IQ IQ 701 - files in system folder overwritten - shell has no executable permissions :(

josh9383 · 08-12-2011, 10:25 AM

Hi All,
I was trying to Update firmware to have market working, however I had already upgraded firmware to most recent one. And then I ended up with problems. Latter I tried fixing files manually using adb with root permissions and I ended up deleting files under system folder. I again restored files there - however now shell itself has no executable permission

. Any idea how can I get things working again? Now when I try to boot my IQ 701 - it just cannot proceed as "shell" does not have executable permissions. Even Inserting external SD card with Updated firmware cannot help - as shell does not have executable permissions. Is there any solution for this?

all I can think of is to go back to the original FW. Have you tried using factory reset?

If you can use Adb try to change permission to restored file to 775 or 777.

Hi,
What way can adb help in changing file permissions? "sh" (shell) itself does not have executable permissions.

adb.exe shell
- exec '/system/bin/sh' failed: Permission denied (13) -

This is what I see. Also due to this reason my IQ just keeps looping in boot process. I tried inserting SD-Card with old, latest, repack firmware updates after this happened. But it appears that IQ 701 is not at all reading anything from external card now.

Try connecting to your computer, loading 2.06 FW onto main memory.
