Is it possible to do a full backup with Titanium using Tacoroot or another temproot? - HTC Desire S

Hi,
I have a Desire S with hboot 2.00.002 unrooted. I was hoping to perform a full backup of all apps (system included) before I attempt to downgrade my hboot to root and s-off.
Is it possible to temproot using tacoroot and then run Titanium to perform a full backup? I have tried, however each time I run Titanium it says that the phone is not rooted.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
Sam

you tried it before? well, maybe it wont work. just full root your DS

Thanks for the reply.
From what I understand I cant full root without downgrading my hboot version from 2.00.002 to .98, and in order to downgrade I will need to flash RUU which will cause me to lose my data. In order to prevent me from losing my data, I wanted to backup before attempting a full root.
Please correct me if you do not agree with the above.
Cheers,
Sam

You can't run Titanium under shell temp-root, because Titanium doesn't run in the shell. You need "real" temp-root, something that will install Superuser app and su binary in /system and set correct permissions - even if both will be gone upon reboot. If you can't do it manually - you can probably achieve by SuperOneClick.

Thanks for the response.
I tried using SuperOneClick and it didnt work. Looks like I need to unlock my bootloader first and I dont think I can do that without wiping my data.
Any other ideas?
Cheers,

If you could actually achieve temp-root by any method - you could do it manually. Nothing complicated.
You could try to use ZergRush. Just go over the available rooting tools known to work on Gingerbread, it'll save you the time to wait for responses.

You can use ADB to back things up.
See this thread for a nice tool for doing it:

Hi Sam,
It may be too late for you if you've already downgraded your hboot, but it could be useful for others. It is indeed possible to perform a full backup with only a temproot. I tried to explain in detail how here.
Simply said, one of the directories where titanium backup looks for the su binary is /data/bin. As this directory is not write protected with a S-ON hboot, you can install the su binary there once temprooted. The trick is to remount /data without the nosuid option in order to be able to become root when executing /data/bin/su. It appears that zergRush remounts /data without the nosuid option. For other exploits, it may be necessary to remount it yourself once the root access is granted.

Untouched stock froyo 2.2 Asia OTA ROM

This is an incremental rom for ASIA HTC aria, do not install it for another models!
http://rapidshare.com/files/4381358...hTC_Asia_TW_2.37.709.4-1.35.709.3_release.zip
just updated my wife's aria to froyo. lost all the custom recovery stuff but still.
Here is the official OTA zip from the phone.
you can flash it in clockwork recovery by toggling the signature setting (you will lose clockwork though, you have been warned)
also do anyone know how to get rid of the superuser 'ninja' icon once you flashed this?
enjoy
looks like I need root permission to remove that superuser thing, should have done that before upgrading...
If this contains the new hboot, I highly recommend not flashing it.
Edit: it does - do NOT flash this if you ever want root.
Bad idea.

yes its un-modified from HTC. will just have to wait for a new root
one thing I dont quite get is how come this rom is so small (80MB) compare to all the other roms
Is it an incremental update or a full rom?
can anyone shed some light?

Well until a new method is developed, it's beyond foolish to flash this incremental update over a rom it was never intended for.

Yes, it's an incremental update to the Hong Kong ROM that should not be flashed over any other rom.
As OP, you can edit this thread with a warning - please. This is not a complete rom, and because it was not intended for the AT&T ROM or any other than the HK ROM, some of the patches may not be executed correctly. If you start to experience some funkiness, I can probably get your phone flashed to the Gratia leak ROM, but as of now there is no going back to stock.

if you have the HK phone, with a goldcard you could probably flash your original shipping RUU. It's on shipped-roms.com.
That should return the phone to stock, without superuser icons. Let me know what HBOOT you have on it at that point. In any event, after that you should be able to flash the ota again after that, going to a stock 2.2 HK setup. You won't have root, and you won't be able to do custom recovery.
Please let me know if you can downgrade that phone with the this RUU and a goldcard. You will need root access, so if SU does not work anymore, then you will need to use Visionary for temp root.

BlaY0 said:
Here are few easy steps on how to make Goldcard without taking it out of your phone but you have to be root (VISIONary temproot is fine).
You will be doing this from command prompt:
Code:
adb shell
su
First you need to find out sdcard's CID:
Code:
cat /sys/class/mmc_host/mmc0/mmc0:*/cid
...copy it into text box on http://hexrev.soaa.me/. Now go to http://psas.revskills.de/?q=goldcard and put in the reversed CID you have got on previous web page. Push goldcard.img to your phone via 2nd command prompt:
Code:
adb push goldcard.img /data/local/
...unmount sdcard via Settings, go back to 1st command prompt and make a backup then make goldcard:
Code:
dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0 count=1 of=/data/local/sdcard_backup.img
cat /data/local/goldcard.img > /dev/block/mmcblk0
sync
exit
You may also pull that backup to your PC:
Code:
adb pull /data/local/sdcard_backup.img .

Yes, that should work. The long way may provide you with a full downgrade/root path.
someone in the forum I visit reported that he used Visionary to gain temp root, then downgraded the phone (by modifying misc partition, I guess) and installed 2.1 RUU. But HBOOT didn't be downgraded. Its version is still 1.0, can't be rooted.

you have to be rooted to have su and the popup working... And I'm pretty sure you just de-rooted the phone, and installed an hboot that no one knows how to root yet.
Hopefully no one else does the same.

[Q] s-off no root

Ok I used bubby's simple one click root I got s-off but my phone didn't take the root any help would be greatly appreciated thank you
check in your app folder if you have super user you are in fact rooted....if for some reason it was not installed go into a terminal emulator and type in "su" and you should get a superuser request and that would confirm you are rooted if it works...
Do you have clockwork recovery?

If you have s-Off then you can try re-flashing the rooted stock PD98IMG.zip from bubby's package. It's extracted into a temp dir on your computer when you run bubbys tool.
I'd guess it gets deleted once you close bubbys tool, as its only extracted temporarily for use by the tool, so you may have to start up the tool to get it to extract it, then find it before closing the tool again.
Once you find that PD98IMG.zip, put it on your SD card and reflash it that way.
Yeah I have superuser but it fc's on me and I have clockwork it's got me stumped maybe I'll try and reroot it again

If you're S-OFF and you've got clockwork, then you're pretty much as rooted as you need to be. Just install a custom ROM of your choice through clockwork. Any of the popular ones from the DEV thread should be properly configured for su, etc.

This problem has been encountered before, I believe. I forget the specifics of the fix, I think it's in bubbys thread somewhere, but it has to do with clearing data/cache for the superuser app and/or redownloading superuser from the market.
Check the thread for the exact details. May even be in the FAQ for bubbys tool (linked in post #1 of that thread).

[Q] a noob question (about root,framework)

Hello.Some of you may remember me from htc diamond thread.I was an old user of that phone,then i went to iphone and now i'm testing android (and i'm very pleased until now)...
Now,my question,I bought htc desire S,downloaded Andexplorer and i copied framework-res.apk from system/framework to sd card,then to pc and i put my icons for battery percentage.Now i try to copy it back to system/framework and a message pop-ups and says "cannot paste framework-res.apk from clipboard"...do i have to unlock my root or something?
ps: i've searched but didn't find anything helpful
thanks in advance
You can use root explorer and click on the R/W icon
If no you can push the files with android sdk doing before
adb remount
adb push file /system/framework
i used root explorer and a message told me that i have to root my phone :/
i have downloaded android sdk,but i don't think it will allow me to paste framework-res.apk if i haven't rooted my phone first
I dont think you can change framework at all if you dont root
yeah i know.I'm trying to find an easy way to root my phone
give us some info about phone...what is hboot version,radio etc etc...then we can find way to help u

[Q] Backup & Unlocking

Sorry for posting a new thread, I searched for about an hour, to no true avail. So, I haven't unlocked my Nexus S 4G yet, but I have made a lot of changes to it. A lot of changes I would rather not lose. So, basically I want to backup, than unlock. Big problem though is that MyBackup needs pro version to store online, and titanium backup needs root (and I'm not unlocked yet)! So basically I was wondering if this process would work:
-Root (no flash to SU)
-Backup using titanium backup
-Flash to SU
-Restore
tl;dr:
1.) Can you root without flashing to SU
2.) If you don't flash to SU, but still have root, can Titanium backup obtain root access?
3.)What are the commands to manually root/where do you enter them?
4.)(A stupid question I know, but might as well ask it in this thread than another one) How do you restore using titanium backup after unlocking/do you need to apply any changes to apps you had installed, or does it just return them all back to their state pre-unlock?

You can try some of the "Gingerbreak" methods out there. They all rely on exploits to gain elevated privileges though so I would guess it's unlikely they will work. Outside of that No. You could try to purchase Mybackup Pro and restore or just forget about it.

Unroot question

I'm running 4.1.1 on my I9020A rooted. Stock Rom and Kernel. I searched the forums and the web, and every article I find gives instructions on going back to 2.3.X, THEN removing root. I don't want to go back, in fact I only want to un-root shortly, then go back to a rooted phone.
So my question is, Can I go through the locking steps of un-rooting, but leave the current ROM (4.1.1) installed?

What he said. Unless you're returning your phone for warranty repair or you're worried about security (like me), there's no reason to lock your bootloader.

That's the one. Delete it, it's the app to manage the su rights. su in xbin/bin is the binary for SuperUser
Ok, so I attempted to unroot. I opened es file explorer (Which launched with SU rights) and I was able to delete com.noshufou.android.su-1.apk in data/app/.
Then when I tried to delete su in /xbin, I was denied. Tried deleting su in /bin as same results. Denied.
Any thoughts?
Just flash stock. Now unrooted. To go back flash CWM and SU. This sounds a lot easier if oldblue's suggestion isn't working for you.
Use this for step by step.
