s-off but not super user acces!? help please :)

hey well i got to this point :
# # /data/local/tmp/root
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
anyhow when i run this it says:
cp: can't stat '/sdcard/superuser.apk': no such file or directory
then is the same but with su
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
i went ahead and put sync anyhow and when i restart and run 'su' but is says: unknown user root
any ideas what i did wrong? :/
oh and btw somehow i have S-off...
i followed each step, but i just notices this... for some reason it wont let me push superuser.apk or su, all of the other files can be pushed... any ideas?

no one?

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tU9zn_BEth4 i did that way and it works for me.

but i have s-off i supposed to be rooted already but i do not have super user powers... what do i do

Did you copy the Superuser.apk file to the root of your SDcard?

yes i did, and su too and now when i put su on my phone it says unknown user root :/
i can get temporal rooting tough.

Use visionary r13 ... had same issue... worked for me
Get it from pauls visionary thread on Modaco.

i had the same situation with u few days ago. just follow http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=834228 and u only need do the temp root part.
Delete visionary and superuser first, install terminal emulator from market.
on you pc:
$ adb push su /sdcard/su
$ adb push Superuser.apk /sdcard/Superuser.apk
$ adb push rage /data/local/tmp/rage
$ adb push busybox /data/local/tmp/busybox
$ adb push root /data/local/tmp/root
$ adb shell chmod 0755 /data/local/tmp/*
Then on you G2, open a terminal emulator
Launch Terminal Emulator---/data/local/tmp/rage----Wait for the message: "Forked #### childs."------Menu > Reset Term - Terminal Emulator will exit.-----Launch Terminal Emulator, it Force Closes. Launch a second time, and you'll have a root shell----- run the /data/local/tmp/root script here.---sync.
In the last step, u can find the origin thread dose not let u do this. but, if you've got s-off, trust me, just do the last step "/data/local/tmp/root", and when u see a feedback "****files exist",then "sync",

I got s-off, flashed clockwork recovery and baconbits
setcpu is also working
but when I try typed su then reboot in terminal
it says not permitted
and when I want to get rid of the bloatware ie Finance
root explorer refuses to switch to r/w in data folder
any suggestions

u can also do what i suggested in the 8th floor.

r u rspt in Gfan? since u can read chinese, just look at here. http://www.hiapk.com/thread-631413-1-3.html
I made this thread to help solve such problem.

After I got S-off, I didn't have root either. I just jumped on visionary (made sure run on boot wasn't checked), clicked root now. And boom, that was it. Then I deleted visionary and I've had root ever since...

ADB required?

After looking at the rooting steps outlined here:

I was wondering if there was any reason you couldn't do the ADB steps in the terminal? Just place all the files on the sdcard and cp them to the proper directory from there. Taking ADB out of the steps would defnately make the process easier for people.
Is there something I am missing? Would this work?
Rooting the G2 and MT4G
Download:
gfree_temp-root.zip
gfree_04.zip
Unzip the contents of the above files, and place them them on the sdcard as follows:
/sdcard/ (root directory):
su
Superuser.apk
gfree
/sdcard/root/
rage
busybox
root
In Terminal make the following commands::
cd /sdcard/
cp -r /root/ /data/local/tmp/
chmod 0755 /data/local/tmp/*
/data/local/tmp/rage
After a minute or so, you will see the following message on the phone Forked #### childs. Press the Menu button & select Reset Term. The Terminal Emulator will exit out.
Launch Terminal Emulator. It will force close. Launch it a second time, and you'll have a root shell. You are now temp-rooted.
In Terminal make the following commands:
cp gfree /data/local
chmod 777 /data/local/gfree
/data/local/gfree -f
sync
/data/local/tmp/root
NOTE: You may see an error that states mkdir: /system/xbin already exists, if you do, simply ignore and continue on.
sync
Reboot. You are now perma-rooted, have radio S-OFF, and SIM-unlocked.

I perm rooted my first G2 without adb. There are specific guides for doing it without adb. Although if you do have the SDK and ADB, its very very easy lol.

Lol i didnt use adb. I use visionary and terminal

I didn't use ADB either. Just a few simple commands in terminal.

Thanks, however.....
I have been reading that there have been issues with using Visionary to temp root. I just wanted to validate that it was OK to use terminal for the ADB steps.
Thanks!

Can't Unroot S-Off stays

I've tried all the threads on unrooting my mytouch 4g and I still have s-off. I've used the PD15IMG.ZIP. I've tried the sh unroot.sh method. I get permission denied at the end. I've tried doin the manual way with dd if=/where/your/part7backup-numbers.bin of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p7 I get an error saying error cannot open copy file... I don't know what else to do. I need to send my phone back for warranty. Any help is appreciated!

Did you push gfree to data local again, do chmod 777 to make it executable then run it again before doing the dd if=/sdcard/part7backup-numbers.bin of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p7?

[Q] *HELP* Gfree permission Denied

Ok guys I am currently on hour 5 here with my mytouch 4g trying to root it. For the life of me I cannot figure out what is going on.
I have moved the gfree folder to /data/local
from there I have ran the chmod 777 gfree
then I enter the ./gfree -f
it then says permission denied
I have rebooted, removed the battery, tried a bunch of different things
always say permission denied at that step
ANY HELP WOULD BE GREAT
Thanks in advance (it wont let me post anywhere else since I am a new user and have less then 10 post sorry if this is the wrong spot)

After copying the files did you run visionary to get temp root and then run the "su" command in terminal emulator to get super user permissions? That's the only thing I could think of that may be causing the problem you're having.

yes I have I get the super user permission message then I get the # symbol next to where I type in ./gfree -f then I get permission denied every time

Can't ROOT nor DOWNGRADE 1.84.666.2

Hi.
First of all I have read all post regarding these and found no solution.
My Bell Desire Z runs 1.84.666.2
-.I want to ROOT so I need to DOWNGRADE;
-.My INFOCID is BM___001 so I need GOLDCARD.
-.GOLDCARD goes OK and I entter BOOTLOADER (so it autoflash PC10MG.ZIP)
-.It checks PC10IMG.ZIP and says "Main Version is Older".
-. So I assume I missed PART 3 from this post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=832503
-.But to accomplish this I need ROOT (to get # on adb shell).
I think, het Visionary+ might help me with a Temp Root... So I install Visionar+ thru Android Side Loader Machine...
It installs, I run it and attempt Temp Root... but still adb # gives me an "Access Denied". So I can't get root with Visionary+ so that keeps me from finishing.
Also I have read many people downgraded only by running:
RUU_Vision_BellMobility_WWE_1.34.666.1_Radio_12.28b.60.140e_26.03.02.18_M2_release_154437_signed.exe
But that did not worked for me.
So? Is it impossible to go back? Downgrade? Root?
Best Regards.

I used AMT to change version number back and downgraded from1.84.666.2. You don't need the gold card, coz you can use AMT to change CID after downgrade.
Remember, once you downgrade from 1.84.666.2 to 1.34.666.1, you will have no chance to upgrade official OTA again, unless someone can release the official 1.34.666.5 RUU. There is no OTA available for 1.34.666.1 to 1.34.666.5, but the subsequent versions rely on 1.34.666.5. That's could be a problem if you want to revert to official rom or wait for gingerbread from BELL.

I used this guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=905261
download the files and go to step 4 only. go to adb and impliment the commands:
adb push psneuter /data/local/tmp
adb push misc_version /data/local/tmp
adb shell chmod 777 /data/local/tmp/psneuter
adb shell chmod 777 /data/local/tmp/misc_version
adb shell /data/local/tmp/psneuter
adb shell

Thanks for your answer. AMT was a big help.
