[Q] USB jig

[dayv]

Step 6 is copying it to the device just fine, but then Step 7 I think has something awry because it just brings up the adb shell usage instructions.

adb shell su dd if=/sdcard/zImage of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p5

Try this, break the command up into its individual parts as follows

enter

adb shell

enter

su

EDIT --- What to do if you get permission denied ---
Note: if you get a permission denied open you phones main launcher page then re-enter the "su" command in your terminal adb shell and watch your phone to see if super user is popping up asking for permission, if it is allow it. One other thing that could cause permission denied is if you phone is not in debugging mode so if you are still getting denied on your phone got to settings>applications>developement and make sure usb debugging is checked.

enter

dd if=/sdcard/zImage of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p5

Then last as a quick way to exit the adb shell and reboot

enter

reboot

I'm getting Permission denied on "su"

The instructions on my post have been edited for what to do if you get permission denied after the "su" command

Ahh I wish I had been in here earlier while I discovered and set up adb on my own.

I also had to change over to Entropy's exp DD kernel in order to change my boot animation... so Im back with the triangle until my jig gets here.

Two different people followed the guide link to setting up adb in Mac osx that is in post #77 and pm'd me back, it took both of them about five minutes to get set up. So it looks like that is a good resource if you are interested.

Thanks but I've already got everything set up on my own. Just wish I had seen this first as it took my about an hour to track down all the info I needed.

I am certainly taking down everything you said in here and putting it somewhere for reference in the future just to be on the safe side.

Excellent, glad you got it running.

I would just like to thank dayv and will be doing it on the forum once I get on my comp. He's been very helpful. And he's right about getting the adb set up on a mac using that thread, its not hard. Thanks!

you can use the app to "thank". click on the post, and you will have the "thanks" option along with "quote", "reply", etc..

None of this should delete user data/apps correct? We are only switching out the kernal a couple of times right?

That is correct. You are just doing a kernel swap, no data or settings should be affected.

Now if at the end of the process you are using a different kernel than when you started you may very well have some types of performance differences.

Just recieved mine from Mobile Tech Videos .com worked great.
just turn the phone off and plug it in, then unplug it and power off Phone again.
definaly worth the $10 in my opinion.
