edited my original post because it really didn't help anyone or do anything other than take up space.

Updated first post. Now with screenshots! Ooooo, aaaaaahh!

here is the cmd dialog i got when i ran it the first time, then i read the next two posts...dont know how i missed that the first time...thanks guys

that just means you need to install .NET Framework 4.0. unless you already have it installed and it still doesnt work, then i dont know.

Very nice! This makes me almost wanna unroot just to try it. Excelent job!

This is sweet, it's simple yet elegant. I was wondering if you could do something like this for your s-off method/nand unlock method?

I've tried to use this a couple times without any luck both with 2.27.651.6 as well as 2.31.651.7
My phone is recognized by the rooter but seems to lock up on ">Running Exploit"
I know I'm not supposed to remove my phone but after close to thirty minutes I figured I'd see what happens if I did. I get a pop-up informing I can remove my phone and the rooter springs to life telling me root was achieved and complete however it doesn't seem to be rooted. (No custom recovery or SU installed)
I'm running Windows 7 Ultimate and have the USB drivers installed as well as .Net Framework 4.0.

Ok thank you for the great feedback. That helped me find out right where the problem was in my code.
I need someone (anyone with a NON-Rooted Hero, and the sdk set up) to run this code for me, then attach the file named "HeroRoot.txt" it creates on your desktop to the thread here on xda.
Code:
adb start-server
then wait until it returns to the normal prompt, then enter:
Code:
adb shell mount -o remount,rw -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system > "%userprofile%\Desktop\HeroRoot.txt"

I had to turn on USB Debugging to get it to try the mount command, otherwise it just said "error: Device not found"
But attached is the requested output.
Hope that helps.

semi-stupid question, I need to have the Android SDK installed to run this right?

I think Regaw is trying to make a simple application so that all you need installed is HTC Sync and .NET 4 Framework. I could be wrong
So No you don't need the SDK to run this application.

In that case, it's not even recognizing my phone...installed HTC Sync and have .NET Framework 4 Extended (and Client Profile)

@Wufei
Make sure you have USB Debugging enabled in Settings -> Applications -> Development.

yeah sorry, working on the issue now. Should have this bug worked out soon. And no, you do NOT need the sdk for this, I have included adb.exe and the necessary dlls it needs. Thanks for the HeroRoot.txt btw

[Q] adb error using shift root and recovery

Help! When I try to root my evo shift with gui shift root and recovery all I get is an adb error message. I have installed htc sync on my laptop. I also cannot connect to sync. These problems may be related? I am running windows vista.

sounds like the drivers may not have installed... Where did you get the version of sync you installed? You're best bet is to use the one off the sdcard. I've had an occasion or two also where things got messed up, and I uninstalled it all and reinstalled. (under programs and features you'll find HTC sync and driver installer, remove both and reinstall if necessary)

I installed it off the sd card and have did the install/ uninstall at least 5 times. still no luck.

i had same error but i just did mine maually. theres a video now for manually rotting it. if you fllow the steps you will root your shift

I'm in the same boat no matter what I do it my shift won't connect to sync and when I run adb devices it kicks a blank line then right back to platform-tools I'm running Vista myself and messed with it for hours and no luck I'm mad because I have rooted my shifts already and don't know what went wrong with the drivers sync or my pc this sucks as I need to be able to adb to help test some things

You do have adb debugging on right... the only other thing I could think of.

Yes I do have debugging on.

have you tried getting sync from htc's website to be sure?

If I'm correct the old version of syn from sprints website was giving me problems loading the drivers. I used the newest version from htc website and voila I was good to go. U may want to try that. I just re rooted earlier use the gui and it worked like a charm

I have the sync from htc website. I still get error running adb try again. Ive used the same usb cord and ports with my archos pad and have no trouble transfering files.

What exactly does the error message say? And with what command?

I dunno what the other guys error is but I know on mine if I go to device manager there is an error code 37 with my HTC on my Vista pc.....I can cd to my c:\Android\Android-sdk\platform-tools
But when I hit add devices it kicks back and empty line after it starts the Damon on whatever then right back out to platform tools...it does the same thing with every sync I install, plus my phone can't find sync on my pc at all even if its open...and help would be really appreciated

I'm having the "error running adb try again" problem as well. Unfortunately when I try to run adb from the cmd prompt its output goes to a popup cmd prompt window which disappears before I can read it. My guess however is that it's blank like yours.
I'm convinced I've done everything they way I'm supposed to. Has anyone yet gotten the htc drivers to work under vista?

I had this same issue with ADB..all I did was, while connected via usb, uncheck debugging and then recheck. Clicked root again and it worked.

Sigh, there was a adb update. Install the new version from the sdk, delete the one in shiftrr, copy the new one in, close adb with task manager, then run as you were trying to do before. That fixed it for me.
And make sure when you install the recovery, not to use the one it comes with, it doesn't support the newer roms we have on the shift now. If you want to flash current ones, use clockwork 5.0.2.0, our twrp (recommended)

[Q]Ubuntu on TF101: Flash Player and/or repository problems?

Hi Guys,
i finally manage to get Ubuntu working on my transformer. WiFi (no gui) and Touchpad working. Ubuntu 11.04.
Now i have the following problem:
Ubuntu Software Center doesnt indicate loads of nescessary plugins and software such as Adobe Flash player.
Tried to install it manually with:
sudo apt-get install flashplugin-installer (tried adobe-flashplugin and flashplugin-nonfree aswell)
but it looks like it can't find the package through my repositories.
When i run apt-get update, which i do every time before installing something, i see allot of 404 errors when the rep is trying to fetch:
http://../binary-armel/ packages.
My question:
anybody got flash and divx running will on their Ubuntu @ the Transformer? Maybe im overlooking something. Or maybe the repositories doesnt support Armel (ARM Cortex) 9 yet.
my Ubuntu repositories
So if u succeded installing flash, im glad to hear how u did it.
Just to make clear, it's my first day running Ubuntu...but im a fast learner
Ty in advance guys!

Anybody? I got the feeling Flash just doesnt support for ARM built Ubuntus. I tried most repositories...
Some how some softwares gave indication that i dont have internet connection, while i do have connection through wpa_supplicant.
Edit:
update, Gnash and lightspark or libflashplayer.so plugin doesnt work aswell. Anybody got ideas?

bump
Also tried dropping libflashplayer.so in plugins, but firefox says out of date and will not play videos without upgrading flash player.

Did you try Running
sudo apt-get update
To update your repository? It always failed for me until I did that.

Yes. I'm running 12.04 with 2.6 kernel. when i do sudo apt-get install adobe-flashplugin, it says not available but referred to by another package. If anyone has a manual file that i can drop into the plugins folder, that would work too.

help with nethunter and mulitrom

So I got twrp 3.0.2_2016-04-17 p1 multirom working. I installed a few roms in primary and have moved to secondary but can only boot while in primary slot (kexec issue I assume) Really trying to get kali up and running and not so much kexec (will move back and forth for now) . found a lots of readme which looked good but diddn't quite work out. when kali would boot the nethunter terninal app would fail saying it couldn't find bootkali_login and I could never really uninstall changeroot. from twrp file manager I deleted /data/local/nhunter* and did complete reinstalls and still same results. I installed nh-op1-kali3.0 over cm13 and also found all in one 7.1 lineageos vers 14.0-20170101-unoffical and same results. I cannot find a cm11 or cm12 compatible with kali3.0 should I step down to kali2.0? any help or direction is greatly appreciated.

@seanwlk

Why dual boot? What do you need multirom for?
You can flash LineageOS 14.1 root it, and install busybox.
Then you need the nethunter apk and install chroot from there. (Chose either minimal or full doesn't matter)
The "issue" comes now basically I've tried multiple times to make the nethunter terminal work but it doesn't connect to Kali. So I managed to find a workaround which is basically using Kali over SSH and I suggest you JuiceSSH (but every SSH client will work) just connect to 127.0.0.1 (which is localhost, where Kali runs) but since the SSH service doesn't start on boot you will need to start it manually on each reboot through the nethunter app by creating a custom command that will be sent to Kali
Code:
service ssh start
Now you'll be able to connect and use Kali terminal.
It may not be perfect but I use it on daily bases.
I do this since COS 13 days.

Here I add some useful material.

Thanks for the responses. I found flashing the cm 13.1.2 original image when my phone would keep failing installs helped when I kept getting failed installs. got it and running on cm12 5.1.1 works great.... except for when it suddenly and randomly freezes the whole system with the screen on. I ran the Y-cable service and tried it out and it worked great. wifite as normal. I will give lineage14.1 a try. thanks for the heads up. as far as using multirom..... I found it copies the files from secondary to primary faster than a nandroid restore. I think its because the partitions are not zipped. 64gb is more than enough space that speed vs disk space wins. I have been using an lg g3 for years now and I really do like opo. got my tempered screen and tpu case yesterday so it's now traveling safely with me . My only concerns with lineage14.1 is that it might not support the wifi adapters in the kernel for external wifi adapters.

Nice!
I was having the same issue when I was running it on cm13. every time I tried to run android terminal in chroot kali it would fail cause it couldn't find bootkali. I thought it was just a chroot issue but if it works through ssh than that works for me! come to think of it. I never even tried vnc'ing cause I assumed it was not working. ssh much better than vnc for cpu overhead for sure.

I've tried VNC for the sake of curiosity. I installed xrdp but I can't login for some reason it gets stuck on the login form. But no big deal I don't need UI.
I hope I helped somebody, not sure if this method I use got ever published on the Internet ?

I installed latest nightly of lineage14.1 5/29/2017. Debug is enable and allowed over adb. (root priv for apps not built into lineage) then after inital boot twrp install of superSUv2.82 then your busybox and your nethunter. its not working for me. ssh service wont start. chroot is installed but not working. I'm obviously doing something wrong here. I can SU in terminal but cannot run "bootkali" or "bootkali_login" which is the error nethunter app is giving me.

Are you sure that the chroot is correctly installed?
Should be mounted here
Code:
/data/local/nhsystem/kali-armhf
Also when you boot the phone does the nethunter notification popup saying the boot went all OK?
How are you starting the SSH service?
Here check these screenshots: https://imgur.com/a/TYqoc
Also remember that Kali has an user and password so connect to SSH with the following credentials:
Code:
Host: 127.0.0.1
User: root
Pass: toor

seanwik,
yes to all of that I got everything the same. I was connecting as root to 127.0.0.1 but I was also thinking sshd.conf needed to be set to allow for root access possibly? but I never had to before so I have to guess sshd did not launch at start up. are you using a thrid party kernel?

None of those commands start at startup, for the same reason nethunter terminal doesn't work, to have to run that custom command from within the app, only that way works. Also I don't use SuperSU but the root enabler for LineageOS so I used privacy guard as root manager. Don't think that's the issue, was just saying.
I'm currently running LineageOS kernel, but this method worked even with Boeffla
Look:
(sorry for my ****ty voice ? )
I fully clean reinstalled my ROM like 2 days ago and did this as usual and works.

thanks for the video and your time. did a new install. stilll same results. ssh service wont start.
thanks!

Developer options > manage root access. (Screenshot attached)
But it doesn't matter, I used Kali with SuperSU and magisk and it worked.
Does it tell you something when you tap on RUN on the custom command ?
Quick recap:
1-Flash Lineage
2-root
3-boot and install BusyBox and nethunter app
3-through nethunter app install Kali chroot (it will download the image and mount it in /data/local/nhsystem)
4-Reboot
5-Create custom command to start SSH service
6-Run SSH service
7-Connect to SSH with a client
I also just remembered you can see if the service is up from the nethunter app, check attachments.
LineageOS just updated to 5th june I updated and the chroot still works.

okay so I reinstalled and enabled the use of privacy guard in lineageOS first boot setup. when I go under privacy I dont see any settings to give busybox installer root access. dev-options only has settings to give root access to "enable root adb only" it does not have the usual "enable root adb and apps" any help would be great.

in my previous installs nethunter full not miniimal is installed. I have the ablility to install chroot and remove it. after reboot I would get status bar message like you saying nh service system is up and running. created entry like you the same. Thank you for helping. trying to figure out how to enable root without installing supersu in twrp like you.

Because you didn't root with the LineageOS root zip
But as I said I don't think that's the issue.
I attach you the needed zips, the installer and the remover. Just flash through TWRP instead of using SuperSU.
Then go to developer options and in that menu it will appear more options select apps and ADB (check screenshot in the attachments)
This is just to put you in my same conditions but I don't believe it will fix the issue.

After much help from seanwik and 24 nhinstall.logs...its up and running connecting over ssh. I didn't stop there. After a little playing I got nhterm to work with Kali term instead of suandroid. Found a setting in dev options. Still does not launch within nethunter but I'm working on it.

I remember reading you have to uninstall nhterm.apk nh.apk vnc.apk and install nhterm vnc then nh in that order. Some of my playing included manually installing all the nh.apks from the nh.zip using xplore .

Nhterm

Glad it works, but I'll stick to JuiceSSH because I love the interface and it's features. And since I use for remote accessing my servers it's much easier for me to have everything in the same library ?

Compiling android keyboard gadget for nokia 3 ta-1032

Hi Everyone.!.!.
So i decided to use Authorizer(password manager) from F-droid to help me remember all my passwords and I also liked the feature that it lets you type the password over the usb and bluetooth on any device, but then I saw that it requires android keyboard gadget[Github] in order to work over the usb.
But the problem is I can not even understand the first line of scripting "There is a possibility to send keypresses in an automated way, using terminal emulator for Android or similar app. This is done using hid-gadget-test utility."
Can anyone help me compile this for my device [Nokia 3 TA-1032 android pie rooted using magisk] .?.?. I am using windows 10.
p.s. : At "Compiling kernel" it says to use linux, so can I use tails os to do that task .?.?.
