How To Root Your Htc Tatoo Android Based

ok so here are the steps that i follow to do this hack
If you need a root privileges you must do some simple steps
Here i use a Linux based system to do that , can be also used Windows or Mac however ,the choice is yours
First thing we need to communicate with our htc tatoo
So we need some tools
Download:Android SDK ===>>> http://developer.and.../sdk/index.html
Fastboot ===>>> http://developer.htc.com/adp.html
After you download this things , you must unzip them
OK so i renamed the directory android-sdk-linux_86 to android , its more easy to work under a linux shell for me
First thing to do now is to put the Fastboot file in /android/tools/
directory
Adb will help us to have a connection with the htc in recovery mode
Fastboot will work with htc in fastboot mode

Now make sure that you have set Debug Mode in your phone
You can change this settings under Settings>Application>Development>Debug USB jutt put the flag to set this option
Let's start
Set the permission to the executable

cd /android/tools
 chmod +x fastboot

So here we can export the Path to use this tools without need to enter every time the full path

echo 'export PATH=/home/user/android-sdk-linux/tools/:$PATH' >> /home/user/.bashrc

After that just exit or loggout to make the change permanent
Now we don't need to specify every time /home/user/android/tools ./adb
We can simple use ./adb without the full path
Is just for the convenience
Connect your phone to the pc and type

./adb devices

Must have an output like this


List of devices attached
HT93YKF00480

Don't forget to have the privilege needed to do that
Now download the exploit to gain the root access from Here
Extract the files to your current directory
Follow this steps

cd tatt00hack
adb push m7 /data/local/bin/m7
adb push tattoo-hack.ko /data/local/bin/tattoo-hack.ko
adb push su /sdcard

Note that is used adb ,so if you will not export the PATH like we did before
u must use

/home/user/android/tools/./adb options

With this commands that we did before we copy the files we ned to our phone
Now let's exploit , we drop in our phone shell

adb shell

Make the exploit executable and proceed to execute the code

chmod 755 /data/local/bin/m7
cd /data/local/bin
while true ; do /data/local/bin/m7; done

After the code was executed the sign $ will be changed to #

So we have root access
Now to make this change definitive

export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/system/lib
export PATH=/system/bin
insmod /data/local/bin/tattoo-hack.ko
mount -o rw,remount /dev/block/mtdblock5 /data[]
mount -o rw,remount /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system
mv /system/bin/su /system/bin/su.old (here probably we get an error ,don't worry)
cat /sdcard/su > /system/bin/su
chmod 6755 /system/bin/su
reboot

The phone will reboot
To use tho root we can download the Terminal emulator
directly from our htc tatoo

You must go under /system/bin directory
Then use su to get root
Use also id to see if you are the root

# iduid=0(root) gid=1000(shell) groups=1003(graphics),1004(input),1007(log),1011(adb),1015(sdcard_rw),3001(net_bt_admin),3002(net_bt),3003(inet)

iduid=0(root) means you are root
