"[TUT]Rooting,Custom boot.img & recovery.img for newbies - Click Android Development

Firstly i did not do this guide. it took it from this forum and just compile so that newbie like me can easily root their tattoo.....
ROOTING TATTOO
Download the ZIP file attached to this post. Extract the files to a safe location - perhaps C:\Tattoo ?
Now, you'll need adb for windows. You can get it from COBURN website's server here: ADB for windows.
Make sure your device is in USB Debug Mode (Settings > Applications > Development).
Extract all the files in the adb4win zip file to your C:\Tattoo folder.
Now, go to Command Prompt. In XP, it's under System Tools in Accessories. In Vista/7, it'll be under accessories.
Do the following at the command line:
C:\Users\Coburn> cd C:\Tattoo
Then you will get this C:\Tattoo
Next type in this:
C:\Tattoo> adb-windows shell "mkdir /data/local/bin" (with the quotes!).
If you get a error (like mkdir failed, file/folder exists), this is fine!
just means that the folder already exists in your phone
Now, run this command:
C:\Tattoo> adb-windows push m7 /data/local/bin/m7
this will just take a few seconds
Run this:
C:\Tattoo> adb-windows shell "cd /data/local/bin && chmod 755 ./m7" (with the quotes!)
This allows you to run the sucker. Looks like something nothing happen but it did something.
C:\Tattoo> adb-windows shell
This will dump you at a "$" shell. do the following:
C:\Tattoo> adb-windows shell
$ cd /data/local/bin
$ while ./m7 ; do : ; done
...lotsa text will flow down your screen. This is normal.
Soon, you'll be greeted with this:
#
This is the root prompt! If you get stuff like this:
# usage: reboot ...
usage: reboot ....
usage: reboot ...
Just keep your cool, press enter and the # will pop again. This is due the exploit spawning reboots to gain the shell.
Next type in this:
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/system/lib
export PATH=/system/bin
Check if u have root, type:
id
you will get
# id
uid=0(root) gid=1000(shell) groups=1003(graphics),1004(input),1007(log),1011(adb),1015(sdcard_rw),3001(net_bt_admin),3002(net_bt),3003(inet)
The uid=0(root) is important, so call your phone is root.
REMOUNT PARTITION (SU)
Now you need to install su. Exit your root shell (via CTRL+C) and download this su.zip and extract it to C:\Tattoo.
DO NOT EXIT THE COMMAND PROMPT WINDOW.
in your command prompt window, do this:
C:\Tattoo> adb-windows push su /data/local/bin/su
Then break out a shell...
C:\Tattoo> adb-windows shell
at the $ prompt, enter:
$ chmod 755 /data/local/bin/su
$ cd /data/local/bin/
$ while 'true' ; do ./m7 ; done
It will change from $ to #
Type in this:
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/system/lib
export PATH=/system/bin
Next type in this:
# chown root.root /data/local/bin/su
# chmod 4755 /data/local/bin/su
# mount -o rw,remount /dev/block/mtdblock5 /data
# mount -o rw,remount /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system
After that, you can exit out of the root shell, and try a normal shell and this:
$ /data/local/bin/su
...which should make you get a nice # prompt.

[Q] Help editing hosts file

I'm running one-click root, unleash the beast, circle battery and ext2 lag fix. Unleash the beast updated my hosts file to block ads but unfortunately also blocks the Audiogalaxy servers which I'd like to use for their new streaming app.
Trying to edit the hosts file I did an adp pull to my PC, edited the file and saved. But I can't push it back to /system/etc/hosts as I get a "permission denied" error.
After some reading it seems this means my root directory doesn't mounted with write permissions. I tried "adb root" but it gives me error "cannot run as root in production builds" and tried "adb remount" but that gives me error "remount failed: No such file or directory". I'm stuck at this point.
Any ideas? Could this be because I'm running the ext2 lag fix?

did you type in su before using pushing the file?
Edit: it would be like this
su (press enter)
adb push blah*

Yea I had tried that. "su" by itself is not a recognized command. "adb su" just prints the adb help text (lists commands).

Ok maybe I need to simplify my question:
Does anyone know how to get the root directory to mount to USB with write permissions?
This is what I use to put things in and out of /system/. Haven't a clue what most of the commands mean, but it works for me all the time.
(You have to be root'd)
Code:
First, put the file on your desktop.
adb push %userprofile%\desktop\<filename> /sdcard
adb shell
su
mount -o rw,remount /system
rm /system/.../<filename>
busybox mv /sdcard/<filename> /system/...
Hope that helps.

By the way this worked perfectly once I realized I needed to physically approve the "su" request on the phone. Thanks again.

man thanks alot for your help, but im really a noob.
wud u mind telling me step by step, i know it sounds pretty stupid but pls just guide in the right direction. Much appreciated.
Ouch. I hope you can laugh about this one day. I'm sure you'll have root again.
Have you ever heard the term "curiosity kills the cat".
You knew enough to get root, revert to stock so that you could apply 2.2.1, to discover the hard way that the .1 was mainly, if nothing more than a security patch locking out root. And now need coles notes for above. Sorry, that'll be funny after you have root again.
In the meantime, I hope you find solace in paving the road for future noobs starting new from 2.2.1.
Anyway, the majority of the guide above are sequences while in ADB. You had to use some adb to get
root the first time. Google and do a little research on the subject. You need to polish up as I think the warnings above about "don't do anything until", are warnings to avoid bricking. If this procedure is that risky then your ounce of comprehension is worth a ton of hand holding.

Looks like you don't have the rageagainstthecage binary on your phone.
Doing 'adb shell ls -l /data/local/tmp' on your computer should get you something like this:
Code:
-rwxrwxrwx shell shell 5392 2010-08-25 01:42 rageagainstthecage-arm5.bin
-rwxr-xr-x shell shell 1926944 2010-03-22 20:29 busybox
-rwxrwxrwx shell shell 26248 2010-07-22 10:20 su
-rwxrwxrwx shell shell 27688 2010-07-22 10:19 Superuser.apk
There might be some other files in there; it's these that matter. If you don't see them then do all the 'adb push' and 'adb shell chmod' stuff in the previously linked instructions.

If you can't follow these instrucstions, you should NOT be rooting anyhow, since you obviously have NO IDEA what you are doing.
1) Get rageagainstthecage-arm5.bin
http://stealth.openwall.net/xSports/RageAgainstTheCage.tgz
2) Get Superuser.apk, busybox,su
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/1327667/freenexus.zip
3) Get the Android SDK (ADB)
http://dl.google.com/android/android-sdk_r07-windows.zip
4a) Unzip android SDK (e.g. so that the tools folder is F:\ADB\)
4b) connect Nexus One with with "applications=>development=>USB debug enabled" (and install USB driver if necessary)
5) Unzip/unrar files within RageAgainstTheCage.tgz to F:\ADB\
6) Unzip/unrar files within freenexus.zip to F:\ADB\
7) Open command prompt go to F:\ADB
[7b) Verify that your nexus one is connected and responding - type "adb devices" it should list your N1
8) Now within the command prompt do the following (commands in bold - the rest gives you an indication of the results)
(Note: if you get $ instead of #, just go back and repeat the instructions from where it says $ ./rageagainstthecage. Worked like a charm on the second try for me.)

So i have to create a new folder named ADB and thne unzip all teh stuff in it??
because before i was unzipping the android-sdk_r07-windows.zip & then the folder named android-sdk_r07-windows & i was upzipping freenexus.zip & RageAgainstTheCage.tgz in the tools folder in the android-sdk_r07-windows folder.
So correct me if im wrong instead of android-sdk_r07-windows folder I have to make a new folder named F:\ADB and then unzinp android-sdk_r07-windows.zip & freenexus.zip & RageAgainstTheCage.tgz in teh F;\ADB folder not in the android-sdk_r07-windows tools folder??
Please advise?>?

Sorry this is so basic ... if you don't understand folder structures, you really SHOULD NOT ROOT!
Do NOT do it! Maybe after using computers for a couple of years you can "upgrade" to rooting your phone.

I can admire how you're so annoyed but I guess i gotta suck it up cus It I who is in need.
LOL! i've been using computers for a while now & I do undrestand the folder structure pretty well why would i think that? Cus I was able to root the phone the first time.
It's just that i find the description so confusing, I use windows, dunno what OS are you on? But when you extract a zip file it creates a default folder of the same name so...
But i really don't think that my question was that hard, which shot you over the moon & piss you off and made you tell me to learn basic computing first.
All i asked was If I am suppose to make a separate folder named ADB & if I sould extract every thing in it rather than the default unzipped folder that windows makes. But I guess If you're so annoyed then i'l leave it for some one else, I am quite sure one of the purpose of this forum is to get and give help. And im pretty sure that there will be someone who can help me or perhaps i'll find a way myself. But anyways thanks alot for your time, you've been nothing but great help. LOL! And I mean it...

[HOWTO] Root Nexus One 2.2.1 FRG83D without OEM unlock

This guide is for people who want root but want to keep their stock rom, not breaking the warranty, unlocking bootloader etc.
A proud ubuntu user, I am writing this in a new thread purely because the manual rageagainstthecage method and SuperOneClick method did not not work for me, see link to my conclusion below if you care
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=11305312&postcount=2526
What did work however was via adb shell using psneuter and its fairly simple if you follow the following commands.
This guide assumes you know how to get access to the shell via adb, if you dont then search elsewhere for a useful guide
OK lets get to business!
1. Download the attached nexus_one_softroot.tar from the bottom of this post and extract contents to the same folder as adb
2. Open up your terminal, cd to the same folder as adb and the extracted files
3. Enter the following commands:
Code:
sudo ./adb push psneuter /data/local/tmp/psneuter
sudo ./adb push busybox /data/local/tmp/busybox
sudo ./adb push su /data/local/tmp/su
sudo ./adb shell chmod 755 /data/local/tmp/psneuter
sudo ./adb shell chmod 755 /data/local/tmp/busybox
sudo ./adb shell chmod 755 /data/local/tmp/su
sudo ./adb shell
After this you should see only a $ which tells us that we at the android command line with user privileges only, lets continue
Code:
$ cd /data/local/tmp
$ ls
busybox
su
psneuter
$ ./psneuter
property service neutered.
killing adbd. (should restart in a second or two)
You will now be kicked out of android shell, lets go back in
Code:
sudo ./adb shell
After this you should see only a # which tells us that we root baby! If you want to double check issue this command
Code:
# id
uid=0(root) gid=0(root)
Lets continue on. From this point we will install busybox and su which will make root permanent
Code:
# mount -o remount,rw -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system
# cd /data/local/tmp
# ./busybox cp busybox /system/bin
# chmod 4755 /system/bin/busybox
# busybox cp su /system/bin
# chmod 4755 /system/bin/su
# exit
For some reason I sometimes have to enter exit twice to leave the android shell. Again, re-access the android shell
Code:
sudo ./adb shell
Now in the android shell we can finish up
Code:
# su
# mount -o remount,ro -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system
# exit
# exit
Lastly we must install Superuser, and I did this from the android market so I knew its the latest version, its simple to get, less command input etc.
Now you have root! I hope this was simple enough to follow, I have not really written a guide before but from lots of searching I just could not find a solution for my Nexus One 2.2.1 FRG83D, especially any guide that uses psneuter.
Anyway, glad to contribute
EDIT - also, being new to starting threads, this may not quite be in the right section of the forum, sorry if thats the case mods

I believe this is due to a change in the kernel as it is upgraded into gingerbread, the input/output controls have changed, leaving psneuter out of date with the current kernel.
However if an exploit is found with the kernel used in 2.3.3, you can use it in place of psneuter with the above method.

Hi Jakk,
I'm not a developer, but, the error seems indicate that adb can't remount as RW the /system, so:
1) adb shell work? (you must see a "#" if you are root)
2) have you installed busybox?
3) the 01newcache script in init.d directory work if you have a rom/kernel that suppor init.d
I use the script and i can confirm that work very fine
Bye
Idk
1) How am i able to see that? Should i see a # at the ADB CMD box? Root checker veryfies that my device is rooted.
2) Yes it's installed using V1.16.2androidminimal - updating now.
3) How can i check if my ROM supports that? My rom is the Stock safe Rom provided when flashing to Overcome.
Using the "adb shell" command in ADB gives me a $
using the adb shell command gives me the $ as i said.
When using the command su it gives me the # you're where talking about.

Hi Jakk,
Yes, so you have a working superuser thats ok, but if you have stock kernel (i think) there isn't any init.d support so the only way is to try manually.
Another way is installing a custom rom (boca, overcome, etc..) or custom kernel that have init.d support.

There is some errore message when you try to remount via adb? Try to remount filsystem directly in a root shell, here :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=859712
there is, at the end of first post, the instruction to mount r/o the /system
Bye

Hmm actually not sure that there is a custom kernel installed (i don't suppose since it's a stock firmware, then the kernel should be stock - dosen't allow me to overglock however xD )
I've get this message:
Code:

I'll suppose that this is what im gonna write in adb?

Tried to flash the overcome kernel v3.3.1
Also i've connected the tab while in recovery mode now i get a ~$ when entering adb shell.

Hi Jakk,
1) adb is use only from PC (windows or linux), there isn't any adb command into android OS...
2) My mistake: read this links: http://android-tricks.blogspot.com/2009/01/mount-filesystem-read-write.html and http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=685146; the above command is about rfs (Samsung Robust File System); if you have converted the filesystem into ext4, i'm not sure that above command work....
sorry

Im am able to mount using the
Code:
mount -o rw,remount -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system
Command you told me about but when i try to push the newcache file
Code:
adb push 01newcache /system/etc/init.d/
it simply says:
adb: Not found
When trying to copy it outside the shell it says:
failed to copy "01newcache" to "system/etc/init.d/": Is a directory.

Hi,
if you try the adb into android phone shell, simply don't work because adb is a windows command (adb = android debug bridge).
The good is seems you have the init.d directory, so try this:
go to android phone shell and remount /system
in a windows cmd shell do this:
adb push 01newcache /system/etc/init.d/
return into android phone shell:
adb shell
cd /system/etc/init.d
chmod 777 01newcache
ls -l /system/etc/init.d (to show the contend of init.d)
exit
Bye
So you mean that i'll just simply open a cmd box without refering to adb and then use the adb push 01newcache /system/etc/init.d/ command? How's that gonna work?
If you've got the time could you please assist me over teamwiever or something similair?

Hi Jakk,
Rollback, read this:
http://www.addictivetips.com/mobile/what-is-adb-and-how-to-install-it-android/
The operation is in 2 steps, pc and android terminal: adb is pc side the rest in android terminal.
I'm sorry, i prefer forum support, i've no time at this moment.....
If i'm not clear enough please tell me, i don't know your skill level...
Bye

pretty skilled, gonna start my IT-technician education after christmas, and i've know a bit bat programming from working with windows server and also a bit html and php.
capable of flashing ROMS, unbricking etc but haven't used ADB before. I've configured adb the exact same way as the tut you've sent me.
However i still just get's error codes like adb not found, remount not found, Is a directory, or are you sure you are rooted?

Is working ?:
Code:
adb shell
If yes then:
Code:
su
mount -o remount rw /system
then - if you are not able to use "push" - copy the file in your SDcard then, while in adb shell:
Code:
cp /sdcard/yourfile /your-destination/
Seem easy
then which one am i going to choose? The overwrite?
and am i just supposed to write it like this:
cp /mnt/sdcard/01newcache /system/etc/init.d/
Because then i've get a cp can't create /system/etc/init.d/: Is a directory

Try this:

Bye
If you have the init.d folder then just manul copy "01newcache" to your sd card and from your tab, with a root explorer (i use esfile explorer with root option enabled from option menu) copy it to system/etc/init.d.
...to solve the original problem...
I fixed this on my device from a windows command prompt by typing "adb root" , which restarts the daemon on the device with root permissions.

[CF3D] Help please! Couldn't find a solution..I'm stuck!!

Okay I've done enough research before deciding to make this post but couldn't find any solution.
Situation is I tried to install CF3D using CWM and now I'm stuck at the black boot screen that says GT N7000.
I tried to log into ADB shell and execute /system/lib/cf3d_uninstall.sh since that is the general solution but it seems I do not have the file there. Can someone give me the sh file if they have or tell me how to remove the drivers manualls through the ADB shell so that I can boot back normally. I did not backup before doing this..and I guess today isn't my day! Please help me remove the drivers! It's a little urgent.
I am new to the ADB shell concept and these are the commands I executed after connecting:
adb devices
adb shell
su
ls -d */
cd system
cd lib
sudo cf3d_uninstall.sh
Here it says that the file isn't found.

Resolved (for me) :
I actually had the same error using the same command you did. You made a mistake though : when using an "sh" script, you have to invoke it's command, simply using "sh" before the name of the script you attempt to launch.
This is the way you have to go :
you should have typed : "sudo sh cf3d_uninstall.sh"
I actually managed to get it to work this way, and to stop boot loop / freeze (call it whatever you want), as it actually DID uninstall CF3D faulty drivers.
DO NOT USE CF3D with Jelly Bean, at the moment at least. Though Chainfire wrote he wouldn't develop anymore his drivers for JB, as it would need too much coding, again. Stick to GB or even ICS (it used to work for me)
--------
Full technique :
Prerequisites :
-CWM
-Aroma File Manager : Download it here :
Way to go :
-Take out your SD card from your device
-Copy Aroma FM to your Ext. SD Card using a microSD adapter (you can find one at any classical SD card retailer for a few bucks)
-Stick it back in your device
-Launch ClockWorkRecoveryMod
-"Install zip file"
-"Install from SD Card'
-Choose Aroma FM zip file, and install it.
-Tap on option key to get option menu, and launch the shell
-Then type :
su
cd system
cd lib
sh cf3d_uninstall.sh
Your device will automatically reboot, and boot your system normally.
