Yea, you'd think that would'nt you.. When I run Regs "root me" , It tells me I'm already rooted, but when I try the command, $ su , I get the above message..or permission denied..

Also, I see # from adb shell command, but the phone thinks its not rooted. What up with that. If I try to install busybox it says " No root access" , rom manager the same thing...all I want to do is install a recovery so I can get off the stock rom..

Have you tried something as simple as updating su in the play store and trying? If not, try flashing an HERCIMG recovery through hboot.

Old old thread but if someone encounters this again, it is due to busybox SU not having the correct permissions and can be corrected easily.
I got the info from here: ttp://forum.nas-forum.org/index.php?page=Thread&threadID=526
Quoted from that page:
Code:
su: must be suid to work properly
I finally discovered that /bin/busybox which provides su (and in fact almost all commands) has not its set UID , i.e. the unix rights are
Code:
rwxr-xr-x instead of rwsr-xr-x
i could finally change the rights with
Code:
chmod 4755 /bin/busybox
and su works fine again

Just thought I would share since I saw this on my synology NAS and it pretty much directly applies to this issue from an age ago.

yes, you need to su in order to make it work as administrator.

jesusfreak 1.5 acting strange

hey i just rooted my g1 and installed jesus freak 1.5 but when i "su" it gives me a permissions pop up to allow it to sh and when i click allow it its still not letting me do su commands because I've been trying to install Debian and everything works until i get to:
su
# chmod 4755 *
permission denied
so i thought it might be i have a bad busy box so when i try to start to install:
mkdir /data/busybox ,
permissions denied
how is it im not root but i have jesus freak 1.5? i know it must work slightly because the web browsers multi-touch work, so does root task manger and it even says "[email protected] #2" build number "CRB43" so i know the firmware has to be correct. and if it helps i installed via the rc29 telnet root method with a hard spl. so how can i gain root in jesus freak 1.5? its driving me mad ive been wanting to install debian for a month now >:O

[HACK] Busybox for HTC Tattoo - CoburnBrew Flavor! :D

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?

Sorry if I lost you. Let me sum it up: It's a 'feature pack' for Android Developers, which could be used in conjunction with rooting tools.

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.

Temp root for apps required root access (for s-on IS)

Psneuter exploit is working on IS, but because /system is locked on s-on phones, we can't copy su and superuser.apk into /system, apps required root access can't work.
The following procedure uses psenuter exploit to gain adb shell root, and then copy su (without privilege control ) and busybox into /sbin (which is on rootfs and in the global PATH list) to gain root access for apps.
The procedure:
1. Unzip the attached .zip into a directory (like c:\adb)
2. Open a command prompt and cd to the directory where you extracted the .zip (like cd \adb)
3. run pushroot.bat (simply type pushroot)
4. adb shell /data/local/tmp/getroot
5. adb shell
6. you are now in # prompt. Type /data/local/tmp/pushroot
You have to redo steps 4,5,6 once you reboot your phone.
The procedure will have all apps gaining root access.
!!USE ON YOUR OWN RISK!!
Known working programs: Root explorer, Titanium backup, gscript lite, trasproxy 2.04, ...
Some apps check existence of su in /system/xbin , and reject to proceed if the su binary is not exist (like transproxy 3.08). For this kind of apps, this procedure won't help.
Nice but old news mate...

Good job...thanks
Thanks for writing this up, might quell the thirst for S-OFF a little longer
/system/ is writeable btw, if you remount it, but after reboot everything u done will be changed to the way it were before.
so a temp root in xbin is possible also, only it will be gone afterwards (atleast i never tried this, but should work also...)
Yes. /system could be remount in rw with root. However, the files you wrote will be gone after you remount ro, and then you won't be able to copy the same filename into the same location again before next reboot ( I don't know why, actually!!). This is why I put su in sbin instead of /system/xbin.
thanks to your files 非常感谢你的工作。
Does anyone know whether steps 4, 5 and 6 can be run from the device itself?
Can I put these commands into some sort of script and run it everytime I need temp root or would I need to do this from a computer every time?

Definitely, this is the way to go.
Unfortunately, the root exploit I know could run on device itself, including
rageagainstthecage (ratc) and local root exploit (hotplug) both failed on IS.
The solution will be nearly perfect if we can get temp root on IS without a computer link.
Any input will be welcome.

Please then type adb shell.
If you see # but not $, do
cd /data/local/tmp
rm ./cp
ln busybox cp
./pushroot
Then you finished the install.
If you see $, please do all over again.
You can also add ShootMe (screen capture app) and SetCPU to the list of working apps. SetCPU will only allow you underclock for now due to the kernel, but it is a nice touch if you are worried about battery life. Adfree doesn't appear to work

What site/app are you going to so I can see if I get the ads.
the anti-ads actually tries to modify the current host file... which is not allowed in your state as far as i know
what you can do is replace it by pushin it to the right spot
but after reboot gone,but sure u know
Adfee is working for me, you can also add Droidwall.

But I am kinda happy now, because i can use Titanium Backup

Root instructions...

If you followed the directions exactly on a version 4 phone, this should work no problem.

Links to the necessary files are listed at the bottom.
Remember, I am not at fault if you brick your phone, now, proceed.
Connect your phone in charge only mode to install the LG Bootstrapper and drivers, or grab the LG Universal Drivers.
Change your USB Mode to Internet Connection
Go into Settings/Applications/Development and ensure USB Debugging is turned on
If all goes according to plan, you should see the ADB Ladybug icon in your notification bar
I updated the Rootzwiki page with the same info found below.
Busybox actually comes installed by LG on the Revo, how awesome is that??
Download the rageagainstthecage binary
Download the SU binary
Move these files to the same directory your adb.exe is in.
Code:
The > and # characters below illustrate the prompt
you should have, if you have the $ when you go into adb shell,
exit out and type 'adb usb' then go back into adb shell and
you should see the #
Open Command prompt (either use the Windows Key+R and type cmd or start/run, then type cmd)
32-bit users: >cd c:\program files\android\android-sdk\platform-tools
64-bit users: >cd c:\program files (x86)\android\android-sdk\platform-tools
Or >cd (whatever directory adb is in)
>adb devices (verifies you are connected)
>adb push rageagainstthecage-arm5.bin /data/local/temp/rage
(if the above command fails due to read-only, type 'adb usb' then 'adb root' to validate root status, then 'adb devices' again to verify connection)
>adb push su /data/local/temp/su
>adb shell chmod 777 /data/local/temp/rage
>adb shell ./data/local/temp/rage
>adb shell (If this gives you a $ prompt instead of a # prompt, type 'su', if that fails, 'exit', 'adb usb' like above.)
#mount -o remount,rw -t ext3 /dev/mmcblk0p12 /system
#busybox cp /data/local/temp/su /system/bin/su
#chmod 6755 /system/bin/su
Verify the file is in place w/correct permissions
#cd /system/bin
#ls -l *su
After the ls command you should see the following returned by the system:
-rwsr-sr-x root root 26248 2011-05-29 01:09 su
At this point, you may way to remove the files you put in /data/local/temp (optional):
#rm /data/local/temp/su
#rm /data/local/temp/rage
continue with commands
#reboot
Download and install SuperUser from the Market

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.

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.

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

[HOWTO] Root HKTW 2.3.4 - The easier way

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.

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.

having the same issue with SU
Are there any other alternatives to root currently?

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.
