[7/13/2011]New method to get "temp-root"(root won't disappear until reboot!)
Sorry for poor English
This method is based on joel.bourquard's method,here is the orignal link:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1151735
Thanks to joel.bourquard's.
I've tried almost all the method in xda And the newest perma-root caused that i can not install apps from computer..Today i found that link /data/bin/su to /system/bin/su and then root explorer works and i can delete apks easily..I shutdown my phone(fastboot enabled)and boot it twice,root still exists..That will be nice
Root Explorer 2.16, Titanium Backup 3.8.9.2 ,Setcpu 2.2.4 all tested,workds perfect
Requirements:
Original "out of the box" Sensation or EVO 3D (untested).
Android SDK tools ("adb" command) on a computer.
USB connection between computer and phone.
USB debugging enabled(Settings, Applications, Development
Initial (one-time) setup:
Extract Easy_Fre3vo_Bat.7z
Put all the files in the "Resource"folder" to User's folder(For example,My computer user's name is Jerry,so i put them into C:\Users\Jerry)
run cmd and input the following command
adb push fre3vo /data/local/tmp/
adb shell "cd /data/local/tmp ; chmod 755 fre3vo ; ./fre3vo"
adb shell "mkdir /data/bin ; mv /data/local/tmp/fre3vo /data/bin/"
adb push su /data/bin/
adb push root.sh /data/bin/
adb shell "chmod 4555 /data/bin/su ; chmod 755 /data/bin/root.sh"
adb shell "/data/bin/root.sh"
adb shell mount -oremount /dev/block/mmcblk0p22 /system
adb install Superuser.apk
adb shell chmod 06755 /data/bin/su
adb shell ln -s /data/bin/su /system/bin/su
After every reboot:
adb shell "/data/bin/fre3vo"
adb shell "/data/bin/root.sh"
adb shell mount -oremount /dev/block/mmcblk0p22 /system
adb shell chmod 06755 /data/bin/su
adb shell ln -s /data/bin/su /system/bin/su
And here is a bat(No need ADB from SDK)

Now it is time to go to bed
Have fun!

Will try and report back. It's a shame eugene's version is so buggy.. It was working really great until the last few releases where it was deemed 'stable' but had the memory bug that prevented some apps like Root Explorer from running and the installation glitch
EDIT: Been using it. Don't know if there is any diff from the one you used the method from, but it definitely doesn't have the glitches in eugene's version so I will continue using this one for now.

Loses root just like the rest of them, thanks for you effort...

I don't mind losing root and re-enabling. It's the bugginess that crept in using other version that caused me some grief. Not meant as a complaint at all. Just reporting the issue. My bugs included wifi error, the negative values already reported and touch screen wonkiness that included inability to use the password touch screen pattern lock utility at all. Turning off rotation as a fix for the password touch screen utility fix did NOT work for me BTW. I ended up doing the factory reset.

Appears to be okay right now...I'm running a Titanium restore at the moment.
One thing I did notice, as alluded to in the OP: if you've used some of the other Fre3vo offshoots before this one you likely will see a fail when trying this one out. I suspect it has to do with changes the other Fre3vo's make being incompatible with this latest?
At any rate, I did a factory restore and now this temp root process works, from what I've seen so far.

I'm currently live in China and I got the phone from here and I tried this method too. didn't work for me, it's because I have a asian one.

[HOWTO] Root the Atrix 2(Updated for 2.3.6 FINALLY)

First: I'd like to make it clear I am not claiming this process as my own. This method was created by p3droid over at the MyDroidWorld Forums. I am not a dev, just someone compiling information.
Second: This root method is originally intended for the Droid Bionic and I take no responsibility if this bricks your phone.
Third: This root was discovered by JRW 28 So give him some love with that thanks button.
If you are on 2.3.6:
Install the OTA and upgrade your phone to 2.3.6
Download the 2.3.6 root zip from HERE
Make sure you have the right drivers installed then connect your phone to your PC.
Unzip the file and then double-click "Click-To-Root.bat".
Refer to the trouble shooting step bleow the 2.3.5 method if you are unable to attain root!
If you are on 2.3.5:
Root: I used the Lazy One Click and it worked perfectly, others have had success with the full manual method.
I am a manual man, I don't use 1 clicks so I will post this the only way I know how...
Download the follow file: it contains the exploit, su, Superuser
Download exploit ---> Exploit.zip
1) Unzip contents of folder to your Desktop
2) open a command terminal and navigate to the folder (cd Desktop/Exploit)
3) type the following commands
---> 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
4) Wait for the root to be gained
5) type the following commands
---> adb shell (only type this if you are no longer in [email protected])
---> 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

Important for those using Oneclick:
1.Extract the files from 1-click_exploit.zip.
2.Enable USB debugging. Do so by going into your settings, then to applications, then to development.
3.Set your connection type to charge only. You can change your connection type through the notification bar once your are connected.
4.Make sure you go to Settings, Applications, and check Unknown sources if you haven't done so already.
5.Click runme.bat while your phone is connected. Be patient and let the program do it's thing. YOUR PHONE WILL REBOOT! Do not be alarmed as this is normal. Your phone should now be rooted.
Cheers!
If runme.bat hangs after daemeon starts:
1.First make sure you have USB Debugging, Unknown Sources, and Charge only connection enabled
2.If none of these options work, uninstall your drivers and download and install one of these:

Anyone else try?

I'll be uploading a terminal screen in a second accessing root.

Yea I have it working and full SU Access. No wonder the computer doesnt have access to the phones internal memory it is by default set as r/o...Im gonna change it to R/W and see if that changes anything other than allowing R/W access. And after trying notta still only SD Card access like I thought, I assume there is some sorta setting we can edit though. At least that is my assumption. I used the One Click method Worked flawlessly on my device and Very Simple.

How do you root the phone using the one click method? I've downloaded the zip and extracted it. Do I just connect my phone and then click on the runme.bat? When I connect my phone, any special instructions there or just connect it as if i was going to charge it, then enable usb debugging? Please clarify. Thanks.

Enable USB debugging. Then connect your phone to the computer. In the notification area, click on "USB connection" for more options. Click charge only.
Then double click on runme.bat
Follow instructions. Be patient while phone reboots. It will say (in the command prompt window) you have successfully rooted when it's all done.
It's schweet.

If you read at the end of my original post I document what I've tried. If your really adventurous you may want to try the bionic bootstrapper but it may brick your phone... I haven't tried that yet, though the similarities between the atrix2 and the bionic lead me to believe it may work.

You cant flash this through recovery because its not a zip file. Best thing to do is get a program like androidcommander and copy the file over manually. (the program does the adb commands for you)
the file needs to go in system/app and cant be installed like a regular apk.
and you don't need an unlocked bootloader, just full root access

Sorry,but could you explain further? I have root, and copy file to system/app wit root explorer, and cant install it...And I lost system bar now...Any help?

I can't get this to work either.
Androidcommander says I don't have root access even though I'm rooted, and the FAQ infers that I'll have to wipe my phone completely with a new flash and a modified boot.img to get Root Access (which would also require me to learn about editing ROM images).
I did get Busybox though, and I backed up my SystemUI.apk from before... after killing it off from the system/app folder I noticed I can at least restore the old one by installing it as a normal application... but getting this new one simply hasn't been working for me.
Ugh... patience is wearing thin.

Boom, sweet victory! I got it working... just had to drive myself near insanity with Android Terminal Emulator.
Added BusyBox to the list of SuperUser Access apps, got Terminal Emulator from the Android Market, moved the SystemUI.apk to the root of my SDCARD and entered the following commands:
su
cd /sdcard/
mount -o remount rw /system/ (somehow [mount -o remount,rw /system/] didn't work because of the comma)
cp -f SystemUI.apk /system/app
...and now I can do something I've been wanting to do for ages... NotificationToggle... get the **** off my system

Got it to work through insecure adb...What i did was install insecure adb via the apk (this cuases your phone to reboot after installing) , typed in "adb remount" in cmd and the simply used this command: adb push SystemUI.apk /system/app/SystemUI.apk.
NOTE - You will have to put the system ui.apk into the same folder as adb and browse to that folder using command prompt.
I'm fairly new to this stuff so no idea if what I did is correct...BUT it is working for me now

[Solved] Problem restoring root via OTA rootkeeper

I made a dumb mistake. Sometime back i had mistakenly deleted the contents of the sdcard after voodoo rootkeeper su backup. Forgot about the su backup!
Updated the latest update, without backing up again.
Rootkeeper shows that su copy is available but doesn't restore.

Tried cold booting, multiple restarts, everything in vain.
Question is, can I restore root from the backup of other users in the forum? Or is it device specific?
Somebody care to upload the contents of the folder if it doesn't give away any personal data?
Thanks.

I am currently in JB (v10.4.2.13).
Tablet is not unlocked
Vodoo OTA Rootkeeper restored fine when I updated from ICS(9.4.3.30) to JB (10.4.2.9).
The check-boxes will be checked by the app not manually AFAIK.
Anyhow gave it a try, not clickable
Stupid of me not to backup before updating

It's possible to have backup of rootkeeper?

I have solved so, removed supersu, instal superuser from market.
Restore root from rootkeeper and all ok.
Remove superuser and reinstall supersu.
Now I have root access.

Root Achieved
Solved the problem.
Followed the steps in the thread posted here
Steps:
Most of the commands are copy-paste from the thread just modified for this specific problem (I do not take credit for these steps).
Download View attachment su.zip from this post (thanks to calisro)
Extract the contents to a folder.
Start a cmd window in that folder and logon to adb
In adb shell type
Code:
/system/usr/we-need-root/su-backup
(check the file availability in that folder and the file name and correct the command accordingly)
Confirm whether you have root. The adb shell prompt should be # not $, also can be confirmed by typing id and should echo something like this "uid=0(root) gid=0(root)"
Remount system as RW:
Code:
mount -o remount,rw /dev/block/mmcblk0p1 /system
Open a new CMD window and push the su binary from step 1 to the sdcard using the path from where ever you put it.
Code:
adb push c:\<some path>\su /sdcard/
Then copy it to /system/bin from the adb session where you got root.
Code:
cat /sdcard/su > /system/bin/su
Change permissions for SU
Code:
chmod 6755 /system/bin/su
Download superuser (NOT SUPERSU) from play store if you do not have it already.
Force superuser upgrade the su binary. It may fail to remount system as RO. Just rerun the update in superuser and it will work the 2nd time. You don't need to remount system as RO manually since superuser update of SU will do that for you.
congrats. your now re-rooted.
Think, this will solve the problem plaguing few people who could not restore root after latest OTA.

[GUIDE] Enable Multi-Window Mode on Android 6.0 Marshmallow

There's a hidden feature in Android 6.0, multi window. It has its warnings:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
So decide if this is actually for you before following these steps
It's not shown in user builds, so we have to do some messing. You'll either need root or a custom recovery to do this, but as not everyone wants root, here's how you do it with TWRP, a USB cable, and a PC with ADB:
1. Boot your device into recovery
2. Mount your system by going to Mounts > Tick System
3. On your PC open a command line, somewhere like your desktop is useful
4. Type the following command:
HTML:
adb pull /system/build.prop
5. Open the build.prop file with your favourite (decent) editor, I recommend using Notepad++ on Windows
6. Find the "ro.build.type" line
7. Change the text after = to "userdebug" from "user"
BONUS: If you want a nicer DPI here, change the line "ro.sf.lcd_density" to your preferred DPI
8. Save the file
9. Go back to the command line and enter the following command:
HTML:
adb push build.prop /system/
10. Now open a shell doing:
HTML:
adb shell
11. Now a adb shell will open, enter these commands:
HTML:
cd system
chmod 644 build.prop
12. Reboot the device as normal
13. When the device has booted, go to the developer options
14. Scroll down to the bottom of the "Drawing" category
15. Enable multi-window and have some fun!
If you're rooted...
1. Download "Build.prop editor"
2. Find "ro.build.type"
3. Edit it to have the value "userdebug" from "user"
4. Reboot when prompted
5. When the device has booted, go to the developer options
6. Scroll down to the bottom of the "Drawing" category
7. Enable multi-window and have some fun!

Worked ! Thanks
Such a shame the Keynote didn't introduce such feature, it's stable enough. Just think of the use of the feature on a 10" tablet.

works perfect thank you !

How do you use it after enabling?

Go recent menu, on the apps beside the x there's a button to choose the top half or second half.
Multirom users can go /data/media/multirom/roms/ and edit the build prop directly there, no need to use adb. I did it without using a PC

I flashed the latest hammerhead twrp with fastboot command, it was successful, but when I reboot bootloader and choose recovery, it keeps loads forever and sometimes the screen flashes black. I tried CWM after that, it said root needed. How do you guys got recovery on M?

I get how to use it, but how do you consistently pick the two apps that you want to appear?

Nope. I tried doing the "push/pull files" and it didn't work. You can install custom Recovery with WugFresh then follow these instructions.

Can you send your build.prop to me via pm. I can make a flashable zip for you

Hello people, I have multirom installed on my nexus 5, the primary rom is 5.1.1 (LMY48B), and my secondary rom is the developer preview MPZ44Q. I want to know if it's possible to enable multi-window mode since the M preview is installed as secondary rom.

I did it. Reboot into recovery. Swap the Roms. Don't reboot . reboot into recovery again from the reboot tab. Select multiboot tab just to ensure you are OK and the M ROM is the internal.. Mount system and do what the op says. Reboot into recovery again swap Roms again . reboot system and you should be OK. Takes like a half an hour to do though
PS. NEVER FIX SU. ALWAYS SKIP

I understood that if i try to install su on the M rom, it will result in bootloop. And my internal rom is stock ROOTED. So do you think it will work ?
When i will swap the roms, the fact that my primary rom is rooted, will it cause any problem ? Thanks in advance.

Nope my primary is still rooted. And I an typing this from my secondary M ROM with multi window enabled. All you have to do is never fix su for either ROM and never boot the system with M as your primary ROM and you are ok

Help me too
