Hello everyone,
Just soft rooted my Wildfire using Martin's 1-click soft root app, brilliant work by the way! From being a complete newbie to android I'm learning more and more as I go.
Testing root privileges with terminal emulator seems positive, so I tried installing and running titanium backup. i gave it root privileges no problem, but now it says I need to install busybox. Can someone please tell me how to do this? Anyone else had to do this recently? I did the soft root using dropbox and installing the apk's so have no adb experience!
Any help would be much appreciated

Really?! Brilliant thanks, just done it. Was expecting some long and complex solution! Cheers for the fast response as well
Hi
Chris and chips did you notice any performance increase after installing busybox ?

Nope. But the phone is a bit more useful now.

Hey everyone, I recently put the fission rom on my d2 and have rooted it but su user doesn't load? And I can't run ad free or google tether. Should I try running the root process again?

how did you rot, and if it said root successful, then go into the market and download superuser and then you should be able to give apps the correct permissions, hope this helped let me know if you run into problems.
There is a version of SU in the floder on your sdcard called Fission. It's in the Essential apps folder inside Fission. See if that loads if it isn't the one you tried.
I used 123 root and when trying to use the one in the fission folder it says installation unsuccessful

Please put [SOLVED] in front of your thread.
I am currently working on a project for my computer forensics course. I am trying to gather methods used to root Android's without having to install a custom ROM and lose the data held on the internal memory. I would appreciate it if people could help me generate a list of known methods for older and newer versions of Android.
--------------
E.g. AndRoot - used on versions lower than v2.27.651.6?
Universal AndRoot - used on v2.1
SuperOneClick
Unrevoked
--------------
I plan to roll back my HTC Hero to use the older ROM's and attempt the exploits. Does anyone recommend somewhere to get older stock ROM's from?
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
Z4Root is an app I used from the market that will root your phone without a PC.
1) Install Z4Root
2) Run app and hit "Perm Root"
3) Phone reboots and installs SU
4) Done

Root Access
Anybody tried to run some applications which requires root access after rooting.
It looks like superuser used is pushed into phone. But when you are running the applications which require root access, not getting any pop-up for allowing denying... any clues...

Working fine now.... Probably you need to add one last step.
6. After rooting, Reboot the phone to start using apps which need root permission.

Hello guys, last friday I successfully installed Froyo on my HTC HD2 and now I want to use the application MarketAccess but it throws an error when I try to emule the T-Mobile USA SIM(actually any that I try to emule), it says:
You need root(superuser) to use this application. It looks like "su" is not available on your device.
Please root your phone and ensure that "su" works fine.
I have superuser installed, could anyone tell me if my phone is rooted if not how to do it with this phone(remember that is does not have native Android) or how to make the "su" work and grant root permissions to my applications.
Thanks in advance
same issue
I have the same problem, I already have SuperUser on the ROM i flashed on the device, but it seems it's not rooted.
I checked for one click solutions to root it, like Z4Root, Universal Androot and SuperOneClick, but I couldn't find any confirmation that these work for a non-native Android device like the HD2 and I really don't want to brick my phone.
Help, please?
Open up super user and let the su binary get updated, or you can d/l z4 root.
I actually used z4root and worked perfectly
hi everybodye sorry for the question but im new on this, well i have a htc hd2 from tmobile, i install android nand, following directions of a forum from here, everything is working good, i install setcpu from market and it do not let me configure it,so i install root check and it said is NOT rooted, my question is how can i root my phone,, please help.. thanx a lot and sorry if my question is stupid for some of you guys
As long as you have hspl you should be rooted. I would check to make sure you have setcpu superuser permission
Sent from my HTC HD2 using XDA Premium App
thanx so much for you answer and not make fun of me, well yes i installed hspl3, and when it done it said we hack it, but root checker still say, sorry you dont have root access can you please tell me how to check superuser permission, thanx so much,,
Look in your app tray and see if you have a Superuser icon. If you do then ckick in it and then find where it says allow superuser access. Most Andriod ROMs for tbe HD2 are already rooted when you install them. If you do not have a Superuser icon then Google "z4root" it is a one click root app that works. You will have to dowmload it unzip/extract the apk and copy it to your SD card and then use a file manager to navigate to the apk file and open it this will install the app to your phone. This is also what is known as "sideloading" in Andriod. Open the app and click on Root now button and it will root your phone.
Using a cpu overclock app has a downside as well as the upside of a faster response when in use.
The downside is that when downclocked and idle, the phone can take a couple of seconds to clock up to the operating speeds required - on some roms its more noticable than others. but a good solid ROM does not need this boost and there a few on here
please help
