How to verify your phone is "rooted" - Hero, G2 Touch Android Development

Hi all,
I've recently flashed to MoDaCo 2.2 however I'm just assuming my device got rooted at the same time - but I don't know for sure.
What's the easiest way to verify it has been rooted?
Thanks!

1. use search forum or google..
2. adb shell su
thats it

It keeps saying device not found, but works for my mytouch and G1. Any ideas?

Have you enabled USB debugging? Settings-Applications-Development

Yup did that too...my other phones pick it up no issues.

I also get the exact same problem (i.e. Device not found) - I guess it is a hint that it isn't rooted maybe (although I assumed it was automatic with flashing MoDaCo 2.2)?

Sound like a problem with your driver. But you should have been able to connect before to install the custom rom?
Download astro file manager and you should be able to see files that you couldn't see before

OK I got a work around. You need to restore your PC to a point BEFORE you plug in your hero. I did this and now works great.

How I might undo root process?
I think that replace chmod 4755 permision to default in the "su" file, but I don't know how to
No need to do, but I'm intererested in the concept

There is a thread on how to unroot:
Open Windows Console and connect Hero with PC
write this:
fastboot boot cm-hero-recovery.img
adb shell mount /system
adb shell rm /system/app/Superuser.apk
adb shell rm /system/bin/su
adb shell reboot

Deleting system apps after root?? (Root Explorer won't do it)

did you mount /system in rw mode? (it's ro by default)
U dont have write access to system partition in normal use if i read the tutorial right. U have to do it with an update.zip (editing the update script) or with adb both u have to do in recovery menu from modaco i think. Tell me if i am wrong.
Sry for my bad english
@cezarL yes I did
@xtcislove I wish u were wrong..seems like pain.. anyway to do it without a pc?

Damn, you're right. Previously, I had deleted an .apk just to check if it's working, then reinstalled the app right away.
But I just tested now, it looks like after a reboot, the .apk magically reappears, and the application is running as usual

ye..I'm sure it has something to do with the root limitations Paul mentioned in his rooting guide. hope it'll be fixed soon.

Try this: Boot in recovery menu and try the following commands:
adb remount
adb shell rm /system/app/APP.apk
adb shell rm /data/app/APP.apk
where APP.apk is the filename of the apk with the .apk extention, remember case-sensitive!
for example:
adb remount
adb shell rm /system/app/FriendStream.apk
adb shell rm /system/app/FriendStream.odex
take a look before if your app has a odex or try this: (here u need only one command)
adb remount
adb shell rm /system/app/*FriendStream*
Good luck and have fun =)
Edit: Just find a topic =)

I'm trying to do these things in windows at the moment. No issues getting in the recovery with the windows scripts. But when I try to open a ADB Shell after I've gone to recovery I can't really do anything with it and the recovery hangs (not controllable with the track pad).
Anyone can tell me what I'm doing wrong?
You're not doing anything wrong, from what I've seen opening a new adb instance on Windows will kill the server created by the .bat file used for recovery... which means the connection to the device is lost. I haven't looked into it further, but it might be fixeable somehow.
Ah I see, so basicly you undo the patched recovery by opening a new session. It does work properly under Linux then? I run ubuntu on my netbook so It's not a big issue anyway. Thanks for the tip, gonna try under linux now!
I'm having the same problems as:
http://android.modaco.com/content/h...co-com/307401/removing-sys-apps/#entry1256015
I removed a load of HTC widgets but I get strange entries on the widget menu. Anyone know how to get rid of these?
Also, I removed Stocks (.apk and .odex), now I get a force close on 'Accounts & sync'. Anyone know how to remove Stocks properly?
Cheers.
After running the bat file to get into recovery, start a new cmd prompt in windows and use again adb-nilezon for shell commands instead of ordinary adb, and it wont be killed.
This has worked for me atleast

The best, foolproof, failsafe way is to remove them from the rom before installing it... and remember that some services are still required, weather you use them or not.
But, if a system app is already installed you need to remove:
the apk from /system/app
the data from /data/data/appname
the cache from /cache/dalvik-cache
Do not remove Accounts & Sync...
Thanks for the answer.
I guess now is a good time to bake my own ROM!

"Step 5: Plug your phone into the computer via USB, Make sure that the connection type in the Notification Pull-Down Bar is "Charge Only", not "Disk Drive" or else this won't work.
If your computer asks you to restart after the new drivers were installed, do that now.
Once ready, type these commands in cmd prompt from your adb tools directory.
Code:
adb push unrevoked-forever.zip /sdcard/
adb push flash_image /data/local/
adb push rageagainstthecage-arm5.bin /data/local/tmp/

If you've used adb (eg. you have the SDK installed on your computer), then you have the drivers already installed. Otherwise, unzip the file and when you plug your computer into your phone, point the hardware wizard to the folder that you unzipped
Rage is an included binary in gfree_temp-root.zip
Got it Thank You.
I got to where I have to use ADB, and while trying to $ adb push su /sdcard/su
It won't let allow me, it'll say access denied. (I've even put adb shell before that command)
I type in adb shell:

After you do the temp root, shut down adb (I am using a windows machine so I ctrl alt del and find it in task manager and shut it down that way) It should restart by itself when you do the perm root commands. ( you probably know this, but don't enter the # sign, it should be there by itself)
Thank You sooo much! I got the S-Off now finally, thank you very much!
Is there anything else I should do before I decided to Install a Custom ROM? Can I install a ROM from this Recovery? or Do I need to do a further step. According to the Tutorial I have Perm Root now but I've never used this Recovery before

Download ROM manager from the market, spend the few bucks for the upgrade and then install clockworkmod recovery through ROM Manager (if you haven't done this already). Then, do some more reading about doing a Nandroid backup and you're ready to go! Now, the fun begins....lol!
I don't mind buying ROM Manager Premium but can I do that with the Free Version? I downloaded the Free Version of ROM Manager v3.0.0.7 and when I selected Flash Clockwork Mod Recovery it gave me "an error occurred while attempting to run privileged commands!". Does the Paid Version go past that or am I missing something?

do you have the superuser app now in your applications drawer?
edit: Also, disconnect the phone from the USB. That might give ROM manager a problem accessing your sd card if you're still connected.
yeah I have Superuser Permissions but it FC's when you try to open it

Try uninstalling ROM Manager and after that see if you still get a force close when you try to open Superuser.

[Q] Copying files to /system | S-ON | HTC One X

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?

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.

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

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.

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 found that I had to plug out the kindle. Un install the device from device manager. Then with adb already enabled plug it back in. Then it should fail to automatically install the driver from there you can install.

How I re-rooted the KF2 after much aggrivation and little sleep
Actually, I just re-rooted but, was not that simple. Had to do some manual commands using adb to push su and whatnot. Took several fails, too.
Credits to all of XDA-devs
First thing you have to do tho is: Navigate to your Android SDK folder and download the newer drivers for the KF2 then update the drivers in Windows. Launch "Android SDK Manager" then click Tools then "Manage Addon Sites". In the next window, click the tab at the top titled, "User Defined Sites". Then, click "New" and add this line:
http://kindle-sdk.s3.amazonaws.com/addon.xml
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Next: install the Gen 2 drivers and anything else you are missing from the Android 4.0.3 package.
Then: Using "Device Manager" in Windows, update the drivers for your Kindle and reboot your computer.
Then, do this: Root_with_Restore_by_Bin4ry_v18
Then use this: tf101_ics_root.zip
Then download this:
Then: unzip or unrar that and take "Superuser.apk" from the system\app folder and "su" from system\bin and paste them in the
"adt-bundle-windows\sdk\platform-tools" directory.
Then while in "adt-bundle-windows\sdk\platform-tools", hold "Shift" while right-clicking anywhere in the folder that is empty and choose, "Open Command Window Here"
In the Command Window:
Code:
adb devices
adb shell
rm -r /data/local/tmp
ln -s /data/ /data/local/tmp
exit
adb reboot
adb devices
adb shell
echo 'ro.kernel.qemu=1' > /data/local.prop
exit
adb reboot
adb devices
adb shell mount -o remount,rw /system
adb push su /system/xbin/su
adb shell
chown 0.0 /system/xbin/su
chmod 06755 /system/xbin/su
rm /data/local.prop
exit
adb reboot
adb install Superuser.apk
You should now be rooted. Open the superuser app and make sure it's up to date and working.
If after any of these commands you get "permissions denied" you have to start over.
I'll attach that "Superuser-3.1.3-arm-signed.zip" at the bottom here:

I had the same issue. I updated SDK, uninstalled all drivers, unplugged the fire2. Then in SDK went to tools, manage addon sites, selected user defined sites, added new and copied: http://kindle-sdk.s3.amazonaws.com/addon.xml, then ok, close, scrolled to the botom of SDK manager, under extras there were 2 kindle fire options, I selected both and installed them, then closed SDK manager.
I wen to the folder were SDK resides, then folder: extras\amazon\kindle_fire_usb_driver and installed the fire USB drivers, then pluged in the kindle, then execute the instructions posted here (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2051270) and everything worked like a charm. I hope this works for you! (BTW this solution was developed by someone else can't remember who, but I founded it, used it and shared it).

im stuck at : Using "Device Manager" in Windows, update the drivers for your Kindle and reboot your computer.
when i try to update kindle windows doesnt automatically find drivers . which folder shall i give so it finds drivers ?

Try removing the drivers and then installing them using the installer in the post above yours.
