I get a message in the cmd prompt when trying to root my Atrix 2 after update,
"adb is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file"
.
I was rooted before update with OTA VooDoo Rootkeeper but when I hit Restore Root it tries but is unable.
The only unchecked boxes are Device rooted and Root permission granted.
It says I have a protected su copy available but apparently it cannot retrieve it so I am stuck.
Thank you for your time and help. It is very much appreciated.

I am new to the rooting process. I have a Samsung Captivate that has been updated to the 2.2 Froyo and I am now trying to root my phone. I followed the instructions to root the phone and was successful with the process until I began to enter the codes in the command prompt that were provided on XDA by CL SHORTFUSE. Once I enter the first code, which is adb push rageagainstthecage-arm5.bin /data/local/tmp/rageagainstthecage-arm5.bin
then I receive a message that states 'adb' is not recognized as an internal or extrernal command, operable program or batch file. I am wondering what I am doing wrong because no matter what I try I can't get pass this step in the rooting process. I appreciate any help in advance.
I have been searching for a week now on how to root my xoom and but i am getting nowhere..
I am currently running stock os.. ICS 4.0.4 IMM76..
I was able to unlock my zoom via adb
I was trying to push recovery-Tiamat-R4c-100611-1150-cwm.img via adb, it will go through the process but after reboot I can not find superuser or busy box installed.
Please help or direct me to right path to get my xoom rooted.
thank you.
You push the recovery through ADB like you were doing....but you boot in to recovery on the Xoom and install the root "update.zip" from there.
That installs su, Superuser.apk and busybox.
You were on the right track...you were just skipping a step. The link that had the recovery.img file you downloaded should also have the root "update.zip" as well.
I tried to keep Root using OTA rootkeeper and it did not work. Does anyone have a solution for OTA 4.0.4?
You can grab my ICS root method from this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1779968
Just Download this file:
http://www.androidfilehost.com/main...man/Blur_Version.55.13.25.MB865.ATT.en.US.zip
Uncompress the folder to your desktop, then from explorer with that folder open, right click and open command prompt here.
Then run the ROOT.bat from the cmd prompt, and your phone will reboot several times, and the script will tell you when it is rooted.

Any suggestions on how to regain root after the ICS update using Linux? I've read through the various posts regarding how to root using Windows but I'm limited to Linux for the moment and actually prefer manually rooting devices. I've downloaded the A2_ICS_Root Zip and explored the contents but not sure how to utilize them. I've rooted the phone in the past manually using Android SDK, Terminal, push/adb shell commands and Motofail but of course lost root with the ICS update. As a test I tried to regain root using the same method but of course it failed.
Rooting Method for ZV8 has been found!
You will need:
LGPwn.apk
SpriteBud in "/System/xbin/"
SuperUser.apk
Steps to Root:
First, we must make sure you have spritebud. You can check for this via ADB with this code.
ADB:
Code:
adb shell ls -l /system/xbin/spritebud
If you get any error message along the lines of "no such file or directory", then you my friend are unable to root. Otherwise, you should be presented with information about spritebud, and that is your golden ticket to root
Ok for those who have spritebud please continue on. If you did not have spritebud, you can download the txt file attached for instructions on how to root the zv8 in your case. Its a bit of a longer process but sure does work.
Step: 1
Download LGPwn.apk and install to your phone either via ADB or Transfer to your sdcard.
To install Via ADB, move LGPwn.apk to where your adb directory is at.
Press "Shift" and Right click and click on "Open command window here"
Type in the CMD window "ADB DEVICES" and make sure your phone is visible.
*If not reconnect the phone and make sure USB Debugging is ON.
Then type ADB INSTALL LGPwn.apk
Wait a few seconds and LGPwn.apk should be succesfully installed.
Step: 2
Now go to your phone and Open LGPwn.apk
READ popup message
Press "root me" to carry on the next part
When Backup has launched, choose Restore
Choose Internal storage
Choose LGPwn
Hit OK at the popup about Cross Model Restore
Make sure the Applications checkbox is checked, then select Continue
Let the app finish the restoring process
Step: 3
When done install SuperUser.apk that is attached to this post.
And with that finished you should be rooted!
How to remove SuperSU on unrooted phone? - "there is no SU binary installed..."
Hi,
I lost some SMS data. I tired to use data recovery software. One of the programs was Fonepaw. Apparently fonepaw tried to root my device and failed; or did something else. Yet, somehow fonepaw installed SuperSU as a system application. This is causing problems with the device, a Galaxy S5 (SM-G900V) running Android 6.0.1.
When I run the SuperSU application it reports:
"There is no SU binary installed, and SuperSU cannot install it. This is a problem!"
My only option is to select 'OK'. Which closes the app.
SuperSU won't uninstall via application manager due to being a system application.
The "adb backup" command no longer works since my attempts at using Fonepaw and a few other applications.
ADB see's my device via "adb devices". I can explore directories. If I enter "adb shell su" I get "[email protected]:/ #".
But when I try to run "adb backup" the phone doesn't go into the prompt where you say 'okay' and set a password. Adb backup has worked just fine in the past. It's been useful, and I need to use it again as part of changing to a new phone.
Android also is showing in notification a "Security notice" stating "Unauthorized actions have been detected. Restart your phone to undo any unauthorized changes."
Restarting does nothing. Even booting to safe mode doesn't stop the security notice. SuperSU being a system app runs in safe mode.
Root Checker app comfirms the phone isn't rooted.
I have never attempted to root the phone and have been the only owner/operator.
I would like to uninstall the SuperSU application and any data it stored on the phone without losing any data on the phone. Since the phone is not rooted and no SuperSU binary was installed, I'm hoping this is possible.
My search for information has provided limited insight.
I'm hoping someone on XDA might know what to do.
Edit: Additional info.
https://android.stackexchange.com/questions/103611/remove-su-after-unroot
I do the following:
"[email protected]:/ # cd system/xbin"
"[email protected]:/systems/xbin # ls"
output:
"Dexdump
dexdump
jack_connect
jack_disconnect
jack_lsp
jack_showtime
jack_simple_client
jack_transport
jackc
su"
The commenter at stack exchange would suggest the phone I have has root, but root check says otherwise.
Another edit:
I'm not sure, but it looks like a Custom Recovery was installed on the phone. Unsure if that's what came with phone or not, vol down+home+power brings me to a screen without the "Android" icon/statute/person thingy. Same for booting into vol up+home+power. However, in the recovery I get 'reboot to bootloader' and when I select that I go to stock android download mode/odin mode. And when I boot the system, boot/splash screen "Samsung Galaxy S5" on top, a lock icon that is unlocked with "Custom" in the middle, and "powered by Android" at the bottom.
command "adb root" returns "adbd is already running as root".
So, I'm not sure what's going on here. Found a post stating you can have adb root without root in androids system. So...I'm a noob at all this. *CONFUSED*. Hoping for someone to help.
Fonepaw support has not been helpful at all.
