Hello, Using an ADP2, I followed the instructions at the "Building for an Android Dev Phone" link at source.android.com/source, using "sapphire" instead of "dream" and found step (4) run "adb root" fails with error "adbd cannot run as root in production builds".
I came across entries in the "Android-DevPhone-Updating" group which say that the ADP2 is not built with a userdebug build, but with a user build, and has no root access. I assume the next step (5) in the above page needs root access on the device to run vendor/htc/sapphire-open/extract-files.sh in order to extract the proprietary binaries from the device. My questions are: 1) Are those proprietary binaries available elsewhere for the ADP2? 2) Do the rest of the instructions in the above page do anything without doing (4)? 3) Is there a reliable work-around for the adb root access issue? 4) Does this rule out the adb (recovery image) method of flashing the device? 5) What is the method to install a custom build of the OS on the ADP2 phone? thanks -- unsubscribe: [email protected] website: http://groups.google.com/group/android-kernel
