This work for non-leakers only right?

but you must understand all the questions you have can be answered by reading on here or google search
everyone is tired of answering the same question of the newbies and trust me i have been flamed
also check out the forum rules about posting questions certain questions go in certain places if you want quick answers....all love bro i want to see you rooted and happy
if you have root
su is Super User access
you need to get the su.apk go here and take a look http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=682828
su allows certain apps to do rooted things including overclocking
btw you will alos new the setcpu app to overclock go here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=505419

They really do get upset in here when you don't know as much as they do.
Let me help...
Run to this thread and read up:
forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=724741
There is an automated script that will help you with the root. Many users, including myself had to run it a couple of times before it took - so if it doesn't go off the first time, don't lose faith, just try again.
As for whether or not it wipes, that's moot - You should, after you run the hack flash a custom rom - this will wipe your data. Any ROM you like from the dev forum will do. I am using Froyo v21. But you can certainly try any one you like. As for non-Froyo roms, I like the Cyannogen ELB builds. But again it is your preference that matters.
To flash the new rom, you need to boot into recovery mode. If you run the script from the above thread, it will boot you into recovery mode. If you use the instructions in this thread, type "adb reboot recovery" at your command prompt immediately after you are done. Once there, you can do the following:
-Do a NAND backup
-Put your phone into USB SD mode and copy over your ROM of choice to the root of your SD card.
-Do a factory wipe and a dalvik cache wipe
-flash your new rom
When you flash the new rom, depending on which one you do, you should have su or root. You can then download and install apps that require root.
Remember, you should back-up your data before you try to do anything to your phone. It's just a good idea.
If you have any ROM specific issues, try looking through that ROM's thread for answers. Also, if you have any other questions about how to do anything, the first sticky thread in this forum is a great collection of how-tos. You can also PM Me and I will be happy to help.
Don't forget that a lot of hard work went into rooting leak. Do like many of us have and donate to those responsible.

i understand what your saying about asking here. but seriously, i searched and it seems like every thread says the same thing. so i jump all over the place and end up going in circles. i did my sons moto droid yesterday pretty easily. he now has root and a smoking droid w/o disturbing anything else. so, sorry, but it is tough. thanks for your reply. i got this particular thread from android forums and it looked like the one. a new one at that. but i spent several hours going around in circles. googling and everything. i am a noob with linux based phones. yes. but i'm very capable and dont need baby steps. just need some straight answers. so sorry. i will check your links. thanks for your reply

Works just as good as the automated method. Good deal.

Everyone, if you don't want to do a wipe and install a custom ROM, you can just flash EngTools.zip, courtesy of jcase, and it will add su and superuser.apk without disturbing your existing data (apps, settings, etc).

HowTo: Flash Any Ruu

First off, as always, if this causes any damage, or loss of anykind anyhow anyway I am not at fault, don't blame me.
So you rooted? But no longer want root? or want to downgrade to 1.5 with an ruu? or want to flash one of the PB00IMG like the root one with an engineering bootloader?
Tonight I made another custom misc.img, it is attached to this post. You will also need flash_image which can be found here. http://www.multiupload.com/KS2JCAMGBH
Run these commands as root:
Code:
adb push flash_image /data/local/flash_image
adb push misc.img /data/local/misc.img
adb shell chmod 777 /data/local/flash_image
adb shell /data/local/flash_image misc misc.img
Now you can flash any known (to me) ruu or PB00IMG

Oh my bad thought you said while back it had a bad radio and you got a Droid. I guess no more assuming lol
The hits keep on coming!
I suppose this should work equally well for PB00IMG.ZIP installs (from the corresponding RUUs), yes?
This should make life easier for "unrooters"; now if there just some way to convince them that there is really only 1 reason to unroot a phone

my only reason for unrooting is sending my phone back ......which i will be doing this weekend..... refurb is suppose to be here today

It did, the one I used. It was the only non leak one I had. Puit kinks in everything.
When I try it it just keeps saying push: not found.
The commands are the same thing for OSX, right? Drag tools to Terminal and then just copy and paste those lines of commands?

do we put the two files into the SDK/Tools folder? or are we putting them on the SD card and running these commands while the phone is in recovery? Sorry I'm a little new to this.

Hey I am not understanding what to do either. I have a rooted eris that the screen started flaking out so i Have to send it back.
I rooted alright and I have a basic understanding of the recovery stuff. But could you guys either tell me what to do from scratch on this one or point me in the right direction.
I've been searching the forum for 2 weeks trying to learn how. My kids are teasing me now cuz all I do at home try to learn about this stuff. Well anyway I would appreciate some help.
I have just opened a can of worms
Wow!!! I truly did not realize the full extent of what yous guys are doing on this website. You are smart people!!! hahahaha I opened a can of worms and can't get it shut again.
You guys are the ones writing and developing all kinds of programs.
i hope you guys arent taking this the wrong way!!!
I honestly didnt realize till I researched and found the HTC Developers center.
I have no buisness trying to do any of this stuff!
If some can help me out I would appreciate it!!!!!!

Bricked Phone?

Ok I got A Problem. Went to flash a new rom after backing my current one up with rom manager everything went fine till I went to flash it and now it says
E: Failure at line 7 symlink dumpstate SYSTEM:bin/dumpcrash
I dont have a working phone. Tried several different roms and nothing.
what do I need to do??
can u boot in to recovery mode " vol up + power button " ? and dont use Clockworkmod recovery as its known to have issues with the eris.
use the other recovery.
Thanks T.A.
Yes I can Boot into recovery thats it.
How do I go about Flashing a New Recovery Manager
Topaz is right.... Amon_RA FTW !
How do I install that now though. I have been searching through forums looking cant find a step by step
Forgot to say I was a Leaker before they found the method.
would this work

this gives you the S-OFF bootloader and Amon_RA for recovery
you might wait to see if others weight in on the best approach here.
Already turned S-OFF the only reason I have clock work is because my noobie ass used rom manager for convience

try this in fastboot ( SEND + POWER )
not sure u can push files into /data/local/
hopefully it will work and if not and all fails.
put a rom on sd card and boot into recovery and hopefully clockworkmod recovery will flash it.
Yep, really have no idea what to do. I run the commands in what you gave me and the stupid thing says file its there when i use root command to navigate there its right there. idk whats going on.

help me get my vibrant to stock

I previously received my vibrant rooted and using this method on the thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=734475 and i used the unrooted file on page two. everything worked great but i still have root. I have the superuser permission show up on my app list, i also tested to see if i have root by installing a root only app, and it worked. so can anybody help get to stock?
Did you use the odin flash? That will put the phone back to 100% stock. Sounds like you used the nandroid, it might not remove extra stuff like the root files.

I think the complaint is that it's the same thread you would have gotten the nandroid image from. No, odin is not more dangerous, so long as you are flashing STOCK roms. Don't go flashing euro stuff with it, and you'll be fine. There are step by step directions in that thread, follow them and you'll be back to stock in no time.

You dont need to flash, just remove the following with Terminal Emulator or file manager of your choice:
/system/app/Superuser.apk
/system/xbin/busybox
/system/bin/su
Reboot and you will no longer have root access.

HOW TO UN-ROOT *ie, sending your phone in for warranty work
The following code can be keyed in Terminal Emulator (could also be done in ADB or deleting the files using Root Explorer). If you do use Terminal, change the keyboard to the stock Android KB prior to opening Terminal. Apparently the backspace on swype does not work in Terminal. Each line should be entered separately. bahnburner gave the instructions in this thread, which you should review first.

Im sure youve tried stuff -- did you try clearing superuser cache -- refresh the slate and confirmed you did not miss the SU popup? just be sure the screen is on and look for it like 2 seconds after you hit enter after "adb shell"

The cyanogenmod update guide assumes that you have a rom with tattoo-hack loaded, and the path to su is not set.
Look in this post:

in the sections
1.3 Tools you need
1.5 The manual way (recommended by the author)
2.3 How to flash/tools needed
Do the steps in 1.5, use the rom image and recovery from cyanogenmods wiki, in 2.3, do the second line, for flashing recovery. After that you can flash cyanogenMod from the recovery menu (Accessed by booting to recovery by holding home+power)

Thanks in advance, although i haven't tried it already.
I'll try it maybe on Wednesday..
Hope to flash the CyanogenMod 7.0.0-RC1.7003 2.3.3 Gingerbread..
More powers to all of you guys, keep up the good work!

[Q] EVGA Tegra Note 7 root?

EDIT:
Go here to root your Tegra Note 7: https://github.com/linux-shield/shield-root/blob/master/README.md (thanks to CampGareth for finding the link).
I have tested this, it works with no bloatware, only installs SuperSu.
---------
Hey guys, I got my new Tegra Note 7 last night and I've been trying to get it rooted, but I keep running into trouble.
First of all, I DO NOT want to use some shady Chinese software that installs a bunch of bloat on both my tablet and PC just to get SuperSu going, I've tried that method and had to reset the tablet to get rid of all the crap it installs (and it didn't even seem to root anyway).
Now I'm trying the manual method from here: http://pan.baidu.com/wap/link?uk=3073396937&shareid=3129426036&third=0
Which, again, is Chinese but at least I can see what it's doing since I'm issuing ADB commands, and supposedly it has worked for others on this forum.
Now, I get to step 3 on the included PDF which says to boot an insecure bootloader image with "fastboot boot tegranote_insecure_boot.img", I do this and the tablet screen flashes a few times and reboots to android.
I get to the next step which says to open an adb shell, and do "/sbin/rootsh +p" to get a temp root shell, and this is where I get stuck. Instead of getting a root shell I get the message "/system/bin/sh: /sbin/rootsh: not found". Does anyone have suggestions?
By the way we really need a Tegra Note 7 subforum here at XDA, if the mods could add it that would be great.

I would recommend the following procedure:
1. Download the root_tool_v2.zip attached to this post
2. Unzip the contents the root_tool_v2.zip to a directory
3. Run the following commands from your ADB and Fastboot directory:
Code:
adb reboot bootloader
fastboot boot tegranote_insecure_v2.img
4. Once your device finishes booting the insecure boot.img (Your device's screen will blink several times and then boot into Android) run the following commands:
Code:
adb shell
mount -o remount,rw /dev/block/mmcblk0p5 /system
exit
adb push su /system/xbin/su
adb push Superuser.apk /system/app/Superuser.apk
adb shell
chmod 6755 /system/xbin/su
chmod 644 /system/app/Superuser.apk
mount -o remount,ro /dev/block/mmcblk0p5 /system
exit
adb reboot
5. You should now have Superuser installed and have root access.
What I did was I modified the boot.img provided to be insecure and use an insecure adbd binary to allow a root shell when booted from which can then be used to setup Superuser and su binary access. Let me know how this goes for you and if you have any questions .
Wow, thanks for the help! Unfortunately your attachment seems to be corrupt, I can't decompress the archive. I'm using 7-zip btw. The forum says your attachment is 7.19MB but when downloaded it's only 160KB.
If you can re-upload it I will give it a go.
a reup of the file would be much appreciated! :good:
PS
i have a batch file to expedite the process.

Re-uploaded the file for you guys let me know how it goes for you .
Awesome your new package downloaded fine.
However I'm still not getting root, I got to step 4 and when I open an adb shell I don't have permissions to do the next command.
The exact error message:
[email protected]:/ mount -o remount,rw /dev/block/mmcblk0p5 /system
mount -o remount,rw /dev/block/mmcblk0p5 /system
mount: Operation not permitted
So I guess the insecure boot image didn't work right. I should mention that I am using the latest Tegra Note firmware, I don't know if that makes a difference though. Any ideas?
Thanks for your help so far.
do you guys have a copy of the drivers for the tablet? mine only seems to work for storage.
update: got drivers working.

I used Universal Naked Driver 0.73, I just manually installed the driver for the Nvidia Shield, thinking it would work, and it does!
Does shimp208's root image work for you, dergezero?

no, it just reboots. neither is working. im going to see if any one can give us a dump of their img that already works to be rooted. i tried that Chinese method and its really annoying and i dont get root on any computer i try it on.
Hey guys I am in the process of creating a new boot image that uses a different method for gaining root access and will upload that once I finish it.

I agree, with the amount of malware that is in the chinese root tools, it makes me nervous to use the one the OP posted.

I wonder if someone would be able to port Clockworkmod Recovery to the TN7 eventually. The bootloader on this device is factory unlocked so it should be simple enough. Unfortunately I'm not a good enough programmer to get this done.
If we had Clockworkmod then rooting would be as easy as flashing the SuperSU .zip from the SD.
I have updated my original post with the rooting instructions to include a new insecure boot method follow the same instructions as before just use the new boot.img I uploaded to that post. Credit to teknoraver for the insecure adbd binary.

I tried your V2 image, still getting permission errors when doing "mount -o remount,rw /dev/block/mmcblk0p5 /system", what am I doing wrong?

When you boot the image and then type ADB shell do you get a root shell ([email protected]:/ #) or just a regular shell ([email protected]:/ $)?
Amazing
Nice to see you working on a different method of root... I am sorry to those who feel that the method I posted is getting negative reviews just wanted to throw something out there for people... however, I do feel much better with Shrimp208 working on a better root method I really wish we could get a forum going..
I used the Chinese root tool and all seems fine on my Tegra note

Just a regular shell with $. Doesn't look like I get temp root permissions after running the tegranote_insecure_v2.img.
If it matters, I'm on the latest Stock ROM (4.2.2/JDQ39.13155_268.1942) and I'm using Universal Naked Driver 0.73 for the Shield, which works with this device. Maybe I need to use a different driver?

yeah it works but you dont really know what was installed on ur phone or on your pc. 3 apps are installed on your phone and a few reg changes on ur pc can be detrimental. and its all bloatware
