SuperUser - Not Prompting - Hero CDMA General

For some reason SuperUser is not prompting when trying to apply settings to AutoKiller.
- Running Fresh 2.1.2.
- Complete Wipe.
- Dalvik Wipe.
- I've reflashed.
- USB Debugging is on.
Any tips/tricks for why Superuser is not prompting for apps needing root/superuser permissions?
Thanks!
Jerry

Did you chmod the /su folders?
I can't post urls yet but here's a thread that I used.
/showthread.php?t=521580
adb shell chmod 4775 /system/xbin/su
adb shell chmod 4775 /system/bin/su

EDIT: NVM I really need to actually read the posts instead of just the titles.

Titanium Backup working

Thanks for all the help from the forum on rooting.
Titanium backup is working great on the DI.
Got Root, Manually installed Superuser, Manually install busybox. Used Titanium to install a new Busybox to the app, everything backs up great.
It's missing from the market for some reason

Did you make your root persistent? You're not going to be able to see root apps if you're not rooted, I don't think.

I could see Titanium on the market before I rooted. I would check the spelling or better yet, use appbrain.com to locate it.
how did you get superuser.apk to install?
See this post for installing superuser.apk
But how did you get busybox installed so Titanium would work?
When you go into Titanium, go to the Menu -> Problems. It will prompt you to download a version of busybox that works with it.

After Superuser.apk and su are setup
while still in recovery root (this does not seem to work if rebooted and using persistance root and remounting /system rw),
cd /system/xbin
/system/bin/cat /sdcard/busybox > busybox
chmod 777 busybox
./busybox --install -s /system/xbin
Reboot, Run Titanium, use Problems? button to download and install a new busybox into the Titanium app
For me, Titanium would not run to a point to use the Problems button until I put a version of busybox on the phone first.

Thanks for the replies
Got it working!! Great, thanks!!
I just got my Incredible rooted and installed Titanium Backup when I run it it says "BusyzBox works but the "su" command does not elevate to root:"whoami" reports "whoami:unknown uid 10108" instead of root?uid 0. I think your "Superuser Whitelist" system app does not work. Please check with your ROM provider." how do I fix this? or is it even a problem? Thanks.
same problem here
I am sure it is just a linux issue, but I am getting it too, but i am not a guru and do not know how to handle it ;-)
Can anyone explain titanium backup a little more??? Do I need to backup every app individually or just let the schedule take care of it? Which schedule option should I pick (in terms of all the options of what function you want titanium back to perform)?
I figured it out.
Just wondering, updating the version of busybox will do nothing to the root access, correct? It'll just allow titanium to work properly and root will remain?
My problem was from a not working superuser.apk. rerooted using the files from the 10min root video and now all is well. To answer the above question in regards to updating busybox, I assume you are refering to letting Titanium Backup update busybox. If so it is ok to update busybox.
Yep, that's what I was wondering. Thanks

Looking at what this backs up, I am a bit curious if it can actually restore some of it. Many sections it appears to be backing up are not writable even with root access at the moment on the Dinc.
I'm guessing it will require NAND access for this to truely be useful unless I am missing something...

That was the main purpose of me getting titanium, i'm not expecting to have the need to restore anything until i flash a custom rom. Having the backup now is awesome because i know i won't lose anything once they figure out how to unlock NAND and flash a recovery and roms
when i'm in recovery mode trying to gain persistant root i get an error.
Code:
# cd /system/bin
cd /system/bin

when in Titanium and I hit the "problems ?" button it downloads busybox, but says it failed because it doesn't have root.

[SOLVED] Reinstall Launcher.apk after Root?

Hey can someone please tell me how to reinstall the original home (Launcher.apk) i tried installing via astro with no luck.
where do i have to push the file too? can someone post instructions, thanks.
EDIT: NVM this is what i did and it worked:
adb shell mount -o remount,rw -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock2 /system
adb shell dd if=/sdcard/apps/Launcher.apk of=/system/app/Launcher.apk

yeah sorry about the wrong section, i figured it would be helpful in the dev section for people who had just finished rooting and wanted to reinstall the original home.
but thats cool, and no problem with the title change.
I don't know if you want it or not, but the free ADW launcher is quite a lot nicer. More features and feels really fast.

I get a adb not found...
I'll try with another terminal app...
And the ADW launcher with the root is horrible (and the icon to show all hap is deleted when I put my finger on T_T)), I installed zeam launcher for the moment...
There isn't a way to exec all those command live at one time ? (like .bat for windows)

You will need the Android SDK to be able to use adb... and your phone has to be in 'debug' mode (Settings>Applications>Development>USB Debugging should be checked)
Hi i just used root explorer and copied the two files to system/app/
then changed permission to rw-r--r--

[HOWTO]: Rooting the Huawei S7 Android 2.2.2 stock

Well this was a bit of a mess!
Firstly updating:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1043349
http://phonedock.net/huawei-ideos-s7-froyo-2-2-2-update.html I followed this nice writeup. Be sure to delete the log file in dload for the second round of the upgrade as your device might, like mine, just blink on and off for a while trying to flash what it thinks it finds is already flashed but what just gives an error!
http://www.androidtablets.net/forum...uawei-ideos-s7-official-firmware-2-2-2-a.html Links to 2.2.2 Brazil which is the best for the 101 apparently, some tests done in that post on which rom work best for which model.
Now,
REMOVE YOUR SDCARD IF ANY! AND REBOOT THE DEVICE ! THIS HACK RELIES HEAVILY ON HIGH STRANGENESS AND SPOOKY ACTION AT A DISTANCE!
Originally i though modifying an ol doroot.sh script to using the psneuter exploit from SuperOneClick i would manage to root the device. Not without some fuzz, no. Firstly i discovered "cp" and many basic fileutils im used to in the world of *nix was missing from the 2.2.2 image kindly provided by Huawei ( The Norwegian Telenor image i might add that the camera on a model 101 will not work with!) so i found an easier way! push push push!
Here's what i did, for convenience ill try making it a script, but be prepared to copy these commands manually instead! For windows simply remove the ./ and add .exe .
Now, to make this work, simply get SuperOneClick from http://shortfuse.org/?page_id=2 and unzip, i used the adb from the google android sdk, but i guess the adb binary that comes with SOC is a simpler route if your just in for a quick root fix. Simply rename the appropriate adb for your system and use this method.
The simplest thing to do i guess is to copy Exploits/psneuter or gingerbreak to the ADB folder (in SuperOneClick's folder) and go on from there, also copy su-v3 (rename it to su) and Superuser.apk from "Root/" to the folder (ADB), or if you choose to, rewrite this "script" with the appropriate paths. Im unsure if the following script will work in every case, so you might want to do it manually, but most should get the drift, if you are not comfortable with this procedure you probably have no business or reason rooting the device in the first place. Disclaimer; if this bricks your device don't blame me, this is a fact of "it worked for me", your results may differ.
Be sure to set your USB mode to "Developer" mode
AND BE ROOT ON YOUR MACHINE!
Code:
#/bin/bash
echo "The BackAsswardsRootScript!\n\n"
echo "Lets start the adb server.\n\n"
./adb kill-server
./adb start-server
echo "Pushing the exploit psneuter onto the device.\n\n"

./adb push busybox /data/local/tmp/busybox
./adb shell "chmod 4755 /data/local/tmp/busybox"
echo "Now we run the root exploit.\n\n"
./adb shell "./data/local/tmp/psneuter"
echo "We should be root now, making sure.\n\n"
./adb root

Rooting S7 using Gingerbreak
Just too inform you. I've just succesfully rooted the Indonesian 2.2.2 running on a
S7-105 using Chainfire's Gingerbreak v1.2.
Cool, theres a gingerbreak exploit in the superoneclick package also, i tried that after i though psneuter didnt work, just a matter of replacing psneuter with gingerbreak. Did you use this method though or did you find some other way?
I didn't change or replace anything. My terminal skills are not on a level to have the guts anyway.
I simply updated from S7V100R001C43B010 to S7v100R001C98B021.
Then ran the Gingerbreak 1.2 exploit.
Interesting, yeah the gingerbreak exploit will work, when i wrote the fist post i used the gingerbreak exploit instead of the psneuter one thinking psneuter didnt work, turns out it did though and i went back to that one as its designed for 2.2.2, didnt know of this wrapper though, thanks!
Just granted su superuser permissions on the Australian s7
Great work. Just noticed a missing final quotation mark:

Great! Thanks! Ops, yeah missed that, fixed now, thank you for pointing that out. I haven't spent much more time on this. the pad has pretty much been untouched since i moved house. I would like to make this easier for less technical inclined here but its just a matter of replacing ./adb with adb.exe if your on windows. Besides, i don't want to be at fault for bricking someone. And maybe i could write some simple application for installing Gnu/Linux as well, ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1109730 ) but that will have to wait until someone bribes me or hits me over the head i guess.

I was able to get mine rooted by using the kernel from Galaxy Cubed 3 ROM. Downloaded the whole ROM and flashed only the kernel in heimdall. Then I used adb to push the correct files to the system and fixed permissions and rebooted. Worked great.
UPDATE:
If people want to know the adb commands I used, here they are:
adb push busybox /data/local/tmp/.
adb shell "chmod 755 /data/local/tmp/busybox"
adb shell "/data/local/tmp/busybox mount -o remount,rw /system"
adb shell "dd if=/data/local/tmp/busybox of=/system/xbin/busybox"
adb shell "chown root.shell /system/xbin/busybox"
adb shell "chmod 04755 /system/xbin/busybox"
adb shell "/system/xbin/busybox --install -s /system/xbin"
adb shell "rm -r /data/local/tmp/busybox"
adb push su /system/bin/su
adb shell "chown root.shell /system/bin/su"
adb shell "chmod 06755 /system/bin/su"
adb shell "rm /system/xbin/su"
adb shell "ln -s /system/bin/su /system/xbin/su"
adb push Superuser.apk /system/app/.
adb shell "cd /data/local/tmp/; rm *"
You can copy and paste these commands to a bat file and run it in a command prompt window. These were taken from a script used to root devices.
Here are links for the files you need. They are:
su
superuser.apk
busybox
They need to be placed in the same directory that you run the adb commands from.
SECOND UPDATE:
Rather than go through all this, go here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=19678785
This is dsb9938's plain stock EI04 VZW ROM that is pre-rooted. Just flash in Heimdall and you are good to go. As long as you only wipe cache and dalvik, all your apps should stay intact.

It did not work on my VZW Tab. Someone said it is because it only works on 2.3.3 and older gingerbread and we have 2.3.5.

[Q] After JB update, have partial root; only for existing approved apps [SOLVED]

So I seem to be having odd rooting issues, and I can't find anything that really explains it. Apologies that some of this might be obvious...
I rooted without any issues before the Jelly Bean update. Since then, I did the Voodoo Rootkeeper, updated to Jelly Bean, and have since restored root. Everything that had root before seems to still work, however, I can't provide new root access to any applications (it doesn't even ask), SuperUser can't update the SU binary, Root Checker reports me as not rooted, but I can adb shell and do "su" and that works....and the binary is clearly there with the su bits set. And things like ES File Explorer are clearly getting root access....just not anything new. Seems like I have "partial root". Any ideas on what I need to tweak?
thanks!
You did a good job of explaining the situation. I am in the same position.
Here, more information, below. Again, looks like I have su available (/system/sbin/su), but nothing seems to work...superuser is not granting root....strange. Thoughts?

FIXED!
I fixed it. Not sure if this was the best way or not, but anyway, I went to this site, and downloaded the latest copy of Superuser.apk and su (extracted from the Superuser-3.1.3-arm-signed.zip , the ARM version of course). I then pushed both those files (su and the apk) into /data/local/tmp. I then when into adb shell, did su, then REMOVED my existing su (actually moved it to su-backup), then copied the su to /system/bin/su and the apk to /system/app/Superuser.apk, chmoded the permisssions correctly (644 for the apk, 06755 for su), and voila! Everything started working again.

Nice,
I am going to try using SU and Superuser.apk from that site and rooting JB with those files replaced in motofail2go run.bat Think I'd still have to change permissions that way?
Not sure....I don't think so. Good luck!

I then when into adb shell, did su, then REMOVED my existing su (actually moved it to su-backup), then copied the su to /system/bin/su and the apk to /system/app/Superuser.apk, chmoded the permisssions correctly (644 for the apk, 06755 for su), and voila! Everything started working again.

Any chance you could provide step-by-step details starting from where you pushed the files into data/local/temp?
I'm not a total novice with android but rooting is something I prefer to be very careful with! Sorry to bug you.
I had the same issue. Wiping Cache, Factory Reset, and re-root with JB exploits solved it.
I'll try to recreate my steps, but since I am doing it from memory, and not re-doing, I might have missed something. I don't think so though.
Go to http://androidsu.com/superuser/ and download Superuser-3.1.3-arm-signed.zip
Open up that file, and copy out the files Superuser.apk and su, put them somewhere on your desktop, say c:\tmp
cd c:\tmp
adb push Superuser.apk /data/local/tmp
adb push su /data/local/tmp
adb shell
su
(you should have the # prompt at this point...if you don't, you don't have "half-root" like I did, and this won't work.)
cd /system/bin
mv su su-backup
cp /data/local/tmp/su .
chmod 06755 su
cd /system/app
cp /data/local/tmp/Superuser.apk .
chmod 644 Superuser.apk
Hopefully that should do it. I don't remember if I needed to reboot after this. Good luck!

This fixed the "half-root" on my Razr Maxx HD, thanks!
