Root ADB Issue

You can start over with no issue so dont worry, you will be fine. I can see that in the instructions if you are newer the "" that were around things and other - and such can mess people up. I removed that from the above instructions and it may get over your issue. Just make sure to type things out as it shows. Dont put " around words or the - in front of the cp in those steps. (no worries I removed them from the above instructions so follow that) They were in the original instructions and I think it may cause a bit of confusion for some.

OK, I had this issue this morning and I think it was the way the directions were written. Its fine to start over so no worries at all here.

OK, so now that you know the files are in the androidsdk/tools dir we should be good.

Open up the cmd propt again and get yourself to the androidsdk/tools directory again. Once there, confirm your phone is connected by typing in adb devices. You should see your phone attached identified by a string of numbers. Once you know that the phone is showing then type the following:
(make sure you are in the android/tools directory then:

Step 1: type: adb push exploid /sqlite_stmt_journals
Step 2: type: adb shell
Step 3: type: cd sqlite_stmt_journals
Step 4: type: chmod 755 exploid
Step 5: type: ./exploid
Step 6: type: rootshell
Step 7: type in password secretlol
Step 8: Your should be in root
Step 9: Mount your sdcard to pc and put Superuser.apk and su in the sdcard
Step 10: unmount sdcard
Step 11: Go back to cmd prompt (if you have not left you can start right from where you are. (Make sure you can see the # sign)
Step 11: type: cp /sdcard/Superuser.apk /system/app/Superuser.apk
Step 12: type: cp /sdcard/su /system/bin/su
Step 12: type: chmod 4755 /system/bin/su

If you need to. Download the hack files again, unzip and drop them in the tools directory again and replace them.

I am using a 64 bit version of Windows 7 on my end and I am not seeing these issues. Dang it, I want you to get root now!

On Step One:

Step 1: type: adb push exploid /sqlite_stmt_journals

Are you able to get exploid to push? From the screenshot it looks like you didnt push exploid to your phone.

so you purposely have a space after the word exploid and before /?

OK, so we know that the exploid file is on your phone. Keep following the rest of the instructions and see if it still says the file isnt there.

**Yes, there are some on purpose spaces between certain lines of code and commands. Make sure to always include the spaces or . and things like that.

GOOD that means you are in shell and that is what you should see (its like the command prompt). Keep going and you will get this done. Follow the instructions line by line.

after rootshell it said permission denied.


what about this from the original diercetions

"On your phone, navigate to a screen where you can switch wifi/bluetooth on/off easily (settings, or a home screen with a widget)
IMMEDIATELY after executing the next step, toggle wifi or bluetooth off and back on"

ok i am at step 9 with mounting SD card....ill wait further instructions...

do you mean go into usb mass storage mode to move those files in therE?

i appreciate this guys!
 
bumpylemon said:
i dont have a mounting option...i have a usb mass storage mode...is that mounting?
Click to expand...

Yes, exactly.

That should allow you to see the phone like a flash drive. Just drop the su and Superuser.apk files right straight on the drive, then change the phone back to charge only (which will unmount), the go back to the cmd prompt and follow those last few instructions and you are there.

Dont put them in a folder, just on the main home dir of the drive. I just dragged them over to the (name of the drive) E drive and it put them right there. You should be able to see them right away.

Make sure they drop onto the drive and not in another folder.
