I'm dev-unlocked and have TWRP installed, no root yet.
what's the consensus on the better/stable/happier su package, supersu vs superuser?
ALSO and almost more importantly, where can i find a flashable zip for either. i know everyone says just flash a rooted ROM, but that's not what i want to do. just looking for a file i can flash in recovery or push via adb. been searching and can't find any options that don't redo everything at once (ie. dev unlock and install recovery)
already been through all of that, just want to add root. thoughts? links? non-sequiturs?

yeah, that's where i'm at. the tutorial/everything page has everything you could ever want if you were starting from zilch; but no "here's just the su binaries and app" zip that i can find. there's every variety of "one click" solution but it doesn't seem like anyone publicizes the step-by-step pieces.
i did dev-unlock and then flashed twrp via fastboot because i wanted a nandroid backup of my "virgin" setup. now if i could just push su to it i would have my setup/ROM with root and not have to wipe my phone and start with somebody else's. not that i'm knocking those efforts because at some point i'm going to start flashing ROMs on this thing, but i'm not ready to blow away all my data just to get root. of course there's always the remote possibility that i could flash the stock 2.13 rooted rom and restore my own data partition and it would work without being flaky, but i never had success doing that on my transform.
i guess i could always download one of the one-clicks and tear it apart and see if i can't figure something out on my own, but i have no experience doing that whatsoever

You can't flash root to a phone with a zip. You need to look up the specific instructions for your phone, and most likely will factory reset your device.

not yet. my wife was getting made at me for not being fully engaged in her prattling so i had to shut the laptop for the night.
i was looking at the update script and it does some goofy stuff with the maps.apk and youtube.apk that seems to (at least from other comments in the thread) cause some unwanted aggravation with those apps. i asked the question what/why and the answer i got was an assumption that they were being moved temporarily to make sure there was room in /system for the su binaries and then moved back.
i don't know if that's necessary or not, but i kind of doubt it. just like to know what's happening in the background and not monkey with things that don't need monkeyin'.
i've got a working zip for SuperSU v0.96 that i've stripped the stuff out of it that moves around the maps and youtube apks, doesn't seem to be necessary on our devices. sent a pm to chainfire about posting it but haven't heard back yet. or maybe i just can't send pms

That's incredibly vague. Anyway, you're better off using Amon-RA's recovery for an Eris, ClockWork Mod is known to brick our phones... assuming that's what you're using. Seriously you've given us next to nothing to work with.
It is clockwork. Thanks I didn't know that. How do I get amon-ra. Recovery.

Easiest way is to run jcase's 1 Click Eris Root, you can find it on the Market or here
Using Amon is pretty straight forward, just boot into recovery (powering off and power on by VolumeUp+Power/EndCall) the navigation is straight forward, uses trackball. The only thing is it will not see any ROMs inside folders, just keep them at the top on your SD Card

Probably won't work if the ROM on the phone is anything but a stock ROM, as the rooting method relies on a specific "chmod" statement in the boot partition's "init.rc" - most dev ROMs don't have this in there.
I believe that ROM Manager has an option to install an "alternate recovery" (in this case Amon_RA v1.6.2) but I have never used ROM Manager, so don't quote me on that.
There's always this thread, but it may be way more than the OP bargained for. I would sooner tell a newb to just restore the phone back to stock using the "Official" 2.1 MR3 RUU (RUU_Desire_C_Verizon_WWE_2.36.605.1_release_signed_with_driver.exe), and then re-root using jcase's Universal 1 Click Eris Root App Apk thread.

There is a post over on AndroidForums.com that is sort of a mini-tutorial with pictures on using Amon_RA. (It's actually part of a longer rooting thread, but it provides lots of pictures about using Amon_RA).

joejoe,
if you are not careful you are going to eff your phone up.
There are a couple of people on this forum that use ROM Manager/Clockwork, but in the past, they have not stepped up to help to people asking about it.
Most of the reasons for that are historical - ROM Manager and ClockworkMod recovery were not available for the Eris as early as Amon_RA's recovery - and early versions of ClockworkMod bricked a number of Eris phones. It probably is a lot more reliable now (on the Eris); but because of that history, most people familiar with Eris rooting methods just continued to use Amon_RA because it worked and behaved reliably.
My recommendation is that you return your phone to stock, and then use the "One Click" app to re-root your phone. At that point you will have Amon_RA on your phone, and you will probably get more help (either here or over on androidforums.com) because there are more people that have that experience with the Eris that can help you out with it.
Either that or you simply need to do quite a bit more reading about how ROM Manager works, what a custom recovery looks like when you are interacting with it manually, etc - it is evident from the questions that you are asking that it is unfamiliar territory for you.
Good Luck

I tried flashing CWM through RomManager without first being HTCDev unlocked. Duh!
But now it seems I have no recovery at all. If I try to reboot into recovery I just end up at the bootloader with no option for recovery. If I power off and then boot up with pwr+vol dn, I get to the bootloader with the recovery option, but if I select it I go to a screen that says:

I don't plan on installing custom ROMs so I'd like to just get back to the stock recovery.
Help appreciated.
If you're not going to flash ROMs why you even messing around with rom manager and CWM? Anyways go to development section and find the CWM thread. There you'll find a link for the stock recovery that you have to flash via terminal emulator.

I used CWM and RM on my OG EVO all the time so after rooting the LTE I kind of started doing it out of habit.
I've changed my mind on the LTE and want to stay rooted but stock.
I found the stock recovery image and tried installing it with fastboot but I can't without unlocking the bootloader through HTCDev.
Is there another way to install it?
Use terminal emulator
And do what with it?
flash ruu im pretty sure that gives u a stock recovery back?? correct me if im wrong
I'd like to avoid wiping the phone unless I absolutely have to. I just _finally_ got it how I want it.
Okay, I got it.
I found instructions on flashing recovery using flash_image. Though I couldn't install flash_image as described. I used ES File Explorer to copy flash_image from my sdcard to /system/bin and then changed the permissions to rwx r-x r-x.
Next I used Terminal Emulator and ran: flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery.img
That worked.
FYI I just reinstalled the stock recovery myself but used the image and the process documented in the OP of the Clockwork Recovery thread at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1675430
Doing it that way, I didn't need to download an additional program other than Terminal Emulator which I already had, and then the stock recovery image which is linked at the bottom of the OP. Easy peasy!

Ugh, frustrating. Sorry if there is a post on this, I did search but couldn't find anything.
Ok, so was looking to flash the CM10, feeling relatively comfortable with rooting and flashing roms on my Evo 3d GSM I figured I'd do the same with my TF201. I'm running Build 9.4.2.28-20120525 so I downloaded the Asus Unlocker. Ran it. Everything appeared fine. Then went to instal ROM Manager. I got a message saying that SU Access had been denied. Ok. Looked at my SuperUser app, everything looked fine, I set permissons to automatically allow rather than ask. Attempted to flash ClockworkMod Recovery through ROM Manager and had ROM Manager freeze. Had to force close it.
So I worried that something was up with either the unlock process (It said everything unlocked properly, even restarted the system first before doing any of this stuff) or the SU. So I uninstalled the SuperUser App and installed the SuperSU app to see if that made any difference. When I start up SuperSU I get a message that says "The SU binary needs to be updated. Continue?" I said yes and all I get is "Installation Failed!"
I'm really worried I've screwed my system right over. I am not sure what to do next.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Oh I forgot to mention that attempting to boot into recovery gets me the sad little dead android with the ! coming out of his chest... Ominous!
I believe the ASUS unlocking tool only unlocks the bootloader. It doesn't install root or a custom recovery. When I unlocked my Prime, I installed a custom recovery through fastboot, then installed a custom ROM through that recovery. There are various threads that explains the procedures to install custom recoveries and ROMs, and if you need further assistance, I'm sure many here will be glad to help.
~Azrael's Kiss~
Yeah looks like we're good now. Had to reinstall SU but it worked out fine int he end. Flashing CM10 now.
Wouldn't recommend Rom Manager for the prime, people have experience problems, use TWRP (i think thats right) from GooManager instead.

Yeah, thanks for that. Seeing as the JB roms are still very much in development, it's likely best if I update the recovery manager to whatever is the most up to date so as to (hopefully) minimize any risk.

Hey guys,
Do any of you know how I can place my rom, and push it as an OTA Update like Sprint. What files do I need to accomplish this? I have already looked at OTA update center and its great, I would just like to push them without my people having to root. I have a server set up, just don't know how to have everything point to the right place. I'm familiar with the boot_delta.bin and android_delta.bin files along with others needed for an OTA Update. Also, i know you have to edit things in the build.prop as well. I hope someone can point me in the right direction. Thanks
I want it too, I think it's a great idea.

Not possible....the way sprint or other carriers are able to do it is because they pass the security/verification checks...unless you can figure out an exploit/hack its not possible
Basically you would need to figure out how to first root the phone, and then get a custom recovery...there have been some apps in the past that can achieve root...but most phones have those patched by now...so it definitely is possible, just not probable

Well, with a custom recovery it IS possible without root.
What you also could do is make an app who's exploiting a bug in the Android system to gain root. Do this with the permission of your users. If you execute the exploit, you have a root prompt, you could fetch the device name, and download a suitable recovery for it. Let the user confirm this, and download it.
I recommend to wrap it in a nice UI, like this.
- Get root
- Fetch recovery (menu to choose device)
- Flash recovery
From there, you CAN execute your OTA updater app. Note this only works on devices where all partitions are writable with root. For example my phone's (i9300) recovery partition is writable with root.
Hope this helps,

Very cool, you come up with that idea all by yourself? Reguardless, there is user intervention required. Whether it be for the custom recovery, bootloader unlock, root. Nothing, when it comes to this comes that easy. ****, even the Nexus phones you need to reboot into the bootloader, no app from the device can do it all sorry.

Ok, I think it worked. I booted into recovery, then used a .zip file that also contains SuperUser SU from a forum posting on rooting the DNA. I am almost 100% sure this was the file (I forgot to remember the link, but this was in my history):

I'm sure there are other kernels that are a lot better than stock, but I'm not super adventurous. Just rooting was a lot, but I really wanted to have more functionality in Tasker and Titanium Backup. Once I get BusyBox I think I'm done for a while.
