Thanks- I will try next time. I just borrowed the two folders I needed from a friend on XDA who was running 2.2 ota and deodexed that way.

mount -o ro,remount -t ext3 /dev/block/mmcblk1p21 /system

When I type in this mount command, I get the following message:

mount: Device or resource busy

I assume it doesn't matter much, as dr 154's post for revised command lines doesnt even include this mount command...just exits.

I am hoping this is the answer because I am sticking with it. lol If this is a bad idea, please tell reply.

so try these, which worked for me...

adb shell
su
stop
mount -o remount,rw /dev/block/system /system
cp /sdcard/done_app/* /system/app/
cp /sdcard/done_frame/* /system/framework/
rm /system/app/*.odex
rm /system/framework/*.odex
exit
exit
adb reboot

 

[Muchoburrito]

Everything went through cleanly. This is what you are supposed to get as the results. Odex failed because you are "de"odexing.

******************************
For those that are stuck at the command line, this is what you need to do:

1. Download android sdk packages (look up on google) and extract them to
c:\AndroidSDK and then run the SDK Manager to install the packages.
2. With your phone connected and in pc mode, open up a cmd prompt on your computer.... i.e. click start, type cmd, click enter and a dos prompt should open up.
3. type cd\
4. type cd\AndroidSDK\tools\
5. Now type the commands

can't remove directories

I'm a newbie to Droid X and Linux, so be gentle ...
I did the following in the command window:
adb shell
su
stop
mount -o rw,remount -t ext3 /dev/block/mmcblk1p21 /system
cp /sdcard/done_app/* /system/app/
cp /sdcard/done_frame/* /system/framework/

When I tried rm /system/app/*.odex I received an error message saying "rm failed for /system/app/AccountAndSyncSettings.odex, Read-only file sytem".

Does that matter or can I continue?

 

[hka148]

I got "cp: write error: No space left on device" at final steps. What can I do

hmm.. not sure why your filesystem reverted to ro mode especially since the cp commands worked.

 

[ppazz1101]

Everything works until i try to copy the files. It starts working, then i get "cp: write error: no space left on device". Any ideas? I've tried multiple times and every time it freezes. I have to restore after that.

Either you don't have enough space on your device, or maybe you don't have /system mounted?

 

[Sleuth255]

for "not enough space" issues, try removing apps that you downloaded (you can re-install them later) or use a program like Titanium Backup to remove bloatware. The DX wiki has a link to a list of bloatware apps that can be safely removed.

 

[mrm0rbid99]

Tested and does NOT work with Droid 2 2.2. Phone locks up at "cp /sdcard/done_app/* /system/app"

I think you might be mistaken, this worked perfectly for me on D2

 

[Adilaaa]

Can the code above be done on terminal emulator on the droid x

if still unanswered, no, because the "stop" command freezes your phone so it does not crash while the files get replaced

 

[happenstance314]

I am getting an error that the .odex files are read-only.
How do I work around this?

 

[stevemoffler]

cant run adb commands what to do??

 

[lunchbox2]

Something went wrong during this process

hey guys, I was in the middle of doing this, and got to the final steps where you have to mount stuff. This is what I did:

C:\Program Files\Android\android-sdk-windows\platform-tools>adb shell
# mount -o rw,remount -t ext3 /dev/block/mmcblk1p21 /system
mount -o rw,remount -t ext3 /dev/block/mmcblk1p21 /system
# cp /sdcard/done_app/* /system/app/
cp /sdcard/done_app/* /system/app/
# cp /sdcard/done_frame/* /system/framework/
cp /sdcard/done_frame/* /system/framework/
# rm /system/framework/*.odex
rm /system/framework/*.odex
# rm /system/app
C:\Program Files\Android\android-sdk-windows\platform-tools>adb shell

As I was typing in the rm /system/app command, the phone disconnected from the computer for some reason, and i got booted back to the prompt:
C:\Program Files\Android\android-sdk-windows\platform-tools>

I tried to run shell again but I just got the error: device not found message.

Now when I try to turn on my phone, I get a bunch of weird messages on a black background saying

"The application Voice Commands (process com.nuance.android.bsuite.vsuiteapp) has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again." It says force close, but if I do that, the message just pops up again.

What do I do! I can't use my phone at all!

Update: Now the message has gone away, but the phone is black. I see the top menu bar, where it tells me the time (which is wrong), shows the battery bar, and shows that I am not connected to a network. It also shows me the advanced task killer little green icon. I can pull down the notifications menu bar, but it won't let me launch task killer. The power button works, as does the back button to get out of the power menu, but that is all that is working right now. Is there a way to just reinstall everything? I did a rom backup, but its stored on the phone I think. I used the rom manager to make the backup.

EDIT: Found SBF info, flashed. Phone is working again.

I have the same exact problem. I have tried so many different suggestions & been reading and searching many forums for hours and seen this posted quite a few times but never really answered. I did see this mentioned in the help section for the application...

"ADVANCED MENU- Option "2" will apply the core.odex patch (REQUIRED) if your phone is originally has .odex files and you deodex. v1.0
*NOTE: The core.odex patch is only required if you phone is NOT deodexed (Do not use if your phone has no .odex files OR you have a mixed ROM!)*"

but in my version of xultimate (2.2.2 & 2.2) ADVANCED MENU Option 2 says TBA and is not available.

My D X is rooted with Froyo 2.2

 

[Ronbo85]

In case anyone stumbles on this problem too I found a thread somewhere that addresses the problem. What you have to do is update your java on your PC. Thats what some other posters did to resolve the issue and it worked for me as well. I simply went to the sun micro site d-load section and grabbed an update.... problem solved!
