I've downloaded redbend_ua and the clockwork recovery image. They're both currently on my sdcard's root. I'm trying to copy redbend_ua, but there's no 'cp' command???
I've been a Linux SysAdmin for over 5 years, so I'm comfortable on the command line. Where's cp? Is there an easy way to install bash 3?

I can't link the post with tapatalk, but detailed instructions are in a post labeled "Clockwork recovery no computer method"
By default the cp command isn't included in android... it is included in busybox. There is an app on the market, and the one click roots install it by default. Without busybox the cat command is used as so: cat > .

Wow... I'm embarrassed I didn't try that. I'm usually against piping cats but sfobv that's what is needed.

I did the one click root that does not require computer but now I needed to know how to unroot. I have asked several times within that thread but have not had an answer. Any help would be great...

There are a few ways to do it, including manually via something like the Terminal app and doing it on your phone itself, or you can use the one-click Root/Unroot application that TGA_Gunnman created to unroot your phone. Please read the following thread, which will provide you with all the info and instructions you need to unroot your phone.

If you want to do it manually from your Vibrant itself, here's the post that will show you how to do it. You'll need to download Terminal Emulator (free) and then follow the instructions: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=7374035&postcount=22

If you need to unroot for warranty purposes, i would suggest using ODIN

Well I did the one click root/unroot app that is posted on here but I only see the option to root. The aop says root/unroot so I figured it would be easy with the same app but I guess not?...
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
I'm not sure, i didnt use either app, but basically, to unroot, the app will do what is posted here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=728471
can be run through adb with these commands:
adb shell
su
rm -r /system/app/Superuser.apk
rm -r /system/xbin/busybox
rm -r /system/bin/su
Those are the apps/utils that are installed when you root. You just need to remove them, then reboot, then open terminal and type su, then you should get a "not found" error.
As far as the one click root/unroot app, im not sure.
I can't get into my phone (it turns on but it's fried) and I can't get ODIN or ADB to recognize it.
I've booted it into recovery mode and it's had all user data and cache wiped several times (not just by me). Will that take care of superuser/busybox or will it still appear rooted if I send it in? Thanks.
Is there such a thing?

If you think you could hang with typing some pretty long instructions using terminal emulator, it can be done manually. It's not for the faint of heart... and if you typed in the wrong bml and screw up your phone, it wouldn't be my fault.
If you can hang with that, then cool, I could post some instructions. All this is just so much easier though with the one click method.

Ok how long is it and how do I do it
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App
OK...
Firstly, root the phone with z4root from the market. Also get Astro file manager and Android Terminal Emulator from the market while you're there. Connectbot can also be used as a terminal.
Download the one click root 1.4.0 from noobnl to your phone. Extract the contents using Astro file manager. Copy the following files and put them on the root of your sdcard:
redbend_ua
zImage
Now open the terminal app, and type the following commands exactly:
Code:
su
cat /sdcard/redbend_ua > /data/local/tmp/redbend_ua
chmod 755 /data/local/tmp/redbend_ua
/data/local/tmp/redbend_ua restore /sdcard/zImage /dev/block/bml8
Your phone will reboot after the flash.
Remember to type the commands exactly.
Sent from my SPH-D700 using Tapatalk
OK, if you want to cleanup afterwards, go back into terminal and type the following commands:
Code:
su
rm /data/local/tmp/redbend_ua
I will encourage anyone who reads this to not play with redbend_ua unless you know what you are doing. These instructions will work if done exactly to the letter.
Once again, I take no responsibility if you hose your phone.

Also, make a backup with ClockworkMod after you install it, so you have your current rom saved, just in case.
Sent from my SPH-D700 using Tapatalk
Download rom manager, then use rom manager to download clockwork mod, then use astro which is a free app available in the market which is very useful, to open the sd card folder, then go to clockwork mod folder then copy recovery-update.zip and paste it to the root of your sd card and rename it just update. It's already a zip file so you don't have to type.zip. Now reboot into stock recovery and apply update.zip. Does not work with froyo. But if you down load the clockwork redirect, then you can install that once you get into clockwork recovery after you flash a froyo rom before you reboot. But using adb to flash the permanent clockwork kernel is the best way.....try this......update.zip method:
1. boot into ClockworkMod Recovery
2. Apply : http://www.sdx-downloads.com/devs/noobnl/clockworkmod2.5.1.0update-fixed.zip

How, how did you make it work!!!
I did the rooting process, but I'm not sure if it worked. I have the Superuser Permissions app if that counts for anything, which I have read means that I did root it correctly but I just want to double check.
Try downloading terminal emulator and type in "su" and if that box comes out of allow of don't allow click allow and u know if ur rooted

Ok I downloaded it typed su then it said allow or deny and i allowed, so I am rooted?
just to clarify, if youre gonna use Terminal to check Root run Terminal, allow permission, and type SU as Javi97100 states.... now if in Terminal it shows # sign after entering SU, then you have root.
i do believe however, if "Superuser Permissions" is in the apps list Root has been achieved

Why don't you think you did it right? Do you see the "superuser permissions" app in the app drawer/list? When you type "su" in the terminal emulator do you get a hash mark (#) instead of a $?
I think maybe he's talking about flashing a custom rom.

All You have to do is create a file named "enable_glass_lock" and put it in /data/local
If you need step by step on this I can tell you multiple ways (some easier then others, but the easy ones may cost for certain apps, such as root explorer)

Wtf really?
It should be there. What are you using to look?
Root explorer?
Try terminal. You can use any free terminal emulator from the market. Use thee commands
$ su
# ls
This should show a list of directories
then:
# CD data
# ls
Again a list should show up and local should be there.
You can also try to change to the local directory to see if you get any errors :
# CD local
If you can CD to local then it exists and you are either not looking properly or whatever app you are using doesn't see it. Terminal is sure fire way to see if it exists.
after a few hours in Irc with fellow continuiniuumers. i tested a gps fix on locking gps in navigation.

in adb enter these cmds:
adb shell mount -o remount,rw /dev/block/stl9 /system
adb push gps.conf /system/etc
adb shell reboot
or
what you need:
any file manager app that mounts the system r/w (read write)
aps.conf on sdcard
copy gps.conf from sdcard and go to /system/etc folder,
click mount r/w button or however you are mounting system r/w

ADB help
Hey, just a few questions. I'm brand new to ADB tools.
I got my cmd prompt to show me the serial of my device using adb devices. Im sure this means my adb tools are working. Ive only installed SDB tools and platform tools.
Do I need to download the 2.2 tools?
The problem is when I type in the first cmd i get a operation error.
2nd question is how do I get all of your gps.config code into the cmd prompt. Do I place the file somewhere on my computer for it to be recognized in your second cmd step.
Thanks in advanced.

You can push manually with a file manager. Its in op also.
Also the GPS. Conf is a file.

Ive tried a lot of different ways to get it to work and I think ive gotten to the point where it might be something else other than my commands. I just get a mountperation not permitted. The following is an example of what I typed. The $ sign was created after I typed in adb shell.
1 "adb shell
2 $mount -o remount,rw /dev/block/stl9 /system
3 mountperation not permitted"
Tell me I did something wrong.
You need to "su" before you try and mount -_-

I messed around with that for awhile and I think I got a little further. I seem to still get a little stuck after I mount.
1. /android-sdk/platform-tools>adb shell
2. $su
3. #mount -o remount,rw /dev/block/stl9 /system
4. mount -o remount,rw /dev/block/stl9 /system
5. #
On line 4 the cmd prompt just spits that back out at me and it ends up back at # again. How do I know it mounted and how do I begin the pushing process. My gps.conf file is in my platform-tools folder. Thanks!
Throw me a bone. Im so close! I can feel it!
How do I get gps.conf file?
link in OP just takes me to a page with a lot of text-No download.
Right click and click save as or save link as. It should automatically name it as gps.conf
