Anyone manage to install it successfully without losing root. If so, how?
No, same problem, pushed the 2.3 apk to apps, after that not in launcher anymore and root completely gone.
Messed around for 2 hours now with X10root.apk, the runme batch file and at last manually. Don't know which method actually did it, but after final reboot I got rooted again and Superuser was visible again in Launcher.
I think the Donut Version of Superuser 2.3 is a fail, got 2.2 now, I think from Angelos pack but not sure.
Yeah, that's my experience too. The root .apk fixed it up for me again.
I've heard that the superuser 2.3 asks for permission for everything on the phone, is that correct?
Why would one need to upgrade to what most have using the root method? I see no reason to change whats already working fine and giving root. People never realise that newer versions dont always mean better!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Works a treat
You have to remove the old Superuser.apk from /system/app/
Then add the latest Superuser.apk along with the "su" supplied using adb:
Code:
@adb shell mount -o remount,rw -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock2 /system
@adb push apps\Superuser.apk /sdcard/Superuser.apk
@adb shell dd if=/sdcard/Superuser.apk of=/system/app/Superuser.apk
@adb shell chmod 644 /system/app/Superuser.apk
@adb push bin\su /sdcard/su
@adb shell dd if=/sdcard/su of=/system/bin/su
@adb shell chmod 4755 /system/bin/su
@adb shell rm /sdcard/su
@adb shell rm /sdcard/Superuser.apk

This also happens on my phone.
Did the same for me. Rebooted, it was fine (did it on both my x10 and nexus).
Removing the old superuser app and pushing the new one works. Thanks guys.
Can i use a terminal / file manager on X10 to copy the apk and sh binary (ofcourse after mounting rw) ?
Or i have to use "dd"?
What are the new features found in the Superuser 2.3?
2.3.1 is out and works no more FC....
yup! works fine now

Could you please tell me how to do this?
Do i have just to open my sdk on my pc and insert the comand you wrote?
I'm tryng to understand how to remove superuser from the phone because i have a X10 and X10mini, and i've a problem with the second phone and this apk.
When i downloaded from the market a new version (2.3.6.1) of this programm, all went fine with my X10.
With X10 mini, when i try to download from market superuser, i can finish to downloading this apk, but phone dosen't install it.
A messagge appear sayng the package is not signed.
So maybe i thought it could depends from older version that's installed on X10 mini. Am i doing right removing the old version for installing new one? Or mine is another kind of issue?
And in general, is this still the right method (and the only one) to remove superuser.apk from Xperia phones?
Thanks
thank you!
I am a G3's user

possible root exploit
cat /sbin/dfta > /data/dfta
chmod 777 /data/dfta
chown root.root /data/dfta
Follow this I've REMOVED the installer link as the problem is that tool i wrote has a risk of a perma brick!

(me) iToast announces the Flare officially is rooted and no longer standing strong against our exploits!
if I can find my CWM files I'l post them for this tablet as well!
I don't take responsibility if you destroy your device!
Ok, download the files that are attached and make sure you have ADB
I personally get ADB from Super1click.
Extract the archive into your ADB folder
Open a ADB shell and you should see a '#' If you don't, you're screwed. if you do, just type these commands!
push app/Superuser.apk /system/app
push xbin/busybox /system/xbin
push xbin/su /system/xbin
chmod 664 /system/app/Superuser.apk
chmod 664 /system/xbin/busybox
chmod 664 /system/xbin/su
reboot
Enjoy root

I recently purchased this device in hopes a root method would soon become available. Has anyone out there had any success? Even temporary root access would be greatly appreciated considering the amount of bloatware on this device. Thanks in advance

I really hope someone does something. I also bought one of this babies in Japan and I wish this can be tinkered with. There is an enormous potential within this phone that is locked down on DoCoMo's crappy bloatware and prohibitions. Can't use nothing: TV receiver, radio, pedometer, and all the other functions found on most Sharp phones alone.
I got some text and some files but I really don't know what to do with them or who created them. I just translated some text from Japanese and this seems like a way to get root in the device.
PLEASE. If this can be seen by someone with experience, could this be turned into an app that is useful for us non-devs? The file is attached at the bottom.
adb push sh02eunlock /data/rootkit
adb push acdbwritevalue /data/rootkit
adb push su /data/rootkit
adb shell chmod 777 /data/rootkit/
adb shell chmod 777 /data/rootkit/sh02eunlock
adb shell chmod 777 /data/rootkit/acdbwritevalue
adb shell chmod 777 /data/rootkit/su
adb shell
su
cd /data/rootkit/
./acdbwritevalue 0xc0e74998 0x80200000
./acdbwritevalue 0xc0e749a8 0x01000000
./sh02eunlock 0
cat /data/rootkit/su >cat /data/rootkit/su > /system/xbin/su
mount -o rw,remount /system /system
cat /data/rootkit/su > /system/xbin/su
chown root.root /system/xbin/su
chmod 06755 /system/xbin/su
cat /data/rootkit/sh02eunlock > /system/xbin/soff
chmod 755 /system/xbin/soff
mount -o ro,remount /system /system
chmod 755 /system/xbin/soff
sync;sync;sync
That's all I got. I really need to delete all this spy/statistics apps from the phone and without root it's impossible.
Does anyone know how to root luna tab474 as the firmware on it is terrible, even the touch does not respond well and yarvik r not any help what so ever. My kids cant play half the games and it does not seem to support flash.

try this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=41229206&postcount=3
Tried that but no joy. Used bin4ry root and restore now have Su on it that's as far as I got so far
Sent from my HTC One S using xda app-developers app
Yarvik 474 root
The Yarvik 474 by default is "rooted", but technically is not . The busybox and the su don't work propoerly.
To make it work, we have to change them.
Preparation :
1.) download ADB,SU, Supersuser.apk ("www48.zippyshare.com/v/60795775/file.html")
2.) download busybox to the same directory ("busybox.net/downloads/binaries/latest/busybox-armv7l" )
2.b.) rename "busybox-armv7l" to "busybox".
Start the rooting:
1.) Connect your Yarvik 474 to your PC with USB "debug on"
2.) Open "DOS" terminal on your PC and type:
adb devices
adb remount
adb shell "mkdir /data/busybox"
adb push busybox /data/busybox/busybox
adb push busybox /system/sbin/busybox
adb push su /system/sbin/su
adb push Superuser.apk /system/app/
adb shell
chmod 644 /system/app/Superuser.apk
mv /bin/su /bin/su2
mv /bin/busybox /bin/busybox2
cd /data/busybox
chmod 04755 busybox
chown root.root busybox
./busybox --INSTALL /system/sbin
cd /system/sbin
chmod 04755 su
chmod 04755 busybox
chown root.root su
chown root.root busybox
cd /bin
ln /system/sbin/su su
ln /system/sbin/busybox busybox
3.) restart your tablet
You have a full rooted Yarvik 474!!!
