How i got perm root on my Flyer (does not give S-off just permroot of an S-off device)
YOU NEED TO HAVE A S-OFF device!
1)Start off with a fresh install of ROM check RUU thread
2)Used temp root from FlyerROOT.zip Thanks TeamWin for the temproot method Here is thread for orgnial files)
open FlyerROOT\ADB (on pc)
Make sure that you have USB debugging turned on (on phone) and drivers installed to PC
Run Fre3voFlyer.bat (from FlyerROOT\ADB)
3)check in ternimal ((on phone) need to install from market)) and see if you have root (I got permission denied)
4)ran superonclick with Gingerbreak exploit (thanks CLShortFuse for making this tool) (on pc) - S1C thread
open FlyerROOT and click on Superoneclick.exe
change exploit to Gingerbreak
hit root
Installed busybox when asked by S1C
Run Su test and looked on phone and Superuser asked for permission
5)Tried opening a app that uses root (root explorer) and SU FC on me
6)go to market and make sure you had latest version Installed (i had an update I needed)
7)Update binary when opening SU for the first time
Allow the SU app SU priviliages (funny I know)
8)Open a root app (root explorer again) and SU asked for permission
Test for permroot
turned off fastboot
deleted a system/app file (in this case htcfmwidget and htcfmwidge.obex) -using the r/w option in root explorer
Rebooted phone and reopened root explorer and looked for removed files and they were not there
None of the tools that I included were made by me they were made by the people I thanked. I just wrote the script for the tools to work. go to their threads and thank them.
Disclaimer I am not responsible for breaking your phone, melting it, or anything that may happen when doing this. Remember this is your choice
I have been able to use Root explorer, Titanium backup, terminal emulator and was able to remove APKs from the system folder that I do not want.
Thanks a lot! I followed your steps and got the perm-root for my Flyer. :-D

Glad I could help. Make sure you thank the people that made the tools to do it with as well
Do you know if this will work for the View as well?
this method not working for my s-off flyer. I can temp-root but cannot perm-root using this method.
When using temp-root seem that my /system folder got rw but I don't know why I cannot change the permission to ro. Anyone noticed?
When using SuperOneClick, I got this error and the script looping like no end >>
mount: mounting /dev/block/mmcblk0p25 on /system failed: Device or resource busy
OK
Great News Everyone!!! Thanks for the instruction. I just got the S-Off from Revolutionary. And now Permroot from this Thread. However I had slight issues with the direction. I still ended up having the files after reboot. I know I deleted those files. But everything else seems to be working. I have Root Explorer and Titanium Back-up working. Quite Excellent. Thanks!

Hi crackeyes,
I am not very sure what need to be done on step1. I am lost after opend the link and there are many version of ROMs. Which to use? and what I should do next? Thanks.
My device is S-OFF with Revolutionary.
When I click root on superoneclick it stopped to "waiting device"....
test adb manually, to see if it is communicating.
Maby 'couse I have'nt installed HTC sync yet!
But I was sure that worked since "revolutionary" made very well the dirty job!
Now I'm installing HTC sync and re-tryng!

yongck7, you need to grab the correct ROM for your device. You should read further and it will explain which ROM is for Which. Mine is WIFI only, which was like the 2nd or 3rd comment on that Thread. Once you are sure it is correct ROM, it's pretty simple. Download and execute the file while your flyer is connected. I'm not sure if Debugging is needed, but I had mine on. (Setting/Application/Development) But Like he said, start fresh, I tried this after I S-Off my flyer and it didn't work.
I got the 1.9.0004 Hboot on the Amaze to the guys with Revolutionary and hopefully they can find some exploit wizardry to save us all from the dreaded HTC unlock.
In the meantime, I can confirm that their ZergRush exploit works on the Amaze 4G with software version 1.36.531.5 (untested on any others, but probably still fine). Link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1296916
The exploit provides temporary root only and any root-level changes will not survive a reboot. This means you can use ZergRush, then push the su app and binary via adb and then use root apps and delete bloat, etc but on reboot it will all go back to the way it was before (the nand partition is not unlocked with this).

It's all there, trust me. follow the instructions with adb in the first post then refer to http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=18373159 in the same thread to push su and superuser to the phone.

Credit's for my man Revolution being in IRC# asking question's about ZR haha & nice , remember this only allow's you to run root only applications .
Does this zergrush allow you to remove the bloatware and it stays gone after a reboot? Or do they come back..

It comes back on reboot.
That's so weird. If you remove the system .apks via uninstall.. how would they magically restore themselves?
There has to be a way to clear off this bloatware! =\

NAND is still locked, anything root level reverts to the way it way after a reboot and this is only a temp root.
when i try to adb shell chmod 755 /data/ local/ zergRush i get a error message "unable to chmod read-only file system"....any thoughts

Either change permissions of the file, or see if a file manager will let you change the folder to R/W. Since i do not have my Amaze yet (in the mail), I cannot go to the folder to see if you can do the latter without root.
Does not work on Wind's Amaze ROM.
I installed the leaked ICS update, but I have apparently lost root. I tried using Voodoo, but it just says that it has been denied Superuser permissions and that there is no root backup available.
So I tried just plain rooting it using the Motofail method again, to no avail. It says that it is successful in completing the exploit.
However, no matter what app that requires root that I open, it says that the app has been denied Superuser permissions without even prompting me. Root checker says I am not rooted.
I went into the Superuser app, and I went to update the SU Binary. It says that Superuser has been granted Superuser permissions. But then it fails out at the end and says "This updater cannot update the su binary on phones that have some kind of write protection like S-ON. You can continue to use Superuser with your outdated binary, or update su with ROM manager."
I shouldn't even need to update the binary though, since it says I have the latest one installed.
What can/should I do? It's getting kind of annoying not having root on my phone.
Something along the same line happened to me too bro,I also made a thread about it but to no avail:-/ if you find something out,let me know and I'll do the same.

Try this on ics terminal
Code:
./system/su-backup
mount -o remount,rw /dev/block/system /system
rm /system/bin/su
ln -s /system/su-backup /system/bin/su

This also happened to me, and ive had no luck rooting either. I used the terminal trick and it says theres nothing to recover i su.

Of course, you need a su bkp first.

So if you dont have root access, will the terminal move the unzipped su file? How can you apply this to your sysytem? Voodoo doesnt give you options to search for the file either. Of course, nothing has superuser permissions without root either. I guess Im too much of a n00b.
Same here
Na dude its not noobish,im tryna figure out everything myself,I've been flashing since the hd2,so i know a couple things but this is just mind boggeling lol
I'm at a loss. I've downloaded your su-backup file, but I don't know how to move it to the /system folder, as it is write protected, and I don't have root to bypass that. And whenever I tried typing things in using the terminal, it just denied everything.

You can't move this file to system folder because you have a non-rooted device. Be patient, we are working hard on that....
I'm new here but have been messing around with android for awhile. I spent all afternoon searching for an answer but haven't been able to find anything. I had rooted my prime but not unlocked it while it was on ics, I used ota rootkeeper to keep root when I upgraded to jb but i think when asus sent out another update i forgot to save root. I still have su in /system/bin and superuser installed but it won't prompt me to give any programs root access. I typed in su in a terminal emulator and it said permission denied. so my question is, how do I get root back without unlocking?
Does this thread help ? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1911261&highlight=partial+root
I was able to get root back back doing something similar. Somehow the permissions got messed up for su. I went into adb and got root permission through CD/ system then ./usr/we-need-root/su-backup; su. Then I pushed new su, busybox, and superuser.apk files and fixed the permissions and changed the owner of su using chown and chmod.

HOW TO HAVE ROOT AFTER JELLY BEAN OTA"Only for those who did OTARootKeeper process and still have no root."
For those who did OTARootKeeper process, and is not able to have root working properly.
I did all this after breaking my head for a few hours. Many are in this same situation that I was, hope i can help all.
Process:
. Once you have made the process of Backup and Temp-UnRoot in OTARootKeeper
. Once you have upgraded to the OTA Jelly Bean and restored root in OTARootKeeper
. And still having problems with root access.
. Open the PlayStore and search for SuperUser
. You will see that an update is available. Just update the SuperUser app and open it.
. On the main screen of SuperUser is showing the version of the binary that you have early installed via OTARootKeeper (ver. 3.0.3.2)
. Will be available an update of the binary (ver. 3.1.1). Just update the binary version.
. Once updated the root binaries, the root will work normally, giving permissions to all applications that you need.
OBS:
If you have problems with SuperUser, after do the process above, install the SuperSU app via PlayStore, and use it for root permissions.
I hope that I helped! If so, just thanks! :good:
This is not development selection..
Please move to general area..

Hit the thx button if i helped ya in anyways
That's a bit sad, but it still does not help me. I've definitely protected root with Voodoo, as it still says I have root, but when I click "temp unroot" it does nothing. Might Superuser from Koush do something wrong?
EDIT: Huh, I've found the way around. If you have backed up root with OTA Rootkeeper like me, but cannot restore it follow these steps:
1. Download Android Terminal from Play Store.
2. Open it, type in "cd /system/usr/we-want-root", confirm with Enter.
3. Type "./su-backup", confirm with Enter.
4. You should now see different prompt - ending with "#" instead of "$".
5. Type "mount -o remount,rw /system", confirm with Enter
6. Type "cp su-backup /system/xbin/su", confirm with Enter
Congratulations, you are now rooted. Beware, this method works only if you have backed up you root before OTA! If something is wrong after second step type "ls -l" and you should see "rwsr-s--- su-backup" - those "s" are is important, they mean you are able to get root access.
