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, how do i know if i successfully rooted my desire hd?? I installed visionary r14 and hit temp root, then i did perm root.... The phone rebooted and the superuser icon was installed. So what happens next???
I recently got my desire hd on Vodafone and was disappointed to find some hideous Vodafone bloatware installed (vodafone 360) I rightly or wrongly assumed that if i rooted my phone i would be able to remove the vodafone junk? However when i go into the applications manager the uninstall icon is still greyed out even though i have perm rooted (i think)
So, am i rooted? is there something else i needed to do first before i can remove these apps that i want rid of?
If it helps, my vodafone branded phone is installed with android version: 2.2 - software number: 1.39.161.1
hope some can help me
cheers

Well, you could run the S-OFF tools, install rom manager and recovery, and install a custom rom.
Would get you up to 2.2.1 and a clean, fast phone
Download Terminal emulator from the market en typ in SU, if it says Terminal emulator got SuperUser rights you're rooted
Also, you could take a look on the android development thread, you can learn quite a bit over there

yep sounds like your rooted, but at the moment with S-ON you are unable to make permanent changes to /system, thus you can't remove system apps to do this you need to S-OFF instructions here
I used root checker - from the market. Works a treat and its free
Thanks for the replies....
So, i just ran the One click Radio S-OFF tool So, should i now be in a position to remove system apps?? i ask as although i successfully rooted, and ran the radio s-off tool the apps i would like to remove still have the 'uninstall' button greyed out......
I have read plenty of threads in the development forum but the more i've read the more confused i have become!!
At some point i would like to put a different rom on here, but hey, i'll just take it one step at a time for now, so for now, i just want rid of the vodafone and stock apps etc.
Thanks for the help so far.....
Steve
If you type:
su
into terminal emulator and press enter, your phone is rooted if a
#
comes onto the screen

You cannot remove system apps from the "manage applications" menu.
The simplest way, now that you have root and s-off is to use an app called Titanium Backup from the market. It uses root privileges to allow you to remove any app.
You can also use Root Explorer to navigate to /system/app and delete the relevant .apk files manually. Use with caution.
The third way is to download the android sdk platform tools and use adb via a command line on your pc.
adb remount (gives write access to phone)
adb shell ls /system/app (lists contents of system app directory)
adb shell rm /system/app/junk.apk (removes junk.apk or the relevant file)

Great, i used Titanium Backup and now i'm free of the junk! Many thanks.
Sooooo..... Should i decide to flash a rom, such as leedroid, what is my next step??
Steps performed so far:
1. Perm Rooted using Visionary R14
2. S-Off using One click Radio S-OFF tool
3. I have removed some system apps using Titanium Backup.
Is my next step to download Rom Manager, do a Clockwork mod backup and then flash leedroid??
Or,
Do i need to also do ENG S-Off first? using One Click ENG S-OFF?
And do i have to flash a different radio before putting one of these custom roms on there?
As a reminder, this is the software running on mine at the moment....
vodafone branded phone is installed with;
Android Version: 2.2
Baseband Version: 12.28b.60.140eU_26.03.02.26_M
Build Number: 1.39.161.1 CL278886 release-keys
Software Number: 1.39.161.1
Browser Version: Webkit 3.1
After i got to where you are i done the ENG s-off the rom manager flashed clockwork. I then backed up current state then i flashed leedroid

Thanks for the reply, I will give it a go later when I've got 5 mins spare.

Just thought of a question i maybe should of asked sooner.....
Should i have done the 'Gold Card' thing before i rooted, and did S-Off??
Or is it ok to do it now? (i've still not added any new roms yet) Or do i even need to do it at all?
since i've already root, what i hope for is I should had never need to use gold card!
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
im having exactly the same problem doing my head in ,i installed a nand gingerbread rom that is faultless it cracked it and gave me a super user icon however the superuser never opens and when i install certain programmes they need root access and its saying my phone is not rooted ive checked with a rooting app and it says no root ive tried several methods that has not worked ie superoneclick gingerbreak nothing seems to work
any help would be appreciated
im not a novice ive flashed many devices etc cant seem to figure out why i havent got root though
^ try a different ROM
almost all are rooted already
This does not work with Droid X System Version .621.
(Information on this post was taken from Pete's website: http://www.psouza4.com/Bionic/)
NOTE: If you were rooted on the original OTA and took the update to .602 and lost root, read the 'Droid X' notes under the how-to.

How to: One Click Root for Windows 7/Vista
1. Your phone must be connected via USB data cable to your computer and be recognized.
2. If your phone is connected, but not recognized, you may need to install one of these software drivers:
-Windows universal 32-bit Motorola drivers version 5.2.0
-Windows universal 64-bit Motorola drivers version 5.2.0
3. Download this one-click root package: PetesMotorolaRootTools_v1.08.zip
4. Extract the contents of the one-click root package to a new folder on your computer.
5. Make sure USB Debugging is enabled on your device. This should be under Settings -> Applications -> Development -> USB Debugging.
6. From the new folder on your computer, double-click on Pete's_Motrola_Root_Tools.exe to begin the root process.
7. Click 'Root My Phone'.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Droid X Note:
Droid X Notes
Your phone may need to be in either charging mode or PC mode or you may need to toggle it a number of times for the device to recognized correctly.
If you are trying to root from the OTA Gingerbread update and you were previously rooted, you will probably experience problems with this root method because of the pre-existence of busybox and superuser.apk. For that reason, you may need to attempt both the script method (for Windows XP users) and program executable method (Windows Vista/7 users). If you are still having problems, please follow these instructions:
Open a Command Prompt in the folder where you extracted the one-click root package (see instructions for rooting). If you are using Windows 7, you can just use Shift+Right-Click on the folder you extracted the package and choose to "Open a command prompt here". For other operating systems or versions of Windows, you may require some DOS experience or need to Google how to change directories.
In the command prompt, type the following command:
adb shell
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
If you receive any kind of error, then you may not be in the folder where you extracted ADB.exe or you may need to reboot your computer, your phone, or check the connection. You should receive an ADB prompt ending with either a # or a $.
If the line ends with a $, then run the one-click exploit for Windows XP (even if you have Windows Vista or 7) and only complete step 1.
When you have adb shell ending with a #, type the following commands:
mount -o remount,rw /dev/block/system /system
rm /system/bin/su
rm /system/xbin/su
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Ignore any messages that warn you about the file not being found/missing. We're removing old copies of su/superuser which are causing this one-click root method to fail.
(credit: KevlarGibs)
Additionally, during the parts of the one-click root that reboot your phone, your phone will most likely reboot into recovery instead of into the standard Android lock screen. If this is the case, simply unplug the cable and reboot the phone manually. When you are finished rebooting, plug the phone back in again. Some people have had to reboot their PC too.
Finally, some users have mentioned that the root isn't taking affect right away for all apps. Eventually, after several reboots, the phone finally takes root. We're not sure why this is (I don't have a Droid X -- I'm just re-posting this information for brevity).
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Please try the Windows Vista/7 method first! It will work better for most Windows XP users.
Only use this method if the other has not worked yet.

Awesome
Great tool, thanks so much!
Confirmed OTA
Works fine!!!
Awesome! Works perfectly!
Nice, I may give it a go (may sbf to 602 for a clean start)
D.
I SBF'd to .602 on my DX and the root was successful but I can't get my phone to boot into CWM Recovery. I tried following the special DX instructions but can't get the ADB Shell to show anything but a $.
Whats next for me to try to get this working?
Hi I'm trying to unroot my x2 and it keeps saying Error: you are missing adb.exe, which was packaged with this program. The adb.exe is in the same folder as all of the other files i extracted to my restore folder. Any ideas?
I will try this at thanksgiving for my dad's X
It was rooted froyo and got the ota GB and wont root. Hopefully this works

Your preinstall is full. With Root Explorer go to preinstall/app/ and delete something (NFS). Reflash Clockwork mod. Then try again.

Were you previously rooted on .602? If so, you may need to follow the Droid X notes.

This worked perfectly on my Droid X....thanks for making it so easy!!
Finally worked up the cajones to use Pete's Tools and rooted my DX. *whew*
Doing a complete TiBu right now. Couple quick questions.......
1. Is CWM installed? If so, how does one access. If not, ROM Manager perhaps?
2. Renamed blurupdater_VZW.apk to .bak to block updates
3. Any "landmines" I should NOT uninstall?
Sorry if I sound noobish but this is my only phone number and am proceeding cautiously.
Thanks

First of all, let me reassure you that anything you do to your phone can be reversed with a simple SBF. ^_^
Install ClockworkMod Recovery through Droid 2 Bootstrapper, then use ROM Manager to update it to the latest version.
There is plenty of things that you can remove that will cause issues =P It's pretty much trial and error, there are lists you can look up that will tell you what can and can't be removed, but regardless, always make a backup in CWM.

Droid 2 Bootstrapper via Android Market will do it, one presumes?

I amaze myself sometimes. lol
Has anyone flashed working CWM via ROM Manager?
Can't say I have interest in flashing ROMs. Just want CWM for nandroid system backups actually.
STRANGE!
DroidX, 2.3.3, original Moto ROM, LauncherPro+
First time I did Pete's it worked perfectly.
After .605 OTA it had a problem, so I re-Peted.
Each time Pete tried to reboot the phone, I had to pull the battery. Eventually, the process finished and I had a rooted Droid. It's fast, stable, has fine battery life. TitaniumPro, QuickBoot, and other root-only tools work properly. Various things ask for Superuser permission, and I give it, and they work properly.
But the SUPERUSER app has disappeared. When I go to Market, it says "Installed". It doesn't appear on my app list, and was never frozen. It's there, but invisible.
Everything else works, so should I just leave it alone?

You should be able to find Superuser by using the search key. It's not really important to have, it just manages the superuser permissions. I think of it as a background app.

Cause GB probably won't work.
Try this;
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1723376
Make sure you have the drivers installed, USB Debugging to On.
After, use root explorer or file manager to set system To RW.

There are other methods like Blackthund3r's root. But this works for me.
Thanks I will try that out

the link had nothing to do with rooting it was about overclocking
Yeah...I was wondering the same thing...I haven't tried blackthund3rs method yet, but the Simple version didn't work.
Odd thing was it completed, and said it was done...but when I installed Titanium BU, it said no root access. I installed Term Emulator as well, and this confirmed no Root access...yet
I'll give it a try later, but am still searching for a method that works on OTA ICS build # 1.033.00_PA_CUS1
Blackthunder3r's tools are excellent with very good support.. Automated and easy.
I tried the Blackthunder3r's root and it works fine.. now that im rooted im trying to move apps2sd.. anyone able to do this
