Root *MORE* Reliable root for leakers has been found

[Ph34rful]

Finally! Don't have time to mess with my phone right now, but I know what I'll be doing this weekend! Now all that's left to overcome is the silent bug!

 

[Romparoo]

Hurray!!!! Wish I still had my leaked phone so I could celebrate!

CONGRATS all!

 

[zerocool79346]

Update, I have the adb shell up and running, had to download HTC Sync in order to get the correct drivers. Just waiting on EE 3.0 to download on to the comp so I can setup the flash shortcut and about to start reading up on NAND backups, thanks guys.

 

[SyDTRaKKeD]

grrrrrr.... of all days to get stuck at work late..... as soon as i get home i am doing this!!!

My phone doesn't want to seem to boot back up in recovery using the "runindos.bat" auto method. I keep getting
"part 2 is scanning
No such file or directoryights/mid.txt
/data/local/testfile: 11: Syntax error: end of file unexpected (expecting "do")"

any thoughts?

I made the revision to the testfile and I'm on 2.1v3 1.49 HBOOT S-On

 

[zerocool79346]

HELL YES!! Got it done, creating NAND and about to flash EEv3.0. Thank you so much Tereg, you made that so simple even my dumbass could do it.

Make sure that you don't have hack subfolder in the tools folder, just the files out of the hack folder.

Double checked that and went as far as to re-download and re-do everything. Still popping up with the same message after saying files copied and permissions set, and that it's rebooting.

It's looking like its working fine up until the phone is supposed to reboot into recovery

 

[gary1973]

Rooted Finally. This will work for everyone just follow the instructions.

 

[Scynthetic78]

Lenny, I'm running into a similar problem.

"Part 2 is scanning
/data/local/rights/mid.txt
: permission denied
: no such file or directoryecovery
Your phone is now rebooting into rooted recovery..........."

(yes, it's spelled directoryecovery in the cmd window.)


The phone goes to the screen with the red /!\ and I have to do a battery pull to get it to reboot back to normal again.

 

[walkinonthesun]

I can't believe I missed this! I have been lurking on the forums for an hour and didn't notice this. Can't wait to give it a shot!

 

[xx_bishop_xx]

YES! I finally got it to work! I'm so happy now! I've been a month without root and I miss it SO MUCH.

Nice work buddy, good job.

 

[AdrianC14]

I can't get runinlinux.sh to run in terminal, it keeps telling me permission denied. Still trying.

Go to the XDA thread and down load Tereg's redone testfile, should be on about page 37, use it to replace the original testfile in the android sdk tools folder, should work after that.

 

[Scynthetic78]

Heh, I'm currently on page 25 at XDA right now looking for answers. Just adding the two lines at the bottom of the test file doesn't do it?


Edit** upon further investigation, I think it may be the text editing program I'm using. If it doesn't work this time around, I'm going to d/l notepad++ and see if that helps.

Edit#2*

I just rewrote the bottom two lines in wordpad instead of notepad and now got the exact same error as Lenny. Pretty sure it's the text editor causing problems.

 

[lennyjew]

Been doing it with the updated testfile, runs through two or three loops of normal boots before is gives me the /!\ error that requires a battery pull or just stops looping.

Thinking I'm gonna take a break for sleep and work then try again.

 

[nomarsgirl]

I just may have to start reading the all things root section. Never bothered when it wasn't possible for me.

 

[Scynthetic78]

I just replaced the testfile that I edited myself with the new one that was put up at XDA (from Tereg, I think) and I got into recover on the first try after that.

Doing a Naand back up now. Only question is do I wipe before I install the first rom, or just install? I'm pretty sure I need to do a wipe, but will that wipe out what I just backed up?

 

[lennyjew]

After about the 40th time I look over at my phone and BAM, wonderful green screen waiting for me.

Backing up NAND and loading evil eris now. Thanks for the help and putting up with me, much appreciated.

Sleep calls since I have to wake up in 4 hours, but I'll have to remember to get on after work and thank you all.

Wipe. It won't wipe your nand, just the current ROM. Congrats on it!

[Scynthetic78]

Wow, it's amazingly easy to do. I'm now happily running KaosFroyo. For anyone having problems, make sure you go to XDA and get the updated testfile. That was the only problem I ran into at all.

 

[Scynthetic78]

Thanks for the nudge in the right direction Zero, and a HUGE thanks to wag3slav3 and Tereg and all the others I may not know about for all of their hard work on getting this thing rooted. You guys are AWESOME.

 

[zerocool79346]

Got'er done. Unbelieveable how much OC'ing helps this phone. I "benchmarked"
opening and closing the camera app with and without OC'ing, almost 3 times as fast with the OC set to 768, running EEv3.0.

Anytime, this was honestly the first time I've ever used a cmd prompt so it took a little learning, but Tereg and wag3 made it foolproof.
