sorry about that was a stupid error on my part, its now fixed v2.4

wow i must have been exhausted
[HTC EVO 3D] reekotubbs:
@J.ermey

I read the OP and could find no mention of it, but does this script uninstall anything or does it keep the device stock.

Also, does this install the RUU or does it just modify certain parts of our directory to achieve root?

Since this is only temp root does everything that was modified while rooted revert back when you loose root?

titanium backup not acquiring root

All other root apps that I have tried are working, msl reader, root explorer, but titanium backup always fails to acquire root. Any advise would be great. I've had it working before with earlier versions of this script as well as other scripts. I've uninstalled reinstalled Idk what the issue could be. Is anyone else having an issue with TB?
[HTC EVO 3D] J.eremy:
this script doesnt delete anything at all. It will go back to stock on reboot with the exception of superuser, but option 2 will uninstall it and delete the files in /local/tmp/
[HTC EVO 3D] J.eremy:
Seems as if you are doing at least 2 things wrong while trying to use my script.

Quote from the OP....

[HTC EVO 3D] kevinbear:
Same experience here. Though I used to get Titanium Backup to acquire root, just not lately.
[HTC EVO 3D] dannytill:
I used to get TB to acquire root too. I restored all my apps before but now I can't get root anymore. I've tried Barnacle and that works too.
[HTC EVO 3D] OrionNE:
No Titanium Backup

+1

I cannot get TB work aquire root either.

I even went so far as to follow all the verification steps on the TB wiki and emailed support. The reply was that it is a problem with the Superuser. Try clearing all data and try again. I actually suspect it has to do with the placement of Busybox and SQLite. I think the symbolic links are not working for TB. however I am not able to test the theory at this time.

[HTC EVO 3D] OrionNE:
Has anyone tried a Hard Reset and then trying the Temp Root again see if Titanium Backup worked then?
[HTC EVO 3D] sandiegopaneraiguy:
Titanium Backup has been working perfectly for me to both backup and restore. I did hard reset once, re-rooted and TB was still working perfectly when finished.

I reboot so infrequently that temp-root works just fine for me. Thanks for all the guys who helped write the scripts to hold us over until a real root is developed!
[HTC EVO 3D] OrionNE:
hmm

I bet your using a Sensation too correct? And everyone with the problem is using a 3VO. Just a wild guess but me thinks something could be different.
[HTC EVO 3D] willy900wonka:
Work around to get ALL my rooted apps working.

I've had problems getting root explorer to work - rooted- with 2.4.

So I run ./root while in 2.4's folder, ie run the 2.4 script.

It works as advertised.

I then cd ( change directory ) to version 2.1 ( really 2.2 ) and run ./root of that release.

Well it fails to acquire root, ( already had root ! ) then it does it's stuff with busy box and su.

After words Root-explorer acquires root and actually works, as does Titanium, and BetterTermEmulator...

Just thought I'd pass it on. I don't feel like sorting out why it does, but it does for me, and keeps root as long as booted.
[HTC EVO 3D] igotroot:
This is my second day straight, and its 100 percent!!!!!! Flawless.

however I noticed that when you restore from titanium backup don't restore mms sms bookmarks and sms contacts dialer if you came from an AOSP ROM. Screwed my messaging app up. after 3 attempts I realized that but now everything is perfect after doing factory restore in HTC Recovery.

Barnacles tether works flawlessly. The commonly used wireless Tether app won't work.

My Backup Root works too, but because I'm coming from a different phone model it forced me to buy my backup pro which will transfer text messages and photo messages to a new phone model.

NEXT STOP, S OFF!!!

Thanks to the OP and Agrabren, team win, and the rest of the Android Community... Like DJ Khaled says, WE THE BEST!!!!!

HTC just retained a customer......if it wasn't for you guys I would've been heading back to Target for an exchange or refund!! HTC wake up!!
[HTC EVO 3D] OrionNE:

can yu zip up and share your 2.2 folder.
[HTC EVO 3D] dannytill:
For all those having an issue with wireless tether not working it works fine. I have used this method and can confirm it works. Barnacle works fine too but no master mode only ad-hoc.

Titanium backup as well as all my other root confirmed as working. All except for autokiller which causes a restart but that's nothing new, been happening with every temp root method.

Help

Guys all these threads on temp root are awesome but the thing is i tryed all of them but i still cant remove system apps of titanium its bothering me, can someone tell me how to do this is a simple way please ?
[HTC EVO 3D] dannytill:
Quite a few scripts disable bloatware along with the temp root and there are several thread that discuss disabling apps in the dev section which is only 2 pages long so they are not hard to find.
[HTC EVO 3D] Armenian6000:
Thanks for the anwser its just that I don't won't only to disable it I want to perminantly remove apps such as spiderman, what the hell was sprint thinking making it a system apk and that's not the worst part its only a demo....
[HTC EVO 3D] dannytill:
We only have temp root at the moment so even if you remove it on reboot it will return. What you are suggesting can only be accomplished once we have full root/s-off.

Titanium backup doesn't work whit this script, but other apps that ask for root works.

"Sorry, I could not acquire root privileges."
[HTC EVO 3D] PandaKiller:
My problem is exactly as your!!!

But after some time, the root stops work and root explorer force close...

With this scrip root always work but Titanium backup don't work...
[HTC EVO 3D] J.eremy:
Im gonna have to do more testing on that, i think the problem is i use the paid version of titanium backup and it comes with a whole different set of tools.

I know the paid version works mint but ill have to look into the free version...

how is the O/S detection and adb binaries working?
[HTC EVO 3D] helljumperx:
Just update your computer to windows 7 n00b
[HTC EVO 3D] igotroot:
What ever version was out on 7-6-2011 has worked flawlessly for me. Titanium Backup, Barnacles tether, etc. The only apk that won't work is Shoot Me.

I've had this on day in and out....no loss of root. Well, except for one day when i let phone battery die. But i had it on for 3 days straight before that.

Was this new version made after 7/6/11 ?
[HTC EVO 3D] kevinbear:
I have the paid version as well (I have the license key on my SD card, not the market key), but have been unable to use Titanium Backup with your script (which otherwise I love, thanks!). Would love to help troubleshoot this, but don't really know what kind of info or logs or whatever you might need. Let me know if there's anything I can check or pastebin for you.
[HTC EVO 3D] kevinbear:
Finally gave up and manually tried applying Eugene's script (by looking at the batch file) and it seems to be working. Part of me is wondering if the newer superuser apk and binary are causing some of these issues (Eugene's uses the older, classic versions).
[HTC EVO 3D] kevinbear:
Manually replaced with newer versions and all is still good so far. *shrugs*
[HTC EVO 3D] marc.ientilucci:
after a reboot, i removed the path and then started from scratch. SU installed this time :D

EDIT:

hmm, Titanium does not recognize root tho.
[HTC EVO 3D] Overstew:
Do you know how to fix it? lolol

I can try another directory/path, maybe that'll help?
[HTC EVO 3D] Stericson:
Ah! root.bat needs to be in platform-tools :)
[HTC EVO 3D] Overstew:
Ok. I'll try again.

EDIT: Okay, it all went through successfully, but TI backup still doesn't like my phone (still requiring root). I do have superuser.apk installed and the 3 AND 4 option worked in the script (or so it displayed it did.)

http://i642.photobucket.com/albums/uu150/Deflectant/Temprootsuccess.png
[HTC EVO 3D] Stericson:
So it looks like installing Superuser and SU might have to be done twice in some cases...superuser was crashing for me, so I reinstalled SU and Superuser and it was fixed...
[HTC EVO 3D] marc.ientilucci:
from the .bat or superuser from market?
[HTC EVO 3D] Stericson:
from the bat :)
[HTC EVO 3D] Overstew:
Reran step 4, no dice. I will hold out until perm root comes. Thanks for the help though. :)
[HTC EVO 3D] marc.ientilucci:
lol here we go again.

re-boot, re-"bat"
[HTC EVO 3D] k2buckley:
I don't believe step 4 is necessarily needed. When I ran step 3, the first thing it said was 'mounting system r/w', or something to that nature. Then it installed what it needed and completed. That was all I did. Step 4 would be redundant I think, since step 3 already mounted you r/w...or at least it did for me :). I never ran step 4, just stopped at 3.
[HTC EVO 3D] Overstew:
When I ran step 3, it didn't install Superuser app. Maybe I should try only that then.

What can I say? I'm persistent. :p
[HTC EVO 3D] k2buckley:
Just to be clear, I didn't mean I only did step 3. I did 1-3, then stopped.
[HTC EVO 3D] Overstew:
Ok got ya. Almost finished rebooting.
[HTC EVO 3D] marc.ientilucci:
using the .bat?
[HTC EVO 3D] Stericson:
ok...hold on guys...there is a problem here...the system is not being remounted as RW...looking into it...know jeremy is as well.
[HTC EVO 3D] k2buckley:
No, I used the original one posted by J.eremy, for Linux. I'm on Ubuntu. I thought that the steps were the same though...I apologize if I was wrong.
[HTC EVO 3D] Overstew:
Ok, I thought I was going crazy.

Shouldn't it work then if I press 5, then 3?
[HTC EVO 3D] marc.ientilucci:
just wanted to make sure. seems like they found an issue. appreciate ur replies tho
[HTC EVO 3D] Stericson:
no, the problem is with the permissions being set on busybox. should be 4755 instead of 777
[HTC EVO 3D] marc.ientilucci:
but its installing? can we just change permission?
[HTC EVO 3D] Overstew:
Ok, I've manually edited that. I'll report back.
[HTC EVO 3D] Stericson:
lol...not sure that's it after all...lol :)
[HTC EVO 3D] Overstew:
Doesn't recognize adb when I change the permission to 4755. Retried it @ 777 and it says complete, but doesn't properly install su/superuser.apk.
[HTC EVO 3D] Stericson:
well...looks like maybe somethings wrong with the su binary...getting some errors when trying to use it....777 should be fine with the permissions on the busybox....I'll have to look at this some other time...its super late :\
[HTC EVO 3D] Overstew:
It's all good. I'll see if I can find the issue. I'll copy/paste straight from the OP and CMD-ize it. :p
[HTC EVO 3D] marc.ientilucci:

[HTC EVO 3D] Tiffany84:
Thanks for trying to help us Windows users.
[HTC EVO 3D] Overstew:
Awesome! Could you enlighten me with what the problem was? For future reference. :)
[HTC EVO 3D] Stericson:
Yea, the problem was that Jeremy was symlinking the SU binary to /system/xbin. Removing the symlink corrected the problem. I would assume this problem is also apparent in his original script.
[HTC EVO 3D] k2buckley:
What would the symptoms be? I used the original script and haven't had any problems thus far. Anything specific to check for? Or if it seems good then it is, and leave it be?
[HTC EVO 3D] Stericson:
Symptons would be applications not able to find su, or request su access.
[HTC EVO 3D] Overstew:
Windows version still not working for me. I'll try again tomorrow - too tired lol 5AM here.
[HTC EVO 3D] marc.ientilucci:
i have root, ran msl reader no issues... still titanium says no root :(
[HTC EVO 3D] Overstew:
You're right, root now works, but not with Titanium Backup. That's fine though, I prefer Mybackup root anyways. :D

Thanks stericson.
[HTC EVO 3D] jlevy73:
You need to have bash set up correctly.

Do the following: From terminal enter

touch .bash_profile

To open this file you just made, type this line. A text file should open up.

open -e .bash_profile

In the file, type in this line:

export PATH=/usr/local/bin:${PATH}:$HOME/android-sdk/tools:$HOME/android-sdk/platform-tools

So what did you just do? You just put the android sdk tools in you path. Now you can run android commands anywhere in the terminal without having to "cd /android-sdk/tools/".

To refresh the .bash_profile into the shell, type this:

source .bash_profile

Worked and it was easy. I am getting a error on wifi tethering the log shows wifi.interface failed. Any one else.getting.tethering to work? If so.what app are you using

Edit : tether still not working but I did run root checker and root and busy box are good.
[HTC EVO 3D] smw6180:
Yes and mac uses FreeBSD as its base. If you put the path to your adb executable in your PATH, or put your adb executable in /bin maybe then the script will work fine. You only need ./ if a file isn't in your path.

And for the record if you put '.' in your path you don't even need ./
[HTC EVO 3D] danweb66:
works, I have the ota also. it took me a restart to get it to take, but it did work. my only problem is i would lose root capabilities after a while. very cool to play with though.

EDIT: so after playing around with the version of a slightly better root, and haus's, i have found that i cannot keep root going on my phone, i dont know if it is due to me having the ota or what but it seems like others are having this problem too. if i am missing somthing or someone has somthing to try i will.
[HTC EVO 3D] jaybizza:
Same here..You shouldn't have to run step 4 or 5..After step 3 go straight to 7..Worked for me!!
[HTC EVO 3D] jaybizza:
After sometime I've noticed you will lose root..But thats to be expected as the O.P states..I found a "restart" and rerun of "root.bat" will re-acquire "root".. Hope it helps guys!!!

to make a long story short i been up since 7:30am an nw its 10:52am and i just got the 1.1 script to work.. it took me at least 15 reboot on my e3d an tried over 20x an restarted my computer 15x also. but at least i experienced root for 20 min lol. i ran Titanium Back up, i ran shoot me an as soon as i tried wifi tethering version 10 or pre 10, i lost root. an than when i rebooted both my computer an phone an tried to reroot it says everything is sucessful , but it didnt work..

Busy box is install perfectly but no root privildges .so i guess its kinda unstable at the moment after a while u do loose root.

Just wondering why so many peeps are bothering with "temp root", when its only a day or 2 away from perma-root?
[HTC EVO 3D] CrippleB:
Can remove some stuff and also to keep progress moving forward. Yes team win will probably have perm root soon but it doesn't hurt to see what you can gain with temp root. I am happy to get my angry birds data from my 4g. No starting over for me. Also I can back up my apps and data on my new 3d and be ready for when the bomb drops and not have to start from scratch once I reformat and flash custom roms.
[HTC EVO 3D] wase4711:
yeah, good point; although I have made a backup already in MyBackup Pro..

Plus; since any custom roms that come out right away, will most likely have all the bloatware already removed from them, and, the fact there is a TON of room for apps on this phone, and nothing seems to slow it down, I guess I am in no big hurry to delete the few bloatware apps that you can;t remove without Root..
[HTC EVO 3D] CrippleB:
Yeah but before you had root you could not back data only apk's. Make sure you look at that because I'm pretty sure you did not back data if you had no root. Now I have all the Angry bird levels and the countless hours I spent getting there. Thanks to team win for the root method and thanks to J.eremy for the script that fixed my root.
[HTC EVO 3D] wase4711:
true, I can't backup data until there is full root..

Its no biggie for me, since I dont play games on my phone, and, I back up my sd card regularly to my computer...
