Delete the file from your computer, download it again, and repeat the steps starting with the last adb push before your md5 sum.didn't match.

Has there been anything on rooting directly from the phone?
And has anyone made an update.zip with unlockd boot?

Yes, you can root directly from your phone by using terminal emulator but you have to put photon-torpedo.tar to /data/tmp first. I rooted my photon on the phone itself.

A little bit of reading goes a long, long way. This thread will tell you the current state of the art.

Ok can you please tell me how you got terminal to process your commands. I get permission denied every time I use terminal to try and do anything with /data. I obviously need root to complete the commands using terminal to write to anything besides the sd. I would appreciate any help. Thanks in advance.

Did you install superuser from market? You also need to install Superuser and push photon-torpedo.tar to /data/tmp
then type the following in terminal emulator:
cd /data/tmp
/bin/tar xf /data/tmp/photon-torpedo.tar
/data/tmp/photon-torpedo.sh
/data/tmp/install-su.sh
Just say "THANKS" to Edgan for great work and job well done.

Not sure if you were responding to me or the other guy but my MacBook and my Linux laptop both recognize my phone but they both say its offline when I try and use a adb. Some people say they have done this root without the computer and just using the terminal on the phone but I get permission denied messages since it needs root. I have super user installed but that does me no good without root. I want to know how they got past the permission denied using the terminal on the phone?

Make sure you have USB debugging checked. Menu > settings > applications > development. This was my problem when I first tried to adb the file to the /data/tmp folder on the phone.
Also, I was getting an error at "Run /data/tmp/photon-torpedo.sh," but I just ignored it and kept going. It worked. You can use root checker from the market to verify that you have root.

Thanks for the advice but the both of us are not using adb. I always have debugging enabled. We are both trying to do this from or phones with terminal. An update zip would be amazing :~)

Ok. I thought one of you was trying to use a Mac or something to push the file then use terminal. And an update.zip would be awesome!

I was trying to use adb with my Mac and my Linux laptop but both give me "device offline" when I use adb. I'm going to try a different USB cable as I have seen this happen before and a different cable works but I find it hard to believe that i'm the only one that used stock cable and does not work

Lol, I guess they all vanished! Funny thing is that I am not new to Linux and those are busybox commands which
1: busybox does not come installed on the factory ROM and
2: even if you install it from the market it still needs root access.

If you cannot help then just save your useless comment! Your bringing back bad memories from the EVO forum. That forum was full of bashers and flamers.

Is there a list of commands somewhere for the terminal emulator? Please and thanks.
Sent from my DROID RAZR using xda premium
No.
But to see some of the available:
Code:
busybox #prints available busybox commands
ls /bin #prints all files in /bin
ls /usr/bin #prints all files in /usr/bin
ls /sbin
ls /usr/sbin
OK, how would I change the su perms for an application?

sorry but I don't understand.
Is it:
You use su to become root.
You may use chmod to change permissions on a file
You use the superuser app to change witch apps that automatically approves or denies superuser access.

Hi CDA folks, I am trying to revive white Pandigital using ADB commands to push files on the system's folder of the device then flashing them.
The computer sees the device, adb has root access, yet when trying to push files is gives me an error indication that the system/data/midc is a read only.
tried adb remount over and over with no lick. Is there any other way to get to write on the system folder?
did you try
adb shell
su ?

No I did not, and what if I don't have super user or busy box? How can I can them on the device in a black screen state?
Hi im using the lgp-769 v10g T-Mobile and i was rooted on this phone but i lost root and now in system xbin i have a file named su.old, i explored this using file browser, i found that i can access this file using terminal emulator which changes the $ sign to #. I accessed it via /system/xbin/su.old... anyways I'm wondering if there is anyway i can use this and terminal emulator to regain root? I also have busybox and kbox2 working in terminal without root if that even matters... can someone kindly point me in the right direction, it would be most appreciated. Thank you all.

When your have root (#) try this
Code:
cp /system/xbin/su.old /system/bin/su
chmod 644 /system/bin/su
or try
Code:
mv su.old su
Here is screenshot of the results of your suggestions. What should i do now?
Sent from my LG-P769 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
Well it says cross device link using mv and it says can't create su and. something about can't stat system/bin/su cant chmod644
