on the root of the sd card the internal storage and pc lol still to avail. I followed every step to the T can a pc firewall or something of that affect how smoothly this should be? Ive done it before but i never had this hard of time diff pc as well.

What's the full script that you're trying to execute and which guide are you using? To my knowledge, a firewall has no effect on rooting the Note 4.

Have you tried using kingoroot on the phone? I did it like that and had no issues. Also make sure your developer and security items are ticked.
I think I might know your issue. I had an issue using minimal adb and fastboot. The file that I moved into fastboot "unlock_n4" didn't match the adb command in the instructions. I renamed the file to match the command, and it worked! Up until I figured that out it would say "No Such file".
Hope that helped
Thats a great idea ill have to try that ty.

[ROOT] Enable Soli in any country

Made a new thread as seems this is demanded option. Some people already checked this and looks like this works. I can't check right now but if you want, please check and post if it works for you.
Restriction is phone number country code based, can be bypassed. Also looks like its developers left setting to disable country checks at all. To do that, you just need to change android setting 'pixel.oslo.allowed_override' to '1' or 'true'.
Connect Pixel 4 with developer mode and execute command in adb shell:
Code:
adb shell setprop pixel.oslo.allowed_override true
or
Code:
adb shell "setprop persist.pixel.oslo.allowed_override true; setprop ctl.restart zygote"
or edit system/build.prop with some app (eg. MagiskHide Props Config)
You need root to do this.
Also there is Xposed Module in xposed manager to do this automatically called "EnableSoliOnPixel4", here's thread about it https://forum.xda-developers.com/pixel-4-xl/themes/success-enable-soli-china-t3994917
Do I need root permission to execute this command via adb? Thanks

Does it mean that I still can use soli in any country even that country doesn't support for it ?
For example, If I traveled to Japan one day, I still can use soli after enable soli by this xposed module ?

Looks like ADB not received root rights on phone. To check this use
Code:
adb shell su
if you receive response ' su: not found ' then you should enable root access for adb on phone (with supersu or similar)
Also you can set this prop with MagiskHide Props Config from phone if you used Magisk to root it

Now I gotta root my phone and lose automatic updates just to be able to use it normally. Thanks a lot, Google!! _l_
You will still get automatic updates, you can root your phone, set the persistent property, and remove the root. Should persist across updates.

So if I set the property and then unroot, it will persist even after OTA updates? No need to root again and set it again after every OTA?

That's what I suspect since the property lives in /data which is not changed/erased after OTA. I've not tried it myself however that's probably what I will do when I get the phone.

Performing some more reading on the subject, there is a possibility that unlocking the bootloader by itself trips safetynet which in turn prevents OTA. I can't know whether this is true for sure, but in this case keeping Magisk root shall hide that and let you download the OTA.
Before applying the OTA you should use magisk to restore the boot.img, let the OTA install, and then let Magisk install itself to the other inactive flash slot where the OTA is. That will make sure that root is kept intact post update and keep hiding that the bootloader is unlocked. Can anyone confirm?
WORKED
hello, i can confirm its working, steps to follow :
when u flash the magisk_patched image the phone wont boot at first, so u have to flash the boot.img then reflash the magisk_patched.
then the phone will boot normally.
after that, download terminal from play store, and type in it : SU , this will ask u for root permissions
then u need to type these 3 commands within the terminal :
setprop pixel.oslo.allowed_override true
setprop persist.pixel.oslo.allowed_override true
setprop ctl.restart zygote
then motion sense will turn on.
enjoy!
if u need detailed steps about the whole thing let me know

Soli doesn't survive reboots if you're using this method.
There's a magisk module (non Xposed) which solves this though (https://forum.xda-developers.com/pixel-4-xl/themes/enable-soli-contries-magisk-module-t3997035)

correct, rebooting the phone will cause SOLI to get disabled, you need to re-enter the commands in the terminal to get it to work again
