[Q] Permission denied to push vending.apk

Last night I tried to root a Fire (6.3.1) for the first time using KFU and briefly saw something flash by about a problem with check_rooted. Someone on the KFU thread mentioned this also. Does this mean the rooting process is incomplete?
Proceeding further, I attempted to install the optional apps and received permission denied errors when abd went to push the vending GoogleCalendarSyncAdapter and GoogleContactsSyncAdapter apk files to /system/app.
Reading further on the KFU thread, someone else suggested sideloading superuser. I did this and still was unable to manually push the files (following the batch file as a model to mount read/write, push the apps, then mount read-only).
The goal was to add access to Google Play to an otherwise stock 6.3.1 operating system. Short of loading a new rom, is there something else I might try?

This is typically nothing to worry about. You will receive an error if the "check_rooted" folder didn't exist to begin with. Normal

To make things simple, the MoDaCo rom has the exact same interface as stock, except it comes pre rooted with all of the Google apps and services already installed. No work is necessary.

Wow! I'll give it a try tonight. Thanks!

Well, darn. I tried "adb root" and it says: "adbd cannot run as root in production builds." So I guess it isn't really rooted, after all.
Maybe the MoDaCo rom is the way to go, after all. Thanks, anyway!

How to Root Galaxy S3 on Mac OSX! U.S./Canadian

Here's how to root your Samsung Galaxy S3. This is ONLY work for U.S or Canadian Galaxy S3. DO NOT TRY ON INTERNATIONAL!
I have tested this process and works flawlessly.
Note: This will only root your phone, it will NOT install ClockworkMod Recovery. If you want ClockworkMod Recovery 1st root your phone and then flash ClocworkMod Recovery using ROM Manager
Download Links & Step by Step Guide: http://ultimatedroid.blogspot.com/2012/10/how-to-root-galaxy-s3-on-mac-osx.html

sparkym3 - For finding the exploit!
As of this post it has only been confirmed working on ICS, I have not tested it on Jelly Bean. I will be testing it on Jelly Bean when it is official released.
Enjoy!!

I thought I was either stuck waiting for the next Heimdall update or I was gonna have to pay someone to root my phone, but I found this link yesterday completely by accident. Worked perfectly for me on OS X Lion. Rooted at last!

Does anybody use this method? Seems pretty easy way to root if you have a Mac...

It works fast and painless. But doesnt seem to work with 4.1.1 which I got an OTA of and lost root. So Im looking for another script method because Heimdall wouldnt work for me. Im going to give it another shot now that Kies is gone maybe it wil work now.

Did it work?

Confirmed. Working. Doesn't seem malicious, either. I also used Triangle Away to flash my counter back to 0 to make it look original

Does this method work with jellybean?
Edit: it doesn't work for jellybean

can somebody confirm if this works for 4.1.1 I want to root but afraid that it may not work. Also, on another site they mention about drivers do we have to download something extra for this to work?

I am currently trying to root 4.1 as well with alecsharp over here

Use the methods that are stickied. Can HARDLY ever go wrong there. I say hardly cause some forums for older phones are not up to date, these are.

I don't have a mac so I don't have the issues obviously but did you do what it said to do? Go to play store and install Super SU just to test? also, can you not use ODIN? Since no one else is helping I figured I would jump in and spit ball ideas.

I know there used to be no way to root s3 with mac, but there may be a newer solution that I haven't heard of

Ya the exploit your trying to do was plugged with jelly bean. Normally would recommend heimdall here since youre on a mac however I do not believe it currently works on this s3.i recommend you go and grab Oracle virtualbox and run windows through that. (Xp should suffice). Then download cf auto root (in the original dev section) and you'll have root in 30 seconds

I'd recommend that as well, or if wanted to do it old school, use the team epic method.

That works too although I'm not a huge fan of a custom recovery if u only want root and have no plans of flashing stuff. Plus the team epic zip installs busybox which I don't think should be installed unless it's needed. It all depends on what u plan on using root for.

[Q] Rooting problems - Please help!

Hello everyone,
I've had my LG Nitro HD for about a year and a half. I've recently been disappointed with it's performance and battery live. I read rooting and adding a new rom really helps free up the phone's natural performance. I've unlocked a few phones in the past. This one seems to be giving me a lot of fits.
I downloaded a zip file called 'P930_v20e_ROOT". I do not want to share any external linking as it's usually frowned upon. Nevertheless I unzipped the folder and copied the file "LG_SystemBackupTest" to the root of my sd card. I downloaded a file manager app to execute the file. Once installed I enabled the option for unverified sources, and the option for USB under development mode. I also installed the OEM LG driver off of their website for the P930 model phone. I then ran the LG_SystemBackupTest file that was in my applications. While it ran it simply states "hello world". I powered off/restarted the phone as instructed.
Once the phone booted up I plugged in the usb cable to my Windows 8 PC. I then ran the "root_p880" file. Below is the error I get repeatedly.
DON'T TOUCH THE DEVICE OR UNPLUG WHILE ROOTING!

I've tried every possible combination I can think of. I even booted up one of my old Windows XP machines, performed all the steps above, and still the same. Just now I finally reset the phone to it's factory defaults. Only to get the same results. Can anyone provide any guidance?
Kind regards,
Jeremy

Just getting root isn't going to allow you to flash a new or custom rom. You need to install cwm using the P930 unbricking guide.

Thank you for the prompt reply. I do have another guide I was following to install a custom rom. However it states I first need to root. It provided no instructions and stated to google how to do it.

Did you try both guides in this forum? I believe this is the guide I used: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1784709
You need to brick the phone, revive it, root, and install cwm.

Thanks. I didn't use that guide. I'll read through it. It sound kind of odd that I first need to brick the phone just to un-brick it. If anyone else has any experience or used a different guide please feel free to share.

What room are you using? You need to unlock the boot loader and this needs gingerbread, not ICS. This is the guide I have used on two different phones.
