Superuser / Busybox / Init.d Installer / & Write Protection Removal / Sdcard RW - Mod on Stock Kernel
KitKat Only, Lollipop will not work.!!!
Hello Desire 816 Community , I've noticed you guys haven't received s-off. meaning our EMMC is still secured by HTC Write Protection. And we all know that's a PITA. Especially for us developers. So i took the liberty to add Busybox, Init.d Installer, & Write Protection Removal all in one zip to give us a working "/system" RW permission"
Only tested on Virgin Mobile Desire 816 and confirmed working by me... To confirm it worked on your device after flashing this use a root explorer and navigate to /data/local/tmp/ and you should see wp_log_test.txt. Then open it and it should say System Write Enabled ... Means busybox, init.d and wp_mod.ko and script are working.
Changelog :
Code:
v1.0.0
- Installs Superuser by Koush
- Hide Superuser in Sense Settings App
- Enabled Init.d On Stock Kernel
- Installs Wp_mod.ko and Script So It always Loads on Boot
- Installs Busybox 1.21.1
v2.0.0
- Added Correct RW to sdcard and External sdcard
- Made Compatable with ALL MODELS.!!!!
v3.0.0
- Fixed Root with Koush SuperUser
- Added Deletions of the last superuser you were using
- updated update-binary
v4.0.0
- Updated 00writemodule Script
- Added usf_post_boot.sh ( helps load superuser and wp_mod.ko )

thanks for this !
could you be more specific, though ? does this need unlocked bootloader ?
Or is it something you can flas from the device's built in recovery ?

If your /system partition is mmcblk0p43 then flash away. This was made for the Virgin Mobile Desire 816 and tested extensively with me. So if you have another variant and partition matches then your good to go.

You can use this for mounting
run_program("/sbin/mount", "/system");
And it works on all models
And this for unmounting
assert(unmount("/system") || ui_print("(system is unmounted already)"));

Thank you. It was driving me nuts that I had root but still couldn't write freely to my sdcard. This patch worked perfectly!
Does this work for virgin mobile a5-ul french version too ?
Desire 816n ?
yep
thanks yep its a vm unit

I had root but binaries needed update. I updated them using recovery first but the notification came back after reboot then tried recovery update, notification came back again. Did this a couple of time until finally I was not rooted anymore, then I had a message '' this Rom recovered from an abnormal reboot, send report to HTC''.
I decided then to follow the how-to from an other thread, downloaded the zip and flash it from recovery. Until now, it's been an hour, no more notification, everything seems to be fine.
Just thought I ought to let you know, not trying to diminish your work.
Btw, mine is a variant from French virgin mobile, a5_ul, device is D816n. I had issues with the first recovery, flashed twrp first not knowing touch recovery has been reported to be incompatible with the ''n'' variant of desire 816.
And please forgive my English, it's been a long time since I made such a long post.

Another port of my custom recovery.
For the aroma file manager option to work you have to flash the zip at least once as the zip file will put aroma in the correct place on your sdcard.

SELECT - swipe finger from left to right
BACK - swipe from right to left

This is what the new dedupe format does. This is a direct quote from the original creator of clockworkmod:
Code:
ClockworkMod Recovery now deduplicates files between builds. This results in way smaller backups.
Don't delete /sdcard(or emmc)/clockworkmod/blobs
Overview
I've gotten a few questions about how this works, so I figured I'd make a post on it.
Basically, here's what happens:
The files being backed up are hashed (sha256, not that it matters). Then it checks for a file with the name of the hash in
/sdcard/clockworkmod/blobs
So, if the hash of the file was c5273884b90d490134e7737b29a65405cea0f7bb786ca82c6337ceb24de6f5ed, it looks for /sdcard/clockworkmod/blobs/c5273884b90d490134e7737b29a65405cea0f7bb786ca82c6337ceb24de6f5ed
If the hash file is found, it continues on to the next file. Otherwise, it copies the file to the blobs directory with the file name being the hash.
ROMs and user data, for the most part, do not change too much between builds and backups. So, your APKs, system files, etc, are generally only stored once. This saves a ton of space. Especially between incremental backups.
Some of you may be thinking "well, how do I delete a backup?".
First, never delete the blobs directory. This would actually delete all your backups by rendering them unusable.
Simply delete the usual backup directory, and the next time you run a backup, all the unused hash files will be automatically delete (a process known as garbage collection). The recovery will show "Freeing space..." while this is happening.
Sounds great - keeping the backup size low is very useful especially when all of the roms are 900+ MBs. I wish there was an easy way to move / still use my TWRP backups.
Thanks... Testing it out now...

Any Idea if this works for the Canadian HTC One on Bell?? I'm not really sure what the differences between the versions are... I tried to install CMW Touch last night and it all seemed to work but when I select recovery it just reboots (twice) and then boots up normally... Sorry Kinda new to the One and installing a recovery
Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated

Still don't think it will flash anyway, unless s-off, though you could try dd'ing it like how we flash the boot partition now if the straight flash won't do it.

I was just curious. Thought someone said they didn't have Aroma issues which was odd because the htc-msm8960 was originally forked from me and my CWM has Aroma issues and I use the stock kernel which so technically you do too.... lol follow me?

yah im using the same kernel then. are the aroma issues proven to be kernel related? and i think the person that mentioned aroma was referring to the fact that the installer wasnt build with aroma so they didnt have to deal with that when installing this recovery.
wp_mod: Module to disable system write protection
This is a kernel module that disables write protection on the system partition while running the stock kernel.
HTC changed the MMC_MUST_PREVENT_WP_VIOLATION code to make it much harder to crack. I had to redo the module completely, so this is experimental. In the past, it was a simple matter of changing a variable, now we have to replace a function in the kernel so it returns something different, causing the kernel to skip over the write protection code.
I would caution against loading the module after attempting to make changes to the system partition. It could end up corrupting the filesystem. If the module is loaded at boot, there should be no worries.
This module will probably need to be updated to load with future kernels when they are released.

So as an end user, before it gets baked into ROMs, we need to load this after each boot?
Worked here as well on the AT&T variant. I added the line to the install recovery script that chainfire uses for SuperSU and it loads it on boot now
what i did was run the insmod command in terminal emulator, made the system rw/ edited /system/etc/install-recovery.sh and added the insmod line in there Sure it would be easier if I had init.d support but I'm on stock and am too lazy to change to a custom rom
You guys are awesome.

Nope. It'll get rolled into the kernel/scripts that are loaded at boot automagically.

You need to run it each time you boot, until it is correctly working as init.

I don't know what method they use to get root access to /system/xbin. This is probably compatible, if it loads with the Verizon kernel. Backup all your data and try it.

but i was thinking. once my phone boots up, i wait til i have root access, then download the file, place it in the correct directory, download terminal emulator and run the commands. then /system becomes writable until next reboot?
@flar2 nice job as always man!! :good:
awesome awesome awesome
looking forward to elementalx on the m8!
For users who have init.d support in their ROM. Flash this and your good to go

What are c-apps ?
https://cyngn.com/c-apps
Click the link to learn more
Requirements :-
C-apps package
Es file explorer OR aroma file manager
1) Install es file explorer (or boot to twrp, mount system in options, disable only mount system read-only and flash aroma file manager)
2) (Es file explorer users only) enable root explorer and mount system read-write
3) now rename /system/priv-app/dialer -> /system/priv-app/dialerx
4) similarly, rename /system/app/incallui -> /system/app/incalluix
5) (es file explorer users only) you may experience app crashes. Don't worry about them and reboot to twrp
6) flash c-apps package
7) (aroma file manager users only) mount system read-write in twrp options and disable the mount system read-only checkbox, then flash aroma file manager again and rename /system/app/incalluix -> /system/app/incallui (remove the x) and do the same to /system/priv-app/dialerx -> /system/priv-app/dialer (remove the x, do not change the case of the letters ! )
8) (aroma file manager users only) exit it and reboot to system
9) (es file explorer users only) follow step 7 after booting into android
10) (es file explorer users only) reboot your phone
11) now, disable these apps after booting into android (they do not work)
(I couldn't find the time to upload screenshots, coming soon !)
Edit :- screenshots added, check attachments
Truedialer works (partially, incallui doesn't work, dualsim works) but I prefer stock that is why I disabled it
Only use 1 dialer app or they may conflict !
Working :-
Cm account
Gallery
Email
Calendar
True caller service
Cm anti-theft
Screencast screen recorder
Etc etc
Audiofx is not working but maxxaudio tuner and audiofx are the same thing
Thanks, it works.
1. I couldn't find "disable only mount system read-only" in TWRP. Anyway, I flashed Aroma File Manager,
2. renamed said files, exited Aroma,
3. flashed C-Apps package,
4. again flashed Aroma, went inside /system to rename files, they were replaced by DailerNext and InCallUiNext, exited Aroma,
5. rebooted to system.
6. Found that stock apps have been replaced(Nevermind, I'm not fan of them anyway).
I followed TWRP procedure.

Dear All,

system mounted rw only to install zip files.
thanks in advance..
Hi, I'm having the same problem, and I trying to fix it now, if i fix the problem, i'll post here how I did it.

Samsung Galaxy Tab A 7.0 LTE/WIFI 2016 TINKER EDITION ROM (DEOXED/ROOT/XPOSED)
============================================
Update 01/04/2017
-----------------------
Tinker Edition V5.1 is now out.
* Re-added Samsung stock camera and gallery
* revert back to stock vold to fix issues people are having with micro sdcards
Now available for the SM-T285, SM-T280 to follow
Update 10/29/2016
------------------------
TWRP for the SM-T285 here
Early Build of TWRP for the T285 (see post by @ashyx will update this if an official version is released. The T280 version should be available not far behind I believe
Update 09/21/2016
-----------------------
V5 now out (root, deodexed, xposed) for the SM-T280/T285, still working on the SM-T280
Update 09/20/2016
------------------------
Turns out this device is not as locked as we all thought it too be. See thread below for my ordeal and more details:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-tab-a/help/resources-samsung-galaxy-tab-7-0-2016-t3431022
Modifications:
===========
* Based on LMY47V.T285XXU0APCN
* Stock Boot and Recovery (Not much choice since the bootloader is locked)
* Busybox
* Hijacked Vold (using CM 12.1 sources) to run shell scripts stored in /data/scripts/vold.init
* Removed Touchwiz launcher and redundant samsung apps (Hancom office, Kidzone), replaced with Trebuchet
* Enabled r/w to the external SD Card
* Dolby Atmos mod (09/11/2016) (thanks to @Nando14sunny)
* Deodexed/Xposed (09/13/2016) (thanks to @wanam and @rovo89)
* soft linked /etc/hosts to /data/scripts/hosts and can be edited using adb shell (09/13/2016) (thanks to @venomrat)
* V5: root chainfire's SuperSu 2.78 (09/21/2016) (thanks to @Chainfire)
* stock boot animation
Special thanks also to @ashyx for initially taking a look at this device , I haven't given up on rooting this device yet.
Special thanks to @klemen241 for helping me try out the SM-T280 build
Haven't done extensive testing on Xposed modules, but the pokemon go iv mod/hacked worked and that was good enough for me (Before pokemon Go was patched). If you use this ROM feedback is highly appreciated
NOTES: To be safe, perform a cache wipe using recovery. I didn't need to do this personally but I haven't tested all use cases
NOTES: Since this rom is deodexed, the first boot will take quite a while, so please be patient .
NOTES: if you are coming from V2 and are using the mount_ext4 apps2sd scripts please update it for additional support for the V3 ROM HERE:
https://github.com/jedld/smt285_data_scripts
NOTES: (09/13/2016) Unfortunately, the V3 build fails the Google SafetyNet check, will be a problem if you play Pokemon Go
Other Notes: Removed support for zygote.init scripts in V3 as I am now using the app_process32_xposed binary, will work to get this back soon. I haven't had a need for zygote scripts though. The vold.init scripts shoud still work as before if you are using the apps2sd script
Installation Instructions:
Odin or Heimdall Required. I you are coming from the Stock Rom please wipe/factory reset to be sure. If you are upgrading from V1 or V2 you are not required to wipe unless there are problems. If you are upgrading to V3 cache wipe is recommended using recovery.
--FLASH AT YOUR OWN RISK--
1. Make sure to backup of your data and have a copy of your stock Rom in case something goes wrong.
2. Make sure your device is OEM unlocked. (Enable Developer settings and Enable the OEM unlock settings)
3. Extract ZIP file below and flash the tar.md5 file using ODIN, for details on this kindly look for instructions in the xda site.
4. For Heimdall you can use 7zip to extract the system.img from the tar.md5 and just flash the system.img itself.
Choose the appropriate download for the model (wifi only T280/ lte T285) that you have:

If you have suggestions, send me a PM.
Other Notes (So people don't have to ask):
* I've tried to run superuser daemonsu, but unfortunately the sepolicy scopes for vold and zygote are too narrow in this device for supersu to use despite being root. In theory a version of daemonsu can be made specifically to run on this device with a somewhat castrated functionality though I don't have access to the source code to figure it out. Navigating the sepolicy landmine is hard.
WIFI ISSUES
=========
There are reports of wifi problems with the latest build due to wrong permissions with dhcp hooks, if so you can do the following (big thanks to @_mone):
Using adb shell:
Code:
su
mount -o rw,remount,rw /system
chmod 755 /system/etc/dhcpcd/dhcpcd-run-hooks
mount -o ro,remount,ro /system
/system is readonly by default, which is why you need the remount commands. Reboot your device after just to make sure.
Hi,
The mount_ext4_sdcard.sh script moves all apps to SD card on reboot?
Edit: did not read till the end. System apps are not move.

It won't by default for safety purposes, however you are welcome to edit the script and try to move them all

Thanks for your hard work. It's a pity this device is not as popular as their other models or more people would have already signed the petition.
I regret not doing more research before buying this tablet.
Hello there
At first i want to thank you for your hard work so far
Then i've got a question,
I just built this Tablet (LTE version) in my car. Now i'm on to configure it with Tasker to "act more like a car radio". It was really hard, because of the non rooted device.. But i did it so far
I used a sound mod, called Dolby Atmos (i think it's from lenovo?) on allmost every of my rooted devices to improve its sound.
I'm wondering if it would be possible that you could build in this mod inside a rom for me?
Normally i flash it as a zip file via a custom recovery so it's in the system files. but maybe you could edit it in there before the rom get flashed via odin? I could give you the zip, if u dont find it. It would be really nice!
Greetings from germany

Hi,
If it's not too troublesome, perhaps the next version can symlink the host file to a r/w folder so that ads can be blocked.
Thanks.

Possible, though the only r/w partition is data and cache, and it may potentially cause problems when you suddenly try to do a wipe. I'm working on deodexing and porting xposed framework for now. Either that if you've got some IP addresses that need to be blocked I can create an edition that has those entries. I'll see what I can do though there might be away to do it without breaking factory reset/wipe cache.

May need to modify build.prop, you may do this yourself here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-tab-a/how-to/guide-samsung-galaxy-tab-7-0-sm-t285-t3438296
Also there may be an Xposed framework modules that do that. Not sure though since I'm ok with the stock DPI

Thanks. Will need to find time to re-flash this weekend.
Regarding xposed have you actually tested any other modules that need root?
I already built a rom with xposed but it was all but useless because pretty much all the modules I use need root.
most of those I tried don't need root so far (youtube adaway, pokemon go iv). Haven't tried those that need root but I suppose those wouldn't work.
I use app settings and it works for dpi change, and you are welcome. I am glad to test stuff, its fun haha. If anyone has questions about t280 you can ask me
how can i boost the volume? since its not rooted i cant find the mixer.xml
