I was using superoneclick root thing.. just wondering
To unroot, just remove the "su" file from /system/bin/
If superuser.apk is in /system/app/ then it would be good to remove that first though
Nothing is lost, other than the ability to run as root

Hi,
i have Rooted my desire using standard unrevoked 321,
confirmed working in adbshell.
Installed superuser and Root explorer
Granted Root explorer rights in superuser
Went in to the root explorer.
Went to my desired location to delete in this case ringtone files to clear valuable space. System/media/ blabla
enabled r/w and deleted the files i wanted.
Now i come to the point that when i either press back and disable r/w or just exit the explorer in all my desire resets and the ringtones are back in place.
It seems that i dont get full control even though i have this confirmed using the Su and id command in sdb shell
Any clearafication would be much apreciated.
Regards

You need to have S-OFF in order to delete those files that come with the phone.
Check this http://alpharev.shadowchild.nl/ and http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=794314
Once you do this it should not be a problem at all to perform what you want to.
And the alpharev method is reliable and fast
clearing files in any /system/ directory wont give you any space anyway!!! only files in the /data/ directories will
You might also like to try cache for root users. It deletes all cache files
Thans for that. Im going to tinker around with these options

Hi, after i thought i had bricked my new defy while trying to do some stuff with Root Explorer, i realised that we could retain the downloaded stuff in the phone even after a hard reset. here is how to do it:
We will need the following:
1. Z4Root
2. Root Explorer
3. Apks (applications) you want to retain
steps:
1. root your defy with Z4root. There are other methods available too but i used the z4root (permanent root)
2. install root explorer.
3. install your apks (or if they are already installed then skip this step)
4. open Root explorer after rooting your defy
5. it will state that Root explorer is requesting for superuser access
6. accept superuser access
7. go to /data/app and locate the apks. click on Mount R/W. Use multi selet if multiple apps need to be removed.
8. go to /system/app and mount r/w. Paste the apks there.
9. IMP: Do not rename the installed app names.
10. You can copy (not move) root explorer to /system/app for the same purpose. Uninstall the Root explorer from Application settings once done -> this will remove root explorer copy from the /data/app and when you reboot your phone the copy in the /system/app should be loaded (at least that is how i did)
Let me know in case you are unsuccessful.
****ty ****ty fag fag, ****ty ****ty fag fag!
edit! how do you do? how do you?
I am not sure if you can push or delete any files or change permissions in the /system folder without the root access.
Just root your devise using many guides available here. You can tweak all those then.
meh.

Thanks for your reply. you're right, it needs root rights to do those things.
But I do have root, temporary root via the exploit.
I would like to do the roooting myself. all I need is to get one of the stock htc apps removed so I can move su to systembin. but I cannot remove those apps without the device rebooting.

The device reboots because you're s-on, and cannot modify anything on the system partition without a custom recovery.
This is a well-known tip, but it certainly couldn't hurt to aggregate it here.
Once you've installed (or blithely ignored) HTC Sync Manager, you don't want to deal with a file browser popping up every time you plug in your phone. To remove it:
Flash a recovery image (for example, CWM)
Code:
adb shell mount /system
adb shell rm /system/etc/CDROM.ISO
adb shell umount /system
reboot
enjoy freedom
should it be 'unmount'?
No, the command is named "umount"
I just deleted the CDROM.ISO with Root Explorer. I didn't need to reboot before I connected it again, it was gone.

Do you need to root access to delete that? I just tried with es file explorer and it wouldn't delete. I'm stock unrooted.

Yes you do... any root file explorer will do the trick, and it does ask for root access when deleting that file.
I figured that was the case. I was rooted so long on my rezound that I never had to worry about it.

Thanks I've been wondering why that thing pops up. I'll just use Root Browser to get rid of that.
I have a G3 with CM13 installed. For some reason, I recently moved the SU file from system/xbin to system/bin. because of that, I've lost root access and I can't find a way to put the file back in xbin without root. Is there a way to do it?
I've tried with the android terminal and with adb on my computer but with no success.
