[Tutorial] (another) Temporary root on Wildfire S with S-ON

I have written a small procedure to get temporary root on HTC Wildfire S with S-ON (posting it I've noticed the argument has already been treated, even if in another way).
The procedure works in a temporary way, until next restart.
Superuser permissions do work only with applications that accept su binary located in /sbin and NOT in standard directories /system/bin or /system/xbin, (not writeable on this phone due to S-ON lock). I have tested the patch with Titanium Backup and Proxydroid, and they both work fine.
The procedure uses Revolutionary - zergRush binary to get root and then installs su binary in /sbin directory for future uses. Unfortunately /sbin folder is regenerated at every boot and this is the reason why this root is only temporary.
As usual, you apply the patch at your own risk (but considering that we’re not going to flash anything, I suppose the worst case could be a terminal crash).
Ok, let’s go straight to the steps to follow:
1. we’re assuming you have already downloaded and installed HTC drivers
2. download and install superuser from market (even if you have not yet rooted your phone). run it and try to update su binary in its settings page (it will fail but nevermind)
3. enable settings->applications->development->usb debugging
4. download and unpack the temproot.zip attachment in a pc folder
5. close HTC Sync from PC system tray
6. connect wildfire s to usb port
7. choose HTC sync connection mode
8. open dos prompt and go to the folder chosen at step 4
9. run temproot.bat and you're done
steps from 5 to 9 must be repeated at every boot to achieve root grant.
Note 1: if after having got root you can't see the sd card, reactivate it on settings->sd card and phone storage->Mount SD card
Note 2: after phone reboot do not try to open a shell (with adb shell) before running temproot batch, otherwise zergRush won't work

works 4 me. thnx

Hello
I try it on my S ON phone
So the first time, I've passed the steps and my phone was rooted
But I have restarted mly phone
So i don't have the root privileges...
So I try to launch temproot.bat but i have the same message :
adb server is out of date.......
I saw my scdard was not detected too when I had privileges roots.
Thanks

Stucking after "* daemon started successfully *"
not always after the same command, but the case is all the same.

i don't understand

try executing commands manually
0) connect phone to pc
1) open task manager and kill any htc sync process
2) open command prompt and add "adb usb"
3) then edit temproot.bat and execute each command manually. relevant command are "adb shell ...". some commands are already included to remove scripts from previous executions (adb shell rm ...)

I try another and the phone is rooted but when the screen is off, my phone restarts...
Why?
And so after restart, it is not rooted !

Hye wiseminosse can u tell me why my phone is restat and restat when run temproot.bat

try executing commands step by step as indicated in a previous post and try to understand at what point the phone restarts

try executing all the commands except the final "remount -ro". it could be a side effect of the read only filesystem remount

Okay thnks,but i still dont understand what is the meaning" steps from 4 to 7 must be repeated at every boot to achieve root grant"?

[Q] Unable to update to last Stock (2.3.4) after...

Originally, my Arc was on 2.3.4 Stock, it is allowed for BootLoader unlocking.
I followed this guide to unlock the BootLoader
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1042978
I did Step 1, everything fine.
Then i did Step 2, then bad things starts to happen. Even at the command prompt, it state Flash is successful, my Arc got stuck at the Sony Ericsson Logo.
The Remedy I did:
I download the O2 Stock ROM from here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1093523
Reinstall it using the FlashTool.
After reinstalling, I activated the SU using FlashTool.
So Far, everything is fine.
Seeing the Android is at 2.3.3, I connect using Sony Ericsson Phone Companion to attempt to update to 2.3.4.
Phone Companion complained my Firmware disable them from doing it.
Is there anywhere i can get 2.3.4?
Which then still allows me to ROOT, unlock Bootloader and subsequently, remove some of the bloated apps?
Thank you very much!

hello
use THIS to flash via flashtool : http://www.multiupload.com/GQO5RNQ856
and THIS to root your device: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1320350
if you don't want to lose root then you can just uncheck Wipe data and wipe cache in flashtool
hope it helped !

If you are using TWRP recovery, you can do it from there. Do a BACKUP (as if you want to do a NAndroid) and the next screen you can see the option to backup EFS.....just click the box and unclick the other boxes that you don't want to backup...easy...

This tool, like many others, use their own adb release, so you don't need to install adb by yourself (adb files are into the "files" directory).
So, if you have an active adb, you must first stop it by using an adb kill-server command in a terminal.
When i use those tools, i always replace the adb files by my own up-to-day release, it's simpler than always kill adb server.

Just to let people know after terminating SnapPea's background service everything works fine :laugh: Thank you for your concern !

[Q] Trouble updating Kodi on AFTV

I am running a rooted Amazon Fire TV with Kodi 14.0. I decided to update it to 14.2
I downloaded kodi-14.2-Helix-armeabi-v7a.apk from Kodi.tv.
First I tried adbfire to install it. It seemed to go OK except that the progress bar keeps going from left to right over and over. After about 20 min, I killed it and tried using the adb command line.
I ran cmd as admin and typed these commands
adb kill-server
adb start-server
adb connect 192.168.1.3
adb install -r kodi-14.2-Helix-armeabi-v7a.apk
and got this output
