I cannot enter any SU commands in TE since I updated to 3.29. Ex. Reboot and reboot recovery - get "Not Permitted" error message. Anyone else?
Thanks!
I just rooted using the latest Unrevoked (3.21).
The process indicated success.
But attempting "su" in an effort to manipulate "perms" results in "Permission denied".
Does this mean I am not actually "rooted"?
Or do I need a something in addition to being "rooted".
I seem to remember something called "Super User application".
Is this a requirement? If so, where might I find it?
Thank you for all your time and consideration.

You can download Superuser from the market. Skull and crossbones icon.

Thank you for your reply bender1077.
Is this app required in order to make changes like deleting apps and stuff on a "rooted" stock ROM?
Thanks again.

If you are using an app that requires Superuser permissions yes. Depends on how you are removing the apps. I always delete through ADB.

Thank you again bender1077.
I used Unrevoked 3.21 to root it. When it had completed, I found that SuperUser was/is
now installed, and available on my HTC-EVO-supersonic.
On the downside, when prompted by SuperUser when I launch Terminal Emulator to allow
su (root), I answer YES. But when attempting (like you) to delete apps, or what-not,
I'm told "read only file system". So the attempt fails.
Seems we're having the same issue - no?
Thanks again.

You have to remount in -rw in order to delete apps iirc.
I'm not trying to delete apps through TE, I do that through ADB.
BUUUUUTTTTTT.... Please just go into TE, and see if you are able to enter a simple command like reboot, and confirm if it works on 3.29.
I still get "not permited!" error.
It is funny that TE has permitted mispelled by the way!
THANKS!

Greetings bender1077,
Code:
% su
message from SuperUser:
permission granted to Terminal Emulator for su
# _
# reboot
permission denied!
# _
I hope that made sense. Superuser granted permission to me
to su. I got the hash in the upper left hand corner (#), indicating
I was root. But as you can see, I was not granted permission to "reboot".
HTH

Oh boyzie!
OK... I will run Quick Boot for reboots, and reboot recovery for the time being!
Thanks,
Hey bender are you nand unlocked? I don't know if that would make a difference.

Yes.
Worked fine on 3.26... there has to be an issue somewhere ..... /system/bin/toolbox?
Titanium Backup says "error could not acquire root", yet I "am" rooted???
Ok, so my v2.1 evo was rooted using Unrevoked 3.21, I install Titanium Backup this morning and when I launch it an error comes up that says "Sorry, I could not acquire root privileges. This application will not work. Please verify that your rom is rooted and includes busy box and try again."
Whats the deal wit this error? Unrevoked said it was succesful.
did you download busybox? when you open TB hit the problems? button. download busy box and try again.
you can also verify root by downloading terminal emulator and opening it. when its open type SU and hit enter. # means root. $ means no root.
Be weary. I used unrevoked3 for mac on a froyo Evo. I'm having some issues currently. Be careful before you proceed. You should download ROM manager as well. Once you download busybox perform your backup. A friend recommended Appbrain over Titanium Backup. Once your done with your back up, reboot into the bootloader and try to go into recovery to perform a nandroid backup. If you select recovery and it takes you to the htcevo 4g white screen and nothing happens, you're having the same issue as i am. I wouldn't recommend flashing any radios or roms yet. I'm working with some other members to try to figure this issue out. Apparently this is why other experts don't like unrevoked3.
There might be a missing pc36img or unrevoked forever might need to be install, but I don't want to lock my phone into root with unrevoked. From my understanding, if you use unrevoked forever, you wont be able to unroot.

What about any other app requesting root? Like setCPU or ShootMe? I'd install one of those to confirm root. If it works then you might you need to reinstall TB if not well then root was not properly achieved.

Ok, so I did update BusyBox, and now Titanium Backup doesnt show the error, also installed Terminal Emulator when you launch it the 1st line of text says"
$ export PATH=/data/local/bin:$PATH
$
On the 2nd line where the $ i typed SU and hit enter and it goes to the next line and displays # is this what its suppose to do?
Thanks
Ok, here is some things for you to try.
1. Make sure you are using the latest version of TB.
2. Make sure you hit Problems? and download Busybox 1.60 (whether or not the ROM you have is using 1.60 or not, do it anyhow.)
I assume you did those two based on what I read. So here is what else to try.
Upgrade Superuser to the latest version, then update the binary. Make sure Titanium backup is not blocked by going to Superuser and there should be a green circle next to TB, if it is red that means it is blocked. If it still doesn't work, remove it from Superuser and then have it ask for permissions again.
If STILL not working, take out your battery for around 10 seconds, plug it back in and try again. Lastly, uninstall and reinstall TB then do these steps all over again.
That is a bunch of stuff to try, see what happens and hope this helps

That's exactly what it's supposed to do. $ is the prompt you get when you are a regular user. You get # when you are root.
If you type 'id' (without the quotes) now, you should get:
uid=0(root) gid=0(root)

I launched Superuser, the one with the little niña guy, and it showed TB and the emulator both with green on the right side, but no idea how to "update" superuser, seeing as all appears to be ok should I still update it? If so, hoe would I do that? If not then I guess now my next step s finding the best 2.2 ROM that still keeps HTC Sense, any recommendations?

Yep. That's what is supposed to happen. You are root when you have the # prompt.

You can also do it manually. Download a terminal emulator such as, umm, Terminal Emulator, and type in
Code:
su
fix_permissions
oh cool thx for the quick replay guys!!!!!!

Might be something wrong with your permissions! Does this happen with other apps or just the gallery?
Try one of these....
1. Bring up the Terminal APP....Type
su
fix_permissions
If you don't have the terminal app and want to do it via ADB
type this in via ADB
adb shell fix_permissions
From Recovery
In Amon_Ra's recovery, the fix_permissions script is run by selecting the 'other' menu then selecting 'Fix apk UID mismatch' .
In CM-1.4 recovery, it must be run manually from console (alt+x on G1) or adb shell, as above from terminal except 'su' is not needed.
Once you get done fixing permissions do a reboot and you should be golden!!
2. Boot into recovery, wipe and re-flash the MIUI rom again and that should fix your problem!
3. Post this same exact question in this forum and see if someone running the same exact rom you got can duplicate your problem and fix it!

GOOD LUCK DUDE!!
Followed all the instructions on team venum's page but cannot get this to work, after searching i found a bunch of fixes which none worked. I placed in system/bin folder and after getting su permission i enter "superfreeze" and it gives me a "superfreeze: Permission denied" same with superdefrost. I tried entering the PM commands myself but at the end i get a "df: /mnt/.lfs: Function not implemented" & "df: /mnt/secure/asec: Permission denied" "[1] killed pm disable com.samsung"
Under the hood:
Calk's 2.8.1 rom
Rouge "hitman" 1.5.0 kernel w/ -75mv
v6 supercharger 1000hp option
for me i manually place all the files where they need to go in my rom the bin files in the bin folder and the system files in the system folder and then i run the superfreeze commane in terminal emulator...which it sounds like u have tried...
what i have noticed is i get permission denied on the things my rom doesnt have and the only one that actually goes through is system update
from my understanding...you really dont need superfreeze...not with calk's rom because everything that it freezes is not included in the rom... calk already removed drm, media hub, social hub, and i believe sns...the only thing im not sure he disabled is system updates...i am currently on a different rom which is why i still get system notification updates...and why this script freezes it...
with all that being said i would assume that the reason this is not working is because there is nothing for it to freeze...calk already removed it...you dont need this script not with calk's rom
Disable Updates
If you just want to disable updates go into terminal emulator and type "su" hit enter, this command gives you super user access. then type "noupdates" this should disable all updates. to enable again just type "update". I hope this helps!

sweet dude i hope this works because i just noticed that even though i have updates frozen like i can visually see its frozen....i still get update notifications
after running noupdates
Oh, btw if after running no updates you get the ota update message click accept and then let it try to update. It won't be able to so just reboot your phone and you'll never get that message again.

i tried running the noupdates and it errored out said the file didnt exist any suggestions
can i click on the system update message when system updates are frozen...will that make it go away?
That's strange, when I do it it reads "updates from com.Samsung disabled"
And yes once updates are disabled accept the update it will try to install and then fail.after that you just reboot and you'll never receive the update again.
