Database Develop

RWSystem and ROSystem

a friend wanted myfaves but I know there is any easier way than to type mount -o rw,remount and the rest I've tried rwsystem and rosystem what am I not doing?
It says rwsystem is not found

you typing it into adb or the terminal?

RWSystem and ROSystem are custom scripts some devs are placing in their /system/bin. Find a build that has them (I think JAC's do) and then push them to the phone with
Code:
adb remount
adb push RWSystem /system/bin
adb push ROSystem /system/bin
adb shell
#cd system/bin
#chmod 0755 RWSystem
#chmod 0755 ROSystem
#exit

oh ok thanks for the help I appreciate it.

when I type it in it says permission denied. I used both ADB and terminal.

you must type "su" first and choose always allow when promted to grant root access.

I did. and I followed all the instructions here it still doesn't work.
do I need to reboot afterwards?

you did make sure to chmod 755 them didnt' you

yep I used adb shell chmod 755.
and then used SU File Browser to chmod 755

[tutorial]Root any latest firmware with ease

Firstly what i would like to say is this is not a one click root like update.zip or superoneclick you will need to have some basic knowledge of adb and ubuntu and a little bit working mind which can follow the provided steps.
Requirements:-
*cwm recovery already flashed (if not refer here)
* Working linux distro (ubuntu, mint, kubuntu etc.) with atleast sudo rights
* adb setted-up (if not refer here, may not need to follow the usb drivers steps)
* must know how to use adb
* superuser package from here
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
So we are now ready to start
STEPS:-
1. Extract all file (su, busybox) from the downloaded package to the folder where you have adb setted-up
2. open a terminal
3. cd to the directory where you have placed adb and files
4. boot your phone into cwm recovery mode (home power) connect through usb
5. type "sudo chown root:shell /path to su"
6. type "sudo chmod 06755 /path to su"
7. type " sudo chmod 04755 /path to busybox"
8. type " adb devices" if you will see anything attached you are good to go
9. type " adb remount" if you get remount succedd then you can do below steps if not you are doing something wrong do again
10. type "adb push su /system/xbin"
11. type "adb push busybox /system/xbin
12. type adb push supersu.apk ( or what it is called) /system/app
13. now type "adb shell"
14. type su if accepted then you are rooted
15. now type "reboot"
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
you are successfully rooted
enjoy your phone

awesome guide buddy very useful for n0obs

First of all great guide! But please correct these:
You have to mount the system partition manually. Adb remount won't do it!
adb shell
# mount -rw -t rfs /dev/block/stl12 /system
Do chmod/chown in adb. It isn't enough to set it before copying.
# chown root:shell /system/xbin/*
# chmod 06755 /system/xbin/su
# chmod 04755 /system/xbin/busybox
# chmod 04755 /system/xbin/sqlite3
# chmod 04755 /system/xbin/ssh

if we were able to chmod with adb there was no need to use ubuntu
we cannot chmod it shows operation not permitted as as we yet dont have root
have you tried to do adb remount or just saying that i will not do the work
and thanks for chown part

Hi!
For me, adb remount didn't work. It exited with an error code. I don't remember the exact error code... (cwm couldn't mount too)
When I experienced "operation not permitted" while chmoding, the partition was mounted as vfat! Because if you do "mount /dev/... /system" without switches, it automatically mounts it as vfat. In vfat you can't set setuid, setgid permissions.
I think it was just a coincidence that i could rooted with ubuntu. But it worked, so better to use linux (better adb perhaps?).
Rooting is a bit strange in this new firmware. For example when you do "adb shell" while the phone is in cwm, you have root access. So you have to do those things manually while you have temporary root access.

how can you mount rfs file system as vfat i dont think it can be done

Yes it's really strange. I don't know how this thing possible too...
But I checked multiple times with "cat /proc/mounts" , and mounting without "-t rfs" it was mounted as vfat.
a bit of googling:
"You can mount as rfs as Fat in ubuntu and read/copy the files
editing them wont work at all ."
So maybe it is possible.

[HOWTO] Installing Superuser/busybox for Mac

Device is pre-rooted, but only lets you do stuff via terminal. I didn't find a way to install Superuser/busybox on Mac, so I decided to make a simple guide. Took me all of 3min to complete, well since I already had the sdk and everything else installed.
You'll need this Superuser.apk, su binary and busybox.apk, dL the files from here http://d-h.st/BBk, once you have the files installed and launch Superuser it will ask you to update the binary, just click yes. Place the 3 files in your sdk/platform-tools folder.
Open Terminal cd sdk/platform-tools
On your Desktop go to Go…Go to Folder and type ~/.android, open adb_usb.ini and add 0x2836 to that file, save and close.
To verify it's listed:
./adb kill-server
echo 0x2836
./adb start-server
./adb devices
Your device should be listed here. If you want wireless adb access so you're not always hooked up to the console do the following, make sure your device is still connected via usb:
./adb tcpip 5555
unplug console
./adb connect xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx (this is the ip of your console, this is listed under manage…system…console info, should be the second line)
You're set, now you can install apps wirelessly to your OUYA console. You need to make the console read/write to do this do the following
./adb shell
su
mount -o rw,remount -t ext4 /dev/block/platform/sdhci-tegra.3/by-name/APP
mount -o rw,remount -t ext4 /dev/block/platform/sdhci-tegra.3/by-name/UDA
mount -o rw,remount -t ext4 /dev/block/platform/sdhci-tegra.3/by-name/CAC
Now we will install su binary, superuser and busybox
./adb push su/system/bin/su /sdcard/su
./adb shell
su
cat /sdcard/su > /system/xbin/su
ln -s /system/xbin/su /system/bin/su
chmod 6755 /system/xbin/su
exit
exit
./adb install com.koushikdutta.superuser.apk
./adb install stericson.busybox.apk
Should be up and running, if this helped you please thank me or donate a couple bucks

You rock!
I was at this for a while before I found your post. I'm on windows, but this is the only thread I could find that had anything useful Mind if I share this around on other forums?

Just link them back, steps are almost identical for Windows. Just need to remove the ./ from the adb commands

It's pure luck that this works. There's several things wrong with it.
There's no reason to have two copies of su. There should only be one, and at most have the other be a symlink.
the su binary should be chmodded '6755'.
It works because piping the contents of a file to another file usually leaves the permissions intact. So, sort of works - it leaves a broken copy of su in /system/bin and a luckily working one in /system/xbin.
So, tl;dr, the guide should be:
Code:
./adb push su/system/bin/su /sdcard/su
./adb shell
su
cat /sdcard/su > /system/xbin/su
ln -s /system/xbin/su /system/bin/su
chmod 6755 /system/xbin/su
exit
exit
./adb install com.koushikdutta.superuser.apk

Thanks, this was my first time doing anything like this...figured I'd try to hack together something from other guides, since I didn't see very many people with the device yet. I will change it now

This is really pointless, userdata is already RW, cache should be RW, but more importantly you do nothing that would require them to be remounted

Thank you Elmero.
I'm so glad I gave up and went to bed last night. It could not have gone smoother. I followed the instructions for setting up wireless adb from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2272266 as well.
TIP: I wasted an hour or more trying to figure out why PC was not recognizing the OUYA at all. It was the stupid Micro usb port, compunding the fact that all the ports are to close to begin with the micro usb port is very deep. Neither of my Samsung cables worked, fortunately I have a kodak pocket video cam and the cable for that is a few mm longer and worked perfectly.

And who said Kodac isn't relevant anymore?

1) It's already rooted.
2) You can already sideload anything you want to it, same as (almost) any android device, whether it is rooted or not. (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=41796467&postcount=11)

So what steps need to be repeated after the OTA?
from my limited understanding I think it should be steps 4 through 12. Or does the system partition not need to be mounted as read-write again?

Yup 4-12
Edit
If su is still on the sdcard you can skip 6-8... wont hurt if you do them though...

Might be a good idea to do them. The OTA version of such is different from the one in this guide. I had tried keeping the stock su and superuser complained

Do you still have access to the ouya store after SU installed? I heard rumors that access to the store was blocked until root access removed?

How to manually update su and SuperSu file through ADB root shell?

I have an un-rooted device, with Android 5.0 system, and the core is ARM Coretex A53.
I happen to found "adb root" works, that means I can play as root through ADB shell.
I successfully deleted a trash apk, renowned "kingroot", from my system.
Then, I try to manually update su and SuperSu file, through the bellowing commands:
# mount -o rw,remount /system
# cp /sdcard/mrw/su /system/xbin/su
# cp /sdcard/mrw/su /system/bin/su
# pm install /sdcard/mrw/superuser.apk
(I'm using a 2.46 SuperSu version, which should be OK for Android 5.0 system)
But it fails. The SuperSu told me " su binary not installed".
My questions:
1. Is this a feasible way to update Su and SuperSu, and get root access?
2. There's a bunch of architect, I tried both "arm" and "arm64", but none of the su binary can work. Which architect shall I choose, when I'm running on a ARM Coretex A53 core? ( I know it is a 64bit core)
Thanks a lot, and Best Regards,
towenyu

Did you get this device secondhand? Also what device is it, since many have their own root method because of OEM crap.
That said, you only need su in one location, either /system/xbin/su or /system/bin/su (I typically see it in /system/xbin/su). I'm not sure what happens if it's in both, but it's just wasted space.
You can try these commands through adb root; since you already were able to get su onto your device, it may be just a matter of ownership and permissions:
Code:
# mount -o rw,remount /system
# chmod 755 /system/xbin/su
# chown root:root /system/xbin/su
# mount -o ro,remount /system
chown 755 sets the permissions to rwxr-xr-x (user gets read/write/execute, group/other gets read/execute). Execute is the important bit here, since otherwise the su binary can't do its job. After those commands, try SuperSU again and see if it works (you might need a reboot, because of how Android 5.0+ handles changes to /system) The last mount -o ro command just changes /system back to read-only, to prevent accidental changes to other parts.

Successfully rooted!
Not that simple, but basically follow the update-binary script already inside supersu package.
Only need to made slight modification due to my system won't support "unzip"

Now that you're successfully rooted, go install Busybox, that'll give you a lot of Linux commands Android doesn't have by default, including unzip.

Thanks for your advice! I will try it.
But don't there's already a Busybox in android system? I guess what I need to do is find somewhere a more powerful busybox binary -- or build it by my own, but that may be not so easy for me.

Android has some basic Linux commands support, but I don't think it has Busybox (if you have a custom ROM you may have some additional commands, but since you said unrooted I don't think it was installed.
This is one of the most popular installers for Busybox: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=stericson.busybox
I've used it since I first rooted with Android 2.2 and haven't had any issues with it (save for lack of vim, since stock Android doesn't have the correct libraries for it)

Hi, I'm totally blind, and twrp isn't an option for me since it doesn't have a built in screen reader. I would like to install supersu to system, would some one kindly help me in telling me what files to put where. I think the m9 is arm64, but besides su and supersu.apk, I think there's installrecovery.ssh and some other files that have to go in, so please help some one

it is possible to run manualy via adb shell update-binary file from META-INF supersu folder for install it ? (means before unpacked folder supersu is copied to ex. /tmp)

Thank You - I will check and give feedback

Can I somehow just copy su and supersu files to phone (stock ROM) with full root shell to get root? Unfortunately bootloader is locked and only root shell is available.

Of course not. If it were that easy rooting would be a non-issue for devices with a locked bootloader.

Successfully rooted!
Not that simple, but basically follow the update-binary script already inside supersu package.
Only need to made slight modification due to my system won't support "unzip"

Can you give more details ?
I'm in a similar situation (/system/bin/su and /system/xbin/su "updated" from Supersu zip , root access from adb shell , rom built as userdebug) but I'm unable to launch the update-binary through adb to get the TV fully rooted..

[Q][Genymotion][Marshmallow] Installing Xposed in VM [Solved]

Has anybody worked out how to create a Genymotion Xposed testing device?
What I've already achieved:
- Grant Root access to Xposed
- Flash ARM zip
The problem is: Genymotion runs on x86, not ARM. So flashing the ARM zip just breaks the VM.
But flashing the x86 zip just gives the Error "Failed to flash file".
(Yes, I'm using Genyflash)
I also tried it with and without arm translation, no changes.
I simply have no idea what else I could try. Is it currently possible at all?

I found that the flash-script.sh inside the xposed-v78-sdk23-x86.zip file is somehow not successfully executed by Genymotion. I've manually patched it.

I installed Custom Phone and Google Nexus 7 and none of them has root. Should I do any special setup or did I install wrong device? I use Genymotion 2.6.0 free version.

The ROM should be rooted already. su command is available and when you use ADB, it's already a rooted shell.

I got answer from Genymotion team:
"I just got an update from the Dev Team : it appears that in 6.0 the SuperUser Android App hasn't been yet implemented.
This feature will be implemented in the future, and I have linked your request to the task.
When it will be completed and released, you will be automatically notified."

So I managed to make some progress on this. I got the latest v84 xposed working in the newest Genymotion 2.6.0 with a Nexus 5X image by doing the following:
Code:
git clone https://github.com/rovo89/GenyFlash
cd GenyFlash && ./install.sh
adb push xposed-v84-sdk23-x86.zip /sdcard
adb shell flash-archive.sh /sdcard/xposed-v84-sdk23-x86.zip
Reboot Genymotion VM and then drag XposedInstaller_3.0_alpha4.apk to Genymotion vm...profit!
As stated above, the Genymotion images are rooted but a lot of root apps ask for permission and the prompt to grant/deny root wasn't working for me rendering the apps limited in use. I downloaded the newest SuperSU BETA, at the time of this post, BETA-SuperSU-v2.71-20160331103524. I extracted it and then issues the following commands from terminal:
Code:
adb shell mount -o remount,rw /system
adb install common/Superuser.apk
adb push x86/su /system/bin/su
adb shell chmod 0755 /system/bin/su
adb push x86/su /system/xbin/su
adb shell chmod 0755 /system/xbin/su
adb shell su --install
adb shell "su --daemon&"
adb shell setenforce 0
adb shell mount -o remount,ro /system
The problem was issuing the "su" commands resulted in: "error: only position independent executables (PIE) are supported." Countless time spent google searching didn't turn up any leads, but then I happened to notice in the x86/su directory a file called su.pie...pie = position independent executable derp. So I reran the following:
Code:
adb shell mount -o remount,rw /system
adb push x86/su.pie /system/bin/su
adb shell chmod 0755 /system/bin/su
adb push x86/su.pie /system/xbin/su
adb shell chmod 0755 /system/xbin/su
adb shell su --install
adb shell "su --daemon&"
adb shell setenforce 0
adb shell mount -o remount,ro /system
Rebooted my Genymotion vm and BAM root access prompts!!!!! Hope this helps others and good luck.

Worked for me

the Supersu.apk still won't update the su binary. Do you know of a way to get that to work? If not I don't care I have supersu granting root. LOL

If I remember correctly I have that same issue but if you use the newest supersu zip you should be able to update it manually via the provided steps.

I think GenyFlash shouldn't be needed anymore... just drag and drop the x86 zip and the installer APK on the Genymotion window and reboot. The only thing that isn't working are the reboot buttons in the installer.

I got it to work. This is what I did. I fallowed your steps to get SuperSU working, and granting
apps permission. Then I removed the APK and installed the APK from the 2.46 update. Then I updated SuperSU.apk from the play store. Success the binary updated successfully.
Step 1: fallowed your steps with the Bata.
Step 2: once I confirmed superSU is working, I remove the APK.
Step 3: I use the SuperSU APK in the 2.46 update.
Step 4: I use adb to push the APK in the 2.46 update to /system/app, and chmod it to 755.
Step 5: I reboot and go to the play store and update SuperSU.
Success!!!!!!!
this was again on the Genymotion Google Nexus 9 6.0 API.
