I am using the PRS complete rooting guide. And when it tells me to type cat /sdcard/su > su, i am getting this error message - cat: can't open '/sdcard/su': No such file or directory.
Can anyone help with this?
Do you have su on your sdcard?
use unrevoked. one click root
just use the one click method by unrevoleved its easier
Su is not on the SD card. The sd card is a brand new PNY card. I have Su in the sdk/tools folder.
Then obviously, that command will not work. Use the unrevoked method if you are unsure what these commands do/how they work. Less headache on your end.
where is it located?
maybe i'm missing something obvious, but why pipe the text rather than just copy the file?
Sorry if this is the wrong place, but that command is curious.
This is what it's asking me to do.
From PRS Complete Rooting Guide
Now type the following commands to make it persistent through reboot
Code:
adb shell
su
export PATH=$PATH:/system/bin
cd /system/app
cat /sdcard/Superuser.apk > Superuser.apk
cd /system/bin
cat /sdcard/su > su
ln -s /system/bin/su /system/xbin/su /* IF YOU GET AN ERROR HERE DO rm /system/xbin/su THEN REDO */
chmod 06755 su

I don't know what that guide does, but it doesn't seem right --- it'll mess up the privs, that's why the old root was written as an update-payload.
It's redirected I/O since you can't copy across filesystem boundaries -- ie /sdcard to a different mountpoint.
So if I reboot my phone now, do you think I'll lose root and have to start over?

Either way, it shouldn't matter much. If it didn't work or you lost root for any reason, just go to http://unrevoked.com/ and click on the image for the Incredible. Today unrevoked released version 3 of their tool. This will root your phone and flash the custom recovery all without your needing to do anything in a shell.

AND - if you appreciate unREVoked's work - please donate. They do amazing work and they do it all for free! We're the lucky ones to have such [email protected] developers out there who do this kind of stuff so that we don't have to figure out the exact second to push in our SD cards, push files to the SD card, and then push them to the phone at exactly the right time...... just download, run, and you're done.
Just use the unrevoked 3 you will save plenty of pain and struggle
unrevoked3 worked! Thanks for the help guys.
No problem were glad to be of assistance
Hi all.
I am very happy to annouce that i have already downgrafe from cn froyo2.2
Here are my steps, you can follow it to downgrade your wildfire with cn froyo.
step1 download visionaryplus.r14.apk(this app is fro tmobile g2 but it can give us temp root)
step2 install the apk file. choose Set system r/w after root and Temproot root then wait for a moment and enjoy a coffee.
step3 we get temp root now. open a cmd and input adb shell(make sure you have install relative tools)
step4 input su root(it will change the icon).
step5 copy the mtd0 file to sdcard.
input cat /dev/mtd/mtd0 > /sdcard/misc.img
step6 move the misc.img to your pc and use some hex editor to edit it.
step7 goto 11 row, you will find current version number.
step8 change it to 1.15, save the file.
step9 copy the flash tool and misc.img back to sdcard(flash tool:http://www.android-hilfe.de/attachm...-how-rebrand-o2-desire-fertig-flash_image.zip).
step10 input cat /sdcard/flash_image > /data/flash_image
step11 input chmod 755 /data/flash_image
step12 /data/flash_image misc /sdcard/misc.img
Now you can flash offical android 2.1 ruu rom(don't forget to make gold card).
so you can use unrevoked tool to root ur wildfire and enjoy any other froyo rom.

Does this apply to any Built no. of the device or does it require specific RUU to do it?
Mine is : Built No. 1.25.707.1, Kernel Ver. 2.6.29-c9472, Baseband 13.45.55.24H
Can I use 1.25.405.1 to revert back to Android 2.1?

Please kindly enlighten me.
I am currently on CyanogenMod 6.1.0 RC2.
Once Froyo available officially "keeping my finger cross", I need to revert back to Original ROM in order to update, right?
Sure, I think it can't work with all version.
You change the version number mics.img with HexEditor with the version of Ruu you want to go back
I dit with HK rom and successful.
One important point is you need "gold card"
HAHAHAHA
Thank very very much I will try after working time.... Hope it work to me ))))))
You are the BEST ^^
Will try it later today ^^

I have the same issue with my Wildfire and now have hboot 0.83 so i cant root. Wished i was more into this before I ran the chinese RUU froyo.
I have tried the solution and get stuck at step 3. I have installed terminal emulator (com.android.term.apk) but this crashes after I run it after the temp root. I'm really new to this could you tell me how I get to the cmd prompt and the tools i need to install (the apk) any help and download instructions (links) would be great.
Thanks
My experience is that you need to wait abit 2-3mins after rooting process had been finished
Yeah
All sorted now for my wildfire that I foolishly flashed to chinese RUU froyo 2.2. Now back on 1.24.405.1
I found that I needed to use z4root.1.3.0.apk to get temp root. I'll root it now and try some cooked roms me thinks.
Thanks
this is a great work. THANKS

When I try to copy the mtd0 file to sdcard by "cat /dev/mtd/mtd0 > /sdcard/misc.img"

Hi,
This definately is a timesaver from getting back chinese buzz to HTC service center, Thumbs up, use the z4.root.1.3.0.apk and get your temp root, worked like a charm for me. Thanks for the downgrade solution
There is possible to root my Wildfire after I flash HTC_WWE_2.22.405.1_Radio_13.55.55.2 4H_3.35.20.10_release
I would like to know the same thing. Will we have to wait for a new unrevoked?
Sent from my HTC Wildfire using XDA App
I think it can root with this solution
Use the solution of downrage China 2.2 rom.
- Downrage it to 2.1 rom.
- And root it.
Who try this, and post the to every one
I try but dont work
If you update from RUU you'll lose your root rights.
Unrevoked can't root this software version.
install a flashable version there are a few
Thank for answer but I already flash the RUU version
I have the same problem. But i didnt know how.

This app dont work. help me
For now, there is no easy full root for RUU versions of Froyo. Unrevoked, as yet, does not support Wildfire Froyo. There are some successes with downgrading the Chinese leaked 2.2. If you have tried these, and they have failed, or you do not have the technical ability to follow the instructions, then sit quietly and wait.
With hindsight (unless your update came preinstalled) you have always been warned against OTA and RUU updates. Now, you must simply wait, or develop an exploit or method yourself.

Hey so sad and wait....
nobody know to resolve this problem?
guess not I think we have to wait for an unrevoked update. The good thing is that many people get the froyo for the wildfire now. So many people want it soon.
Anyone figured out how to do it? I've tried following the guides with no success (gingerbreak). Model is P970g and software is 10a. Country code is TLS.
Anyone have a Telus OB and been able to root it? How did you do it?
I've rooted a couple of them, both 10a on Telus, one of them was pretty easy using z4root. Another one wouldn't work with z4root, latest superoneclick, gingerbreak or manually using adb shell to gingerbreak, rageaggainstthecage & psneuter. I did finally get the stubborn one to root wither an older superoneclick; version 1.6.5. Attached it below as it doesn't seem available in CLShortFuse's thread anymore.
Goodluck

I tried both z4 and the superoneclick you suggested to no avail.
Do you think it's safe to try flashing another vulnerable rom? 10b or 10c? I'm worried the basebands may be different and the phone will have no voice/data connection.
Running out of ideas.
Attempted to root another one, same model, same version and none of the previous methods worked, was able to root this one as well using a combination of SOC 2.1.1 and the attached ADB Shell.
1. Download and run SuperOneClick 2.1.1, choose psneuter and click Shell Root
2. It should get stuck on step #4, run task manager, end superoneclick and terminate any adb.exe processes. (You should have Shell Root now)
3. Extract ADB.zip and open a command prompt to where you extracted it.
4. Enter the following commands
Code:
adb push su /tmp/
adb push Superuser.apk /tmp/
adb shell
mount -o rw,remount -t ext3 /dev/block/mmcblk0p8 /system
cat /tmp/su > /system/bin/su
cat /tmp/superuser.apk > /system/app/Superuser.apk
chown root.root /system/bin/su
chmod 06755 /system/bin/su
chown root.root /system/app/Superuser.apk
chmod 0644 /system/app/Superuser.apk
reboot
The permissions on /system/bin/su didn't stick the first time for me, and the phone rebooted a couple times, but eventually it all went through. To verify permissions on su, type "adb shell", then "ls -l /system/bin/su". The permission should read -rwsr-sr-x, if it doesn't repeat the shell root process and type
Code:
adb shell
mount -o rw,remount -t ext3 /dev/block/mmcblk0p8 /system
chmod 06755 /system/bin/su
ls -l /system/bin/su
Ok, i've figured out what the problem is. As soon as the adb process from SOC is shut down, the phone soft reboots and I lose temporary root. I've tried the psneuter exploit in the same adb command shell, but it hangs just like SOC. I've tried to be "quick" and get the commands in before the reboot, but it isn't possible.
Suggestions on how I may bypass that? Otherwise i'll wait for the official 2.3 update in september and try again then.
One of the phones I tried it on, did the same thing, ended the adb process and phone would reboot, pushed a file, phone would reboot, set permissions, phone would reboot. Occasionally the phone would appear to hang, buttons flash at the bottom for awhile, phone becomes unresponsive. Just wait a minute or 2 and it should return to normal. I also tried creating a script to do all of the above before the device had time to reboot and it didn't help.
Persistence was the key.

I tried to follow these instructions, first it says ''Neither ADB nor the SDK need to be installed as all needed files are included in the attachments below (though it won't hurt anything if they are).'' but when you go to the video it says '' Be sure to install ADB on your computer first!''
I have installed it but thats confusing information to begin with right there.
I have installed ADB and downloaded the files, putting the SDK file in C: drive, now it gets confusing....
I have run the Qemu program and it hangs at ''Daemon Started Successfully''
Nothing happens from this point onwards, I've looked around and asked but receive no answers, so I do more googling and find this - http://www.androidpolice.com/2012/09/17/amazon-kindle-fire-hd-7-already-rooted-heres-how-to-do-it/ ...........
this seems ok instructions but I have no clue what to do with these instructions!
''After you download the file, extract the contents and pull SU from /system/bin/ and SuperUser.apk from /system/app/ and put them in the directory you'll be working from''
!! DIRECTORY??? COME AGAIN!???
After that, execute the following commands:
adb shell
rm -r /data/local/tmp
ln -s /data/ /data/local/tmp
exit
adb reboot
adb shell
echo 'ro.kernel.qemu=1' > /data/local.prop
exit
abd reboot
adb shell mount -o remount,rw /system
adb push su /system/xbin/su
adb shell
chown 0.0 /system/xbin/su
chmod 06755 /system/xbin/su
rm /data/local.prop
exit
adb reboot
adb install Superuser.apk
!! VERY GOOD BUT HOW AND WHERE !!
Anybody care to translate these confusing conflicting nonsense instructions please?
Yes I'm well aware I will be wrong with some of my statements.
I need and idiots guide as it were.
Please reply with helpful comments guys, cheers
I should mention I tried following the video instructions but there is a great big picture of a KFHD in the middle of the screen and the quality is so bad you can not make out what is being type in the command prompt.....
Revkyle.com did a video with step by step instructions, that is what I used and worked fine.
