problem rooting my device - Click Android Development

Not sure if this is the correct category, but here goes my problem:
I'm following the instructions on wiki.cyanogenmod.com/index.php?title=HTC_Tattoo:_Full_Update_Guide
And now I am stuck at step 7 under Rooting the HTC Tattoo.
The first problem occurs after entering exit:
This line appears repeatedly
usage: reboot [-n] [-p] [rebootcommand]
So I had to close down the command window and start it again. And the next problem appears after entering this line:
while 'true' ; do ./m7 ; done
Same thing again, I have to close the command window and start again. After entering adb shell again I try with entering chown root.root su as it says and this line appear:
chown root.root su
Unable to chmod su: Operation not permitted
Does anyone know what to do from here?

There is a problem with the update guide. Dont follow it, I reported this problem long back in the CyanogenMod forums, but no one corrected it.
Get the 1-click root method with clockworkmod 3.0.0.5 by nTenisOT, its the best rooting option. It also installs clockworkmod recovery.
Also, you could try Universal Androot, but if u root with this, you need to insert the tattoo-hack.ko module before flashing custom recovery manually.

[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!
Sent from Motorola Atrix on TELUS.
My phone is working perfectly, so why not ruin it?
I'm giving this a try right now!
1.4.57 - Rooted and gingerblurred with HDMI Mirroring and Webtop hack.
I'll update as progress goes along:

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.

[ROOT][HOW-TO]Working Root Method for ICS 4.0.4

** Update ****************
************************
Posted a .zip with scripts for both Windows and *nix users to automate the process.
Linux:
-----
Unzip the contents of the attached ICS404root.zip anywhere on your computer and run the script aptly named "runme_root_script.sh". It should take care of the rest. Make sure you have USB Debugging enabled and you put the phone in Camera mode, not mass storage device.
Windows:
---------
Unzip ICS404root.zip wherever you want and then run "rootscript.bat". Make sure you have USB Debugging enabled and you put the phone in Camera mode, not mass storage device.
*************************
*************************
Credit to miloj for finding this technique on the Transformer. (See the thread noted below and be sure to thank him!) I modified it to work on our devices.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1704209
I'll put together a script to automate this process shortly, but if you're antsy like me, here's the lowdown:
1. Download the following files:
su: http://db.tt/ShPzea6I
debugfs: http://db.tt/bGFh43LZ
2. Save the two files downloaded above on /sdcard. (ie: mount your sdcard in windows and copy them over, or "adb push" them to /sdcard).
**Make sure you have your phone on Mount Camera mode, not as a mass storage device; otherwise, you won't be able to access your /sdcard directory via adb. **
3. In a linux terminal/Windows command prompt:
Code:
adb shell
[email protected]_maserati:/ $ cd /sdcard
[email protected]_maserati:/ $ cp su /data/local/12m/
[email protected]_maserati:/ $ cp debugfs /data/local/12m/
[email protected]_maserati:/ $ cd /data/local/12m
[email protected]_maserati:/ $ chmod 755 debugfs
[email protected]_maserati:/ $ chmod 755 su
[email protected]_maserati:/ $ mv batch batch.bak
[email protected]_maserati:/ $ ln -s /dev/block/mmcblk1p20 batch
[email protected]_maserati:/ $ exit
adb reboot
4. While you are waiting for the phone to reboot, type the following into your terminal/command window:
Code:
adb wait-for-device shell
5. Once you're back into the android shell:
Code:
[email protected]_maserati:/ $ cd /data/local/12m
[email protected]_maserati:/ $ rm batch
[email protected]_maserati:/ $ mv batch.bak batch
[email protected]_maserati:/ $ /data/local/12m/debugfs -w /dev/block/mmcblk1p20
(The following is entered at the "debugfs:" prompt)
debugfs: # cd xbin
debugfs: # write /data/local/12m/su su
debugfs: # set_inode_field su mode 0104755
debugfs: # set_inode_field su uid 0
debugfs: # set_inode_field su gid 0
debugfs: # quit
[email protected]_maserati:/ $ cd /data/local/12m
[email protected]_maserati:/ $ rm su
[email protected]_maserati:/ $ rm debugfs
[email protected]_maserati:/ $ exit
adb reboot
Done deal. Now you've got the "su" binary pushed to your /system partition and set with the proper permissions for execution. Download the Superuser app from the market and you're good to go. Make sure you update the su binary within the Superuser app as well to make sure you're up to date.
Awesome! Were you able to upgrade to the latest leak and not lose root? Btw, what carrier are you on? I figured out how to get tethering fully functional on rogers but the process requires root...
Sent from my XT894 running ICS
You bet. I had to fastboot the leaked .208 update over top of the .206 update yesterday because I messed up my /system partition; I had used the OTA Rootkeeper to keep root permissions when upgrading from .219 but had foolishly disabled it right before I bungled everything up.
So to sum it up, this method didn't require anything to be done before updating to the .208 leak; since it has nothing to do with the technical details of the kernel itself, I'm fairly certain it should work for the .200 or .206 leaks as well. Root permissions were obtained from a completely stock system.
I'm in Canada with Bell but it doesn't matter because I imported the phone from the US; Verizon is the only carrier that has this phone. At any rate, this method is pretty universal, it is preying on a vulnerability present in the stock init.rc file and I bet it would work on other phones such as the RAZR as well.
So we can confirm this is 100% working with Fastbooting back and moving to 208? If so I will probably jump on this immediately.
I am trying to do this method but I cant adb to detect my phone. Im on the .208 leak. Can anybody help?

I'm having the same issue. I'm on the 208 leak. I start command prompt in windows then type "adb shell" and I get the "device not found" message. I enabled usb debugging and my phone is connected as mass storage.
Likewise, Reboot requires su access, manual only. When I go and run the write command in debugfs permission denied. Any ideas what would cause this? Based on the code shown in the first post, SU had been already acquired(# vs $), which makes me wonder here.

Looks like you're doing something wrong with the debugfs command; you don't want to enter /data/local/12m/su at that prompt.
Running su from any partition other than /system will lead to a permissions error, so you don't want to bother trying to execute it from the /data/local/12m location.
(The following is entered at the "debugfs:" prompt, ie: after executing /data/local/12m/debugfs -w /dev/block/mmcblk1p20; see step 5.)
Code:
debugfs: # cd xbin
debugfs: # write /data/local/12m/su su
debugfs: # set_inode_field su mode 0104755
debugfs: # set_inode_field su uid 0
debugfs: # set_inode_field su gid 0
debugfs: # quit

Rick, that's what we're putting in. From the code you posted it shows that you had root access already. Do you have any other suggestions on this? Because that's the in and out I get.

Problem resolved. Need to run the following code:

chmod 755 su
Then continue with rooting.

Not sure where you're making this assumption from. I just wrote the "#" symbol in there to signal where to start entering commands... though I suppose you're correct in pointing out that the "#" shows up on a root prompt. A smarter choice probably would have been "$".
Trust me, I'm not an idiot. I wouldn't have gone through the hassle of writing up the guide in the first post if it didn't work.
Didn't mean it that way, just looked like it already had root, which was what confused me. But thanks again for this. :-D
Tried it again. This time no errors and the phone rebooted. But now Superuser keeps on FC .
Reinstalled superuser, updated and busybox. Now rooted! Thnx.
BTW, you might wanna update the OP. Do not batch the commands under windows. I tried several times. I think there is something wrong with the timing. Manually entering all the commands in a shell works. But putting them in a batch will enter them too fast for ADB to handle (under Windows shell) I guess.

I don't know, it seemed to work fine for me with the script I made. Anyways, glad it worked out for you.
Now that we can re-root as well as (somewhat convolutedly) fastboot ourselves back on track, we're good to go.

As stated in the guide, you need to be in camera mode not mass storage.
Sent from my DROID4 using XDA
I was trying to do it manually last night before the OP posted the batch file, and it was not working because I was in MTP instead of PTP. SO make sure you use PTP.
Put your phone in camera (PTP) mode for the USB connection and it should work fine. Also, after it completes, download Superuser from the market.
I ran Titanium Backup after everything and it told me it needed to fix my su binary permissions or something like that... I let it do its thing... Either way, IT WORKED!!!!!
I put it in camera mode and made sure usb debugging is enabled. Then I ran the script for windows. Still getting the device not found error throughout. Really don't know what's going on.

[Q] Rooting problems regarding permission

Hi, I'm a newbie to android rooting and have spent the whole day trying to root my Kindle Fire HD v7.2.3.
I've used the bin4ry RunMe.bat and RootQemu.bat. I have no problems with the Qemu part but as for the RunMe.bat part I get permission problems (see picture below)
http://www.freeimagehosting.net/ikz64
The device gets rooted but the super user is no where to be seen. Therefore I can access root files but I can't write as it is read only.
I've already tried this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2086210 (fixing a bug)
I've also tried the basics of rebooting after rooting, run as admin, locate through cmd but nothing has worked for me so far.
Anyone know what the problem is?
I was having a similar permission denied error when rooting 7.2.3. Try this and see if it helps. These commands are pulled from the Qemu script.
Code:
adb shell mv /data/local/tmp /data/local/tmp.bak
adb shell ln -s /data /data/local/tmp
adb reboot
Wait for the device to reboot then run these.
Code:
adb shell rm /data/local.prop
adb shell "echo ro.kernel.qemu=1 > /data/local.prop"
reboot
Now wait for the device to reboot then check if the Qemu root hack worked correctly by connecting to your device with adb shell. You should see a root prompt.
Code:
$ adb shell
[email protected]:/ #
If you see a root prompt then re-run the RunMe.bat script and it should complete without error. The reason for your permission denied error is the script is not running as root.

[Q] Mac Toolkit help please

I'm on the last step of mjphillips1981's mac toolkit for 4.4 rooting and it won't finish:
Code:
Press ENTER to finish the SlapMyMoto process.
Open a new terminal window by pressing Command+N
In the new terminal window type the following command
./adb shell echo "/data/local/tmp/install.sh" > /sys/kernel/uevent_helper
Press ENTER when you have finished the above command
I keep getting the error:
Code:
-bash: /sys/kernel/uevent_helper: No such file or directory
I've been at this all day
try this
open terminal
cd to the toolkit folder
type the following (one line at a time)
./adb shell
echo "/data/local/tmp/install.sh" > /sys/kernel/uevent_helper
I think these lines need to be separated.
Hit me up on Google+ and lets see if we can work through this.
An I would suggest that you put questions in the toolkit thread. I was just browsing and noticed this. If you put the question in the thread I get an email.

I'm on the last step of mjphillips1981's mac toolkit for 4.4 rooting and it won't finish:
Code:
Press ENTER to finish the SlapMyMoto process.
Open a new terminal window by pressing Command+N
In the new terminal window type the following command
./adb shell echo "/data/local/tmp/install.sh" > /sys/kernel/uevent_helper
Press ENTER when you have finished the above command
I keep getting the error:
Code:

missed some commands it looks like but im not sure if anything is diffrent because your on a mac
but here is the step by step from jcase's thread
Step1)
Unzip SlapMyMoto-1,0.zip and push the jar file to your internal storage
Code:
adb push SlapMyMoto.jar /sdcard/SlapMyMoto.jar
Step2)
Use http://www.cydiaimpactor.com/ to open up a telnet session as system user on port 2222. We covered how to use Impactor and telnet in the RockMyMoto root, I won't be covering it again since this post is going to be long enough already, see here -> http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=2509590 or http://rootzwiki.com/topic/107098-ro...the-first-ota/
Connecting over telnet, and run Stage1 with this command:
Code:
dalvikvm -cp /sdcard/SlapMyMoto.jar SlapMyMoto
When the device tells you to reboot, do this manually with "adb reboot" or your power button. It will not auto reboot on this step
Step3)
Once the device has rebooted, run Impactor again and connect over telnet just like in the previous step, then run the same command
Code:
dalvikvm -cp /sdcard/SlapMyMoto.jar SlapMyMoto
Once the device has rebooted, please take the 4.4 OTA.
Step4)
Now that we are on 4.4, we can finish the process with adb shell:
Code:
adb shell
cp /sdcard/install.sh /data/local/tmp/install.sh
chmod 755 /data/local/tmp/install.sh
echo "/data/local/tmp/install.sh" > /sys/kernel/uevent_helper

These commands are all in the toolkit. The only one that needed to be enter on individual lines is the one he listed.
I just wish he would have posted the question in the Toolkit thread so I could have helped earlier.

Thanks, I think this did it. The only thing is that I had to manually reboot my phone, but it appears I am rooted as I'm able to run root-only apps. XDA wouldn't let me post on your thread because I don't have the required number of posts. Glad you came across this thread! Thanks again

You're welcome! From what I read. Some people do experience that the phone does not reboot on its own.
Glad you got it working.
I just removed the toolkit. It's too hard to for me to get things working correctly when I do not have a consumer device to test with.

[guide]rooting lg leon!

** DISCLAIMER: I AM NOT A DEVELOPER. I DO THIS AS A HOBBY AND SHARE MY FINDINGS IN CASE SOMEONE ELSE FINDS THEM USEFUL. **
** THIS WORKED ON MY DEVICE BUT IT MAY NOT WORK ON YOURS. APPLY AT YOUR OWN RISK **
This has been tested with the LG LEON V10c-EUR-XX
This procedure removes Kingroot , installs superSU ,root binaries and busybox on your system.
Rootable Versions: V10a , V10b , V10c , V10g
Non-root Versions: , V10e
I'm not sure yet about V10d , in some people is working and some not. I think if you use latest kingroot version will work.
Non tested: V10f
If you want to downgrade follow this GUIDE!
Requirements
Make sure your PC can communicate with our LG Leon via adb.
Driver Pack for LG Leon ( Link can be found on #2 Post!)
The success of this method depends on following the procedure very carefully. So read the instructions and make sure you understand every step before you try it.
Procedure
1- Install and run Kingroot 4.0. You can google and download it or you can use the one in the attached zip file. When Kingroot runs it is all in Chinese, but basically you need to be connected to the internet for it to work. It will do its thing and show progress up to 100% after which you can exit the program. Now your phone is rooted. The following steps replaces the Kinguser with SuperSU.
2- Unzip the attached file in your adb directory and then open an adb terminal and make sure the PC can see your phone (you can check that by typing adb devices). Then type the following:
Code:
adb push su /data/local/tmp
adb push busybox /data/local/tmp
adb shell
3- In the shell that you get type the following and make sure you give the permission when the phone prompts you:
Code:
su
4- Continue by typing the following commands:
Code:
mount -o remount,rw /system
cat /data/local/tmp/su >/system/xbin/daemonsu && chmod 0755 /system/xbin/daemonsu
cat /data/local/tmp/busybox >/system/xbin/busybox && chmod 0755 /system/xbin/busybox
daemonsu -d &
The key is to keep this session running while you continue with the rest, so be careful with typos and monitor this window for any errors.
5- At this point, leave the adb terminal window running and go to your phone, open the Kinguser app, open settings (the wheel at the top right corner of the screen), Root authorization setting, and Remove Root permission. The app will self-uninstall.
6- Uninstall the other two Kingroot programs that are still on your phone (KingRoot and the other one with the blue icon and Chinese text under it).
7- Back to the adb terminal, and type the following:
Code:
cat /data/local/tmp/su >/system/xbin/su && chmod 0755 /system/xbin/su
busybox chattr -ia /system/xbin/ku.sud
busybox chattr -ia /system/xbin/supolicy
rm /system/xbin/ku.sud
rm /system/xbin/supolicy
rm /system/bin/rt.sh
rm /system/bin/install-recovery.sh
rm /system/bin/shipclean
rm /system/bin/start-ssh
busybox chattr -ia /system/etc/install-recovery.sh
busybox chattr -ia /system/etc/install-recovery.sh-ku.bak
rm /system/etc/install-recovery.sh
rm /system/etc/install-recovery.sh-ku.bak
rm /system/etc/install_recovery.sh
rm /system/usr/icu/icusuflag.conf
busybox chattr -ia /system/usr/iku/isu
rm -rf /system/usr/iku
rm /system/kroot_*
rm /sdcard/kr-stock-conf
rm -rf /sdcard/Kingroot
rm -rf /data/data-lib/com.kingroot.RushRoot
rm -rf /data/data-lib/com.kingroot.kinguser
rm -rf /data/data-lib/king
Again, leave the adb terminal window running and go to your phone.
8- Install superSU (from the attached file) on your phone, run it, and let it update the SU binary.
9- Reboot the phone. After about 5 minutes your root is ready.
Downloads + Troubleshooting stuff will be in the 2nd post!
Troubleshooting & Downloading
Troubleshooting
1- Most of the problems that I noticed people have encountered is due to not reading the instructions fully. So make sure you read the OP word by word.
2- If you miss a step or mess up something go back to installing Kingroot and start over from the beginning.
3- Finally, I noticed that with an AT&T sim card in the phone Kingroot fails (why am I not surprised?) Either a reboot occurs in the middle of rooting or it completes the cycle without accomplishing root. If that occurs, my best advice is to change your phone company. If that fails, you may need to factory reset your phone or even install the firmware from scratch and try again without the sim card.

I don't know nothing about your version. It should work but still don't know why. Anyway if your country have more Firmwares try downgrading.
If still doesn't work use this http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g3/general/guide-root-method-lg-devices-t3129197 maybe it will solve your problem.
