[Q] Best way to install modules at boot?

Edit: "Rom Development" is only meant for very advanced technical discussion directly related to ROM development activity and the delivery of actual ROMs and ROM components ONLY. Nothing else goes in here. Moved thread to "General." Please refer to "[REF] STOP! Read before posting!" ~TheRomMistress
Hi there,
I've permarooted my DZ using Visionary which worked fine.
Now I'd like to automatically install the overclock module at boot time.
What's the 'standard' way of doing this?
Regards,
Richard

I'd also like to know

You can have visionary auto run a script on boot, make a script to install the module and have it run that on boot.

Actually I have it setup but it doesn't work for some reason. Maybe visionary.sh needs extra line? Like !#sh or something.
I did chmod 755 already. It is in /data/local.
Sent from Desire Z

I've now tried this too but it looks like V12 Visionary doesn't execute the script if it detects that the phone is already rooted.
Just thinking, does it run the script with SU privileges or should su be the first command in the file?

The best way, is to use an overclocked kernel now. You will need to flash an S-OFF bootloader first. All the details I have just posted in http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=834950

Hmm, not sure I'm ready for flashing and new kernels just yet...

I'm in the same boat. Don't really want to flash.. just wish this script would run at startup!
not a big deal due to "Fast boot".. since it stays around...

I notice an option in VISIONary 12 saying "Run visionary.sh after root"..
so i guess you can turn this on and it will work?
What do i put into the visionary.sh?

When i use ES File Exploirer and navigate to /Data - it says "No files"?
i expected to see a "Local" and then a visionary.sh?

aah had to enable "Root access" then the folder "local" shows up.
Not sure how to write a visionary.sh..

Still not be able to understand - root step

Guys,
Would you mind to write up a tutorial how you root your DHD ?
I'm a newbie for android and i have no idea.. been trying to read articles and i still cant understand.
I have downloaded the file called dhd_root.zip and now what ?
some people are mentioning about the gscript and blar blar blar.. what is all that about??
i have no idea what to do now... please help..
*please do not flame me for not using the search function as i read few of them and i do not understand at all*
Thanks

I personally used Evostance's guide, it was very simple and easy to follow: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=834427
That's the link. I do believe there are simpler methods now using Visionary. Just check the Development sub-forum and they have more tutorials there

Hey Sylpher,
I did tried to read Evostance's guide but where is the guide?
Step By Step Guide - Download link below
11/11/10 V2
http://www.multiupload.com/KK66WUNUWS
See the main thread for details on the root:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=805327 ----> i do not understand at all... all those code like listed below
Go to adb shell, switch to root (su) and do the following:
insmod /sdcard/wp-(version).ko
for example: insmod /sdcard/wp_g5ed1769.ko
This will disable wp (will be enabled on reboot though...)
dd if=/sdcard/hboot_eng.nb0 of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p18
This will install engineering hboot
totally confused.

The link that he provides includes all the files + the tutorial (in a PDF file). So yeah just download that first and it should be quite straightforward from there on.

Sylpher,
Thank you so much for the info (The link that he provides includes all the files + the tutorial (in a PDF file).
I have no idea there is a tutorial file inside the zip.
I will give it a go when i got home and then pm you after that.
Thanks again.

No problems

You can try this too, a member here compile it. http://hemorrdroids.net/overclock-undervolt-your-desire-hd/

if you dont already have a file explorer then download astro from market place
download visonary r12 from here and copy apk file to sd card on the phone and install from there
http://android.modaco.com/content/h...722/10-nov-r12-test-visionary-one-click-root/
download superuser from market place and install on the phone
make sure usb debuggging is enabled on the, also unkown sources is allowed phone(settings/applications/development)
run visionary and don not check any of the 3 box on the screen
run temp root and let it finish
then attempt perm root it will ask for super user permission, allow this and the phone should root and reboot
to test it has work down load adfree from market place and see if it runs, if it does you have full root
simples

Although I wouldn't recommend anyone to rush into the act of rooting their device, do bare in mind, that the exploit we are using to obtain root will be patched sooner or later, so whilst thinking about it I would be very wary of applying any future OTA upgrades as so you may find you once more have an unrootable device

[RESOLVED] Stubborn security on MT4G. Will not Temp-Root.

I was able to root my MT4G with ease using VisionARY r14. My friend purchased a MT4G shortly after and I was trying to root it for him, I used several methods and no luck on any of them.
I've tried using:
1. Visionary temp root>attempt perm root
2. Visionary temp root>terminal (sh root.sh)
3. Visionary temp root>terminal (/data/local/wpx.ko)
From what I understand #2 & #3 basically are the same. So going back to the problem, on MY phone (I don't recall if I used #1 or #2), I rooted with no issues. On his phone, the root is not sticking, every time I go into the bootloader on his S=on still. Nothing stands out or is out of the ordinary, and I would think it would have rooted just fine, the scripts ran via terminal emu and looked okay and all.
Something else I've noticed is when I install CWM Recovery via ROM Manager, after temp root from Visionary the install of CWM Recovery itself was fine, though after going into bootloader and trying to access recovery or booting into recovery from ROM Manager, it doesn't go into recovery, I get the cell with red triangle and "!" on it. I'm assuming that this is a result of it being unrooted still? Anyone else run into a stubborn MT4G like this? I've attached 2 pictures for visual aid of the phone's bootloader screen and about screen below.
Any suggestions or help is greatly appreciated, I've been trying to root it for over a week now and no luck.

I can't see the pics you posted, but I had this issue myself, for me the answer was to find a stock recovery pre ota update and force it, then I ran visionary and terminal with sh root.sh or whatever... Hope this helps... Just try to find an image of pre ota stock rom and go from there... There is a good forum here with a walkthrough to do this... Post results please, would like to know if this was your issue...

Ok guys, first of all Scotty2 gets all the credit for the program R&D. I used my device as a test bed and have tried a couple different kernels (Gr8Gorilla's O/C Kernel and the stock kernel).
Now for the boring stuff ...
This is a very invasive way of rooting your device but the benefit is TRUE S=Off and root privileges throughout the system. As such, you do this at your own risk and if you brick your device neither Scotty2 nor myself are responsible, YOU ARE!!! Do this at your own risk!!!
This is not for the faint of heart and if you have any reservations about doing things like this do not do it.
This process will do three things for your device. I will explain them here:
1. It will set up Super CID on your device allowing you to flash any carriers rom (not just tmobile). Giving you more freedom with your choice of software. The software still needs to be device specific to the glacier for compatability reasons though. Like vodafone glacier roms etc.
2. It will subsidy unlock your device. In other words, it will SIMUNLOCK your phone allowing you to use an AT&T sim card and so on in your device without needing the unlock code from HTC.
3. Most important of all it will turn the RADIO S=Off. This is the ultimate S=Off because the radio is what controls the security flag in the first place. Once you turn it off here it is off everywhere and will allow you pure unadulterated access to your device.
This process will not change your bootloader (unless your on 0.86.0000 and you follow the optional steps).
Now, you may be asking "Why do this? I already have root from your other guide and it has given me r/w access to system and recovery. I thought this meant we had permanent S=Off." This is only partially true. We have had an engineering bootloader and "Label" s=off not radio s=off. When you turn the security off in radio it is off permanently no matter what hboot you have installed engineering or otherwise. However, it is optional but you can still copy the engineering hboot over and it will allow you to flash whatever you like without (as much) fear of bricking your device.
This guide assumes you know how to use ADB. If you do not there are guides all over XDA to show you how. There is even a really good one in this forum. Also here is a video on how to setup adb discovered by topgun303: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1UF5w1dKe2U
*NOTE*
For some reason this process can bork your recovery. If you notice after following the steps below that in order to reboot from recovery you have to uninstall/reinstall the battery and hit the power button, just install/reinstall clockwork recovery through Rom Manager in the android market and it will fix your problem.
CONFIRMED: Guide does work for pre-OTA devices!!! Thanks xanz!
Here we go:
If you are already permarooted per the other guide just follow the first 11 steps.
Make sure you have visionary installed on your device. (If you were already permarooted w/s=off ignore this step.)
Download this file:
http://www.mediafire.com/?s7afymwe2wb3x60 New version of gfree with more options! See below.
md5sum: b73c56ca0e21664c5756d4ad295063c5
1. Now unzip the file into your SDK tools directory.
2. Plug your device into your computer.
3. Now open explorer and hold down shift at same time you right mouse click on your SDK tools directory (platform-tools if you have the R8 version of the SDK). Select open command window here. If you are in linux (ubuntu) right mouse click on your SDK tools folder, choose actions, and choose open command window(or whatever it's called). Otherwise, open a command prompt and cd your way to your SDK tools directory.
4. Type "adb push gfree /data/local" and hit enter.
Optionally, you could dl the file to your phone use androzip or something like it to unzip the file and then use root explorer to move the file named gfree to /data/local. Not the gfree.h file. All the other files are source code inlcuded for the gnu license. This would skip the first 4 steps.
5. Now unplug your device from the computer.
6. Run visionary to gain temp root. (If you were already permarooted w/s=off ignore this step.)
7. Open terminal emulator on your device, type "su", and hit enter to gain root privileges.
8. Type "cd /data/local" and hit enter.
9. Now type "chmod 777 gfree" and hit enter to make the program executable.
10. Type "./gfree -f" and hit enter.
New features in gfree.
gfree usage:
gfree [-h|-?|--help] [-v|--version] [-s|--secu_flag on|off]
-h | -? | --help: display this message
-v | --version: display program version
-s | --secu_flag on|off: turn secu_flag on or off
-c | --cid <CID>: set the CID to the 8-char long CID
-S | --sim_unlock: remove the SIMLOCK
With the new features you can turn off one thing at a time. You can also turn security back on and set the CID back to stock if you wish. To turn simlock back on you still have to follow the revert procedures on this page as the information that is patched to turn the lock off is encrypted and we can't write back to it other than restoring the entire image.
So, if you wanted to leave simlock on but turn security off and set super CID the command would be "./gfree --secu_flag off --cid 11111111" + enter. The -f switch after ./gfree that is now in the above step (./gfree -f) just tells gfree to patch everything.
11. Wait for the program to finish and then reboot into HBoot to see if S=Off. Also, check your bootloader version. If it says s=off and has bootloader version 0.86.0000 it worked.
If you already had hboot 0.85.2007 you can check it through the hboot menu. It gives you an option for "system info" in the hboot menu. Highlight it and hit power. It should say CID = 11111111 or something like that. If it does your golden.
Congratulations!
12. If this is the first time you have rooted your device you will need to run visionary again (temproot w/set system r/w after root checked and then attempt permroot) to make root privileges permanent and then reboot again. Now "su" should work properly for you.
Gfree writes a backup of the file that it patches named Part7backup-numbers.bin on your sdcard. I suggest putting this file in a safe place as it is the only way to revert if you need to.
[Optional] Steps to flash engineering bootloader.
1. Restart your phone and plug it back into your computer.
2. Download this file: http://www.megaupload.com/?d=NN5726Z8
md5sum: df4fd77f44993eb05a4732210d2eddc6
3. Copy the file to your SDK tools directory.
4. Open a command prompt again and cd into your SDK tools directoty (platform-tools if your on the new R8 SDK).
5. Type "adb push hboot_dhd.nb0 /data/local" and hit enter.
6. Now open terminal on your device and type "su" and enter to gain root priviliges.
7. Type "cd /data/local" and enter.
8. Now type "dd if=hboot_dhd.nb0 of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p18" and hit enter.
9. You should see something like: 2048 bytes in 2048 bytes out 1048576 bytes copied blah blah blah.
10. Now restart the device into hboot and check if your bootloader version is 0.85.2007. That is what you want to see.
Congratulations, you now have a TRUE root and engineering bootloader on your shiny MT4G!!!

Please Help! Permanently Root MyTouch 4G

Hello,
I have been trying to figure this out for over 24 hours. I feel like I am so close yet so far. I have watched video after video, read guide after guide and still no luck.
I have tried the adb method (no luck whatsoever) and the root folder + visionary and cannot get my phone to permanently.
My android version is 2.2.1
I have Root File Manager installed
I have Super User installed
I have Visionary r.14 installed (tried MULTIPLE versions)
TempRoot works fine until my phone reboots (which is supposed to happen) but when I press Attempt PermRoot my phone reboots and it goes back the to the way it was unrooted.
My goal here is to put a new ROM on my phone (i.e. GingerBread) or something like it.
Can someone PLEASE help me?
Thank you in advance
Matt

Use this thread. Follow the instructions to the "T" and you will be fine. It is very simple and pretty much dummy proof. This is the g-free method. I have rooted 3 phones with this method with no issues, and this is my first Android phone. Good luck!

Thank you very much! I did get it rooted and I am working on installing my ROM. That was a very quick response, Thank you

You are very welcome.

i dont mean to sound like a noob, but can you push the gfree files to data local by using the terminal on your phone correct?

I haven't used the gfree method but you need atleast temp root access to make data R/W (read write) so unless you have temp root no. But if you do it'd be easier to just use a root explorer.

i have temp root right now, but whenever i use file manager, it doesnt show data local for some reason. Im just trying to do everything from my phone. I prolly should just learn adb shell and get it over with.

you need

just astro or file manager will not work, they do not have SU access.

[Q] Gfree problem

Why am I having a problem with something so simple. This is what I have done so far.
I first tried to run gfree from the mexdroid ROM and got the module error, file not found. Realized I need to be on stock so I flashed my stock ROM
My original root was the sh root way and I am on Eng bootloader.
I run through all the steps in terminal, it does its thing and say's done. It create's a part 7 back up. I power off, take the battery out, re-boot in h-boot scroll to system info and the CID is still T-Mobile not 11111111.
I have repeated this 5 times and now have 5 part7 backups " I know the original one" but the CID will not change to 111111. In H-boot if I scroll sim lock it shows mmddcc error but the phone works fine and I am on the latest radio.
What am I doing wrong that the CID will not stick?
Thanks
Edit: I do have the good chip

Use stock PD15IMG.zip and the try it.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1066966
^ I ran in to same problem.
EDIT: Here is my rooting nandroid backup with everything ready to root. So just put download it and extract it and your ready to go as it has gfree/visionary all installed via default with right files everywhere. Make sure once your rooted you go back to whatever rom you have as this rom is only for rooting and you can't do anything on it.

Is he suggesting to change "./gfree -f" to "./gfree --CID 11111111." with a space between the CID and 11111111 and a period after the 11111111.?

Well that was period he posted as it was just end of sentence. But if you rip the command apart you will understand it.
./ = child
gfree = call
--CID = condition
11111111 = value
Which is already passed using "-f" condition. Which alone using it by itself didn't work for me as I tested it. So I suggest you download the nandroid backup I provided and then run it from terminal. I use this backup always as I am testing MT4G and I need to root/unroot always.

Hmmm it did not work. Here is where i'm at. I DL your ROM and install. Run terminal with the code and get "file not found".
I push Gfree from my computer"and I see it push", run terminal again "file not found"
I copy Gfree to my SD card use Root Explorer to move the files to data/local, run terminal. It runs through the gfree setup and says done.
Re-boot to H-boot and still on T-Mobile. I repeat terminal 2 more times to make sure and still on T-mobile.
Am I doing something wrong?

Well I used that to always root with both gfree and permroot (root.sh) always worked. Also gfree and eng_hboot was already in /data/local as I included it along with VISIONary installed.
Now I am not sure what happened but I suggest you revert back to stock rom/radio with our PD15IMG.zip and then try it. So whatever happened it would be all gone and you would start from new fresh start. Post back if it does not work, at that point it should.

It did find your file this time but it did not work. Let me go through exactly what I am doing and see if you can find where I may be messing up
Boot into recovery. wipe data/factory reset. Wipe cache. Wipe dalvik.
Go to backup and restore. click restore. click on yours that is dated 5-26-11
Your ROM is now installed. Open up terminal
Type "su"
Type "cd /data/local
Type "chmod 777 gfree"
Type "./gfree -f"
Terminal successfully runs through and says done.
Rebot to H-boot. Click on system info and it's still the t-mob
I repeated 3 times. I now how 10 part7 backups and they are all 2.0MB
Thank you for your help so far, do you have any ideas or see something I am doing wrong?
You mentioned Visionary but I am already S-Off, should I be using that?
EDIT: I re-falshed the stock radio like you said and it WORKED. thank your for your help. Thanks added

I am glad it worked for you. Mostly those issues you won't find work around on the original thread. Maybe when I have time ill look in to Ginger based rooting with Gingerbreak, ect and see if we can find meth for those folks on Panache based roms.
