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.

In trying to enable the webtop app I renamed the PortalApp.apk to PortalApp.apk.bak. Now I get an error message:
"The application com.android.portal (com.android.portal) has stopped unexpectedly.Please try again."
I know, I shouldn't have renamed that apk when in the thread it didn't say to but I figured I needed to replace that too. I've learned my lesson.
How can I go about fixing this?
Connect your mobile to computer .
I hope you have adb checked already!
Open cmd.
And write:
adb shell
su
(and TRY TO ALLOW on the phone)
mv system/app/PortalApp.apk.bak system/app/PortalApp.apk
If you can't allow SU request, respond here. To give a try with same commands on early usb enumeration!
If I helped, hit thanks button

Do you mean PortalApp.apk instead of Portal.apk?

I do have the sdk installed and I've used it before but I've forgotten how to get to it. Just typing "adb shell" on the first line of cmd won't do much help if I'm not in the right directory.
With windows explorer!
Find your sdk folder. Enter it.
Copy everything.
Go to Windows folder, and paste everything!
Now you have "adb" command directly in your cmd prompt!

Can I give you one million thanks?
Everything worked out alright!
Yes.
Go to xda settings, click the autothanks button, put "Paschalis" and then allow SU Request on your atrix!
Heheheh!!
Your are welcome!!

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.

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.

I would appreciate if somebody could tell me step by step on how to root my phone.
There are many different variants on the photon-torpedo method that you can find on these forums, the stickies, and through google search, but here is the step by step method I prefer. Credit goes to Edgan.
Photon Root Instructions
1. Create a folder in the C:/ drive on your Windows 7 machine called Photon root. (You can call it anything you want, but that’s what I called mine and will use for the purpose of this post).
2. Download and install the adb package from http://gititbit.ch/AFAS and install them into C:/Photon root.
3. Download photon-torpedo.tar from http://proton.cygnusx-1.org/~edgan/photon/photon-torpedo.tar and copy it to C:/Photon root in your windows machine. Do not unzip it.
4. On your phone, go to Settings > Applications > Development and select USB Debugging.
5. Plug your phone to your computer and on your phone, set it to USB Mass Storage.
6. Copy photon-torpedo.tar from C:/Photon Root to your phone’s internal storage using Windows 7. Don’t put it in any folder, and leave it zipped.
7. Install Superuser from the Market. (This is absolutely necessary to do before you get started or it won’t work)
8. Open the command prompt (Start >> run “cmd” >> enter)
9. Type the following commands – don’t worry about the errors, it will be all right
• cd C:/photon root • adb push photon-torpedo.tar /data/tmp • adb shell • cd /data/tmp • /bin/tar xf /data/tmp/photon-torpedo.tar • /data/tmp/photon-torpedo.sh • /data/tmp/install-su.sh
10. That's it. Reboot and enjoy.

I just verified the download, it has the adb.exe you seek, and also the photon-torpedo.tar file you'll need. It's all in a zip file, QBKing77 also includes a video on what to do.
Hope this helps.
Btw, drop a thanks on mof for the work. You might also seriously consider flashing mof's Slim ROM, it's great.

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
