I need to rename the build.prop that my Kindle is currently using and rename the backed up build.prop so it will use it instead. I need to do this through ADB (everything is off 90 degrees but touching the screen doesn't work properly), could someone please give me the commands to rename the build.prop that is currently there and the commands for renaming the right one (already on the device). Thanks in advance.
if you type in adb you get a really nice help
btw. please post such questions in the general section

You did post in the wrong section this section is for dev's it is not a help section.
nevertheless i don't know a command to rename
you have to copy around:
"adb shell"
if prompt is $ then "su" else
"cd /system"
"cp build.prop build.test" (as example)

Run to this thread and read up:
forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=724741
There is an automated script that will help you with the root. Many users, including myself had to run it a couple of times before it took - so if it doesn't go off the first time, don't lose faith, just try again.
As for whether or not it wipes, that's moot - You should, after you run the hack flash a custom rom - this will wipe your data. Any ROM you like from the dev forum will do. I am using Froyo v21. But you can certainly try any one you like. As for non-Froyo roms, I like the Cyannogen ELB builds. But again it is your preference that matters.
To flash the new rom, you need to boot into recovery mode. If you run the script from the above thread, it will boot you into recovery mode. If you use the instructions in this thread, type "adb reboot recovery" at your command prompt immediately after you are done. Once there, you can do the following:
-Do a NAND backup
-Put your phone into USB SD mode and copy over your ROM of choice to the root of your SD card.
-Do a factory wipe and a dalvik cache wipe
-flash your new rom
When you flash the new rom, depending on which one you do, you should have su or root. You can then download and install apps that require root.
Remember, you should back-up your data before you try to do anything to your phone. It's just a good idea.
If you have any ROM specific issues, try looking through that ROM's thread for answers. Also, if you have any other questions about how to do anything, the first sticky thread in this forum is a great collection of how-tos. You can also PM Me and I will be happy to help.
Don't forget that a lot of hard work went into rooting leak. Do like many of us have and donate to those responsible.
i understand what your saying about asking here. but seriously, i searched and it seems like every thread says the same thing. so i jump all over the place and end up going in circles. i did my sons moto droid yesterday pretty easily. he now has root and a smoking droid w/o disturbing anything else. so, sorry, but it is tough. thanks for your reply. i got this particular thread from android forums and it looked like the one. a new one at that. but i spent several hours going around in circles. googling and everything. i am a noob with linux based phones. yes. but i'm very capable and dont need baby steps. just need some straight answers. so sorry. i will check your links. thanks for your reply
Works just as good as the automated method. Good deal.

Everyone, if you don't want to do a wipe and install a custom ROM, you can just flash EngTools.zip, courtesy of jcase, and it will add su and superuser.apk without disturbing your existing data (apps, settings, etc).

First off, as always, if this causes any damage, or loss of anykind anyhow anyway I am not at fault, don't blame me.
So you rooted? But no longer want root? or want to downgrade to 1.5 with an ruu? or want to flash one of the PB00IMG like the root one with an engineering bootloader?
Tonight I made another custom misc.img, it is attached to this post. You will also need flash_image which can be found here. http://www.multiupload.com/KS2JCAMGBH
Run these commands as root:
Code:
adb push flash_image /data/local/flash_image
adb push misc.img /data/local/misc.img
adb shell chmod 777 /data/local/flash_image
adb shell /data/local/flash_image misc misc.img
Now you can flash any known (to me) ruu or PB00IMG

I suppose this should work equally well for PB00IMG.ZIP installs (from the corresponding RUUs), yes?
This should make life easier for "unrooters"; now if there just some way to convince them that there is really only 1 reason to unroot a phone

I rooted alright and I have a basic understanding of the recovery stuff. But could you guys either tell me what to do from scratch on this one or point me in the right direction.
I've been searching the forum for 2 weeks trying to learn how. My kids are teasing me now cuz all I do at home try to learn about this stuff. Well anyway I would appreciate some help.

Wow!!! I truly did not realize the full extent of what yous guys are doing on this website. You are smart people!!! hahahaha I opened a can of worms and can't get it shut again.
You guys are the ones writing and developing all kinds of programs.
i hope you guys arent taking this the wrong way!!!
I honestly didnt realize till I researched and found the HTC Developers center.
I have no buisness trying to do any of this stuff!
If some can help me out I would appreciate it!!!!!!

Remount rw
That was enough to let me edit my build.Prop when root explorer wasn't remounting correctly.
Although I would recommend root explorer for stuff like this... remounts on the epic now and it let's you Remount in the application without adb. I think it's $0.99 in the market and we'll worth it.

Stand by for f'n flaming!!
Are you on windows or Linux? That was kinda a stupid question. So you're on windows. 8 or 7?
From the folder you downloaded adb.exe to, hold the shift + right mouse click to open a command prompt. Type "adb" in that window. It should give you all the commands that are associated with adb. Type "adb kill-server" then "adb start-server". Plug in device and type "adb devices"
Edit: oops I misread what you are asking. Just google adb.exe download. Easyadb is a good example: http://easyadbandroid.codeplex.com/
Can someone post a current kernel version screenshot off of their phone please..

Instructions:

adb push root /data/local/tmp

If you get # symbol for prompt, you have root.
Let me know the results please.. I am trying to do this without actually having a phone, I might as well go get one today though, because this might end up being to painful this way..
Update (11/15/2014):
Well, at this point I have been able to establish a remote shell to my PC. This might not sound like much, but if your on the phone and run my binary it will establish a remote shell to anywhere that you specify where a valid listener is listening on an IP and port that is specified. Malware people would go nuts with this. Why? Because with this essentially I could grab all personal information from your SDcard and other areas without your permission. Pretty much run any command that you can do now locally, I could do on your phone remotely. So, I am seeing now what leverage points I might be able to make with this..
