[Q] Simple Root for EB13

Is there a simple, non-CWM flashing one-click root for stock EB13 Epics (I just want to tether to my rooted nook)?
I ask because a few months back I rooted my DI18 Epic with a "One Click Root" and, for some reason, all my apps became unlinked from the android market, and nothing I did worked to restore their connections. After a few hours of panic, I unrooted using the accompanying "One Click Unrooter," and the problem went away.
Then, I noticed my bluetooth was't working. I took it to the Sprint store, they ordered me a replacement phone, and then wouldn't exchange it because CWM was on my current phone. I got them to exchange it eventually, but I felt like a complete dumbass for not knowing it didn't come off in the one-click-unrooting process.
So, is there a way to just get root? And then is there a simple way to get rid of it (uninstall SU and such as well) in case I have to exchange the hardware?
I've read a lot of stuff about flashing stock with Odin, but all the dl links for Odin are 404'd, and I'd rather not have to go back to fresh stock every time I need to take my phone in. What's your advice?

SuperOneClick v1.7 worked for me.

I don't know about "one-click", z4root might work, but there's anecdotal reports of it not working on Android 2.2.1. The one-click w/CWM redirector is the easiest way to root and definitely recommended if you want to do anything more advanced (ROMs, etc.). You can always return to stock everything with Odin.
That said, if all you want is root and nothing more, the manual version is relatively simple. It's really just three steps:
Use an exploit (rageagainstthecage-arm5.bin) to get "temporary root" (an ADB root shell).
Install Superuser's su binary to /system/xbin with the appropriate permissions (root.shell 4755).
Sideload Superuser.apk as a regular program, or download it from the market.
In which case "unrooting" is trivial. Just delete /system/xbin/su with root-explorer or something, and after remove Superuser via "Manage applications".
A while back I wrote up semi-detailed directions for doing this. They should work on EB13 with some modification. Here's some notes for EB13:
"rageagainstthecage-arm5.bin", "su", and "Superuser.apk" are all included in the one click package, that's the easiest place to get them.
Actually running "rageagainstthecage-arm5.bin" is the trickest part. There's a few ways to do it, and due to the nature of the exploit, sometimes only one or two of them will work for anyone. You can tell it works if on the next run of "adb shell" you get a "#" prompt instead of "$". Try these three ways in order until one of them works:
Code:
adb push rageagainstthecage-arm5.bin /data/local/tmp
adb shell chmod 755 /data/local/tmp/rageagainstthecage-arm5.bin
adb shell /data/local/tmp/rageagainstthecage-arm5.bin
Code:
adb push rageagainstthecage-arm5.bin /data/local/tmp
adb shell chmod 755 /data/local/tmp/rageagainstthecage-arm5.bin
adb shell (press return, and type below at the "$" prompt):
/data/local/tmp/rageagainstthecage-arm5.bin
Code:
adb push rageagainstthecage-arm5.bin /data/local/tmp
adb push root.sh /data/local/tmp
adb shell chmod 755 /data/local/tmp/rageagainstthecage-arm5.bin
adb shell chmod 755 /data/local/tmp/root.sh
adb shell /data/local/tmp/root.sh
With the last method's root.sh from the one-click package.
Once you have root, and have verified such by getting a "#" prompt with "adb shell", then run:
Code:
adb shell rm /data/local/tmp/rageagainstthecage-arm5.bin
adb shell rm /data/local/tmp/root.sh
adb shell mount -wo remount /dev/block/stl9 /system
adb push su /system/xbin
adb shell chmod 4755 /system/xbin/su
adb shell mount -ro remount /dev/block/stl9 /system
adb install Superuser.apk
If you do nothing more, OTA updates should apply just fine. The only caveat is that /system/xbin/su will lose the appropraite permissions, so Superuser will no longer work. To restore it, do the same steps above to regain "temporary root", then run:
Code:
adb shell rm /data/local/tmp/rageagainstthecage-arm5.bin
adb shell rm /data/local/tmp/root.sh
adb shell mount -wo remount /dev/block/stl9 /system
adb shell chmod 4755 /system/xbin/su
adb shell mount -ro remount /dev/block/stl9 /system
You shouldn't have to push a new "su" binary since it's already there, and similarly, you don't need to reinstall Superuser.

How to root manually/without Windows

There is already an excellent write-up on how to use SuperOneClick to root your Optimus V.
Unfortunately, you may not have a Windows machine available to run the util, or your PC hates the LG drivers, or you may wish to control how you go about rooting your device.
Hence this short write-up which, obviously, relies on pieces I got from that other write-up.
I. Rooting your device
1. You still need ADB!
2. Download the LG Optimus V Tools package from http://nexus.zteo.com/projects/tools/
3. Unzip it
4. Command-line:
Code:
adb push psneuter /data/local/tmp/
adb push su /data/local/tmp/
adb shell
cd /data/local/tmp
chmod 777 psneuter
chmod 777 su
./psneuter
5. You should be kicked out of the shell
6. Command-line:
Code:
adb shell
mount -o remount,rw -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock5 /system
cat /data/local/tmp/su > /system/bin/su
mount -o remount,ro -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock5 /system
(Oh look you are root!)
That's it. You now have permanent root access.
After rebooting your phone, adb should be back to logging you in as a regular user but typing "su" will do the trick.
Note: I realize that the version of SuperUser.apk that comes with SuperOneClick might be re-usable here. I haven't had any success with it but you may.
II. Flashing a new ROM
1. After rooting your device, obviously...
2. Get an image for the ROM you wish to flash...
Currently, my favourite one is a fairly recent version of Zefie's CM7.
You can find it by googling "update-cm-7-04282011-NIGHTLY-thunderc-Xionia-signed.zip" -- I will refer to it, below, as <your_rom_zip_file>
3. Get a minimum Google Apps package for flashing as well.
Here, I would google "gapps-gb-20110325-signed.zip" -- I will refer to it, below, as <your_gapps_zip_file>
3. Command-line:
Code:
adb push flash_recovery /data/local/tmp/
adb push recovery.img /sdcard/
adb push Debug-FormatSYSTEM.zip /sdcard/
adb push <your_rom_zip_file> /sdcard/
adb push <your_gapps_zip_file> /sdcard/
adb shell
su
chmod 777 /data/local/tmp/flash_recovery
/data/local/tmp/flash_recovery /sdcard/recovery.img
reboot recovery
4. In recovery: Flash Debug-FormatSYSTEM.zip
5. In recovery: Wipe cache and dalvik-cache
6. In recovery: Flash <your_rom_zip_file> -- this will take a while
7. Do not reboot!
8. In recovery: Flash <your_gapps_zip_file>
9. Now, reboot.
10. Let your phone think about life for a few minutes
11. Select "Skip" when your phone asks you to create/enter your account info
12. Launch the market; now, enter your main account information

Hey first of all let me tell you that I appreciate this guide. Now my problem is that I am such a noob that I may be doing this wrong.I download the file to my optimus.Then in an explorer I extract it, correct? After that once I put in the first line of command on terminal emulator I get an error that says "adb: permission denied". Please help this guide is my last resort.Whatever I do I can not root through windows.It would be nice if you could explain in more detail every step. Thanks!

help
can u please add a little more detail thank u very much appreciated.

SouthParkFan15:
adb is a tool that you run on your computer; it is available for Windows, Mac OS X and Linux. It is part of the Google SDK.
thizizjohnny:
Could you give me a little more detail regarding what detail you are interested in?

How do I unzip?.. is extract the same thing? I'm running Linux mint 10. How do I get adb? Excuse my noobness.
Sent from my VM670 using XDA App

Oh and one last thing.. does this work on android version 2.2.1?
Sent from my VM670 using XDA App

Yes this works with 2.2.1.
On Linux Mint, you can use the package manager or the unzip command in a terminal window.
apk:
Download the SDK at http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html
Install it, then run "android" and select "Install platform tools"

I finally got adb on my system, but when I type in "adb devices" nothing comes up and when I do any command that involves the phone i get "error:device not found".Yes I have usb debugging on and yes I have all the right drivers installed and yes I have tried rebooting a million times, and no my computer has never recognized my phone the way it should.Let me also point out that though pdanet or droid explorer they can't find my device. Help please I'm desperate!

Oh, my. Sorry to read that.
Problem is, in 2.2.x, the exploits that give you root access rely on ADB itself so you couldn't be more out of luck.
On second thought...this may seem a bit weird but there may be a way. I have to think about it. It would involve using a file manager that agrees to "see" /data/local/tmp, running psneuter from there and keeping our fingers crossed. I'll keep you updated.

Alright thanks cyansmoke! Keep me informed.

I ran all of the steps for rooting and I didn't get one error. It didn't seem to work though. When I launch adb again after rebooting my phone I get permission denied when I try to run su.
Here is the cap from my command line. I have no idea why it didn't take.
C:\phone\LGOptimusVTools>adb shell
$ cd /data/local/tmp
cd /data/local/tmp
$ chmod 777 psneuter
chmod 777 psneuter
$ chmod 777 su
chmod 777 su
$ ./psneuter
./psneuter
property service neutered.
killing adbd. (should restart in a second or two)
C:\phone\LGOptimusVTools>adb shell
# mount -o remount,rw -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock5 /system
mount -o remount,rw -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock5 /system
# cat /data/local/tmp/su > /system/bin/su
cat /data/local/tmp/su > /system/bin/su
# mount -o remount,ro -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock5 /system
mount -o remount,ro -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock5 /system
# exit
exit
C:\phone\LGOptimusVTools>adb shell
$ su
su
su: permission denied
$

It's possible that you have another su in your path that takes precedence.
Please try typing:
/system/bin/su

Hey, do you know if there is a way to upgrade my device to froyo 2.2.2? It's currently 2.2.1 and whenever I go to update system it says something like "Your system is up to date".Incase you have forgotten I have the optimus v that can't establish connections with the computer.So what I could do?I'm thinking that If I do that then maybe it could fix all of my problems (or some of them).Thanks

I don't think that it will help you no.
OK it's taking longer than I thought because my wife's LGV, after I restored it to stock, decided that it would not allow psneuter anymore.
Thus, I will need you to run these commands for me and let me know how that went:
1. First, copy psneuter to the root of your SD Card.
2. Then, download Terminal Emulator from the market
3. Run Terminal Emulator, type:
Code:
cp /sdcard/psneuter /data/local/tmp/
chmod 777 /data/local/tmp/psneuter
/data/local/tmp/psneuter
Now, if we are lucky, you should get kicked out of the terminal app (I know it's weird but there is a claim that it goes through adb(!))
Restart the terminal emulator. If we are double-lucky, your prompt should have changed from '$' to '#'
Fingers crossed. Still surprised to hear that terminal emulator would go through adb. No, let me rephrase that: I am moderately surprised, in fact, considering the limitations put on non-rooted apps.

After I put psneuter on the root of my sdcard.I go to terminal emulator and put in the first code and it says "cp: permission denied".Any suggestions?

Ah, my bad, no "cp" by default.
New instructions:
Code:
cat /sdcard/psneuter > /data/local/tmp/
chmod 777 /data/local/tmp/psneuter
/data/local/tmp/psneuter

After I put in the first code I get an error message saying "cannot create /data/local/tmp/: is a directory".

*facepalm*
Of course I should have written:
Code:
cat /sdcard/psneuter > /data/local/tmp/psneuter

I put in "cat /sdcard/psneuter > /data/local/tmp/psneuter" and I get an error message saying "cannot create /data/local/tmp/psneuter: directory nonexistent".

Any suggestions?

Manual Root - UPDATED: Temp Root?

Yes, I do understand that zergRush is for Gingerbread, but I've read so many threads on user SOC, and multiple versions of it at that, to gain root. From past experiences rooting phones (LG Optimus V, Samsung Intercept, HTC Vivid) I understand ADB, and how things work, but this phone really has me stumped.
So I've tried everything under the sun, multiple different SOC versions (you name it, i've tried it), TPSparkyRoot, among others. Nothing will root this phone, even used the unbricking guide after finding out that V10F(or J, can't remember) is unrootable. So now I'm not V18F, which from what everyone is saying is very rootable. Some say SOC 2.3.3 will root on first try, well not for me.
For some reason SOC was always stopping at Step #7, no matter what version I am on. Reading the log I would always see it stop and freeze up at a step that looked like it was trying to mount something, or remount something. I would try Shell Root and it would just give me the Gingerbreak error when it tried to run the zergRush exploit.
Now I even got my hands dirty and installed the SDK, ran ADB and tried to manually run the zergRush exploit, I knew it probably was going to spit out the same feedback as SOC did but it was worth a shot.
Now I'm really stuck, should I reflash the V10 firmware to try and manually zergRush the phone? Is there really a working method out there, I mean there has to be cause people have been rooting these phones.
Just to make everyone aware, when I flashed the V18F firmware it was a ROM (HO!NO!) that was suppose to already have been rooted (the download to the rom was in one of the unbricking guides I found). The only problem was once I install V18F there was no root, no Superuser app, nothing.
So I'm going to once again, ask the nice people here at the Nitro XDA Community to lend me some advice.
===========================
UPDATE:
Ok, so upon more reading, and gutting out codes and methods from devs everywhere (credit will be made later) I got temp root, although any application that I used to check for root always took forever, let me explain.
I ran these commands manually, as found in TPSparkyRoot
Code:
adb shell mv /data/local/tmp /data/local/tmp.bak
adb shell ln -s /data /data/local/tmp
adb reboot
I then waited until the phone booted back up completely and ran
Code:
adb shell rm /data/local.prop > nul
adb shell "echo \"ro.kernel.qemu=1\" > /data/local.prop"
adb reboot
I then waited for another full reboot. Now here is the weird thing, I can run "adb shell" and am automatically greeted with # instead of $. So I'm temp rooted right? I don't know what this script exactly is doing, the code looks to complex for my feeble mind to understand.
So now that I have root, I started pushing the required files into directories I couldn't access before.
Code:
adb remount
adb push su /system/bin/su
adb shell chown 0.0 /system/bin/su
adb shell chmod 06755 /system/bin/su
adb push busybox /system/bin/busybox
adb shell chown 0.0 /system/bin/busybox
adb shell chmod 0755 /system/bin/busybox
adb push Superuser.apk /system/app/Superuser.apk
adb shell chown 0.0 /system/app/Superuser.apk
adb shell chmod 0644 /system/app/Superuser.apk
Now I'm not sure but after step 2/3 in the TPSparkyRoot it would feed me errors on writting those files, manually entered though it worked, for some reason I think that the script was not executing a remount, because manually they worked fine.
So I seem to have temp root, restarting the phone will set the shell back to $. Google Play will offer an update for SuperUser and update correctly, but it never shows in my app drawer, and other apps seem to act funny when trying anything with root. Any ideas?

Rooting The Ampe A10 Dual core 3g ICS
1.
Download and install the drivers required to connect the tablet to a windows pc (I used Win7) not any old ADB drivers will do the first ones I came across didn’t work so I recommend downloading from here - http://www.topnotchtablets.com/installADBdriver (PDA Net for Android)
2.
Download the rooting program from this thread here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1886460

3.
Extract the contents of the zip folder into a directory on the pc
Rooting is done at your own risk!
4.
Plug the tablet into the pc and run the RunMe.bat file
Screen will pop up select option 1 Normal
follow the instructions on the screen, it will refer to the tablet and you need to select restore. Once updated a reboot will happen and root should be done, if you wish to check root download root checker from the android market
enjoy
you mite like Webkey for example to remotely use the Android

Thanks, I've already rooted the same device as Sanei N10 3G (MSM8625 CPU).

The Ampe 10 seems to have its own recovery built in and can be started by turning the device off turn it back on hold both volume up and power. From this menu you can recover / update from the SD card. I found the original firmware here 86pp.com/download_view.asp and have installed this one you need to extract msm7627a_fw8937-ota-eng_mmc.zip from the downloaded zip copy it to the SD
I think the firmware can also be found here: szampe.com/support_down.asp? but as its all in Chinese its difficult to tell

It's not necessary to use any other options than 1. and 2.
After that install Titanium Backup and check for errors and let TB fix it (Some permissions seems to be "broken".).

You cannot use an other image. For now it's not possible to use nandroid. Try "Titanium Backup Root" for a most complete backup.

1. Edit the script, replace the code in section ":root", save the file and execute the script
2. Check the connection with option 1 and choose option 2 to root
3. If you don't know what i explained, ask somebody who knows a bit about batch-programming

Is it possible to create an image out of an other one in an easy way and what do i need to do this?
Or is it to much complicated to work out an recovery image?
I am not really firm with those android things but willing to learn if possible with a "how to guide" for building recovery images

Worked great on Ampe A10, 5min job!
Any news about Android 4.1.x update/rom? Cyanogenmod? Any way to get Jellybean?

Tried to find a way to get jelly bean but i think there isn't any...
BTW, does anyone know SNES emulator that works with this tablet?

ADB Push Fails - Read Only File System; Unable to remount. Bad root?

Hey all,
I was trying to push nano to my phone and I get this:
C:\>adb push nano /system/bin
failed to copy 'nano' to '/system/bin/nano': Read-only file system
Trying remount:
C:\>adb remount
remount failed: Operation not permitted
Then from ADB shell, I try:
c:\>adb shell
[email protected]:/ $ su
su
[email protected]:/ # mount -o rw,remount /system
mount -o rw,remount /system
[email protected]:/ #
[email protected]:/ # exit
exit
[email protected]:/ $ exit
exit
c:\>adb push nano /system/bin
failed to copy 'nano' to '/system/bin/nano': Permission denied
Any ideas? I'm rooted the superuser and busybox installed.
I rooted using this method:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1956432
Apps get elevated privileges without error. Terminal emulator allows me to view system files. Unfortunately I need to edit some program files in /data/data and there doesn't seem to be any editor available (vi is acting very glitchy). I discovered this problem when I tried to push nano to my phone.
I also tried to access /data using gEditor and it says:
file list
/data
cannot change the directory.
Something is very wrong here. Do I need to re-root using a different method? Please advise. Thanks!

Update: I was able to get adb to work. It turns out I never flashed an unsecured boot image.
However, my nano installation doesn't work and gEditor crashes when I try to access the data folder. That will be for another thread.

For remount and push/pull commands to work, download adbd insecure from playstore . That's the only way you will be able to do the aforementioned commands.

Thanks for the tip. After rerooting the phone with an unsecured image I was able to use adb. I am able to use adb right now without adbd installed however.

Is there any other option?? That software is not compatible with my android!!

You will have to flash a kernel which has adb secure set to 0.
