This is great news!! Sorry if I have missed it.. but could you updat ethe op with the source as well!!
[HTC Sensation] Steve0007:
Let's the party start soon :)

Great job and thanks guys
[HTC Sensation] cmart4:
coming from the EVO to the Sensation, teamwin was an essential piece of getting results, ie 4g to AOSP.

This is great news everyone.
[HTC Sensation] ridikolous:
Wow, nice job teamwin. *running around doing the sundrop dance*.
[HTC Sensation] nugzo:
Why so happy? what are you going to do now?
[HTC Sensation] xdviper:
Now if we could get an app like visionary to temp root we'll be fine. It sjoildny be too hard to write an app would it?
[HTC Sensation] Shaquiel Harris:
ran gingerbreak and z4root.. seems as if they aren't even attempting to do anything when reading the logcat.

EDIT: ran permoot using z4root.. froze up my phone.. ill keep trying.
[HTC Sensation] NICEGYPT:
Go ahead and extract the zip and take all the files to tools in the sdk and run adb normal. It will work
[HTC Sensation] nugzo:
That is what i thought after hearing #teamwin talk the past few days, and reading the entire IRC question and answer session. but so many people are acting like pure crazy folks about flashing this exploit, i thought i may have mis understood #teamwin. I did not, just a whole lot of other people who obviously did misunderstand (or didnt listen) :rolleyes: Thanks for the response.

So to you CRAZY FOLKS out there lol.. Get some sleep already, we'll have a reason to stay up and flash soon enough!!! just not right now :)
[HTC Sensation] jreed3786:
Do you have the connection set to disk drive and USB debugging checked on? If so, make sure you have the correct USB drivers installed via SDK Manager...the platform-tools 5 installed....and then download HTC Sync for your computer. Run that, then try to adb devices after you get into your platform-tools folder prompt. Lemme know what happens.:p

So basically, you should have a folder in C: called android-sdk-windows. Inside that folder, you should have add-ons/extras/platforms/platform-tools/temp/tools/SDK Manager/SDK Readme in there. Inside of platform-tools folder you will find the newly moved adb file. This means that from now on, to use adb commands, you will have to c:\android-sdk-windows\platform-tools\ NOT tools. Tools was used in older adb times. Once type in that string into cmd...you should be able to type adb devices after setting your phone to disk drive...and you'll be all gravy, bay-bee!
[HTC Sensation] Jimmy Flip:
Guys, don't have a Sensation to test this, but temp root should be enough to freeze bloatware. From a root shell, use the command:

pm disable <package name>

Get the package name using the command:

pm list packages
[HTC Sensation] swiftinmotion:
lol exactly.. no sesne in doing this if your not trying to contribute.. untill then i will sit back and wait.. hopefully its sooner then later!!
[HTC Sensation] nugzo:
great explanation, thank you! Just sent you a $50 for the great start! Have a great holiday weekend!
[HTC Sensation] jdelforge5684:
Thanks in advance to all the devs who'll undoubtedly finish cracking this nut!

What do frozen beer, burned pizza, and pregnant women have in common? Somebody didn't pull it out in time.

This may sound stupid but is it possible to install an app via adb shell?

C:\AndroidSDK\tools>adb shell

[HTC Sensation] wrxtc714:
You don't need to

Just use adb install

You need to exit your shell though first

[HTC Sensation] deanesn:
Try pushing it only and browse to the directory with a file barrier browser from the phone? If that is yet possible.
[HTC Sensation] deanesn:
Has anyone tried pushing su binary and then installing the app?
[HTC Sensation] wrxtc714:
So the app is trying to install to data local?

You may need to wait to use this one
[HTC Sensation] ionballer:
As of right now no need for noobs to use this. It's temp temp root. This is only going to help devs build off of what they have done. You can't use it for any root required apps until someone figures otherwise. Teamwin believes they should have titanium backup figured out by Sunday
[HTC Sensation] clubtech:
Tried this on the flyer...says device not supported. I hope they will enable this on the flyer as well.
[HTC Sensation] Ali_Shaikh:
Ok I wont do this then until the full one comes out. Thanks!
[HTC Sensation] wrxtc714:
Are you using terminal or adb

I get device not supported when trying to run it from my phone but works fine from an adb shell.
[HTC Sensation] mamarda:
i need just temp root, to install Georgian fonts on my sensation, otherwise I can't read emails and web in Georgian language, once it is installed it remains also after unrooting.
[HTC Sensation] cmstlist:
I think the fonts are inside /system which will be write-locked until S-OFF can be acheived. So temp root won't help you there.
[HTC Sensation] wrxtc714:
As far as installing apps and making backups

Just give it a couple more days at the most.

Hang tight.
[HTC Sensation] mamarda:
on market there is an app that installs georgian, here is description:

as I understand temp-root is same as root, only difference is that it gives you temporary root, before restarting device
[HTC Sensation] umd:
Right now this might be helpful only for flashing RUUs.

How can we use this to flash uncompatible RUU's? For ex. flasing 1.35.401.1 RUU to 1.28.707.2 phone.

Is that possible with using temp root?
[HTC Sensation] jermx:
Those who cannot achieve temp root or have problem hang tight! Application for temproot coming soon by shinzul of #teamwin . Check out his Twitter for more info ..
[HTC Sensation] El Daddy:
So has anyone figured out how to uninstall the bloatware. I have permissions but i get read only file when trying to uninstall.
[HTC Sensation] Scoop24:
Well I know this temp root won't do much right now. But thanks to this thread I learned how to adb and was successfully able to apply the temp root.
[HTC Sensation] jbrew78:
OK, this is weird. I managed to push su to /system/bin. I checked in root explorer and it is there. Now when I try to push busybox to /system/xbin it's saying that it's a read only file system. Can't figure out how I got su to push...
[HTC Sensation] MatMew:

Open your eyes.
[HTC Sensation] El Daddy:
Relax, This isn't my first dance. I tried the usual methods. I didn't run through the whole dev forum.
[HTC Sensation] cmstlist:
The app requires root in order to gain /system write access. On a great number of phones, root alone is all you need to get that write access.

The problem is that temp root alone on the Sensation will not give you write access to /system because it is being blocked at a bootloader level rather than at the OS level. So the OS will say with temproot "sure, go ahead, you have permission to write to /system"; but when you try and actually do it, nothing will stick.
[HTC Sensation] joel.bourquard:
Hi guys,

I haven't got a chance to try this awesome temp-root tool for real yet - but for those who are trying to get Titanium Backup working, here's a hint: if you can't arrange for the "su" binary to be in $PATH, you have the option to create it at:

/data/bin/su

Titanium Backup shall then see it :p
[HTC Sensation] El Daddy:
Thanks for the clarification and not being a condescending ass.

This is my only phone I've owned with a roadblock to root. (G1, N1) I was confused as to why I couldn't mount /system/app
[HTC Sensation] mamarda:
thanks man now everything is clear :)
[HTC Sensation] gilbert11231123:
ok so i did all the steps and i got a big # at the end ,

c:\android-sdk-windows\tools>adb shell

do i have temp root because nothing will let me write in /system folder or it wont let me delete anything in system/apps......
[HTC Sensation] c19932:
I don't think he was stressed at all.
[HTC Sensation] gilbert11231123:
ok nevermind i posted it same time u posted the answer thx ......
[HTC Sensation] Evil-Dragon:
Read above your post, you have temp root but writing to /system is blocked by the bootloader at this point.
[HTC Sensation] gilbert11231123:
thx i saw it , he posted at the time i was typing my post sorry ignore question......

sucks I have to jump back and forth from the evo 3D forum to keep updated with my 3v0 on progress
[HTC Sensation] EddyOS:
This is gonna sound really dumb but where do you put the fre3vo file before pushing it to the phone? I put it in the 'platform-tools' folder but it says it can't find the file. I know how to use adb but just don't know where to start the file

And if any of you begin to think of flaming me check your post count to mine - if it's less then you have NO right to do so ;)

It's a temp-root, not a full root at the moment, rebooting will remove the root. You'll have to rerun fre3vo every time you reboot your phone at the current time.

Haha, sorry i was referring to the evo thread, but i forgot to add the link :) i'm a bit tired as i've been on the Hovefestival in norway since sunday :)
[HTC Sensation] Utking:
Seems like the first command didn't work, ala it didn't push the file at all, so the rest of them won't work. Do you have the fre3vo file in the same folder as the adb tool?
[HTC Sensation] djmaz:
ahhh, no i dont its in a seperate folder on the desktop, i go put it in the same folder and try again :)

edit, same outcome. i put the fre3vo file in the platform tools folder. is that what you mean?
[HTC Sensation] Neo3000x:
Ahhh haha sorry then, thought that it was another spam post :P
[HTC Sensation] Utking:
Hmm yes, in the same folder that you have your adb.exe file. It should work then, if not i don't have a clue :s maybe try reinstalling the SDK.

Also i tried to get Titianium to recognize root with the instructions given in the evo thread, but SU keeps chrashing, all else is working though. Could anyone else try this? http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1150926

[HTC Sensation] Crew One:
the "cannot stat" means that you need to unzip the fre3vo file first *and* open the command shell in the same directory.

You could also do:

adb push <location of fre3vo file> /data/local/tmp

The first location is the location of the file on your computer.

The second location is the location where you want to put it on your phone.

For example:

adb push D:\temp\fre3vo /data/local/tmp

Got Titanium Backup working with some files from EVO 3D section, life is good!
[HTC Sensation] borodin1:
nevermind..... mods, please delete.
[HTC Sensation] j32olger:
@utKing

Got Titanium backup working using the method above.

Worked the very first time but Titanium backup had no sqlite installed - upgraded and it failed. Tried multiple different times and it eventually worked after I ran through the entire process again from the beginning after uninstalling titanium backup and superuser.

As expected it failed again but I did the following

chmod 777 /data/local/tmp/su

cleared data from both SU and titanium backup in application manager (did not uninstall this time)

ran the ./fixsu.sh script again

launched titanium backup - superuser asked did I want to allow root access - select yes and voila - titanium backup is up and running.
[HTC Sensation] RADLOUNI:
me too

I managed to get Titanium Backup pro to work too. The problem is the following:

After i temproot and get titanium backup to work, i try to back up my apps but titanium backup suddenly stops working and gives me a message indicating that it has lost root access or it is missing some files/processes.........i dont know.

would love to be able to have the files flashed to the device persist so that titanium backup can work consistently
[HTC Sensation] Evil-Dragon:
It should work if you're using the fixsu.sh script from the Evo 3D thread. I'm backing up my files now without a problem.
[HTC Sensation] bruce2728:
post the fixsu.sh here please
[HTC Sensation] RADLOUNI:
using it

yes i am using the fixsu.sh script from the Evo 3D thread, but it is still not working

I am using titanium backup 3.8.7 Pro version

[HTC Sensation] marcjw:
For all you Linux users - both of you - make sure that you have edited your udev file to include your Sensation device or adb won't be able to detect your device. I use Ubuntu and my rules file is /etc/udev/rules.d/99-android.rules. My rules file looks like this (obviously the Sensation is the second line):

SUBSYSTEM=="usb", ATTRS{idVendor}=="0955", SYMLINK+="android_adb", MODE="0666" GROUP="plugdev" #GTablet
SUBSYSTEMS=="usb", ATTRS{idVendor}=="0bb4", ATTRS{idProduct}=="0c86", MODE="0666", GROUP="plugdev" #Sensation

Also, don't forget that the android SDK includes ddms, a nice utility that, among other things, includes the ability to take screenshots.
[HTC Sensation] neo.25:
ok, does another time and i have # without reboot.BUT NO FAKING ROOT NOT ADFREE NOT TITBACKUP NOT WORKING ((((
[HTC Sensation] t0ny0:

@marcjw:

no need to. im runnig under linux too (gentoo). just loaded adb from inet, connected my phone and everything worked. no need to change anything

now i got my cities in the weather app and after reboot they are still there, very nice. so changes to /data stay after reboot!
[HTC Sensation] RADLOUNI:
question

Hi Guys

A quick question. I was able to get titanium backup working correctly.

There is another apk that requires root and does not work yet which is "Paid Apps Enabler.apk".

I live in a country where Market is restricted and i need this application to enable it.

It am wondering why it is not working although titanium is working and SU and busy box are installed and working ?
[HTC Sensation] marcjw:
Interesting. adb wouldn't recognize my Sensation until after I made the udev changes.
[HTC Sensation] Chris19145:
worked perfectly, thanks!
[HTC Sensation] Utking:
Hmm, no matter what i do i can't get it to work. I've tried everything, even uninstalling titanium, superuser, gone trough the whole process 8 or 9 times, and now im giving up :p

Edit: i am running the latest leaked rom, could it be because of this?
[HTC Sensation] t0ny0:
I dont have the "99-android.rules" file in my udev. Running ubuntu 11.04. I created the file, and added the sensation to it - still nothing. When I type "adb devices" all I get is "????????????? no permissions" ...
[HTC Sensation] marcjw:
2 things -

I'm running 10.04 so there might be some syntax or location differences between our versions. Not sure.

Also, make sure you disconnect and reconnect your Sensation *after* making your udev changes.
[HTC Sensation] t0ny0:
Ahhhh.. I had to reconnect it, yes... Im dumb.

Thank you very much !!!

[HTC Sensation] RADLOUNI:
Very strange guys.......

Before, my file explorer could only see four directories at the highest level. Now I can see everything including sys and system and their sub directories and other files like goldfish and others, even after reboot, It's like I have a root explorer....
[HTC Sensation] xnpu:
That's expected really. tmp-root is really root as far as the OS is concerned. The only shortcoming is a lack of write access to certain parts of the filesystem.
[HTC Sensation] will75:
just an fyi,,, i ran the exploit once, and received no comments back except it going back to c:. prompt.... i ran it again and it said it failed... but adb shell shows # so it actually worked the first time, even though it didnt say it.. just letting people know :)
[HTC Sensation] madindehead:
So, am I right in thinking, with this being temp root, the phone will be rooted for rooted apps to run on every reboot?

And it's definitely working for the Sensation too yeah?
[HTC Sensation] xnpu:
You have to re-root it after every reboot. Root apps will work in principle, but some files cannot be changed (so not all apps will work). Some changes made by root are permanent, others are not, depending on where the settings/files are stored.
[HTC Sensation] madindehead:
Ace. Right yeah, just re-read that first post. Silly me.

Will give some apps a test and see what works and doesn't. Would be good if someone could update a post with what is working and what isn't root wise.
[HTC Sensation] doublecheese:
On my first try it worked like a CHARM :))

make sure you put the binary file here :
