Hi everyone. Having gone through this processes with two phones, I put together a lengthly blog post outlining what you need to do to get your phone rooted and running with custom ROMs from the XDA forums. I've linked to each post on these forums that you need to use to get everything going!

Very useful for start-user!! Anyway, If someone start doing this advanced things and have no idea about what he/she doing, than if something goes wrong, it's really hard support this people.
So, I would like to say: Do rooting, do custom recovery, use custom ROMs, but READ ABOUT WHAT YOU ARE TRYING TO DO!!
Than if something goes to fail, you can without any problems follow steps to repair your bricked phone.
Good luck!!
Thanks!! Here is a link to a short video review I just posted of the LG Optimus T with the Megatron ROM and overclocked to 806 mhz!
http://tablet-crunch.blogspot.com/2011/01/lg-optimus-t-one-video-review.html
I would go to youtube from there to watch the video in high def (it's small on my blog).
I will also be doing a video soon showing everyone how you go through those steps, so when you are confused by the written instructions you can use my video to supplement it.
The site didn't say if it's for what version of Optimus One....
XDA site stressed out that 2.2.1 should be downgrade to 2.2 before rooting....Am I right?

Okay I posted this also in the Themes forum for Nexus but I wanted to see if anyone could assist. Someone in the theme forum asked about the bootanimation.zip that shows us the cool animation during boot, while reading this it reminded me of the behold 2. See below
What are the permissions for bootanimation.zip if they were left open to non root then this may-b a way to get root with unlocking the bootloader. This would be the same approach that was used to root the behold 2 where the "try3" file was renamed to play_logo . play_logo then was used to root and after root was opened it would make play_logo_real play which was the boot animation. I may be wrong but couldnt this be a possibility. Thanks, any help is appreciated. Im wondering if Zinx could chime in...
How are you going to write to the bootanimation.zip without root? Further, do you intend to replace the recovery or update custom roms? I am just trying to figure out the purpose of root and flashing other customized images.

You can always write if I am not mistaken using the low-level write dd if/of command. We would use the bootanimation.zip to run the root command. An example is in the Samsung Behold 2 it was done as follows:
Example
echo "#!/system/bin/sh
/data/local/try3 /system/bin/sh
mount -o rw,remount /dev/st9 /system
cat /system/bin/sh > /system/bin/su
chmod 04755 /system/bin/su
/system/bin/playlogo_real" > /system/bin/playlogo
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
This is how it was done. I am wondering if the same can be done on the nexus using bootanimation.zip as it executed at startup. We would basically modify the bootanimation.zip to the above and add a line for it to execute the boot image. By gaining root this way we would still be able to put on a custom recovery and roms without unlocking the bootloader in theroy. The try3 file was created by Zinx and used by Maxisma to bring root to the behold 2. I am pretty sure this may work on the Nexus 1. I hope this helps.
Ok. I don't have a locked phone that I can play with at the moment. I'll make up a package for you tomorrow. Can you test it for me?

Hey Seraph1024 take a look at this. Its too big for XDA so I put it up on pastebin. http://pastebin.com/f62780d32 Its what is contained in the try3 file. Zinx used it in flashrec
No joy.
Code:
$ getprop | grep product.model
[ro.product.model]: [Nexus One]
$ pwd
/data/local
$ ls -al try3
-rwxrwxrwx 1 0 0 74512 Jan 25 13:26 try3

$ ./try3 /system/bin/sh
[1] Killed ./try3 /system/bin/sh
$ id
uid=2000(shell) gid=2000(shell)
Exploit does not work.
I was that close to rooting today until i saw this now its made me double think again lol I've been waitin for a custom rom by cyanogen until i rooted, and since its pretty much almost here i was going to root. bah guess i'll wait until CM gets released!

You can't on this phone. There are two ARM cores - one running the low-level stuff (bootloader, radio) and the other running Linux.
Without the engineering bootloader (or some exploit) we don't have access to the baseband ARM core, and therefore don't have access to its MMU, which is programmed to deny read/write access to protected areas of the flash - such as the bootloader and splash screens. Even with root, Linux can't access that stuff.
It's going to be really hard to find a kernel exploit for the N1 to get root. Most exploits involve mapping memory to the zero page and then triggering a null pointer de-reference bug in the kernel. But the N1's kernel won't allow such mappings.... I believe the minimum address for mmap on the N1 is around 64k. (It's in the kernel config.)
This is a tough nut to crack.
The behold root was done that way because there's no way to flash the partitons on it.
You still need root in the first place to write to that file. The droid guys have been looking a while for a new root exploit but didnt find one. The problem is that all known exploits have been closed in 2.1.
We need to wait for someone to find a new one that works. Then this would be a real posibility, and there' no need to hijack playlogo.
for what its worth, if you need a lab rat i do not have my phone rooted yet and i am willing to test some things if anyone needs...
i dont plan on rooting it until the ball really gets rolling with everything and until I am 100% satisified with the phones performance

That's what I though. And like it was posted earlier, I don't think there is a exploit since this phone is done differently. I am busy for the next couple of days but if anyone want to "try", I'll make up something but I really doubt any of the old stuff will work on this phone.
If someone would create a one click, or at least more simple root I would gladly donate, I had a bad experience with a previous phone using commands and even tho I flash many roms on many phones very frequently I would still love this. And be thankful, and would also buy someones beer/liquor/dinner/wtf ever for the night. Thanks

I would be down for a donation for one click root as well...my WinPC is all messed up and I don't know terminal on mac well enough to run sdk.
yes my wife let her parent use our win7 laptop and we have our macbook and i dont know much about it bc we have only had it for a week or two. will my pc back in about 2 weeks but obviously want root much sooner lol. i would donate 25 if someone will do this
Bringing this back up again. I still don't have my PC so I'm a little scared to try with Mac. Somebody does this ill give them $25 the second I'm rooted.

id like to see this as well
so would it be safe to say that you would donate for this as well? i got root earlier finally on my man but would still donate as i really want our community to grow. this has a chance to be one of the most well developed phones on verizon bc it doesnt have a locked BL and the ease of rooting as well as the potential to bc overclocked to 1.6 and with the chipset in thes beast we have endless possibilties. even if someone does get a leg up on this processor it will be a while before they get a leg up on the GPU. the iphone is legendary for its gaming capabilty and this phone is equal to in the six-axis sensor and greater than in the powerVSR540 so lets get some real development going, this one click root will make it easy for noobs and get that many more people in here.
I was scared to do it with commands.. And I've rommed abunch of winmo phones... Just follow the commands and ask questions..the community here is great people WILL help you

HERE ARE THE STEPS AGAIN FOR REFERENCE...STEP BY STEP!!!!
JUST FOLLOW THESE AND YOU WILL BE ROOTED....IF FOR ANY REASON IT LAGS OR FREEZES JUST UNPLUG YOUR PHONE....AND CLOSE WINDOWS COMMAND PROMPT AND REDO THE STEPS SOMETIMES IT TAKES 2-3 TRIES TO FINALLY WORK

lol thanks guys i got it last night one of the guys from the IRC channel made a video on a mac. i've done it plenty of times on my pc. thanks guys. this is why i always come here.
I myself do not need a one click root app, BUT I do believe that it would advance the community, so I would donate $25.
1 CLICK ROOT
http://forum.androidcentral.com/fascinate-roms-hacks/33899-how-root.html
And your welcome
That isnt one click root at all. 1 click root used to be in the market and you dont need a computer for 1 click root
acually dirk the link in android forums is bad. it just says invalid and i even registered to see if i can get the download for future use.
Guys, you're probably not going to see a 1-click root for a while. Dirrk's instructions are extremely simple, and there have been a number of videos made walking through the steps.
Once we've gotten where we want to be ROM wise, someone might circle back and put a easy-button app for you out there. For now, if you want to root the device, roll your sleeves up and follow Dirrk's guide. If you already have the software installed, it takes all of 5 minutes.
Again it really is simple and we will all help you..just ask questions if your scared..our don't understand something..a week ago I was clueless.. And everyone on these forums helped me so much..and ill happily walk anyone through it

well this may not be a one click root app but it is idiot proof root. Just install the driver then run the zip. Requires no typing in of commands and takes 2 minutes. i think you might have to push two buttons total.
First of all, all credits for this tutorial go to wolfilein and batemann
wolfilein's original app2sd thread - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=804574
Since the other "how to" thread is a bit cluttered, I decided to tell the community how I got app2sd running on my phone flawlessly, in details.
I'm assuming that you have already rooted your x10 mini/pro and you are familiar with partitioning your SDcard, running ADB tool and root explorer.
If not, then please refer to these threads
For rooting your phone -
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=739874
How to use ADB -
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=502010
So lets get going -
Step 1) Create 2 partitions on your SDcard, a) Fat32 b) ext2. I used Mini Tool Partition Wizard to create partitions. Remember if you are a windows user, you need to create first partition as Fat32 and second as ext2 other wise windows will not recognize your SD card when you will connect your phone/card reader.
A detailed tutorial on how to partition your card can be found here-
http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/index.php?title=SD_card_partitioning
Step 2) Download attached rar file and extract them on your SDcard root (not inside any folder)
Step 3) Open ADB Shell and type - busybox. If you see the list of busybox commands you can move to Step 5. Otherwise refer to Step 4
Step 4) If you do not have busybox installed or recognized on your system, you need to install it. I found that best way to install busybox is the manual one, so even if you mess up with busybox installation, your phone is not bricked, yet.
So to install Busybox please enter the adb shell and type su, prompt should change to # sign, confirming that you have entered rootshell successfully.
Now type :
Code:
mount -o rw,remount -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock0 /system
Code:
cat /sdcard/busybox > /system/xbin/busybox
Code:
chmod 755 /system/xbin/busybox
Code:
/system/xbin/busybox --install -s /system/xbin/
Once you finished the installation, typing busybox from rootshell should list busybox commands. If you can not get the list of busybox commands, or get message like permission denied, or busybox not found, please confirm that you can see busybox in /system/xbin/ and the permission is set to 755. you can use root explorer for this.
Step 5) Now its time to run App2sd.sh
So from rootshell, type:
Code:
sh /sdcard/app2sd.sh
and PRAY.. Its very important to pray, because anything goes wrong here, you will end up with a PROPER bricked phone. Nah, just kidding.
Your phone should reboot itself upon finishing. and when it comes back online, app2sd should be running on your phone..
good luck.
Disclaimer: I'm not responsible for anything that happens to your phone. You take the sole responsibility of your phone, if it gets bricked, vanished or turned into cheese in the proccess.
great .. and PRAY.. LOL
I tried this procedure last week. And it went wrong cause my transcend sdhc (class 2) was faulty OMG!!!
So I bricked my phone, repaired it, and now I'm waiting another 16Gb (class10) card ... so I can brick again my phone.. ROTFL.. no no.. I'm sure this procedure is going to be ok
Thanks to titanium backup I have not lost one bit
Mate seems like a great tut, I'm just flashing my phone to follow this properly =]
P.S. what is rootshell?

You enter into rootshell When you type su on adb shell. the prompt in rootshell is #.
Thanks, I thought so just making sure so anyways I'm about to try this way now will report back soon
PS. lil mistake, should be 'sh /sdcard/app2sd.sh'
PS.2 check your inbox please
IF rooted using universal androot app
1. Does this work if phone is rooted with universal and root??
2. I don't have a card reader to format the sdcard.
I formatted using the Phone itself (through usb cable), but the card didn't mount, and prompting to format it

1. Yes it will work regardless of the rooting method.
2 .Make sure that first partition of your SD card is fat32.
Thanks for a great guide!
Finally got it working on my mini pro.
Don´t know if it´s your script or my phone but it didn´t want to run for me.
When I hit "sh /sdcard/app2sd.sh" the command-window just turns to # again without doing anything.
So I ended up running all commands manually instead and that worked nicely.
Same happened with me... how did you run the commands manually?

Opened the app2sd.sh-file in an text-editor, then I can see all commands listed.
Then I just Copy-And-Paste the commands line by line (Not all at once) in the command-window.

Mate, I only made this thread to help the community. Since this is the method I used to get a2sd running on my phone. And I did not edit/changed your script, I wrote it down, which involved my own corrections and researchs (which I contributed to your thread as well). True that ln.sh was provided by batemann, that's why I gave you two full credit.
I can not delete the thread as there are posts there, however if you claim all the rights on the method, I'll pm the moderators and ask them to merge this thread with yours.
As for helping with picture how to, I would be more than happy to help the community.

so I've made a picture howto so now it's verry easy even with my howto
With app2sd, can i pick where i want to install an app?
on Main memory or SD?
and what would happen if i removed my SD card when its on?
or when i plug it in to the PC to add files?
thanks!
if you use this your phone won't not boot after reoving the sdcard
but if you use the orginal howto (my) my script makes a failsafe by installing app2sd and use that,
I did this exact procedure and everything is working fine with my phone. No issues at all. I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANYTHING YOU CHOOSE TO DO WITH YOUR PHONE.
**Make sure adb and java are both installed on your system
1. Download and install xUltimate
2. Run Main.exe
3. Choose option 1 and wait
4. Choose option 2 and wait
5. Choose option 6 and wait
6. Choose option 3 and wait
7. Choose option 4 and wait
8. Once everything has been deodexed and the script did not come up all red with a major error then you are good. You will know the error if you see it. If you get that major error then DO NOT PROCEED.
9. Copy done_app and done_frame to your internal sdcard.
10.
Code:
adb shell
su
stop
mount -o rw,remount -t ext3 /dev/block/mmcblk1p21 /system
cp /sdcard/done_app/* /system/app/
cp /sdcard/done_frame/* /system/framework/
rm /system/app/*.odex
rm /system/framework/*.odex
mount -o ro,remount -t ext3 /dev/block/mmcblk1p21 /system
reboot
You might get an error with the 2nd mount, and if you do just ignore and type reboot. You're device will take longer to boot the first time but after that it will be quicker. And all around will be quicker.
There is no point in doing this to your phone right now. There is no recovery or sbf for this phone at the moment.
I would advise people NOT to do this to your phone. There is no real benefit to this on a stock rom while on the phone. Your phone might actually be slower and use more memory.
You should probably post a link back to the original thread instructions as well.
Had no errors except when trying to cp so I rebooted and now stuck @ motorola logo
Rebooted into recovery and tried resetting phone with no luck. Since there is no SBF file available yet I'm assuming the phones toast until it's available? I've had the phone for past 14 days so I doubt exchanging it is going to be easy

Ahh but you had not posted yet when I had the page loaded reading the instructions
This phone just isn't for me, it's too locked down and slow to develop so I'm moving to a Droid Charge. Will send this back for reflash and put on ebay when it returns.
Maybe OP should also put in that there is no SBF available just to add the extra layer then the "Im not responsible bla, bla, bla,....." I love seeing any bit of development for this phone =) but we should make it bold that there is no way to fix any mistakes that occur right now. =)

There is no point in doing this to your phone right now. There is no recovery or sbf for this phone at the moment.
I would advise people NOT to do this to your phone. There is no real benefit to this on a stock rom while on the phone. Your phone might actually be slower and use more memory.
You should probably post a link back to the original thread instructions as well.

Yaaa I agree with this statement... until the sbf is leaked and bootloader is cracked.. I wouldn't recommend this, there's really no need unless you don't care if you don't have a phone.
Me? I need the darned thing.
Thanks for the info though.

I'm guessing thats an improvement for you but mine has hit 2700+ almost everytime since I got it. I've gotten a peak of either 3050 or 3150 after killing all tasks and running quadrant back to back a few times. Would be nice to have a vanilla android 2.3 running on it to really see what the hardware is worth but it seems to be a long way off for the x2.
If this backup works I'm getting a Xoom to play with instead of my phone. Never had any trouble with my HD2 like this even before nandroid was available but there was plenty of development for that phone.
Stock rooted: 2666
I just don't think the benefits outweigh the possible issues that can arise from deodexing at this time.
Taylor: I'm glad you posted this though... how did you find this out? This is awesome for the community once we (as a community) are able to develop on this phone.
Thank you.

Yeah before this I ran it and got 2100. That was running my phone normal with adw, widgets galore, and everything else. Just opened ATK and killed all then ran again. That was one test before and then just now. Not over and over again.

I did exactly like you said and only had trouble with the cp command so I rebooted from there rather then doing the remove (rm). I'll try pushing the files back. Can you explain further the command to push them back?

are you able to do adb devices while it is in bootloop?

He probably took the instructions from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=765270&highlight=manually+deodex
I found this in the TF300 thread and thought it might be useful.

PLEASE NOTE: THIS IS NOT MY WORK AND ALL CREDITS TO THE DEVELOPER.
I am just bringing this to the attention of users of the prime like myself.
Also i have NOT used this method, i used the downgrade method, so i cant comment if it works but comments in the thread seem to show it works.
yeah, there are a few 201 owners that tried and said it works. we may have a more simpler automated tool coming shortly. keep an eye out for it. this is great news for prime owners. i personally don't like all that hassel of downgrading and upgrading and blah blah..lol
Damn and I just unlocked mine to have root. Oh well wooky made a great stock replacement
When i read about the downgrade-methode i thought "wouldnt it be nice to just copy su binary into the writable filesystem" but i didnt know about debugfs...
i just tried it on my t201 - now i am a happy owner of a rooted transformer *woohu!*

I didn't know about debugfs either, that's why it took me 24h to get the root.
I started to develop my own tool to mess up with partition contents, but didn't find any good reference for ext4.
Then I thought, let's try to just patch an existing tool like fsck.ext4, and I found debugfs in the source tree of e2fsprogs

Rooting went like a breeze Thank you very much for this method. I've got one question about your code though. I'm by no means a linux cmd guru but when I look at these lines of code:
Code:
$ cd /data/local
$ rm /data/local/tmp
$ mv /data/local/tmp.back /data/local/tmp
$ chmod 755 /data/local/debugfs
$ /data/local/debugfs -w /dev/block/mmcblk0p1
It seems to me that the first line is not necessary, as you specify full paths in your code. Wouldn't it be easier to remove that line, or even better: just shorten the paths like this:
Code:
$ cd /data/local
$ rm tmp
$ mv tmp.back tmp
$ chmod 755 debugfs
$ ./debugfs -w /dev/block/mmcblk0p1
Would mean a lower risk of typo's Or is there some issue with adb and or debugfs why you choose to put the commands like this?
Again, just curious
I have created an automated tool using this root method and am looking for confirmation that it works on a Transformer Prime.

Frankly I don't know... I finished to write the "script" after being up for more than 36 hours, that could explain the inconsistencies ^^

I just sucessfully rooted .28 with no previous rooting done. Used the v1.5 posted on the first page of the thread above. I did have to install superuser.apk from the market and busybox. But it is now fully rooted.
I actually tried supersu.apk first, but it failed. But after playing a few minutes, its all working.
I installed the update before I seen this thread on rooting .21 without a downgrade.
automated tool works fine on my .21
installed OTA keeper now and updating to .28 just in case

"This tool will root your device based on the debugfs root method developed by miloj.
Just download and unzip everything into a directory; then run RootDebugfs.bat from that directory (if you do not currently have the device drivers for your transformer, they are attached to this post, please install them, please use them to install your device before attempting the process).
Neither ADB nor the SDK need to be installed as all needed files are included in the attachments below (though it won't hurt anything if they are)."
okay I'm thinking of rooting - but need some advice - I have the latest updates from ASUS (4.0.3) and have never rooted. What are the main benefits of rooting - I'm thinking I'll probably be using Sixaxis (for joystick access in games), the touchscreen fixer app so I can use a stylus better, and titanium backup - any other good apps/tools that need root that I should be looking at?
I was thinking of waiting till ASUS release the ota 4.1 upgrade before rooting - what do you think - better to root now while I know I still can? Still no definite date from ASUS for Jellybean
Finally, I was going to use sparkym3's automated method (http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1706588) - is this the best/easiest way to go?
