Is there a way of doing this yet?
Or do we have to shell root after each reboot?

Since I starting using Z4Root never had to do a shell root. Done flash, push apps with AC-SWM and the optimizer. Also used ADB method to change build.prop.
Before that used SuperOneClick to root and shell root, sometimes took MANY interations to get to take.
Try using Chewitt's Installer.
Or in your prompt, write:
Code:
adb shell
su
mount -o remount,rw -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock2 /system
chmod 4755 /system/bin/sh

I have successfully installed a Superuser.apk but it does not seem to be working properly. Titanium reports that Su does not elevate to root.
I have debugging enabled and I have connected through adb shell but nothing seems to work.
Anyone have any success? If so, which version did you use?
Here is my method
I download 2nd link from here :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=682828
After unzip (E:\Android\ROOT\step4\ directory for my example) :
adb shell mount -o remount,rw -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock2 /system
adb push E:\Android\ROOT\step4\system\bin\su /system/bin/su
adb shell chmod 6777 /system/bin/su
adb install E:\Android\ROOT\step4\system\app\Superuser.apk
adb reboot
trying this now, will report
thanks a lot works like a charm..
i can confirm this works perfect
very good... spread 30min to install it yesterday night...
Will be included in new version. Sorry just forgotten
Regards
Bin4ry
You make very good job so no problem for that
Thank a lot for your hard work !

I am trying to do same thing with mediascape , but I get error
"Failure [INSTALL_FAILED_DEXOPT]", I am reading on google that its something related to the .odex file, how can I install/or whatever I have to do in order to be able to put mediascape back.
I know I just could restore and than root again and remove rm command for mediascape from ch file, but I am trying to remove more branding apps of telenor firmware and flash and root again with clean system.
PS: Messing with my phone as I don't have any knowledge in programming...just google.
Thx
Hi
You can try to do this :
adb shell
su
mount -o remount,rw -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock2 /system
cd /system/app
cp /sdcard/apps/mediascape* .
cp /sdcard/apps/MediascapePluginManager* .
reboot

I got mediascape back as I did't find better media explorer.
One thing can anyone explain what this lines of code mean(Jerpelea's mediascape restore), each separate if u can, I am trying to understand. As I said I am no programmer but I like to learn.
Thanks.
I've tried doing this 4 times... and it's not working ^^;;
Is it missing a step? Or is this all that I need to do?
I get no errors when doing it yet the program isn't working a shown in the screens realunited... ^^;
taye look into the second post of the guide thread -- it has all the info necessary, else: poke me on irc

It's done from a windows dos prompt. In windows, click on START > RUN > then enter CMD. Next do as mentioned. Happy entering
Confirmed... works for me as well.
hey guys,
ive just started to learn how to modify apks and use adb.
my problem is that after i pull the file, i modify the icon i want to change, re-sign it and push it back to the phone. after i reinstall, the icons have not changed :S i re-pulled it, and the icons in the drawable_hdpi file are the one i wanted.
also, completely unrelated to that.... in adb when i try to run adb remount, it says permission denied, but im rooted and i even tried running the shell root beforehand aswell.
i ran a search and followed the various instructions from the different threads and forums but im just stuck at that point
thanks guys

If you're getting permission denied how have you pushed it back?

i push it to the sdcard lol because it wont let me push to the system/app folder nor the data/app folder. i check my screen and a pop up appears saying that superuser granted access, so i have that.

Then it's no wonder your icons haven't changed if you haven't installed it to the phone.
Try, but keep your phones screen on whilst you try it...
adb shell (enter)
su (enter)
...allow super user access on phone...
mount -o remount,rw -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock2 /system

ok i just tried that. when i typed su, it echoed and on my phone it said "unknown has been grandted superuser permissions" so i didnt need to click allow or anything.
then i typed the mount -o remount,rw -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock2 /system and got mount: operation not permitted
any ideas?

yup that worked, i got an echo without errors
EDIT: ok after that i then tried to push the apk to the system/app and also the data/app folders, but i got a different error this time.
it said failed to copy .apk permission denied

Try, in a terminal on the phone...
su
chmod 4755 /system/bin/sh
I always struggle trying to get permissions after I've first rooted but can never remember the exact sequence, but do know it's a combination of what I've suggested.

EDIT: finally got it working... i pushed the file to sdcard then used the terminal emulator and used:
su
mount -o remount,rw -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock2 /system
cd sdcard
cat x.apk /data/app/x.apk
and that worked perfectly lol
tinysu: Compatible "su" command for Root Explorer / for HC images and what not?
So, I just installed HoneyComb to my NC's eMMC. Works well!
Unfortunately apps such as Root Explorer are not too happy because the "su" command provided with these ROMs is too chatty and that confuses them.
So, here is a very quiet, working "su" command. With it, Root Explorer will happily remount partitions, etc.
Note that, like the ROM's "su" command, SuperUser is out of the picture so use with care.
To install, using adb:
Code:
adb shell
mount -o remount,rw /dev/block/mmcblk0p5 /system
exit
adb push su /system/
adb shell
busybox cp /system/su /system/bin/
mount -o remount,ro /dev/block/mmcblk0p5 /system
All done. Note that the "busybox cp" should preserve the application's suid bit.
been there done that... lol
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=11304464&postcount=46
no worries.
Even the Superuser application works now: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=953110\

Hi
I used the following method to obtain root access
--------------------
>./adb push asroot2 /data/local/
>./adb shell chmod 0755 /data/local/asroot2
>./adb shell
$ /data/local/asroot2 /system/bin/sh
$ mount -o remount,rw -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtbblock3 /system
mount: Operation not permitted
--------------------
I got to this point after devoting a whole day to this and now I am stuck. Also I am not sure what the /dev/block/mtbblock3 does but when I cd to the block directory, I dont see mebblock3.
Q:: I have seen on the web that the above is working for people. So why is not working for me? Can someone please help?
i used an app called universal androot to root my phone. its probably the simplest way. all you do is open up the app, click a button, done
Still issues
Thank you for your response. In the future I will use that app But for now I want to access the phone from ubuntu and run this from linux terminal. Any ideas?
it should be mtdblock3 instead. But if you root using universal androot you will also be able to obtain root permissions in the shell.

Sure it's called root, To get full time shell root you unpack your boot.img change the default.prop to insecure repack and flash.
Just like below.
Code:
[email protected]:~/Desktop$ adb shell

Adbd insecure app also works. In your shell, just type SU and accept the SuperSU/SuperUser prompt
