[MOD] 3-Click QuickTempRoot TerminalMOD :/

Alright all,
I know there's another thread about "easier" method, but this is easiest for me. 3-Clicks after installation.
I was really tired of typing the same crap over and over after rebooting just to get my temproot back to do more testing/playing.
So I redeveloped this to be quicker/easier upon reboot. Mainly I altered the Term app to be have a scripted start-up on the 1st 3 launches.
I also updated the su/Superuser combo with ChainDD's latest stuff.
Here's how it works, after it's installed.

1) You run the terminal app once, wait a few seconds and it disappears.
2) You run the terminal again, wait for it to FC.
3) You run the terminal a final time and receive root.

Now on each reboot, it will be simply 3-clicks (running terminal app 3 times).
Finally ... any executable script placed in /data/local/tmp will be in the path of the new terminal mod. This makes running other scripts very easy.
Installation
Download the attached QuickTempRooter.zip and place it in a directory and unpack it.
Turn on USB debugging and install through adb ...
Here's the adb installation snippet ...
Code:
adb kill-server
adb push su /sdcard/su
adb push Superuser.apk /sdcard/Superuser.apk
adb push busybox /data/local/tmp/busybox
adb push rage /data/local/tmp/rage
adb push root /data/local/tmp/root
adb shell chmod 0755 /data/local/tmp/busybox
adb shell chmod 0755 /data/local/tmp/rage
adb shell chmod 0755 /data/local/tmp/root
adb shell 'pm uninstall com.android.term'
adb install Term.apk
Has made my life wayyy easier when playing with this phone while we wait for the real-deal!!!
Hope you enjoy!
NOTES
If you get a permission denied on the ''adb shell 'pm uninstall com.android.term' '' ... this is normal if you don't have a terminal already installed or have an alternate terminal app (using a namespace other than com.android.term.
If you have another Terminal App installed, you may want to uninstall it first, to avoid confusion.
Also, you may need to reboot after the initial installation for it to work properly!

ummmmm.....Enomther??
Did you get a G2 already?
Great to see you helping out with this

Great to see you here man! Trying this now can't wait to get themes rolling once we get permanent root!

If you didn't already have a terminal app installed that error is normal. Also you may need to reboot once after the initial installation for it to work properly.

Welcome Home..

thank u so much now i can wireless tether. easiest root ever

Sorry, this is my first Android. I came from WM and I was pretty good with it.
I've searched XDA, Youtube, and web to ADB and SDK. I've downloaded it and it's installed. The only thing I don't get is when you said to
"Download the attached QuickTempRooter.zip and place it in a directory and unpack it."
You mean place the extracted files into the sd card correct? That's why the command is "adb push su /sdcard/su".

No, he means on your PC. You are running adb to push files contained in the zip to your phone.

So they go into the tools folder? Damn. I think I've in over my head here.
Like this?

If you have better terminal, you can also add the rage and root to specific keys.

At this command I'm getting told "failed to copy 'su' to '/sdcard/su': Read-only file system"
adb push su /sdcard/su

Unplug then plug ur phone back in then try again also make sure u are in usb debug mode

Good work, Temp root in like 5 seconds

Quick question, ok I was able to get root for a few mins, then it went away I guess I have to have the terminal always open or ignore so my taskiller doesnt terminated it?

Don't use task killers. (IMHO)
But I tend to have to reboot every once in a while to keep root in tacked within terminal but all my apps seem to stay with su permissions until reboot (or sometimes 12 hours)

[Q] Regarding ADB

A bit of background, I rooted my phone using one click 2.5. I then re-rooted using one click 3.X to convert to ext 4 and update to the latest recovery. I am currently running an eb13 rom.
Now my question, I have SU apk and I can boot into recovery, but when I open adb shell and type su I get "permission denied". Any idea what could cause this? I need to run the script for screen rotate fix, is there something I can flash to get around using adb? BTW I have experience using adb from EVO. adb shell works I have SDK installed etc its just I cannot adb shell with root priviledges.

Are you hitting allow on your phone after you type "su"? Yo have to wake your phone up and you'll get that pop and you ave to cluck on allow before the timer counts down.

That is exactly what I had to do, thank you!

Doh!
.........

Lol yea definately a doh! moment....

[Q] Rooting Help

I apologize if this is already answered somewhere. I searched everywhere and could not find anything, but I might be using the wrong wording.
Anyways I am attempting to root my G2. I have managed to get adb onto the computer and it recognizes my phone. However, the next step in the wiki says to:
ON YOUR PC: Unzip the gfree_temp-root.zip files to a folder. From a cmd window or terminal, navigate to that folder and execute these commands:
$ 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/*​
However, it gives me error messages such as 'adb' is not recognized. I'm sure I am missing stupid but I cannot figure it out. Thanks in advance.

Just use visionary, it is much easier. Click temp root and when it is done perm root

I don't trust visionary. I want to go about this the safest way which is the gfree method.

Make sure that the adb (and other stuff tha got installed) is in your PATH environment, or cd to that diectory and work from there.

I checked the path a few times because I thought that was the problem. However, it all looks good. I'm going to try on another computer tonight and see if that helps.

Did you make sure that all the necessary drivers were installed?
When you type 'ADB Devices' does it show your phone?

I used visionary and terminal emulator and haven't had any problems at all.

Yes it shows my phone when I type 'ADB Devices' That's what's causing my confusion. I've reinstalled all the drivers that are needed. From what I am seeing it SHOULD work.

[Q] ADB PUSH : Permission Denied (AlphaRevX Rooted)

Hi Guys,
I have rooted my Wildfire with AlphaRevX long time back and i tried many different ROMs.
Currently i have installed JokerDroid4.2 ROM.
When i start adb shell its going to normal user($) but not root(#) and when i type su in the shell its going to root(#).
So, when i want to push files to /system/app using adb push its throwing exception of permission denied.
I have seen many threads regarding this problem but couldnot find proper answer to my problem.
Workaround im using is pusing my files to /data/local and after getting root access using adb shell and su im moving it to /system/app
(OfCourse throughout the process /system is mounted as re-write)
Please solve my problem..
EDIT : I allowed the superuser to give permission to adb shell when i typed su command but when i use adb push its not asking me for permission from superuser.
Thanks,
Sandeep

You need to set permision /rw ,to system folder via root explore,then do adb push

Have you already tried "adb remount"?

This should indeed solve all your problems. Just type that command, wait for the "remount succeeded" notification and than try to write in your system folders.
The reason is that your /system is not mounted as read/write (r/w) when you boot your phone, but as read-only (r/o). So afther the remount command /systemfiles will stay r/w, but when you reboot your phone, it will return r/o again.

Help - Unroot and restore Hboot without working usb

my incredible 2 has a broken USB (started smoking while charging) and i have received my new replacement phone
my phone was rooted with revolutionary hboot. the software is back to stock but the revolution hboot is still on the phone and therefore stuck with s-off
is there anyway to remove the revolutionary hboot WITHOUT usb? everything i have read says usb is needed.
-is it possible to run the adb commands through terminal on the phone?
-what would need to be different for adb wireless?
help?

Yes, just run the adb commands in a terminal emulator without the adb shell in front (type su first), or you can connect to adb with the ADBWireless app on the play store.

As I stated before, the phone is currently UNrooted after flashing that zip. I was, however, looking at this process, more specifically sectoin 3 ( http://theunlockr.com/2011/10/14/how-to-unroot-and-return-the-droid-incredible-2-back-to-stock/ ) and was wondering if I can do these steps in terminal on a nonrooted phone?
Do you have any suggestions on this?
They have a zip file listed that includes files like "psneuter" and "busy box" - where could/should i put these on the SD card?
Do i type this into terminal...will it move these files to these locatoins without root?
push psneuter /data/local/
push busybox /data/local/
push hboot_0.97.0000_336906.nb0 /data/local/
chmod 777 /data/local/psneuter
chmod 777 /data/local/busybox
/data/local/psneuter
dd if=/data/local/hboot_0.97.0000_336906.nb0 of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p18
