Problems with terminal after unrEVOked rooted (no su)

[branded]

Hello,

First off, let me say, this is my first android device. I have some experience with linux and previously owned a rooted Palm Pre.

I have an HTC EVO, and have rooted it (at least I think it's rooted), with a program called unrEVOked. It flashed a NAND called ClockworkMod Recovery (2.5.0.1), and I can get to the shell using the adb shell command when it is in recovery mode.

However, even with the SuperUser app installed, I'm having trouble running sudo or any command at the terminal (on the phone), and the apps appear to also be having trouble executing any commands that are within /sbin/ (such as killall for the Shark capture packet sniffer). This is persistent while in USB Debugging Mode and running adb shell.


I didn't have to interact with the system at all during unrEVOked, including creating a user, which struck me as odd. Also, never set up an SSH server daemon, but that's okay. I'd be a happy guy if 1) I could actually use commands in /sbin/ and programs could also do this. Note that at a terminal, when I run aname, it tells me that I don't have permission. sudo su does the same.


Any help is appreciated.


Thanks,

Matt

Alright... I can get su root via the adb shell and terminal emulator.

It still doesn't appear that apps like a file manager, and Shark packet sniffer can get root though; even with granting them SuperUser access. Any ideas?

With android your going to want to type "su" and not "sudo". That said, FWIH, unrevoked isn't full root.

Tapatalk. Samsung Moment. Yep.

Thanks for replying quickly.

Okay... so, unrevoked must do what? Change the runlevel of newly spawned processes?

Is this correct? Sharkcap or whatever it's called, attempts a killall to stop itself (lovely programming), and it states "killall not found" in the debug log of the app. If unrevoked changes the runlevel of newly spawned apps, this may be me being stupid.

Is this what unrevoked does?

Also, what can I do to obtain real root?


Thanks!

Matt
