Database Develop

Just and FYI

I have a v6 stock phone, no root, no cwm. Thought I would run through the ADB manual method of root to see what happens. I get to this point...
Code:
>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
When I try to do the SU because I get the $ I get Permissions denied.
I know that this method does not work but I wanted to see where it fails. It appears that they may have fixed the glitch that allowed the rage exploit to work.
I also tried cubes other way and it failed as well.
Code:
Open ADB shell
Your command prompt should be "$"
Run
kill `busybox pidof adbd`
Re-run ADB shell, your command prompt should change to "#"
Just thought I would toss this out there in case someone wanted to know...

Thanks for the heads up on this good info to know when I get my rev on Saturday

Mm, I went through that last night, then downgraded to the V4 software as shown by the other post - still, none of it worked for me.

Pull your SDcard out when trying to root after the downgrade. Or format the SD card. It should work then.

[Guide][Root] Rooting the LG Revolution 4G Using Linux

This Guide is to root the LG Revolution 4G with system builds V7 and lower using only linux. Not many people use linux, but I do and figured someone may need a hand if they are just starting out with linux. I have tested this on 2 phones and 2 different distros. If you have problems let me know.
Android is based off from linux so let's do it in linux.
Disclamer
Do This at your OWN risk. Nothing is my responsibility if you brick your phone or damange anything in frustration. If you follow this guide to the "T" you should have no problems what-so-ever.
This is not MY exploit, only a guide on how to do it in a linux environment.
Things you will ABSOLUTELY need:
1) Root privliges on your linux-box
2) The exploit from mtmichaelson's post HERE
3) The Android SDK for linux HERE
4) Your LG Revolution, Duh!
5) Patience, and a brain
To start things off you need to setup the SDK, if you already have the SDK up and working skip down to the preparation section.
Setting up the SDK:
1) Go to your downloads folder and extract your android-sdk_xxx-linux.tgz
2) I recommend moving that extracted folder to your Desktop for easy access and rename the folder android-sdk.
3) Next you must download the proper platform-tools, so open terminal and type
Code:
cd /home/[your username]/Desktop/android-sdk/tools
sudo ./android
4) This should popup the SDK Manager, click on the checkmark for the tools folder then click "install _ packages"
5) Next go to your android-sdk folder and make sure you have the folder platform-tools. If not go back to "Setting up the SDK".
Preparation:
1) Make sure you turn USB debugging 'on' from Settings>applications>development>USB Debugging => This should be checked!
2) Make sure you have internet connection selected from Settings>Connectivity => select always ask or choose the default connection as internet connection.
Rooting:
1) Extract the exploit you downloaded above and I would recommend moving it to the Desktop for easy access.
2) Now connect your phone via USB, and choose internet connection when you click on the USB icon in your notifications pull-down menu; open up a terminal and type:
Code:
cd /home/[your username]/Desktop/android-sdk/platform-tools
sudo ./adb kill-server
sudo ./adb devices
3) This should give you a "List of the devices attached" to your computer with adb. Make sure you see numbers/letters and "device" like so...
Code:
99999B9999ECB9999 device
Note: if you do not get any devices listed, don't , do:
i) Disconnect your phone
ii) Pull the battery for 10 sec.
iii) Restart your computer
iv) go back to step #2
4) Now push the exploit and start it by typing:
Code:
sudo ./adb push /home/[your username]/Desktop/LGRevolutionRoot/zergrush /data/local/tmp/zergrush
sudo ./adb shell "chmod 755 /data/local/tmp/zergrush"
sudo ./adb shell "./data/local/tmp/zergrush"
5) This should start the exploit and you should see the activity in the terminal. When its done you should be prompted with a #.
a) if it is successful, simply click ctrl+Z. This should bring you back to a $ prompt.
b) if it fails
i) Disconnect your phone
ii) Backup ANYTHING you need with mybackup from the android market
iii) Perform a factory reset of your phone in Settings>Privacy>Factory Data Reset
iV) go back to step #2
6) Next we must push the proper files to run the root so type in terminal:
Code:
sudo ./adb shell /data/local/tmp/sh -c "mkdir /system/tmp"
sudo ./adb shell /data/local/tmp/sh -c "chmod 777 /system/tmp"
Code:
sudo ./adb push /home/[your username]/Desktop/LGRevolutionRoot/su /system/tmp/su
sudo ./adb push /home/[your username]/Desktop/LGRevolutionRoot/busybox /system/tmp/busybox
sudo ./adb push /home/[your username]/Desktop/LGRevolutionRoot/Superuser.apk /system/tmp/Superuser.apk
sudo ./adb push /home/[your username]/Desktop/LGRevolutionRoot/RevoToolkit-1.0.apk /data/local/tmp/RevoToolkit-1.0.apk
Code:
sudo ./adb shell /data/local/tmp/sh -c "mv /system/tmp/su /system/xbin/su"
sudo ./adb shell /data/local/tmp/sh -c "mv /system/tmp/Superuser.apk /system/app/Superuser.apk"
sudo ./adb shell /data/local/tmp/sh -c "mv /system/tmp/busybox /system/xbin/busybox"
sudo ./adb shell /data/local/tmp/sh -c "mv /data/local/tmp/RevoToolkit-1.0.apk /data/app/RevoToolkit-1.0.apk"
sudo ./adb shell /data/local/tmp/sh -c "chown root /system/xbin/su"
sudo ./adb shell /data/local/tmp/sh -c "chmod 4755 /system/xbin/su"
sudo ./adb shell /data/local/tmp/sh -c "ln -s /system/xbin/su /system/bin/su"
sudo ./adb shell /data/local/tmp/sh -c "chmod 755 /system/xbin/busybox"
sudo ./adb shell /data/local/tmp/sh -c "/system/xbin/busybox --install /system/xbin/"
7) Everything should be in order now cleanup; type:
Code:
sudo ./adb shell /data/local/tmp/sh -c "rmdir /system/tmp"
sudo ./adb shell "rm /data/local/tmp/* 2>/dev/null"
8) Just left to do is reboot the phone so type:
Code:
sudo ./adb reboot
sudo ./adb kill-server
Congrats! now you should reboot and be completely rooted and have the RevoToolkit to install the CWM recovery.
To install the recovery just start the RevoToolkit app and check for stock recovery and then install CWM.
Then you are free to install proper ROMs/Kernels.
If anyone has any questions please tell me your distro and if you are running virtually or not.
Hope this helps!
Special Thanks:
mtmichaelson for posting the inital thread for the download of his repackaged exploit.
The The Revolutionary Guys for the exploit
djrbliss for the initial script and port
thecubed for RevoToolkit
MikesTooLz for coordinating

While I will probably never use my Linux box to root a phone (one clicks are so easier ) You are my hero for putting this together. A "thanks' to you sir!!

Anytime glad to see someone here uses Linux!

[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] Install < install_parse_failed_no_certificates > Solved

Hello every one,
I am using the latest nightly bild from CM10.1 and I am trying to install GPSCountryOptimizer app with adb but all the time it give me error INSTALL_FAILED_INVALID_APK ?
Can anyone please explain me what do I need to do? Also tried to wipe devlik after copying the same app in system folder and setting permissions as well but no use.
Thanks.

check settings in Developer Options about adb. may be you do not have some check point there...
also uncheck <verify application> and check <unknown sources> and try again

Thanks for your quick reply. I have checked USB Debugging, Debugging over network is unchecked, Apps over USB checking is unchecked.
It should be right or maybe I am wrong.

With the Following Process it worked out how to install the unsigned apps.
Here are a couple of different options to try.
For both options you will need to put the gallery apk into the same directory as your sdk install. (if you don't know what this is try to pull a file from your device and see where it ends up. Mine is /AndroidSDK/tools because I installed the SDK in the /AndroidSDK directory on my PC)
with all of the commands to type below ignore the single quotes (')
*Install from PC*
1) connect your phone and make sure adb can detect it.
- Launch command prompt
- Navigate to your sdk directory
- type 'adb devices' - you should now see your device listed.
2) Go back to the command prompt and type 'adb install [apk name.apk]
3) You should now see a success message, if you it fails try my other option below.
*Manually place APK into /system/app*
1) connect your phone and make sure adb can detect it.
- Launch command prompt
- Navigate to your sdk directory
- type 'adb devices' - you should now see your device listed.
2) push gallery apk to your sd card.
-type 'adb push [apk name.apk] /sdcard/[apk name.apk]
3) Launch a second command prompt
-type 'adb shell'
-type 'su'
-type 'mount -o rw,remount -t ext3 /dev/block/mmcblk1p21 /system'
4) go back to first command prompt
-type 'adb shell'
-type 'su'
-type 'cd /system/app'
-type 'cp /sdcard/[apk name.apk] [apk name.apk]'
-command prompt will show 'cp /sdcard/[apk name.apk] [apk name.apk]'
-type 'exit' (this will get you out of su)
-type 'exit' again (this should get you out of adb shell)
-type 'exit' again (this should close the command prompt)
5) go back to first command prompt
-type 'exit' (this will get you out of su)
-type 'exit' again (this should get you out of adb shell)
-type 'adb reboot' (this will reboot your phone)
-type 'exit' again (this should close the command prompt)
You may not need to do this in 2 command prompts, but for some reason I've had issue using just one before.
one of these should work.
Thanks to ezun for so detailed post.

Having the same problem here with the PwnMyMoto rooting file. Thing is, the Droid maxx does not have a sd card. Should I just type "System" instead of sdcard in the command?

[Q] SlapMyMoto Error: Permission Denied

Hey Everyone,
When I get to the last step of the SlapMyMoto rooting process, I get the following error message:
Code:
/system/bin/sh: can't create /sys/kernel/uevent_helper: Permission denied
I was running into exactly the same problem yesterday, so today I started the entire process from scratch and manually typed everything in. I even ran the entire process from my Macbook (rather than a Windows VM) since several people said that the process worked on the first shot via Mac.
@jcase
If anyone can help, I'd really appreciate it. Thanks!

I'm having the same error
Has anyone had any success? I've tried on ubuntu and windoze 7. Both come back with this error:
/system/bin/sh: can't create /sys/kernel/uevent_helper: Permission denied
I'm so close, I can almost smell the root. Any additional help would be greatly appreciated.

Same here

Also getting this when trying to root. Im on windows 7

i think i know what your issue is. i did it last night when i was trying to root 4.4
your skipping a step.
after you type in cwgin
dalvikvm -cp /sdcard/SlapMyMoto.jar SlapMyMoto
then you reboot your device
but then you have to run the command again in cwgin but this time it should reboot it self.
then continue with the rest of the commands
i missed it the first time threw. and it gave me the same issue. hope that helps

Thanks

Thank you, but that's not the problem. I did run slapmymoto twice. Any other ideas? I'm actually on a Droid Maxx so I can't downgrade and start over.

if you are allready on 4.4 i think your stuck for now untill they find a way to root 4.4 without downgrading
sounds like you missed something before you ran the OTA

I was stuck here too until I realized that I was not su by default on the shell.
Type su and hit enter
once you have a # at the prompt then type the rest.
This fixed it for me right away.
