Team,
This One-Click Root process will copy over the rooted-update.zip or unroot-update.zip file then reboot your phone. Follow the instructions in the CMD prompt that launches.
Credits:
LeshaK at Samdroid: for the original rooted-update.zip.
gunnarhafdal : for creating the Mac GUI for my app.
This has been tested on stock Android 2.1 Eclair only. If you rooted using another process you can use this process to unroot as long as you didnt load a rom that created links to busybox.
For the following models:
GT-I9000
Captivate SHG-I897
Vibrant SGH-959
GT-I9000M
Epic SPH-D700 (Untested but should work like other phones. Post with your results. This is harmless it will either work or it wont. It copies over 3 files to your existing build.)
Rooting adds the following to your system and unrooting removes them:
/system/xbin/busybox (version 1.17.1)
/system/xbin/su
/system/app/Superuser.apk (version 2.3.1)
and links /system/bin/su to /system/xbin/su
More will follow as they are released. PM me to add your Galaxy S Model.
Warning: I am not responsible for bricked phones, rooting can void your warranty....

the simplest root just got simpler
So is this actually faster? Or just "easier" not to mess up...
sounds like more work than just DLing, moving, and renaming with your phone... expecially for those without a comp...
anyway, this method has been added to the sticky in dev section..

I'd say its easier to not mess up. Faster for sure, if you already have the drivers installed.
This is for our newer brethren or anyone else that want a straight forward root method. And for those having trouble entering recovery from the button presses. ADB is bundled in the rar file so you don't need Android SDK.
Another thing that will help most is when I add unroot to the app which I should have completed tomorrow.
Doon2 asked for it, so here it is.
I appreciate the effort and skill...
BUT, how is this easier than downloading a file directly to your phone, renaming it and putting it at the root of your sd card and going to recovery?

Good question because that is what I do. Just an alternative method. The upcoming unroot will probably be more helpful to some.
But this method will help some for sure. It will download it to your phone for ya and put you in recovery. Well most of the other phones have it so why not ours.
Someone made the request and here it is. I will also be adding other tweaks to the app over time and useful info after rooting to this thread.

I know what you mean. I'm still used to holding down the buttons until the recovery screen pops up like on my G1. On the Vibrant, I have to remind myself to let go of the buttons as soon as the "Vibrant" screen comes up.
Yes, the overall process involved to use this program is longer, involves more steps, and, therefore, easier to screw up. Also, the fact that you have to download more than one file increases the chances of messing something up because of the possibility of corrupted files. Also, the "flash in recovery" method is OS agnostic, and technically doesn't even require a computer since you can download and rename the zip file right on your phone if you want to. Still, it's very easy to follow and would appeal to those who are new to rooting and don't feel comfortable with booting into recovery mode.
Updated the app to include unroot. Created a new update.zip file that will remove root. Also fixed the CMD shell launching minimized.
Lets see the java port. or even an APK to do so

Why fuss with button pushes, just enable debugging, plug in your phone, open a command prompt and type the following
Code:
adb reboot recovery
It's easier than messing with those buttons I assure you.

[GUIDE] One Click How to Root the Wildfire with Unrevoked 3.21
Hi all,
As posted the other day, I have managed to get a temporary software-only root solution that will allow you to run some applications that require su. I am currently in discussion with some of the unrEVOked team to take this a step further and get the NAND protection defeated, clockworkmod etc. For now, though, I present an extremely simple, low risk, software root. Yes, it's not quite 1-click (it's 1-click once you've done the initial steps), but it's pretty easy.
Prerequisites:
You must have adb working.
Root instructions:
Step 1: Download and install Superuser.apk from the Market. ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=682828 )
Step 2: Download my SoftRoot package ( http://www.martineve.com/wildfiresoftrootoneclick/SoftRoot.apk )
Step 3: Execute from a command prompt in the directory where you downloaded SoftRoot.apk:
Windows:
adb install SoftRoot.apk
Linux:
adb install ./SoftRoot.apk
Step 4: Run the SoftRoot application that is now installed.
The application will now crash. Wait 2 seconds, close it and you are rooted.
You will need to re-perform stage 4, only, each time you reboot.
Source code (all GPL):
http://www.martineve.com/wildfiresoftrootoneclick/DoRoot.java
http://www.martineve.com/wildfiresoftrootoneclick/R.java
http://www.martineve.com/wildfiresoftrootoneclick/rootshell
http://www.martineve.com/wildfiresoftrootoneclick/exploid.c
To compile Java app, you will need to create a project that has su, rootshell and compiled exploid inside the resources/raw folder.
Works great. Thank you.
Now I have access to paid apps easily via Market Enabler (v3.0.8). I've missed them.
Now I just hope Spotify will fix their playback issues og Wildfire (and Hero). THEN life will be good again.

Hey Martin Awesome dude .. also where did u find contact info of unrevoked team.. I think Koush is here on xda.. it would be really nice if you can PM me ..
Thanks
Hi, Martin awesome work.. its working superb on my
0.802, 1.14.405.2, VodafoneCZ
thx man!
Excellent work, thanks Martin! So this means I don't have to follow anything in your other thread, I can just use this? Found it difficult to understand all that stuff!
Also, when downloading the Android SDK, as I'm about to, do I need to get the 2.1 component package as well, being as the Wildfire comes with 2.1 on it? Very new to the world of Android, so your help would be much appreciated!
normally you just need the adb not the whole SDK.
Simple to use :
download SDK :http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html
extract the zip(or tgz if Linux) where you want
go to tools
copy the SoftRoot.apk in this dir
open a cmd prompt
type adb install ./SoftRoot.apk
Install the SuperUser.apk (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=682828) or QR code :

all the best my friend, YOU ARE THE MAN
what's the method you are going to try to bypass the protection >> I'm interested in knowing the mechanism of the NAND protection, how it's work
Well, from the fact I was told to make a clockworkmod recovery image, it seems that the route is going to be to get a custom recovery image booting which will allow full access to the system and then flash from that.
TBH, this is where it starts to get risky ;/ If people wanted to start pooling together a disaster fund should the Bricking Gods not smile favourably on me, I'd be a lot happier! Haha!

I'm afraid I don't know about the Legend, but I see no reason why it should not provided that:
/system is mounted from /dev/block/mtdblock3
You are running 2.1 or 2.2
If you get an adb shell up an paste me the output of the mount command, I'll be able to tell you more clearly.
MartinEve, I just copied the two .apk to my phone
1.Install with some explorer

When you say "the system aborts", I think you are referring to the fact the application crashes.
Which was in my original post.
It should still be rooted, despite the crash.

Custom recovery been out for this thing a whole half hour and no replies?? How is this thread not exploding! =P
Thanks guys for all your hard work.
Yessss!!!
It has finally happened! Now all we need are ROMs. I understand we may not have kernel support *YET* but a stock 2.1 rooted ROM still makes me happier than nonblur motoblur Droid X UI. Blah.
So once the OTA for 2.2 comes out and we have the new kernel do we think that the custom recovery will be able to work the same way? Then we can have stock froyo yes?

bignadad said:
http://www.koushikdutta.com/2010/08/...-recovery.html
Well, this was a *****.
Caveats:
This is not a *real* recovery. The way this recovery works is by hijacking portions of your boot process during system initialization and starting into recovery instead. So, if you hose your system *COMPLETELY* you will need to SBF. Specifically, if your logwrapper, logwrapper.bin, or hijack binary are missing from /system/bin, you will be screwed.
Do I have to be rooted to run this?
Yes.
So can we now install custom ROMs?
Yes, but you can't replace the kernel or boot image. But really, once you have access to /system, anything is possible. It will just take a little hackery.
How does this work?
When your device boots up, there is a init.rc script in your boot image that runs various components found in /system. The Droid X recovery bootstrap mimics the "logwrapper" binary. The hijacker then looks for "/data/.recovery_mode", and if it finds it, it unmounts /system to prevent android from starting. It then starts up recovery instead.
How do I boot into recovery?
You can manually create the /data/.recovery_mode via a terminal file and simply reboot, and you will be in recovery. Or you can use the handy Droid X Recovery Bootstrap application to reboot into recovery.
What if my phone won't boot? How do I get into recovery without the app?
When the hijacker runs, it will automatically create the "/data/.recovery_mode" file after it finishes. This tells the system that the next time it boots, it should boot into recovery. But, when the system starts, the Droid X Recovery Bootstrap will then delete that file when Android is fully started, to prevent you from booting into recovery. So what does this mean? If you fail to boot, simply pull your battery, and your next boot will be into recovery (unless your /system is *really* hosed, in which case you need to SBF).
How do I fix my phone if I really mess it up?
Use an SBF. Google it. http://twitter.com/b16a2smith/status/21544626803
Why does the Droid X Recovery Bootstrap start on boot?
As mentioned above, it needs to log that your phone booted successfully and recovery mode is not necessary. It also replaces your "adb daemon" with one that has root permissions, allowing for easier usage of the adb command.
Will this work with ROM Manager?
Yes, but not yet. I need to make some minor updates to ROM Manager first to support this recovery. Future recovery updates will come through ROM Manager.
Is this open source?
Yep.

I've been wondering, since you can't use roms with different kernels. Would it be possible to find a Rom, lets say a 2.1 SENSE UI Rom for a Hero or something with the same kernal. Does that mean that you could flash your rom to that or is the kernal on the droid x different than a kernal of the same number and such on a different device?
This is awesome, looking forward for some roms

oXeNo - While I would love to see the same thing, unfortunately that won't work. The kernel is what talks to the hardware and the hardware, as you know, is very different on the X from HTC devices (especially the fact that the processor has a separate GPU). So, this would require a port of the software and I've come to learn that sense is so deeply in bed with each specific setup that a port would be a huge task.

Has anyone tried to remove this yet by using the SBF or some other method? Before I put this on here, I wan to make sure I can get rid of it too.
Edited 12/30/11:
Thanks to everyone that helped put this together, and I'm glad people found it useful! However, this guide is now obsolete. I put it together before we could unlock the bootloader and get a permanent root. However, we now have a bootloader unlock, so there's a better way to get root. Please see this thread: http:// http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1416836. I'll leave this guide here in case somebody has such an occasion to need only a temp root.

Ok, so I think we've gotten this process streamlined enough to make it easy, so I wanted to put together a step-by-step easy temproot for people who are confused. It will run zergRush to root your phone, then install busybox and the superuser app & binaries.
I've tested this on AT&T's Vivid, and it seems to work on the Canadian variant. Also, supposedly, if you're bootloader's unlocked, this should give you permroot.
I take no credit for actually developing most of this, I just packaged it up all nice and neat in an easy to run batch file. Both Windows & Linux/Mac versions are attached.
Thanks to:
Revolutianry for zergRush, ChainsDD/androidsu.com for SuperUser, stericson for busybox
arunp44, Jimmy273, DooMLoRD, and cyber_pete for some of the right commands
rpendrick for the Linux/Mac version
STEPS TO ROOT:
0. Install HTC Sync on your computer so that you'll have the proper drives
1. Download Vivid-Root.zip: Windows | Linux/Mac
2. Unzip somewhere on your computer
3. On your phone , enable USB Debugging (Settings > Applications > Development, check USB Debugging) & Unknown Sources (Settings > Applications, check Unkown Sources)
4. Connect your phone to the computer, make sure it's in Charge Only mode
5. Open the unzipped folder, double click RUNME.bat & Follow the prompts
6. Enjoy your root!
If you reboot your phone, just repeat steps 4-6.
Please let me know if you have any problems, questions, or concerns!
DISCLAIMER: I've tested this on my device and it works. However, i provide no guarantees or claim no responsibility for problems it may cause (however unlikely that may be). You know, the usual "please don't blame me for bricks...".
KNOWN ISSUES:
-Occasionally Superuser app won't recognize su binary even though phone has root access
-su binary disappears after a while (V3 attempts to fix this)
-zergRush method unmounts internal phone storage (/sdcard folder). Seems its still accessible from adb shell, and nothing seems wrong, but phone can no longer access it properly
Looks promising. Any possibility to repackage for linux and or Mac?

Absolutely! It'll just take me a little longer, as I only have access to windows machines at the moment. Perhaps later this afternoon I'll have the chance to port it to linux/mac.
Nice work, I just posted the manual version of this on the other temp root forum. Was going to start to automate but you beat me to it. I love it when there are several people all working towards a solution.

Team work, that's how we are going to get to perm root.
EDIT:
Just used your script, worked perfect. One suggestion. What do you think about adding a check for the SuperUser.apk and if it is already there, skip the install? I already have it installed and got the Failed message, might scare a few people. Anyway just a suggestion, great work.
Nice job man. This will def help out people new to the rooting world.
Question... If I use supercharger v6 to emprove my ram after I reboot will it still. E in effect?

Having never used the app, I couldn't tell you. But typically on reboot, you lose everything root-related, so my guess would be no.
In-app root
Is anyone working on an in-app temp root app (z4root anyone?)
If I change LCD density while temp rooted, will it survive reboot?
I really am considering this temp root cause I find bloatware annoying.... But if I can switch lcd density while im at it, that will make three decision much easier

After running this I tried opening Titanium Backup and it said no root. I did try earlier old temp root method without success, could that be the reason?

Well it is a good sign that we have temp-root so quick now HTC just needs to stop dragging their feet a bit and get this bootloader unlocked.
My device driver "did not install properly", maybe that's what's causing the *daemon started successfully* Ronj is having
I am hoping installing HTC Sync will fix hat little issue.
It is. I installed HTC Sync, and the problem went away

For those of you that have temp root working, are you losing root after a short amount of time? I keep losing the SU binary, root is still there but I have to repush SU. Really strange. Does anyone know if this is just the nature of temp root or is there something I can do to fix that?
Hey all! This is the new home of the Droid 4 Utility (NOW WITH SAFESTRAP THANKS TO HASHCODE) for Windows/Mac/Linux!
There are (still) no fastboot files as of writing this (2/28/2012) so use Safestrap at your own risk
Once they come out I will be making a full version that includes fastboot restore. For now, the utility is only a few MB compared to a GB+.
From this point forward I will be taking charge of updating the Droid 4 Utility for Windows/Mac/Linux
This way mattlgroff has a little less work on his hands and can focus more on IMPORTANT things like bootloaders, ICS, etc...
MAC/LINUX: Be sure to read the instructions below (or README file) if you are not familiar with using terminal as root or executing bash scripts!
-Changes
~~as of 2/18/ 11:30PM PST
Fixed bug where Superuser.apk was pushed to /data instead of /system/app/
Fixed unroot script to properly remove Superuser.apk
~~as of 2/19 4:30 PM PST
Fixed chmod in root method from 4775 to 6775
~~as of 2/28 6:15PM PST
Added Safestrap recovery!!
~~as of 3/2
fixed script to chmod +x ./files -R so that you can actually run the files on mac and linux (that would be important huh?)

Then enter the root password NOTE: This is not YOUR password, this is the ROOT password. If you dont know it, you can always use
Code:
sudo passwd
to reset the root password
Next run:
Code:
cd /the path to where you extracted the files/
for example, heres what I have to type:
Code:
cd /home/skylar/Desktop/Droid4UtilityLinux/
next run the appropriate bash script:
Code:
bash Droid4linux
OR
Code:
bash Droid4mac
I'm sorry to say I don't actually own a Droid 4, so I'm doing this blind. Please report any problems or bugs you have.
Have fun and I hope you enjoy! [/SIZE]

Sounds like you aren't running this inside the folder that also contains the /files/ folder. If you have it by itself of course the path's won't find it...because you moved it or you aren't "cd" into the directory of the utility.
appears after a phone/computer reboot and canceling the ADB process in my tasks it now is rebooting the phone and working. Thanks!

While your phone is plugged in, see what drivers are in device manager and remove them. Then restart your phone while its still connected through USB. See if that reinstalls all the necessary drivers and try again.

This is Linux, so no device manager. I think I needed to add the Motorola vendorID to my udev rules first, I got it working eventually. Rooted, great. Now to go and fix the character maps so I can fully use Connectbot.

Hm, haven't done anything with theming tweaks. Dunno, sorry.
You need adb to be enabled at boot time, so you can adb logcat during the startup and see what failed.
By the way, the Linux archive is not immediately usable, you need to chmod +x everything under the files/ subdirectory to make them executable first.

Make sure you have done all of the steps below
Prework
1. Plug in phone to computer.
2. Turn on USB Debugging. Menu -> Settings -> Application -> Development -> USB Debugging
3. Confirm latest Moto driver is installed. Go to Device Manager on Windows while the D4 is plugged into it and confirm you see ADB Interface listed with Mot Composite ADB Interface listed in the group. If you see that, skip #4 & #5. There are other ways to go about this, but this is the simplest and surefire way to confirm the driver is there and compatible.
4. Go get Moto driver and install it: USB and PC Charging Drivers - Motorola Mobility, Inc. USA It is an exe file that must be run and your computer has to restart when completed.
5. Go back into your Device Manager after reboot with the phone plugged in and confirm ADB Interface is there and no error exists.
Done.
I can't get this to root, it appeared to have rooted once since Superuser was installed but TBU said not root access. Now I get message " error more than one device and emulator" when I try to root again or unroot. any idea?
contemplating getting this through a client, any word on fastboot and unlocked updates?
or is the droid 4 destined to be like all other moto phones and lack a soul...
I really wanted the Photon, but dev on it was strangled to death!

The phone itself is great. Good build quality, fantastic keyboard, fast, etc. I have not heard any news on fastboot files yet. I assume it's just a matter of time but who really knows for sure. Unlock updates? As in unlock the bootloader? I don't ever expect to see that happen, personally.
Despite that, development seems to be coming along nicely with very usable AOSP CM9, AOKP, and Gummy ROMs. The relative ease with which Razr ROMs can be ported to the D4 (due to almost identical internal components) should help on that front as well as Razr development is seems very strong.
Does this Utility still work after the latest update?
I had previously rooted via this utility and had frozen a bit of bloatware w/ TB. I have since unfrozen the bloatware and unrooted. As soon as the install message pops up again I plan to run the update, but was wondering if I will be able to re-root the same way once I do that.

I've heard people having mixed results trying to re-root using the utility. Some seem to have no problem but others said they had to run the exploit directly. Not sure why.
I just used the Voodoo OTA Root Keeper app to hide root while the update was being applied and then restored root.

I installed the upgrade with no issues. I was able to re-root without complication as well. The only message I received was that the Superuser.apk installation "failed" because it was already there. Others have noted that unrooting doesn't delete the file. But, its presence did not stop my upgrade.
This time I installed Voodoo and will go that route for the next OTA.
Is there a mirror link for the Windows Utility? The download keeps timing out on me.

But, if I make mistake(s) while modify system apks, is there a solution to go back to original? I have to modify framework and a lot of system apks, it will not easy to do that only with root explorer...

We can't flash zips just yet, need a custom recovery. These are not flashable, but contain fastbootable files for the firmware's system and boot images. The systems are not signed so it won't work on locked device.

Well if your framework-res.apk is broken the phone tends to not boot normally. If you did have working adb you would need to mount the system as re-writable. Whether this is with the root exploit and stopping the batch at the "adb remount" command or flashing the razr_i_boot_insecured.img to allow you to run "adb remount" doesn't make a difference.
Fastboot flashing system works even if adb doesn't (assuming you have good enough battery power or a factory-style adapter from Team Black Hat).

3-is-it safe? if I do mistakes, pushing the original apks could solve the problems?
4-what is chmod number for those apks?

You can find modified source here:
http://pastebin.com/gnNfBU1H
Just edit the batch in notepad and paste that in. Have framework-res.apk in the same folder. The best idea is to just always have the insecured boot.img on your phone, so you only have to type "adb remount"
Hey Mattlgroff,
after the SS3 Hype is over here, i finally got time to get new stuff into our RazR i Forum. First thing i saw was the new Root Method. I'm right, this can be done with an complete locked Bootloader? Sounds great for many users i guess.

All up, you Guys rock the i :good:
Ok , i like to think that i'm not stupid with these kind of things...
But i can't get the vol up + power thing right.
here's what i do.
- Factory reset (from phone menu...how do we enter recovery ??)
- skip account setup
- enable usb debugging and unknown sources
- start motofail2go
- it copies the files correct to my phone..adb is working.
Then i can't get the phone to vibrate with pressing vol up + power at the same time...
Should it be a short press , long press .. tried it all with 3 different persons..
When i give up and continue without the phone vibrating , it states exploid succes , but no sign of root.. (no superuser app , no su in system/bin , no su with su checker)
HELP.....

Its a lot if trial and error. I tried about 10 different ways and finally got it. The best way to root is to unlock the boot loader and use my tool. No timing problems
