OK, A2SD works. Apps are installed in /system/sd, but with root I can see everything via adb...

Good.

But anyway, why does Settings->SDCARD bla say the internal memory gets lower? Hmm... :huh:

I believe from reading that it still uses it as a kind of cache hence it goes down slightly. I just banged 10-12 programs on there and it only dropped about 2mb on the Internal storage.

Im actually on ubuntu 9 32bit and says it cant see the files, does anyone have a clue what this means?

root@ubuntu:/home/magic/pushfiles# bash recovery-linux.sh

recovery-linux.sh: line 2: ./adb-linux: No such file or directory

recovery-linux.sh: line 3: ./adb-linux: No such file or directory

root@ubuntu:/home/magic/pushfiles# recovery-linux.sh: line 4: ./adb-linux: No such file or directory

do i need sdk installed on linux to run this recovery-linux.sh?

It appears that you haven't put the pushfiles folder anywhere

Put the pushfiles folder in the user folder (the one with pictures, music etc), open up terminal and use these commands:

cd pushfiles

./adb-linux kill-server

sudo ./adb-linux start-server

sudo ./recovery-linux.sh

But you work on it? And you have the .80 Bootloader?

My Thought was:

.75 -> rooting -> .80 update = works

.80 -> Rooting =! works

Or?

And why don'T you reply me on twitter? :huh: Wanna see my german translation?

No, avoid .80 update altogether. Besides, why do you want to update your bootloader? There's no point.

If you have .80, we can't root currently.

I don't speak German very well. :P

i am completly stuck guys on the final part, for the life of me i cant get the recovery-linux.sh to work. when i click on it and run it nothing happens, also when i run it fro terminal i just have this pop up

root@ubuntu:/home/magic/pushfiles# ./recovery-linux.sh

./recovery-linux.sh: line 2: ./adb-linux: No such file or directory

./recovery-linux.sh: line 3: ./adb-linux: No such file or directory

./recovery-linux.sh: line 4: ./adb-linux: No such file or directory

every file extracted is in the folder in question, but its not working;(

Is it because i dont hae the sdk installed on linux? Does anybody have any insight into what this could be?

Thanks,

Bill

in unix (and as such, linux, too), the path looked for finding executables does NOT include CURRENT dir (.)

so, if a binary is in path (check with: echo $PATH), you could call it simply by name: adb-linux

on the other hand, if a command is in a directory not in path, you can call it in 2 ways:

absolute path: /home/user/adb/adb-linux

or using dot-slash preceeding the binary name, from THE DIR containing it:

cd /home/user/adb

./adb-linux

in ubuntu, you need to preceed all these commands with sudo:

sudo ./adb-linux for example...

or, become super user and than use commands without repeating sudo every line:

sudo -s

then you are root user, and commands are usable as is, without sudo

Please could you explain me how to install app2sd. I created ext3 filesystem, and then go to recovery menu, and than what?

What to choose next?

I will remove the requirement for a Windows machine tomorrow...

No problem, just rename the rom.zip to PB99IMG.zip . Did it without windows (to lazy to reboot).

If you have .80, we can't root currently.

I don't speak German very well. :huh:

I thought you had updated... :P

So my really really last question is:

Will we get root-access with the .80 Bootloader?

I can't update, because I have this one... :blink: O2 is strange.

They have on all 02-Desires and old Baseband with a Laggy-Browser, but have a new Bootrom! ... Strange.

Paul, is it correct that the superuser app just goes to black screen right now, as I haven't installed anything other than the root itself?

Would you? Maybe, maybe not, only time will tell.

:huh: Will you work on it?

Can't believe that my 509€ expensive phone doesn't get root.

Guest sucramco

Anyone live close, want to do mine?

Ok, silly question.

Seeing lots of people having problems and my self not ever having used linux, I am scared of doing this.

I am a total uber noob, if there is such a thing, I was able to do load the generic rom using the gold card method, even though it nearly wiped my brain.

They say don't root for the sake of it, but I am sick of no space on the phone, so the A2SD would be fantastic.

My question is, will this be made easier to do, or will it be possible to do through Windows 7 eventually? Maybe a guide for for dummies will help.

Oh what to?

check ./adb-linux attributes. It should have the executable bit. Set it if it's not:

sudo chmod +x ./adb-linux

Just to be sure... Can I delete/replace some files from rootedupdate.zip? I want to remove annoying startup sound. It is in /sytem/media/android_audio.mp3 or /system/customize/resources/android_audio.mp3? Also in some zip archives I found Thumbs.db file :huh: .
