one more question for you how do you get vr superswipe

it is just like a rom. just download it and move it to the sd card. do not extract it. and just flash it from recovery.

 

[georgeje]

ok i was going to do that then a friend recomended that i use capt method i am trying to run file flash_image and it says
# cat /sdcard/flash_image > /data/flash_image
cat /sdcard/flash_image > /data/flash_image
/sdcard/flash_image: No such file or directory
#

sorry for all the trouble

I had an issue with that command when I rooted my boss's phone.
Turns out I had the spaces wrong betweeen the letters etc.
double check your spacing etc.

 

[georgeje]

yes it is

 

[georgeje]

what do you mean by spaces?

 

[ocnbrze]

could also be a bad download.

 

[Rxpert83]

Just make sure you are copy and pasting the commands

 

[georgeje]

where could i find another flash_img file

 

[ocnbrze]

just re-download it and try again. sometimes the download itself could be bad.

 

[georgeje]

tried that didn't work

 

[ocnbrze]

try it from here:
Attachments - Android Forums

 

[georgeje]

still nothing

 

[Mikestony]

what do you mean by spaces?

I'm sure you figured it out but, the spacing between letters/characters
i.e... like this likethis l i k ethis

Or, as Rx suggested, copy/paste.

 

[georgeje]

yeah i figured out what you meant but thank you and yeah i just went with the copy and paste and i'm still getting the same response as stated above. any ideas on what i should do or try?

 

[georgeje]

i just caught something

C:\android>adb shell
adb server is out of date. killing...
* daemon started successfully *

 

[ocnbrze]

No that's what fine. As long as it starts successfully your fine. Not sure what it could be.. Your sure the file is not a in any folder? Just on the card?

 

[Mikestony]

yes it is

This doesn't appear to be on the root of sd card.
Looks to be in camera folder.
From post 32

 

[georgeje]

the sd card is named dcim correct?

 

[Mikestony]

No. The dcim is a folder on sd. Card

 

[Mikestony]

Go up one level...the other folders you have may be, android secure, android, audio, backups, media...to name a few..
Where those folders are is the root, or, top of the sd card.
That may be your problem.

 

[georgeje]

yea i feel completly stupid now lol but i figured it out guys thanks to all for all your help i am going through the update now

 

[MizzouBrent]

I HAVE DONE ALL THREE, SO THAT IS ALL UP TO YOU. THE COMMANDS I THINK ARE SIMPLE ENOUGH. JUST MAKE SURE THAT YOU READ AND DO SOME RESEARCH BEFORE GOING IN HEAD ON.

edit: sorry i need to get out of my terminator mode.

if you truly want to be completely s-off then either taco root or captain's method will do the job.

again read all three and see which one you think you can do. and please ask as many questions as you like.

Haha good times
