Root DETAILED Leak Root Tutorial

Nope... I appreciate the quick response though... All I got was

tp-macbook-pro:tools Penny$ ./adb shell
$ sh runinlinuxfromtools.sh
sh: Can't open runinlinuxfromtools.sh
$ sh runinlinuxadb.sh
sh: Can't open runinlinuxadb.sh


does this look right?

the only thing that should be on my sd card at this point is a rom? I have erislightning 3.02.zip right now... the SDK and Hack files were strictly for mac usage right?
 
WOWWWW I got it!!! I feel like Nooby McNooberson

I just realized after 2 hours that I still had the necessary files in the Hack folder... still in the Hack folder, not in the SDK folder so thats why terminal wasn't reading them... it worked right away HOORRAYYY

thanks surg!!
 
I finally had time to sit down and successfully root. Found out I needed HTC sync. Got everything installed, it worked beautifully. Thanks surgeon! You are an inspiration!
 
I tried to root my phone but the trackball doesn't work. I have the custom booter by Amen_Ra installed into my phone, but i can't use the trackball to select the rom i want to use.

I could use the command line if i knew the commands. Does /help work?

Try rebooting your phone and then going into recovery again.
 
Just tried to no positive results. Now I think of it. The track ball doesn't work at all. Should I just get a replacement or drop it and use my insurance

Either way its free :D take it to verizon and show them that the trackball is not working (I doubt it was from the rooting process but who knows) and they will either offer you a moto droid or another eris depending on your local store

Guys, kamots is actually trying to do what erisuser1 suggested he do: re-flash an HTC-signed ROM to fix what ills his phone. kamots can't use Amon_RA's recovery due to trackball issues and has been using Clockworkmod recovery and had some issues switching ROMs. Thanks.

P.S. hopefully, he saw the replies in the other thread and is all fixed-up by now. Good luck.

Oh ok, I just didn't understand what he was talking about, and if he wants a good response I would ask erisuser1 because he came up with the method kamots wants to use

Thanks for the heads up alien. Kamots, you have had a tough road with this root thing. I referred Kamot to EU1's method because he could not get his PC to recognize the phone. I thought that EU's method was perfect for such a situation. If you stick to that thread Kamlots, you wll be in very capable hands. I don't bash one's grammar, but I honestly had a difficult time understanding what you were looking to do.
 
Okay, I need some help guys. I just rooted for the first time, and am excited about it. I'm on Evil Eris 3.

I wanted to download SetCPU, but just ran into a major hitch. My phone, while still plugged into my computer, is not recognized by it at all so I have no way of getting the app onto my phone (or anything else ever, for that matter). I use a Mac - I saw a couple posts about HTC Sync, but they're for PCs and I need some help. Can anyone point me in the right direction for how to fix this miscommunication between my phone and computer?

Can you tell us a little more info?

Are you trying to transfer a file via mounting your phone as a disk drive or via adb? If abd, then make sure that you are set to 'charge-only' and 'usb debugging'.

Can you choose? if so, how? sorry if this is a dumb question.

Choose? Between downloading directly from your phone or via the PC? Yep! Usually, Mac users (Intel-based) don't have issues transferring files to/from their phones...

If you download directly from your phone, your downloaded file will go into the /sdcard's "download" directory (i.e., "/sdcard/download"). From there you'll probably have to move it with a file explorer/manager (Astro for example) to the top-level (root) directory of the /sdcard. There's a good, visual example of moving files using Estrongs File Manager (ES File Manager) in the http://androidforums.com/all-things-root-eris/127861-universal-eris-root-dummies.html thread (you just want to know how to move the file--not the other instructions).

When transferring from you Mac, the easiest way would be to simply connect the USB cable between the phone and Mac and make sure that when you connect it you select "Disk drive" in the notification pull-down at the top of the screen. Then use your file manager on the Mac to copy/paste or drag/drop the desired file to the top-level of the /sdcard directory.

Using adb from the SDK is a little trickier, but I'll give you the highlights. First, make sure that you have USB debugging enabled on the phone (Settings -> Applications -> Development -> USB debugging (checked)). Then, when you connect the USB cable to the PC, be sure to select "Charge-only" (not "Disk drive"). Then, you would install the SDK, go to your command prompt (Terminal?), change to the SDK's tools directory, and enter "adb push youfilename /sdcard/yourfilename".

Your easiest / best bet would be to transfer directly from the phone or mounting as a disk drive.

I should also mention that verifying the MD5 sums of files that you copy to your phone with the intention of flashing is always a good idea. That way, you can ensure that you have a full, uncorrupted, complete file as you intended.

Hope this was helpful.
 
I'm a bit of a noob so please forgive me. I think since I flashed kaosfroyo rom my Mac no longer sees my phone or sd card no matter how I connect it. Suggestions?

Not sure... I only know that punk.kaos's Froyo version has come a long way, but is still a work-in-progress (v24), but I don't see anything about USB not working in the thread on XDA... :confused:

Perhaps you could post in that thread ([ROM]KaosFroyo V24 [07/21] [FROYO] - xda-developers) a question and see if anyone over there is having the same issue? I'm not a Mac guy (my daughter is, but she's got her Macbook at college), so I'm a little handcuffed :) re. this.

Good luck!
