[GUIDE] Permanent root on Desire Z 'the clean way', using rage

This thread is copied and modified from the G2 thread by trigeek for the Desire Z:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=834228
Apart from the changed hboot and wpthis-Z kernel module for the Desire Z instead of the G2, I have also updated the su-binary and SuperUser.apk to the latest version by ChainsDD
In no way I can be held responsible for any bricks to your phone. You are using this guide at your own risk!! I did test this guide on my own, and also on a friend's Desire Z.
As there was no manual rooting guide for the Desire Z, I posted it myself in order to help others that do not like visionary and like to do it 'the clean way'.
[GUIDE] Temp to permanent root on Desire Z, using rage instead of visionary
=================================================
There's already a guide here for obtaining permanent root using VISIONary, but some folks in #G2ROOT are having issues with the way that VISIONary modifies parititons. Using rage directly is a bit cleaner, since you know exactly what it's going to touch at each step of the way. I did NOT come up with any of this on my own, I'm building completely off of work that others have done. Speaking of which-
None of this would be possible without the tireless work that scotty2 put in. He stayed with the project for well over a month, through lots of smashed hopes and dead ends, until the solution was finally found. Were it not for his work, as well as the help of a few other key folks- we wouldn't be here. He deserves our thanks and some donations! We're talking hundreds of hours of work here, a couple bucks is not too much for that. His paypal is:
[email protected]
Send him some love! I'm not asking for anything myself, because I spent a half hour putting this together, and that doesn't deserve any donations!
DESIRE Z ROOT INSTRUCTIONS
=================================================
These are modified instructions based on the ones posted at http://bit.ly/g2root that use Visionary. A number of people have run into issues with the way that Visionary juggles around temporary partitions, and using the original root exploit is a much easier, and cleaner method for achieving permanent root. This tutorial will walk you through the rooting process by first achieving temporary root, and moving on to permanent root.
REQUIREMENTS
=================================================
•Visionary disabled at boot or uninstalled completely
•Android Terminal Emulator app
•ADB
•desirez-combined-root.zip (Attached to this post)
In the commands to run below, $ or # represent the prompt and should NOT be entered as part of the commands.
VERY IMPORTANT!
Visionary has caused filesystem corruption for some users during the rooting process. Before attempting the instructions below, make sure that you have "auto run on boot" turned OFF, and reboot your system. Since you will not need visionary anyway after this, you might as well just uninstall visionary and reboot NOW before doing anything.
TEMP ROOT
=================================================
ON YOUR PC:
Unzip the z-temp-root files to a folder. From a cmd window or terminal, navigate to that folder and execute these commands:
Code:
$ 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/*
ON YOUR PHONE:
1.Launch Terminal Emulator
2.
Code:
/data/local/tmp/rage
3.Wait for the message: "Forked #### childs."
4.Menu > Reset Term - Terminal Emulator will exit.
5.Launch Terminal Emulator, it Force Closes. Launch a second time, and you'll have a root shell
6.**NOTE**: in the original directions from the XDA thread, you are instructed to run the /data/local/tmp/root script here. DON'T do this just yet. Leave the terminal window open.
PERM ROOT
=================================================
ON YOUR PC:
unzip z-perm-root and navigate to that folder. There will be four files. You will need to push two of these to your phone: hboot_7230_0.84.2000_100908.nb0 and wpthis-Z.ko. The other two files are optional for checksum verification.
Code:
$ adb push hboot_7230_0.84.2000_100908.nb0 /data/local
$ adb push wpthis-Z.ko /data/local
Optional but might came in handy:
Code:
$ adb push md5checksum /sdcard/md5checksum
ON YOUR PHONE:
You should still have terminal emulator up, at a root prompt. Now run:
Optional but recommended:
Code:
# /data/local/tmp/busybox md5sum /data/local/*
You should see:
hboot_7230_0.84.2000_100908.nb0 2ce1bdd5e4c1119ccfcecb938710d742
wpthis-Z.ko c73c5e77c91d306c418983c002b60b93
In case your hboot or wpthis-Z.ko file do not have the same md5hash as shown above, DO NOT CONTINUE. This means your file is corrupt or you are using a different file, for example the one for the G2 instead of Desire Z.
Now, let's turn off security for permanent flashing:
Code:
# insmod /data/local/wpthis-Z.ko
init_module 'wpthis-Z.ko' failed (Function not implemented)
That means it worked. This next step is CRUCIAL. You must make sure that you are writing to the proper partition here or you could brick your phone. To be absolutely clear- the partition is mmcblk(zero)p(one)(eight)
# dd if=/data/local/hboot_7230_0.84.2000_100908.nb0 of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p18
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
You should see some messages indicating that it was written.
Code:
# /data/local/tmp/root
This will lock in root, and give you 'su' access in the future. Next, run:
Code:
# sync
Now wait at least a minute, just to be safe. After waiting, reboot your phone using the power button. After it finishes starting up, launch the terminal emulator, and type 'su'. You should get the prompt asking you to grant permissions. If you got the prompt, congratulations! You have permanent root!

Nice guide, thanks

Thank you Mr Q. works like a charm!

first of all.. thanks for this great guide. Everything went perfect until I came to the step to lock in root. After the command "/data/local/tmp/root" I get this error:
mkdir failed for /system/xbin, File exists
when I just ignore it and type sync after that I have no root acces after a reboot.
Does anybody have a solution for it? I have already done a hardreset with the same results.
thanks in advance...

So this only roots your phone? Or does it s-off as well? From what I understand this s-offs as well because you're pushing the hboot as well.
EDIT: Nevermind. I read the thread again and it does indeed s-off as well.

having the same issue here

So I'm looking into these S-OFF and rooting threads and here is two bricks too. Does anyone have an answer for these two or should I skip this? Did the hboot do this or was it due to some problem in inserted kernel module? (I.E. the reboot of the emmc controller resulted in a ****ed up file system?)

Ok, so I have figured out how to get out of this "quietly brilliant" loop.
First of all, this isn't a brick and all that is needed to fix this is a quick factory reset from the bootloader.

Ok, so does any one have an explanation why this happened?
1. It wasn't wrong or screwed hboot, otherwise we would be facing a real brick?
Was it the root method? Was it the wpthis-Z.ko?
It might have been the kernel module, but I can't be sure about that with so little knowledge I have. (sure not the module itself but the kick to the emmc?) Just that it seems to be more likely option than a rooting attempt on a cached r-o file system?
I'm not complaining about the guide, it is specific and easy to follow but I would really love to have these semi bricks etc inspected more closely. It is not really helping to encourage ppl to root and try safe-off when we have unexplained bricks and semi-bricks around

Did you guys run Visionary before trying this "rage" method of rooting ?

I don't know about others, but I didn't on mine. I was rooting it for the first time. Also, I don't know if this has anything to do with it, but I have the Bell version from Canada.

The root script threw an error for me too, so just to be safe I opened the script and typed in the commands manually. If you have problems with the script, just run these commands from the root terminal on your phone:
Code:
/data/local/tmp/busybox killall rage
mount -o rw,remount -t ext3 /dev/block/mmcblk0p25 /system
mkdir /system/xbin
/data/local/tmp/busybox cp /data/local/tmp/busybox /system/xbin/busybox
chmod 4755 /system/xbin/busybox
/system/xbin/busybox --install -s /system/bin
cp /sdcard/Superuser.apk /system/app/Superuser.apk
cp /sdcard/su /system/bin/su
chmod 4755 /system/bin/su
mount -o ro,remount -t ext3 /dev/block/mmcblk0p25 /system
sync
"mkdir /system/xbin" just creates a directory, if it already exists you can ignore this command and proceed.
Hope this helps someone.. Thanks to the OP for the scripts.

Have a quick look, /system/xbin already seems to exist on my phone too.
So is there an error in the script ? e.g. needs to ignore if the directory already exists ? Or am I (we ?) missing something ?

Good info, thanks. Perhaps just comment out that line of the script, to save running it all by hand (and therefore be prone to more error ?) ?

I did that first.. it threw more errors with the mount commands because I'd already run the script once, so some of the commands were repated. If it's your first run through, commenting it out would be fine.
I only did it line by line so I could see any more errors for myself and decide if they were important. As it turns out the script is very simple and only involves moving files around and changing their permissions.. anything that goes wrong should be immediately apparent even if you have no experience with shell commands.

Thanks, I was starting to worry about the bad experiences outlined above, given that this method appeared to be a more reliable one than VISIONary, and a route I was going to go down. But I'm pretty comfortable with shell scripts, so your input makes me feel a whole lot better !

Yay, I just perma-rooted my phone using this method, many thanks to those who came up with the method in the first place, plus this handy guide too.
I got the message about /system/xbin already existing, but you can just ignore that message, it runs the rest of the script anyway.

So after doing the guide you simply reeboot your phone into bootloader and select factory reset?
And then will the device be perm root and s-off???

[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

Then follow this guide to get root and Radio s-off

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

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

[MOD]NOOBS Flash the Eng 85 H-Boot and CWM 5 the easy way!!!S-OFF ONLY(UPDATED 2/04)

Hey All,
Here are some PD15IMG varients. This is great for noobs who are unsure about flashing the engineering boatlader wich is highly RECOMMENDED as well as a custom recovery. Once you have achieved s-off use this file to continue your rooting process. Again this only works for those of you that currently have S-OFF!!!!
You may ask why do I need an engineering bootloader the answer is you technically don't. However, it can be your last line of defense against a soft brick and is strongly suggested by any experienced modder!!!
I have included 3 separate downloads. The first file contains ClockworkMod and the engineering bootloader. I did not offer a separate file containing just CWM 5 or just the bootloader due to a few reasons. One being I believe everybody should have the Eng. bootloader and second being this offers a true flash of a custom recovery where Rom Manager does not. If you would like just one or the other open up the zip file and delete the desired file. The second file is the most recent update offered from T-Mobile. That file will give you the update unrooted and as it is intended from T-Mobile. However, it will give you an eng bootloader with CWM 5 instead of the locked bootloader and stock recovery. Allowing you to return to another rom or previous nandroid backup. The third file is for if you ever want to go back to a stock splash image or yours begins to fail. Finally, I also added thee new ClockworkMod touch recovery with the eng bootloader for the last file.
I am not responsible for anything that may happen to your device please proceed at your own risk. I have tested this myself and it works just fine. However, if something were to happen to your device don't blame me
1.Download which file you want
2. Rename it to PD15IMG and place on the root of your SD card
3. If using the second file make a nandroid backup first.
4. Boot into H-boot and apply the update (by holding volume down and powering on the phone)
5. Once the update has finished either re-rename the file to something different or delete it from the sd card otherwise you will keep installing the update
AGAIN THIS IS FOR S-OFF ONLY​
BLINGO BLAMO You now can either flash your favorite rom or restore a previous nandroid backup
The downloads

I hope this helps some of you out and relieves those headaches you had!!!!​

So this flashes the engineering bootloader, the latest ClockworkMod recovery, and the OTA Gingerbread ROM all in one shot? I've never heard of such a package, pretty cool! :thumbs up:
EDIT: I read it again, and apparently it's just the bootloader and recovery. Still pretty cool!

You're welcome, glad to help propose the idea.
How about a second version that flashes only the ENG HBOOT & CWM but leaves data/system as-is? That might also be useful for some folks.

Ah excellent, I see you edited a second version into the top post.
I will keep this method in mind any time I see someone ask the same question about an HTC phone with S-OFF. It all seems to work the same once security is removed.

I'm sorry to be so dense but can you tell me how to:
"3. Boot into H-boot and apply the update"
i thought i needed the eng bootloader to apply updates
I understand that i can enter hboot by starting up while holding [power] + [volume down], but beyond that do i choose fastboot or recovery or image crc or what?
Thank you for your patience! You have been super helpful and generous!

You do not need the Eng bootloader just s-off. Once you rename the file and it is on the root of your sd card. Power off the phone and turn it back on holding volume down. The phone will the check for the file and prompt you asking if you want to apply the update. To say yes you then press the volume up button and the phone does the rest. This will give you the clockworkmod custom recovery and the engineering bootloader

Might be helpful to reiterate: after you've successfully applied the zip, rename or delete the file from your SD so you don't accidentally apply it multiple times.

TYSVM for your help,
I feel ashamed to ask for more help but i am stuck again
i suppose i am an ADB sdk noob,
I ran the pd15img.zip successfully then I went to load CM7 following the sdk directions here:
http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/wiki/TMobile_myTouch_4G:_Full_Update_Guide#Method_via_ROM_Manager
(great easy to follow command line tutorial, thanks so much!)
but i am stuck again :
after:
"... Make sure USB debugging is enabled on the TMobile myTouch 4G by checking Settings » Applications » Development » USB debugging.
6. On the computer, open terminal and run the following commands:
adb push busybox /data/local/tmp/
adb push gfree /data/local/tmp/
adb push hboot-eng.img /data/local/tmp/

Did i miss a step? I don't understand ; i see psneuter and psneuter.c files in the directory platform tools ...
what is chmod command, btw?
do i need to link this file to the shell or something?
I'm afraid to do anything with the phone while I'm halfway through this process, i apologize for being so very needy, but I'm super grateful for your taking the time to noob me thru this,
i promise I'll do my best to share my knowledge with the next poor noob when this is all said and done,

All of that is unnecessary, sounds like you want cm7 so just download it boot into recovery and install it.
The pd15img takes care of most of that and if you install a custom rom it will already have root

what happened when you tried to get temproot with zergrush?
was the phone in charge only mode? It needs be to write a backup file to the sdcard.
the < waiting for device > error is because the fastboot driver is not installed or there is contention with some program.
i missed a step; updated code above:
prerequisite: adb and fastboot fully working.

It means its not working on any hboot other than 0.97

I saw the tool tweeted by AlpharevX. I wasn't sure if it would work for Inc2. I am already rooted, but thank you for writing a guide for us!!!!

so this is a legitimate way to root the .98 dinc2?? is it restore able to stock or is it permanent? thanks

Thanks ever so much for this write up, it is greatly appreciated, and a beer or two (donation) will be coming your way Friday.
I had to get a replacement for my rooted DINC2, and wouldn't you know it, they sent me out one with the 0.98 bootloader. I thought all hope was lost, well, at least until revolutionary found an exploit for the 0.98. This has helped tremendously.
Thanks again ever so much,

[Q] HTC DESIRE HD issue after FROYO

:crying:
I got HTC Desire HD with Gingerbread 2.3.3. I wasnt able to get the complete details (my fault) before downgrading.
I have downgraded it to Froyo (2.2) and after that it is taking more than 5 minutes to Start up with too long vibration and everytime I tried to insert the sim card it switched off and another more than 5 minutes of waiting.
I cannot run RRU and even go to volume down and power switch area (or they call it HBOOT).
I don't know what to do now.
Please help :crying:

Try to pull battery before trying to boot with volume down.
And you it seems that you have messed your bootloader. Was your phone shipped with gingerbread?
This guide should fix it.
Try it with this latest HTC Desire HD RUU .
Wacco001 said:
RUU Update - Flashing Android RUU Update Using HBoot
- First you need the RUU.exe that you intend to install.
- Run the RUU as Administrator.
- Tick the 'I understand the caution indicated above...' box, and click next.
- At this point do not go any further!
- Navigate to C:\Users\xxxxx\AppData\Local\Temp (xxxxx is your user name , and ... AppData is a hidden folder)
- You should see one or two folders like this example: {E328FA5C-81C2-4B70-96AE-D5418A9A5B75}
- Go into the folder with "dotnetinstaller.exe".
- Open the next folder. (like this example: {50F2F878-636A-496F-A7CB-544C067E0C4B}
- Copy "rom.zip" into another folder (outside of temp).
- At this point just Cancel and quit the ROM Update Utility.
- Rename the "rom.zip" to "PD98IMG.zip" and put it on to the root directory of your MicroSD card in your phone.
- Shut down the phone.
- Press the Power button + Volume down button at the same time and hold them untill you get to HBOOT (white screen with skateboarding android).
- Wait for the HBOOT to parse the zip file.
- Follow the on-screen instructions and boot into newly flashed device.

RE:
Hi
And you it seems that you have messed your bootloader. Was your phone shipped with gingerbread?
I'm really not sure if this unit was shipped with gingerbread because we only got this as pre-owned from a shop.
The volume down + power button is not working for me anymore.
I have tried the RRU with no luck, but I will try the steps that you have provided.
Thank you so much!

You messed up the bootloader, it happened to me just a few days ago. You need to flash an original hboot.ng0 through adb.

Check the guide in my signature, you have the hboot fix there. It does not work always, but it is worth a try. Don't try to flash a RUU with the hboot in that state or you might brick your device.

I was able to resolved my issue. What I did is follow the steps that I've got online/though I know that we also have this on this forum:
md5sum hboot.nb0
adb push hboot.nb0 /data/local/tmp/
adb push gfree /data/local/tmp/
adb push psneuter /data/local/tmp/

adb pull /data/local/tmp/hboot.test
md5sum hboot.test
All md5sums should be 2a28dcd53ea26504be9a86572a348aa1
adb reboot
After that the phone restarted got white HTC screen and then it fades. I got scared cause I thought that I did something wrong again.
I swithced it off and press the volume and power button and got on the hboot screen. I tried to restore and everything with no luck just the phone went black screen.
Oh my head aches :cyclops:
I put the file that I have downloaded online RUU_Ace_Sense30_S_HTC_WWE_3.12.405.1_Radio_12.65.60.29_26.14.04.28_M_release_225512_signed.zip and rename it PD98IMG.zip then again restarted my phone to hboot and successfully updated the PHONE.
Oh My! My phone comes back on 2.3.5 Android!

The fix you provide is incomplete....I would suggest you remove it. The complete fix is in the guide I linked you.
If you are already S-OFF, then you just need to flash a custom rom and you are ready to go. Otherwise, you need to use the Hack Kit to achive S-OFF and root.
