[MOD] 3-Click QuickTempRoot TerminalMOD :/

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.

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!

If you didn't already have a terminal app installed that error is normal. Also you may need to reboot once after the initial installation for it to work properly.

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.

So they go into the tools folder? Damn. I think I've in over my head here.
Like this?

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

Unplug then plug ur phone back in then try again also make sure u are in usb debug mode

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.

[Q] HELP!!! Lcd Density Problem !!

Hi everybody,
Sorry for my bad english, i'm italian,
I've a problem with my a100 with stock ics. yesterday i've rooted it and i've installed lcd density modder. now, i've do a mistake and saved the dpi instead of temp apply. after the reboot the home won't start cause it freeze. i can only have access to settings i can't access the lcd density app. i've tried to reset to factory but it's still the same. Can anyone help me ?
thanks

Use adb to pull build.prop from /system use some text editor to open it and find this line ro.sf.lcd_density= and change it to ro.sf.lcd_density=160 then reboot.
The exact commands are :
Code:
adb pull /system/build.prop build.prop
adb push build.prop /system/build.prop
adb shell reboot

thank you so much, resolved

can you explain how to pull it up into the text editor i'm afraid i have the same problem and found this thread i enter the pull command and recieve this in cmd prompt:
C:\Users\Owner>adb pull /system/build.prop build.prop

Open your editor and then open build.prop in it.
Or name it build.txt then edit it then save as build.prop.

i was rooted before i factory reset i went through the adb root method which is basicaly how i achieved root to begin with except i used a cmd prompt terminal app and did it all on my tablet and now i'm not sure i never had a "full" root idk how to explain that but it told me i was rooted and could run root apps and such but it still limited me on a few things if this helps i have
"bootloader 0.03.06-ics (unlocked)"
it came stock with gb or honeycomb i had to find a .zip file to get ics
now i've tried to adb root again and failed i'm not sure why...

OK time for info then. What ROM are you on? What recovery? Why did you use a method other then one intended for the a100? Being rooted but limited is probably due to missing or bad busy box installation.
Tapatalked from my A100 - Kuroikaze B3

i used an update zip for what i believed to be a stock ics rom and i rooted with a method that was intended for the a100:
Download the su binary from here.
Hook your device to the computer via USB cable.
Copy the su binary file to /mnt/sdcard/ on your tablet.
Open a command prompt on your Windows computer.
Change directory to where ADB is located. (This is usually the /tools or /platform-tools directory inside the Android SDK installation directory.)
Type in the following commands at the terminal (press Enter after each command):
adb shell /system/bin/cmdclient ec_micswitch ‘`mount -o remount,rw /system`’
adb shell /system/bin/cmdclient ec_micswitch ‘`cat /mnt/sdcard/su >/system/xbin/su`’
adb shell /system/bin/cmdclient ec_micswitch ‘`chmod 6755 /system/xbin/su`’
Install the Superuser app from the Android Market.
i used this method but i used terminal emulator on my tablet i didn't use adb
here is the update zip i used for ics- this is the error i get trying to attach the zip file:
The connection was reset
The connection to the server was reset while the page was loading.
The site could be temporarily unavailable or too busy. Try again in a few
moments.
If you are unable to load any pages, check your computer's network
connection.
If your computer or network is protected by a firewall or proxy, make sure
that Firefox is permitted to access the Web.

Use the script as intended. From the PC. If you go running them on the tab itself you may have missed one somewhere.
You can't attach a file that large to a post.

Videocon A20 How to root

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 ????

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!!!!

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

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?

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:

I used the mkfs.yaffs2 to convert the file system.tar for system.img
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!

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.

the root worked on your phone?
Now we need a recovery. I'm trying to learn how to compile cwm, but it is very complicated.
