Root Development thread

what do you need explained? the first and easy way will just be using rage and putting superuser, the second way would be to flash a custom rooted kernel after using rage :D
 
But do we just copy and paste that stuff?
Or what do i need to download?
Im sorry if this is at all bothersum but im super excited about people taking interest and hacking this fone! And i am fairly new to adb ad dont know anything about odin. Im on a mac desktop s adb was the first thing i ever tried.
 
ah well rigth now thats just info for devs its good to know teh mount points, shame tho samsung threw a curveball and used stl10.. i am rather worried they may have changed the bmls around...
 
Oh its dev's stuff! Ok ill keep my posts on here to bare minimum then. Dont want to interfeir. (Sorry HS-drop out cant spell :-) )

Edit; oh and thank u soooo much for ur guys help for indulge owners u are a god send!
 
ok thanks to silvist we managed to get a lot of ground covered today, figured out most of the partition mappings, figured out how we are gunna do it all. got a kernel dev working on a pre-rooted kernel. working on getting cwm all set up but thats gunna be a big hurdle for me :D
 
*le sigh* just waiting for the kernel... if anyone that has used odin before could figure out what version they were using etc or just upload it that would be great
 
Ok just for a quick update, we have odin working :) (dont use it to dump, but we can use it to flash) we have a stock kernel, pit, modem, lte modem, and we have a /system dump but its "tainted" in the sense that it has the bloat removed etc etc, gunna see if we cant get a virgin dump where its just the stock phone. once we have that this phone can be labeled as almost unbrickable. the kernel dev we have looking at stuff says yalls kernel is filled to the brim, we are working on clearing out some of the stuff in there to make space and we hit a snag with regards to superuser gunna try talking to some people and see if we cant get some magic working :D
 
wifi tether works, after it get root access the first time, turn it off close the app then reconnect it and it works but, if u click on certain download links in firefox and internet explorer, the links dont work, for example a torrent file being click on to download to utorrent just stalls out and eventually says check connection but web pages load quick and fine while connected to wifi tether but it is fast compared to 3g tether, my opinion, detroit...............

well i will have to try again cuz when i open my browser it says page cannot be displayed but on my tray bar it shows its connected.
 
Make sure you update your computer drivers if you trying to tether say your laptop to your samsung indulge. I tested it last night on an older laptop worked fine, then i tried with my high end win 7 x64 and I had problems. Reading the info the developer of the app had on the web, i troubleshooted it. In the end all it was just my drivers. They were only outdated by a year, but that made a huge difference for tethering with this app.
