Perhaps you need to make sure your script programs run in su/root mode?
(Another possible issue: Maybe your script (and mine) should end in .sh? When I tried to download my "fix" file using Android's browser it said filetype unsupported. But when I renamed the file on my server to fix.sh it allowed me to download. So there is a chance your script programs [??] require scripts to end in .sh ?)
PS. What are these script programs? Maybe we can make the fix script easier for people by using a GUI click-and-run solution, instead of requiring people to go into a console and type out "su" and "/sdcard/fix"
Hehe. I'd say maybe yes  I can type it by hand and it works (that's how I figured out I forgot the 'user ' part) so I know the script is OK... but it has to be +x ("chmod +x scriptname") to make it executable, and it has to be run as root ('superuser' why we type "su" before entering commands.) Although I think when I downloaded it from the web it was already +x / executable... don't know if that will be true for copies over USB too... |
Yep, when I use EStrongs File Explorer to view/edit files and I use Android Terminal Emulator. I always start out by typing in 'su' or another program I tried as well there was a "Super User" radio option I always selected. The program editor sometimes capitalizes the first letter and I have to remember to double check that, but when I check the files manually they are never changed.
I tried the .sh and it did not work either.
Thanks again eval- for all of your suggestions.
