Root First attempt at rooting

k again tried something thunder suggested this:


C:\souproot\android-sdk-windows\tools>adb shell
# mount -o rw,remount -t rfs /dev/block/stl10 /system
mount -o rw,remount -t rfs /dev/block/stl10 /system
# exit
exit

C:\souproot\android-sdk-windows\tools>adb push update.zip /system/
2189 KB/s (1394833 bytes in 0.622s)

C:\souproot\android-sdk-windows\tools>adb push passwd.txt /etc/passwd
2 KB/s (107 bytes in 0.035s)

Though it still don't have Su.

run the soup first and once it is done hit enter for a fresh command line...type adb shell
then type su
should have su at that point
 
so i found soup is a hidden file on your c drive..if you want to push anything from adb after you have used it you need to put that file in the tools folder souproot/android-sdk-windows/tools

when they say apply update to sdcard they are referring to the internal..now ive pushed a few thing to sdcard and its telling me it completed but when i check the directory fromadb its not there...i thought i was getting somewhere

it creats the folder and files on the C drive each time its run. So if you change one of its files on C: it just overwrites it with its own file the next time you run it.
 
Well you talking in ADB or in Terminal rjsweesy?

And if I have temp root, and I get SU what would that really allow me to really do?
 
Meh sorry Rjsweesy i was tired lol. I got what you ment. What I was meaning is I still can't get SU to work on the phone period. Like sure in ADB it works, but in terminal it never works. The only thing I got it to do was based on what Thunder said, yet I still couldn't get the password to work for reasons beyond me. I typed the exact code in, and it came out different. I would probably have to have a perfect example to follow.

ohhhhh no i get it :rolleyes: lol

this phone is crazy...im seeing that its the only droid on the market currently with a 2011 build, probably why we cant find much on this

there are literally 6 of us trying to hack this thing
 
I got Su to work on terminal now, typed in the exact same code, and for some reason it worked this time. Though i'm not sure what that allows me to do.....
 
Silvist: Are you seeing update.zip from cwm recovery when you're trying to update? Are you succeeding in updating? Could you provide exact syntax that made su work on yours?

...the better it will feel when we finally do :)
 
Have you guys looked at the /etc/permissions folder..... that may have something to do with this crap. I see like handheld_core_hardware.xml and like com.samsung.device.xml

Found the kernel to, but it wouldn't let me zip or copy all the files in the directory.

Simply /sys/kernel

Thanks. By the way, almost forgot: I created a complete backup to sd card from cwm recovery yesterday. if this is of interest, I could look up the contents of the above directories...
 
in your handheld_core_hardware.xml I see this string:
"devices with WiFi must also include android.hardware.wifi.xml"

have we tried looking at the file?

swm?

just mounted sd card to computer but not seeing any backups while I know they have been created, for it took a while for the task to complete yesterday. any idea where they go? if on internal storage, is it possible to pull them with adb?
