[Q] Transformer (B60) Android 3.2 Rooting Issue? - Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I've just followed the guide to rooting the TF101 in One Click, via the Linux Boot method. It really is a brilliant application that was put together with the intention to save one a lot of time, however, although it tells me it has successfully completed and asks that I reboot the unit and to ensure that USB debugging is enabled, when I load Rom Manager it complains that it is not rooted. When I try to access terminal, I get the $, instead of the # and this does not change whether I Su, Sudo Su, Sudo Bash etc. In fact, I get Access Denied. Has anyone any recommendation?

Do you have the app "superuser" installed? If not, go to the market downlod and install it.

Ah! I have not. There's always something missing Thanks much, I will give it a shot!

No Joy
Ouch...I was certain that that would have done the trick.

...
I think the problem is that the superuser app wants to install an SU update but it fails and tells me that the zip file has been placed on my SD and to flash it, of course, that's kind of counter productive, considering that I need superuser to work, in order to be able to flash the superuser update.

[Q] My phone obviously has root... but not according to the shell. Need some help!

Hello xda, I have a bit of a problem:
I have a Samsung Exhibit which I rooted using the zergRush method found here on the forums. At first everything worked fine. But recently I was trying to push a modified system app to my phone using adb and it told me the action wasn't permitted. Checking the shell, and terminal emulator on my phone to see if I had superuser permissions failed. So I went about trying to root my phone again, which according to the zergRush script said was successfull, but checking the shell once again showed that I still did not have superuser permissions. I did a factory wipe of my phone in hopes of trying to get it to root again with no success. But here's the weird part, although it doesn't appear I have root access all my apps that require root access (titanium backup, my screenshot app, and some of widgetlocker's features) still fully function.....
Does anyone have any idea what's going on here? I would love my system folder access back
Thanks in advance.
Dumb question, but your H-Boot shows S-Off? Just covering the bases... Also, do you have Super User installed and functional?
To be honest... I don't know what H-Boot or S-Off means. Pretty new to all of this. Mind giving me a walkthrough? I have superuser installed yes. It's granting programs superuser permissions. But I can't access su in terminal emulator or in the shell.
Well, I'm not the top tier technical person here, so I'm not exactly sure on how to get your problem resumed, since I've not heard of that. On the other hand, there might be a different way to accomplish what you are trying to do.
What are you trying to achieve, pushing a modified system app to do what and where? My suggestion, might be to just put it on your phone through USB to the root folder and then move it in ES File manager, or w/e you use. If all you are doing is pushing.
Obviously ADB shell detects your device, but I'm not sure why it is saying it doesn't have SU access. My other suggestion is to redo the ADB/Android SDK installs. I had a problem where I installed them wrong, by installing too much and ADB did not work properly. So, there might be a chance your phone is fine, but the ADB/SDK are not proper, somehow.
Let me know.
If that were the case, and my phone was fine, wouldn't I be able to access super user through terminal emulator on my phone? Right now when typing su in terminal emulator, the pop up to grant superuser permissions appears but when you allow it to have su permission the # doesn't turn to a $ like it should. The more I think about it the more I think it's a problem with superuser. I've seen people talking about an update to superuser that can break your root? Mehhhh.
Seems like other have had this problem too... Not sure if a nandroid recovery will fix this, otherwise you might have to try to unroot, and then reroot.
Sorry, just might have to do a little more digging than I was able to. Good luck

One click root app!

Hello guys, as you know, the latest one click root that worked on the Transformer was SparkyRoot. Well, with the newest EeePad update (9.2.1.21), it is impossible to root without PC. Well, I have completely cracked the EeePad code. You will be amazed with the options included in my new one click root app. Try it and see for yourself! (Also works on TF201 and SF101 slide) Here is the download link. http://depositfiles.com/files/jp4hcc5ze
That's great to hear. To bad I'm already rooted so I can't try it.
Should make it easy for those needing to root if it work.
Didn't work set cpu and titanium back up didn't work

First off..thanks for giving it a go..
Looking forward to hearing some solid reports.
You might want to put a little more detail into your OP..
As your post count is not up and your other threads are still feely new..
I am looking at picking up a new TF B60 next week and if this works as it should,of course will be willing to give it a go..
Sent from my Transformer TF101 using Tapatalk
Yes, there are problems with it. It seems to give partial root access, but not full root. I am working hard to fix the bugs. For some reason, root apps aren't detecting the root, but I was able to edit system files with no problems. The undetected installation for apps works, and transforming the tablet into Linux and MAC work. For some reason, windows is glitching up. Any ideas on how to get apps to detect root?
When i see partial root usually the su is not getting install to system/xbin but it is in system/bin. See that with the OTA root keeper sometimes.
Any movement or progress on this?

Can you move it manually via terminal from bin to xbin? If so does that get you a full root?

I don't know how this apps work but with OTA Rootkeeper you can copy su from system/bin to system/xbin and that solved it most of the times.
There is still bugs in this app. I am working hard to fix them. The su is in xbin, but still not full access. I heard undetected installation is known to glitch up and corrupt files. Maybe I need to remove undetected installation and do normal installation. But when you do normal installation for superuser (through app) it says "There was a problem parsing the package". Maybe use an alternative package installer?
Have you gotten any further in developing your app?
Yes, I got the windows transformation working. Few apps are detecting root, though. Screenshot apps detect it, and a few root managers work as well. Most arent detecting it, though. Also, syncing files doesnt work...
I have my one-click done, it's in my sig and called PERI.
Uses symlinking as found by wolf to grant root.
I'll be making an on tf app too soon. This is all completely open source and 100% working on the 3 tf101 based tfs. You can take a look at the code if you like, it's very simple.
Yes, I am familiar with PERI. PERI isnt an app, though. My Asus Root Menu is a one-click from the device-No PC required.
The commands can be run On-Tf, and I'm in progress of developing an app to put on the TF right now. Should work with 100% success. Then finally out of beta. If you need any assistance with building yours too I'm willing to help.
EDIT:
--
And dude, you're running into problems I almost GUARANTEE, because you're using andromo. Those 'make apps no coding required' wysiwyg tools are total junk. Code it the old-fashioned way :]
What method are you using too Root? I couldn't find any actual commands that are run by your app, just a bunch of invoke pages to text with nothing really attached too it except some ads stuff.. I apologize if I missed it.
And how in the world did you get linux/mac and windows 7 on there if the apk is only ~276KB A system image installer for the Ubuntu ARM image mabye, but there isn't an image for windows or mac (and both are closed-source).
--
Superuser needs to be flashed via recovery/bootloader/adb in a non-locked environment. This is probably where the problem parsing package error comes from.
--
Has anyone sides the OP gotten this too work even partially?
Yes, it has partially rooted a few people, and some people got full root. I have recieved many pm's about it. How is your app coming along?

[ROOT][TOOL][2012-07-24] GS3DebugFSRoot: Root the Verizon GSIII without flashing

THIS WILL NOT WORK WITH JELLY BEAN.
---
Here's a easy-to-use tool based on the method in this thread.
If you like this tool, please click the Thanks button!
Even better, see my signature.
DISCLAIMER: As with any rooting tool, there is some chance that something will go wrong. Use of this tool is at your own risk, and I will not be responsible if you brick your phone in the process. Although there have been zero reports of this tool breaking anyone's phone, don't run it if you aren't comfortable with the possibility of having something go wrong and having to re-Odin back to stock or worse.
Instructions:
Install the USB drivers if you don't have them already: Verizon_Wireless_I535_GSIII_Samsung_USB_Driver_v1_4_6_0.exe
Download the package and extract it somewhere (you'll need 7-Zip or some other modern compression tool) Make sure you extract all the files to a folder somewhere! Running it straight from your compression program probably won't work.
On your phone, enable installation of third-party apps (Settings --> Security --> Unknown sources, near the bottom in the "Device administration" section)
On your phone, enable USB debugging (Settings --> Developer options --> USB debugging)
On your PC, make sure you don't have any other Android devices connected, any Android emulators running, or any Android tools like PdaNet running.
Plug your phone into a USB port on your computer. For best results, use a port directly on the machine, and not a USB hub.
Double-click RootDebugfs.bat and follow the directions on the screen. Your phone will reboot 3 or 4 times during the process; just leave it plugged in. To be safe, don't switch to any other applications while the root process is running.

FAQs:
Q: What versions of the stock ROM does this work with?
A: It's known to work with anything from LF2 up to LHE. It seems likely that DebugFSRoot will be able to work with any ICS ROMs. We'll have to wait and see if it works on JB or not.
Q: I'm getting an error like "adb is not recognized as an internal or external command", or "cannot stat 'su': No such file or directory". What do I do?
A: Don't run the tool straight from your compression program. Make sure to extract all the files somewhere first.
Q: Will this wipe my data?
A: Nope.
Q: How can I unroot? Will flashing a stock ROM unroot?
A: Flashing a stock ROM will unroot and also remove any modifications you made to /system.
Q: Everything seems to have worked fine, and the Superuser app shows the binary as present and working. However, none of my root apps work. What do I do?
A: This seems to happen to a very small number of people, and the cause is unknown. If this happens to you, try installing Chainfire SuperSU.
Q: Is this any better than flashing the root66 ROM?
A: The end result should be pretty much the same, but this tool is much smaller to download than the root66 ROM.
A: If you are on a phone with the stock LG1 ROM update, root66 will downgrade you to LF2, while this tool will leave your ROM alone.
Q: Is this any better than using the VRALEC boot chain method?
A: The boot chain is a little more complicated. It requires flashing two bootloaders, flashing recovery, and using Triangle Away to reset the Custom Binary Download counter. If you intend to install a custom recovery/custom ROMs anyway, it's fine and probably quicker. However, if all you want is root to run Titanium Backup or other root apps, GS3DebugFSRoot is easier.
Q: Will this increment the flash counter?
A: Not on its own. If you flash anything else after rooting, however, you might, so read up on what you're doing.
Q: Will this cause the "custom unlock" boot screen to appear?
A: In general, no. However, the spyware Samsung/Verizon included (SysScope/libcordon) is paranoid, and a lot of tweaks you can do after rooting will trigger it. If you don't want to risk getting the custom unlock screen, don't freeze any apps using Titanium Backup and generally limit your tweaking to things you could do without root.
Q: Can Samsung/Verizon block this method in the future?
Yes. It's very possible that a future OTA will patch the exploit that this tool uses. If you want to root, it's always best to do it now!
I just tried this and it appears to work. Installed Titanium Backup and SuperUser permissions were given. Thanks!
P.S.
Some of the instructions in the console app are incorrect for the location of enabling Debug Mode and Installing Unknown App Sources.

I'm not sure about this one. However, I had packaged a slightly older version of adb, which could cause a difference. The next release will have the latest adb.

I think so, but I don't know if it's been tested. Worst case should be that it would fail when trying to copy su into /system/xbin/, and you might have to manually clean up a few things:
Code:
adb shell
[COLOR="Red"]$[/COLOR] rm /data/local/tmp
[COLOR="Red"]$[/COLOR] mv /data/local/tmp.bak /data/local/tmp
[COLOR="Red"]$[/COLOR] rm /data/local/su
[COLOR="Red"]$[/COLOR] rm /data/local/debugfs
[COLOR="Red"]$[/COLOR] rm /data/local/debugfsinput
[COLOR="Red"]$[/COLOR] exit
Really worst case is that your /system is screwed up and you have to re-flash a stock ROM with Odin, but that is highly, highly unlikely with this method.
Thanks for this awesome tool!!! Will there be a reversal to what this script does, aka, non-root to reverse changes if necessary or will that require odin flash?
It's probably possible to unroot via script. I think it might even be possible to move this into an APK and do away with adb altogether. I'll play around with it.
Is there an unroot method that's just as easy? I'd prefer not to reflash the phone to get rid of root. I guess I'm one of the oddballs here as I can care less about custom roms, I only root to be able to backup and remove bloatware.

You should be able to do it via adb shell.
Code:
adb remount rw
adb shell
$ su
# rm /system/xbin/su
# exit
And then uninstall the Superuser app.
I'll try and add it to the script.
Thank You ! so much ... The tool works perfectly on my stock VZ ... Finally can get rid of all the crap that VZ puts in.

[Q] FileMate Clear 7" T720 tablet

Does anyone know if Z4Root will work on this tablet? Thanks!
I've been looking for one for 3 days now, I tryed onclickroot and z4root or something like that,, cant find anything Anyone please help!!
I'm still waiting for my tablet to be delivered...I'm gonna try SuperOneClick (crosses fingers)
I got one of these for my daughter for xmas. I spent a few days trying to root it with no luck. I'm not intimately familiar with android (some unix experience), but I tried all the options I could find for rooting Allwinner a10 devices. At first I ran into problems with adb unable to recognize the device for most one-click methods. I downloaded the android tools and was able to connect with the included adb. After studying the scripts, they all use the "adb root" command to gain root access on the device and copy the necessary files. Unfortunately, this command fails using adb from the tools. At first I thought this was due to my adb version, but after doing some research I think it is actually due to the device kernel. I believe it requires reflashing or some exploit to be able to gain root. I was able to install root explorer and I can browse all the necessary directories but I can't modify or copy the necessary files into them. Busybox told me there was an older version installed, but wouldn't let me install a newer version (again I think due to the permissions). Also, superuser would say it installed but the su binary did not show up on the bin directory. As the necessary directories are all owned by root, I couldn't figure out a way to modify the permissions...
I wound up returning the FileMate and got a Lenovo IdeaTab. Got that rooted in no time.
sorry i never saw this post i've bought 2 of these and i rooted them,
i wish i could get a better build for them though, too many app crashes and the internet connectivity sucks
i used a method by Bin4ry called root with restore, v17 worked any ways i have the zip if you would like it

Thank you very much for being the only person ever to have posted in regards to this tablet. I just got mine for christmas and have been trying to get it rooted. I've tried a lot of those one-click methods, and I've even tried this Bin4ary method. but it just hangs up on "daemon started sucessfully*"
Can you please direct me to the filemate drivers (if needed)
also, I have usb debugging endable, allowing 3rd party (not secure) files enabled. and pulling my hair out (enabled).
Thanks again.
Also, I'm running windows 7 and 8, (((maybe i should try win7))) hmm. i'll get back to you on that. Anyhow, any advice would be greatly appreciated, since returning it doesn't sound very fun.

I laughed so hard. ok your going to have to install drivers by force,
first off do you happen to have android sdk installed? if you don't there is another way but its going to sound weird,
if you do have the android SDK installed:
1. go to your computer manager (by opening explorer, right click on the "computer" group on the left column and select manager)
2. look for any unrecognized item that appears, ( it will most likely be labeled "Clear" with a faded icon and a "?" sign on top
3. right click and choose "Update drivers", it will give you options, choose "Browse my computer for driver software", another option screen will show,
4. at the bottom of the window there will be an option that says "let me pick from a list of device drivers on my computer"
5. on the screen that appears there should be an option that says "ADB Interface", choose this
6. choose "Google, Inc.">"ADB Testing Interface version x.x.x.x" (I chose version 2.1.0.0)
that should do it next time you plug in the tablet try running ddms or open the cmd and type in "adb devices" (assuming you have adb installed) and it should show.
if this helps just hit the thanks button
[edit] I am running windows 8 btw [/edit]
ADB interface doesn't show up
Thank you very much for getting me farther, however I dont see ADB interface. I'm looking into it right now. I just re-installed the sdk drivers and will keep at it.
BTW, is it even worth doing this? the main reason I want to do it, is so i can connect my ps3 remote via bluetooth, and possibly a little overclocking. Have you had any luck OC it?
Thanks again Much appreciated:good:

open up SDK manager and go to Extras>"Google USB Drivers"
also install everything in the "Android 4.0 (API 14)" section, I have other options installed if this still doesn't work.
its worth it just for the extra stuff that root comes with like titanium backup, but you cant over clock, if you go any higher than 1200 MHz it will lock up and you have to force it to reset.

please tell me where in the world you got the Kingo root?
As far as being unable to update binaries, try to find a custom recovery and install. From there, you can inject them via su-binary update.zip and bam!

That is the link for the Kingo site. The first time I saw it on here there was some question about whether it was safe becase it is not open source and used a Chinese SuperSu app. I felt safe using it on a tablet because I do no banking on it or anything, but the newest posts I have seen are that Kingo is safe. Hope that helps. And if you know where to find a custom recovery that will work with this app please let me know.

[Q] Root Many Android doesn't work for Kyocera Rise(Virgin Mobile) ICS 4.0.4

Now fixed, Solution grab the fixed batch from my second post, run it choose 1(normal), then run it again choose x(unroot), then run it for the final time and choose 1(normal), if all goes well titanium backup should allow you to use it(ofc you could check superSU and Superuser).
Original Post
Tried to root my Virgin Mobile Kyocera Rise C5155 on ICS 4.0.4 with Root Many Android, first try yielded a mount: permission denied (are you root) error, second try said it was successful but SuperSu didn't install, third try I chose charge only instead of mass storage and SuperUser instead of SuperSu but it didn't install. So I installed SuperSU from the play store and it said it needed to install the su binary but SuperSu couldn't do this, so I tried Superuser it could install the su binary but was given a permission denied by ICS.
So it appears this phone is no longer rootable with RMA. I had Usb debugging turned on and mass storage is my normal choice for connecting to pc, I have the proper adb drivers for the kyocera rise from their website, so from what I've gathered I've done everything to a T. went back an looked at the terminal saw it couldn't replace /system/bin/.ext (because it already existed) and I don't know why for the life of me that su is in /system/bin/.ext/.su but its there.
I used RMA v25. Any Advice or Suggestions would be appreciated.

Fixed See my Post Below for the Attached Fixed Bat File.
There was an oversight in the bat that neglected to clean up properly upon repeated root attempts, it didn't remove the /system/bin/.ext folder and the /system/bin/.ext/.su binary. I've fixed it to where it will remove those first (rm will exit cleanly(by this i mean it will exit returning control of the application to the bat, it will still generate an error ) even if the files aren't found which Means if they're not there it doesn't really matter)

I had Usb debugging turned on and mass storage is my normal choice for connecting to pc, I have the proper adb drivers for the kyocera rise from their website, so from what I've gathered I've done everything to a T. went back an looked at the terminal saw it couldn't replace /system/bin/.ext (because it already existed) and I don't know why for the life of me that su is in /system/bin/.ext/.su but its there.
I used RMA v25. Any Advice or Suggestions would be appreciated.

I fixed it there was an oversight in the RMA bat file, I attached the fixed bat ONLY you'll have to visit the RMA thread and download the full environment.

Fixed yet again, titanium backup now reports Rooted, fix was to run the fixed bat choose 1(normal) let it reboot, then run the bat again choose x(unroot) then run one last time and choose 1(normal). this should clear any polluted data in /data for the flash and then root normally
Use this way instead
This is a much quicker and less messy way to root your rise. It says for hydo but works for rise too. This is how I did mine.
