[HACK] Busybox for HTC Tattoo - CoburnBrew Flavor! :D

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?

I know friend!
I asked the chmod without adb, or if they could use the chmod as root from the busibox console

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

The next Linux kernel root vulnerability (which works on the Tattoo) should bring us root, as well as other Android devices such as the Eris.

I was able to install Busybox on my phone successfully. But the problem is I don't know what it's for. Would anyone be kind enough to post a link or a tutorial for this? Thanks.

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?

Sorry if I lost you. Let me sum it up: It's a 'feature pack' for Android Developers, which could be used in conjunction with rooting tools.

That code is old, and apparently won't work. It won't compile either, Paul from Modaco tried it and it just spat the dummy and gave a make error.

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.

What is ADB shell?

It's Android Debug Bridge. Basically, it's a command line interface from your PC to your phone. Think of a terminal emulator that you run on the phone itself. ADB is pretty much the same, but from a PC. It is part of Android SDK. You can also find it included in many installation packages posted here on XDA, e.g. CWM recovery. There is an executable and a couple of DLLs.

Sorry, but i know what it is now, how do i run it though? im trying to follow the htc desire hd guide to root my phone, which everything is done up until the point i have to test that i have root in debug mode. Not sure how to do this? run abd.exe? it just showed me a cmd window which runs and then dissapears.

If you got your phone rooted or want to test it run adb.exe shell the type su and hit enter. If the prompt change from $ to # you have root access

What is likely to be the problem if it says SU permission denied?

If you are on stock, that means that you have no root access. If you have cm10 or cm10.1 you have to enable adb root access somewhere in the settings. I am sorry but I can not tell you at the moment where to enable it because I am on stock right now.

[GUIDE][UBUNTU]Unruu HTC RUUs

Hello guys, this is a very small guide on how to Unruu HTC official RUUs...
the tool that we are going to use is not mine so all credits go to kmdm, he made this tool!
i will just explain you how to install it and use it
WHAT DO I NEED? (I won't explain how to install 3-4-5-6-7, you can retrieve all the infos you need here)
1- Ubuntu (i'm actually using Ubuntu 13.04 but pretty much every Linux based distro should work!)
2- libunshield v0.7 or higher
3- ADB & Fastboot installed (install the SDK and you're done)
4- Python 2.6 or 2.7 (Android supports only this one)
5- GNU Make 3.81 or higher ( i have the 3.82 version)
6- JDK 6 (obviously!)
7- Git 1.7 or higher
8- Some experience with the terminal​
HOW TO INSTALL THE PACKAGE
First we need to make sure that libunshield is installed on our system
to install it you just have to type these commands
Code:
$ git clone https://github.com/kmdm/unshield.git
$ cd unshield/
$ git checkout -t origin/v18\_wip
$ ./bootstrap
$ ./configure --prefix=/usr
$ make
$ sudo make install
after that you should have that package installed and you're ready to install the real tool​
HOW TO INSTALL THE TOOL
Create a folder and name it htc_tools (just to make it easier) or whatever you want
Code:
$ mkdir htc_tools
At this point you need to copy the folder of the tool from sources
Code:
$ git clone https://github.com/kmdm/unruu.git
Now you want to type these commands
Code:
$ ./autogen.sh
$ ./configure
$ make
$ sudo make install
You should get something like this
Ok now you're pretty much done!
if you want to unruu a RUU you have to paste the RUU itself in the unruu folder and then you simply have to run the following command
Code:
$ ./unruu name_of_the_RUU.exe
​
OK! you're done! now you should have a file in the unruu directory named rom.zip and that's the file you are looking for
GOOD LUCK DEVS!

Also good this guide for some new guys!

Amazing!!! SD is Rocking the house :thumbup:

glad to see that somebody looks at this guide it has been pretty hidden for days

If you are having problems compiling and it is saying you need libunshield 0.9 or higher this what I did.
create a .bashrc file and put the following in this file
PKG_CONFIG_PATH=$PKG_CONFIG_PATH:/usr/local/lib/pkgconfig
export PKG_CONFIG_PATH
then save it, source .bashrc
and ./configure --prefix=/usr
then make
make install
and you should be good
What this does it takes the pkg_config for libunshield that is in /usr/local/lib and tells the configure program that the version is > 0.7

I have already installed libunshield by using git.. but still ve got same error:
checking for UNSHIELD... no
configure: error: unruu requires at least version 0.9 of libunshield
Im running ubuntu i think it's version 12.. could somoene tell me what command i should run to fix that issue, please

Root on Mac?

Anyway to root the Fire on a Mac? I see the Windows tool but nothing for Mac...

Mac . . .
Do we have to help?
What FireOS version do you have? Did you avoid connecting to wifi?
There may not be a point n click rooting tool for macs but you can always do it manually.

It is new, never connected to internet. I have enabled ADB but fast boot does not see the device, Where do I need to get the drivers for the Fire at for Mac? I have FireSO 5.0.1

You can get drivers from google.
This also came up on google.

Can use the long winded way from there with the sdk but the attached files are for older version of adb that wouldn't connect to my friend's Fire as it's a Lollipop based device.

Question Request: Run a few "adb shell" commands on a Xiaomi 11

Hey you lucky Mi 11 owners,
I'm trying to compile a database for Android Devices - something like the Grade Partition Table Reference started a while ago here @xda, but a lot more detailed, including:
-cat /proc/cpuinfo
- getprop
- service list
- lshal
- ps -Zef
- ls -l /dev
- ls -l /dev/block/by-name
- cat /proc/partitions
- df
- mount
- dumpsys (lots of output)
I make the results public at http://newandroidbook.com/ddb/ so other people, primarily researchers and rooters/modders, can benefit. Any help would be *greatly* appreciated. It's really simple to do this (especially on Linux, just use "script" then "adb shell", then run all these , exit from device, exit from script, and grab typescript.txt)

I have sent my debugging records, copied and saved by CMD of win10. Because my linux can't seem to load usb
