I apologize for thread jacking with this question, but what would you put in this file, I am asking here, rather than via PM because I think others might like to know... you could make a new thread if you prefer... thanks!
edit: ok did a little digging, would this work?
Code:
mount -o rw,remount /dev/block/mmcblk0p29 /system
chmod 777 /sys/devices/platform/leds-pm8058/leds/button-backlight/brightness
echo 0 > /sys/devices/platform/leds-pm8058/leds/button-backlight/brightness
chmod 444 /sys/devices/platform/leds-pm8058/leds/button-backlight/brightness
mount -o ro,remount /dev/block/mmcblk0p29 /system
edit2: confirmed, the above works, just edited the file (init.post_boot.sh) and adb pushed it, then rebooted... nice, no more bleed!

hm... for turn the button backlight off, i use screen filter, put it on 100% and kill the back light. voila. you don't have to do anything beside that, and the best part is, you can turn it back on.
use the init.post_boot.sh in this zip should disable all the button lights completely. given that you have perm root, this method is permanent until you restore the files or nand restore.
Dont forget to set the permissions to 644

The only disadvantage of using screen filter is that you can't install apk files when it's in use.
But yeah now I don't need screen filter anymore, thanks morrislee!!

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

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".)

I would STRONGLY recommend using the ADB Commands if you cannot buy things via the Android Market. They do the EXACT same thing. Just Root Explorer type Applications make it visible.
And it's super easy to do from the CMD terminal
1) Log in as root
Code:
adb shell
2) make the system r/w ( i know it's now the "exact" coding but it works )
Code:
mount -o remount,rw -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblk3 /system
3) delete the bootanimation.zip on the phone currently
Code:
rm /system/media/bootanimation.zip
4) log out of root
Code:
exit
5) change folders to the one where you stored the bootanimation you downloaded
Code:
cd c:\_________
6) push the bootanimation.zip to the /system/media folder
Code:
adb push bootanimation.zip /system/media
7) log back in as root and check the bootanimation
Code:
adb shell
bootanimation
If it looks like the one you want you can hold "crtl" and tap "c" to get out of it.
(if you do this in the terminal emulator, i do not know how to quit the bootanimation w/o pulling the battery)

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.

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/ *

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)

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

does anybody know if there's a way to block an app fr detecting that your phone is rooted, i was trying to redeem my code for my digital copy to download fast five on my phone using pocket BLU, once it gets ready to download it let's me knw that it detected that my phone was rooted n doesn't let me download, i also had the same problem with blockbuster before I was rooted I purchased some movies but after I was rooted tried to go back to my movies n. same thing, detected my device was rooted... I was wondering if there's a way or hack that we can do to not make it detectable as being rooted, thanx

do you have the Superuser app auto allow root requests or do you have to manually allow each time?

everytime u get an app that request root user permission I have to allow, it doesn't allow automatically but once I have aloud an app I don't have to do it again
You have to delete the root detection in some smali files to remove it.

a temporary fix:
1) rename /system/bin/su to anything else, example: /system/bin/jk. i prefer to use adb shell for the renaming.
2) run the application which looks for root
3) when done running the application which has root detection, rename /system/bin/jk back to /system/bin/su.
this should work because the root detection method most applications use is to only check if a file named /system/bin/su is present. if that file is present, they consider the phone rooted. they usually don't even attempt to open the /system/bin/su which would trigger the superuser apk, they usually only look to see if the /system/bin/su file *exists*.
hope that helps!

After you rename the file you lose root. How do you regain root privilege to rename the file? Do you chmod? How do you mount rw?

Ok tried to watch fast five from the market, got video playback not supported on rooted devices error 49. Tried to find "temp root remover" in market... No results... Tried renaming system/bin/su still wont work... Ideas?
Ok got the temp root remover but is not working... Help?

as you found out, the temporary fix won't "mess" with anything as long as you restore the su binary back to its default name.

you don't lose root by renaming the su binary. by renaming the su binary, you're ONLY changing the name of the su binary. the su binary does not require itself to be named "su" to execute properly. of course, make sure not to run chmod and remove the setuid bit on the file.
command: mv /system/bin/su /system/bin/jk
now, instead of having to type "su" for root, you'll type "jk" or whatever the new name of the su binary is.
also, you can configure adb shell to always drop to root access by toggling the ro.secure value, either 0 or 1, in the default.prop file which is stored inside the ramdisk of the boot.img kernel file. many custom kernels toggle this setting so adb shell always drops to root, even if no "su" binary exists on the system.
worse case, if for some reason you make a mistake, you can always boot into the custom recovery which provides root access via adb shell (ro.secure is toggle as such in the ramdisk of the recovery custom kernel) and setup root access again from there.
hope the additional information and technical details help!

After using this app or manually renaming in Terminal Emu. Root is still detected by Pocket Blu. Any suggestions?
