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!

Thanks for the speedy reply @jcase! I accidentally closed the telnet terminal after I finished that part of the process, but here's all the ADB content.

Typo, it is uevent_helper not uvent_helper

You're right, but I actually already caught that (actually adb shell told me...)
Here's the unabridged version:

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.

Rooted through ARHD and attempting to go S-Off using Firewater

And then it stops there, where it should go on to the warning. Can anyone help?
Maybe if you post in the m8 forum you might get better help?

I could be wrong but are you not supposed to do the 'su' command before the 'chmod' command?
Hi guys......
I have Butterfly s 901e with HBOOT 1.57, when I tried to s-off with firewater, I didn't get anything while in the process..... when I made the last step ([email protected]:/ # chmod 755 /data/local/tmp/firewater then [email protected]:/ # /data/local/tmp/firewater), I got nothing.... I tried to check data/local/tmp manually in ES File Explorer to see what is going on, I noticed that after pushing firewater through adb it will appear in the TMP folder and after executing [email protected]:/ # chmod 755 /data/local/tmp/firewater then [email protected]:/ # /data/local/tmp/firewater the firewater file just disappear from TMP folder, and nothing is starting....
please help.

Did you do "adb reboot, then adb wait-for-device push firewater /data/local/tmp" before the other commands?

Also, if you did any updates with your OTA, this will not work!
I used Sunshine, and paid the $25 to have them help me, it was the best 5 mins of my life!
After you get frustrated and try Firewater a few dozen times... head over to theroot.ninja and pay the $25 dollars... TOTALLY WORTH IT!!

I fought and fought with adb, rooting, and s-off and Im well versed in adb etc. Just do yourself a favor, pay the $25 fee and go with sunshine. Its expensive but will save you so much headache

I had no problem dropping the 25 bones for the S off. Those guys work hard and I was having a headache trying firewater which wouldn't work for me. It's easy and imo the $25 was worth it.
At&t user here saying "just do it"
You will sleep better after spending $25 and easily gain S-OFF
