I tried to load the viperbloat mod but every time I run it, it says viperbloat doesn't exist. I tried through cmd and terminal emulator and still same answer and no work. Any suggestions?
Download my update. It 3.1.1 was pushing files to /vendor/bin which now no longer exist on perm root. I updated 3.1.2 to fix this. Enjoy
Hey thanks, but it still is failing to push the viperbloat file. it is saying
failed to copy 'viperbloat' to '/system/bin/viperbloat': Read-only file system
Unable to chmod/system/bin/viperbloat: No such file or directory
This is all that is said when I am running the .bat file. Am I doing something wrong, is my phone messed up? Please help

Oh, I forgot to update that part of the script. Damn, sorry. Just use root explorer to mount rw then run the .bat file.
little bit of a noob, how to do this? sorry

Either use adb if you have it installed and just type adb remount then run the .bat or if you have Root Explorer, open it, tap on /system and then at the top there is a little white button that will say "mount r/w", tap that and then run the .bat file.

Can't you just do "adb remount system" to mount it r/w, then push it?

keep your phone unlocked, run the command and you'll see the Superuser app pop up. Hit allow.
The end.
Eugene has a init script that will have staten as rw always.. Its an update.zip you flash from cwmod recovery.. If you don't have a lag fix it will flash fine, if you do it will over write it so you have to modify...
His newest rom supports both, maybe you could just kang it..
I currently have his mount script on my phone bc im always editing my services.jar and need that ability..

Just mod the script if your using the userinit.sh

How do I "Reboot to recovery" and I think I already run the "update.zip" when I rooted the phone. Do I have to download ClockworkMod Reovery or something? Like said I'm new to this so I'm sorry if I'm a nuisance.
Edit: Is it the same thing as this?

Now we can start. Plug your device to your computer and enable the debugging mode of your phone (Go to MENU->SETTINGS->APPLICATIONS->DEVELOPMENT->Enable the “USB debugging”).
Then you need the adb tool that is given with the SDK. (You can find it it the “Tools” directory of the SDK).
Open a command prompt, go to the directory of “adb.exe” and type:
adb.exe devices
You should see your device. If there is no device connected, maybe your phone is not in the “debugging mode” see above. If your device appears, you can now type:
adb.exe -d reboot recovery
Then your phone will reboot in recovery mode and you will see this logo:

You can go to the market and download rom manager and use it to flash a custom recovery...
Flash cwmod recovery from the app
Reboot into cwmod recovery from the app
First thing to do its go to the nandroid option and do a backup (always recommended before changing anything)
Then dl the link from above.. This is a new .zip make sure its on the internal sdcard (the 16gb one).. When you reboot into recovery (from the app like last time) go to flash any zip from sdcard.. Choose the new .zip file you just downloaded.. Your /system should now be rw upon reboot

So can I just go into userinit script and add this to the top...

set_perm 0 1000 0755 SYSTEM:bin/playlogosnow
show_progress 0.100000 10
Or was it a diff script we pull from and add to it? Also do I have to put anything after I copy this into the script before the normal script in userinit to signify a pause or finishing one task and starting another?

sorry I wasnt more help
Ok so I added that except to the userinit script, lag fix still works, adb doesnt seem to...
Just ran .zip file through clockwork to overwrite other file then just fix later after adb use was done, still no positive results...
Keeps saying
Cannot stat 'touchwizcalendar.apk' : no such file our directory
And if I open a shell and type the same command i get push: not found
Maybe I am just approaching this all wrong and not getting adb set up right first or something...
Can some one just step me through this crap, I can almost always figure this kind of thing out and this is pissing me off that I can't do a simple command to reinstall a damn calendar apk I want and that's the whole frickin point of having root...
Starting fresh again...
Running a fresh flash of vibrant6, have an up to date busy box, no lag fix activated at this time (but files are there from vibe6 and had it installed in the past before nand restoring.stock w/root and flashing fresh vibe 6), no adb push script installed yet but.zip is in root of sd if needed, running version 1.0.26 of adb on my computer and have apk files pulled from deodexed rom that are desired to be pushed sitting in root of sdcard (files named; "TouchWizCalendar.apk", "TouchWizCalendarProvider.apk", "TouchWizCalculator.apk", "ClockPackage.apk".)

did you try the bootsnd.sh ??? I don't know if this will work on the shooter, so MAKE A BACKUP. I used to do this on the hero all time. Put this .sh on your sd card no folder (remove the .txt extension), either leave or replace the .mp3 in /system/customize/resource. Also, make sure your ENTIRE filesystem is r/w, then do the same in /system (push the buttons in root exploder)...
In terminal emulator type:
su
cd /sdcard
sh bootsnd.sh (ONLY DO THIS ONE TIME, SERIOUSLY)
reboot
that *should* do it
please report back.

I also reckon that booting into recovery and simply restoring a NANDRROID backup is your best bet.
But, if this isn't possible then I think you need to be root when in ADB which is done with the su command
adb shell
su
(this should change the prompt, I think from # to $ or the otherway)
Make an update.zip of build.prop and flash
Or try qtadb

qtadb looks like a good app but when it starts;

I was thinking of a update.zip with my working build.prop but didnt really know what i was doing, If you know what your doing with update.zip's and its not to much trouble do you think you could knock it up for me if i send it to you?

Ok...first off i know this is not supposed to be in general discussion but as my new status will not let me reply to the relevant thread (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1216131). I just wanted to share how I achieved root access (without a computer) by using bits of different advise from other users. I take no credit for any of this, I don't know any commands but I obviously have an idea of what they are trying to accomplish. Here goes:
First Step:
Download Superuser from market
Download Terminal Emulator from market
Download Dolphin HD browser
Navigate to the above linked thread in the Dolphin broswer and Download photon-torpedo.tar
Once all these are installed reboot your device.
Second Step:
From the terminal emulator enter commands pressing enter after each.
cd /tmp/
cp /sdcard/download/photon-torpedo.tar . (note the "space" and "period" at the end)
chmod 777 photon-torpedo.tar
/bin/tar xf photon-torpedo.tar
./photon-torpedo.sh (you will receive errors at this point, IGNORE)
./install-su.sh
Reboot your device
Third Step:
Run terminal emulator
Enter the command su
At this point it will ask for superuser rights and you are rooted.
*The reason for this thread is that I had to take bits from different responses and piece them together to get this to work. Hope this helps someone as I wanted give back to the community. Again...all credit goes to the original contributors.*
*Fixed typo*
*Theory - If you have a SD card installed when you download the file change the second command line to " cp /sdcard-ext/download/photon-torpedo.tar ." (note the "space" and "period" at the end)*
*Another hint - Determine the location of your /tmp/ folder prior to attempting root (download a file explorer from market) and modify as needed. Some have needed to use /data/tmp/ *
Nice!!! On your second command, change cp to cd

Actually that is supposed to be cp. I believe it copies the photon-torpedo.tar to the /tmp/ folder where it needs to be located in order to run. (I could be wrong on my logic but that is what worked for me)

Thanks a lot! This worked great! I just picked up my photon last night and didn't have time to root via the computer before work today.
I did find one typo.
cp /sdcard/download/photon-topedo.tar .
should be

Thanks a lot! This worked great! I just picked up my photon last night and didn't have time to root via the computer before work today.
I did find one typo.
cp /sdcard/download/photon-topedo.tar .
should be
cp /sdcard/download/photon-torpedo.tar .

Very nice! Never thought of an interanl root option. Thank you for your hard work and creativity
You are awesome, thank you. Worked like a charm. Way easier than all the other methods out right now.

There is always a chance of something happening anytime you step outside official updates but i would venture to say that this about 99.9% safe.

To be quite honest i haven't felt the need to flash a rom on the mopho so you'll have to research that one yourself. To flash though you normally need to install a bootloader and im just not familiar with the process on this phone. I only rooted to access wifi hotspot and a few other apps.

*Another hint - Determine the location of your /tmp/folder prior to attempting root (download a file explorer from market) and modify as needed. Some have needed to use /data/tmp/ *
how i do that? in a ffew i will try to root im nervous lol

Hi,
I'm attempting to replace Email.apk on my miui rom. This is the method I am using:
Code:
adb push Email.apk /sdcard/
adb shell
su
rm /system/app/Email.apk
rm /system/app/Email.odex
mount -o rw,remount /dev/block/mmcblk0p9 /system
cp /sdcard/Email.apk /system/app
reboot
When the phone has rebooted, my changes do not take affect. To check, I pulled the /system/app/Email.apk back, and found it to be the original version.
Can anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong here?
Thanks,
Have figured this out...
adb appears to send some kind of cached version over. Renaming the file before transferring forced adb to use the correct file, and all is well.

You mean renaming the original file first to any name then copy the moded file with the original name ?

You'll get lots of FCs until you reboot the phone then it should be fine.
