Root Soooo trying to re-root my phone

I just did the restore to stock via CWM from the link you provided.

Rebooted my computer into Ubuntu 13.04.

Disconnected USB.

Set phone :
Connectivity > Default Connection Mode > Internet via Ethernet
Applications > Development > USB Debugging (note, you cant change this while usb is connected)

opened a terminal in the tool from here :Security Research by Dan Rosenberg

ran ./run.sh

Once it was finished, adb reboot recovery put me in CWM.



Tbh, I'm not sure what you're doing wrong... But It's gotta be on your end.


....now to flash TWRP and restore my phone :p



*edit*

The restore went fine... While I'm here, would you like to me check to make sure that cab flashing form a VM would work too? Keep in mind, this *is* my DD still.

HA!!!! Hmmmmmmmmmm......Script has it that way.....hmmmmm did not think about that one....but you notice in the shell, it reports back without the quotes. If it was going to be wrong wrong, it should add in the quotes saying it either doesn't recognize " or that it doesn't understand the whole string



But it is curious

If you are running/typing the commands interactively at the adb shell prompt, don't type the quotes. That would cause definitely cause a Not Found error.

The Plot thickens
Code: 
 ./adb.linux shell
$ "echo 'ro.kernel.qemu=1' > /data/local.prop"
echo 'ro.kernel.qemu=1' > /data/local.prop: not found
$ exit
rich@rich ~/spectrum_root_linux_osx $ adb remount
adb server is out of date.  killing...
* daemon started successfully *
remount failed: Operation not permitted

What if I drag the newest adb from the sdk inside this folder....it means that calling ./adb.linux is null it would just be ./adb then command


hmmmmmmm

Nevermind figured out what that meant....I dunno....what is the deal?!!??

NAHHH Don't go to the VM....


Do me a favor tho....since you are now to this point, look in /Data and tell me if you have anything in there....cuz...I don't
 
So here is what I got doing exactly like you did Yoinx:

Code: 
rich@rich ~ $ cd spectrum_root_linux_osx/
rich@rich ~/spectrum_root_linux_osx $ ./run.sh

Its as if the whole OS is in need of a chmod as in from /

you can see right after Device Found that the link fails

I am in Linux Mint now, I have an Ubuntu machine that I may try all this in and see if something is just tweaked wrong in Mint that is not in straight up ubuntu....but not tonite.....if you guys think of any other code I can throw at it put it here....remember too, this is my DD....unfortunately GRRR....so when we get all this crap figured out, we need to make a sticky and file it somewhere.
 
Tbh, I'd just make a bartpe disk if you can (or obtain one). And just boot a live copy of Windows and cab flash from there.

Neph that has to be the way that the scripting works because in thinking about that cmd and the others before, in the script, it calls adb shell before the "rm..... and the "ln..... so yes, this is needed. Other commands within the folder work correctly without the "" such as ~$ ./adb.linux reboot and ./adb.linux kill-server ./adb.linux start-server
Click to expand...
Trust me, you don't need the " " . The script calls it out because it's doing shell commands from the terminal window. If you're in the shell, you don't need the " " . If you look at your own posts, a few up, you were getting results without it and now that you're using it, you are getting more errors.

Nevah I will nevah leave the dark side.... Nevah I tell you lol. Dude, when we started rooting these things moons ago, a couple people made tools that were Linux based. In the beginning, they didn't work right. I basically, suggestion of someone is here, took the all in one bat file and line by line converted it into Linux commands and rooted my phone. Command line.. I am not afraid of

So it worked? You're good to go now?

No didn't work....this was from the first time I rooted

Yeah, Like I said before man... It sounds like something didn't go right in your return to stock from CWM process.

You might be SoL unless you can either do a live windows disk, a vm, or find a utility that will do whatever the kp500 tool does in windows, under linux.
 
It's like trying to dig a hole with a spoon when you can go to your neighbor and borrow a shovel to make the job easier. Why make it harder on yourself? :D
 
Some people just do not like Windows. I can tell you that on my laptop, I run linux more than I run Windows. If more software, that I use daily, was ported over, I'd never run Windows myself.

Wine runs a lot of windows stuff well. For what I do with art and music production, djing etc it rocks
 
We may be out of luck with a BartPE disk. I'm having a bear of a time getting the LG tool to install in the virtual environment. I'm still plucking away at it though.

Sos have you looked through this old thread? http://androidforums.com/spectrum-a...-in-one-recovery-tool-mirror.html#post4480565

If you're still on V6/GB, someone mentioned that the ICS/JB exploit won't work. Check this old thread for at least some details on the old GB exploit. Is this the script you are using?

Thanks for finding that...I'll try it.....I think I already have the latest but....it won't hurt just to see if there is something different.


Neph!!!! Thanks for working on that for me!!

Thanks everyone for trying to help me get back to the darkside LOL

Are you trying to include it in the disc or install once you're booted?

Both, and neither work properly. It's been ages since I've used BartPE or UBCD4WIN. Add the drivers is mostly straight forward. It's getting the LG tool to play nice that is the issue.

Sosaudio:
What are the chances that you have a spare partition that you can just install XP on for a few days? I ask because XP can be run for 30 days as a demo without a CD key and that would be long enough restore your phone to stock. After that, you can blow away that partition like nothing happened.
