uhm, btw there is no pop up that says "allow" when i type $ su and adb shell..
Are you referring to this? Did you successfully push image to /data/local/bin
adb push flash_image /data/local/bin/
adb shell
su
cd /data/local/bin/
chmod 755 flash_image
flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery-clockwork-3.0.0.6-click.img

(can't post a image link because im still new in here)
but still, super user denied.
Im sure youve tried stuff -- did you try clearing superuser cache -- refresh the slate and confirmed you did not miss the SU popup? just be sure the screen is on and look for it like 2 seconds after you hit enter after "adb shell"

The cyanogenmod update guide assumes that you have a rom with tattoo-hack loaded, and the path to su is not set.
Look in this post:

1.3 Tools you need
1.5 The manual way (recommended by the author)
2.3 How to flash/tools needed
Do the steps in 1.5, use the rom image and recovery from cyanogenmods wiki, in 2.3, do the second line, for flashing recovery. After that you can flash cyanogenMod from the recovery menu (Accessed by booting to recovery by holding home+power)

Thanks in advance, although i haven't tried it already.
I'll try it maybe on Wednesday..
Hope to flash the CyanogenMod 7.0.0-RC1.7003 2.3.3 Gingerbread..

So I've rooted and installed the new recovery on my incredible. I want to remove CityID now, forgot to after root. When I launch recovery and run adb devices it shows my device. I then run adb shell, immediately getting the # for su (instead of the $ prompt for non su access). I execute /system/bin/rm /system/app/CityID.apk as instructed by the wiki and get /sbin/sh: /system/bin/rm: not found. I browse to /system/bin and do a listing and see nothing.

clockworkmod recovery is root by default, there is no su cause you don't need it. # = su prompt versus $ = user prompt...

i have that problem right now. i have the original root(via loop.bat) in place, nothing else. i get the symbol "~#" too when i try to enter the adb shell while in recovery. adb devices show that my phone is attached and i am able to execute most commands. but there are some commands like "cd" that only work in the shell.
so we are going to need to resolve this eventually.
yes, you do not need su in recovery but you will need adb shell.
if there's anyone out there who can help us with this "~#" when typing adb shell in recovery, it would be greatly appreciated.
If you see that then that means you are using adb shell. No need for Su, but if you're removing apps etc mount the /system in the partitions menu of clockworkmod. Then cd /system/app to edit your apps.

can u boot in to recovery mode " vol up + power button " ? and dont use Clockworkmod recovery as its known to have issues with the eris.
use the other recovery.

Yes I can Boot into recovery thats it.

not sure u can push files into /data/local/
hopefully it will work and if not and all fails.
put a rom on sd card and boot into recovery and hopefully clockworkmod recovery will flash it.

Hi there...
I'm finally considering rooting, however all the guides lead to flashing a custom rom... but actually I don't want to flash a custom ROM, I want to keep everything as it is, with the difference that I (and preferably only I) can become super user on the shell when I need to do some changes (like fixing the stock widget bug in the internal database).
I've read this right now:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=724741
And they say I can flash this files called EngTools.zip
Does this also work on the Hero assuming the guide (PossibleGSMRoot or something... fromt he villainforum) works on my phone?
I don't even want to permanently have some kind of AmonRa blabla recovery boot image on my phone. If I need it while I get root that's fine, but I want to get rid of it afterwards. I really don't need root for any applications liek overclocking etc. etc. just for smaller dives into the files system and changes there via adb.

Hmmm. If you are on 2.1, then you can use the GSM root i posted over at VR. The recovery needs to be flashed to the phone though, so you can flash zips to the phone from there.
As for your wish to get rid of the patched recovery afterwards, you're missing out a lot, but if you can find the stock recovery img file, you can simply flash that using
"flash_image recovery FilenameHero.img" via the phone's shell or adb (once rooted, presuming you added the flash_image binary).
As for that file, I don't know, as I've never checked if that will work on the hero.
I'd be inclined to say DON'T TRY IT, since it will contain a kernel, and flashing the wrong kernel can brick your device's radio, essentially ruining it.
But if you locate the correct files for the GSM hero, and package them similarly, you could flash that onto your phone via recovery
Bear in mind the stock HTC ROM is basically full on the system partition, so you might have issues actually fitting the files on.
I've been a lurker for some time here but just before I had thought about exactly the same issue as OP... I always wondered why there's no way to just get root access temporarily. Most people told me I'd have to flash a custom ROM.
So today I finally looked into the matter and based on your (anon2122) post on VillainROM and the Eris exploits etc. I managed to do exactly what I wanted... and thought it's time to get an account...
I only really needed root for the Stock app currency issue: [HTTP]://forum[DOT]xda-developers[DOT]com/showthread[DOT]php?t=719149 which I was now able to fix.

1 Flashing a custom recovery image
1.1 Backup (1)
Code:
adb shell mkdir /data/local/backup
adb shell cat /data/local/rights/mid.txt > /data/local/backup/mid.txt
1.2 Uploading custom recovery image and image flashing tool and setting correct permissions
Code:
adb push recovery-RA-hero-v1.6.2.img /data/local/
adb push flash_image /data/local/
adb shell chmod 777 /data/local/recovery-RA-hero-v1.6.2.img
adb shell chmod 777 /data/local/flash_image
1.3 Center piece of the permissions exploit for the recovery ROM
Code:
adb shell ln -s /dev/mtd/mtd1 /data/local/rights/mid.txt
1.4 Normal reboot
Code:
adb reboot
1.5 Now that the recovery ROM (/dev/mtd/mtd1) is accessible: Backup (2)
Code:
adb shell cat /dev/mtd/mtd1 > /data/local/backup/recovery.img
1.6 Flashing the previously uploaded custom recovery image
Code:
adb shell /data/local/flash_image recovery /data/local/recovery.img
1.7 Rebooting into recovery mode
Code:
adb reboot recovery
2 Adding root shell (optional)
2.1 Mounting all devices
Code:
adb shell mount -a
2.2 Adding rootsh
Code:
adb shell cat /system/bin/sh > /system/bin/rootsh
adb shell chmod 4755 /system/bin/rootsh
2.3 Rebooting into system
Code:
adb reboot
After this you can flash the recovery.img you backed up in step 1.5 just as you flashed in step 1.6 (adjust the parameters accordingly).

That is a nice method.
I've long thought about making something similar, so maybe today I'll try, as an idea has come back to me...
I am thinking that I can avoid the whole recovery flashing, though I'm not going to say the idea till I've thought it through, as someone might try it before I realise how stupid an idea it is...
But I'll certainly see if it can get permanent root sorted out on the phone, although it won't give root adb access, as that is defined in the boot.img, though I guess I could flash that while I'm at it...
Good work.
Thanks!
Yes, a method to (safely) acquire super user access without flashing anything would be highly appreciated There's a small risk involved with flashing. Granted it usually causes no issues, but there is the slight possibility of bricking your phone.
Good work.

Yes, that's a minor annoyance, but really minor ... for the currency fix I naturally couldn't do
Code:
adb pull /data/data/com.htc.dcs.service.stock/databases/stock.db stock.db
or
Code:
adb push stock.db /data/data/com.htc.dcs.service.stock/databases/stock.db
but it's not that hard to just work around that via /data/local:
Code:
adb shell
$ rootsh
# cat /data/data/com.htc.dcs.service.stock/databases/stock.db > data/local/stock.db
then pull from there etc.
I really think "rooting" is a misnomer for most of the current guides.
I can see that most people "root" their phone in order to get custom ROMs (and I have no issue with that, it's just too much overkill for someone who just wanted to fix a small bug ) but In fact most people don't care about rooting per se, they care about flashing a recovery image which enables them to flash custom ROMs.
I actually wanted to try:
Code:
adb shell ln -s /dev/mtd/mtd3 /data/local/rights/mid.txt
...and see what happens if I remount after boot. If it causes the system to follow back the link with user permissions for the recovery ROM, maybe the system ROM could be (write-)accessed as well. Then again, it was my first venture into rooting so naturally there would have been no way to fix a broken system image safe for reflashing the 1.5 RUU.
Do you have any details about what the original purpose of the (original) mid.txt was? I mean, it was there, sitting in a directory named rights... quite an invitation (of course, we didn't actually "set" rights in that file or anything for the exploit, but still...)
Is it safe to delete mid.txt and will it be recreated with some default values by the system?

So was helping someone flash ClockworkMod via ADB in another thread, just thought if I made a topic for it, everyone can see it so if people have any issues they can always use this method instead.
Anyway, here are the instructions:
The 'flash_image' is within the attached zip file! Use the file within the zip file, NOT the zip file itself
The 'recovery.img' is your chosen recovery file, get this off ClockworkMods website or if you have a copy use that. Then when flashing the recovery image where ever it says 'recovery.img' replace that with the name of the recovery file.
Put the recovery image and the flash_image on the root of your C drive.
So,
(make sure you're in the command prompt and have changed directory to where the adb file is)
adb push c:\flash_image /sdcard/
adb push c:\recovery.img /sdcard/
adb shell
su
mount -o remount, rw /system
cp /sdcard/flash_image /system/bin
cd /system/bin
chmod 777 flash_image
flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery.img
It has now been flashed successfully
Hope this is of use to some people
Thanks! Very helpful.

You need to install drivers for fastboot if you use Windows. Sometimes you might need to unplug the usb, then plug it back in again & try fastboot again.
It should at least give an error.

What's the point in using fastboot to flash clockworkmod, it's just another way of doing it, some may prefer other ways (yeah via rom manager is a lot easier i know) but spread the knowledge, may be of use to some people.

You don't need your phone to be rooted to use fastboot, it's a method for new stock roms that have all the common root exploits fixed.
So, what's the point in this method when using Rom Manager is much easier? If you've already rooted your phone then this has to be one of the hardest possible ways to install clockworkmod.

I was never able to get fastboot working for my blade, always had driver issues, yet adb was fine. So I was able to use this method to flash and try the clockworkmod recovery touch that was released for us (turned out to be useless haha) but that couldn't be done via rom manager (well yeah, but you had to pay and i'm a poor student) so that's an example of when it could be useful.
point aside this is just another way, I just want people to learn as i am here to learn too.
Permission Denied
I need to flash CWM recovery using this adb method since I dont have data on the phone(Videocon Zeus V7500.. a clone of Commtiva Z51).
I have all the files in the right places but when I put the first command I get the following error :
I:\>adb push c:\flash_image /sdcard/
failed to copy 'c:\flash_image' to '/sdcard//flash_image': Permission denied ,
What permissions do I have to grant?
Try adb push c:/flash_image /sdcard/flash_image
Sent from my RACERII using xda app-developers app
Nevermind I figured it out, the problem was that I had mounted sd card to PC and I guess that was causing the problems.
I got it to work and have flashed CWM recovery now
Code:
I:\>adb push c:\flash_image /sdcard/
751 KB/s (26172 bytes in 0.034s)
I:\>adb push c:\recovery-clockwork-2.5.1.3-z71.img /sdcard
2444 KB/s (3831808 bytes in 1.531s)
I:\>adb shell
$ su
su
# su
su
# mount -o remount, rw /system
mount -o remount, rw /system
# cp /sdcard/flash_image /system/bin
cp /sdcard/flash_image /system/bin
# cd /system/bin
cd /system/bin
# chmod 777 flash_image
chmod 777 flash_image
# flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery-clockwork-2.5.1.3-z71.img
flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery-clockwork-2.5.1.3-z71.img
Thanks you very much for this thread

So was helping someone flash ClockworkMod via ADB in another thread, just thought if I made a topic for it, everyone can see it so if people have any issues they can always use this method instead.
Anyway, here are the instructions:
The 'flash_image' is within the attached zip file! Use the file within the zip file, NOT the zip file itself
The 'recovery.img' is your chosen recovery file, get this off ClockworkMods website or if you have a copy use that. Then when flashing the recovery image where ever it says 'recovery.img' replace that with the name of the recovery file.
Put the recovery image and the flash_image on the root of your C drive.
So,
(make sure you're in the command prompt and have changed directory to where the adb file is)
adb push c:\flash_image /sdcard/
adb push c:\recovery.img /sdcard/
adb shell
su
mount -o remount, rw /system
cp /sdcard/flash_image /system/bin
cd /system/bin
chmod 777 flash_image
flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery.img
It has now been flashed successfully
Hope this is of use to some people
