Failure of Pete's root on XT860 (Milestone 3) - Motorola Droid 3

Pete's root tool is said to have worked on the xt860 (hxxp://androidforums.com/milestone-3-all-things-root/425846-milestone-3-xt860-root-recovery.html) in the past.
It's failed in my case, running the script (v7d) on OS X, on XT860 with the update installed (so 5.2.476.XT860.BellMobility.en.CA):
* Running exploit [part 2 of 3]...
failed on '/data/local.prop' - Permission denied
cannot create /data/local.prop: permission denied
cannot create /data/local.prop: permission denied
cannot create /data/local.prop: permission denied

cannot create /data/local.prop: permission denied
cannot create /data/local.prop: permission denied
cannot create /data/local.prop: permission denied
cannot create /data/local.prop: permission denied
I have added -xv to the shebang and the script line that fails is:
$adb shell mv /data/local.prop /data/local.prop.bak

(I'm not an android expert but I know my way around linux and OSX.)
I did some debugging using bashdb and adb. In the original exploit (hxxp://vulnfactory.org/blog/2011/08/25/rooting-the-droid-3/) the system would
chown mot_tcmd shell /data/local/12m
during startup and so the script would symlink /data/local/12m to /data causing the system to set favorable permissions on /data. It seems that this is not happening on my device. I also modified the script to see if /data/local/tmp was being chown'd on startup and it also failed.
Possibly this exploit is no longer valid on XT860 with the update installed.

Have you tried zergrush?

The Droid 4 exploit should work http://vulnfactory.org/blog/2012/02/11/rooting-the-droid-4-a-failed-bounty-experiment/

Try zergrush?

Indeed, the exploit that was used originally was patched with updates so Pete's doesn't work with updated d3's. Once you get it rooted you could try installing OTA Rootkeeper so you will hopefully keep root after any future over-the-air upgrades

sbwoodside: Confirmed - I just successfully rooted my XT860 (running stock bell 2.3.6) using SuperOneClick 2.3.3 on auto (it selected the zergrush exploit automatically). Try it out

Thanks everyone, I was able to root using zergRush with the Mac OS shell script. Yummy.

There must be another exploit in the package - try it (in my case psneuter was killed by AV guard immediately after unzipping package, so I had to use a second one).

Well i dont the piece with me anymore so i cant test but just need to know, do i have to unlock the bootloader if i want to flash stock rom with ODIN?
May sound crazy but I thought my root didn't take using one click. No apps that require root would work. All I did was reboot my tab and everything was fine. Took me a few hrs but a simple reboot did the trick.

Need help with rooting

Hello.
I am having trouble rooting my LG P990.
Android 2.2.2
Kernel 2.6.32.9
Build FRG83G
LGE Version LGP990-V10b
I have tried SuperOneClick 1.7 and the latest version (1.9.1).
Failed after trying to install Busybox.
I have also tried Z4root 1.3
I have also tried the method explained on Cyanogenmod Wiki
http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/index.php?title=LG_Optimus_2X:_Rooting
and have gotten stuck at the command
/data/local/busybox cp /data/local/su /system/xbin/su
I am returned this error:
can't stat '/system/xbin/su': Not a directory
So yes. I have checked other threads. Does anyone have any good ideas on what I should do next to get this phone "permanently" rooted?

Try installing Pauls clockwork. No preroot required, it uses psneuter to create root. After that push busybox and superuser.

SuperOneClick also uses the psneuter exploit, so if one works, they all should.
I use SOC v1.9.1 yesterday on my phone (as I briefly reverted to stock for some testing), and it worked first time.

Well, have you tried installing busybox any other way? If you are not comfortable with adb, i think you can install busybox from titanium and see if titanium gets root at the same time ...

AIO ZV 8 rooter/CVM NOT WORKING.

I've followed EVERY GAWDAMN suggestion/guide/direction listed, and ZV8 refused to root/CWM for me.
Here's what the AIO says:

Just a note for MT. I wish the process were a bit more visible, as I've had to manually push things with adb before on rooting attempts.
I've spent 3 days trying to get this piece of sh!t rooted, and I'm tired of it.
I've followed EVERY DIRECTION/GUIDE/INSTRUCTION to the T, and still nothing, so a hearty STFU if all you can offer is a "Did you follow the directions?"
On the "Regain Root after update" post there is talk of using a terminal emulator to make the root stick on V8. The only thing that worked for me is the post at the top of page 7 (or 8?) that has about 8 steps. If you haven't already tried it.

Try booting into CWM the old-fashioned way (hold down button and power). When I went through all the steps, everything looked liked it failed and all I had was an unrooted ZV8. Even Root Checker said I was unrooted. But then I tried to manually boot into CWM, and it worked! I flashed the new rom, and superuser came with it! Might as well give it a try. There's the possibility that you end up wiping data if you don't actually have CWM, but it sounds like you don't really care at this point...
I went through 2 days of hell to get root. There are so many things to try but I think the one thing that worked for me was that after you root the stock V7 is to run titanium backup. When I ran it it said it had to change su access or something and then I rebooted and did this in a terminal program
su<enter>
echo 'ro.kernel.qemu=1' > /data/local.prop<enter>
but also made sure by then doing this:
cat /data/local.prop
if you don't see exactly the ro.kernel.qemu=1 redo it. I was surprised that I had it wrong but for some reason the terminal app missed characters sometimes.

I had tried a few different times to get this working, your post below finally got it for me:
"LGNPST to ZV7.
Using AIO 1 LG Revo AIO, Root ZV7 ONLY.
Install "Rom Manager" (thanks to slimzim for this one)
Manually create local.prop as seen elsewhere in a few other versions of this kind of thing.
LGNPST to ZV8.
In a command prompt, 'adb remount'
'adb push su /system/bin/su'
'adb push superuser.apk /system/bin/superuser.apk'
'adb push busybox /system/bin/busybox'
Use AIO 2 to install CWM. It will error on a couple of things, don't panic. (one is an applet failure in the rooting process and the other are rm failures.) DO NOT USE OPTION #1! Only use Option #2!
Reboot.
Use Rom Manager's "Reboot Recovery" option and it boots straight into CWM.
(I had zero success using the hardware (power/down button) to boot into CWM.
Apply Broken Out 1.1
Back up while you're in CWM.
Reboot.
Enjoy ZV8."
The only thing I did differently was OTA to ZV8 rather than LGNPST. Also when I ran option two of AIO 2 I didn't get any errors.
The whole process took right around an hour.
Thanks again!
FYI I would have posted this in the dev section in the Regain Root thread but am lacking the posts to do so.

Are you already on stock ZV7 and rooted? Use Root Explorer and go to /data and create new file, name it local.prop. Open in text editor, enter ro.kernel.qemu=1 then save it. If you can't do that in Root Explorer then you aren't rooted.

[Q] Corrupt SU....

My wife did the OTA upgrade to ICS 4.04 and just mentioned that "root" was no longer working. I checked and she no longer had root access. I tried to root again but it failed. So I was going to manually unroot via ADB(I had to do something similiar for my friends RAZR) when I notied an issue with su. It appears to be corrupt which prevents me from remounting the system as RW. Here is an example of my issue:
C:\>adb shell
[email protected]_maserati:/ $ su
su
/system/bin/sh: su: I/O error

Any help would be greatly appreicated.

I would try using the Droid 4 Utility ICS Only and use the Restore Droid 4 Save Data option. If that does not work, use the Restore Droid 4 Erase Data. If you have to go with erase data, make sure you backup anything you don't want to lose first. That should get rid of SU and then you can just re-root using the same utility.
