Am I doing something wrong? I *never* am able to get rw on /system, even temporarily. Am I misunderstanding that other people can achieve this?

Fixit command

Hi all,

i never understood the purpose of the fixit command that gets loaded onto the phone after we run the batch script for temp root....as far as i understand it is for the recovery of root once lost? but when root is lost we cannot run the command since we get a permission denied error...how can we recover root from the phone itself once lost? or is it not possible..u still need a pc ? ..thanks
[HTC EVO 3D] shad0w77:
working great so far, haven't lost root before a reboot yet!

one thing though... my hosts file keeps getting reverted back to the stock one... maybe once every day or two. I have seen a few people in here with this problem but never saw if ne1 provided an explanation. Hope I am not repeating what was just explained.

thanks guys.
[HTC EVO 3D] LiquidSolstice:
Because teh system partition gets reset on reboot. You may be able to keep root, but AdFree's custom host file well get reset.
[HTC EVO 3D] shad0w77:
no, no sorry. should have been clearer. I lose the hosts file not during a reboot... just during normal use. It stays rooted, but even when I try to re-download the hosts file via AdFree and do a FastReboot, the ads remain...
[HTC EVO 3D] LiquidSolstice:
Ahhh. I actually think that was also part of the temp root's disclaimer. System changes might also be reset randomly during normal uptime as well (it's written somewhere on this forum, i'm sure I read it somewhere) but pretty much always reset no matter what at reboot. The only true command that seems to survive the gauntlet of reboot is the "disable" command which people here are using to "de-bloat".
[HTC EVO 3D] CheesyNutz:
not sure what happened but lost root lastnight NO Idea why tried the fixit like the op says was giving

permissions denied

rebooted rerooted and back to business
[HTC EVO 3D] Amd4life:
I'm having the same host issue also, it resets even without rebooting. The root hack remains as do all my super user permissions

But the host file resets back to default

Odd
[HTC EVO 3D] johncjenc:
Same for me also, it seems pretty random, by that I mean not tied to any app or loss of root or su access. Just drops off and reverts. I tried using adb to manually push the host file to system/etc but it didn't stick either. The other option is Adblocker, but that has its own drawbacks.
[HTC EVO 3D] ERHSAII:
I'm on day 7 since I used the final exploit and everything is still perfect. Eugene, thanks for your hard and great work on the Evo3D! :)
[HTC EVO 3D] noahguz:
Is s-off a reality?
[HTC EVO 3D] LiquidSolstice:

[HTC EVO 3D] vWvSTATICvWv:
Ok...What is going on here?!? I lose root within a matter of seconds. Mind you, I'm on my 6th E3D and came preloaded with HBoot 1.40. Sprint employee did not touch the phone, I had it in my hand the whole time and didn't accept any updates.

I've used this method & wisefire's on my previous phones with no problems...ALWAYS held root. It goes through the motions and all seems to go fine but within seconds I lose write to the system. Happens with Bloat Freezer, Root explorer and then SetCPU. I've tried terminal SU + Fixit and it says denied. :confused:
[HTC EVO 3D] jhuff83:
Just had another f'n random reboot. Anyone else having these issues?
[HTC EVO 3D] INebilim:
No sir everything good here. I have even lost root yet.
[HTC EVO 3D] mozman:
I have had root since eugene's last update. 3VO crashed and I did battery pull. Once rebooted I tried to get permanent root up again from the terminal emulator. I tried 'su', 'fixit' and 'su fixit' but keep getting permission denied. I see others having similar problems. Any idea why or am I doing something wrong. Please advise. Thanks!!!
[HTC EVO 3D] ewingt22:
i am. not rooted yet but im about to get bored enough to try it.
[HTC EVO 3D] kboogi:
I am having a strange issue. When trying to install, somehow EVERYTHING got erased on my sd card. :(

It has been a struggle all day, I found this a program called PC Inspector File Recovery (freeware), that help with all of my stuff being "lost"- but still wasn't a full restore. Good thing I back up everything every two weeks on my desktop, now I may do that every week. I have a class 10 16gb, it was at 6gb capacity remaining.

As far at the the permission denied in the emulator, I just re-installed the files- so far so good, God how I miss rOOt.... :D
[HTC EVO 3D] hockeyfamily737:
Reboot=reroot

fixit=loss of root while the phone is on.
[HTC EVO 3D] reverepats:
Yeah lastnight I rebooted to mess with the OC bat a bit, and my phone didn't even fully reboot....it just shut off about half way....first for everything I guess....re did the root and rebooted about 5 mins after that.....may have been caused my the OC too....but the setting aren't far off from the default setting in the bat either. YeH and Tue r/w do.t work for me either.....
[HTC EVO 3D] TimidRat:
Thank-you for clarifying, i think a lot of people had problems with this, just re-root the phone ppl!
[HTC EVO 3D] TimidRat:
You mean true R/W, cause noone has that so far besides the alpharev team.. May be why...
[HTC EVO 3D] danaff37:
You're going to have issues unless you do a full reboot with the long wait at the sprint screen. Battery pull if need be to be sure
[HTC EVO 3D] kinextions:
from what i'm reading.......is it worth it to root yet? Should I wait till the full root comes out? My phone is fine as it is now but i'd love the wifi part.
[HTC EVO 3D] reverepats:
Ohh yeah i did a full reboot....well I tried anyway.....but its like the reboot was inturupted or.something......oh well....I ain't gonna *****es about it LOL.....and like I.said it.may be due to.the OC settings that I mess wit.....just re-ran it....so biggy.....
[HTC EVO 3D] reverepats:
it seem as if ADB isnt in the PATH, but i could be mistaken....but you said that u used this script before correct?....have u changed anything on yur PC at all?....
[HTC EVO 3D] koshinobi:
i didnt change anything at all....it seems to be working fine until it gets to the part where it installs su and say it already exists..if i uninstall su from the phone do u think tha might work or make things worse?
[HTC EVO 3D] reverepats:
well before u re-run the script u should delete SU...even tho it shows up EXISTS when u run it, it should still work i believe..even TE also.....give it a shot....it wont hurt.....but i swear when i was first trying to run the script's for the first time, i remember getting that error because ADB wasnt in the PATH.....but yeah delete SU....
[HTC EVO 3D] danaff37:
You don't need adb in your path for windows. Somehow, the adb that was included with this package is not in the same folder as his .bat file. I suggest you redownload from the OP and start with a fresh, full folder.

You are extracting everything out into a folder right? You need to have all those files in the same folder, and don't run the .bat from cmd just double click it in the folder (not a zip folder!)
[HTC EVO 3D] koshinobi:
i deleted su and downloaded the files again and ran it...its still giving me the "installed failed already exists" message and the same for androidterm.apk...correct me if im wrong but i believe its trying to push those files to data/local/tmp in the phone where it was previously written on my first succesful attempt and with out root theres no way i can access those folders to manually delete them..unless u guys know how...i can post the command prompt to show u exactly what im talking about if my description of the problem didnt make sense lol
[HTC EVO 3D] :
Ok, so I am rooted!! Thank you guys! Well at least temp root right?

1st Question: If I fast reboot my 3VO, will I loose root?

2nd Question: I don't understand the open terminal then type SU the type fixit thing. What/where is the terminal? Sorry if this is a dumb question, it's just that I have never used it before. I have been rooting since the HTC Touch Pro and never used it...

TIA!
[HTC EVO 3D] LiquidSolstice:
1. Sometimes.

2. It's an app. Find it in the Android Market.

3. No, you've never "rooted" a Touch Pro. At the risk of sounding pedantic, you don't root WinMo phones.
[HTC EVO 3D] vboyz103:
just FYI, I just lost root today. Unlocked the screen saw a FC on SetCPU. Went to terminal on phone and typed su but didn't cure it...had to reload the hack from PC. :(

I've been on it for like 5 days now.
[HTC EVO 3D] reverepats:
Well once u delete them don't DONt DL them again.....let the script install SU......u must have posted this late cause I waited for yur reply lastnight.....unfortunately I'm at work now....I'm sure Someone will help be for I get back.....
[HTC EVO 3D] reverepats:
Yeah wheen ya lose root setC will do that...that's normal.....but TE won't let a lot of us run"fixit".....hasn't work for me yet....
[HTC EVO 3D] danaff37:
Install failed is no big deal, get that every time because it is there already. As long as you don't get the message of not finding adb, it should root.
[HTC EVO 3D] carter53022@gmail.com:
Fyi. I'm having the exact same issue with radio shortage. Cannot text or call to save my life. My phone is NOT rooted and yes I updated my prl.

[HTC EVO 3D] ycats:
I get adb server out of date.
[HTC EVO 3D] molitar:
I fixed my adb server out of date by copying the new adb.exe into the htcsync folder. But is busybox installed with this temp root? because when I tried to SU I had no permissions. I had to manually uninstall SU and Terminal and reinstall temp root to get it to work again.
[HTC EVO 3D] clavin78:
Deleting bloat

How are apps restoring after boot and from where? Cant we use root explorer to delete whatever files do this? Sorry if thats a dumb question
[HTC EVO 3D] -viperboy-:
Check out viperMOD Bloat Manager in my sig.
[HTC EVO 3D] clavin78:
Is this something tjat has to be done each time a reboot is done?
[HTC EVO 3D] -viperboy-:
If you would read the first post of my thread, that answer will become obvious.
[HTC EVO 3D] molitar:
Help the root will not last! I rooted last night.. had it plugged in charging.. got up today and the root is gone! No matter what I do the root does not last.

For a test after I re-root the phone I try running fixit and get nothing but errors.

rm: can't remove '/system/bin/su' : No such file or directory

rm: can't remove '/system/xbin/su' : No such file or directory

cp: can't stat '/data/bin/su' : Path has non-directory component

cp: can't stat '/data/bin/su' ' : Path has non-directory component

unable to CHMOD /sbin/su: No such file or directory

unable to CHMOD /system/xbin/su: No such file or directory

unable to CHMOD /sbin/su: No such file or directory

unable to CHMOD /system/xbin/su: No such file or directory

I saw no errors with the batch file but appears something is severely missing.. so even though ROOT is working I tried to install the busybox and it failed to install saying no ROOT but Titanium Backup worked fine.
[HTC EVO 3D] bnitty:
trying to root a friends Evo 3D. is this an permanent root now or still temp root?
[HTC EVO 3D] raymond4:
This is a temporary root method
[HTC EVO 3D] danaff37:
Did you go erase a bunch of system apps/bloat with titanium? The less you mess with /system, the longer it will last. If you want rid of bloat, just freeze it.
[HTC EVO 3D] SirThumpaLot:
This has been a fairly stable procedure for me. I made a quick video tutorial if this helps...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O5Ssrco-jUU&feature=youtube_gdata_player

Edit: Correction, the video tutorial I threw together was using panamaniac's method which just happens to include this along with the OC and hulu fix. My bad. Either way, hopefully it'll help. Cheers!
[HTC EVO 3D] ycats:
maybe you guys can help me out, when running the .bat file, I keep getting "adb server is out of date. killing..." over and over

what can I do to remedy this?
[HTC EVO 3D] danaff37:
That error is no big deal as long as everything works and it roots. Just sometimes it has to restart the adb service.
[HTC EVO 3D] ycats:
after it goes through that loop, it still doesn't root the phone
[HTC EVO 3D] fowenati:
Well there is now PERM root out, so just go to revolutionary.io and get it, you need to know your phones serial # and hboot version to root it though, its fairly easy to find though
[HTC EVO 3D] Blaqdymun:
I must be an idiot!

I run the program and get stuck at the adb shell sync string, the next line says

"C:\users\blaqdymun\desktop\rw_evo_3d>> Pause

what am I doing wrong? I got s-off working, I just cant get this "adb" crap together, i installed drivers, I deleted Htc SYNC, RESTARETED phone & pc ....now it 9am & I need a drink!
[HTC EVO 3D] Fertilizer:
with OG EVO i get the SU app but does not work =(
[HTC EVO 3D] fowenati:
This isnt for the OG Evo. What's your firmware (eg 2.2, 2.3.3), and are you S-OFF?

If you're on 2.2 then use unrevoked (google it). If you're S-OFF then do the RUU (google: EVO4G RUU) then do unrevoked.
[HTC EVO 3D] Fertilizer:
Someone claims that this is working on his 2.3 evo that's why I tries

Anyone looking to this thread, don't bother. Just use revolutionary.io and get your S-OFF. True perm root.
[HTC EVO 3D] Curb71:
how do I know if this method worked ? I checked my phone and computer for htc sync and didn't find it anywhere do I assume it's off? I did check usb debugging. but when I do what the op says to do I get about 30 replies that all say,

"adb is not recognized as an internal or external command".
[HTC EVO 3D] ajones7279:
Why are people still doing this when permanent root has been achieved? Did you not read the above post?
[HTC EVO 3D] tjlawson09:
I'm definitely not a mod or a devolper but I'm pretty sure this thread should be closed. And the op should edit the first post to say s=off here or something.
[HTC EVO 3D] fowenati:
True, but some people are hesitant for s-off and want.temp.root till s-off gets out of dev beta

[HTC EVO 3D] fowenati:
S-OFF doesn't delete your files, just do S-OFF from revolutionary.io, I haven't heard of anyone losing their files from it. Once you get S-OFF you can do pretty much anything.

EDIT: I was reading the thread that you posted and even though it says don't skip this step, you'd be fine if you did. I never backup up before S-OFF and I had used the same Temp Root Utility before. Just enable USB Debugging and make sure you have the drivers for the 3D installed and then make sure Sync is not running (check the system tray and process from task manager). Then run Revolutionary.io, make sure you flash the CWM Recovery when prompted.
[HTC EVO 3D] Action B:
Alright, if that's the case I may as well go for it.

- Well that was easy enough. I can haz root. Thanks good sir.

Just curious as to why some of you are still trying to temp-root when perm-root has been available for quite some time. You can't flash anything with temp-root, as you lose your temp-root when phone is rebooted, so you can't temporarily try roms/kernals to make sure you want to perm-root. Not dissing any one, just curious as to why some people still want this.
[HTC EVO 3D] TechnoHacker:
I'm on HBOOT 1.50. This means I can't flash radios if i root and it will erase all my data if i unlock with HTC. I'd rather prema-temp root until revolutionary gets out for the EVO 3D.
