[HTC EVO 3D] joeykrim:
The first time you type su from adb shell, Superuser will display a prompt on the screen to accept or deny the request. If you don't accept the request, in adb shell it will display, "Permission denied".

On the Superuser prompt, if you select deny, when typing su in adb shell the result will always be "Permission denied" until going into the Superuser app and changing "Unknown" to Allow. Not sure why the Superuser app labels adb shell as "Unknown".

Another option, inside the Superuser app, on the Settings tab, at the very bottom there is an option, update su binary. Sometimes using this update feature will resolve permission/installation issues with the su binary.

If you wanted to verify the installation of both Superuser and root as having been done properly, my free app Root Check from the market works well. Advanced Mode should provide all the details we'd need to troubleshoot further.

Hope that helps and appreciate your support!
[HTC EVO 3D] Archalys:
Yep that does work on his rom the "type su" thing and thanks for your root check app Joey it's been super useful in trying to figure out stuff lately on the photon.... really appreciate all your contributions
[HTC EVO 3D] Rydah:
Got it! Thanks! Any idea why I had to do that with your rom though? On others, I didn't need to type Su and grant it. (Doesn't bother me though.)
[HTC EVO 3D] joeykrim:
Short answer: Since Superuser.apk is another developer's software, I didn't include it in my ROM as I didn't have his permission. I provide the superuser apk market link in my ROM OP for users. Instead of packaging Superuser apk, I used the su binary provided in AOSP as its source code is public and publically available for android usage.

Long answer: There is a free version of Superuser available thru the market and figured that would be the best way to load the Superuser apk. From personal experience as an android developer, when an app is provided with a ROM, it doesn't appear in the developer's market statistics and essentially is "off the radar". Which makes it more difficult to track which devices have loaded the software, which versions of android, etc and makes it more difficult to prioritize software upgrades to the application.

Hope I was able to explain and it helps!
[HTC EVO 3D] Rydah:
Gotcha, I'm not complaining, just wondering why. I've always loved your roms over any others. Any way I can easily set it to use the superuser app binary over aosp binary?
[HTC EVO 3D] xHausx:
ADB starting with root depends on the ro.secure property; if you type "getprop ro.secure" it should show either 0 meaning ADB keeps root or 1 meaning you have to use su for root. Just about all custom kernels/ROMs use unsecured boot.imgs but you can always change it yourself by modifying the default.prop file packed in the boot.img.

This is also what people are referring to when they say the kernel/boot.img/rom is secured or unsecured.
[HTC EVO 3D] joeykrim:
Ah! Your question in the first quote above could be intrepreted two different ways. I provided one answer for one intrepretation and Haus provided the other answer for a different intrepretation!

I'll try and bring both together. There are two primary ways to access the shell interface on an android device.

1) Via adb shell. When typing adb shell and it opens the connection to the device, by android standard, it drops you to a shell with non root access reflected with the $ prompt. As Haus articulated above, this can be modified in the /default.prop file inside the ramdisk of the boot.img file. There are two options, have adb shell drop to root access or have adb shell drop to non root access. Many custom kernels modify this option so the user drops to root access.

In my kernel I'm using a non-modified stock kernel so it drops to non root access. I prefer to have to type su, once in the shell, to elevate to root access. Mainly because most functions I perform in adb shell I don't want root access for.

2) Via terminal emulator/connectbot. When accessing the shell directly on the device thru one of the common android applications, these generally open up a standard "sh" or non root shell. Then by typing "su" the user can elevate to root access (if the device has the su binary, etc.).

There are two main options for how to handle the "su" command inside a shell on the android device.

1) Superuser.apk - this application provides its own su binary, which hooks into the android application. Whenever su is called, the Superuser application is therefore called and allows the user to accept/deny root access requests.

2) su binary - from aosp or busybox. this is a version of the su binary more common to android developers in aosp, or the busybox version is more common to a generic linux version. the aosp version of su will grant any user/application root access. the busybox version will grant any user/application root access but does rely on an /etc/passwd and /etc/group file for permissions.

To answer your previous question, why you haven't had to type su on other custom ROMs, as Haus explained, they probably modified adb shell access in the /defult.prop file to automatically elevate adb shell to root priviledges.

To answer your last question regarding Superuser.apk and aosp su. Once you install the Superuser.apk file and it properly installs its own version of the su binary, it has now overwrite the previous aosp su binary. Superuser will now control all root access requests. Once you grant an application, adb shell, titantium backup, root explorer, or whatever application root access with Superuser, it will not prompt again and will handle every future request with the default action (grant/deny) provided.

Hope the extra details help!

[Motorola Photon 4G] laraiza:
Heres the deal. I have a MAC with a newly installed hard drive. On my old hard drive I had everything setup with SDK and Adb but that was when I had an HTC Hero. My problem is this: When in terminal my damn computer keeps prompting me for a password but it doesnt allow me to type anything except control C which aborts the program. It never was like that with the old hard drive.

2. Ive dl SDK for MAC unzipped it and saved it to my desktop and my hard drive.

3. When I click on tools it says "adb_has_moved.txt"

4. It says the adb tool has moved to platform-tools/ and if you dont see this directory in your SDK, launch the SDK and AVD manager and install "android SDK Platform-tools and also update my path environment variable to include the platform-tools/ directory, so I can execute adb from any location. What the heck does this mean and how do I fix it. Also how do I know if SDK is installed correctly.

5. I DL some version of eclipse that was recommended from SDK but I dont know how to use that either.

6. I have tried all the root methods shown here in XDA except the on with the Dock since I dont have a dock.

7. Also ADB does not recognize my device and my debug is selected. I cannot get it to find my device.

8. One last question when some instructions say unzipped and move the root exploit to /data/tmp/ is that the file labeled under sdcard/data or is it the one inside the Android Folder listed as "data"

Please anyone help if possible.
[Motorola Photon 4G] laraiza:
let me try that
[Motorola Photon 4G] laraiza:
Stupid question but How do I launch SDK?
[Motorola Photon 4G] CCallahan:
Make sure your phone has USB Debugging Mode enabled. Otherwise, adb will not recognize your device.

Check this thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=879701

However, you will have to modify for MAC.

In my opinion the easiest way to root the Photon is still using the dock method. Otherwise, try the One Click Root method (Torpedo) as mentioned above. Then you don't have to worry about issuing all the commands.
[Motorola Photon 4G] laraiza:
I got it done I got it done. What I did was borrow my daughters windows netbook and the one click method worked on the first try. Thanks to all who replied. I will definitely hit your thanks buttons.
[Motorola Photon 4G] shabbypenguin:
im sorry.. my tool was a one click i dint think i needed to give it instructions.. especially teh part of how to run it on your computer... just fyi.. when invoking sudo (to do things as admin/root) on your computer. you are asked to enter in your password.. as a privacy/security feature it will NOT display any characters.. ergo it looks blank...

as you arent teh first one to run into this issue ill add instructions for mac users ( i know anyone running linux can figure out how to run a bash script, and windows users have a bat file after installing 209387249087 drivers... but they still figure it out ;P)

[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tghockey07:
Thats where the processor is. Are you overclocked? Mine gets warm, but I believe that's because I have it in a case and there is no room for heat dissipation. Heat will kill electronics, so make sure that it does not get too hot.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kendall316:
i am overclocked now. but it was doing that even before i rooted it

[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kendall316:
ok, next question. how do i unroot so they dont give me a hard time?
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 5thElement:
Unfortunately this is just another consumer with his or her mind poisoned by companies who sell worthless cooling products for electronic devices.

It requires an education in electrical engineering to understand what is "hot". You cant simply feel the back of your device and guess that it is hot when you have no idea what the temperature even is and when you have no idea what temperature is hot for electronics.

Chips can run at 80c which is getting close to water boiling. If the back of your device does not burn your skin to a blister then NO, your device is not running hot or anywhere near warm.

Education is key to understanding our reality.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kendall316:
doesnt burn my skin or blister, no. but it is hot enough to the point where i cant hold it in that spot because it feels like its going to. its like putting your hand on xbox that had just been run for 10 hours straight
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 5thElement:
As stated before, the tegra 2 does not produce anywhere near the power dissipation to overheat even when overclocked.

I have to ask again, what is the temperature of the back of the unit?

Downloaded and have been trying to flash, back from XPKH3. So far, without any success.

- If I try to flash with the bundled MultiLoader version 2.62, it reports and error right at the beginning, right after (successfully) transferring the bootloader, upon trying to delete the old bootloader.

- If I try to flash with the latest (2.65) MultiLoader version, everything seems to be all right; however, after the flashing and restarting the phone, what I get is the usual connect screen with the exclamation mark. From there, I can only switch to download mode again, but nothing else.

Flashing back to the latest 2.0 XPKH3 (with 2.65, of course) always works.

I'll soon try flashing with 2.62 without overwriting the bootloader (that is, removing the checkmark from the first checkbox) to see what happens as it's at erasing the bootloader that 2.62 fails.
[Bada Software and Hacking General] theconqueror:

I can not give a external link to you because I'm a newbie here and I'm not allowed to do it.

I think the firmware in Samfirmware is full and without problem....the multiloader is in the file...V5.62

Thanks again. I've found out what I've done wrong: I've forgotten to check in the "Boot Change" (first) checkbox.

Hello all,

I have had no data connection in the last few days. solid signal, but no data. i have done almost everything i can do and still the same result. switched back to Rev.A and i can get 3g "ok", not sure whats up. Any suggestions? I also reflashed the Mr2 radio and no change.

Another thought is my SIM card might have taken a dump. Id be willing to take it into verizon and get a new sim but dont want to unroot, revert to stock. got way to much going on with my phone to just start from scratch again : ( just so i can "try" if a new SIM would work. what would happen if i took my rooted thunderbolt into a verizon store for a new SIM card?. Would they Deny me service?or put a note on my account stating i have rooted and voided my warranty?. Just curious as to what would happen. they would deffidently notice right off the bat because of my sense 3.0 rom, kernal, gingerbread, signal icons,lock ring,signal bars, spash screen, boot animation and sound, etc...

need help guys! thanks in advance! : )
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JBO1018:
Well I know you said you don't want to but just make a nandroid backup before you unroot and stick it on your pc for safe keeping. Then when you are re-rooted just wipe everything and restore the backup and you are EXACTLY where you were before. Plus with Revolutionary re-rooting takes all of 5-10 minutes.

[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] loonatik78:
Talk to the guys there. Get a feel for them... The guys at the shops near me couldn't care less about a rooted device. As long as the software isn't the issue, which a bum SIM shouldn't be, they shouldn't really care. I'd feel them out a bit before assuming unrooting is a must. You might get lucky.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] E90 Commie:
I will send this thread up. This is exactly the problem I am experiencing. The Thunderbolt has perfectly good network signal but data connection is not working. It complains about "SIM card not found" when entering the Settings and APNs. The SIM card is detected by the device otherwise, it's possible to save contacts to it and retrieve them. But 4G data is completely dead.

I visited a VZW store yesterday and received a new SIM card but the problem is still there. I have also tried to reflash to the latest leaked radio without any solution.

The ROM used is the latest Synergy Nightly.

I begin to consider the possibility of restoring the Thunderbolt back to stock and get a replacement but it would be good if this problem can be solved.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RomsWell:
Theres a issue with some roms not being desprinted enough and flashing them can corupt the vzw setup. Either flash back to orig and reroot or do the ##whatever and make sure your data config is right. If i helped and im sure i did click thanks ;)
[HD2 General] bsbokc:
Ok guys so I could use some help here. I bought a new (used) HD2 yesterday. It is the TMOUS version and I am having every problem I could possibly imagine with it. When I bought it the phone would only boot to the pink T-Mobile screen. It wouldn't go any further than that. I have been able to succesfully able to boot it into the 3 color bootloader screen and am able to flash HSPL using the HSPL4 program. I have successfully flashed both 2.08 and 3.03 HSPL. One time I was even able to flash MAGLDR 1.13 but when it booted into MAGLDR it only showed a black screen with MAGLDR at the top. It didn't give me any options to do anything. I believe that it is because MAGLDR only works with radio 2.15 from what I have read, but I can't seem to get that radio or any other for that matter to flash to the phone. It gets stuck at 96% then I get a connection error. I have no idea what radio it currently has or had as I have done a task 29 a couple of times and it flashes correctly but doesn't change anything. I have tried it on two different computers using 2 different operating systems (XP, WIN7). I have searched until my eyes bleed and done everything I can think of I have been working on this for a little over 12 hours now and I am ready to throw this phone against the wall, so could someone please help me save my sanity and get this thing working or at least tell me that I am SOL and nothing I can do will fix it.

Edit well now I think it is officially bricked. I tried flashing Radio Leo 2.15.50.14 that I got from DFT_LEO70_RELEASE and it stopped at 16%. The recovery wizard came up and I did exactly what it said and now the phone won' reboot into the bootloader or do anything for that matter.
[HD2 General] johnerz:
if you get the 3 colour screen then it likely the phone will work, you need to start from scratch

use this thread http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=611433

I would task 29 then instal a stock rom, if that works and it should providing you have not installed an incorrect radio, then consider a custom rom

Have you tried pressing and holdingthe up and down Volume buttons and then press the power button?

The 2.15.50.14 would not normaly brick the phone iirc

time patience and following the instructions is what you need, Good luck

Hi,

I remember that a bunch of folks RMA'd their tablet for light bleed. Since I normally have apps running with light colored stuff, I never noticed... and my brother came over... played some space game that was dark screened and was like omg, you have light bleed all over. (I am B40).

Do I just open RMA ticket w/ ASUS and say I have light bleed? Or do I need to describe or somehow mark with tape or something, where we are seeing it?

So my biggest gripe with my phone from day one is the moto messaging app. Now that we have root I am trying to install the vanilla asop app.

I have tried pulling the app from my og and installing in /system/app and setting permissions right. Upon reboot the app is installed however when you try to run it it just FCs

I also came across this link http://www.droid-life.com/2010/04/15/download-new-mms-apk-with-custom-settings/ which I believe is the same mms.apk used in cm7 right now. I tried both sets of instructions, using root explorer and adb. Both give me the same result as before with FC.
