Hello, I just recently got my z1s C6916 and I'm trying to root via jcase method. Now in order to do the commands in adb doesn't my phone have to be in fastboot mode? If it does, how can I get into fastboot? I've tried holding down the volume down button while pressing the power button but no luck. My phone is easily recognized in adb and I have USB debugging on but after I run all the commands it just tells me that it cannot execute. So that is why I am wondering if I have to be in fastboot mode in order for the commands to work.

No,
It has to be turned on and connected to the PC
Type
adb devices
to check your PC is recognising the adb device
ok I did it without fastboot and ran all the commands but keep getting cannot execute for the last command
C:\Users\TEMP\Downloads\xperia root>adb devices
List of devices attached
CB5A1Z18JC device
C:\Users\TEMP\Downloads\xperia root>adb push pwn /data/local/tmp/pwn
5056 KB/s (574722 bytes in 0.111s)
C:\Users\TEMP\Downloads\xperia root>adb shell chmod 755 /data/local/tmp/pwn

/system/bin/sh: /data/local/tmp/pwn: can't execute: Is a directory

You may have to allow unkown sources.
Not sure as I have a Z1
yeah I have unknown sources allowed. I wonder if I have to turn off my fire wall to do this? Well thanks for your help brudda, really do appreciate it.

maybe your adressing was wrong or something like that! because it say you try to execute a directory! Do some search about this command. it maybe help you.

It looks like you are in recovery.. when you type adb shell it should look like this
adb shell
#
NOT
adb shell
/ #
Type the command when the phone is booted up and running.
first of all iv been trying to root my legend for hours and this is geting very furstarting... i am using the guide here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=845512
i have finaly managed to get adb to work and have made my goldcard after 2 days of intense work and now im trying to downgrade my phone to root it
i am geting the following error in adb
when i type adb remount it says remount failed operation not permitted i have looked all over the net and found no answer
in additon to that when im trying to use adb push i type the following
adb shell
$su
su
#adb push flash_image /data/local/
adb push flash_image /data/local/
i just get the same line repeated how to excute commands from adb? this is very confusing since im noob with rooting also the following lines i don't know how to excute them too
adb push flash_image /data/local/
adb push misc1-2.img /data/local/
chmod 755 /data/local/flash_image
cat /dev/mtd/mtd0 > /sdcard/misc_backup.img
/data/local/flash_image misc /data/local/misc1-2.img
please explain to me how to use theese thanks!
That one is relatively easy. You could also follow Paul's guide but I like my approach better
Connect your phone to your PC. Second you have to install VISIONary r13 into your phone and do the "temproot" procedure. After a successful "temproot" you should be able to adb shell and then su. Fire up command prompt and issue:
adb shell
su
...you should have root privileges now (showing #). Next thing is backing up misc partition and replacing it with one from hack4legend-v5.zip. Extract this zip somewhere and fire another command promt there. Now you should upload flash_image binary and misc1-2.img:
adb push flash_image /data/local/
adb push misc1-2.img /data/local/
...switch back to 1st command prompt and change permission of flash_image_binary:
chmod 755 /data/local/flash_image
...and backup your current misc partition:
cat /dev/mtd/mtd0 > /sdcard/misc_backup.img
Now flash misc1-2.img:
Code:
/data/local/flash_image misc /data/local/misc1-2.img
exit
...and you are set to downgrade retaining HBOOT 1.00.

Read better, you have to open a new terminal for pushing the files to the phone, you can't use adb push while you are in adb shell.
BTW you should avoid posting questions in development section.
Hey guys!
So I decided to try my hand at Installing Kindle Fire HD 7" 2nd-Bootloader + TWRP Complete Tutorial. On Step 2: Grabbing Files and Backing Up, when I plug the code to cmd, it says: error: device not found. Now, I have the Fastboot icon on the KF's screen and I have the factory cable connected. Also, android sdk is installed (as the tutorial said) on my Windows 7 machine. Any ideas? Thanks in advance!

You're in fastboot mode to do what? Are you restoring after a mistake? What command were you using before that error, and what was the code you used that returned with the error? For now, see if you can reboot using the following code:
Code:
fastboot -i 0x1949 reboot
You can also try doing the normal shutting down with the power button, but I've never tried that, so be careful.

Ok, I know that I can shut down with the power button. My problem is backing up my current Amazon ROM.

You're trying to backup with ADB commands in fastboot mode? What are you doing in fastboot mode?
ADB is simply turning on the device, make sure ADB is on under Settings, and connect the device to the PC with the regular charging cable. That's it. Fastboot commands use "fastboot" at the beginning.
Ahhh, ok got it. One last question, when I add the following codes to backup, I get the remote object '/sdcard/stock-recovery.img/' does not exist ERROR. I've rooted it and followed the instructions.Thoughts?
adb pull /sdcard/stock-boot.img/ [C:\KFHD7Backup]
adb pull /sdcard/stock-recovery.img/ [C:\KFHD7Backup]
adb pull /sdcard/stock-system.img/ [C:\KFHD7Backup]

Those commands tell the device to pull the images from the sdcard to the new directory, so if you have nothing on the sdcard for ADB to pull, it returns with that error. Do the first set again.
Ok, that still doesn't work, I do understand what you are saying though.
I apply these lines of codes:
adb shell su -c "dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0boot0 of=/sdcard/boot0block.img"
adb shell su -c "dd if=/dev/block/platform/omap/omap_hsmmc.1/by-name/boot of=/sdcard/stock-boot.img"
adb shell su -c "dd if=/dev/block/platform/omap/omap_hsmmc.1/by-name/recovery of=/sdcard/stock-recovery.img"
adb shell su -c "dd if=/dev/block/platform/omap/omap_hsmmc.1/by-name/system of=/sdcard/stock-system.img"
I still get the same error when apply these lines of codes after it:
adb pull /sdcard/stock-boot.img/ [C:\KFHD7Backup]
adb pull /sdcard/stock-recovery.img/ [C:\KFHD7Backup]
adb pull /sdcard/stock-system.img/ [C:\KFHD7Backup]
remote object '/sdcard/stock-boot.img/' does not exist
The last line of code of the first set, nothing comes up after it.
adb shell su -c "dd if=/dev/block/platform/omap/omap_hsmmc.1/by-name/system of=/sdcard/stock-system.img"
Usually, it comes out like this:
C:\Users\Username>adb shell su -c "dd if=/dev/block/platform/omap/omap_hsmmc.1/by-n
ame/boot of=/sdcard/stock-boot.img"

Is there a folder called "KFHD7Backup" under the C: drive? Also, check your personal folder, some images might be in there.
ALRIGHT! Finally, I used hashcode's code and it worked. I also found it in my personal folder. Thanks a lot!

I'm lost and I need help. I copied my code from Hashcode, so...I'm lost. Anyway, complete the guide and get flashing.
Thank you for the tools you are developing here and the help you are giving.
My KFHD7 is rooted and adb works.
I apply these lines of code:
adb shell su -c "dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0boot0 of=/sdcard/boot0block.img"
adb shell su -c "dd if=/dev/block/platform/omap/omap_hsmmc.1/by-name/boot of=/sdcard/stock-boot.img"

adb shell su -c "dd if=/dev/block/platform/omap/omap_hsmmc.1/by-name/system of=/sdcard/stock-system.img"
I checked on my Kindle with ESExplorer and I can see on the sdcard the 3 files: stock-boot.img, stock-recovery.img and stock-system.img.
But when I want to move them to C, I received the message
remote object '/sdcard/stock-boot.img/' does not exist
I can't see the files on the internal storage of the Kindle, via the computer. But I can see others files which are there.
Did I miss something?
Thank you in advance,
Jeanphi
I had issues with the syntax of that command at first too, try typing this instead:
"adb pull /sdcard/stock-boot.img ."
That should pull the file into the directory u have the command prompt cd'd into. Another note I couldn't get it to accept c:\ as a acceptable syntax, so being a Linux user I found on windows u can run "adb pull /sdcard/stock-boot.img /users/username/desktop" and basically / acts as c:\, if u want to put it in a specific place.

Thank you for the quick reply.
I'm also using Linux, even if I'm a beginner.
So this not a problem of Windows.
Both OS show the same symptoms: the following error message and the fact that in both cases, I can't see the files on the sdcard when I look on the Internal storage of the Kindle, with the computer, even if can see other files (but not any file with an .img extension)
[email protected]:~$ adb pull /sdcard/stock-boot.img
* daemon not running. starting it now on port 5037 *
* daemon started successfully *

[email protected]:~$ adb pull /sdcard/stock-boot.img/
remote object '/sdcard/stock-boot.img/' does not exist
I copied with ESexplorer the three files (stock-boot.img, etc) on Download on the Kindle.
Then,
[email protected]:~$ adb pull /sdcard/Download/stock-boot.img/
remote object '/sdcard/Download/stock-boot.img/' does not exist
[email protected]:~$
(Download is with a capital D on the Kindle)
So the files are available on the Kindle. The problem is to find a way to put them on the computer.
Can I mail them to me ?
Jeanphi.
That's still the wrong syntax, don't put a / after the end of the filename, instead put a space and a period.

Sorry. I haven't seen the new syntax.
It works perfectly with Linux (Ubuntu).
Thanks again.
I will try the following steps of your thread about the 2nd bootloader, but I might wait til I have a factory cable.

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!

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

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.

oh :/
I've read that somewhere else too.
But I thought it should be still working.
is there any other method then sunshine ? Because currently I can't buy it now.
And I don't want to wait...
Why should there be only one option ( sunshine) to take s off ?
Is it that hard to code a working programm ?

No disrespect mate but it looks like you underestimate the amount of work, time and knowledge needed to:
find a security hole and how to exploit it so you can grant s-off
do it again everytime HTC updates their firmware to patch these security holes
code everything so the average user can achieve s-off using an automated program
maintain everything (program, servers, website)
This have nothing to do with C# programming you can learn at high school to make your own calculator
So to answer your question, Yes its probably hard to do
