For those Tablet S firmware version is not US version, or got the error after execute "adb shell am start -n com.android.vpndialogs/.Term"

Code:

adb shell am start -n com.android.vpndialogs/.Term
	[COLOR="DarkGreen"]Starting: Intent { cmp=com.android.vpndialogs/.Term }
	Error type 3
	Error: Activity class {com.android.vpndialogs/com.android.vpndialogs.Term} does not exist.[/COLOR]

The VpnFaker.apk is needed to be resign.

Here's the resign method: (Sorry that I don't have my Tablet S on hand today...)

Install "ZipSigner 2" to your tablet. link
On your PC, open VpnFaker.apk by 7zip, delete folder "META-INF"

copy the VpnFaker.apk to /sdcard, rename it

Code:

adb push VpnFaker.apk /sdcard/VpnFaker_unsign.apk

Open "ZipSigner 2" on your tablet.
Press the "Input" button and browse /sdcard/VpnFaker_unsign.apk
Press the "Output" button and save it as /sdcard/VpnFaker.apk
Key/mode select "platform"
Press "Sign the file"
copy the resigned apk back to you PC
Code:
```
adb pull /sdcard/VpnFaker.apk
```

For those who has already tried to inject the VpnFaker.apk, please rollback by the following command. Otherwise, skip this part.

Code:

adb shell
	cd /data
	mv system system3
	mv system- system
	mv app app3
	mv app- app

Redo the process again.

How to type "id" in the terminal emulator?
I pressed "Toggle soft keyboard" but no response =(

rrlu21 · Sep 15, 2012

Hi WonderEkin
I followed each step of your instruction and stuck at "mv system system-" as pic attached shown:

Please kindly give your advice, thanks!

PS: After I pressed "Restore" and reboot, all my app data was wiped out, my tab was reset to factory status.........
======================
update
after use your rollback code, it's okay now
I'm in the terminal emulator phase.

MTP device(you tablet memory) and adb interface are different.
Can you find any unrecognized device in the device manager?

There is an android adb interface in windows hardware. But adb does not see any attached devices

Signed the VpnFaker apk like you said, but no luck.

Code:

C:\Dados\ADB>adb shell am start -n com.android.vpndialogs/.Term
Starting: Intent { cmp=com.android.vpndialogs/.Term }
Error type 3
Error: Activity class {com.android.vpndialogs/com.android.vpndialogs.Term} does not exist.

Interesting entries in logcat:

Code:

I/installd(  102): new connection
I/Installer(  164): connecting...
I/PackageManager(  164): /data/app/VpnFaker.apk changed; collecting certs

W/PackageManager(  164): replace old version
I/PackageManager(  164): Time to scan packages: 2.797 seconds

After reboot, the entry "updated" for vpndialogs in packages.xml vanishes, and the entry "package" was automatically changed to the /system apk:

Code:

C:\Dados\ADB>adb shell
[email protected]:/ $ /data/local/tmp/busybox grep vpndialogs /data/system/packages.xml

Having similar issues I can't get restore settings. ab to work

Sent from my Desire S using xda app-developers app

Try to reinstall drivers.

I've got the worked adb.

But I've got another prob. Like that:

HTML:

C:\...\ADB>adb shell am start -n com.android.vpndialogs/.Term
Starting: Intent { cmp=com.android.vpndialogs/.Term }
Error type 3
Error: Activity class {com.android.vpndialogs/com.android.vpndialogs.Term} does not exist.

So, I've signed VPNFake.apk a few times but I have not luck:crying:

I also get the error (.Term does not exist) with my Sony Tablet P 4.0.3 :crying:

I had also the "system2 - access denied" problem, but i solved it after i tried it a second time. This time i made every step more carefull then the last time, et voila -> ROOT!
So if you also get this, just try it again (maybe with a partner who checks every step a second time) and your problem should be solved.

PS: If you are using Win 8 like me, try to do it in Testmode and make sure you run cmd with admin rights

I have such permissions when I check the datetime

HTML:

-rw-rw-rw- shell    shell      200436 2012-08-27 00:00 VpnFaker.apk
[email protected]:/data $

Is it correct?

Get the/data access first

Code:

adb restore settings.ab

Check the result

Code:

adb shell ls -ld /data/data/com.android.settings/a
	[I][COLOR="DarkGreen"]drwxrwxrwx system system    a[/COLOR][/I]

And continue, ignore the "rm -r a" permission denied error

Code:

adb shell
	cd /data/data/com.android.settings
	rm -r a
	while : ; do ln -s /data a/file99; done

While the loop is running, open another cmd console and run

Code:

adb restore settings.ab

Once the restore process is completed, you can press CTRL+C on the 1st cmd console to break the loop

papacarla · Sep 16, 2012

I've did already, and All is working

Check the /data permission" "link failed File exists
link failed File exists
^C
c:\Sony>adb shell ls -ld /data
drwxrwx--x system system 2012-09-15 08:57 data"

i have repeated several times but i just keep getting the same error

Sweet as I have root,dont know what the issue was just worked third try

TypoCorrecto · Sep 15, 2012

I was getting this:

Starting: Intent { cmp=com.android.vpndialogs/.Term }
Error type 3
Error: Activity class {com.android.vpndialogs/com.android.vpndialogs.Term} does not exist.

I have a Tablet S, US Tablet, US Firmware, what am I suppose to do with the VpnFaker.apk?

"For those who are no using the US firmware, the attached VpnFaker.apk may not suitable for your tablet.
Please follow this steps(click me) to resign the VpnFaker.apk. Thanks."

Not clear to me...
