I'm trying the rage root method after reading up on all the stuff. I managed to get adb installed and connected, but i can't use adb actions.
I type in c\androidsdk\tools\adb shell
$ su
$ SUermission denied
even without su, if i try to type "adb push su /sdcard/su" it says adb permission denied.
I have kept my phone screen on as per another thread, but i do not get a prompt that asks for adb permissions. Am i missing an app or something? I do have debugging and screen awke both on.
I have placed the g2 root folder in the androidsdk\tools\ folder, both just the files and the entire folder just to be sure.
Obviously I'm new to adb, so If i'm doing something completely wrong just let me know.
as long as you're not rooted (temp or perma) you can't use "su" in adb-commands... If you tell a little more about what you're trying to push, then I can help some more
Im just trying to root the phone with rage since visionary seems unreliable.
Im trying to adb push the su/ sdcard/su as per the first line of instruction in the rage temp root guide
hehe... I used the visionary root, and it have worked good for me btw, I think you should've posted in the rage-thread instead of opening a new topic, but now it's already opened so here it goes
firstly... are you sure you're in the right folder, and have the folder "su" in there?
If so, don't go into "adb shell"... use the lines exactly as stated in the OP. adb inside an adb shell won't give the results you want... Post back if it doesn't work
$ adb push su /sdcard/su
$ adb push Superuser.apk /sdcard/Superuser.apk
$ adb push rage /data/local/tmp/rage
$ adb push busybox /data/local/tmp/busybox
$ adb push root /data/local/tmp/root
$ adb shell chmod 0755 /data/local/tmp/*

I don't think Im using adb right then, how do I just type in "adb push ...?" If I do that, it just says that the command is not recognized internally or externally.
For example,
Adb push su/ sdcard/su
gives me that error.
I've tried to set a path directly to adb, but that didn't work, so I was manually going
AndroidSKD\tools\ Adb push su/ sdcard/su but that also didnt work.
I don't have the $ prompt without shell, is that wrong?
I'm pretty sure Im in the right folder, as androidsdk\tools\adb gives me the adb directory, just nothing else works. What exactly does SU folder mean? I have the su file in the tools folder, dont know about the su folder.
Ok, my adb stuff is in c:\tools .. so when I first open command prompt, I have to type this:
cd c:\tools
That puts me into the correct folder. If yours is in C, then you'd probably have to do this:
cd c:\androidsdk\tools
Then type:
adb devices
It should at least give you SOME sort of output, either with your device number (if it's connected, and adb is working properly), or just say devices, with no numbers (incorrectly)

You, apparently, need to read some more.
Do it exactly as written here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/index.php?title=HTC_Vision#Rooting_the_G2
FYI you will not see the $ symbol. that just indicated the next line you have to enter in commnad prompt. Each time you see $ just mean you type that line then press enter. Wait to see a result of transfer from prompt then enter next line and so on.

This!! I'll be kind though.
Make your life easy. Unzip the contents of g2TempRoot, to your tools folder, in sdk. So, unzip the g2temproot to your desktop. Go into that folder. Copy all, and move them to c:\androidsdk\tools. Now, once that's done, go into command prompt. cd c:\androidsdk\tools. Then, do as follows, as per that link
$ adb push su /sdcard/su
$ adb push Superuser.apk /sdcard/Superuser.apk
$ adb push rage /data/local/tmp/rage
$ adb push busybox /data/local/tmp/busybox
$ adb push root /data/local/tmp/root
$ adb shell chmod 0755 /data/local/tmp/*
(Sorry I couldn't be of more help, as I used VisionaryR12 and it worked fine for me.)
One more word of advise...
I would recommend you try temp root first.
Become used to using adb then try to get full root.
When you use temp root everything you do is temporary only.
Rebooting will reset everything back to stock so its good practice.
thanks for the help guys, but i figured it out. I just wasn't in the right directories from the get go.
Edit: Just finished the perm root! And it didn't brick.

Read .. research .. double check .. triple check .. and right before you do it .. check again. As you're doing it, go over every letter, space, and character to make sure it's as it should be.
On the subject of adb, I have it installed, but when I run adb devices to find my phone, I get "???????????? no permissions". What am I doing wrong here?

Hello everyone!!!
I want to know if there is a way to get a root shell after obtaining shell prompt using "adb shell".
I tried pushing some files, moving directories into "/data" and type "ls" but linux always gave me a "Permissioin denied" error.
What I want to do is to run a console program which is compiled by ARM compiler in a console mode. So I need to get an access to run a program in console mode of HTC Desire HD.
If you let me know, I will very very appreciate your help.
Thanks in advance.
Type command:
su

It will give you root shell if you have a rooted phone.
Um.. I already installed VISIONary. So I guess the phone I got is a rooted one.
Actually I'm a kind of outsiders about smart-phones~~!
So do I need to install some apps to make a rooted phone?
Just installing VISIONary doesn't seem enough.. right?
Visionary temproot or permroot is enough, just type "su" in adb shell.
Despite that I installed VISIONary, run permroot and reboot my phone, su doesn't give root shell.
I don't know why
do you know what root shell is? when you type su if a # appears on the next line ur logged into root

Sure.
I got root shell afterwards.
Thank you~~~!
Hello All,
So I decided to try rooting after doing all this research. I chose to use the "rage" method shown here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=834228
I download all the files and everything needed, I get adb to work, and I type in the displayed commands. My problem comes in when I move over to the phone and use Terminal Emulator. I type in /data/local/tmp/rage just as the directions specified but emulator then spits back: /data/local/tmp/rage:not found.
I have scoured the internet to find a solution to this problem and I can't seem to find any postings of someone else having the same problem. How do I get past this. Is there something I am missing? Please help!
in terminal or in adb shell... go to that directory to tmp
then do ls to check if rage is in there
so you would go
cd /data
cd /local
cd tmp
then
ls
and hopefully you should see rage in there if you do then try it again if you dont push it back in there
I tried your suggestion using terminal on my phone and it keeps telling me Is: permission denied. So I tried cd /data\local\tmp and it let me get to that point. then i tried the dir command and I get dir: permission denied.
hey, i recently rooted my desire z and i had that problem too
i found that if you don't do run this
Code:
$ adb shell chmod 0755 /data/local/tmp/*
make sure you run that before you type /data/local/tmp/rage in your terminal
I got it to work!! I am rooted. I finally realized that I had missed a space. I am about to flash my first rom!! YAAAAYYY. Thanks to all the hard work of others and their wonderful directions lol
Hi All,
I did root my device following this procedure by arco68: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2364980
Worked perfectly and naming few applications they are ok, like Terminal Emulator, BusyBox, ES File exploree, etc, and ran different root verifiers program which confirmed root status.
But when using adb shell su, I'm unable to get root access as you can see here
Code:
C:\Users\marco\Downloads\Android\adt-bundle-windows-x86_64-20140702\sdk\platform
-tools>adb devices
List of devices attached
08985214 device
C:\Users\marco\Downloads\Android\adt-bundle-windows-x86_64-20140702\sdk\platform
-tools>adb shell

su

,3003(inet),3006(net_bw_stats) context=u:r:shell:s0
[email protected]:/ $
It does generate a new prompt adding "1|", and as soon as you execute a comand it returns to the original prompt, but never you have root access
I've been researching across, but unable to find something similar.
All the procedures for permission denied that I have found point to rooting the device which is why I already did.
I have redone the procedure in case something was wrong, but no changes.
Hope somebody knows what is happening
Thanks in advance
Hi,
I had this problem on terminal emulator (same when typing su) on the s4 mini rooted the same way yours is.
It occurred after I installed some apps including some google updates I installed manually - I don't know which of them caused that. But after I had this problem I realised that all apps don't have the root access anymore - SuperSU, RootChecker... And SuperSU didn't gave apps like TerminalEmulator and RootExplorer anymore root access.
This problem has been solved itself after I restarted my phone (because of another reason). And I had my rooted phone again.
So after your problem occurred - did you try another app that needs root access again? Does it have still root access? If no, try restarting too (if you haven't done that already) - maybe it helps you too...
Hi all,
I'm trying to use adb to get past the to many patterns screen, bet keep getting stuck following the posts I have seen. It all starts well with the commands but then I cant go any further. I can enter the first 2,
adb shell
cd /data/data/com.android.providers.settings/databases
Then when I enter "sqlite3 settings.db" it comes up "sqlite3: permission denied"
if I go via the commands "adb shell rm /data/system/gesture.key" it comes up with "adb: permission denied"
Does anyone have any ideas of how I can get round this or another way I might be able clear this too many pattern attemps?

Firstly I assume that this is your phone your working on, or a phone you have permission to work on. The law requires this.
You need root access. Gaining root access while being locked out will be tough. Depending on your hboot version (needs to be 1.01.001) you could run revolutionary to gain s-off, the root using a superuser flashable zip file. But if you dont care about data then just factory reset the phone and your in.
