All Uses For ADB For NON-ROOTED Eris

I jumped the gun installed the original and the latest 2.1 leaks, so I am not rooted. I just recently learned how to use the ADB push feature in the tools of the Android SDK to install a custom boot animation and I'm stoked at how awesome it works.
I was wondering what all you can use the ADB push feature for on a NON-rooted Eris. Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks devs for all your hard work!

Adding custom boot images.

Thanks jcase! I was seriously hoping that there was there would be other things that I could use it for. Oh well, guess I'll just wait until the Official OTA 2.1 is released, then wait until you genius devs crack it open and get it rooted. Thanks again!

You can make a script to quickly install apps in mass.
#!/bin/sh
echo "Installing apps..."
./adb install apps/app1.apk
echo "app1 Installed."
./adb install apps/app2.apk
echo "app2 Installed."
./adb install apps/app3.apk
echo "app3 Installed."
./adb install apps/app4.apk
echo "app4 Installed."
./adb install apps/app5.apk
echo "app5 Installed."
echo "done"

I know this is an old thread, but I just got a replacement eris and i'm trying to avoid signing into the market before I root (for a completely clean install, probably doesn't matter, I'm just funny like that), in which case, I want to install 1-click root before I do anything. So, if someone could point me in the right direction to do an adb install on an un-rooted eris, that would be great.

No need to bypass activation, skip account setup, Settings->Applications->Unknown sources, Settings->Applications->Development->USB Debugging.
Then this plus this:
Code:
adb install erisone010.apk
You are making unnecessary work for yourself - if you want a Nandroid backup of the factory ROM in a near virginal state, root the phone with OneClick (so that a custom recovery gets installed) - NOT including insallation of the engtools (or rootme, whatever it is called), and then perform a factory reset afterwards. (That will clear accounts & account data from the phone, and you can then boot to the recovery to make a backup of the virginal ROM).

That's basically what I ended up doing (got impatient and didn't wait for a reply), except I did sign in to the market and picked up 1-click that way. Thanks for your reply though, to my question asked in an attempt to feed my OCD tendencies.

EVO 4G & Hero Root & the Eris

Hi All,
I viewed the video posted by the Unrevoeked team a little while back about their EVO 4G root and it definitely caught my attention.
http://grack.com/blog/2010/05/23/root-on-an-htc-evo-4g/comment-page-1/#comment-8123
I just noticed today they posted an update on the thread and a link to:
http://unrevoked.com/
If you follow the site they let you download unrevoked.apk
If this APK running in some way means we can root. Well It installs successfully and when you actually run it it says "done." So I believe it does what it is suppose to do on the Eris, I just dont know what steps to take from their.
I have tried installed 2 different superuser apks and neither seems to work. Not sure if I should be doing something else.
PS I am using unrooted OTA

By meaning neither one of them "work" you mean when you press on the app and all you see is a black screen thats all it will do until a program that requires root requires permission to do whatever the app was designed to do. Ohh usb debugging in setting->applications->Development-> USB debugging should be checked.

Hey,
I tested out ADB its not working and by not working I mean neither prompt for superuser permission.

doesnt work

It doesn't work sadly. The Dev's blog is shadowmite. com/blog/ (without the space) if you are looking for any followups though.

It looks like all it does is try and replace/write /system/bin/su but I can't entirely tell. This app is supposed to run something on boot so you may want to try rebooting. Also, it creates a log: /data/DxDrm/unrevoked.log

Verify a couple of steps & axe a nudda kwes-chun

So I have downloaded directly to my phone bootstrap and Z4root. They are on my SD card.
I've enabled USB Debugging.
I can now run the z4root apk without loading the Android SDK and connectiing my phone to the PC, right? I came to this conclusion from reading the noobs Guide Sticky that said this:
"...If you don't want to have to mess with this method of installing, you could also download "Astro File Manager" from the android market. You would then need to save z4root.apk to your sdcard of your Droid X. Then open the Astro program and browse to your SDcard and file the z4root.1.3.0.apk...."
I ask because I read some threads about having downloaded the z4root to their PC first, then copying it to the SD & having had better luck that way.....or did I mis-read these threads?
And the kwes-chun:
The noob guide says "if you wanna remove the bootstrap...." but it doesn't 'splain why I'd wanna. What is the benefit of removing the bootstrap? And just to be clear, the bootstrap download on pg1 of the "noobs Guide" is for "removing" the bootstrap, right?
Thanky one & all.

All you have to do is install the app and run it. If it doesn't do anything let it go for 15-20 minutes then pull the battery and try again.
For the question about the bootstrap, some people may want to return completely to stock and they will no longer be rooted. I personally wouldn't ever want to do that but some people may want to do this

ah HA...so running the bootstrap apk UN-DOES the rooting the z4root does....thereby returning to Stock?

no, z4root is an app that can root and unroot you, there are options you can select. what you have described is that people download the apk onto their computer since download capability is faster, then transfer it to the sd card of their phone where they install te app and run it allowing them to root. z4root is completely stand-alone and can be downloaded and run without a computer if you so choose.
Koush's dxbootstrapper is an app that allows your phone to hijack the boot process to be able to install custom roms, and access the bootstrap recovery. it is needed if you want to customize your phone. the noobs guide tells you haw to uninstall it if you so choose so that it doesnt show up if you return your phone so you dont get in sum trouble wit vzw for example.

Awesome. I thank you very much; I understand

Unable to Re-Root Droid 2 after Gingerbread OTA

Here's my problem,
I had the Droid 2 with stock ROM rooted and all was well. My phone installed the Gingerbread ROM (4.5.601) when Verizon pushed it out a few days ago. Thankfully, this did not totally jack up my phone. However, I no longer have root access.
I have tried three different 1 click root methods for the Gingerbread ROM but none of them worked. I tried un-rooting and re-rooting with one clicks and that's not working. I tried manually removing the Superuser app and rooting, no joy.
The one clicks are connecting with the phone but the phone does not seem to want to allow access to change files.
Before anyone asks, YES I have the drivers installed and the connection with the PC is good. I have attempted to run the 1 click roots in "charge only" AND "PC Mode". Debugging is on and I am set to allow non-market applications.
Suggestions?
Thanks,
Tracker

Update: in trying to manually remove old superuser file with adb shell, I just can't seem to get the # prompt to execute the commands even after running Pete Souza's exploits.
suggestions?

Hope somebody comes up with an answer - same thing happened to me.

did you use the d3 root method? thats the only one that works 100% on gingerbread.

Yes. I used the "Pete's Motorola Root Tools.exe" program on Win7:
psouza4.com/droid3/#root
I also followed the "Droid X Notes" section at the bottom even though I have the D2 and I'm not able to get the "adb shell" ending with #.

SOS!!
Thank you for such a clear, concise post! I am in the same boat with no luck. I used the one click root for D3 which says it will work for a number of Android phones, including the D2 Global, but is NOT working with my D2. I have run the application two times and both times it went through the entire process, rebooted my phone three times and said success but...no success... I am sooo bummed as the only way I get internet at home is via Wireless Tether which I can no longer use because I do not have Root access!
Desperate in Cool (the name of the town I live in), I need help!!
Thanks in advance,
Jeni

Yeah, still no joy here. I've retried everything that I mentioned in the OP and still can't get the # so I can execute an un-root and/or re-root as described on Pete's website.
I've tried it on both a Win XP and a Win 7 machine.
Anyone have any suggestions? It appears the D2 Gingerbread firmware doesn't want to allow permissions to modify certain portions that were allowed before.

Success
I didn't so much fix the problem as hit it with a bat until it shattered, then rebuilt it.
My fix was to SFB the phone back to Froyo with factory defaults, activate it with Verizon (at this point I have no software added or accounts set up on it so obviously no root), apply the OTA update to GB, perform the 1-click Root which worked this time, then setup my google accounts and install Titanium Backup which I had previously used, and restored all my data from it.
At this point I'm getting some force-close errors which I'm sure are related to the Titanium restore but I was able to ADB Shell in and SU so I know I have rooted it properly and at the very least I will do another clean wipe and restore individual applications one at a time so I know which aren't working right and go from there.
Good luck everyone!

I kinda figured that this would work. I'm trying to avoid a full nuke of the phone, but so far it appears that this is the only work around.
Anyone else got a plan?

Only option I was going to provide was SBF to 2.3.2 with RSDlite and re-flash the OTA, then run the Droid3 exploit.

I have a D2G and I had the exact same problem. I did an OTA upgrade without un-rooting (I was earlier rooted using z4root). I had a long discussion with Pete Souza, the guy who created 1-Click root. And he agreed to help me out. He did a remote to my computer and rooted my D2G. I am going to try to reproduce all the steps here.
Situation: Was rooted using z4root. Had Superuser and su binary both on my phone but root was not recognized by titanium Backup, SetCPU, etc.
Resolution:
Run Psouza's 1-cick root http://www.psouza4.com/droid3 (ensure u have motorola drivers)
First try the Root, and if that does not work only then continue with the following steps. I got an error after step 3 which said the phone cannot be rooted (or something like that). The first two steps were a success.
Now that the root is not working, run the Temp ADB Root from the same app. In my case even that failed - but Pete said that ignore the failure message.
Now, I need to delete the su and busybox which are leftovers from the earlier root.
Open a command prompt in the support_files folder where adb is located.
Get into the shell by typing: "adb shell"
type "/system/xbin/su"
This will pop-up a prompt on your phone to allow Superuser access - just click Okay.
The $ sign will change to #
Now type "busybox mount -o remount,rw /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system"
now type "cd /system/bin" This is where your su and busybox are.
Type "rm su"
Type "rm busybox"
After this just exit out of everything and run the 1-click root again. It should work now.

This worked perfectly on my wife's D2G. Rooted Gingerbread = a good start to the day!

Awesome! Thanks!

Just wanted to say I think i love you...this worked for me after two tries on my Droid 2.
First time I was able to remove su and busybox...then when I applied the one click root again, it said there were a bunch of errors but still succeeded. After the reboot I didn't get superuser access yet so I went through deleting su and busybox again (but busybox wasn't found)
The second time i decided to restart my phone before running the script again and when attempting to verify if su was still installed by going into adb shell...it said my phone was already rooted.
Thanks!!

Awesome!
Thanks! This worked for me as well! (after additional reboot)

Good Info but one problem for me
Since I did the OTA Gingerbread, I cannot get into debugging mode. I have uninstalled the Moto drivers & reinstalled using my administrator profile on Windows 7. I have also sbf my phone. Wipe cache. Factory reset. Activate service (NOT download or sync w/ google). OTA Gingerbread. This is on a regualr D2. Anyone have any ideas on how I can get into debugging mode. Otherwise I can't do anything.

Thank you!
I am so glad I found this post and the directions posted by drumster. I had previously used z4root and had not unrooted before allowing the Gingerbread upgrade. Pete's application fixed my Droid 2 on the first attempt; no other steps were needed.
Thanks again,
Andrew

awesome
psouzas 1 click worked for me. Droid 2. previously had rooted with deroot method until it updated by itself to gingerbread which broke root.
enabled usb debugging
in pc mode, clicked on souza's link and followed instructions
i have win 7 64 bit computer

It works
I just got it to work. I was on rooted froyo. Sbf'd back to stock froyo. Downloaded and installed OTA G bread. Then I had to run the D3 one click root method twice but the 2nd time it worked fine.

Easy guide to root your tablet and keep your warranty

I must write this guide because I spent yesterday 6 hours of doing all of following steps (together with 2 useless firmware flashes and other worthless stuff). Why? Because it was really complicated for someone who is not really familiar with all the names, definitions etc. I just wanted to have my tablet rooted, keep my warranty and use my external SD card without limitations. It is not easy but it is DIFFICULT to find these few steps on XDA forum in tens of topics with many information posts and garbage around.
Important thing is that you can do these steps WITHOUT loosing any data! (Which I lost yesterday because of my lacking information.)
Here we go (written without tablet around, so some things can be generalised):
I did it on Z2 Tablet 511, firmware .402 (no need to downgrade as I did at the beginning...)
1. Open up your device’s “Settings”. Now scroll to the bottom and tap “About phone” or “About tablet”. At the “About” screen, scroll to the bottom and tap on “Build number” seven times. Make sure you tap seven times. You will then see a notice that you are now a developer.
2. Now you should have Developer options in the System settings. Go there, enable USB debugging.
3. Again in Settings go to Security options and allow installations from Uknown source.
4. Download Easy Root v5 here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=53448680 (guide is there also)
5. Download Backup TA v9.11 here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2292598 (optional for backing up your system info if you will later unlock your phone, install new ROMs etc. But if you need just root, it is not necessary. But it is recommended so you can be sure that you can get your tablet to the default status when it was bought and you can make a complaint in case something else will break down.)
6. Connect your tablet to your pc normally. Just have your tablet switched on and use USB cabel. Let it install all drivers.
7. Run Easy Root v5 (install.bat) and your tablet will be rooted in few seconds
8. For TA backup run Backup-TA.bat. Follow instructions and save your TA files. It will be created in the folder from which you run the applications. It is compressed in one file. Save it somewhere and keep it!
9. Reboot
10. If you want to use external card without limitations, install SD fix https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=nextapp.sdfix
For common users who want to install apps which need root and do not want to install custom ROMs or do another tricky stuff this process is enough. Enjoy your tablet now .
There can be maybe some problems with drivers. Then you can try install PC Companion which should install everything for you. http://www.sonymobile.com/global-en/tools/pc-companion/
Another thing from @stress40 who had also problems rooting the tablet:
1) I used easy root tool (on windows with Android SDK installed, ADB drivers etc)
2) extract easyroot v5 onto desktop (keeping extracted files together in a folder)
3) download towelroot.apk and put in Files folder of towelroot
4) reboot phone then plug in phone and double kick install.bat (so you get the ADB message on phone) and most importantly DON'T LET YOUR*PHONE*SCREEN*TURN*OFF (mine did so was stuck at waiting for phone but as soon as I turned it on it was fine) I was rooted in a few minutes after double clicking install.bat.

Good job, beats people having 3 tabs open trying to dissect which steps they should be following and then trying to piece together the timeline of events with other people screaming "read and search"
Sorry you lost data though, have you tried out Sony's backup app that for me was embedded in "tools" folder in app drawer? I hadn't noticed it for a while.

Not a big issue for me at this time. I just had to reinstall everything but data etc. are on cloud plus I have titanium backup just it was not used . For me tablet must be ready for summer when I will be off home. Now it's ok.
And yeah, there are like 8 topics with 49 pages in 5 subforums and then try and go through it. I don't know why there was no simple guide like this before. Only updated long ago created topics in first post plus other mess around in tens of threads.

Good guide for those who want to root it; and exactly the steps I followed, so I can confirm (again) that this method works like a charm.:good:

Thanks worked great for me installed supersu from the play store and all working great nice to see a clear tutorial . Would be good if development jumped up on this fantastic device

There's really no need for that. As you will be sending your device back just use PC Companion to install the latest Sony rom. This will automagically do what you want.

A recovery makes it easy to 'flash' kernels, roms etc that come in zip files as well as make a nandroid backup. If you see yourself doing this, then yes install a recovery system. As a whole, it doesn't hurt to have one installed.

Thanks for helping!

permission denied
Hey, thanks for a great guide!
All steps went smoothly and for the most part my Tablet Z2 now appears to be rooted.
For instance MyBackup Pro, Tasker, Secure Settings, App Quarantine all work.
However, there are some apps that have issues and they complain about permission denied in /system folder.
Apps are
BusyBox (unable to install binaries),
SuperSU (I was able to install it from Play Store, but as soon as I start it it tries to update to latest version, which fails)
AdAway (fails to apply hosts file)
Any ideas?

Your /system folder is not mounted with r/w permissions.

How do I do that?
I tried this app: Mount /system (rw / ro)
But it did not help
Is the only solution to install a custom recovery? Would be nice to avoid a full wipe if possible.

Your device is not properly rooted.
Please re-root.
All other attemps only lead to problems.
Perhaps you try the XZDualRecovery (rooting is included in the installation procedure), worked like a charm here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2794175

Ok, so you are saying that the method mentioned in the first post in this thread is not the proper way to do it?
The thread you are referring to, the method mentioned there will result in a full wipe, if I understand it correctly?

When I updated my Z2 fone to the 314 rom, I needed to reroot. My /system couldn't be mounted rw. I tried multiple ways to remount it rw and none worked. Installing XZDualRecovery solved my problem. No wipe was necessary, nor was one performed. No data was lost either.

I suggest that the author of this thread should add to the description that full rooting will not be possible for the 314 firmware version.

Thanks for your guide. So I don't need to unlock the bootloader? Are there any advantages of having an unlocked bootloader, if I gain root using your guide?

Unlocking your boot loader is only needed off you're going to flash non-stock roms like CM or kernels that require it. If you only need root, there's no need to unlock your bootloader.

No need. The solution to your problem is to install superuser first and then run the latest version of the easyroot tool. It will root your tablet fully, no need for dual recovery unless that's something you want
