I don't think it is possible without root access!
u need root for it.. it donnot move whole file if there is no root acess. rooting mean to have root acess unlocked. when phone in unroot it protected so some file do not able to move because security and policy if u do root phone get hacked and it provde root acess so u can make change in system files.and more
And why don't you try the adb method yourself, then if it fails start asking for help!
By the way, rooting your phone means being able to access your phone's root directory that contains many folders that might be interesting for developers and modders. Some of those folders are system, data, dev and firmware! With those folders in hand, we can do everything to our android device with respect to its hardware limitations.

Thats why new people seeing this forum that have no experience should first read as much as you can before continuing...This type of stuff may break your cellphone, and if you dont even know what does root and what is done for, then just dont do it, its easier and safier!
Dont take me wrong but this is an important warning.

CLOSED THREAD!!!!
Well, since I am not alone wondering about this - I have a mms fix that is supposed to be placed in the root catalog on the SD card: root/system/
The word root seem to have many meanings:
= crack a complete OS.
= place a file in the root catalog.
= use a file managing software within the phone to place a file in a root catalog that is not visible from windows.
Being a n00b I have a hard time following the discussions because of this.
Root your HTC HD2 running android
To start, I am a newbie. The terms "root" has been so difficult for me to follow. I understand why people are getting confused. Anyway, I just rooted my HD2 running froyostone w/sense v3.3. I do apologize if I don't know all the terms and correct language. I needed to change my User Agent profile (UAprof) so that I could receive MMS messages here in Japan using Softbank. BTW, I finally upgraded my Universal for a HD2 only last week. I was hoping to get the rumored HD3, but it was only a rumor so I got the HD2 instead; The HD7 doesn’t tickle me because I think WM7 is lacking. Anyway, I only learned how to installed android a couple of days ago. I originally installed darkstone froyo v1.7. I added some Softbank apps from the marketplace, set the APN, and got MMS to work without any problems. Well I decided to upgrade to my current build. The mms of course stopped working. I spent days searching the internet for how to instructions on how to fix my mms problem and all the answers had the same conclusion. I have to root your android and replace the system files. The term root has numerous meanings in this case and they are all correct. Here’s a brief description how I rooted my HD2 with android. These first steps are in no particular order. Get the new mms.apk file. Get the APN information. Download Android SDK and get the windows USB driver files. Okay, you can download from the android marketplace apps that will root your Android. What these means is that it gives you superuser access to the system files in your phone. Now as I said earlier the mms.apk is in the root of your android phone and is read-only. So you can't paste anything in the folder even as a superuser. Also, you can't browse the files in windows because they are hidden, and no you can't unhide them in system properties as far as I know. So people are telling you the files are in the root of your phone (or our case SD card) but you can't see them without special apps. Long story short, used the cmd prompt in windows to root (which in android language means gain access to the phone root file system) the Android build on the SD card, removed the old mms.apk file, and installed the new one. These instructions are easily searchable on the internet. I will be more then happy to explain the details on how to install this MMS fix with anyone interest. After exhausting myself trying to find this answer on my own, I want people to know three things. One, yes you can root you HD2 with Android build, although earlier comments are right that it is kind of already rooted but it still needs to be rooted to install certain apps. Two, an unlocked phone can send/receive MMS in Japan on Softbank. Third and final, yes there is an app that can change/mask your UAprof.
Looks like you're also a newbie to allot of things then, like sentence breaks, paragraphs etc.
eh....
i have a htc hd2
z4root say my phone is rooted,
then when i try to activate the root ecxplorer in ES file explorer, it tells me that my phone is not rooted...
confused...
so i can understand people asking how to root an hd2...
Root HD2 Android
PLease can someone explain very clearly how we can root HD2?? I'm really not that expert and need your support. BR
You're joking right? did you read this thread at least to the 3rd or 4th post before posting this question? You don't need to root the hd2, all roms for nand already have root access! Please don't post questions when the answer is there if you take a second to read.

it's a perfectly valid question and one which nobody has actually answered with any decency.
To say "your ROM is already rooted" is AN answer, but it doesn't help or inform very much at all.
What he's trying to do is simply update a file in the file system that requires 'root' access and is unable to do so using tools such as root explorer which inform him he does NOT have root access.
So perhaps the tool is incorrect?
Either way, he can't update his phone.
A large number of threads will state "you need root access to update file x, or file y", and yet despite being told he HAS root access he can't view the complete file system, let alone update some files on it.
Is it really too much to read HIS issue and try to help him, rather than glibly repeat 'you have root access'?
Download z4 root from market
What are you referring to? Not the OP or the person I replied to said anything regarding files and root access to do anything, their questions were plain as white, how can I root my hd2? So once again who are you refering to that I didn't see such detailed question regarding having issues with files that needed root access. Even the OP replied and thanked for getting an answer.

You have tried Root Explorer and it hasn't worked? Odd. Well atleast you know it's rooted as it has SU on it. Try ES File Manager. Google how to access the root files using it. You just need to flick through a few menus.
Hello
Let me start with admitting that I'm a newbie, a green one, whatever you want. I've bought my WF, my first smartphone, one week ago, and after a day a was confronted with my first limitation: I can't make access to the cisco vpn that my university uses.
I've started looking on the internet, and my only hope is a program called VPN connection, which needs root access to work. Not only the fact that I couldn't install that specific application, but also the disappointment of a discovery that the open-source OS was in fact closed, made me want to root my phone.
So I again started to do research on the internet, mostly by night, which makes me sit like a zombie in lessons, but I've learned a lot. However, there are still a few questions, which I just can't find the answer for.. So I'm hoping one of you would be so kind to help me out a bit!
- I've come to find out that rooting te WF just changes the read/write access of the root directory. So rooting an sich will not change any of the files or settings, nor the language (Dutch). Is that right, or is there an install of a complete "customized" (English) ROM which make the cellphone look brand new?
- I've done some research on how to unroot the WF (I'm having a 2 year waranty..). I know you can download the original ROMs here (shipped-roms.com/shipped/Buzz/) but first of all, I don't know which one to pick, and second, will there be a Dutch one there? Because I'm not sure that they will accept the statement that my phone is suddenly turned English.
Those are in fact the only two questions I have (for now ). Thanks in advance to help me entering a whole new world!
Erwin
The Android OS is a linux. And for such OS, there is a user account with UID 0, thats the "root" account, who got all privileges on the system.
If you root your phone, you will give your "user", thats the user that runs the android OS, the ability to gain root privileges. Those are necessary to do administrative changes to the OS, same as on a usual linux OS.
So the root user is able to mount devices in read/write and do other stuff.
Most official Updates are multilanguage and they are official updates from HTC so even on warranty issues there should be no problem with it.
Warlord711,
Thank you very much for giving me this explanation! But when you talk about "root your phone", I still have a question. If I root my phone, it will be by the method of Unrevoked (Unrevoked 3.21). I understand that the user now has root privileges, but how is that being accomplished? Do they flash the phone with a new ROM, who has "build-in" extended privileges, or do they really change the privileges of some maps on the ROM that originally came with the phone?
In extend I want to make sure about something: so if I install an original UK ROM from shipped-roms.com, I can just install it with the clockworkmod on my device and do an official update, witch will make my phone dutch again?
Thanks in advance!
Erwin
No ferther explanation? A pitty..
they replace recovery system, but how they do it, thats a question
I came across this thread hoping for reassurance about not losing warranty in case of unrooting, and I'm joining just to say that Erwin's questions are really accurate, well written and most probably helpful for any other android newbies like me.. so let's answer him/us please!

It will not change any of the settings, I myself had it in dutch too. It will be the same as you shut it down, only thing that has changed is the recovery mode (entered by holding the volume down and press the boot key)

I dont know either which one to pick, but I _DO_ know that if I pick the right one, it will include dutch, together with several others including English.

Hello,so I have heard that android M 6.0.1 has different bunch of new features including multiwindow.That was pretty cool and I checked on my phone if it was there but it was not.Then after some researching I found out that you have to edit the build.prop and change the 'user' to 'userdebug'.Since I have average knowledge on rooting as I have done it on other phones I know that editing system files can't be done without rooting or something like that.The second way was using ADB and I learnt some things about ADB,watched some vids and tried it with no success because even after getting all the drivers working ADB either it does'nt recognise my phone or it doesn't load TWRP at all and just hangs on waiting for phone(or some message like this can't remember at the moment,may confirm later).I also heard that samsung phones use some fastboot thing which I have no clue about.So can anybody tell me a way to pull the build.prop from my J5(6) using an other way which doesn't require root or help me make the ADB method work?If you want more information or something else feel free to ask.
TL;DR:I want multiwindow to work on my J5(6).It can be done by editing the build.prop 'user' line but i do not want to root my phone as its still in warranty.I failed at ADB method so im asking you for help to either show me full ADB steps to edit the build.prop or tell me another way.Thanks in advance.
then use an app, search for them in play store, there is a lot of them
