I've noticed a few posters on here are from N.Ireland and was wondering if any of you would root my phone? For a fee of course?
I'm a complete noob at this, I've spent the last four days reading guides and I just can't get it to work. Can get the tinycore linux working on my macbook but can never get past entering this in the terminal:
sudo mkdir /mnt/cdrom
sudo mount /dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom
cd /mnt/cdrom/desire After I press return here I get an error.
So I've now thrown in the towel and was hoping a local Android geek could help me out lol
Cheers
Joe
Are you using the TinyCore Live-CD from the MoDaCo guide or the r4 one posted by craigcrawford? the latter had an edited TinyCore build made which was slightly different to the normal one originally posted...
Have a read of this guide, by craigcrawford, never fails to work (so long as you download the right Live-CD - check your HBOOT and download accordingly):
http://android.modaco.com/content/h...sire-easy-rooting-guide-with-tiny-core-linux/
Thanks for the reply, yeah thats the one I'm using. Could it be my tinycore setup? I can't get it to boot from CD so setup a virtual machine on my macbook and ran tinycore through that.
Sorry if that doesn't make sense, I'm a complete noob at all this
Not being an Apple man I don't know if you can boot a Live-CD using a Mac but shouldn't see why not!
Also don't see why a VM wouldn't work but again I've always used a PC and it boots fine so might wanna see if you can borrow a Windows laptop and use that (or, if you're ever in Liverpool, come see me and I'll do it)
Ok going to try it again, I had already installed Linux VM before I downloaded the r4 and didn't know there was Tinycore ISO included with it.
So I've setup a new VM with the ISO from craigcrawford and I'm going to try it one last time. Just want to check something before I start, my phone is unbranded so I'm not using a goldcard do I need to put the rootedupdate.zip on the SD card before i start?

Correct, no Goldcard required. Should take about 10 mins all in (did for me on a W7 x4 Ultimate-based machine). Good luck!!
Cheers Eddy, here goes! I'll post how it goes!
Ok getting a bit further into it. Says rebooting into bootloader... FAILED
but then says Step 1 complete and gives instructions on how to continue.
I'm confused
Uploaded with ImageShack.us
Forgot to add, my phone didn't do reboot nor did the screen change at all
Yeah thats not working correctly...something's not right, be it running through a VM or otherwise...
I'd say it might be worth asking advice on (or taking a look at) the rooting guide on MoDaCo as more people there can help (and it works from within a Mac natively)

Ok Eddy thanks for your help mate.
Going to phone round a few repair shops in belfast and see if they can do it! It's really started to p*ss me off now!
Would they want to do it, though? I doubt they'd want to potentially brick your phone and have to buy you a new one
What HBOOT are you running on btw?
Well I know of one shop that jailbroke a friends iphone so I'm going to try them to see if they'll give it a go!
I'm running HBOOT 0.80
Right, here's a little guide for a Mac:
- First, download THIS and extract it on to the Mac equivalent of the Desktop
- Copy the 'update.zip' to your SD card - do NOT rename it
- Now open a Terminal window (go to Applications>Utilities, double click 'Terminal' icon) and change directory to the extracted folder. Turn your phone on holding down the back button and you should be in the FASTBOOT screen. Plug your phone into the Mac and it should then read FASTBOOT USB
- In the terminal window type './step1-mac.sh' (without ') and when it finishes it will take you back to the FASTBOOT screen. Press the power button and it will change from FASTBOOT to HBOOT USB
- Select 'Recovery' and when at the screen with the red ! hold vol up and press the power key.
- Select 'wipe data/factory reset' and once complete select 'apply:update.zip' and once this is done reboot the device and you should be rooted
"Now open a Terminal window and cd to the extracted folder"
Eddy I haven't a clue how to open a terminal window and cd to the extracted folder, thats why I was trying the Tinycore guide.
Sorry for being such a noob
*Updated guide above
Don't know what else to put as I'm a Windows man, never used a Mac
Ok think I understand that. Just waiting on the r6 to finish downloading then I'm going to have another crack at it!
Thanks for putting that together Eddy, much appreciated.
Joe, if you are still stuck I should be able to help you out tomorrow free of charge. I think your bootloader is the same version as mine (can't remember off hand) so I still have the files on my netbook to do it, or at least should have.
Still can't get it to work.
Kerso, I'll take you up on that mate, Where abouts are you?
Eddy, thanks very much for your help mate
I am a Mac user but rooting is loads easier on a Windows machine, had mine rooted in no time using a XP based PC.
To open a Terminal window, just click on the magnifying glass search icon type in Terminal and it will appear in the list of matches, just double click it.
CD = change directory in the terminal, that's all. ie CD to the directory where you downloaded the folder it to.
Trouble I had was that OSX was unzipping the downloaded file on completion, I'm not sure how to stop it doing that.
Hi everyone,
I'm trying to S-Off my HTC Desire and I'm having some issues with it. Whenever I try to use the tutorial on the download page and put in the first fastboot command then it fails and gives me an error message. I want to try using the zip file to update my HBOOT but I'm not sure of what I should do with it. Am I supposed to flash it using clockwork?
thanks
use alpharev
They are, but they don't get the process
To the OP, if you don't get it then it's not for you as the instructions are 100% self explanatory so if you don't know basic command line commands then perhaps it isn't for you. Read some more and if you have a question - Google it as everything can be found there

indeed but even worse
if he reads alpharev.nl he would see that the zip img and the fastboot commands are only available once you already have s-off and are for updates or changes
he needs to download the iso burn to cd and boot it.
I did this yesterday. Downloaded Oracles WM engine and just booted it with the live CD. Apart from a few USB issues a few retries i eventually got it right and that on a x64 Windows 7 main OS
After seeing lots of users struggle to root their phone with the existing guides (or worse, brick their phones), often times because of an inability to install/use ADB correctly (so they hobble together steps from multiple guides), I decided to write up a guide for rooting without the need for ADB. This guide uses the Visionary program to achieve temporary root and then gfree to achieve permanent root. Visionary is used only for the temporary root and nothing else (since many on these forums are wary of the app for permanent rooting). All of the gfree steps were scripted together to make things more convenient (and allow less room for user error in typing things in). This has been tested to work with multiple G2s and theoretically should work with the Desire Z as well (if you have the 1.72 OTA though, you will need to downgrade first in order to root as per the instructions in the wiki). All credit goes to the original developers of these programs and those others who aided in achieving root originally (I didn't add anything new content-wise, just bundled it up nicely).
WARNING: A few Desire Z users have reported being stuck on the HTC logo after following this guide. Without having a Desire Z myself, it is difficult to figure out why (since this simple automates known working methods). For the time being, I recommend Desire Z users obtain permanent root using one of the other guides out there.
Instructions
1. Install Terminal Emulator and a file manager (such as Astro File Manager) from the Market.
2. Extract the contents of the zip file to the SD card (this will create a directory called root_files on the card). When done, make sure you unmount your SD card from your computer if you had mounted it as a storage device to transfer the files.
3. Enable Unknown Sources (under Settings->Applications) and USB Debugging (under Settings->Applications->Development).
4. Using your file manager, navigate to the root_files directory on your SD card and select "com.modaco.visionaryplus.r14.apk" to install the Visionary app.
5. Start the Visionary app.
6. Click on "Temproot now." Leave all other settings unchecked.
7. Start the Terminal app.
8. Type the following commands (the $ and # symbols represent the command prompt and should not be typed):
Code:
$ su
# cp /sdcard/root_files/perm_root /data/local/perm_root
# chmod 777 /data/local/*
# /data/local/perm_root
You will see multiple messages scroll by as the programs run. Once you are returned to the prompt in terminal, you will have permanent root (S-OFF), as well as subsidy unlock and SuperCID. At this point, you can also choose to flash the engineering hboot as explained in the wiki. Flashing this hboot allows you to use the flashboot program to flash images from your computer to your phone (which can be very helpful when stuck in a bootloop for example). Note, this is often times the step that bricks people's phones when following other guides. To help mitigate the danger involved, I created a script that first checks the md5 of the hboot file to ensure it didn't get corrupted and then actually performs the flash (many times the bricking occurs because of a typo in this command). If you wish to flash the engineering hboot, type the following command in terminal if you have a G2:
Code:
# /data/local/tmp/flash_hboot
Or this command if you have a Desire Z
Code:
# /data/local/tmp/flash_hboot_z
If you get a verification failed message, you should re-download the files, re-extract them to your SD card, and run the flash_hboot script again.
If you don't want the engineering hboot, just reboot your phone. You can verify you have permanent root by holding volume down while powering on (you'll see S-OFF in the first line of the bootloader). You are now free to install a new recovery and start flashing custom ROMs. If you don't want to flash a new ROM, it's safe to uninstall the Visionary app at this point.
And if you are curious, you can open the perm_root and flash_hboot files in a text editor to see what they are actually doing...
thnak you bro man this was way better !!!
does this apply to someone who just bought the G2.currently on stock 2.2?

cool i guess 2 of my friends will be pleased to hear this cuz i'll be helping them to root their phones.
worked like a charm! sweet man, saved me a lot of time by making this thread and guide, definitely should be added to wiki or sticky thread.
I just bought a T-mobile G2 as well, and I love the phone as is, but I just want to root it, so I can over-clock the cpu just a little bit (maybe about 1Ghz is fine). Can I use this method and keep the phone as is? Or does this method delete everything and I need to use custom rom? I'm coming from original MyTouch 3G (without 3.5 jack) rooted with CM, but I am still a newb.

Once you root the phone, everything will stay as is. Here's a link to overclock to at least 1 GHz on stock ROM: http://theunlockr.com/2010/10/20/t-mobile-g2-overclocked-to-1-42ghz-how-to-overclock-your-t-mobile-g2/
However, it's required you first set up ADB.
I can't just download setCPU and over-clock? I thought as long as the phone is rooted, I can do that...

You can still download SetCPU, but just having the app itself won't let you overclock the phone. You can try flashing a different ROM and you'll be overclocked once you run that ROM.
Wait, but the recommended and safest way is still with Rage and GFree, right? VISIONary was found to do something with the phones file system that messes up some phones I thought, right? I thought that is why scotty2 made Rage, or am I wrong?

Rage/G-Free is still the safest but they both require ADB, which can be quite a hassle to install for many. True that Visionary has been found to mess one's phone up, but this method only implements the temp root procedure from Visionary (which doesn't require ADB) and the perm root procedures from Rage/G-Free for a more simple way to root one's G2.
so its more like the best of both methods then... i gave up cus i couldnt figure out the ADB but this way looks way easier so ima give this a try thanks for this
Worked perfectly first try. Thanks!
What exactly is kernel? I've seen some people saying they are running over-clock on their G2 with a modded kernel on stock ROM.

Search google for "Kernel Operating System"
What I meant was is it okay to just change the kernel and run stock ROM that came with my T-mobile G2? Would it not change anything except for the clock speed?

Different kernels can be compatible only with certain ROM's. Check on on the kernel before you flash to stock ROM
Alright kids I'll try to make this a simple as possible those of you that are scratching your heads and wondering why you cant get S-on to say OFF..... on the newer MT4G with bootloader 0.86.0000 HERE WE GO.
Step 1:
Download Androzip,Terminal Emulator,Root Explorer and Superuser
Download - Visionary11(yes its an old build, but its simple and less confusing for you noobs.)
Once you have these apps put them on you MT4G homescreen page(doesnt matter in what order just as long as these apps are quickly accessible to you.)
Step 2:
Make sure you go into Settings on your MT4G.
now that you have selected Settings select Applications Make sure that Unknown sources has been selected
On the same Settings screen you will also see Fast boot Make aure to deselect it!
Once the Fast boot has been deselected, select the Development you be transfered to another screen the only items that should be selected is USB debugging. Once you have finished this go back to you home screen.
Step 3:
At this point you should be at the home screen with all the apps you downloaded in Step 1.
Now Select Visionary, once Visionary is open select Set system r/w after root.
Now press Root Now!. let Visionary temproot your MT4G(CAN TAKE UP TO 10-30 SECONDS BE PATIENT!)
Ok that part is Done. go back to your home screen.
Step 4:
Select Terminal and type - su you should see "Terminal Emulator has been granted superuser permission", it will be a real quick pop up saying this. Ok you are now temp rooted. go ahead and select the hardkey arrow and press it until you get to the home screen.
Step 5:
With theMT4G's internet browser find the gfree file on the TRUE PermaRoot and the ULTIMATE S=Off!!! forum
Open the gfree file with Androzip, that you download onto your MT4G NOT with what your computers
unzips this file with!
Step 6:
Once you have Unziped the gfree file from your phone into your phone, you will need to locate and transfer everything that is in the gfree folder DO NOT TRANSFER THE FOLDER ITSELF WITH THE CONTENTS IN IT. Just open the gfree folder and transfer everything inside there. Time to locate where Androzip placed the gfree file
Open Root Explorer scroll down until you see the sdcard file, ok open it!
Scroll down until you see the AndroZip file open it! WALA.... I present to you the extracted gfree scripts. Now that your looking at them, I need you to select the Menu Hardkey Button which is next to your home Hardkey Button. Once you've pressed the Menu hardkey it will options will pop up on your MT4G screen, select Multi-select now select everything inside of the gfree folder.( youll notice the green checks when selecting ) you will also see another option of commands, select move
Now with move selected, navigate those files with the arrow hardkey on your MT4G to /data/local and paste them in that location. Done with that process! close your Root Explorer and return to your home screen.
Step 7:
Open Terminal Emulator and type the following:
type "su", and hit enter
type "cd /data/local" and hit enter.
type "chmod 777 gfree" and hit enter to make the program executable.
type "./gfree -f" and hit enter.
Wait for the program to finish and then reboot into HBoot you'll see that S=Off. Also, check your bootloader version. If it says s=off and has bootloader version 0.86.0000 it worked!
You will need to run visionary11 again (w/set system r/w after root checked and then press Root Now!) to make root privileges permanent and then reboot again. Now "su" should work properly for you.
This will work 100 percent if you read these instruction very carefully and follow these steps exactly!
Thats the same instructions from the gfree thread.
How is this different?
if this is the same then why the hell are people not getting it?! im seeing a lot of people regarding that the newer MT4G with bootloader .86 is extremely hard or damn near impossibly to S-off if this doesnt explain how to do it in lamens term then these people are true NOOBS and should stick with their STORM 2 stick with the basics and not with the FAKE Sh**t!. just trying to help
mine had bootloader 86 and it rooted just fine. People just need to follow the directions better.

You have the eng bootloader. Your better off with it.
Yes, ALL the MT4Gs (at least all the ones I've seen) come with the 0.86.0000 bootloader. There shouldn't be any reason for this preventing you from rooting. The 0.85.2007 is the engineering bootloader. You get this either by manually flashing it (as per the instructions in grankin's true permroot thread) or if you used the root.sh script (such as those of us who followed theunlockr.com's walkthrough).
If you aren't succeeding with the gfree method, either you aren't following instructions properly or something else is interfering. My friend couldn't get VISIONary to temproot, but after uninstalling one of his file explorer apps, all of a sudden VISIONary worked.
Same here. Got mine the 11th of this month and rooted first try no problem.

The method I used did include running the root.sh script, so that must be how I got the engineering bootloader. Thanks for the info.

That is correct... The root.sh includes the engineering bootloader within it and it is the better of the 2. I suggest installing it and you will not have any more problems.
SWEET! Thanks! I missed the other 50 threads with these directions!
Just a tip for people having problems rooting using the gfree method. Follow the instructions to the "T" and it works. As for the commands for terminal emulator...copy and paste them to a word document so you can be sure where there are spaces, and make sure that your 0's are not O's and so forth...Don't be afraid to ask for help, there are alot of nice people on this forum that will help you out.
thnx
thanks alot for this, idk why people on xda don't know how to speak in laymans terms, i guess it's to drive the noobies away, i've been around here since cyanogen had 3.0 on the G1, and i shyed away from using the gfree method on my buddies phone since it looked complicated (didn't want to do alot of reading and work) and i was just wanting to do it fast.
this thread simplified things for me so i can know what i'm doing, also i didn't want to download root explorere (dont' wanna pay $4) so i just pushed every file manualy using adb.

Hi folks,
Have been going round in circles trying to root and flash my mate's DHD. I've been reading various threads and trying various methods but to no avail.
His DHD was originally on Froyo 2.2 and he took the T-Mobile OTA update to 2.3 w/Sense 3.0 when it was rolled out. As I understand it, it must be downgraded back to 2.2 before we can get full root access?
I've installed SDK on my PC and have been able to push tacoroot and misc_version to the phone. However, when running tacoroot, it reboots to go into recovery and I get the red triangle with the exclamation mark. The phone won't boot into recovery manually either. I've already done a factory reset to see if that helped, but no joy.
What am I doing wrong? Should the phone be able to access recovery completely stock? I never had this much hassle with my Desire - can't believe the DHD is such a pain in the backside. He has the phone with him now (he needs it tomorrow) but we're going to re-attempt tomorrow afternoon.
Am I doing things in the right order? Why do I keep getting the red triangle when trying to go into recovery?
Your help would be much appreciated!
well, as far as i remember you need to downgrade to 1.32 specifically.
and another thing, have you tried using advanced hack kit? it is pretty much one click solution, but can be tricky if the pc it runs from is not compleatly clean.
Try this on an Ubuntoo live CD, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1259821

You have a couple of issues from the output you posted. In the beginning it couldn't find the zergrush files to temp root. This leads me to believe it was a bad download of kit. Did you verify the md5 for file integrity? And the second was an error with the SD card. You might want to try a different one

Checked the MD5 - came back fine. Have swapped the SD card for another one - formatted to FAT32 with nothing else on it.
Will re-run.
Still downloading the Ubuntu disc (!) so will try that in a mo if a re-run with a new SD card doesn't work.
Thanks for the input, much appreciated!
Edit: Exactly the same issue again. Will try it under Ubuntu.

That doesn´t seem to be an sdcard issue. Download the Kit again and extract it all in the same folder...The cases experiencing your issue are mostly for missing files in the hack kit.
Look this in the code you pasted: "...cannot open 'tools/bin/zergRush': No such file or directory..."

I guessed the issue with the missing files but he said the md5 check out.
I mention the SD card because of the line of error writing to mmcblk1. After the line creating goldcard, but you spend more time helping out in the irc to know better than me

Yeah, those are the cases I have seem, but maybe something different comes out....it is hard to know without the whole information...
Thanks to everyone who offered ideas and support; I've finally managed to do it.
