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

Great thanks. What would you recommend now, I flashed before but I didn't do it right I think. Should I try flashing again and what do I do before hand.

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.
Check out my guide here

This is how it looks
Code:
export PATH=/data/local/bin:$PATH
$ $su

Is that right?
Yes, you are rooted.

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.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=739300
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
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=739091
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.
Ok bear with me, this is the only the second phone i have rooted. I am having issues with the rom manager and root explorer.
The rom manager works, it does not force close, but when i ask it to do something like backup or install a rom, it does nothing, litterally i can click something else and same thing, it does nothing. I tried uninstalling and even factory reset. Still dont work.
Also the root explorer, it says "Root explorer has not yet manage to obtain root access. " i get that every time i restart it, same issue.
I have froyo 2.2 and used easy root http://www.unstableapps.com/?p=35
You need they droid x bootstrapper from the market to get into recovery, and titanium backup from market, hit problems & download busybox.
Sent from my DROIDX using XDA App
thanks, i'll get them now and report back.
Now do i put the bootstrap in the root of the sd and use a app installer?
ok, titanium backup said it wont work because the root access failed and after i downloaded busybox it wont install
I'd try the one-click root or and root, both have to be downloaded by pc.if u got the free bootstrap use an app installer.
Sent from my DROIDX using XDA App
still having the same issue, maybe its 2.2? is there a Root ROm?
Yeah, in rom manager. You have to be rooted 2.1. Have you ever flashed a sbf. I'd try unrooting with easy root then using another method

Almost sounds like the root didn't take properly

hey guys, I flashed back to stock and rerooted. Everything works now. Thanks guys,
My only gripe is i dont have flash anymore T_T
Are you on 2.1 or 2.2, you can find flash apk. right here on xda.
Sent from my DROIDX using XDA App
ahh cool. Now what if i use the 2.2 guide on here? Is it the 2.2 or do u think it was the root?
I'd say it was the root. Easiest way to get back to 2.2 would be Rom Manager. Look in download rom,2.1 to 2.2 root. Just make sure you flash the latest recovery in rom manager & the current boot strap which is 1.0.0.3
Sent from my DROIDX using XDA App
ok i redid everything, went back to 2.2 using all the methods, and i am still having issues, i dont know whats up with this
What method did you use to root. I messed up theming yesterday, had to sbf. Reroot & went back to 2.2 through rom manager. It went fine. What's it doing now?
Sent from my DROIDX using XDA App
dbl post sry
i used one click root. its doing the same thing as last time.
edit-----
I did a google search for a good 15 minutes and found this
1.) Run "adb shell"
2.) Run "/system/xbin/su"
*****Watch your screen for Superuser app to prompt for permission and click "allow" (if you go from $ to # without being asked for permission, continue with the next step
3.) Run "mount -o remount,rw /dev/block/system /system"
4.) Run "cp /system/xbin/su /system/bin/su"
5.) Run "chmod 4755 /system/bin/su"
[optional] Run "mount -o remount,ro /dev/block/system /system"

Everything works like a charm! If you root at 2.1 then go to 2.2, this will fix your problem
It says im rooted, but it isnt giving my SU persmission. Says its being Denied even with S = off, any idea what this could be?
We are not mind readers or phone whisperers here. Can you be more specific? Where does "it" "says" that you're denied su, term emulater? What rom? What actions did you take?
Install "Super User" from the market

I'd recommend downloading and running VISIONary.apk. make sure the set system to r/w AND run VISIONary.sh are both checked. Click "temp root", wait for it to finish the click "permaroot now". wait for the device to reboot and try it. That will install the "Super User" program, as option94 mentioned.. . just go to the Term Emulator and type "su" / hit enter, them make sure the $ changes to a #.
You guys are awesome, everything works!

Anyone knows how to split a boot.img file using Terminal Emulator on HD2?
There is a "split_bootimg.pl" script in the forum and wiki page but whenever I run this on Terminal Emulator it gives me either "permission denied" or "not found" error... Changing permissions for the files also does not help.
Are you using it with superuser permission?
try :
sudo split .....
or this one:
su *hit enter*
split ....

Tried both but doesn't work.. first one says not found... second one still give permission denied
Here's what I do:
1) Copy boot.img and split_bootimg.pl into a temp folder
2) Enter su (Gives me Terminal Emulator has been granted super user access...)
3) cd /temp folder
4) enter "./split_bootimg.pl boot.img"
5) Gives error "split_bootimg.pl: permission denied"
Go to superuser, and make sure that terminal is allowed.

Sure, it is in the attachments.. It is (supposedly) the script that allows splitting .
Rename split_bootimg.pl.zip to split_bootimg.pl (remove .zip)

Whenever i need to fix permissions i just reboot into recovery and do via the "advanced" options. Seems to work quicker in recovery as well.
its is quicker through rom manager like neidlinger said. but if you still want to do it through terminal, you have to type su first.

Yes you do, however, Virtuous Unity and many other ROMs don't contain the fix_permissions script, so your only option is to do it in recovery mode.
