Guys,
When I go into terminal and type 'SU' to use Imo's kernel speedtweaks, I get 'permission denied'...
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks!
Check your superuser app to make sure it isn't set to deny su permissions to terminal emulator.

All I have are allowed apps.... I am accessing terminal emulator thru the bamf toolkit which is set to allow.
check to see if su even exists (probably under /system/xbin, but maybe under /system/bin as well).
after you find it, see what the permissions are on it (ls -l -a su)

Found it in system\xbin....how do I check permissions? Long press on it only gives me send,move,copy,rename or delete.
Thanks for your help!

open up the terminal emulator command line (if you dont have a terminal emulator, search for one in the market), then type:
ls -l /system/xbin/su
or
busybox -l /system/xbin/su
then paste the results
*just a note for your own reference, linux/unix use forward slashes (/) for directories, not backwards (\) like windows

Wierd...its saying no such file or directory...but in file manager, its there!

You are not typing it in all caps are you? Linux is case-sensitive.
if you did the later command, i meant:
busybox ls -l /system/xbin/su
had a typo
they should be the same, unless somehow linking is messed up on your system, so i mentioned doing it both ways, since android has a more stripped down version of ls built into the phone that isn't as great.
like the post before mentioned...no caps.

Hi guys!
I created this thread mainly because many useful things can be done in Terminal emulator. I will show you some simple commands which are useful.
Very useful if you don't have Root explorer when you need it.
Make sure you take a Nandroid backup before you try out just in case you can restore when you do something wrong!
You can get terminal Emulator from here: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=jackpal.androidterm&hl=en
Note: Most commands need root. So type su and press enter and grant superuser permissions to Terminal Emulator!
First type this command before using any of the commands below just in case(needs root)
Code:
su
Some useful commands:
Turning device off (Turns your device off very fast!! ):
Code:
poweroff
Rebooting:
Code:
reboot
Rebooting to Recovery
Code:
reboot recovery
Rebooting to download mode:
Code:
reboot download
Forcing Most Apps to install to SDcard(Root needed with Terminal Emulator, no need root with ADB):
Code:
pm setInstallLocation 2
Alternatively, you can type 0 at the end instead of 2 for Auto location install mode or 1 for Internal memory install mode
To check what the current install location is:
Code:
pm getInstallLocation
Mounting R/W in system(Use with caution)
Code:
mount -o rw,remount -t /system
If above one doesnt work, try this.
Code:
mount -o rw,remount -t ext3 /dev/block/mmcblk1p21 /system
Unmounting R/W in system.
Code:
mount -o ro,remount -t /system
If above code doesn't work, try this
Code:
mount -o ro,remount -t ext3 /dev/block/mmcblk1p21 /system
Moving files from sdcard to system (Use after mounting R/W):
Code:
busybox cp /sdcard/<path> /system/<path>
Example: busybox cp /sdcard/demo/framework-res.apk /system/framework/
Changing file permissions to rw-r--r-- (Use after mounting R/W):
Code:
chmod 644 <path>
Example 1: chmod 644 /system/app/mms.apk
Example 2: chmod 644 /system/app/*.apk (This command changes the file permission of all apps in the folder to rw-r--r--)
Changing the current directory:
Code:
cd <path>
Example: cd /sdcard
Listing all the files and folders under the current directory:
Code:
ls
If you want to view all the files and folders in your sdcard, type:
cd /sdcard
ls
Making a new folder:
Code:
mkdir <path>
Example: mkdir /sdcard/newfolder
Removing files (For System files, Use after mounting R/W)
Code:
rm <path>
Example: rm /system/app/demoapp.apk
Removing Folders:
Code:
rmdir <path>
Get info of your build.prop values
Code:
getprop
That's all for now. I will add a few more later!
If you have any more new commands or if I have given an improper command, feel free to post it in the thread
Thanks for reading.
Have you any idea on why if I were to enter pm set-install-location 2(SD card), the next line would be "Killed"?

No problem. This is the output from the Terminal Emulator. The bold command changes the default install dir to the SD card:

I never got that problem on adb.
Let me see....
This:
mount -o remount rw system
Is much easier than the previous one to mount readwrite.

The boot animation started but..i couldn't stop it!! I could "use" the phone (i caught 4 or 5 screens) but the only thing i saw was the bootanimation.. i had to pull the battery off and restart my ace.. any solution??

That is the use of the bootanimation command. You can stop it either by pulling battery or closing terminal emulator!
But what I did to stop it was to rotate my phone to landscape and somehow close terminal emulator.
But in ADB it is easier to stop using exit command.

Just done it, after loosing root while accidentally updating to r5a i can confirm i gained root again with that!
I guess thats kind of cool and should be implemented in the all in one rooting stuff and everything
Here you can find a little zipfile with all the needed Files and a README which describes How-To do it:
https://d1sturbed.org/android/root-r5a-v3.zip
there is also a v4, which contains a new binary and a new script...on Linux you now can just unzip the v4 and then execute doit.sh (perhaps someone can pass me a doit.bat or something, i guess it could run as a batch file for windows, but since i'm to sleepy and lazy to reboot into windows it's untestet. but you can try by removing the first line and rename to .bat)
https://d1sturbed.org/android/root-r5a-v4.zip
Procedure
Expand where appropriate the android_run_root_shell-test.zip, to libdiagexploit of android_run_root_shell-test.zip within the deployment just the "Android.mk", "diag.c", "diag.h" of libdiagexploit-master.zip deployment.
Go to the folder where you extracted the android_run_root_shell-test.zip from the terminal,
> Ndk-build NDK_PROJECT_PATH =. APP_BUILD_SCRIPT =. / Android.mk
Type.
Run_root_shell is created in "android_run_root_shell-master/obj/local/armeabi" Then.
Expand to "android_run_root_shell-master/obj/local/armeabi" the su and Superuser.apk from UPDATE-SuperSU-v1.30.zip, busybox also be moved to the same folder.
From terminal
> Adb push run_root_shell / data / local / tmp
> Adb push su / data / local / tmp
> Adb push Superuser.apk / data / local / tmp
> Adb push busybox / data / local / tmp
> Adb shell
$ Cd / data / local / tmp
$ Chmod 777 run_root_shell
$ Chmod 755 busybox
$. / Run_root_shell
# / Data / local / tmp / busybox mount-o rw, remount / system
# / Data / local / tmp / busybox cp / data / local / tmp / su / system / xbin
# / Data / local / tmp / busybox cp / data / local / tmp / Superuser.apk / system / app
# Chown 0.0 / system / xbin / su
# Chmod 6755 / system / xbin / su
# / Data / local / tmp / busybox mount-o ro, remount / system
# Sync
# Exit
Is over. It would help to delete the ones that you push to / data / local / tmp afterward.
> Adb shell
$ Rm / data / local / tmp / run_root_shell
$ Rm / data / local / tmp / su
$ Rm / data / local / tmp / Superuser.apk

no, it does not include adb or anything.
You need working adb for you OS and the zip file.
I just extracted the needed stuff from the linked projects (Superuser and busybox), added a little shell script that copies the apk and the binaries..
and while writing this post i've seen that i didn't install the busybox binary at all...so i fixed this with v2, added with this post... i also updated the README as i forgot to mention that run_root_shell and root.sh have to get executable bit

tried to look at your screenshot i saw you tried to execute the shellscript on the windows system? you really should read the README...you have to push the files to the device, everything from the zip file...and after that get a shell via adb shell and then you can execute the run_root_shell and after that the root.sh skript to finally install superuser.apk / busybox and su commands

looks good, after that you could install Superuser.apk/su/busybox by yourself or use execute root.sh ./root.sh to do it automatically...you can verify that you are root by using the command "id" but the root.sh script checks if your user id is 0 (root)
