Tried to Root G2 (S-ON)

If on Recovery, it says S-ON, is that a Problem?

If it says S-ON, you don't have permaroot. Did you follow the guide in the wiki?

I watched a Video from BlackPrince310. I got far into it, until I had to use the Terminal. I'm not sure what Wiki are you talking about.. Link?

YouTube *really* shouldn't be the go to for things like this, unless you like bricks. This guide is by the folks who actually engineered the hack: http://forum.xda-developers.com/wik...sion#Rooting_the_Vision_.28G2.2FDZ.29_and_DHD

oh alright, Thank You OriginalGabriel.
But is rage an adb command or an app from the Market?

and where would the HTC G2 Drivers have to be installed?

If you've used adb (eg. you have the SDK installed on your computer), then you have the drivers already installed. Otherwise, unzip the file and when you plug your computer into your phone, point the hardware wizard to the folder that you unzipped
Rage is an included binary in gfree_temp-root.zip

Got it Thank You.
I got to where I have to use ADB, and while trying to $ adb push su /sdcard/su
It won't let allow me, it'll say access denied. (I've even put adb shell before that command)

I type in adb shell:
*daemon not running. starting it now on port 5037*
*daemon started successfully* and then any other command I type after that is Denied

on your phone be sure you have menu>settings>applications>development>usb debugging checked (on)

I do. Using this Tutorial: http://forum.xda-developers.com/wik...sion#Rooting_the_Vision_.28G2.2FDZ.29_and_DHD
I got all the way to the Permaroot Section. When I have to issue these commands:
# cd /data/local
# chmod 777 gfree
# ./gfree -f
#sync
my phone reset before I got to type sync.
And before I got the chance to type the next lines of text, I had to turn on my phone issued them and got an error message of file exists and something else. I Booted my phone and it still says SHIP S-ON

After you do the temp root, shut down adb (I am using a windows machine so I ctrl alt del and find it in task manager and shut it down that way) It should restart by itself when you do the perm root commands. ( you probably know this, but don't enter the # sign, it should be there by itself)

Thank You sooo much! I got the S-Off now finally, thank you very much!
Is there anything else I should do before I decided to Install a Custom ROM? Can I install a ROM from this Recovery? or Do I need to do a further step. According to the Tutorial I have Perm Root now but I've never used this Recovery before

Download ROM manager from the market, spend the few bucks for the upgrade and then install clockworkmod recovery through ROM Manager (if you haven't done this already). Then, do some more reading about doing a Nandroid backup and you're ready to go! Now, the fun begins....lol!

I don't mind buying ROM Manager Premium but can I do that with the Free Version? I downloaded the Free Version of ROM Manager v3.0.0.7 and when I selected Flash Clockwork Mod Recovery it gave me "an error occurred while attempting to run privileged commands!". Does the Paid Version go past that or am I missing something?

do you have the superuser app now in your applications drawer?
edit: Also, disconnect the phone from the USB. That might give ROM manager a problem accessing your sd card if you're still connected.

yeah I have Superuser Permissions but it FC's when you try to open it

Try uninstalling ROM Manager and after that see if you still get a force close when you try to open Superuser.

On linux, sometimes you need to mess with one of the virtual filesystems for it to see the device. I can't remember how it works now, but you add a file with the manufacturer id and product id.

Cheers for the info is it this what you are on about sudo adb kill-server if so i have tried it and it only shows the device when powerd on i have had a little play this morning before going to work still no joy I really want to unlock this device and flash a better rom than uk's O2 rubbuish but it feels like i am hitting my head against a brick wall. Any how thanks again this community rocks well of to work i go

hello,
I did it last week...
try
Code:
./adb reboot bootloader
the important part if you just unzip the "android/sdk/platform-tools" it that you put "./" before adb and fastboot commands and eventually before folders's paths
Give it a try.

Cheers will give it a try tonight when I get home @ work now and knackered lol

[GUIDE] Rooting your phone...from your phone [ALL US SGS3]

Rooting your phone...from your phone (what?!)
DISCLAIMER: I do not expect anything to go wrong as I have personally tested this. However, YOU are choosing to make these modifications to your phone so I DO NOT take responsibility for any damage that may come as a result of using this. If you come back and point the finger at me, I will laugh at you.
If your phone is not an SGS3, this MAY still work for you. I take absolutely NO responsibility either way.
Prerequisites
The following files are attached to this post for convenience. Download and install the apps, download and extract the zip file somewhere convenient.
Superuser by Koush(MUST be this one. You can change it later if you so desire.)
Terminal Emulator by Jack Palevich ( MUST be this one)
Zip file, extracted somewhere convenient

THE GOODS
These generic names will be used:
/path/to/motochopperDir - This is the full path to the extracted motochopper-mobile DIRECTORY or FOLDER. Example: /sdcard/motochopper-mobile (will vary depending on where you extracted the files).
NOTE: After running the script, Motochopper may or may not print "Failed", but the exploit DOES indeed work regardless of this. Make sure you reboot for changes to take effect.
Click to expand...

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Download the attached zip file AND both apps.
Install Terminal Emulator and Superuser (use a file manager, navigate to the downloaded .apk files and click on each file to install them).
Open up Terminal Emulator and type the following commands. Press the ENTER key after each command.
Code:
cd /path/to/motochopperDir
cat setup.sh > /data/data/jackpal.androidterm/setup.sh
cd /data/data/jackpal.androidterm
chmod 755 setup.sh
./setup.sh /path/to/motochopperDir
From there, my setup.sh script will handle the rest of the process. If you are still unsure, see my sample run below.
Sample run (files were extracted to /sdcard/moto)
Code:
cd /sdcard/moto
cat setup.sh > /data/data/jackpal.androidterm/setup.sh
cd /data/data/jackpal.androidterm
chmod 755 setup.sh
./setup.sh /sdcard/moto
Credits
Motochopper exploit by djrbliss (Dan Rosenburg). Original thread here.
Jack Palevich and Koush for their apps, especially Jack Palevich. This would not be possible without the shared permissions on his app's data directory.

Flash counters, etc?
Will this method increment any of the flash counters, turn on the triangle etc??

No, it will not. That's the point, there's no need to use ODIN.
The Thanks button is just to avoid "THANKS" posts in threads. Nothing more. Don't defeat the purpose of why it was introduced.

Not working on new ATT S3 I747
This tool is not working for me. I have tried several times. I always get a 'failed' msg.
I have a 2 day old brand new S3 i747 from ATT. Stock JB 4.1.1
I extracted the motochopper-mobile.zip files to /storage/sdcard0/moto/.
The setup.sh script is in the /data/data/jackpal.androidterm after it is run. The other moto related files are not there as if the script had run ok.
After the reboot superuser needs a new binary and fails when the binary update is attempted.
All other root sensitive apps fail.
_________________________________________________________________________________________________
FIXED:
I used the download/instructions on the OP on the following link:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2252248
While it does not do all the work from the S3 and must be loaded from a Windows environment , it did the job perfectly.
Flash counter, triangle etc. not triggered!!

Try downloading the files and run it again.
I tested it by deleting my su binary and then I ran this tool and rebooted. And BAM, su was placed in /system once again and superuser was fine.
If it still doesn't work, go to the original Motochopper thread and follow the instructions there using your computer.
The Thanks button is just to avoid "THANKS" posts in threads. Nothing more. Don't defeat the purpose of why it was introduced.

Files are now attached to the OP.

It finely don't brick it though, if you're worried.

Not sure what to do. I was hoping it worked.. did I do something wrong? I even tried installing superuser from the app store and it wasnt updating binaries either.. TitaniumBackup didnt work...

I don't know. Just use the regular method of using ODIN to send a recovery and then flash SU :\

If you extracted to that directory, then the command you need to run is "./setup.sh /storage/extsdcard/motochopperdir"
But first you need to do "cd /data/data/jackpal.androidterm" if you're not already in that directory.

[Guide] [Z1s] for Root For Sony Xperia Z1s T-mobile (C6916)

Hello Everyone! I would like to make a guide for Rooting our Sony Xperia Z1s for T-mobile, I tried this with Android 4.3 Firmware 14.2.C.0.159.
This is my first Post so if i make a mistake please let me Know.
Thanks to Jcase and his pwn file to make this root Posible.
This is just the way how i did it and worked for me.
I AM NOT RESPOSIBLE FOR BRICKED DEVICES, THIS IS JUST A GUIDE FOR THOSE WHO DON'T KNOW HOW TO USE THE JCASE EXPLOID.
Requirements:
Well, first of all you have to make sure that your computer have the correct adb drivers installed and you can go into it.
Debugging mode On. (Developer options, USB Debugging Checked)
Download the JCASE pwn (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=53407127&postcount=1004)
Download the Adb Drivers Updated (http://www.mediafire.com/download/41lx6p71xxit1ax/ADB+Drivers_Updated.zip) Thanks to Droidextra.org, UJJWAL KUMAR.
Process:
1- With the two zip files downloaded you will unzip it in the Local Disk (C), Create a folder with a name like "Root Tool" And unzip the files there, just like these: Check attached picture.
2- Press Shift on the keyboard and right click and then "open a Command Prompt here"
3- Check if your Sony Xperia Z1s its working well in the adb typing: adb devices. If it says failed, you have to check your adb drivers, if not, you're going good.
4- So if all its going well, just type this on command prompt (Thanks JCASE)
adb push pwn /data/local/tmp/pwn
adb shell chmod 755 /data/local/tmp/pwn
adb shell /data/local/tmp/pwn
5- wait for the adb to finish.
6- Unplug you're phone and restart it.
7- Install Super Su apk (Can download it from Play Store or latest Apk)
8- Open SuperSu and update binarys with Normal Mode
Now you must be Root, if SuperSu can't update Binarys try again from 2.
If you are not able to Write to system try this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...57358331140130
If this works for you please say thanks to Jcase who made this can be possible.

I tried this but nothing happens I attached what happens in cmd

Sorry about that, SuperSu its giving to you this error because the rooting it's not done, please check that your phone its adb recognizable with "adb devices" in CMD, Remember to Unistall Super Su if you get the error and Reboot in order to try again.

Okay so after working at this for a couple of hours I finally got it to work. For some reason, I wasn't able to uninstall SuperSu because it had been installed as a system app and I could only disable it, or uninstall updates from it. After trying over and over, I found this link.

Here, they include the exact same method in this thread, with one extra step; creating a boot script to maintain root/system permissions. Im not exactly sure how it works, but i followed the instructions provided by the links and then, after rebooting, was able to install binaries, and achieve full root (FINALLY!!) So if anybody has the same problem I did, try this out

Nice! I'm happy To heard that! JCase said in his post that some people will have this problem to write to system, but in my case i was able to, now we have to find a working recovery in order to have a custom rom or something like that, Some people say that xzdualrecovery works for z1s, but it is in beta version, if you find something please let us know.

Hey Thanks for Reply, that's the reason because i said de Final Acces, because we can acces to bootloader because branded phones can't have bootloader unlocked.:fingers-crossed:

Has anyone taken the update? Will we lose root?

I did not lose root. I check the box in SuperSU to try to retain root.
Kept root, now I just have to fix all the issues 4.4 has created.

This is my first Post so if i make a mistake please let me Know.
Thanks to Jcase and his pwn file to make this root Posible.
This is just the way how i did it and worked for me.

2- Press Shift on the keyboard and right click and then "open a Command Prompt here"
3- Check if your Sony Xperia Z1s its working well in the adb typing: adb devices. If it says failed, you have to check your adb drivers, if not, you're going good.
4- So if all its going well, just type this on command prompt (Thanks JCASE)
adb push pwn /data/local/tmp/pwn
adb shell chmod 755 /data/local/tmp/pwn

Hello, three commands you wrote down. Do I need to write them exactly like that with a space in between each line and then enter? Or do I need to type one command and then ENTER after each command?
Thanks in advance
