Since I cant post in development section I will ask here if someone can help me. I have U8800 with 2.3 stock rom and I cant remove stock apps (swype in my case).I am rooted with DooMLoRD_v3_ROOT and SU is instaled. I did find apk file (/cust/hw/default/apk) but I am not able to remove it. I tried with titanium backup, root explorer, terminal emulator (cant find target) and with super manager.It seems like I am half rooted as root explorer cant mount rw in cust directory but works in system directory.Any idea is welcome,thank you!
You need to do it manually via adb shell. First to mount the partition as rw and then to remove it. I want to remove this file too, so I' ll try it asap.
EDIT:
I tried but this partition which is on /dev/block/loop0 cannot be mounted rw, I get a permission denied error.
.
In pinkscreen mode delete cust.image file,then delete apps with titanium backup.
We want to delete only some apps.
With your way we loose all huawei' s custom configuration, it' s like we don' t install step3.
This is not a solution.
I hope that we can find solution for this as I want to instal costum swype with my language enabled (slovenian) and can not do it untill I remove stock one. If any of you can post in development section maybe you can ask there if they know the solution for this, thank you!
I fixed it.
I deleted all unneeded apks (stock apps) that stored in cust.img
My method;
1. On Slitaz Linux 3.0
2. Open terminal
3. Copy cust.img from phone to /home folder
4. mkdir tmp
5. mount cust.img /home/tmp
6. cd /home/tmp/hw/default/app
7. Delete apk files what you don't want
8. unmount tmp
9. Copy cust.img from /home folder to phone
Ok, but I dont have linux or terminal on my computer. Is there any way to do this via terminal emulator on the phone? Or is there some step by step guide how to do it as I am not really familiar with terminal or its use.

This is "cleared" cust.img. That contains only these apks;
BeyondTheSkyTheme.apk
Calendar.apk
CalendarProvider.apk
DeskClock.apk
ToolBox.apk
1. Download this rar archive and open it.
2. Start your phone in pink screen mode
3. Backup original cust.img to your computer
4. Copy "cleared" cust.img from rar to phone.
Thank you,I managed to install swype in my language and it works great. I was wondering if there is any chance to extract all factory .apk files and post them somewere so people could donload them and install them if they want. I am missing that weather clock widget but swype is far more important to me, so thank you again to make it possible.
This rar archive contains all apks that stored in cust.img -->> http://www.multiupload.com/8DWKNVTXML
Just copy apk file (which ones do you want) to "/system/app" folder and restart.
or
This is only TotemWeather.apk -->> http://www.multiupload.com/IWX7U3G5FU
Just copy to "/system/app" folder and restart.
Thank you, you are the best. Will this cust.img work with 2.3 beta which will be released this thursday according to Huawei? If not I wont update again as I just managed to adjust phone to my needs.
I hope, it will works with the new update. If not, i'll fix it when update released.
could you give us a cleared cust.img for the official 2.3.5???
This is the latest 2.1 for ZTE OPEN C, to install download extract to /sdcard/clockworkmod/backup use .50 recovery to install by choosing restore, navigate to /sdcard/clockworkmod/backup/new_2.1 then let .50 recovery restore 2.1, reboot and enjoy 2.1
in recovery mode
backup and restore > restore from /external_sd > new_2.1 > yes restore

This is the best build of Firefox OS I have ever used, omg. I don't know what it's like for you, but I can't find many bugs.
thanks man
overall i like it
the only negative is when unstick App Transition, opening/closing app/setting becomes very slow (in 1.4 i did unstick to make it faster/smooth)
2.1 works well, however 1.4 is more refined, closer to being released, Once 2.1 gets closer to being released it will be the preferred firefox version.

It can't find the folder.
Unmounted and mounted the external_sd didn't help.
What's going wrong?
Thanks for the build!
But could you please explain how to use .50 recovery?
I am trying to flash it to my open c with:
adb push cw_recovery_50.img /sdcard/cwm.img
But I get:
failed to copy 'cw_recovery_50.img' to '/sdcard/cwm.img': Read-only file system

You don't have to adb push the recovery to sdcard, use fastboot to boot recovery.
fastboot boot cw_recovery_50.img
or to install recovery
fastboot flash recovery cw_recovery_50.img

Well I've got an sdcard in it which I used on 1.4. Or do I need to initialize it or do anything in particular? I even did 'format' of the recovery menu..

Unless you have used recovery to make a backup, then you need to create all the folders, if you have used recovery to make a backup, folders would have been created except for new_2.1, which is made when you extract 2.1.
if you don't have /clockworkmod/backup folders on your sdcard you need to make them, then in /clockworkmod/backup extract 2.1
in recovery mount external_sd
then post output of
adb shell ls /external_sd/
adb shell ls /external_sd/clockworkmod/backup/
Thanks for the tip!
I managed to get .50 recovery working, but now when I am restoring from external_sd it says:
Error while restoring /system!

That usually means bad download, you may need to redownload 2.1.

I re-downloaded it and it now falls with hash mismatch for system.ext4.tar.a
I tried formatting the sd card with .50 recovery but it still gives that error.
Is there any way to do the update via fastboot by any chance?
No, your sdcard is bad, if you have room on internal sdcard, make folders and extract 2.1 there.

I just did an adb push to the card:
adb push new_2.1 /sdcard/clockworkmod/backup/new_2.1/
But when I'm in .50 recovery - it does not see the new_2.1 folder. It only sees the one it created earlier when I did a backup.
Any idea what the heck could be wrong? xP
No ideal without looking at your sdcard.

Sorry about all the stupid questions, just the last one - can it be done via 'zip install' in recovery by any chance? Or does it have to be through restore?
The version I uploaded is restore only, you could make a zip install if you want, use Google to find info how to build cwm installation zip.

Ok, thanks for the help!
I'll post the zip here if I succeed in making one.
I have jamal2367's [AOSP] official 4.4.2 - S4 Google Edition ROM installed (final R1.2) a SGH-1337M.
The other day it started getting stuck on boot; the blue, red, yellow, green circles just continually go in and out without anything else happening. I have booted into CWM Recovery (v6.0.4.4) and done a wipe cache partition and wipe dalvik cache but it did not help.
Can anyone provide advice/steps on how to copy the data (mostly pics and WhatsApp history) off this phone? SMS history would also be nice but not necessary.

I would make a backup in your recovery and then flash the rom you had installed. See if that helps.
Edit: You didn't try to update. I changed my comment saying you had tried.
1. Download Aroma File Manager
2. Put a external sd into your phone.
3. Boot into the custom recovery and flash the Aroma file.
4. It will boot into a file browser and you can copy all the files from internal to your external.
ps it's possible that your custom recovery already has a filemanager build in. Then all these steps are obsolete.
I boot into AROMA Filemanager but I can't see anything on the internal SD card (see attachment).
Any ideas? Does that folder icon mean the "sdcard" folder is encrypted?

Is it encrypted? Then probably it won't work. In that case just reflash the rom you are on without wiping.

I don't know, that's why I am asking what that icon means?
You say CWM is working, so you can just adb pull everything you need. Applications usually save data in a directory under /data/data or /sdcard/Android/data.
You should find the directories you want with adb shell, then you can adb pull them, then if you reflash your rom you can adb push them back into the same locations. Also, depending where they are saved, your pictures will most likely not be deleted when you reflash your rom. Better safe than sorry though.
If you don't have adb you'll have to download the binary, or you can install the entire Android SDK. Which operating system do you use?

The icons means that it's symlinked. If it's not encrypted then you should find the data. It can be in an other place then where you are looking. Try looking in /data/media or some other maps in /data
Or just flash the rom you are currently on without wiping.

You need to mount partitions to see the contents.. Go to Aroma File Manager Settings and check the option "Moumt automatically partition on boot".. then restart your recovery and flash again the Aroma File Manager

I've had devices where the first thing I did with them was unlock bootloader, fastboot flash recovery, and then go into recovery and adb sideload, all without booting the system.

Yes and I believe that. But from version 4.2.2 android forces rsa encryption. So you need to boot into your rom and enable it. Unless the custom rom/kernel has disabled it, but I haven't seen any that have.
Hello guys,
I can't copy any app to system/app, nor command in the terminal or with apps from playstore. And I can't flash any zip because after flash and reboot, Android starts a kind of recovery and deletes any changes the zip did.
I'm using the latest stable version of MIUI7
Any solution?

Do you think this will work with my hard bricked phone?
so if our system is still ro, all we have to do is mount rw every time? I was hoping that we would only need to mount it like one time, because im basically doing the same thing I was doing before.

I use ES File Explorer. Open the app, wait for su to grant it access, then change the system to RW. I've noticed that the phone will freeze if I tried to switch to RW before the File Explorer was granted su access.

I noticed that too. I also tried to see if root explorer would mount rw after I used es to mount rw, and it turns out that u still have to mount system separately in both file managers. Bummer because I was looking for a way to always have my system mounted as rw between both file managers.

I'm guessing once a custom rom is available, the whole system RW situation will be situated. Is there an advantage of root explorer over es explorer?
