I jumped the gun installed the original and the latest 2.1 leaks, so I am not rooted. I just recently learned how to use the ADB push feature in the tools of the Android SDK to install a custom boot animation and I'm stoked at how awesome it works.
I was wondering what all you can use the ADB push feature for on a NON-rooted Eris. Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks devs for all your hard work!
Adding custom boot images.
Thanks jcase! I was seriously hoping that there was there would be other things that I could use it for. Oh well, guess I'll just wait until the Official OTA 2.1 is released, then wait until you genius devs crack it open and get it rooted. Thanks again!
You can make a script to quickly install apps in mass.
#!/bin/sh
echo "Installing apps..."
./adb install apps/app1.apk
echo "app1 Installed."
./adb install apps/app2.apk
echo "app2 Installed."
./adb install apps/app3.apk
echo "app3 Installed."
./adb install apps/app4.apk
echo "app4 Installed."
./adb install apps/app5.apk
echo "app5 Installed."

I know this is an old thread, but I just got a replacement eris and i'm trying to avoid signing into the market before I root (for a completely clean install, probably doesn't matter, I'm just funny like that), in which case, I want to install 1-click root before I do anything. So, if someone could point me in the right direction to do an adb install on an un-rooted eris, that would be great.

No need to bypass activation, skip account setup, Settings->Applications->Unknown sources, Settings->Applications->Development->USB Debugging.
Then this plus this:
Code:
adb install erisone010.apk
You are making unnecessary work for yourself - if you want a Nandroid backup of the factory ROM in a near virginal state, root the phone with OneClick (so that a custom recovery gets installed) - NOT including insallation of the engtools (or rootme, whatever it is called), and then perform a factory reset afterwards. (That will clear accounts & account data from the phone, and you can then boot to the recovery to make a backup of the virginal ROM).

That's basically what I ended up doing (got impatient and didn't wait for a reply), except I did sign in to the market and picked up 1-click that way. Thanks for your reply though, to my question asked in an attempt to feed my OCD tendencies.

maybe give the app root access in superuser permissions
To clarify...
Click the "Allow" or "Always Allow" button. This shows up when an application is trying to perform a function that needs root access. Think of it like Windows Vista/7's UAC.

I got that with a BeHero rom, Villain shows some buttons to choose from, couldn't get it work with that rom, don't know why.
I had this problem with multiple roms, Just remember to do the proper method.

Use the ROM as you normally would, if you get the same problem, try another ROM..
Hi folks,
I want to be able to uninstall all the bloatware that my DHD came with so I guess I need to root it. However in this regard I don't need a perm root? As I don't need to change the UI etc, just remove a bunch of unecessary apps.
I've tried using the rooting guide here but as an anroid newb the instuctions are too vague for me to follow and my attempts to infer what the authors mean have resulted in failure (no brick tho! ).
So, I have visionary and supersuer both installed and I tried the temp root and perm root function in visionary (which is granted supersuer permissions from the superuser app in the process) but when I go back to "manage applications" the uninstall button for all the bloatware apps is still greyed out.
Any ideas?
EDIT: Typing "su" in terminal emulator results in "#" so that appears to be working correctly. But still no go on uninstalling the apps. I don't care about not getting updates over the air as I value having greater control over my device more. Besides, I can always flash it manually.

Hello 718 ,
I've read something about uninstall unwanted applications
in the adb description "Using ADB.pdf" and "How to install adb.pdf".
Hope it helps you, I'm in the searching and reading phase of owning
the HTC DHD (some weeks ago - and android newbee) -
it's a jungle of information here on xda-developers

Use titanium backup or root explorer.
sent from my dhd
Thanks for the replies.
So far i've started using titanium backup as it seems easier to use then having to install adb shell. Although I installed that as well and start learning some basic commands.
For now, titanium seems to be the answer to my issue as it allowing me to uninstall a whole heap of useless apps. But I think in the next few days of tinkering i'm gonna come to the conclusion that I want even greater control. Which seems to indicate falshing an entirely defferent rom to HTC sense. Although the keyboard on the sense UI is second to none IMO but smoething tells me that there's a .apk file out there with that in it
So, I've rooted my Desire HD with VISIONary+ and mounted /system as r/w using that "Mount system r/w" app from market, to move some of the stock apps from the Desire HD (and to hopefully solve that Facebook for Android problem I described in another thread). I used Root Explorer to move the apps to a folder on the SD card, turned the phone off and back on, and the apps were back?
Is this because I haven't done that "S-Off" thing, does the quick boot option need to be disabled (even though I turned the phone off entirely) or something else, in order to keep the apps that I moved, from respawning in /system/app?
Thanks in advance (and sorry for borrowing your thread, OP).
I don't think i've got s-off (whatever that means lol) and I was able to uninstall the crapware using titanium backup. My process was somewhat convoluted but I guess it boiled down to 2 things. Visionary and Superuser apps.
Now I don't think my phone is completely rooted because when I go to the default "manage applications" list in the stock UI the uninstall button for the crapware system apps is still greyed out. But for when I run titanium backup, it gets granted superuser acces from the superuser app and is then able to uninstall all the bloatware.
I would like to know of a sure fire way whether my phone is completely rooted or not though. Namely because I think I want to start using completely different roms.
I temprooted using visionary+ then opened titanium back up to uninstall unwanted apps. But which are safe to remove? I want to get rid of Facebook, Friendstream and a few others but Titanium warns me they are system components and my phone may not work after uninstalling them....
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA App
I got rid of all of that (twitter, myspace etc rubbish). Even some native htc ones that I know are ancilliary. You just have to use a bit of logic as to what might require what. Crap like friend stream or whatever wuold most likey rely on such apps. But since I uninstalled that too... you get the idea
I was gonna get rid of sound hound as well but it's actually kinda useful. One of the few apps I left on it from the factory.
EDIT: I've also been using titanium to backup more usefull HTC system apps so that when I do eventually move to a new rom, i can just install them later. Things like the HTC clock, office apps, calender, messaging etc are superior to stock android equivalents.
WTF...
I had to remove my sim card for something and when I reinserted it and turned on the phone all the apps I 'removed' were back as if nothing ever happened!
Did I miss something because I don't remember reading anywhere that that would happen if you rebooted your phone!
Agrrrr...I need some help >.<
If your DHD does not have S-OFF after every reboot it will restore everything you removed.
Ahh, thnaks for that. I've used the S-off radio tool to disable the security now. Hopefully those rubbish apps will stay away (tested with reboot and it seems so). However, now that i've rooted my phone and switched to S-off I am still curious as to why system apps are still unable to be uninstalled through the in-built android app manager.
Also, I attempted to use the clockworkrecovery mod to install new ROMS and so wanted to backup my current ROM install before trying new ones but the phone just goes to a black screen with a pic of a mobile phone with a red exclamation point in a triangle.
...unless of course after all this it STILL isn't rooted. In which case I think I might start looking seriously at the Nexus. *sigh*
The built-in app manager will not let you remove system apps regardless of being rooted. Install Titanium Backup from the market. This will remove it.
Download ROM Manager from the market, and "Flash Recovery" again, some users have issues with it working first time.
That did the trick! Thanks very much
One last question then, if I flash a new ROM e.g. cyanogenMOD, will that completely replace HTC sense and thus allow me to use the built in app manager to remove apps because...there won't be anymore 'system' apps?

I have root + Radio S-Off but every restart the phone causes my default Smart Keyboard deactive. Do you have any idea about that, is it spesific for an app or a general problem?
I am asking because I did not do ENG S-Off I have done only Radio S-Off.
With S-ON every reboot will result in ANY change to the system being restored, You make system changes permanent you need S-OFF.
As for your keyboard being disabled, not sure about that. Installing & using an additional keyboard shouldn't make any system changes.

Even on CM system apps cannot be uninstalled through the Android App Manager. It's the way its designed, why would the system allow you to remove the "Android System" or "Dialer". Imagine the chaos if you uninstalled something you actually needed and Android let you do it.
You need to use 3rd Party apps (Titanium Backup) to do this, or ADB

If you ever want to make use of ota updates (eg to improve camera performance) then none of the 'bloatware' apps are safe to remove as removing them will prevent the ota update installing.

As the tittle says getting control over your DHD, so this might be the right thread, allthough might be off topic to op's post...
Anyway my last device was a N900 and that was fully rooted with no permission limits. I've learned that the rooted DHD has some limits and i've run into one. On the N900 i used the terminal for allmost anything, flashing, copying, installing, removing etc. and would like to do so here on the DHD. My problem is that i'm trying to flash the kernel/zImage through terminal emulater but get this error - failed with error: -1. -
Any help would be great
Sorry to go off topic...
You cannot flash a kernel using terminal emulator. If you want to flash manually, get android sdk and use fastboot.exe in platform-tools to flash.
1. Reboot your device while holding vol-, it will go to bootloader
2. Select fastboot in bootloader
3. In your PC, type: "fastboot.exe flash zimage c:\any_folder\zImage"
4. Type: "fastboot.exe reboot"
After that you have to remount your DHD's system to rw state: "mount -o remount,rw /dev/block/mmcblk0p25 /system", and manually push wifi module to /system/lib/modules/ using adb. If you do not do that, your wifi does not work. You need ENG S-OFF.

I used the above to root my Hero. Followed all the instructions and when I booted into recovery, I flashed CM 6.1. I booted into CM 6.1 with no problems, I then installed Set CPU and granted it Super User Permissions (assuming this means I'm definately rooted), but when I plugged my phone into my computer and turned on USB storage, I only see 3 folders. Is this normal?

I don't know if your post is descriptive enough to answer your question. It sounds like you have root, but the folder thing is probably unrelated? Can you go into your sd card using the "file manager" app that I *think* is included with 6.1? If you can access your sd that way and it has more than 3 folders, than my guess is that something else is going on. Do you have the correct sync/drivers/sdk on your PC?

The three folders you see are fat, ext, and swap partitions on your sdcard. That has nothing to do with root.

Either use Droid explorer or something similiar. That will allow access to the internal memory. There's some other programs for your computer that do the same thing, but that's the one I know off the top of my head. I use adb shell rm xxxxxx/xxxxxx/xxx to remove what I don't need and adb push to put stuff on the phone or sdcard.

Okay what Rooting process are you trying to follow? And in what step are you.
The main reason you are getting that error is the file "su" doesn't exist.... but if you answer the question above we can help you more.

Make sure you have ADB Debugging turned on
- Settings > applications > development
Make sure you have the SD Card mounted to the computer
Make sure you changed your ADB target folder to the one store that rooting package.
Those would be the three places i'd start if i were you.
However alot of people will contest that this method is simpler with a high percentage of "" when you are done with the rooting process.

Being that you are using a Mac you might run into some problems along the road. I've see quite a few "problematic" threads pop up regarding Mac and Android's ADB not working correctly.
you could also try This Method < it doesn't require the use of a PC @ all.
I did that other method and it seems to have worked.
Now do I continue with the walkthrough of installing cyanogen now that the phone is rooted?

Do you have a Super User icon on your screen?
If you do
-Downloaded Terminal Emulator from the market.
- go to it and type "su" you should get a window asking you to approve the Super User request.
If the dollar sign ($) changes to a pound (#) sign then you are rooted.
next turn off the phone and hold the volume down rocker and the power button that will boot into engineering scree (HBoot) look on the top line and see if you have "s=off"...
If the s=off then you are perma rooted w/o the security check. temp root with VISIONary one last time, then install Clockwork ROM Manager and change the Recovery Image to 3.0.0.06 (Here or Here) From their you can do what you want to do regarding Cyanogen(mod).
*The reason i recommend flashing 3.0.0.6 prior to flashing it ROMs is it handles 2.2 (ext3) and 2.3 (ext4) style roms. Where every other version is either or, not both.
I sucessfully installed cyanogen, and everything seems to be working correctly, but i must not have installed the google apps, and i do have the market place to download them again.
Where can i get those from?
EDIT: I found them.

wipe (factory reset) before flashing the g/apps via the recovery image.
I had found them before, but the market wasn't working, and I was trying to sync my contacts back to the phone from my gmail account. I didn't do a factory reset through, so I'm trying again. Hopefully it works this time.
I'm guessing the market isn't working because I haven't signed in with my gmail account.
Any idea on how to set that back up?
