1) You need to root your Arc
2) You can extract the sqlite3 from the Superoneclick, and then copy the sqlite3 to /system/bin and then add the execute permission to the sqlite3
3) you can use adb or Terminal to type the command "like: better terminal"
I applied the mod on my X10 and Arc is work too
PS: I use better terminal to type the command

It doesn't require the xbin folder
extract the sqlite3 from the SuperOneClick and then push the sqlite3 to the system/bin and then add the X "Execute" permission to the sqlite3
It should be work, I also haven't xbin folder
OK, I'm making far too many uneducated guesses at this point. does anyone fancy typing a quick 'noob friendly' step-by-step instruction list saying exactly what to push where with what and how (oh I say, missus!)?
Please don't mock my stupidity; I won't understand it and you'll just look arrogant
Thanks!

Hey Boys and Girls,
where i can find an manual to root the tattoo with a mac?
sorry, i have search for this, but i cant find information for this
I don't thing that there is a difference.
As soon as you have SDK installed and adb works, the commands are the same.
hi,
i'm also doing all the rooting process from mac, just put the directory contain 'adb' shell into your home/user places and executing it with 'terminal'..
Same here, using a Mac ever since and also using it for Android development. Due to the underlying Unix core of OS X you just have to follow the steps as described for Linux. If it's just adb commands it's the same on every platform anyway.
You might want to add a
Code:
export PATH=${PATH}:/Users/yourusername/android.sdk/tools
to your .bash_profile file in your home folder so you don't have to cd to the SDK tools folder everytime. Happy rooting!
Mod. edit: not dev related, moved to general
Okay thanks for yours answers but i'm a newbie.
the background story is, I want to edit the boot.mp3. Because the startsound is really annoying
So i have download SDK, open the terminal and switch to usb-debbugging mode on my tattoo.
And now? sorry, I'm still missing a few knowledge
thanks for your help
well just use the various adb commands in Terminal Just type in "adb", press enter and you'll get a list of all possible commands. Assuming you've added the path to your sdk tools folder to your bash profile. Otherwise just drag & drop the adb binary from the tools folder onto your Terminal window, et voila.
The most used commands are probably push and pull where you can, well, push stuff to your phone or pull it to your computer.
So if you want to modify the boot.mp3 you would pull the original from the phone to your computer, modify it and push it back, overwriting the original file. In Terminal speak: ;-)
adb pull /system/media/bootscreen/boot.mp3
adb push /path/to/boot.mp3 /system/media/bootscreen/boot.mp3
Please note depending on the ROM you're using the paths may be different. To browse the device via Terminal type in "adb shell" and make a simple "ls" to list the directories, "cd" to change directories etc.
Or if you just want to use another mp3:
adb push /path/to/whatever.mp3 /system/media/bootscreen/boot.mp3
Again, on the Mac you can just drag & drop files onto the Terminal to get their full Unix paths like to your custom mp3
Thanks a lot. i love it its really simple
and now i have load and edit the the boot.mp3. But i can't push it to my tattoo, because i can only read but not write
I have tried to root my phone with "adb root" but it is the message "adbd cannot run as root in production builds"
Terminal: "adb remount", then push again
damn the next bad message "remount failed: Operation not permitted"
You need to root your phone first.

Okay i have executed the instructions. But I've stop at this part:
You should get something like this:
Code:
# id
uid=0(root) gid=1000(shell) groups=1003(graphics),1004(input),1007(log),1011(adb),1015(sdcard_rw),3001(net_bt_admin),3002(net_bt),3003(inet)

Yes i've root but i'cant download the "su binary" because its doesnt exist.
But its absolute essential to need the "su binary" to only copy the boot.mp3 to my phone? Or there is an other way? What are the commands to push the boot.mp3 back to may tattoo then i'm in the root mode like >> "#".
okay hope you understand me
You need "su" to do root stuff... no other way.
Download the package from 1 click root thread and find "su" there...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=644279
now, i have install the su binary. Then i does this command

Click to collapse
And now? Is there a comand to push the boot.mp3 back to the phone in this mode >> "#" ?
I have try to open an new terminal window and type
adb push /path/to/boot.mp3 /system/media/bootscreen/boot.mp3
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
but the answer is
failed to copy '/Users/android-sdk-mac_86/boot.mp3' to '/system/media/bootscreen/boot.mp3': Permission denied
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
and adb remount doesnt work to
You also need tattoo-hack.ko file and do insmod tattoo-hack.ko to make /system writable.
Or even better... flash custom amon_ra recovery image and then a custom rom with all this already included.
Mine for example http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=702401
It doesnt have boot sound enabled
Okay thank you very much.
now it was successful
Hello mates,
I am trying to Copy the BUSYBOX file to my /data/local/bin directory. But when i use the 'push' command it say adb: command not found. Hereby i have attached the image of my terminal.
Would you please help me in copying my files to the directory "/data/bin/local"
Also, where should i put the files which i need to copy. Eg. Since i need to copy 'busybox' to the /data/local/bin/, should i put the busybox in my Desktop, i.e. /home/android/platform-tools directory?
You should've not run the command from within the adb shell. Just go to the tools folder and type "adb push busybox data/local/bin" ofcourse without the ""
The busybox should be indeed be present in the folder from witch you run adb, in your case the "tool" folder.
Good luck!

@ErwinP.
Thanks for rectifying this mistake.
It worked.
You're welcome! I had to learn it the hard way myself, so I'm happy ik I can help someone! ;-)
It's not pretty, but I managed to get the exploit used by Archangel to work on the 2.3.20 firmware. Hopefully someone can think of something to automate this process, or knows of a better way to do this.
I believe what Archos is doing is simply restricting your ability to execute the Archangel application in the required directories, with the addition of the psneuter exploit, you can get around this.
This exploit requires that you have ADB setup, the Archangel APK, and the psneuter exploit.
Create a folder on your computer titled archosroot (or anything you would like)
Download Archangel from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=928767 rename the apk to zip and extract the files.
From the extracted files navigate to "res" then to "raw"
In this folder copy "ls" and "su" to your "archosroot" folder
Download psneuter from http://www.thinkthinkdo.com/trac/project1/attachment/wiki/psneuter/psneuter.zip and extract the files.
Copy the extracted psneuter to your "archosroot" folder.
Enable USB Debugging on your Archos, and connect it to your computer with USB.
From a command prompt, navigate to the directory ADB is installed in.
Verify that the device is connected by running
adb devices
Your archos should be listed, if not please refer to the forum on how to setup ADB for the archos
Once your archos is detected run the following commands.
adb push pathto\archosroot\psneuter /data/local/tmp
(replace pathto with the location your archosroot folder is in, for example c:\archosroot\psneuter)
adb shell chmod 777 /data/local/tmp/psneuter
adb shell /data/local/tmp/psneuter
This may take a few moments
Copy ls and su to your sdcard
adb push pathto\archosroot\ls /sdcard
adb push pathto\archosroot\su /sdcard
Connect to the shell
adb shell
move ls and su to /tmp
mv /sdcard/ls /tmp/
mv /sdcard/su /tmp/
Execute the ls exploit
/tmp/ls 0x62c7a315 0x260de680
Install the superuser application from the market (if you don't already have it)
You should now be able to run su to get root access from a terminal.
Note 1: I was previously rooted with archangel so I already had these files, I have not tried without the files being installed at all, however since this is only a temp root, the process should be the same.
Note 2: I was not able to get Titanium Backup to work, it could be the psneuter exploit prevents the application from properly requesting the right permissions.
This is good, but you should post this in the developer sup-forum
its too hard to do this for beginners
Thanks! It's very simple instruction, will try it today. As easy as install Urukdroid.
I postponed to upgrage to 2.3.20 just due to lack of root method without SDK.
I need the root just for copy some scripts to \system\bin
this has already been done in the following thread with perm root.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=897877
Firmwares have already been made that include overclock as well, the first post reveals all.
cool.
the_Danzilla , the way you pointed to requires SDE installation. I don't want to use SDE.

From what I can read psneuter is a root exploit for the adbd service. So you don't need archangel to complete the root.
Can you verify what user adbd is running after you execute psneuter.
adb shell whoami
The other thing that is mentioned in the first lines of the source code of psneuter is that it effectively disables reading the settings this will probably affect a lot of programs and probably is the reason Titanium backup is not working. So this method is effectively useless to have a working root.

I was doing some more looking and you are right that because of breaking the settings this is not a good long term root.
However I would not call it useless, since you should be able to manually back up an application.
Perhaps the property file that this setting is in can be modified with this, so that it can be rooted using a more standard method.
Not sure what I did, but I was able to get root with the properties intact.
My archos had froze today and I was forced to power it off so I know the properties were no longer be neutered. I was looking at some of the properties files and for the heck of it I tried running su from a terminal, and it worked.
I opened Titanium backup and it prompted for root permissions.
Perhaps something about the forced power cycle?
I found out that when I connect to a wireless network (as required by archangel) if the disable network shares option is chosen it's not possible to root.
However it would appear that if you connect and don't select this option Archangel will still work.
I suppose there could be something else I did without realizing it, but this has worked after rebooting 5 times so far.
I (without heeding the warnings) decided it would be a good idea to delete certain apps (including Hero of Sparta, Lets Golf, etc.) once I got my tablet rooted. Luckily, there are two A500's in my household, so I was able to copy the /system/app directory from the other untouched tablet.
Problem is, I can't seem to copy the directory (or any apps from it) into my tablet. I've used both ASTRO and File Manager HD, but in both, the 'paste' command is greyed out. It's as if I don't have the necessary permissions.
So, what's going on?
did you set the Read-Write permission on that directory?

No, thanks for the reminder.
Upon attempting to edit permissions, though, using a terminal emulator, I get an error after typing this:
Code:
su
cd /system/app
chmod 777 /system/app
And the error I get is:
"Unable to chmod /system/app: Read-only file system"

Silly question, but do you have your system rooted?

OK, then try a file explorer like Root Explorer and you should be able to set the rights ro R/W and copy your files over.
Root Explorer worked like a charm. I'm suprised File Manager HD doesn't perform those functions. I got a good feeling when I saw that Root Explorer was requesting superuser permission.

Glad to hear that worked. Root Explorer is what I use. Have been for over a year. I think File MAnager HD can also do it, but it is not as straight forward ad Root Explorer. Have fun.
BTW the permission setting 0777 means anyone can access it (or any other application), for the sake of having a better security the permissions should be changed to 445 so only root can access and execute those files (I'm not sure if APKs are considered excutables if they are not the 444 will be the right setting)

after a little seaching i found an other script that seems to work on NEO maybe on ARC too
also install-recovery.sh isnt execute on my neo so i put the call into hw_config.sh and it works fine now
howto.
1. push dalvik2cache /system/bin/dalvik2cache
2. adb shell
3. chmod 755 /system/bin/dalvik2cache
4. echo "/system/bin/dalvik2cache" >> /system/etc/hw_config.sh

btw. you need an inscured adb or an insecure kernel like this -> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1197263
if you do that, then at your own risk, do not complain when your phone is broken
hi,
i think it should also work without insecure adb and with stock kernel.
but root is needed...
copy the dalvik2cache file to sdcard first
with rootexplorer copy file to system/bin
set permissions
edit the hw_config.sh with editor (rootexplorer)
works great, thanks!
since my kernel supports init.d binaries/scripts u can actually just push it to /etc/init.d/ OR /system/etc/init.d/
it should work... though u may need to verify permissions... chmod 777 is best bet

Hi friends,
I've been trying to do this but I really don't know how to use adb. I have Android SDK installed on my computer, and fastboot, flash...ect. But every time I type "adb remount" then I get the answer is 'adb' is not found (blah blah blah...).
Plus my phone can't boot to recovery. Anyone please tell me where can I find the instruction how to do it? I really want to have more space for my phone and move all installed apps to sd card (I also have my sd card partitioned with ext3 and fat32).
Many thanks in advance.

You will have to unlock your phone first and then, using adb, install a custom kernel by fx. DooMLoRD from the link in my signature.
I dont know how to use cmd, can I use Root Explorer?
Anyway to revert it back? Because few apps are missing after it's done.
