ive tried uding the gfree method and the visionary root.sh method and nothing as soon as i reboot my phone and use the termial emulator su says permission denied.. i followed all the steps perfectly and still the same thing
any ideas y??
Are you on 2.3.4? Check by going to settings > about phone. You must be on 2.2.1 to root! Downgrade guide here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1178912
yea im running 2.2.1 but it seems to never permroot it will temp and permroot will run but when rebootin the phone the su goes back to denied
Did you try visionary but if you do do that way make sure those files are inn the root of your sd
I had the same thing like you mine didn't want to root
ok by root u mean just on the sd card????
here are the methods ive tried....

AFAIK, since SD card is mounted as VFAT, there is no support for permissions, and you won't be able to run executables from there. Not sure though - didn't test.
in out of state so i dont have my camera only my webcam and its hard to make a vid with it but the gfree and hboot files wont copy to the /data/local file when i paste it, a pop up will a pear and have 2 loading pars only 1 will fill in and the other will stay blank and then the pop up will self close and files wont show that it copied.. an di was told that it could b ran frm sd card should i try to run it from a different folder on my interal memory???
also, the root.sh method will runn but will from this location but it will not s-off or change my bootloader
Use adb to copy them.
Or use the same command prompt you're using to copy them.
cp /sdcard/gfree /data/local/
If it doesn't work:
busybox cp /sdcard/gfree /data/local/
If it doesn't work:
cat /sdcard/gfree > /data/local/gfree
After that:
chmod 777 /data/local/gfree
After that:
/data/local/gfree
thanks.. gfree was now in the /data/local/ file. but now im not gettin any of the on screen prompt
and s-on
I was running into the same problem when rooting my nephew's phone over Thanksgiving (first of over 2 dozen MT4G's I've rooted that gave me problems like this) and the method on the CM wiki page was the method that finally worked. I have done 3 more phones since using this method and all 3 took root on first attempt.
here's the link... http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/wiki/HTC_Glacier:_Full_Update_Guide
i just used this method with adb:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/wik...Subsidy_Unlock.2C_SuperCID.2C_and_Radio_S-OFF
Download and copy gfree again. Looks like the file is incorrect.

Assuming you've already followed the instructions from the link I provided above, most of the Hero builds have links to the necessary Radio and SPL updates required. Just read through the forums.
For example, the JacHero r2.x thread ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=522076 ) links to this site ( http://code.google.com/p/sapphire-port-dream/ ) for the Radio and SPL. Be sure to update Radio before SPL.

'root' as you are using it is a function. to know if you have root after following the instructions you must download a terminal emulator from market, then type SU in the prompt it brings up. if you get a # sign you're golden, if not then you do not have root. in either case you need to read up and stay AWAY from hero builds until you understand your phone and it's functions more.
read EVERY link in this link labeled Read before clicking "New Thread" [06/29] at the top of the dream android development thread.
Easiest way to tell...open up terminal and type su then press enter. If u get a # symbol your good to go and have root. If it says permission denied, then you don't have root.

Have a terminal emulater but it doesnt let me connect to server? what did i do wrong?
no root. refollow the steps in the link! can't do everything for you, if not, how will you ever learn?
I really hate to sound like a newb
I have my phone Rooted via VISONary.apk, and s=off, and i have flashed
When i am in the Term Emulator and i type SU i get the # sign.

But there are certain commands such as "reboot recovery", that i get a "not permitted" feedback.
So i went into the CMD to try adb shell line and all i get is a dollar sign
So i know something isn't right, but i do not know what. I did check and i've got the Development option turned on in the apps menu. I've updated my SDK, I've checked the Super User Log and nothing says denied. everything is allowed.
do you guys have any ideas??
i NEVER had this problem with my Magic... just really odd in my book.
Can you run free in shell in terminal? Or does that get you permission denied as well? I had a similar issuer and tried everything to fix it .. The only thing that worked was unrooting and downgrade back to stock and then re-root.. Since then no issues with permission denied...with the free thing anyhow ... But still can't run reboot or reboot recovery in terminal .. Get not permitted.

You will ALWAYS get a $ as long as ro.secure=1 in your build.prop... it is not a bug.. in order to get root in adb you will need to type su

That is really kind of weird that it would do that. I wonder if there is something in the phone's stock ROM that prevents us from doing that.
I have tested it on my phone, it works perfect!
SORRY FOR MY BAD ENGLISH. I HAVE THE CHINESE WORDS ON MY PHONE, SO I DO NOT KNOW WHAT THE ENGLISH EXACTLY IS. I TRANSLATED THEM ON MYSELF, IF YOU DONOT UNDERSTAND MESSAGE ME.
1, you should FLASH RECOVERY TO YOUR PHONE, and that will not be talked here. lots of threads can tell you how to do it.(I HAVE PLACED ONE WAY TO DO IT ON THE SECOND PAGE)
2, unpack "root.rar" into your DISK C, and the folder must be "root"
3, now mark the "debug mode"( you can find it in application Settings) , connect your phone to your computer( just CHARGING MODE)
4, press win+R on your PC keyboard, and type in "cmd".
5, now we can see dos commond, you should type in the following commond one by one.
CD C:\root
adb shell
reboot recovery
6, now your phone should reboot into recovery. select mounts and storage. there select 3 items( mount /system, mount /data, mount /sdcard)
7, disconnect your phone, and connect it again. then type the following commonds into your PC. NOTE THE SPACE
adb push su /sdcard/su
adb push superuser.apk /sdcard/superuser.apk
adb push psneuter /data/local/tmp
adb shell chmod 777 /data/local/tmp/psneuter
adb shell /data/local/tmp/psneuter
adb shell
8, if you can see "~#" on your screen, you have made it. I have encountered a error on the 5th commond but it seems like ok, afterall I have been rooted.
9, you still have some commond to type.
cp /sdcard/su /system/bin/
cp /sdcard/Superuser.apk /system/app/
ln -s /system/bin/su /system/xbin/su
chmod 06555 /system/bin/su
10, now on your phone you should still have the recovery, unmount the /system, data, sdcard.
11, reboot your phone, and enjoy it!
Thanks very much for the help of pxw816, without him I still in dark.

Sorry for forgeting to upload the file. It works on the chinese rom, I think all rom can be rooted this way...
Anyone willing to see if this would work on a Telus Desire HD with 2.43?
Anyone tried this ?
I'm quite sure this only works on the Chinese ROM. But I might give it a try
I have tried this, but it does not seem to work with my version. The recovery boot doesn't seem to work correctly, I believe this is the problem.

hey man,u say u got 2.37 rooted and then when i looked at the first line u said u need to flash recovery
u can't flash recovery if u don't have s-off so u have to be rooted in the first place,
i guess u already have a rooted device with s-foof so u could install recovery
any way thanks for ur help

I'm not quite sure about that, for people who do not have a recovery may place the following file on your TF card( DO NOT PLACE IT INTO ANY FOLDER!), and shut down your phone(I MEAN COMPLETELY OFF, OR YOU CAN PULL OUT YOUR BATTERY). Then try to press the volume down button and the switch button at the same time to start your phone. See if the recovery can be installed automatically or not. if not, I'm afraid you have to downgrade to root and get a S-Off. If you do not know how to downgrade, post here, and see if i can give you any help or not.
This will never work, you will need Root and S-OFF to flash recovery. (thanks hawks556 for pointing that out)

Hello! After flashing factory rom b137 customized for ucell/uzbekistan my splashscreen was changed to ucell operator logo. Can i change it? I find some info http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=12506273&postcount=1 about change it in another model .Thanks!
Mine is at the cust folder. Does anyone know if there is a parameter about the duration of the splash screen?

But it will end up better once Im done.

Disclaimer:I am not responsible if you break,brick,hump,throw against wall or any other action to do to your phone. By using this bootanimation you agree anything that happens is your own noobtastic fault. Any attempts at blaming me for anything other than this being fantastic will result in you being pointed and laughed at.
New files uploaded.
Sized down to fit better.
Added a grey background.
If you like the while background use the one that says while in the name. Once you download it rename it to bootanimation.
Root Explorer method:
1. Rename your boot animation to bootanimation
2. Put it on your SD card
3. Open Root Explorer and copy bootanimation.zip to /system/media. This will replace the existing boot animation
4. Reboot your phone
ADB method:
1. Make sure you have downloaded android sdk
2. Put android sdk in C:\
3. Set the directory of command prompt to C:\android-sdk-windows\platform-tools. Click here for a video tutorial.
4. Rename your boot animation to bootanimation and put it in C:\android-sdk-windows\platform-tools
5. Open cmd

3. Open Terminal Emulator and type the following commands using the stock keyboard. Press enter after each line:
su
cd /sdcard
sh bootsnd.sh
reboot
4. As the device boots up you will be greeted by the "Dolby THX" test sound heard before movies. You are now free to replace the android_audio.mp3 file in /system/media with any .mp3 file you like as long as you rename it to "android_audio.mp3"
