I have a samsung continuum with dl17 and I want to root it and gain super user acess but I do not have a computer can some one figure out how to manually do this via android terminal and post the command lines here so I can copy them and enter them I have tried some guides I must be doing something wrong none of it works I get errors like cp not found and cannot chmod file not found
Thanks
Try z4root. Click it for more info on it... thread is kinda old, but I still think it works for your phone even know its not posted.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=833953
does z4root also work on HTC devices?
It does not work with baseband dl17 which is what my phone is I cannot use z4root
I think you have to use adb. But try http://wiki.rootzwiki.com/wiki/index.php/Samsung_Continuum under "IF ALL ELSE FAILS" inside the terminal.
I dont have a pc is there anyway without ?
I know. Have you tried entering those commands in the terminal tho? But have to edit them a little. Do you know how to use Linux commands ( cp, chmod, ls, cd, ./, etc)?

I cannot flash roms or kernel. It won't boot recovery!!! I have stock rooted shift. How do I make a custom recovery? And install roms and kernel
Probably the easiest way is to download ROM manager from the market. The first option in the app is flash clockworkmod. Very fast and automagic. Have fun! Happy flashing.
I have that and kernel manager. Flashed it twice after it didn't work the first time. It hangs up on the HTC boot logo after I try to boot recovery
turn off your phone
power it on while holding vol down.
does the first line say S-OFF or S-ON?
S on I didn't do nand
I've tried a few more things. I used visionary to root my phone. Was that the wrong thing? It all works. But I can't flash. Lol

That's just a temp root. Go into the development section and use the GUI Root and recovery tool...worked for me.

Yeah if you want you can use terminal emulator on your phone just open it up hit su get your super user permissions then start the commands the first time I rooted I did it using adb the second time I rooted I lost my adb and just chrome to phoned all the codes from my pc to root it from my phone
Sent from my PG06100 using Tapatalk
Alright!! Thank you all who have been helping. I have only a few more questions because I'm a little slow ^_^ ok, first. From the emulator I typed Su and gave permission.... now what? I looked for the commands in development and couldn't find. I'm trying to turn s off. I don't care so much about perm or temp root right now as long as I get that annoying s on to be s off. Lmao. I need commands please!!! Assume I have no access to a computer!
Check out the development subforum. It's a sticky thread by bcnice20.
i dont need a signature
Alright I have that, now its not explained there but in order to do that via the terminal do I need to dl the framework and sdk to my phone? I do not have a running computer right now. I had a crap amd system which is officially dead. It's now all spare parts. So doing the shell on a computer isn't going to work for me :/ yes, I'm difficult. Lol

the commands given in that thread is the exact ones you would need, but since you're using a terminal emulator in your phone, you don't need adb.
do step 1
skip step 2
do step 3,4,5 via your terminal
do step 6
extra points:
once you're perma-rooted, you can go straight to installing Rom Manager, and flash clockworkrom that way.
then reboot your phone to recovery, and do a nandroid backup.
once that's done, you're all set.
Thank you dude!!!!!!! That rocks!!! I'm at work and I'm doing it right now. This is way more important than work ^_^ anyone else addicted to Android?

When the perm root method was finally developed I was at work with no access to a PC. I ended up rooting via phone terminal just because I couldn't bear to wait a couple hours until I got home.
^ Shift Faced
Could someone explain step 1 and 3 for me if I'm using android terminal emulator. I tried it but nothing happened. My device is temprooted. I download the file into the download folder. I use root explorer to extract it... where?? I tried a couple places even the root folder (Its not in SD card) then once its good how do I check the md5 from the terminal. I type Su to get permission then what? The string in the post doesn't seem to do anything no matter how I type it. Or maybe I just don't know the command. I'm fairly new to this kinda thing. :/
That's awesome. I'm feeling the same way. I don't want to wait for a computer it might be a few weeks I'm impatient now lol
Wait, I got part of it. I just need to know how to save the file to the root of the SD card and then how to check the md5sum. Once I know that I'm good to go

Yes i will do it for you. I have all the info i need from Scaryghoul. Given everything goes well. I have a feeling you missed a step.
Heres what i will do
1.DL the attached file here :

2.put in the Directory "C:\New Folder\"
3.Open powershell and type "set-executionpolicy remotesigned" w/o quotes of course (as for rest of my description)
4.type "cd C:\New Folder\TempRootEvoShift.ps1
5. Let it do its thing
6. Copy the two necessary files "misc.img" and the 2.2 install "PG06IMG.zip" to the sd card root found here:
Second mics.img mirror: [url]http://dl.dropbox.com/u/15373824/misc.img and:Mirror for PG06IMG: http://dev-host.org/xmlaaco0s2ph/PG06IMG.zip
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
7.Run android terminal emulator. and type "dd if=/sdcard/misc.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p17"
8. Reboot into bootloader where it will flash the "PG06IMG.zip" and reboot.
9. Get visionary like we did at work and hopefully you can live with temproot till i get the permroot down.
to everyone else this would be the correct way right? Of course double checking before i touch my friends phone.
Ok then im missing the ruu and 2.2. That would be the misc correct? So i think i need frevo again. I mightve gotten a bad one.
Sent from my PG06100 using XDA App
I don't know how to help with temp root as it's basically just copy and paste once you have temp root just download the RUU and the misc posted in the thread (if you don't know the thread ill get a, link) and put them on the root of your sd card. then my personal reccomendation is just do the rest from terminal emulator on your phone.
Type:
su (then allow superuser permissions
Then type the command posted in the thread (there's only one)
Then flash the RUU in hboot by turning the phone completley off (no fastboot) and holding down volume down and power at the same time a screen should come up and it will load the zip.
During the process the phone might reboot once just don't touch it. It automatically boots back up into bootloader

3/14. I had to do a complete reset after a botched install of Revolver
I really want to get back to the PRIME ROM I had running before I messed up.
On Sunday, I did a one click root, then installed CWM and then the PRIME ROM ( wished I would have left well enough alone.)
Now I can't even get this Tablet to root ( TF101). ( Razorclaw)
I updated to 4.0.3 yesterday. Could that be the issue? If so, any suggestions on how I get back to the Prime ROM, CWM and root.
Thanks in advance, and please feel free to kick the sh!t out of this noob.
ViperMod will root ICS on both TF101 and Prime.
I just tried vipermod today and it won't work . I'm using Ubuntu and at every line in the script it says " cannot stat no such file or directory
Sent from my Transformer TF101 using xda premium
Sounds like it might be path errors. ViperMod is only a batchfile of ADB commands. You should be able to open up the batchfile and manually type and run the pertinent commands at a prompt if you have to, changing path and filenames where necessary.
You need to
chmod +x adb
Also remember to ensure adb can see your device. Use
adb devices
If your device is not seen, you need to add a udev rule in /etc/udev/rules.d/

I did that and it does see the tf. But once I am in the path where my adb resides then I do sudo sh primetime.sh I still get all those errors.
Do I need to chmod the adb file that's residing in the PrimeTime folder as well?

Try and not use root explorer... It is 100% safer to use adb and the command line to do things like this.... If you want the commands to run to do the job then PM me, and I will give you a rundown.
Too many people with this phone and other phones have had a TON of trouble with root explorer and other file manger apps making more than just permissions changes to files, things like corrupting the files, and even changing their file type bit.

LOL, it's not that bad, just make sure you have a windows recovery disk with you incase you screw up the MBR. I have done that, then nothing boots at all. Scary as hell. it's super easy to fix, but you need a windows restore disk. Ignore this and don't be scared unless something bad happens, then run to google and be calm. There is very little you can do that is not easy to fix. Just don't format your whole hard drive or something if you want it working with windows.

Ok it gets a little techy here, make sure to follow all directions carefully. It says you can access adb via recovery, don't go that way since "recovery" on the LG mytouch is simply a factory reset. This will actually replace that stock recovery with more extensive options and the ability to flash custom ROMs (cm9). I suggest using adb while fully booted up.
