[UPDATED]how to root 1.47.161.2 hboot 002 (and possibly others)

sorry about all the updates i am trying to remember as i go along with the help of the comments below, we will get this working as i know it does
i have actually managed it i used fre3vo from this thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1178912
but i combined the instructions with post 4 from the downgrade thread ( part where you have to chmod the version file then change the version.
first download http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=591335&d=1304969547
and also this
http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=661246&d=1311240968
extract them to the same folder then open a command prompt in that folder and follow these instructions pressing enter at the end of each step
(big thanks to Jorgen2009 for cleaning up the instructions)
Instructions:
1. adb push fre3vo /data/local/tmp
2. adb push misc_version /data/local/tmp
3. adb shell chmod 777 /data/local/tmp/fre3vo
4. adb shell chmod 777 /data/local/tmp/misc_version
5. reboot the phone with the cable attached to the computer
6. adb shell (this gives a $-prompt)
7. /data/local/tmp/fre3vo -debug -start FAA90000 -end FFFFFFFF (when everything is OK you'll go back to your own prompt, not the phones)
8. adb shell (you'll have a #-prompt now, cause the the is temp-rooted)
9. /data/local/tmp/misc_version -s 1.27.405.6
10. install the earliest RUU version you can find. I used RUU_Saga_HTC_Europe_1.28.401.1_Radio_20.28b.30.080 5U_38.03.02.11_M_release_177977_signed
11. after rebooting your phone has the old HBOOT (0.98.0000)
12. enable USB Debugging (Settings - Applications - Development) and reboot the phone again
13. Run the AlphaRevX binary and don't install the CWM recovery, we'll use 4EXTRecovery lateron
congratulations, your phone is now S-OFF!
download the latest EXT4Recovery from here
adb reboot bootloader
fastboot flash recovery [PATH TO recovery.img]
fastboot reboot-bootloader
go to the recovery and install any ROM you like
hope this helps everyone.

4. adb shell chmod 777 /data/local/tmp/misc_version
5. Run the binary via 'adb shell /data/local/tmp/fre3vo'
If all goes well, you'll be kicked back to your computer's command prompt.
run 'adb shell' and you should have a '#' prompt instead of $
6. cd /data/local/tmp
./misc_version -s 1.27.405.6
From here you can then install the update/downgrade from the ruu exe for your phone from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1002506
then you can just follow the alpharevx instructions as normal because you will be able to run gingerbreak etc, this works on the latest updates as i couldnt use gingerbreak to downgrade due to the vodafone uk update and i am now on a custom rom and s offed
hope this helps everyone.

All the same, Putting the bits together, writing the guide and having the balls to try all of these steps on your own device is worthy of thanks and just a little praise

thanks ben just glad to put something back instead of leeching all the devs hard work all the time

Thanx davidreece, great find!
Unfortunately it's not working for me I get stuck at point 5 running the fre3vo binary. I waited 20 minutes for it to complete, but it's still saying "please wait" with a blinking cursor. For the record, I'm using this rom: RUU_Saga_HTC_Europe_1.47.401.4_Radio_20.28I.30.085 AU_3805.06.02.03_M_release_199410_signed. That could be the problem perhaps.
I also noticed that the the fre3vo link from your article is a bit older then the fre3vo version on the fre3vo thread. Of course i tried that one too, but it gives the same result for me
Any ideas?
Cheers

not a clue jorgen sorry i should maybe add the words "some"
just a thought when you ran the fre3vo command where you in adb shell or at the command prompt >, i seem to remember it happened to me the first time i tried it but i cant remember how i got it wrong, ithink you have to enter the adb shell command first then enter /data/local/tmp/fre3vo next or it may be enter them both together as one line i cant really remember, i was so surprised it worked if anyone else gets this to work could you please clarify the fre3vo steps and i will update the main post thanks, hope this helps, also i only used the link version not any newer one

I tried both methods, both with the same result. It's great to see however it worked for you. It means there is at least a possibility to get S-OFF on updated devices

I am stuck on instructions step 5. it says unable to chmod -debug: No such file or directory. My Bootloader version is 0.98.0002. In my understanding instructions step 5 is confusing as first i wrote it with step 4 and then i realize that first write adb shell chmod 777 etc etc. Am i doing right?

Hello, you're right there appears to is a slight mistake above, from my understanding of this the commands they should be entered as I've shown below from your PC within a command shell window with a <RETURN> at the end of every line.
Code:
C:\Program Files\Microsoft Support Tools> [B]adb shell [/B]
$ [B]chmod 777 /data/local/tmp/fre3vo[/B]
$ [B]chmod 777 /data/local/tmp/misc_version[/B]
$ [B]/data/local/tmp/fre3vo -debug -start FAA90000 -end FFFFFFFF[/B]

Thanks for the reply but the thing is that am i doing the right way as i wrote in my last thread that first i mix 4th step and fifth but then i realize and did the same as in 4th step? If its right then offcourse i 'll ask someone in the original thread.

[Q] Rooting the motorola atrix 2

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
Sent from my MB865 using Tapatalk

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 ?

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

[ROOT] 1.85 - New, working method - ACT NOW, MAY NOT LAST FOREVER!

Silly HTC. THIS EXPLOIT MAY NOT LAST FOREVER. ATT COULD KILL THIS. DO IT NOW.
Warning: If something goes wrong, whatever you do, do NOT install the update that this process finds. If you DO, you will be stuck on 2.20 with no chance for root (currently)
What you need:
HOX on ATT 1.85
su binary from http://dl.dropbox.com/u/don'tusemeimabadsubinary
EDIT: The su binary above has issues. Use this one instead: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/9060692/su
Make sure HTC sync is NOT RUNNING (down in system tray)
Make sure phone is set to "charge only" and usb debugging is enabled!
Put su in same directory as ADB. Get to adb command prompt and cd into that directory
NEW - pull sim card
NEW - do factory reset
NEW - when reset is complete, do not replace sim, do NOT connect to wifi. Go through setup, go to settings, enable USB debugging. When that's done:
adb shell rm /data/data/com.redbend.vdmc/lib/libvd*
adb reboot
After the device reboots:
adb shell ln -s /data/local.prop /data/data/com.redbend.vdmc/lib/libvdmscomo.so
(If you get file doesn't exist after the FIRST command don't worry - they may not be there)
Now, on the phone, go to settings and check for software update. It will tell you you need to connect to network. Now, replace the SIM OR connect to wifi. Have it check for software update again. When it's done, do NOT click "yes" or "ok" on the phone. Simply:
adb shell ls -l /data/local.prop
IF AND ONLY IF you get "file not exists" or anything like that then set your phone's date 2 days ahead and reboot the phone and start over. If you get file info, you're golden. Proceed....
adb shell "echo 'ro.kernel.qemu=1' > /data/local.prop"
Now it's time to reboot
adb reboot
After phones reboots
adb remount
adb push su /system/xbin/su
adb shell chown 0.0 /system/xbin/su
adb shell chmod 06755 /system/xbin/su
adb shell rm /data/local.prop
adb reboot

SWEEEEEEEEEEET!
You have just made a lot of people. SCC/FGFD

where do we get the su binary. I have a supersu zip to gain root after unlock

Great job guys!!!

Do terminal apps need root to run? Can I do this with terminal and avoid ADB?

I got "no updates found" and permission denied...

Anyway to put the setting up of ADB in lamens terms for some of us that aren't familiar? I am ok with the commands, I just don't know how to get ADB to command prompt and where to place the files.

[ROOT] LG Optimus Logic (LGL35G)

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

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

Once rebooted install superuser from the market:

Help Me Please
what do you do when it says permission denied or not permitted when waiting for device, remounting, or pushing su?

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.

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.

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.

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.

how to run root
Sorry for sounding like a noob, but I am...when it comes to LG. im trying to root my homies LG optimus logic but im not sure where to run the command from. if some one could help me out on to where the zip should actullay be placed and unziped to that would be a big help, thanks. and if there is a thread already for this please hook up a link.

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.

Source code......

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.

I have bricked my phone I think please help.

Hello I have a HOX from att with the 1.85 software number.
I attempted to use this method to root my phone. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1709296
I proceeded with the instructions as followed and was sucessfully able to run these commands:
adb shell rm /data/data/com.redbend.vdmc/lib/libvd*
adb reboot
adb shell ln -s /data/local.prop /data/data/com.redbend.vdmc/lib/libvdmscomo.so
adb shell ls -l /data/local.prop
adb shell "echo 'ro.kernel.qemu=1' > /data/local.prop"
Now it's time to reboot
adb reboot
After phones reboots
adb remount
The command prompt indicated a successful remount. (At this point on the phone only the notification bar was working and nothing else was on the screen and right now that is where my phone is stuck, but i proceeded on)
I entered this command adb push su /system/xbin/su
and recieved a error
failed to copy 'su' to '/system/xbin/su': Read-only file system
At this point I did not know what to do I proceeded to reboot and then remount again.
Now I am stuck with just the notification bar responding and the settings not opening.
I am hoping anyone can help me also please PM me. I would appreciate any help with my situation.
If possible could someone g chat with me as typing and waiting for replies is taking to long.
Sorry if I come off as needy but the possiblity of losing the phone I recently bought is scaring me

I ended up just turning off the phone and then opening hboot and doing a factory reset. It got me back to stock so at least I can use my phone

When you try and mount your phone, since you factory reset through Hboot, you'll need to reformat your SD card because you corrupted it. Just some information for you.

Factory reset in bootloader, plug it in to comp, bring up "my computer" on your computer. Right click removable storage and choose "format"
