[WORKING] ROOT for all Eris'

Big thanks to tereg for the toolkit and the guys who rooted the EVO with a file write/chmod race condition exploit that gave me the idea for this.
jcase noticed that a race isn't actually necessary to exploit the chmod 777 on the file I've been working with, simplifying the script alot.
I used the files from the adb development pack that Tereg put together. Download them here. You don't need them for this root process as long as you have a working adb install.
THE SCRIPTS HAVE BEEN UPDATED MANY TIMES! Please be sure to re-download the new hack-v4.zip before you start if you a returning root seeker.
You will need adb access. Install the android sdk for your platform (macos, windows, linux) get it for your OS here.
If you don't know how to install the sdk, search xda, there are a ton of howtos for that.
Also, if you want to root and can't get your computer to talk to the phone or have some other weird computer related issue you can now try this method, which doesn't require a computer at all!
Unzip hack-v4.zip to somewhere, copy/move the files into your adb-sdk/tools directory/folder.
*updated files to hack-v4.zip @ 7-14-2010 10:43AM Central*
Files to download:
hack-v4.zip
A ROM file, I suggest EvilEris if you want to flash the whole phone OR EngTools.zip If you just want to be root. (Thanks jcase!)
Android SDK (skip if you have a working adb)
Instructions for linux/OSX. - Alternate instructions specifically for MAC
Have adb in your path, or move the files contained in hack-v4.zip into your sdk/tools directory so your pushes will work properly.
FOR ALL OS's Make sure your phone has Applications->Development->USB Debugging turned on.
Do NOT have your phone in Disk Drive Mode, have it in Charge Only.
Open a terminal window in your /tools/ directory. Type this at the prompt.
Code:
sh runinlinuxfromtools.sh
This will take a few minutes, follow the instructions on your screen.
If you get adb: command not found, try
Code:
sh runinlinuxadb.sh
Some people get a permission denied error. Try
Code:
chmod +x ./runinlinuxfromtools.sh
./runinlinuxfromtools.sh
Instructions for windows (thanks tereg!)
Download the hack.zip file and extract it to the desktop. So, you have a folder on the desktop called hack. I would recommend moving or copying those files (EDIT: that are contained in the hack folder) to the C:\android-sdk-windows\tools folder. Why? Because the script runs "adb ____" commands, and unless you've set up adb to be able to run anywhere within the command prompt, the script won't run. So, it will universally work if the files in the hack folder are placed in C:\android-sdk-windows\tools
So, open a command prompt by pressing WindowsKey+R, or going to Start-Run (in WinXP) and typing
Code:
cmd
in the text box there and press OK
If you are in Windows Vista/Windows 7, go to the Start Menu, then type in
Code:
cmd
in the search bar in the lower right-hand corner of the start menu and press enter, and locate Command Prompt in the search results, or go to Start -> All Programs -> Accessories -> Command Prompt
Type
Code:
cd C:\android-sdk-windows\tools
and press enter
Now, I recommend pushing the ROM you want to flash to the SD card now. So, if you download EvilEris3.0 for instance, make sure you download it to the C:\android-sdk-windows\tools folder, and then execute
Code:
adb push EvilEris3.0.zip /sdcard
Replace EvilEris3.0.zip with the name of the .zip file that you choose to download.
Then, type
Code:
runindos.bat
to execute the script.
You might have to run it 2 or 3 times for it to work. If it fails, just reboot the phone normally, then run
Code:
runindos.bat
again once the phone is booted back up and you're ready.
----------(Thanks again tereg!)
If your device reboots into a new screen with options on it, you now have root in recovery mode. At this point you will be flashing your Eris's brains, so YOUR PHONE WILL BE BLANK AFTER LOADING A NEW ROM! All of your apps/numbers will be gone from the phone.
I suggest a nand backup first.
Download and copy one of these ROM's to your sdcard as update.zip and flash it with flash zip from sdcard by selecting "Install zip from sdcard".
The first boot after loading a new ROM takes quite a while to show any activity to the screen. Give it a good 5 minutes before you start wondering if it's ever going to come back.
Eris ROMS
More things you can now do.
Replace that hateful HBOOT 1.49, and get a rooted STOCK phone.
Donate of you luv me!
-----------------
And some love for tereg! Donate a bit to him too, if you're feeling generous.

Dude, seriously. Put up a donate button. I would donate for your effort. This is absolutely amazing.

I will suck yo thang if this works...brb

If this is confirmed I'm returning my eris with the ****ty trackball and rooting a new one >_>

I love you so much for running with our small shot

when doing
cat > data/local/testfile
I get:
System cannot find the path specified

Oh and btw
This should work on ANY HTC Android 2.1 phone.

nope, that was just how i typed it out in the post, still not working.

How are we supposed to "run" the following?

reboot recovery
I keep getting "error opening /sdcard/recovery.img: No such file or directory", but I'm also not really sure if I'm missing something. I type it in EXACTLY as you put it, right?

You skipped the step where you do an adb shell.
You should be at the $ prompt on your phone for this.

ahem... I get permission error when I tree to reboot **epic sadface**
I"M DUMB I HAVE TO LEAVE SHELL FIRST

Put run 'adb shell' in the instructions before 'then do this'. Not everyone is going to pick up on that.

Will buying an unlock code from one of eBay unlockers work or not?
I feel like I bought a brick here. lol
Anyways, any input would be greatly appreciated. I'm not looking to do anything else to it other than unlock and use it for now. While I'm fairly competent with doing this tech-stuff, the Android stuff is a step above for me, so I wanna take my time to learn this all.
It's my first smartphone after using a Nokia 6265i for the past 5 years.

So for me this phone is a treat as is, if only I can get it unlocked.
Thanks for your help and input.

It's because adb can't get to the file without root. Happened to me too. I just manually copied the nv_data.bin over to my computer using the standard usb mass storage and ran sgux on it.
Code:
C:\androidsdk\tools>adb shell
/ $su
#cp /efs/nv_data.bin /sdcard
#exit
#exit
then mount the usb storage, copy over the nv_data.bin to the folder with sgux.exe in it (i put mine in c:\androidsdk), then:
Code:
C:\androidsdk>sgux nv_data.bin
and with any luck you'll have it.

Okay, I understand a bit. but I'm not sure what all the coding is all about and how/what to do. You copied nv_data.bin from your phone to a location on the computer?
I set my Vibrant to mass storage and while it's not showing on MyComputer anywhere, the only thing that pops up is the microSD card with the movie on it.

Correct... instead of androidsdk it would be wherever you saved it..

Having one hell of a time accessing my phone via the computer.
It's connected, but no icon to click open or anything of the sort (inside MyComputer)
Ok, this is what I have on my screen now.
No EFS folder, no nv_data.bin, anywhere in the folders.

You need to use root explorer or adb(maybe astro) for access to your internal system directories. Just pull the file using adb like chui mentioned. If you aren't familiar with adb then I suggest you read up in the Vibrant bible.

Wanna suggest a link to this almighty Vibrant Bible?

Well I just looked through it and there doesn't seem to be a thread specifically about adb file system actions.
Just open a command prompt and "cd" to your android sdk tools folder.
example: cd c:\sdk\tools
type:
adb shell
su
cp /efs/nv_data.bin /sdcard
exit
adb pull /sdcard/nv_data.bin /nv_data
that should get nv_data.bin into your tools folder under the folder nv_data. then just move the nv_data.bin into the sgux.exe folder

I'll try this now, thanks Iral.

Trying to type what you put, I can't remember for the life of me how to enter multiple command lines in command prompt. Hitting ENTER executes the first line. But I'm supposed to type all that out correct?

One line at a time

The screenshot you've taken when you executed adb, go to the same folder (tools) and execute dir in MS-DOS window.
Need to see if adb.exe is there.

I hope this is the one you mean.
I reinstalled SDK into c:\androidsdk and this was found in the \platform-tools folder

Well, it works for my Arc nice and perfectly

cool, finally I rooted my xperia ARC
these are very simple steps(copied from different threads):
1. Install the attached apk: Gingerbreak-v1.00
after installing most people getting this error - "could not extract assets".
TO OVERCOME THIS, just copy the attached ADB.zip and extract it on your laptop (windows)
say at
E:\mobile_Xperia\ADB
goto above path in your cmd promt and types these lines (your phone should be connected to laptop in debugging mode)
E:\mobile_Xperia\ADB>adb shell rmdir /data/local/tmp
E:\mobile_Xperia\ADB>adb shell mkdir /data/local/tmp
NOW JUST INSTALL THE apk file again and click on ROOT

Extract the ADB.zip into any folder, then inside that folder shift + right click and select Open command window here. In the command window enter: adb shell rm -r /data/local/tmp/* and then restart the gingerbreak app.

Well, the zip wont work for OSX since its a windows executable You should try to get adb to work on your system (Im sure there are lots of guides), or just wait for the next release of the app.

[Tutorial]How To -ADB- Logcat & Basic [NEW OR NOOB]

Well this my first own post on General Section
I am sharing how to use the (ADB)
which seem many of us should have some basic on it
(FASTBOOT) will be added later on.
-SIMPLE & EASY-
Is a proper way to tell what wrong's and bug you encountered by a log
Requirement :
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
-Adb Driver for Xperia X8 or This Universal_Naked_Driver
-Adb files (Repacked for you)
-Android Version 1.6-4.1.1
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Set Up
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Install the Driver For Adb for your device (Example :X8)
Unpack the Adb Files To A Folder (Named Whatever you like Example: Adb) on local disk C: (Recommend)
Turn on USB debugging on your phone: Settings>Applications>Development>USB Debugging
Go to Start Menu and Search for CMD (Command Promt) (Run as adminstrator)
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Prompt CMD with the location you extracted the ADB Files (Mine at C:/adb)
Therefore key in this
Code:
cd c:/adb
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Check Connected Device & Enable the Adb Server
Code:
adb devices
Wait for few seconds till the server is up and if you connection is working
Should show that the device name is there
If connection is offline should check whether build.prop has this line :
Code:
persist.sys.usb.config=mass_storage,adb
Add this line to build.prop if you need to do so
ADB Logcat
When able to have adb connection between device then you
can now do a pretty simple logcat
Code:
adb logcat > logcatfilename.txt
Replace "logcatfilename" with anything you like and shall log all over the text file
Can then stop logging just pressing Ctrl+C
Enable Access to System
If Encountered that your system not mounted
Code:
adb remount
If some still keeping error then need to boot cwm to adb
ADB Shell
Adb Shell Is A Little Advance So No Really Gonna Cover Up Here
Prompted by
Code:
adb shell
Checking Memory/Swap Progress
Code:
free
You can remove app/files by
Code:
rm -r /filelocation/filename.format
Replace " /filelocation/filename.format" with anything you want to remove such as latimime.apk so you replace with /system/app/latimime.apk
Adb Pull
Now You Should Know To Command using CMD
To Pull
Code:
adb pull /system/app/browser.apk
Replace "l/system/app/browser.apk" with location and file name you want to pull
Adb Push
Now You Should Know To Command using CMD
To Pull
Code:
adb push browser.apk /system/app
Replace " browser.apk /system/app" with file name(On the same folder of the adb files) & location you want to push that file into.
Adb Install
Should be same as pushing method but normally to data folder
Code:
adb install angrybird.apk /data/app
Replace "angrybird.apk /data/app" with file name(On the same folder of the adb files) & location you want to install into
Final :
I hope this Tutorial Is Clear Enough For Other's member which want to
learn adb.You can use this tutorial & i know there many more better adb tutorial
but i am just showing basic knowledge logcat and adb command that can easier
both developers and user.Any Comment & Suggestion can reply below.
I will fix/add if needed.Sorry for bad english & grammar

[TOOL][LINUX] Ezy-Adb - Shell script for the quick install and use of adb on Linux

I made this tool to make adb commands quicker and easier to carry out, as I use adb a fair bit. It's similar to this one but I wanted to include some different functions and put more focus on the hassle free installation of adb on various Linux distributions.
It's a simple script that has the most useful adb commands in a menu format. I also added an adb installation menu which automatically detects what system you have and installs the correct package and it's dependencies. Not every system is supported yet but I'll add more in time.
Code:
[I]I am not responsible for any damages caused by your use of this tool.
Please do some research if you are unsure of anything.[/I]
Features:
Installs adb and configures udev rules.
supports ubuntu, debian, mint, suse, redhat, fedora, centos, elementaryOS, Mageia
Adb over network
Manages files into organised directories
Reboot menu
Pull, push, sideload, shell
Logcats and system dumps
Install and uninstall apps
Unlock bootloaders
Remotely take screenshots and create screen recordings
Full adb backup and restore
More to come

I made this tool to make adb commands quicker and easier to carry out, as I use adb a fair bit. It's similar to this one but I wanted to include some different functions and put more focus on the hassle free installation of adb on various Linux distros.
It's a simple script that has the most useful commands in a menu format. I also added an adb installation command which automatically detects what system you have and installs the correct package and it's dependencies. Not every system is supported yet so i'll add more based on feedback.
Features:
Installs adb and configures udev rules.
supports ubuntu, debian, mint, suse, redhat, fedora, centos
Manages files into organised directories
Reboot menu
Pull, push, sideload, shell
Logcats and dump files
Install apk's
Unlock bootloaders
Remotely take screenshots and create screen recordings
Full adb backup and restore
More to come
Instructions:
Extract file anywhere in your home directory
cd to the same directory as ezy-adb.sh
Open a terminal and change permissions with this command:
Code:
$ chmod 755 ezy-adb.sh
Run the script with:
Code:
$ ./ezy-adb.sh
Download Link
ezy-adb.sh.tar.gz
Thanks to @raziel23x. I learned a lot from studying his script.
Enjoy

good job man
in this way it will not be necessary to rename screenshots
adb shell screencap -p | perl -pe 's/\x0D\x0A/\x0A/g' > ~/EZY_ADB/ScreenShots/$(date '+%Y%m%d%H%M%S').png
