Add root to ROM

Hello,
I have created a ROM, but it does not have root access - how do I add root access to this ROM?
Thanks,
Isaac

From what I remember you need to go to Terminal, and type in:
Code:
telnetd
After that...
# Download an Android "Telnet" application from the Market and connect to localhost.
# If you connect successfully, you will have a root prompt "#".
# Type the following into Telnet (these commands will give you root access easier in the future):
* mount -o rw,remount -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system
* cd sdcard
* flash_image recovery recovery.img
* cat recovery.img > /system/recovery.img

That's only for RC29 though, and in RC29 it executed anything you typed in, so you are supposed to type it into the home screen. More info here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=442480
Hopefully it will work on the ROM you worked on as well.
Good luck!
Big fan of your app, btw.

i want a SiriusXM player, and got mad you didn't have one,

Boot into the recovery console (power + home) and then drop into the shell (alt+x).
Then do this:
Code:
# mount system
# cd /system/bin
# cat sh > su
# chmod 4755 su
# reboot

Thanks! That worked perfectly!

instructons

how do you send this to the g1 using adb
Now, copy a busybox binary to /data/local/busybox with adb push, and then connect to your phone with adb shell, and give the busybox binary execute permissions (i.e. chmod 755 /data/local/busybox)
busybox has a telnet applet, so you can do:
busybox telnet 127.0.0.1
to get a telnet session with root access.
- If you don't want to register the phone at all, you can set the app.setupwizard.disable property to 0 to prevent registration. Once you have an adb shell session open, type the following:
setprop app.setupwizard.disable 1
can someone send step by step instructions of how to do this so i can bypss the activation screen without using wifi

[MOD] v0.3.1 Working Full Ubuntu for 1.5.7 and 1.8.3 based on Sogarth's script

Sogarth's webtop2sd will be released soon, you really should wait and install that instead of this! Thanks -The Management
No longer breaks on 1.83, thanks to Romracer
Update: This script worked on my phone. Mind you I was installing it from a fresh SBF flash, but it should work on your phone too. Absolutely no guarantees as usual.
Update 11th April 2011, 06:59 PM: Won't be getting CWM package because it'd be huuuuuuuuuge.
Update 28th April 2011. 16:38 PM: Removing BETA tag since there have been no issues with the script for quite some time.
First off I would like to thank Sogarth for making this script in the first place as well as Romracer for fixing it for 1.83. Since he is busy doing more important work I decided to do this little hack for those of us that updated to 1.5.7 and dont feel like flashing back to earlier versions to get full Ubuntu working.
Again, this is only necessary if you're already running 1.5.7 or 1.8.3.
Secondly, I am still working on this script so it may not work for you. If you have a problem you may post in the thread or PM me showing exactly the error message, word for word, that you receive.
Updates will be included in the OP from time to time as I fix errors.
Instructions:
1) install.bat (from your computer)
2) adb shell (get a shell on your phone)
3) su (get root on your phone in that shell)
4) . /data/local/tmp/install.sh (run the install script *on your phone* don't forget the "." and the space after the dot, or you will have to chmod 755 the shell script manually)
5) ?????
6) profit\
Noob instructions, written by Viamonte (I take no credit or responsibility):
Thanks again for all your help. Now the noob instructions:
"1-Download "Terminal Emulator" from the market, on your phone (or any other terminal), and the file anexed in this thread to your computer.
2-Connect the Atrix to the computer via USB, configuring the connection mode to "None" and enabling USB Debugging mode (Settings>Applications>Development>USB debugging)
3-Unzip the file you downloaded on your pc, and run Install.bat. This will push the script to your phone.
4-Go back to your phone and open the emulator you downloaded. Then type "su" (without quotes) and press enter. Then type ". /data/local/tmp/install.sh" (without quotes) and press enter again.
The script should begin running now. It will stop in two moments where you'll be instructed to get a cup of coffee, and may take several minutes to continue form this point. When finished, the Atrix will reboot.
To check if this worked, use the Webtop either on your multimidia dock or your lapdock and verify if new itens appeared on your task bar and on the right upper side of the screen"
0.3.1 release
0.2 release
0.1 first release
Changelog
0.3.1 fix to gconf file's mdate so it does what its supposed to do =)
0.3 Small typo fixes and cpp package install fix by romracer, now works on 1.83 =)
0.2 Fixed some typos in uninstall.sh and make sure the %gconf file wound up in the right spot.
0.1 - first version. NOT CWM install but ready to be packaged for that more or less

Nice, I'll give this a shot later.

Ill give it a shot when I get home!

Good effort, but 1.57 changes how we have to run commands as root. On a normal linux box, I'm sure your methods would work fine, but we're not dealing with a normal su binary. You should look into doing this as CWM as opposed to .bat files. I had a hell of a time getting around the restrictions since the psneuter exploit was closed.

Ah, I did not think about that Ririal, thanks for the info. I am not familiar with CWM though.
Why is the /tmp directory in /data ? That would certainly cause every script to fail.
I'll look at this some more tonight.

How about a shell script that we can run in terminal emulator ? and the output goes to screen and a log file for debug !

most of the script is now run by shell scripts, no reason you couldn't run them in the terminal emulator, just get the order right. There are also a few lines I didn't translate to shell so you'd have to enter them by hand.
In any case I'll keep working on this until Sogarth releases his version with union mounts =D

Ah ok my mistake, you didn't quote anything I didn't realize that's what you were responding too
Likely noexec flag causing that issue.
Also, you can't invoke su from inside a shell script. It just doesn't work with this su binary.

yeah, I guess not. I hadn't realized that it wasn't a real 'su' before making this... too bad.
If anyone figures out how to get around that we'll be in business Unfortunately that's way beyond my expertise.

Okay, after fiddling a little bit and talking to a friend I may have solved some of the problems, mainly with the scripts executing and su working.
I will have to rewrite a bunch of things but should report back tonight.

Running BETA_ubuntu-1.0.6.4.zip. File extracts to BETA_ubuntu-1.0.6.2 directory. Ran ubuntu-1.5.7.bat
Moved BETA_ubuntu-1.0.6.2 to C:\ Same error

The only easy workaround to that I can see at the moment is to
Code:
adb shell
su
chmod 777 /path-to-scripts/*
ls -l /path-to-scripts/*
make sure all the files are executable (should say rwxrwxrwx)
then remove the bit of code from 1.5.7.bat
Code:
set retval=
for /f "tokens=*" %%l in ('%~dps0adb.exe shell "/bin/chmod 6755 /mnt/sdcard-ext/shell/* > /dev/null 2>&1 && echo PASS"') do set retval=%%l
if "%retval%" neq "PASS" set message=Unable to chmod scripts. && goto abort
If anyone can help me fix this problem I should be able to automate the chmod process using ririal's suggestion of su -c. The problem is that there are too many nested quotation marks in this section of the batch file, and I can't for the life of me figure out how to escape quotes so they pass through to adb:
Code:
set retval=
for /f "tokens=*" %%l in ('%~dps0adb.exe shell "/system/bin/su -c [U]'/bin/chmod 6755 /mnt/sdcard-ext/shell/*'[/U] > /dev/null 2>&1 && echo PASS"') do set retval=%%l
if "%retval%" neq "PASS" set message=Unable to chmod scripts. && goto abort
The underlined bit is where I need to escape either single or double quotes.

As promised, this post describes how to root the Atrix HD Jelly Bean build. This should also work on other Motorola 4.1.2 builds (Razr/Razr Maxx, Razr HD, Razr M, etc.).
The exploit requires setting up a special Samba share and mounting this share on your phone using the File Manager app. I apologize that this process may seem involved for some of you, and request that members of this community help each other out if some of you are having problems completing the procedure. I'm not able to provide individual tech support to every user who wants to root this phone.
The following instructions require a working Linux installation. The following instructions are for Ubuntu. If you don't want to install Ubuntu permanently on your machine, I suggest using a LiveCD installation. Instructions on setting this up are described here:
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LiveCD#How-To_LiveCD_Ubuntu
Once you're booted into Ubuntu, open a terminal. Create a new directory for your Samba share:
Code:
mkdir /tmp/share
Next, install the samba package:
Code:
sudo apt-get install samba
Edit the configuration file for samba:
Code:
sudo gedit /etc/samba/smb.conf
Add the following lines to the end of the configuration file and save your changes:
Code:
[share]
path = /tmp/share
available = yes
valid users = guest
read only = yes
browsable = yes
public = yes
Close the text editor once you've saved your changes.
Next, create a user for the Samba share by typing in the terminal:
Code:
sudo useradd guest -m -G users
Set a password for the new user. Remember this password:
Code:
sudo passwd guest
Provide a password here and press enter. You won't see the characters you're typing, so be careful.
Next, set a password on the share. Use the same password you just provided:
Code:
sudo smbpasswd -a guest
Type the password you created before and press enter.
Next, restart the Samba server:
Code:
sudo restart smbd
Finally, download and prepare the required files to the Samba share:
Code:
cd /tmp/share
wget [url]http://vulnfactory.org/public/motoshare.tgz[/url]
tar xvf motoshare.tgz
sudo chown root:root pwn
sudo chmod 6755 pwn
At this point, you'll need to know the IP address of your Linux host, which you can get by running "ifconfig" from your terminal (it should be of the form "192.168.x.x").
Next, move over to your Android device. Ensure you have enabled USB Debugging Mode (under Settings -> Development Settings). Ensure your device is connected via Wifi.
Open the "File Manager" app, and select "Remote storage". Click "Add storage", and fill in fields as follows:
Code:
Host IP address: [your Linux machine's IP address]
Domain name: WORKGROUP
Shared folder name: share
User: guest
Password: [the password you created above]
At this point, the phone will mount your Linux share. To complete the process, plug in your phone via USB to your Linux machine, and type the following in your Linux terminal:
Code:
sudo /tmp/share/adb kill-server
sudo /tmp/share/adb shell /storage/rfs0/pwn
If it's successful, this should print "[+] Rooting complete!".
Finally, install Supersu by typing the following in the terminal:
Code:
sudo /tmp/share/adb install /tmp/share/eu.chainfire.supersu.apk
Congratulations, enjoy your rooted device.
I can't stress this enough: I can't provide individualized tech support for everyone on this forum. Please help each other.

Why would anyone even attempt to use a VM for this simple root method? You could've been rooted already if you had just followed the instructions.

Same problem here. I couldn't get past the adb kill-server command. It would tell me there is no such directory. If any one can get past this can someone please tell me what they did to get past it.

Does the root method have anything to do with having android sdk and ndk on your system? Im thinking thats what it is now. Would i have to have linux sdk to run with terminal root or windows sdk?

No, you don't need the Android SDK/NDK, since I included a copy of ADB in the tarball file that you extracted to /tmp/share.
What's the output of "ls -l /tmp/share/adb" on your Linux machine?

I had to re-flash official JB firmware in RSD Lite before the exploit would work. Before that, the Exploit would return "Root Complete", but there was no root access (though I could su to # in adb). I run Ubuntu 12.04 x64 at work already with Windows in VirtualBox.
RSD Lite doesn't seem to want to complete a flash in the Windows VMs I run in VirtualBox at work, so I waited until I got home and used my Windows 8 Pro machine to RSD the phone with the official JB firmware. I run Ubuntu 12.04 in a VirtualBox on that machine already, so after the RSD flash, I ran the exploit from that VM - BINGO - worked on the first try.
Failing other options, you might want to try re-flashing JB in RSD Lite and running the exploit on a fresh device.
I used the firmware in this thread (To fix the issue the thread is about):
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2057078
If you decide to try that, Be SURE to get the firmware zip AND THE XML and replace the XML before flashing!!

[APP] DropBear Server II // ssh/scp (root only)

I wanted to enable SCP and SSH using DropBear II ... for some reason DropBear Server II doesn't install scp & ssh binaries, you can get them from github and symlink it into system. Here's what I did...
DropBear archive (1M): https://www.dropbox.com/s/h2guipuvdltiden/dropbearii.zip
Feel free to mirror that if you want.
These directions allow you to ssh into the system as root, be very careful. I recommend not leaving the service running if you are not using it.
I take no responsibility if you brick your unit while mucking around as root.
Back Up
Download dropbearii.zip and unzip on your local file system.
From your local filesystem install the APK and push scp & ssh to tmp.
Code:
adb install DropBearServer2.1.apk
adb push scp /data/local/tmp/scp
adb push ssh /data/local/tmp/ssh
From the OUYA GUI install the DropBearServerII service... Select Make -> Software -> DropBearServer II -> Install
Shell into your OUYA and make /system writable.
Code:
adb shell
su
mount -o rw,remount -t ext4 /dev/block/platform/sdhci-tegra.3/by-name/APP
Move scp & ssh into DropBear II directory
Code:
mv /data/local/tmp/scp /data/data/me.shkschneider.dropbearserver2/app_data/
mv /data/local/tmp/ssh /data/data/me.shkschneider.dropbearserver2/app_data/
Change the permissions
Code:
chmod 6555 /data/data/me.shkschneider.dropbearserver2/app_data/scp
chmod 6555 /data/data/me.shkschneider.dropbearserver2/app_data/ssh
Create the symlinks
Code:
cd /system/bin/
ln -s /data/data/me.shkschneider.dropbearserver2/app_data/scp ./scp
ln -s /data/data/me.shkschneider.dropbearserver2/app_data/ssh ./ssh
Change /system back to read-only (optional) and exit.
Code:
mount -o ro,remount -t ext4 /dev/block/platform/sdhci-tegra.3/by-name/APP
exit
exit
Reboot the OUYA (optional)
Code:
adb reboot
Notes/testing
Windows users can use Putty to ssh & scp get them here.
To ssh into the system:
Code:
ssh [email protected]_ADDRESS
To scp a file to the sdcard:
Code:
scp ./some_file [email protected]_ADDRESS:/sdcard/
To get to settings push the U circle button one time.
If you turn on "Start on boot" in the settings menu and reboot, the service will be turned off. Though it will be left on in the standard standby mode.
I recommend using pubkey rather than password. Basically generate a public key and push it into /sdcard/ then install it from the DropBear II app.
Unix Hosts can do:
Code:
ssh-keygen -t rsa
Windows using PuttySSH follow these directions, I haven't tested them though.
If you don't want to be bothered with pubkey, please change the default password it is set to 42.
If you already know about pubkey, you can cat them into: /data/data/me.shkschneider.dropbearserver2/app_data/authorized_keys
Unchecking "Allow Password" doesn't work properly.
Why would I want to do this? I didn't really like the Wireless ADB disappearing after the OTA upgrade, this may be less annoying if the next OTA doesn't nuke it.

I'm getting an error that busybox is not installed when trying to start the service. Is there anything special you had to do with busybox to get this to run? I installed it via the apk.
Edit: Nevermind. I didn't realize the busybox apk was an installer and I didn't find the icon when I looked. Just checked again and found the busybox installer icon and did a smart install. Dropbear ssh is running now.

I ran it manually with
Code:
dropbear -E -s -P /data/dropbear/dropbear.pid -r /data/dropbear/dropbear_rsa_host_key -d /data/dropbear/dropbear_dss_host_key
and it looks ok when idling but when connection it gives me
Aiee, segfault! You should probably report this as a bug to the developer

This could be CM10.1 environment issues (libc). The built-in SSHd doesn't work properly as well. Some binaries give strange errors when executed with SSHd (like sqlite3).

I can't install the DropBearServer II from the Make option, comes up with "operation failed". Tried to make the system rw to see if that might have been the problem but still no luck. Anyone else had that problem?

I installed it via adb.
For others I was able to install using IncognitoMan's -=StockPlus=- ROM -- http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2347214
You may need busybox installed, I'm not 100% sure, I haven't tried without busybox.

You can also get static binaries from dropbear or ssh server apks in playstore by simply unpacking the apk.
