I have successfully installed a Superuser.apk but it does not seem to be working properly. Titanium reports that Su does not elevate to root.
I have debugging enabled and I have connected through adb shell but nothing seems to work.
Anyone have any success? If so, which version did you use?
Here is my method
I download 2nd link from here :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=682828
After unzip (E:\Android\ROOT\step4\ directory for my example) :
adb shell mount -o remount,rw -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock2 /system
adb push E:\Android\ROOT\step4\system\bin\su /system/bin/su
adb shell chmod 6777 /system/bin/su
adb install E:\Android\ROOT\step4\system\app\Superuser.apk
adb reboot
trying this now, will report
thanks a lot works like a charm..
i can confirm this works perfect
very good... spread 30min to install it yesterday night...
Will be included in new version. Sorry just forgotten
Regards
Bin4ry
You make very good job so no problem for that
Thank a lot for your hard work !

I am trying to do same thing with mediascape , but I get error
"Failure [INSTALL_FAILED_DEXOPT]", I am reading on google that its something related to the .odex file, how can I install/or whatever I have to do in order to be able to put mediascape back.
I know I just could restore and than root again and remove rm command for mediascape from ch file, but I am trying to remove more branding apps of telenor firmware and flash and root again with clean system.
PS: Messing with my phone as I don't have any knowledge in programming...just google.
Thx
Hi
You can try to do this :
adb shell
su
mount -o remount,rw -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock2 /system
cd /system/app
cp /sdcard/apps/mediascape* .
cp /sdcard/apps/MediascapePluginManager* .
reboot

I got mediascape back as I did't find better media explorer.
One thing can anyone explain what this lines of code mean(Jerpelea's mediascape restore), each separate if u can, I am trying to understand. As I said I am no programmer but I like to learn.
Thanks.
I've tried doing this 4 times... and it's not working ^^;;
Is it missing a step? Or is this all that I need to do?
I get no errors when doing it yet the program isn't working a shown in the screens realunited... ^^;
taye look into the second post of the guide thread -- it has all the info necessary, else: poke me on irc

Hi,
since a few days I have my first andriod mobile the HTC Hero. I have rooted it and everything works fine.
However, I found several interesting images for the G1 (JesusFreke or CyanogenMOD and so on). I suppose that they will not run on the HTC Hero :-( (yet). Sombody know if there is someone working on it? A google search is not that easy because the most roms are based on the HTC Hero sence and so you can easy find 100 hits with hero but all roms are not for the hero itself.
Does somebody have busybox running on the hero? I searched for a while but found nothing Hero specific. My first try to use a exiting manual for G1 did not work without problems. The most manuals are old and suggest to use a custom rom which include busybox.
Maybe someone has a hint for me
I want to test debian but the istaller use cp and so on. So busybox is a good starting point.
Cheers
Visios
download the attachment (busybox taken from cyanogen's rom), extract busybox and copy it to sdcard, then (if you have root):
Code:
adb shell
su
mount -o remount,rw /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system
dd if=/sdcard/busybox of=/system/bin/busybox
chmod 4755 /system/bin/busybox
mount -o remount,ro /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system

tx for your info and the extracted busybox bin. It worked without any problem.
Do you have tried to use busybox install and export the path ?

Yeah, I could google it but I'll just ask here instead, busybox - what's it good for?
It provides a lot of the standard Linux/Unix utilities - such as cp, rm, df, ls, ps, grep, etc. The toolbox program provided in the HTC ROM is a "crippled" replacement for busybox and doesn't have some of the functionality. For example, Market Enabler doesn't work with the stock ROM because toolbox doesn't provide the grep utility.

Oh, I see. Well explained, sir!

Code:
[URL="http://www.mediafire.com/?wcknmnhtin0"]http://www.mediafire.com/?wcknmnhtin0[/URL]
Does anybody know what version of Busybox is in the original post?
And if I want to upgrade, should I just follow the instructions over again with the newer version?

on a command line on your pc. this is not the right place to start for you, get a guide on how to setup adb on your pc first.
Wow. "abd". That's a new term now isn't it.
Ok. I'll skip it. Just looking to control my Samsung Moment on my PC like I was able to with my WM phones.
I'll keep looking around. Thanks for the help.
hey guys,
ive just started to learn how to modify apks and use adb.
my problem is that after i pull the file, i modify the icon i want to change, re-sign it and push it back to the phone. after i reinstall, the icons have not changed :S i re-pulled it, and the icons in the drawable_hdpi file are the one i wanted.
also, completely unrelated to that.... in adb when i try to run adb remount, it says permission denied, but im rooted and i even tried running the shell root beforehand aswell.
i ran a search and followed the various instructions from the different threads and forums but im just stuck at that point
thanks guys

If you're getting permission denied how have you pushed it back?

i push it to the sdcard lol because it wont let me push to the system/app folder nor the data/app folder. i check my screen and a pop up appears saying that superuser granted access, so i have that.

Then it's no wonder your icons haven't changed if you haven't installed it to the phone.
Try, but keep your phones screen on whilst you try it...
adb shell (enter)
su (enter)
...allow super user access on phone...
mount -o remount,rw -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock2 /system

ok i just tried that. when i typed su, it echoed and on my phone it said "unknown has been grandted superuser permissions" so i didnt need to click allow or anything.
then i typed the mount -o remount,rw -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock2 /system and got mount: operation not permitted
any ideas?

I always struggle trying to get permissions after I've first rooted but can never remember the exact sequence, but do know it's a combination of what I've suggested.

cd sdcard
cat x.apk /data/app/x.apk
and that worked perfectly lol
Is there a way of doing this yet?
Or do we have to shell root after each reboot?

Since I starting using Z4Root never had to do a shell root. Done flash, push apps with AC-SWM and the optimizer. Also used ADB method to change build.prop.
Before that used SuperOneClick to root and shell root, sometimes took MANY interations to get to take.
Try using Chewitt's Installer.
Or in your prompt, write:
Code:
adb shell
su
mount -o remount,rw -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock2 /system
chmod 4755 /system/bin/sh
I know there has been a lot of tutorials how to root the Xperia X10 mini. But almost a lot of them don't work (for me). But there is one way to root it.
It is very simple, you need to follow the instructions, then it will be easy.
1.) We need to download Android SDK, link: http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html
2.) We need to download SuperOneClick.rar, link: http://shortfuse.org/
3.) Unzip the SuperOneClick .zip and pull out the su-v3, busybox, Superuser.apk, psneuter, and GingerBreak files, and rename the su-v3 into su, and place all the files in adt-bundle-windows-x86-20130219/sdk/platform-tools. I recommend changing the "adt-bundle-windows-x86-20130219" to something simple like "Android SDK".
4.) Now, you have to use CMD, open it, and type the location of your files, type like this, cd C:/Users/Me/Desktop/Android SDK/sdk/platform-tools.
5.) Now plug in your phone, and make sure your debugging and unknown sources are on.
6.) Now write all the following commands, one at a time!
adb devices
adb push psneuter /data/local/tmp
adb shell
$ cd /data/local/tmp
$ chmod 777 psneuter
$ ./psneuter
adb kill-server
adb devices
adb shell
# mount -o remount,rw -t rfs /dev/block/st19 /system
# exit
adb push busybox /system/bin
adb push su /system/bin
adb install Superuser.apk
adb shell
# chmod 4755 /system/bin/busybox
# chmod 4755 /system/bin/su
# mount -o remount,ro -t rfs /dev/block/st19 /system
# exit
adb reboot
And now u are all done! Your phone will reboot, then download Root Checker, and check if you are rooted.
If you write "adb shell" and you don't get "#" in the ending (not the beginning) but "$" then you have done something wrong, check everything that I wrote. If u have some problems, don't be shy to tell me.
Thanks a bunch, this tutorial was the only one that worked for me. What's more, I saw the procedure step-by-step so I saw exactly what was going on.

Sure it's called root, To get full time shell root you unpack your boot.img change the default.prop to insecure repack and flash.
Just like below.

Adbd insecure app also works. In your shell, just type SU and accept the SuperSU/SuperUser prompt
