101 XS root

[meimeimei]

Hello,

As expected the 101 XS is quite easy to root. Please note that this method of exploitation has been around for some time.

Go to some ADB shell:

---*---
rm /data/misc/smb/fusesmb.conf
ln -s /data/local.prop /data/misc/smb/fusesmb.conf
---*---

Then reboot the device.

ADB shell again:

---*---
echo "ro.kernel.qemu=1" > /data/local.prop
---*---

After another reboot ADB shell will drop You right into a #root shell.

Don t forget to clean up (rm /data/local.prop; rm /data/misc/smb/fusesmb.conf) afterwards !


nice day,


meimei

For those who dont know:

On the Archos 101 XS "/system" is stored in some SQUASHFS which can be found within "androidmerged.squashfs.secure".

So it is not possible to simply remount /system rw and copy the "su" binary !!!

Hello,
After : ---*---
echo "ro.kernel.qemu=1" > /data/local.prop
---*---

How Copy the "su" binary ? Where find it ?
and How do to remount /system ?

 

[meimeimei]

this isnt that easy.

* first You need to extract kernel and cpio from kernel file
* then You need to re-flash it to "sde" and enable sde menu

* afterwards .. You could hopefully flash a rooted firmware with added su and some modified storage

somebody has to do the job ...
