As the froyo upgrades are rolling out now, you'll find that universal androot doesn't work.
If you are using windows, then its very easy to root the new builds using superoneclick.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=803682
you can do it with linux but its quicker to do it manually.
I'll post instructions later for that.. see post #3
I'll also update with some tweaks that help with battery life and speed
Thanks for this Mate
here's how to root the froyo streak builds manually.. so useful to linux / mac users and anyone who doesn't want to use the superoneclick
Code:
GET ECLAIR/FROYO version of Superuser.apk and su
from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=682828 extract the two files to the directory you're working from..
GET rageagainstthecage from
http://stealth.openwall.net/xSports/RageAgainstTheCage.tgz
extract the rageagainstthecage-arm5.bin to the same directory you're working from
open a terminal/command line
adb push rageagainstthecage-arm5.bin /data/local/tmp/rageagainstthecage
adb push Superuser.apk /data/local/tmp/Superuser.apk
adb push su /data/local/tmp/su
adb push busybox /data/local/tmp/busybox
adb shell chmod 700 /data/local/tmp/rageagainstthecage
adb shell chmod 700 /data/local/tmp/busybox
adb shell
cd /data/local/tmp
./rageagainstthecage
******this will kill adb server but manually kill it anyway and restart it ******
adb kill-server
adb start-server
* daemon not running. starting it now *
* daemon started successfully *
adb shell
mount -o remount,rw -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock6 /system
**********Follow the following steps to install Superuser.apk, busybox,su ****************
cd /data/local/tmp
./busybox cp busybox /system/bin/
chmod 4755 /system/bin/busybox
busybox cp Superuser.apk /system/app/
busybox cp su /system/bin/
chmod 4755 /system/bin/su
exit
exit
then reboot streak
************to remount filesystem as readonly,*************
adb shell
# su
su
#mount -o remount,ro -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock6 /system
# exit
exit
This is supposed to be a helpful thread to help people who want a simple easy way of rooting the froyo releases.
Not a discussion on why you cant find something
Orionbg I have no idea whether that one works as the two ways I've suggested do work..
Lets keep it simple, think about those who really struggle rather than confusing them with more info than needed ;-)
Lufc can you lock it and add it to the stickies so as not to let it spiral away.
I'd rather keep it clear and easy for people to follow...
This guide is for people who want root but want to keep their stock rom, not breaking the warranty, unlocking bootloader etc.
A proud ubuntu user, I am writing this in a new thread purely because the manual rageagainstthecage method and SuperOneClick method did not not work for me, see link to my conclusion below if you care
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=11305312&postcount=2526
What did work however was via adb shell using psneuter and its fairly simple if you follow the following commands.
This guide assumes you know how to get access to the shell via adb, if you dont then search elsewhere.
OK lets get to business!
1. Download the attached nexus_one_softroot.tar from the bottom of this post and extract contents to the same folder as adb
2. Open up your terminal, cd to the same folder as adb and the extracted files
3. Enter the following commands:
Code:
sudo ./adb push psneuter /data/local/tmp/psneuter
sudo ./adb push busybox /data/local/tmp/busybox
sudo ./adb push su /data/local/tmp/su
sudo ./adb shell chmod 755 /data/local/tmp/psneuter
sudo ./adb shell chmod 755 /data/local/tmp/busybox
sudo ./adb shell chmod 755 /data/local/tmp/su
sudo ./adb shell
After this you should see only a $ which tells us that we at the android command line with user privileges only, lets continue
Code:
$ cd /data/local/tmp
$ ls
busybox
su
psneuter
$ ./psneuter
property service neutered.
killing adbd. (should restart in a second or two)
You will now be kicked out of android shell, lets go back in
Code:
sudo ./adb shell
After this you should see only a # which tells us that we root baby! If you want to double check issue this command
Code:
# id
uid=0(root) gid=0(root)
Lets continue on. From this point we will install busybox and su which will make root permanent
Code:
# mount -o remount,rw -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system
# cd /data/local/tmp
# ./busybox cp busybox /system/bin
# chmod 4755 /system/bin/busybox
# busybox cp su /system/bin
# chmod 4755 /system/bin/su
# exit
For some reason I sometimes have to enter exit twice to leave the android shell. Again, re-access the android shell
Code:
sudo ./adb shell
Now in the android shell we can finish up
Code:
# su
# mount -o remount,ro -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system
# exit
# exit
Lastly we must install Superuser, and I did this from the android market so I knew its the latest version, its simple to get, less command input etc.
Now you have root! I hope this was simple enough to follow, I have not really written a guide before but from lots of searching I just could not find a solution for my Nexus One 2.2.1 FRG83D, especially any guide that uses psneuter.
Anyway, glad to contribute
EDIT - also, being new to starting threads, this may not quite be in the right section of the forum, sorry if thats the case mods

bootloader: Locked and Signed Irrelevant
uboot: CRACKED BY BAUWKS
THANKS TO BAUWKS
Loglud said:
bauwks method uses the flashing_boot.img to his advantage, and since it is not checked by security, effectively he has made an insecure uboot. While this is not an unlocked bootloader, it is a way to get around the security, and enable custom recovery and higher level processes to be run.
I have been looking at this line of code for a long time, and as im sure hkvc and bauwks saw it is a large (but 100% necessary) flaw:
distro/u-boot/board/omap4430sdp/mmc.c: 559 : setenv ("bootcmd", "setenv setbootargs setenv bootargs ${sdbootargs}; run setbootargs; mmcinit 0; fatload mmc 0:1 0x81000000 flashing_boot.img; booti 0x81000000");
Without this line of code, it would be impossible for any one but the factory whom could JTAG flash (but since it is secured, most likely they also have to make a flashing_boot.img).

Install the andriod SDK that is required for your Operating system.
NOTE: This will requries the SDK, and JDK both of which can be downloaded by clicking the links, downloading and installing it.
Run the andriod SDK Manager and Install "Andriod SDK Platform-tools"
[*]Modify your adb_usb.ini file to read such as the following:
Code:
# ANDROID 3RD PARTY USB VENDOR ID LIST -- DO NOT EDIT.
# USE 'android update adb' TO GENERATE.
# 1 USB VENDOR ID PER LINE.
0x2080
This will be in your /home/{username}/.andriod/ folder for mac and linux
This will be in your C:/Users/{username}/.andriod folder for Windows.
ADB is now enabled for your device, however it is not ON your device. YOU MUST DO THIS EVERY TIME YOU WISH TO ADB INTO YOUR DEVICE.
[*]To do this you will need to download any app, and attempt to install it.
You can use this app if you need.
[*]Click on the Package Installer, and then a prompt will pop up asking if you want change the settings to allow 3rd party apps.
*DO NOT ENABLE IF YOU WISH TO ACCESS ADB*
I am working on a way to have it enabled by default.
[*]In the settings page you should see *2* USB Debuggin modes.
[*]Press them both and accept the prompt.
[*]PLUG IN YOUR DEVICE.
Note* You should see the Android Development icon on the bottom of the screen.
ADB will now be able to see your device. How ever you will need to restart the server before it sees it.
Rooting using zergRush (rug2)
This is for the poeople whom have access to adb. You will also need this file. Unzip the file.
Type in the following command (while in the folder with the zergRush Binary):
Code:
adb push ./zergRush /data/local
[*]Once thats installed run this:
Code:
adb shell chmod 777 /data/local/tmp
[*]And lastly:
Code:
adb shell /data/local/zergRush
[*]You are now rooted (only for this reboot)
Installing busyboxy (ibb3)
You will need root and the following busybox file.
Type in the following command while in the location where busy box was downloaded to:
Code:
adb push ./busybox /data/local
[*]Busybox works by calling binaries from a file outside of /system/bin/. We must make this file by issuing the following command:
Code:
adb shell mkdir /data/busybox
[*]Lets make sure we can install busybox without permission probles:
Code:
adb shell chmod 777 /data/local/busybox
[*]Next install busybox in the folder:
Code:
adb shell /data/local/busybox --install
[*]We now need to take the /system/folder, and mount it as a writeable folder:
Code:
adb shell mount -rw -o remount /dev/block/platform/mmci-omap-hs.1/by-name/system /system
[*]Link it into bin:
Code:
adb shell ln -s /data/local/busybox /system/bin/busybox
You now have busybox installed
Permanent root (pr4)
THANKS TO INDIRECT for Files and Scripts
We will need SU and Superuser.apk
First we need to install the Superuser.apk:
Code:
adb wait-for-device install Superuser.apk
adb remount
[*]Next lets go ahead and push the su application up to the /data/local/ folder
Code:
adb push su /data/local/
[*]Next we will need to change the permissions and cp su from the /data/local/ folder to the /system/bin/
Code:
adb shell chmod 4755 /data/local/su;mount -o remount,rw /dev/block/platform/mmci-omap-hs.1/by-name/system /system;busybox cp /data/local/su /system/bin
Installing GApps (eab1)
THANKS TO ANALOG and INDIRECT for Scripts
First things first we need to download the GAPPS. The most reacent one is this one or get the most recent one here.
[*] Unzip and navigate to the most root folder of that package in your shell.
[*]We need to verify that adb is booting into root. To do this we can issue the command:
Code:
adb shell id
If id doesn't return root then you will need to re-zergRush your device
[*]Now it is time for us to export the apps to the directories.
Code:
adb shell mount -o remount,rw /dev/block/platform/mmci-omap-hs.1/by-name/system /system
adb push system/app/CarHomeGoogle.apk /system/app/

Your nook will now restart and tell you it is resetting.
You now have a clean slate!
Got some links for howto's on the adb connection/root.
Yeah - if someone has details on how to adb connect and root, it'd be helpful to include links. I've yet to see specifics for either.

By the bootloader being locked and signed it is very difficult to design anything that will boot besides nook roms. In order to solve this some of the Devs have suggested the following:

hopefully it is cracked soon cause i dont want to buy this if i can't have a full custom rom, all of the verizon motorola phones run roms off of 2nd init and it just isnt the same to be honest. you can never run a full custom rom with second init(well you can but you have to build the rom to fit the kernel) and honestly i want my device to be mine
you should tweet cvpcs or someone who makes and maintains 2nd init roms to get more info on it though
Can't get busybox installed
I'm stuck... I get errors for #3 for busybox... errors like...
Code:
$ adb shell /data/local/busybox --install
busybox: /data/busybox/[: No such file or directory
busybox: /data/busybox/[[: No such file or directory
busybox: /data/busybox/addgroup: No such file or directory

busybox: /data/busybox/yes: No such file or directory
busybox: /data/busybox/zcat: No such file or directory
busybox: /data/busybox/zcip: No such file or directory
So I logged into root via adb shell, set busybox permissions to execute and tried that but same messages?!
Also, adb won't let me 'remount' - (I thought i'd try to copy it direct to /system/bin)?
(I'm running from OSX, if that matters)
EDIT: and of course I'm getting...
Code:
$ adb shell ln -s /data/local/busybox /system/bin/busybox
link failed Read-only file system
$ adb remount
remount failed: Operation not permitted

Sorry it took me so long to get back to you. I have updatd my guide to help you out. First of you will need to make the busybox directory, then change the permissions of the binary file, then run the install. You will then have to mount -rw
Still some glitches installing busybox...

Thanks Loglud, but I still had trouble using adb. It's like I don't have root from adb? I get permission errors on mkdir and remounting etc?
Weird that the 'adb shell mkdir /data/busybox' gave me permission errors?! It did work fine with the interactive adb shell - weird!?
After the initial 'push' command, I could install via:
Code:
mac-osx$ adb shell
$ su root
# cd /data/local
# chmod 755 busybox
# ls -l
-rwxr-xr-x shell shell 1745016 2011-11-21 00:21 busybox
# mount -rw -o remount /dev/block/platform/mmci-omap-hs.1/by-name/system /system
# mkdir ../busybox
# ./busybox --install
Also, is the line:
Code:
# ln -s /data/local/busybox /system/bin/busybox
not supposed to be
Code:
# ln -s /data/busybox /system/bin/busybox
Things went weird on me in the final step, but I did manage to get all the hard linked busybox files to show up in /system/bin eventually, so I'm a happy camper.
EDIT: PS my mount on data is as follows..
Code:
# mount|grep /data
/dev/block/platform/mmci-omap-hs.1/by-name/userdata /data ext4 rw,nosuid,nodev,noatime,errors=panic,barrier=1,data=ordered 0 0
EDIT2:
Hmmm... seems like maybe my /data folder has weird permissions - if so not sure why?...
Code:
# cd /
# ls -l | grep '\<data\>'
drwxrwx--x system system 2011-11-21 18:25 data

ok so whats happening? i modified the guides and i was hopping that would help you. The command is
Code:
# ln -s /data/local/busybox /system/bin/busybox
and as for your permissions it seems as though your root since your in the # shell but, you have to change the permissions on your /system folder not the /data folder the permsisions on the data file should be fine since i think shell is a member of system, so you can put all your data in there.

Yeah, I'm root in the 'adb shell' because I 'su root' but adb commands fail from the Mac shell. I'll reboot my NT and give you the script. My /data permissions get reset when I reboot...
Here you are as it happens
MBAir$ ls busybox
busybox
MBAir$ adb push ./busybox /data/local
2881 KB/s (1745016 bytes in 0.591s)
MBAir$ adb shell mkdir /data/busybox
mkdir failed for /data/busybox, Permission denied
Of course there is no point continuing until I do the following...
MBAir$ adb shell
$ su root
# chmod 777 /data
# exit
$ exit
MBAir$ adb shell mkdir /data/busybox
MBAir$ adb shell chmod 777 /data/local/busybox
MBAir$ adb shell /data/local/busybox --install
MBAir$ adb shell mount -rw -o remount /dev/block/platform/mmci-omap-hs.1/by-name/system /system
mount: Operation not permitted
To get around the last error, I had to do another 'adb shell', 'su root' and do 'ln' commands manually.
(I actually ran a shell 'for loop' on the tablet, using all files found in /data/busybox as a list and issued ln commands for each against a copy of busybox in /system/bin)

MBAir$ ls busybox
busybox
MBAir$ adb push ./busybox /data/local
2881 KB/s (1745016 bytes in 0.591s)
MBAir$ adb shell mkdir /data/busybox
mkdir failed for /data/busybox, Permission denied
Of course there is no point continuing until I do the following...
MBAir$ adb shell
$ su root
# chmod 777 /data
# exit
$ exit
MBAir$ adb shell mkdir /data/busybox
MBAir$ adb shell chmod 777 /data/local/busybox
MBAir$ adb shell /data/local/busybox --install
MBAir$ adb shell mount -rw -o remount /dev/block/platform/mmci-omap-hs.1/by-name/system /system
mount: Operation not permitted
To get around the last error, I had to do another 'adb shell', 'su root' and do 'ln' commands manually.
(I actually ran a shell 'for loop' on the tablet, using all files found in /data/busybox as a list and issued ln commands for each against a copy of busybox in /system/bin)

re run zergRush exploit. your adb shell is defaulting to the shell username. by rerunning the zergy you will allow for yourself to use the adb shell as root. make sure you dont run it as the root user though. you are also more then welcome to hop in irc and ask questions.
Any one having difficulty rooting or see anything that needs to be updated?
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.
