I have been trying to for over a week in the captivate forum to get ANYONE to try and help me and so far no one will. So i'm really hoping someone will take the time, i will PAY YOU UP FRONT over paypal to help me. I am DEAD SERIOUS.
Have a captivate, but this problem is not exclusive to this phone. This error has happened on just about any/every android phone there is.
Phone was working fine, have been putting any and all custom roms on that i wanted, but went to install a new custom rom (cog4), and it fails every single time at system/xbin/su. Now ANY rom i install (custom), gives me that same error. NO CUSTOM ROM WILL INSTALL. THEY ALL FAIL. I have flashed back to stock a million times, wiped, re-partitioned the sd card, master cleared, and done all of those in every combination possible. The ONLY rom i can put on here is the one i had RIGHT before this problem started (cog3.04). Only roms that can be flashed via odin will go on my phone now. All zip files fail.
I am not a noob and know my way around a computer. I promise if someone tries to help me i will be very prompt in my responses and will try ANYTHING that you ask me to. I have been googling for over a week hours a day, i am never gonna resolve this issue unless someone with the know-how helps me Every time this topic is brought up on any forum on the internet, the problem never gets solved and it fades away....there is no answers out there. Someone who knows this stuff is my only hope
I will pay you to help me even if your troubleshooting does not work
Just out of curiosity, did you open Rom Manager once you installed it to grant it superuser rights? Also, make sure you Click the top link in Rom Manger and choose your phone. "Flash ClockworkMod Recovery"
Yes tim i have done that.
I sent you a private message -- here is the same:
Have you tried adb root - and then from / rm -rf * and see if you can wipe all clean. Ofcourse if the issue is the partition, then this won't help. Also I have never tried this - as this has never been an issue for me.

I am definitely rooted and have su permissions, but it will not let me access SYSTEM from recovery or when the phone is on. Says access denied.

I read that post but the update-script in Cog4 doesn't have those lines. You could in theory edit the script so that it just has those three lines but I'm not sure that would be sufficient to install Cog4. That may be a question for DG.
Do you have the root explorer app?

Not sure as this looks like a patch and specifically asks for no wipe. Also my knowledge is limited as to what harm you can do that will make the phone unusable -- BUT you are already into that realm . Perhaps someone with deeper specific experience can answer this????
Open Root Explorer and remount R/W. Switch to the system partition and look at the permissions on bin and xbin. They should both be rwxr-xr-x

If it doesn't install, try installing Terminal Emulator from the Market
Ok so inside of the system folder they both have the permissions set to what you wrote.... .
There is only a bin in the folder right before the system folder...should there be an xbin there too?

Perhaps downgrade your ROM to an earlier version. Someone has done it with HC.

Problem is that 9.2.2.3 update came for tf101g and that means SBK3 device, therefore root by nvflash will not make the trick...
P.S. As far as we are talking about 3g devices
Is it possible to flash recovery.img on device via adb ? (Fastboot) Then boot into CWM and flash a rooted rom ?

The bootloader does support the fastboot protocol (and some obscure methods of booting a kernel via JTAG), but it's locked down to the point that you can't even get fastboot to recognize the device.
So no luck there
ViperMod is your answer I believe
I've not had to root since any version of ICS, but many are have success with ViperMod: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=21009605
You might have to drop back to a 9.2.2.17 or 19 but there are lots of roms out there that are still on that version. I would give it a try on the 9.2.2.3 though, my guess would be it will work. cheers.

It doesn't work
I tried with my TFT101G build 9.2.2.3 but didn't work!
OK, so to sum it up:
1. SUID /proc/<pid>/mem write has been patched in this release (aka 9.2.2.3) therefore mempodroid exploit and basing on it viperMod is useless
2. qEmu vulnerability in /data/local.prop is also patched up so TPsparkyroot will also fail.
3. The location of backed up files and temp storage have been shifted out from data therefore all rooting tools connected with ASUS backup app will not do the trick.
4. Jumping back to previous software is unachievable without root.
So I ask you to post ONLY methods that are not listed above.
(However I think that we have to wait for next linux Local Privilage Escalation bug to be discovered in order to get rooted)
Cheers
P.S. Sorry for any mistakes English is not my native.
ICS 9.9.23G
I have a question is 9.2.23 ics available for all transformers? When I got my update it was 9.2.17. Then I used vipermod to root and voodoo root keeper.do I need to temp unroot to receive this update?

OTA is only for TF101G. You can install firmware pack from ASUS website through custom recovery, but I do not see any point of doing that.

Nope, I've only achieved /data and /cache readwrite access but nothing more Unless you know any thing that can be done in that situation.

If you can write to arbitrary locations on /data try dropping a /data/local.prop with 'ro.kernel.qemu=1' inside (without quotes), reboot and then issue "id" through adb shell to check if adb is running as root.
If it works, ViperMod can be adapted almost painlessly to push su, Superuser.apk and busybox with the correct permission bits

Unfortunately I've tried that and than I came to a conclusion that 'ro.kernel.qemu=' has been shifted... Try read build.prop on /system and you will find it there, so /data write does nothing for now
EDIT:
Nonetheless, I have rw access to /cache where dlpkgfile is held, so maybe it is possible to do a downgrade of firmware through that hole.
EDIT2:
BTW, I did it by flashing TW 9.2.2.3 firmware on to WW 9.2.2.3 through EP101_SDUPDATE (or similar).
Than:
adb mv /data/local/tmp /data/local/tmp.bak
adb shell ln -s /cache /data/local/tmp
adb rebbot
After that /data becomes readwrite
EDIT3:
There is also one more question: where is held /tmp partition needed to repack the blob maybe by accessing it and pushing blob we can manually force its update.
Hi guys,
Can anyone please provide me stock 'libart.so'? I used the whatsapp ART fix for it and now can't update to 4.4.1 because of modified libart.so.

You need to remount the system partition in read-write mode. By default it's set to read-only.
Ive factory reset several times now, I've reflashed the android l preview image several times, and flashed two 5.0 roms over it even, and i even tried a multiboot with cm11. My device can't take pictures, video, basically anything to do with the camera doesnt work. Pictures seem to take, but don't save. Video or any panorama crashes the camera, and the error logs show something about permission denied to the files they are trying to create. How can i fix this?
Did you copy all your data back to the phone via recovery?
Usually for L, you run
su
restorecon -FR /data/media/0
...which is mentioned in his sticky lots of times.
But If you copied all sdcard data back to your phone via recovery, there's a different approach

I tried that one, it did nothing and camera still acted up. I've tried every app on the store. Nothing seems to be allowed to write to DCIM, even though I can create files with a normal file manager just fine.

Using a root explorer, go to /data/media/0/Download and set all the permissions to read, write and execute.
Then hopefully you can download stuff.
Please check that. If that works, I'll let you know the next step

I realize I just went full retard thanks to looking in the camera for permission. I had earlier set permissions with chmod from recovery for the DCIM directory to 777, but not the Camera directory within. Thanks for helping, though!

The adb (or TWRP MTP) only seems to break permissions if you're pushing folders. Pishing individual files should be fine.

Its not related to L at all. Files should be fine to push. Its just folders I think that cause the issue.
most of members the old method didn't work with him so i decide to make a pre rooted rom

Tried many times, unable to get past the mounting of /system. Hard lock-up.
Edit: Had root on 7.0 finally. Looked like I was using the wrong sboot. I have too many...
Note: Tried to update superSU after I had everything how I wanted it. Lost root. Had to start over. Use caution...
I have gotten my phone rooted thanks for your help.
Now we need to find a way to bypass the system rw,remount freeze, which I think is being controlled by smu_protection or something like that.

I think you phone now is rooted and you can mount system as rw just start adb
write adb shell then write su it will ask to get root from your device and then retry if doesn't work with download any explorer app like root explorer and you can edit system from it

Unsure if it "works" or not, as I never use it. However... It is bothering me to add my VISA-XXXX to Android Pay after boot. I'd say fairly good chance it does, simply because this root has thus far not touched /system for most of us. I do believe that is the red flag for SafetyNet/Pay (but I dunno. It does ask me however...)
