When some Apps are requireing a root permission, a root request window used to poped up and I can choose "Allow" or “Deny".
But now it only poped with a blank window and there is no any bottons below! What happened?? I don't know how to reinstall Superuser Permissions, because I even can't uninstall it in the program manager.
I've got the same problem. I'm running 'TheOfficial DONUT AOSP' rom on a G1.
---
I finally decided to reinstall the rom and now it works again. But I still would like to know what broke it and/or how to fix it.
the Same
Me too :'(
resolved!
Hahaaa~~~ I resolved the problem!
Just use adb,first connect your phone to the PC, PC will install adb driver automatically(if not please search drivers on Google), open command prompt,type:
adb shell mount -o rw,remount -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system
adb push su /system/bin/
adb shell chmod 4755 /system/bin/su
adb shell reboot
All done! The su and adb file is in the attachment,enjoy~

Great work man, thanks!
When I run the "adb shell mount -o rw,remount -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system" command I get "mount: Operation not permitted"
I've run the SuperOneClick and it always sticks on loading superuser.apk. If I unplug the USB reset the debug, it says my Droid is rooted, but it isn't.
UPDATE: Never mind... I just rooted the old fashion way and it worked...scary but it worked.
" 'adb' is not recognized as an internal or external comand "

TEMP ROOT Instructions:
Download http://tinyw.in/1lI
Unzip if required and put in your ADB folder
Launch command prompt and navigate to your ADB folder
adb push fre3vo /data/local/tmp/
adb shell
chmod 777 /data/local/tmp/fre3vo
/data/local/tmp/fre3vo -debug -start fbb58a00 -end FFFFFFFF (if this doesn't work, try rebooting phone)
Download these 2 files here and put them in your ADB directory: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=14927732#post14927732
exit back to command prompt if you aren't there already
adb push Superuser3-beta1.apk /data/app/
adb push su-3.0-alpha7 /data/local/tmp
adb shell (should now see # instead of $)
cd /data/local/tmp
chmod 777 su-3.0-alpha7
./su-3.0-alpha7
cd /
mount -o remount,rw -t rootfs rootfs /
rm vendor
mkdir vendor
mkdir vendor/bin
cat /data/local/tmp/su-3.0-alpha7 > /vendor/bin/su
chmod 4755 /vendor/bin/su
You now have temp root. Disregard any notification about outdated SU binary. Root will go away if you reboot. If you reboot your phone you can obtain root again by just running the following
adb shell
chmod 777 /data/local/tmp/fre3vo
/data/local/tmp/fre3vo -debug -start fbb58a00 -end FFFFFFFF
adb shell (should now see # instead of $)
cd /data/local/tmp
chmod 777 su-3.0-alpha7
./su-3.0-alpha7
cd /
mount -o remount,rw -t rootfs rootfs /
rm vendor
mkdir vendor
mkdir vendor/bin
cat /data/local/tmp/su-3.0-alpha7 > /vendor/bin/su
chmod 4755 /vendor/bin/su
I haven't found a way to re-root after rebooting without connecting to a PC
Type su and see if it gives you root permissions
Sent from my MiuiSpeedy
says su: not found.
You are saying you cannot install the superuser app? From reading in the Evo3D forums, you could install Superuser, even without being rooted, but it obviously won't allow root access, until you run a root exploit.
Try rebooting the phone, installing superuser, run fre3vo, and then try the adb shell, and su method.
This is getting interesting. Hopefully you are on to something.

Okay let me clarify
I can install SU but it wouldn't install the binaries. I did all of the above. Says su: not found.
I then tried something else.
# mount -o remount,rw -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system
# cat /system/bin/sh > /system/bin/su
# chmod 4755 /system/bin/su
I was then able to get the SU binaries to install but Titanium Backup says:
"Busybox works but the "su" command does not elevate to root: "whoami" reports "app_135" instead of root/uid 0.
then su from the command prompt was saying "link_image[1935]: 3160 missing essential tablesCANNOT LINK EXECUTABLE" and now back to su: not found again....
I don't know enough about linux commands to give you any real info. Like in the other thread, talk to agrabren, to see what he has to say.

Yeah I tweeted him with what I could provide with 160 characters. Just waiting now.
Well here's a tweet he put out a couple of hours ago.

Yeah he posted that right after I gave him the memory address for the exploit. Just means that I did it the manual way through debugging. At least I think so... hopefully soon!
Good news, everybody! I have successfully acquired temp root on my Shift!
First, fre3vo has to be pointed at the right address. After copying it over to my phone, I did "adb shell" and then ran it like so:
/data/local/tmp/fre3vo -debug -start fbb58a00 -end FFFFFFFF
That printed out a message that it found an exploit and kicked me out of the shell. After doing "adb shell" again, I got a command prompt. I tried installing the 2.3.6.3 version of Superuser, but it complained about being unable to install "su"; I tried to find a separate su binary and copy it over manually, but it didn't work due to a linker error.
After searching around, I found a beta version of Superuser 3:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=14927732#post14927732
First I uninstalled the old version of Superuser and then used adb to install the new one from that thread. I ran it and it said it was unable to install su, so I downloaded the version of su provided there and installed it manually. The process went something like:
Code:
adb push su-3.0-alpha7 /data/local/tmp
adb shell
# cd /data/local/tmp
# chmod 4755 su-3.0-alpha7
# ./su-3.0-alpha7
# mount -o remount,rw -t ext3 /dev/block/mmcblk0p26 /system
# cat su-3.0-alpha7 > /system/bin/su
# chmod 4755 /system/bin/su
I don't know if explicitly running "./su-3.0-alpha7" is necessary, it just seemed like a good idea at the time. I don't know if everybody's block device will be named "mmcblk0p26", I used "mount" to figure out what was mounted at /system.
Anyway, after all that was done, I ran Superuser again and it didn't complain. To test it out, I started up Wireless Tether. It asked me for superuser permissions, which I granted it, and it's working fine.
Root successful!
Good job!!
Sent from my Speedy HTC EVO shift on XDA Premium app
I followed those steps exactly and got what I would call a partial root. Some of the 'you need root' errors are gone but "su" still results in 'not found' even though "mkdir su" results in 'file exists.'
mmcblk0p26 exists on this unit.
The weirdest part is that Adfree will accept the device as rooted and with superuser but says it can't find a partition to modify. And after a reboot root is definitely gone.
I think you're on to it but it isn't quite there yet.
It seems to be fully temprooted to me; I have to redo it if I reboot, but otherwise it's working perfectly. After following the steps I listed above, running "ls -l /system/bin/su" should produce this output:
Code:
# ls -l /system/bin/su
ls -l /system/bin/su
-rwsr-xr-x root root 22228 2011-07-25 19:14 su
If it says "No such file or directory" instead, then the su binary isn't in the right place.
Looking back over what I wrote, I think I left out a step -- if you were following what I listed exactly, it probably won't work, because I forgot to change to the /data/local/tmp directory. I'll update that...
Update: after playing around with it for a while, something is definitely not quite right. Everything works fine at first; I've tested Wireless Tether and Titanium Backup and they're both fine. After leaving my phone for a while and coming back, though, applications that try to get root access mysteriously fail. The dialog prompt doesn't even appear.
Going back into the adb shell, /system/bin/su is still there, but trying to run "su" causes this to happen:
Code:
# su
su
link_image[1935]: 3802 missing essential tablesCANNOT LINK EXECUTABLE
But if I use cat to overwrite su and then chmod it again, everything works. su must somehow be getting modified by something else and replaced with a bad version... but I'm not sure where to look.
I caught something like that.
I think there should be a chmod 777 su-3.0-alpha7 after cd /data/local/tmp

YES! I have root! I was able to install a screenshot app and test it this is amazing progress! Thanks for that.
So now when I reboot, you have to do the entire thing again? SU and all?

Yes, every time you reboot you'll have to redo the whole process, including running fre3vo and then copying su into /system/bin. Hopefully somebody will figure out a permanent root soon.
Wow those SU binaries are disappearing before I even reboot! Already gone and I haven't rebooted the phone
I think I had that issue too. I just couldn't believe the files just disappeared and thought I did something wrong somewhere.
Would a logcat help anyone at all? Anything I should look for?
I always have problems to root official 2.3 with automatic ways, and found that this caused from some adb miscommunication.
So this is how to do it manual, in case automatic ways stacked.
First install adb-sdk and add its path to system variables, so to don't have to go to adb' s path before you can run it.
Then download doomlord' s rooting tool and extract it to drive C:\DoomLordRoot.v3.

I got messages for sending 149, then 189 zerglings, then messages about not being able to mount, find or write to directories.
It seems like it wasn't able to get root access to be able to run its process.

When I rooted ,I backup and delete some some flexT9 input file, then I find out I can not recive SMS after root .
So I unroot ,now I get OTA update but it's says error about I miss some flexT9 file.I can not restore file without root.
Now I can never root again ,and I can not even UPDATE OTA because system fille ar change.
What can I do NOW ?
Just make a full restore, root, ota rootkeeper, backup, temp unroot, OTA, re-root with OTA-Rootkeeper, install your apps.
I try restore, but sitll the same,I can't root...
Do you use OTA RootKeeper to unroot?
If so, you have a su-backup in /system which you an use to get the full root back.
Even when RootKeeper fails to restore, you an do in the shell.

How to get it back? How to do in the shell? I am new on Android. Thanks!
Download the zip which works before OTA2
Extract it to /sdcard/Download
Install Termial Emulator Form market ("Android Terminal Emulator", ConnectBot or so)
Start it and type: /system/su-backup
Prompt change to #
Type:
mount -o rw,remount /system
rm /system/xbin/su
rm /system/bin/su
dd if=/system/su-backup of=/system/xbin/su
ln -s /system/xbin/su /system/bin/su
chmod 6755 /system/xbin/su
rm /system/xbin/busybox
dd if=/sdcard/Download/busybox of=/system/xbin/busybox
chmod 755 /system/xbin/busybox
/system/xbin/busybox --install /system/xbin/
dd if=/sdcard/Download/Superuser.apk of=/system/app/Superuser.apk
chmod 644 /system/app/Superuser.apk
mount -o ro,remount /system
exit
exit
Terminate the Emulator.
I have some trouble with rerooting. I've just done the following:
Rooted the TPT
Installed RootKeeper
Backup up root
Temp unroot
Installed OTA2
Tried to reroot - no success
RootKeeper says "filesystem supports root protection" and "protected su copy available"When clicking Restore root it says "root su restored", but the checklist still says its not rooted (titanium backup says the same)
Installed superuser from market
Tried to reroot again - still no success
Installed Terminal Emulator
Wrote /system/su-backup - and received "Permission denied"
Wrote mount -o rw,remount /system - and received "mount: Operation not permitted"
Any suggestions on how to get root back?
@krister461:

I did try, see step 9-11.
I do have /system/su-backup, but I get permission denied when trying to use it from the terminal window.
type:
cd /system
ls -l su-backup
Owner should be: root
Group should be: root
Permissions have to be: rwsr-sr-w
If so - all is good and you have made a mistake.
If Not - :-(
Following your instructions, my screen says:
-rwsr-sr-x root root
and then mentions the Rootkeeper backup and it's size.
Am I okay?

Mine says the same.
Sorry for the w at the last character of the Permissions.
My fault. You are right. The x is correct.
I made another mistake.
Type cd /system before /system/su-backup
/system is not in PATH.
Good luck.
So our permissions are correct? We are okay? I'm sorry, just new to root and adb. Thanks
Yes all is okay. Only you have to start with
cd /system
in the shell. That's all.
I still get permission denied :-S
Just checked: cd /system is not necessary.
/system/su-backup gives you root (and
the #-prompt).
@krister461:
Did you type "/system/su-backup"?
The shell is case sensitive.
Is filesize the same as the su in the
zipfile?
Maybe your terminal emulator did not work properly.
The two that I mentioned are okay.
I am using Android Terminal Emulator, and writing it correctly. If I misspell it it says "not found".
Thanks for your help so far though

I really want this thing rooted. How do one go about figuring out how to root it? I assume because of it's lack of popularity, no one has done it, but I'm willing to do the grunt work if there's some sort of guide or assistance. I changed over to DoCoMo with the GS4 and now have this paperweight that I would want to actually use.

Can you tell me more about this step
Confirm?
Can confirm if the latest instructions have worked for your 201m?
That your rooted and bootloader unlock.
Thanks a bunch!
Boot loader is unlocked and CWM is installed. Initially I still
Had temp root so I flashed slim beans xt907 rom. It works. I'm unable to test data with it as I don't have a SoftBank sim. Also I still can't connect to the play store.

Thanks for the feedback.
Still awaiting more confirmation with others. It's a step forward though.
I've had my phone for almost a year now. If I cancel my softbank service or run the contract to the end I want an option to root and unlock the bootloader in the future.
could u provide more friendly filehost?
i can't find the download button there
Root! (temp root that is...)
I'm just posting to confirm I've rooted my 201m (xt902).
Props to sbeaber4!
From my limited knowledge since it's temp root if I restart my phone I lose root access...
Next step in the future unlock bootloader.
Peace y'all.
Quick Tip

Found that if I a did restart my phone root was lost but I found a quick fix without going through the whole process again.
Just do these steps
unlock_security_module（temp root）
adb shell
[email protected]:/ $ cd /data/local/tmp/
[email protected]:/data/local/tmp $ ./unlock_security_module
Just enter those three steps then you're back to temp root
Also you can just to a quick reboot with link2sd or any other app that just reboots the android ui. You don't have to enter commands every time you reboot unless it's a full reboot.

Noob on XDA, and rooted a MT4G in the past wth help from these forums.
Can someone help translate the kanji for rooting the 201M? Will rooting allow you to change the device location and prevent random all Japanese pop-up alerts/"are you sure" messages? Thanks for any help

Once CWM is online you might be able to flash a VZW or Aussie stock ROM. Actually, you could probably flash CM... That'll fix the Japanese popups. Of course, it also could very possibly brick it. Proper precautions must be made... On my tablet at the moment, does anyone know if sbf.droid-developers has 902 images?
