So, as you may or may not have heard, the Sprint Hero has been rooted via CVE-2009-3547. FlashRec has been updated to support backing up (and hopefully flashing - though that has not been tested) the recovery image on the Sprint Hero.
If you just want a root shell, you can use the "asroot2" binary from the FlashRec apk like: "asroot2 /system/bin/sh".
Hopefully the budding Sprint Hero firmware makers will start making firmwares for you guys to enjoy now - and a custom recovery image FlashRec can flash
Let me know about problems with FlashRec 1.1.3-20091107 on your Sprint Hero - I'll try to fix them, though fixes may be a bit slow due to me not owning a Sprint Hero, and being too lazy to flash a vulnerable kernel.
Note that HTC will patch this problem in future updates.
Aha, the man himself! This should probably be made the official thread now...
So is it that there's more than just the radio that's different about our CDMA phones?
Also, is there a guide or anything on how to make ROMs? I'd be glad to work on porting some (and testing as needed).
Awesome!
This is my FIRST post, and rooting for Sprint Hero is the reason I came to XDA!
I'm posted on this thread to see what everyone thinks/does because I am completely new to this coming over from BlackBerry!
Thanks again!

Ok, and just how does one run asroot? I've installed flashrec.apk, made backup of the recovery rom. I know that i should be able to upload a new rom (one someone makes one that it is) but I just want a root shell. extracting the asroot2 binary, putting it on the sd card and trying to run it is a no go

/sdcard is noexec by default - the easiest place to use is /data/local/ from adb shell. You can put asroot2 there, chmod 0755 asroot2, then run it.
I've also uploaded http://zenthought.org/tmp/superuser-for-stock.zip but I have not tested it on a Sprint Hero (works in the 1.5 emulator, though.)
It's a bit annoying to install, but nothing too bad.
That file may change as people report bugs (if there are any).

im new to this forum and linux and rooting what all do i need to do in order to run that wifi tether and apps2sd im clueless here
Will this work on the Verizon Eris?
Hello...
I am a long time WM user, but thinking about converting to droid (via a Verizon Eris) ... anyone know if this will give me root on the Verizon version?
Bravo, XDA NEVER disappoints.
I've been keeping an update on these forums for the past weeks since I got my Hero on launch. This is the moment I've been waiting for. This is why I even registered for an account here on XDA.
I'm very tech savvy, but how exactly do I simply get root access within the stock firmware to do apps2sd and wifi tether and other brilliant things.
I've installed the .apk provided, and backed up my rom to my sdcard. But I'm clueless on what exactly to do next.
Any help is appreciated, I know I'm not the only new android fan wondering how to do this once impossible task.
Thanks to all that have helped and spent their time on this, when I'm sure they could have been doing something else.

There's a few guides posted now that explain step by step how to get a root shell. Flashrec will give you the easy way to flash a recovery ROM onto your Hero (this will allow you to upload the custom ROM's that I'm sure people are working and waiting for in all sorts of excitement). The recovery ROM also lets you do a FULL backup/restore of your Hero...settings and all.

so i just got my captivate. i've rooted and put busybox on it, i'm having some trouble trying to remove the at&t permissions so that i can install my own apps. But im wondering if i can/should skip this process and go ahead and install a custom rom. and are there any that you guys can recommend that might resolve the issue with the gps and remove the lock att has on installing apps. thanks in advance.

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=751182 will help you with all of this. I am using it with my Captivate, I can sideload apps, get off AT&T Market apps, it got rid of their bloatware. Most of the bugs that it had with the stock ROM and bloatware are gone, very snappy now, GPS, for me is working fine, my battery life has increased drastically since flashing with this. Hope this helps. Are you sure your rooted? Do you have Super user permisions and Titanium Backup? If you don't then you aren't rooted but this Unleash the Beast ROM/Tool will root it for you too!
Sorry but I forgot, you can find ROM Manager on the market get it and make a back up of your current ROM just incase you need to flash back to it for any reason, it's easier than using Odin. This will also give you ClockworkMod Recovery.

Glad to hear. Yeah those buttons are a small annoyance for an otherwise awsome phone, I'm used to them now. Enjoy your phone.
I wanted to know if there is a way to root it yet?

I believe you can, but you can't use a one click root method. Everybody still says it's easy to do, but I don't quite get it. I'm not an idiot, but I just don't understand some of the stuff they say to do. Apparantly you have to "install nvflasher through clockworkmod". I see where I can download clockworkmod, but it's just a bunch of DLL files and an exe I think. Then I saw something about installing drivers and they lost me. My only guess was the drivers it installs when you plug your phone into your computer via the usb port? I don't know. Anyway, after installing the nvflasher, I guess you can just flash roms. I don't quite understand how to do that either though, lol.
Follow the first part of this video to get clockworkmod recovery on your phone. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cy9on64jAZs)
From there you can flash roms. In the dev section there is a stock rooted ROM by xboarder.

Just a heads up...I don't think this will work. Unless SOC updated to a new version. Just search the forums use this "how to root after OTA " I recommend NVFLash CWM then if you want 2.3.3 rooted search "stock OTA rooted." Posted by xboarder. Or use a custom rom. This has been asked to many times. Yes it is possible to root some other way. That to is covered by xboarder also. Unless SOC has a new version out with in the last week it wont Work.....read post 4665. But I do have great news......the search options in the forums do work and even Google searches will direct you to xda. If you find a post about something read all of it. Then read the OP(opening post) 3 to 4 time looking at dates and change logs..
So to recap
1) SOC will not work. NVFlash clockwork.
2) use the search/Google.
3) if you read this and did not see xboarders name at least once befor this post, reread.
4) read and reread.....keep reading....the answers are posted.
5) read the OP. Look at dates and change logs.
If you don't like my response to this post go buy an iPhone. The rest of us are sick of seeing the same questions. That is all

Yeah, I might look at it again and give it a try later on. There's still a few things i'm confused about though.
I didn't know you could flash roms without rooting first. But I guess flashing a rooted rom technically does root your phone? It's just a different way of achieving root? Also, if you are gonna flash roms, I thought you had to do the nvflash routine.. which would root your phone anyway.. lol.
I believe some cases that could be true. Root could be needed to install a flash recovery. Our phone use nvidia. The nvflash utility makes it easy. Some one please correct me if I am wrong. When you nvflash you are replacing the factor/stock recovery with CWM. At that point you could put any Rom you like. I kind of see it like a boot disk. Root allows you to see system folders and such. Kind of like having admin rites on your computers operating system. Root also aloes programs to modify system information. To compare this to the common computer root is like an admin account in windows. Unroot is like a user account that companies give you on their computer. CWM is like having a boot disk. I hope I cleared that up for some one.

Hey I know u mean well but I would first ask doniqcc since it is his rom ya know
Root first?
So with this whole NVflash thing, does that mean you really don't need to root first, because NVflashing is already rooting it for you?

Yes and no, in that order. You can use nvflash to replace the stock recovery with a custom recovery, such as clockworkmod recovery. Using custom recovery, you can flash any rom that's compatible with the phone. Most of the roms have superuser privileges (root) built into them.
Good news i found a root for and it works i am so happy and now i dont have to mess with the eaglesblood rom (now offence) but you do have to flash clockworkmod recovery in order to flash the su root package for my info go to facebook and search LG G2x (official)

Hey everyone, I just want to let you all know that I was able to do the NVFlash, backup everything, and install CM7.
I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT THE HECK I WAS WORRIED ABOUT!!!! It was so incredibly easy.
CM7 is installed, however I'm having issues with my APN now working and losing its information, I've posted for help on that in another thread.
Thanks again, and to those out there who worry like I did...have no fear....CWM is a neat tool, ESPECIALLY for backup of your entire phone.
Thanks.

1st my name is juan i am new here.
i already did the steps One-Click-G2x-recovery-flasher-09-06
and was able to Booting into ClockworkMod Recovery v5.0.2.0
i download cyanogenmod 7 and try to run it but after everything is done
i get the cyanogenmod 7 reboot loop, also i was able to restore back to
the way i had it. i am a total noob at this, so i can use ClockworkMod Recovery v5.0.2.0 does that mean i root my cell or not. i also download super user.
i tried to root my self since SuperOneClick v2.1.1 did not work for me since it always froze on step 6.i would love any help i can get to root my phone and be able to use apps such as Titanium Backup/super user or rom manger.
thanks for you time
Did you clear the Dalvik cache and do a factory reset? If not you will most likely get a reboot loop. You should format the system, user area and Dalvik cache any time you change roms, or the loop is likely. Try again but zap everything first. Good luck.
OK I did as you said it works fine now I have super user and rom manager working without it saying I need a rooted device. Now I am back to my default for the main reason that I didn't have my apps,android market,contacts and I could not connect to my T-Mobile network.I read I can use titanium backup for but I can't since it tells me I need a root my device. Anything I can do about this?
Should I installl the P999_2.3.3_Stock_OTA.zip I found on this forum would that give me root access sorry for the noon questions and thanks for helping me on this.

If you install CM 7 it is already rooted. You an also install the pre-rooted OTA and it will be rooted. I suggest just starting over, logging into Google and reinstalling all your apps. I have had bad luck and near disasters trying to use Titanium backup to restore settings on other devices. It only takes about an hour to redo everything on Android.

Super One Click doesn't work. Google closed the exploits that made it possible in new Gingerbread builds. I have been working on a way to do it without having to redo everything but so far it is not working. Hopefully soon. Will post something when and if I get it working.
thats to bad v,v i got to step 7 using this
if you are having the remounting failed problem then try doing this (credit to g0mezz http://forum.xda-developers.com/member.php?u=3995974) :
1. Download SuperOneClickv2.1.1-ShortFuse, after download extract the files into a folder with the same name as the archive.
2. Connect the phone to the PC with Debugging mode (Enter the phone settings menu, to the Development and tick the USB debugging mode)
3. (In Windows 7, but for Win XP you can use "Command prompt here" or similar) Go to the ADB folder inside the SuperOneClick folder, hold down shift and right click from the ADB folder, click on "Open command window here", than write:
adb devices (after this command you should see your device id)
adb shell
echo 1 > /data/local/lge_adb.conf,
Do not close the window, leave it like that.
4. Start SuperOneClick.exe, leave the settings to the SuperOneClick as they are when it opens, click on ROOT and wait, it will say Starting ADB server..., than it will do it's job and than it will appear Waiting for device... it will say ok and that if it freezes while running gingerbreak do the following:
a. Turn USB Debugging OFF wait until it will appear in the window again Starting ADB server..., after that,
b. Turn USB Debugging ON, and after this trick it will start rooting.
Disclaimer: YMMV, i tried this on a gingerbread P500 after trying every other option and failing, and finally rooted using this method.

2.3.3 doesnt have a root working thru one click u need to do the nvflashrecovery process and have the prerooted rom on your phone to flash after you get the recovery on your phone. So i'd start over get the rom you want dl it to your phone then follow the nvflashrecovery process. After its done acsess it and follow the steps on flashing the rom you downloaded. If the market doesnt let you download anything do this go settings-> manage apps-> click all apps-> scroll down to market-> wipe data. This should allow you to reinstall your apps
I already can root my.phone but I still don't want to lost my contacts or data which is why I went back to default instead of staying in weapon g2x mod.

Rooting my G2x (got CWM working already)
Hello everyone! Big time noob here, and was hoping to have some questions answered regarding rooting a G2x that came with Gingerbread (2.3.3) stock. I searched and read quite a few threads, which answered a lot, but a few questions still stuck out. Any help is very much appreciated!
My process so far was to start at this thread. That referred me to TGA_Gunnman's guide on flashing CWM (via Nvflasher) at this thread. That worked well, and I'm able to boot into CWM. So far so good, but here's where the questions come in.
In TGA_Gunnman's guide, there's a link saying to view the Getting Started Guide located at this thread. That Getting Started Guide links back to the "CWM via Nvflasher" guide, so I performed those steps as mentioned earlier (step 2.1 in the Getting Started Guide). Then it says to install ROM Manager (step 2.2) and so on to create backups. Hmm...
From the first thread I linked, and some other threads, it looks like once I have CWM bootable using the Power/Volume Down button method, I just need to clear data/caches and then flash the rooted ROM of my choice. Please chime in if this is incorrect (though from the replies in the thread, my understanding seems correct).
(Q1) Using this method, is there any way to perform an initial backup (Titanium, etc)? It doesn't seem like it, and I'd hate to lose all my apps and have to reinstall/configure, but it's not that big of a deal. (I did a Nandroid backup via CWM already, as detailed in step 4 of the Getting Started Guide.) I see some folks in this thread recommended just re-installing the apps, which is not out of the question. Just thought that if a backup/restore was possible, it might be worth a try.
(Q2) I have to ask: what ROM(s) do you recommend?
Thanks in advance for any help and information you can provide!
Oh I can help I just had the same problem OK you can do the following 1st make sure u have a SD card one big enough I have a 8gb next you can back up apps, contacts and settings using antivirus pro u can just Google the apk n install it.I didn't want to change much in my phone so I just download Gingerbread 2.3.3 rom
Then restore my apps then my contacts and such.
Stuff u need
Antivirus pro-for backup
Rom of ur choice
Androzip- to install apk if u dl antivirus pro apk
This is the rom I used
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1179748
You may use whatever rom u want
Now 1st u use antivirus pro to back up apps and contacts then you can install your rom when done you can use androzip to explore your SD card and find the antivirus pro apk install then restore you apps and contacts sadly the apps lose all data so that means new game n such I hope this long explanation helped I just learned this today ..

Hello everyone on xda,
This is my first time posting here so yes im a noob .But i have searched the forums and i am not successful in finding the right answers.
[SITUATION]
I have managed to install ICS 4.0.3 stock rom to my nexus s from gingerbread 2.3.4. i got the update from this site. I was able to install super user v3.0.7 and spareparts, terminal emulator, blade buddy. I learned how to use ADB and fastboot but just the bare minimum I wanted to try out some custom roms and kernels but i need to back up my apps n data.
So i downloaded titanium back up. I got an error about root rights. My phone is rooted and unlocked so thats weird. It also said i needed to download busybox. so i tried downloading busybox, its always unsuccessful . no matter what i try. i was able to mount the system but no can do.
on another note, i tried using the terminal emulator and putting su on there after a while it says denied. and i get no prompt coming up either
So hopefully someone can help me with my situation. Btw i have no internet access here on my phone as im a soldier deployed overseas and cannot use my phone to connect to the market, wifi is also unavailable here. I also had to wipe everything from gingerbread 2.3.3 in order to get 2.3.4 and ics 4.0.3
