[Solved] Got problem when type adb command to root Desire Z

I used this two guides when trying to root my Desire Z
first installed Android_SDK
http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/index.php?title=Howto:_Install_the_Android_SDK
and it works perfect, I can run command adb devices and my device is shown there.
the problem appear when I followed the second guide to downgrade the ROM
http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/index.php?title=HTC_Desire_Z:_Rooting#Downgrade_to_1.34.707.3
under that guide, there is some command must be done:
adb push psneuter /data/local/tmp
adb push misc_version /data/local/tmp
adb shell chmod 777 /data/local/tmp/psneuter
adb shell chmod 777 /data/local/tmp/misc_version
adb shell /data/local/tmp/psneuter
adb shell
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
and when I tried to run "adb push psneuter /data/local/tmp" the command prompt replay "cannot stat 'psneuter': No such file directory"
I already put the "psneuter" in same folder (platform-tools) with adb.exe on directory C: android-sdk-windows.
Anyone has the experience or familiar with this problem? please help
I already search the same problem on google, and find some user has the problem too, but still there is no solution or I already did and useless

Try to cd into the directory that contains adb.exe

Make sure you are in that directory of adb.exe
Example how mine is
cd C:
C: cd android-sdk-windows
C:/android-sdk-windows/> cd platform-tools
C:/android-sdk-windows/platform-toold/>
Then from there do adb comman
C:/android-sdk-windows/platform-tools/>adb push psneutor /data/local/tmp
And so forth and it should go through fine
If you setup sdk in enirovemnt where can run adb anywhere then there less and simple way
All you would have to do is adb push (drag the file into cmd window) /data/local/tmp

thanks bro, work when I drag the file to cmd
but stuck again when I follow step 7 & 8
7. On the computer, open terminal and run the following command:
adb reboot bootloader
8. Follow the on screen directions, on the HTC Desire Z, on flashing the 1.34.707.3 firmware.

can I also ask this question in this thread? or is there anybody have a free time to guide me

after you do those steps in command type adb reboot bootloader once again make sure your in the adb.exe directory
from there phone should reboot int bootloader (white screen) and it will do a check for the PCIMG after it will ask if you want to install update Vol for yes and VOl for no

step 7 work fine, but phone only show bootloader and didn't ask to install update..
maybe stupid question but should i need to run RUU on my computer first after type adb reboot bootloader?

measn you dont have the PCIMG on sdcard
On the computer, open terminal and run the following commands:
adb push psneuter /data/local/tmp
adb push misc_version /data/local/tmp
adb shell chmod 777 /data/local/tmp/psneuter
adb shell chmod 777 /data/local/tmp/misc_version
adb shell /data/local/tmp/psneuter
adb shell
NOTE: You should have the "#" sign instead of the "$". If you do, you have temporary root, and can continue on.
/data/local/tmp/misc_version -s 1.33.405.5
exit
Copy the 1.34.707.3 firmware to the root of the SD card (NOT in any folders).
On the computer, open terminal and run the following command:
adb reboot bootloader
Follow the on screen directions, on the HTC Desire Z, on flashing the 1.34.707.3 firmware.
Once finished you can can continue to the next section.

Ok I got it, it because I copy the RUU on the sd card instead PCIMG.zip, my bad.

umm not that i know of really if you can gain temp root you can back up your apps and all with titanium, but you want a full nandroid your gonna need a custom recovery, and the way your going allows you to downgrade to achive root and custom recovery

[Q] Temp Root and Downgrade issues 2.3.3

Hi Guys.
I have watched your Noob video and it's very funny.
However,I am going to have to risk being a "noob" due to the fact that im unable to post in the dev thread for downgrading.
I have decided to root my DHD and everyone says this is the place to go to learn how to do it.
I have read the instructions throughly and decided to take the plunge, however I'm having some problems
with the method described in the first post!
Please let me tell you what I have done so far.
1) I have read the posts at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=879525 (doesn't seem to apply to me.)
2) I am running Build version 2.50.405.2 (So I need to downgrade.)
3) I have the latest version of HTC Sync installed.
4) I have created a gold card as directed in the "How to downgrade" post and also placed PD98IMG.zip in the root of the gold card
inserted in the phone.
5) My DHD is running Gingerbread 2.3.3, Software number 2.50.405.2 so I followed section b2 of the downgrade thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=905003
However at the end of the cmd process I see a "$" symbol, not the "#" as per the screenshot.
Any ideas anyone?
Cheers.
Greg.
Update: I just tried the method here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1152233
for "TEMP-ROOT ANY Gingerbread build and downgrade to 1.32.405.6"
I manage to temproot using the alternative method of typing the adb commands under the Temp Root heading.
I finally get the "#"
I still have the gold card with PD98IMG.zip in the DHD.
I go to Downgrade step 4 and again use the alternative method and type in the commands only for cmd to say
"adb: not found"
AAAGGGGHHHHHHH!
I have been trying this all day.
I'm going to curl up in a corner and cry now.
Any help greatly appreciated.
Greg.

Hey dude.
Tried this, didn't work.
I successfully manage to get temproot using the code you gave, but then on reboot the below happens.
Always, when I get to the boot loader it recognises PD98IMG.zip and looks like it's loading it. After loading it I get a "Checking PD98IMG.zip" message then the bootloader just returns to the main screen, I am never asked if I want to update!
Getting totally flumoxed with this! :-(
So I have made a youtube video of the problem.

You can't just flash PD98IMG.zip when this is an older base then your current.
When your phone is finished checking, it decide not to flash it cause it's older.

Apologies, I should have said I manage to get temproot using the code supplied. I have updated the post now.
Cheers.

I wonder if my PD98IMG.zip file is corrupt.
I just did an MD5 check but it's tough to tell as the original PD98IMG.zip file I downloaded from here didn't have an MD5 Checksum with it

Hi guys.
Quick update. I have successfully downgraded my DHD.
The issue was a corrupt PD98IMG.zip
I downloaded MD5 Check 2.1 from here and tested the checksum of the PD98IMG.zip against the MD5 Checksup posted at the top of the page here, post 261,
Quick Ref - (C3D244A9F056E48EE3851A14FF52204C)
When MD5 Check 2.1 showed it as not matching, I downloaded a new PD98IMG.zip from here.
I used MD5 Check 2.1 to the checksum this new PD98IMG.zip. Success, it matched.
I transferred the new PD98IMG.zip to the goldcard I made using these instructions (I don't know if I actually needed a goldcard).
I put the Goldcard in my DHD, used cmd to run the below code as given by rohithksaj, thanks bud, which echoed the instructions here.
Code:
adb push fre3vo /data/local/tmp
adb push misc_version /data/local/tmp
adb shell chmod 777 /data/local/tmp/fre3vo
adb shell chmod 777 /data/local/tmp/misc_version
adb shell /data/local/tmp/fre3vo -debug -start F0000000 -end FFFFFFFF
adb shell
after this # type:
/data/local/tmp/misc_version -s 1.31.405.3
exit
adb reboot bootloader
When the DHD rebooted into bootloader, I selected "bootloader", then waited about 5 seconds for the bootloader to recognise the PD98IMG.zip.
the DHD then goes through a process of loading the PD98IMG.zip then it checks the PD98IMG.zip.
Finally the screen that eluded me appeared, the "Do you wish to start update?" screen.
I chose yes, 5 mins later I had a downgraded phone.
Thank you all for your help on this issue.
Props to you all.
Greg.

My next question is how do I change the thread title to "XXXX -Solved"?

[Q] Problems downgrading/rooting Desire Z Gingerbread.

Hello everyone!
Not my phone, just helping a friend
We got problems downgrading from Gingerbread to earlier version of Android.
So, wanted to root, flash custom recovery, then MIUI.
Started with this tut, then understood, that Gingerbread isn't rootable and it needs to be downgraded.
So, tried [GUIDE] Downgrade G2 (2.3.X) & DZ (2.3.X) & mT4g (2.3.4) & DHD w/ S-ON to Stock Froyo and HTC Desire Z: Firmware Downgrade (Gingerbread).
So, installed JRE, JDK, SDK (ADB), drivers.
With phone plugged to PC (USB Debuggind ON), ADB & Device manager sees it.
So, moved files to C:\android-sdk\platform-tools and ran cmd (administrator privileges). Till "adb shell it's good". But, after that, when ran chmod, it says, that permissions denied.
Question:
What we're doing wrong and how to fix it?
We've read so many guides, but unsuccessfully so far..
Device HTC Desire Z
Android 2.3.3
Kernel version 2.6.35.10-g7b95729

Thanks about helping!

Is it permission denied when u try to change the version? If permission denied during change the version, run this command:
cd /data/local/tmp/misc_version
chmod 777 misc_version
./misc_version -s 1.00.000.0
sync

Are you sure your temp root is working?

aDeQ666, no, it wont chmod when typing chmod 777 /data/local/tmp/fre3vo, so - no temp root for us. Tried visionary, z4root, SuperOneClick - nothing works
It was updated from Froyo to Gingerbread via OTA, i think that's the issue? What else we can do? Thanks!

Could you post a copy/pastebin of your cmd when running it? It'll be much easier to spot the error if we can see exactly what you did/are doing.

I have one problem when i tried to root htc desire. i already done the downgrade and now i am want to root... i folllowed the instructions on the link you gave untill this
[chmod 755 /data/local/tmp/*
/data/local/tmp/psneuter
NOTE: You will drop out of the shell after this command. Restart the shell using:
adb shell
cd /data/local/tmp
./busybox md5sum /dev/block/mmcblk0p18]
well after command:
chmod 755 /data/local/tmp/*
/data/local/tmp/psneuter
i`m not dropping out of the shell and the next instruction results with a "cd: bad substitution" msg. what should i do?
sorry for my bad english

When do u received the error? Is it when u downgrading or try to root? Are u using the wiki guide?

What I've down a few times now (and this does work) is use the fre3vo guide (the one you linked) to downgrade then continue with the guide below from step 14 or 15 to gain perm root.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=905261
Hope that helps.
Edit: You're better off flashing 1.34.405.5 as the one on the CM wiki may not be working. Its worth a shot IMO.

Hi, i have been trying to change my misc version but it gives me permission denied and i have # (root) already. So i tried chmod after cd which didn't have a problem but now when i try harder./misc_version it says the file not found.
Please help

I used this guide. it worked fine for me =)

*faceslapps self* sorry. I was a tad too fast. I didn't see that someone allready posted that guide here.

This is the command that i use before this:

cd /data/local/tmp/misc_version
chmod 777 misc_version
./misc_version -s 1.00.000.0

I used this guide when I had to go through the pain of downgrading my desire z http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=15851843 . It worked very easily, just follow the instructions nice and carefully, the problem is that you need ADB set up for you to use that guide though.
Once you downgrade though, I would use the guide here for rooting your phone http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/index.php?title=HTC_Vision#Rooting_the_G2 .
I hope that helps, that's what I used for my phone.
To be more precise in regards to the problem though, i just realised that i had the same problem as you when i was trying to run the chmod command where i had temproot but i kept getting "permission denied". As it turned out, i had accidentally written "adb push fre3vo /data/local/tmp/" instead of "adb push fre3vo /data/local/tmp" when i was following that downgrading guide. Basically what my mistake did was, it pushed fre3vo into a new folder within /tmp instead of just placing fre3vo in /tmp. So what you can do to figure out where fre3vo is, navigate to the /tmp folder using CD (in adb shell) and once you get to /tmp, type "ls". This will then display all the contents of /tmp and then you will be able to see if you accidentally created a folder like i did. Then once you check that, when you go to run the chmod command, you have to run it like "chmod 777 /data/local/tmp/**possible accidental folder name**/fre3vo", see if that works now .

Use this guide should do the job for you www.desirez.strawmetal.com

yes I did and all went well till executing zergrush... here I get a premission denied

are you sure u copied zergrush in good directory, or try giving chmod again

gusta1, be sure you are in the directory where you put the files. For example, if you extracted them in D:\WFS\APPS then in CMD you need to type command: chdir D:\WFS\APPS and after that start with step 5 from tutorial.

I have the same problem as gusta1 even I'm in proper folder I've got following message:

But my history is different. I have S-off my Wildfire S successfuly at the begining when I was on 2.3.3. However I put phone to my wife and once phone asked for update to 2.3.5 she allowed it and S-off was gone. Since that I can not move, everywhere is some error.

Hi,
Try this:
After entering "adb shell":
run these commands in adb shell:

rm /data/local/tmp/sh
Then continue with the step to execute zerg rush.

Hi
I've got an UK T-mobile S_ON WFS with
HBoot 0.90.000
Android 2.3.3
Rom 1.34.11.03
HTC unlock bootloader fails with error 190 and tip http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=21120374 fails with Hboot bypassed.
Am I likely to have any major problems? Don't want to brick my phone.
Thanks

[UPDATED] Get s-off and root for 6.01.605.05 software

Update: Found better instructions here and updated this post with them: http://rootzwiki.com/topic/27003-root-dinc2-on-any-firmware-may-want-to-sticky-later/
Be warned that this has been reported to cause bootloops on Sense ROMs, proceed at your own risk.
A few disclaimers before I begin:
1) I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANYTHING YOU DO TO YOUR PHONE. ANYTHING YOU ATTEMPT TO DO YOU DO AT YOUR OWN RISK
2) This method requires use of adb and is not for thr faint of heart. your phone WILL be bootlooping along the way; this is exactly what we want (at a specific point)
Now to begin in earnest
First find what we need!
We need the patched misc version, tacoroot, and the earlier GB RUU
Modified htc drivers or linux, both with working adb installation
disable fastboot on your device

disable fastboot on your device
Now we push, make executable, and execute the tacoroot method
adb push tacoroot.sh /data/local/
adb shell chmod 755 /data/local/tacoroot.sh
adb shell /data/local/tacoroot.sh
At this point we will run tacoroot with the --recovery, (push volume up and power at the triangle) (reboot after this) --setup and --root (run one, wait for the device to settle then run the next)
AT THIS POINT YOUR DEVICEWILL BE BOOTLOOPING; THAT IS PERFECTLY NORMAL
Now we downgrade the misc_version
adb push misc_version /data/local
adb shell chmod 777 /data/local/misc_version
adb shell /data/local/sh -c '/data/local/tmp/misc_version -s 2.18.605.3'
If everything so far has succeeded, youre almost there!
adb reboot bootloader
fastboot oem rebootRUU
fastboot erase cache
fastboot flash zip <your RUU>
fastboot reboot

All credit goes to jcase on the RootzWiki forums, I can't try this out myself but I thought I'd share it for those who could use it:
Here are my instructions to preform this. If you do pack this in a script/program , please follow the license that comes with Tacoroot and misc_version
Download https://github.com/d...n_universal.zip
and unzip it
Preform manual tacoroot exploit
adb reboot recovery
(Reboot normally once in recovery, this creates the directory for the log. Continue once booted)
adb shell
rm /data/data/recovery/*
ln -s /data/local.prop /data/data/recovery/log
exit
adb reboot
adb shell
echo 'ro.kernel.qemu=1' > /data/local.prop
exit
adb reboot
(Device will appear to bootloop, but ADB will work, continue once adb is working)
adb push misc_version /data/local/
adb shell
chmod 755 /data/local/misc_version
/data/local/misc_version --set_version 1.11.605.11
rm /data/data/recovery/log
echo 'ro.kernel.qemu=0' > /data/local.prop
adb reboot
Now you can flash the proper ruu to s-off with

I'm just a little unclear about what comes before and after this...
Can we get a post that has ALL the code/instructions spelled out? For instance, the "Preform manual tacoroot exploit"... is that the tacoroot code from before in its entirety, or just a certain part of it?
And then when the instructions in this post are done, are we to then follow the downgrade instructions from beginning to end?
Sorry to be pesty, but really want this to work and I'm just unsure of what all to do. Many many super thanks.

After you do this, use an RUU to downgrade and then use revolutionary to obtain s-off. I'll look into the tacoroot in a minute, like I said these aren't my instructions.
Edit: Nothing like a quick google search to make you feel like an idiot lol. The adb commands are the manual tacoroot exploit. I'll update the OP to make it more clear.

OP updated. Make sure to post and tell me if this works.

Thanks, but still unclear about one thing. To flash the RUU, do we follow all the instructions in the downgrade vivow .98 thread?

You have to combine all the instructions.
If you go to the rootzwiki page I spelled it out. Just can't link to external sites because I'm new to xda.

Perfect. Thanks and can't wait to give this a try in the morning.
Do you (or anyone) think it will matter that I have already (successfully) used the HTCDev boot unlocker?

It took some tinkering (and a bit of sweating), but I was able to get this to work successfully.
I had previously used the HTCdev tool to unlock and was running clockwork recovery. I had to flash the stock recovery and do a factory restore, but still got a "99 unknown fail" when trying to flash the RUU at the end of this process.
A quick google search told me to relock the bootloader with "fastboot oem lock." After the relock, I had to do ANOTHER factory restore and then everything worked fine.
One difference for me: the bootloop started earlier, ie after "adb shell /data/local/tacoroot.sh --root". But I just continued to use adb when I could and got through it.
About to run Revolutionary. Thanks to everyone up to this point! Such a fantastic community!

not to rain on your parade but this makes no sense. after the adb reboot recovery..... i do the adb shell and then it cant find the file/directory

Are you rebooting out of the recovery? You do "adb reboot recovery," and then when you get to the red triangle, hold down volume up AND volume down and then the power button, reboot, let the phone reboot back into normal, and then continue the instructions.

unstuck! ... then stuck again
Trying this on a warranty replacement Dinc2 that's got Android 2.3.4, Software number 6.01.605.05 710RD ... the above post got me past the red triangle "!" thing, so I proceeded to:
Code:
adb shell
rm /data/data/recovery/*
ln -s /data/local.prop /data/data/recovery/log
exit
adb reboot
adb shell
echo 'ro.kernel.qemu=1' > /data/local.prop
and got:
Code:
$ echo 'ro.kernel.qemu=1' > /data/local.prop
cannot create /data/local.prop: permission denied
Is it significant that I'm seeing a "$" prompt instead of a "#"? or is that later in the process? Is it significant that, after the sym-linking of /data/local.prop to the log file and then rebooting, my phone had no signal and seemed pretty inoperable, but then after the write to /data/local.prop failed (and I sat googling around for a bit) the phone rebooted itself (no adb commands, and I didn't even breath in its direction) and came back to having signal and my settings, etc. and full operability?
Any help appreciated - I'll come back to this tomorrow ...

Thanks a lot, quick question though, will this send my phone into a continuous bootloop if I don't run aosp?

Interesting. Looking over the code and tacoroot.sh, nothing actually puts the misc_version where it needs to be lol. Updated the instructions and added "adb push misc_version /data/local" before "adb shell chmod...", try that.

yeah i was just going to say looks like a the push misc_version was missing which solved everything for me.
as for others with this problem if the push misc_version doesn't seem to help i'd take a loot at this post here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1526316 for manually changing the version.
