Make persistent changes to init.rc

Question

I want to change the init.rc file of an android pad. But after I change it and reboot the system, the original init.rc comes back.

How can

Answer 1

I don't know if you are still trying to do this but without knowing your exact device nobody can give you an exact answer.

Try taking a dd image of all your internal partitions and use some scripts like those included with android kitchen on xda forums. Your recovery and boot partitions will both have a ram disk but odds are you want to modify the init.rc in the boot.img not recovery, unless you only want the changes present in recovery mode.

The unyaffs thing doesn't apply to all devices and most devices have different partition layouts so you have to figure out which is boot and what type of fs it is. Maybe if you give your device specs you can get a better answer.
