I have rooted my EVo with auto root , so i didnt need to do much there., that was about 2 years ago., my roommate have an evo but seems that its newer than what i have.
when you go to bootloader has a lock and bootloader is 2.18..
i was able to unlock it , went to HTC site ... the instructions how it needs to be done ., so all good.
then you need to load some files run them all the way till these steps and iam stuck , just about the end
when you need to download the file super user from the market , which i did ., the it says after you install it
search busy ?????
and use one of the busy box installers and install busy box ...?
i dont know what busy means and where to find it., when i run the super user i dont see something or things called busy ., or to search for that ., can someone help here please
Yep its to install busybox. It allows Unix commands to be used on the phone, and also helps other rooted apps run a little easier with it.

here is the llink for the busybox installer from the android market: BusyBox try using that and see if it does what you need it to.
Ok great thsnk you , so what are the steps , I download it then what and how to work it, with supper user and the file I downloaded

Just download and install. Run, allow it with SU, and hit install and it does its thing, then your golden. It just needs the files stored in the phone. Occasionally you update it but only one in a great while.

Thank you again ., I did that , but the phone still can't do tethering or wifi , gives me the message I need to call sprint ..., I got all the files all instructions understood, except these at the end . Still.no root

First, I hope you have a custom recovery installed. Just in case you do not, I've attached one.
Second, you need to flash from RECOVERY (not download from the market) the superuser.zip file (not the app from the market). You need to place that on the root of your SD card (do not unzip it).
IF YOU DO NOT ALREADY HAVE A CUSTOM RECOVERY INSTALLED:
Place the recovery file in the folder where you have your adb commands. Open the command prompt from that folder, boot your phone into FASTBOOT USB (click on FASTBOOT from the bootloader) and connect it to your computer. Then type at the command prompt
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img <ENTER>
fastboot reboot-bootloader <ENTER>
Then hit the power button.
ONCE YOU HAVE A CUSTOM RECOVERY INSTALLED:
Boot into your bootloader (power off the phone then hold volume down + power buttons at the same time if you are in the phone's operating system) and go to RECOVERY. Flash the superuser.zip file from your SD card, then reboot back into your phone's operating system to see if that works.
Also,
to tether, you need a ROM with the hotspot already hacked, or use the wireless tether app that I also attached.
You can place it on your SD card, then install it from your phone's operating system with any file manager like astro, which you can find from the market.
or,
you can place the app in the same folder where you have your adb commands, open the command prompt from that folder, have your phone connected to your computer, then type at the prompt
adb install wireless_tether_2_0_7.apk
when i try to install the wi fi ., it says program not installed ?., is that because i cant get it rooted right .??

No.
Ok sorry, I see that app does not work with the file managers. The easiest way is to run the adb command that I posted above with the file inside the same folder as your adb files. Another way is to try this attached app with the file managers instead.
Also, how are you doing with the superuser?
No go still clear iam not doing ok., the recovery image i didnt reinstall since i can go to recovery ...the menu..etc , so i think iam set there ., i installed the efghi super user file on card and reinstalled and done .. reboot evo all ok., went to market downloaded busy box , and superuser app.
both installed , go to super user and to preferences , then su binary ,hit update all green ....
i hook up phone cable to pc charge ..disk drive ..i say tether ., then a window say you cant ...sprint you need to contact... well no go., since my old evo dont give me this message when i tether .
the app for wifi cant install it., but ill work on that when i can tether
what next ?
First off, SuperUser is running and you had some apps ask for root permissions correct?
Now are you running a custom ROM or just Stock? If its just stock, the hotspot isn't hacked so that's why your getting the contact Sprint. Try using the Wireless Tether app from Lemon and Muller.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.googlecode.android.wifi.tether
That should work for the hotspot in your phone if everything is rooted correctly. I've never tethered straight from my phone to my computer, but Google should help you find an app for that.
Edit: if you can't install the app, you need to download the .apk file. That's the work around since most carriers try to block these apps from being seen and downloaded typically. Shortydoggg gave you the .apk so you should be able to install that without any trouble...

Regarding the apps asking for root permission , not sure there., but it is a sprint rom , stock this phone never been worked on before.iam going to try this tether app. If it doesn't work that means iam not rooted still., no. how can I tell of busy app is hooked up right.and or the supper app , the settings....etc since everything else is done.

Try root checker basic from the market. It should tell you whether or not you are rooted.
yeah its telling me iam rooted ., but know with the wifi i was told to download its working ., but cant tether from cable or sprint wi fi ., maybe because its stock rom ., anyhow great to start its going with this ., keeps crashing but it works . thank you all
Also, you may need to check your computer's wireless network settings and delete any previous profiles that may have been saved that tried connecting to your phone. They can interfere with any new settings and prevent the wireless tether apps from connecting. You still need a custom ROM with the hotspot already hacked if you expect to use the one from Sprint.

So this morning, i was going through tons of tethering apps and i noticed alot of them do not work properly. Even when you rooted your G2. So i came across wireless tether and it was the only app that worked correctly.
this guide is NOOB FRIENDLY !!!!!! EVEN A CAVE MAN CAN DO IT ! LOL
Heres how you get it to work,
1) root your G2 . theres a one click root app called Visionary in the market. Download and install it. Before you run it, make sure USB DEBUGING IS ON !!!
2) Start the app up and press the button that say don't root on start up.
3) Once that button is pressed, the option will change to (Run on start up) and it will have a green light under it. Do not press the button again!!!! This will always root your phone every time the phone turns off and back on. It will run by itself.
4) Download/install Astro Manager
5)Download the attachment that is posted on this thread. Just below.
6) Once downloaded, Mount your phone to the computer and then copy and paste the file(which will be named app.apk) to your memory card. Now unmount your phone
7) Open up astro manager and install the file. Which should be named APP on the memory card.
8) Once installed start the app up and it will ask for super user permission. Just press allow and then you are tethering wirelessly !!!!
TETHER AWAY !!!!!!!!

What apps did you have issues with?
Here is all I did
1. Downloaded and installed VISIONary from Market
2. Downloaded and installed Barnacle from Market
3. Launched Barnacle and hit start and allowed SU permission.
4. Was tethering with my iTouch in minutes.
In the end things can be odd on different phones of the same model so options are great.
barnacle didnt work for me. It wouldnt appear on my computer on psp or ipod. it wasnt working at all.
But this method worked for me so i advise people to give it a shot

I usually just download the first apk. But i forgot one step. Open up app, Go into settings and click "access control" to enable it. Do NOT put a WEP encryption password. LEAVE YOUR CONNECTION OPEN!!! Heres why. When you connect your laptop to the wifi, your phone will get a notification saying (mac address blah blah) it will be red most likely. Click menu-then access control. The mac address of your said laptop or device is what the notification popped up. So go to access control and find your devices specific mac address and make sure the box next to it iz checked and you must click apply at the bottom. You just gave your laptop or device internet. If say your neighbor connects to your wifi, dont worry. The ONLY way they can get internet off you iz if you go to their mac address of their device, click the box, and then apply it as well. If you dont apply it, they dont get internet. So YOU control who uses your internet, not a password. Another reason why you dont want to set up a wep encryption iz because if you do, you wont be able to use wifi. Dont know why. Just happens. So try it for urself.
Need more help? Let me know

I have been using z4root for a while. Today when I pressed wireless tether I got a message. Unable to tether is your device rooted. I am using version 1.3.0 I tried reinstalling the software. That did not work. When I root my phone it says I am rooted when I press wireless tether I get serveral messages the first one says sorry but your kernel does not have all necessary features for running this application. I tried pressing ignore then I got message that this application will not work properly. Then I get message that says unable to start tethering is your device rooted. My software z4root says I am rooted and seems to work. Yet the wire less tether does not see that I am rooted.
Yesterday I got the update message on Android incredible. But it did not work. Got the not enough space message. I did move a lot of my apps to my sd card could this be the problem? I also have enabled acess control in wireless tether app. Also enable wifi encryption is checked? I still have version 2.2. Please help me I love using this.

Your default connection type has to "charge only" and "never ask". Also, you have to check "unknown sources" under settings>applications, and usb debuging has to be checked.
Have you installed the adb drivers on your pc?
Also htc sync can not be installed in your pc when using unrevoked.

Yes! Flash a custom Rom and Kernel and you will see a great improvement on battery life. The best kernels I have used with great battery performance are Incredikernel and Gingertiny. Do some research first then start flashing, and make sure you do a backup before flashing anything.

When you back up with recovery it backs up your entire phone to the clockwork folder on your sdcard. It is highly recommended that you copy the backup folder to your pc on a regular basis just in case something goes wrong with your sd.
Ok just downloaded clockwork. Haven't really done anything else with the phone since it is rooted. Other than get wireless hotspot.
I am just learning about Roms and Flashing. What OS system would you recommend for the incredible. I installed Rom Manager. That is where I got clockwork from. Seems like an easy program. Do I need to erase anything on my phone manually before I put a new OS system on it?
Never mind just rebooted and everything is there.
Just backed up my sd card. But Now it shows empty on my phone and it says sd card needs to be mounted when I open ROM manager. How do I get my stuff back on the SD card? I just copied it to a file on my computer. I do not understand what happended to everything on the card.
PLEASE HELP
I clicked on clockwork recovery it went through the process. When I look at the clockwork file on my sd card it does not say anything about a back up there are some files in download folder is that the backup? Is there any OS that I can install that won't wipe the phone clean? And if I do wipe the phone how do I put back my stuff like ringtones etc.
There are a ton of things you can do to save battery life... Search the threads and you will find a lot of info....
Some things to start with... Turn off phone finder, use ROM toolbox to increase WiFi scan intervals, use sleep mode at night, don't use ES file explorer, etc
Lots of options

So, I heard some while a go that it is possible to have flash in GIO. Me being a totally helpless with tech I asked my friend of a friend of a friends cousin to ROOT my phone. Well that went smoothly, I did not get flash on my mobile´s websites but instead I can´t connect my Gio to PC via USB... NUTS!
And "the Friend" can´t help me no longer...
So here are the problems, I can´t connect to PC, no matter what. Tried de-buggin, un-installed drivers <-> installed drivers. Nothing...
Also I have that app I don´t really want ( or do I?), called SuperSU which is´nt working, says something about "binary needs to update -> Fail". How the h*ll i´m gonna get rid of that? Is that app that lost my USB-connection? Did I do it?
So could some one please tell me, 1) How to remove SuperSU-app or how to fix it (I you think that I should have it). 2) Any ideas how to solve USB-issue. 3) If I need to install any app´s, softwares and so on, links would be great. Working ones...

Ask for more information if you need it, i´ll try to explain the best I can, english is´nt my language. Me no enklish, me finnish.
... Is it possible to have flash on GIO?
superSU is the app that gives away root acces to apps and to the system.
you need to use wifi or 3G and update the binairy
for usb, make sure you fully disabled Kies and killed it with the task manager

Still no connection, I can connect NOKIA with usb-cable, the cable recharges my Gio but no luck with connecting... I quess that damn thing is broken.
I´ll focus now on removing that superSU, which will be a weeks job at my skills...

Just tried that one, correct me if I´m wrong but unrooting is done by using unroot.zip (the one for superSU)? because that did´nt do the trick. For now I have done unroot.zip, wipe all data from phone (to factory re-set or whatcamacallit), boot-> voilá, theres that superSu still, version 0,98 if I recall.
I know that the bigges problem is in front my laptop´s screen, AKA my face, but as I earlier stated, me no computers.
I wish someone would make an app that removes all of these root-thingies and gives you a free nokia 3310

Yep, if you mean flash´ing is done by the the method of power+"that large button at bottom of my phone" and install update->unroot.zip then yes, app won´t go. Do I have a wrong file?

You mean that SuperSU (the one with cyan droid with red cape) and Superuser (the one with green droid and a eyepatch) shouldnt exist in a same phone? This is going straight to the twilightzone.
If you are confused, quess how I feel:laugh:

Here´s where I´m at now, SUPERuser says: su binary vlegacy (0) -rwsr sr-x root root System/bin/su. When I do update I get this: Checking installed version:Legacy(written in red), Gaining root acces: fail! (allso written in red).
SuperSU says " The SU binary needs to be updated. Continue?" -> "Installation failed!".
Busybox installer says my device is rooted
Root checker basic says Sorry! This device does not have proper root acces.
Got root says "Successfully located ´su´(superuser) on the device. Failed to obtain root privileges through ´su´.
Honestly, I don´t know is my phone rooted or not

may be your root access was lost, try to root the phone again.
Ya, unrooting and rooting again would work.
I had a similar problem after a factory reset.
maybe something wrong with your device. not in the OS. CMIIW

i don't think it related with hardware, root is related with software (OS).
Right, here´s where I´m at. Now my phone IS rooted, it also have android 4.0.4 and CyanogenMod9 :laugh:
Done some fidling you see...
But still no connection via usb, I´m starting to think that it is a hardware-related problem. It does charge my phone, but no connection for file transfer.
So for now I will be happy for these settings.
Just need to get the a2sdgui working propely, can´t move apps from phone to sd.
Thanks for all of you´s for help :angel:

maybe its more a pc-related problem too, reinstall drivers and make sure KIES is not running(deinstall it) and try on other pc's too.
have look at this for Apps 2 sd on ICS

I think there's no problem with a rooted phone. You just need to do some homework before you started at it. Let me help you by explaining you some words and some help.
Root: when you root your phone you are able to flash roms on your phone.
Recovery mode: the menu that you get when you touch the on button + the OK button.
Flashing: installing a rom.
Rom: a kind of system on your phone. After rooting you can put these on your phone like iOS or
ICS.
When you are rooting your phone, you need a new recovery mode: Clockwork mode recovery. You can install this as the same way like flashing a rom. After that you can apply the update.zip package. Now your phone us rooted and when you reboot your phone you have a new app: SuperSU (or superuser) This app gives apps permission to other apps. Now you are able to flash any rom you want. Just google on: roms for /thenameofyourphone/ and you get enough results. Some roms are really great and are smooth and have a nice theme like android 4.1 or ios. Just download the rom. Put it on yor sd card. Go into recovery mode (clockwork mode recovery). Backup current rom, do a factory reset, wipe cache and install the rom. After flashing you must reboot your phone and ENJOY!
You can also download link2sd which allows you to move ALL you apps to your sd card. By the way. When you have rooted your phone it isn't bad but you have to read very much and after a while you will understand everything and you will enjoy your favourite rom.

And by the most roms you are also able to connect your phone to your pc so the problem is solved

hotkeys?
Hi all, i got this old phone (Samsung GT-S5560) with a phonelock on it. The question is how do i do a hard reset with the buttons or how do i get the recovery mode with the buttons? I cant find it on the net.....
For my final year project I'm creating an Android app. As i'm sure most of you are aware the Android emulator is incredibly slow and so I want to run the app on my phone instead each time. I know you can do this usually but as my phone is rooted and running a ROM (that isn't stock), it doesn't give me the option to run on the phone when I run the project (I know you can usually do this because my friends unrooted phone works fine). Is there anyway I can get my rooted phone to work or will I have to revert to stock?
Many thanks
You might be better off in another non device specific forum.
But in general, yes, it can. The only thing a stock ROM can do that a custom one can't is consume more resources, battery, and space than necessary.
Do you mean to install an app? Just tap on the .apk file on a file manager or something and it should let you install.
Go into developer options and click whatever needs to be checked. If you run adb devices and it shows up, you should be able to install it on your device. If you are using eclipse the option should show when you try to run the program.

No, I mean just running the app like I would through the emulator without installing the .apk file on the phone.

When I adb devices it wasn't showing anything so I downloaded PdaNet and this re-installed the correct drivers for my phone. It now works :victory:
You cannot run an app without installing it ..
when u use the emulator on pc and and connect your phone via datacable to run your app on it , the emulator actually installs that app in your phone and then run it ! most probably u r not confused with this ...
I've had a few apps tell me that I'm not rooted and my wifi tether no longer works (laptop doesnt even see the network. Tried changing and using another tehtering app and it saw it but only gave me limited connection. No internet.) but when I put SU into terminal emulator it returns #.Can someone please tell me how to check to make sure my root is still fully entact and functioning.
Try opening the superuser app.
Thanks for the fast response man. I really appreciate it.
I did and it didnt do anything so I cleared the permissions for it aaaaaaand think i made it worse. in super user I scrolled down to the wifi tether app and clicked it and hit the trash icon withouth thinking it through. IS there a way to manually add allowed apps. I also noticed SU never prompts me to allow apps anymore. Really holding up my ingress progress. lol

Just run any app that needs root and it will prompt you again. You cake also download root checker from play store.

Thank you too eles. I actually just did that and it told me I dont not have proper root access. But Terminal emulator does show # when prompted. Can either of you tell me how what may have caused this and how to fix it. I did just get the 4.1.1 update from T-mo so Im thinking maybe that.
Reflash superuser with your recovery.

Yes do this or Odin the prerooted one. The update broke it.

Thanks again aero. I reflashed it and Root checker still says im not. I also tried to run fix permissions and it says an error too.I also tried to do a back up and it hangs on "done freeing up space". What would be your next step to diagnosing/fixing this. and Thanks again you guys I've been freaking out a little. lol
Just re-root.
Then reflash your favorite ROM.
How did you root in the first place?
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda premium
Is it really that simple? Won't there be some issues because I have a somewhat partial root already? I honestly don't rememeber my original method. I did it back in september and havent messed with it since. I never even ran any roms I'm still bone stock. Is there a method you would suggest? or possibly a link to it?
Yes, it really is that simple.
If root still isn't working, follow instructions in my signature. The su zip is also going to wipe out any previous superuser/supersu that is present on your phone.
Alternatively, if you already have CWM on your phone, you can use this http://db.tt/okfh9vzU to update it without tripping your counter.
Thanks to your guys' help I was able to reroot using the tool kit. Now my issue is that I did this to fix my wifi tethering issue and its not. What app would you guys suggest for tethering? I dont have it on a part of myplan but I know theres ways around it. Wifi tether and barnacle didnt work (wasnt seen by laptop or other s3) and fox fi was identified, let me connect but said it was limited, then eventually went to fully connected but still wouldnt load pages or anything. If I can get one of you guys to help me solve this by suggesting an app or something I'll get out of your hair.
Do I need to load a custom rom to tether maybe? Thanks again guys.
