Programs missing from market with RUU 2.1

I noticed earlier that m:zombie and m:vampire are not in the market. Any other programs that any of you have noticed are missing?

it's because the ruu is signed with test keys, not the release keys, so not everything is showing up.

That's what I figured but these are the only two apps I have seen missing so far. I was just wondering if anyone else came across more.

Most of my purchased apps are gone, and they include Basketball, Toss It, Flight Control, and a few others..quite disappointed as I did the RUU install via the .exe file and so far, haven't found a way to undo it and go back to DamageControl 2.1...

Not to laugh about this, but maybe if that RUU had been kept hidden in the bowles of someones computer that wouldn't have happened. This is what drama does....

lol very,very true!

RUU has test-key. thats means no protected apps. You should have flashed one of the many roms based on this RUU(damage,fresh or darchlegend even though its based on the Legend RUU). There already set to go.

Anyway I can do that now?

Lol, not to sound like a jerk but we knew this. I started the thread because I was wondering if anyone else knew which programs were affected. The whole idea behind loading the RUU was to test it out. It would be great if everyone didn't come in here and tell us how we should have loaded a custom ROM. Most of us probably came from a custom ROM to this, like myself.

Sorry, that was just your first post to the forum, and it had no implications that you knew how to do anything whatsoever. I was just going on what I read from your post. I was guessing you just joined and saw the RUU and flashed it. I am sorry.

Manually push flash_image to /system/bin >> You have to give flash_image permissions with adb
Code:
adb shell chmod 0755 /system/bin/flash_image
>> Root and reflash recovery (use this guide, except substitute 1.6.2 instead of 1.5.2 recovery (or use whatever recovery you want)>> Then reboot into recovery and nandroid back to your original build. You can even nandroid back to Fresh 2.0d and you will retain your new PRI.
If you have never made a backup, then download whatever ROM you want to try and use flash from .zip in recovery to flash the new ROM.
I included flash_image if you need it to push. This is not a .zip file, but I had to add .zip to attach it here. Rename it without the .zip or push it by typing
Code:
adb push flash_image.zip /system/bin/flash_image

Well I modified the build.prop last night and now all the apps are showing up in the market.

Wow, is this easily done? I'm missing root manager, but otherwise am liking the leak (minus sprint crap).
Also.notice quick boot isn't working, but I'm sure its fixable, I just haven't looked or may not have the experience to get it going.

Yeah it is pretty easy, just need to get your build.prop, then in wordpad, if using windows use wordpad not notepad, just have to make a few changes. After that you clear the market cache. When I did this last night, none of the protected apps showed up, however this morning they all did. So for reason it may take a bit to work right but it did work. Just checked and root manager is showing in my market too.
I'll just post one I found online. If you adb push this to /system/ it should work.

@Kcarpenter, maybe dont post inflammatory stuff like this and instead be helpful and we wont have drama?
@Jlem
Good to see you got it going. You should share your build.prop (or link to instructions) so others that may have made the early (and quite risky) install of the RUU could get it going. That would be a nice thing to do
Personally I think you're crazy for trying that RUU!!! hahaha ! I'm glad someone did, and I hope it all works out for you.
edit:And you did! good work

All in system/app is Read-Only. I can't even chmod.
Can't remove VVMStub_v3.apk

Using the Market Fix Ivan's ROM. Having an issue with app updates now.
About 1/2 a dozen of apps had updates pop up for me today. The update would download then go into "install" then return an "insufficient memory" error. Strange thing is that if the update was 700kb or less, the update would install. Larger updates like Handcent (~1.7M) would error out.
An uninstall and redownload/install of the problematic apps would work so I wasn't stuck other than resetting up apps like Handcent.
jcase did try to help me on IRC but I'm a tard when it comes to trying to copy/paste from the cmd window.

Busybox update.zip for incredible?

Does an update.zip exist for the incredible to add busybox to a stock rooted Rom? Or is there anyone willing to make one? I found one for the hero where they stripped down a rom and just left busybox, apps2sd, and Su. It would be greatly appreciated by many noobs like myself.

I believe Stericson has an app out that installs busy box for you with a single click. Just search "Busy box" in the market and it should come up. Not sure as to whether or not it works on the Incredible, as I've an Evo, but it should.

I tried that but it failed saying either I it couldn't remount or I wasn't rooted.

I think the unrevoked tool installs it for you.

I'll try that again, but I used 3.0 to root it. Maybe 3.1 will install it, I thought that was only windows fixes from 3.0

maybe
kind of a rookie here, but couldn't you just install titanium backup and then click the problems button. I think it downloads and install busybox??

Nice call!!! Worked like a charm. Thx.

NO

Wouldn't be permenant since NAND is still locked. Would lose it after reboot and have to do same thing over and over after every reboot.

http://www.unrevoked.com/incredible/payload-update.zip
Apply this payload-update.zip and it will install busybox. Just go to recovery and choose install zip from SD card and then choose this one
Then to test
go to cmd prompt
type adb shell
then when in shell type
busybox and you will see its now installed.

If you want the latest busybox, I've attached 1.16.2 freshly compiled.
One issue I ran into was that all the info on the forums has busybox being installed in /system/xbin. The PATH variable has /system/bin before /system/xbin, so that means the original symlinks to "toolbox" are getting picked up first - I don't know if I'm the only one who was annoyed by ls -al returning "-al: No such file or directory"
I guess "toolbox" didn't support this, so you can either install busybox to /system/bin, or leave it in /system/xbin and create a symlink called toolbox in /system/bin that points to busybox in /system/xbin.
As usual, backup your "toolbox" binary first before removing it from /system/bin.
Now ls -al returns a correct listing and I see no app breakage by the symlink method - Ti Backup runs just fine without needing to install its own busybox.
*edit - I guess this doesn't really answer the OP, but I figured I would share this anyway.

ok so I found a side effect - WiFi doesnt work after this. There seems to be a problem with dhcpcd and the new busybox, even though external dhcp support was compiled in...guess I've got some digging to do...

http://codehydra.com/Dinc/RootStock/roto-rooter.zip
that is a busybox install I ripped out of a N1 froyo root update.zip Cyanogen did, modded for the D-Inc.
Seems to work well for me.

the easy way is just to install titanium backup from the market and then click problems and it will install busybox for you in like 5 seconds

Not Really
... but it does NOT install the newest busybox; just one which is compatible with Titanium Backup.
Busybox.net shows v1.17 is the latest (unstable) release, and v1.16.2 is the latest stable. Titanium Backup pushes something in the v1.15 area.
http://www.busybox.net/

Also when I did it through titanium and went to busybox to install latest it said my system had none.

I have a busybox 1.16.2 version that I ripped from one of the posted ROMs that I can attach. It works on the Inc, and I think the whole DHCP / resolv.conf thing works too. At least it's the only version I tried where I can get wget working properly. You may need to create /system/etc/resolv.conf with some valid nameservers first though. Let me know if you want me to post it.

Hmm, nevermind. I tried with the busybox version I have, and WiFi does not get an IP address. Seems to be the same problem.
If you track it down, when you compile your version check if wget works properly also. There were some issues with that and DNS lookups. Don't forget you may need a valid resolv.conf.

I second this , I used ones off the rooting forums and it never quite worked right until I let titanium backup install it for me. Also its much easier than pushing files to your device if you are unfamiliar with doing it, because you can download tb from market and it does the work for you
Sent from my ADR6300 using Tapatalk

Easiest way to stay current is to install the Stericson app. It can't install it for you due to the NAND lock, but
1) It's trivial to extract it and install manually from the .apk file.
2) It will give you an easy notification via the marketplace that a new version is available.

How to confirm I have unrooted?

Okay unfortunately 5 mins after rooting my phone I noticed my replacement Vibrant has a bad screen. I used the one-click program to root, so I did the same thing to unroot. I downloaded ROM Manager after I unrooted to confirm the phone was unrooted and ROM Manager seems to think so (it told me to root my phone).
However, I am wondering if there is any way to *confirm* my phone has been unrooted (i.e. manually look for the root files and make sure they are not there)? I ask because I reset my phone to factory settings after unrooting, but updated.zip and chromemod folder were still present when I looked under files, which sort of scared me into thinking T-Mobile may be able to detect I had rooted.
Thanks for all the help and wish me luck for my *third* Vibrant.

su
rm -r /system/app/Superuser.apk
rm -r /system/xbin/busybox
rm -r /system/bin/su
you could also do it from adb.

Well, I know there will probably be a lot of people freaking out on me, but from how I use my phone the only use I've had so far is using cachemate to clear cache, and possibly modding the look of the os. I personally used to it to remove the annoying tmo boot and shutdown sounds/video.

Welcome to Android 30Glock
the main benefit of rooting is to be able to remove bloat-ware. Bloatware plagues the vibrant. Besides that there are other things you can do like custom roms(not many for the vibrant but they will come), with custom roms comes custom themes, also you can increase you cpu frequency. There are a few awesome apps out there that require root (Titanium Backup).
Basically think of it as you have just been given a new windows machine at work, and the admin gave you User permissions, so yeah you can do some cool stuff, but to really get in and have some fun you need admin permissions. To root/unroot this phone it is jaw dropping easy! Thank you samsung. Thank you DEVS!

Install Root Explorer and try to navigate to your system folder.

[Q] .sh script help

Hey guys, need some help with this one from some of you with more android/linux experience than me.
In my continuing quest to make Blackhole as customizable as possible I've been working on a way for users to easily install paid apps (legally downloaded of course), and stuff that I don't have available in rom manager in one easy step at the same time the rom is installed. In pursuit of this goal I've found that it's possible for the update-script file inside a clockworkmod zip to call a script in the zip as well. I've gotten it to say it's run the script, but it doesn't do what it's supposed to. here's what i've got:
#! /bin/
busybox cp /sdcard/app/* /system/app/
When I type the command into a terminal on the phone it works. When I open an adb shell and type "bash install.sh" it works. But when I get the update.zip to run the script, or run it in root explorer it just says it's run it, but doesn't do anything.
Is there something I'm missing about how to call the script? Do I need to somehow add the bash program to the zip file so it can run the script right? Has anyone ever done something like this who can point me in the right direction?

do you have an output you can show us?
Sent from my SCH-I500 using XDA App

This is a shot in the dark but does writing to /system/app require root permissions? It could be that you've given your terminal app root, so it runs under su. But when the script is being executed it does not have root and fails, but perhaps the output is being held back a bit and you're not seeing the permission denied.

Steve_ ?!
whoa, didn't expect it to be you of all people
Anyhoo, this is a bit off topic, but I've got a small request, can you somehow make BlackHole 2.4 an option on Rom manager? I don't have DL09 so I can't use 3.0, but I really like the ability to select everything to customize, instead of me going and installing one thing at a time....

Why not just add the following to the end of the update-script:
Code:
copy_dir /sdcard/app SYSTEM:
Also, is the SDCard mounted by default when the phone boots to recovery? If it isn't, or it isn't mounted while the update is processing, that will also cause the problem.

sdcard is mounted when you go to recovery, because it's got to access the update.zip file on it to install anything. I'll try your code, do you know what to put after SYSTEM: to make it go to the /app directory? thanks for the idea, it's a different way to go, i didn't think about the fact the update-script could access the device if you don't use the "package" tag.

Don't you need to add "sh" to the bin directory and define the script as so:
#! /bin/sh
if you want it to execute properly..

normally yes, but there doesn't seem to be a /bin/sh directory on my fascinate, only /bin and that's where the cp and mv and cat, etc. are.

I made a script to do this forever ago on my G1 when it first came out... Let me see if I can find it.

This has been done lots of times before. If you look around on xda there are some backup scripts which do the same thing.

Thats not the point. You need to set a shell interpreter, not a path. Cwm uses busybox sh, which is in /bin in recovery mode. Google search shebang
