Rooting

Alright, so I've used the SuperOneClick application to root my phone, which tells me was done successfully, however, I don't seem to be able to access files in the system folder through adb.
Is there some way I can positively confirm whether my phone is or isn't actually rooted? Like I said I was using adb to push a file into the system folder, and was given a permission denied message. At this time the only thing I'm attempting to do to the phone is this:
/showthread.php?t=820749&page=3
It seems pretty basic and it's my first android phone, so I'm starting off small here..
Using the leaked 2.2 FW, other than the being rooted (attempted), the phone is stock 2.2..

Do you have the "superuser" app on your phone?

If you type:
adb shell
su (after hitting enter, you should get a popup on your phone asking for superuser permission, click allow)
If you see this:
C:\Users\*yournamehere*>adb shell
$ su
su
#
Then you have root permissions.

I have the app on my phone, but when I try this, I do not get a prompt for super user permissions, and the CL shell returns permission denied
EDIT: I was going to look at the superuser app to see what was in it to give you more info, but it the "app" that I assume is actually my computer had denied permissions. After changing it back to allow, the shell returns

[HOW TO] Remove ads using adfree android

This was created when we didn't have S-OFF yet.
If you have S-OFF or /system overlay script you won't need to go through all the steps simply download adfree android.
I know most of you will be able to do this. But I believe that it might not be as easy for the beginners. So here is a little walk through.
!NEEDs ROOT!
1. Download Adfree Android
2. Wait for it to determine local hosts then click on download and install hosts.
Now it will try to replace /system/etc/hosts but fail (it should reboot the phone but it didn't reboot mine)
4. go to adb and reboot your phone into recovery (with power on+volume down OR the command: "adb reboot recovery")
5. Open up the recovery-windows (start recovery-windows (make sure your in the right directory))
6. mount your system and sdcard you might be able to just use mount and mount everything but I've mounted them serperatly.
Here's how: "adb shell mount /system" next "adb shell mount /sdcard"
7. Now we're going to put it in the etc directory where it should be: "adb shell cp /sdcard/hosts /system/etc"
8. reboot the phone ("adb reboot")
That should remove most of the adds.
I know it's explained on a really low level of knowledge but I wanted to make it accessible for all of you.
Only the needed codes:
Code:
1. adb reboot recovery
2. start recovery-windows
3. adb shell mount /system
4. adb shell mount /sdcard
5. adb shell cp /sdcard/hosts /system/etc
6. adb reboot

has it the option to only block browser ads? when I tried it time ago it couldn't. I don't like to block the app ads

No it removes the adds everywhere. It simply blocks the links to adds. it doesn't actually remove them. they are still being called but they just don't show up.

Hi,
I have this very same problem for a long time now, with the constant reboots etc.
Followed your steps, but after the reboot, as soon as I press the button to update the hostfile, it reboots my phone
Thanks anyway...

Do you have root access?
Have you checked if the hosts file is at the root of your SD?

A good guide, if a little misplaced, but another option is the /system overlay.

Yes and yes

where is the most recent hosts file? I'm using a vibrant and it says it worked, but of course, it doesn't. And it doesn't copy the hosts file to my sdcard either ? odd

Hello ,
Finally I got Adfree working
Ok it's not perfect because app continue to reboot the phone after updating the hosts file ,
and we need to copy it manually in recovery mode but it better than nothing
Thank you very much JonasDroid for this little How to .
PS:
For me step 5

Can't get "start recovery-windows" to work. What is the "right directory"?
Things seems to have worked for me without that portion. Many thanks, I will now change my review in the market for that app from one star to three stars. If they include a note describing this problem upfront I may bump it up further.

It could simply be called start recovery (depending on where you got your rooting tools)(if you've got the from The Unlockr you'll need the -windows)
If you have S-OFF or if you use an /system overlay script these steps aren't needed. (It was created when we didn't have S-OFF for our legends yet.)

Anyone having problems with adfree scripts on Legend since Froyo update? Neve had a problem witha rooted 2.1, but have lots of problems since rooted Froyo 2.2
It seems HTC may have some service which is checking for modifications to symlinks etc.

When I run adfree in my S-off CM7, i get an java.io.EOFException.
Someone else having this?

I had some problems at first, but reinstalling adfree android from market seemed to help. No problem now with CM7 (01/03 from ali ba) and s-off.

adfree no block ads!
Hi,
i install the adfree on my legend with 2.2 with sense.
i did download the host from the app all work ok got a message say it was success install and need to restart the phone.
i did it but still get all the ad like before on all apps.
pls help!

Have you followed the steps? (explained in first post)
Note that you should have a rooted legend (if you don't know what that is then you don't have one)

[Q] Terminal Emulator....Help??? Anyone???

I have wiped and restored more times tonight than I can count....HELP!!!! I have a very lean rom. So lean it that it has no file explorer and I don't want to install gapps. All I want to do is install Titanium Backup (the .apk file is on the root of my SD card) with the terminal emulator and I'll be all set. I have had all different error messages, and I'm more confused now then when I started this adventure, 6+ hours ago. Any help would be great.

Just download a file manager, (es fileexplorer, or root explorer) and install it that way. or if you have adb and all the drivers you need for it.
Put the .apk in the tools folder in the SDK
and go to it in a command prompt and type adb install titaniumbackup.apk..
Or whatever you apk is named.
if you need help, dont quote this, just send me a pm for help =]

(Posting this again for others reference all this is pulled from my previous post which you can find in my signature - "Terminal/adb shell commands")
Adb commands are completely different than terminal commands.
First enter "su" to get substitute user (the # sign)
Then enter "mount -o remount,rw -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock4 /system" to make the root r/w
to copy files use "cp" command
to move files use "mv" command
to remove files use "rm" command
to change file/dir permissions use "chmod"
to change directories use "cd" - "cd .." will bring you back one directory - "cd //" brings you back to root
to list files in the dir use "ls"
to read/mod/combine a file use "cat"
to edit a value use "echo"
to see running processes use "top"
to kill a process use "kill -9 PID#HERE"
ex) cp /sdcard/download/myapplication.apk /data/app/myapplication.apk
If you know any linux commands then you should know your way around terminal emulator. If you want i can give you more examples just let me know. Hope this helped
To answer your question OP, just follow my example. Except in your case it'd be something like this:
Code:
su
cp /sdcard/TitaniumBackup.apk /data/app/TitaniumBackup.apk
replace "titaniumbackup.apk" with the actual file name of your apk file.

Yea they are. Besides, personally I'd do it the way you mentioned; either first using a filemanager (easiest imo) or via adb install
Only reason I replied was in case there was a specific reason he'd only want to use terminal emulator and not adb or a FileMan
Edit: Oh I see what I think you're referring to, the line:

Thank you everyone. I need to use Terminal Emulator, because I'm not allowed to install the ADB drivers on my work computer, the ROM I want to use did not have a file manager packed in it and I don't want to install gapps to download one from the market. I simply want to install Titanium, so I can add a file manager and a couple of other select apps so as not to clutter up the system. As soon as I flash back to that rom, I'll try it the above mentioned way.

Ah thats sucks bro, it come in handy now and then, Listen to this guy up here since he knows more about TE than I. Also a simple google "terminal emulator" command and it might add on to your comprehension.
And judt to get this outta of the way, in TE if you do type su <enter> you get #? if you dont #,you get acces denied; denied meaning youre not rooted. Meaning it cant find an su in the bin or xbin, rendering TE pointless. So make sure youre root

It's not an issue of compatibilty..... It's an issue of the IT people at work having our computers locked up so we can't install / uninstall anything from them. All I can do is transfer files from the pc to my sd. I don't have authorization to install the necessary drivers for my phone.

If you can transfer files from a computer to a device, then you should be able to take files from a USB drive and put them on the C drive of your computer.

To clarify.... Yes I can access my sd card from my computer. Yes I can transfer files between my sd card and my hard drive. However, when I try to install the ADB drivers to access the rom in my phone I get a little message that I'm not authorized to add / remove hardware or software from the computer....to please contact my IT administrator. Maybe it's something I'm doing wrong, maybe it's not. If I can learn to use this emulator though, it doesn't really matter. I have ADB on my computer at home if I really need it, I'm just not inclined to turn the computer at home on very often. Thanks again to everyone for the help.

Sitll no good installing ADB at work, but I did get a good ADB workout at home this weekend rooting my son's Optimus......Wholy crap!!! Revert to old software, lose the lcd display, root with rage against the cage, push recovery to the phone, revert back to current version of software, lose root, and then re-root on current software with recovery already installed, what a process that was!!!! BTW.... Terminal Emulator commands worked perfect. Mistake I was making was trying to "push" from my SD card instead of "copy".

Links to the necessary files are listed at the bottom.
Remember, I am not at fault if you brick your phone, now, proceed.
Connect your phone in charge only mode to install the LG Bootstrapper and drivers, or grab the LG Universal Drivers.
Change your USB Mode to Internet Connection
Go into Settings/Applications/Development and ensure USB Debugging is turned on
If all goes according to plan, you should see the ADB Ladybug icon in your notification bar
I updated the Rootzwiki page with the same info found below.
Busybox actually comes installed by LG on the Revo, how awesome is that??
Download the rageagainstthecage binary
Download the SU binary
Move these files to the same directory your adb.exe is in.
Code:
The > and # characters below illustrate the prompt
you should have, if you have the $ when you go into adb shell,
exit out and type 'adb usb' then go back into adb shell and
you should see the #
Open Command prompt (either use the Windows Key+R and type cmd or start/run, then type cmd)
32-bit users: >cd c:\program files\android\android-sdk\platform-tools
64-bit users: >cd c:\program files (x86)\android\android-sdk\platform-tools
Or >cd (whatever directory adb is in)
>adb devices (verifies you are connected)
>adb push rageagainstthecage-arm5.bin /data/local/temp/rage
(if the above command fails due to read-only, type 'adb usb' then 'adb root' to validate root status, then 'adb devices' again to verify connection)
>adb push su /data/local/temp/su
>adb shell chmod 777 /data/local/temp/rage
>adb shell ./data/local/temp/rage
>adb shell (If this gives you a $ prompt instead of a # prompt, type 'su', if that fails, 'exit', 'adb usb' like above.)
#mount -o remount,rw -t ext3 /dev/mmcblk0p12 /system
#busybox cp /data/local/temp/su /system/bin/su
#chmod 6755 /system/bin/su
Verify the file is in place w/correct permissions
#cd /system/bin
#ls -l *su
After the ls command you should see the following returned by the system:
-rwsr-sr-x root root 26248 2011-05-29 01:09 su
At this point, you may way to remove the files you put in /data/local/temp (optional):
#rm /data/local/temp/su
#rm /data/local/temp/rage
continue with commands
#reboot
Download and install SuperUser from the Market

Just a note for some. The rageagainstthecage bin file may be detected as a virus/trojan. It is not. You may want to disable your antivirus before downloading the .bin file.
I run avira on my desktop and it caught the file as a virus everytime I downloaded it and then deleted it. Avast on my laptop however did not.
Root is simple if you follow the instructions. You need to make sure that adb recognizes your device. Takes 5 minutes to complete, took me longer to install adb again and update it.

Hey guys, either using S1C or ADB Commands, have we found out if it's possible to unroot this as long as you Nand Backup the stock rom then unroot from there yet? Just because I got this phone as a filler/4g unl. lock and got buyback on it from best buy so I could buy a dual/quad later on when they come out .

Doing a factory reset I believe will unroot you. There is no nand back up at this time. We are waiting for a recovery mod.

Oh ya I know, I just always keep a stock one, on the Inc if you factory reset from an AOSP rom, you'd bootloop, so you had to make sure you were on a Sense 1.0 or stock rom(from my experience), so I was just making sure it was no big deal to go back.

If you have to return your device, simply remove the superuser app, after you unfreeze anything you may have frozen then factory reset. They honestly will never know it was rooted. The only way now that you can really tell is the super user app from market.

Just so everyone knows. SuperOneClick can root and unroot this phone ok.

No No, I was saying we need to praise Koush's good work so he will make one faster .
And Stetsonaw, any idea if I root through ADB, can I unroot with S1C, since it uses the same idea.
S1C for whatever reason will not run(tried three computers, a XP, Vista, and Win7 lol), it keeps freezing at the same spot, everytime.

Should be able to, since S1C does what the ADB method does... or you could just delete the 'su' file out of /system/bin and /system/xbin (if it's there) to unroot.
EDIT: I couldn't get S1C to open on my desktop, and my laptop, which would open the program, would bluescreen when i connected the phone, so i had no choice but to do it the ADB way.

Hmmm, ya now my computer for whatever reason won't open up ADB through command. This is getting irritating lol. Should be nice and simple, but it just won't go through. If I downloaded the SDK Manager like 4 months ago, it shouldn't matter, correct?

make sure you change directory to wherever your adb.exe is located... as in:
Code:
cd C:\Program Files\Android\android-sdk-windows\platform-tools

Removing System Apps

I'm rooted and am trying to mount the system to remove bloatware apps... However everytime Titanium Backup removes it and I reboot it's still there...
Anyone have any ideas?

System is protected: you can't modify it while the phone is booted. You'll have to make a zip or whatever to delete it in recovery.

You have to be kidding me...

The recovery flashed but wouldnt boot , managed to get round it when i discovered POB with his superboot Thank god for the desire C
Then i realised that i couldnt flash anything because I manged to install 6.0.2.8 as a boot img, and 6.0.3.0 as a proper recovery.
Then i didnt have any files on the device to flash boohoo so i managed to get ADB sideload working through the AIO One Toolkit... And managed to flash AHRD finally getting a working device,
As you see Im a seasoned vet at these things but the HTC One has been the first device that has stumped me....
----------------------
The apps issue is not unkwown for HTC however they havent done this for a while.... Back with the G2 they did exactly the same thing and yes ive frozen them but there should be away to remove system apps for us through root.... But i cant remember how, Throwing it into ADB Shell and requesting SU along with a Remount works fine but still would like to remove the apps.
Im also looking for someone with a locked phone... (Sim Locked) i have a theory and it worked on the Desire C Anyone wanna help?

I'm rooted and am trying to mount the system to remove bloatware apps... However everytime Titanium Backup removes it and I reboot it's still there...
Anyone have any ideas?

Delete the apps with titanium and power off the phone. Don't do a restart.

Already tried that ^_^

You need to flash a custom kernel with a modified ramdisk to disable system protection Without doing that you're like deleting an app on windows with deepfreeze on it

Is that the only solution?
There are so many bloated useless and intrusive (cr)apps on this phone it's unbelievable.

Other solution is boot in recovery and delete it there. Either thru adb while in recovery mode, flashable zip or through file manager(if you're using TWRP). Other than that nope

Hmmm I'm thinking adb through recovery here but how do I got about doing this?

the joys of a s-on devices
read up on adb commands...
or use the zip I attached and edit line 18 in this format with the apps you want to get rid of, use a file explorer to get the proper names.
make a backup first in case you mess up something
Code:
delete("/system/app/xxxxx.apk", "/system/app/xxxx.odex", "/data/app/xxxxx.apk");

The best way to remove apps in recovery is through adb:
Code:
adb shell
sysrw
rm /system/app/abc.apk

the simple way is ROM CLEANER, but isn't available yet for the One.
cheers

type the following commands.
Code:
adb shell
su
cd /system/app/
ls
rm <insert the name of the apk you want to delete here which can be found in the list shown by the ls command>

I dont have a One, and dont plan on having one (ever, thanks to this thread! I think I'll stick to Sony, they have instructions to unlocking bootloader on their official website)
BUT, if the system is locked, it should be locked trough ADB too, so I guess what I'd try is install busybox, custom recovery, go into recovery, connected it to the PC (or a mac, but since we're on no-apple forum, I'll assume PC), mounting system there and doing your thing.
You can install busybox and custom recovery right?
Edit: never mind, I should really learn to read. Sometimes I think I'm dyslexic a little, just for words, not letters.
I did not see the 'recovery' part mentioned.
Anywho, mounting system is what you forgot, so at least I said something helpful

All Wonderful Ideas folks, however i had a go at this last night, it was a fricking nightmare even mounting ADB through recovery
