[Q] Unable to root Samsung S5360 on 2.3.6 XXKL3

Tried to root my Galaxy Y S5360 using the described method (update.zip). No errors and I can see and launch the SuperUser App. However, I still can't modify any of the system files and Android Commaner reports Root Access: NO.
I can't see that I missed anything. Build.prop attached.

The same problem
I do not have even a su app in list...

You may try tool named Universal Gingerbread Root & Unroot. I'm sorry that I do not offer link, but such rules are...

btw, you can check with root checker basic if you have root acces, than you just should update superuser. And intergrate update in system, I use link2sd for that

I had this problem to.
The attached file worked for me.
Instruction.
Put the file in root directory.
Flash with stock recovery(not CWM)
It's a quick flash and after re-boot you should be set.
IT DOES NOT WORK IF YOU FLASH USING CWM.zip:silly::silly:

Unlockroot and Super One Click usually works for me, if one fails other surely be succesful. But i am rooting tablets generally so i dont know if these will help, but worth a try.

[ROOT] Nexus 7 Root

I have the IO version of Nexus 7 for the next 12 hours.
Anyways, I've tried most of Nexus 7 root scripts including latest Transformer Prime, Amazon Kindle, etc...etc...
The main problem with jellybeans is that root cannot be attained through /data/local as you cannot move /data/local/tmp directory as most ICS root scripts can do.
Fastest way would be to build a ClockworkMod Recovery then flash supersu zip files. But I do not have the skills to do that, but I do have the device.
If anyone needs adb pull, let me know and also let me know how to do it.

reserved for root tomorrow hopefully, i will post some funny lol photos here.

Hi, long time no write this forum.
I uploaded root kit for Jelly beans.
you can download shell script and archives to do it.

This is only for developers who can read shell script, and understand
what the script doing. It's not so difficult to understand ;-) .

script
The script didn't work so I am looking into Saurik's exploit:
https://github.com/saurik/mempodroid
If someone can just figure out how to find the offset for exit() and sysresuid() we pretty much have ROOT!
Can anyone tell me how I can find this?

Unn? I tried with newest firmware(JRN84D). and I can see # prompt in command line,
when I use "adb shell".
here is the log of the tool.
http://pastebin.com/Fka5h427
the exploit which used by mempodroid is already fixed. you can't use this tool.
thanks

Looks like somebody may have a solution over at RootzWiki... I can't post a link yet, but look for "pain in the root-n7 root" in the N7 development section.
I have no way to verify if it works... Hope this helps.

THANK YOU!
This is awesome, works great.
EDIT: The linked method on RootzWiki, that is. Didn't try anything else before.
DOUBLE EDIT: I can confirm that it also works on Jelly Bean on my Galaxy Nexus.

Attempted while at I/O
Download: goo.im/devs/birdman/CWM-grouper-recovery.img
After oem unlocking and rebooting....
Quote
fastboot flash recovery CWM-grouper-recovery.img
reboot immediately to recovery
to keep cwm perm:
- mount system
- adb shell
- cd /system
- mv recovery-from-boot.p recovery-from-boot.bak
for root, flash this - static.clockworkmod.com/developer/3654/3095/JB-SuperSU.zip​
I'm here at I/O on the 2nd floor trying to root both of my mobile devices. IU followed these instructions (but doing a "fastboot oem unlock" first) but after I do the flash the CWM-grouper-recovery, I volume over to "Recovery mode" on my Galaxy Nexus and select it, it reboots to a "Google" screen and just sits there forever. I've tried a few variations on the loose instructions but never with any success. Sorry if I'm missing some n00b step.
Update:
It helps if you do a "fastboot erase recovery" before flashing.
CWM-grouper-recovery.img works well for the Nexus 7 once you understand that it is touch driven. I was silly and kept using the volume rocker and power key like the old-school CWMs.
On the Galaxy Nexus S, cwm_touch_alpha2_maguro.img is the go to CWM after you've rooted. On both the "JB-SuperSU.zip" works perfectly.

Now that we have the kernel source from here https://github.com/drewis/android_kernel_grouper
it looks like they have a patch in place to block zx2c4's exploit (Saurik implemented it for us, but I would still attribute it to zx2c4). It appears to be the same quick fix that was implemented on the Transformer Prime.
You can read about the original exploit here http://blog.zx2c4.com/749

I'm not sure what your question is exactly, but I will still try and answer. In the new kernel that is being used on the Nexus 7, it includes a patch to block the exploit that we being referred to in that post.

I've made a guide on the forum that has worked for others. I do not see why you are all trying to find an exploit and such. It was pretty straight forward. Did it to mine, all three of my friends the third day of the conference.

The post about mempodroid was prior to anyone rooting by unlocking and flashing. I just wanted the knowledge out there that the exploit he was referring to had been patched.
Also, for some of us it is the fun of looking for those types of things and it will ultimately help secure the system in the future, as the found exploits are fixed.

When rooted can you still get OTA updates from google? Someone on here mentioned an app that let's u switch between rooting and unrooting to allow updates is that right?

[Q] Firewater S-off tmp-mksh: /data/local/tmp/firewater: not found problem

Please help, I have tried to root for 5 hours now. I have used all of the options except for sunshine. I can get to the command /data/local/tmp/firewater, but when I enter it I get tmp-mksh: /data/local/tmp/firewater: not found, does anybody know how to fix this? I am using a windows 8 computer, I can switch to my desktop and try on that.

the only time I've seen that result was on a friends M8 that was on T-mobile. is yours a verizon m8?
---------- Post added at 10:19 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:13 PM ----------
And if it still doesn't work I would unplug the phone and reboot that, and then with the phone unhooked from the computer I would reboot that, and then before you start again make sure that you have all the correct files in the correct folders and follow the firewater instructions to the letter and it should work.

Check out the 2 other posts many get firewater to work using superuser with weaksauce app instead of supersu. Check out the two other posts below first is the main one.

Netflix issues after root.

Not sure if anyone else is having problems, but after rooting the Note I haven't been able to stream Netflix on the phone. Anyone else having this issue? Any fixes?

It is a known issue.... here is a fix...
I don't recall who posted the fix originally, but I think it is a few pages before my post in this thread. I take no credit for it... but it fixed the issue for me.

Scratch that, uninstalliing Netflix and reinstalling did the trick. Thanks for fix!!

This fix worked great on my Galaxy S6 G920P, Marshmallow 6.0.1, running Renegade Rom v1.1. Netflix works again!

i got
i cant access netflix after rooting my note 4. running marshmallow 6.0.1. i read in internet that you need to remove the /system/vendor/lib/liboemcrypto.so to make it or again, but it can be deleted of removed. i read about this commands that seem to work but i dont know a thing about them.
my_computer$ adb shell
[email protected]:/ $ su
[email protected]:/ # mount -o rw,remount /system
[email protected]:/ # rm /system/vendor/lib/liboemcrypto.so
[email protected]:/ # reboot
i will appreciate if someone could tell me what software do i need to run those commands and how to use them.

Worked for me

Worked on note 4
Thanks a lot for the tip.. I searched on root explorer and added the .bak to the file and Netflix opened without any problem. I'm very happy now ?

Idol 5 Bootloader Unlock & TWRP Recovery
Get ahold of me to see what else can be done with this phone, as I don't physically own it and can't help out getting things going unless I have the required info from someone who has one of these. I would Imagine GSI roms can now be installed on it, but more testing would need to be done. If someone would like to donate me a device, I can have something spun up in no time, otherwise there isn't much more that can be done without a device to test on.

Update
[hi guys I'm the guinea pig haha,thanks to @PizzaG,and @diplomatic]
After a fun weekend of tweaking [no,not that kind] I have managed to mount the system and dev partitions to -rw and can report I've successfully managed to edit the build.prop as well as a few others by way of utilizing a multi user interactive ADB shell/terminal shell [xterm/color256term] and Ghost Commander file explorer. Not 100% sure how it's working but I'm thinking it's exploiting some loophole in the REMOTE/LOCAL-multiuser GID/UID protocols. Any ideas?

Experimental Software Root for HD 8 & HD 10

Thanks @diplomatic, im running out of steam, lol. Ill post the rest of what i have tonight so you idol 5 users have at least standard temp root. My tester kinda fizzled out so....... You guys have the prop line for oem unlock=1, but no fastboot access. And i cant find the intial release stock dump anywhere. I was hoping i could and it would have working fastboot like my device. Anyways, i need a new reliable tester to see if you guys are stuck with temp root or if you can have perm root

@PizzaG, you mean you can't boot your phone? If so, sorry to hear that. I don't know the details about Alcatel phones, but I hope there's some way to restore the firmware....
Also, will you have a chance to test what I proposed in my PM?

If it's a recent phone, you probably can't due to dm-verity. You can check by running
mount | grep /system
If the first word is something like '/dev/block/dm-0', then remounting system is a no-go without unlocking the bootloader. If it doesn't say 'dm-0', but 'mmcblkXXX', then you might want to try
mount -o remount,rw /system
(BTW, I'm gonna guess your s-key is broken )
