We can get into fastboot, but when we do, the phone does a factory reset when it is booted.
 
the wallpaper app is in our sbin and its the file checking for all the system apps/files, its why our device soft bricks removing the wrong stuff. On the nexus the wallpaper app was not in the sbin it was in the apps and they were abe to remove it (they do not have a sbin). However there is really no need to try my file as I just tried it and just got the damn boot loop. Maybe I'll change the netd file and recoveryfstab thats the last ideas I got on it. I changed it from all the 4x scripts to motions scripts including build.prop,init files etc etc. Both in recovery and boot.... Im not sure where is the netd file or the recovery fstab located.
 
Please also be sure go reboot after apk install and rebpot normal again after recovery install then try boot recovery. I will be testing on my phone tonight and likely switching to the 1.2 version.
 
I just noticed it, but I never got a superuser prompt when using the apk. I think that may have had something to do with it.

(Edit) just checked supersu, it was granted , but I still never got a prompt. O.o
 
I really need the stock recovery.fstab file which i believe is obtained through extracting the boot.img. I am having too much trouble installing ubuntu on the dedicated hard drive, this may take a long while. Meanwhile, if anyboyd has the file I beg of you save me time and send it lol

Uhh, I have to eat dinner first. And I have extracted boot.img's before, I don't remember if it's in there....it might be in the stock recovery.img..anyways send me the stock boot.img and recovery and I'll extract them after dinner.
 
Im fairly certain its in the boot image https://dl.dropbox.com/u/97327128/boot.img

I extract with this file :
https://dl.dropbox.com/u/97327128/split_bootimg.pl
% ./split_bootimg.pl boot.img

then unpack rest with :

% mkdir ramdisk
% cd ramdisk
% gzip -dc ../boot.img-ramdisk.gz | cpio -i
% cd ..


If im wrong please let me know where the recovery is i will adb pull it quick. Im just not sure where its located.... I had them both unpacked on my ubuntu build that crashed =-(
