screenshot and a cache cleaner. i do see there's a superuser permission app on my build but when i go to the terminal it says im still not root.
well i did alot of searching today and i don't think you can unlock this as technically we don't have a g1 or hero phone. we are running an image from a sd card. i still wonder how i can get root access to run certain apps? has anybody else addressed this issue because i can't find an answer.

i did, it says permission denied!
well i think what im looking for is to become a superuser to be able to run certain market apps such as screenshot and a cache cleaner. ive searched everywhere here and on ppcgeeks with no luck. i did see something about a script that can allow certain apps at launch to run in superuser mode, is there anything like that at all? sorry if i keep asking but it's bugging me to no end and im sorta stuck. how did you guys get apps to run in root mode? is there a command i need to enter int he terminal? i do know i tried su and it said permission denied for me?
by the way what is the superuser permissions app i see on my build of cupcake? i launch it and it does nothing?

Using adb will always give you root access, for windows you need to install the adb drivers from my site. Remember we are using a read only root filesystem so apps that modify the root fs won't work. su in the ion build will also give you root.

Hi All,
I viewed the video posted by the Unrevoeked team a little while back about their EVO 4G root and it definitely caught my attention.
http://grack.com/blog/2010/05/23/root-on-an-htc-evo-4g/comment-page-1/#comment-8123
I just noticed today they posted an update on the thread and a link to:
http://unrevoked.com/
If you follow the site they let you download unrevoked.apk
If this APK running in some way means we can root. Well It installs successfully and when you actually run it it says "done." So I believe it does what it is suppose to do on the Eris, I just dont know what steps to take from their.
I have tried installed 2 different superuser apks and neither seems to work. Not sure if I should be doing something else.
PS I am using unrooted OTA

By meaning neither one of them "work" you mean when you press on the app and all you see is a black screen thats all it will do until a program that requires root requires permission to do whatever the app was designed to do. Ohh usb debugging in setting->applications->Development-> USB debugging should be checked.
Hey,
I tested out ADB its not working and by not working I mean neither prompt for superuser permission.
doesnt work
It doesn't work sadly. The Dev's blog is shadowmite. com/blog/ (without the space) if you are looking for any followups though.
It looks like all it does is try and replace/write /system/bin/su but I can't entirely tell. This app is supposed to run something on boot so you may want to try rebooting. Also, it creates a log: /data/DxDrm/unrevoked.log
So im assuming that if you install that app to an UNrooted phone it just gives you a black screen when you open it?

It will always give you a black screen, rooted or not. It comes into play automatically when an app requests SU permissions. At that point you would receive a Superuser message asking to allow or deny. Hope that helps...

Ohh okay. Thanks! So this will sound really stupid, but how come we cant just install this apk and run rooted stuff with the superuser permissions on a regular phone?

Superuser.apk needs 'su', which is not on the phone and needs to be written to sections that are read-only.
hmm..
This is true... I should have thought about that haha
I have a Mytouch 4G
I have allready temprooted with R14
I am trying to permroot, but for some reason i can not get Terminal Emulator to run, everytime I start it, it just crashes/wont open.
Thanks for any help
Arley
Which terminal emulator program are you using? While this may not fix your problem, it may workaround if you use a different emulator program.
Have you installed RomManager? If so, you could run fix permissions to try to fix resolve the FC issue as well. I am not sure how well that works with temproot but it is worth a try.

Well guys im going to upload the apk i got from some post on here somewhere but it worked for me.
Just uninstall the current SU and then " INSTALL " this one. No rebooting required...
Also not my liability. I haven't noticed anything bad or out of normal. It works for me
you mean install that one. I don't see a flashable zip.

how do you uninstall superuser

First of all, if Superuser works for you and you have root privileges and root apps work this wouldn't apply to you.
Well, first I would go to Settings, Applications, Manage Applications, and look for Superuser.
If it is not there, then you might have to dig into ADB commands. Or just reflash ROM.

Go to the applications list and choose uninstall on super user.
Or go to the market go to my apps and then find super user click it and select un install.
From there install the 3.0 SU that I have listed and it should work for your device (varies among devices and roms).
YOU DO NOT NEED TO REFLASH ANYTHING. Just re install and it should work . It is what worked for me.
This is super frustrating it does not give me that option i guess i need to root again even though it say S if Off

Download the APK and use astro or similar to browse to your download folder and find the apk and click and use app manager to install it.
OK I got it Thanks everyone.

Hi guys
So i have seen this posted several times, does anyone know or tried this on our device?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/note-4-verizon/general/root-want-to-modify-dpi-t2960644
I currently dont have ADB setup and wont have today, but it would be cool if someone had tried it and could tell me if it works, since it would keep me from rooting the phone later
EDIT: confirmed working, but be careful with the dpi you use, because I have seen some reports of systemui force close and you won't be able to change back to stock dpi. Will update later with the recommended dpi setting to use with this.
Wouldn't it get you into trouble with play store and dpi settings on some apps that you can't install them?
And to what dpi did you change it?
Do you have screenshots?
Thanks
Why we get always new threads like this !! -__-
No you cant because you need root to get acces inside the system !

This actually works without root... I've just tried it, ADB Shell doesn't have SU permissions granted in SuperSU so it can't be a root thing. I didn't run the su command either.

I think I set 320, however after testing it I restored back to default (480 I think default is).

I always get root on my devices too, so I didn't think it would work. But with no SU command run nor ADB Shell having superSU permissions it definitely works without root. Always best to be skeptical about it working until informed otherwise.
i dont know about you guys, but when i change dpi everything is fine except for swiftkey, its gets extremely zoomed in and can only show 4 letters. It happens with every dpi i try except stock(480)...On my previous phone i never had any problems with swiftkey and chaging dpi...
