v20c root issue (using Dan's patch) (fixed)

hey everyone,
first off, thank you so much dan! all of us O3D guys owe you a lot of thanks!
but, during the rooting process i had a problem. i updated all the drivers, put it on debugging, etc., but during the rooting process the "Owning phone..." came up as:
"run-as: Package 'com.ti.fmrxapp' is unknown".
it makes it past and continues the process, saying that it was successful. but, clearly with no superuser icon and no rooting, it didn't. lol. so i went through my apps. i got rid of anything that needed superuser status to be useful (like titanium, i was so excited at work for the root that i installed them pre-emptively). ran it again, and i'm good!!!
thanks again dan, if you're ever in toronto, a pint has your name on it!

I keep getting:
run-as: Package 'com.ti.fmrxapp' has corrupt installation
every time the script runs "adb shell "run-as com.ti.fmrxapp ..."
After a while it says
"su: Permission denied".
The root failed.
I don't have titanium backup or any other root app installed.

Getting adb not recognized as internal or external command, drivers installed, dubugging on! Any help greatly appreciated!

Hey guys,
Remember to use lg mobile suppport tool, and get the latest updated usb driver, the latest .net framework from microsoft, and yeah obvi have debugging on. try it again and see if that helps.

Solution
I had the same problem and I fixed it restoring the factory default.
Then use the Dan's patch.

I confirm that resetting to factory settings made my phone rootable through this exploit.
Sent from my LG-P920 using XDA

Its true, but i need to root my phone without resetting it to factory settings.
I changed some Symlinked (chmod, chown) with Busybox (from toolbox to busybox) and I lost my root!!!!
How can i re-root my phone without restoring the factoy settings???

Sent from my LG-P920 using xda premium

Confirming to many apps. Keeping Megatron Root from Working.
I upgraded my LG Thrill to Gingerbread 2.3.5, that went pretty well, and it worked perfectly.
My Problem came when I tried to Root the phone once again. I tried Superoneclick, it failed. Gingerbreak "Failed". Z4 "Failed".
Everything I found while searching the web pointed me to Megatron Root. A number of people had good luck and it worked perfectly. Then there were people like me who tried over and over to get the process to work, it continued to Fail as well.
Back to Google searching for more information, I found that many other people were also having the same issue. The Solution Return to Phone to Factory Preset, remove the fmradio, and finally that I had too many apps loaded on to my phone.
I believe that one of the apps loaded on my phone had a hand in blocking the Rooting process. Without knowing which one and with some frustration, I started uninstalling programs. Radios, Police Scanners, QR Readers, Graphics Programs, Skype, ES File, ES Task monitor, and my backup program. In all I got rid of about 20 programs, several which worked at root level. Which I also read could be the cause of the Megatron root Failing.
Once I removed all of the extra programs, plus programs working as Superuser, I ran Megatron again. Well it worked, this time when I ran the program it went through perfectly. No Errors, it performed just as the program was intended. The verified end result was that my LG Thrill 925P V20P Thrill was rooted once again.
My suggestion is to remove some of the programs that you installed. Networking, Picture editors, Scanning, file managers etc. Anything that might have a hand in controlling a input device, or a output device. I didn't worry about games, I even left on the Basic Root Check program.
Try this process, it worked for me, and I hope it will work for you too.

Hi,
Please follow my thread on "Rooting help needed badly". I had the same issues. I followed the guidelines given to me on the thread and now am rooted and with custom rom.. I am HAPPPPPIIIEEE!!!!!!!

What is your software version ?
I used Megatron on my P920, and worked...
Android: 2.3.5
V. Software: LGP920-V20e-JAN-18-2012
I dont know for sure, but a guess the Megatron works with "20a,20b,..."
What its yours ?
About the problem report with to many apps installed, i have a lot of apps installed and a did the process about 2 days ago and no problem to report...

i got the same problem

After i got same problem, I solved with few simple steps :
- turn of device
-boot in recovery
-wipe everything
-restart phone
-now apply Megatron root without any problem.

in my case it didn't work because I had airplane mode on. SuperOneClick failed anyway (first time was caught by antivirus but after I disabled antivirus it failed just the same. Can't tell if antivirus deleted something from SuperOneClick as it sometimes quarantines stuff)
Megatron wrote evil.apk, rebooted, tried something (think it failed), rebooted again, did something else (said it failed the success), rebooted again, said exploit complete then iRoot who I had opened at the same time reported phone already rooted

Wtf its not rooting?

I just tried rooting my phone and it keeps saying unable to copy the file on everything and it`´s not permitted.... I tried rooting with some old guides I found because I was checking my phone and I´m still on android version 4.03 and builder number 1.85...it would just not do anything not It´s not letting me install any kind of apps in the app store, but everything else is working. So i tried the 2.02 version and it doesn´t give me the 11111111 code at the end. Is there something wrong with the phone or could it be the drivers? All the guides I found gave the drivers that installed them on their own.
Also could it be that I´m in mexico and the phone was sent from the us? its the at&t one. I´m so lost now that I had the guts to root it. -.-

You will have to use the 1.85 method which is best. To use the 2.20 method you would need to download the 2.20 update. But best to use the 1.85 method I think. I'll see about fetching a link.

The 1.85 one-click method no longer works (hasn't for a long time). The one linked by exad above is the only working method that is specific to 1.85.
But as stated by kittens above, the X-factor exploit not only works on 2.20, but should also work on previous firmwares. Try either the toolkit, or the "manual" X-factor method.
If you don't understand what SU and adb are, you probably shouldn't mess around with any of these things. Do a lot more research and learning, before you get rooting.

Ah I wasn't sure that the X Factor method works on 1.85. Whenever I suggest it people reply that it says explicitly that it doesn't work on 1.85. Though, when I read it, I did not notice that. In any case, *shrug* there ya go op. Good luck! Read lots.

I think that message it gave you was kinda clear there is no Su files or binary installed to give you root access..

I have been trying to root my Verizon Razr XT912 running Device Software Version: 98.72.16.XT912.Verizon.en.US with the only tool I can find to use on mac (DROID_RAZR_Utility_Jellybean_XT912_WinMacLin) and I keep getting the following error. I am not sure what I am doing wrong and this seems like the most knowledgable forum. Can anyone guide me in the right direction? Is it my phone, my OS, my connection? I am pretty certain I followed all the steps exactly and I've searched through all the threads on the forum and most of them say something to the effect of "...then I tried again and it worked". Well I've tried about 15 times over the course of two weeks and nothing worked, I hate to admit defeat... but I need some help. Thanks in advance.

Here's what worked for me
I was having the exact same problem until I ran across this in another forum:
Windows-
-Download the zip file and extract.
-Connect device via USB (Make sure you have the current Moto drivers FIRST!)
-Make sure USB Debug is on
-Make sure you have Smart Actions fully installed, unfrozen and unmodified
-Make sure the phone IS NOT in mass storage mode
-Double click run.bat
For some reason, that fifth line is not included in the batch file's instructions. Once I knew to change from mass storage to camera mode, all went well!
