I've followed the instructions to a T on the wiki but I'm having a few problems. I had to downgrade to RC29 and then put "recovery.img" and the HardSPL "update.zip" on the root of the memory card. I even finished with the telnet commands (which didn't seem to do anything) and flashed JesusFreke's 1.5 crb43. Now when I try to use the Terminal Emulator for abd commands I get a permissions error. In addition, nothing shows up in my Superuser Permission application leading me to believe that I may not have rooted properly.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
I forgot to mention that I cheated and I don't know if that was a problem. I started with crb43 and used the old exploit to downgrade to rc29 (format sd card, copy rc29 update.zip to root of card, enter bootloader mode and flash).

You should be using adb for terminal commands. If you type 'adb' in the terminal you will get nothing.
Go to terminal emulator and type 'su'
if it brings up the permission screen press 'allow'
if your command line changed from '$' to '#' then you have successfully rooted.
There shouldn't be anything in superuser permissions if you haven't given any apps permissions (every app is considered a different user)
Hope this helps, but this seems like a thread that would be better suited to the Q&A or Dream topics since this is the Development section not general questions...just thought I'd mention it.

I can't use AIM at work. I am better reached at [email protected]
I think that worked. su brought up permissions window and when I select allow I now have root. Brilliant. Thanks very much for the assistance.
EDIT:
Oops
Then what am I missing about this? I'm attempting to replace these files to increase my maximum volume and I'm unable to use any of the adb commands, even with root.
adb remount
- wait for the 'remount succeeded' message
adb push Desktop/AudioFilter.csv system/etc
adb push Desktop/AudioPara4.csv system/etc
adb push Desktop/AudioPara4_TMUS.csv system/etc - Optional

adb is the Android Device Bridge that allows you to interface your G1/Magic with an x86 Windows system. It is included in the Android Developer Toolkit.
You need windows and to have your G1 connected to your computer. There are a few really good threads giving step by step walkthroughs on setting it up correctly, just use the search.
ADB for Dummies
ADB for Dummies
ADB can't be used from terminal emulator on the phone...you have to use it from your windows command prompt...read up on ADB first.
I have been trying for some time now,pushing files via adb commands onto nexus one but keep getting cannot copy file read only file error.I am fully rooted and unlocked.I have also reinstalled the android sdk but always get the same error when I push the image file.has anyone experienced this with their phone. I have a feeling its something to do with the SD card but can't be sure.any help would be appreciated. Thanks.
I know you must be thinking "Jedi"how can he can he call himself an androidjedi when he can't sort this simple problem (to some of you),but I must say even a Jedi needs to learn!
try adb remount before your command
Dunno if this will help but have tried changing the system to rw then try to push
Tried that no cigar
are you trying to push it into your sdcard or the phone system??
and remember the whole folder name has to be in the push so it woul have to look like
C:\Users\Android>ad push "C:\Users\Android\Downloads\Android\Nexus 1\Phone.apk" /sdcard/files
has to have full path of where you are pushing it from/too.. i have mine sdk setup to use adb in any directory as well why you dont see it in the sdk directory
@ilostchild
Thanks i will try that later today and let you know
As for pushing the file - i am trying to push it to the sd card - but i am not really sure as i am following instructions in the [HOW-TO] Revert HBOOT 0.35.0017 to 0.33.0012 thread in the forum
as i need to downgrade my Hboot from #17 to 12
are the commands different for pushing a file to the phone?
the more i think about i think i need to flash the file to the phone - but i will try your adb command format of specifying the location of the file in the comp

Ooo you want to push to sdcard.. ok then yea, you would type it like this
C:\android-sdk-windows\tools> adb push C:\Users\Android\Downloads\Android\signed-passion-FRF50-from-
ERE27.1e519a24.zip /sdcard*
if you dont have the option to use adb in any directory, then you have to be in the android sdk directory and in tools
cd android-sd-windows
cd tools
adb push(drag the file you want to push in the command prompt window) /sdcard*
sorry i know its detailed and im sure you know all these things.. but it kinda gets the questions out of the way for future problems to come

ok... i am a little confused to what "adb" is and how to get "su" (superuser) via a Terminal app that i downloaded for my phone.
I type "su" and and I get "su: not found" same with "adb"
what am i not understanding?
trying to follow http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=797397 but the commands are not working..
i am a little new to my captivate here, so help me out. I install 2.2 and i would like to root it..
thanks in advance, and forgive my ignorance.
ADB is the Android Debug Bridge. You can read what it is here Android Debug Bridge
To use this you must first install the Android Software Development Kit found here Download the Android SDK
Read up a bit on those and search the forums to find more help. Good luck.
I was / am in the same boat.
I spent 4 hours last night getting it figured out, I sure wish I could find an Android for dummies book.
Anyway, here is what cha do....
once you dowload the adb package unzip it to the root of your c drive, you may want to rename it to some thing shorter, I just called it android.
next download the root package from the root thread here and unzip the files and copy or cut them into the tools folder of the ADB folder you placed on the root of C:
navigate to the tools folder and copy adb.exe and adbwinapi.dll to the system32 directory in windows, you will need to reboot. This will allow you to use the windows cmd line.
now I am on window 7 64 so I ran the commond line as administrator to be safe. to do this click start all prograns accessorires right click cmd and select run as admin.
change directory to the tools folder, for me "cd c:\android\tools"
Connect phone be sure usb debugging is on in the phone, (settings, application, development. it will install drivers. (I manually installed the samsung 64 bit drivers I had downloaded from samsung)
from the command promt type adb devices and hope fully it will see your phone and return with the serial number and them you are good to go with following the instructions to root from there.
I hope this helps...
Cappy
the information on how to use this is really not in one place, I spent 4 hours last night searching all over to figure it out, just so I would not ask and be belittled because there is NOT good information.
I have even been searching for any books I can find on Android so I can understand how this system works, but have found no good ones yet.
I need a nice Android for dummies type thing.
I spent an hour just to figure out it still won't run right unless you change directory to the tools folder where everything is at. ( it's been like 15 years since I messed with dos).
Some where in the wiki or bibles or all the other how toos being posted we really need better information on how to use the tools and what they are.
Cheers
Jeff

WOOT looks like they have one now...
Quick Tip: Once you get the Android SDK installed, you can add the location of the Tools directory to the Windows path variable and be able to call the programs from anywhere on your computer.

OK. took me a little while to figure this out, too. Not sure of your level of knowledge of the terminal. If I over-simplified please forgive me.
"Extract RootPack zip file" Did you do this? I think you did from you post. Make sure you've copied the files to your "tools" subfolder in the android sdk folder.
Click the start button, click run, type "cmd", press enter.
When that window opens type "cd.." and press Enter. Keep typing "cd.." and pressing Enter until the only thing you see at the prompt is "c:\"
Now navigate to the Tools folder where ever it is you put the android sdk.
I put mine at "c:\android_sdk" so I would type "cd c:\android_sdk\tools"
Plug your phone into your computer.
Go to home screen>menu>settings>applications>development and select "USB debugging".
At the command prompt type "adb devices" and your phone should return a value (the serial number).
If that works you should be able to follow the directions below.
It's been mention that you should be able to copy the commands from the web page and right click the terminal window and select "Paste". Makes everything faster, easier and more accurate. One other thing to mention: after you perform these steps and you want to do something else through adb where you're instructed to type "su" you'll need to open the SuperUser application on your phone and press "approve" after typing "su".
adb push rageagainstthecage-arm5.bin /data/local/tmp/rageagainstthecage-arm5.bin
adb shell
cd /data/local/tmp
chmod 0755 rageagainstthecage-arm5.bin
./rageagainstthecage-arm5.bin
(wait for you to get kicked from adb)
adb shell
mount -o rw,remount /dev/block/stl9 /system
exit
adb push su /system/bin/su
adb push busybox /system/bin/busybox
adb push sqlite3 /system/bin/sqlite3
adb push superuser.apk /system/app/superuser.apk
adb shell
cd /system/bin
chmod 4755 su
chmod 4755 busybox
chmod 4755 sqlite3

those arent even commands. just random words you put into the terminal....
follow the instructions exactly like PersonOfKnownOrigin has posted. it works
I too was having trouble, turns out the files were extracted and were in a sub folder in the Tools folder so I copied and pasted them directly into the tools folder one by one, that worked great for me. Also, I find it easier to open command shell and use the Android Tools by holding the shift key and right clicking on the Tools folder and choose open command window here. I hope this helps.
I have a stupid path becaue my laptop messed up when I first got it and I haven't been able to fix it because DOS is difficult to me. It works fine but I am too lazy to type such a long path and if you are off at all it dosen't work.
just copy and paste the commands so you don't get them wrong, worked for me. The command is su then hit enter then enter the next command line and hit enter, works like a charm.
ok, I got it.. I misinturpted that the first line (the 3 commands in one line) was a command that I was supposed to run..
it was not..
dohh.. thanks guys for all the help... i felt kinda dumb, but now I think I am kinda smrt. I mean Smart!! (Simpsons Humor)
thanks again for the paitence.

Really didn't want to start a new topic, but couldn't find an answer anywhere. I'm trying to flash dg's recovery with adb. When ever I try to push the file I get permission denied. I have su working with adb, and adb is working correctly. What am I doing wrong? Thanks to any one that can help.

I am having the same exact problem you are. I am running windows 7 and even tried cmd and run as admin but that didn't work either. Anyway yea any help would be appreciated. Also yes my phone is rooted and in Debug Mode when trying to push recovery.img.
Hmm, sorry I don't know. Fix permissions maybe, if you can? Stupid little things like making sure usb debugging is on?
Just a heads up, questions belong in a different section ("Q&A for Thrill" if it exists, or general I think), they take that stuff pretty seriously around here, and if you end up reading and learning here for a while, you'll understand why!
switch to your ADB directory (or at a command line if you already set your environment variables) and type adb root then try again. It might work

adb root didn't work. Said adbd cannot run as root in production builds. Also I do have USB Debugging enabled as well as Rooted the device. As for fixing permissions I would need CWM First to be able to get to that option

Do this:
open command prompt and type:
adb shell
su (click allow on phone if prompted)
chmod 777 /data
ls -l (then look at the data directory and it's permissions should now be drwxrwxrwx)
Try it again after that. It's because the /data directory is not set to R/W by default.

I'm pretty new to this, but seems to me you are trying to open the adb that psouza includes with his tools. (If not, then just ignore me)
that's not gonna work for what you are trying to do. i think you need to download the android sdk to get adb working.

Are you clicking it like an icon or running it from a DOS prompt? It is to be run from the command line as it is a dos/command line program..
Ie.. at the c:\android-sdk-x86\platform_tools\ prompt you type adb and what you want to do.
Adb push or adb pull or adb shell, etc. Just adb will give some command options

First you have to open an elevated command prompt. Do this by clicking the start icon, then typing in "cmd" (without the quotes of course) and then right clicking the only thing that pops up and choosing Run As Administrator. After doing this, you need to know where you folder that contains ADB is at. To find this easily, click Start and then click Computer and in the explorer window that just popped up, type in "adb.exe". That will show you where your adb files are at.
Continuing on, for an example, my adb stuff is in C:\root stuffz. So in the command prompt I would type in "cd c:\root stuffz" and then hit enter. After that, I can then do my adb commands, such as "adb shell", "adb push", "adb pull", etc...
Edit: Make sure you have your drivers installed for the phone. Also, make sure the phone is in debug mode and charge only. This should just about cover most of the absolute basics of getting your phone recognized by adb. I'm not too sure if I missed anything, and one of the other more experienced peeps on here can prob give you more detailed information lol.
