Description

Hello Rodrigo ,

thank you very much for your project - I have a 7" Android 2.2 China tablet
rooted whith 1_5_7 version of droidwall and have the same problem above :
"Could not acquire root access".I have checked permission and UID-GID via TERM
as root# in "/data/data/com.googlecode.droidwall/app_bin" of file droidwall.sh
and changed various permission (chmod 6755/775/777) but it do not work when
enable firewall via GUI (on better terminal : sh -xv droidwall.sh run ok $user
uid == 10060:10060).
I have also tryed autostarts.apk to force Superuser.apk to promote droidwall as
"root application" but unsucessfull , idem for any system help information
whith "logcat" command : do you have suggestions ?

At this time I'am study your java (api.java)code to find a solution...

Regards
Giuseppe - Italy

Research direction

The report names droidwall.sh in /data/data/com.googlecode.droidwall/app_bin and api.java; start by tracing the GUI firewall-enable path and reproducing it with logcat and sh -xv. Done means identifying why root access fails on this Android 2.2 tablet and confirming that enabling the firewall succeeds.
