I have used the instantroot method of rooting my fone (hero)
How do i know if it has worked ?
is there a new app or terminal window installed lets me control apps and settings etc
The easiest way to test if the device is rooted is to open another command prompt in the tools dir and type
adb root
If it returns that adb is already running in root, then you're all set.
Try google next time.

My GPS works OK only if I restart the phone with GPS enabled.
But I have still nord-america.... in system/etc/gps.conf
I was trying many methods to change this gps.conf file also root explorer.
What everything must be installed and enabled, please do not tell me just the last step.
When I was in Terminal emulator I was typing #SU and it was OK, but after typing "adb shell" I've got error message.
I have also Titanium & busy box and "USB Debug Mode" enabled, nothing works.
My root is not Writable
Hi, did you type adb shell on your phone's terminal? Then, don' do it adb is for the android sdk on the computer! what method are you doing? Maybe they were using adb to speed up the process, because typing on the terminal emulator makes any terminal typing process a nightmare...
SO: if you use terminal emulator, just type the commands for the editing,
or isntall android sdk, and you can use the adb commands

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
it's enough to install SGS tools and there it's possible to switch
----psy psy----
Leave on open space and make so:
* #3214789650 #
1) Commands
2) Delete GPS data
3) TTFF test
4) Start GPS
5) wait for the termination of all operations (the button "Start GPS" again will open)
6) Back
7) Get position
8) Wait for 1-2 minutes (if will find 8 and more satelite you can interrupt)
It is more than anything in gps.conf it is not necessary to do... Satelites catches within 30 seconds...
Forget about gps.conf...
I tried a million different ways of trying to get my GPS to work and to work fast, including the methods mentioned above. I don't say that these method are ineffective, but I found them to be not effective enough. The only thing that truely made my GPS work is enabling the WiFi/GPRS support for GPS. Yeah you have to spend some traffic, but you have satelites locked in 3-5 seconds. Worth trying I think. (;
Hey Guys,
Would it be possible to give Samsung's stock app "My Files" root access through su or perhaps modifying the code? I purchased root explorer but to be completely honest like the feel of the original app.
No.
Ability to access root must be built into the application. There are only a few that have it. Root Explorer is by far the most popular and most used.
Isn't android based on linux, and don't applications run like programs? So in theory couldn't you use a sudo or su like command that would give the program full rights?
I know it's got to be possible given the environment that it's running in and I feel like it would be relatively rudimentary.
With root access you can use android terminal emulator and the su command to get root access. Or you can use Android Debug Bridge (adb) from a Windows, Mac or linux computer. Since you are new to android, perhaps you should do some searching and reading so you can gain some general knowledge. In the guides linked in my signature you can find some directions for using adb and terminal emulator.
But still, installed applications will only function the way they are programed, and MyFiles does not have root access.
Thanks for your help, i'll look into adb. Inevitably I want to start developing on the kernel level but thought this would be a good place to start.
Have you tried ES File Explorer? It is free and has root access (must be enabled within app settings).
I also was not a fan of Root Explorer.
How to root LG optimus one
I have an lg optimus one and i have been trying to root it for ages.
Ginger break didn't work neither did super one click.
I had only one option to down grade my phone to android 2.2.
I tryed that and it worked. I rooted my phone and tryed to install a custom rom but i didnt work. So i serched for adb on the internet and i could not find it. I installed android sdk and didn't find it in there so i found a boot animation changer that had adb in it you need to download it from this link: Link
So here is how you do it.
First connect your phone with usb debuging enabled to your computer.
Next open command prompt and direct it to the folder with adb in it.
Now type these following lines in to the command prompt:
Code:
adb devices
Code:
adb shell
Now you should see a # simble or a $ simble
Now type in:
Code:
echo 1 > /data/local/lge_adb.conf
Now reeboot your phone.
Now you need superoneclick you can get it from this guy full credit to him:
Link
Select the gingerbreak methoid and click root.
Now you should be rooted good job
Hey try pneuter method in super one click, it surely works!
as gingerbreak is useless
I was wondering if we can manage commands like
adb logcat > somefile.txt
adb fastboot flash some.IMG
Like commands which we use during custom ROM installation or while testing it by connecting to pc.
Is there any way to manage these commands inside an android terminal emulator app.
I tried to use those command directly after switching to root access but it didn't work out for me.
Does anyone knows if it is possible and if it is what is the correct way to do it.
I am not searching for app just a way to do it through your phone.
Sent from my HOV using CM10....
I have a locked samsung galaxy s5..I have it rooted with usb debugging enableled. I cant remember the PIN as its an old phone. So I dont have access to install anything on the phone.
I use adb ...type SU and I get the prompt. Whats the command line if I want to remove the locksettings.db to a folder called droid on my C: drive.
I also used android commander and root explorer. I cant get get root access on either program. I dont have access to the phone to install insecure adb or busy box.
