THanks to TEAMWIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
UPDATE to UPDATE- advanced users only that can understand my instructions please. I tried to make it newb friendly but this takes alot more time than I ever imagined ... (PROPS to ALL DEVS and POSTERS taking the time to share with us that which they spent hours testing!!!!)
so,
also download build.prop
place it in /data/bin
chown to root.root
chmod to 644
you only have to do this once, of course
Now reboot and run (updated and attached here at same time as the build.prop; so if you don't have the build.prop, you need to redownload daddy'stemproot.bat s it has been updated) daddy'stemproot.bat from wherever you downloaded it to.
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/7393616/build.prop
good luck!
UPDATE:
Just wanted to upload what I have been using since the original instructions are out of date.
have tested the following Windows script for 2 days without rebooting and retain full functionality on all root apps.
Instructions:
instead of doing copy/paste, once you have put fre3vo,su,busybox,and sqlite3 into /data/bin and set permisions/ownership, as per original instructions below,
if you have been using another script, just move everything to /data/bin and set permissions/ownership as per below;
and after every reboot, (or after doing the set-up for the first time users)
simply run this script:
(personally, after plugging my phone into my PC, and opening a command prompt, I always do "adb reboot"
then wait until the soft keys at bottom of screen light up (this means the phone is finishing all start up processes but for all extents and purposes the phone has booted) and then double click the file below. the command prompt will open and close itself, when closed, you are good to go until reboot)
Download and save this .bat to anywhere you want and run from anywhere you wish(mine is on my desktop for easy access):
LATEST VERSION Directly below:
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/7393616/daddy%27stemproot.bat
ORIGINAL Instructions:
Just wanted to give back so I will share how I have been getting functional su for on phone term apk and visible /data on root explorer and Superuser prompts for every root app (just because you allow at the prompt and Superuser allows an apk, doesn't mean it will alwasy work; if you open SetCpu more then once a boot it stops working. Bloatware Remover, though given root priveledges, doesn't work, I think becasue when trying to mount system, the apk uses the wrong partition in its script. etc.)
anyways
first get fre3vo, then the latest versions of su, busybox, sqlite3.
via shell from PC:
cd (directory where your 4 files are located)
push above files to /data/local/tmp (follow instructions in other threads)
get temp root via fre3vo
now with temp root do :
adb remount
adb shell mount -oremount,suid /dev/block/mmcblk0p23 /data
adb shell mkdir /data/bin
adb shell chown root.shell /data/bin
adb shell chmod 755 /data/bin
adb push (all 4 files, one at a time, to /data/bin)
adb shell chown root.shell /data/bin/su
adb shell chown root.shell /data/bin/busybox
adb shell chown root.shell /data/bin/sqlite3
adb shell chmod 6555 /data/bin/su
adb shell chmod 4555 /data/bin/busybox
adb shell chmod 755 /data/bin/sqlite3
adb shell chmod 755 /data/bin/fre3vo
now, set up is done, you don't have to do any of that again (unless you mesed up of course)
copy and paste the following lines into shell on PC and viola!
adb shell /data/bin/fre3vo
adb wait-for-device
adb remount
adb shell mount -o remount,suid /dev/block/mmcblk0p23 /data
adb shell ln -s /data/bin/su /system/xbin/su
adb shell ln -s /system/xbin/su /system/bin/su
adb shell ln -s /data/bin/busybox /system/xbin/busybox
adb shell ln -s /data/bin/sqlite /system/xbin/sqlite
adb shell mkdir /system/xbin/bb
adb shell /data/bin/busybox install /system/xbin/busybox /system/xbin/bb/
adb shell sync
So, everytime you reboot,
open a shell on your PC and copy and paste, and then you are free to live with root, until you reboot, and of course with limitations; but I personally can live with this until Fre3dom is complete.
Take your time boys(TEAMWIN) we love you!!!!
hope this helps somebody. I don't have much bandwith to check back to answer questions, but I am confident if any arise, that the community will step up as always. enjoy your root apps
Can somebody please explain to me what he means by latest version of su, busybox, and sqlite3? Apk or like files if anybody would be kind enough to post a zip file of all three?

Thanks Daddyroot ! the commands have really worked for me. Now I have a sensation with Temp root till I restart. All other scripts in the forum was not helping me.
Best solution I found so far. Not losing root till reboot anymore.
A++ would install again
Really glad to be able to give back to the community.
I wish I had more time when I posted this to check back and reply but I'm a single parent and time is short. After playing for a couple hours and finally seeing and being able to edit the /data folder, I knew it would be with it to make the time if I could help just one person to not waste the time figuring out what I could share. Nothing quite like the feeling you get on an unrooted phone when you first see the superuser prompt to allow or deny!!!
Thank you all who hit the thanks button!
And God bless TEAMWIN and (insert your favorite dev here)!!!
I will try to check back at least once a day...

I used the directions from Jesus Freke to install the Mod RC30 on my G1.
Then I read and used the instructions provided by Stericson to change my password....
Only one problem! Now it won't let me access root with su or with my password. I wanted to use something generic first and if it was successful I would change it to a good password. So, I used my user name "shaneaus"
Now I get permission denied with both su and shaneaus!
Am I totally screwed? Is there some way to reset the password back to su. That wouldn't make sense, I know, from a security sense. Just hoping.
Thanks
I'm hoping that there is an easier solution.
But, if I flash the update... Will that reset the root password?
I don't know what happened but this can be remedied. First off, it is possible that when you change the superuser command you failed to chmod it to 4755...at any rate, you can solve this by plugging your phone into your computer and starting up an adb shell, this should give you root if you have the modded rc30. Next remount /system to read and write privileges
mount -o remount,rw /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system
now type:
cd /system/bin
ls
Do you see su or your username listed?
If so type:
chmod 4755 (type su or your username here, without parantheses)
now open terminal emulator on your phone and try your superuser command again.
If you did not see su or your username in the output of ls type the following to get a setuid shell:
cat sh > (username or su whichever you want)
chmod 4755 (username or su whichever you want)
now open terminal emulator on your phone and try your superuser command again.
That should get you going.
Ha!
I'm just beginning to learn how to do this stuff. I have no idea how to "start up an adb shell" or even what an adb shell is!
So, I guess I'll start researching on line!
Ok, so I've read up on the adb shell and think I have a grip on how to use it... Except I can't figure out how to get the darn thing started. Do I have to open up the emulator? I thought I would be accessing the device - not the emulator. But, most sites talk about using the adb with the emulator. Also, I have seen where I should be able to run adb devices.exe and have it show my device to confirm it is connected. Only one problem, I can't find the adb devices.exe in the sdk kit.
Oh, and thanks again to Jesus Freke for the 64bit USB drivers. worked like a charm!
Awesome! Y'all are fantastic! I learned a lot tonight! I did the following:
Add $SDK_ROOT\tools to my path
Then had a hell of a time because everything I was reading (except for one location I finally found said to run "adb shell.exe"
I finally found a site that said to run "adb.exe shell"
And, whalla! I was in.
Your above advise was spot on, Stericson! Thank you!
Glad to hear you got it sorted.

Disclaimer: This is not one-click. However, it IS relatively short and straightforward, and does not require you to downgrade.
Credits: The 743C exploit, and ChainsDD for Superuser.
You need:
Android SDK installed and working.
The zip attached to this post.
If you're still on Cupcake (Android 1.5) you'll need su and Superuser from http://bit.ly/su2361cd
So, let's get down to business.
Unzip the attached file into your /android-sdk/tools/ directory, it'll make your life (and ours) easier.
Open up your command line, change to the SDK tools directory, and enter these commands:
Code:
adb push rageagainstthecage-arm5.bin /data/local/tmp
adb shell chmod 755 /data/local/tmp/rageagainstthecage-arm5.bin
Now execute the exploit:
Code:
adb shell
/data/local/tmp/rageagainstthecage-arm5.bin
Wait for the exploit to finish.
Code:
exit
If it doesn't exit cleanly, chances are it worked, just close your terminal or command prompt and open a new one.
Test that it worked:
Code:
adb kill-server
adb start-server
adb shell
If you see a $, it DID NOT work, execute the exploit again. (Step 3)
If you see a #, it WORKED, continue:
Code:
mount -o remount,rw -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system
exit
adb push su /system/xbin
adb shell chmod 4755 /system/xbin/su
adb install Superuser.apk
You may need to ctrl-c once it says Success!
Next time you 'su' in adb shell, make sure to click Allow in Superuser!
You may instead install Superuser from the Market if you wish.
Clean up the exploit:
Code:
adb shell rm /data/local/tmp/rageagainstthecage-arm5.bin
If you ever do a "Factory Reset", Superuser will go away, but you DO NOT lose root. Just reinstall Superuser.
What next? The choice is yours! Remove stock apps, get some good 'ol WiFi tethering, or flash something different!
*NOTE*
The above steps DO NOT put a recovery on your phone, though it is VERY EASY.
Once you're rooted, install ROM Manager by Koushik Dutta from the Market. Open it up, click "Flash ClockworkMod Recovery".
Select your model (Hero CDMA), and hit Allow when the Superuser Prompt shows up.
*NOTE*
The above steps DO NOT install Busybox on your phone.
Simply install Busybox from Stephen (Stericson), available on the market.
Start the app and click Allow when prompted by Superuser.
How To Uninstall
Code:
adb shell
su
mount -o remount,rw -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system
rm /system/xbin/su
rm /etc/passwd
rm /etc/group
Uninstall Superuser.apk then reboot, and you're set!

Pretty straightforward. This will probably help a lot of newer hero owners, because amazingly, people are still buying them every day!
If I get a chance to test it out, I will.
Nice job. Should be stickied so people don't run around searching through all the old rooting threads which aren't as compatible with the newer RUU versions.
Worked nicely on a refurb Hero that Sprint sent due to the dust problem.
Thanks!
Works great for me
Why am I having trouble doing this? I was able to do it on one Hero though not after many retries, but not on another.

Great! I can't live without WiFi tethering my iPad which is why I haven't done the 2.31.651.7 HTC OTA update at all.
So, I take it that this exploit will root the Official RUU_Hero_C_Sprint_2.31.651.7_signed_release.exe file then too? I ask because I really don't like to do 'update patches'. I prefer to flash and start fresh so I'm planning on flashing the RUU and then doing this root exploit. Yes, No???

Because when I saw this post, I tried to download the latest OTA patch, but my phone just responds 'Your phone is up to date. There are no updates available for your phone'. Strange, because I'm on 2.27.651.6 and the OTAcerts.ZIP is in tact.
Oh well, FEAR NOT, because after I get back from the store this morning, then get the TV tuned to the split screen with football on one and the baseball playoffs on the other, and get Leo Laporte's TechGuy radio show screaming...it'll be the perfect time to flash my phone to factory fresh.
Thanks.
Works perfectly on latest and "greatest" stock ROM... excellent

One reason is that when I tried to download the latest OTA update today, I could not. And another reason is before I RUU'd, I had less than 50MB of available memory, but now I have 96MB available with all of my programs loaded again. So for me, it just seems more and more that Android (or HTC Sense) is like Windows boxes since it seems I have to reload the Android OS every now and then to clean things out.

Well, if you're using Sprint's official stock .5 rom, with no tweaks applied, you gain the advantage of having an up-to-date rom with the latest bugfixes from Sprint, plus I would say my root method is less invasive and more transparent than other root methods. My personal opinion is that it feels like a root method that can't be abused easily.

Oh really? Cool. So far all I've used is one-click root for the Samsung Epic.... is this similar? I'll check it out, thanks!
Has anyone tried using SuperOneClick yet?? I will probably try in a bit and post back with my results..
Ok... well I didn't try SuperOneClick, but I did root it via the rageagainstthecage exploit...
Want to help me do the exploit on my SK4G to root it man ?
Give me instructions ?!
I got it working on mine too. The basic steps were
1) enable debug USB mode on your phone
2) install Samsung drivers for the phone - right now Samsung's site seems to not have a choice for the Sidekick 4G's model (SGH-T839), but I grabbed the drivers for the Vibrant (at www .samsung.com/us/support/downloads/SGH-T959ZKDTMB) and they worked.
3) get adb shell working on your PC (Google it)
4) download the rageagainstthecage-arm5.bin and Superuser packages from the links in this page: wiki.cyanogenmod.com/index.php?title=HTC_Hero_%28CDMA%29:_Full_Update_Guide (be sure to unzip the files into the directory where your adb.exe program is unless you've put it in your path)
5) reboot your phone and plug it in
6) adb push rageagainstthecage-arm5.bin /data/local/tmp
7) adb shell
8) cd /data/local/tmp
9) chmod 755 rageagainstthecage-arm5.bin
10) ./rageagainstthecage-arm5.bin
11) wait until you get booted back out to your DOS command prompt
12) adb kill-server
13) adb start-server
14) adb shell
15) you should now be at a # prompt. The first few times I tried, I wasn't - I was at $. Doing this from a fresh boot seemed to be the trick. Reboot your phone and try again if you're getting a $.
16) mount -o remount,rw /dev/block/stl9 /system
17) exit
18) adb push su /system/xbin
19) adb shell chmod 4755 /system/xbin/su
20) adb push Superuser.apk /system/app
21) adb shell mount -o remount,ro /dev/block/stl9 /system
22) exit
23) reboot the phone then run an app that requests root, such as Root Explorer, to verify
(p.s. sorry for having to mangle the URL's above, XDA won't let me include links since I haven't posted 8 times yet)

Just to note, on step 16 and 21... it is /dev/block/stl9 rather than st19
Also, after step 20, I had to run the following commands for the superuser application to grant root privledges to applications..
adb shell echo "root::0:0:root:/data/local:/system/bin/sh" > /etc/passwd
adb shell echo "root::0:" > /etc/group
Awesome to see it being rooted so fast.
I'm really interesting in getting this phone but I'm not in the US. Does anyone know if the phone will work outside US?

Dang, good catch, thanks. That's what I get for not copying and pasting from my terminal window...stupid, since I was just chastising two people at work for making the same mistake yesterday. I've edited the original post to prevent problems for people who might start before reading the entire thread.
Interesting about having to create a passwd and group file...I've only run a few root apps so far, but they've worked without me doing this. I wonder if it's app-specific.
Now to start removing some of the damn bloatware this thing comes with!
19) adb shell chmod 4755 /system/xbin/su
i get stuck on there it says unable to chmod no such file or directory . there's SU in my android-sdk/tools
i'm so glad this thing got rooted. i used to be a scene kid with a kick. i dont have this phone, i doubt i'm going to get this phone considering the sensation is droppin soon.... but for nostalgia purposes, i'm glad it got rooted. now you can really hack it!!!
not like the old ones!!

Double-check your step 18...that's the step that copies the su file from your computer onto the phone. I forget the exact output format, but it shows you a Kb/second number of how fast the file transfer went when it finishes successfully.

I'm not brave enough to try putting the ClockworkMod for one of the Samsung devices on the list onto mine, for fear of bricking it. Don't know enough about that works as far as hardware differences go.
I have removed the APK's listed below from /system/app with no apparent ill-effects. Not that YOU should remove them necessarily - just that they're things I don't have a need for:
AccountAndSync.apk
AmazonMp3.apk
AppPack.apk
DriveSmart.apk
DriveSmartHelper.apk
install_flash_player.apk
LiveWallpapers.apk
LiveWallpapersPicker.apk
Memo.apk
MiniDiary.apk
MobileBackup.apk
MyFiles.apk
PhoneSetupWizard.apk
Twitter-2.0.1-121.apk
vvm-signed.apk
Though there must be something I don't fully understand, because even after a reboot, Amazon MP3 and AppPack are still on my phone, and they still work.
FYI, don't remove Settings.apk - I got stuck in a loop where the launcher kept crashing then reloading itself (thank goodness I was able to put it back in place with adb).
Can anyone tell me if Setcpu works for them?

Appears to work fine.. no crashes although the Max Hz is 1000. U can still raise the Min Hz.
Sent from my Nexus S using XDA App
Can someone post a full:
ls of / and /dev/block and /efs
Thanks
Will this phone get a proper sub-forum on xda?
i tried a few ways to root my atrix 2 but i cant. I tried super one click, lazy one click (or however its called) and i cant root it i have a mac someone help! is there another way to root the atrix 2?
I heard there was an app that can do it too. Its in this forum somewhere.
I used the manual method on my Mac with no issues, did it twice actually.
What error messages are you getting?
I'll be home in about 15 mins and I can help further

If all else fails, you could always reflash the fkz's, than try to root again, but the problem here is that you have a mac. Perhaps borrow a friends pc, or install Windows through bootcamp. (I wouldn't recommend a Virtual Machine though).
OK so if you used a root tool in the first place then I assume that-
-You have adb set up
-You have the necessary files to push (zerg, su, superuser.apk)
If you have no idea of what I'm talking about then just look around the folders of the root tools and you'll find them.
OK, here's what you have to do:
1. Open up a terminal.
2. CD (change directory) to where you have the necessary files located, ex. "cd ~/Desktop/" if they're on the desktop
3. Enter the following commands (one line at a time):
Code:
adb shell
cd /data/local
rm ./temp/*
exit
This removes temporary files created by the root exploit.
4. Now enter these commands (again, one at a time)
Code:
adb push zerg /data/local
adb push su /data/local
adb push Superuser.apk /data/local
adb shell
cd /data/local
chmod 777 zerg
./zerg
adb shell
mount -o rw,remount /dev/null /system
cat /data/local/su > /system/bin/su
cat /data/local/Superuser.apk > /system/app/Superuser.apk
chmod 4755 /system/bin/su
chmod 4755 /system/app/Superuser.apk
reboot
I hope you understand this... good luck getting complete root.
thread moved to general forum
If you find a specific android app that can do this for you and you can post it in the OP, I will gladly move it down to its original location. Until there, it doesnt belong in the app and themes forums.
What's your android version ?

Unfortunately that app seems to have only been in the market and was recently removed... I tried looking for it today. Please correct me if I'm wrong!

You're correct, the app was written by an author who made it just to make money... he never even tested it. He took it down because it didn't work.
Most important question of all here: What OS are you running on your Mac?
If you're running 2.3.6 you can't root yet. You need to downgrade to 2.3.5
Update: Friday November 2nd 2012
Fixed a bad upload of the su file, must of become corrupt sorry.
Silly permission bug again, but w/e. LG should know better, from what I am told this is a recently released device. This is a long standing known issue. Lg get your sh*t together.
Directions:
unzip su.zip into the current path (directory) you are in.
adb shell
(while in adb shell)
rm /data/local/tmp/profile_calib_m
ln -s /data/local.prop /data/local/tmp/profile_calib_m
exit
adb reboot
adb wait-for-device shell
(once in the adb shell again)
echo 'ro.kernel.qemu=1' > /data/local.prop
rm /data/local/tmp/profile_calib_m
exit
adb reboot
adb wait-for-device remount
adb push su /system/xbin/su
adb shell chown 0.0 /system/xbin/su
adb shell chmod 6755 /system/xbin/su
adb shell rm /data/local.prop
adb reboot
Once rebooted install superuser from the market:

As usual thanks for all your work for this GREAT community!!! :good:
Thanks for letting me watch you work & getting root for my wife's phone.
Edit: DroidHost of Androidarea51.com has made a OneClick for this phone using Jcase's root. it also installs a recovery & Superuser all at the same time.

run adb shell
make sure your prompt is a # not a $. If it is a $ start over, if it is a # make sure you run adb remount.

No problem.
You actually left out a step. In order to push su to the phone you have to adb remount -o rw. Otherwise it is a read-only filesystem and it cannot be pushed to the phone. Most people would probably get this, but the novices who end up with bricked phones will be angry.
Great work!

Actually no, you are incorrect.
adb remount without the additional parameters is correct, and not possible of bricking a phone with adb remount. No novice would be angry, because there is not possible brick from this guide, as long as it is followed.
I got the LG for my daughter (13 going on 30), and now it works fine. Thanks jcase.
Did not unlock my lgl35g
Yes I am a Noob... nobody likes me
I have exhausted every resource that I could find on this phone. I thought that this post was the answer to my problem, however it did not seem to help at all. Everything seemed as if it was working fine as I went step by step through the process. However, I rebooted my phone and there is no difference then when I started. The "su.zip" file enclosed in this post was not able to extract into the directory of my ADB client. It kept saying root already existed, but I was unable to see it in windows explorer? Is this "su.zip" a modified version of a pre-existing file in the SDK kit? I really need to unlock this phone so that I can clean up the junk. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

What is weird about that is i put the sim in a iphone and it worked just fine!!! Best bet would be ebay for unlock...
I have the Net10 one that I put a Straight Talk SIM in with no problems if I can get my hands on a AT&T SIM today I'll check it out.

Did you push the su binary file or the whole folder? If you pushed the whole folder you will have to remove the directory & start over.

Anyone know of a rooted ROM
I have looked all over, but it doesn't look like a dev has created a ROM for this device. Has anyone come across one? If I knew programming I would give it a shot, but it's a mystery to me. I know that CyanogenMod 9 for the L3 (e400) works, but there is a problem with the radios, hence no cellular, wifi, or bluetooth.

This guy had some success with CM9, but no radio. Anyone know how to extract the radio? I've never built a rom, but this is tempting.
