So I'm trying to follow this guide to downgrade: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1178912 (Don't have enough posts to comment there)
Whenever I enter "adb push fre3vo /data/local/tmp" into terminal it says "cannot stat 'fre3vo': No such file or directory"
What am I doing wrong? I'm a huge noob at this...
did you download the fre3vo .zip file? you need to unzip that file and move into into the platform-tools folder that's in the sdk developer folder for it to be able to find the file and work.

Yes, I even tried re-downloading it to make sure there wasn;t something wrong with it.
By the way, I'm doing this on a mac. Would that make any difference?
U need to unzip the file inside the platform tools. Not in any fre3vo folder. Same thing for the rest of the file.

I dont think its a problem with the file, i had the same issue and it was because i didnt really understand how to use cmd.exe on my PC. Do what i did and read up on how to use cmd and maybe watch some youtube cmd help videos.

Im having the same problem before this. When i unzip the file not inside the folder, the problem solve. U also can change the directory manually from platform-tools to fre3vo.

I am running ubuntu and im am trying to install the sdk, i searched on the internet and messed around with it for 2 hours last night and still could not figure it out, it is a tgz file, Any help would be great. Thanks
deleted
Im having the same problem except I have everything installed just need to figure out how to get my computer to recognize my phone
if i remember correctly,cd to the directory where you saved the sdk tarball, then as mentioned above extract it using tar zxvf
cd to the extracted directory and you should see /tools
cd into /tools and you should be able to load the sdk by typing ./android
if you add the /tools directory to your path in your .bashrc, you will be able to type android straight in the terminal to load up the sdk.
hope that helps

Phone is not connected by usb..
Has been ejected and unplugged from computer upon adding root file..
One thing to Mention is..
In my application block I have the superuser Icon..
And I can select it and use it..
But if I go to Terminal emulator, and type su..
I get permission denied..
Although when I did try to Root the phone..
I went thru Visionary..
Checked the r/w box did the root.. on r11..
Then went to type the..
"cd /sdcard/root"
And that is when i got the..
"can't cd to /sdcard/root"
Try using Visionary 14, I was having the same issue reading the SD card figured it had to do with something with the root. I'm sure you can find the link in the forums

I had that same trouble rooting my phone. My problem was that I didn't realize that the .rar was a different type of compression and needed a different extractor. I suggest uninstall visionary and superuser. Remove the battery and reboot. Then install visionary and temp root. Then try "su" in terminal again. That should work. Make sure you are using visionary r11+ also. I made the mistake of downloading just plane r11 that doesn't have the options that are necessary to permaroot.

Thank you all for your continued support..
I am starting to feel as if my phone is unable to be rooted.. lol..
I have tried using r11+ and r14+ in order to root my phone..
Each and every time I get to the Terminal Emulator and input the first command I get the error message..
Maybe using winzip to extract the root file, is not the correct software to use..?..
If anyone still needs an answer to this question, I might have one. This issue just occurred for me on my mt4g, it was a real palmslap to the forehead when I realized what I had done. I put the files from the "root" folder into the root of the sdcard. So when it said "can't cd to /sdcard/root" it was because the folder root didn't exist and /sdcard/ held the files I wanted. In other words, put the entire folder named root onto your sd card and not just the files.
Hopefully this might help someone who made the same foolish mistake I did.

First try to cd to /sdcard. If that works type ls that is LS but lowercase. Look for root in the response. If it is not there, the directory doesn't exist.
If you can't change to /sdcard try cd /mnt/sdcard
My phone's directory structure is /mnt/sdcard.
Edit:
Just tried /sdcard, it worked. Then I tried to cd to a folder by not using proper caps, that worked too. Last I tried to cd to a folder that didn't exist and got the same error. You are telling terminal to change to a directory that does not exist, meaning, there is no folder named root on the sdcard.

1) download the root.rar file
2) unzip to the sdcard
3) make sure the folder name is "root"
4) make sure the folder named "root" is actually in the SDcard
5) open terminal emulator
6)
Code:
su
cd /sdcard/root
sh root.sh
BEFORE DOING ANY OF THIS, YOU MUST HAVE ALREADY TEMP ROOTED USING VISIONARY. and when you use visionary to root, MAKE SURE USB DEBUGGING IS ON OR IT WILL NOT WORK!!
IF NOTHING WORKS FOR YOU, THEN TRY THING GFREE METHOD HERE: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=858996

Hi guys,
For specs about my phone, please see my signature

I was running oxygen 2.0 yesterday to see what's gingerbread like.. and although I happen to use that browser, I prefer that one bigtime above the default (sense?) HTC browser. Is there a way to replace the HTC one with default Android / gingerbread browser?
This should be possible, but more.. which files do I need and how to flash. I heard I should get the browser.apk (wich is no problem) and find the right .lib / library file.
Anyone knows more of this?
Thanks in advance.
Hi, i think you need to push Browser.apk to /system/app/
Make sure you make a backup first tho.

is there no need for library files? and.. do you know a link / tutorial for pushing apps and stuff for ADB?
Not sure about library files but to do it via adb youd do this...
Copy Browser.apk to the tools folder of the sdk.
Boot your phone into recovery and mount /system
Connect phone to PC
On PC, run then cmd to get the command prompt.
Navigate to the tools folder of the sdk. Mine is C:\android-sdk-windows\tools
'adb devices' - this should list your device as being in recovery
'adb push Browser.apk /system/app' - this copies the apk from your tools folder to your phone
'adb reboot'
See how you get on

In the terminal window, make sure you are in the proper directory -- let's assume your user name is "me" and the zip was downloaded and unzipped to your desktop (it unzips into a folder named "one").
Start with cd /Users/me/Desktop/one
Check with pwd -- that should return your current directory. You can also check the directory contents with ls -al.
The chmod command is chmod +x run.sh. You can make it excuteable before or after you edit it as I noted above (I use vi for editing, any basic text editor will work).
Once all that is done, execute the run.sh script by entering ./run.sh -- that worked for me. One problem others have noted is the USB port not picking up the phone for data sharing, and I had trouble too until I got a USB port to recognize the phone. I could not get it to mount on my iMac, but it did mount on my laptop.
Thanks! It worked.
My pleasure. Have fun!

Replace <full path> with the actual path. As in the example above, it would become /Users/me/Desktop/one/adb.osx.
Basically, when the script is calling adb.osx, it doesn't know where to look for it unless you tell it. Linux will only look in the known directories in the $PATH system variable, so it can't find the executable. I know, it seems dumb, when your user session is already set to the directory, but that's the way it is.
UNZIPPING one.click.root
Is it just me, or is anyone else having trouble unzipping/extracting the one.click zip file?? I tried on my Mac, and it unzips as "one.click.root.exploitv2.5.5.zip.cpgz" I tried extracting that, and it brings me back to a .zip file again. Weird.
Also tried on PC, Windows 7 x64, and run into errors each time (used both built-in Windows extractor and StuffIt). However, if I open the zip with Windows Explorer, it will display all the contents... I'm stuck.
Help ???

If you download with Safari by just clicking on it, it almost always unzips the archive. If you download by right-clicking, and doing a "save linked file as" it won't automatically unzip. Give that a try.
Why are you rezipping it?
thank you! worked like a charm
This work with EXT4?
Btw, Snow Leopard 10.6.7 is okay, right?
you guys might want to take this and just edit it a bit more, its set up to run the root and flash cwm2

Hmm, I think I had the same problem, although I wasn't sure if it was my phone or Heimdall.
Becauseee, I've bricked my phone before a couple of times (had to get it replaced) and before doing so, I tried using Heimdall to see if I could unbrick it. My phone goes into download mode and all, and Heimdall just doesn't recognize it after putting the files in the correct spot. I didn't bother using Odin because I'd have to wait like a week before I got my hands on a PC. xD
Hello, Im new to the forum and im trying to root my HTC glacier. Im using this guide here to downgrade from 2.3.4. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1178912 Well I started the downgrade process and got to the step where I have fre3vo look for the dubug/exploit address and it wouldnt do anything. So I went searching and found a guide that suggested using factory reset beforehand, so I did. Ok, now, I redownloaded aall the files I needed and made sure it was placed correctly in my platform_tools folder. The first step went smooth, but the second step it now says fre3vo is not found.. I know its there, the file, not the fre3vo folder. Ive tried on both vista and windows seven, same problem after factory reset =[

Do you have adb updated properly? And check the md5 sums on your downloaded files, you may need to delete them and re-d/l
Sent from my HUAWEI MediaPad using XDA
Not 100% on this, but when you open command, type "cd c:\android\platform_tools" then try pushing the files. Also, make sure the fr3evo file from inside the extracted fr3evo.zip is in platform tools and not the entire.zip folder
If it still doesn't work for you, pm me and i'll try walking you through it as I've successfully downgraded my own glacier followed by root and rom flash

This. You're working from another directory, and not giving full path to the files you want to push.
Actually to make the downgrade easier on myself I put my tools folder in C:\ directly

great guide for ADB here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=879701
And md5sum:
md5sum is a computer program that calculates and verifies 128-bit MD5 hashes. The MD5 hash (or checksum) functions as a compact digital fingerprint of a file. By comparing the MD5 checksum of a file you've downloaded to an MD5 checksum value supplied by the original sender/uploader, you can make sure that files you download are free from damage and tampering. MD5 values are frequently supplied along with downloadable files.
Download this neat little tool:
http://www.winmd5.com/download/winmd5free.zip
unzip the folder and place the .exe file wherever you want, and run it. Once running, browse to the downloaded file/rom. Once it's completed computing the file, you'll see the the md5sum in the "current file md5 checksum value" window. Copy and paste the original md5 sum value(either from the website you downloaded from, or in the .md5 file usually)into the bottom text window and click "verify".
If the md5sums match(the one provided by the sender/uploader and the one of the file/rom you downloaded), it will tell you that they match and you know your file is good.
Hope this helps!
