Fixing system permissions

Bob,

I found out that ROM Manager just applies a standard script to fix permissions on system files. A little searching and I found this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1221591

I'd like to try to run this script, but I noticed the mention of ext4 (filesystem?) so I wanted to check this out with you first. Here is what they say needs to be run to apply the script once it is copied over:

su
mount -o remount,rw -t ext4 /dev/block/stl9 /system
fix_permissions
mount -o ro,remount -t ext4 /dev/block/stl9 /system

How should I modify this to run on my tablet?

Here is a link to the zip file containing the script: http://forum.xda-developers.com/atta...4&d=1313534788

Also, do you want me to run something that will document the current permissions before I modify them? I was thinking about something like this:

ls /-l -R > /mnt/sdcard/

Will that work, or can you suggest something else? Do I need to run this as superuser?

Thanks...

If it's the Amlogic version of the tablet look in your system/etc/ folder for the init-pppd.sh file, if it has the file and has a rw permission then you can likely also get root via this loophole. I'd imagine that once Bob figures out the recovery and ROM portions on the 8p12 / 8SE it may also be adaptable to the 7p12.

Assuming you have an AMLogic processor, do you have a USB 3G dongle and an adapter cable that will allow you to connect it to your tablet?

That is not some weird request! It is the only way we have found to root the AMLogic Nextbooks, so far.

firmware package

ive read through most of this thread and i didnt see anyone mention the firmware package that fixes the netflix problem people are having.

its a generic update.img that i was able to unpack using "rk29xximagetools"
it gave me:
boot.img
system.img
misc.img
recovery.img

is there no way to inject su and superuser into system.img?

if you goto http://www.nextbookusa.com/download.php scroll down to the updates drop down selection and then pick firmware downloads, nce that has loaded scroll all the way down to the bottom. its entitled "NEXT7P-12 Netflix Update"
click download application and it gives you an update.img

The Tablet we are working on is a AMlogic 8726M3 Chipset ...Assuming you have the RK29 Chipset .. two totally different systems .. Nextbook Is Famous for changing Hardware MidStream ..

I 100% gaurentee you that the download from nextbook is Rockchip not AMlogic. Amlogic does not have update.img in that structure and in fact does not use update.img. It uses update.zip. That ROM download is for the "known" previous nextbook tablet based on RK29.

As for an update. Sorry guys work (real job) has had me busy the last few days. Hopefully I can work on this tomorrow again.

Sorry yes I did just for got to respond. What reason do you have for wanting to "fix" permissions? This is in ROM manager and ClockWork to fix permissions when porting a ROM or update.zip where permissions are not set in the script properly. I do not believe running this will do anything for you and in fact could hose you up.
Also last time I used this was on Gingerbread and later when I tried it on ICS my tablet would no longer boot. ICS and above tightened up permissions on files for security reasons. Back on gingerbread it alsmost did not matter what the heck the permissions were e.g. files could be rwrwrwrw and everything would still work. On ICS this is not longer the case and in fact can keep you from booting. So again.. I would not mess with this. What do you think it will do for you? Certainly it is not to "root" you even more. Again the idea is to fix permissions for ROMs that are not correct.

Make sense?

I don't have one of those since I don't know what one of those is. I did download the update.zip with superuser. It rebooted, started to update then gave me some errors so it did not install....I got very excited.
