RootDroid-release.apk

Does it work on N1?

I tried but it only stop at this screen http:blog.kanru.info/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/rootdroid.png

Could you please detail step by step?
[Nexus One Android Development] hmanxx:
current method of rooting ,doesnt support ADB Root..anyway to overcome this..
[Nexus One Android Development] Kan-Ru Chen:
1. Run the app. (you have done this)

2. Toggle wifi settings, now you should have /system/bin/su command

3. Install Superuser.apk from this thread

4. You can use `adb shell su` to gain root shell now
[Nexus One Android Development] j00m:
I have no one PC around. (as i looked at your screenshot, you plugin n1 to PC).

I tried with connectbot shell? no luck.

Any idea?
[Nexus One Android Development] Kan-Ru Chen:
Install Superuser.apk then normal root practices will apply.

Invoke `su` from Android Terminal Emulator works too.
[Nexus One Android Development] kwazi:
noob question here...

can you still use this technique to flash ROMs other than cyanogen? I want to use it with enomther's ROM..
[Nexus One Android Development] ilostchild:
Yes you can use this to install any rom this jus gives you Root access to flash a recovery image which allows to flash Any rom desired
[Nexus One Android Development] kwazi:
Awesome thanks for the reply

Should be trying it this wknd :-)
[Nexus One Android Development] alebreez:
Works like a charm SO MANY THANKS :D:D:D
[Nexus One Android Development] drew_grant:
Ok. I downloaded and installed RootDroid on my phone. Opened it up and switched to Wi-Fi settings straight from the RootDroid application when it told me to toggle Wi-Fi and it didn't do anything. I even tried to install superuser.apk afterwards just in case it worked and nothing pops up. When I type in su it still says permission denied. What am I doing wrong?
[Nexus One Android Development] drew_grant:
Alright I got all the way up to step 18 on the OP method and it says "./busybox not found". Anybody know how to fix this?
[Nexus One Android Development] j00m:
It doesn't work on my N1, AT&T with FRF91 stock.

Never got /system/bin/su at step 2 (as below). Any idea? please.

1. Run the app. (you have done this)

2. Toggle wifi settings, now you should have /system/bin/su command

3. Install Superuser.apk from this thread

4. You can use `adb shell su` to gain root shell now

Issue

Hi guys,

I'm a little confused.

I followed the steps and got root access. Proceeded to flash recovery with amon_ra recovery image. I got an error stating "mtd: not writing bad block at 0x000xxxxx" etc. I redownloaded several times, all with the same issue.

I rebooted to check if it worked at all, and found i had the Amon recovery console.

I reboot back into the phone and reboot again, and the Amon recovery no longer exists. When i boot into boot loader, and go to recovery, i only get the triangle, where by pressing power/volume, i get the stock android recovery.

Secondly, how can i go back to full stock if i choose (without unlocked bootloader)?

Help please :)

EDIT: Should of mentioned i have an N1
[Nexus One Android Development] mrcrassic:
Thanks for the guide! It seems to give device-level root access, but doesn't give adb root access. Is that by design or can that be fixed?
[Nexus One Android Development] Kan-Ru Chen:
Just updated the apk.

Should work now :)

You are too good. Worked great!send many love to you &team.

[Nexus One Android Development] andyju:
It works on Nexus One from Korea too!

Thanks a lot.
[Nexus One Android Development] WaPeR32:
Hi!

Thanks a lot! My Nexus One (Vodafone Spain) is rooted and have the Amon_RA's recovery but I have 2 questions:

- This will works with american Nexus One (free, no company)

- I have an error (something like "read-only") with this commands:

rm /system/etc/install-recovery.sh
rm /system/recovery-from-boot.p

Thanks again!
[Nexus One Android Development] dev47:
@dolomiti7 (and WaPeR32 )

I think you are missing an instruction at step 6 of "recovery":

The /system/ directory was read only, I had to run 'mount -o rw,remount /dev/block/mtdblock4 /system' and move flash_image to /system/bin to get this to work. I also think it'd be better to just rename those files instead of completely deleting them

Also, if you could modify the "Recovery" title to "Install custom recovery image for fastboot" (or something like that), that would be great! I spent half an hour trying to figure out what "Flash Recovery" meant (too many threads with 50 pages!) :D

Then, this will be THE place to go for people rooting for the first time.

Thanks!
[Nexus One Android Development] WaPeR32:
@dev47, thank you a lot!

Why you think is better to rename the files instead of remove them?

I move "flash_image" to /data/local/tmp, is there any problem? or no matter where you move it (/data/local/tmp or /system/bin)?
[Nexus One Android Development] dev47:
Shouldn't matter. dolomiti7 even suggests you delete it once you are done (I did also).

As far as renaming the system files, you never know.. You have nothing to lose from having them kicking around as .bak's.
[Nexus One Android Development] WaPeR32:
So, you remove these files using the commands you posted?

But if you don't remove these files, they are taking memory, or not?

Thanks! (and sorry for my poor english :D)
[Nexus One Android Development] dev47:
Yes technically they are taking memory - I didn't check their sizes, may or may not be sigificant.

I'm sure deleting them is fine.. Just a suggestion I had. It's up to you :D

As long as installing the recovery image worked, just create a nandroid backup and you're good
[Nexus One Android Development] cmstlist:
Any idea if this method or an adaptation of it would work on the HTC Desire?
[Nexus One Android Development] frankyyy02:
Quick question - nandbackup - what does it actually backup? Will it actually backup my rooting process?

Thanks.

Hi,

i've got some problem with my Kaiser. It doesn't want to charge the battery. Couple days ago my Kaiser screamed for AC with 7% of the battery, so I plugged it into AC for whole night. My telephon didn't want to wake up next day and only red diode was lightning. I thought that my accu is dead so i decided to bought new one. Kaiser starts normally with new accu but unfortunately it doesn't want to charge it. I measured voltago on the kaiser pins with plugged AC, there is no more than about 2-3V. Before that my Kaiser stood several days on the battery. I did hard reset, but didn't help.

Could someone measure a voltage on Kaiser pins with AC plugged in?

Does it mean that my Kaiser is almost dead?

System: KaiserTouch 23569 (release from April or June).

Thanks!
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] Mr. Clown:
Have you tried another battery, It looks like you need a new one.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] tippy:
yes, I have a new one. Kaiser turns on but doesn't want to charge a new battery too.
[EVO 4G Accessories] VSack:
I received my 3500mah on Friday with case. I haven't done any formal testing, but its been off the charger since last night on a fresh, untreated ROM and after a full day of work (including 35 minutes of Pandora on my commuter) its at 73%.

Now, some blown out pics:

Pros:

There is no debating this; the camera lens is now OFF of flat surfaces! :)

With the changed dimensions of the phone, I find it easier to hold.

If you like a more pronounced presence in your pants, this phone will help provide it ;)

You know when you have left your phone behind. This is great if you are a /b/tard that can't remember anything.

Holy crap the battery life!

Battery does not get hot. I haven't felt a temp change at all at 1190Mhz.

The balance of the phone has been maintained.

Slip-free material on the rear cover feels better and is more tactile.

The rear cover snaps in tighter than the OEM.

Cons:

Its heavier. Not as much as you would think, but it definitely adds weight. Not necessarily always a bad thing.

Its fatter. The overall size reminds me more of a PDA than a phone now.

The material used on the rear cover is impervious to all sticky material. I ordered two covers, the other one has been ground down trying to fit an M2 disc on the back and nothing is working. I've tried 3M tape, 3M windshield tape, Super Glue, and JBWeld. Its futile.

There is always the off chance that a battery goes off in my hand like a grenade, killing me, my puppy, two cats, two chinchillas, and possibly my wife in one hellacious blaze of glory. Hopefully Bon Jovi will be playing at the time.

Conclusion:

[4.5/5] I ordered an extended battery that was twice the size of my regular battery with a rear cover replacement and got exactly what I expected. Its not for everyone; But if you want your phone to feel more substantial and have a battery that has a half-life apparently on par with the radioactive isotopes at Chernobyl, this might be the battery for you.

More to come as I play with it! Post your thoughts and experiences.
[EVO 4G Accessories] VSack:
More (resized this time) pics, showing the pronounced camera protection.
[EVO 4G Accessories] hpycpl2:
I agree, I've had mine now for approx 2 weeks and could never go back. I've been running Hero's Baked Snacks Roms and can easily get 2 days with moderate use if needed (I charge every night however). I'm usually around 55% - 60% (approx) after a full day.

It's definitely fatter but the phone is large anyway. The only drawback for me is that i cant fit any case on it which kinda sucks..
[EVO 4G Accessories] xero187:
Nice... mine should be here soon... totally stoked knowing I'll be able to really use and abuse all of the capabilities of the EVO. :D
[EVO 4G Accessories] VSack:
Agreed. I wanted to show the recessed lens because the back cover kind of acts like a case. But I would like to skin it a little more. :)

I need to find a way to stick the Soundgate disc on the back. This is driving me insane.
[EVO 4G Accessories] SharkUW:
I should be getting mine tomorrow. Can't wait.
[EVO 4G Accessories] Brutal-Force:
I got mine in the mail today. When my girlfriend called to ask me what I was doing this morning, I responded, "waiting on my new battery, of course. " I was able to charge it before I left for work this evening. I had to restart 3x before I reached a full charge. I will be happy when its properly calibrated. Four hours later I am at 89%. I love it. :-)
[EVO 4G Accessories] firemedic1343:
I wish they'd make this with a Rugged Case that fits it...the Rugged is bulky enough, I think they'd get a good amount of sales for that.
[EVO 4G Accessories] phillycreamboy:
Where is the cheapest place to buy this? Has anyone compared it to the cheap eBay knockoffs?
[EVO 4G Accessories] boomer30:
Im thinking about buying this:

http://www.seidioonline.com/product-p/csr5hev4x-bk.htm

but before I do, has anyone bought one ? thoughts ?
[EVO 4G Accessories] ycats:
why spend 69.95 for the 3500 that already comes with extended battery cover, then spend another 29.95 for another cover?
[EVO 4G Accessories] mhoepfin:
It is a great battery. Been using mine now for a few weeks and have gotten so used to it I don't even notice the bulge anymore. I does make it easier to hold.

Most days now I end up with about 70% battery left. Having the battery power there to do what you want to is nice.
[EVO 4G Accessories] ycats:
mine will arrive Thursday, looking forward to it
[EVO 4G Accessories] longhorntx09:
Anybody have any experience with the "Innocell 1750mAh Slim Extended Life Battery" ? I want to buy this. I'd rather not have a big bulge on the back of my phone lol
[EVO 4G Accessories] VSack:
Probably in the thread about the 1750mah Slim Extended Life Battery?
[EVO 4G Accessories] Brutal-Force:
First night with my new battery, and Seidio did not disappoint. Just like with my G1 and extended battery, I was able to go 12 hours of very heavy use. Internet/Games/Phone/Text/ and I watched Avatar in HD using my V-Moda Remix headphones, and streamed about 3 hours of Pandora. After all that I was still at 35% before I gave up and went to bed.

There is no doubt that with moderate to heavy usage this phone will last two days and with light usage a week.
[EVO 4G Accessories] loztboy:
Ok I'm gonna put my flame suit on for this one but I purchased the ebay battery rated at 3000 mah and I think the rear cover looks much better than the seidio one. I get approximately 2 days of use on it while running the baked snacks rom and I only payed $ 10 shipped. The battery never gets hot and the battery life is amazing. I will post up pictures if you guys want but to me the seidio is very expensive and looks really ugly. It's just a bulge out of no where while the ebay one has a smoother transition.
[EVO 4G Accessories] VSack:
No flaming here :)

I've been burned in the past by no-name gray market batteries and I sleep a little easier at night knowing I can hunt down the maker of this battery should it do the whole Holy Hand Grenade thing on me.

Seidio is much more likely to hold their quality control to a higher standard since they back the product with their name, whereas a no-name can sell you a 3000mAh battery that is really only a 1650 and they don't have to watch their name dragged through the mud.

Its really a personal preference, and its a very good thing that we both have the choice to put our money where we want. :)
[EVO 4G Accessories] longhorntx09:
youre the man bro
[EVO 4G Accessories] xero187:
Haha... Funny yet true Mr. Sack. :D

Looking forward to getting a reputable uber battery, even if it means turning my back on the EVO to get hit by the ugly stick a few times.
[EVO 4G Accessories] Novarider:
I did a live chat and asked who made it and they said seidio so it should be real.

I just placed an order so I have an extra one while miner is charging in the external charger. My wife will probably end up using this one tho. It better be a real seidio product!
[EVO 4G Accessories] SouthernEvo:
Yeah so Overstock shows them being back in stock , for thirty some odd dollars and some change I figure why the hell not give it a shot . If it doesnt pan out screw it I will either send the damn thing back or just sell it to someone else for the same price I paid .
[EVO 4G Accessories] neoshi:
I might buy another one just in case.. some guys have reported that the tabs are snapping and from my experience with Seidio cases, they are probably telling the truth (I've snapped tabs on all of my Seidio cases too :\).
[EVO 4G Accessories] Kooper113:
I am running Cyan... I wonder if that makes a difference as to why I can charge to 100% without issue.

Sent not from my iPhone.
[EVO 4G Accessories] goodelyfe:
back up better get em while they hot! (and still in stock lol)
[EVO 4G Accessories] diddy0071:
Charged my battery today that I got in the mail. Fully charged, as per the website I left it charging 1-2 hours after the light turned green to ensure full charge. I turned the Sprint tethering app on, and left it running approximately 10 minutes. I came back to find my battery level at 89%. WTF? I thought this battery was supposed to be better than the stock one! My stock one did that exact thing. I like the way the phone looks and feels with the new battery and back piece, but the whole reason I got it was for the extended battery life. I would much rather prefer the stock battery and backpiece. This is dissapointing to say the least.
[EVO 4G Accessories] goodelyfe:
sometimes i wonder if folks even read lol

diddy0071, did you charge your extended battery inside the phone? or did you put it on the external wall charger? are you rooted/unrooted?

if you tried to charge your seidio extended in the phone, pls go back a few pages ;)
[EVO 4G Accessories] Novarider:
Battery Drop is an issue with the evo if the battery is charged in the phone get an external charger and you will see much much better battery life
[EVO 4G Accessories] neoshi:
diddy, did you buy yours from Overstock or another vendor?

I'm pretty sure it's a Seidio like displayed but just wanted to be sure :)
[EVO 4G Accessories] MSmith1:
You aren't charging the battery to 100%. It is impossible if you are charging in the Evo no matter what Rom you are running.
[EVO 4G Accessories] pongoface:
Ordered my seidio from overstock today. I have 2 3000mah and a 3500mah from China. Selling 2 of 3 three chinese batteries locally to get my money back. After about 10-12 cycles on the 3000mah I am getting great battery life about 1.5 times more than stock. Can not wait on the seidio.
[EVO 4G Accessories] jobryan26:
Maybe I missed it but anyone that bought the Seidio 3500mAh from Overstock.com...did they actually get a Seidio 3500mAh? Today I received a no-name 2100mAh battery and the backdoor that came with my 3000mAh from ebay. Let the games begin! lol
[EVO 4G Accessories] Novarider:
Did you order from overstock?

Dam mine already sipped so I can't cancel the order. I guess I will find out if I gotta return it in a few days. The customer support lady I chatted with said is made by seidio so I hope I get the real thing
[EVO 4G Accessories] jobryan26:
What I received from Overstock.com

Since it looks like they do not stock the Seidio (search turned up zero) I will be returning for my money back.
[EVO 4G Accessories] Novarider:
If that's what I get I will be pissed! Then I will return it and never buy from overstock again and tell everyone I know not to buy from them.
[EVO 4G Accessories] Philosuffer:
Disappointing, but somewhat expected. Will also be returning if that is what I receive. I know the item description on Overstock is intentionally vague, but at least get the product pictures correct.
[EVO 4G Accessories] jobryan26:
Mistakes happen my friend. I am in chat now and the CSR is checking on this matter. I am waiting... lol
[EVO 4G Accessories] jobryan26:
Ok, according to Phil in Customer Service@Overstock.com this is an error on the website and they do not stock the Seidio 3500mAh extended battery w/cover. They were very nice and they have issued me an RMA and emailing me the UPS label for return.
[EVO 4G Accessories] Philosuffer:
Good to know. Did you have to provide any proof? I mean, for us that haven't received ours yet - if they change the website images before we receive ours - I wonder if it will be as easy to get an RMA.
[EVO 4G Accessories] SouthernEvo:
Well hell if this is what I am getting its definitly going back . I could have got a ebay battery for cheaper then this and probably seen the same results . I already recorded the website and information on it in the event I get some friction on returning this battery . Its funny mainly due to the fact that after I saw what someone recieved from them I went back to the site and noticed as someone had mentioned how vague the description was . Sometimes some things are just to good to be true . *plays GIJOE music*
[EVO 4G Accessories] jobryan26:
No, I do not believe there will be an issue. He was quick to offer an RMA simply because at first he didn't think I was happy with the product. I wanted to confirm which item was actually for sale before we decided which direction we were going on the matter. Being a branch manager for a wholesale distribution company I can understand how things get screwed up and they handled it very well IMO. I advised him that he should get into contact with the site admin to get this correct because I am afraid there are going to be alot of upset people.
[EVO 4G Accessories] Jsimon9633:
Yeah ill be returning it if its thay
[EVO 4G Accessories] neoshi:
ughh thanks for the photo confirmation

guess i should have learned from sprint customer service lying through their teeth that these Overstock CSR were probably doing the same when I asked them if it was really manufactured by Seidio!

haha im getting an RMA before I even get the shipments.
[EVO 4G Accessories] .jond:
This battery is great. I no longer have to 'hyper mile' my phone.

I beat the crap out of it, and there's NO WAY I can get through the battery in a single day. The laws of physics won't allow it.

Normal usage, I can go 3 days without a charge.
[EVO 4G Accessories] Rican Bx Bomba:
So... should i buy "Seidio Multi-Function Battery Charger for Use with HTC Droid Incredible, HTC EVO 4G, Droid Eris and Touch Pro 2" from Amazon.com to fully charge my Seidio 3500mah Battery? please anyone? lol..
[EVO 4G Accessories] Mayonesa:
any charger that will fit the batt would work, doesnt have to be the seidio..

i have the ones you see on ebay that comes with the 1800 mah batt to charge the 3000mah i got and it works well.
[EVO 4G Accessories] vinnyty:
No need for battery bfs #4 is the balls
[EVO 4G Accessories] diddy0071:
Its running froyo stock ota, charged in the phone, and I bought it from Amazon, an actual Seido according to their website.
[EVO 4G Accessories] pongoface:
Spoke to a supervisor @ overstock.com, they told me they are looking in to the matter. If it turns up being not a seidio that they would make sure that I will get the 3500mah seidio delivered to my door. We shall see.
[EVO 4G Accessories] Jbroad572:
Let us know how that goes. I'd love to have the same thing happen as I'm sure others would as well.
[EVO 4G Accessories] pongoface:
I sent them a link to the pictures showed what our fellow member received. It also seems that the pictures were copied and pasted from amazon's link. I was told from the supervisor that the battery is coming from a dropshipper of Overstock.com. So I'd bet the farm that everyone is getting the 2100mah chinese piece of crapolos that he received. I am so upset I might send Overstock.com one of those **** o grams I have seen on the net with the battery return. Lmao
[EVO 4G Accessories] Brutal-Force:
Not that I am not a person who tries to save as much cash as possible, but I would say the quality of the Seidio Battery, not to mention smaller shipping time (which is a boon if you should have to return anything) as well as a better chance of warranty in case of any problems. It is well worth the 20-30 dollars that you "might" save.

As for the charging issue. Don't be so quick to blame the battery. Charging is a known issue with the EVO, which with this battery really should be a non issue. If you put the charger on the battery and let it charge normally for an 8 hour period, then take it off the charger, then plug it back in to "top it off" you will have a full 14-16 Hours of Hard cellphone use before you go to bed.

I would recommend this to anyone who uses their EVO for anything more than just telephone calls.
[EVO 4G Accessories] SouthernEvo:
^ This

Would be awesome if that really happens . I could see why they would do something like that especially since the image on the website shows as a Seidio . In all honesty they advertised a Seidio you ordered it from their site so you should get a Seidio . Either way if it does turn out to be true you just got you one hell of a battery for cheap ROFL (Prays for the same luck)
[EVO 4G Accessories] neoshi:
Hmm, I should hold off on the RMA perhaps.. haha already have my UPS labels all printed and ready to attach to the box when it arrives.
[EVO 4G Accessories] pongoface:
Overstock Update

Contacted by another supervisor today. She told me that she contacted the warehouse and that they are changing the picture lol. So in fact it is going to be a chinese knock off. First they offered me a refund and a 10 percent discount on my next overstock purchase. I then replied that I copied the original ad and forwarded it to Seidio in which I did. Also that it was a blatant use of the bait and switich tactic being that Seidio is the cadillac of batteries and they are sending junk. She agreed that their dropshipper knew what it was doing. She then offered me that Overstock would do everything to get me the Seidio that I ordered. Once again we shall see. I have to pay for my mistakes in life and never get any free passes. Time for big corporations to make good.
[EVO 4G Accessories] pongoface:
They finally changed the picture on overstock.com. Time to call overstock brb
