Hi there, I'm very new to all this android stuff, but i'm currently trying to get a sim unlock code for my one s. For this I'll need to copy a file to /system/ but Android Commander has so far told me I need root access (which i thought i had) and ES File Explorer has just said copy failed. Any help would be appreciated greatly
There is an option you may need to enable that will allow read/write access in es file explorer. Also, your SU program should request SU rights if it hasn't already.

I suspect it is to do with a 'soft root' issue, or so I keep seeing. Now I'm trying to use SuperOneClick but it just hangs at step#7, ive been having a lot of issues with the device being recognised in things such as HTC Sync.
I guess a better question to ask would be, is there another method to root i can use to get full access?
I'm not sure which tool you're using but sometimes connection issues are because usb debugging is not enabled. Did you get as far as flashing a custom recovery?

You need to unlock bootloader, install custom recovery, flash SU and SU script.

Thanks goes to #TeamWin for Temp Root
This is For Windows only, if you wish to make it work for linux or mac help your self...
Remember, This is still a Temp Root & any Changes made will be Rest back to stock on a Reboot
It's stable & works 100%
I Personally have not lost Root with this new Method
Q. I thought RW was Fixed?
A. Caused by Deleting an apk / file that was already deleted. Journaling shows it still there!
Keep Track of what you delete, as trying to delete something off system that you alread di hangs the /system into RO state.
Before Using!!HTC Sync Must be Turned OFF
Put the Phone into Charge Mode only ( Not Disk Drive )
USB Debugging Must be Turned on
What's Fixed:
Revamped due to new Method:
~ Superuser Apps now Function
~ If you Lose Root, all you have to do is Open terminal & type SU then type fixit! > No More Rebooting & running the exploit again for R/W on system to get Root back in place
~ Fixed R/O Bug!!
~ R/W is now Forced
~ /system is fully editable now! until reboot that is.
~ Busybox is installed to /vendor/bin
~ hex Edited libext4
~ hex edited libfuse.so
~~ This is the Last Update due to it working & Stable ~~

Q. Is this permanent?
A. no, it's a temp root method..
Q. Will I lose SU Access at some point while running the OS?
A. You might, but open terminal & type fixit to get root back!.
Q. What about apps that need a reboot to use superuser?
A. Use Fast Reboot form the market for app that need a reboot..
Q. Can I push & remove items to system & will it work?
A. Yes, but all changes are reset on a reboot.
Once Downloaded, Unzip & double click on the Run_ME_fre3vo_Root.bat File & Enjoy long lasting Root!
OLD NEWS:
Everyone knows that currently with any temp root, you still lose links to the SU Binary & Busybox links, it's just a matter of time before it happens!!
So after digging around somewhat I found an over sight that HTC might use later for system updates via /vendor/bin, who knows at this point though... Anyways, after amount of time the SU Binary along with busybox links if be in system/bin or /system/xbin gets deleted / removed..
Now, what I did was enable the $Path to /vendor/bin which is in the Sensation export PATH..
Any Calls made from this point either be SU or Busybox don't get deleted nor touched from any App requesting the SU Binary!! I've tested this with alot of apps & the Root sticks in place..
Other than Reboot, it might as well be a Perma-Temp-Root!!
I am Asia Sensation..Can i use it?
thanks loads
will give feedback
seems to work the same as before, cant wait until we can permanently change /system files
Thanks a lot !!!
I think the new thread it's beter, for the noob not confusion
with the old one
Great update. You should seriously consider talking with agrabren since your making temp root so much better. And I'm assuming you still can't permanently delete system apps right? Just permanently delete them for the time being until a reboot right?
does this still remove the bloatware as per the previous release? looking at the .bat doesn't seem to remove the apks in the manner/or at all?
Fantastic. Works great.

Even though Root Explorer is granted SuperUser, I still can not modify system files. I also can not actually overclock with SetCPU 2.2.4. It will show the max as 1728000 but it will never scale above 1188000
The process is extremely easy and very user friendly though
i have been trying root my sensation it says its a success but my phone is not rooted can anyone help
i did root it before and it worked i restarted my phone and lost root access as expected but now when reattempt it fails

Reboot did allow me to rename system apps, thank you. SetCPU still doesn't work correctly, but reading the other threads, this seems to be the normal behavior at this time. Awesome tool Eugene.

I really hate to add to the chaos, but no matter what I do. I am not able to get this to work properly. I have HTC sync turned off, and debugging and mock locations checked off, but when it gets to waiting for device, it just hangs, and never picks up the device again. I tried to remove the wait for device commands out of the .bat file, and it gets through but when I attempt to use even titanium, it says root not achieved, and will not let me through. Yes superuser is installed.

EDIT: I finally got it to work. The last two downloads of the files must have been bad or whatnot. I redownloaded a third time and it was the charm! Disregard this. Love your work Eugene!

Ok, I ran Revolutionary, got the mod to flash to get root, but when I hit Recovery on the boot screen I get some sort of lockup that requires a battery pull to recover from.
I've installed a terminal emulator, and have the root mod from Revolutionary on /mnt/SDCard. Is there some way I can run this from the terminal emulator on my phone?
I have ADB installed on my PC but I'm having some issues with that as well and would prefer to run anything directly from a terminal on my phone if possible.
BTW the phone boots back into a usable state with no issues*. I have S-Off, just don't have root.
*Well, with no issues that it didn't have before I ran Revolutionary.
Are you sure your superuser zip flashed correctly? When you go into terminal emulator and type su and hit enter does superuser ask for permissions? If it says permission denied then your root didn't work. If it does work then follow these steps:
unclespoon said:
If you're already rooted with s-off and want to update your recovery, but are like me and don't have access from work to ADB or don't know how to use it, here's how you can update to the 4.0.0.9 recovery:
1. Download Recovery 4.0.0.9 from Modaco's website
2. Using Root Explorer, find the file in your downloads folder on the sdcard.
3. Paste the recovery img file into your phone's /data/local folder.
4. In terminal emulator, first type "su" and then type "'dd if=/data/local/doubleshot.clockworkmod.4.0.0.9.modaco.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p21" and let it transfer the recovery file.
Simple as that!

Make sure the file ends in .img and not .txt or whatever it is that people keep running into. And make SURE the text is verbatim (without quotes obviously) or you'll run into errors. If it tries to capitalize a letter on you, pull out the hardware keyboard and make sure it's lowercase. If it doesn't let you input a special character, use the soft keyboard.
I appreciate the reply.
I'm quite certain that superuser didn't flash at all. The Recovery didn't install correctly, and hangs when I try to use it.
So what I want/need to do (unless someone has a better idea) is flash the MoDaCo recovery somehow. I tried to manually copy it to the correct block, but I do NOT have root.
Or manually flash the super user mod. I have a terminal emulator on my phone and can enter commands there, the super user mod is on /mnt/SDCard/.
I've also found this thread, which I intend to try to do later on after I've had more than 3 hrs of sleep in the past 24.
Yes, that's a great thread. Follow those instructions. If I were you I'd assume nothing has worked thus far and try starting over from scratch
I used the thread in the dev section the one labeled for dummies. worked like a charm.

That fixed it. I had issues with ADB so I had to uninstall that and reinstall it. Then I ran Revolutionary and got S-Off for real. Installing MoDaCo clockwork mod went like clockwork.
I'm now running UndeadK9's AOSP Gone Wild on Sense. I'm thinking I like some of the Sense widgets better, so I'll be reflashing his other ROM soon.
Now I just need to figure out how to do a batch restore in Titanium Backup and I'll be golden.
Have to buy full or use a cracked version if their is one.

I bought the full version of both Titanium Backup and Root Explorer.
Tb explains itself. Great app can also freeze updates and such so you won't be bothered by them.
Root explorer can fix premissions which is good and also various other things.
Two very good buys .

So, I just bought Fast Five on bluray and it came with a digital copy. Hooray and all that. However, when I go through the steps to download that copy through Pocket Blu, it tells me it won't let me download it because my phone is rooted and this presents a security concern.
Anyone found a way around this, other than unrooting your phone?
You could try to rename the su file location and see if that helps. They usually detect those folders
I think I saw a solution to that in the Nook Color subforum here at XDA a while ago, might have been something with Google video not working on rooted devices, was a little while ago.
Might want to browse around over there and see what you can come up with, you can probably take what they figured out and apply it to your problem.

I found it. For future reference, it's in /system/xbin. Renaming su to mu temporarily works fine! You can watch vids is root, just not download.

Glad you found it.
Just note that it may vary by device.
Only downside is that you have to manually flash su from recovery after to get it back. None of my root enabled file explorers were able to rename the file back to su (not surprising since it looked for the su command to be able to do so).

Actually, I just did this.
Open task manager and kill pocket blu
Connect usb to your computer
adb shell (on your computer)
su
find / -name su
mount -o remount,rw <location of /system> /system
mv /system/bin/su /system/bin/mu
Launch pocket blu
Redeem code.
Back on your computer
mv /system/bin/mu /system/bin/su
Note that the location of su can vary but will likely be in /system.
However, I could not play the movie while it was rooted. I have to unroot in order to playback.

Root explorer allowed me to rename it "mu" start the download, and name it back to "su" as long as I didn't back out of root explore or fc it. I'm guessing it still maintained the root privileges it was granted upon the start of the app. Either that or I just got lucky.

It seems a few application detect that the phone is rooted with the presence of su. Can someone be root on a device, using one of the available exploit, without having to push and use 'su'?
You need SU to do anything in root. May want to read the what is root threads, they are really informative and even may surprise you with some info you hadn't come across yet
MoPhoACTV Initiative
Actually one can have root access with out the superuser.apk there's a thread on the g2x section about it, it's in the app and theme section. I reccomed that one fully understanding the implications of not having SU before they remove it though.
