[Q] Rooting TELUS Optimus Black - LG Optimus Black

Anyone figured out how to do it? I've tried following the guides with no success (gingerbreak). Model is P970g and software is 10a. Country code is TLS.
Anyone have a Telus OB and been able to root it? How did you do it?

I've rooted a couple of them, both 10a on Telus, one of them was pretty easy using z4root. Another one wouldn't work with z4root, latest superoneclick, gingerbreak or manually using adb shell to gingerbreak, rageaggainstthecage & psneuter. I did finally get the stubborn one to root wither an older superoneclick; version 1.6.5. Attached it below as it doesn't seem available in CLShortFuse's thread anymore.
Goodluck

I tried both z4 and the superoneclick you suggested to no avail.
Do you think it's safe to try flashing another vulnerable rom? 10b or 10c? I'm worried the basebands may be different and the phone will have no voice/data connection.
Running out of ideas.

Attempted to root another one, same model, same version and none of the previous methods worked, was able to root this one as well using a combination of SOC 2.1.1 and the attached ADB Shell.
1. Download and run SuperOneClick 2.1.1, choose psneuter and click Shell Root
2. It should get stuck on step #4, run task manager, end superoneclick and terminate any adb.exe processes. (You should have Shell Root now)
3. Extract ADB.zip and open a command prompt to where you extracted it.
4. Enter the following commands
Code:
adb push su /tmp/
adb push Superuser.apk /tmp/
adb shell
mount -o rw,remount -t ext3 /dev/block/mmcblk0p8 /system
cat /tmp/su > /system/bin/su
cat /tmp/superuser.apk > /system/app/Superuser.apk
chown root.root /system/bin/su
chmod 06755 /system/bin/su
chown root.root /system/app/Superuser.apk
chmod 0644 /system/app/Superuser.apk
reboot
The permissions on /system/bin/su didn't stick the first time for me, and the phone rebooted a couple times, but eventually it all went through. To verify permissions on su, type "adb shell", then "ls -l /system/bin/su". The permission should read -rwsr-sr-x, if it doesn't repeat the shell root process and type
Code:
adb shell
mount -o rw,remount -t ext3 /dev/block/mmcblk0p8 /system
chmod 06755 /system/bin/su
ls -l /system/bin/su

Ok, i've figured out what the problem is. As soon as the adb process from SOC is shut down, the phone soft reboots and I lose temporary root. I've tried the psneuter exploit in the same adb command shell, but it hangs just like SOC. I've tried to be "quick" and get the commands in before the reboot, but it isn't possible.
Suggestions on how I may bypass that? Otherwise i'll wait for the official 2.3 update in september and try again then.

One of the phones I tried it on, did the same thing, ended the adb process and phone would reboot, pushed a file, phone would reboot, set permissions, phone would reboot. Occasionally the phone would appear to hang, buttons flash at the bottom for awhile, phone becomes unresponsive. Just wait a minute or 2 and it should return to normal. I also tried creating a script to do all of the above before the device had time to reboot and it didn't help.
Persistence was the key.

Did you try that ? If following the instructions don't work for you, I let you know how it works for me.

[Q] stuck rooted HELP! Nexus One

I was using Universal Androot on stock 2.2. The 2.2.1 OTA came through and after ignoring it for a few days, I accidently installed it. Now I can't unroot with Universal Androot, keeps saying "Failed! You still have the power, my lord.." Now things like AdFree say unable to get root access, and the SuperOneClick won't get past "waiting for device..."
Any way to fix this without completely wiping the phone?

Yes. Searching the forums for the various ways how to root 2.2.1
The problem is that it already says that I am rooted. But any app that requires root says that I'm not. I think it might have to do with being rooted with androot while the update happened. I want to try to avoid factory resetting the phone if possible.

I have done both the rageagainstthecage to see how hard it would be but if you follow step by step, you'd be fine. I have also upgraded to 2.2.1 and tried SOC and that works as well. After I used SOC, I reverted back to 2.2 and loaded Rod's Rom again. I was curious
What is SOC and how did you get back to 2.2?

Z4root no sup user app??

Hello everyone, I have been tring to root my phone for two day. I tried the z4root and it gets to rebooting and just stops, it finally reboots when I press the home button but it never installs super user app. I went to unlocker and tried androot, nothing. At the end of superone-click short fuse it failed the test for su permissions but installed superuser but it wouldnt do anything. Please help me root this phone. I have an Alltel phone. Kernel ver. 2.6.29-bc0d2cff firmware ver. 2.1-update 1 baseband ver. 2.42.01.04.23 if you need more info just pm me.
Thanks
I have never used these one click methods, but, if it actually roots it, just download super user from the market? Or just use one of the rooting methods found in the Development section (yes, you will have to read a short list of instructions).
I used z4 and it got stuck like you said, i clicked home and for me superuser was there.
but since not try rebooting and if its not there then, download android terminal emulator.. type su then press enter. if you see a # then youre rooted, so go just download superuser from the market and you should be solid
Try super one click. It installs superuser when it installs root files.

Root instructions...

If you followed the directions exactly on a version 4 phone, this should work no problem.

Links to the necessary files are listed at the bottom.
Remember, I am not at fault if you brick your phone, now, proceed.
Connect your phone in charge only mode to install the LG Bootstrapper and drivers, or grab the LG Universal Drivers.
Change your USB Mode to Internet Connection
Go into Settings/Applications/Development and ensure USB Debugging is turned on
If all goes according to plan, you should see the ADB Ladybug icon in your notification bar
I updated the Rootzwiki page with the same info found below.
Busybox actually comes installed by LG on the Revo, how awesome is that??
Download the rageagainstthecage binary
Download the SU binary
Move these files to the same directory your adb.exe is in.
Code:
The > and # characters below illustrate the prompt
you should have, if you have the $ when you go into adb shell,
exit out and type 'adb usb' then go back into adb shell and
you should see the #
Open Command prompt (either use the Windows Key+R and type cmd or start/run, then type cmd)
32-bit users: >cd c:\program files\android\android-sdk\platform-tools
64-bit users: >cd c:\program files (x86)\android\android-sdk\platform-tools
Or >cd (whatever directory adb is in)
>adb devices (verifies you are connected)
>adb push rageagainstthecage-arm5.bin /data/local/temp/rage
(if the above command fails due to read-only, type 'adb usb' then 'adb root' to validate root status, then 'adb devices' again to verify connection)
>adb push su /data/local/temp/su
>adb shell chmod 777 /data/local/temp/rage
>adb shell ./data/local/temp/rage
>adb shell (If this gives you a $ prompt instead of a # prompt, type 'su', if that fails, 'exit', 'adb usb' like above.)
#mount -o remount,rw -t ext3 /dev/mmcblk0p12 /system
#busybox cp /data/local/temp/su /system/bin/su
#chmod 6755 /system/bin/su
Verify the file is in place w/correct permissions
#cd /system/bin
#ls -l *su
After the ls command you should see the following returned by the system:
-rwsr-sr-x root root 26248 2011-05-29 01:09 su
At this point, you may way to remove the files you put in /data/local/temp (optional):
#rm /data/local/temp/su
#rm /data/local/temp/rage
continue with commands
#reboot
Download and install SuperUser from the Market

Just a note for some. The rageagainstthecage bin file may be detected as a virus/trojan. It is not. You may want to disable your antivirus before downloading the .bin file.
I run avira on my desktop and it caught the file as a virus everytime I downloaded it and then deleted it. Avast on my laptop however did not.
Root is simple if you follow the instructions. You need to make sure that adb recognizes your device. Takes 5 minutes to complete, took me longer to install adb again and update it.

Hey guys, either using S1C or ADB Commands, have we found out if it's possible to unroot this as long as you Nand Backup the stock rom then unroot from there yet? Just because I got this phone as a filler/4g unl. lock and got buyback on it from best buy so I could buy a dual/quad later on when they come out .

Doing a factory reset I believe will unroot you. There is no nand back up at this time. We are waiting for a recovery mod.

Oh ya I know, I just always keep a stock one, on the Inc if you factory reset from an AOSP rom, you'd bootloop, so you had to make sure you were on a Sense 1.0 or stock rom(from my experience), so I was just making sure it was no big deal to go back.
Any idea when we will have cw on this?

If you have to return your device, simply remove the superuser app, after you unfreeze anything you may have frozen then factory reset. They honestly will never know it was rooted. The only way now that you can really tell is the super user app from market.
Just so everyone knows. SuperOneClick can root and unroot this phone ok.

No No, I was saying we need to praise Koush's good work so he will make one faster .
And Stetsonaw, any idea if I root through ADB, can I unroot with S1C, since it uses the same idea.
S1C for whatever reason will not run(tried three computers, a XP, Vista, and Win7 lol), it keeps freezing at the same spot, everytime.
Should be able to, since S1C does what the ADB method does... or you could just delete the 'su' file out of /system/bin and /system/xbin (if it's there) to unroot.
EDIT: I couldn't get S1C to open on my desktop, and my laptop, which would open the program, would bluescreen when i connected the phone, so i had no choice but to do it the ADB way.

Hmmm, ya now my computer for whatever reason won't open up ADB through command. This is getting irritating lol. Should be nice and simple, but it just won't go through. If I downloaded the SDK Manager like 4 months ago, it shouldn't matter, correct?
make sure you change directory to wherever your adb.exe is located... as in:

Can you be more specifically on those files? Where to download and how exactly did you go about running those files?
Do I need the SDK for rooting it?
THIS WORKS ON WINDOWS, OSX, AND LINUX
once you type in adb shell then type dosu instead of su and see if that helps
I get an error at the last part when I put it in cmd
Whenever I type in 'su', I get permission denied - and dosu doesn't work either.

[Q] Lost Root After Jelly Bean OTA Update

Ok, I don't think I'm the only one out there that lost root after the JB OTA update today... Anybody else? I was using Voodoo OTA RootKeeper and everything.... Crap... Any news on an exploit yet?
Lost root too. Rootkeeper didn't do it's job. Now just waiting for a solution.
Not sure how useful but someone on the main JB update thread mentioned they were able to restore with a few adb commands. Apparently for some OTA keeps root but doesn't reinstall it correctly with the button and a few adb's will regain it. FWIW.
Odd, mine kept root without an issue. I'm curious why it's different for some.
Mine kept it but I did the full download and booted to stock recovery and did flash update.zip. then restored root

have you try the razr-blade exploit?
Updated SU with stock ICS, installed Voodoo, backed up root, flashed JB and restored root. I have SU and voodoo says successful but superuser is not working. Tried, razr-blade, and MotoChopper, both a no-go.
I used Voodoo, Updated to JB, and re-rooted unsuccessfully. I've even tried to go in and restore Su manually and change it's permissions but nothing seems to be working. :/
I lost root, but you can bring it back! NOTE: This will ONLY work if you backed up root with Voodoo OTA RootKeeper prior to updating to Jelly Bean!!!
Make sure you have android debugging enabled and mount it as a media device.
Follow these instructions: (copied from another site)
1) Download the unsure su from here and put it somewhere on your C Drive. It will be used in the following push step (Assuming windows) (This is a WIDE OPEN su without any controls). (sparky root i believe?)
https://www.dropbox.com/sh/jcpilpgoeta516e/tCB-Ep-3YQ
2) start a CMD window and logon to adb (type "adb shell" without the quotes to log on)
3) su -
4) verify you have root:
id
uid=0(root) gid=0(root)........
If you don't you can try these instead of 'su':
"/system/su-backup" or "/system/su_backup"
5) remount system as RW:
mount -o remount,rw /dev/block/mmcblk0p1 /system
6) make a backup of current su just in case in adb
cat /system/bin/su > /system/bin/su1
7) open a new CMD window and push the su binary from step 1 to the sdcard using the path from where ever you put it.
adb push c:\<some path>\su /sdcard/
8) Then copy it to /system/bin from the adb session where you su'd.
cat /sdcard/su > /system/bin/su
9) Change permissions for SU
chmod 6755 /system/bin/su
10) download superuser (NOT SUPERSU) from play store if you do not have it already.
11) have superuser upgrade the su binary. It may fail to remount system as RO. Just rerun the update in superuser and it will work the 2nd time. You don't need to remount system as RO manually since superuser update of SU will do that for you.
12) congrats. your now rerooted.
13) remove the backup after you know your OKAY.
mount -o remount,rw /dev/block/mmcblk0p1 /system
rm /system/bin/su1
mount -o remount,ro /dev/block/mmcblk0p1 /system
Hope this helps you guys!

2) start a CMD window and logon to adb
3) su -
4) verify you have root:
id
uid=0(root) gid=0(root)........
If you don't you can try these instead of 'su':
"/system/su-backup" or "/system/su_backup"
5) remount system as RW:
mount -o remount,rw /dev/block/mmcblk0p1 /system
6) make a backup of current su just in case in adb
cat /system/bin/su > /system/bin/su1
7) open a new CMD window and push the su binary from step 1 to the sdcard using the path from where ever you put it.
adb push c:\<some path>\su /sdcard/
8) Then copy it to /system/bin from the adb session where you su'd.
cat /sdcard/su > /system/bin/su
9) Change permissions for SU
chmod 6755 /system/bin/su
10) download superuser (NOT SUPERSU) from play store if you do not have it already.
11) have superuser upgrade the su binary. It may fail to remount system as RO. Just rerun the update in superuser and it will work the 2nd time. You don't need to remount system as RO manually since superuser update of SU will do that for you.
12) congrats. your now rerooted.
13) remove the backup after you know your OKAY.
mount -o remount,rw /dev/block/mmcblk0p1 /system
rm /system/bin/su1
mount -o remount,ro /dev/block/mmcblk0p1 /system
Hope this helps you guys!

I am stuck at steps 3 and 4, it does not seem to be working for me. I am not getting root through adb.
