do i need to be temp rooted before i perma root with gfree
I believe the temp root is achieved through using RAGE via the wiki section of XDA. It is painless and easy.
I was scared to root myself but decided to just go for it last night. I cannot believe how simple it was! I met a few obstacles on the way, but managed to overcome and now I'm running the CM7 Gingervillain ROM!
where exactly did you put gfree files did you put them in android/tools or did you make a folder in tools them put them in there
everything you need is on the wiki website. the location doesn't really matter because you can navigate to that folder and push using adb.
i just got my g2 now how do i no what version im on my android version is 2.2 and build number is 1.22.531.8

You are on Froyo(2.2) ,and your build Number 1.22 means you are OTA updated already.

As long as he put the folder which contains ADB.exe into his computer's path, if not he will have to place the files he wants to push where ever his ADB.exe file is. In the older version of AndriodSDK its located in the AndriodSDK\tools folder but in the new version r08 of AndriodSDK its located in the AndriodSDK\platform-tools folder.
when i type adb devices nothing shows up anyone no what to do

Do you have the right G2 drivers installed? You can go to the Wiki and get them or here they are to save you some time.
Also installing HTC Sync will install the correct drivers, HTC sync Doesnt work with the G2 because its Sense based but it will install the correct drivers for you. You can go HERE and download HTC Sync for the Desire Z, install it to your computer then hook your phone up and it will install the right drivers.
kool i got it now the problem that i am having is im getting permission denied when pushing
make sure you have usb debugging on and then do not have 'usb connected' when it prompts you.

Yes, from what I have seen, if you get that permission denied when pushing files to the SD card then that means that you have the SD card mounted on your computer through USB. All you have to do is plug the phone to your computer with the USB cord then run ADB, don't mount the SD card to your PC.
i got it to work i was writing the wrong path i didnt keep it simple i made folders for gfree instead of putting the contents in tools but thanks for all your help i guess i just want to no is it kool to mix roms and kernels im using Virtuous v0.9.0 Sense with 1.8 g2 fast kernel

I bought the Motorola Bravo which is similar to the Flipside and an app on the market called Z4ROOT was able to root the phone. It works on many phones not just the Bravo. Give that try and see if it works.
z4root does work for permanent root i have tried and can confirm

Got my Flipside rooted and non market apps allowed
I followed the instructions given at modmymobile dot com forum. Look up "fully unlock 3rd party apps backflip" It allowed me to root my phone and install non market apps. I tried and tried to follow the instructions given here, but i guess they weren't idiot proof. It is for the backflip, but it worked perfectly for my Flipside. I couldn't post the link here.
Someone found some typos in my scripts. I have updated them so they are accurate. Should make things run better.
Hey I kinda need some help. I've gotten through all the way to entering "adb install z4root.1.3.0.apk" into the command prompt but all I get is a message saying "adb" is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file. Anyone have any ideas on how this could be happening?

Lets say you installed your SDK in the default folder, you would need to type
Code:
cd c:\"Program Files"
cd Android
cd appinventor-extras
Now, I put mine in c:\SDK, so all I type is
Code:
cd c:\SDK
you either must add the SDK to your PATH, or find the directory that you installed it to, and then try running adb from there. If adb.exe isn't in the folder, you aren't in the right folder.

adb.exe is not present in the SDK that you linked. Are you sure that is the SDK we need to root the Flipside?
You have to install it manually. It comes with the platform-tools.

Notice:
For anyone having trouble rooting the Motorola Flipside with these instructions, after much trial and error I managed to get my girlfriend's rooted. I'll provide the method I took.
Note: The easiest way to do this is to have downloaded and extracted "android-sdk_r08-windows" directly to your (C: ) drive. Not under programs or another system folder.
Once you have it extracted to (C: ), copy and paste z4root.1.3.0.apk into the "android-sdk_r08-windows" folder. ADB.exe will most likely not be in here. What you have to do now is click on SDK Manager within the SDK folder. A Black Command window will pop-up, ignore it. A secondary window will pop-up prompting you to install the packages I went ahead and installed all of them (better if you don't know which to install).
Now that they've all been installed, a command line will state that ADB has to be restarted. Let it restart and it should say completed.
Now -- here's where everything was messing up. When you click open the SDK-R08 folder, you should have the z4root.apk file right there amongst a list of folders. Go to the "platform-tools" folder and in there you should see the ADB.exe file. Ignore that for now. While in platform-tools press Ctrl+A so that everything is highlighted. Right click and select Cut, back out to the main directory of the SDK R08 folder and select Paste so that the ADB.exe, .dll, and all the other files from within platform-tools is out and listed alongside the z4root.apk.
Next - Follow all of the instructions up to "Plug in your phone, and have it set to "Charge only" Like JonsJava said, open up command prompt (type in CMD in the "search programs and files bar"). If you extracted the "android-sdk-r08-windows" file directly to the (C: ) drive, all you have to type in is...
(Note: Before I go into that, it'll be easiest to rename the file "SDK" instead of the whole "android-sdk, etc, name... I'll complete the instructions assuming you renamed it to SDK. Continued below... all you have to type in is...
cd C:\SDK
(The next line below will look like this)
c:\SDK>
Here, type in... adb install z4root.1.3.0.apk
Total should look like... c:\SDK>adb install z4root.1.3.0.apk
Hit enter and it should go through a few instructions. From there look in the applist on your phone for z4root, click on it and select permanently root. Your phone will restart. From there you're rooted (test by downloading an app which requires root) and don't have to worry about the low memory issues every again. Glad I got the Captivate, lol. So much easier to root, rom, and overclock.
Last note:
Uploaded with ImageShack.us
This is what the main directory of the SDK folder should look like before you enter anything in the command line.
I don't seem to be able to get this...
I'm using x64 windows 7, I have a Flipside MB508 on 2.1, and I can't get this to work.
I followed all the instructions, updated all the platform-tools stuff, and now my problem lies with the driver, I believe.
I installed those Motorola drivers that were linked, with my phone unplugged, successfully..
copied the apk to C:\SDK...
found adb.exe in the platform-tools folder..
...and this happened..
C:\SDK\tools>cd C:\SDK
C:\SDK>cd platform-tools
C:\SDK\platform-tools>adb install C:\SDK\z4root.1.3.0.apk
* daemon not running. starting it now on port 5037 *
* daemon started successfully *
error: device not found
C:\SDK\platform-tools>adb install C:\SDK\z4root.1.3.0.apk
error: device not found
C:\SDK\platform-tools>_
"error: device not found" every time i try this
USB debugging is on, phone is plugged in set to charge only..
Windows even sees it, the taskbar eject icon says 'Eject MB508"
please please help me get adb to see my phone.. I really want to be able to root this thing!!
EDIT: I noticed the Motorola drivers are 32bit.. I'm going to try 32 bit windows 7 instead of 64 bit and see if I get more successful results
EDIT 2: Bazinga!! Installed Win7 32 bit on my other HDD, booted up, followed the steps again, worked flawlessly! Thanks a lot for the easy instructions, got z4root installed, and my phone worked with permanent root

You wrote in here that once rooted, thebphone would no longer have low memory issues...i rooted my wife's phone, was able to sideload applications (but for some strange reason I am now unable to, as adb command prompt states 'device not found')- but she still gets low memory issues at least 2-3 times a week...

No ADB knowledge needed. Just follow instructions.
1. Download mini-adb Here
2. Extract that and put it on your desktop.
3. Go download HTC sync Official Page or HTC sync Direct Download and install it. If you are NOT HTC, then download whatever you need to get the drivers needed for your phone onto your PC (like samsung Kies)
4. Plug your phone into your computer and make sure debugging mode is on.
5. Now go to your mini-adb folder on your desktop and double click RunMe.bat
6. When the black command prompt window pops up, type the following:
adb devices
7. If it lists your Device, then you did it!
8. To push any file, make sure you place it in the same folder as your RunMe.bat, and the command will be
adb push WHATEVERTHEFILENAMEIS /WHEREEVERYOUWANTITTOGO
For example, to push a file called libSwypeCore.so into /system/lib/
Adb remount
adb push libSwypeCore.so /system/lib/
+1 Thanks if this worked for you!
P.S. Technically you have installed ADB by step 5. Step 5 and onwards just tells you how to use it.=P Title doesn't lie.
why not just install Android SDK from http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html
and you got ADB right after the installation.
By the way if you wanna push something to /system, you have to "adb remount" first to set it "r/w"
When I click runme it opens for a split second and then disappears
I so wish i could of found this earlier to save me the 4 hours of WTF moments i was having.
Also beats not having to install the SDK of 31megs not counting install/setup as well.

Same boat..I saw your post on Jan 20th in the Guide for ADB thread, which is really nice..
But I got to the same point(you also outlined in that thread) of after uninstalling the previous Android usb drivers on my system, and trying to choose a specific location to look for a x86 driver, I was left with Windows not allowing me to click 'OK' to denote the USB driver folder from the Android SDK that I wanted to scan. Not sure what was up, but I was elated to see the link to this thread in your sig.
Thanks for the guide! My Evo 4g Shift thanks u as well

Download the zip file for the radio. Put it into your SD card. Boot up in recovery. Choose flash zip file. Choose radio zip file. Done.
No adb required.

I downloaded visionary+ onto my Telus HTC Desire HD no problem, I had rooted it earlier and beleived that to be done correctly. I was getting ready to flash my radio and was going through the steps to do so when my problems began.
Now, all that happens is VISIONary+ keeps on rebooting. I have tried pulling the battery, I have tried to change my settings (re: usb debugging) but nothing seems to help.....all it does is continously shut back off and try to reboot.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Update: This issue has been resolved. I am now trying to figure out if my phone is properly rooted...go to page 2 in thread please
What is your build number in settings>about>software information? Anything higher (and including) than 1.7 will cause Visionary to fail. Then you have to downgrade first.
OK, that is my first mistake, my Build # is 1.84.61.2.
I will attempt the downgrade and report back here
I am at the downgrade prompt. When I put in the command "adb push psneuter /data/local/tmp" I get a message saying "'adb' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file"
What did I do wrong?

download android sdk first
http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html
put your command to the folder .. for example if u extract to desktop with folder android, then go to command prompt, point to the folder first
e.g: "cd desktop" "cd android"
p/s: put the file inside the folder too
Thanks Hayday, this dosen't seem to help though.
I have the Android SDK in my C: drive and I have placed the "downgrade" folder inside of it. And I still get the same error of "adb' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file" when I type the "adb push psneuter /data/local/tmp"
Any other suggestions?
I believe it still may be a driver problem. I keep getting a message from HTC Sync that says "HTC sync port of ### is not responding. Please disconnect cable and reconnect after 10 seconds"
Can I use the program terminal emulator to do this directly on the phone?
does the folder have adb.exe in it ?
if you place the android sdk folder in c for example the folder name is "android" , you just go to cmd .. then type "cd c:/android/"
and then type "adb" ..
you must use the command inside c:/android .. not c:/android/Downgrade
to be safe, just copy everything in "Downgrade" folder and paste to android sdk folder too ..
btw, here is the full thread by jkoljo himself on how to downgrade.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=905003&highlight=downgrade
I have done exactly as you say, I have the "downgrade" folder inside of the "AndroidSDK" folder....and still get the exact same message of "'adb' is not recognized....."

Download & install htc sync, this should include all the drivers you need.
I think you need net framework 3.xx installed as well.
Then in cmd, go to where you put the downgrade file (cd blah blah) - http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=483902&d=1294492245 - & then the command lines should work.

Add it to your path. Eg: PATH=c:\android-sdk\platform-tools;%PATH%

Thanks!
Now that I have the proper build #, I want to make sure my phone is properly rooted......or do I have to re-root it?
Is there any way to check and see if my phone is properly rooted?

I don't know what that is... All tutorials I found instructed to just use the USB drivers provided byt he Google Repository built-in to the SDK. Would this solve my problem? If so, where can I find it?
And yes, I'm using the original USB cable.
Is there a way to push files to the /system directory without using ADB? I just want to put 2 files in my /system directory...

And nope, because you'll need 'permission' to have r/w on the system directory.

I've searched to the best of my ability in these forums and cant seem to find an answer to my problem...
Ive been looking at a particular thread's information on how to replace my MMS file and default.xml in order to get my MMS functionality working on my Evo 4G flashed to Cricket. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=793588
Ive installed the SDK, installed the USB driver package within, installed the repository for 2.3.3 (what my phone is running).
I uninstalled all drivers from my phone using USBDeview.
And STILL, after plugging my phone in while in recovery mode (Clockwork mod 2.3.3) my PC will not recognize it as ADB, only as an Android Phone.
I have everything i need setup to push the files to my phone and get back the functionality of my MMS, but I cant seem to figure otu how the heck to get my PC to see my hone as an ADB. Any suggestions?

If you can still mount your phone as a usb flash, or disk drive or even take the sd out use an adaptor and transfer the files to the sdcard, now you have 2 of many options but these I prefer
1) You can use Root explorer which I prefer this will give you the option to mount system read write rather easily, then you can just copy or move your files and drop them in where you need them
or
2) You can install terminal on your phone and manually transfer files using the commands
this one I am not positive which one is needed but they will work as long as you have root and busybox
# su
# busybox mount -o remount,rw /system -this will put your system directory into read/write
you may try leaving the busybox off if it doesnt work at first.at the prompt you can use either cp or mv for copy or move I would do copy
should look something like this.
#cp (source directory)/(file you wish to copy) /system/(destination of file add additional directories if needed)
Make note though this is all dependant on you having root and busybox installed. Otherwise this will not work but I would work on getting the usb drivers working.
Sounds funny but did you enable usb debugging in settings/applications?

Sure did. I ended up replacing the default.XML, apn.XML and mms.apk files, but still no luck... I tried using apn backup and restore to install the new apn but no luck there either. Aaaaand when I tried to restore deathsled's jiminy mod, it looks like it just defaults back to cm7 instead. Any idea how I can try running jiminy without deleting my cm7 incase it doesn't work out as planned?

Still no luck...
Turns out I can't do a full flash (which is apparently what I need to get my MMS and GPS on my Cricket Flashed Evo4G) using ES Explorer or Root explorer. I need to use ADB to do so, but I still can't get the drivers working...
Any ideas?
I am trying to sync my DInc with Windows 8 Pro to unlock it through the HTC developer site. Unrevoked wont work due to the version of my baseband being 2.15.10.12.20. Software version 2.3.4.
I have USB debugging enabled, fastboot off, performed a factory reset, cleared cache through HBOOT, and the computer DOES reckognize the phone and I am able to select open files and do whatever I need to do with the phone... it just wont display on HTCSync so I can go through the process of rooting it and getting JB on it.
I have also tried running HTCSync in compatability mode. I have been working on getting this working for days now, and have searched this and many other forums for solutions to no avail.
Any ideas would be greatly appreciated, and any more information you need will be provided asap.
Check the unrevoked site for the proper drivers of you haven't already. You don't need HTCSync to work, just adb.

The baseband for this particullar device isn't supported by unrevoked, so I'm looking for other solutions. Ate there any other ways you know of to get jb on this phone?

I understand that unrevoked won't work, but you need your PC to connect to it as far as drivers go (most people use unrevoked drivers). You don't need HTCSync, just adb. If you can setup adb to work, and get it read when you issue
Code:
adb devices
then you should be good to.

I can connect the phone and browse files through Windows explorer, I guess I'm just not familiar with adb yet, ill try to find more information on that and give it a try, thanks!

I've been looking for the adb tool you had mentioned, but the only reference I am finding is for ICS/JB. I'm currently running Gingerbread (2.3.4 to be exact) Your last comment mentioned using a command 'adb devices' which makes me think adb is actually a command in windows or a linux application... I'm sure something I've said already has made you laugh at me so I'll stop now and just ask... can you give me a link to the process I need to follow to get this resolved, because for whatever reason, I can't find what I think you were trying to direct me towards.
Thanks!

How To Set Up Android ADB & Fastboot On Windows [Tutorial]
The only note on this guide I'd make, is not to use the C:\ drive. It's always a bad idea to put stuff in your root directory. Myself, I installed the sdk (which installed itself to C:\Program Files) then I added that to the system path. Also, you might have to reboot (or at least log off and log back on) to reset your PATH.
