[Q] Rooting via Mac Terminal (Command not found) - Motorola Atrix 2

So I'm trying to root my Atrix 2 via Mac & i keep getting command not found. Then if i add ./ before an adb command (Example: ./adb push zerg /data/local) "No such directory or file". What am I doing wrong?
The rooting guide for Atrix 2: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1327741
P.S. I have the exploit folder on my desktop and I changed the directory to the exploit folder. (cd /Users/tech2332/Desktop/Exploit) In case you were wondering.

Does it have anything to do with the adb file having the .exe extension? Or is it something else?

If I'm not mistaking this has to be modified to run with Mac....and I don't have a clue how to help you with that

I can't remember the specifics, but there is a hidden file (.bash_profile) that you have to modify in order to use adb from any directory on your mac. Without doing this, adb commands will only work when you are in the /platform-tools directory.
This page might help:

---------- Post added at 02:44 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:35 PM ----------
Your other option is just to copy the files from the exploit directory into the platform-tools directory and run the commands from there.

Thanks for the answers. I think I got it working. I used this link on XDA to edit the (.bash_profile). http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1387527

Yep, I got root. Easy as pie! Thanks for the quick responses to both of you.

Good to know it worked ...I will get it added to the beginners thread

Awesome! Us mac users are definitely in the minority here, but it can be done!
The only thing I've had to use a Windows machine for is using RSD Lite. Tried to use it with a Windows VM in VirtualBox but getting the USB to work properly is next to impossible. If you plan on doing any flashing with RSD Lite, you'll have to use Windows.

[ubuntu Q] Any way to root using Ubuntu?

is there a way to use ubuntu to root the epic? I have ubuntu and I want to root my epic but I can't figure out how to use the one-click method because I can't really use the drivers. I was trying to use the terminal with adb but I don't really know what I am doing.
linux doesnt need drivers i made a one click script for linux ill see if i cant find it
http://www.mediafire.com/?hk59z8j5dve6tgf
download that and run the clickhere.sh it should root you just fine, you may need to make the script and adb executable
You can try following along the run.bat script included in the one click root. I did not need to install any drivers to root using Ubuntu, but I did download the Linux version of the android sdk (from Google) just in case (instead of using the adb included in the one-click-root download.
If you have your android-sdk-linux_x86 directory in ~/Downloads/, and you extracted the one.click.root file into ~/Downloads/ as well, here's what you could do:
cd ~/Downloads/one.click.root
(Now you're in the location of the one click root files.)
Next, type each line of the run.bat file manually. Any time you see "adb" replace it with:
sudo ../android-sdk-linux_x86/tools/adb (command)
You'll need to adapt a bit to your situation, but because most of the adb commands are native to adb and run on the phone, they should work verbatim on your Ubuntu system.
Didn't someone put out a Linux one click root, though?
EDIT: Yes, shabbypenguin did. Looks like he posted it above me before I finished typing my post. Whoops.
Complete Big edit....
I thought I bricked my phone but I didn't. I ended up getting the permanent root. I used this guide http://forum.sdx-developers.com/epic-development/adb-root-exploit-test/
Is there anything special I am missing? like busybox? or remount scripts? not sure what either of those are.
remount allows your system to have rw access with a simple command, busybox.. think of it as an extended shell
the zip i included in my post is based off noobnl's latest version and works fine with linux. i made it while using ubuntu

[Linux/Mac] ADB & Fastboot (Un)Install Script [Team BlueRidge]

[Linux/Mac] ADB & Fastboot Install Script
I have created a script to be used to install ADB and Fastboot on a Mac or a Linux computer. Simply run the script in Terminal or a similar application and it will copy ADB and Fastboot to /usr/local/bin/
Also, as of Version 3.1 this also installs the JDK for Linux-based systems.
While advanced users probably won't need this, it would be good for new users who need help using the ADB and Fastboot commands.
You can see the source at GitHub.
Download
If you have any problems or errors, let me know.
Changelog:

Thanks! I'll fix that and post an update soon!
JDK is now installed on Linux systems!
Now hosted on Google Code rather than GitHub.
Now installs to /usr/bin/, which is a more appropriate directory as these files are not required for normal system booting or are required for the general functions of your operating system.
i know this thread is old but i need some help.
my devices are not showing up after running the script.
i used adb devices and ./adb devices

Does it say that ADB is not found or your devices?
Try enabling ADB (USB Debugging) on your device if it says no devices were found.

Download whichever for whichever platform. It's the script inside that you use that matters.
Trying to run the script on OSX, but when I am prompted to enter my password I can't type anything. Please help.
Ditto ul49, being prompted for a password, please advise
Simply type your account password. It won't look like anything is being typed but it is. This is how the "sudo" command works. It is for security.
really glad i found this.
i run "sh "sh script name" and i get this error
ADB-Install-Linux.sh: 5: ADB-Install-Linux.sh: Syntax error: newline unexpected
not sure if it's installed or what
thanks for making this set of scripts and if u could advise me on that error id be grateful.

apt-get install android-tools-fastboot
and
apt-get install android-tools-adb
worked
Just released the first update in two years. Sorry to leave this project unmaintained. The files are now hosted by Team BlueRidge as Google Code no longer supports downloads.
First, thank you very much for putting this together for fellow users. While I'm not the most savy of guys I thought I might just share my experience while installing this ADB + Fastboot package on my MacBook Pro (mid 2012) running OS X Mavericks 10.9.3 in the hopes that somebody might benefit from it as well.
So here it goes:
I tried running the installation script found in "Androidv5.zip" which up until now is the latest version (I think). The script failed to install:
"This will install ADB and Fastboot on your computer.
Root Permissions required. Please type your password.
Password:
Changed directory to /Users/User/Downloads/Androidv5
Moving ADB
cp: /usr/local/bin/adb: No such file or directory
ADB Moved to /usr/local/bin/adb
moving Fastboot
cp: /usr/local/bin/fastboot: No such file or directory
Fastboot moved to /usr/local/bin/fastboot
You may now run Android Debug Bridge and Fastboot commands
Have a nice day."
So I figured I'd open the script file and run each command manually but they would still not work. I then decided to open the target directory
from terminal and it couldn't find it either, so I openned the /usr/ directory to find where the /bin/ directory was... and I found it at | /usr/bin | instead of | /usr/local/bin |.
I ran the commands in the script again manually one by one with the target directory set to | /usr/bin | and then closed terminal and reopened. After that I tried running "adb devices" and the output was "permission denied".
I then applied a "chmod 775 /usr/bin/adb" "chmod 775 /usr/bin/fastboot", closed & reopened terminal and voilà it worked!
Again I'm not a savy guy... there might probably be a better way to do this or perhaps I didn't run the install script as it was supposed to but anyway I decided to let you guys know how it went just in case it proves useful to somebody else....
Then again thanks a lot for sharing this! I finally have ADB + Fastboot on my Mac without having to nag about downloading the Android SDK. :laugh: :good:

[Root] RockMyMoto (Yes, even the first OTA)

This will void your warranty, like all root exploits. Use this at your own risk. Do not take OTAs on rooted devices unless you know what you are doing, as it may cause a bootloop or a soft brick.
RockMyMoto is designed for MotoXs that have recieved the Camera update, patching PwnMyMoto. If you are unsure of your firmware, try PwnMyMoto first.
First step is to install Cydia Impactor, by Saurik. http://www.cydiaimpactor.com/ This is required. You will also need adb installed and working, and be comfortable with the command line. Your phone must be on the same network as your PC.
Figure out the ip address of your phone:
adb shell getprop dhcp.wlan0.ipaddress
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
unzip RockMyMoto-{version}.zip and push the exploit and su to /sdcard/:
adb push su /sdcard/
adb push RockMyMoto.jar /sdcard/
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Run Impactor and select "# start telnetd as system on port 2222", then hit start.
Once the process is complete, run telnet:
telnet {your phone's ipaddress} 2222
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Run the exploit through telnet
dalvikvm -cp /sdcard/RockMyMoto.jar RockMyMoto
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
The exploit will tell you to use adb to reboot:
adb reboot
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Run the exploit through telnet for the second time, it will reboot on it's own:
dalvikvm -cp /sdcard/RockMyMoto.jar RockMyMoto
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Run the exploit through telnet for the third time, it will not reboot:
dalvikvm -cp /sdcard/RockMyMoto.jar RockMyMoto
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Wait 0-60 seconds, for su to install, then install SuperSu from the market.
Enjoy!
Known issues:
If you have AP isolation mode enabled in your AP (aka WiFi router) you won't be able to connect to your phone via telnet, disable isolation.

one thing though
adb push RockMyMoto-1.0.zip /sdcard/

should have been
adb push RockMyMoto.jar /sdcard/
which should have been extracted with su from the zip.
Okay. I have never rooted like this before. Adb = command prompt? Do I need the SDK? Or just the rockmymoto and the other program?

Also if anyone is not by a PC you can just type getprop and whatever command to get the info you need using terminal emulator. Just don't type adb shell before getprop. And just typing getprop in terminal emulator will list your whole build.prop or you can just type getprop ro.secure & hit enter & that will tell you whether your s-off or not by listing a 0 or a 1. That was just a example if you just want to find out just 1 line like jcase first command to get your ipaddress. You would just type getprop dhcp.wlan0.ipaddress & hit enter & terminal emulator will list your sensitive data if your not by a PC

Okay I finally got it!! Yay Root!
When I try the telnet action, I get an error that the 'link failed File exists'. If I try to proceed to the next step, same error. My router is an Asus router and I made sure Isolation was unchecked, and there was a setting for telnet (never used this before) and I tried both on and off for that one.
Anybody have a clue how I can get through this?

[GUIDE][TETHERING] Clockworkmod Tether via USB

CLOCKWORKMOD TETHER via USB for Linux Users​
-- This guide is in reference to Ubuntu 13.10 (May work for other versions)
-- These are NOT instructions for Windows users - So please stop here if you do not use Linux
The main reason I had trouble is that the included adb file with the linux Clockworkmod Tether app would not work. Period. Nothing I tried would execute it, ./adb devices for example would return adb: No such file or directory, even after changing it to executable with chmod or with the properties dialog...
-- I have gotten this to work with the help of several posts on various websites and will be reposting some code that helped.
-- This guide has been written while currently tethering from my device. Let's begin....
1. Download and install the Clockworkmod Tether app on to your phone.
2. Open a terminal in Ubuntu (I use Guake Terminal), and enter:
Code:
[B]sudo apt-get install android-tools-adb[/B]
-- This will install the proper adb files on to your system
-- If you have already done this previously in the past, then step 2 is not required.
3. Open a browser E.g. Firefox and search for Clockworkmod Tether. Go the the google play website for the app, scroll down and click to download for the Linux version.
-- Also, you can open up the app on your device and download it from there and then transfer the file over to your computer.
4. You should have a .tgz file now. Extract it to wherever you want. I personally have it kept in a folder called 'development' in my home directory. You should now have a folder named Tether.
5. Open the Tether folder and navigate to the linux sub-dir. Here you should have 2 files: adb and run.sh. Open run.sh with a text editor.
6. Replace the line that looks like:
Code:
[B]../linux/adb start-server[/B]
with
Code:
[B]adb start-server[/B]
7. Save and exit ./run.sh.
8. Now go back to the Tether dir and go to node-tuntap dir. Open adb.js in a text editor.
9. Replace the line that looks like:
Code:
[B]adbPath = '"' + path.join(process.cwd(), adbPath) + '"';[/B]
with
Code:
[B]adbPath = '/usr/bin/adb';[/B]
10. Save and exit adb.js
11. Go back to the terminal and enter:
Code:
[B]sudo gedit /etc/udev/rules.d/70-android.rules[/B]
then paste in this:
Code:
[B]SUBSYSTEM=="usb", SYSFS{idVendor}=="0bb4", MODE="0666"[/B]
12. Save and exit 70-android.rules.
13. You need to compile CLockwork Tether before running run.sh. To do so, make sure you have the proper dependencies installed like g++ then go to Tether/node dir in terminal and enter:
Code:
[B]./configure[/B]
then enter
Code:
[B]make[/B]
If everything went well, you should be able to run ./run.sh​
14. Plug in your phone to the computer via usb, make sure it's not set to mass storage (the disk drive shouldn't be mounted). Start the tether app on your phone.
15. Disconnect from all networks (ethernet, wifi, etc.) on Ubuntu.
16. Back in your Ubuntu terminal change directory to the Tether dir, then enter:
Code:
[B]sudo linux/run.sh[/B]
-- Only if necessary, in another terminal enter:
Code:
sudo ifup tun
Congratulations, if all went well, you should be able to load web pages in your browser, as well as do other things online so long as you have good cell reception.
--- Happy Hunting!!
well, kinda good, but what if? no Wi-Fi or internet connection? then sudo apt-get can not work lol
also, it was much easier when I did it this really seems like the long way around lol
#EDIT
I also got it working with downloading what I needed via phone, then transferring it to the Linux box, without available internet connection to the computer, until I got clockworkmod tether running, of course

I wish I could help, but I keep my desktop clear in all honesty. I run mostly everything in the terminal. A habit you could say lol. Though, when I get by my computer again I will take a look at what you mentioned. I haven't noticed it personally, but like I said; Using terminal is my preferred method.

You ROCK!
I know this thread is a bit aged but I had just installed Clockworkmod Tether on my Funtoo linux machine and had the same issues you mentioned.
I basically followed the guide with a few differences.
First off...anyone using Gentoo/Funtoo the best way to grab ADB is to emerge dev-util/android-tools (MUCH smaller install) or dev-util/android-sdk-update-manager (newer ADB but not sure it makes a huge difference)
If you have a problem with the compiling phase make sure to 'eselect python list' and then do 'eselect python set #' and substitute the # with the actual number that contains python 2.7. In my case I did 'eselect python set 1'. After that it should compile fine.
I have tested it and it is working great man! Thanks a lot!
If you read this then Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
Thanks!
This guide worked perfectly on the latest version of Ubuntu 16 as of 2017-04-26
Thank you very much for taking the time to create it.
hello here, i have follow all the step but wen i trying to compile with ./configure and Make it show me this error:

[Q] Dumping system partition to PC?

Hi,
My Android phone (I9100G) is on stock firmware, but I rooted it. I want to dump (copy and paste) /system folder's files from phone to PC. I tried adb pull /system system/ in cmd.exe but he skips special files in system folder. It says "skipping special file" and doesn't copy all files to PC. I also followed this tutorial: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2450045 but I have no system partition. I have these partitions only (Look at attachment).
I'd appreciate your solutions. Please find a way to dump system files to PC.
Thanks in advance.
**Bump**
Really need help.
I could be wrong cause I use Linux not Windows (i assume your using Windows 7 or vista) but your command seems wrong.
Let's say you want to pull system to a folder on your desktop called system. Command should read.
Adb pull /system /users/yourusername/desktop/system.
NOTE: also as your using Windows I don't know if you need to provide the drive letter in the path to you folder on the desktop. e.g c:/users/yourusername/desktop/system.
Hope this helps good luck ?

@Danny201281 Thanks for help, but I lately realized that this may be a permission problem. Here is my /system/app folder in Root Browser app: (Look at attachment)
I realized lots of files have 0.00 bytes. And adb cannot pull these files and calls them "special". Also /system/bin folder's all files have 0.00 bytes.
Waiting replies, thanks.
Possibly a partition or file system problem.
Running check disk in adb can fix these type of problems.
e2fsck -fvy /dev/block/mmcblk0p35
Works for my HTC One you may need to check the device specific forum for the correct command for your phone
