i grabbed it out of the system.img but yes that is what I need.. just cant get back in adb while in recovery lol

lol, i didn't delete anything when i first got su, and i've been afraid to turn my phone off even though i have superuser permissions, titanium, just didn't want to take th chance. Good luck getting back into recovery.
Maybe try using Bloo for Android or Babbler instead

ya i forgot to install busybox the first time so i tried for another day straight got back in and then deleted this like a idiot.. the offical FB app still works from market but I cant sync anyones facebook to my contacts atm.

Dont know if you tried
Get the loop.bat and it makes it pretty easy to get in
sometimes I have to do it 2 or 3 times but thats about the most it takes me to get into adb.
try it, it made rooting this phone the easiest root method on any phone I rooted so far.
did a 3g fender
a bunch of moto droids and one N1
I tried to post the bat file but its not working so here's my second method for you
Open a text program and paste all this in it then save it as loop.bat
:TOP
adb shell
GOTO TOP
This will make it easy to get into recovery for you
watch for the error to show up then you know you got it then you hit
ctrl+c to stop it

I had to use the loop.bat file to get adb in recovery, content for now until someone figures out how to unlock NAND protection.

Did the same thing. Downloaded that file and it won't let me install it tho.???? Any suggestions?

just wait for the nand unlock and all will be well then

Same problem
I downloaded the file, can someone please explain how to install it using ADB?

After rooting your phone...

What were the first 3 things you did to your phone? Did you install applications that require root and if so what were they? Did you get ClockworkMod Recovery installed and backed up your phone? Just curious to see what everyone did right after rooting your phones.
For me I did the following:
1) Installed ClockworkMod Recovery & backed up my phone
2) Installed Titanium Backup Pro (why does it only show 5 things and not all apps?)
3) Installed ShootMe

For titanium you have to update busybox, you click fix or something I forget but after the update you will see everything

Yep. Go into Titanium, hit the "Problem?" option on the bottom and you will get a pop-up box saying Auto-upgrade for BusyBox, then hit Yes, do it and it will update and show all your apps afterward

1. Installed ROM manager.
2. Back everything up
3. Installed root explorer to delete bloatware
Sent from my HTC Glacier using XDA App

the only thing i have done is used it to disable the apps that came on it .. not show in the app list and keeps it from running but gets the updates still if they get one .. figured it was better than removing them since there really wasnt a recovery or restore or other rom to flash again if something goes wrong from an uninstalled app or something .. it has enough memory anyhow.
Setting up adb was a pain in the ass due to the given drivers dont install ... there is some code that you have to copy/paste into the inf file(that wasnt in the guide) for the mytouch 4g.
other than that .. havent done anything .. im waiting till the something solid comes out ... not a big fan of rom manager .. havent tried titanium .. i really did like armon ra recovery .. hope he makes one for this thing.

This is what I did.

Hmmm I'm not all to familiar with ADB yet but I have had to use it to turn S back on after getting it OFF with the rooting process and the driver installed that was on the sd card without problem (I'm assuming seeing as I needed the driver in order to complete the process... again I'm new to it all).
Quick question how can I check it again to make sure I have adb set up right?
*edit* just to make sure I have it right, and correct me if I am wrong, I connected my phone to the computer started a command prompt, typed in "adb devices" and it showed "List of devices attached, HT0********* device" - so is it fair to say I have adb installed correctly?
I also went to my device manager and seen *Android USB Devices and then under it MY HTC - so I'm guessing that is the name the HTC driver took when I installed it.
Again, I am sharing this as a peace of mine to myself and maybe someone else that is new to the process like myself (but learning thanks to every one of you all here) that is just wanting to make sure its done right.

hmmm you cant open the command prompt and hit adb devices and there it is from what i know .. you have to cd into it first .. which would be the default of cd C:\android-sdk-windows\tools (if you put the SDK folder into the root of your C: on your comp) .. then you can type adb devices and you should see yours there and then adb shell and I usually do a "su" as well ..
if ya really want to test it out type in reboot and the phone will restart ... but if you see the list of devices that should be confirmation enough really

glad it worked for ya ..
another thing to try if you have not done so yet is to try something like this in the terminal or thru adb.
pm disable com.tmobile.apppack <hit enter>
you should get a message saying something like new status disabled .. and not just killed
then go into menu/settings/applications/manage applications/all/ and find the one that says "com.android.providers.applications" hit that and then force close .. this will restart the launcher to show the change and that damn app pack that comes preloaded that you cant uninstall will be gone from the applications.
However .. this DOES NOT uninstall them it just keeps the icon from showing up in your apps and prevents it from running but will still get the automatic updates if there is one for it .. how damn cool is that
if you are in adb hit pm list package and it will show you all of the com.names of all the apps on the phone and you can type whatever you want using the pm disable thing like about to remove it from the app list but without unstalling them.
if you want to enable them then its just pm enable whatever app name here.

Clockwork mod installed then I tried to over clock but I figured out that the current kernal is not supported! Or something like that. Then i came here to see if any roms were available yet! Unfortunately there's none for now! Hopefully we will see CyanogenMod on our MyTouch 4g! By the way its my first post

How and what bloatware did you remove? I know that there is a crap on this phone that I will never use. ie guitar hero and those other craps. I just want to know the steps to do the same thing. Thanks

I need help with roms

I cannot flash roms or kernel. It won't boot recovery!!! I have stock rooted shift. How do I make a custom recovery? And install roms and kernel

Probably the easiest way is to download ROM manager from the market. The first option in the app is flash clockworkmod. Very fast and automagic. Have fun! Happy flashing.

I have that and kernel manager. Flashed it twice after it didn't work the first time. It hangs up on the HTC boot logo after I try to boot recovery

turn off your phone
power it on while holding vol down.
does the first line say S-OFF or S-ON?

S on I didn't do nand

I've tried a few more things. I used visionary to root my phone. Was that the wrong thing? It all works. But I can't flash. Lol

Yeah if you want you can use terminal emulator on your phone just open it up hit su get your super user permissions then start the commands the first time I rooted I did it using adb the second time I rooted I lost my adb and just chrome to phoned all the codes from my pc to root it from my phone
Sent from my PG06100 using Tapatalk

Alright!! Thank you all who have been helping. I have only a few more questions because I'm a little slow ^_^ ok, first. From the emulator I typed Su and gave permission.... now what? I looked for the commands in development and couldn't find. I'm trying to turn s off. I don't care so much about perm or temp root right now as long as I get that annoying s on to be s off. Lmao. I need commands please!!! Assume I have no access to a computer!

Check out the development subforum. It's a sticky thread by bcnice20.
i dont need a signature

Alright I have that, now its not explained there but in order to do that via the terminal do I need to dl the framework and sdk to my phone? I do not have a running computer right now. I had a crap amd system which is officially dead. It's now all spare parts. So doing the shell on a computer isn't going to work for me :/ yes, I'm difficult. Lol

the commands given in that thread is the exact ones you would need, but since you're using a terminal emulator in your phone, you don't need adb.
do step 1
skip step 2
do step 3,4,5 via your terminal
do step 6
extra points:
once you're perma-rooted, you can go straight to installing Rom Manager, and flash clockworkrom that way.
then reboot your phone to recovery, and do a nandroid backup.
once that's done, you're all set.

Thank you dude!!!!!!! That rocks!!! I'm at work and I'm doing it right now. This is way more important than work ^_^ anyone else addicted to Android?

When the perm root method was finally developed I was at work with no access to a PC. I ended up rooting via phone terminal just because I couldn't bear to wait a couple hours until I got home.
^ Shift Faced

Could someone explain step 1 and 3 for me if I'm using android terminal emulator. I tried it but nothing happened. My device is temprooted. I download the file into the download folder. I use root explorer to extract it... where?? I tried a couple places even the root folder (Its not in SD card) then once its good how do I check the md5 from the terminal. I type Su to get permission then what? The string in the post doesn't seem to do anything no matter how I type it. Or maybe I just don't know the command. I'm fairly new to this kinda thing. :/

That's awesome. I'm feeling the same way. I don't want to wait for a computer it might be a few weeks I'm impatient now lol

Wait, I got part of it. I just need to know how to save the file to the root of the SD card and then how to check the md5sum. Once I know that I'm good to go

[Q] Rooting Completely via ADB

I have adb set up correctly and drivers installed. When I use command prompt on Windows 7 64 bit and type in "adb devices" it lists a string of letters/numbers and after that it says device. When I type in adb push rage /sdcard/ the command prompt moves the cursor to a new blank line and I can't type anything in. Is this normal? Phone is HTC EVO shift 4G running stock 2.3.3 and HTC sense 2.1. Again comp OS is Windows 7 64 bit. Yes the rage file is in the /platform-tools folder. Any ideas on if this is normal/alternative rooting methods (excluding ShiftRR and other comp programs. I checked them all. No apps either. They don't work, I've tried them all.) If it helps I'm following the guide at: wiki.cyanogenmod.com/wiki/HTC_Evo_Shift_4G:_Full_Update_Guide

1) Rage doesnt work on 2.3.3, it was a froyo exploit. I suggest either using the script I made to automatically do it for you if you want or you can do it manually.
2) The auto root method that I created is located at the link --> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1277793
3) Manual method is in general section.

Thanks bunches. I'm going to try your script next time I try. I'm usually kinda busy. And does your script need any additional files? This is gonna sound like a n00b question but it's because I AM a n00b. What the heck is RUU? It sounds like an EXE file I dl on my comp and run. Correct or not? Sorry if this has been asked anywhere else but I have been searching since August trying to find a rooting method and now that one is close I'm impatient.

It includes everything you need. Just extract everything to a single folder then run Fre3atlast.bat

An RUU is an official way to "update" firmware on your phone in either PG06IMG.zip or .exe format so you were correct. The script even gives you a link to download the format of your choice.

No there is currently no one touch root tool for the shifts that are on 2.3.3 because you have to physically push an image to misc.partition, but once you get it downgraged then you can use like ShiftRR and let that root for you,hit up the stickie section for all the info needed

Wait, if the .zip file can be used to "update" a phone, why not put a custom recovery.img and everything else in it and update that way? Sorry if this is a stupid question just don't flame me please.

It's not S-off, just doesnt version check. It needs the signature to be verified and without the HTC private keys, that doesnt work.

His script will temp root and push the exploit allowing you to use the RUU which will downgrade to Froyo. Once you run the RUU use either the CM wiki or use THIS guide to root.

Where do I start the guided at? Since the script temproots, does that mean I start the wiki at flashing the HBOOT?

Thanks that's what I thought to.

Ok, so my phone got an OTA update, and I updated. Then I went to downloads, and redownloaded it. Is it still signed? If it is, is there any way I can use that to root my phone? I can upload the file to 4shared if need be.

1) until you can verify that you can root again after taking an OTA, you NEVER update. 2) Just try and run the script again, then try to downgrade.

1: I thought it was ICS
2: I mean modify the OTA update zip file.

[Q] Is a PC needed?

I got a friend at work that wants me to mod his Triumph. I was able to root it using gingerbreak.apk but I can't get wireless tether to work. He also would like a theme. Soooo....
Do I need a computer to put CWM on his phone? I read that all you do is replace something in the folder of the recovery.
So, could I use root explorer to replace the recovery and reboot?
I really wanna put CM7 on his phone so he can use the theme chooser app and use themes off the market, sorry if I didn't search enough but its not my phone and I don't wanna spend much time with it.
Theoretically I should be able to have CM7 on there in 10min?
Thanks in advance for your help!!
- Sent from my OG Epic 4G runnin fine on CM9 -

You access the folder with the recovery.img in download mode. So you need a computer to do that.

I wrote a guide with step by step instructions over at androidforums.com in the all things root section for the Triumph. I would recommend that you check that out.
