Thanks DG!
Thanks DG. I knew if I waited it would pay off.
Any plans on making an "unroot" script?
designgears said:
My most recent brick was mostly caused by having busybox installed and symlinked twice. Busybox is already included on the phone stock, oneclickroot installs and symlinks it again in the /system/xbin directory. This is messy and can cause problems. I created this script to simply use what is there, only adding what is needed for a nice neat clean setup.
What this script does:
Roots
Installs Superuser.apk
Enables Non-market apps (sideloading)
Installs su and sqlite3 binaries to /system/bin
Removes onclickroot busybox install (if it exists)

Thanks for the departing gift DG. Can we install this without any issues if we have already used the superoneclick root method?

ya, it reverts that mess it created and does a cleaner install.
(more gifts to come)
Okay currently rooted with Adeo already assuming unroot before applying this script, but as far as Adeo I understand it doesn't need to be rooted for the install but if its already there would i have any problems swapping the root method?
Edit: Oh hehe was beat to it XD
Thank you!!! sooooo much for all your work and your continuous support, looking forward to what you will tackle next.

Thanks for the reply. So no need to unroot, just apply your new script over the superoneclick?
Do you think you will go back to the atrix id it gets an unlocked bootloader?
This looks interesting: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=11871384&postcount=183
Maybe this is the key we need to unlock the bootloader!
I ran the script and it gave me an error about TIMEOUT not a known function, but it still got the job done. I used the one before the unroot was added (redownloading now).
Again, many thanks. Can't wait to see what the other "gifts" are.

Has to be the problem, I was on my laptop with XP loaded. Like I said, the script did the trick but just sqawked an error. I am on my 7 tablet now and the command works fine.

I second that. XP here and got the TIMEOUT error, but worked just fine. Double checked my system/xbin and no busybox or symlink.
just looked it up, sure enough xp doesn't support that, oh well, doesn't matter, adb will wait for the device to some online, I might just take it out.
thanks for testing that guys.
i think xp still used it, just complained about it.
Just updated, now with init.d support and a better unrooter script

It is possible that is the problem. Unless you are doing command line stuff you will be fine. It won't just brick you for no reason.
Thank you very much for your work...
Just to confirm, do I use this aRoot instead of your previous SuperOneClick?

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

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?

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?

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.

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?

First of all, Linux and OS X come with sqlite3 by default. Windows users will need to download the executable. With that said, here is how you can enable sideloading the old-fashioned way.
Code:
[[email protected] ~]$ adb shell
$ su
# busybox cp /data/data/com.android.providers.settings/databases/settings.db /data/data/com.android.providers.settings/databases/settings.db.bak
# chown system.system /data/data/com.android.providers.settings/databases/settings.db
# ls -l /data/data/com.android.providers.settings/databases/settings.db*
# busybox cp /data/data/com.android.providers.settings/databases/settings.db /sdcard
# exit
$ exit
[[email protected] ~]$ adb pull /sdcard/settings.db
sqlite3 settings.db
sqlite> SELECT * FROM secure WHERE name="install_non_market_apps";
3|install_non_market_apps|0
sqlite> UPDATE secure SET value=1 WHERE name="install_non_market_apps";
sqlite> SELECT * FROM secure WHERE name="install_non_market_apps";
3|install_non_market_apps|1
sqlite> .quit
[[email protected] ~]$ adb push settings.db /sdcard/
[[email protected] ~]$ adb shell
$ su
# busybox cp /sdcard/settings.db /data/data/com.android.providers.settings/databases/settings.db
# chown system.system /data/data/com.android.providers.settings/databases/settings.db
# ls -l /data/data/com.android.providers.settings/databases/settings.db*

Yes, it's always great to know how things work.
But it looks like SuperOneClick is not just confined to Windows.
It is compatible with:

Ubuntu Jaunty (9.04)
Ubuntu Karmic (9.10)
Ubuntu Lucid (10.04 LTS)
Ubuntu Maverick (10.10)
Debian Lenny (5.0)
Debian Squeeze (testing)
Debian Sid (unstable)
Debian Experimental
SuperOneClick uses Mono on Linux platforms, so most any of the modern ones should work. I used it on my openSUSE box and it worked just fine for allowing non-market installs.

edit: Actually it got my phone stuck in bootloader with my configuration (1.57 update and rooted). SBF flashing now..

Lose the attitude buddy.
Don't tell me to search, as I have been googling and searching this forum for over a week and found nothing but SuperOneClick which also required me to downgrade.
I probably missed it due to "Last edited by Ririal; 23rd April 2011 at 01:40 AM. Reason: Updates"
Unfortunately this is still not what I am looking for as I am on 1.57 and am still required to downgrade.
Please have some respect.
EDIT: I'ts also not in the sticky thread
EDIT #2: I just found [HOWTO] Easy Root 1.5.7 using GingerBreak which popped up on the 23rd. WOHOOO, no need to downgrade and risk Wifi issues.

It has nothing to do with respect, and I don't have an attitude. Relax, guy.
All the information is readily available, all you need to do is look for it. There's several threads on the first page of the development forum (which you found as you're posting in it) that contain the information you need. One of the threads is even clearly labeled: "[HOWTO] Easy Root 1.5.7 using GingerBreak"
So sorry, I get a little short with people who ask questions that are already answered. Don't take it personally. Here's the breakdown:
There's currently 2 methods of root, one is GladRoot, which requires you to downgrade first. The other is GingerBreak, which formats your phone data. Pick your poison.
***MOD EDIT***
THIS ROM ONLY WORKS ON 4.1.26. Please consider another ROM unless you know what you are doing.
History & IntroThe first version was done with 3 different batch files, it ended up being very hacky and even ended up bricking one phone because the cleanup script didn't properly work.
I have rebuilt it from the ground up as a shell script. The initial temp root and file push is done with a batch file, it then fires off the install script on the phone which reports back to the batch with helpful info about what it is doing and what to expect from the phone as it goes. You no longer have to accept any superuser requests either.
The new script has been used on tons of phones now, everything executed exactly as I expected it to. I really didn't want to post this until we had a stock firmware to restore to, after the first release I have been worried about you guys bricking your devices, but what the hell, here it is anyways.

Nice! First basic rom How would someone restore back to stop if you cant do a factory reset? I know on the captivate I had a nice Odin flash to do that.
Thanks
A custom ROM?
I'm going to have to buy an Atrix!
EDIT: Bought it!
EDIT2: And Adeo'd it. All UI lag is gone! This is awesome!
I am running this in my Atrix now - I believe my phone was the 4th phone to have this install perfectly on with no issues. Designgears, you are the man, once again! Thank you for this!
PM sent DG. I cheated an caught link a few minutes early and wanted say thanks! This is running great with no issues and I'm loving the reboot option...
Installed on mine, worked flawlessly. Thanks!

the factory reset is only if you brick.
There is no easy way to get back to stock, I will make a thing just like this installer to do that, actually its done, testing it

So if all else fails, the factory reset will bring it back to out of the box shape? Just concerned because Im still debating if I want to keep the phone before my 30 days is up etc. Id like to return it as stock obviously, but I also need to test out custom mods before my decision.
Thanks man.
I am curious, what changes were made for the reboot mod?
Also, thanks for the rom!

smali edits in the framework.jar, android.policy.jar and added an image and sting to framework-res.apk
I saw the no factory reset posts lol... I was just curious what can be done to return the phone back to stock once this is all done with.
Thanks.

I designed this script to handle payloads, just need to package up one with a new payload with stock files and upload it.
Installed... Removed Laggyness i was getting with blur UI.
as to refering to the blur UI....
this is my second Atrix.. had to bring my first one back because when i was on tier 3 support the other night they fried the sim card reader with an update which was killing data signal to my phone... that phone had no laggyness whats so ever at all. I got this one today out of the box was having laggyness and slow response to key presses.. this fixed that as of so far.

Nice, I will give this shot. Although I am already running DeOdexed already but I figured may be you got it running better than mine
I am also going to start editing small things like animations. No sense oh having all this power without some eye candy
Hello designgears,
Did you re-signed the apks? If so, could you share the key files you used? The reason I ask for it, it's because I am playing around with the /system/app apks and was getting errors like:
"Package com.motorola.blur.home has no signatures that match those in shared user"
Awesome job, btw!
Stupid question. How do I hook up the phone with adb enabled? When I run the bat file it says error: device offline, but in my devices I see ADB interface Mot Composite ADB interface.

Download ADB Wireless from the Market. It'll help solve that one for you.

Install the Android SDK
install the MOTO drivers it will also install the moto adb drivers with it.
Install the ADB function drivers into the SDK/tools folder
run...cd to the sdk/tools folder... run... adb devices
should show the device is up which means ADB is enabled
HTML:
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.

Do you have the su that does not require Superuser.apk installed?
Let me boot into my windows partition and I'll give it a try. Let me make sure I have the steps right:
Run beforeupdate.bat
Get OTA from system update
Run afterupdate.bat
Anything I'm missing? I'm rooted using aRoot fyi.
I think
adb.exe push movesu.sh /data/local/tmp > NUL 2>&1
is a typo and it should say backupsu

Root here is a normal root, anything you could do before you'll be able to continue doing.

This doesn't come bundled with a copy of su, it uses the one already installed in the system.
will this work on flash sbf?
