OK, firstly, I confess that I did not read all 11 pages of this thread, so if this is already mentioned, please forgive me.

I find that your method of installing busybox does not work when I use `adb shell`, because you install busybox to /system/xbin which comes later in PATH than /system/bin, and the stupid coreutils are in /system/bin. It does not replace the stupid coreutils already on the device, so they get used instead. By inserting the following two lines at the end of the "Installing su and busybox" section (line 62), I get much better results. `adb shell` starts the busybox shell, and if I run ls, I see columns and colors! Before I added these lines, such was not the case.

adb shell cp /system/bin/busybox /system/bin/toolbox # replace the stupid coreutils with busybox
adb shell ln -sf toolbox /system/bin/sh # replace the stupid shell with busybox

You could also delete the stupid coreutils, but I felt this was cleaner.

I'm talking about the Linux script, I have not looked at the windows batch. The changes should be essentially the same, though.
[HTC EVO 3D] raymond4:
Will this unlock the boot loader as well.
[HTC EVO 3D] Tiffany84:
Yep sure will............... Ok, jk. No it won't.
[HTC EVO 3D] Arnezie:
You know my Grandpa always said there are no stupid questions if someone asked it. He was wrong.
[HTC EVO 3D] J.eremy:
I'm not sure why some of you guys are having issues. If you could when your saying that it doesn't work tell me which version you are having issues with. linux script or the windows script.

For the people having the issue with the exploit itself, i have only seen that error if you were trying to run the exploit after already running the exploit without rebooting first.

MAKE SURE TO REBOOT TO START FRESH

every reboot the system goes back to ship, nomatter what was changed.

and make sure you dont have superuser installed from the market or elsewhere on your phone prior to running this script

For windows you don't have to move anything anywhere, i have included adb in the zip and as long as you have the drivers for the 3vo installed it should just go

you don't need to run this as administrator, just a normal user

for the people having permission denied problems in linux you have to make the script executable

chmod +x root

If it makes any difference which i dont think it does i have fastboot off on my phone in settings, but again i dont think that makes any difference.

I'm sorry for posting it I clicked on the wrong thread I meant to go to the other one Im sorry.
[HTC EVO 3D] Tiffany84:
Hey Jeremy, thanks for the work u have done. I'm about to try this on a Windows pc. Do u know if I need to disable htc sync first? Thanks again.
[HTC EVO 3D] J.eremy:
Thats a good question, I don't think so it shouldn't effect any adb work as long as the correct drivers are installed.

I don't have htc sync installed on any of my computers :)
[HTC EVO 3D] dxtyle:
tried, but is a no-go for me :(
[HTC EVO 3D] CrippleB:
With the team win instructions HTC sync cause probs with the exploit, so you should disable sync.

Edit: @ Tiff

Yeah it could have been an isolated problem but I think because they mentioned it there was something weird about it. Might just be 1 out of 10 had a weird issue with sync and it was better to just say disable.
[HTC EVO 3D] Tiffany84:
K. I seen that too after i had already temp rooted for the first time and it didn't cause any problems that I know of. Thanks Cripple.
[HTC EVO 3D] jtreez30:
Now, is this after you root? Or can you use this to root for the very first time?
[HTC EVO 3D] k2buckley:
Use it to root the first time. Also every time after you reboot.
[HTC EVO 3D] Ddubbs:
so i followed all steps for the installation of the drivers and when i check in cmd it finds my device but when i go through fre3vo and type the number 1 and click enter it doesnt pick up my phone.

also i am using windows and have made sure that sync is not running
[HTC EVO 3D] bsims85:
WOW!!! Worked the first time and every time after that. This allowed me to use the MSL reader app....
[HTC EVO 3D] Bandage:
Had same issue...make sure your are NOT running it as Administrator. Run it normally, and all is good.

Also...no issues to report here, other than everything goes back to normal after reboot. Will be glad to keep the junk uninstalled permanently!

Keep up the great work all!
[HTC EVO 3D] Ddubbs:
how do i make sure im not running as administrator?
[HTC EVO 3D] mikeyxda:
First, thanks for this script! Couple questions. The instructions don't really tell you what steps are needed under Windows. You're presented with a menu with 8 items. Which one(s) are you supposed to run? I've verified that 1 sees my phone. OK so far. So am I supposed to do just 2? 2 and 3? 2, 3, and then 4? I've tried all those but after doing that after a fresh boot, every root program I try to run says I still don't have root permissions. I've read the thread and have debugging on and it says the exploit is done... but it's like the root is not there.

Also, I read that when the phone reboots "everything goes back to ship". Does that mean if I use a root backup program to remove bloatware (apps), they'll come back too? I don't see how... if you uninstall them.

Mike
[HTC EVO 3D] Bandage:
I did steps 2 & 3...then used Titanium to remove the apps I wanted to...don't reboot during the process, remove them while phone is still booted up. Yes, you will lose any changes you made when you reboot...those apps will be re installed at boot.
[HTC EVO 3D] JT man:
its the usb cord

I was having the same problem until I change my usb cord
[HTC EVO 3D] Ddubbs:
well i tried changing the usb cord and i am on my guest account on my computer and its a standard use not administrator and still not finding my device in the fre3vo but finds my device in the computers command

What about trying to redownload few3vo again sorry I'm all out of idea
[HTC EVO 3D] r0cky0790:
Why is it that sometimes I lose access to to superuser due to force closing. It will work for a while but for the past two hours I had to restart my phone and rerun the exploit 3 times. Can anyone shed any light on this.

My ''xDU4L C0R3 SH00T3Rx'' shot you down in 3D!
[HTC EVO 3D] danweb66:
are you running more than one root app at a time?
[HTC EVO 3D] J.eremy:
If you installed superuser from the market, you will get errors and force closes.

Reboot the phone and before you run the script make sure superuser is

NOT

in your manage apps list anywhere.
[HTC EVO 3D] r0cky0790:
I don't have superuser installed untill I reboot and run the exploit zip you provided. (Thanks by the way)

However, I did have more than one root at running at once. Currently I'm running wireless tether and I believe I have memory optimizer in the background. Would running more than one app that requires root give me problems? @ J.eremy

[HTC EVO 3D] danweb66:
I was also having the same problem, and when I started limiting it to only one root app running at a time I stopped having as much problems.

Instead of removing/deleting the apps, freeze them with TBPro and the changes will stick upon reboot.
[HTC EVO 3D] rockypr:
Thanks for making it that easy!!!
[HTC EVO 3D] mikeyxda:
Reinstalled? Where is it getting them from if we uninstall them? Can't we zap whatever it is that is reinstalling them, or is that part of the ROM?

Mike
[HTC EVO 3D] kaw900r:
Yes it does

Nice was missing root... t/u loof forward to full root. Loving the new phone great battery life.:cool:
[HTC EVO 3D] unCoRrUpTeD:
Not sure exactly how it works, but an easy way to look at. Think of all the files being symlinked, meaning its just s shortcut to the actual file. You're deleting the symlink but not the actual file. So when you reboot the symlink is replaced again.
[HTC EVO 3D] Tiffany84:
So is it ok to run this script if I have already ran Haus's script and It's added su and busybox? I know on a reboot I loose root but those files should still be there. Just wanting to make sure it won't cause problems.
[HTC EVO 3D] J.eremy:
His script wont effect mine as long as you reboot the phone before running it.
[HTC EVO 3D] Tiffany84:
Awesome. Thanks for the quick reply.
[HTC EVO 3D] TimidRat:

[HTC EVO 3D] Maximumevo:
Same here guys. B E A utiful! this is great. Had a few issues but it works awsome. It hasn't brought up my apps on Titanium backup. Im giving it time. I don't know what root apps to down load. Im very happy. Thanks guys.:)
[HTC EVO 3D] arozer:
Everything else recognizes that I hate rooted, besides for Titanium Backup.

It even asked me if SuperUser would allow root privileges.. but for some reason it keeps saying "Error - Sorry I could not aquire root priv."

Any ideas anyone?

Terminater Emulator works fine.

MSL reader works fine.

Roam Control works fine.
[HTC EVO 3D] lilecho:
Works great, thanks :)
[HTC EVO 3D] CrippleB:
+1 If it fails to gain root, I just restart and it works. I do notice that my root will disappear at different times, even without restart. But once I restart, root goes through smooth.

Also your paypal is receiving again, hopefully you didn't miss to many. Thanks again.
[HTC EVO 3D] J.eremy:
glad its working for you guys!

for linux in root:

echo "---------------------------------------------------------";
echo "Installing user and group";
adb shell "echo root::0:0:root:/data/local:/system/bin/sh > /system/etc/passwd";
adb shell "echo root::0: > /system/etc/group";

Should be :

adb shell echo "root::0:0:root:/data/local:/system/bin/sh" > /system/etc/passwd;
adb shell echo "root::0:" > /system/etc/group;
[HTC EVO 3D] J.eremy:
Should be yes but when its done that way it doesn't create the file and in turn doesn't set the permissions.

Give it a try with a fresh reboot....

The quotes being where they are actually works.

;-)

[HTC EVO 3D] smw6180:
The quotes are in the right spot. Remember, you're sending the entire command through adb. Because of that, it's necessary to quote the entire line.
[HTC EVO 3D] Product F(RED):
Great job! SetCPU works, but not ShootMe or Titanium Backup. Good enough for me, just wanna remove some of the included apps.
[HTC EVO 3D] mihait:
@J.eremy , @smw6180:

Sorry for jumping too quick on this one, yes you're right, the quotes are in the right place, but I've end up with blank /system/etc/(passwd|group) on each run.

Probably there's something wrong on my end since both "echo"s are doing their job when ran for the terminal.
[HTC EVO 3D] calebu2:
For some reason I only get root with 50% success,even if I reboot. Would disabling fastboot help?

When it works I get the error messages about and being old. When it fails, it breezes through with minimal effort and quietly fails.
[HTC EVO 3D] housry23:
Worked for me...Had to do a reboot, then I kept getting su force close, so I uninstalled su, went back into the windows bat file, reinstalled su, opened TB and su permissions given. All my apps are backed up and waiting for a custom Rom. Thanks J.eremy. Much appreciated bro. Donation is headed your way for making this easy for us.

Edit: as soon as I install SetCPU, I start getting force closes from su and setcpu. No real need for it right now, so I'm just happy to use Titanium Backup for now.
[HTC EVO 3D] dxtyle:
how do u uninstall superuser after the scripts installs it? it doesnt let me do it
[HTC EVO 3D] housry23:
I had already had it installed before I used the script because I tried to use it when I installed Fre3vo using adb when they first released it. So it was already installed through the market but not working. That's my only guess
[HTC EVO 3D] Product F(RED):
You're right. When I installed the Market version, it didn't work. Removed it, ran J.eremy's script and it worked perfect. What's funny is I left the phone charging overnight and I haven't gotten any FC's. SetCPU works perfectly fine, Perflock disabler and all. Titanium Backup doesn't FC, just says it can't find root (doesn't even prompt Allow/Deny). ShootMe is the same, even after I allow it root permissions.
[HTC EVO 3D] unCoRrUpTeD:
menu>settings>applications>manage applications
[HTC EVO 3D] leftheodo:
The first time i tried the script, it worked flawlessly. After the first reboot i can't get root permissions. I run the script (steps 2 and 3) but i can't get # in terminal emul and su FCs. Any ideas?
[HTC EVO 3D] killa2009:
so does titanium backup work or not, Why are there people in the thread saying its working?

Also superuser force closes everytime i try to open it. also i cant delete it!
[HTC EVO 3D] killa2009:
helloooooooooo can someone respond
[HTC EVO 3D] dxtyle:
i know that and tried it but if i install su with the script it becomes a system app which i cant delete from there
[HTC EVO 3D] r0cky0790:
Reboot your phone.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1151735

That link above is a thread to a more reliable temp root. It works just like the one posted in this thread. Just install superuser from the market before running the script

By the way it states that you won't lose root access until reboot but root doesn't stick on my phone. I've only ran it once though so I don't know. The good thing about it though titanium backup does stick until reboot. All you have to do is click the problem button to download that file.

Also set CPU works as well but would lose root access after a while. (Download the latest one.) Changes remain until reboot though. So find a setting and profile you could work with until you reboot.

Doesn't work here either.

Ran the script, 2 and 3, no errors, got the "success" message. Trying "adb shell" then got me the #.

But su and all rooted apps don't work. (Superuser force closes.) Retried many times. This temproot appears to be a poor hack at this stage.

It should show you a number right to the bottom right of the compass and it will tell you how many satelites it detects and how many you are connected to. It will look like 5/6 (five being how many are connected, 6 being how many are present). It might take a minute before that appears.

[EVO Shift 4G General] FdxRider:
First, before you can root you need to find out if it's possible right now for you. Go to settings>about phone>software information> if it says 2.3.3 under android version you cannot root right now because with Ginger Bread update root is not possible until the devs find a new exploit.

+1 first check if you can root. If you can, make sure you read, read, read, and read. Before you do anything. As far as Roms, well that's all up to preference. Do you want Sense? Do you want Miui? Might want to try a few and see what you like. Once you get comfortable flashing.
