Alright,
I'm starting to feel like a complete fool, as I seem to have lost all of the knowledge or ability to solve complications that I had gained from working with XDAndroid on my phone.
I'm trying to use the wpa_supplicant directions as mentioned in the other thread I started in the wrong section, here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=930163
I need either adb access(Which I can't get working right[Edit: This may be issues from the first time I installed it in win7, I'll keep fiddling with this, but I'd still love to see others chime in on terminal usage]) or terminal access to get in and modify the file to allow ad-hoc tethering.
However, when I run terminal emulator, it force closes with "Sorry! The application Terminal Emulator (process com.android.term) has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again."
Has anyone been able to get any terminal to run on the adam? Everything I've read says that it's pretty much superuser access already, but that could be wrong.
All help appreciated.
You should be changing the supplicant on your phone not Adam to get Wifi tether to function right...
But to get Android Terminal to function with root on Adam you need to be root and unlocked by using the Eden Plus guide or some similar method. Once you have root and unlock you will need superuser app to give root permissions to Android Terminal. Then Android Terminal should function as expected.
Forgot to add, you could also use ADB instead of Android Terminal on Adam. Would probably give you the same thing but might be easier to use.
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
I rooted my phone with the G2 walkthrough in the forums. It had me install Superuser Permissions, which worked at first. Now when I try to use something that required root access it just tells me I do not have root access. When I open the super user program, it just sits at a blank black screen. When I open up a new app(like the 3 different screenshot apps I downloaded) the apps open and tell me I do not have root access. I do have root access because I can get Titanium Backup to run and it also requires root access. I cannot remove/uninstall Superuser Permissions to swap it with another working super user app.
I saw this article http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=682828
I tried to install that app from the market and it fails to install(I assume due to the fact that I already have a super user app running). That said I cannot remove the installed app(thats not working). In that article it says to open terminal and type a "remount" command that may be different for each phone. I tried the command that they suggested(for his Nexus) but it did not seem to work on my G2.
So what do I do? Does anyone know what command I need to run from terminal to complete those directions to get a functioning Superuser app working? Does anyone know how to fix the existing "Superuser Permissions" app? Any suggestions?
try a reboot

I already have. The Superuser Permissions app still only comes up with a black screen. No options when I hit "menu" and it does continue to stay active after I back out to the home screen as it does show up in the Task Killer list. That said, I am not getting a pop up that asks if I want to give an app superuser access. The apps that I alraedy had given permissions to(like Titanium Backup) still work fine, but no new app that require SU access will work.
Any other suggestions.

Have you tried clearing data for the Superuser app? See if that resets it to a working state.
did you do a perma root or temp root? If you did the Temp root, then the reboot caused you to lose your root. You need to re temp root then do the perma root.

Its perm root. I still have the temp root app on the SD card(not installed) but its perm rooted.

Well.. not only did that not work, it made it worse. Now my titanium backup(that I have accessed daily for weeks since I rooted my phone) tells me I am not rooted after I cleared the data from the super user program...
And...
Now when I go to terminal and type su I dont get the # anymore.. it says permission denied...
AND
I tried using Visionary for a temp root, and after it trys to temp root, I still cant access SU from terminal.
I have not updated my OS to my knowledge.
Any ideas?
Anyone have any insight into this??
At this point my phone basically isnt rooted anymore. I have even tried visionary and it seems to temp root but nothing works.. I can get SU in terminal etc....
Superuser Permissions is still installed but doesnt work.
I tried using Visionary to remove root. It says my phone doesnt appear to be rooted.
Soo at this point, my phone has none of the advantages of being rooted, yet it is technically rooted(because I cant re-root it the same way using visionary and terminal).
What can I do??
Try installing a new ROM if you already have clockwork installed.
I still seem to have root access, in that I can continue to flash roms, use ShootMe screengrabber, and even get the "#" in Terminal Emulator when typing in SU. But when I use either one of my wireless hotspot apps, Barnacle and/or Wireless Tether, I get a "cannot launch, you may not have SU access."
Have you seen this before? I just installed Virtuous Fusion. Is there such thing as "partial rooting?"

No, there's no such thing. If apps complain that they can't get root - it means that they're either not given privileges, or they don't ask for root access in a way compatible with the SU in the specific ROM.
try uninstalling and reinstalling superuser app sometime itll not recognize it and ignore it
Just to add to the above comment. SU is just an app. Its possible for a rom to not have it (though all devs/chefs always add it before releasing the rom) and its not likely but if so, all apps that need root access will complain. So yeah just try installing SU from market and you should be good.

Here's my problem,
I had the Droid 2 with stock ROM rooted and all was well. My phone installed the Gingerbread ROM (4.5.601) when Verizon pushed it out a few days ago. Thankfully, this did not totally jack up my phone. However, I no longer have root access.
I have tried three different 1 click root methods for the Gingerbread ROM but none of them worked. I tried un-rooting and re-rooting with one clicks and that's not working. I tried manually removing the Superuser app and rooting, no joy.
The one clicks are connecting with the phone but the phone does not seem to want to allow access to change files.
Before anyone asks, YES I have the drivers installed and the connection with the PC is good. I have attempted to run the 1 click roots in "charge only" AND "PC Mode". Debugging is on and I am set to allow non-market applications.
Suggestions?
Thanks,
Tracker
Update: in trying to manually remove old superuser file with adb shell, I just can't seem to get the # prompt to execute the commands even after running Pete Souza's exploits.
suggestions?
Hope somebody comes up with an answer - same thing happened to me.
did you use the d3 root method? thats the only one that works 100% on gingerbread.
Yes. I used the "Pete's Motorola Root Tools.exe" program on Win7:
psouza4.com/droid3/#root
I also followed the "Droid X Notes" section at the bottom even though I have the D2 and I'm not able to get the "adb shell" ending with #.
SOS!!
Thank you for such a clear, concise post! I am in the same boat with no luck. I used the one click root for D3 which says it will work for a number of Android phones, including the D2 Global, but is NOT working with my D2. I have run the application two times and both times it went through the entire process, rebooted my phone three times and said success but...no success... I am sooo bummed as the only way I get internet at home is via Wireless Tether which I can no longer use because I do not have Root access!
Desperate in Cool (the name of the town I live in), I need help!!
Thanks in advance,
Jeni
Yeah, still no joy here. I've retried everything that I mentioned in the OP and still can't get the # so I can execute an un-root and/or re-root as described on Pete's website.
I've tried it on both a Win XP and a Win 7 machine.
Anyone have any suggestions? It appears the D2 Gingerbread firmware doesn't want to allow permissions to modify certain portions that were allowed before.
Success
I didn't so much fix the problem as hit it with a bat until it shattered, then rebuilt it.
My fix was to SFB the phone back to Froyo with factory defaults, activate it with Verizon (at this point I have no software added or accounts set up on it so obviously no root), apply the OTA update to GB, perform the 1-click Root which worked this time, then setup my google accounts and install Titanium Backup which I had previously used, and restored all my data from it.
At this point I'm getting some force-close errors which I'm sure are related to the Titanium restore but I was able to ADB Shell in and SU so I know I have rooted it properly and at the very least I will do another clean wipe and restore individual applications one at a time so I know which aren't working right and go from there.
Good luck everyone!

I kinda figured that this would work. I'm trying to avoid a full nuke of the phone, but so far it appears that this is the only work around.
Anyone else got a plan?
Only option I was going to provide was SBF to 2.3.2 with RSDlite and re-flash the OTA, then run the Droid3 exploit.
I have a D2G and I had the exact same problem. I did an OTA upgrade without un-rooting (I was earlier rooted using z4root). I had a long discussion with Pete Souza, the guy who created 1-Click root. And he agreed to help me out. He did a remote to my computer and rooted my D2G. I am going to try to reproduce all the steps here.
Situation: Was rooted using z4root. Had Superuser and su binary both on my phone but root was not recognized by titanium Backup, SetCPU, etc.
Resolution:
Run Psouza's 1-cick root http://www.psouza4.com/droid3 (ensure u have motorola drivers)
First try the Root, and if that does not work only then continue with the following steps. I got an error after step 3 which said the phone cannot be rooted (or something like that). The first two steps were a success.
Now that the root is not working, run the Temp ADB Root from the same app. In my case even that failed - but Pete said that ignore the failure message.
Now, I need to delete the su and busybox which are leftovers from the earlier root.
Open a command prompt in the support_files folder where adb is located.
Get into the shell by typing: "adb shell"
type "/system/xbin/su"
This will pop-up a prompt on your phone to allow Superuser access - just click Okay.
The $ sign will change to #
Now type "busybox mount -o remount,rw /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system"
now type "cd /system/bin" This is where your su and busybox are.
Type "rm su"
Type "rm busybox"
After this just exit out of everything and run the 1-click root again. It should work now.

IMO this instruction should be stickied.
This worked perfectly on my wife's D2G. Rooted Gingerbread = a good start to the day!
Awesome! Thanks!
Just wanted to say I think i love you...this worked for me after two tries on my Droid 2.
First time I was able to remove su and busybox...then when I applied the one click root again, it said there were a bunch of errors but still succeeded. After the reboot I didn't get superuser access yet so I went through deleting su and busybox again (but busybox wasn't found)
The second time i decided to restart my phone before running the script again and when attempting to verify if su was still installed by going into adb shell...it said my phone was already rooted.
Thanks!!
Awesome!
Thanks! This worked for me as well! (after additional reboot)
Good Info but one problem for me
Since I did the OTA Gingerbread, I cannot get into debugging mode. I have uninstalled the Moto drivers & reinstalled using my administrator profile on Windows 7. I have also sbf my phone. Wipe cache. Factory reset. Activate service (NOT download or sync w/ google). OTA Gingerbread. This is on a regualr D2. Anyone have any ideas on how I can get into debugging mode. Otherwise I can't do anything.
Thank you!
I am so glad I found this post and the directions posted by drumster. I had previously used z4root and had not unrooted before allowing the Gingerbread upgrade. Pete's application fixed my Droid 2 on the first attempt; no other steps were needed.
Thanks again,
Andrew
awesome
psouzas 1 click worked for me. Droid 2. previously had rooted with deroot method until it updated by itself to gingerbread which broke root.
enabled usb debugging
in pc mode, clicked on souza's link and followed instructions
i have win 7 64 bit computer
It works
I just got it to work. I was on rooted froyo. Sbf'd back to stock froyo. Downloaded and installed OTA G bread. Then I had to run the D3 one click root method twice but the 2nd time it worked fine.
