[Q] Gaining Temporary Root For G2 - G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I am trying to root my friends phone, and using http://theunlockr.com/2011/10/25/how-to-downgrade-the-g2-desire-z-desire-hd-and-mytouch-4g-back-to-froyo/ to downgrade the G2 which is on 2.3.4 Gingerbread. I tried to use P10IMG.zip, but it said "Update Failed!". On that guide, it says to download fr3vo, but wherever/whenever I download it, it always seems to give me a file with no extension that can't be extracted or executed. Any help regarding this or in helping me root the G2 would be much appreciated. (Sorry for noob question).
Thanks.

Fre3vo is something that is run on the phone though shell (via adb). You don't need to do anything with it in windows.
Code:
> adb push fre3vo /data/local/tmp
> adb shell
$ chmod 777 /data/local/tmp/fre3vo
$ /data/local/tmp/fre3vo -debug -start FAA90000 -end FFFFFFFF
I didn't read through the full instructions, but they seemed to be the same as the ones here.
It isn't a one click temp root. Did you push fre3vo over to the phone and execute it via adb shell?

I'd stay away from visionary if I were you! Its messing up just as many phones as it is rooting them!
part of the problem is that a visionary method is stickied in one of these subforums... that needs to be taken down desperately and replaced with gfree/rage.

Yes I am in the process of using ADB / RAGE method....I run in problem and I could use someone help please...
TEMP ROOT
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/*
===========
All the commands are working except
$ adb push rage /data/local/tmp/rage
the reply I get after input the command is
Cannot open 'rage': No such file or directory
I have search the web for help...but I could find help on that issue
SO please if anyone knows what I am doing wrong could you please help....
thanks
unzip the gfree_temp-root.zip again and make sure it extracted rage.
rage IS in there, I just downloaded the zip and opened it and looked.
yeah, look for a file called "rage". if it's there, you didn't get the proper directory. you have to get to the "gfree_temp-root" directory on your computer, and THEN adb push it

Well, start all over but once you get a root (a #) for the first time, rm -rf /system/xbin then reboot the phone, then start all over again and see if that works. for some reason you have a /system/xbin FILE, not a directory.

well that's a problem, if /system is read only you can't lock in root
do this before you rm that stuff (remember to be at a root # prompt)
mount -o remount,rw /system
then rm the stuff, then start the root process over.

[Q] Downgrade 2.36.405.8

I have a Desire HD with Gingerbread running. I wanted to root my phone, but it seems it is impossible without downgrading.
I have read the tutorials on this site, but every time I type a ''push'' command, I get a very big list of words, like ''Android Debug'' etc. When I have completed all the steps the resul is a $...
I have also tried the GingerBreak method, but when I do so my phone acts very strange, it won't read my SD card until I reboot and when I start Superuser it says that Superuser has to be closed.
Also I have the downgrade folder, but I think the one I have is for Froyo devices, because the Psneuter file is in there, and no GingerBreak.
So, does anyone have a clear tutorial woth download links for the files I need???
I have searched Google, xda, and lots of more sites, but I really can't find any help.....
Thanks for reading,
Desley
Ok,
Firstly you will need to downgrade following this
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=905003
If you are running a branded phone then you need a Goldcard
Found here
http://www.addictivetips.com/mobile/how-to-make-gold-card-for-htc-desire-hd/
Then follow this guide to get root and Radio s-off
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=857537
Then if you want to have eng s-off (to flash radios)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=855403
I had the same problems you are encountering , as long as you follow the steps through it should go well , of course if you get stuck let me know and I can guide you through it as well.
I have this problem to but i have the right downgrade map with gingerbreak in it. Yesterday i tried 100 of times and at last i got # but i coulden't write anything more in cmd but the # there. NOw today i tried agian with theese steps http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=13367691&postcount=1134
But now i get the Su: Permission denied and nothing pops up in my phone saying do you allow this. What should i do i'm running 2.26.405.8
I have tried the Gingerbreak app to with all the steps but the circel that's spinning keps doing that for like 15min and nothing happens. And yes i have done the factory reset many times and tried agian. Please somebody help
Ok , have you followed all steps I provided above?..
Some things to note are that between each step reboot , it helped me to wipe my sd card.
Have you got the htc sync drivers installed? (make sure htc sync is closed!)
Are you provider locked/is there network bloatware on the phone in which case you would need a goldcard?
If poss can you provide a screenshot of what you have for me and I can help you more

Nope my phone is not branded, fully unlocked. I have htc sync i have everything i need from the tutorial. When i have done this
adb push misc_version /data/local/tmp
adb push GingerBreak /data/local/tmp
adb shell chmod 777 /data/local/tmp/misc_version
adb shell chmod 777 /data/local/tmp/GingerBreak
And then write adb shell i get a $ then i write su and i get permission denied
Then i start all over agian and try
adb push misc_version /data/local/tmp
adb push GingerBreak /data/local/tmp
adb shell chmod 777 /data/local/tmp/misc_version
adb shell chmod 777 /data/local/tmp/GingerBreak
adb shell /data/local/tmp/GingerBreak
Then i get things to work and i come to the# but then i can't write antthing more, it's just locked. And everything have passed but one of the lines is like message something failed. And in Su binary voutdated i tap to check for updates in superuser and it says there is a new version of the su binary press Ok to update i press Ok. Then it says An eroor occurred and su was not updated. A zip file, (su-2.3.1-bin-signed. zip) has been placed in your sdcard please reboot into recovery mode ans flash it to update your su binary.

Hi, I'm Maaria, and very very new to all of this!
So I have a desire HD which is locked to all networks except orange. I really want to root my phone so I can customise it and such, and I want to unlock it. I know I need to downgrade and stuff but I don't know how to do this. I mean do I have to get a gold card because it's locked to orange or do I just do it? And I don't even know how to get to the cmd folders or anything :/ I have no idea what to do, I've been looking all over the forum, and internet, this was the best thread I found but its still a bit confusing, for me. :/ I'm really sorry for being a complete idiot when it comes to this stuff but can anyone please help me? I really want to learn how to do it, I'm just totally confused with what to do

Ok ,
Firstly everyones new to this at some point , gotta start somewhere.
You are correct you will need a goldcard to downgrade which is in one of my links above
Cmd= command prompt , you can type cmd in your search bar in windows and it will bring it up for you , our find it in your accessories.
Something important to note, if you've upgraded to 2.3.7 downgrade is not possible at the moment , but keep an eye out as I'm sure it'll happen.
Any questions can pm me and I will help as I struggled for some time and picked up a lot of info from the site .
Good luck

You do not have to create GOLDCARD if your device is not branded (orange, vodafone and such), so you can just use your regular sd card.
that guide works 100%, just read carefully.

Not a problem, i like to help when i can. just hit the Thanks button
I have similar problems. My latest problem being when i follow the gingerbread part cmd codes, I get to the last one before temproot and it does its stuff.. the only # i get is at the start of the results being "fre3vo by #teamwin"... the last thing in the results, is says "running exploit" then waits for my next command...
so i try the second to last command (cd /data/local/tmp) after you get the # ... Which im pretty sure i didnt because i get "path not specified" !! i think it may just me being dumb somewhere along the line..
but any helps appreciated!
if you follow those guides i linked you can't go wrong. be sure to follow step by step and read carefully.
Ok.. well il give it another go... i'l create the goldcard again.. i didnt bother doing that after the first time.. i thought once done it was done. but i may have mucked up somewhere so from scratch is the way forward..
Thanks
p.s im 2.3.3 is fre3vo the correct option?...
i saw on another forum, in the cmd codes it was gingerbreak rather than fre3vo or psneuter.. if im doing it wrong where can i get the gingerbreak file ?
Thanks again!
Eventually got downgraded to stock 1.32.. now perm rooted.. next CUSTOM ROM!
there ya go i told you it will work

[Q] DHD - Stuck struggling to get perm root

Hello guys,
Before posting, I did try/read/search how to get to a Cyanogen 7.1 on my Desire HD.
I have tried following these two guides:
here http://driphter.com/index.php?topic=3867.0
and here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=905003&page=222
1) I have built a GoldCard because the device is ORANGE branded
2) I have copied the PD98IMG.zip onto the GoldCard...
In the first case, following the driphter tools, the device undergoes the Loading PD98IMG.zip but goes back to the same boot screen, never reboots. Terminal Emulator CANNOT get su
In the second case, I can go through all steps of ADB. When I do it the first time, I get a $ at the end. As soon as I repeat the *same* procedure, at the end of
Code:
adb push misc_version /data/local/tmp
adb push fre3vo /data/local/tmp
adb shell chmod 777 /data/local/tmp/fre3vo
adb shell chmod 777 /data/local/tmp/misc_version
adb shell
./data/local/tmp/fre3vo -debug -start FBB00000 -end FFFFFFFF
I get #
Now, here is where I am lost: as soon as I get # using the method above, I follow instructions to reboot. When I attempt SU in Terminal Emulator, I still cannot get it.
Final target for me is CyanogenMod 7.1 + radios + RIL but so far this has been VERY tough, and I am quite comfortable with a lunux command line
I am 99% certain that the problem is something wrong I do, but cannot post in the original thread (newbie), so I am hopeful that someone can help here.
GOT IT (what did I do wrong)
Hello guys,
I managed to get CM7.1. on my device.
I made several errors along the way, which I only realized when I started over following WORDforWORD what is in the guides.
So, my mistakes (hopefully you avoid):
1. Buy a dongle and plug your microSD as a drive - trying to use your phone as a reader/dongle is a 50/50 disaster.
2. Build a GoldCard - even if just as a precaution, build it - third time is a charm, at least for me it was;
3. Be patient and follow METICULOUSLY what is in the guides - God, I am not sure this can be stressed enough. Simple letter or a slash omission and you need to start over. Practice makes perfect, I tell you that
I am now on the next step - radio+RIL but cannot find a guide which would allow me to do both. Could someone please recommend a decent HOWTO which explains how to do both Radio+RIL?
Thanks

[Q] Guide for beginners CWM

Hi to all,
lets say I never expect to create this thread, Im not begginer, but all my current or previous phone was much more user friendly than this one. Samsung is soo easy to root, older mobiles with WM are just made to play with.
All I want is to install CWM recovery...
Ive red all threads regarding root,but I never make it work on my Desire Z, can be someone so kind and help me or just let me know what Im doing wrong?
My soft. version is 2.42, 2.3.3 android
1. Unrevoken method
When is installer downloaded and installed Unrevoken screen appears, I connect my phone but nothing happened,I tryed all modes when USB connected but it was never connected. What Im doing wrong?
2. Visionary method
When installed all works fine. I tryed temporary root but phone was freezing and got slower,simply it doesnt work on my phone.
3.SDK tools
I understand that phone needs to be downgraded.
Installer installed, newest version, just dont understand how I have to connect my phone with computer, how to enter orders in cmd, because always is just error message.
Galaxy S2 rooted in 10 minutes, Galaxy R with one crash when phone was bricked, 60 minutes...older WMs phones...many...but Desire Z...
Check this guide strawmetal compiled, http://minus.com/mu9vZ3P38/2
its prety user friendly

Thank you...everything looks fine. But stucked on something called fre3vo. This sentence is probably wrong...
/data/local/tmp/fre3vo -debug -start FAA90000 -end FFFFFFFF
cant get thru
Are you getting some sort of error message?

I guess there is problem with spaces....in guide is few spaces in between orders.
For example:
adb push fre3vo /data/local/tmp
adb shell
chmod 777 /data/local/tmp/fre3vo
/data/local/tmp/fre3vo -debug -start FAA90000 -end FFFFFFFF
This is text copied from guide...but if you copy-paste orders in cmd, they just doesnt work and for example by the first one have to be deleted betweek fre3vo AND /.Otherwise it doesnt work.It have to look like this:
adb push fre3vo/data/local/tmp
adb shell
chmod 777/data/local/tmp/fre3vo
But with last one I dont know what to do.
When I enter sentence it just show up:
/data/local/tmp/fre3vo: not found
See attached file with cmd.
that massive amount of txt when you run
'adb push fre3vo/data/local/tmp '
Is adb telling you how to use it.
if it pushed properly, you should get just 1 (or maybe 2?) lines of output telling you how fast it pushed.
All the spaces that are there are meant to be there, if you look at the chmod line you can see its showing you how to use it, with a space clearly defined.
