Here's how to do it manually without CASUAL. All credits to Adam.
From a computer with adb on a rooted device:
Code:
adb push aboot.img /sdcard/aboot.img
adb shell
su
dd if=/sdcard/aboot.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p5
Verify you got a good flash:
Code:
dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p5 of=/sdcard/abootTEST.img
Now, check the MD5 of abootTEST.img BEFORE you turn your phone off. If it is wrong, reflash again until it is correct. It should be the same as the original aboot.img you already checked the MD5 of.
Also can be done via downloading the attachment, putting at root of /sdcard/ and doing these commands in terminal on a rooted device:
Code:
su
dd if=/sdcard/aboot.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p5
Verify you got a good flash:
Code:
dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p5 of=/sdcard/abootTEST.img
Now, check the MD5 of abootTEST.img BEFORE you turn your phone off. If it is wrong, reflash again until it is correct. It should be the same as the original aboot.img you already checked the MD5 of.
MD5 (aboot.img) = 0ba9ad45fc15cf3d62af7dd363686b3f

So who am I buying a beer or three for, do they wish to remain anonymous for the time being? Maybe I just missed the reference in the research thread.
Limitations on my newbie account are killing me.
Thanks for all the hard work everyone who was involved in the research, I enjoyed following the process over the last few weeks!

I'd look in the bounty thread. I think the info of who gets the bounty will be posted in there.

Congrats to Everyone Involved. Very big achievement.

Thank you to all the people that made this happen!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

im on synergy..do i have to be stock to do this?

Nice,,,I won't get to excited,until its implemented for the end ROM user.

Works for CM10 from Linux

Verizon, when the f*ck will you learn that you will never win? This is such good news!

Sweet, I am in the process of ordering 3 S3's.

[GUIDE] How to PermaRoot your Desire HD

I have just complied this Step-by-Step guide on how to root your Desire HD.
I by no means created the root, I simply used my own and others knowledge to put this guide together to help everyone.
Hopefully this is more of a beginners guide so we can ease new Android users into a bit of coding rather than relying on Apps to do the work

There was a lot of people asking how to do it since they couldn't figure it out from adwinp's post and any advice was getting lost in the thread.
I just put my own work into a new thread so it was easy for people to find
And this method avoids terminal or adb so is a bit more beginner friendly I was going to wait for the visionary update tomorrow but now thanks to evostance's guide I have permaroot on the day it was found/exploited/invented.

I don't know if VISIONary will just be able to root one Kernel Version, or if it will be able to modify the wpx.ko file depending on your Kernel Version.

Excellent guide
Before I permanently root my DHD I want to know who would I UNROOT if needed (just in case if I want to send it off for repair)?

This is a great guide thank you for taking your time to simply it.
I got to the step where I have to run wpx from the Gscript home screen and when I do run it I do not get the function error, all I get is a blue screen with the option to close it, Any idea what this means?
Thanks.

Are we supposed to have run VISIONary before we run the scripts? The guide PDF doesn't say to run it until after, but the original forum topic says run it before... because I'm getting that blue screen that does nothing.
Edit: Okay I got it, maybe prefix the part about running the Gscrips with "Open VISIONary, tick "Run on Boot" and then click "Root Now!" before you continue to running the GScript actions.
You need sudo access before running GScripts.
I have longed for this day for 8 days now
Thank you so much.
Does this mean we can now push/pull to /system/app?

New to all this.

I have a SGS3 at home in the mail. I want to try rooting or whatever, do I have to root first or can I download the app that unlocks the bootloader and do that first? Can someone give a noob some advice and what steps I need to do? What does unlocking the bootloader do anyways?

you root, unlock bootloader, install recovery (Clockwork mod non-touch seems to always be preferred) - after that you can contemplate installing custom roms, but I think installing recovery is just a good thing to do regardless.

djrbliss releases AT&T S4 bootloader vuln.

I was wondering now that djrbliss has released the vulnerability for AT&T SGS4 do we have to wait for devs to do something with it? For Loki tools it seems as if you have to have a recovery already made. Will a current one work?
https://github.com/djrbliss/loki
this seems more like a user made htc dev, not what true s-off "bootloader unlocked" would be. non the less it should work fine. this probably wont touch the write enabled protection on the device. the only issues i see is until we are truly unlocked we will always have that "samsung custom" on out bootscreens.

He released his source code and such so we need to have someone compile it into a .bat or .exe so we can flash a custom recovery/rom
its linux only, and devs need to use/make teh loki_patch.
someone could make a windows/android app to interface with loki_flash for end users though...

Everyone - if you don't know what to do with those files without asking, don't try it yourself. There's already one in process in the development thread, and there will be cleaner and simpler ones out within just a few hours, I'm sure - with complete instructions.
Until you can nandroid the phone, this is not something to screw around with

Exactly, I have one phone booting to recovery now, no issues. YET! better know what you are doing, or you will have a serious paperweight.
I re-booted out of successful, so will see.

Yes, everyone needs to keep the OTA .apk's frozen from now on. Or use a custom rom that doesn't have them.

[kill write protection] MotoWpNoMo

Introducing MotoWpNoMo. The purpose of this application is to disable the pesky write protection on BL-locked motorola devices. After successfully running this application, you will no longer need to boot recovery or use other methods to temporarily remove write protection. This exploit is permanent in the sense it will survive factory resets, reflashing the device, etc. However, like with any exploit, you should not expect it to survive OTA's or other updates. This application will work with many motorola devices, however I'm only posting it here to keep the files and feedback consolidated (plus, I'm lazy). THIS IS NOT A BOOTLOADER UNLOCK, IT ONLY REMOVES WRITE PROTECTION. Let's get started....
Credits and terms:
beaups and fuses for MotoWpNomo application. jcase for root and gunnyman and brianr134 for testing. MotoWpNomo MAY NOT BE REHOSTED, REPACKAGED, INTEGRATED INTO A ONE-CLICK, BAT, SHELL SCRIPT, OR ANY OTHER APPLICATION. THE ONLY PLACE TO ACQUIRE THIS APPLICATION SHALL BE RIGHT HERE, IN THIS THREAD. THIS IS NOT OPEN SOURCE, DON'T ASK!
Pre-requisites:
1.) Working root (su). Jcase's methods are fully supported here
2.) Working adb and fastboot drivers. Yes, that means WORKING. Don't clutter this thread with driver issues
3.) Linux (32 bit) or windows
4.) Disable all firewalls/internet security/antivirus before running. This is the #1 issue encountered when running the application
Instructions:
Linux (preferred):
1.) download the application: motowpnomo
2.) extract the archive: tar -xf [filename]
3.) run the application: sudo ./wpbegone
4.) follow the on-screen prompts
Windows:
1.) download the application: motowpnomo
2.) extract the archive
3.) run wpbegone.exe as administrator
4.) follow the on-screen prompts
After the application is complete, you can verify with:
adb shell getprop ro.boot.write_protect
If you see "0", that pesky write protection is gone
Donations are appreciated and can be made to (paypal): [email protected]
support is available in #MotoWpNoMo on the freenode and andirc networks.
Wow... Sounds great.
So... What part of the phone is changed? How do you revert to stock?
Thanks!

If you are running this on a Mac in a VM, each time the phone reboots and the program is waiting for adb, unplug the phone and plug it back in once the phone is started up again or else the process will fail.
Sounds great but is there no way to get back to write-protected other then OTA? Will flashing the FXZ restore it?

Bricked my phone using Low Effort Root Method

Good Afternoon,
I'm not sure what I did incorrectly but I am stuck at the screen with the Android belly open when trying to boot after using the Low Effort Method. I tried doing a factory restore and got nowhere with it. I do not see a stock KDZ for the ATT variant, what can I do at this point? Am I SOL until a dump is released for stock ATT or should I take my chances and bring it to ATT.
I'm assuming flashing the KDZ for any other variant would be a giant no no at this point.
(update) I see i'll need to wait for a TOT or take my chances with ATT, still anyone with a suggestion I appreciate it.
Any help is appreciated.

Just to let yall know that i've already submitted an image of PR to thecubed so we can get root
Mine bricked also. Not sure what went wrong. It went through the process like everything worked, the phone rebooted and that was it.

The only issues that I have had is not being able to get my LTE working. Other than that it seems to be running better than it was.
So just a heads up, I took a system image(PR version) and injected root but after flashing the image back I ended up with a bricked device (screen doesn't turn on, device recognized as Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008. I'm almost certain I didn't mess up in terms of the commands I entered when in send command mode. Anyways, I'm going to see if I can either fix this or get it replaced.

Thanks for trying mate. I've been trying to find a Linux to do this myself. I guess there is more than to just follow the instruction of injection.

Check the second post on the root thread. H810PR seems to be partitioned differently (see below). I'm glad they posted this and I checked the thread this morning because I was almost screwed again. The devs had said that the partition info was easy to view so we could figure it out for ourselves, but all the one click rooting has made me a lazy rooter.
H810PR
dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0 bs=8192 skip=55296 count=529920 of=/data/media/0/system.img
H810
dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0 bs=8192 skip=65536 count=579584 of=/data/media/0/system.img
Sorry for your loss!
Good news is that the warranty phone I got was a pristine H81010b. Hopefully you'll get the same. I made an image of it and now have dev upload on androidfilehost.com.
I'm posting unrooted images of H81010b, H81010e, and a hopefully properly extracted H810PR10a-310-410 now. If I have time today I'll give root injection another shot and upload the rooted files too.

Check the second post on the root thread. H810PR seems to be partitioned differently. I'm glad they posted this and I checked the thread this morning because I was almost screwed again.
H810PR
dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0 bs=8192 skip=55296 count=529920 of=/data/media/0/system.img
H810
dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0 bs=8192 skip=65536 count=579584 of=/data/media/0/system.img

I actually did see that and used the command they provided for getting the image and flashing it back. The inject script might have done something weird though because it failed at the umount command but i just ran that one command manually and figured everything would be okay but I guess it wasn't. I called ATT like 2 days ago before i flashed the PR kdz and they told me I can go to their device support store and that they would replace my device right there for me so hopefully that can still happen. I have an appointment at 5pm today

There's a new root injection thread here I'm going to try.
Let us know how it goes at with Device Support. I was told the one nearest me wouldn't have G4s yet.
Good luck!
Hopefully we can get these files tested by another sucker so you don't have to risk it!

I'm willing to test it out. I have a fully functioning h810pr and a backup phone in case my G4 toasted, it wont be a problem

Can you try this root injection instruction. It seem pretty well instructed. I dont have a Linux around to try

Well I don't have a working device right now to test on. I'm currently at work and need to stay on windows (all my IDEs are set up on windows). After work I'm going to head to the AT&T store to try and get my phone replaced. If no one was tried it by then I can. Also, it's not that hard to set up a bootable USB ubuntu drive (and is actually quite useful to have) so you could always do that.

No, I'm not stuck in the same mode I was before. I can't get into download mode. My screen stays black and I basically can't do anything (Which hopefully means ATT won't be able to see I had the PR firmware on there.)

I've read through ubuntu pendrive instruction and root injection instruction. Looks like i might be able to do it. I will give it a shot when i get off work tonight.
