going through the entire 1.5 to 2.1 root tutorial to a tee, but once i get to the recovery image, this happens (following is an entire copy/paste of what I went through, incase i did something wrong before i hit the point)

It looks like you forgot the step where you modify the flash_image's permissions
Code:
adb shell chmod 755 /system/bin/flash_image
I had the same thing but I just kept reentering
adb shell mount -o rw,remount /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system
adb push recovery.img /sdcard
adb push flash_image /system/bin
and after maybe 4 iterations it worked.
I have a very simular problem:
(moto droid with android 2.1)

Permission denied

I have try to use chmod the file but it said permission denied on chmod... please help T_T
note this is rooted, of course, when i'm in the phone type su, it'll pop up ask for me to allow or not, allowed, everything seems fine, but when i try to modify files in /system/etc/wifi (trying to make it work for ad hoc) it said permission denied....(even in su???) I tried in adb and it's the same, very very frustrating, any help is appreciated, Thanks.

I wouldn't try to flash anything you find here to a Moto Droid.
This is for the HTC Droid Eris.
Otherwise, and if I'm misunderstanding you, good luck with your problem.

How do you know that you have root? Or, how did you gain root?

I'm not aware of that app, and cannot find it in the market myself (do you have a link?)
However, one way to check for sure if you truly have root is run the adb command adb shell and, when you get a prompt, type the command "su". If it returns with a "#" prompt (rather than the "$" prompt that you are seeing), then you have root on the phone.
Most people these days root with either jcase's 1click root for eris: https://market.android.com/details?id=net.andirc.erisrooter or they use the procedure here: http://androidforums.com/eris-all-things-root/127861-universal-eris-root-dummies.html
You may be able to use the steps here as well, since you seem pretty comfortable with adb and have that working already: http://androidforums.com/eris-all-things-root/125436-detailed-leak-root-tutorial.html
Guys new I found another solution (tested on u8150)
First make sure that you are rooted first.
Open adb shell
Type in su.
Remount the system partition as read write.
Change the owner of system from root to system via chown root system
the exit the shell and push flash_image to system/
also push clockworkmodrecover.img into the system partion dont forget the last /.
then exit.
use a file manager, I used rootbrowser.apk without a memory card and installed recovery.
with rootbrowser copy flash_image to the bin directory.
don't forget to change the owner back to root to the system partition after you finish with rootexplorer or whatever u use even adb can work.
then the rest follows.
The above works only if your'e rooted and have adb.
Goodluck
haha am a genius Installing ROM +Recover without sdcard on u8150
all you have to do is:-
1. Make sure u have installed clockwork mode recovery on your device and have su binary.
2. Open adb with the device normally on.
3. Remount the data partition as read write using mount remount in adb .
4. use adb and push the cynogenmode.zip or any rom that fits into the data partition using
adb push romname.zip /data/
5. Reboot into clockworkmod recovery using the various options available.
6. This is what to do if you don't have a sdcard.
open adb with phone connected and run
adb shell
mount /data /sdcard
then go back to the main recovery menu and wipe dalvik cache only
then choose update from sdcard
flash your rom and tadaaa.
your'e done.
NB:CAUTION MAKE SURE TO FLASH A ROM THAT DOES NOT WRITE INTO THE DATA PARTION
THIS CAN BE DONE BY LOOKING FOR A FILE CALL UPDATE SCRIPT IN THE zip OF THE ROM U WANT TO INSTALL
Am going to make a post about this later.
Goodluck
Lol, 3 and a half year break between responses.
The problem with flash_image & dump_image is that it doesn't work on devices devices which use emmc (recent phones)and have
mmcblk0
and cat /proc/mtd won't work here either.
This means that you have to use dd to write to this devices.
I wonder how guys determine the partitions to use on such devices, and someone should hint as to what is going on since it seems manufacturers seriously don't want people to exploit their devices.

Hy i have same problem . Can you solve this problem? /clear completly chainfire3d/
Same problem, I used to be able to run The Settlers and other games, now I can't..
I uninstalled drivers, set plugin to default, then uninstalled the app, but still it doesn't work
Having root access from recovery is a must to solve problems if you run into them (run "/system/lib/cf3d_uninstall.sh" as root to remove the driver and restore the old one)
1. boot into jb recovery mode
2. run "adb devices" - to make sure the phone drivers are ok (should output a long hex string and "device")
3. run "adb shell" from command prompt
4. in shell prompt "sh system/lib"
5. still in shell "sh /cf3d_uninstall.sh"
phone will reboot and you have working jb system
- it worked for me but no guarantee it'll work for you!
hope it helps.
if sh /cf3d_uninstall.sh doesnt work , try 'sh /system/lib/cf3d_uninstall.sh" instead.

Hi, i'm a boy from Finland. I have the same problem as "manju_xda" but i have the root permissions in my device..
The question is.. .. I'm stucked with chainfire 3d and my adb shell tells that "adbd cannot run as root in production builds" .. What to do?
And sorry for my bad english
For those who found this thread on Google, I found my solution in here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2362873
This will only work if you can access a root prompt (#) in adb shell! THIS WAS DONE AFTER DOING A WIPE FROM THE VOLUME DOWN MENU WHEN BOOTING THE PRIME! I do not know if this will work without the wipe, but it very well may. Maybe someone more knowledgeable can chime in here.
It may be possible to restore from a su-backup if you have a su binary still in /system/bin or xbin. Even if you can't access a root prompt (#) by just typing su, read starting at page 6. Places to look for a su-backup include /system/ /system/usr/we-need-root/ and /system/bin/
I have a batch script in the works that will determine if you can re-root and take the appropriate steps to do so if possible.
I had to do a voldown wipe after my update to JB. My prime would reboot after 5-10 seconds into the homescreen after boot. After wiping, I thought for sure my root was screwed until a new exploit was found.
I accessed my device through adb, and realized that I could invoke a root prompt using the su command at the $ prompt. Using ES file explorer, I could see su in /system/bin/ but no su-backup or superuser.apk in /system/app/.
I tried simply installing superuser from the market, but it did not work. The busybox installer would not work, either.
ATTACHED ARE THE EXACT THREE FILES I USED. I do not know if using different version will affect the process!
Here is what worked for me:
1. adb shell
2. su
(# - you should see this now! This will not work without this specific prompt!)
3. type 'exit' press enter, and then 'exit' again. You will now be back at the regular command prompt.
4. adb push C:\(location of attached files)\superuser.apk /data/local/tmp
5. adb push C:\(location of attached files)\su /data/local/tmp
6. adb push C:\(location of attached files)\busybox /data/local/tmp
7. Access the adb shell again, and type su
8. chmod 644 /data/local/tmp/superuser.apk
9. chmod 755 /data/local/tmp/busybox
10. chmod 6755 /data/local/tmp/su
11. mount -o remount,rw /system
12. dd if=/data/local/tmp/Superuser.apk of=/system/app/Superuser.apk
13. dd if=/data/local/tmp/busybox of=/system/bin/busybox
14. dd if=/data/local/tmp/busybox of=/system/xbin/busybox
14a. Chmod 755 /system/bin/busybox
14b. Chmod 755 /system/xbin/busybox
15. Reserved
16. busybox rm /system/bin/su
17. busybox cp /data/local/tmp/su /system/bin
18. type su once again to assure you still have access to the # prompt
18a. Chmod 644 /system/app/superuser.apk
18b. mount -o remount,ro /system
19. type exit, and exit again, returning to the regular windows command prompt.
20. type 'adb reboot' (without quotes)
NOTE - you will not need to install the superuser.apk app in the normal sense. It will be installed upon the reboot as a system app automatically!
21. Once your prime has rebooted, go download root checker basic or the like from the play store. Open it, and wait for your superuser prompt!
22. Get the busybox installer from the play store as well, and use that to get the newest version of busybox.
23. Get SuperSU from the market. It seems to be the safest method to keep root with JB...
ALSO! Make sure to keep a backup root with voodoo or super su after completing this guide! I have lost root (VERY WELL may have been my own fault... too much poking around) Anyway, better safe than sorry!!!
Thanks to daymz from the debugfs thread in development for the basic instructions of what needed to be done!! And also thanks to all before me who got us root in the first place!
I will answer questions to the best of my ability. I am not a developer and do not try to present myself as so... I can tinker with the best, and after losing root, I set out to see if I could figure it out!
Changes made as per tsmt971
I have fellow this method and it was failed at step 16 in my case because of the permission issue but I managed to make it move and regained the root. The details of the issue as below.
Step 16 failed because step 13, 14 which will copy busybox to /system/bin and /system/xbin with a wrong executive permission.
To correct in my case: after step 13, 14 follow those steps below:
- chmod 755 /system/bin/busybox
- chmod 755 /system/xbin/busybox
- skip step 15
- continue steps 16, 17, 18
- chmod 644 /system/app/Superuser.apk
- continue step 19, 20, 21, 22
Then you will get your root back, it worked in my case. Good luck guys.
To the OP, please verify and update those steps if necessary.

The drivers look fine like before in Device Manager when I plug in (Asus Android Composite ADB Interface). I have switched USB Debugging on and do not have Asus Sync installed. Everything on the ADB side works with my phone OK.
I used Rootkeeper to restore root after upgrade though it now seems that was only partial. I did a factory reset to clear out a few gremlins. Now Rootkeeper has the Root permission granted box unchecked but the rest checked but I guess since it doesn't have root access anymore it won't do anything. I have tried uninstall and reinstall Superuser but it fails at updating the binary.
Any suggestions to get ADB back much appreciated .

I had to do a voldown wipe after my update to JB. My prime would reboot after 5-10 seconds into the homescreen after boot. After wiping, I thought for sure my root was screwed until a new exploit was found.
I accessed my device through adb, and realized that I could invoke a root prompt using the su command at the $ prompt. Using ES file explorer, I could see su in /system/bin/ but no su-backup or superuser.apk in /system/app/.
I tried simply installing superuser from the market, but it did not work. The busybox installer would not work, either.
ATTACHED ARE THE EXACT THREE FILES I USED. I do not know if using different version will affect the process!
Here is what worked for me:
1. adb shell
2. su
(# - you should see this now! This will not work without this specific prompt!)
3. type 'exit' press enter, and then 'exit' again. You will now be back at the regular command prompt.
4. adb push C:\(location of attached files)\superuser.apk /data/local/tmp
5. adb push C:\(location of attached files)\su /data/local/tmp
6. adb push C:\(location of attached files)\busybox /data/local/tmp
7. Access the adb shell again, and type su
8. chmod 644 /data/local/tmp/superuser.apk
9. chmod 755 /data/local/tmp/busybox
10. chmod 6755 /data/local/tmp/su
11. mount -o remount,rw /system
12. dd if=/data/local/tmp/Superuser.apk of=/system/app/Superuser.apk
13. dd if=/data/local/tmp/busybox of=/system/bin/busybox
14. dd if=/data/local/tmp/busybox of=/system/xbin/busybox
14a. Chmod 755 /system/bin/busybox and /system/xbin/busybox
15. Reserved
16. busybox rm /system/bin/su
17. busybox cp /data/local/tmp/su /system/bin
18. type su once again to assure you still have access to the # prompt
18a. Chmod 644 /system/app/superuser.apk
19. type exit, and exit again, returning to the regular windows command prompt.
20. type 'adb reboot' (without quotes)
NOTE - you will not need to install the superuser.apk app in the normal sense. It will be installed upon the reboot as a system app automatically!
21. Once your prime has rebooted, go download root checker basic or the like from the play store. Open it, and wait for your superuser prompt!
22. Get the busybox installer from the play store as well, and use that to get the newest version of busybox.
Thanks to daymz from the debugfs thread in development for the basic instructions of what needed to be done!! And also thanks to all before me who got us root in the first place!
I will answer questions to the best of my ability. I am not a developer and do not try to present myself as so... I can tinker with the best, and after losing root, I set out to see if I could figure it out!

I accessed my device through adb, and invoked a root prompt using the su command at the $ prompt. Using ES file explorer, I saw su in /system/bin/ but no su-backup or superuser.apk in /system/app/. Followed the steps. After completing the steps, and rebooting, I have Superuser.apk in system/app, however with root checker, root not found!
Install busybox installer says that my device is rooted, but install failed.
No root for me
Edit: I got it. I am now rooted. Thanks for everyone's assistance!
RootKeeper says that I have:
- Superuser app installed (yes)
- Device rooted (no)
- Root permission granted (no)
- /system supports root protection (yes)
- Protected su copy available (yes)
However, I can't get true SU and the # prompt. When I enter shell and type 'su' I get:
1|[email protected]:/
So, I'm stuck at instruction #11 when I attempt to mount /system as rw.
Any ideas if I'm still eligible to root this baby?
work beautifully for me!! :good::good:
now have root after a wipe.
thanks for sharing mdpgc.

Try the steps again. I know I had to do it several times before it was successful for me
I used these steps exactly
1. adb shell
2. su
(# - you should see this now! This will not work without this specific prompt!)
3. type 'exit' press enter, and then 'exit' again. You will now be back at the regular command prompt.
4. adb push C:\(location of attached files)\superuser.apk /data/local/tmp
5. adb push C:\(location of attached files)\su /data/local/tmp
6. adb push C:\(location of attached files)\busybox /data/local/tmp
7. Access the adb shell again, and type su
8. chmod 644 /data/local/tmp/superuser.apk
9. chmod 755 /data/local/tmp/busybox
10. chmod 6755 /data/local/tmp/su
11. mount -o remount,rw /system

18. busybox cp /data/local/tmp/su /system/bin
Type su once again to assure you still have access to the # prompt
19. chmod 644 /system/app/Superuser.apk

Are you suggesting that if I do a system wipe on my stock rom JB and run your commands I will eventually get root?
Hx4700, i got stuck doing a wipe after the update, and this worked for me. The wipe does not seem to remove su from /system/bin/ meaning we have a way back in through adb.
But, what if Voodoo didn't work before and you are unable to get su through adb in the first place? Are you suggesting that a wipe will resolve the blocked root access or did you have different circumstances?

If you cannot access a root prompt, then i do not believe it will work. Using a file explorer like es, does a su file exist in /system/bin? I had to wipe as i was bootlooping, and cant comment on how it pertains to how i was able to get root back!

Yes, one does. Also su-backup in /system... Any feelings?
Hm, weird you cant get a root prompt through adb. From my experience, if su exists there, adb should be able to invoke a root prompt. Do you have any issue using adb push?

Nope adb push works fine. But I can't mount /system rw, which is causing me the headache. Really wish I had known the voodoo update switched around things. I feel so foolish haha.

I figured that would be the problem... Should I root my device using the ICS method first or that wouldn't work any more?

can you please post that script?
as of changing permission use chmod 0755 script.sh
as android/busybox chmod binary does not uses the chmod +x or chmod a+x notation
and make sure that su binary is installed i.e phone is rooted
here is the script
https://www.dropbox.com/s/8atidhjswrts7qe/yamas.sh
Solution
You need to root your phone.
Also you must have Busy Box Installed.
Here is the link to Google Play of that busybox app: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.jrummy.busybox.installer
Don't install the few latest versions because it is in nightlies.
I use Samsung Galaxy Y and I use the version 1.18.2.
Reboot your phone after installation.
Also you must have script manager installed.
Here is the link to Google Play of that manager app: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=os.tools.scriptmanager
Open Script Manager and give super user access.
Tap on Menu > Advanced Options > Config
Scroll down until you see Browse as Root
Tap on it and press the back button to save
Once again grant Script Manager SuperUser Access to save config
Exit Script Manager
Now again open Script Manager and browse for your script file (yamas.sh)
Tap on it and set properties to:
Favorites (Star Icon)
Root (Green Android Skull Icon)
After setting properties, tap on Run to execute the script installer.
When executed, it will do initial test, be patient and wait for it to complete its tasks.
Press thanks if I have helped.
I'm gettingthe same error .. i've done evrything u've said but still .. here is the error msg .. even if i give the script the root permission, still it ask for permission again i dont know why!!
Error resolving interpreter:/bin/sh does not exist
Using default shell
exec sh '/storage/emulated/legacy/yamas.sh'
[email protected]:/ # exec sh '/storage/emulated/legacy/yamas.sh'
You are not running this script as root.
Please become root (e.g. "su") before launching this script

Download a root checker app from the play store and check whether your phone is really rooted.
If no, try to root again by following tutorials on xda.
If yes, update su binaries.
Also go to settings / preferences of superuser app, and click automatic response and then select 'allow'.
That script was placed in sd card right?
Then it maybe the app which copies to a specified location before executing it.

See the link again. I added more information.

So I'm trying to test a script, test.sh which I saved in /cache. Chmod + x test.sh returns bad mode, Chmod 777 and others, 700, 666, etc. does nothing to change the file's permissions and no errors are given. Just for giggles ./test.sh returns not found. Rooted with Magisk, issued su beforehand, terminal app has root (Terminal Emulator). What gives?
Even more interesting....
ls -la shows no changes, however Power File Browser shows the script is 770 and is able to change permissions and shows the permissions changing. It also shows that the script now simply named test is also getting it's permissions changed with chmod, so perhaps there is an issue with ls -la in Stricson's Busybox? But why can't I ./ ?
Ok. Doing a which ls and which chmod shows /bin, but busybox is in /xbin, however calling busybox directly busybox ls -la and gives the same result doesn't show the +x but busybox chmod +x does work, so the chmod in the stock ROM doesn't support using +.
Busybox ./test does nothing either.
Found the issue with the file not running ./ and not found had #!/bin/sh and it requires #!/system/bin/sh at the top of the script.
In conclusion the ls -la command does not work correctly.
