i just installed a terminal app from the market, type su and hit enter, it asked to allow or deny, so i believe just a terminal app will give you SU also, correct?

im an idiot when it comes to adb. also just a reminder to the root nobbs, if your using vista, just name the update, update dont add the .zip to it, or it wont work.
[Motorola Droid Android Development] cellulararrest:
Correct. Please don't start removing apps from your system. A few people have been doing that just because they can and are causing themselves real problems. Hold off until someone succeeds in their endeavors for a custom recovery image.

newest method that does not require adb

Ok, ive followed the instructions for rooting word for word but phone says failed, that It cannot find file.. Any suggestions?
[Motorola Droid Android Development] rvonder:
I am having precisely the same problem - I can run the raw 'su' command in an emulator on the phone, and the $ prompt changes to a # after I grant permission. But every app I've tried that triggers the identical prompt requesting SU permission just hangs after I click 'allow', and never returns.

I have seen this same complaint in posts on several forums, but have yet to see a clear answer as to why it's happening and what to do about it. It appears to me that those who went through the original lengthy process of rooting via adp from a PC now have no problems running root-required apps. Yet every time someone reposts those original instructions, people jump to say that the original instructions are outdated, and that the new streamlined procedure using droid-superuser_update.zip accomplishes an identical result.

Is there anyone out there that can give us the straight scoop on this? I want to get to the point that root-required apps will work, but would obviously prefer not to go through all those steps if it's not really necessary.

Many thanks!
[Motorola Droid Android Development] boostdscoob:
re-root, try again.. i have no problems whatsoever.

also dont know if anyone else posted, but heres the command thru the terminal i figured out to rename the otacerts file, so it cant be found... i have no clue about linux, i kinda just guessed and tried a few times, till i got it right.. this works, and i verified it thru SU file manager

su

mount -o remount,rw -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system

cd /system/etc/security

mv otacerts.zip otacerts.zip.bak

mount -o ro,remount -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system

sync

reboot

Why not just delete most of steps 1-6 and download direct with the phone?
[Motorola Droid Android Development] dabo318:
Whenever i try to run Metamorph it just loops that its setting up the zip file and never does. My GF was trying to root my phone first but gave up after seeing it wasn't as easy as the iphone. But i didn't see the folders first so here is a screenshot.

I'm not sure if the Droid root and Droid root 4 folders are supposed to have the same contents as the update.zip? is this where my problem coming from?
[Motorola Droid Android Development] boostdscoob:
are you referring to the first post? if so, please explain to me how you percieve to do this, and by all means try it.. then go buy a new phone. it makes no sense to me, how you perceive this to even be close to intermediate, let alone hard to do. i would let my 6 year old attempt this. granted he already does multiplication.. but still..
[Motorola Droid Android Development] boostdscoob:
OMG, why do people insist on making this difficult?

download the file from the link. do not open it, do not extract it, just find it, rename it to update dont use .zip at the end if your running windows vista/7

then plug your phone in, open the taskbar, then select usb connected, click on mount.

when autoplay pops up, hit open folder to view files.

drag the update file over to the newly opened folder from autoplay.

on your phone hit usb turnoff storage, select turn off

disconnect the cable. thenturn off your phone, hit x and power button, use dpad to go to apply update.zip

once its done loading, select reboot now

DONE
[Motorola Droid Android Development] dabo318:
Thanks, but the first post did not specify that the .zip needed to be left of for vista users. Now that that's taken care of, do you have a fix for Metamorph looping at the setup zip screen. I'm very much aware of the "fix" listed.

Zip problem

If the zip check continues to loop you can download the zip binary from this thread:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=589315

Just follow the instructions in the first post.

The link does not assist at all with downloading the zip binary.
[Motorola Droid Android Development] rainabba:
To clarify my previous post..

ON YOUR PHONE:

Install your favorite file manager (I like AndroZip).

In your browser enter (http://alldroid.org/download/file.php?id=659) to download the rootupdate zip file.

Use your file manager to move it from /sdcard/downloads/downloadedfile (might be file.php) to /sdcard/update.zip.

Power off the phone, then power on again while holding x on the physical keyboard.

When you get the Yield icon with exclamation mark, hold volume+ and press the camera key. That should get you a menu where you can use the dpad to select "update from update.zip".

When it's done reboot and you're rooted.

No ADB

No mounting

No renaming issues that are OS specific

Fast

Simple

My 2 cents
[Motorola Droid Android Development] kmetz:
The hole has been closed: https://review.source.android.com/#change,12807

(also see http://twitter.com/cbeust/status/6513303829)

Kudos to "S McCarthy", though!

Means: Future android releases (> 2.0.1) won't be exploitable with this method, possibly including the upcoming Milestone update.
[Motorola Droid Android Development] cellulararrest:
Right, but the hole currently exists. All that is needed is an update to be pushed or released for the device. As long as you don't install that update and wait for a new update.zip to be created from the official one, you will be able to use this exploit.
[Motorola Droid Android Development] kmetz:
So I assume that we could have root access on Milestones running 2.0.1 (when it comes out) if we:

- use that update to make a "rooting" update.zip (with the help of http://alldroid.org/viewtopic.php?p=5006#p5006)

- install a custom recovery image which accepts every update.zip (there is one linked in the alldroid.org post above, would that work or do we need a specific recovery image for the Milestone?)

- apply the real update.zip

- then apply the "rooting" update.zip again to have root access (it will be accepted without depending on the security hole because we flashed our own revorey image)
[Motorola Droid Android Development] psufan5:
are there any negatives to rooting the phone? Can you unroot it?
[Motorola Droid Android Development] boostdscoob:
negatives, possibly bricking. unrooting, you just install manually, the ota update again
[Motorola Droid Android Development] cellulararrest:
Pretty much. However there is a slight snag with the 2.0.1 update. It reflashes the recovery image every time it boots... So your custom recovery image will be wiped out the first time you boot 2.0.1

You will have to remove "/system/recovery-from-boot.p" from either the update.zip or, use a recovery image that gives you ADB access so you can remove it from you device after the upgrade has been performed and before you boot the device for the first time.

Chances are Custom ROM's will be available based on the 2.0.1 update before it gets pushed to you guys anyway. So you probably would just end up rooting your current 2.0 and going directly to a different ROM.
[Motorola Droid Android Development] kmetz:
Thanks cellulararrest, I didn't know about the recovery partition re-flashing behaviour. So we'll wait until a custom Milestone image shows up.

root - now what?

first of all, i want to thank you xda maniacle programmers for posting this hack, worked in a snap and now my phone is finally mine.

i still cant figure out how to remove the bloatware and preinstalled apps that Verizon skewered this phone with though.

I'de like to clean up my app folder without crashing my system - any ideas on how to remove preinstalled apps?

thanks!

Noob needing help with getting proper root running android 2.1 OTA update

I would like to find out how to root my Motorola Droid that is running 2.1 OTA form verizon, if its possible.

Will there be problems if the next OTA Froyo gets installed?

I have read that this new update does not mess with the bootloader, is that true?

Thanks for the help, guys and gals.

[Motorola Droid Android Development] Barkleyfan:
Post #1 in this thread tells you how to gain root. Then it's a matter of grabbing Rom Manager, flashing the recovery with it, then choosing a rom to flash with it. I endorse the paid version, as it really opens up your options. When you find roms or themes you like, donate. Helps keep the developers motivated.

problem: Handsent sms regularly misspells words and phrases in my attempts to use it as a voice sms...(example: truth = roof).

This could be due to 2 different possibilities

1. I can't speak intelligibly (my wife gives this possibility some life) but voice search in the stock google search app works fine for me.

2. handsent sucks at voice sms - if so, can it be configured differently or is there a sms that works with voice more efficiently?

any thoughts?

EDIT: This information is out dated now but visit the link below for updated info.

taken from here http://www.samsungmomentforum.com/rooting/root-access-(finally-achieved!)/

1) Partition your SD Card to have first partition as fat16 and second ext3 [this tutorial assumes you have this setup exactly as stated]

2) Boot in Test Mode with Call+Center+Power

3) copy root into your tools directory of the sdk

4) adb push root /system

5) adb shell chmod 0755 /system/root

6) adb shell /system/root

7) unplug usb, remove battery, reboot into test mode when instructed

8) adb shell

9) /system/bin/btld_testmode

10) /system/root

Is this temp or persistent root? For temp root I don't think partitioning the sd card is necessary or at least I didn't partition it when I temp rooted my Moment.
[Android Software Development] ElfinJNoty:
Was a long time WinMo user, I was stuck with a Moto Q9c on sprint for way to long. I'm still stuck with sprint, but got the Moment in hopes of having a badass Android to start with.

Night and Day compared to my Q, the root is key though, custom rom's were so easy on the Q.

soooo im a newb to android, same question as johnbarry3434.

does it stick?

I've got two Moment's(thanks sprint for shipping me 2 and charging me for neither) ?maybe one for test purposes?

Anything I can do to help the rooting process, please let me know

I cannot get my samsung to root

I have the updated cupcake cl14 and when I boot my phone with talk+center+power, I boot into a test mode that lets me test the screen, keyboard, and so on. I did copy the root file (supplied from the instructions ) to the main part of my card on both partitions, and partitioned it just as it stated in the 1st step. I don't understand what the "adb" is and how to use it. Can this only be down with windows because I'm am using Ubuntu. I know adb is advance debugging bridge but after some google searches I still don't know how to use it. I now a little about chmod 0755 because of Ubuntu but any "hand-holding" instructions would be great thankyou to everyone who is willing to help me and others out with this problem.

Hello,

I'm trying to find the way controlling my internet connection type through code, and I still have some issues that I didn't solve.

To connect to the internet I use

ConnMgrEstablishConnectionSync()

and the connection manager is connecting automatically to UMTS or to GSM.

If I want to know whether I'm connected to UMTS or GSM, I can use

RIL_GetCurrentSystemType()

But how can I switch the connection from GSM to 3G by myself?

I want my application to be like IE that switching between connection types while surfing and without noticing it.

I wish someone can help me.
