I've read through these forums and even had a coworker who has done this for a while try to help me, but still not able to get it.
I followed the guide here
It works perfectly step by step using ClockworkdMod Recovery.

My only need to do this is to use the Wireless Tether. I downloaded it from code.google... site (i did search for the one compatible with the EVO). But I'm getting this error:
I then followed this link here to unroot the phone which worked fine.
I then attempted the guide again with Amon Ra recover, and i'm still getting the same issue. I've even downloaded Root Explorer to try and remove Superusers, but it would not give me overwrite ability because it said i was in read only (unrooted) status.
Any help or suggestions would be VERY grateful!
If you're s-off, you need to flash the Superuser zip through recovery, or flash a rooted rom. Without Superuser (and possibly busybox) installed, you won't be able to use root apps such as wireless tether or root explorer.
I did flash superusers through the recovery, but it never asks for permission when I start the tether.
I did this on my Samsung Epic, and it would always state SU was giving permission. I'm getting nothing on this.
You have to flash superuser apk and binary for superuser to work and u need to make sure u get super user efghi from androidsu.com and the matching efghi binary then go to the superuser app and update binary to make sure u have the latest to function properly
Edit: u will possible have to flash a custom kernel to get access yo wireless tether as well or you could simply flash a rom with the hotspot hack and have no need for wireless tether at all as sprint hotspot will work then

Hi, I've used the auto-root tool posted in the development section. I'm currently running rooted EK02.
I want to know what the best method is for going back to stock EK02 so I can apply the OTA update to EL29.
I would prefer not to have to use ODIN, but I'm not sure if I have any other choice.
Any help would be much appreciated,
Thanks.
Did you use the auto root tool to install Clockworkmod and root access, or just root? If you just rooted, then I think you can unroot using the same script, and just selecting a different option. I think if you installed Clockworkmod, then you'll have to Odin back to stock in order to get the stock Android recovery for the OTA update.
Edit, yep, the auto root script created by sfhub allows you to unroot.

If all you did was option A (root), there is no need to unroot, the el29 ota update will install fine. If you installed cwm using option C, then simply rerun auto root and use option C to installl the stock ek02 kernel.
The ota update doesn't care if you added files, which is what rooting did, it only cares if you deleted or modified files in the rom or the kernel.
Now if you made other changes to you rom using your root powers, deleting or modifying system files, including removing bloat, then you are going to need to undo those on your own. Easiest way is usually to restore a cwm backup you made right after rooting and installing cwm.
If the changes are too extensive and/or you don't have a backup, consider using the pre-rooted el29 package in my signature. Since it isn't a patch update, it doesn't care what you have installed.
Hi guys, anyone have a trouble with executing su in adb or trying to mount rw in system with root explroer? It just refuses to even though root check says I'm rooted.
I need this to get a newer version of CWMR and such...
That's strange, I have zero problems getting root in an adb shell, and was able to remount /system as rw both on the device and via adb. Have you opened the Superuser app and checked to see if it needs updated?

Can't gain root access for some reason. Can you link me to a superuser zip you used?
What process did you use to get superuser? Mine is working fine.

That's weird. Maybe it was a bad su flash? I had a problem before where it said I was rooted but titanium backup said I wasn't.

Rooted here, was as simple as flashing a superuser zip from CWM. This is the zip I used, I downloaded several to find one that would work and I honestly don't recall where I snagged it from, so apologies to whoever I stole it from.
I'll be setting up my fstab to swap the internal and sd card now, and restoring everything I use from TB.

I didn't bother to use the latest version as I was just replacing it with the latest SuperSU once I had root, and it worked just fine.
It gives me status 0...how'd you get it to flash?
Edit ugh also without my SIM card in there's no power menu or lock screen l

Flashed without issues in CWMR 6.0.0.1, nothing special needed... *shrugs*
did you use the one i posted? if so it worked for me.. but im using CWMR 5.0.2.7
Okay lets say im on stock everythings 100% stock and i want to flash a custom recovery kernel that has init.d support, custom boot ani support, and add blocking ect..... ok so i flash it lets say........then i lets say i revert back to my stock recovery and kernel......okay now here is the question.......is there anyway i can clean up what the custom kernel installs? Is there a need to clean up? I want to add my own tweaks so i dont want anything bumping code or have multiple code in my phone i want it nice and clean.
Thank you
Your question is confusing but bottom line if you want to start fresh do a clean installation.
Why anybody here would want a stock setup is beyond my comprehension.
Exactly my point i want it fresh and ill do my own thing but i need these custom recovery kernels to gain root or when i need to flash a zip in cwm so after im done kernel riding somebody else is work please take all the belonings with you brought with you when i flash you out. Its in view of my comprehension that these builds dont have a fresh way to gain root access for example like using one click root or an apk to root. they made them in the past before for us sgs2 users.

Use a pre-rooted Odin one click and you get root w/o recovery. There are rooted 1clicks all the way thru fi27. If u use a no-data version all your apps and settings will remain after flash.

Ok now I understand a little more what you want. I think you should spend more time reading and browsing the development sections for more info. I think Agat63 has been packaging stock kernels lately for those who prefer this.
lol yea.. theres plenty of ways. ifor one use mobile odin whenever i need to fllash a kernel.. you can switch between all the kernels you want and maintain root

I'm trying to set my phone back to stock for an ATT warranty exchange. I had previously rooted with Casual. I used a unrooting app, then used a couple apps to verify I didn't have root. Most apps didn't find root, but one found busybox. I looked for it, and low and behold it's there in system/bin, and protected of course, so I can't delete it. How do I delete it? TIA!
Busybox app on the playstore allows u to install and unistall...

Thanks, I had tried that, but because I'm partly unrooted, I can't even get past the busybox alert screen telling me I'm (obviously) not properly rooted.
Here's the screenshot:

Can't you just flash a stock rom?

How do I do that? I am decent with technology, but have to have clear directions.
Thanks so much! You are all awesome.
Check to see what your phone says about the flash counter, in download mode. Also check if it says it's modified . I have done a warranty exchange a few times with no problems. I always went on download mode, I don't think they are going to use that specific app at the warranty place. After going threw the warranty so many times for black blobs. I'm almost curious if they just check to see if it boots stock with no issues. And gets thrown in a bin that says '' fixed''. Because I've gotten the same phone twice lol.
Anyway, Goodluck, and don't worry about it so much. It will be fine
Thanks for the help! I got it sent back and it was showing not modified when I got it back to stock.
I really have no big need for root besides being able to use WiFi tethering. I had rooted my phone before but went back to stock and got OTA Lollipop 5.01 but now foxfi is broken and really miss the capability. Not willing to pay Verizon for bandwidth I already paid for. I booted to recovery and it says I have s-off.
My question is: what is the simplest way to get the root. I really am not into spending time with daily builds etc. Just want my WiFi!

Put TWRP back on the phone again. Download the latest SuperSU to your phone, and flash it in TWRP.
Flash what? I have twrp and SuperSU installed.

You asked the simplest way to root. If you flashed SuperSU, you are rooted.
OK, I'm confused. I have the SuperSU and twrp GUIs installed. Is this something I do in recovery?

Did you only install SuperSU app from the Play Store? If so, that in itself does not give you root. You may be able to root the phone by opening the app, and picking the option to install the SU binary. But to be honest, I've never done it that way, so I'm not sure.
The way I've always done it (if I'm not using a custom ROM, which are already rooted) is to download the SuperSU zip. Here is the latest stable version: http://download.chainfire.eu/696/SuperSU/UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.46.zip
Than just boot into TWRP recovery, select the Install option, then browse to the SuperSU zip and flash it.
Got root, not tether
OK, I got it together to install TWRP via fastboot, and have SuperSu installed. CheckRoot says I have root. Unfortunately, I can't install the EnableDefaultTether.zip which worked with 4.4.x The zip I have seems to be dated May 15, 2014 although that might be when I downloaded it.
Is there an updated version of this for Lollipop on Verizon HTC One M8?
Thanks
Well I could not get the old wifi hack to work so I sprung for wifi tether router ($5). It works fine and worth the money since the old hack does not seem to work on Lollipop.
Is there an update to the write to external sd card hack for Lollipop?
