HTC hero Owner running Linux OS

Looking for assitance installing HTC hero drivers and Devtool ( adb shell ) on a Linux OS based laptop
I have Jolicloud ( Ubuntu base OS for netbooks ) (sudo commands)
if someone could provide a guide or assitance..

The drivers are there already
as for dev tools that pretty easy
download the sdk, extract it to a folder in ~/bin, run
Code:
cd ~/bin
chown +x *
then edit ~/.bashrc and add the line PATH="$HOME/bin:$PATH"
should do it for ya, now you just run adb by putting adb in the terminal

Sorry I was cleaning up. Make sure you are extracting it to the bin folder in your home, NOT THE ROOT ONE. If the folder doesn't exist create it
I realized that the first thing I told you to do was wrong, we want the stuff in the tools folder NOT everthing in the sdk, cd into the folder the android sdk is in and run this: (skip the chmod +x step above, I moved it to down here
command:
Code:
tar -xzf android-sdk_r05-linux_86.tgz
chmod +x android-sdk-linux_86/tools/*
cd -r android-sdk-linux_86/tools/* ~/bin
rm -r android-sdk-linux_86 'this will remove anything you don't need Optional
If you get an error saying that ~/bin dosn't exist, run
Code:
mkdir ~/bin
then edit the .bashrc like described in my first post
EDIT:If should not have needed sudo if you moved it to /home/rgildoss/bin only if you moved it to /bin should it have caused problems. You don't want it in /bin

that cd -r gives me an error
bash: cd -r: invalid option
cd: usage: cd [-L|-P]..[dir]

Oops! typo! try cp no cd lol

okay that worked
one last thing
chown +x * also gives error
chown: invalid user: `+x'
also tried
chown +x*
chown: missing operand after `+x*'

It shouldn't have to be in bin unless you're going to need access to the executable from anywhere in the directory tree. I run mine out of ~/android/ and it's fine. As far as permissions go, chown changes the owner of the file, chmod changes the permissions. If you're the only user on the machine, change the permissions with the octal: chmod 777 path/to/files/*

One thing, why are you loged in as root?
and nano ~/.bashrc should do it
or gedit ~.bashrc if you like gui better

A user specific .bashrc doesn't exist by default in most Ubuntu based distros. Create it with...
Code:
touch ~/.bashrc
...and add the path statement. There should also be a systemwide bashrd located at /etc/bash.bashrc

If you want to send to /bin or /usr/bin, you'll need superuser access:
Command is: sudo su
Then type your password.
What was recommended was creating a bin directory in your home directory. Then edit your .bashrc to include the new bin directory.

did it work? You will need to reopen a terminal in order for it to use the new file, but then you should be able to use adb like any other linux command
EDIT: you answered my question before I posted it, nice
Hmm, I don't know what to do about that part, when ever I get an error like I can't get it to go away

1. Try adb kill-server first, then rerun the command.
2. If that doesn't work, run as superuser...see if that fixes it.

EVO Shift Temp Root for 2.3.3 and HBoot Downgrade

To downgrade your HBOOT to go back to 2.2 visit this link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1255474
This will allow you to flash 2.2 to perm root the phone
If you wish to help with perm root status for Android 2.3.3, please visit this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1218580
Thanks to everyone in this post who has helped get this far. You will need to have the Android SDK installed and working knowledge of ADB and basic file system structure.
Major help from minneyar
TEMP ROOT Instructions:
Download http://tinyw.in/1lI
Unzip if required and put in your ADB folder
Launch command prompt and navigate to your ADB folder
adb push fre3vo /data/local/tmp/
adb shell
chmod 777 /data/local/tmp/fre3vo
/data/local/tmp/fre3vo -debug -start fbb58a00 -end FFFFFFFF (if this doesn't work, try rebooting phone)
Download these 2 files here and put them in your ADB directory: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=14927732#post14927732
exit back to command prompt if you aren't there already
adb push Superuser3-beta1.apk /data/app/
adb push su-3.0-alpha7 /data/local/tmp
adb shell (should now see # instead of $)
cd /data/local/tmp
chmod 777 su-3.0-alpha7
./su-3.0-alpha7
cd /
mount -o remount,rw -t rootfs rootfs /
rm vendor
mkdir vendor
mkdir vendor/bin
cat /data/local/tmp/su-3.0-alpha7 > /vendor/bin/su
chmod 4755 /vendor/bin/su
You now have temp root. Disregard any notification about outdated SU binary. Root will go away if you reboot. If you reboot your phone you can obtain root again by just running the following
adb shell
chmod 777 /data/local/tmp/fre3vo
/data/local/tmp/fre3vo -debug -start fbb58a00 -end FFFFFFFF
adb shell (should now see # instead of $)
cd /data/local/tmp

rm vendor
mkdir vendor
mkdir vendor/bin
cat /data/local/tmp/su-3.0-alpha7 > /vendor/bin/su
chmod 4755 /vendor/bin/su
I haven't found a way to re-root after rebooting without connecting to a PC

Type su and see if it gives you root permissions
Sent from my MiuiSpeedy

says su: not found.

You are saying you cannot install the superuser app? From reading in the Evo3D forums, you could install Superuser, even without being rooted, but it obviously won't allow root access, until you run a root exploit.
Try rebooting the phone, installing superuser, run fre3vo, and then try the adb shell, and su method.
This is getting interesting. Hopefully you are on to something.

Okay let me clarify
I can install SU but it wouldn't install the binaries. I did all of the above. Says su: not found.
I then tried something else.
# mount -o remount,rw -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system
# cat /system/bin/sh > /system/bin/su
# chmod 4755 /system/bin/su
I was then able to get the SU binaries to install but Titanium Backup says:
"Busybox works but the "su" command does not elevate to root: "whoami" reports "app_135" instead of root/uid 0.
then su from the command prompt was saying "link_image[1935]: 3160 missing essential tablesCANNOT LINK EXECUTABLE" and now back to su: not found again....

I don't know enough about linux commands to give you any real info. Like in the other thread, talk to agrabren, to see what he has to say.

Yeah I tweeted him with what I could provide with 160 characters. Just waiting now.

Well here's a tweet he put out a couple of hours ago.
@agrabren: For those with the SHIFT, it's a known bug in my code that we missed the address. One too many zeroes in the list. I'll try to fix it soon.

Yeah he posted that right after I gave him the memory address for the exploit. Just means that I did it the manual way through debugging. At least I think so... hopefully soon!

Good news, everybody! I have successfully acquired temp root on my Shift!
First, fre3vo has to be pointed at the right address. After copying it over to my phone, I did "adb shell" and then ran it like so:
/data/local/tmp/fre3vo -debug -start fbb58a00 -end FFFFFFFF
That printed out a message that it found an exploit and kicked me out of the shell. After doing "adb shell" again, I got a command prompt. I tried installing the 2.3.6.3 version of Superuser, but it complained about being unable to install "su"; I tried to find a separate su binary and copy it over manually, but it didn't work due to a linker error.
After searching around, I found a beta version of Superuser 3:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=14927732#post14927732
First I uninstalled the old version of Superuser and then used adb to install the new one from that thread. I ran it and it said it was unable to install su, so I downloaded the version of su provided there and installed it manually. The process went something like:
Code:
adb push su-3.0-alpha7 /data/local/tmp
adb shell
# cd /data/local/tmp
# chmod 4755 su-3.0-alpha7
# ./su-3.0-alpha7
# mount -o remount,rw -t ext3 /dev/block/mmcblk0p26 /system
# cat su-3.0-alpha7 > /system/bin/su
# chmod 4755 /system/bin/su
I don't know if explicitly running "./su-3.0-alpha7" is necessary, it just seemed like a good idea at the time. I don't know if everybody's block device will be named "mmcblk0p26", I used "mount" to figure out what was mounted at /system.
Anyway, after all that was done, I ran Superuser again and it didn't complain. To test it out, I started up Wireless Tether. It asked me for superuser permissions, which I granted it, and it's working fine.
Root successful!

Good job!!
Sent from my Speedy HTC EVO shift on XDA Premium app

I followed those steps exactly and got what I would call a partial root. Some of the 'you need root' errors are gone but "su" still results in 'not found' even though "mkdir su" results in 'file exists.'
mmcblk0p26 exists on this unit.
The weirdest part is that Adfree will accept the device as rooted and with superuser but says it can't find a partition to modify. And after a reboot root is definitely gone.
I think you're on to it but it isn't quite there yet.

It seems to be fully temprooted to me; I have to redo it if I reboot, but otherwise it's working perfectly. After following the steps I listed above, running "ls -l /system/bin/su" should produce this output:
Code:
# ls -l /system/bin/su
ls -l /system/bin/su
-rwsr-xr-x root root 22228 2011-07-25 19:14 su
If it says "No such file or directory" instead, then the su binary isn't in the right place.
Looking back over what I wrote, I think I left out a step -- if you were following what I listed exactly, it probably won't work, because I forgot to change to the /data/local/tmp directory. I'll update that...
Update: after playing around with it for a while, something is definitely not quite right. Everything works fine at first; I've tested Wireless Tether and Titanium Backup and they're both fine. After leaving my phone for a while and coming back, though, applications that try to get root access mysteriously fail. The dialog prompt doesn't even appear.
Going back into the adb shell, /system/bin/su is still there, but trying to run "su" causes this to happen:
Code:
# su
su
link_image[1935]: 3802 missing essential tablesCANNOT LINK EXECUTABLE
But if I use cat to overwrite su and then chmod it again, everything works. su must somehow be getting modified by something else and replaced with a bad version... but I'm not sure where to look.

I caught something like that.
I think there should be a chmod 777 su-3.0-alpha7 after cd /data/local/tmp

YES! I have root! I was able to install a screenshot app and test it this is amazing progress! Thanks for that.
So now when I reboot, you have to do the entire thing again? SU and all?

Yes, every time you reboot you'll have to redo the whole process, including running fre3vo and then copying su into /system/bin. Hopefully somebody will figure out a permanent root soon.

Wow those SU binaries are disappearing before I even reboot! Already gone and I haven't rebooted the phone

I think I had that issue too. I just couldn't believe the files just disappeared and thought I did something wrong somewhere.

Would a logcat help anyone at all? Anything I should look for?

Of course automatic ways are easier, but it' s not that difficult, just need a little more time and attention.
The other way is to find a prerooted boot.img and put it to .cust_backup/image folder(replacing the original). I haven't pro model, so my boot.img will not work

i got the prerooted boot.img file for the U8800pro... replaced it with the original one.. But the phone is not booting.. It stuck on the huawie logo (the 1st logo before the one with the animation) so i had to put back the original one to make it work

I mean the error on manual rooting.
As fro prerooted boot.img file, are you sure that is compatible with ther rom you have? If is from a custom rom will not work. You need the boot.img of a phone with the same rom as yours, just rooted.

well, maybe it wasn't compatible with my stock rom.. do you have anywhere where i can find some prerooted imgs ?
and about the manual root.. i didnt got any errors coz i didnt know how to wirte those codes :s

Sorry I' don't know because I haven't a pro model and I don't know if there is a rooted boot.img uploaded fro pro mode. Maybe a member with pro read your thread and upload his img file.
-About manual rooting, you need to open DOS command prompt window. It' s in all progarms -> accessories
If you put the DoomLordRoot program in the root directory of your C drive and rename this folder to DoomLordRoot.v3(if have another name), you need to just put the commands one by one as given on the link I posted.
You just need to put first the command:
cd \DoomLordRoot.v3\files
to go to directory in which adb.exe is.
You can check if you are in the right path if you enter the command:
dir
afterwards. If you are in correct folder you'll see the files which are in c:\DoomLordRoot.v3\files directrory listed.
After that just start to follow the directions of the link. Just hit enter after every command you put. If you don' t see errors after every command you're ok. If you get an error on a command, write it here, for farther help. I don' t think that you' ll get an error, because I've done this proccess about 5 times and never get an error. But if you do, just put it here to see if we can help.

Thanks alot bro for the help.
well, i followed what u said but i think i got confused somewhere.. i'll type what i got.

Put su or sudo before command. like this "su /data/local/tmp/busybox mount -o remount,rw /system"

Yes, seems that you didn' t give the su command before(I think I've include command su, on my tutorial but I' m not sure. I'll check it).
If you see the symbol $ this means that you haven't get root rights yet.
Seems that zergrush succeed, so everytime after adb shell command, first you need to give the command:
su
If device is rooted, you'll see that the symbol changes to #
I think that you' re in good way though.

when i put SU in the begining it give me this :
su: permission denied

if you rebooted the phone you must run zergrush again.
Zergrush is the hack that unlocks the root account temporary. If you didn' t success to put su program on the right place, rooting access loosed after rebooted. su makes root permanent, busybox is an advanced shell and superuser is the app which used to give or denied root rights to apps which asking for this.
First be sure that zergrush is copied to data/local/tmp and you give to it the right permissions(all commands are in tutorial)
These messages mean that zergrush running

after that check if root succeed by input su command. If you get the # sign you're good to go to continue(exit shell etc)

i'm so sorry, but what do you mean with "If you didn' t success to put su program on the right place" ???? what where is the right palce ?

Some of the commands on tutorial handle the su program.
Push it to /system/bin(this is the right place), change its ownership, permissions etc.
For these commands to succeed(and also the commands for busybox and superuser), first need to enter to root account, by command su:
adb shell (press enter)
su (press enter)
these give the # sign which means that you are root.
If you don' t do this all commands will fail with errors as:
permission denied or cannot write to...

Sorry buddy. Nothing works. We 201m users are SOL.

Have you tried this?

Thanks Paul!
No luck with that either. Appreciate the feedback, however.

I hope somebody will study the XT902 root.

I really want this thing rooted. How do one go about figuring out how to root it? I assume because of it's lack of popularity, no one has done it, but I'm willing to do the grunt work if there's some sort of guide or assistance. I changed over to DoCoMo with the GS4 and now have this paperweight that I would want to actually use.
Thanks!

There some Japanese guys doing some things to try and get root. They are active. The site has a lot of rather unpleasant (read offensive) advertisements. PM if you are interested (its in Japanese)

I don't own the 902, but it's good to see this. I know quite a few people have been looking for this. You should start your own thread with the procedures, so it will get more publicity.

Thank u!
thank u so much.!1

Can you tell me more about this step

Confirm?
Can confirm if the latest instructions have worked for your 201m?
That your rooted and bootloader unlock.
Thanks a bunch!

Boot loader is unlocked and CWM is installed. Initially I still
Had temp root so I flashed slim beans xt907 rom. It works. I'm unable to test data with it as I don't have a SoftBank sim. Also I still can't connect to the play store.

Thanks for the feedback.
Still awaiting more confirmation with others. It's a step forward though.
I've had my phone for almost a year now. If I cancel my softbank service or run the contract to the end I want an option to root and unlock the bootloader in the future.

could u provide more friendly filehost?
i can't find the download button there

Root! (temp root that is...)
I'm just posting to confirm I've rooted my 201m (xt902).
Props to sbeaber4!
From my limited knowledge since it's temp root if I restart my phone I lose root access...
Next step in the future unlock bootloader.
Peace y'all.

Found that if I a did restart my phone root was lost but I found a quick fix without going through the whole process again.
Just do these steps
unlock_security_module（temp root）
adb shell
[email protected]:/ $ cd /data/local/tmp/
[email protected]:/data/local/tmp $ ./unlock_security_module
Just enter those three steps then you're back to temp root
Also you can just to a quick reboot with link2sd or any other app that just reboots the android ui. You don't have to enter commands every time you reboot unless it's a full reboot.

Noob on XDA, and rooted a MT4G in the past wth help from these forums.
Can someone help translate the kanji for rooting the 201M? Will rooting allow you to change the device location and prevent random all Japanese pop-up alerts/"are you sure" messages? Thanks for any help

Once CWM is online you might be able to flash a VZW or Aussie stock ROM. Actually, you could probably flash CM... That'll fix the Japanese popups. Of course, it also could very possibly brick it. Proper precautions must be made... On my tablet at the moment, does anyone know if sbf.droid-developers has 902 images?

Rooting LG V20 H990DS?

Been reading this guide here --» https://forum.xda-developers.com/v20/development/dirtysanta-h990-t3624296
despite much of a mess that it is and poorly written in some regards. I can make perfectly good sense of it all, but the commands issued most of them are pretty useless, or don't work as they're instructed to do.
Let me point out some stuff here, cuz I'm trying to work my way through the tutorial to root my LG V20 H990DS (International) btw;
ok so the first part here it explains the following;
6. Using dirtysanta's steps: Run "RUNMEFIRST.bat" <-- Do not close.
7. Run "step1.bat" <-- Wait until you can type something again.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
in my case here I'm using Linux, not Windows to do this, so things are simpler, the RUNMEFIRST.sh executable literally does nothing, when I can see it clearly is suppose to do something, let's take a look at what that files trying to run;
Code:
#!/bin/sh
# runmefirst.sh
#
#
# Created by me2151 on 12/13/16.
#
adb logcat | grep -a dirtysanta
OK, so it's using logcat to see what the phone is doing while piping to grep to watch out for dirtysanta being written to the phone while you have step1.sh running in another terminal instance, when that command completes you're left in ADB Shell of your device. Meanwhile the first shell script doesn't report anything going on, OK that's fine, doesn't matter since it wrote the contents of the required files to the phone, so it's there, as it should and as it's described in the shell script;
Code:
#!/bin/sh
# Step1.sh
#
#
# Created by me2151 on 12/11/16.
#
adb push dirtysanta /storage/emulated/0
adb push aboot.img /storage/emulated/0
adb push dirtycow /data/local/tmp
adb push my-run-as /data/local/tmp
adb shell chmod 0777 /data/local/tmp/*
adb shell /data/local/tmp/dirtycow /system/bin/run-as /data/local/tmp/my-run-as
adb shell /data/local/tmp/dirtycow /system/bin/applypatch /data/local/tmp/dirtycow
adb shell
Now this next part, doesn't work at all, because in the tutorial guide, they said to do chmod 777 permissions on "/storage/emulated/0/*" this doesn't work because operation is not permitted by the file owner and group root, there is no write permission to change permissions of that directory structure.
Code:
chmod: chmod '/storage/emulated/0/Android' to 40777: Operation not permitted
and yes /storage/emulated/0/ is suppose to be your storage userspace of where you save your files and stuff. Your "virtualized" SD Card space, you have normal read-write access there anyways. The next part of that tutorial says to check the id output from the Terminal Emulator app on Android, and check for the response "untrusted_app", that I do get, if you're doing it through ADB Shell you'll get "context=u:r:shell:s0" instead.
Part 12 of the tutorial has misuse or incorrect command line usage for applypatch, it will not simply execute because the command line usage is incorrect like so;
Code:
applypatch /system/bin/atd /storage/emulated/0/dirtysanta
it'll just simply return the following;
Code:
usage: applypatch [-b <bonus-file>] <src-file> <tgt-file> <tgt-sha1> <tgt-size> [<src-sha1>:<patch> ...]
or applypatch -c <file> [<sha1> ...]
or applypatch -s <bytes>
or applypatch -l
Filenames may be of the form
MTD:<partition>:<len_1>:<sha1_1>:<len_2>:<sha1_2>:...
to specify reading from or writing to an MTD partition.
obviously the step2 shell script can't do anything because there is nothing to backup, since it's calling to backup the boot images off the device.
So far I haven't been able to find any comprehensive or updated rooting guide for LG V20 H990DS in particular, nothing new worked on seems to popup anywhere as of yet.

bump this

No help for this at all? Just gonna be another one of those dead-end topics with no answers?
