General :: Editing Update File To Root LG Spectrum?
Feb 8, 2012
When going from 3.02 to 4.04 on the Spectrum, the phone pulls an updated file. The update file is this: (remove the spaces in the link. I don't have a high enough thread count to post links yet)
[URL]
The file itself can be opened with WinRAR, but shows that it was signed by SignAPK.
My question is this, What should I theoretically need to do in order to inject root into this so that when the update runs on the phone, it adds SU to the system directory with the correct permission settings?

Quick question: Where in the .pkg update package is the information on the build and the version of the update? I sort of screwed up my tablet, I can boot into stock recovery but not much more. ADB won't work, and AFAIK nobody knows how to enter fastboot mode on this thing. Hence, I figured that the only way to reinstall the ROM is to trick recovery into installing an update package that's already installed.
The tablet is Fujitsu STYLISTIC M532.

I have an LG spectrum and I want to root it very badly. However, with an android 4.0 update in the near future, I am afraid that rooting my phone will not allow me to get ice cream sandwich in about a month or so.
I am planning on rooting manually, using an article I found.
Before I root though, I would like to know if I can (or need to) unroot in order to receive an OTA update android 4.0 from verizon or if I need to take my phone in to get fixed for any reason.

I bought an android 2.3.6 phone which no one has tried to root( it seems). So I was wondering if I could root it by creating an update.zip file containing the su binary and the superuser apk and then installing it in the recovery mode. Will this work? I have failed with gingerbreak, unlockroot and z4root.

I have a Droid Bionic, and I have been trying to modify a version of Dungeon Hunter 2 to fit my screen. I have been using APK Manager to decompile the files. When I was trying to change the resolution in the gamerenderer.smali, the layout was different from other gameloft games. I can paste the text when needed.

I've backup a few apps from my Nexus 5 (Unrooted), I've copied the .ab file to my PC and I wondered how can I extract it to edit some file and then repack it again.
I've already tried to extract it using DroidExplorer but I'm getting an un-openable tar file.
how to can I do it right? and how can I repack it again,

I remember there used to be a thread on the website that showed you only having to use an update.zip file to root the stock 2.1. Does anybody know where the thread is or how to do it?

I have 9 GB of music, most ripped from full abums I own. But the rest is in downloaded or copied songs. The problem is that these downloaded songs are sometimes misspelled, mislabled, the genre & other info isn't filled in at all, and or the album info is missing or incorrect.The result with a great audio player app like "3" (my favorite so far) is that I might have 35 Tom Petty songs, but because album info is missing on so many of them, the app has them dispersed among 22 different albums! Very annoying. (This happened after telling "3" to search for album art.) Then there's the "Unknown Atrist" catagory where I'll no doubt find another stray TP song, etc.What I'm looking for is another app that gives me a GUI that allows me to edit all of the tag data for music files in my library. Preferably it should have a search function so that I could type in "Tom Petty", for example, and all songs by him would come up so I could comb through and edit data for each one I choose,

Eclipse keeps crashing when I make too many changes to an android xml layout file. After making a certain amount of changes I get a "Problem Occurred - Save Failed - No More handles" error message box, and then eclipse crashes. This is on
Eclipse Galileo
Version 3.5.1
Build id: M20090917-0800
Is there a new version of eclipse that does not have this crash issue?

I recently had a problem with my LG Spectrum that required a hard reset to restart the OS. I wasn't aware the photos were being encrypted. When the reset was done the phone required I enter a passcode. I entered every known passcode I have and still could not get the phone to recognize the photos on the microSD card. Is there a work around for this process? I have over a years worth of pictures on the microSD card. The LG Spectrum model is a VS920.

Phone : LG G2 vs980
Rom: paranoid android 4. 0
Android version 4.4
Stock kernel
So I'm trying to put kali Linux onto my phone using the vnc way. I have the file (1gb zipped 3gb unzipped) I have 11gb of free space on my phone. I have to get that file over to /kali a folder I created using root explorer. Yes I am rooted with supersu. I mount the system as r/w and when I paste this file into that folder my phone crashes. Like it begins to do it (gets nothing done) and then crashes. I managed to get the zip file into the folder but when I try to extract it it crashes as well. This Also doesn't work on nexus 7 2013 running slimbean. Why can't I move that file there?

Then I tried doing Toast's root and got confused at step 2 (the adb step).
Now, I know a LITTLE about what ADB is and that you basically only need it so you can use your computer to type/see things instead of doing it all on your phone.
(This is the thread that I'm using by the way: [TUTORIAL] How To Root The HTC EVO ~ Part-1 / - xda-developers)
1. So, so far, I downloaded SDK package, saw the "tools" folder and see the "adb" file. When I click on it, it pops up like a "command/cmd" screen and disappears. Is it supposed to happen like that? Or am I doing something wrong?
2. Also, in Toast's method, when he says to put the PC36IMG.zip file on the root of your sdcard. What does he mean by that? I'm sure it's something simple but I'd rather be sure how to "put it in the root of your sdcard". Just that mean just right in the front by all the folders?
3. Next thing the page says is: "adb push PC36IMG.zip /sdcard"
I don't know what he means by that. Am I supposed to do something here?
The steps follow this (until it's Rooted) I understand but not this.
4. Then after rooting there are some other steps he has in the original thread that say somethings about "adb shell, adb.. etc"
What do all those mean?

I just purchased an HTC One ( a little late, but it wasn't available in my country, Mexico until about 2 weeks ago) I checked what version of Android I was running and I was unpleasantly surprised to know that I was running 4.1.2... I tried to update the software but the phone told me that I was running the latest version available for my phone... I wasn't planning on rooting but know that i'm stuck in 4.1.2 I might try to. Is there anyway I can update to at least 4.2.2?

I have a android tablet and I have tried rooting it and I get things like "read only file system" and I looked into it and my /system is read only.. Rooting is putting .su in the xbin or bin inside of the /system. But my /system is read only so i can't root my tablet?

I just upgraded from my old Droid X to a LG Spectrum.
Now whenever I connect it to USB, for some reason it won't show up in DDMS or Eclipse. I downloaded the USB driver from LG, and tried every kind of USB mode on the device. And yes I have USB debugging on.

I hate the AT&T Galaxy Express i437 and I can't update the android version (currently on 4.1.2) because AT&T requires WiFi for the update. I also can't find a working root so that is not an option. Is there any way to update to a new version without rooting or WiFi?

What is required to root my Nabi 2. I actually only want to root the device so that I can use the foldermount app to move app data to the SD card.
A lot of the info I can find seems to be pre-OTA (well, the latest one anyhow) and I'm not sure if that invalidates the instructions.
My device: -
Stock everything as per latest OTA update.
NABI2-NV7A - US
Android 4.1.1
Build JRO03C

Is it possible to update to one of the 4.1.1 PDAs from sammobile . com (say Germany) even if my device is not from there? If it is do I have to root the device or is Odin enough? My current build is BUBLH2.
