UPDATE: This didn't work for me on the official ICS ROM. YMMV.
I did try this guide:
[GUIDE] [SU760] How to ROOT V29C/D ICS
but it didn't work for me...
So I tried the script posted here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=31963526&postcount=532
and it worked really well!
Steps
--------------
* Get version 1.2 of adb_restore_rooting if you can't unpack v1.6 with your current unzipper
* Unpack the archive
* Turn on USB debugging on your phone (Developer options)
* Execute rooting.bat
* Follow the instructions on screen
* When it says "Done!", press return on your PC and it should complete the process.
Note: For those who really want to use v1.6, install 7-zip (http://www.7-zip.com/). Thanks MoYo!
thanx bro.
Cheers mate first method failed for me also this worked a treat wkpark strikes again
Just to be correct, before to call a method "failed" maybe should be more important to know pre-requisites and why for some people may look to fail.
Anyway yes it's more easy with an automatic script

Indeed. I got the exact same message over and over.
I think the script from wkpark does a better job cleaning things up before trying to root it again.
This method is easier well done.
Help please
For a simpleton such as myself can someone please give me a step by step on how to make this work?
It seems I need Linux to run a SH file? Alot to ask but can someone let me know how to do this on windows7 please
This Softbricked my phone, when I tried to restart it.

I've updated the instructions, the sh file was a mistake
Worked like a charm, thank you!

For those who have problems with the v1.6 of the archive -> Try 7-zip (http://www.7-zip.com/)
It's packed with 7-zip and you can extract it with it

Same here, tried it the second time now with 1.2. After hitting the restore button on the device, the console on pc said that rooting failed.
Then after trying to restart it gets stuck after the LG logo at a black screen.
Edit: Last try with 1.6 now.
Edit 2: Nah, still don't work. The error-log says this: "remote object '/data/local.prop' does not exist"

Check your app drawer for SuperSU. If it's there click it and see if you can update the binary. If you can, you're rooted. If you can't or if it's not there than you need to repeat the process until it works.

Ok. It is there and it asked me to update, and that part worked. So... I guess I'm rooted then? I can move on to the bootloader unlocking then?

Yep, youre rooted. Now go and get that bootloader unlocked and flash CleanROM!
Okay so I rooted and unlocked BL. I also used fastboot to flash CWM, but when I try to boot into recovery, it just gets stuck on the "HTC Quietly Brilliant" page and a message in red text underneath.
I've tried reflashing it a few times and no results.
Hello,
Try downloading Goomanager in Google Play and going to "options" install recovery script, it isn't CWM but I actually like it much more. Good Luck

This worked. Thanks a lot!
I'm not rooted yet but since this app is for mac, I can finally get to it. So question is, since I'm going to root and unlock the bootloader, does the phone need to be off? Mostly for the root part I guess. May be a dumb question but I'm sure something as little as that could mess up the phone. Then dl new cwm and profit?

No!!
Why have the phone off to root?
Where did you here that?
Not sure. What about in odin mode? I'm pretty sure the other root methods had you in odin
Here's a one click root for you.

There should be 5 or 6 options in the drop down menu. First should be debugFSroot, last should be flash unsecure boot.img. also make sure your selecting the correct operating system when installing jdk. Last option is to load casual thru wubi(windows ubuntu installer). The reason i switched the root section to the casual method is for the simple fact it works on windows,mac,linux and is all in one. You can root/unlock/flash cwm/ flash stock kernel & recovery/enable hidden menu/ reboot recovery, all from one program. This tool will be the go to option as adam keeps developing it!

Bin4ry. Sir, I need your help please. I tried to root my phone, a local brand, running on ICS 4.0.4 and every time I try to root it using your program, it keeps telling me "mount: permission denied (are you root?)".. What does this mean? How can I fix this so that I can successfully root my phone? thanks! I tried several times and used different computers but it just keeps giving me the same error message.
I really need help coz' I want to root my phone and install Link2sd so that I can no longer have low internal memory problems.
Cheers!
Problem with MTK6577 phone
I am having the same problem with my S3 clone.. Ordered the phone from Amazon and it does not have any manufacturer name. It was advertised as Phecda i9300.. It runs with mtk6577 processor..
The problem is exactly the same.. I get the option to Restore data and then phone reboots.. After that the mount permission denied error appears.. There is no change on the phone.. Confirmed that root is not there in the phone through Root Checker app.. Any help?

I am having the same problem with my S3 clone.. Ordered the phone from Amazon and it does not have any manufacturer name. It was advertised as Phecda i9300.. It runs with mtk6577 processor..
The problem is exactly the same.. I get the option to Restore data and then phone reboots.. After that the mount permission denied error appears.. There is no change on the phone.. Confirmed that root is not there in the phone through Root Checker app.. Any help?

Hi sir, do you have the latest version Root_with_Restore_by_Bin4ry_v18 coz, i cant download it in his main thread...and another question, can i root xperia sola 6.1.1.b.1.54 with this,
thanks
Hi all,
well i made a small script to root Xperia devices, as it turns out more devices are affected to this.
Paul O'Brien over at Modaco tested it on his Nexus 7 [UK] and it worked, well some users in my thread over @ Xperia S section report it not working and some report it working.
I am opening this thread to get the idea why it is working for some users and why not for others.
So, as i don't have this device i cannot test it myself, so if you are a interested user or maybe a dev feel free to test it. Maybe you even get the idea why it is working on some and not on others. (BTW, are there any diffs between UK and other devices? How many firmwares are out for the device? Can i download somewhere firmware dumps?)
Paul's test: http://www.modaco.com/page/news/_/android/a-new-and-effective-root-method-for-ics-jb-r715
Best Regards
I will try it now with my UK device.
The device is STOCK, Bootloader locked and updated to the latest JB Build via OTA.
Will report back after my try.
EDIT:
It doesn't work for me:

Ad Version 2: It doesn't ask me to restore 2 times. Only the first time it asks me and then the Nexus 7 reboots.
Ok thanks for this test.
Can you tell me if there is a /data/local.prop already present in you firmware version? If yes we need to alter the script a little, hopefully it can work then.
I am not sure which firmware version Paul tested, but i have a few feedbacks telling it works, so i suggest it is a firmware version "problem".

Thanks for your answer.
Since I don't have root I can't answer you this question because /data is inaccessible.
The rooting success of Paul is the same as with the HTC One X. He could achieve root trough such a script with his One X, all the others couldn't.

Strange thing.
Can you try something for me ?
Do this manually:
adb restore stuff/fakebackup.ab
Do not click restore YET!
next command:
adb shell "while ! ln -s /data /data/data/com.android.settings/a/file99; do :; done" > NUL
this command will automatically stop when it "worked". Once this command runs please click restore on device!
Now please give me a:
adb shell "ls -ld /data"
I want to know if it changes the permissions of data folder, if all is fine it should be permissions of 777. Maybe then you can check for local.prop and if present rename or remove it

It seems it didn't get chmod 777
Ok thanks for the test. Too bad, it does not change the permissions, maybe there is something preventing it. For now i have no idea, but any dev can freely adapt the intial idea of the script. If someone owns this device i think it the basic idea maybe useful. As for now it seems all devices are initially vulnerable to the "problem", only a way to use it have to be found.

FYI here also, doesn't work on my fully stock 3568A-ME370T JRO03D Nexus 7

I think this, and things similar to this, are your problem as you already need root to access those folders.
Without root any running app/process is only allowed to access it's own subfolder in /data/data, nothing else.
This kind of works for me, clockwork mod says I'm rooted but titanium backup says I'm not.
I can't install clockwork mod recovery from the app. Something about assigning permissions.
My boot loader is unlocked. Dunno if that helps.

Have you got Superuser or SuperSU installed?
Sent from my Nexus 7 using my toiletpaper
Yes SuperUser only because the script bin4ry posted contains the superuser.apk and installs it.

This is not true, it is exactly the trick my scipt uses, in the moment you press restore in the Android Restore Service you will gain access to the partition
@Spazz Monk3y: I added v9 maybe it works now properly, in some old versions i had a nasty bug for giving permissions to su binary. Introduced because i wanted to make a singleline command and forgot atleast 1 command inside my line :crying:
Regards
Code:
mount: permission denied (are you root?)
With v9 and German Nexus 7
Nex 7 is really crazy, you some working some dont. i have no idea -.-
Welcome bin4ry! I remember you from my x10 days! Glad to see you doing well.

Hi amigos on the internet!
I recently purchased an Asus TF700T about a week ago and still I'm having trouble rooting it.
Tried basically every method I could. I desperately seek help!
My device is unlocked though SU say's there is no binary installed.
I don't have fastboot on my device it only shows three images which is the RCK logo ANDROID logo and WIPE DATA logo.
There is not USB logo.
I have JB 4.2.1
Build number :
JOP40D
If you need anymore information I would be glad to provide! Please and thank you for taking the time! I just want to root and have TWRP on it
Unfortunately I do not know how to get TWRP
When trying to root it with DeBugfs I get this
Waiting for device to be detected…
* daemon not running. starting it now on port 5037 *
* daemon started successfully *
Found system partition at: /dev/block/mmcblk0p1
Step 1 – Pushing files…

Rebooting…
Once your devices has finished restarting,
Press any key to continue . . .
Step 2 – Rooting…
For this step, ignore any error messages that say “File not found”
Unable to chmod /data/local/debugfs: No such file or directory
/system/bin/sh: can’t open /data/local/debugfsinput: No such file or directory

Rebooting…
Once your devices has finished restarting,
Press any key to continue . . .
Finally the following appears:
Rooting FAILED! You may want to try running this tool again.
Your device region may not be supported if you see this message again.
Press any key to continue . . .
Your help will be greatly appreciated it! I will also donate through pay-pal since I'm very desperate, haha. Thanks again!
You need to run the tool as administrator
Also, have you used the unlock file from Asus. You must be unlocked, bootloader unlocked, for this to work.

What is your firmware version? If you are on anything later than 10.6.1.14.8, then you have to downgrade in order to root... You are already unlock and why don't install custom recovery and custom rom...
You don't have to donate to me because I am here trying to help out new user....

Apparently you didn't read the text in the upper left corner - recent bootloaders activate fastboot already in the bootloader menu.
So you can use fastboot to install TWRP (read the guide on the teamw.in website or here on xda), then TWRP will offer you to install a root app.
And ignore the "you have to downgrade to root" advice - that's only relevant if you don't want to or can't unlock.
Hey guys thanks for replying to this post! Luckily I was able to get full step by step help by a member on XDA he was super helpful! Got my tablet rooted and rommed Thanks for looking at my post! Much obliged
