Does anyone know how to verify if phone is properly ROOTED? I typed in su then whoami on the phones Terminal Emulator and received the message Not Found. I was to receive root or whoami: unknown uid 0. everything appeared to go well when I ROOTed my Nexus 1. Perhaps I'm running the commands wrong?
Whoami works for me. It could be that you are not using a rom with busybox. If you type just su [enter] it should give you a # if you are rooted, instead of $.
I think your on to something! I do receive a # sign. But I do not have a custom ROM yet. Tomorrow I will be doing this. I will post my results. Thanks.

Evilkorn,
Your right....I had to download a Custom ROM to make Terminal emulator work. Command WHOAMI now works and Busybox shows up in my file manager! Thanks!
Does someone knows how to allow the root access on android emulator?
I have root while connecting via adb, but I want to debug my application's features which require the root access.
When I type "su" in the ConnectBot terminal application I got:
$ su
su: uid 10036 not allowed to su
I tried to execute from adb shell:
# chmod 4755 busybox
but the busybox did not become root neither.
Please help!

Good. If you find the answer, post it here please.
So, no answer to this?
I ended up by running Android-x86 on the Oracle's VirtualBox emulator. There is a stable Donut and even Froyo available for download. The image is rooted, but does not let me remount the system partition, though.
I hold no responsibility to how you use or not use this info and if you brick phone - you do this at your own risk
There is a couple away you can go about gaining root access with this phone I have tested all 3 ways but only had success with 2 of them.
a) You can download 'z4root' from the Android Market (If is still available) or search XDA forums for it.
b) Search the XDA forums for 'SuperOneClick' which requires mono to work on Linux. I have read people that have had success with 'SuperOneClick' but that was not the case for me.
c) My preferred method:
Prerequisite:
knowledge of Linux and Terminal
knowledge of ADB (guide available in forums)
I did all this using Debian (testing) 64bit, Android SDK.
Creating correct permissions to access the phone via USB:
i) create
Code:
/etc/udev/rules.d/51-android.rules
ii) in the file put
Code:
SUBSYSTEM=="usb", ATTR{idVendor}=="12d1", MODE="0666"
iii) then
Code:
chmod a+r /etc/udev/rules.d/51-android.rules
iv) restart udev or reboot
Downloading and/or Installing required software:
1) Downloading and installing the android-sdk from: developer.android.com/sdk/index.html
2) Downloading and extracting 'SuperOneClick' (you will only need these 5 files: rageagainstthecage, sqlite3, su, busybox and superuser.apk)
3) Copy rageagainstthecage, sqlite3, su, busybox and superuser.apk into the platform-tools directory of android-sdk. Put phone in debug mode.
4) From a terminal (command line) change to the android/platform-tools directory and carefully do these steps.
Check to see if adb can see your phone properly:
Code:
./adb devices
You should see the serial number of you device, if you see bunch of '?' you have done something wrong.
Now for the fun part rooting the phone: <= no phun intended hehe
Code:
./adb push rageagainstthecage /data/local/tmp/rageagainstthecage
Code:
./adb shell
Code:
cd /data/local/tmp
Code:
chmod 0755 rageagainstthecage
Code:
./rageagainstthecage
5) Now wait until you get kicked out from adb before you do the following:
Code:
./adb shell
If everything worked now you should see a "#" instead of the "$" you saw previously in the adb shell which means you shouldn't get "permission denied" in the following steps:
Code:
mount -o rw,remount /dev/block/mdtblock4 /system
Code:
exit
Code:
./adb push su /system/bin/su
Code:
./adb push busybox /system/bin/busybox
Code:
./adb push sqlite3 /system/bin/sqlite3
Code:
./adb push Superuser.apk /system/app/Superuser.apk
Code:
./adb shell
Code:
cd /system/bin
Code:
chmod 4755 su
Code:
chmod 4755 busybox
Code:
chmod 4755 sqlite3
Code:
./adb reboot
Now you should be able to use apps like 'Cache Cleaner NG', 'Root Explorer', 'SetCPU' etc that require root access to work correctly.
Enjoy
Guide reflash FW for those who did some damage:
* Download from here that you want to install the FW
* Copy the folder in the microSD DLOAD (with the file inside UPADATE.APP)
* From phone off, Volume + Hold down RED BUTTON UP and power button.
* start the firmware upgrade, take a few minutes and then restart the phone . is a bit slow, do not be afraid, let him work and then back on (like the first time)
Help to get into recovery mode:
* down the 'volume up 'and 'green button'and then switch the device
Guide to bootloader mode:
* switch off, press and hold power button + volume down + red key

Yes it can, to a Maximum of 600mhz (0.6 ghz) on the stock kernel
setCPU is no longer available on the market for free afaik.
Also can someone better translate the instructions to get into recovery mode? i can barely make sense of the above instructions ^^^

Helped, Thanks.
Although after reading the entire page, i wonder if i should have a Recovery ROM installed. But i wonder if the phone will be left in it's current working state after installing it ?
i used z4root, worked fine for me

I think only "su" should be 4755 (setuid root), busybox and sqlite3 should just be 0755? Thanks for the instructions.

Anyone know this part for windows XP?Not linux?
I got to rageagainstthecage and it says permission denied.
fvckyougooglescammer said:
So would you tell us, exactly how you did it?
Without using the market place?
Because I have tried 100 things downloaded all that junk wasted 5 hours.
And I do not know how to run the z4root on my phone.
I do not want to install another ROM.
I do not know why you can not run z4root and a file manager from the SD card I have tried methods with the SDK they are total rubbish.
Once again *without* using the market place.
Thanks

could you explain why you prefer this way instead using z4root?

I have Z4root on the phone and its supposedly rooted.
Yet, I can install apps from PC onto phone, but can not uninstall them.
Adb always gives me failure.
And if I try from shell it always says permission denied.

Hi thanks downloaded it fine its on the phone but this doesn't tell me how to remove apps.
I have been able to install but not remove adb always says failure.
Thanks man,
Just worked perfectly on my IDEOS brought from 2degrees in NZ.
The copy of SuperOneClick that I downloaded contained a file called su-v2 instead of su. In order to get the hack to work I had to rename su-v2 to su before running ./rageagainstthecage . Pretty obvious, but it might help someone out.
Thanks

I followed your instructions and installed SetCPU to test my phone was rooted. It worked great! Thanks.
I still have a problem. When I try adb root it still says "adbd cannot run as root in production builds". I'm trying this to be able to control my phone with pc mouse/keyboard with androidscreencast.
Any suggestions will be much appreciated.
Answering to myself: I updated my phone with FUSIONideos 1.5 and now adb runs as root without problems.

Does it removes simlock I have Huawei U8150 IDEOS Android phone with career lock ( Simlock ), so will this remove it
can there be a batch file / command / app for all this, too techy out there
also how to setup the environment to run these commands, i m windows user can i do it ?
My Xoom is rooted and running tiamat 1.41.
I'm trying to push a file onto the xoom and having trouble with it.
I have the Android SDK installed.
When I type ADB DEVICES, it shows my xoom listed as a long string of letters and numbers.
I figured out I could get into the shell by using ADB -s ###### shell (where #### is the numbers/letters shown as the device).
If I type remount, i get permission denied.
If I try to push a file onto the Xoom, I get permission denied.
What am I missing here and how do I mount the Xoom so that I can push files onto the it?
Anyone know where the libflashplayer.so goes? I have the official flash installed and don't see it in /system/lib
you have to cd into the directory where adb is. most people put it right on the root of there C drive so in terminal type "cd c:\android-sdk-windows\platform-tools" without quotes then type "adb remount" and you should be mounted
if you need more help with adb check out this guide http://androidsamurai.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=12&t=4&sid=b8c229b771793d03bb84efbcf562e55b
I have tools and platform-tools directories in my PATH so I can run them from any directory. Even running it from the directory containing the executable fails with 'remount failed - operation not permitted'
you could try uninstalling and reinstalling android sdk

You're not in insecure mode. I thought flashing that kernel would put you into insecure mode? Maybe you need to reflash?
If you still actually have a working su binary, copy the file somewhere writeable, then su to root, then copy it from there again to the location.
C:\Users\HieAnh>adb root
restarting adbd as root
C:\Users\HieAnh>adb remount
Not running as root. Try "adb root" first.

The ADB driver does not care at all whether phone's Android is rooted or not. As you correctly stated one have to run adb root for ADB to gain root access device's Android.
I don't want to examine why adb root in your case doesn't work.
Anyways the following should be a workaround:
Code:
adb devices
adb shell "su -c 'mount -o remount,rw /system'"
...
