Root First attempt at rooting

[nickrussel]

hey, you guys, take a look at this: Soup or Root's Official Blog!!

there is the latest souproot 2.04 2.05 2.06, etc. up for download. So far, I've tried 2.04 and am now I'm trying 2.06. Had to run it twice now, still no superuser app in the list Will give it some more testing again tomorrow.

Be sure that everything extracts to c:\souproot folder, otherwise it does some weird sh$t...

Was askin what SWM is. I realize its custom recovery, but I thought we were using CWM. Also here's all the persmissions:

2shared - download permissions.rar

ah, my bad: cwm of course. fixed.

 

[nickrussel]

Also found this randomly searching:

2shared - download nandread

what extension is missing there? This file comes with no extension. I've tried rar, zip and exe...

 

[ickster]

there are literally 6 of us trying to hack this thing

And dozens of us (not as smart ? LOL) hanging on every word.

 

[Silvist]

system/bin/nandread is the file path where I found it. I figure it might have to do with the nand.

I'm downloading the R910 source and am going to attempt to compile a clockworkmod kernel. See where we go

I can already adb shell to my phone then su to root thru my previous entries on this thread.

 

[rjsweesy]

this nand thing has something to do with the bootloader

 

[rjsweesy]

no luck fellas

 

[Silvist]

Just wished superuser worked with that Lightning. Its probably like ya said about permissions or verifcation that prevents its installation. But your work around was great for su. Thanks again.

 

[LightningTH]

Only trying to help. My work computer is downloading the 2.5gb source tree. Tomorrow ill setup a background compile to get a core compile then ill compile what samsung released. Once that finishes then I can work on getting clockworkmod in the kernel and hopefully someone can test it for me (can't flash and lose my phone and no second one to test on unlike some of you).

Ill test it out for you sir...will it be odin flashable?

 

[Silvist]

Thanks again Lightning. Don't work to hard, this can be brain wracking.

rjsweesy: that's the idea, see how long it takes. It may be a few days depending on build time and any debugging required inbetween my normal programming job.

no worries man, whenever you get it going

anyone tested the new superoneclick v 1.7 that jsut came out? It reports success on all stages of rooting, including testing the su but root-required apps still fail to load

yep

super one click, z4, galaxy one click and among others....with no avail

ive been reading over the nexus s threads..alot of those guys seem to have the same issues we do
my only thing is i cant the phone into bootloader mode to try a few things

 

[nickrussel]

I'm currently looking at these two threads with their settings.apk from 2.2:
Skinned Settings.apk for Froyo

where can i find the settings.apk

finding more when googling this way:
download Settings.apk 2.2 - Google Search

 

[nickrussel]

Just talked to a friend of mine who'd upgraded from 2.2 to 2.2.1 and can't root the phone ever since. he calls it a firmware-level restriction and his phone is not samsung. hence, maybe we should expand our search beyond our make/model that has almost 0 knowledgebase...

yes, I noticed. this is actually somewhat of the good news for us in terms of joining efforts. What do you mean you can't get the phone into the bootloader menu? did you get cwm going?

 

[nickrussel]

hey Mike, Silvist! Any word from whoever was going to try and crack the wpa2 code on one of these phones?

 

[Silvist]

You talking for the VPN access or for Wifi tethering?

 

[LightningTH]

I've got the base froyo kernel compiled, roughly 60mb. Tomorrow ill get the froyo source that samsung provided compiled up. See what happens.

if you have the option to disable the boot lock in the kernel that would be awesome...from what im reading thats what triggers the lock

if you finish tomorrow hit me up, i have an indulge begging for a new kernel

there is a bootloader menu, recovery and download mode...if it has a bootload menu....all the other galaxys seem to have it

if its in bootload we can unlock the system lock which will allow us to root easily
