If you notice when I got the not found error I used ADB shell to look and see what the issue was, the first time I ran 'adb push soffbin3 /data/local/tmp/' I got 'failed to copy 'soffbin3' to '/data/local/tmp/': Is a directory'

So I went and looked - the directory structure was there but the file soffbin3 was not.
Ran the command again and it copied the file - then the file copied and chmod seemed to work - but running the file did not work - tried running command and going to the directory and running command == ./soffbin3

still get not found ?? tried multiple times.
 
I am on CM10.1 (nandroid of CM10.1 works great) - currently the only roms I can run are CM 10 and CM10.1 cant go back to old nandroids - tried flashing ICS boot.img and still could not get my old nandroid to run. I Cant make` work, any roms that i have tried - virtous, trick droid, dark jelly and I think one other.

Trying new ADB tools now.
 
still get 'adb shell su -c "/data/local/tmp/soffbin3"
/sbin/sh: su: not found'

went to sbin/sh and su is not there.

However when I go to ADB shell the prompt == # which means I am root right?
 
Hmm... maybe we should work on why you can't flash Roms. Cm 10 and 10.1 will likely run on the same kernel... Sounds like for whatever reason you are not actually changing them.

are you certain there are no errors when flashing the boot images? Maybe you've gotten them mixed up and are installing the same one over and over?

Maybe describe in as much detail as you can the process you go thru when installing them.
 
Ok here is my process this afternoon.

after trying different roms.
redownloaded CM10.1 nightly (just to be sure)
Checked md5
opened zip and re copied boot.img to working directory
boot to recovery install zip from sd card
boot to fastboot -- fastboot flash boot boot.img
I am willing to try anything at this point - however if there is a chance of a non working phone I would like to wait till monday so if I need to I can go buy another phone.
 
Shouldnt I be able to go back to ICS roms if I flash the boot.img?

Also will CM10 work on stock boot.img stuff? - fastboot flash never gave an error always says writing. do you wnat to see output there?

I just read your last post on my thread about trying to find the right RUU -- how do I find out what SU I have it is not listed as an app
 
Lol you have more questions than I can answer on my phone while doing the weekly grocery shopping ;) I will answer as soon as I get a chance to read everything more closely.

You might try entering the last cmmand without the "Su" and see if that makes a difference.
 
Lol sorry, I will try to mellow.

thats ok. :) i didnt mean you should stop asking questions,i just didnt want you to think i was ignoring you. that output looks ok. you can try some different usb cables,and double check that nothing is running on the PC that may interfere with the phone. htc sync,pda net,easy tether,even i tunes can sometimes casue issues. ive seen things look fine in the cmd window,but not change the phone- its not real common,but it does happen. if something is comunicating with the phone at the same time,it can affect things.


Altaone said:

yes. you definately should. it appears that you are stuck on an AOSP boot image,and for some reason its not changing. really,all the stockish,sense based roms youve tried should prolly have booted on your stock kernel.

Also will CM10 work on stock boot.img stuff? -
unfortunately,no... cm10 is AOSP,it and JB are booting on the same kernel. sense and AOSP roms/kernels are very different because of the depth to wich sense is intertwined :eek:

I just read your last post on my thread about trying to find the right RUU -- how do I find out what SU I have it is not listed as an app
it should have an app in your app drawer. if it doesnt,im not quite sure what to think.

at this time,i do not believe youre having the "segmentation" error that i was.

some superuser apps will first give you a "$" when you type adb shell

then,to get the "#" you then need to type su. heres is where the prollem lies.

that last command,is broken down,actually into 3... you have adb shell,then su,then -c "/data/local/tmp/soffbin3"

your current rom takes you right to a "#" when you enter adb shell,so maybe the su is confusing it. what i meant above when i said to leave it out is to try it like this:
adb shell -c "/data/local/tmp/soffbin3"

as its looking for su and not finding it.

hmmm it just occured to me... you said you dont have a superuser app? :confused: maybe thats the prollem. if we could find you the super user app and binary that viper one is using,maybe you wouldnt get that error,and be in happy s off land :D

did your cm10 rom have a working superuser app? maybe go back to that,and try again.

that all looks fine. you are wiping data/factory reset,cache,and dalvik cache,correct? if not that could certainly casue issues :eek:
 
I knew I needed another pair of eyes!

I think not having su is the problem, how would I get that back or get the one from Viper?

As far as using different equipment, I have another computer that I have tried. I also have another USB cable but haven't tried that yet. Is HTC sync the only thing that I should uninstall? I also have HTC driver Installer and HTC BMP USB driver

Downloaded (from play store) super user app and it force closed :D isnt that cool. leaving that alone till I know more.

your current rom takes you right to a "#" when you enter adb shell,so maybe the su is confusing it. what i meant above when i said to leave it out is to try it like this:
adb shell -c "/data/local/tmp/soffbin3"

right so when I ran that command I got -- not found
also when I went to the directory where the file soffbin3 was and ran ./soffbin3 it also said not found - so now it makes sense the soffbin3 file is trying to do things that require su as well.

I dont know why but I was not connecting su with super user
 
Wiped cache, dalvik, factory reset, system, internal sd. Then fastboot flash TWRP again, and then install from sd super su. reboot and still not found.

Then when I went to cm10.1, opened terminal emulator and requested SU. I was asked if I wanted to allow terminal SU access, but the icon in the top left corner was not a SU icon but the CM10.1 settins icon. attached photo

That is SU[Superuser] only on CM it's built-in the system, try to update the SU version, or install it from market, if that fails try to install ViperOne S ROM and try again, i did S-OFF from ViperOne S and had no issues.
 
I dont know if I will have the time tonight, I will let you know how it goes. Also if there is any kind of log etc. that might help let me know.

I have been trying to think when I started having issues, I first was using CWM and then saw a post about CWM causing trouble with one-s so I flashed TWRP. -- I think this is when the real issues began. I have no proof though, but I had not attempted a custom rom, after changing my recovery is when I started trying to flash to Viper.

You can use CWM as the latest version if good.
Did you try and format : system/data/cache before installing new ROM [select stock kernel under install in Aroma when asked if you are flashing stock boot.img]? Also, did you manually flash the new boot.img from the Viper ROM ?

I have heard of some people having issues with the latest couple of version of TWRP and the Viper ROM. What version of TWRP are you using?
 
By default CM10 only allows root access from Apps not ADB. Go to Settings -> Developer options -> Root access, and change option to "Apps and ADB".

10.1 is still being developed... i run it on my rezound,and there is not a developer options setting yet. im unfamiliar with stock 4.2,so ive no idea if thats a 4.2 change,or cm10.1 not being quite up to speed. my stock phones are still on 4.1.

there is a system group of settings that has a "superuser" setting, where you can select apps,adb,both,or disable. maybe this is your issue... if you havent checked here,do so,and make sure you have adb allowed.

edit: i actually cant get an adb shell on my rezound... idk if this is a rezound issue,ora cm10.1 issue.

i think you should go back to cm10 and try s off again :)
 
I am on TWRP V. 2.4.4.0
I am running CyanogenMod V. 10.1 - 20130312 -nightly-ville.

Should I change them both?
Or one at a time?

If you can find a TWRP 2.3.x version that would probably solve the Viper ROM issues. I have read that the newer TWRP updates don't play nicely with Viper.
