Hi Friends,
I recently bought a Videocon A20 - with Android 2.3.5, and I have been unable to ROOT it.
I have tried with One Click, Un-Root, Adb-shell etc. Nothing seems to work.
It was so easy to ROOT with a Samsung Galaxy Y also my Karbonn A9+ (this was much easier)
But this Videocon V20 is more stuborn than a MULE ........:crying:
Anyone out there Can help me ?
PS: I have been able to get ADB Shell access and I get a "$" prompt and not "#" prompt, this means that - su will not work.
All the above applications are able to push - superuser application however the phone is not rooted.
CAN SOMEONE PLEASE HELP ME ????
Videocon A20
I am Having the same problem.
please tell me if you know the solution anytime.

Download z4root.apk(google it!!!) And extract the apk with your fav. Decompression tool.Go to res>raw
And you will find a file named rageitagainstthecage .
Now make a folder in C drive of any desired name (make sure that folder name doesn't contain space) and place the above file in this folder.
Now path should look like this:
C:\(foldername)\ rageitagainstthecage
Now attach your phone to pc with adb enabled and start command prompt and type the following commands and press enter after each command:
cd ..
cd ..
cd yourfoldername
adb push rageitagainstthecage /data/tmp/local/
adb shell "chmod 775 /data/tmp/local/rageitagainstthecage"
adb shell "./data/tmp/local/ rageitagainstthecage"
Now the exploit will run and after the completion of exploit,restart your phone and again attach the phone to pc and the you can push the su binary and app in following way(assuming that you have su and Superuser.apk in your folder located in c drive)
adb shell "mount -o remount rw /system "
adb push su /system/bin/
adb push Superuser.apk /system/app/
adb shell "chmod 775 /system/bin/su"
adb shell "chmod 775 /system/app/Superuser.apk"
Now time to check if ir worked
adb shell
su
If you see "#" instead of "$", your phone is rooted!!!!
BEST OF LUCK!!!!

when it endterd to push the file it is displayng that adb not found.
Download adb binary(google it) and place all the downloaded files in system32/64 folder!
And then try it!
A simple solution if you are lucky
Well i have one simple solution for you .. I dont know A20 is mediatech or not . So if it is an MTk device then all you have to do is pull the stock recovery from your android and then provide it here
then i will compile a CWM bessed on that and then you will have CWM on your device and u can flash any su binary in zip and you will find it in my post ...
So if you r lucky then u will get the both CWM and root .. Otherwise bro without device i cant help ..
To pull your recovery type this in adb
adb shell
$su
#dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p13 of=/sdcard/recovery.img
you will have ur stock recovery in sdcard . it might be around 6.144mb or close ... but not greater that 10 mb

Alright all,
I know there's another thread about "easier" method, but this is easiest for me. 3-Clicks after installation.
I was really tired of typing the same crap over and over after rebooting just to get my temproot back to do more testing/playing.
So I redeveloped this to be quicker/easier upon reboot. Mainly I altered the Term app to be have a scripted start-up on the 1st 3 launches.
I also updated the su/Superuser combo with ChainDD's latest stuff.
Here's how it works, after it's installed.
3ClickTempRooter said:
1) You run the terminal app once, wait a few seconds and it disappears.
2) You run the terminal again, wait for it to FC.
3) You run the terminal a final time and receive root.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Now on each reboot, it will be simply 3-clicks (running terminal app 3 times).
Finally ... any executable script placed in /data/local/tmp will be in the path of the new terminal mod. This makes running other scripts very easy.
Installation
Download the attached QuickTempRooter.zip and place it in a directory and unpack it.
Turn on USB debugging and install through adb ...
Here's the adb installation snippet ...
Code:
adb kill-server
adb push su /sdcard/su
adb push Superuser.apk /sdcard/Superuser.apk
adb push busybox /data/local/tmp/busybox
adb push rage /data/local/tmp/rage
adb push root /data/local/tmp/root
adb shell chmod 0755 /data/local/tmp/busybox
adb shell chmod 0755 /data/local/tmp/rage
adb shell chmod 0755 /data/local/tmp/root
adb shell 'pm uninstall com.android.term'
adb install Term.apk
Has made my life wayyy easier when playing with this phone while we wait for the real-deal!!!
Hope you enjoy!
NOTES
If you get a permission denied on the ''adb shell 'pm uninstall com.android.term' '' ... this is normal if you don't have a terminal already installed or have an alternate terminal app (using a namespace other than com.android.term.
If you have another Terminal App installed, you may want to uninstall it first, to avoid confusion.
Also, you may need to reboot after the initial installation for it to work properly!
ummmmm.....Enomther??
Did you get a G2 already?
Great to see you helping out with this
Great to see you here man! Trying this now can't wait to get themes rolling once we get permanent root!

Sorry, this is my first Android. I came from WM and I was pretty good with it.
I've searched XDA, Youtube, and web to ADB and SDK. I've downloaded it and it's installed. The only thing I don't get is when you said to
"Download the attached QuickTempRooter.zip and place it in a directory and unpack it."
You mean place the extracted files into the sd card correct? That's why the command is "adb push su /sdcard/su".

No, he means on your PC. You are running adb to push files contained in the zip to your phone.

If you have better terminal, you can also add the rage and root to specific keys.
At this command I'm getting told "failed to copy 'su' to '/sdcard/su': Read-only file system"
adb push su /sdcard/su

Good work, Temp root in like 5 seconds
Quick question, ok I was able to get root for a few mins, then it went away I guess I have to have the terminal always open or ignore so my taskiller doesnt terminated it?
Don't use task killers. (IMHO)
But I tend to have to reboot every once in a while to keep root in tacked within terminal but all my apps seem to stay with su permissions until reboot (or sometimes 12 hours)

The new YouTube.apk just needs to be placed in '/system/app'. What I did was remove the original YouTube.apk and put the new one in its place and voila. Here is the method adapted for Windows (I think it's all right for Windows). This is also assuming you rooted with a one click root that included the remount script and that you have adb on your computer (the one click rooter should have adb included with it).
1. in the cmd prompt, go to the folder where you have adb and type:
Code:
adb.exe shell
2. inside shell:
Code:
$ su
# remount rw
# mkdir /sdcard/backup
# cp /system/app/YouTube.apk /sdcard/backup
# rm /system/app/YouTube.apk
# exit
$ exit
3. now in the cmd prompt again:
Code:
adb.exe push \path\to\YouTube.apk /system/app
4. Reboot the phone.

ok i get to remount rw but the when i type in the nect code it says
mkdir falied for /sdcard/backup read-only filesystem
I install it using terminal emulator.
All I do is type
Su
#rm /system/app/YouTube.apk
#cp /sdcard/DirectoryWithTheYoutubeApp/YouTube.apk /
system/app
Or after you rm, just use the "My Files" app and go on your sdcard and click YouTube.apk and it'll install and work fine. But remember to sign out of youtube before you close it by going to your page and clicking sign out or else it'll keep force closing after you start it up.
I hope I helped...

you guys are gonna freaking kill me. ALL THE TROUBLE I WAS HAVING WAS BECAUSE I HAD MY SDCARD MOUNTED THE WHOLE TIME I WAS TRYING TO DO THIS THE MINUTE I TRIED IT WITHOUT IT BEING MOUNTED IT WORKED...IM SO DUMB!!!!! LOL BUT THANKS FOR THE HELP ALL OF U!!!!!! U GUYS ROCK!!!! N SO DOES THE NEW UTUBE APP .....BTW I UNDERSTAND UR NOT SUPPOSED TO SIGN IN TO IT RIGHT???
I just uninstalled the original, put the modded youtube.apk in the SDX backup folder and installed (restored) it with SDX stock app remover. Simple, fast and no typing required.
Glad you got it worked out though.
me 2!!! this app rocks
Glad it's working! Having the SD card mounted while trying to adb is a common mistake and always a good first troubleshooting check.
I'm trying the rage root method after reading up on all the stuff. I managed to get adb installed and connected, but i can't use adb actions.
I type in c\androidsdk\tools\adb shell
$ su
$ SUermission denied
even without su, if i try to type "adb push su /sdcard/su" it says adb permission denied.
I have kept my phone screen on as per another thread, but i do not get a prompt that asks for adb permissions. Am i missing an app or something? I do have debugging and screen awke both on.
I have placed the g2 root folder in the androidsdk\tools\ folder, both just the files and the entire folder just to be sure.
Obviously I'm new to adb, so If i'm doing something completely wrong just let me know.
as long as you're not rooted (temp or perma) you can't use "su" in adb-commands... If you tell a little more about what you're trying to push, then I can help some more
Im just trying to root the phone with rage since visionary seems unreliable.
Im trying to adb push the su/ sdcard/su as per the first line of instruction in the rage temp root guide
hehe... I used the visionary root, and it have worked good for me btw, I think you should've posted in the rage-thread instead of opening a new topic, but now it's already opened so here it goes
firstly... are you sure you're in the right folder, and have the folder "su" in there?
If so, don't go into "adb shell"... use the lines exactly as stated in the OP. adb inside an adb shell won't give the results you want... Post back if it doesn't work
$ adb push su /sdcard/su
$ adb push Superuser.apk /sdcard/Superuser.apk
$ adb push rage /data/local/tmp/rage
$ adb push busybox /data/local/tmp/busybox
$ adb push root /data/local/tmp/root
$ adb shell chmod 0755 /data/local/tmp/*
Click to expand...

I don't think Im using adb right then, how do I just type in "adb push ...?" If I do that, it just says that the command is not recognized internally or externally.
For example,
Adb push su/ sdcard/su
gives me that error.
I've tried to set a path directly to adb, but that didn't work, so I was manually going
AndroidSKD\tools\ Adb push su/ sdcard/su but that also didnt work.
I don't have the $ prompt without shell, is that wrong?
I'm pretty sure Im in the right folder, as androidsdk\tools\adb gives me the adb directory, just nothing else works. What exactly does SU folder mean? I have the su file in the tools folder, dont know about the su folder.
Ok, my adb stuff is in c:\tools .. so when I first open command prompt, I have to type this:
cd c:\tools
That puts me into the correct folder. If yours is in C, then you'd probably have to do this:
cd c:\androidsdk\tools
Then type:
adb devices
It should at least give you SOME sort of output, either with your device number (if it's connected, and adb is working properly), or just say devices, with no numbers (incorrectly)

Do it exactly as written here

FYI you will not see the $ symbol. that just indicated the next line you have to enter in commnad prompt. Each time you see $ just mean you type that line then press enter. Wait to see a result of transfer from prompt then enter next line and so on.

This!! I'll be kind though.
Make your life easy. Unzip the contents of g2TempRoot, to your tools folder, in sdk. So, unzip the g2temproot to your desktop. Go into that folder. Copy all, and move them to c:\androidsdk\tools. Now, once that's done, go into command prompt. cd c:\androidsdk\tools. Then, do as follows, as per that link
$ adb push su /sdcard/su
$ adb push Superuser.apk /sdcard/Superuser.apk
$ adb push rage /data/local/tmp/rage
$ adb push busybox /data/local/tmp/busybox
$ adb push root /data/local/tmp/root
$ adb shell chmod 0755 /data/local/tmp/*
(Sorry I couldn't be of more help, as I used VisionaryR12 and it worked fine for me.)
One more word of advise...
I would recommend you try temp root first.
Become used to using adb then try to get full root.
When you use temp root everything you do is temporary only.
Rebooting will reset everything back to stock so its good practice.
thanks for the help guys, but i figured it out. I just wasn't in the right directories from the get go.
Edit: Just finished the perm root! And it didn't brick.

Read .. research .. double check .. triple check .. and right before you do it .. check again. As you're doing it, go over every letter, space, and character to make sure it's as it should be.
On the subject of adb, I have it installed, but when I run adb devices to find my phone, I get "???????????? no permissions". What am I doing wrong here?

Hello,
I have a Blu Dash 3.5 and would like to install clockworkmod recovery and enable root access, but so far have not found anything. Could you help me?
thank you
I tried using SuperOneClick, Gingerbreak, zroot but all without success.
Anyone have any other option?

I managed to set up the android SDK on ubuntu but I get permission denied message when trying to copy the files to the /system
I suppose I have to remount the partition in RW to be able to put the files but no idea how to do this.

Well you can't without it being rooted, right now I just don't care about it anymore it's just a phone, & $30 isn't worth just freeing up some space. No guarantee that will make it run smoother without crashes either, that could just be a result of interface, so a bit of speed don't seem worth it to me, I have my own ringtones with ringdroid so I'm happy.
Everything having to do with extracting the boot.img requires it to be rooted otherwise I know enough about enough crapola already I could make that all spiffy and zabam if I wanted. I would just literally edit all the img files and provide a simple update.zip given I could get signing to work!
unfortunately I get nothing from fastboot at all, not sure it would help though. oem unlock stuff is all I recall about that besides it being a great wau to flash images to the phone
let me know if you make any progress, I'll put in my effort if you do anything at all that intices me to find a path to progress

fenrixarena, hope you get to find any progress on rooting this phone. I also agree with you that it is no worth the time or effort with this kind of phone but I think that the challenge is interesting . In my case I have no idea on how you may root it but I am sure it is possible i guess it all in find another compatible boot.img that can be rooted, right?

What is the address of the site that charges $ 30? We can verify that other users would like to do and split the cost ...
I managed to make root ...
I found the CWM recovery and stock recovery for Qsmart.
I was very curious if it would work in BLU and ended up installing the CWM with fastboot. It did not work, the screen just stays with the BLU and not access the recovery.
Then I installed stock recovery and did not work ...
But I realized that Windows recognized the device connected and I recognized two units with unsupported format.
then returned to the prompt and saw that the ADB was working. I used the command 'adb shell' and to my surprise was how the cursor #
So without wasting time already put su and busybox in /system/ bin and superuser.apk in /system/app, I changed the permissions and restarted the phone. And the root was working perfectly. :victory:
Only one problem, I do not have the recovery installed.
I wonder how I can help you to make root without losing recovery
>>
I use Windowns 7 Pro x64 bits.
I installed the drivers in the SuperOneClick version 2.3.3.
With the drivers installed could use fastboot and adb command.
Turning on the phone + vol - access mode fastboot / bootloader
It would be good to get root without losing the recovery. Because we need him to compile a clockworkmod recovery.
I used the romdump and got the following files:

https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B5rQL4bfhfPRMGdaNnQ4b1RwclU/edit?usp=sharing
This system.img would function on another device?
okay, I am having one problem, what did you type for the permissions?
I've got superuser.apk pushed and the su in the /system/bin but when i try to chmod 777 it returns to -r- after I reboot!
Here's howto manually back up now that I have recovery adb root:
cat /proc/mtd
Then just cat (mtd#) > /sdcard/(image.img)
You can restore via fastboot flash

you get root access in adb shell?
send su to /system/bin with permission 6755.
busybox to /system/bin with permission 755.
and superuser.apk to /system/app with 644.
reboot your phone
then download terminal emulator on your phone and enter the command su
if the cursor change to # worked

I can upload the cwm.img & adb I used + fastboot. Not all adb.exe will recognize the phone. Also drivers from qsmart for adb bridge.
1 boot holding vol down + power (about 15 sec.)
Fastboot flash recovery cwm.img
Then turn phone off.
Boot holding vol UP + Power (about 15 sec)
Adb push su /system/bin
Adb push busybox /system/bin
Adb push superuser.apk /system/app
adb shell
~# chmod 6755 /system/bin/su
~# chmod 755 /system/bin/busybox
~# chmod 644 /system/app/superuser.apk
reboot your phone
terminal emulator - su
permission granted
IT WORKED!

sorry, tomorrow I will upload a zip with the img i used and so forth all in one zip so you can root with that, unless it's here by someone else by then I gotta work!

Thank you so much Fenrixarena!! You are awesome :good::good::good:. I still can believe it, i thought it was a lost hope... I really appreciate for uploading the files I am patient enough to wait another day
Follow the ADB and the recovery I've used.
The drivers installed by SuperOneClick, but have these here:
32 bits - http://www.mediafire.com/?21na032gnzbfza2
64 bits - http://www.mediafire.com/?1hrwo325cb1ej2w

interesting, I got a cwm4s12.img that's larger(4.51) and because of having a 64bit laptop without 32bit support I had to use a smaller ADB (158kb) to be able to recognize the phone and only on regular usb debugging does superoneclick install drivers which was useless since I needed the drivers to work in recovery.
If those files don't work for you I will upload mine
I got my files from foreign thread, and since I download so many versions and custom versions of programs like adb I'm not sure where it came from !!
oh, and he rooted the phone first, I only did it on a more bothersome platform.

Now we need a recovery. I'm trying to learn how to compile cwm, but it is very complicated.
THIS GUIDE NO LONGER WORKS BECAUSE ANDROID ISN'T WHAT IT USED TO BE BACK IN 2013-14.
PLEASE STOP WASTING TIME TO FOLLOW THIS OBSOLETE METHOD 1. PLEASE REFER ONLY TO METHOD 3
The Ultimate Guide to Rooting any Android Device Manually !!!!
Wanting to ROOT Your Phone but can't do Because Of No rooting Guides or want to learn to root any device ? Then , This Guide Is For YOU
OK So lets start....
**What You Need**
1.Your Unrooted Android Device.
2.ADB Drivers Installed On Your PC. If you Don't Have Download From Here :
Code:
adbdriver.com/
3. The Most Inportant Root Kit Made By Me (N'ayam Amarsh'e) - Download From The Attachment.
4.Strength And Courage 'Coz Rooting Voids Your Warranty... If You have a samsung device then Don't Worry Your warranty is gone forever... But if you own any other, maybe you can void it or maybe......
I've Written Android Device as ADV to make it more easy....
**Steps**
So you have the adb drivers installed let's go....
1. Open The root kit by Extracting The Rootkit with WinRAR....
2.Turn 'USB DEBUGGING' 'ON' in your ADV...
3. Connect your ADV to Your PC...
4.In the root kit Open Cmd.exe File ... [ IF YOU CAN'T OPEN CMD, GOTO C:/WINDOWS/SYSTEM32/ COPY CMD .EXE TO YOUR ROOTKIT FOLDER]
5. In CMD window Type the following command...
Code:
->adb devices *Your device will get listed in the window if it doesn't check your adb drivers or if you have followed the steps properly...
->adb push busybox /data/local/tmp
->adb push su /data/local/tmp
->adb push Superuser.apk /data/local/tmp
If you Succeed Move On ...
6.Then You need Root Shell Type :
Code:
adb shell
Note that you see a "$" sign in the command prompt. That means you are not in 'su' shell.
7.Next run the following commands in the shell to change permissions and get some limited privileges for the Superuser files:
Code:
->chmod 6755 /data/local/tmp/su
->chmod 755 /data/local/tmp/busybox
->chmod 644 /data/local/tmp/Superuser.apk
{Note}The names of the files are case sensitive!
8.Done ? Now You need to open a copy of linux which has nautilus... So enter your linux (I recommend using ubuntu 11.4) and type in the terminal (ctrl+alt+T)
Code:
->sudo nautilus
this will open nautilus with root privileges...
You can just boot it from USB so no hassle of installing it... http://www.cyberciti.biz/tips/download-ubuntu-linux-11-04-iso-cd-dvd-images-natty-narwhal.html
Having your ADV connected with USB to PC switch it off and put it in download/recovery mode...
superlouro said:
DEVICE OFFLINE?
! SOLUTION ! (click me)
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
9.In The Exploring Window navigate to
Code:
/data/local/tmp
and move/cut 'su' and 'busybox' to
Code:
/system/bin
...
10.From the tmp Folder you went earlier Move/cut 'Superuser.apk' to
Code:
/system/app
11.Now Reboot You ADV ... Congrats ! You're now ROOTED !
Many Users Are Having Problem with This Method, If you can't do the method 1. Try Method 2.
METHOD 2
PLEASE DON'T ASK ME ABOUT THIS METHOD, THIS IS JUST FOR A TRY, MY BROTHER FOUND THIS METHOD TO BE WORKING, I HAVEN'T TRIED IT YET!
This is linux based method, It's quite easy if you follow every step correctly...
You need to download psneuter, https://github.com/tmzt/g2root-kmod/tree/master/scotty2/psneuter
When you have it execute the following...
Code:
adb devices
Code:
adb push psneuter /data/local/tmp
This will copy the file to your device and now we'll execute it..
Code:
adb shell
cd /data/local/tmp
chmod 777 psneuter
./psneuter
Now You'll see
Code:
adb kill-server
adb devices
adb shell
now # will appear in place of $, or after typing $su.
Code:
# mount -o remount,rw -t rfs /dev/block/st19/system
# exit
$ adb push busybox /system/bin
$ adb push su /system/bin
$ adb install Superuser.apk
$ adb shell
# chmod 4755 /system/bin/busybox
# chmod 4755 /system/bin/su
# mount -o remount,ro -t rfs /dev/block/st19/system
# exit
$ adb reboot
Now your device will reboot and you can see SuperUser App in your app drawer...

Problem solved i download another adb drivers and work fine
In /UserData/local/tmp i only have one file "directory" and nothing else. It's look like something block the data folder.

that means you have not properly pushed the files into the directory.... Try installing adb drivers again and do the same steps...Good luck
When you open cmd just type ' adb devices' if your device gets listed then you can start if it doesn't check your drivers...
After uinstall all adb drivers and phone drivers comand prompt shows me a device code and status ofline. At the begining i install atached to therad package of adb drivers. But lately some where in Internet I find some update package of adb drivers. And there was the same sort of files like in your package. I put them there and replace and after that adb shows the device is working and status is online but your guide still does not work. Question is where is real problem ? I checked and Debug Mod is on, drivers are installed.
Try this , download android commander and try to copy the busybox , su and superuser to data/local/tmp

Which phone you have.... Try to download its original drivers this might help...
I using Samsung Galaxy Grand Neo (GT-I9060) Jelly Bean 4.2.2
Now is working. But how to move "su" and busybox into system/bin ? Android commander says " You need root to do this." when i try to copy does files into system/bin. Folders are protected and I dont have premission to do anything with them.

Sorry I forgot that Android Commander works only for rooted phones... Silly Me...
OK you will need to do it with Droid Explorer
OR
linux and in the linux you'll have to type 'sudo nautilus' it'll open it with root privilages...

And in your guide need little correct. In step 9 should be /data/local/tmp not /UserData/local/tmp. Does are two diffrent folders. And before I think I do something wrong when all files be already on right place
Droid Explorer cant change folders premission too. Command prompt says : Read-only drirectory. I don't know what to do now.

Hi! First thank you for that guide. I rooted several devices but with a noname(10.1" A10 dual core) china tablet I have some problems so I hope your solution works.
I have some problems/questions:
1. Step 5: Are you sure it's:
Code:
adb push su /data/local/tmp
instead of
adb push su /data/local/tmp[B][SIZE="5"]/[/SIZE][/B]
I'm currently not able to look at the data folder but if I change the directions e.g to /test/local/tmp it just creates a "tmp" file and overwrites the file with every push command.
2. Step 6: If it's a $ it's not rootet, what should be there if it's rooted? I have a # there. Rootchecker says it's rooted since the beginning, but I cant access with superuser/supersu etc.
3. Step 8 doesn't work. I use a virtual box with ubuntu 13.10(Stinson: new is always better?) for the first time. With "sudo nautilus" I get the message that root access is not granted(failed to register client). I used "gksudo nautilus" instead... does that matter?
4. I can't connect my device to the virtual box. I tried to add the usb device but didn't work. USB Developer Android[0223] is in virtual box connected. However, I dont know where to find it in ubuntu. I'm a ubuntu noob sorry :/
5. Is there another way to get rw permissions?
Thanks in advance :good:
thankyou for information i think is hard for me
Very nice, ty

For Your First Answer You Need not to worry /tmp and /tmp/ are the same...
2.Have you tried typing 'adb shell' then ' su ' if yes there's your solution.... If not then you have problem with su binary or busybox....
3.You have an Ubuntu 11.4 .iso file so burn it to a blank disk and boot your live disk .... It should be all right then...
4.Answer in 3....
