I'M NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY DAMAGE TO YOUR PHONE
Infos
Why Should I root my phone?
Read Here
What can I do with recovery?
With recovery you can principally flash cooked roms, but also other things like make nandroid backups (Internal memory backups), partition your sdcard, fix problems etc...
If you want root there are 2 methods:
First Method
Is very simple, just download and install InstantRoot.apk (attached)
To install this from sdcard you need a file explorer like ASTRO
After the install a notify that says root access gained should appear, if not try second method
Second Method
This will install also recovery
1. Enable Debug USB from Settings->Applications
2. Download flashrec and install it with file manager like ASTRO
3. Download Amon_RA's recovery and put it in your sdcard
4. Run flashrec and tap Backup Recovery
5. Tap in the textbox and write this path:
Code:
/sdcard/recovery-RA-hero-vx.x.x.img
At moment of writing last version is 1.5.2, so the path should be
Code:
/sdcard/recovery-RA-hero-v1.5.2.img
6. Tap Download then flash recoery
7. If you get an error retry from step 3, else continue
8. Turn off your phone and reboot it keeping pressed Home button, recovery should start
9. Connect your phone via usb
10. Download Android SDK and extract all in the same folder
11. Download this and extract it in your sdk/tools folder
12. Open cmd (if you are on windows, if you are on a mac or on linux open terminal) and move to sdk/tools folder using this command
Code:
cd path
13. Give this commands in order
On windows:
Code:
adb shell mount /system
adb push su /system/bin/
adb shell chmod 4755 /system/bin/su
adb push Superuser.apk /system/app/
adb shell umount /system
adb shell reboot
On linux/mac
Code:
./adb shell mount /system
./adb push su /system/bin/
./adb shell chmod 4755 /system/bin/su
./adb push Superuser.apk /system/app/
./adb shell umount /system
./adb shell reboot
14. Now you have root access on your phone
If you want recovery:
Just follow root's second method to the step 7
Flashing Custom roms using recovery:
Custom roms are in Zip format, to flash it is really easy once you have recovery.
Once downloaded a rom put it in your sdcard root, then reboot into recovery (Keep home button pressed while turning on your phone)
Now make a wipe going to Wipe->Wipe data, then come back to main menu and go to Flash zip from sd card, select your zip and you're done
Thanks for the guide How does Nandroid backup fit into this?
maybe you need to tell how to downgrade(or a link to a guide )
nice guide, only i have already rooted my phone(2 months ago or something xD)
@Culturelol
nandroid backup is recommeded when you install a new rom, so you can always back to your original/past rom
So i root with this guide, then nandroid and then i can flash the new rom?
One more small question Is there anything special i should know about flashing the radio?

No, only that you can't flash a GSM radio on a CDMA phone and back, if you do this you'll brick your phone

Is that done the same way? Boot to recovery and then flash the radio? And is this done before or after wipe / install of the new rom?

Thank you - it works.
Thanks for the instructions.
1-Do you need to follow step 8-12 to get root and flash rom`s or is the android sdk and superuser only if you want to develope yourself?
2- If ypu do this and after want back to stock rom . As far as i`ve read it`s as easy as just flashing from HTC website and you`re back ? Won`t recovery still be left on your phone?
Thanks

1. Steps from 8 to 12 are only to get root access on stock rom, if you want to change rom you don't need to make those steps
2. To get back to stock rom just flash official update, as far as i know recovery will be deleted
Thanks
Thanks for the guide.
Was being anal and following the guide to the letter (not wanting a brick!) and it just rebooted to stock recovery
Code:
4. Run flashrec and tap Backup Recovery
5. Tap in the textbox and write this path: /sdcard/recovery-RA-hero-v1.5.2.img
6. If you get an error retry from step 3, else continue
Should we be tapping the download button once we entered the img location?

Yes, sorry it's my fault, correcting...
Sorry silly question
Please could someone tell me, if using the first method the InstantRoot.apk. Will this wipe the current ROM/data/apps etc from the phone or will it just enable Root privilages and leave everything else the same?
Many thanks
Jeremy
It just roots your phone and leaves everything in tact, just did it now.
The guide is not clear on how to flash the rom though. Because it says "If you want recovery" I don't want recovery I just want to flash. I have root now what's next? In simple steps, no recovery required just want CKDroid.

Can someone please help?
I'm trying to edit the system\etc\bluez\main.conf file using root explorer.
I can edit the line I want, save and exit but it then reboots the phone automatically and the original unedited file is back.
What am I doing wrong?
BTW the phone is rooted and this is why I want to edit the file...

As we don't have write access to /system on a normal booted desire, you have to do all your work in recovery-mode.
I can get into recovery mode ok but how do I edit the file I want from there?
The options I have are:
- Reboot system now
- USB-MS toggle
- Backup/Restore
- Flash zip from sdcard
- Wipe
- Partition sdcard
- Other
- Power off
Extract the file out of the rom, change it, than push it back to the rom.
You can do that from ADB shell while your phone is in recovery.
You can find commands how to backup files and push/delete them back to ROM on this forums, or you can search it on internet.
dont forget to mount /system
adb shell in a new terminal screen
then mount /system
I can't figure out what I'm doing wrong.
I've tried the method suggested by allla and ivicask ie, using adb commands in recovery mode and I get the same result as using root explorer, the file appears to have copied successfully it reboots but the original file is back again
I've also tried vastlopers method and after lots of reading found that the device needs to be booted normally to 'remount' however when I try to push the file now it says "Directory not empty"
It seems to me that this adb method is just a long winded alternative to root explorer, none of which get the desired result.
Please help?
Bump. Bump.
I've now tried adb file explorer but can't figure out how to install Busybox on my device.
I'm out of ideas. Someone must know how to edit/overwrite the main.conf file.
I'm being told elsewhere on this Forum that the Desire cannot yet be fully rooted for r/w access to the /system/ folder. Is this correct?

Yes it is. It's also written in the root tutorial!
I have rooted my HTC One X and want to copy files in /system/xbin folder. My phone shows S-ON. And Eclipse is not able to copy files to /system and adb push from shell is also not working. Is there a way I can copy files to /system/xbin?
I am running stock ROM.
My phone is NOT associated with any vendor.
adb remount
adb push filename /system/xbin
Sent from my HTC One X
You can also use es file explorer and go into the options tick up to root and the request root and then tick mount as r/w.
Then just move files as you will.

First of all thanx it worked. I think I will have to live with this way A ADB/Eclipse based would have been cool
Will the files moved from SDcard to phones root in anyway lose and privileges(like losing executable)? If yes, please suggest a way to restore it.

When doing adb shell su do you get any toast notification on your phone? Or does it just say denied ?
Strange it works perfectly here Also are you using SuperSU or any other superuser app?

Yes you need to change the permissions after moving from sdcard. Use Root Explorer(Long press on the file--> Change permissions)

I am using SuperSU as Super User App. And I think I am doing something wrong here. You mentioned about adb shell su. I think I might be wrong here. Here is how I tried to execute the command.
[email protected]: <path to platformtools> ./adb remount
remount failed: Operation not permitted
do I have to raise ADB shell to SU level. If yes, how?

Strange. Are you using the stock kernel ? If that is the case then it does not have insecure adbd (ro.secure=0) so remount will not work. Try a custom kernel.
Does adb has SU permissions from recovery ? Try booting into recovery, mounting the system partitions and try to push something from adb. Check the SuperSU app to update binary but that should not be a problem.

Yes I have rooted the phone but the ROM is stock(I was thinking to put in CM9 Alpha).
About the second thing. I know how to boot my phone into recovery(Vol Down + Power -> From Screen -> Recovery(ClockwerkMod))
But about the rest I don't know.
Sorry about my annoying questions this is my first time I am dealing with rooting and stuff.

I guess you are using stock kernel then. Try franco's or faux's kernel.
adb remount wont work from os on stock boot.img.
After rebooting into recovery go to mounts and storage-->mount /system and then push something from adb. See if that works.

Well this didn't work either. I hope to switch to some other ROM in future(I hate HTC Sense ). But as of now Root Explorer did the job. I mounted my sdcard and copied files to it and used Root Explorer to move files to /system and then changed permissions.
Thanks for help it really made it easy .
make sure your path devs are oke for su.
in terminal run:
sudo su
adb kill-server
adb devices
you should see your HOX HTxxxxx nr.
and here you should be able to connect eclipse to HOX by adb.

The problem was not accessing the device using ADB. The problem was I was not able to write to root system. ES Explorer and Root Explorer both did the job for me. I will be putting the final instructions for the process(detailed ones) soon.
Instructions onw how to copy files to root file system on HTC One X with S-ON
1) Unlock and Root your phone. Follow instructions below
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gIeq8Jx28cs
and then
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=80lMHUgxwww
2) Install ES Explorer(File Manager) Link :- https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.estrongs.android.pop&hl=en
3) Connect device to computer(even if it is not recognized by ADB/Computer)
4) In Phone select Disk drive option. Now the phone's storage will be mounted on your computer as removable device.
5) Copy the files you want to send to phone's root system to any folder here.
6) Change phone's mode to charge only and wait for 2-3 secs(let phone remount sdcard)
7) Open ES Explorer and open menu(those 3 dots at bottom and select Settings)
8) Tick the following options
Up to Root
Root Explorer
Mount File System
9) A dialog box for permission will open Grant it.
10) Now copy files from /sdcard/<Folder where u put files> to where ever you want o copy files to.
11) Long press on file to change permissions and stuff.

I rooted my kindle fire using kindle fire utility 0.9.6 (after the rooting superuser wasn't installed on my kindle), downloaded twrp, flashed hashcode jelly bean ROM from this link
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1766829
and then flashed Superuser-3.1.3-x86-signed.zip which I downloaded from this link

but superuser won't work, when I check the root explorer in ES file explorer it tells me that this feature can't work on ur phone
Please I'm really dying out here
Someone Help Pleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeease !!!!!
You need the su binary installed as well. But with that being said, why don't you just install the Superuser.apk?
[Edit:] It's late and I'm not paying attention for some reason. Custom ROMs come pre-rooted and you have Jelly Bean installed. Perhaps there's a problem with ES File Explorer?

Thank you for replying so fast
how can I install su binary? and about the superuser.apk isn't that what i flashed into my device i have a superuser icon on my desktop but it just won't add any apps to its list.

At the Superuser website, there are three zip files. One is Superuser, one is the su binary, and the other should be both. Not that it matters at this point.

I too used the KFU to supposedly root my KF, but when I tried to install Titanium Backup, it gave me the same error message saying that my phone did not have root privileges... I wonder if there is something not installing correctly when using KFU...
"Root" consists of the su binary, which the system uses to give the user root permissions, and Superuser.apk, which keeps a database of what programs you allow to have those permissions. With "su" only, you will still have root permission, but only at the level of command line interface and your apps will not be allowed root permissions. Superuser.apk by itself is worthless. Custom ROMS come pre-rooted so the need to re-root is usually unnecessary unless something happens to one of the above mentioned programs. The only way to be sure if/which one is missing is in recovery via the command line because custom recovery will provide temporary root access.
Code:
adb shell ls /system/xbin
...look for su
Code:
adb shell ls /system/app
...look for Superuser.apk
Superuser can be installed from within the ROM using the .apk (at least in earlier versions it was possible), or in recovery using the command line or by flashing the signed .zip from the superuser website . The su binary can only be installed while in recovery.
Of course it all can be fixed by re-flashing your custom ROM.
It may also be necessary to rename the check-rooted executable, but only if you're running the stock Amazon software.
I think that pretty much covers it.

Ok, I have a dumb question, but from where do you run the DOS commands from? (ie. what directory?)..
c:\KFU?
Right-click on your KFU folder and select properties to find the folder's path. It may be different depending on wherever you've installed it.

Thanks. but not sure i understand.
Here is what I'm attempting to do.. using the root method described here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1638452 under "Getting to fastboot mode" there are a series of command line examples that seem to start with adb.... (ex. adb shell chmod 755 /data/local/tmp/fbmode).
Under Rooting the stock software, the first step command line is "adb shell mount system"
my question is from where do I start (directory) so that when I enter these commands they work?
Or are you saying that I need to fun all these from the KFU directory? (or KFU/tools) or some other directory..
I appreciate the help and feedback..
:h my::
Wherever adb is...Right-click on that folder to find it's path so you can "cd" or change directories to it. Alternatively, you can Shift + Right-click on that folder and select something like "Open command window here".

read about write system protection.
tutos are available on this forum (wp_mod.ko file to push in system/lib/modules, and run a command on the phone with a terminal app)
#su
insmod system/lib/modules/wp_mod.ko
if im speaking chinese, dont try
but as you tried to change partitions before having write protection removed, you wont be able to do it without a restart until you reflash your rom (clean install)

2. Hopefully you were able to successfully install custom recovery and root.
Now this part is a bit tricky. Even with root HTC is stopping us from writing to system. For this we need to apply the wp_mod.ko module.
Download it here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=2707378
Copy this file to the root of your internal storage.
Now download Terminal Emulator from play store, run it and enter the following commands (you only need to do this once):
su
insmod /sdcard/wp_mod.ko
Once you do this go into a root explorer app and mount /system as R/W. Copy the wp_mod.ko file to /system/lib/modules
Now go to /system/etc and find install-recovery.sh. Open it with a text editor and add a new line at the end with the following:
insmod /system/lib/modules/wp_mod.ko
Reboot! If all went well the wp_mod module will run at boot every time so you won't have to do it manually each time!
Congratulations, you now have a fully rooted Desire 816!
