Motorola Droid X :: Unable To Root Ota 2.2
I was rooted in 2.1 and lost root when upgrading to 2.2. Ninja ICON still appears. I tried to root using the instruction in DroidLife. The one click root failed with a rc 12. The Android SDK package that I downloaded was for 2.2. What do I need to do to get root in 2.2

Motorola Droid :: Unable To Install Easy Root
I'm having a problem downloading Easy Root..I bought it once, refunded it because I didn't have anough money in my account, then bought it again the same day...andnow it finally went through this morning and it says purchased because I got paid this morning...but when I try to click install it says "Download unsuccessful"...I've tried everything to get it to install but it won't work and I can't refund it again. If I could refund it again I would be able to successfully install it like I did with Rom manager and setCPU.

Motorola Droid : Unable To Do Some Future Root Process Because Of A Glitch Now
I was running stock 2.1 on my Droid and I recently rooted it using the instructions here: How-To Root your stock 2.1 Droid. It went off without a hitch. Then, I went to Froyo 2.2, as found here: Download: Newer Motorola Droid Froyo Leak FRF57 | Droid Life: A Droid Community Blog. After switching to Froyo, it appeared that I was having some issues with my root. I still had the superuser ninja, and I could still use Terminal Emulator. When I opened upTitanium Backup though, it asked me to allow permission which I did, and then it told me that I was not rooted (Setup behaved similarly). So I went and applied the update patch available on the Droid-Life page where I got Froyo and it appeared to work. To my knowledge I AM rooted. I have a custom boot animation and Titanium and Setcpu are working fine. Titanium says my root access is ok and that I am using busybox 1.15.3 from app. All is well, EXCEPT that when I try to use the cp command via terminal emulator I cannot. I recently tried to add a custom boot animation using the following: su mount -o rw,remount -t yaffs2 /Dev/block/mtdblock3 /system cp /sdcard/bootanimation.zip /system/media/bootanimation.zip mount -o ro,remount -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system exit After the first line of code I got:usage: mount [-r] [-w] [-o options] [-type] device directory After the second line however I got the error cp not found. HOWEVER, I was able to apply the boot animation using root explorer. Also, i tested the command busybox and got busybox not found. I can still utilize cd /system app though. Basically I need to know if I am only partially rooted. I am having a ball with this phone and I would hate to be unable to do some future root process because of a glitch now.

HTC Incredible :: Get Adfree Android Working
i take no credit for this, just found it over on XDA. Here's how to get this working 1. Search for Adfree Android on the market 2. Install and run 3. allow it to download and install new hosts file, it will copy it to your sdcard and try to replace /system/etc/hosts but fail (it should reboot the phone shortly) 3a. Phone may reboot, this is fine, don't worry. if it doesn't reboot, check your SD card for a file simply named "hosts". if it's there, then continue on. 4. Power off the phone and hold Volume Down and power. 5. Use volume down to select recovery 6. In clockwork recovery volume down to "partitions menu" and hit the track pad to select 7. Select "mount /system", "mount /sdcard" and "mount /data" 8. Plug in your usb cord and open a command line on your pc 9. enter adb shell and type: cp /sdcard/hosts /data/data/hosts (This copies the AdFree hosts file from the SD Card to the /data partition, where it can be edited by AdFree) 10. mv /system/etc/hosts /system/etc/hosts.bak (This renames the current hosts file, rather than deleting it, should you ever want to remove AdFree and return to the original hosts file) 11. ln -s /data/data/hosts /system/etc/hosts (This creates a symbolic link, which allows AdFree to edit the hosts file stored in /data while allowing the OS to use the file as if it were stored in /system. You won't need to reboot into recovery each time you want to update the hosts file!) 12. Reboot and enjoy. EDIT: updated with new method. just did this myself and it works great. it updates on it's own now. ANOTHER EDIT: I just had a guy PM me asking "what if the phone doesn't reboot on step 3?" it may or may not reboot. bottom line is that we want the "hosts" file to get downloaded from Adfree onto our SD card. so if the phone doesn't do an instant reboot when getting the hosts, just check your SD card for a file named "hosts". if it is there, then you are good to continue on and follow the rest of the steps. let me know if you need any further help. i did it the old way about a week or so ago, and then did it the new way last night so that i could have Adfree automatically update the hosts file on its own. the new method does work flawlessly.

Motorola Droid :: Root 2.1 -> OTA 2.2 -> Lost Root But Superuser Permission Icon Still Appears
Here is the scenario: Motorola Droid - Original 1. Rooted 2.1, then 2. OTA Stock Update to 2.2, then 3. Seem to have lost root, However - I still have the Superuser Permissions Icon. I use Barnacle for WiFi Tether - I get a "Permission Denied" error when I try to start the application. I also went into the terminal emulator and tried an "su" which also gave a permission denied response. I tried "sudo" and also got permission denied response. Others have told me this is common with this progression of events. However, How do I now ROOT 2.2 in this scenario?

Motorola Droid :: Root Problems - App - No Root Access
I'm trying to gain root and having some problems... I had my droid rooted for some time, running droid mod 1.0. All was well until recently the battery life turned to shit (followed all guides to resolve recent OTA update issues, but still shitty.) Because of this, I decided I would go back to stock, since I couldn't justify the rom's features if the battery would kick out after 16 hours. So I returned to stock no problem and received the OTA to upgrade to 2.1. After getting the upgrade to 2.1, I wanted to at least have root access to run a few programs. I followed this guide: http://androidforums.com/all-things-root-droid/63010-how-install-sprecovery-unrooted-2-1-ota.html to get SPRecovery back on my phone. Everything went well, it all checked out. After that I used SPRecovery to install the root update.zip. This worked fine, the root access app is in my tray and everything seems to be fine... HOWEVER when opening programs that require root access (setcpu and adfree are the ones I've tried) they say I don't have root access. I have tried reinstalling the update.zip file to no luck. USB debugging is ON. Is there a special update.zip to gain root on 2.1 (I saw no posts about that)? Is there some setting I missed this time around that I didn't the first time I rooted?

HTC EVO 4G :: Seemingly Unable To Root
I've tried to follow the Idiot proof guide, but that doesn't work because unrevoked no longer works after the OTA. I've tried to follow other web guides that has you place PC36IMG.zip into the root directory, hold volume down and power and boot to the HBoot thing. Well, that loads, it searches for and finds PC36, and starts to load from it through the blue progress bar. After the bar is finished, it waits a few seconds, then says "Main version is older! Update Fail! Do you want to reboot the device?" And I can not find any other way to continue. The only options I've found to root are either do this with the P36 or unrevoked, which is now not working.

Samsung Behold 2 :: Unable To Root B2 To 2.1+ Ourselves?
Excuse my lack of knowledge, but... why is it that we are unable to root the B2 to 2.1+ ourselves? We did it with 1.6 way before Samsung announced anything. I thought Google publicly release the source codes to each Android OS. Can't we take the source and modify it to be usable on the B2? Coudn't we possibly take 2.1+ from another (possibly Samsung) phone and transfer the data over? We know Samsung's claim that the B2 could not handle 2.1+ is pure BS.

HTC Eris :: Unable To See Other Partitions After Using Root Explorer Application
I have been reading about the sdcard partitioning on the forum here and I thought I might ask a question that I couldn't find along my travels whilst reading. I have a 16GB SDcard class 6 and here is my question. I have a HTC Desire with setROM 4.5, before I installed this ROM I partitioned my sdcard with a 512MB ext partition using ROM Manager (paid version), now everything seemed to work just fine with the flash etc, but when I go into the SD card + phone storage I see this: When I use Root Explorer application, I cant see the other partition (512MB one) I made? Can anyone advise if this is normal? I can move my apps to sd though through the manage applications section. I should add, I have no idea why I even created this external partition, do i even need it?

Motorola Droid X :: Unable To Update To 2.3.15
When I check for a system update, it says that there is an update available (ver 2.3.15) and it allows me to download it. After it downloads successfully, it says it must restart the phone blah blah, and I say yes and it reboots. Once it loads back up, it says that the update install was unsuccessful.I have done this 4 times now, after the first two I even did a factory reset and then did a battery pull and still, same result. Anyone have this problem/know a way to fix it?

Motorola Droid : Unable To Unroot?
I'm pretty new when it comes to rooting and whatnot, but I gave it a shot. It worked well. I currently have Cyanogen 5.0.5 on my phone and I love it! I heard that the OTA 2.1 is finally out, and I wanted to unroot and try it to compare against my ROM. I have read of ways to do this, but I think my situation is a little more unique. I attempted to revert back to stock via ROM Manager. I must have done the wrong thing, so I ended up just reinstalling the update.zip file from my SD Card. I resigned into Google and it was just like the first time I rooted. I re-downloaded ROM Manager and when I try to "Flash ClockworkMod Recovery", I get the error message: "An error occurred while attempting to run privileged commands." The "reboot into recovery" also does not work. I can still hold "X" and power on, but I just get the clockwork recovery menu, and end up nowhere but back to Cyanogen. I love Cyan and will probably stick with it, but nothing as far as root apps work anymore. DM also doesn't work for me anymore. When I enter recovery mode, it gives me the option to boot from update.zip, or factory reset. Would factory reset mess everything up? Any help/ideas?

Motorola Droid :: Root Before Activation?
Is it possible to root the Droid prior to activating it (you know, doing the *228 thing to be able to actually make calls and use data)? My wife's new Droid just arrived and I'm planning to put JRummy's Pink Froyo on for her. Thought it might be nice to have it done prior to her getting home from work. I'll obviously still be signing in with her google account and I have wifi at home should I need to access any data. But she needs her current phone right now and activating this new one would in turn deactivate the one she has with her.

Motorola Droid :: Root Loss
So I had Pete's virgin 2.2 release on my phone, ran fine, full root access. Sapphire 7.0 was released, so what the heck, I formatted system/cache, and installed. But...lost root somehow. No SU app, no access. Applied su.zip in Recovery to regain access. Didn't work... Applied it a few more times, rebooted...nada. Wiped system/cache and installed CM6 Alpha 3...no root. Applied su.zip, still no su app, no root. Nandroided back to my backup of Pete's virgin 2.2 release. Root. Wiped system/cache, installed CM6 Alpha 3, no root. W-T-F? Never seen this before...always wipe system/cache before a new ROM, never lost root before. Really appreciate any suggestions...I have access to CW recovery. Don't understand how flashing a rooted ROM could leave me w/out root access, or why installing an su zip doesn't add SU back in.

Motorola Droid :: Root After OTA 2.1 Update
Is there a way to root after the OTA 2.1 update yet? Sorry, I had my noob goggles on this morning and accidentally applied the OTA update after I did the baseband update so now I've lost root. I know, I know... that update file should never have been on my sd card to start with. I did a backup with ROMmanager prior to these updates, but can't do anything with it now. Just need to root again so life can continue.

Motorola Droid X :: Leaked 2.3.9 Root
I have, to me at least, a very stable 2.3.9 from when the original leak was pushed out. What a joy over 2.1! I've been reading about deodexing, ROMs, Themes etc. Alot of this is for the OTA 2.2 which I find in my searches. All this requires root, which I am now prepared to do. Is this the best way/most current way to root the 2.3.9? How to root the Droid 2 - xda-developers Or will this work on the leaked 2.2? Easier 1-2-3 Droid 2 Root for Windows / Linux / Mac - xda-developers I really don't want to go the route of downgrading to 2.1, then back again, nor do I want the OTA 2.2.

Motorola Droid :: How To Fix Root On Phone?
So i had my 2.01 rooted with super permisions, but never got around to installing busy box, custom recovery and all that stuff, i just couldn't figure it out. then i updated to 2.1 and my super permissions is still in the apps, but its pretty clear the root isn't working for me. i looked up how to root 2.1 and the guides say if i upgraded my root from 2.01 to 2.1 and try to 2.1 root it could mess things up. so my question is.. what can i do to "re root" my droid. so i can install a custom os?

Motorola Droid X :: Remove Root From 2.1 - Currently In 2.2
So my phone was rooted using 1 click method during 2.1. However, my phone is now in 2.2. I did a hard/factory reset. Apparently that didn't remove Superuser permission. Residual root files are still there. I made sure to untick the option to back up my settings. So... I'm guessing I have to manually get it out. Any ideas how I can do it now? I'm looking to root 2.2 but I think it's best if I start fresh.
