I take it from your last statement, that you got it it to work successfully?
 
Indeed. I tried running emulator first as suggested and it came back that the file did not exist. Verified the file was there with a file explorer as akaxabam suggested and went forward. So today I did this and downgraded my hboot to eng bootloader and my phone appears to be happy again! Going to have to find something to break it again tomorrow.
 
Cool, you got it working. I wonder why you couldn't find it with the terminal emulator. Did you get su, first? It might not be able to even read it without that, if you forgot to do that first.
 
Excellent point! I never can keep straight what does and does not need su. Was so tired I didn't even think to try that.
 
Well, I just checked, and "others" has permission to view init.d on my phone, so I didn't need su to view it. If you care that much now, try this (with su if it's still not working):

ls -l -d /system/etc/init.d/

Assuming that works (I don't see how it wouldn't at this point, as root), you can see the permissions. Now that you've flashed it though, the permissions would have changed to what the update script does, so this is probably pointless, now.
 
Haha true :p I am back on trying to figure out pandora again. And why ra wont work as my recovery anymore. It just hangs at splash screen everytime. Going to try a fresh copy of the zip.
 
I find it hysterical how you two had some running conversation in another thread, and how it continues to migrate from thread to thread! :p

Lol. Well, on that note, I'll be brief. Where did you get RA from and have you tried different versions?

When I try to download the SD speed test app it says not supported on this phone no app can be found to open this download, am I doing something wrong
 
I'm having a problem checking to see if I have the file. Maybe I'm not in the root directory. In terminal emulator, when I type "adb shell ls /system/etc/init.d" without the quotes, I get:

sh: adb: command not found

My prompt is weird too. It looks like this:

sh-3.2#

Anybody have a clue?
 
My SD card is the stock 8gb card test results are write speed 4mb...read 2mb says it's a class 4 card with these results would I even to to check for already having the file from above post. I'm running mikfroyo 4.4 with netarchy 4.3.1 more havs sbc
 
Just flashed the zip file that akazabam made and test results are write 4mb read 8mb big difference thanks guys

1) That command is what you run when you're using adb from your computer. adb is the generic adb command. shell is the adb command used to invoke a shell. Anything after that is what you want to run in the shell. If you're just using a terminal emulator on the phone, you have to get rid of the adb shell part. Just run ls /system/etc/init.d.

2) That's the generic sh prompt. Not sure why you're seeing it, though. What terminal are you using?
