{Behold 2 }[How-to] Root for App's working with Persistent root

First off, I want to say thanks to Kam187 & the Creators of asroot
Okay, Below is the Method I used for getting Root working for my app's.
Even though Shell is running as Root, any Call's made to su trigger's the white List Superuser.apk, So don't think your phone is wide open. G1's & MT3G Setup's are the same regard sh.
I'm not sure is the apk is counted as warez or not, if so I hope a Mod will remove the link to the Apk or let me know to Remove it...
Okay, File's Need to complete the Task is....
Try3 Placed in C:\SDK\tools> found here > File's attached below
SU for /system/bin found here > File's attached below
Superuser app control for our App's found Here > File's attached below
Next, Mount the SDCARD and place the SU file in the root of the sdcard like so ( /sdcard ). This is Important!!!
From here we do the Following.. ( Kam187 script the I edited ).
adb push try3 /data/local
adb shell chmod 0755 /data/local/try3
adb shell
/data/local/try3 /system/bin/sh
mount -o rw,remount /dev/st9 /system
chmod 04755 /system/bin/sh
cat /sdcard/su > /system/bin/su1
cat /sdcard/su > /system/bin/su
chmod 04755 /system/bin/su
su
cat /system/bin/playlogo > /system/bin/playlogo_real
/system/bin/chmod 0755 /system/bin/playlogo_real
echo "#!/system/bin/sh
/data/local/try3 /system/bin/sh
mount -o rw,remount /dev/st9 /system
chmod 04755 /system/bin/sh
cat /system/bin/su1 > /system/bin/su
chmod 04755 /system/bin/su
/system/bin/playlogo_real" > /system/bin/playlogo

Once Done, place the Superuser.apk in your SDK tools Directory.
Mine happens to look like this
C:\SDK\tools>
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Once you have that Copied over, Open a Command prompt and CD to your sdk\tools directory and type the following.
adb install Superuser.apk
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Once done, do a reboot of the Phone, Once boot up is complete open a Command Prompt ( or app that needs Root ).
For Command Prompt, type:
adb shell
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
su
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
If done correctly you will now see the deny or allow prompt on the Phone, or just open any app that needs root & you will see the same window.

[Q] Root 2.2 318 without ADBshell

Hi,
a pin of my USB connector is broken so I cannot get a USB data connection to a PC (but charging still works ...).
How can I root the official 318 build of froyo ? More specifically, in the new build, there doesn't seem to be any mounted filesystem on which one can copy RATC to run it.
Any hint welcome.

Have you already tried superoneclick, androot, or z4root? If so, then maybe try the below.
I don't know if this will work but you can try fard's instructions to root manually and use "Terminal Emulator" from Market instead of ADB SHELL, but i don't know what will happen when you run rageinthecage~ You will need to change the instruction a bit for your case.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=844966&highlight=rageagainstthecage
Instructions:
1. Copy all the needed files (from fards thread) into the SDCARD.
2. run Terminal Emulator
3. cd /sdcard/
4. busybox cp rageagainstthecage-arm5.bin /data/local/tmp/rageagainstthecage
5. busybox cp Superuser.apk /data/local/tmp/Superuser.apk
6. busybox cp su /data/local/tmp/su
7. busybox cp busybox /data/local/tmp/busybox
8. chmod 700 /data/local/tmp/rageagainstthecage
9. chmod 700 /data/local/tmp/busybox
10. cd /data/local/tmp
11. ./rageagainstthecage
12. Reset Terminal
13. Start Terminal Emulator again
14. mount -o remount,rw -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock6 /system
15. follow the rest of the instructions below "mount -o remount,rw -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock6 /system "

Well...
yes, I have tried all that.
The main problem with the last option (i.e. CLI) is that the directory /data/local/tmp/ is not user writable (actually /data permissions are 751). So I was in search of a another directory (in an executable partition) where I can copy rageagainstthecage-arm5.bin.
Finally found it : "find" was my friend. /firstboot/sqlite/jackpal.androidterm/ is owned by my user (ID 10123)! It's the only one I found in all the filesystems!
Note that "find" is available through /system/bin/busybox_1P8P1. Btw /firstboot/sqlite/jackpal.androidterm/ seems to be linked to the terminal process.
Ran rageagainstthecage-arm5.bin various times to no avail ! It didn't give me root!

Help with installing a theme! Kinda urgent...

Im hoping to get some help to get a theme installed on my phone.
It is rooted successfully, busybox is installed successfully also.
Im trying to put the Minimal Matte theme on my phone, but no success. Actually, I managed to make my Contacts disappear...
So, I would greatly appreciate help! I don't know why the adb commands are not working that are given here:
Code:
adb shell mount -o remount,rw /dev/block/stl16 /system
adb push Contacts.apk /system/app/
adb push DialerTabActivity.apk /system/app/
adb push Settings.apk /system/app/
adb push framework-res.apk /system/framework/
adb push twframework-res.apk /system/framework/
If I try it like that, the mounting does not work cuz it says "not permitted". So then I try like this and I get this. So it is not working. How do I fix this and how do I get the theme into my phone? Thank you for help,
Here's what I tried:
Code:
c:\>adb shell
$ su
su
# mount -o remount,rw /dev/block/stl16 /system
mount -o remount,rw /dev/block/stl16 /system
# push Contacts.apk /system/app/
push Contacts.apk /system/app/
push: not found
#

Hey Polar, your commands when you're saying "push Contacts.apk /system/app/" is actually running inside the adb shell.
To do what you did, try this:
Code:
adb shell
su
mount -o remount,rw /dev/block/stl16 /system
exit
exit
adb push Contacts.apk /system/app/
Let me know if this works!
Also, if you downloaded version 1.3, you can always use the automated bat file! Or did that fail for you too?

Please note that your phone must be rooted! Your phone is rooted right?

As stated in the first post, it is rooted and busybox is installed. Now..let me try your tips. I will report back.

Hmm..still facing the "permission denied" with these commands:
Code:
c:\>adb shell
$ su
su
# mount -o remount,rw /dev/block/stl16 /system
mount -o remount,rw /dev/block/stl16 /system
# exit
exit
$ exit
exit
c:\>adb push Contacts.apk /system/app/
failed to copy 'Contacts.apk' to '/system/app//Contacts.apk': Permission denied

Okay, let's try it with a different partition used to remount. Try this out
Code:
adb kill server
adb shell mount -o remount,rw /dev/block/stl9 /system
adb push Contacts.apk /system/app/
If this doesn't work, try rebooting your phone and trying again.
I hope this works, cause I only have 21 minutes left on my laptop battery life

Tried this, but it seems I have to reboot since it did not work.
It does not let me use "adb shell mount -o remount,rw /dev/block/stl9 /system" when I try it. Only when I do the "su" first and then try that...
Now let me try again after reboot.

Still no dice...
Code:
c:\>adb shell
$ su
su
# mount -o remount,rw /dev/block/stl9 /system
mount -o remount,rw /dev/block/stl9 /system
# exit
exit
$ exit
exit
c:\>adb push Contacts.apk /system/app/
failed to copy 'Contacts.apk' to '/system/app//Contacts.apk': Permission denied

Okay here are a couple things I've noticed before in the past.
1. The phone could "successfully" be rooted, but not actually work. In this case it's best to re-root your phone. The superoneclick method works well.
2. Maybe adb is just fussing over nothing, so you could try this:
Code:
adb shell
su
mount -o remount,rw /dev/block/stl16 /system
exit
exit
adb push Contacts.apk /sdcard/
adb push /sdcard/Contacts.apk /system/app/
My primary guess though is that rooting isn't working properly.

Well, when I go and click the superuser app and all, I can see stuff happening there. Also, it has asked for permission before for adb when I first used it and I gave it. Now it appears on the list there...so it seems to be working correctly, no? And I did it with the superoneclick and it ran through it smoothly as ever. Now let me try if adb is being fussy.

Now what the heck... It pushed the Contacts.apk on the sdcard, but then this...
Code:
c:\>adb push Contacts.apk /sdcard/
3170 KB/s (3284674 bytes in 1.011s)
c:\>adb push /sdcard/Contacts.apk /system/app/
cannot stat '/sdcard/Contacts.apk': No such file or directory
And I can clearly see the file in the sdcard...

ADB is being truly fussy! Do you have root explorer? Here is my best guess for you. Move the Contacts.apk to the /system/app/ folder manually with Root Explorer, then follow this guide to give the app root permissions:
http://francoforr.blogspot.com/2010/12/cant-reinstall-apks-easy-fix.html

Have to go find Root Explorer.

Root explorer is a paid app. But maybe ES File Manager or Astro File Manager will give you root capabilities too!

I tried this to go there with root explorer, gave the right permissions..copied the file and navigated to system/apps. Hit paste..and it tells me "not enough space". What to do now? Getting a little desperate here.

There you go! That's the problem. First check this, does Contacts.apk already exist in /system/app/? If so, use these codes:
Code:
adb shell
su
mount -o remount,rw /dev/block/stl16 /system
exit
exit
adb rm /system/app/Contacts.apk
adb push Contacts.apk /system/app/
Repeat for each apk file you want to copy over.
Or alternatively you could just use root explorer, delete Contacts.apk and then move over your Contacts.apk from the sdcard. OR You can uninstall some apps and give yourself some available memory in your /system/app/ folder.
You'll need at least 15mb of free space in /system/app/

I will go try these, starting from the adb commands. If I finally get this all to work and I have your pretty theme running, we need to go have a beer you and I. For all the help you've given me today.

It's not looking good still... *sigh* Still says not enough space. I tried both adb and manual with the same results. What can I do?

If you check settings -> SD card and storage. How much memory does it say you have? If you have less then 10mb either move some apps to the sd card or uninstall some!

[guide] how to deodex stock 4.3 firmware

To make this work you must be on stock rooted firmware!!!
I made a quick guide how to root stock 4.3 firmware, and can be found here
I'm not responsible for any damage caused by using this on your phone!!!
Let's start:
1 - you need deodexed app and deodexed framework. download and unzip. will result 2 folders (app & framework) wich must be copied on your phone (int sdcard)
2 - download adb from attach and unzip
3 - enable USB debugging mode (go to settings > about phone > tap on Build Number 7 times, until a message appears saying 'You are now a Developer.') than go to settings > Developer Options and enable USB Debugging Mode
4 - go to adb folder and open a command window (hold shift and right click on mouse button / choose "open command window here")
5 - connect your phone to pc with usb cable
>>> ml6_deodexed_zipaligned_apps_framework
>>> na1_deodexed_zipaligned_apps_framework
Now enter folowing codes:
>>> adb shell
>>> su (if you are using adb shell in su for the first time, keep phone screen on. after entering "su" code, super user request prompt in phone. press allow!!!)
>>> stop (touchscreen will not be active until reboot, don't worry!)
>>> mount -o rw,remount /system/ /system/ (mounting system r/w)
>>> cp /sdcard/app/* /system/app/ (copy deodexed system applications) (this will take 3 - 5 min)
>>> rm /system/app/*.odex (remove odex files)
>>> chmod 0644 /system/app/*.apk (this fix permissions in system/app)
>>> cp /sdcard/framework/* /system/framework/ (copy deodexed framework)
>>> rm /system/framework/*.odex (remove odex files)
>>> mount -o ro,remount /system/ /system/ (mounting system r/o)
>>> reboot (your phone will reboot) (this will take a little)
Code:
adb shell
su
stop
mount -o rw,remount /system/ /system/
cp /sdcard/app/* /system/app/
rm /system/app/*.odex
chmod 0644 /system/app/*.apk
cp /sdcard/framework/* /system/framework/
rm /system/framework/*.odex
mount -o ro,remount /system/ /system/
reboot
Now you have a deodexed stock rom!!!
do not forget to press thanks

i recommend to remove all knox files from your phone.
to do this you need an application to modify your system files ( i use root explorer )
to remove knox delete this files:
system > app > ContainerAgent.apk / ContainerEventsRelayManager.apk / KLMSAgent.apk / KNOXAgent.apk /
KnoxAttestationAgent.apk / KNOXStore.apk / KNOXStub.apk
system > containers (delete entire folder)
system > etc > secure_storage > com.sec.knox.store (delete entire folder)
