First of all, Linux and OS X come with sqlite3 by default. Windows users will need to download the executable. With that said, here is how you can enable sideloading the old-fashioned way.
Code:
[[email protected] ~]$ adb shell
$ su
# busybox cp /data/data/com.android.providers.settings/databases/settings.db /data/data/com.android.providers.settings/databases/settings.db.bak
# chown system.system /data/data/com.android.providers.settings/databases/settings.db
# ls -l /data/data/com.android.providers.settings/databases/settings.db*
# busybox cp /data/data/com.android.providers.settings/databases/settings.db /sdcard
# exit
$ exit
[[email protected] ~]$ adb pull /sdcard/settings.db
sqlite3 settings.db
sqlite> SELECT * FROM secure WHERE name="install_non_market_apps";
3|install_non_market_apps|0
sqlite> UPDATE secure SET value=1 WHERE name="install_non_market_apps";
sqlite> SELECT * FROM secure WHERE name="install_non_market_apps";
3|install_non_market_apps|1
sqlite> .quit
[[email protected] ~]$ adb push settings.db /sdcard/
[[email protected] ~]$ adb shell
$ su
# busybox cp /sdcard/settings.db /data/data/com.android.providers.settings/databases/settings.db
# chown system.system /data/data/com.android.providers.settings/databases/settings.db
# ls -l /data/data/com.android.providers.settings/databases/settings.db*
# exit
$ exit
[[email protected] ~]$ adb reboot
You should be all set.

1) Great if you use Wind'oh!s which I refuse to do.
2) I like to know how things work.
I think this work on only rooted devices. If that case we have one already which will root it and also side load apps.
You got the phone gdanko?! Cool
I'll do it this way for kicks when I get my phone lol

Yes, it's always great to know how things work.
But it looks like SuperOneClick is not just confined to Windows.
It is compatible with:
Windows Vista
Windows 7
Ubuntu Hardy (8.04 LTS)
Ubuntu Jaunty (9.04)
Ubuntu Karmic (9.10)
Ubuntu Lucid (10.04 LTS)
Ubuntu Maverick (10.10)
Debian Lenny (5.0)
Debian Squeeze (testing)
Debian Sid (unstable)
Debian Experimental
SuperOneClick uses Mono on Linux platforms, so most any of the modern ones should work. I used it on my openSUSE box and it worked just fine for allowing non-market installs.
Can anyone do this a little more nood friendly? And/or does this require root?

Follow briefmobile's tutorial. And yes, it requires root.
If I am not mistaken gdanko doesnt use any of those operating systems. He uses a mac...
Maybe his old school ways will help uncover some mysterious portal into the Atrix that will allow cracking the bootloader...
I just finished running superoneclick. I wanted to double check that my phone is now allowing unknown sources, but i dont see the checkbox where it should be. Is this normal? Thanks!

Fails on Ubuntu 64. And installing mono and a host of other things for something so trivial is pointless.

Don't tell me to search, as I have been googling and searching this forum for over a week and found nothing but SuperOneClick which also required me to downgrade.
I probably missed it due to "Last edited by Ririal; 23rd April 2011 at 01:40 AM. Reason: Updates"

It has nothing to do with respect, and I don't have an attitude. Relax, guy.
All the information is readily available, all you need to do is look for it. There's several threads on the first page of the development forum (which you found as you're posting in it) that contain the information you need. One of the threads is even clearly labeled: "[HOWTO] Easy Root 1.5.7 using GingerBreak"
So sorry, I get a little short with people who ask questions that are already answered. Don't take it personally. Here's the breakdown:
There's currently 2 methods of root, one is GladRoot, which requires you to downgrade first. The other is GingerBreak, which formats your phone data. Pick your poison.

This little gem of a phone is a tough little thing to custom install apps on, but that didn't stop the Coburn from being able to get busybox installed.
Therefore, introducing Busybox for your HTC Click/Tattoo!
FOLLOW THIS TUTORIAL CAREFULLY. This guide may brick or NOT brick your Tattoo (most likely the latter), however I cannot assure you that it's 100% fail proof. I have installed it successfully. IN OTHER WORDS: THIS IS NOT FOR THE FAINT HEARTED! IF YOU DO NOT KNOW WHAT 'FLASH','ADB' OR 'HACK' MEANS, PLEASE DO NOT CONTINUE.
Requirements:
1 HTC Tattoo (The Victim)
1 MS Windows Powered Computer (I used Win7 64Bit)
1 HTC Tattoo -> USB Cable (Included with phone... Well, it was in the box).
Download the package attached to this post. Extract all files to a directory like C:\BUSYCLICK . (Actually, please extract them there).
Installation
Connect your Tattoo to your phone, make sure USB Debugging is enabled (Settings -> Applications -> Development) and sit back. Windows should say "New Hardware! OMG!" and ask "What is this piece of tech?" (aka New Hardware Install Wizard). On XP, allow to search Windows Update. On Vista/7, I'm going to have to get back to you on that. The installed driver will be like "HTC Dream blah blah blah ADB Interface" or something. Odd why it says it's a HTC Dream...
Anyway, go to the folder where you extracted the files, and run the Installation.bat file. It's the one that says "Installation" With the cogs icon.
You'll get a DOS Prompt and some text, PAY ATTENTION! My installer will hold your hand and explain what's happening. Should any errors occur, you may be out of space on your Tattoo's internal memory or something. If you do get errors, please post them here! I'll try to fix them for you guys and girls.
Post-install tasks
When complete, run the TestBusybox.bat script in the same folder where you extracted the BusyBox files, and you should get some output. If not, busybox failed to install... Let me know what the error is and I'll try to fix it.
Notes:
You can use the busybox commands in /data/local/bin from "adb shell" or a terminal emulator on the phone itself... /data/local/bin/sh DOES NOT work from adb shell, I don't know why. It will work using a terminal emulator. Try "/data/local/bin/free" and such for some memory read outs, etc, etc.
Feel free to love/like/hate/kill/shoot my work, you can expect to see ROMs and the like in the near future as I love hacking devices.
Cheers,
Coburn64
Ok busybox installed normally...
Do i have root acces with busybox now? I dont see su...
C:\Busybox>adb shell /data/local/busybox ls /data
ls: can't open '/data': Permission denied
I do see /data/local and under tho... including ../bin and ../rights but dont see any use of it...
Coburn Hi, this is a step closer to being root
can be root in busybox?
chmod command does?
thx
Code:
benno.id.au/blog/2007/11/14/android-busybox
chmod command is useless without su...If only su worked
Installed and worked fine, can run busybox but:
it runs with shell privileges
setting setuid bit doesn't solve, because I can chown to root
Do I miss something?
Thanks Really appreciate your work!
Do you have to install the new RUU Click HTC WWE 1.63.405.1 WWE test signed NoDriver first?

All this does is allows you to run more commands from the shell in Android, whereas the standard shell doesn't have many commands built-in. Could be used in conjuction with a root hack.
One step more, but nothing to do with root
I'm starting to believe that Click will never have a root method working because its underused compared with other android devices

Busybox just allows you to use more features at the adb shell command line. So, yeah. Heh.
You lost me at 'adb shell command line'. Is that some command line provided by the Android SDK?

That's the code for the old asroot exploit (used in the Hero IIRC). It's been patched in August/09 so it won't affect the kernel in stock Tattoos.
Yeah, that's what I was getting at - the exploit is too old.
We need to either:
1) Get a S-OFF bootloader
2) Find another working root exploit
3) Dig around in the test ROM and extract the SU binary out of that sucker and put it in /data/local on the working ROM.
I think I can do the latter.
HTML:
The new update blocks the current ways of attaining root for the device. However, if you have root before you update, it is possible to retain this during the upgrade.
Script is online!
A newer version is available here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=12540398#post12540398
Yeah... I'll just wait for you
Thanks for this! been holding out on the update ever since I found out you lose root during the beta testings
if this works i guess it's time to get my desktop back up and running so i can flash back and use this. damn power supplies dying on me.
ill wait for ur auto script
will this b possible btw neone?
Flash the 1.5.7 sbf -> run gblur custom rom -> run the root scrip
No Gingerblur needs root to push its files, also if you need a host I can host
Scripts are online!
Run beforeupdate.bat, update, then run afterupdate.bat.
Haven't tried it yet but wanted to say thanks and great work!
--EDIT -- BELIEVE THIS IS FIXED--
you didn't package the bin folder with psneuter.. :X
In reference to "adb.exe push movesu.sh /data/local/tmp > NUL 2>&1"
movesu.sh is now backup.sh, yes?
Also busybox "mv /system/xbin/su /system/bin/frozenfish" clobbers the copy from system/bin, if there is a difference, i thought it was generally a symlink to /system/bin.
Other than that, good idea in renaming the binary file, I probably won't use frozenfish in case Motorola targets that now..
Sounds sweet! If I already updated can I flash back to old then re root? Then run script then update?
Sent from my MB860 using XDA App
Update: Yes You Can ! just finished..
Whoops - I based it from adeo without making the proper changes. Corrected one should be live in a few minutes.
all good take your time..
so far the only corrections were the movesu.sh in beforeupdate.bat
and the missing /bin folder :X .. well technically you just need psneuter in there.. and just change the /bin/psneuter.. to /psneuter saves you time lol
The new version is up. It depends on su being installed on the system. You'll also need to OK a request by Superuser for root before it will run on beforeupdate.bat.
curious as the previous workaround used webtop to retain root through LXterminal... with root on here, will we be able to re-apply the Webtop mod?
by the way, good work
"movesu.sh" is called but doesn't exist.

How hard was it to root? Was the bootloader unlocked or just an easy unlock?
I was trying to decide between the Thunderbolt and the Revolution(not a samsung fan).

That's good to hear! I will voice my support for a Revolution forum. I'm loving the device so far - it's a solid phone that seems to be more than the sum of it's specs, and honestly I like the hardware build more than my OG Droid.
not sure if where allowed to post links, but androidcentral has a little community going already. The root thread has over 2k views alone. Seems like that should be good enough sign for a thread started here.
http://forum.androidcentral.com/lg-revolution/
Its definitley a solid device.
I upgraded from the Droid1 to this, and this phone is great! Loving it so far. I don't know if I want to go the custom rom route with this phone, but it would be nice to have some developer interest and some options down the road. I sure hope the Rev picks up interest because it really is a good device. With that said, I think the Rev having its own section can only help to increase awareness and interest in this phone.

Just a note for some. The rageagainstthecage bin file may be detected as a virus/trojan. It is not. You may want to disable your antivirus before downloading the .bin file.
I run avira on my desktop and it caught the file as a virus everytime I downloaded it and then deleted it. Avast on my laptop however did not.
Root is simple if you follow the instructions. You need to make sure that adb recognizes your device. Takes 5 minutes to complete, took me longer to install adb again and update it.

Oh ya I know, I just always keep a stock one, on the Inc if you factory reset from an AOSP rom, you'd bootloop, so you had to make sure you were on a Sense 1.0 or stock rom(from my experience), so I was just making sure it was no big deal to go back.
Any idea when we will have cw on this?

Doing a factory reset I believe will unroot you. There is no nand back up at this time. We are waiting for a recovery mod.

That's what i figured. Can anyone verify if you remove SU and Rage through adb will it unroot?

If you have to return your device, simply remove the superuser app, after you unfreeze anything you may have frozen then factory reset. They honestly will never know it was rooted. The only way now that you can really tell is the super user app from market.
Just so everyone knows. SuperOneClick can root and unroot this phone ok.

Cool thanks for checking. Any benefits for ADB over S1C? Can't wait to finally root and freeze half these apps. I think we need a few more twitters to praise koush for a recovery on this beast.

Is there recovery for this now? Did I miss something?

No No, I was saying we need to praise Koush's good work so he will make one faster .
And Stetsonaw, any idea if I root through ADB, can I unroot with S1C, since it uses the same idea.
S1C for whatever reason will not run(tried three computers, a XP, Vista, and Win7 lol), it keeps freezing at the same spot, everytime.
Should be able to, since S1C does what the ADB method does... or you could just delete the 'su' file out of /system/bin and /system/xbin (if it's there) to unroot.
EDIT: I couldn't get S1C to open on my desktop, and my laptop, which would open the program, would bluescreen when i connected the phone, so i had no choice but to do it the ADB way.

Hmmm, ya now my computer for whatever reason won't open up ADB through command. This is getting irritating lol. Should be nice and simple, but it just won't go through. If I downloaded the SDK Manager like 4 months ago, it shouldn't matter, correct?
make sure you change directory to wherever your adb.exe is located... as in:
Code:
cd C:\Program Files\Android\android-sdk-windows\platform-tools
I don't know if I am the only one who realized there's su binary already in the build. Anyway, this is a shorter route to have root working on your phone. This only works with the HKTW 2.3.4 build! And this instruction have only be tested by me. So, do take precautionary measures.
DOWNLOAD: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/6418171/SuperUser.zip
INSTRUCTIONS:
1. Extract the zip to your internal storage (i.e. /sdcard)
2. Get into the phone shell i.e.
adb shell
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
3. Then, type and press enter:
su
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
4. Lastly, copy and paste these whole chunk to your phone shell and press enter:
mount -o remount,rw /dev/block/mmcblk0p12 /system && cp /sdcard/SuperUser/su /system/bin/su && chmod 6755 /system/bin/su && cp /sdcard/SuperUser/SuperUser.apk /system/app/SuperUser.apk && mv /system/xbin/su /system/xbin/dosu

If there's no error with the output, you should have root access on your phone now. Tada! Do report of this works for you!
Will try and report if it works or not

Well I know I shouldn't say it here...
But is the HKTW rom blurred or blurless?
Different kind of blur but its still blur
Sent from my MB860 using XDA App
Do you mean Blur 4.5?
I don't know what its called lol
Sent from my MB860 using XDA App
Trying it out now. Will report back.
And this has Blur on it. It's not a custom ROM.
Anyone else experiencing issues getting their phone recognize by adb

For some reason USB debugging does not seem to be working properly, even with stay awake checked.
EDIT:
An even easier way.
I decided to run beforeupdate.bat and afterupdate.bat and was able to successfully gain root access on hktw-2.3.4.

Can you be more specifically on those files? Where to download and how exactly did you go about running those files?
Do I need the SDK for rooting it?
THIS WORKS ON WINDOWS, OSX, AND LINUX
once you type in adb shell then type dosu instead of su and see if that helps
I get an error at the last part when I put it in cmd
Whenever I type in 'su', I get permission denied - and dosu doesn't work either.
