yep, i'm pretty sure permissions are where the problem lies.

Doesn't make sense though -

set_perm(0, 0, 06755, "/system/xbin/su");

In updater-script that should have set permissions right!

try adding this underneath

set_perm(0, 0, 06755, "/system/bin/su");

so you have

set_perm(0, 0, 06755, "/system/xbin/su");
set_perm(0, 0, 06755, "/system/bin/su");

Yeah its because you put su in bin rather than xbin where it usually lives.

Surely you can just type

busybox chmod 6755 /system/bin/su

Ha actually forget that you need su first lmao, its late

Hi,

To flash the full non CMW firmware, do I rename the V100R001C02B936.zip to update.app and put in dlfolder on my SD card.  Then use the volume key and on button to flash?

I want to reflash as I came from B926 + B926 vendor app chinese and used the CMW zip of B936.  I have a chinese boot screen lol.

Thanks

Splash screen can be changed and i think you need to unzip it to get the dload folder.

No. You extract the zip and use the update.app that is inside.

Yes put the dload folder in the root/main folder of your sd card and hold vol up/dn while powering on

Is anyone else experiencing a laggy B936 after booting the phone. It runs smoothly after about a minute.

[tcpaulh]

Has anyone found the shutdown animation? Would like to delete or replace it.

"Centres of excellence" He's definitely read from the same bad PR book as Cameron. They may as well just hire Liza Minnelli to dance around repeating "money, money, money". Start by hiring a new PR team, comprising of people who 'get' British culture, Mr Ren.

I noticed the Australian debacle briefly a while back; on the face of it, the concerns of the authorities definitely seemed justified. Huawei adopted the "is it 'cus we're chinese" response and failed. But maybe it less likely to be an issue here, despite the obvious money grubbing and shady connections, politicians being oh-so-keen to whore the UK to Saudi, US and Chinese business giants.

yes, it is in system/media   shutdownanimation.zip

[bladebuddy]

For those of you who don't like the vodafone boot animation. Just go into system/ media boot animation and delete using root explorer or something similar and you will return to stock android boot animation. Just thought I would let you no for those that don't.

All 3 zips delete.

[darkside2010]

does this come with the VENDOR.APP at all?, might sound really ponsy but i think i would miss my toggles to be honest...Sad i know

[bladebuddy]

No if you have already flashed the vedor app the toggles will stay all that happens is on bootup you get the android logo instead of vodafone and when shut down no animation at all but I personaly think it closes down quicker but that could be my wishful thinking.
Do a nandroid and try as there's no bad affects just good if you hate that vodafone boot animation as much as me.

my phones just running the stock B892, havent rooted or anything yet, wasnt going to it i can get around it, to be honest, getting rid of anything vodafone on the phone is never a bad thing, just want google play and the toggles and that, in other words, i really cannot be arsed to wait for vodafone to pull there fingers out and give us the update!

[bladebuddy]

Sorry I was on about the rom on this thread B936 as it has a nasty boot animation , you would also need root to use root explorer to get rid of the boot animation so sorry it's not for you.

Yeah I think somehow I had forgotten something like this. It's working now. Thanks everyone!!

Now just to have a look at how the hell to add init.d support... Any pointers?
