restart your phone, make sure your sd card is in your phone, another option is to follow the simple rooting method in my signature.

 

[iSwim77]

Whenever I get to step 4 I put in adb and it keeps saying "permisson denied" How do I fix this?

 

[jcwxguy]

are you in the correct directory that has adb? also enabled usb debugging? and correct drivers? if all yes, i would reboot your phone and start over

 

[shmooperdooper]

Balls.

I've now successfully rooted five times on my Mac within Terminal, but the root refuses to "stick" on exit. (See terminal output below. Note: After first "exit" command, the prompt returns from "#" to "$".) From this thread, it seems at least two people went through similar problems, but I can't figure out how to replicate (or I don't understand) their solutions.

Suggestions, please?

Side question, though possibly related -- Is there another way I should be rebooting besides hitting the power button to shut down? Edit: I tried the adb reboot, which made no difference.

The first exit, exits out of the super user shell which is represented by a # returning you to a standard shell. Both exist simultaneously.

I wonder, root may in fact be sticking. When you open your adb shell it shows you '$' which is a standard non-root user shell, have you typed "su" without the quotes to switch to the super user or root shell?

./gingerbreak failed?

no matter how often i restart my phone, or pull the battery, I keep getting [-] sendmsg<> failed? for step 8. I've been attempting for the past 4 hours before posting anything. I'm attempting to root, because my phone is starting to completely crumble (freezing during text messaging, random reboots, poor gps, etc), but it just keeps failing on step 8. This is the only issue i have. Rooted my old htc hero, so this is not my first attempt at rooting.

thanks

Oh, that makes more sense.... But yes, I've rebooted, started up the shell again, and typed su. It just hangs for a bit, then returns "Permission denied"

Try the simple method in my signature, should work for you. Also wouldnt hurt to "revert" back to vd to fix any software issues on your phone before you root.

 

[jcwxguy]

try uninstalling super user on your phone, then re-installing it (just saw your using a mac, so ignore pm)

Rooting my hero seemed so much easier. How do i "revert" back to vd? I'm assuming this completely wipes my phone, and takes it back to what it was like out of the box. I've been looking for a way to do this, but haven't been able to find it.

directions are in my signature-"installed a custom rom and want to return to stock (or repair software issues with stock rom)", If you would like help doing this, i can help, check pm box. The "revert" takes anywhere from 10-20min on average Read through the entire first post, near the bottom you will see the
Substitute these steps to Force Flash VD

(my home computer takes 10min, but work computer took 20min before)

hmm, i'm trying to root using fusion on my mac laptop, and i'm doing all my searching here on my linux rig...possibly just overwhelmed. it looks like the "revert" option is for if i successfully rooted my phone, which i haven't.

The revert option is a straight up revert to stock does not require root, in fact the old root method required reverting to v9 first, you should not do this at it will likely require you to go through the blank screen issue, but if you follow the revert method and use the alternate links to flash vd you can than use the root method listed in jcwxguy's sig.

exactly, but i am unsure if you will be able to using fusion on a mac laptop. If you can, post on here saying you can, i know it will help some people out if it works

OOOOHHHH...the first part of your sig. sorry, i'm pretty annoyed by what should be a simple process, and thus, I've started putting down a couple of Michigan Micro brews, and everything is not as clear as it was when I started. i'm working through the revert now. I don't have a dedicated windoze machine, although I could reboot my mac into bootcamp if everyone here thinks that'd be best.

Though bootcamp would probably work, I'm interested to know if the drivers work in vmware as I'm sure others are as well. If you are feeling adventurous you could at least give it a shot. If it fails it will be before it writes anything to the phone so you shouldn't have to worry about hurting it just to test the drivers.

i'm not worried about software hurting my phone. I'm more likely to beat it with a hammer at this point. I'm still making the effort with fusion. If reverting doesn't work today, I'm going to scrap it for a while, and put up with my issues before attempting to try again in bootcamp. right now i'm having issues running the kp500 executable. will post with updates

Ok, this is bizarre... I realized I hadn't checked "Allow installation of non-Market applications," (not even sure if that makes a difference) so I went ahead and checked it and tried running the root one last time. Same issue as before (Permission denied for "su") but I just downloaded and successfully installed the Superuser app and Titanium Backup from the Android Marketplace. It looks like I'm officially rooted.

Maybe there's a different command to get into su from Terminal? I did have to tweak the other commands slightly (as per this post)
