Hello All and thank you for the amazing work going on.
This question might have been answered, but I didn't found it.
I bought the dev phone at google and updated it to cupcake following this which is solely intended for adp1 :
http://www.htc.com/www/support/android/adp.html
Here are the versions installed :
Baseband : 62.50S.20.17H_2.22.19.26I
Kernel : 2.6.27-00393-g6607056 [email protected] #1
Build : dream_devphone-userdebug 1.5 CRB43 148830 test-keys
from my computer, when getting the prompt after the command "adb shell", I can type su and I don't get any error message ; it seems I can root to it.
But on the other hand, from the app Terminal Emulator on the phone, when typing su I get the error message "su: uid 10046 not allowed to su"
Do you know what's wrong if any, and if I am really root ?
And if not, how to get to it?
Thank you
guyiom
did u use the tmobile cupcake us release? if you did, that rom is not rooted and you should use a rooted cupcake rom like CyanogenMod or JF. I suggest CyanogenMod
Use adb and input the following
adb remount
adb shell
mount -o remount,rw /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system
cat /system/bin/sh > /system/bin/su
chmod 4755 /system/bin/su
You're welcome
in fact as I posted, I said it seems to be rooted from adb but not from device itself. the update I used was provided by HTC only for the dev phone (it is explicitely said not for tmo g1)
anyway what dif between JF and Cyanogen ?
I already donloaded JF 1.51 one. How to apply it (or cyanogen) then ?
Thank you for the quick reply
guyiom
DOHCtor you ROCKS !!!
you just forgot to mention after the adb shell to go to root by su
then all commands went fine
as I like to understand, do you know the reason I had these symptoms ( root in adb but not on device) ?
again thank you very much.
as of ever, nux communities are reliable

They were trying to patch a hole without covering it up completely for the dev phones. Just a security thing I'm guessing.
but the update was for rooted pĥones, so that's weird from htc.
anyway thank you again, from now I will document myself to get JF or Cyanogen.
From your signature you seems to have both, one for recovery, one for running. Can you tell me the differences between them ?
thank you
guyiom
Cyanogen's Recovery Image is amazing and will make your life a lot easier. I suggest using that instead of the JF recovery image. As for the ROM it self. i also suggest cyanogenMOD since its the fastest and probably the most stable in my eyes.
Hi and thank you for the reply,
So are you suggesting me to download this file : http://code.google.com/p/android-roms/downloads/list/cyanogen_JFv1.51_CM3-ADP.zip and rename it to update.zip to go to the process with Power + Home buttons ?
Thank you

This little gem of a phone is a tough little thing to custom install apps on, but that didn't stop the Coburn from being able to get busybox installed.
Therefore, introducing Busybox for your HTC Click/Tattoo!
FOLLOW THIS TUTORIAL CAREFULLY. This guide may brick or NOT brick your Tattoo (most likely the latter), however I cannot assure you that it's 100% fail proof. I have installed it successfully. IN OTHER WORDS: THIS IS NOT FOR THE FAINT HEARTED! IF YOU DO NOT KNOW WHAT 'FLASH','ADB' OR 'HACK' MEANS, PLEASE DO NOT CONTINUE.
Requirements:
1 HTC Tattoo (The Victim)
1 MS Windows Powered Computer (I used Win7 64Bit)
1 HTC Tattoo -> USB Cable (Included with phone... Well, it was in the box).
Download the package attached to this post. Extract all files to a directory like C:\BUSYCLICK . (Actually, please extract them there).
Installation
Connect your Tattoo to your phone, make sure USB Debugging is enabled (Settings -> Applications -> Development) and sit back. Windows should say "New Hardware! OMG!" and ask "What is this piece of tech?" (aka New Hardware Install Wizard). On XP, allow to search Windows Update. On Vista/7, I'm going to have to get back to you on that. The installed driver will be like "HTC Dream blah blah blah ADB Interface" or something. Odd why it says it's a HTC Dream...
Anyway, go to the folder where you extracted the files, and run the Installation.bat file. It's the one that says "Installation" With the cogs icon.
You'll get a DOS Prompt and some text, PAY ATTENTION! My installer will hold your hand and explain what's happening. Should any errors occur, you may be out of space on your Tattoo's internal memory or something. If you do get errors, please post them here! I'll try to fix them for you guys and girls.
Post-install tasks
When complete, run the TestBusybox.bat script in the same folder where you extracted the BusyBox files, and you should get some output. If not, busybox failed to install... Let me know what the error is and I'll try to fix it.
Notes:
You can use the busybox commands in /data/local/bin from "adb shell" or a terminal emulator on the phone itself... /data/local/bin/sh DOES NOT work from adb shell, I don't know why. It will work using a terminal emulator. Try "/data/local/bin/free" and such for some memory read outs, etc, etc.
Feel free to love/like/hate/kill/shoot my work, you can expect to see ROMs and the like in the near future as I love hacking devices.
Cheers,
Coburn64
Ok busybox installed normally...
Do i have root acces with busybox now? I dont see su...
C:\Busybox>adb shell /data/local/busybox ls /data
ls: can't open '/data': Permission denied
I do see /data/local and under tho... including ../bin and ../rights but dont see any use of it...
Coburn Hi, this is a step closer to being root
can be root in busybox?
chmod command does?
thx
Code:
benno.id.au/blog/2007/11/14/android-busybox
chmod command is useless without su...If only su worked
Installed and worked fine, can run busybox but:
it runs with shell privileges
setting setuid bit doesn't solve, because I can chown to root
Do I miss something?
Thanks Really appreciate your work!
Do you have to install the new RUU Click HTC WWE 1.63.405.1 WWE test signed NoDriver first?

All this does is allows you to run more commands from the shell in Android, whereas the standard shell doesn't have many commands built-in. Could be used in conjuction with a root hack.
One step more, but nothing to do with root
I'm starting to believe that Click will never have a root method working because its underused compared with other android devices

I was able to install Busybox on my phone successfully. But the problem is I don't know what it's for. Would anyone be kind enough to post a link or a tutorial for this? Thanks.

Busybox just allows you to use more features at the adb shell command line. So, yeah. Heh.
You lost me at 'adb shell command line'. Is that some command line provided by the Android SDK?

Sorry if I lost you. Let me sum it up: It's a 'feature pack' for Android Developers, which could be used in conjunction with rooting tools.

That code is old, and apparently won't work. It won't compile either, Paul from Modaco tried it and it just spat the dummy and gave a make error.

That's the code for the old asroot exploit (used in the Hero IIRC). It's been patched in August/09 so it won't affect the kernel in stock Tattoos.
Yeah, that's what I was getting at - the exploit is too old.
We need to either:
1) Get a S-OFF bootloader
2) Find another working root exploit
3) Dig around in the test ROM and extract the SU binary out of that sucker and put it in /data/local on the working ROM.
I think I can do the latter.
I just switched to the samsung captivate (build number:ECLAIR.UXJI2) after being an iphone user for years. I put in every mod in that i could, unlocked it, & jailbroke it as much as humanly possible. Android is totally new to me. I have sucessfully rooted my device, but have no idea how to unlock the nand protection in order to install busy box so that I can install certan apps and utilities. My other problem is that I dont know what nand is, what busybox is, or what they do. I'm unfemilliar with the android terms as well and what they do, sush as flash, rom, ect.
I put 20 hrs of research in, in the last 3 days on line, and all i got done was a root.
I know im asking alot, but i can return the favors of android info with iphone info.
Thanks in advance to who ever helps me.
Did you download busy box app from market?
Busy box is a set of commands that many root programs utilize

After u root:
1. Go to market and search for busybox and install it.
2. Open busy box, and follow the steps in it install the required commands.
You should be good now.

Wow, I had my phone rooted and flashed within an hour of even learning what it all was.
Video tutorials are the best way to learn the basics, and once you have a grasp of what youre doing written instructions become easier to understand.
I recommend watching as many ROM review and install videos as possible, make sure to watch them more than once and while youre actually doing the steps.
thanks for the quick responce
I did download busybox from the market, but it tells me that everything is unavailable, and that my phone is rooted but my nand protection is still on. Plus busybox tells me that it can't find itself, whatever that means. lol
Pls let me know how to correct this.
By the way I used super 1 click 1.6.3 to root my device.
Thanks ppl your all awsome.
I also watched lots of videos, but could not find anything specific to my device. What other device videos are compatible in content with my samsung captivate?
thanks again.
Did you click install in busy box?
I dont know why but Itried busy box again and it installed. Now i think I just need nand protection removed andthe on click lag fix installed. it still wont install

I would not use one click lash fix, but that is just me. If you want a lag fix consider a custom rom. One click lag fix is obsolete
thanks for the heads up. I installed the one click lag fix for now. When i learn how to use custom roms, ill uninstall it and use an up to date rom.
some help

Also before doing too much i'd familiarize yourself with the ODIN one click and learn about it as well as download mode so you know how to fix a bricked phone, well a soft bricked one.
I used super 1 click to root my phone, but anything you can send me is most appreciated. I will not be able to thank you enough.
Try rooting again with Galaxy one click root.
What will galaxy one click do for me that super one click wont?
They both essentially do the same thing. After your phone has been rooted you need to see if you can find the Super User app. It should be installed on your phone.
I've meant to update the Q&A sticky with what versions are easy to root.. so I apologize for not having it there.
When you install anything that requires root access (hence why your phone is rooted to begin with ) you would get a pop up requesting to have that application gain root access.
But.. there are only a few 3rd party apps that require root access if your not going to flash a custom ROM.
Titanium Backup btw will install the latest version of BusyBox for you - it is a highly used application to backup your system and applications for your phone.
Another highly used application is ROM Manager (used for flashing ROMs)
I would highly suggest you get familiar with how you restore your phone back to stock - then check out teh sticky under the dev forum on how to flash a custom ROM.
Then your on your way to becoming a fellow flash junky
I'm in the same boat as groovydude.
I have a 2 month old Samsung Captivate (first smart phone). I'm trying to root it. I have run SuperOneClick at least 6 times trying everything that I can find in the forums. I have drivers installed. Does anyone know if this tool will work on this phone, or if there is a tool that does. The output from SuperOneClick-ShortFuse is below. Every time it runs it tells me it is rooted, and every app that I open requiring root tells me it is not.
I have tried instructions to root via Update.zip. The instructions were to drop the file on the internal sd. When I plug the phone into the usb port, two drives show up. Nothing can be dropped on either. They both say to insert a disk. I have no external sd card. Does anyone know what might be the holdback?
Also, SuperOneClick said that BusyBox was installed, but I could not find it, so I downloaded Stericson's BusyBox installer. It failed to install with a message that the phone was now rooted but BusyBox was not found. It said the application failed because the phone is not "nand unlocked." What is nand unlocked? The only unlocking procedures that I can find instructions for are to unlock a phone from a carrier. Is this what "nand means"?
I tried Titanium Backup to install BusyBox, and it complains that the rom is not rooted after both other processes said it was. TI offered to download and install BusyBox and it failed too.
Does anyone know why all these procedures say that they have rooted the phone but nothing still works? Or what is nand unlock? and how is it done?

The new update blocks the current ways of attaining root for the device. However, if you have root before you update, it is possible to retain this during the upgrade.
Script is online!
A newer version is available here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=12540398#post12540398
Yeah... I'll just wait for you
Thanks for this! been holding out on the update ever since I found out you lose root during the beta testings
if this works i guess it's time to get my desktop back up and running so i can flash back and use this. damn power supplies dying on me.
ill wait for ur auto script
will this b possible btw neone?
Flash the 1.5.7 sbf -> run gblur custom rom -> run the root scrip
No Gingerblur needs root to push its files, also if you need a host I can host
Scripts are online!
Run beforeupdate.bat, update, then run afterupdate.bat.
Haven't tried it yet but wanted to say thanks and great work!
--EDIT -- BELIEVE THIS IS FIXED--
you didn't package the bin folder with psneuter.. :X
In reference to "adb.exe push movesu.sh /data/local/tmp > NUL 2>&1"
movesu.sh is now backup.sh, yes?
Also busybox "mv /system/xbin/su /system/bin/frozenfish" clobbers the copy from system/bin, if there is a difference, i thought it was generally a symlink to /system/bin.
Other than that, good idea in renaming the binary file, I probably won't use frozenfish in case Motorola targets that now..
Sounds sweet! If I already updated can I flash back to old then re root? Then run script then update?
Sent from my MB860 using XDA App
Update: Yes You Can ! just finished..
Whoops - I based it from adeo without making the proper changes. Corrected one should be live in a few minutes.
all good take your time..
so far the only corrections were the movesu.sh in beforeupdate.bat
and the missing /bin folder :X .. well technically you just need psneuter in there.. and just change the /bin/psneuter.. to /psneuter saves you time lol
The new version is up. It depends on su being installed on the system. You'll also need to OK a request by Superuser for root before it will run on beforeupdate.bat.
curious as the previous workaround used webtop to retain root through LXterminal... with root on here, will we be able to re-apply the Webtop mod?
by the way, good work
"movesu.sh" is called but doesn't exist.

Also, I see # from adb shell command, but the phone thinks its not rooted. What up with that. If I try to install busybox it says " No root access" , rom manager the same thing...all I want to do is install a recovery so I can get off the stock rom..
Have you tried something as simple as updating su in the play store and trying? If not, try flashing an HERCIMG recovery through hboot.

Old old thread but if someone encounters this again, it is due to busybox SU not having the correct permissions and can be corrected easily.
I got the info from here: ttp://forum.nas-forum.org/index.php?page=Thread&threadID=526
Quoted from that page:
Code:
su: must be suid to work properly
I finally discovered that /bin/busybox which provides su (and in fact almost all commands) has not its set UID , i.e. the unix rights are
Code:
rwxr-xr-x instead of rwsr-xr-x
i could finally change the rights with
Code:
chmod 4755 /bin/busybox
and su works fine again

Just thought I would share since I saw this on my synology NAS and it pretty much directly applies to this issue from an age ago.
yes, you need to su in order to make it work as administrator.
