I posted a pretty comprehensive walkthrough in the development section.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1011623
I recommend you look through there first. now, what you've done wrong: The files don't go in your sd card, they need to be put in the platform tools folder.
Post in my thread if you have anymore trouble, or if it helps you.
I would post there but I dont have 10 posts yet.
I don't have all of the files on my memory card only the one where you change it to p5000 or whatever it's called the problem I'm having is when inam doing this
Now, navigate to your home folder and there is a text file there for you. Pretty neat, eh?
Now, we need to navigate to adb. Go to your android-sdk-mac_x86 folder, open it. Now, go back to terminal, type cd and drag the folder Platform-tools to the terminal window. You should see a green dot with a plus sign in it, that means you can add the folder to the terminal window. It should read something like this:
Code:
cd /Users/Your Computer's Name/Downloads/android-sdk-mac_x86/platform-tools
If you moved the android-sdk-mac_x86 folder (Like I did) after downloading it, it will only be slightly different. (My folder was in my home folder, so it just says /users/my computer/android-sdk-mac_x86/platform-tools)
Once you do this, you are ready to begin
Once I Follow these directions above I am getting thus error
Jays-Mac-Proplatform-tools experience$ ./adb push psneuter /data/local/
cannot stat 'psneuter': No such file or directory
I am at a loss. Please help!
bump. Need some help figuring this out. Been reading the the guide here http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1011623 and I still can't figure this out. Any help would be appreciative

Just to confirm, psneuter, busybox and misc.img go into your platform tools folder, not your sd card. You aren't actually pushing anything, and you're receiving that error because there is nothing to push. Now, if you put the files from the exploit folder into your platform tools folder, it will work.
Good luck man I hope you get it to work...It was my first time with rooting a phone and I didnt think it was too hard except for the time it took to get it all done
the error msg you are getting is because the files you are trying to push are not in the directory you think they are.

That did it! I am officially rooted and i am making my first back up with clockwork. Thanks so much!
I love the forums on xda! I finally have a rooted thunderbolt. Now to decide what rom to load! Hopefully cm7 comes out for the Thunderbolt soon. Loved that on my incredible.
I find myself in the same boat, terminal replies "no such directory"
q: I know that the OP's directions explicitly say to download Android SCK...revision 3 <-- has this changed to just the platform tools?
the reason I ask, I have all the files dl and in the folders that sidek1ck says to, but CANT complete Step 5. Setup terminal for ADB. I open up terminal, type the letters "cd", drag and drop the "platform tools" folder to no avail..."no such directory exists"
I simply CANNOT find where I am going wrong here
Please guide me, as this guide seems to work seemingly flawless for everyone else

Any one out there that can help me understand the last part of Adb.
lol.
I learned how to use Odin and superoneclick.
Now I am on Adb.
I read all I can on Team Whiskeys and XDA website and other googled websites. I installed everything and did the My computer/system properties/advance/Enviroment Variables/Path entries.
I start ADB and then I do in command prompt "adb devices" and whoopie I see my phone.
NOW WHAT?
No body on the instructions or website that I have read goes past that.
How do I push down a Rom to overwrite the system with the new Rom I want to try?
Hope someone out in the Forum has really done this before and will post how they do it.
Need to find someone smart enough to finish the instructions.
Thanks,
CatfishKnight
with adb you can copy files to your sd card or system without ever having to mount your sd card to your phone. that's the main thing I use it for
for instance, I have a rom named Trigger_281.zip on my desktop, to push it I would do
Code:
adb push Trigger_281.zip /sdcard/Trigger_281.zip
you can also pull files by using "adb pull <location of file on phone>"
and so on.
Furthermore if you ever need shell access you can do "adb shell" and run unix commands from console instead of on the phone

It just moves the file to the phone. You have to flash the file yourself if it is a flashable.
You can push a .jpg file if you want, it doesn't matter, it only moves it.
And I think you're getting confused with the 'adb install' command. You can install NON-system APKs by doing that.
Code:
adb install someprogram.apk

I guess I was confused on what ADB could do.
I thought it could push down a Rom and install it onto the phone.
Then I would disconnect it and reboot the phone and I would have the newer rom installed.
I didn't know that it only pushed the ROM onto the sdcard and then I would install the zip from the phone itself.
Finally I got an answer to my question.
LOL.
I have tried on the team whiskey site to and no one answered it. Also all the stuff I read on it really didn't tell me that either.
I really appreciate your answer in helping me understand it.
I am also using Trigger 2.8 like you. But you said you had Trigger2.8.1 saved??
I have only seen Trigger 2.8 today.

Sorry, but my advice is if you are stuck with this, you don't need to try and screw with your phone. You are obviously not technically capable, as the rest of us who are can follow these instructions fine.
Why do you want to unlock your phone at this time? Is it because it seems cool to do so? Why?
I got it working successfully. Thanks guys. And I'm wanting 2.3.4 early.

Greetings everyone!
New *registered* user here! I've been frantically sifting through post after post on the forums all night hoping to get some help with an issue I am having on my Vibrant.
Goal:
Remove some bloatware ONLY, not looking to install any ROMs or modify the phone too much...just clean some annoying apps and icons off.
Phone Information:
Model SGH-T959
Firmware 2.2
Baseband T959UVKB5
Kernel 2.6.32.9
Build FROYO.UVKB5
I currently have the latest version of Java, Android SDK, and SuperOneClick installed.
Install directory of AndroidSDK:
C:\AndroidSDK
My method of failure:
Open SuperOneClick, Click "Root"
Start, Run, "CMD"
cd c:\AndroidSDK\tools
adb shell
mount -o rw,remount /dev/block/st19/system
This is where it fails and I run into an endless loop of it telling me the proper usage of the "mount" command. I thought I had it at one point but when I typed: rm /system/AmazonMp3.apk all it did was tell me that it was a read-only file and that it couldn't be deleted.
Can someone help lead me in the right direction of what I am doing wrong? I rooted and removed all bloatware about a year ago but I just did an upgrade through MiniKies to the latest version of firmware and I can't seem to remember the process I went through that long ago to get it done right.
I apologize for possibly asking a question that has been asked numerous times but I just couldn't seem to get the wording right to get any helpful results in the search of the forums. Thank you so much for the time in reading this and the future help if any can be provided. Have a great night!!!
It looks like you are in the wrong directory. Open a command prompt in
C:\AndroidSDK\platform-tools
Open the platform tools folder. Click on a blank space > hold down the shift key > hit right click > select open command window here. Then enter the commands:
adb devices "to check if your device is connected. also make sure usb debugging is enabled on your phone.
adb remount
adb shell
su
mount -o remount,rw -t rfs /dev/stl5 /system
rm -r /system/app/[AppName].apk
If you want a list of all your /system/apps enter this command
cd /system/app
ls *.apk
This is much easier if you download rom toolbox from the market. All you do is go to /system/app and delete whatever bloatware you dont want.
BUT BE EXTREMELY CAREFUL WHEN DELETING SYSTEM APPS. ONLY DELETE WHAT YOU KNOW IS BLOATWARE OTHERWISE YOU WILL GET FC'S
good luck
Would I still need to follow the steps prior to that and use SuperOneClick to root the device or do I just skip that process and go straight to the cmd prompt?
Also, I followed a tutorial I found for installing the Android SDK that informed me to copy all the files from android-tools to the tools directory and use that instead but I don't know what the use in that is except for maybe a smaller directory name?
EDIT: I tried what you said with and with using SuperOneClick prior to the procedure and the cmd prompt displayed the following text:
*opened cmd promt in C:\AndroidSDK\tools (no files in platform-tools anymore)*
adb devices (it found my device connected)
adb remount (adb remount: no such file or directory exists)
The adb shell and su commands works fine BUT I still hit the endless loop of it trying to explain to me the "usage" of the mount command.
I will look into Rom toolbox as I'm trying to figure this out as well. Thank you.
I strongly recommend you download root explorer or some similar root browser app. Of course though your phone must be rooted. Just try rom toolbox. It has its own root browser within the app along with other useful features. This is probably the easiest way to uninstall the bloatware in your case since you are having issues with adb.

Okay, I have the suggested "rom toolbox" downloaded from the market and I will try to use that but SuperOneClick does not root the phone deep enough for rom toolbox to see the phone as rooted so...will the "updated.zip" method work for this instead?
I haven't tried it before but I am willing to give it a go if you think it's the best method. If this is the method you recommend, would you happen to have a link to the most recent or atleast most trusted updated.zip rooting method?

So I downloaded the one click program you suggested and the program itself seems to bee pretty straight forward.
I connected phone to computer with debugging on. Opened program and hit one click root. It started doing it's thing...phone rebooted and went into recovery. I started to follow instructions up until I got to where it said install packages. When I clicked it, the phone said installation failed no such file our directory exists.
The phone is looking for the updated.zip file but none exists in the one click folder. There is a root.zip and an unroot.zip...do I need to rename one of them to proceed???
Thank you so much for all the help so far, I feel like I'm so close but just not there yet. You have been an incredible help!

The way (Stock) Recovery works is if you are not "Install from SD" then it will look for the file labeled Update.zip. So you can rename only the Root.zip to Update.zip and make sure that is the only thing on your internal SD labeled that or with .zip Put the unroot.zip in a folder for now. Then try again.
Alright, will give that a try when I get home. I thought I read that the program copied the update.zip file to the phone during it's process so I didn't want to do anything to work against that. I will rename one of the files, copy it to the phone and give the one click root another shot. Thank you!

There is no need to rename anything. The program does it all for you. Play close attention to the first screen (green one) if it says update.zip copied successfully it will then reboot your phone to stock recovery. Once you are in stock recovery all you do is click reinstall packages. Keep clicking reinstall packages even if it reboots the first time. To prove my point mount your phone to your pc and check to see if the update.zip is copied onto the root of your into storage. If not well copy the update.zip from the last guide i suggested from above.
Also check to see if the superuser app is installed on your phone. The program also installs that along with the update.zip. If you have superuser then go to the market download rom manager so you could download CWM.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using XDA
Alright, so I tried it again once I got home. Didn't work BUT I did see that update.zip was installed into my phone. The sig verification failed, which means I need to change recovery versions to the one that skips sig verification correct?
I'll go search the forums for that since I remember seeing that a little while ago but that is the correct path I need to take at this point in time am I right?
Thank you so much! Big big help!
You can pull the CWR from my signature. Same as before. Put it on your internal labeled update.zip, boot into recovery and and scroll down to Reinstall Packages. Hit it. It will cycle and probably come back to stock recovery. Hit Reinstall Packages again and the stock recovery will go from blue to green (CWR).
Side note, probably from there you will be able to install the Superuser update.zip. Just go to Install from SD card and find it and hit it. The reboot. Might not but the CWR instructions above shoudl work for you.
Well I changed the recovery version using the file from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=833423 and then used the OneClickRoot and was able to get the update installed (I think). The phone booted up normally, I noticed that SU Permissions was installed so I figure I am rooted correct? WRONG. Rom toolbox says I am not. Is there another way to verify? Should I reinstall Rom toolbox incase it's just bugging out on me?
So I tried using Rom Manager too. Looks as tho SU is not installed correctly, will have to try again I guess.
Cannot install CWR, tried and the recovery text stays blue even after 14 times of reinstalling packages...
This phone will be sent flying across the room sometime tonight I'm guessing. About to erase the entire thing and try starting from scratch again. (Start from Eclair and work my way up maybe)
If you are willing to start from Eclair it would be soooo much easier that all this stuff.
Odin to stock, flash CWR from my signature, go from blue to green and then flash Fishman's Bionix and you are good to go. Simple and way easier than all this mess. Just download Fish's and put it on you SD card somewhere you'll remember. Once in green recovery just scroll to that ROM and flash it per OP.
We've just been trying to Root you since on your OP you said you didn't want to flash a custom ROM.
Well...I'm still trying to avoid flashing Roms (I've upgraded through MiniKies and that's it).
I've only been trying to root just to clean bloatware off but it seems that I must be lacking the technical skills to follow instrcutions properly....nothing is cooperating and even after following all steps nothing wants to work like it should.
Grrrr! One last try to get CWR working before I lose my mind and need to take a break/walk away for a bit.
Ok, so I'm currently back to stock Eclair (ew!!) and about to boot to recovery to install CWR. Wish me luck on that one....
Wooo, CWR up and running! Now I just have to work on a flash maybe or whatever steps were suggested next...I might try the ROM you suggested.
The ROM gets placed on external sdcard and installed from within CWR correct?
Do most ROMs remove bloatware and useless apps?
Yes and are pre-Rooted. Put the ROM.zip on either card. I have a folder that I use. Boot into recovery and get green recovery back. Go to install from SD, find the ROM and flash it per the OP instructions.
Bloat free, pre-Rooted and usually has Voodoo so you can get Voodoo Sound from the market and have a sonic ear-gasm.
Just wanted to say thanks for all the help! I installed the suggested ROM last night and I am very happy with the results thus far. It was alot easier than I thought it would be. Flashing a ROM was MUCH more simpler than the root only decision. Thank you again!

It is so simple to root the Rezound, there is no real need for an all in one tool just remember that it will wipe the phone...
1) Download the latest SuperSU.zip from here: http://download.chainfire.eu/supersu and place it in the root of the SD Card
2) Unlock via HTCdev (instructions are all over the place, including at HTCdev.com) and verify booting and operation
3) Extract recovery.img from the latest TWRP package and place in adb directory
4) Boot into Hboot and then start Fastboot
5) Execute "fastboot boot recovery.img"
6) Install/Flash SuperSU.zip from Step #1
7) Reboot
Done... That's it, your rooted and no MainVer issues!
Although, I would keep it stock until it OTA's to the latest version... unless it is already 4.5.605.14, then you have to do it the way I mentioned, the all in one tool won't work due to Hboot being to new.
To add; you may want to install busybox as some root apps need it. Its simple as getting Stericson's BusyBox app and pressing install then rebooting.

Does this mean create an adb folder on root of SD? What else should be in it? Sorry, not a noob just been a while since I rooted and I have to root\s-off a replacement. Thanks!

No... On your computer you should have installed ADB (Android Debug Bridge), this is what gives you the adb.exe and fastboot.exe files to talk to the phone and perform operations from your PC... The directory that contains these files (usually .\adb\platform-tools\) is where you copy this file... These commands are done on your PC and the recovery.img is pushed to the phone.
There are tons of guides on this that are literally step by step, even Youtube videos, no offense, bur if you don't comprehend some of these steps you might want to do some more research before continuing.

No offense taken. Been brushing up and weeding out stuff that is out of date. I did install updated ADB/SDK and go over the guides. All coming back to me now. Think I've got all I need now. Thanks for the reply.

OK, cool. If you need more assistance, fell free to ask.
Just for future reference... avoid the "one click" tools, especially on the Rez, they are mostly out of date. Plus knowing how to do it manually is usually quite useful.
