** THIS WORKED ON MY DEVICE BUT IT MAY NOT WORK ON YOURS. APPLY AT YOUR OWN RISK **** This method is designed for Amazon fire phone. Do not use it on other devices unless you are familiar with Android file system and are able to apply proper modifications. **
This has been tested with the unlocked US version running 4.6.1.
This procedure installs superSU root binaries and busybox on your system.
Requirements
Make sure your PC can communicate with your fire phone via adb.
The success of this method depends on following the procedure very carefully. So read the instructions and make sure you understand every step before you try it.
Procedure
1- Install and run Kingroot 4.0. You can google and download it or you can use the one in the attached zip file. When Kingroot runs it is all in Chinese, but basically you need to be connected to the internet for it to work. It will do its thing and show progress up to 100% after which you can exit the program. Now your phone is rooted. The following steps replaces the Kinguser with SuperSU.
2- Unzip the attached file in your adb directory and then open an adb terminal and make sure the PC can see your phone (you can check that by typing adb devices). Then type the following:
Code:
adb push su /data/local/tmp
adb push busybox /data/local/tmp
adb shell
3- In the shell that you get type the following and make sure you give the permission when the phone prompts you:
Code:
su
4- Continue by typing the following commands:
Code:
mount -o remount,rw /system
cat /data/local/tmp/su >/system/xbin/daemonsu && chmod 0755 /system/xbin/daemonsu
cat /data/local/tmp/busybox >/system/xbin/busybox && chmod 0755 /system/xbin/busybox
daemonsu -d &
The key is to keep this session running while you continue with the rest, so be careful with typos and monitor this window for any errors.
5- At this point, leave the adb terminal window running and go to your phone, open the Kinguser app, open settings (the wheel at the top right corner of the screen), Root authorization setting, and Remove Root permission. The app will self-uninstall.
6- Uninstall the other two Kingroot programs that are still on your phone (KingRoot and the other one with the blue icon and Chinese text under it).
7- Back to the adb terminal, and type the following:
Code:
cat /data/local/tmp/su >/system/xbin/su && chmod 0755 /system/xbin/su
busybox chattr -ia /system/xbin/ku.sud
busybox chattr -ia /system/xbin/supolicy
rm /system/xbin/ku.sud
rm /system/xbin/supolicy
rm /system/bin/rt.sh
rm /system/bin/install-recovery.sh
rm /system/bin/shipclean
rm /system/bin/start-ssh
busybox chattr -ia /system/etc/install-recovery.sh
busybox chattr -ia /system/etc/install-recovery.sh-ku.bak
rm /system/etc/install-recovery.sh
rm /system/etc/install-recovery.sh-ku.bak
rm /system/etc/install_recovery.sh
rm /system/usr/icu/icusuflag.conf
busybox chattr -ia /system/usr/iku/isu
rm -rf /system/usr/iku
rm /system/kroot_*
rm /sdcard/kr-stock-conf
rm -rf /sdcard/Kingroot
rm -rf /data/data-lib/com.kingroot.RushRoot
rm -rf /data/data-lib/com.kingroot.kinguser
rm -rf /data/data-lib/king
Again, leave the adb terminal window running and go to your phone.
8- Install superSU (from the attached file) on your phone, run it, and let it update the SU binary.
9- Reboot the phone. After about 5 minutes your root is ready.
Hint: It is a good idea to disable Amazon device client platform, DCP platform contracts, and two apps called System Updates in Amazon settings. They are responsible for regular updates, constant chatter with Amazon servers, and possible patching of your root exploit. Also disable Kinesis service which is responsible for major battery drain and heating. You will find it under settings, display, configure motion and gesture settings. Disable all.
Troubleshooting
1- Most of the problems that I noticed people have encountered is due to not reading the instructions fully. So make sure you read the OP word by word.
2- If you miss a step or mess up something go back to installing Kingroot and start over from the beginning.
3- If instant video or some other Amazon app doesn't work it is because you should run them at least once prior to rooting the phone.
4- Finally, I noticed that with an AT&T sim card in the phone Kingroot fails (why am I not surprised?) Either a reboot occurs in the middle of rooting or it completes the cycle without accomplishing root. If that occurs, my best advice is to change your phone company. If that fails, you may need to factory reset your phone or even install the firmware from scratch and try again without the sim card.
Okay. Working. I tried it 2 Times because i get in troubles with the SuperSu App.
After First Time i Cant open it anymore after adb shell.
Second Time i installed SuperSu, but after adbshell the app was gone (!?) - but i installed it again with adb shell before reboot. Now SuperSu is Working.
And now tell me how to change the FireOS to a Android Status Bar with Notifications, and youre my Hero ;D

Not sure what I'm doing wrong but everything works till I get to rm stage of step 7. Im getting 255 read only file system error. Any ideas what I did wrong. since it didnt work to I have reinstall Kingroot and start over or do I start over from the adb shell part?

Do you close the adb window between steps 4 and 7? Step 7 should be continued in the window that you left open in step 4.
Do you get any error message after you type each command in part 4?
To redo the process you should install the Kingroot again and stay overt from the beginning.
I did not get any errors for part 4 just when I get to the first rm command in part 7, I'm getting (rm failed for /system/xbin/ku.sud, Read-only file system). Is that normal?
FIXED!!!
Ok i was not following this step properly "open the Kinguser app, open settings, Root authorization setting, and Remove Root permission ." I was not doing through that Root authorization setting which was a few slots down.

I still had this page open while I was giving it another go. I figured out what i was doing wrong. The " open the Kinguser app,open settings, Root authorization setting, and remove root permission." part I was just opening Kinguser settings and hitting the big center button turning it off. Did'nt realize i had to go down a few slots to the Root Authorization Setting then hit the Remove Root Permission. After i did it right Kinguser disappeared unistalled the other 2 apps. Everything after that work fine then. Thanks for trying to help me out. Maybe my confusion will help others.

installation
Great thread :good::good:
thx for the guide.
can you explain why it is better to have SuperSu. What is wrong with kingsu?
planning to do this soon, cheers for the guide
so what is safe to remove out of the stock apps

King user might even be a better SU than superSU, who knows? The problem is that we don't know kinguser. We don't know who wrote it, we don't know what kind of information it gathers, we don't know if it puts a backdoor exploit in your OS, etc. Super SU is a tool that we have used for years. We know exactly what supersu does and who wrote it. We can even communicate with him on xda. Chainfire, the author of SuperSU even has a weblog that he often uses to talk about the intricacies of designing a tool like superSU. There is almost nothing unknown or suspicious about superSU.
On the contrary kingroot/kinguser seems to be intrusive and sneaky. The first thing it does after rooting your phone is to install some random app on it that has nothing to do with rooting and at best I can describe it as bloat. It saves files and folders all over your phone for no apparent reason. Then, it does everything it can to prevent you from removing it. In effect, the only straightforward way to remove it is to give up root, and even then it very suspiciously leaves some executable files behind that God knows if they are sleeper cells or what. To devise the procedure in the OP I had to go through an extensive search to find every little carp that king user has planted into the system and truth be told I will not be surprised if I discover more hidden gems left behind.
The corrected op guide worked great. I had to tap a blue rectangle at two different times to get kingroot to finish (get to a screen that had 100% on it), but other than that, everything worked.

Thank you _so_ much for your effort. I was doing some research too in advance prior to installing kingroot, but didn't get near as much useful information. Sniffing the network connection for any suspicious behaviour via wireshark and my router wasn't successful at all, as they use https.
I came up with the idea that they could have patched some of the system-apps to load an payload even after you tried to "delete everything"(tm). I am currently checking the MD5 and SHA-1 checksum of a identical, second Firephone without root.
---------- Post added at 09:09 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:05 PM ----------
Also the Mods should pin your post. I totally agree that KingRoot uses intrusive behaviour - as it seems mostly for statistics, but anyway - and should be replaced with the method described in the OP.
EDIT: The MD5 checksum of an unrooted firephone is identical. The System apps might not have been replaced or touched at all. I didn't got a easy chance to check all apps with the SHA-1 checksum though.
Followed the directions and got the root with 0 issues

No, it doesn't work. When you run it, the towelroot app pops up a message saying the phone is currently not supported.
Hmph! That's too bad. I wasn't with my fire phone to check for myself. The internet is so weird lol. Why make a whole page with instructions for nothing? Ugh lol

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 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!
Sent from my T-Mobile G2 using XDA App

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".

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)
There's already a guide here for obtaining permanent root using VISIONary, but some folks in #G2ROOT are having issues with the way that VISIONary modifies parititons. Using rage directly is a bit cleaner, since you know exactly what it's going to touch at each step of the way. I did NOT come up with any of this on my own, I'm building completely off of work that others have done. Speaking of which-
None of this would be possible without the tireless work that scotty2 put in. He stayed with the project for well over a month, through lots of smashed hopes and dead ends, until the solution was finally found.

We're talking hundreds of hours of work here, a couple bucks is not too much for that. His paypal is:

[size=+2]G2 ROOT INSTRUCTIONS[/size]
=================================================
These are modified instructions based on the ones posted at http://bit.ly/g2root that use Visionary. A number of people have run into issues with the way that Visionary juggles around temporary partitions, and using the original root exploit is a much easier, and cleaner method for achieving permanent root. This tutorial will walk you through the rooting process by first achieving temporary root, and moving on to permanent root.
[size=+1]REQUIREMENTS[/size]
=================================================
Visionary disabled at boot or uninstalled completely
Android Terminal Emulator app
ADB
vision-combined-root.zip (Attached to this post, OR these two files: )
G2TempRoot.zip (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=797042) NOTE: only download the files! Don't follow these instructions yet
vision-perm-root.zip (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=833965) NOTE: again, just download the files from the thread.
In the commands to run below, $ or # represent the prompt and should NOT be entered as part of the commands.
[size=+2]VERY IMPORTANT![/size]Visionary has caused filesystem corruption for some users during the rooting process. Before attempting the instructions below, make sure that you have "auto run on boot" turned OFF, and reboot your system. Since you will not need visionary anyway after this, you might as well just uninstall visionary and reboot NOW before doing anything.
[size=+1]TEMP ROOT[/size]
=================================================
ON YOUR PC:
Unzip the G2TempRoot files to a folder. From a cmd window or terminal, navigate to that folder and execute these commands:
Code:
$ 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/*
ON YOUR PHONE:
Launch Terminal Emulator
/data/local/tmp/rage
Wait for the message: "Forked #### childs."
Menu > Reset Term - Terminal Emulator will exit.
Launch Terminal Emulator, it Force Closes. Launch a second time, and you'll have a root shell
**NOTE**: in the original directions from the XDA thread, you are instructed to run the /data/local/tmp/root script here. DON'T do this
just yet. Leave the terminal window open.
[size=+1]PERM ROOT[/size]
=================================================
ON YOUR PC:
unzip the vision-perm-root.zip and navigate to that folder. There will be four files. You will need to push two of these to your phone- hboot-eng.img, and one of the wpthis-[..].ko files.
If you HAVE applied the OTA update, push wpthis-OTA.ko.
If you HAVE NOT applied the OTA update, push wpthis-pre-OTA.ko.
Code:
$ adb push hboot-eng.img /data/local
$ adb push wpthis-OTA.ko /data/local
ON YOUR PHONE:
You should still have terminal emulator up, at a root prompt. Now run:
Code:
# insmod /data/local/wpthis-OTA.ko
You should see:
Code:
init_module 'wpthis-OTA.ko' failed (Function not implemented)
That means it worked. This next step is CRUCIAL. You must make sure that you are writing to the proper partition here or you could brick your phone. To be absolutely clear- the partition is mmcblk(zero)p(one)(eight)
Code:
dd if=/data/local/hboot-eng.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p18
You should see some messages indicating that it was written. Next, run:
Code:
# /data/local/tmp/root
This will lock in root, and give you 'su' access in the future. Next, run:
Code:
# sync
Now wait at least a minute, just to be safe. After waiting, reboot your phone using the power button. After it finishes starting up, launch the terminal emulator, and type 'su'. You should get the prompt asking you to grant permissions. If you got the prompt, congratulations! You have permanent root!
I used these instructions and they worked brilliantly.
Sounds like it's a little safer than using VISIONary, which some people in the thread are reporting can get confused and not let you root because it thinks you already have root, etc.
I love it when a plan comes together. Perma-root. thanks man, i never had much luck getting visonary to work so this was spot on. worked like a charm
*not smart enough*
*leaves thread*
I really try to leave ADB out of the equation since I'm not comfortable navigating it.... I suppose I could dedicate my time to learning it, but it's not worth it since I would only use it once every two years to root my phone. In 16 hours I'm sure there will probably be a one click perm root method out anyway.
It worked flawlessly!
I always get so stressed when I root my phones, especially without tutorial vids.
I first did my G1 and that worked perfectly fine.
My second attempt at rooting was with my MT3G and that resulted in a bricked device because one of the lines of code was incorrect in the thread.
This, however, was clearly and plainly spelled out exactly to what happened to my phone.
I give you my thanks.
Awesome- glad to hear it's working well for people. If anybody sees areas that I could improve in the description just let me know.

ADB is worth it IMHO because it makes moving files around easy, whether you're rooted or not. You don't have to turn on SD card storage, you can just do adb pull/push etc to grab or put files when you need them. Worth the effort. The one click root should be out within the next couple days though, you are right about that one.
trigeek,
I already perm rooted earlier, but just wanted to say you gave a very nicely detailed explanation that anyone should be able to follow. Well done!
Great guide. I liked it a lot more than Unforgivens just because it doesn't rely on VisionARY which might mess things up.
Guide worked absolutely great, no problems. I did not try the visionary method first, but for some reason I just felt safer doing it in adb.
Thank you!
Sorry for the noob question...? but does this mean we have fully rooted to G2 and now we can load ROMS on it when they come out ????

Thanks for posting this, it was so easy!
Thank you so very much it was a success
this is my first rooting on an android device... im freaking out... but here i go.... if something happens i will just report my phone lost and get a new one i guess ahahah still... im scared.
Issues
I was temp rooted before using rage and then thru Visionary. But I decided to go back to stock till we have permanent root. I perm rooted today using this method. But I'm having the following issues:
1) adb remount
- remount failed: Operation not permitted
2) when using Root Explorer in /system, toggling Mount R/W does not work
- the only way to mount it R/O is thru terminal/adb shell. Once mounted R/O, the only way to mount R/W again is thru a reboot. Issuing mount -o remount ro /system either in terminal or adb shell does not work.
i actually changed my mind... im going to wait for a one click untended root i guess.... to scary...

Ok, to save some people some time here for rooting and opening it up to non-market apps on your bravo, and probably any motorola AT&T device.
1. Z4Root is the easiest way to root since you just get it from the market. One buttons press then done.
2. to modify the settings.db in /data/data/com.android.providers.settings/databases/ use the SuperOneClick which you can get here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=803682
3. I used root explorer, which you can get from the market and just edited the /system/etc/motorola/com.android.providers.settings/secure.mkitso
and /system/etc/motorola/com.motorola.android.providers.settings/settings.mkitso files in place. Copying them, editing them, and chmodding them didn't seem to work for me for whatever reason. The way I did it, you don't have to do anything other than edit the file in text editor and factory reset your phone.
Rooted mine the other day using the Droid 2 root method at modmymobile.
I can't post links yet, so here's the instructions:
dragonius said:
Setup:
- Make sure you have ADB installed properly and the latest Motorola drivers.
- Download attached archive
- Extract to a directory, I used C:\Droid2Root
- Make sure you have USB degugging enabled
- Change connection to PC Mode
Process:
- Open Command Prompt (Start - Run - cmd - Enter)
- adb devices (to verify the connection)
- cd C:/Droid2Root
- adb push Superuser.apk /sdcard/Superuser.apk
- adb push su /sdcard/su
- adb push busybox /sdcard/busybox
- adb push rageagainstthecage-arm5.bin /data/local/tmp/rageagainstthecage-arm5.bin
- adb shell
- cd data/local/tmp
- chmod 0755 rageagainstthecage-arm5.bin
- ./rageagainstthecage-arm5.bin
- Let the process run until the prompt returns you to C:/Droid2Root (be patient, it takes a while, but does happen. If not, reboot phone and try again.)
- adb devices (to verify the connection)
- adb shell (you should now have a # prompt)
- mount -o rw,remount -t ext3 /dev/block/mmcblk1p21 /system
- cp /sdcard/Superuser.apk /system/app/Superuser.apk
- cp /sdcard/su /system/bin/su
- cp /sdcard/busybox /system/bin/busybox
- chmod 4755 /system/bin/su
- chmod 4755 /system/bin/busybox
- mount -o ro,remount -t ext3 /dev/block/mmcblk1p21 /system
- exit
Once you have achieved root, to update the Superuser.apk to the latest version, run these commands:
- adb shell
- su
- mount -o rw,remount -t ext3 /dev/block/mmcblk1p21 /system
- rm /system/app/Superuser.apk
- pm uninstall com.noshufou.android.su
Then search on the market for Superuser and download the one by ChainsDD. Confirmed working on latest Droid2 2.2 OTA & the new leaked 2.3.15 OTA.

On the Bravo its not "PC Mode", I think its "Portal and Tools" Other then that, everything worked flawlessly.
Thanks, a bunch. I actually used the Z4Root app from the market and it worked flawlessly. Now I'm just trying to figure out how to allow non market apps and maybe get an overclock going on this. any suggestions?

I just bought this phone for my younger brother and I'm impressed. I have a Droid Incredible and its just as smooth. I also verified that the Z4root app from the marketplace roots the phone.
Did anyone get it unlocked yet
Yeah, it's a great phone. I'm trying to get the settings.db thing to work so we can install non-market apps, but it doesn't seem to be working. I got the db modded and put back in place, but I still don't see the option in the application manager screen.
IMO this is the #2 android phone on AT&T next to the captivate. that SAMOLED is great and the GPU on the captivate is top notch.
Anyway, if anyone can assist on the non-market app thing that would be great.
So far, I have rooted with Z4Root, removed the AT&T crapware, installed the MarketAccess to get around the stupid AT&T market filters. Last thing is to get the non-market apps going. After that it's a matter of waiting for this device to gain popularity and some custom ROMs.
I managed to get my Bravo to install non-market apps using:
1. SuperOneClickv1.5.5-ShortFuse
2. Click Here
I am not sure if just step 2 alone would be OK though.
Remember, you have to factory reset after you have finished with step 2.
Good Luck!
I edited my original post with the steps and tools I used to get the phone rooted and non-market unlocked.
Wait so can some explain how to unlock it?

No problem
I'm lost here,
Downloaded z4root onto my phone because it's not available on Market,
but it won't let me run the z4root.apk because it's not a market app.
total newb here, so any help would be appreciated.
thanks
Nevermind, got z4 to install using Android Central's Sideload Wonder Machine, then rooted my phone no problem, installed TiTanium backup, and rid of the bloatware.
Phone processes quicker, from settings, fetching list of running apps, data manager, manager etc, list loads much quicker now.
How did you go about getting rid of the garbage-ware? curious.
Hi I'm posting here in hopes to get a response because I cannot seem to get a response on the S1C forum. I rooted with z4root but cannot get non market apps enabled using S1C. I have .net framework 4.0 using vista and the motorola drivers from their site. I get as far as "getting mount path" and then it fails. Am I missing something or should this be working for me. And if so, what could be the problem? Many thanks.
SideloadWonderMachine worked for me, give it a shot. 2 clicks to add an app. Pretty foolproof (I am a fool).
Rooted my Bravo using adb install z4root (linux PC) then ran z4root from phone, worked great.
just rooted Bravo using Droid2Root files and manual ADB commands, from the thread that Gumpo10k shared in this thread, up above. Worked great, now I need a good 2.2 ROM to get tethering working.
This thread is copied and modified from the G2 thread by trigeek for the Desire Z:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=834228
Apart from the changed hboot and wpthis-Z kernel module for the Desire Z instead of the G2, I have also updated the su-binary and SuperUser.apk to the latest version by ChainsDD
In no way I can be held responsible for any bricks to your phone. You are using this guide at your own risk!! I did test this guide on my own, and also on a friend's Desire Z.
As there was no manual rooting guide for the Desire Z, I posted it myself in order to help others that do not like visionary and like to do it 'the clean way'.
[GUIDE] Temp to permanent root on Desire Z, using rage instead of visionary
=================================================
There's already a guide here for obtaining permanent root using VISIONary, but some folks in #G2ROOT are having issues with the way that VISIONary modifies parititons. Using rage directly is a bit cleaner, since you know exactly what it's going to touch at each step of the way. I did NOT come up with any of this on my own, I'm building completely off of work that others have done. Speaking of which-
None of this would be possible without the tireless work that scotty2 put in. He stayed with the project for well over a month, through lots of smashed hopes and dead ends, until the solution was finally found. Were it not for his work, as well as the help of a few other key folks- we wouldn't be here. He deserves our thanks and some donations! We're talking hundreds of hours of work here, a couple bucks is not too much for that. His paypal is:
[email protected]
Send him some love! I'm not asking for anything myself, because I spent a half hour putting this together, and that doesn't deserve any donations!
DESIRE Z ROOT INSTRUCTIONS
=================================================
These are modified instructions based on the ones posted at http://bit.ly/g2root that use Visionary. A number of people have run into issues with the way that Visionary juggles around temporary partitions, and using the original root exploit is a much easier, and cleaner method for achieving permanent root. This tutorial will walk you through the rooting process by first achieving temporary root, and moving on to permanent root.
REQUIREMENTS
=================================================
•Visionary disabled at boot or uninstalled completely
•Android Terminal Emulator app
•ADB
•desirez-combined-root.zip (Attached to this post)
In the commands to run below, $ or # represent the prompt and should NOT be entered as part of the commands.
VERY IMPORTANT!
Visionary has caused filesystem corruption for some users during the rooting process. Before attempting the instructions below, make sure that you have "auto run on boot" turned OFF, and reboot your system. Since you will not need visionary anyway after this, you might as well just uninstall visionary and reboot NOW before doing anything.
TEMP ROOT
=================================================
ON YOUR PC:
Unzip the z-temp-root files to a folder. From a cmd window or terminal, navigate to that folder and execute these commands:
Code:
$ 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/*
ON YOUR PHONE:
1.Launch Terminal Emulator
2.
Code:
/data/local/tmp/rage
3.Wait for the message: "Forked #### childs."
4.Menu > Reset Term - Terminal Emulator will exit.
5.Launch Terminal Emulator, it Force Closes. Launch a second time, and you'll have a root shell
6.**NOTE**: in the original directions from the XDA thread, you are instructed to run the /data/local/tmp/root script here. DON'T do this just yet. Leave the terminal window open.
PERM ROOT
=================================================
ON YOUR PC:
unzip z-perm-root and navigate to that folder. There will be four files. You will need to push two of these to your phone: hboot_7230_0.84.2000_100908.nb0 and wpthis-Z.ko. The other two files are optional for checksum verification.
Code:
$ adb push hboot_7230_0.84.2000_100908.nb0 /data/local
$ adb push wpthis-Z.ko /data/local
Optional but might came in handy:
Code:
$ adb push md5checksum /sdcard/md5checksum
ON YOUR PHONE:
You should still have terminal emulator up, at a root prompt. Now run:
Optional but recommended:
Code:
# /data/local/tmp/busybox md5sum /data/local/*
You should see:
hboot_7230_0.84.2000_100908.nb0 2ce1bdd5e4c1119ccfcecb938710d742
wpthis-Z.ko c73c5e77c91d306c418983c002b60b93
In case your hboot or wpthis-Z.ko file do not have the same md5hash as shown above, DO NOT CONTINUE. This means your file is corrupt or you are using a different file, for example the one for the G2 instead of Desire Z.
Now, let's turn off security for permanent flashing:
Code:
# insmod /data/local/wpthis-Z.ko
init_module 'wpthis-Z.ko' failed (Function not implemented)
That means it worked. This next step is CRUCIAL. You must make sure that you are writing to the proper partition here or you could brick your phone. To be absolutely clear- the partition is mmcblk(zero)p(one)(eight)
# dd if=/data/local/hboot_7230_0.84.2000_100908.nb0 of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p18
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
You should see some messages indicating that it was written.
Code:
# /data/local/tmp/root
This will lock in root, and give you 'su' access in the future. Next, run:
Code:
# sync
Now wait at least a minute, just to be safe. After waiting, reboot your phone using the power button. After it finishes starting up, launch the terminal emulator, and type 'su'. You should get the prompt asking you to grant permissions. If you got the prompt, congratulations! You have permanent root!
Nice guide, thanks
Thank you Mr Q. works like a charm!
first of all.. thanks for this great guide. Everything went perfect until I came to the step to lock in root. After the command "/data/local/tmp/root" I get this error:
mkdir failed for /system/xbin, File exists
when I just ignore it and type sync after that I have no root acces after a reboot.
Does anybody have a solution for it? I have already done a hardreset with the same results.
thanks in advance...
So this only roots your phone? Or does it s-off as well? From what I understand this s-offs as well because you're pushing the hboot as well.
EDIT: Nevermind. I read the thread again and it does indeed s-off as well.

having the same issue here
So I'm looking into these S-OFF and rooting threads and here is two bricks too. Does anyone have an answer for these two or should I skip this? Did the hboot do this or was it due to some problem in inserted kernel module? (I.E. the reboot of the emmc controller resulted in a ****ed up file system?)

Ok, so I have figured out how to get out of this "quietly brilliant" loop.
First of all, this isn't a brick and all that is needed to fix this is a quick factory reset from the bootloader.

Ok, so does any one have an explanation why this happened?
1. It wasn't wrong or screwed hboot, otherwise we would be facing a real brick?
Was it the root method? Was it the wpthis-Z.ko?
It might have been the kernel module, but I can't be sure about that with so little knowledge I have. (sure not the module itself but the kick to the emmc?) Just that it seems to be more likely option than a rooting attempt on a cached r-o file system?
I'm not complaining about the guide, it is specific and easy to follow but I would really love to have these semi bricks etc inspected more closely. It is not really helping to encourage ppl to root and try safe-off when we have unexplained bricks and semi-bricks around

I don't know about others, but I didn't on mine. I was rooting it for the first time. Also, I don't know if this has anything to do with it, but I have the Bell version from Canada.
The root script threw an error for me too, so just to be safe I opened the script and typed in the commands manually. If you have problems with the script, just run these commands from the root terminal on your phone:
Code:
/data/local/tmp/busybox killall rage
mount -o rw,remount -t ext3 /dev/block/mmcblk0p25 /system
mkdir /system/xbin
/data/local/tmp/busybox cp /data/local/tmp/busybox /system/xbin/busybox
chmod 4755 /system/xbin/busybox
/system/xbin/busybox --install -s /system/bin
cp /sdcard/Superuser.apk /system/app/Superuser.apk
cp /sdcard/su /system/bin/su
chmod 4755 /system/bin/su
mount -o ro,remount -t ext3 /dev/block/mmcblk0p25 /system
sync
"mkdir /system/xbin" just creates a directory, if it already exists you can ignore this command and proceed.
Hope this helps someone.. Thanks to the OP for the scripts.
Have a quick look, /system/xbin already seems to exist on my phone too.
So is there an error in the script ? e.g. needs to ignore if the directory already exists ? Or am I (we ?) missing something ?

Good info, thanks. Perhaps just comment out that line of the script, to save running it all by hand (and therefore be prone to more error ?) ?

I did that first.. it threw more errors with the mount commands because I'd already run the script once, so some of the commands were repated. If it's your first run through, commenting it out would be fine.
I only did it line by line so I could see any more errors for myself and decide if they were important. As it turns out the script is very simple and only involves moving files around and changing their permissions.. anything that goes wrong should be immediately apparent even if you have no experience with shell commands.

Thanks, I was starting to worry about the bad experiences outlined above, given that this method appeared to be a more reliable one than VISIONary, and a route I was going to go down. But I'm pretty comfortable with shell scripts, so your input makes me feel a whole lot better !

Yay, I just perma-rooted my phone using this method, many thanks to those who came up with the method in the first place, plus this handy guide too.
I got the message about /system/xbin already existing, but you can just ignore that message, it runs the rest of the script anyway.

So after doing the guide you simply reeboot your phone into bootloader and select factory reset?
And then will the device be perm root and s-off???
Thanks go to goroh_kun, ayati and DoomLord. All the usual warnings about attempting to root a phone apply. This works on a phone with build number V16R24C, which is current as of this writing. I can't speak for any later updates.
You will need the following:
Java SDK (required for android dev kit – get the JDK): http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/index.html
ADK: http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html
ADB driver: http://spf.fmworld.net/oss/usb_driver/f-05d/index.html
F-05D rooting files: http://ayati.cocolog-nifty.com/blog/files/F05Droot.zip
zergRush files (tested with v4): http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1319653
Optional:
- a terminal application of your choice
- busybox installer from the market
- English versions of the .bat files (remove the .txt extension): http://pastebin.com/RBCWvzES and http://pastebin.com/EQfjpDAM
Part 1, installing the ADB driver:
1. Install the JDK
2. Install the ADK
3. Go to C:\Users\YourUsername\.android and edit the adb_usb.ini file.
4. Add 0x04C5 on a separate line at the bottom. Save and close the file.
5. Reboot the computer or restart adb
6. On the phone, press home, settings, applications – toggle Unknown sources to On.
7. Same place, press development and toggle USB debugging to On.
8. Connect the phone to the PC, and when prompted, navigate to the location where you extracted the ADB driver.
Part 2, rooting the phone:
1. Extract the zergRush and rooting files to the same folder. (put the English versions in the same spot if want to use them instead).
2. With the phone connected and in debug mode, run the f05dsu.bat file (DO NOT RIGHT CLICK AND SELECT RUN AS ADMIN).
3. You first will get asked to go to Settings, Setting my body, Step/activity counter app, Pedometer use, is turned On. Press space after doing that.
4. You will then get asked to toggle the same setting OFF once, then back to ON. After doing that, press space and the phone will reboot
5. Wait for the phone to reboot and connect over USB properly. Press space when ready.
6. Files will be transferred over and the phone rooted. If you don't get any errors, press space and wait for the phone to reboot again.
7. The phone should now be rebooted, and you can install Busybox and Superuser from the market.
I had trouble getting the Busybox installers to work properly at first – the stericson one would wipe su and require re-running the f05dsu.bat, and the jrummy one would simply not start properly. I suggest trying the jrummy16 installer first just to see if it runs. In the end I had to do things manually to get it installed, but once that was done both installers worked fine.
Part 3, optional, installing Busybox manually:
1. If superuser has been lost, re-root the phone.
2. Open up your favorite terminal application and enter the following manually:
Code:
su
soff
mount -o rw,remount /system /system
dd if=/data/local/busybox of=/system/xbin/busybox
chown root.shell /system/xbin/busybox
chmod 04755 /system/xbin/busybox
/system/xbin/busybox --install -s /system/xbin
dd if=/data/local/su of=/system/xbin/su
chown root.root /system/xbin/su
chmod 06755 /system/xbin/su
echo insmod /data/local/lsm_disabler.ko > /system/xbin/soff
chmod 755 /system/xbin/soff
At this point you should be able to do a "which su" and get /system/xbin/su as a response. If you don't get any response, Busybox is not properly installed (start over). Doing a "ls -ls /system/xbin/su" should also NOT return a symbolic link to Busybox – if it does, you'll need to copy over su from /data/local again. The same goes for soff. Once this is done, start up jrummy's Busybox installer to confirm the installed version of Busybox, and upgrade it if you want.
Thanks very much, worked well but sadly I managed to boot loop my phone after rooting it.
Now I need to SIM unlock the phone as the factory unlock code is gone.
F05D rooting
Hi there i have successfully rooted my Fujitsu F05D have root access but I can't seem to loads busy box, I have permission through superuser and it goes through the motions but at the end it says " install unsuccessful".
The files are in the system/bin folder but something is wrong. if I use busy box installer jrimmy16 it just say installing and keeps going and never stops if I got to to scripts and click fix file permissions
" run script" it too just spins round and round..
hmm any hints guys.
Don't do a forced install or whatever it's called, that's how I bootlooped and later SIM locked mine, still yet to send it back haha.
Hello, is this working?? I want to root my Docomo Fujitsu Arrows X F-10.. And also my phone keeps on rebooting Please help.. Any ideas why?
does it work on Fujitsu T-02D?
