I had recently changed the lock sound on the Mytouch 4G and I cant remember how to do it, I remember using the terminal emulator and running a couple of commands but I cant remember.
Does anyone know the commands to copy something to the root of the phone.
Also, phone is perm rooted
just use root explorer
It comes back and says that it is a read only, so does that mean that the perma root didnt work?

No it means you have to click the button in the upper right that says mount r/w...so that you can manipulate files..

I went through the screens on the Root Explorer and I am able to do R/W on the root but when I go into system/media/ui it wont let me change it from R/O to R/W, when I did it earlier today I ran it through the terminal, the reason its gone is because I only had the temp root and it repaired itself when I restarted my phone
my phone does not even make a lock or unlock sound.... the option is selected in sound settings and the volume is up, but no sound is made....
I tried some other commands and still a no go, does anyone know the command to mount the drive and move the file over

So i get to the gscript point and cpoc works fine but when i go to run noreboot and oshitttt i get this message... "delete_module vision oc" failed"... I put the vision OC file on the root directory... first folder as it opens not within a folder on the SD card... so i don't get why it is not working?
Please help!
PS. I am using this video to walk me through it.

I have the same problem. I have SetCPU with custom frequencies, but it is not moving from 806MHz, even though all my profiles are set with higher values.
I have perma-root using the VISIONary process and I am able to access SU. Superuser also is set to ALLOW SetCPu, I can't find anything that can over clock it.
Just so you know I get to 6:17 in the video and that where I run into the problem.

Well i was going throgh the comments on the youtube vid and I saw someone that had the OTA version of the vision-oc-ko file and he had to rename the file name and take out all the BS number that... that file had and re name it just like vision_co.ko and it worked for him so i tried it and it worked for me!!!!!!!!!!! sweet now quandrant will run but when I try and get results it says servce call failed.. I dont have service right now so maybe that has something to do with it... i will check it out but i am happy i finally got it overclocked!!!!!!!!
Thanks to anyone that posted to help!

what if i reroot because of needing warranty service or something?
Root puts three or four files on your phone and runs an exploit to get superuser or "root" access then one of those programs keeps root and the other helps do root activities like with the shell. So adding a few files to your phone will not ruin your setup.
Now the things you do to your phone after you get root may mess up your current configuration so the question is do you really need root?

You are correct since you really like your current config might I suggest as soon as you root you install koush's bootstrap and install it and go into recovery and make a backup before you remove apps either with root explorer, terminal emulator etc. That way if something does go wrong while you tweak you can always restore the backup you made. Instructions for all of this is in the forums or google.

I'm a little confused guys.
I pretty much followed the instructions for part 1 and 2 here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=12631216&postcount=2911
I flashed my phone back to 1.2.6 then ran the before update script. Then updated, then ran the after update script. I am able to download .apk files and run them without being pestered. But I tried to run boot strap, and nothing would happen when i hit "Recovery boot". I know the gignger blur installation instructions says to make sure I'm plugged in to an AC charger so I did. Didn't work. I plugged it into my car charger. Didn't work. Tried my USB cable connected to the PC for sh*ts and giggles, but still nothing.
So I though maybe my phone isn't rooted properly? I googled a little and found this: http://androidforums.com/32282-post3.html
I installed the terminal app and ran su and it said permission denied. But I think I am able to access /data/app-private (I type in cd /data/app-private and it doesn't do anything so I assume I'm in the app-private directory, no?)
...So I guess I'm just here to ask, am I going in the right direction to check to see if my phone is rooted? Any other way of checking to see if I'm rooted correctly? I'm not exactly looking for the easy way, I'm looking for the correct way.
Any help is appreciated =)
If you are properly rooted, there will be an application called Superuser in your app tray.

I have that app, how come when I su in terminal it denies me permission?
Open up Superuser and make sure it is in your "allow" list.

When I open up superuser it only says "No apps in list" under my Apps tab. And hitting the menu button (the button with the 4 squares) does nothing whenI'm in the Apps tab.
Strange... So when you type "su" in the terminal, does it give you a pop-up to allow superuser access?

Nope, just says "Permission denied"
Try switching usb settings from none to storage then back to none, and also uncheck usb debug and recheck it. I know when I updated my phone to restore root that is what I had to do or I would get premission denied.

Still no luck, I think I might have lost root ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=12685034&postcount=3303 )
How do you even loose root?
Yes, you don't have root. I was in a similar situation when I first tried the Mac version of aRoot. There was a bug in the script so I didn't actually get rooted, but it installed superuser anyway so I thought I was. Anything that requires root will simply fail.

How did you fix your problem?
I got a second hand Hd2 and i was wondering how could i tell if it was rooted or not so i know what i have to do to put android on it.
-thanks
If you flashed any HSPL then you have rooted your phone.
I didn't do anything to it yet, but i was wondering if there was a way to find out if it was rooted already. i wasn't sure if the guy i bought it from did anything to it
Is it running android

No, rooted means to have read/write priveliges in the root filesystem in Android, If your phone's ROM is not rooted, you will not be able to modify, copy, paste or delete files in such folders as /system, /dev, etc. in the phone's internal memory, even with such a great app as Root Explorer. HSPL has nothing to do with this, it is a modified SPL, or bootloader, which is the software which loads your operating system, or whatever it is programmed to load at bootup, such as MAGLDR or clk.
Most if not all the ROMs here in the XDA forums come pre-rooted btw.
If you want to know if your phone is rooted, here's an easy way. Go into the Android market and install Terminal Emulator. Open it and type 'su' without the quote marks. If the little symbol where you're typing turns from a '$' to a '#', then you have root access, your ROM is rooted. If it stays a '$', you're not rooted and should search for an app called Z4Root.

So I've been having a problem with many custom roms. I'm unable to write to /system. Titanium backup says I have plenty of free space but I'm unable to restore system apps. Also, when I try to install the anti-theft part of the avast anti-virus app it says there's no space to write to. But the stock rom that I have rooted will work fine.
I've only been able to get one custom rom to work: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2313469 but I was unable to change the dpi on it as far as I could tell. I've tried slim rom, BeanStock, KangaBean (4.3), and one more that I can't seem to remember at the moment.
I've attached some screenshots below so you can see what I mean.
Anyway, if anyone has any suggestions that would be great. I just got my S4 so I realize I may just be missing some obvious thing.
Thanks
In root explorer, did you click the button up top that says mount r/w? I noticed in your screen shot it was currently mounted as r/o.

No, I actually seem to be able to write files fine with root explorer. I was just showing that there's plenty of free space.
Have you tried pulling the battery for 15+min, it fixed mine awhile back. OS sometime gets confused
