I rooted and unlocked my first ls980 using this tutorial (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2655133) a few weeks ago and all is fine and I'm very happy !
Now, today I tried to do exactly the same with another ls980 (zva, stock rom) but for whatever reason I can't copy apns-conf.xml in /etc/.
So yes, I'm rooted ! (at least root checker says im rooted)
I tried ##3424# Enable diag mode, not better !
Usb debugging is on !
So I don't know why I don't have permissions..
Totalcommander gives me an error on transfer and I cannot edit, rename or remove any files in /etc/
Es filer explorer (allowed in supersu) tells me permission denied
any ideas ?
Thanks much
root
root the phone again through the ioroot method. or try to install busybox on your phone. good luck!
I also had this issue, what I did is to copy the file to your phone ( I placed it in downloads), then use your root browser to copy and paste the file over to where you need, you can also delete telephony.db this way, hope this helps
Hey guys, thanks for your answers its much appreciated !
I solved the problem using root browser, so thanks again for your help

In several places in the forums I see DSP manager mentioned as a way to change the sound output from the phone.
It is possible to use the .apk file or flash the .zip file to a stock firmware that is rooted (no other changes), or does it have to be applied to a custom rom?
Ta.
Here you go...

Flash as you would a ROM
Hmm, I flashed it and the settings appeared, but they seem to make no difference to the sound output!
Trying via headphones? As I doubt you'd notice from the internal speaker
Other than that I can't help, have no issues personally
Yep, trying via headphones. Seems to make no difference at all. I am running a stock rooted HTC Rom.
Hi, I flashed the DSP from recovery and rebooted. Installation was successful but I can't find the app anywhere in my phone? where do I see it?

For anyone else having this problem:
I didn't find the app I installed so I searched the net for other installation files, and found this:
h ttp://androidforums.com/1446319-post107.html
after I flashed this and rebooted, I got a 'force close' notification for the app. Than I went to /system/app/DSPManager.apk and installed it.
DSP Manager now working great ^^
I did as u said but it gives me a force close and when i try to install it i cant cause its already installed, cant uninstall it either, what should i do ? BTW I'm using AuraxTSense v7.4
did you install the one in the second post as well?
I'm using AuraxTSense 7.0
Yes, first I installed that one, it didn't work, then I installed the other. Is that the problem ? I thought so... so how should I fix it ?
good question..I'm not sure.. try installing the first again
Ok I did it, it removed the app from the app list. What now ? If I try installing it from /system/app it gives an error.
I don't know.. i just rebooted my device and it gave me the force close again. so I did what I did the previous time and ran that app from the location I wrote.. worked like a charm.. again..

I installed the other zip again, gave me a force close so went to system/app and tried to install it but I can't, only have the options uninstall and launch... No idea why is it working for you and not for me...
EDIT: Ok it works now, had to remove first the odex file and install the other zip again
Update DSP Manager
You can remove the DSPManager.apk file using the terminal emulator.
NOTE: You need to have a rooted phone, Superuser & Terminal emulator.
STEPS
1. Change to root user it is granted super-user permissions.
su -2. Then change to the system app directory.
cd /system/app3. Then move the DSPManager.apk to the tmp directory.
mv DSPManager.apk /tmp4. Move the new apk file to the system app directory.
NOTE: Change to the directory where the DSPManager_1.0.apk is.
cp DSPManager_1.0.apk /system/app5. Reboot the phone.
6. Check in the apps list and the new DSP Manager should be in there.
NOTE: If it all worked you can remove the DSPManager.apk from /tmp
rm /tmp/DSPManager.apk
Attached is the version I use on my rooted HTC Desire.
In order to work, DSP Manager also needs a file called libaudioflinger.so in the /system/lib directory in addition to the apk.
The easy way to get this done is to use an update zip for DSP Manager. Get it from one of these links (all links from this page):

I don't think you can install the zip from Astro Explorer because it needs to copy files to the /system partition which is read-only when the phone is booted up. In other words, you must have a rooted phone to do this.
If you do have a rooted phone, then reboot into recovery mode and install the update.zip the usual way.
If you don't have a rooted phone, well that's a whole different story.
i , please help me.
I've installed it via recovery and I made backup with my original needly files: libaudioflinger and libaudio. Then i copied my files back (deleted new files and moved old files) . I restarted my phone and it didn't boot. Just show me the White window (T-mobile)... Can i repair my phone by myself? Please help me and sorry for my english.

I'm sorry I don't really understand the problem. Normally, installing the update.zip should be all that you need to do. I don't understand why you copied the old files back and were those two files the only files that you backed up?
First, I'd like to thank Chlinkchlink, Heritz, and Superoneclick application for your help and original Root.zip File! Wouldn't work without this!
I Finally found the perfect method to root this Virgin Mobile Device with S-On (Or OFF)! I Spent 3 days on my customers phone at my computer shop figuring a good method without read/write or freeze errors. I Simply EXTRACTED the SUPERUSER and ROOT files from SUPERONECLICK application and PASTED those files into the ROOT.ZIP File provided. Result? The ULTIMATE ROOT.ZIP MODIFICATION! Below are the methods....
Forget to mention... "I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE IF YOU BRICK/BREAK/THROUGH YOUR PHONE OUT THE WINDOW/ Etc!" That can only happen if you fail to backup your device or fail to read my steps and HTC Dev. Thanks and HAPPY ROOTING!
Follow The HTC Dev method to unlock your bootloader. Sorry. Due to rules I am too new to submit links.
Then install clockworkmod recovery like you would through adb on your computer. Download from attachment. make sure you Extract it!
Place the clockworkrecovery image inside your Android Adb folder. Place your phone in bootloader usb mode and plug it into the computer. Open command prompt and browse to the folder where you placed the recovery
example how:
cd c:/
cd Android
Now Flash this bad recovery!
example on cmd prompt:
fastboot flash recovery recovery-clockwork-5.0.2.8-marvelc.img
Now you have clockworkmod recovery!
Now hit Recovery on your cell...
Get My Modified Root.Zip File on link attached.
Now mount USB Storage and make sure your phone is still plugged in to computer.
Copy my modified Root.zip file you downloaded into the root of your MicroSD Card.
Unmount USB and flash the Root.zip file.
Reboot phone and you are now rooted! Donate / Like Me/ And good comments if I helped you!!!
Thanks for your help with my phone. I'm glad you were able to figure it out after i gave up trying. In a few wks i'll get the VM Evo 3d 4g and swing by to have you do that phone as well. I'll let you know if i run into any issues or updates. Thanks once again!
Can anyone else verify this works?
Finally found something for wf s CDMA. Only 1 other person out there that has tried this? Anyone else?
This would of helped me a while ago.
I had an issue where CWM 5.0.2.8 would freeze and restart itself. I had to use 4.X.X.X (don't remember the exact numbers) in order to be able to flash roms.
And maybe you can help me with this. I installed HenseMod with the VirginMobile patch, but I have no service. My carrier doesn't seem to know why either.
Does anyone know what the problem is?

Yes.. I am sure you need to go back to stock rooted rom. Then activate (or reactivate) with your carrier, then put the Hensemod back.
(Most HTC phones with SENSE won't activate with the carrier with any cyanogen based rom). It must have SENSE.
Nice tut, thanks

what provider do you have? and if its vm try another ROM that was made by someone with a marvelc (the guy who made your ROM doesn't have the phone)

I never had a problem with any of the cwm on the marvelc, maybe it was a bad install? I just use the old version then use ROM manager to flash the new version

searching the forum I found this http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/index.php?title=Flashing_Guide_-_Android is that what you mean?
Can't find any option to flash the on the boot menu... .zip file
Has anyone tried this with a recently purchased VM Wildfire S? Say July 2012 or after?
do we need to s-off
do we need to s-off the phone befor going ahead with the steps mentioned.I mean can we root the phone even without s-off
This being my first post a HI EVERYBODY is in order.
On with the show.
So, I managed to unlock my bootloader via htcdev website, i slapped on the cwm recovery and managed to put a custom rom on my cell.
The rom in question is the jellyking, works fine, everything is great.
PROBLEM:
although ive tried several cm10 roms i liked jellyking the most but on all of them i had troubles getting root.
what happens is that i download es file manager, set it to give me root and mount system as RW, popup says that the preinstalled (with rom) superuser app granted those rights and that everything should be superb, but I couldnt copy files from my sd to lets say /system/media (wanted to change my bootanim) it says file copy failed, only once i did manage to copy a file but i dont know how.
The question:
when i put a custom rom, do i need to reapply the famous root.zip or maybe install busybox as my first app or maybe flash over the existing superuser app the superSU app which seems to update the root binaries sucessfully.
BOTTOM LINE:
What is the exact (if any) procedure that I need to follow to get perm root access (copy rights) to my own phone, each and every reboot.
Thanks in advance for all Your insights,
Humbly,

Hi, im new here and i need help. i've tried posting in the ARHD thread but the system informed me that im not allowed yet to post there. so here's my problem:
see, ive flashed my phone with ARHD V30 and used an app called root checker to see if my device is rooted which it positively verified so, that my phone is rooted. but when i tried to paste some files in the system/usr/keylayout, my phone informed me that said folder was read-only. so i tried using android commander, but to no avail. i tried checking my phone status using android commander and it showed that my phone is not rooted. did i do something wrong when i was flashing arhd? or do i need to root my phone again? if yes, can you point me in the right direction. im on ND3 BL btw. and i habe super su installed and twrp as my custom recovery. thanks!

Go to playstore and update your supersu if not already updated,also in es file explorer you need to mount your system to R/W to be able to copy paste things into system folder.In order to give the system read and write access open es file explorer ,hit menu key then click on extreme left of root explorer (make sure root is checked as you see in the screenshot) then click on R/W then next window make sure all the options are selected on the extreme right column,hit okay and go about pasting files in /system

Hi fellow developers,
I need to do modify my HTC 10's hosts file, but with the latest OTA update to Android 8.0, I find it impossible to make any functional changes to the hosts file. Does anyone have a clue?
I am rooted, and S-OFF with TWRP recovery.
In recovery, I have tried modifying all of these:
/system/etc/hosts
(which is only there normally when the phone is booted and running, I can't figure out where it's coming from)
/data/hosts
/data/data/hosts
None of these work.
Please help, if you know! I cannot find any information online, after hours of research and troubleshooting...
cheers,
Jordan
P.S. Despite S-Off and root, I find that many root procedures don't work when android is booted, disappointed, cannot understand why. Miss my One M8!

Thank you aM- for replying, someone hears my cry for help!
I tried to mount /system as read-write and instead got an "Error : The operation could not be completed".
This is frustrating, as again, I got S-OFF specifically for this purpose.
And SuperSU seems to function normally, asking me to grant permissions.
I had the same problem with a terminal editor, being unable to SU, permissions denied.
Are you on Android 8.0 Oreo as well?

I should be rooted.. I am unlocked and S-OFF.
I flashed SuperSU-v2.82-201705271822.zip from TWRP recovery.
I have the SuperSU app installed and it seems to run normally.
But I cannot "su" in a shell like you did, cannot mount /system partition as write, really, cannot do anything root.
Do you know what version of SuperSU you rooted yours with?
P.S. Android 8.0 as well, not 8.1 (which I presume hasn't rolled out to OTA yet)

Thanks so much aM- and fmedrano1977.
I've made progress. I reflashed my phone with the later SuperSU SR5 zip that you posted, wiped dalvik/cache, rebooted. Now I can "su", as well as mount /system/etc as read/write. Success!
There was a couple of catches, at least two or three other apps that don't seem to work with root anymore (like the previous file explorer I had, supposed to support root, but only "root explorer" worked after I bought it).
Now modifying my hosts file seems to have no effect, but I suppose that's another issue for another day. As it stands, I can now edit my hosts file thanks to your help.
Cheers!!
