Database Users

Thank you!

I'm sure you guys here at XDA don't hear it enough so let me just say thanks. I've spent the last hour changing my G1 from RC30 to JF 1.51. it took most of the time figuring out that the terminal program I was using wasn't giving me root, I did some smart using of the "search" function and realized I had to use pterminal.apk. but to say the least I'm up to date with cupcake, and I have root. You might want to update the how-to thread. Now just to get it so I can run apps of my sdcard... search away!

thats good to hear people rooting their phone without having to start like 10 threads on how they did it or what they need to do.

getting it setup is a little harder then I'd hoped, I'm trying to figure out how to set it up so my terminal has root access. I thought I would still have root, however the terminal that comes with JF 1.51 is just giving me the $ sign.

what happens when you press su in the terminal??
its supposed to ask you if you wanna allow it or deny it and it goes on the whitelist program.

Thanks! I missed that step somewhere. I am unfortunately a windows users, so I don't have the know-how with linux, it's an unfortunate blite on my record. I'm trying though! lol

i myself am a windows user also... most of the steps here are for windows, unless otherwise noted.
but yeah when you enter su in the terminal for the first time it should ask you for permission

crap, I was using the appstosd2 program and now my phone is stuck on the g1 screen... a recovery with wipe didn't help either.

Permission issues with su and rom .3

Hey guys,
Im new to Android and after being a BlackBerry user for 8 years, anyway heres my issue.
1. I did the root rom per the instructions...no problem
2. flashed the recovery and have that working...no problem
3. downloaded the .3 rom with the built in busybox and su...Here's where things get confussing for me.
I tried to use adb and it asks me (are you root?), tried adb remount and got (operation not permitted) the usb debug is on and working and the su app on the phone maintains a black screen....(I think this is not right...)
Then I closed out the current cmd window...opened a fresh cmd window and typed>adb shell and got $, then i entered su and got # from here im stuck, what are the commands to get back to adb shell and su also how do I get the whitelist permissions working...
In short adb shell worked fine with the original root rom, I'm sure its an operator error any help is appreciated.

SO if I understood correctly you already have v3 installed?
If you do check on your phone its probably asking you for permission on the phone when you click on always allow the command should go thru adb.
make sure you have debuggin on otherwise all you will get is a black screen when su permission pops up.

There are plenty around... seriously google it. But, this specific issue I just experienced. Seems on the custom ROM that is out (EvilEris) the SU request screen doesn't work right off the bat. I went and used an app on the device to request root (terminal) then when the black screen pops up, hit back or home, or action. As the phone is basically frozen at this point it prompted me to forceclose the superuser.apk. I did. Once forceclosed, it worked fine.

adb shell
su
look at phone, click allways all

Or just download Terminal Emulator from Market.
open it up.
Type su.
Hit allow/always allow.
Now try it for other stuff (like wireless tether) and see if it pops up instead of a black screen.

haha..I simply went to settings>Applications>Development and checked the USB debugging mode.... [read it on another thread...should have read before I posted...haha]

Froyo ROM

Hi there,
I made a preliminary port of Froyo for the Liquid.
It needs the Donut radio rom, so it won't work on LiquidE.
You can test it on an Eclair radio, but usb and GSM/3G won't work.
IHMO, It works fine for daily use (I do use it daily.), current known bugs:
-Random lines appearing on the screen on refresh
-No wifi
-Wiping data kills radio
-No tethering
-Unsigned
Hint: to enable App2SD to all apps (by default, only some apps accept it), do
Code:
pm setInstallLocation 2
This will install all apps to SD, you can move them back to phone.
Please use http://code.google.com/p/acer-liquid-froyo/issues/list as bugtracker
(Donate link in my sig also works for my Liquiid's work )
Here's the downlink link:
http://code.google.com/p/acer-liquid-froyo/downloads/detail?name=Froyo.zip
Update:
Full: http://www.megaupload.com/?d=S9P799GO
Update: http://www.megaupload.com/?d=UPAF7YD8
-880MHz
-ramzswap
-USB OTG (seems not fully working)
-working iptables (droidwall works)
-usbnet (tethering kind of works)
-changed H264 resolution limit to 720p
To get tethering working, do echo 1 > /sys/class/usb_composite/rndis/enable
Then go in the appropriate menu and tick the usb tethering option.
The results are random, I don't know why yet. The released sources might help understanding that.

How can I enable apps2sd? Where have I to insert code? I'm a noob and don't understand, I need a step by step sequence.
Thanks.

Install connectbot
Launch it on the "local" protocol, do
su
(the su manager will ask for permission, allow it)
pm setInstallLocation 2
And it's done.

Ok, i'm doing it, it create a partition for apps?
After doing what you posted above, all apps go in my sd automatically?
Connectbot asked me a nickname, i put su, then un screen i writed pm setInstallLocation 2, then i saw the word "killed", is normal?
Superuser never asked me permissions.
Edit: retried more times and finally su requested permissions, i allowed but after insert the code, i read "killed"...

You must put su on the console, not as a nickname, the nickname doesn't mean anything.

sorry, but i'm not good, i don't understand how to do it, i put code, but when i put "2", i read proces denied. I give up...

Weird..check on malex recovery to see if your device is rooted, without root you cant run superuser command's, but since your running phhfroyo it should come already rooted...

desire z root : " su permission denied"

hello !
I'm new here and newbie in general. What is more, I'm french !
My desire z and I would like a root, but the uberroot method, using visionary, stops for me at the temroot step with this message : su permission denied
So i'd like to use the "clean" method ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=843014 )
but it's a bit difficult to understand why it doesn't work either !
Aaargh !

This works for just about any phone, give it a try...

G2 is not one of them
try this
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=801206
there are like 2 or 3 methods
pretty straight forward.

thanks, let's read that.

The most up-to-date method is in the Wiki - http://forum.xda-developers.com/wik...cess_.28Permanent_Root_.2F_.22Permaroot.22.29
However, you don't have the 1.72 ROM do you ? Because that needs a different procedure, due to HTC closing down some of the previously-exploited security loopholes - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=905261

I carefully avoided installing the 1.72 !
I'm still "su permission denied" right now, and try to multisearch the website before asking more questions.

Well, it seems like I won't solve this by myself.
Thanks, Steviewevie
I installed sdk and usb drivers on my computer. Now, the question is : why does nothing happen when I use the cmd and write : " adb push su /sdcard/su " ?!!!!

I'm finally root and s-off, thanks to the "bad" visionary method !
What's the risk exactly with visionary ?

Were you typing that command from your PC's command prompt ? What error message did you get ? Some people do an "adb shell" first and then run that adb, and that's not right because then you're running it on your phone and you'll get an error.

Well, it seems to have a much higher chance of ending up stuck in a boot loop compared to other methods. But if you are back up and working again then it was obviously fine for you !

Visionary and Z4root ...or any root app is harmless. S-off is when you may find a few thin ice moments.... but that's what backups are for. Rom manager or titanum backup work just fine for me.
G2 CM6.1.1 (free)

ok. if I understand, as I'm alive, let's rock then !

so how did you get past permission denied?
damn, i am stuck at the permission denied phase in terminal emulator after typing su then hitting enter.
its seems like the person above figure it out and posted back to say they figured it out, but neglected to give any insight as to how they resolved the issue, save for:
"I'm finally root and s-off, thanks to the "bad" visionary method !
What's the risk exactly with visionary ?"
so anybody can help please?
i don't know what is meant by the "bad" visionary method. i'm pretty sure i used visionary r14 and the instructions found at:
the unlockr site for the how to get permanent root issue
i did seem to have s-off indicated when i held down the volume down button and the start button. i am never quite sure how to restart the phone when i get to that point, i think i just held the power button down, then an option for restart or shut down or something appeared and i toggled the volume switch down to that and pressed the start button and the phone restarted.
one other thing, when i go back into visionary and attempt to follow the last instructions:
"Open Visionary and Uncheck TempRoot on Boot and click Temproot Now.
12. Then select Attempt Perm Root Now and the phone should reboot.
13. Once the phone reboots, open Terminal Emulator on the phone and type su and hit enter. If you get the # symbol, you have permanent root access and S-OFF, enjoy!"
i don't know where i should leave the "set system r/w after root" item checked (which it is) the subheading for that option reads:
"system partiion will be mounted r/w after root process completes
by the way, I am using a fat32 formatted microsd card that is class 4 or so and 32gb that i got off walmart.com for about 100 bucks.
peace

I am new at this and I try VisonaryPlus and my phone keep hanging when I do temproot and I get permission denied. I try almost all the option I found online including the one user the Terminal Emulator and still cannot root. Can some please help.

Im sorry I do not have that device so I cant help much. If you are rooted already i am positive that this will work. Atleast on 3 different samsung devices it has work for me each time. Make sure you are typing in exactly what it says.....
open the terminal emulator and type this in exactly! Dont typr in the word enter. Thats just a reminder to hit enter after each command.
su (enter)
am start com.sec.hiddenmenu/.Program_Edit (enter)
and you should get a pop up screen and scroll down to the bottom and the Service Programming Code will be at the bottom. Write down the 6 digit SPC code and thats your MSL when you goto your phone keypad and dial ##3282##. Hit edit and type in that 6 digit code and your in!!!! Not sure on all devices but even with my new device Samsung Galaxy J727P with 7.0 still works perfectly! am start com.sec.hiddenmenu/.Program_Edit
((({ NO SPACES WHEN TYPING IN THIS PART com.sec.hiddenmenu/.Program_Edit })))
I CLEARLY SEE WHY!!!!!!! you did not type /.Program_Edit

You need to type it in EXACTLY THE SAME AS I TYPE IT IN THE THREAD> YOU ARE NOT TYPING IT IN CORRECTLY THATS WHY!!!!! THATS WHY ITS NOT WORKING AND YOU ARE GETTING A ERROR EVERYTIME. PAY VERY CLOSE ATTENTION WHEN TYPING IT IN. YOU NEED TO TYPE IT IN THE EXACT WAY I WROTE IT! Its nothing I did or that this dont work! I can see clearly in your photo you are not typing it in correctly and thats your problem. Clear as day you are not typing it in right. This is a error on your part. All you have to do is copy the commands in EXACTLY as I wrote it. (enters) are just reminders to hit the enter button....,... It wsorks great trust me! Its your fault, you are not typing it in correctly. I know it works and can see clearly that you are not typing it in correctly. I can see why in your screenshot!

Wow that last part turned quickly.

There are no spaces. I re-checked it multiple times.

I'm able to still get mine. I just can't change my apn files that led me to finding how to get my Msl. I need to know how to access the apn file. Not the apn.xml files and oldapn.xml file. If you read them files in text editor it has a comment in green (NOTEPAD++) Tell you it has to match file in directory common/something I can't recall. Any insight?
