I have allready temprooted with R14
I am trying to permroot, but for some reason i can not get Terminal Emulator to run, everytime I start it, it just crashes/wont open.
Thanks for any help

Which terminal emulator program are you using? While this may not fix your problem, it may workaround if you use a different emulator program.
Have you installed RomManager? If so, you could run fix permissions to try to fix resolve the FC issue as well. I am not sure how well that works with temproot but it is worth a try.

screenshot and a cache cleaner. i do see there's a superuser permission app on my build but when i go to the terminal it says im still not root.
well i did alot of searching today and i don't think you can unlock this as technically we don't have a g1 or hero phone. we are running an image from a sd card. i still wonder how i can get root access to run certain apps? has anybody else addressed this issue because i can't find an answer.

i did, it says permission denied!
well i think what im looking for is to become a superuser to be able to run certain market apps such as screenshot and a cache cleaner. ive searched everywhere here and on ppcgeeks with no luck. i did see something about a script that can allow certain apps at launch to run in superuser mode, is there anything like that at all? sorry if i keep asking but it's bugging me to no end and im sorta stuck. how did you guys get apps to run in root mode? is there a command i need to enter int he terminal? i do know i tried su and it said permission denied for me?
by the way what is the superuser permissions app i see on my build of cupcake? i launch it and it does nothing?

Using adb will always give you root access, for windows you need to install the adb drivers from my site. Remember we are using a read only root filesystem so apps that modify the root fs won't work. su in the ion build will also give you root.
Hi All,
I viewed the video posted by the Unrevoeked team a little while back about their EVO 4G root and it definitely caught my attention.

I just noticed today they posted an update on the thread and a link to:
http://unrevoked.com/
If you follow the site they let you download unrevoked.apk
If this APK running in some way means we can root. Well It installs successfully and when you actually run it it says "done." So I believe it does what it is suppose to do on the Eris, I just dont know what steps to take from their.
I have tried installed 2 different superuser apks and neither seems to work. Not sure if I should be doing something else.
PS I am using unrooted OTA

By meaning neither one of them "work" you mean when you press on the app and all you see is a black screen thats all it will do until a program that requires root requires permission to do whatever the app was designed to do. Ohh usb debugging in setting->applications->Development-> USB debugging should be checked.
Hey,
I tested out ADB its not working and by not working I mean neither prompt for superuser permission.
doesnt work
It doesn't work sadly. The Dev's blog is shadowmite. com/blog/ (without the space) if you are looking for any followups though.
It looks like all it does is try and replace/write /system/bin/su but I can't entirely tell. This app is supposed to run something on boot so you may want to try rebooting. Also, it creates a log: /data/DxDrm/unrevoked.log

there are two versions of terminal emulator on the market... download the one called "Android Terminal Emulator"
Will there be a one click root for this phone? Using Visionary and Terminal makes the phone lag which makes me not want to go through the process of installing Iced Glacier.
Which leads to my next question... Simply having Terminal and Visionary installed is enough to cause the phone to lag without as much as a temp root - why?

Thatsa not causing your phone to lag, bloatware might be, which you can get rid of after root.
And i've been wqorking on a one click root for a while now. Its not gonna happen. To many obsticles, and the current rooting process is quite simple.

Its not the bloatware. When I install those two on the phone it lags. When I take those programs off the phone, everything is fine.

There are some reports of the phone lagging after running VISIONary. But alot of people have not noticed it. After you have verified that s=off and rebooted the phone. Temp root one last time, then click perma-root and reboot. Your lag should be gone. My wife is running STOCK MySense Perma Rooted with a Engineering screen and has 0 (zero) lag.
But rooting process does not cause the phone to lag.
If you're that worried about visionary, use rage. Full directions can be found at
http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/index.php?title=TMobile_myTouch_4G:_Full_Update_Guide
download link for rage:
http://android.d3xt3r01.tk/cyanogen/common/gfree_temp-root.zip
adb push su /sdcard/su
adb push Superuser.apk /sdcard/Superuser.apk
adb push rage /data/local/tmp/rage
adb push busybox /data/local/tmp/busybox
adb push root /data/local/tmp/root
adb shell chmod 0755 /data/local/tmp/*
from terminal emulator run
/data/local/tmp/rage
Then follow directions for gfree
download from here http://android.d3xt3r01.tk/cyanogen/common/gfree_04.zip
adb push gfree /data/local
adb shell chmod 777 /data/local/gfree
from terminal emulator run
/data/local/gfree -f
sync
/data/local/tmp/root
sync
reboot, and you may have to run the rage package again to make root permanent. Not sure about this, its required with visionary, so it might be with rage as well. After reboot open term emulator and if you can get a su prompt, then your good, if not, run again.
I perm rooted with visionary and terminal on two different phones and have experienced no lag whatsoever. Just my 2¢.

Working one the one click, i've literally done it three time a day. No lag. Ever.
If you forget to check off the 2 items in visionary and try to redo it, it lags. Just pull the battery and start over. After root I took visionary off and have no lag.

OMG guys, listen: I install both of those programs. It lags. Period. I don't even have to start using them yet, simply installing them on my device cause the phone to lag. Whether or not you get lag is not the topic of this thread.
It was a yes or no question as to whether or not there was a one click root for this phone.

OK, i answered you, im working on it, it doesn't look good. Cant get the shell to stop crashing at the wrong point.
Also, gave you a root solution that doesn't need visionary. Solving your problem. No need to catch an attitude about it.

If by just installing the two programs causes your phone to crash. Then you installed two bad programs. either that or you have a [email protected]#$ ton of applications on your phone.
No need to get your panties in a bunch we are here trying to help. and remember you will get more with honey than with vinegar.
I understand that you two. But, when people keep replying with, "my phone doesn't lag comments" it gets kind of old.
I do not have a ton of apps on my phone and I keep the RAM cleared up as well.
Hi guys, I know there was a thread on here before about how to fix the fingerprint scanner after a bad restore in TiBU but for some reason those methods aren't working for me. I am using Terminal Emulator and when I enter in adb.exe shell it gives me an error and I can't get past there. Can someone please guide me through because I don't really feel like doing all this work to get back to 1.57 rooted again and then install all the extra goodies again as well

If you're using a terminal emulator on the phone it self then you skip the step that says adb.exe and just type su then everything else that follows
