Hi!
Well, I just downloaded the newest version of Wifi Tether for Root users on my ADP1 running HTC's Official 1.5 Firmware. I am pretty sure I would have root but upon launching Wifi Tether it reports that I dont have root access. How is this possible? Is the problem on my end or with the app itself?
Kind Regards!
EDIT: Oh, and I have installed the modified kernel image they posted too.. Still no luck :/
"su"-binary was removed on 1.5-update (official ADP-firmware) ...
You could do the following via adb:
adb remount
adb shell
cd /system/bin
cat sh > su
chmod 4755 su
This way you will get a proper root-environment BUT netfilter-support (kernel-option) is still missing (and this is required for tethering).
You need a new kernel - info is here
!!! ATTENTION - THIS IS ONLY FOR ORIGINAL ADP-FIRMWARES PUBLISHED BY HTC!!!
http://code.google.com/p/android-wifi-tether/wiki/ADP15KernelUpdate
(This will install the su-binary as well.)
Good luck.
Thanks for the reply, however adb remount gave me:
remount failed: Operation Not Permitted :/
Got it working using
Code:
mount -o rw,remount -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system
Tethering works perfectly again! Thanks!
Hi.
I've tried many times to root my LG2X with Z4root, UniversalAndRoot, Visionary and SuperOneClick since I've bought it but it failed each time.
I've seen the [Root] topic in the developpement thread but I can't post there (less than 10 posts...) but I want to help someone to root his/her mobile.
I've searched a long time a good way to do so without SuperOneClick (which doesn't respond with Windows Seven or Ubuntu 11.04) but there is none.
There we go...
Disclaimer : I can't be responsible if you break your phone, cancel your warranty or launch your LG2X on the wall in rage.
If you want, there is already SuperOneClick which run smoothly for many geeks : LG2X SuperOneClick Forum and SuperOneClick Forum
My HTC Magic had been rooted with the command line and I've tried myself to do so with every bit of informations and tips I could find on Internet.
I recommand to test the SuperOneClick method and if it fails, come test this with a Linux terminal (psneuter, su-v2, busybox and the SuperUser.apk can be found in the SuperOneClick archive) :
Code:
adb push psneuter /data/local/tmp
adb push su-v2 /data/local/tmp
adb push busybox /data/local/tmp
adb shell
$ busybox chmod +x /data/local/tmp/psneuter
$ /data/local/tmp/psneuter
adb remount
adb shell
# busybox mv /data/local/tmp/su-v2 /system/xbin/su
# busybox chmod 6755 /system/xbin/su
# busybox chown 0.0 /system/xbin/su
# busybox cp /system/xbin/su /system/bin/su
# busybox chown 0.2000 /system/bin/su
# busybox cp /data/local/tmp/busybox /system/xbin
# busybox chmod 0755 /system/xbin/busybox
# busybox chown 0.2000 /system/xbin/busybox
# exit
adb install Superuser.apk
adb reboot
And... Normally you have permanent root on your LG2X.
You can check the files permissions with
Code:
ls -l /system/xbin/su /system/bin/su
-rwsr-sr-x root root 26264 2011-04-23 20:07 su
-rwsr-sr-x root shell 26264 2011-04-23 23:20 su
It seems that /system/xbin/su isn't necessary at all. The su command which gave you the root is the one in /system/bin/. And I had some problems with /system/xbin, I've deleted the folder (with rm /system/xbin or mv /system/xbin /dev/null, I can't recall) and applied mkdir on it again.
If this can be of help, I'll update this later.
thanks for the detailed instructions, but super one click definitely works with win7 (64bit too) as long as you have the right drivers installed
Thanks but with Windows Seven 64 bits, Linux ou Windows Seven 32 bits with Virtualbox I end up with "SuperOneClick doesn't respond" or stuck on with "chmod psneuter" (with the drivers properly installed).
It's only an alternative solution if SuperOneClick doesn't run properly for another guy.
Thanks a lot for that tips.
The problem I have now is that su isn't persistant.
When I use
$ su
It hangs up few seconds... and says "Permission denied"
I've used su-v2
Here are the su permission :
-rwsr-sr-x root shell 26324 2011-02-13 14:43 su
Is there a more up-to-date su, that will maybe fix the problem ?
Thanks.
EDIT :
Ok.
The wait time seems to come from SuperUser, I've removed it.
Now I have directly the "permission denied", and "stat failed with 2: No such file or directory" in the logcat.
Maybe that can help.

It didn't for me (after installing nightly 51)
With the step-by-step instructions I get "Failed to set prot mask (inappropriate ioctl for device)" when trying to execute psneuter.
Hi.
Sorry for the wait.
Have you resolved your problem with your rooting?
Hi there!
I hope, this is the correct subforum......
Have anyone installed OpenVPN on the Galaxy S Plus I9001 any have a
good discription for me to do this?
Hope, you can help me!
Thanks for this, maze-m
Q&A section is here, please don't post questions here in development section or they will either not be answered or deleted...
Here's how I did it:
1. Root your phone using KeksFlip's excellent supereasy guide
2. Install Busybox. I used BusyBox Installer by JRummy16 from the Market and installed the latest version in /system/xbin.
3. Install OpenVPN Installer and and OpenVPN Settings from the Market.
4. Run OpenVPN Installer and install into /system/xbin. When it asks you for the location of BusyBox, say /system/xbin/bb
5. Create symlinks of ipconfig and route inside /system/xbin/bb:
a) Enable USB debugging mode (Settings -> Applications -> Development) and connect your phone to your PC via USB. You will need the adb.exe commandline tool form KeksFlip's rooting guide.
b)
Code:
adb remount
adb shell
$ su
# mkdir /system/xbin/bb
# ln -s /system/xbin/ipconfig /system/xbin/bb/ipconfig
# ln -s /system/xbin/route /system/xbin/bb/route
6. Upload your OpenVPN configuration files and keys to your phone and put them in /sdcard/openvpn
7. You will need a TUN kernel driver module. I have attached the one I made for my kernel to this post. If your kernel version is 2.6.35.7-perf, you can use it otherwise you will need a different one. Put the tun.ko file in /sdcard/openvpn.
8. Run OpenVPN Settings and under Menu -> Advanced configure the following:
Code:
- Load tun kernel module ✓
- TUN module settings
- Load module using: insmod
- Path to tun module: /sdcard/openvpn/tun.ko
9. Start your VPN connection
Good luck!

I have samsung Galaxy S Plus phone (firmware I9001XXKPF), I want to build a module tun.
tell me plz the link where to download the source code for kernel 2.6.35.7-perf (androind 2.3.5) to compile the module yourself.
Hi, I rooted my Galaxy S Plus using KeksFlip's guide. I then tried to install OpenVPN dbx4's method. However I got stuck at adb remount:
Code:
D:\temp\adb>adb remount
remount failed: Operation not permitted
D:\temp\adb>adb shell
$ su
su
# mkdir /system/xbin/bb
mkdir /system/xbin/bb
mkdir failed for /system/xbin/bb, Read-only file system
#
Is there anything I'm doing wrong?
Thanks!
You have to remount the system-filesystem on GT-i9001 yourself in adb shell:
mount -o rw,remount -t ext4 /dev/block/mmcblk0p15 /system
When you're done, mount read only again:
mount -o ro,remount -t ext4 /dev/block/mmcblk0p15 /system
Can anyone tell me why the module fails to insert even though it's the same kernel number?
"init_module tun.ko failed (exec format error).
I have the same problem with cifs.ko that is also built for my phone's kernel.
Hi folks,
here's an easy-to-install busybox for your Galaxy Tab 2. NOW with Cyanogen Mod support.
ChangeLog:
BusyBox 1.21.0-git Nano1 (2012-07-28): initial release
BusyBox 1.21.0-git Nano2 (2012-07-29): applied various patches:
BUGFIX: flush all open files after listing them (ls)
BUGFIX: when setting hostname from file p**** whole name
COMPAT: ps now accepts (= ignores) all options a POSIX ps should
allow passing -mthumb to make
ash applet now exports HOME
silently ignore processes from inittab with terminal names without matching device file
default behaviour of 'showkey' applet changed from displaying interpreted keycode to decimals
do not show a message when testing an uninitialized variable
changed some terms in top applet output (rss vs. vsz)
BusyBox 1.21.0-git Nano3 (2012-08-05): major fix
NEW: rfkill applet¹
several minor modifications to applet
BUGFIX fixed a bug in busyinstall that left system without 'sh' upon uninstall²
provide busybox-patches to the world
BusyBox 1.21.0-git Nano4 (2012-08-15): minor fix / cm 10 edition
updated to latest git (some bugfixes)
BUGFIX: reading profile now works
BUGFIX: adjusted shell paths
BUGFIX: history now works
BUGFIX: no longer replace reboot on stock rom³
NEW: Cyanogen Mod edition (tested on cm10)
¹ Either redo 'busyinstall install', or do 'ln -sf /system/bin/busybox /system/bin/rfkill'
² You can find the original sh in you CWM backup, or here: http://www.nanolx.org/downloads/P3110/original-sh
If you didn't get /system/bin/sh.orig after 'busyinstall install', use this file as /system/bin/sh.orig
³ push new busyinstall into tablet to ensure future install/uninstall is fine. then do 'mv /system/bin/reboot.orig /system/bin/reboot'
from within 'adb shell' as root to get original reboot back.
Prerequisites:
* root access on your Tablet
Download:
busybox (normal): http://www.nanolx.org/downloads/P3110/busybox-nano4
busybox (debug): http://www.nanolx.org/downloads/P3110/busybox_unstripped-nano4
busyinstall (installer/stock): http://www.nanolx.org/downloads/P3110/busyinstall
busyinstall (installer/cm10): http://www.nanolx.org/downloads/P3110/busyinstall-cm
profile (optional): http://www.nanolx.org/downloads/P3110/profile¹
busybox (patches): http://www.nanolx.org/downloads/index.php?dir=P3110/busybox-patches/
¹ profile is a generic file, read on each startup of busybox. Mine sets HOME to /,
and puts /system/xbin/ in front of /system/bin/ in PATH. You can also adjust the
prompt (PS1) or whatever here, it's valid for all users. You could check for
'$(id -u) == 0' to adjust prompt for root, if not 0, for ordinary user.
Ordinary user should get 'busybox (normal)', rather than 'busybox (debug)'.
NEW INSTALLATION (STOCK ROM):
Putting busybox on internal sd-storage:
Code:
adb push busybox /mnt/extSdCard/
adb push busyinstall /mnt/extSdCard/
replace "extSdCard" if you saved busybox somewhere else
Code:
adb shell
su
chmod 0777 /mnt/extSdCard/busybox
chmod 0777 /mnt/extSdCard/busyinstall
/mnt/extSdCard/busybox remount -o rw,remount /system
/mnt/extSdCard/busybox mv -f /mnt/extSdCard/busybox /system/bin/
/system/bin/busybox mv -f /mnt/extSdCard/busyinstall /system/bin
busyinstall install
NEW INSTALLATION (CYANOGEN ROM):
Putting busybox on device:
in Settings > Development > set 'root access' to 'apps + adb'
Code:
adb root
adb shell
busybox mount -o rw,remount /system
exit
adb push busybox /system/xbin/busybox.nano
adb push busyinstall /system/bin/busyinstall
adb push profile /system/etc/profile # optional, if downloaded profile
adb shell
chmod 0777 /system/bin/busyinstall
busyinstall install
UPDATE:
Just download busybox, busyinstall and replace the ones in /system/bin/ - it will instantly work:
Code:
adb push busybox /system/bin/
adb push busyinstall /system/bin/
adb shell
su
toolbox chmod 0777 /system/bin/busybox # if you use windows, the executable bit might be missing in the uploaded file
chmod 0777 /system/bin/busyinstall
UNINSTALLATION:
Code:
ab shell
su
busyinstall --
That's it!
I tested everything and it does work perfect, either way a backup (CWM) is always recommened, when working around with stuff down the stack.
Suggestions welcome.
Out of curiosity, what is the difference between what this does and what BusyBox (by Stericson) from the Play Store does?

mine is a newer version
has all features of busybox (stericsons free version does not have all applets in busybox enabled, eg. 'sh' applet is missing)
installation 100% GT-P3XXX optimized
As of now, mostly personal preference I'd say.
Edit: But I'm currently applying stuff from busybox-power (maemo) which adds serveral bugfixes and stuff to busybox.
OK, improved version of busybox available in post 1 (+ changelog)
OK, thanks for letting me know!
I actually haven't done much with my Tablet lately as I've been busy with my phone as that now has CM10 too
But once I get my phone all set I'll use your BusyBox and give it a go!
Also, you said your busybox version is newer...but busybox via my phone is version 1.20.2. Just letting you know!
Thanks for this btw, I'd rather have a modified version optimized for my tablet versus a more universal version so to speak. Plus, with your updated applets! Thanks!

Oh, ... mine is 1.21.0-git - fixed the typo
First,thank you for your work,second I've a question: I've an p3100 (wifi+gsm) ,it rooted on stock 4.0.4 ,and no busybox installed.It has 16gb onboard ,and I don't have at the moment any external microsd in slot,I've ordered an 32gb,but it hasn't come yet.Can you please tell me if it's safe puting your files in /sdcad (not ExtSdCard like you wrote) and give the commands using ''sdcard'' word ?
For e.g:
db shell
su
/mnt/sdcard/busybox remount -o rw,remount /system
I need busybox to backup my /efs folder ,but I don't want to screw something,so please tell me if it is safe to use internal memory (sdcard) for busybox install?Also ,when I'll receive the microsd ,I will need to install again busybox with your original commands from this topic ?
Thanks a lot!!
Best Regards!

Of course you can. It does not matter where you put busybox. All that matters is, that you adjust the commands to your path.
In your you would push the files using ADB, like
Code:
adb push busybox /mnt/sdcard
adb push busyinstall /mnt/sdcard
also you don't need to re-do this when you got your sd-card, because during the steps you move busybox/busyinstall into /system/bin/.
Edit: updated instructions to clarify this.
Ok,thank you for your time,everything it's clear now.I'll try later,when I'm going home.
Cheers!

OK,first problem:when I try to execute the first comand,it gives me ''permission denied'',so after a little reading,because my kernel it's stock,I've installed Chainfire's ''adbd Insecure v1.0 '' http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1687590 to give me rights.After that I've no more errors,but,when I execute first command in adb,it says nothing,just hanging,and adb doesn't come back to # symbol ,and because of that I can't execute the next command.Any ideea what I'm doing wrong?Thanks!
What command failed?
Gesendet von meinem GT-P3110 mit Tapatalk 2
I don't know how to explain,it not really failed, but when I type
/mnt/sdcard/busybox remount -o rw,remount /system the adb doesn't return anything back,and doesn't come back to # symbol ,it just staying,nothing more,no response.I was waiting 2 minutes,and nothing ,doesn't return to # .I can type the next command
/mnt/sdcard/busybox mv /mnt/sdcard/busybox /mnt/sdcard/busyinstall /system/bin/
it's the same,no output,nothing.
Can you please tell me what I'm doing wrong?
Thanks again!
Now I'm stuck,even with adbd insecure activate I cannot execute commands:
C:\Documents and Settings\X\Desktop\ADB>adb shell

Maybe I need first to install Stericsson's busybox from Market?At the moment,as I said before I don't have busybox installed at all,only su.
One more thing,every time when I save from your link busyinstall,no matter what browser,the file is saved as busyinstall.txt
It is normal ,or I need to rename it?
Thanks a lot!
Hmm... seems I forgot a little thing.
do this after you put busybox on tablet, before anything else:
Code:
adb shell
su
chmod 0777 /mnt/sdcard/busybox
then follow the rest of the instructions.
/goingtofixfirstpost
Same story,take a look:
[email protected]:/ # chmod 0777 /mnt/sdcard/busybox
chmod 0777 /mnt/sdcard/busybox

I don't know if this is what you want,but here we go:
I'm going to check your logs soon and report back.
Meanwhile I updated to Nano3 - see first post.
I got no clue why it does not work for you, but me.
What boot image and ROM are you using? Default boot/ROM, rooted boot/ROM, cyanogen?
I only tested default ROM with my boot. Currently testing cyanogenmod 10, but except some adjustments to busyinstall it will work there, too.
Sorry for the late reply,I'm on vacation until Sunday,and my acces to internet it's very limited here.Now,regarding my problem,first when I got the tablet it was on stock 4.0.3 ,wich I rooted manually to keep the counter to 0 (for warranity) ,and after that I updated to stock 4.0.4 using Mobile Odin Pro,with Everoot option ( it's rooting the rom on the fly) .So now I'm rooted on stock 4.0.4 ,stock recovery, and no busybox installed.I fell more secure and want to install your busybox version,because it's specialy designed for tab2,and it's has features from Maemo (I'm a big fan,I owned an N800,and I've also an N900 ).Maybe,if you have the time and the skills,you can pack it on an .apk version,if it's possible,of course.I will try more Sunday,when I'll be back home.Thanks again for your patience and help.Best Regards!
It will be great if we have a kernel (even stock) with CWM and this busybox...
I am also rooted with flash counter 0 and stock recovery.

Try rebooting.
If rebooting it doesn't work, it might be because when installing the busybox something on the System side messed up. The only way to fix this would be to HOB with Data and the re-rooting the device. Everything which can be found through this link Here. If you don't run a Linux distro this can be ran off of a Live USB setup. You can make a simple one using a 4 or 8 gig USB thumb drive and make sure that you let it make some space for updates and adding files. I would keep this around just for the fact that you don't need any specific drivers to run on Linux like you need on Windows. There are treads that have instructions on using Windows to get this done, but I would say that Ubuntu would be the best way to accomplish anything. Best of Luck.

Would it brick if I flashed it using RSD Lite? Just wondering because I've done that before and am familiar with it. If not, yes I do have Windows, not Linux, so I can try the HOB.

I would stick with the HOB just to keep the data. The only route I have found that will successfully re root it is done with Linux. It can be done running Linux on a thumb drive as long as there was space created for updates.
