"invalid MTD block" while installing Anti-Theft
« on: August 18, 2012, 07:37:13 PM »
Hi everyone.

I'm not new to avast mobile security - I've had to use it before on my old mobile. So, when I bougth my new Hero H9000 (aka Zopo ZP300) I decided to install avast too.
But I had encountered a problem here. I'm using a rooting installation of avast Anti-Theft (my phone IS rooted). After downloading customized installer package and trying to install AAT I get "Invalid MTD block" error for both "Direct Write" and "Recovery Image" methods - screenshots attached.
Any suggestions and help on this error are welcome!!!

Not MMC though, but eMMC.

Wikipedia says

eMMC describes an architecture consisting of an embedded storage solution with MMC interface, flash memory and controller, all in a small ball grid array (BGA) package.

mount -o rw,remount emmc@android /system

It goes ok.

uid=10091 gid=10091 groups=1015,3003@android:/ $ export PATH=/data/local/bin:$PATH
uid=10091 gid=10091 groups=1015,3003@android:/ $ su
uid=10091 gid=10091 groups=1015,3003@android:/ # mount -o rw,remount emmc@android /system
uid=10091 gid=10091 groups=1015,3003@android:/ #

Hi,

I have the same issue. My phone is rooted also but when I try to execute: mount -o rw,remount emmc@android /system it says operation not permitted.
Please advice.

Do you execute "su" before executing "mount -o rw,remount emmc@android /system" ?

With su mounts great and my system folder gets rw permission but still invalid block when trying to install avast as root

The update to this error is not released yet. You have to wait when avast gets official update on market.

I really like all the options on avast especially the anti-thief. Great feature and i would suggest you to make a hidden pictures from the front camera if possible in the next release:).  Even i am using it on my PC and recommend it to all my friends. Since this is a place to report bugs i would like to point another issue. If i make a hidden call (to get the phone number of the changed SIM card) from my avast account the screen goes black which should hide this action. But when i close the calling the screen still stays black which is hard to remove with any button pressing. The only way to gain a control of my menu is to restart the phone. I am using ICS 4.0.3. Does this is the same for other versions of android or is there any way to return my menu without restarting the phone?

is the call going to the mailbox? then we can not detect this which is a typical result
