[Question] about hboot/superuser/custom roms

I have a few noob questions hopefully someone can answer
I rooted using toasts method part 1 and part 2
I have flipz .6 rooted rom and radio 1.39.00.05.31
Do I always have to go into hboot then select recovery every time or is there a direct path to boot into recovery?
Every time I install custom roms will i have to redownload all my apps every time? If so is there a way to easily back up the apps and restore them?
The superuser permissions app is there after rooting what is it used for?
LxMxFxD - the act of "ROOTING" is the act of giving super user. Super users are accounts on a phone or linux/unix device that can do EVERYTHING on the machine. Like the admin on windows. The whole point of rooting a phone is so you can get super user permissoins.
When i select the superuser permissions app i just see a black screen, should it do more than that?
ccapasso - What you are seeing is normal. The SuperUser Permission app is by default blank. However, once you start using apps that require su permission, such as Wireless Tether, it CAN start to have entries in it. I say CAN because you will notice that when you choose the Wireless Tether app, you will get a prompt asking you to allow. If you choose allow, it will continue as always. However, if you choose Always Allow, you will no longer get that prompt. Also, once you choose Always Allow, your SuperUser Permission app will now show a listing in it. If you simply choose Allow instead, you would still have nothing listed in the SuperUser Permission app.
How do I remove the proprietary apps?
you need to be in the recovery
from the cmd window type
Code:
adb shell
mount /dev/block/mtdblock4 /system
cd /system/app
rm amazonmp3.apk
check this post for a list of apps to remove

can anyone help me out with question 1 or 2?

2) Try Titanium Backup in the App Store - I tend to like it quite a bit.

[Q] Question: Supposed Quick Root Method Usning Androot/Rom Maqnager Need Help!!!

Ok so I started the method previously posted before it was linked back to nbecthers method because it supposedly works but I flashed the clockwork it wouldn't flash my custom rom (CM Mod 6.1.1) and returned me to the stock then I tried the correct method and it won't let me adb push flash_img/data/local or mtg0.img to data/local either so I can't cd, chmod the commands to then boot into the stock recovery and flash esprimg.zip followed by clockwork(update.zip cause its already applied but NAND protection stops it from working I guess) because I no longer have a stock recovery to exploit or whatever I have clockwork I have since used androot and root explorer for root used to copy flash_image and mtg0.img to data/local and exploid is in the sqlite_stmt_journals as it should be... So can I run the commands to run flash image and mtg0.img and exploid again from and android shell off my phone with su permissions from androot temp root and then flash a custom image or am a screwed? Or should I run the exploid command toggle wifi and then the flash/mtg commands from android shell or what cause I'm away from a pc and I need to do this to my phone plus it goes to the triangle screen and nothing works I gotta pull the battery...

Honestly, start from ground zero of the updated for 12/30 root method and you will be just fine. Just messing around earlier today I unrooted and rerooted my phone a few times. Stick with eugene373's method from step one on and things should work fine.

I recommend using the one involving the exploid file, it's very simple.

NVM!!! I Stumbled Upon My Own NO PC QUICK ROOT Method!

Ok so in my never ending struggle against the Evil Eclair/T-Mo/HTC NAND Protection and the Futility of Trying to flash a ROM With the "Supposed AndRoot QuIck Root Method" As well as a fine point from Nbetcher that the Engineering build must be flashed because Android has NAND protection while running. I have devised my own "No PC ROOT Method!!!"
Required Files (Tested For MT3G SLIDE Latest OTA Unrooted Stock)
1.Download Androot From Location of Choosing (I'm Using Version 1.6.2)
2.Download ESPRIMG.zip (ENG build)
3.Download SlideEng-Package.zip
4.Download Custom Rom Of Your Choosing(Mine Is CM 6.1.1 Stable)
5.Download Android Terminal Emulator(From Market)
6.Download Root Explorer Android (Requires Root) (From Market Or Some Place Online)
7.Download File Explorer (Dev:Adao Team)(From Android Market)
8.Download Latest Clockwork Recovery(I Used 2.5.0.1)
Please Not I Am NOT The DEV Behind these Apps nor am I Resposible For Any Damages You May Incur To Your Device or Warranty by using this Method! Also Before anyone says I repped someone off remeber I accidentally discovered this using 2 failed methods because they essentially cancel each other out.(The Latter Nbetchers works just not after the AndRoot One)!!!
So...
1st Download/Install all needed files from market( File Manager Android Terminal Emulator)
2nd Download all zip images, Recoveries, Roms, apps from phone browser Directly To SD ROOT(Google em until I get links up on Dev Forum)
3rd. Unzip SlideEng-Package.zip To Root using File Manager or Other Zip Program for android(Andro-Zip Works Well)
4th Change Name of Clockwork to Update.zip(Case Sensative)
5th Install AndRoot And Run Root Me With Install Su & Temp Root/Unroot After Reboot Selected(Or Else You Will Boot Loop)
6th Install And Run Root Explorer then Copy and paste flash_img and mtd0.img to /data/local on android device by multi-select copy then RM R/W in program in upper left on data local folder.
7th IMPORTANT!!! Long Press and hold each copied file and set permissions to allow read and write on both user and the lowest option (I Think Dev or system)
8th Run Android Terminal Emulator and type the following commands verbatim spaces included Pressing enter after each line($ n # will be there provided you follwed all steps if not go back to androot and root again):
$ su
# cd /data/local
# chmod 04755 flash_image
# ./flash_image misc mtd0.img
Now power off and reboot using VOL-DOWN + POWER
It'll reboot into the HBoot Screen and ask if you want to Check ESPRIMG.zip after Verifying it will ask you to flash Select Yes (VOL-UP) And Wait DO NOT POWER DOWN OR TAKE OUT BATTERY!!!
Once its Completed it will ask you to Reboot select no Instead and Go To Recovery
Now Select APPLY Update.zip to flash CLOCKWORK RECOVERY YAY!!! :-D Now We Can Flash a Custom Rom With Root and Even Go As Far As S-OFF!!! But Please Be Sure Its Already On Your Micro SD...
Select Wipe Data Factory Reset by Scrolling with VOL- UP/DOWN or Track Pad and Use Power/Trackpad TO Select.
Now Use Install Zip from SD Card to Install Custom Rom(Flash GApps Second if downloaded and desired if using CM Mod 6.1.1) Now Reboot And Enjoy!!! If you Wanna Flash Anything Else Use Rom Manager From Market and Som Custom Roms to Boot into Clockwork!!! Thanks to all the Devs and their tools and immense knowledge for Making this Possible! Thanks To All The ROM Chefs Too!!!

Applications safe to remove

Requires Root
From your Phone:
1.
You can use/ download Root Explorer from the Android Market which costs ..
$3.79
In Root explorer:
Make sure you select R/W (read and write) to get out of R/O (read only) mode at the top of Root Explorer
Push menu ->Search->Search Term
ex. "SprintTV.apk" ->
Delete results that have the search term in it.
2.
Or use Sdx Stock app remover
This app can be downloaded and installed to any phone With Root. It has been tested and has been proven to work on many phones. There have been mention of some issues - please post if you do encounter problems.
Purpose:
It can be used to backup and remove any of the stock apps found in /system/app/. There's also a feature that will allow you to control whether /system/ is mount read/write (see settings->Auto mount)
Simply select all apps you want to delete... it will ask for SU permissions ...
3.
Third method is the good old ADB Method ...
Make sure you have the Samsung drivers installed on your PC.
They should be available to download directly from Samsung Shortly at this Webpage:
http://www.samsung.com/us/support/downloads/SPH-D710ZKASPR
Install drivers make sure USB debugging is on then connect it to your computer..
Make sure you have the Android SDK installed for adb shell on your computer.
Windows/Linux/Mac download at this link:
http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html
Open Command Prompt
Navigate to your android sdk installation folder. It it's directly in C: then type this below.
Type each step one at a time, or copy and right click paste in command prompt (do not control+v)
1. cd C:\android-sdk-windows\tools>adb shell
2. $ su
3. # mount -o rw,remount -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system
4. # cd /system/app
5. # ls
6. # rm Stock.apk

I've seen several posts and reviews that say you are allowed to remove all Sprint bloatware through the normal Applications manager. No root needed.

This, coupled with unlocked bootloader, is fantastic. Samsung, and to a smaller extent Sprint, deserves some love for these decisions.

If they come through on the consumer phones they absolutely do. I hope that Samsung does stick with this.

Nice! lol

Now we just need root!!!

I use System App Remover from the market which not only will remove system apps (if rooted) but has an "assisst mode" which color codes all the system apps according to their risk of removing.

[ROOT] Rooting the Fujitsu Arrows X LTE Docomo F-05D

Thanks go to goroh_kun, ayati and DoomLord. All the usual warnings about attempting to root a phone apply. This works on a phone with build number V16R24C, which is current as of this writing. I can't speak for any later updates.
You will need the following:
Java SDK (required for android dev kit – get the JDK): http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/index.html
ADK: http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html
ADB driver: http://spf.fmworld.net/oss/usb_driver/f-05d/index.html
F-05D rooting files: http://ayati.cocolog-nifty.com/blog/files/F05Droot.zip
zergRush files (tested with v4): http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1319653
Optional:
- a terminal application of your choice
- busybox installer from the market
- English versions of the .bat files (remove the .txt extension): http://pastebin.com/RBCWvzES and http://pastebin.com/EQfjpDAM
Part 1, installing the ADB driver:
1. Install the JDK
2. Install the ADK
3. Go to C:\Users\YourUsername\.android and edit the adb_usb.ini file.
4. Add 0x04C5 on a separate line at the bottom. Save and close the file.
5. Reboot the computer or restart adb
6. On the phone, press home, settings, applications – toggle Unknown sources to On.
7. Same place, press development and toggle USB debugging to On.
8. Connect the phone to the PC, and when prompted, navigate to the location where you extracted the ADB driver.
Part 2, rooting the phone:
1. Extract the zergRush and rooting files to the same folder. (put the English versions in the same spot if want to use them instead).
2. With the phone connected and in debug mode, run the f05dsu.bat file (DO NOT RIGHT CLICK AND SELECT RUN AS ADMIN).
3. You first will get asked to go to Settings, Setting my body, Step/activity counter app, Pedometer use, is turned On. Press space after doing that.
4. You will then get asked to toggle the same setting OFF once, then back to ON. After doing that, press space and the phone will reboot
5. Wait for the phone to reboot and connect over USB properly. Press space when ready.
6. Files will be transferred over and the phone rooted. If you don't get any errors, press space and wait for the phone to reboot again.
7. The phone should now be rebooted, and you can install Busybox and Superuser from the market.
I had trouble getting the Busybox installers to work properly at first – the stericson one would wipe su and require re-running the f05dsu.bat, and the jrummy one would simply not start properly. I suggest trying the jrummy16 installer first just to see if it runs. In the end I had to do things manually to get it installed, but once that was done both installers worked fine.
Part 3, optional, installing Busybox manually:
1. If superuser has been lost, re-root the phone.
2. Open up your favorite terminal application and enter the following manually:
Code:
su
soff
mount -o rw,remount /system /system
dd if=/data/local/busybox of=/system/xbin/busybox
chown root.shell /system/xbin/busybox
chmod 04755 /system/xbin/busybox
/system/xbin/busybox --install -s /system/xbin
dd if=/data/local/su of=/system/xbin/su
chown root.root /system/xbin/su
chmod 06755 /system/xbin/su
echo insmod /data/local/lsm_disabler.ko > /system/xbin/soff
chmod 755 /system/xbin/soff
At this point you should be able to do a "which su" and get /system/xbin/su as a response. If you don't get any response, Busybox is not properly installed (start over). Doing a "ls -ls /system/xbin/su" should also NOT return a symbolic link to Busybox – if it does, you'll need to copy over su from /data/local again. The same goes for soff. Once this is done, start up jrummy's Busybox installer to confirm the installed version of Busybox, and upgrade it if you want.

Thanks very much, worked well but sadly I managed to boot loop my phone after rooting it.
Now I need to SIM unlock the phone as the factory unlock code is gone.

F05D rooting
Hi there i have successfully rooted my Fujitsu F05D have root access but I can't seem to loads busy box, I have permission through superuser and it goes through the motions but at the end it says " install unsuccessful".
The files are in the system/bin folder but something is wrong. if I use busy box installer jrimmy16 it just say installing and keeps going and never stops if I got to to scripts and click fix file permissions
" run script" it too just spins round and round..
hmm any hints guys.

Don't do a forced install or whatever it's called, that's how I bootlooped and later SIM locked mine, still yet to send it back haha.

Hello, is this working?? I want to root my Docomo Fujitsu Arrows X F-10.. And also my phone keeps on rebooting Please help.. Any ideas why?

does it work on Fujitsu T-02D?

[HOW TO][GUIDE][ROOT] Prevent OTAs With Immutable Dummy Update.zip

PLEASE NOTE: This should work on any and every rooted device, but as always, there is a risk when modifying your devices.
First, I must explain what this guide will do and what you will need.
What we're doing.
1. We will delete the update.zip (if one already exists).
2. We will make a dummy update.zip that will not be replaceable or modifiable, even by the root user (unless the changes are reversed). This fake update file will prevent a legitimate update from downloading and installing.
3. [OPTIONAL] We will remove the annoying update notification.
What we're going to need.
1. Root. [duh...]
2. File explorer with root privileges a.k.a. a "root explorer". (If you need one, I personally recommend the free yet feature packed ES File Explorer.)
3. A proper BusyBox installation.
4. A terminal emulator.
5. A few minutes of your time.
***AS ALWAYS, I, XDA, XDA MODERATORS, XDA MEMBERS, AND EVERYONE ELSE ARE NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR THE CONSEQUENCES OF FOLLOWING THIS GUIDE. THE DEVICE YOU HOLD IS YOURS AND ANYTHING THAT HAPPENS TO IT IS YOUR FAULT. YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!***
The procedure.
-Part 1. (Only required if an update is already present. If an update is not already present, go to part 2.)
1. Open your root explorer and make sure that it has root privileges.
2. Navigate to /cache (a.k.a. the "cache" partition)
3. Delete the update.zip file.
-Part 2.
4. Make a new .zip file with nothing in it and save it as update.zip (make sure it is saved to "/cache" and nowhere else, not even in a folder inside "/cache"!)
5. From here move on to your terminal emulator.
6. Once inside the terminal emulator, type the following commands.
Code:
su
cd /cache
ls
chattr +i update.zip
From here I recommend that you check that it worked by typing in
Code:
lsattr update.zip
If the command works you will see a lowercase 'i' amongst a string of letters and/or dashes.
-Part 3. [Optional]
The annoying update notifications are actually Google Play Services fault. All you have to do is go to "Settings > Apps" and find Google play services and disable the apps ability to show you notifications.
That's pretty much it. Now I must tell you that you will still receive notifications saying an update was downloaded, verified, and is ready to install, assuming that you did not go through with part 3. All you have to do is click the install button, and let it restart to install the bogus update. The update process will error and all you have to do now is restart the phone. Nothing will have changed as the update file we created is empty and therefore will not change anything on your device. I have been doing this myself for a while now and have not had a single issue.
I hope that you find this useful and happy modding! :victory::highfive:
Message to Moderators: If this is in the wrong area, I apologize. Please feel free to relocate it to the appropriate area of XDA.

If you wish to undo this process, go into the terminal emulator and enter
Code:
su
cd /cache
chattr -i update.zip
From here you can check that it worked by entering
Code:
lsattr update.zip
At this point you can easily delete the file and allow your device to download your OTA.

Thanks, this will work until you wipe /cache so I created a more permanent solution HERE
