I know there are threads like this out there, but none of them fitted my questions...
Hi,
in this post, seo posted some ported sense 3.0 apps and widgets for Sense 2.1 GB roms.
I tried to install some of them and got MMS to work.
Then tried to get Rosie and widgets, but they wouldn't install directly, so i started playing around with ADB.
i think adb is fully set up, i am able to pull apks from /system/app.
problem is, i am obviously unable to push, install or uninstall system apps via
adb push
adb install
adb uninstall.
this was when i tried remounting (with remount,rw etc.) and was able to "rip off" rosie.apk (i know it worked as it wasn't there anymore later on ) but still was unable to install apps (with the effect i hadn't got a launcher at all.)
latest step was creating a signed update.zip, didn't work, recovery just restarts.
anyone help? someone got experience which may help me? i went through about 10 or 20 guides and am kind of desperate right now as things just dont work
thanks

Pull me a recovery.log when you try installing the zip, and I'll have a look for you.
Sent from my HTC Hero using XDA Premium App
S.O.D. proudly presents.... recovery.log!
Here it is, i attached my own update.zip (rosie-signed.apk), maybe you could have a look at it as i don't know where the fault may be.
greets SOD
I would already be happy if you managed to solve the update.zip issue (would help me with other updates) but the main prob is adb noch really working, seems like some system part is blocking this?
my hero was originally a t-mobile google g2, created goldcard, rooted, custom recovery, new radio and custom rom.
a few details:
device HTC Hero (T-Mobile Google G2, the black one )
rom Salsasense RC2 (at the moment...)
recovery CWM 2.0.5.7 (think so, but im sure i got the latest)
sd 2gb
ooookay, tried to edit existing salsasense, resulting in non-functional rom rebooting into recovery.
JieeHD may you probably cook Rosie.apk and HtcClockWidget3d.apk in SalsaSense RC2 and upload it just for testing? much better would be to give me the keys to do it myself *still learning*
i tried it but the situation above occured^^ maybe some md5 thingy?

How's your progress going?
I messed around with the files 2 from the treat and they won't flash error 0. Tried to fix that with.different binery and gave me error 7. If you can make at least the king lockscreen with weather app working than you are the man

brick after flashing modified rom.
push to /system/app didnt work.
flashing restarts recovery.
jieehd's tip of single lines for every command doesnt work, same as above.
error 0 = apk is not made for your device/rom, wont install.
error 7.. dunno, think its not matching binary or parsing error.
files from my thread? as post above says one is a log and the other is defect^^
i doubt weather will work as its eating HUGE amount of resources. if u want this lockscreen, maybe try salsasense, has got a 3.0 alike lock...
holidays now, wish good luck in coding would be happy if u found a solution
greets, SOD
were can i find HTCG2/hboot/PC10IMG.zip been looking all over for it and its no were to be find
Got some questions.
1. You want WHAT? And what is the purpose?
2. In how far is this related to this topic?
3. If u give us a path to this file, why do u ask where it is? Maybe try dowloAding some random rom (probably some ruu) and do extract & search..
4. Are you really willing to contribute to this topic? I dont see the point of posting this.
5. Obey forum rules. If u have got a question, post it directly in q&a section, not in some random topic or directly explain the connection to the actual topic.
Greets, s.o.d.

what don't you know? may we help you? whats the purpose of all these posts?
i think i'll give it a last try next time wenn i got salsa sense installed and either find a solution instantly or give it up, as noone is willing to support me and i can't do much more with my poor coding skills.
seems like we have to admit that hero's dying and i have to wait for my contract to end so i get a new phone.

I've been having a problem with my cwm4 recovering my data. Due to it's size it errors out while trying to restore and from looking at the web i learnt that it's because unyaffs supports (#define MAX_OBJECTS 10000). if the files are more it bugs. I didn't know that before hand though and now I am kinda in a tough situation. I have some very important data that I need to get back but it seems the only way is to use a patched clockworkmod4 that supports more files. Anyone know if there is one? I've tried compiling my own unyaffs.c to support more and do it while in linux (heard that there are problems doing that in windows) but I get lots of compilation errors. Can anyone help out?

Yeah, i read those threads. That's how i learnt what the problem is. Unfortunately that's for a different device though and I need a specific moded cwm that is for galaxy s2.
Hi all,
Hopefully this is something fairly simple to answer, but my dilemma is that I want to flash a different ROM onto my wifi Xoom. I understand the basic process (I flashed the ROM on my old HTC Hero several times), but have been running into trouble on the Xoom and I think it boils down to the fact that Recovery Mode can't mount my SD card. I assume by SD card it means internal storage, but it can't read that or an actual SD card so I'm not sure it matters.
Anyway, after a couple of hours of research, I discovered that the best way to fix this is apparently to re-flash my recovery to version 3.2.0.0 of CWM instead of the 5.8.3.1 the current version of ROM Manager installed. After digging around, I found what I believe is 3.2.0.0, but I can't figure out where to put it so ROM Manager can find it and flash it over the current Recovery image. Also, if anyone has a link to download 3.2.0.0 that they know works, please let me know because I couldn't find a working download link anywhere.
I've also looked into doing it through Fastboot, but can't exactly figure out how to do that, either. I downloaded the fastboot.exe application and installed the Android SDK, but it tells me that it can't start because AdbWinApi.dll is missing. Being a non-developer type, I have no idea where this is supposed to come from, how I should install it, and if there's any other steps I'm missing.
So if anybody can help me out with either of these (preferably using the older version of CMW), that'd be great, but if anyone has an even easier way to do it, please share by all means. I know what I'm doing once I get to the point of installing the new ROM and Gapps, I just need my Xoom to be able to find them first.
Thanks in advance to anyone who can help out!

Will do...and thanks, that worked.
Hello there,
I just registered on this forum to hopefully resolve my problem with the Kobo Arc tablet. I apologize if any similar issue regarding this was posted. So basically, my Uncle bought me a Kobo Arc tablet about 2 months ago and I know quite alot of things about it. Due to my stupidity I couldn't play a game I really wanted to and so I edited my build.prop to make my tablet compatible with the game. In build.prop I changed the product model to: "GT-I9100", product brand to: "Samsung" and product manufacture to: "unknown". After this I restarted my device. As I did, the kobo arc logo appeared and then a never ending start-up boot. I restarted my device many times but still couldn't get my device to fully on. I entered recovery mode by holding the up volume and power button together and tried to reset to factory, but my Kobo Arc just still won't go pass the never ending start-up screen. I even tried to connect it to my computer but it doesn't recognize it. I'm assuming it's bricked, is there any possible fix for this? if so I need to know asap.
Someone please help me, it would be so kind, and I'll appreciate it soo much.
Thanks in advance
SmootZ
Please, I'm in urgent need of help. I really want to go on my tablet again..
Any help to get my kobo arc to its original state and working properly again, I would be sooo grateful.
Do you have a nandroid backup? If so, restore it.
Otherwise, do you still have access to your SD card (probably using an adapter and connecting it to your PC)? Try using AROMA FM to edit build.prop to the original values.
If not, I'd suggest installing ADB (GIYF) and using that to edit build.prop.
For the last two solutions, you'll need to use the shell, and use a text editor such as nano, pico or vi (depending on what's available). BTW, how did you edit build.prop?
You can also flash back stock/any ROM. Restoring to factory settings doesn't restore build.prop AFAIK.
EDIT: Just noticed your PC doesn't recognize your phone. That rules out solution #3. Are you sure the required drivers installed on your PC?
Yes, I'm sure. But when I plug my tablet into my PC through my usb cable it makes a noise connoting its connected but it won't appear.
Could you possibly give me instructions on how to do a nandroid back-up or something that will get my device back with the following condition:
-My device not able to be recognized on my computer
EDIT: When I connect my device to my computer it charges, but it won't appear on my computer or anything, if this helps.
It's too late to make a nandroid backup now. Try using AROMA FM.

Click the link I posted.
Read the first few posts in full.
Ask about the specific part you don't understand.
I cannot even access my device apart from putting it in recovery mode since my device gets stuck at the start-up and loops, In addition I don't know how to access my sd card since my computer doesn't recognize my device as I said. Will this be a problem?and can I still do it?How do I access my sd card?
Sorry if this question seems stupid
Is your device still not detected in recovery mode?
To access your SD card directly from your PC you'll need a special reader/adapter.
Nope, it doesn't recognize it even in recovery mode. What is this "special" reader/adapter and where can I get it? Could you provide me a link or something?
Well, I'm out of ideas. Just Google "SD card adapter".
Actually my device does not offer any external memory card slot. Meaning There is no support for MicroSD or SD cards on my Kobo Arc.
What shall I do now?
Hey Germain or anyone else,
Is there any other possible way I can unbrick my tablet from this? Any solution would be grateful.

I'm out of ideas you could try yourself. I'd try triple checking the drivers on your PC and see if you can get ADB to work.
Is sending your tablet to repair an option?
EDIT: Can't you update to the latest update using fastboot?
Hey.
First of all, messing with build.prop without backup wasn't the brightest idea in your life, but crap happens, like Forrest Gump used to say.
What is the exact model of your tablet? Kobo Arc? Kobo Arc 10 HD? Maybe Kobo released an update and you can update it directly by fastboot.
If not try to use Linux as it handles ADB much better than Windows, go to system and edit you build.prop back and wipe cache and dalvik cache. You need to have a working ADB to even think about reversing your changes.
Good luck.
Well thanks for the help.
Can I try taking this adb method without my device giving permissions for USB debugging? Since I haven't enabled this in my developer options as far as I know, in addition I cannot really check since my device is bricked but I'm 100% sure it's NOT enabled. Will this stop me from carrying an ADB method?
Hey guys, i figure this might be a longshot but if anyone has or know someone who has an android rearview mirror ie: http://www.ebay.ca/itm/201130187577?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1497.l2649
If you could take 5 minutes and copy some of your files using adb, you might save me from having turned my android mirror into a paperweight.
adb pull system/framework d:\files\framework
I ran some scripts and i accidentally nuked some files without having made a backup (smart i know..) i'm pretty sure the culprit is framework-res.apk but just in case the command pulls the whole framework folder.
Thanks!

It has a weird launcher forced into it, that cannot be replaced as far as i can tell and has an app fireeye.apk that also boots and is forced into memory. I tried to get a different launcher to work, but their interface is modified and the home button is not really a homebutton, but is hardlinked to their launcher. Trying to bypass that i managed to screw it up, also no fastboot, it uses livesuit for restore and as far as i can tell no chance of flashing the cm for allwinner as it has a really weird partition set. I'm kinda stuck.
I have one
I have 2 of these and I am interested in helping you. what do I need to do to get you a copy of the files on it?
Recovery???
How did you get it into recovery mode??? i messed something up and it wont go pass the Android logo!
Sorry to dig up an old thread.
I have one of these dashcams and the fireeye app keeps freezing on me. its really annoying. Until yesterday i have put up with it by resetting the device. Yesterday i was invloved in a minor car accident only to realise that the fireeye app had frozen again and did not get a recording of the accident. would have come in usefull.
Has anyone had problems with the fire eye app freezing and have you figured out a a way around this?
Hoping someone can help

These were the instructions I got from a seller on aliexpress.
It's a little different but maybe someone could extract from here and make yours work
