i have tried but terminal hangs on "waiting on phone" :/ after step 6have you try that root guide mochakingman
just stoppin in to say hi, the kernel root will only work so long as you guys are on gb. and a little birdy told me you guys might be getting an upgrade to ics.
i never said that, my point was the kernel i have will not work on ics. but i mean either way once ics comes out unless you guys get root on that version you guys will be SOL without CWM. and since that is a very very very faint pipedream you guys might be up there with teh second metro phone that never got root (first being coolpad quattro )
Anyone have a reliable root method for Samsung Attain 4g on METROpcs?
please dont post this it is for a different phone
i thought the attain was not root able shabby you sed so so how it has root but admire 4g giving us such a hard time
On this device i have said i have a possible root method. if it works then you guys could have what might be your only shot at root. :/
Well isn't that a big pile of sadness. I'll still be willing to guinea pig my phone for anyone who has potential ideas.
Thanks for all the help
i never said the attain was unrootable. i said it doesnt have CWM. the reason why the attain got root at least is because they had people willing to test stuff. they got root and stopped caring so cwm progress slowed down and then we stopped careing (we as in my team). now on this device i have said i have a possible root method. if it works then you guys could have what might be your only shot at root.
that was 2 weeks ago, since then no one has bothered. there isnt much more i can do. you guys have the phone, we dont, so we cant test anything.
there is a few ways phones get root. you have an exploit that you ifnd in the phone and use that to gain escalated privileges in shell, this is what most of your usual roots are. they may use different exploits and how they attack but the general concept is the same. the more common way for samsung devices is via a custom recovery/kernel since they have unlocked bootloaders and can use odin. what is great about rooting via custom recovery is no matter what updates you get you can still root.
the problem with custom kernels is they require a ramdisk, which the only way to get that is by unpacking from stock kernel. only way to get stock kernel is hope someone at samsung leaks it, or you use root and pull it off.
sinc emost of teh exploits have been patched and fixed that really leaves you with a custom kernel/recovery method. so if someone could be kind enough to get root, so they could pull kernel off for everyone else i can unpack it and get root for yall. see the conflicting cycle with that? :/
I have hooked my phone up to commander and been able to pull apks and things off so is there a way that i can pull the kernel off with it? i've been waiting on root so that i can put my themed apks back so let me know where i can find the kernel and i'll try to get it out of there for us
no you need root to pull the kernels.
it may very well be that poot works. if thats teh case then you guys dont have teh same cpu as teh attain and i actually might be able to do recovery for yall
Will this work
You have to try it he don't have this phone to test on. If you don't want to i will at 5 when my wife gets home.
