I have tried the latest version of Visionary "R14" but it doesn't work, I have also tried Visionary "R3" "R11" "R12" and "13" and they all don't work on my OTA updated T-mobile G2.... either for temp-root or permanent root..I have tried the ADB/Rage/gfree method of rooting and I getting an ERROR on the last part instructions.... ""## mkdir failed for /system/xbin, File exists"
My main question is if anyone could check to see if their version of the Visionary app is the version 7 or r7...if so could you please used titanium backup to send me a copy of the file....
thank you so so much...
Not sure why a specific older version of Visionary would work if the newer (or older) versions would not.
Regarding your error message, is that when you run the command:
/data/local/tmp/root
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
If so you will note that the instructions on the wiki state immediately below that: You may see an error message along the lines of "mkdir: /system/xbin already exists", but if so you can ignore that, the rest of the script should still run ok.
If you boot into the bootloader (press volume down while powering on device) do you have S-OFF? If so you know that the GFREE part at least did work.

As has been explained in the Development section, be VERY CAREFUL with Visionary as it is known to brick phones.
When I first got my DZ I was eager to Root and uses V14 to obtain root but remember that this is not a 'Real' S-OFF. GFREE is the best and safest method to use. I was a lucky newbie who didn't end up with a brick!

yes you are exactly right...when I input in this command " /data/local/tmp/root" then I got back this error "mkdir failed for /system/xbin, File exists" you see the difference, instead of "already exits" I did ignore the error message but when I tried to used a root required app like root explorer...It states the phone needs to rooted before the app can work....Lastly when I enter into the boot loader "I indeed notice that S-OFF" the problem is that the phone is not rooted not even temporary...as far as visionary r7 goes I recall after the OTA, it did work on my phone for temporary rooting...it is when I attempted to used visionary r14 to obtain permanent root that visionary r7 was overwritten by r14...which doesn't work even for temp rooting thanks for your input

right now...neither method works not the "visionary r14 or ADB/RAGE/GFREE" I wouldn't mind using either method, the problem is that ADB/Rage/GFREE METHOD keep giving this error message "mkdir failed for /system/xbin, File exists" which I have done a ton of research and still can find a fixed,

Crap I typed up this response but I guess I didn't submit it because it's gone...
OK what you are saying is actually good news, it means you had temp root at one point or gfree would not have worked (you would not have S-OFF now)
If you can get temp root to work even one more time you can flash ClockWorkMod recovery and then load a custom/pre-rooted ROM.
I do suspect that you have messed up your system with your various attempts at rooting (especially the fact that you used visionary and other deprecated root methods) and you need to wipe your system and start over with either a custom ROM or a pre-rooted stock ROM.
I would start by running this section of the root process:
ON YOUR PHONE:
1. Launch Terminal Emulator
2. Execute /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
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
If you have a # prompt that means you have temp root, from there I would use flash_image to flash ClockWorkMod 3.0.5 to the phone (see guide)
Get ClockWorkMod here
Once you have CWM installed you can basically ignore your current OS and flash whatever you want, you can go with a custom ROM or if you don't want to do that you can go with a pre-rooted stock ROM (see this thread). In any case I would definitely wipe first (from within CWM)
Yeah, flashing a pre-rooted custom ROM is probably your cleanest solution at this point. If you want to try and fix what you have though, you can try the following steps:
1. Follow the instructions to get temp root with rage again.
2. In Terminal, try these commands and look for an error at any point (this is what the root script is actually doing, with the addition of the deletion of the xbin file/directory since that seems to be what is messing up):
Code:
# /data/local/tmp/busybox killall rage
# mount -o rw,remount -t ext3 /dev/block/mmcblk0p25 /system
# rm -rf /system/xbin
# 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
Flashing a custom ROM is probably easier though.

Folks victory is mine....No, VICTORY IS OURS, I sincerely like to thank all of you all, who replied with helpful suggesting...especially the following members "raitchison" from West Hill, CA and "ianmcquinn" a true senior member of xda-developer.
This is what I did to finally get the phone rooted....
I took "Raitchison" advice by trying to use flash_image to flash ClockWorkMod recovery... but during the process I could not get pass copying file to the phone root system folder usind android terminal emulator ...so I input this command "chmod 777/system" to gain write access to the folder...after doing that I manually moved busybox file to system folder and attempted a rooting the phone using the rooting instruction from the HTC G2/DESIRE Z wiki site...at...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/wik...cess_.28Permanent_Root_.2F_.22Permaroot.22.29
And this time around, everything went as normal after rooting the phone I open root required app and Wa La...no error message...
Guys I once again wants thank you all for the support....I also looked forward to help out others facing the same issue...so if anyone has encounter the same or similar issue please feel free to post here and I will response....
Can any one help me I am trying to close this thread...How do I go about doing it....thanks
There is no need to close the thread, if anyone has a similar problem and finds it via search they can come in here and bring the discussion back up, otherwise if there is no activity it will naturally fall to the bottom of the thread list.
It works for me I just did it yday using visionary and gfree all on my phone weird that it doesn't work for you?

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

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?
This guide was tested on my samsung galaxy [email protected] gt-B5330 and it worked.
WARNING: this can brick your phone, used on your own risk (both eyes wide open).
The idea behing can be ported on any phone that allows you to upload custom firmware (most samsungs with odin).
The idea is that you escalate to superuser by setting suid on /system/bin/toolbox executable.
By duing that you can run most of the unix commands on android as a superuser.
I is enought for you to copy su utility somewhere where there is not a nosuid option on mountpoint. and make it a suided executable then execute su and get the #.
It's all down hill from here.
I cannot verify for every ics rom out there, but it seems that now ics uses ext4 filesystem for the system partition.
I have made a script that inspects a stock rom firmware isolate the permissions for the toolbox executable and add to them SUID,SUIG.
After that it pachs the firmware back and you can flash it to your device and have a easylly rootable device. (I will post the stept to take to get a standard rooted device).
What you need:
a linux/gnu (it will not work with cygwin because we have to mount the ext4 partition).
simg2img utility (you can get it from xda site it is in ext4_utility packet).
su, busybox and superuser.apk binaries for android (you can take them from a rooting package).
heimdal (for linux) xor odin (for windows and if you cannot flash the firmware on your phone form linux).
I've put all untilities that are not standard into the tar.
just unpack and you have the universal-patch.sh to run over an .tar.md5 firware stock rom.
And post-firmwareUpdate.sh to run after you flash in order to make the root a standard android root.
This was not tested on any other phone (was tested only on GT-B5330) and do it on your own risk.
This rooting does not exploit any weakness (or flaw) in kernel or any thing, it just modifies the stock firmware to make it more flexible so it should be forward compatible with any version of android after ics.
I assume this would exclude HTC's since you meed to be s-off to flash a firmware. I would probably verify that and edit the title if necessary. Other than that, this looks like it could be helpful.
Help to understand the procedure
Hi ETTT,
first of all thanks for your job and effort in finding a solution to this issue.. it has been driving me crazy till now.. but thanx to you i see the light :good: I see it but i cannot really understand the procedure.. Could you please write a step by step explanation of what i need to do. (I am not what we could call a genius with linux).
Thanks in advance.

If you are refering to the procedure that the script is doing here is the version of step by step (with-out the script):
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1956653
If you want to know the step by step with the script, here (I will not respond to more basic than this, like how to boot ubuntu and stuff.):
mkdir -p /tmp/foo
sudo mkdir /mnt
cd /tmp/foo
tar -xzf universal-patch.tar.gz
export PATH=./:$PATH
{get the firmware here and unzip it, it should have a file with .tar.md5 suffix}
./universal-patch.sh {the name of the firmware including the .tar.md5 suffix}
wait a while. you should have by the way about 10 times the size of the zip as free space.
if all goes well you will have a myfrm.tar.md5 rady for flashing.
flash the firmware, and after boot enable usb debuging, hook the phone to pc
sudo adb devices
./post-firmwareUpdate.sh
you should have a rooted phone.
you cannot go any more basic than that.
Have fun.

I don't know windows that much to make a batch clone of the script. so you need linux.
But you can use a live cd (maybe from ubuntu) to run the script.

that patch is an xdelta patch.
There is an xdelta application on windows, don't know if it works, but it should work.

If you are refering to the procedure that the script is doing here is the version of step by step (with-out the script):
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1956653
If you want to know the step by step with the script, here (I will not respond to more basic than this, like how to boot ubuntu and stuff.):
mkdir -p /tmp/foo
sudo mkdir /mnt
cd /tmp/foo
tar -xzf universal-patch.tar.gz
export PATH=./:$PATH
{get the firmware here and unzip it, it should have a file with .tar.md5 suffix}
./universal-patch.sh {the name of the firmware including the .tar.md5 suffix}
wait a while. you should have by the way about 10 times the size of the zip as free space.
if all goes well you will have a myfrm.tar.md5 rady for flashing.
flash the firmware, and after boot enable usb debuging, hook the phone to pc
sudo adb devices
./post-firmwareUpdate.sh
you should have a rooted phone.
you cannot go any more basic than that.
Have fun.

I thought I'd let folks know what I did in order to root on 8.5.1 and not have slowness. This isn't a complete walkthrough and assumes you have ADB drivers installed and working and access to ADB.
First I used the exploit found in this thread.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2544736
I downloaded kindlehd2013_root.zip and also got the zip copy of superuser from
http://download.clockworkmod.com/superuser/superuser.zip
I extracted all to a folder. I then replaced the su from the kindlehd2013_root.zip with the superuser.zip armeabi folder version. Then you run the commands it has in the post.
adb push su /data/local/tmp/
adb push rootme.sh /data/local/tmp/
adb push exploit /data/local/tmp/
adb shell chmod 755 /data/local/tmp/rootme.sh
adb shell chmod 755 /data/local/tmp/exploit
Before I ran this last line I made sure su had the correct permissions:
type adb shell:
then ran the command
chmod 6755 /data/local/tmp/su
adb shell /data/local/tmp/exploit -c "/data/local/tmp/rootme.sh"
now you can get root via ADB by going into
adb shell
then run the command su
from there I made sure the su had the correct permissions again in the new location:
mount -o remount,rw /system
I had a complaint about space so I just removed the officesuite.apk in /system/apps to the sdcard
chown 0:0 /system/xbin/su
chmod 6755 /system/xbin/su
Then using the superuser.apk from the zip installed it.
adb install superuser.apk
Hope this helps others have success. From here you can follow the tutorials to get Google apps and such. I'd love to run an alternative ROM but have the LTE version and haven't been able to find one that has working LTE.
Hi Macman005!!
I want to use your method to root my Hd 8.9, I dont want too install a room, only install google services to use my chromecast. But before I want to Know:
How I move the officesuite.apk in /system/apps to the sdcard, if I have the space complaint you had?
I really appreciate any help you can provide

On device you can use es file explorer -> enable root explorer from the left side the click on root explorer -> mount r/w -> then make sure /system is rw
Via ADB
adb pull /system/app/OfficeSuite.apk
adb shell
su for root
mount -o remount,rw /system
rm /system/app/OfficeSuite.apk
Hi Macman005
I had follow your instructions and I had manage to root my hd 8.9, total success!!!
Thanks!!
hi there folks,
so i've read through a bunch of guides and steps to accompish getting root on a kindle fire hd 8.9 running 8.5.1
i followed your above steps to the T but everytime i try and execute the exploit i get a error like this

Detected kernel physical address at 0x80008000 form iomem

i read further into this post and in others that moving files around was the answer but i'm unable to move the files using
Code:
./adb shell
mv /system/OfficeSuite.apk /sdcard
i get a error like "failed cross device link"
so i'm guessing i'll only have access after rooting to move or delete files in /system

Use adb pull to get the file out of /system/app then just try to delete it. I'm guessing it won't work though without root.
Did you check to see if su was in the /system/xbin/su dir?

i've tried tinkering with permissions with no luck
i'm not worried about root on the kindle os, i mostly want to stick CM11 on it - i recall reading a article on cyanogenmod's page about flashing the CM11 rom on the kindle it didn't mention that root was required i just kind of assumed it was to be able to install a second bootloader etc
If you don't need to follow my root you just use this tutorial. The root being slow isn't a big deal since you'll replace it with cm11

sweet thanks for the tip - i'll give this one a try (i'd tried a couple other methods with no success)
Everything good for me until:

Then I get:

After that nothing works. Any ideas where i might have taken the wrong turn?

Im having the same problem as Justanumber, and I'm not sure if I have the su in the /system/xbin folder
I was able to root 8.5.1. What I did was try the Bin4ry method, first option 1, when that didn't work option 2. It made my kindle run slow and was almost unusable. Being very patient due to the slowness, I tried the QEMU method. It seems like some things transferred to the kindle and others didn't and I got an error. I then went back to Bin4ry and ran unroot and got an error. The last thing I tried was to run root option 2 once more and success. I then went right to Hashcodes post and installed a second bootloader and cm11. I'm not a developer so I put everything I did. Maybe someone who knows what they are doing can figure out what is needed from all that. Whatever I did though, I got for on 8.5.1 without any issues once it went through
Sent from my HTC6525LVW using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
worked perfectly for me on 8.5.1, always a bit nervous messing with the kindle but no problems . Big thanks to the op. I didn't have any complaints about space, and there was none of the slowdown problems so many people complain about after rooting the new firmware. Now i have installed hashcode's cm12 port and its like a brand new gadget...
I got as far as "adb shell", but the su command returns "permission denied"
What exactly do you mean when you say "check su permissions." First time using ADB.
please help me

Thank you
Hello,
I'm following these instructions. When I run su, i get "Permission Denied."
Any ideas? The steps before seem to run fine.
When i run the exploit, i see the follwing:
Device detected: KFJWI (IMM76D)
Attempt acdb exploit...
KFJWI (IMM76D) is not supported.
Attempt fj_hdcp exploit...
Attempt msm_cameraconfig exploit...
Detected kernel physical address at 0x80008000 form iomem
Attempt put_user exploit...
---------- Post added at 04:27 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:48 PM ----------
I got it to work.
I enterd adb shell, then exploit again, without the rootme.sh argument.
Then su worked and I was able to get everything to run
Thanks for the instructions!
The first question I am not sure can be done but if it can I would like to know how. When applying prerooted firmwares in cmw recovery is it possible for it to look on mounted usb storage? I see the usb storage folder but when I click it is always empty so to install new firmware I have to transfer it to the internal sd of the fire tv first.
Secondly there is an option in the adb fire program where it asks if the firmware you want to install is located on a usb storage. Everytime I try to use this feature it can't find the drive or it finds the drive but does not see the firmware I have on it and again I have to transfer it to the unit.
Thanks in advance for the help.

I'd be interested in knowing more about your issue with adbFire not finding a drive. This is the first report I've seen of that. Regarding firmware installs...From adbFire's Help system:
Install AFTV firmware
Install firmware to AFTV. Upgrade (or downgrade) your AFTV firmware. This works for firmware on a mounted USB drive/stick and for firmware on your PC. When updating firmware from USB storage, adbFire looks on all devices for files with an extension of ".bin" or ".zip" and presents them for your choice.
Installing firmware from a usb stick/drive is nearly twice as fast as installing a firmware file located on your PC or LAN.
Please note that installation of firmware via Amazon's Native Recovery (this method) has been effectively obsoleted with the availibility of ClockworkMod, compiled for the Fire TV by [email protected]
IMPORTANT: Do not attempt to install custom Clockwork Mod firmware via Amazon Native Recovery. It will not work!

Yes I have tried both .zip and .bin but had no luck. The farthest I have gotten is I mount the drives via adbfirm and it will recognize a drive then tell me there is no firmware on the drive. Could it be the brand of usb stick I am using or does it need to be a powered usb?

If the drive is mounted, the linux find command should locate any *.bin or *.zip files, your brand or hub won't have any effect. I'm mainly replying to let you know I've read your post -- I won't have access to my rooted ftv until Monday morning at the earliest. It would also be helpful to see a log captured after you attempt to find firmware on your mounted drive. You should see something in the log like this:
searching usb for files
"./adb" shell su -c find /storage/usb -name *.bin -o -name *.zip

How would I go about capturing a log for you. Also just curious about my first question I wasn't sure is it possible to read a mounted usb in the custom recovery menu or must the fire tv be fully booted.
Also.. not sure if this helps but when I mount the usb stick using stick mount on the fire tv it does not give me the error of nothing found but the select firmware menu comes up and this is the only choice I have available "sh: find: not found"

None of my comments apply when booted to a custom recovery, you need to check with rbox for that.
adbFire logs are found using the File-View Log menu command. The various non-Kodi commands also require my busybox and the various support scripts, aka System Tools; I don't support busybox from other sources. I also ask that you be using the current version of adbFire when seeking support, currently 1.22.

The various non-Kodi commands also require my busybox and the various support scripts, aka System Tools; I don't support busybox from other sources.

The find command is missing. Install System Tools. This will install busybox as mentioned above, which will give you find.
The Install Firmware command should check for System Tools and warn you if they are missing. That will be fixed in the next update.

I installed system tools about 3 times as I am on the latest rooted firmware. But I just tried again and now and still no luck this is the log I get now.

I just noticed you're not using adbFire to mount your drive; I can't support stickmount, sorry. If you can change your mount location to be under /storage/usb it might work, idk. I know it does work with System Tools installed and adbFire mounting the usb drives.
I used adb Fire to mount my drive originally and it gives me the message that no firmwares are on the drive. Here is a log of me mounting in adb fire succesfully but then it unable to find the file.

Sorry, I can't duplicate your error on a clean system, with System Tools installed , multiple drives mounted with firmware sitting on each, just for purposes of testing. All firmwares were found, every time. The find command is pretty straightforward.
You may have some weird edge case I've overlooked in code, but I'd need to see a log from a clean system w/o third-party busybox, mount tools, etc. If we can spotlight a bug, I'd be happy to fix it.

I tried this when i first unboxed the unit and was unable to get it to read anything could it be the way I have the usb stick formatted or the way the zip file is named?

adbFire drive mount supports vfat,ex-fat,ext2-4,hpfs+ and ntfs. Install Firmware will find files with embedded spaces ,e.g. "test file.zip" or "test file.bin" but not "test file zip" or "test file bin".

my stick is a fat32 and the files is named update.zip so it should work?... The weird thing is it seems to get farther when I mount it using stick mount (it brings up a menu) then it does when I mount in adb fire although I have yet to get either method to work. I am gonna restore one a little later and do everything from adbfire and see if I can get you a log or mabye it will work.
Ok so I started from scratch and I am having the same issue here is the log.. I notice it saying the mount is busy I am not sure what that means.... I also installed es file explorer and I do not see the mounted usb storage anywhere on the sdcard even after it says it has mounted succesfully.
