[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.

^ escapes batch, \ escapes shell. Hope this helps. If you zip up and send me the whole process in a single .sh file I can wrap it up in CWM for you.

[ROOT] Linux command lines if SuperOneClick fails

Hi.
I've tried many times to root my LG2X with Z4root, UniversalAndRoot, Visionary and SuperOneClick since I've bought it but it failed each time.
I've seen the [Root] topic in the developpement thread but I can't post there (less than 10 posts...) but I want to help someone to root his/her mobile.
I've searched a long time a good way to do so without SuperOneClick (which doesn't respond with Windows Seven or Ubuntu 11.04) but there is none.
There we go...
Disclaimer : I can't be responsible if you break your phone, cancel your warranty or launch your LG2X on the wall in rage.
If you want, there is already SuperOneClick which run smoothly for many geeks : LG2X SuperOneClick Forum and SuperOneClick Forum
My HTC Magic had been rooted with the command line and I've tried myself to do so with every bit of informations and tips I could find on Internet.
I recommand to test the SuperOneClick method and if it fails, come test this with a Linux terminal (psneuter, su-v2, busybox and the SuperUser.apk can be found in the SuperOneClick archive) :
Code:
adb push psneuter /data/local/tmp
adb push su-v2 /data/local/tmp
adb push busybox /data/local/tmp
adb shell
$ busybox chmod +x /data/local/tmp/psneuter
$ /data/local/tmp/psneuter
adb remount
adb shell
# busybox mv /data/local/tmp/su-v2 /system/xbin/su
# busybox chmod 6755 /system/xbin/su
# busybox chown 0.0 /system/xbin/su
# busybox cp /system/xbin/su /system/bin/su
# busybox chown 0.2000 /system/bin/su
# busybox cp /data/local/tmp/busybox /system/xbin
# busybox chmod 0755 /system/xbin/busybox
# busybox chown 0.2000 /system/xbin/busybox
# exit
adb install Superuser.apk
adb reboot
And... Normally you have permanent root on your LG2X.
You can check the files permissions with
Code:
ls -l /system/xbin/su /system/bin/su
-rwsr-sr-x root root 26264 2011-04-23 20:07 su
-rwsr-sr-x root shell 26264 2011-04-23 23:20 su
It seems that /system/xbin/su isn't necessary at all. The su command which gave you the root is the one in /system/bin/. And I had some problems with /system/xbin, I've deleted the folder (with rm /system/xbin or mv /system/xbin /dev/null, I can't recall) and applied mkdir on it again.
If this can be of help, I'll update this later.

thanks for the detailed instructions, but super one click definitely works with win7 (64bit too) as long as you have the right drivers installed

Thanks but with Windows Seven 64 bits, Linux ou Windows Seven 32 bits with Virtualbox I end up with "SuperOneClick doesn't respond" or stuck on with "chmod psneuter" (with the drivers properly installed).
It's only an alternative solution if SuperOneClick doesn't run properly for another guy.

Thanks a lot for that tips.
The problem I have now is that su isn't persistant.
When I use
$ su
It hangs up few seconds... and says "Permission denied"
I've used su-v2
Here are the su permission :
-rwsr-sr-x root shell 26324 2011-02-13 14:43 su
Is there a more up-to-date su, that will maybe fix the problem ?
Thanks.
EDIT :
Ok.
The wait time seems to come from SuperUser, I've removed it.
Now I have directly the "permission denied", and "stat failed with 2: No such file or directory" in the logcat.
Maybe that can help.

[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

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:
Code:
chmod 755 debugfs
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.

Can't figure out the sdb instructions to actually install it?

Yeah I got the same issue here so apologies. I pushed the file to a couple directories and did "root on" then "sdb shell" to make sure but when it goes to install it complains about needing something like 188kb free space (the package is half that).
So yeah obviously a regular sdb install won't work and it seems I don't know which directory to have the package in when I try to install but that's all I got.
Recreation steps:
1) Ran sdb devices until device was listed (had usb debugging enabled on the gear being rooted running the original Gear Tizen release)
2) Ran sdb root on again to be paranoid
3) Ran sdb shell
4) Copied the file in to /home with "sdb push filename /home". Later on I tried the same thing using the Tizen SDK explorer function to a few more directories since that has drag and drop.
5) Ran the install command it has (rpm -i busybox-1.17.1-2.3.armv7l.rpm)
6) Got free space error. Grr'd.
Here's some of my log excluding the first part:
C:\tizen-wearable-sdk\tools>sdb push busybox-1.17.1-2.3.armv7l.rpm /home

sh-3.2# rpm -i busybox-1.17.1-2.3.armv7l.rpm
installing package busybox-1.17.1-2.3.armv7l needs 188KB on the / filesystem

Ok so someone clued me in to the missing mount command and now I can get it installed! But like the article states the only advantage I see immediately is a working VI from sdb shell. There's no icon created in the launcher. The only way I know it's installed is when I run the command it tells me and busybox is in the /bin directory. Now some more adventurous people may Google and find out how to manually install busybox packages so for those let me know if you find anything cool!
Here's the log. This was on the initial Tizen release with the root package installed.

sh-3.2# mount -o remount,rw /
sh-3.2# reboot
Rebooting.
The guy that gave me the said to do this again after. I imagine you might need to do this anytime you try to play around with Busybox if you don't see files listed when you do an "ls -a" or get permission errors:
sdb root on
sdb shell
sdb mount -o remount,rw /
exit
Hope this helps someone.

whoami: bad uid 0

I replaced old /system/bin/toybox with a new binary from http://landley.net/toybox/bin then I created symlinks with for i in $(./toybox); do ln -s toybox $i. There is su in symlinks.
Now I cannot open Magisk anymore, stuck at splash screen mask.
Also MiXplorer cannot browse root dirs.
With Terminal Emulator I can still browse root dirs.
If I type which su I get /sbin/su which is a symlink to /sbin/magisk.
I have not yet tried to reboot because I fear to get stuck, maybe it would repair by itself but who knows?
If I type whoami I get bad uid 0, after su shell I get bad uid 2000 and so on.
How can I restore root? I can access TWRP recovery.

how about /sbin/su -c unlink /system/bin/su or wherever you symlinked toybox applets?
are you sure that binary is actually a replacement including all android specific applets (like getevent) for built-in toybox?
why did you replace system files in first place if you're actually on Magisk and could just use systemless overlays instead?

If I try to unlink it says it's read-only file system. I could try to do it in recovery but I'm afraid to reboot...
What is strange is that which su points to /sbin/magisk, so it should not consider the other su symlink to toybox
Another thing I noticed is that new symlink to toybox created with my script are root both UID and GID, while existing ones are root UID and shell GID
Toybox binary is specific for my Android ARMv8 http://landley.net/toybox/downloads/binaries/0.8.9/toybox-aarch64.
You are right about systemless overlays.

aarch64 is only the cpu architecture, doesn't say anything about android.
how did you install toybox on read-only file system? remount -o,rw /

ok, however the arch is right for my Snap855, I tried other applets embedded in toybox, like factor, and they work.
I used MiXplorer to write to system, I gave it root permissions so it could work on it. Now MiX is unarmed and Terminal Emulator can only read into root dirs but not write.

quick check with my toybox yours is missing all android specific applets
Code:
:/ $ cd $HOME
:/data/user/0/jackpal.androidterm/app_HOME $ ls -la

you should reinstall stock toybox from TWRP backup.
edit: this might help
Code:
:/ $ ls -lZ /system/bin/toybox
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root shell u:object_r:toolbox_exec:s0 352532 2008-12-31 17:00 /system/bin/toybox

I renamed the old toybox, so I could restore it from recovery.
Btw, I get this with ls -lZ
-rwxr-xr-x 1 0 2000 ? 825176 2023-01-29 07:34 /system/bin/toybox
Seem to have lost context there.
Thanks for your quick replies.

either you're on Jelly bean or you lost secontext. repair with chcon
Code:
chcon u:object_r:toolbox_exec:s0 /system/bin/toybox

You are right, new toybox does not have specific Android applet, like chcon or restorecon.
So, please correct me if I'm wrong, I reboot in TWRP, restore old toybox.
Then should I run chcon / restorecon or reboot straight away?
I lost secontext in all root dirs /, /system, /vendor, /sdcard...

not sure what ROM you're talking about. maybe you used ls of wrong toybox?

Don't understand your answer, what ROM are you referring to?
If I ./"toybox old" restorecon I get restorecon: Needs 1 argument (see "restorecon --help")
If I restorecon I get toybox: Unknown command restorecon (see "toybox --help")
Please advise me if it's right to restore old toybox via TWRP and reboot to system or there's the need to chcon / restorecon, thanks

please give the output of
Code:
grep ro.build.fingerprint /system/build.prop /system*/system/build.prop
it's very unlikely you lost every secontext. either it never existed or you just can't view.
restorecon won't help you much. only restoring TWRP backup could restore secontext as it was before.

grep ro.build.fingerprint /system/build.prop
ro.build.fingerprint=Xiaomi/cepheus_eea/cepheus:10/QKQ1.190825.002/V11.0.9.0.QFAEUXM:user/release-keys
ro.build.fingerprint_real=Xiaomi/cepheus/cepheus:10/QKQ1.190825.002/20.7.2:user/release-keys/1593694646

so your ROM is stock ROM Android 10 it must have secontext of course. in case it's true you lost every secontext best is download cepheus_eea_global_images_V11.0.9.0.QFAEUXM_20200421.0000.00_10.0_eea_31715f4bd1.tgz and flash_all_except_storage.bat
(you can backup boot in TWRP beforehand and flash boot.emmc.win from fastboot right after)
edit: build.prop usually is in /system(_root)/system/build.prop on new devices, so most likely what you think is build.prop is just from the TWRP image used.
maybe you didn't mount System?

Resolved
Rebooted into TWRP, restored original toybox, deleted my symlinks, checked secontexts ok, rebooted to system, all fine.
Thank for your support

you can place toybox in /data/adb/modules/toybox/system/xbin/toybox, make a diff and only symlink missing applets in there.
then create modules.prop, reboot and done.
