Open port.sh find and replace gedit with path-to-scite( if its default path, just scite)
Regards
N

So this does not work with gedit at all?
The script keeps trying to extract the rom files into the same exact folder, causing conflicts. Also, when it tries to open the build.prop files it thinks they are in folders named after the ROM zips that are never created. Has anyone gotten this to work yet?

You need to put the contents of exploits.zip in the same directory ADB is in
ok what in that zip needs to go where?

take everything that is in exploits.zip and move it to your android sdk directory specifically the location of adb.exe (will either be in platform-tools or tools) as for the two RUUs, they can be anywhere but you will have to move them at one point to your SD card. That is about it

Nano for Android

Here's the NANO text editor for the Android. This is not completely my work, I just compiled the threads I found on the net and made the flashable zip only.
I tested a little bit with Terminal Emulator and seems like it's working fine.
Enjoy.
Installation: Just flash with recovery. Requires aprrox. 1.5mb space in System partition.
Hi
Thanks, i didn't try it ('cause I already have nano) but i think this flashable solution is the easier for installing nano! :good:
Great!!
Thanks

Maybe you can look at the "settings" section of your terminal emulator. Some emulators make Volume Up key as Control character etc.

Thanks for replying, but I mostly used it in recovery via aroma file manager, and there's no setting so far ...
I want to edit updater-script without rebooting and computer I have zip and unzip binary yet, but no text editor (echo "" >> is not a good way to do my work)
Much thanks, it works!

[Utility] Android boot Manager APK

Android Boot Manager (ABM), my goal is to make the procedure (Backup, Unpack, Edit, Repack and Flashe boot.img or recovery.img) so easy and accessible to all users without resorting to the command prompt , only a single click to get a quick and successful outcome at the same time .
This is the third version of the program.
Source (GITHUB SOURCE https://github.com/aToxyD/android_boot_image_manager_apk).
WHAT'S NEW
- Some optimization.
- Add new Text Editor with high syntax.
THANKS
* xiaolu, original author of boot.img tool(GITHUB SOURCE https://github.com/xiaolu/mkbootimg_tools).
* Modding.MyMind, for his heavily modification of boot.img tool.
* Tah Wei Hoon, for TextWarrior.
* Dmytro Tarianyk, for Android Floating Action Button.
* Anthony Restaino, for Grant.
IMPORTANT
- Root is only necessary for Unpacking boot patched by "superSu or Magisk" and Backup/Flash Operations, so if you want to unpack stock boot or you have your favorite flasher apk like "Rachr", if so you dont need to check "Root Access" in settings menu.
- Please uninstall any previous version of ABM before installing the newer.
I do not like people to coming here and take what they wanted and leave like a thief , at least leave a comment. . .
This work is for all, so help your self.

This is the second version of the program.
WHAT'S NEW
- Corrected some bugs related to compatibility with Android 6.
- Use xiaolu mkbootimg tools (GITHUB SOURCE https://github.com/xiaolu/mkbootimg_tools)
TODO
- add support to x86, mips arch.
- add support to put files to unpacked folder.
- add support to combinedboot , in Xperia device recovery ramdisk is combined with system ramdisk.
IMPORTANT
- The apk need root access to work.
- Note that make change by adding files to unpacked folder with root explorer, the owner will be root and the apk will not work, if you do this you must change the owner to ABM apk.

But beware when you add new files to the unpacked folder , you must take into account that owner will be. root , so you must set owner to ABM apk.

It seems that you delete the directory /data/local/ABM, So close the apk and open it again or wipe apk data and try again, if any problems tell me please :thumbup:

It's been a while. HELP!!

Okay guys first off sorry if there's a thread for this but XDA has become so over crowded and full of comments it's just to much to read through and try to remember. But anyway
Can anyone point me in the right direction or simply explain real quick how to properly root the T-Mobile variant. I'm running full stock (Obviously) I'm on H91810j and would like to debloat a little and use greenify. Any help is appreciated.

There is literally speaking a thread dedicated just for the sake of rooting and twrp lol. Here:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/v20/development/h918-recowvery-unlock-v20-root-shell-t3490594
It should take about 3 to 5 minutes to complete the whole process if you know what you are doing. If you are a noob it might take sometime to figure out were to go from one step to another
Also, just remember, there is a search function on the v20 section's main screen. You can always use keywords and the function will search what you are looking for (if someone has posted something related to That). As French prople says... "Bon chance|"
P.s: yes. The rooting method by jcadduono works for 10j

Wait. I forgot to tell you. You cant double click the files. The files can be accessed only by using cmd. (command promt). So, extract the files into a folder, and use cd or pushd in dorect it to the directory where the files are. That is the proper way.

For starter... Whats the directory where you downloaded and extracted adb fastboot? Assuming you are using the file i sent you. Was it on the downloads directory? If so open cmd (not in administratibe mode) and type pushd Downloads . Then ise all the start the adb server by using adb start-server to recognize your device.

You could use the desktop but it is more troublesome to type the directory. Thats why i suggest to put it on the downloads folder and asked you to not start the cmd as administrative. Because when you dont start it as administrative, cmd will start right from the users folder and then is only a matter of writting pushd Downloads. Focus on the first part first. Otherwise you will go nowhere lol.

Okay I got into the download folder using cmd (pushd download) i tried doing adb and hitting enter after and it brought up a bunch of lines after that. I did adb devices and it shows my phone but when I do fastboot oem unlock it just hangs at waiting for devices. USB debugging is on and so is OEM unlock.

EDIT: updated link. Tested it myself and the previous one didn't work. This one does :good:
Also, just in case you would like to go back to previous state, instead of deleting the cmd DWRD as stated on part 10 of the tutorial
10. Delete the DWORD with the name HideBasedOnVelocityId.
I suggest you right click on the name, select "rename" and just add an underscore _ like this _HideBasedOnVelocityId
Do the same if you follow the second part of the guide and want to hide the "Open PowerShell window here"

This didn't work for me. I tried renaming first and then deleting the entry. None worked. I went back and tried again and all the settings are already correct as per the guide. I did it again anyways and still nothing even after a reboot. Not a huge deal since I can still just open CMD and cd to the correct location. I have mine at c:/SDK/platform-tools so it isn't a huge pain. Any ideas? I took the latest Creator update.

Cheers...
EDIT: updated link. Tested it myself and the previous one didn't work. This one does :good:
Also, just in case you would like to go back to previous state, instead of deleting the cmd DWRD as stated on part 10 of the tutorial
10. Delete the DWORD with the name HideBasedOnVelocityId.
I suggest you right click on the name, select "rename" and just add an underscore _ like this _HideBasedOnVelocityId
Do the same if you follow the second part of the guide and want to hide the "Open PowerShell window here"
Cheers

What the heck, I wonder why it isn't working for me. Is your username (for step 6) a single word or two? Mine is my first and last name. I don't think that should be an issue since when I type it in and hit check names it shows up as PC NAME\FIRST LAST so it doesn't seem to have any problems with that. Checked the box under it, deleted registry key. Changed admin to full control & nothing. Tried giving USER full control as well and nothing.
I've followed the steps 100% about 8 times now, I know I'm not missing anything, but it just won't work for me. :crying:

For user name I just put my email and hit ok then it automatically put my first and last name. Also make sure to allow full control for administrators. Then delete the dwords

Yep yep, did those both and still no dice. Just powershell. IDK what's going on.

Hey,
Not sure what's the problem. I tried it before posting, because i didn't want to post it just assuming it would work. Check the attached screenshot. Just followed the tutorial and i got "Open command window here" back...
Yeah it's not working for me. Oh well.

I don't give up so easily :good:
Try adding this *.reg file: Enable Command Prompt.reg
Just double click and accept... Open it if you wish, basically, it's just the "HideBasedOnVelocityId" renamed to "_HideBasedOnVelocityId"
I didn't find infos if it also needs proper permissions.
Let me know if it works...
Also adding a "disable command prompt" in case you want to revert the change. I just found the *.reg somewhere and edited it a bit...
Cheers...

I tried the *.reg file just for fun and it seems it still needs proper permission though...
By the way, did you properly set the full control at step 9?
Strange, but after a reboot it disappeared for me until i set "full control" for my username (Seb desktop as you can see on the attached screenshot) and not administrator as per the tutorial... This thing is really weird. Doesn't work for you, disappear after reboot for me, lol...
Good luck...
Option in settings for powershell or CMD... I think

I remember someone complaining that powershell was default and told me how to change it. Right click taskbar then navigation or properties. I'll look tomorrow if that isn't correct. My mind is so foggy sometimes

Hey,
Check the OP and the second post of this thread. This doesn't have anything to do with what we are trying to achieve...
Thanks though...

yea thats wrong, I was half a sleep. I remember someone telling me about switching from ps couple of days ago but as usual i wasnt listening.
Just put "./" before your commands in power shell.
(Without the quotes if that isn't obvious)

Hey,
I set adb + fastboot path in environment variable and forget about it...
Still your post doesn't help to replace powershell by Command prompt using contextual menu which is the matter of this thread... :good:
Chers...
