If I were to flash a blank su and a blank superuser.apk over my current install, would that work?
(a little brief but that makes this easy to read)
Hm, I guess that when an app tries to get root acces using su binary it would get an error. Why would you do something like that anyway?

Just a random thought as to whether it would work as an unroot. (for warranty returns and such)

It will show nothing
It is not showing exact skull..but 2 bones ame half face above it..

Yup. the app's name is superuser? Then you're rooted. try installing apps that require root access and see if it works.
Thanks for the help..those applications will require super user to work?
Sent from my E10i using XDA App
- Titanium Backup (but you need to install busybox first)
- Barnacle Wifi Tethering
- Root Explorer
- SetCPU
Those apps will ask for superuser access when you launch them for the first time. If you allowed it to and it works, then you are rooted.
As all these applications you mentioned are paid applications..so I tried droid firewall which asked for superuser access but when I allow it to access it gave an error..dat means it is not rooted..once again thanks..plz tell me another thing..have you rooted your phone?are you having xperia x 10?

All of those are free apps. I haz a rooted x10minipro since day 1 of the 2.1 update.
Best way to test for root
The best way to test for root is to install a Terminal Emulator app, open it.
When you see a $ sign, enter 'su' and press enter.
If you have root, a new sign, #, will replace the dollar sign on the next line.
If not, a message saying 'permission denied' or something like that will be displayed.
Good luck

Can you plz tell me if there is any disadvantage of rooting?is it easy to do?how it can be done on xperia x10mini..i want to root my phone just because I want to move the applications to sd card..
Sent from my E10i using XDA App
there are other terminal emulators available. try connectbot or etc.
they should work!
when you root, you risk permanently damaging your phone
and moving apps to sdcard only works on froyo(2.2) or higher.
please thank me if i have helped you

the 'thank me' is for telling you the best way to check for root. the other suggestions on the front page are utter crap!!!
open up a shell and type in su and press enter
By installing a different su i will replace the current one right? Or will i brick it etc

I've wondered about this too. I'm sure no brick, worst case maybe have to reinstall a rom; but do you grant new superuser root access with old superuser then delete old superuser?

In the old superuser application, you must go to settings and press the "prepare for new superuser application" button.
Once you have that done, download the new one and it should work from there.

I don't see that option in the settings of the Superuser app. I was always under the impression that you could install the new app, update the su binary using the new app (giving it superuser privileges from the old app), and then removing the old app.

Hi all,
I have just rooted my HTC Evo V which I am assuming is just a revamped Evo 3D, and I'm just learning some of the scripting basics. However when I try to reboot the phone with terminal emulator using:
su
reboot
It returns "not permitted!" And if I input:
sudo
I get /system/bin/sh sudo: not found
Am I missing something? Or am I not doing something right? Any help will be highly appreciated.
Thanks
Sent from my HTCEVOV4G using xda app-developers app
I just did:
su
(Granted superuser permission)
reboot
It worked for me. My guess is that "Not permitted" means that the terminal emulator app isn't being granted superuser permission.
Ok, here goes.
Does it matter that I'm using just the "patched" stock Android OS? Or that I still have S-On with the stock hboot bootloader (unlocked)?
I'm using the stock OS because I like the 3D and I have heard that the 3D on the other roms isn't working yet. However if the other stuff needs changing please let me know what.
Currently I'm using twrp recovery.

Have you flashed a superuser zip file and installed busybox? I think the reboot command requires busybox.

I flashed Superuser-3.0.7-efghi-signed.zip and have busybox 1.20.2 installed via busybox installer free using "smart install"

Have you used the Root Checker app from the Play Store to make sure that you have root working properly?

Yes and it says that everything checks out except for sudo.

Clear data for superuser in "manage apps" then try again and see if you get a prompt to approve root access.

Are you using su or sudo? Su worked fine for me but sudo said no such file.
Same thing. Is there a different su zip that I can try flashing maybe the one I have is somehow effed up and not working properly.

Sudo isn't a command in android, if you haven't tried yet, try just su. There are stock ROMs in development with root and everything (including 4g and 3d) working, maybe try one of those?

That recovery is outdated, let me give you all files needed
Flash the recovery like the tutorial mentioned
Then flash the SuperSU file in that recovery
and then install the Adaway apk after removing the other adaway
Its not resolve problem...

This might be a silly question, but you didnt download superuser from the market did you ? Do other root apps work ? If not then download rootchecker app. Adaway works perfect for me
@Dernom, in your root checker app, it says /system/bin/su is not installed, but /system/xbin/su is installed. So AdAway tries to run /system/bin/su which isn't there. To resolve this, either flash SuperSu through recovery (not install via Play Store!), or if that doesn't work, create a symlink to /system/xbin/su with the following procedure;
Connect your Phone to PC, make sure USB Debugging is enabled, and enter adb shell. This should get you in the command line of your phone. There you type ln -s /system/xbin/su /system/bin/su.
