Hi all,
I've recently flashed to MoDaCo 2.2 however I'm just assuming my device got rooted at the same time - but I don't know for sure.
What's the easiest way to verify it has been rooted?
Thanks!
1. use search forum or google..
2. adb shell su
thats it
It keeps saying device not found, but works for my mytouch and G1. Any ideas?

Yup did that too...my other phones pick it up no issues.
I also get the exact same problem (i.e. Device not found) - I guess it is a hint that it isn't rooted maybe (although I assumed it was automatic with flashing MoDaCo 2.2)?
Sound like a problem with your driver. But you should have been able to connect before to install the custom rom?
Download astro file manager and you should be able to see files that you couldn't see before

OK I got a work around. You need to restore your PC to a point BEFORE you plug in your hero. I did this and now works great.
How I might undo root process?
I think that replace chmod 4755 permision to default in the "su" file, but I don't know how to
No need to do, but I'm intererested in the concept
There is a thread on how to unroot:
Open Windows Console and connect Hero with PC
write this:
fastboot boot cm-hero-recovery.img
adb shell mount /system
adb shell rm /system/app/Superuser.apk
adb shell rm /system/bin/su
adb shell reboot

I'm sorry but could don't find ...Thanks!!!
its a sticky.. its really hard NOT to find it
edit: okay it WAS a sticky, but its also on the first site in this subforum.. so no problem to at least SEE it
I used to use "Root Explorer" on my hero to delete system apps before..doesn't seem to work anymore..
solution??

did you mount /system in rw mode? (it's ro by default)
U dont have write access to system partition in normal use if i read the tutorial right. U have to do it with an update.zip (editing the update script) or with adb both u have to do in recovery menu from modaco i think. Tell me if i am wrong.
Sry for my bad english
@cezarL yes I did
@xtcislove I wish u were wrong..seems like pain.. anyway to do it without a pc?

Damn, you're right. Previously, I had deleted an .apk just to check if it's working, then reinstalled the app right away.
But I just tested now, it looks like after a reboot, the .apk magically reappears, and the application is running as usual

ye..I'm sure it has something to do with the root limitations Paul mentioned in his rooting guide. hope it'll be fixed soon.

Try this: Boot in recovery menu and try the following commands:
adb remount
adb shell rm /system/app/APP.apk
adb shell rm /data/app/APP.apk
where APP.apk is the filename of the apk with the .apk extention, remember case-sensitive!
for example:
adb remount
adb shell rm /system/app/FriendStream.apk
adb shell rm /system/app/FriendStream.odex
take a look before if your app has a odex or try this: (here u need only one command)
adb remount
adb shell rm /system/app/*FriendStream*
Good luck and have fun =)

I'm trying to do these things in windows at the moment. No issues getting in the recovery with the windows scripts. But when I try to open a ADB Shell after I've gone to recovery I can't really do anything with it and the recovery hangs (not controllable with the track pad).
Anyone can tell me what I'm doing wrong?
You're not doing anything wrong, from what I've seen opening a new adb instance on Windows will kill the server created by the .bat file used for recovery... which means the connection to the device is lost. I haven't looked into it further, but it might be fixeable somehow.
Ah I see, so basicly you undo the patched recovery by opening a new session. It does work properly under Linux then? I run ubuntu on my netbook so It's not a big issue anyway. Thanks for the tip, gonna try under linux now!
I'm having the same problems as:
http://android.modaco.com/content/h...co-com/307401/removing-sys-apps/#entry1256015
I removed a load of HTC widgets but I get strange entries on the widget menu. Anyone know how to get rid of these?
Also, I removed Stocks (.apk and .odex), now I get a force close on 'Accounts & sync'. Anyone know how to remove Stocks properly?
Cheers.
After running the bat file to get into recovery, start a new cmd prompt in windows and use again adb-nilezon for shell commands instead of ordinary adb, and it wont be killed.
This has worked for me atleast

The best, foolproof, failsafe way is to remove them from the rom before installing it... and remember that some services are still required, weather you use them or not.
But, if a system app is already installed you need to remove:
the apk from /system/app
the data from /data/data/appname
the cache from /cache/dalvik-cache
Do not remove Accounts & Sync...
Thanks for the answer.
I guess now is a good time to bake my own ROM!

You're in recovery mode right? I rooted before the tmobile update so I used the original method not the one you're using. I assume that for the most part you need to have your phone in recovery mode.
The /system/ directory is read only unless you're in recovery and I believe that's were that method attempts to write. You usually only get that message when you attempt to write to the system when not in recovery.
Thank you, but there is not a single word about puting phone into recovery mode in the instructions. Unless they mean it my default
i will try though.
Yeah, some steps are left out in certain 'common' tasks like rooting. It's assumed to be common knowledge or that if you don't know to automatically do a step then maybe you shouldn't be attempting it. At least that's the feeling I get sometimes but that's why it's important to search and ask if you don't find the answer.
Recovery mode is not necessary, nor possible at this point. The phone just needs to be on and connected with adb. No steps are left out (I've used this method), you just need to make sure you follow every step exactly.

If it's under/system, you need to be in recovery. I rooted with the original method though, so I can't really tell you much.

You're kidding about recovery mode right? I really hope so or that you stated that wrong... wow...
In order to write to ./system on the mytouch 3g slide you HAVE to be in recovery. Not saying this method has to be in recovery or not because I never used it. Just thought I'd throw out the suggestion to try it just in case it needs to be.
Well, i've followed steps to the point. I have rooted my phone before, so even though i am a newbe, i do have a general idea of the process.
But i have no idea why it just won't work for me.
I have tried putting it into recovery using loop script, otherwise it just states that it's in recovery and still won't let me write to it

Why would I be kidding? It isn't necessary to be in recovery to push files to /system. I know since I've rooted my phone twice from a fully booted state (which is necessary to toggle the wifi).

Hmm... Allow me to copy and paste a few lines from that thread, written by the developer:
1:After many long hours of trying to restore my phone, I have now ported the exploid exploit to the MyTouch Slide! This means that you can gain root on any version of the Slide, INCLUDING the latest OTA! However, this isn't necessarily "easy" as in the One-Click Root program, but there are reasons for this. While Android is running we cannot write to /system and even if we force Linux to let us, the NAND protection will prevent Linux from completing the write!
2:Important: If you do nothing after step 12 then you are not "rooted." This program grants itself root permissions in a shell, that is ALL. If you want system-wide root access (what most people consider "rooted"), you MUST flash a custom ROM since the NAND protection on our device prevents us from giving global root access while inside the ROM. When following Eugene's instructions on flashing ENG, make note to NOT run the command 'su' if you already have a pound symbol (#) at your command prompt!
Basically, this 'root' method is actually a program that allows you to flash the ENG package to give you root. By itself, the program does nothing but allow you to operate inside the shell as root for a short time. Sort of like the 'sudo' command in linux - at least from what I can tell.
I'm aware of what the developer said. I'm also aware that I disregarded not having the phone booted since it would be a little tough to toggle wifi without being booted. If you don't believe it can be done, do a nandroid backup and unroot your phone and try rerooting. Pushing exploid and do the root whole process before flashing the eng-build while booted. Or just take my word. Personally I figure out for the life of me how anyone toggles the wifi (which is one of the steps) if not fully booted.
I don't argue just to be right. I just don't want people to be given incorrect info and never solve their problem. Rooting and can be frustrating on this phone if your not too familiar with rooting or using command prompt.
Sent from my T-Mobile myTouch 3G Slide using XDA App
I wan't saying the files can't be pushed while it's on, I've done that before but NAND will undo or not complete it once you reboot. It's the same reason that you can't delete a system app while the slide is booted - well you can but it will still be there, and once you reboot the delete is undone - unless you're in recovery.
All I was saying is that it's not a permanent write to the system, if that's where it's even being pushed and he still has to flash the ENG build to gain full root. I think this guy needs to just redo the steps, maybe read the old root methods to gain some insight too. It might help.
btw, I think there actually is a command to toggle wifi through adb, not sure if it does much in recovery or not. Also, not a chance in hell am I going to unroot - it was a pain in the a** catching my phone in recovery even when I used the loop.bat file
Good to know that's why my apps didn't stay deleted.

I came across this thread while trying to understand why my rooted phone won't let me pull or rm from a terminal emulator. The way I rooted my phone was by flashing an update in recovery. Does anyone know of a file that would unroot by using the same method in recovery?

rm, rm -f or any other commmands will not work with terminal emulator because in order to use that program you phone has to be on, and since we can only write to the /system in recovery I'm sure you see what I'm getting at. You can still pull from the /system when the phone is on. The command isn't 'pull' though, it's:
Code:
cp <path to file> <location to copy to>
As far as the unroot thing, use the search bar [slide rom bible].

No, windows uses \ for local and local network file paths, it only uses / for remote locations and networks.
I'm not sure if this would work without already having root (I received my phone already rooted, never had to do it)
In command prompt, try
adb remount
You can also try this:
adb shell mount -o rw,remount /sqlite_stmt_journals
See if any of those work. Like I said, it may not, since those might be things that need root.
Any updates on this? I cannot push the file either. And "adb shell mount -o rw,remount /sqlite_stmt_journals" does nothing.
Is it possible to change it using root or adb please?
Why would you want to?
Nope. Impossible

just wanted to clone my wife's one for the hands free in the car to avoid having to switch through the menu in the car.
I was unable to locate /pds as per http://pocketnow.com/tweaks-hacks/motorola-atrix-4g-how-to-change-wi-fi-and-bt-mac from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=992326. I suspect every phone maker puts Bluetooth address where they wish...
However I was able to locate a zero byte bt_mac_addr file with no extension in /proc folder. It is empty both when bluetooth is on and off.
I hope someone more technically skilled than me can figure out if it can be populated to change the bluetooth address succesfully.
Thanks in advance
I looked at the '/proc/bt_mac_addr' file again using root explorer this time and can see my bluetooth mad address in it and could edit the address and change permissions to it but the modifications don't stay saved even after reboot though the root explorer says changes saved successfully. Can someone help me modifying the file please.
I'm on rooted 2.3.3
/proc is a virtual Filesystem provided by the Linux Kernel. The changes you made there won't persist a reboot cause it only gets saved in Ram.
Thank you. Does it mean I need a script of some type? Is it possible to achieve a change some other way? The pocketnow article seems to do it for the motorola phone but by modifying text file in another folder which I cannot find.
I followed the same process as follows using below commands
C:\Program Files\Android\android-sdk\platform-tools>adb push C:\APK\bt_mac_addr /sdcard/download/bt_mac_addr
1 KB/s (18 bytes in 0.015s)
C:\Program Files\Android\android-sdk\platform-tools>adb shell
$ su
su
# cp /sdcard/download/bt_mac_addr /proc/bt_mac_addr
cp /sdcard/download/bt_mac_addr /proc/bt_mac_addr
cp: can't create '/proc/bt_mac_addr': File exists
Is there another file I can change for it maybe?
Thanks again for all the help.
If you really want to do it then you can (On stock rom) use the same trick that is used for adb remount (Put an echo whatever into into /etc/install-recovery.sh)
You need to make sure it runs as root as well
Have a play around.
Installing the insecure adb apk (From Paul Modaco).
and
adding to the end.
/system/xbin/echo 8D:64:22:01:E2:A9 > /proc/bt_mac_addr
looks like it should work.
(If you have an unlocked bootloader then you can just do it from init.semc.rc in the initramfs)
Or you can look at the method (I posted the manual method in the rooting/insecure adb thread).
This presumes that this is actually working (Its possible you might have to restart a service to actually change it).
just make a simple init.d script
Thank you both. I Will look at it when i'm at the pc. A bit scared having never done anything similar. I Appreciate your guidance very much

Thanks again for your previous replies.

Same problem in gscript unfortunately.
Would you please tell me what this means and kindly suggest what I should do. I have not figured out yet how to do adb insecure or init.d but hope you could suggest the best way after seeing the above error.

Is anyone actively working on this? Will it work with AT&T phones, or do I need to be concerned with the whole Loki Doki thing here as well? Until it is working with the cellular radio, I fear there is no reason to even play with this for now. Unfortunately, I don't think I have the skills to help out.
Subscribing.
Edit: Just tried to load this rom via TWRP v2.5.0.2 and it failed.

You do need Loki and such. I think development on this was merged into the international S4, if you check the Ubuntu wiki for Ubuntu touch you'll find the thread listed.
EDIT: It links to the same thread as OP, so I don't know if anyone is continuing it but I don't think so.
