adbd running on device, cannot connect from host

Hello all,
As per my previous thread, I now have a rooted nonsense free Android.
Now I'm trying to connect to it via adb which is proving tricky.
The device is rooted (unrevoked/clockwork mod) and in recovery mode it'll adb just like that. However, when the device is running, I can't pick it up. I get:
Code:
$ adb devices
List of devices attached
???????????? no permissions
Now I have the old superuser skull and crossbones app thingy on my phone running. I've also tried to connect locally using connectbot and this works, I get sh running just fine. I can also su and get root.
However, even if I stop and restart adbd it changes nothing from the pov of the host... in other words it's not letting me connect.
Specifically, I can see:
Code:
sh-3.2# ps
...
root 1978 1 3142 200 ffffffff 0000f474 /sbin/adbd
...
$ whoami
whoami: unknown uid 0
from connectbot on the device
A pointer in the right direction would be wonderful!

[Q] Turning on Bluetooth in flight mode

Hi guys,
hope this is the right forum.
I switched from iPhone4 now to the new Samsung Galaxy S II with 2.3.3 and brought my bluetooth Sennheiser MM450 which I would like to use in flight.
Anyway when I turn on the flight mode I can't turn on Bluetooth anymore!?
On my iPhone this was possible.
Is there any way to get Bluetooth in flight mode working as I dont wanna have my phone searching for networks during flight.
Any other App/hint etc. for this?
My Samsung is rooted by the way...

Like this?
Otherwise, on a more serious note: http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=3289, see comment 42 there.

Thanks.... maybe I am too rookie for that... I installed QuickSSHd and logged in from my Putty but can't issue these commands:
# id
uid=0(root) gid=0(root) groups=0(root)
# adb remount /data
adb: not found
# sqlite3 /data/data/com.android.providers.settings/databases/settings.db
sqlite3: not found
So I searched but following issue:
# find / -iname adb
/sys/devices/virtual/usb_composite/adb
/sys/class/usb_composite/adb
# /sys/class/usb_composite/adb
/sys/class/usb_composite/adb: permission denied

adb is supposed to be used from your PC, need to install Android SDK there, not try to run it from phone shell.

Thanks, will try that out now and just installing JDK and Android SDK R11...

Ok. If you get permissions denied stuff, I would suggest loosely following this one:
http://dylanmtaylor.com/2010/10/19/closer-to-a-proper-froyo-limit-removal-fix/
For the remount /system thing, you need to check the actual device being mounted by running something like:
Code:
$ mount | grep /system
as it differs from device to device.
(Other way would involve getting ro.secure=0 which might be more complex than needed here. You can check what you have by getprop | grep ro.secure)

[Q] Idolian Tablet

Hey guys, I have rooted many phones and never had a problem. My question is this, I just bought a new Idolian tablet running android 2.3 and was wondering if their is a way to root this device?
The tablet only cost $99.99 and can be found at Idolian.com. It had great reviews and seems to be a new device. I searched this forum and could nothing about it.
Thanks,

I got a different inexpensive tablet running android 2.2, a Sumas Media SMT-708PAD. I used Universal Androot to root it work without any problems. Also could try SuperOneClick.
I gave it to my wife to replace her color handspring (PalmOS) to play games on.
How do you like the Idolian and which one did you get? I ran into it looking for an inexpensive 7" tablet that has bluetooth, gps, sd card and usb (A and B).

i used super one click to root both my idolian tablets.

Idolian Turbotab C8
Here we go!
I bought an idolian turbotab c8 (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B007REMD84/ref=oh_details_o00_s00_i00)
Seemed like a great buy. Company said it had google play and flash support, etc with ICS...It does, only they don't work, even when I've reset it several times. Their tech support isn't that tech saavy.
So, I figured I would try installing Clockwork recovery mod and CM-9 for the LY-F1, which was a very similiar model and give it a shot, if not, then I could install the stock rom from the idolian website: http://www.idolian.com/downloads.aspx
I'm using ubuntu 12.04 LTS and sdk-tools with adb.
Through the command prompt, I've downloaded CWM recovery from here:
http://www.tekunix.com/downloads/CWMRecovery.rar
and CM9 via here: http://www.mirrorcreator.com/files/X...9_v9.zip_links
All of which was referenced by this forum: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1662324&page=11

No Thead for Matricom G-Tab Quantum 10.1

I just recently purchased a G-Tab Quantum for my mom from Amazon. They seem to be a new company, I have always had good luck with new companies when it comes to electronics so I thought I would get it for her for her business. It seems to be a great tablet. I have tested it out immensely it comes rooted out of box which is a nice addition. It's quad core processor is pretty quick and it responds quickly to input. I was thinking there should be a section devoted to this device. I am thinking about getting another for myself to dev with.
I was wondering if there is anyone else who has this device?

Given the number of reviews on Amazon I'm sure there is a good size market for a custom rom on one of these. Given the difficulties with the MALI400 GPU and video rendering i'm sure the stick tv community would appreciate some work in this department as well.

please start some development
I almost bought this recently, but didn't because of how new it was without any custom support. Guy at work got one for Christmas, so I've had a chance to look at it.
I have my Father-in-law and possibly my wife talked into getting one. Would love to see something done for this device.

I recently purchased a second one, but it it has 4.4 on it but it is no longer rooted . You can enter into the boot loader but I have not been able to root it. Does anyone have any idea how to root the Q-Tab w Android 4.4 on it?

I couldn't get Towelroot to work either. But, Fakir420, were you able to root your Matricom device using Kingo? I want to make sure before I try it. Also, what version of Android did your tablet have? Android 4.2 or 4.4.2?
Thanks!

Matricom has released 4.4.2 firmware for Quantum and Iota tablets.
matricom.net in the forms section
Kingo will root the Iota, I have done this myself, I do not know for sure about the Quantum. However the Quantum firmware will run on the Iota so I assume it would root the Quantum as well. These tablets seem to be very similar.

Matricom G-Tab Quantum 10.1
The kingo android root is able to root my Matricom G-Tab Quantum 10.1 with 4.4.2 kitkat...I had no issues what so ever

Hey guys I got a Matricom G-Tab 10.1 8GB. It had the 4.2.2 firmware on it. I was having issues with it and what not and was suggested to format & firmware upgrade.
I went to a link from the Matricom site that showed a simple step by step guide to updating.
Followed the steps perfectly. Downloaded the 4.2.2 Quantum (8 GB) firmware IMG file & phoenix suit.
It started the upgraded and went all the way to 100%. Said the device would restart itself when it was done. Well it sat for over 2 hours with nothing happening. I tried to turn it back on and nothing. I tried all sorts of button combos to get it to boot and nothing. It had 82% battery life when I went into the firmware upgrade. From what I found it is possibly soft-bricked. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Rooting The Matricom G-Tab Quantum Tablet
I have been attempting to root this Matricom Android Tablet for awhile
now, but with only partial success. It is my hope posting here that a
more knowledgeable xda member could examine the information provided
below and redirect my efforts. This in turn would help other members.
Although stuck now, the rooting effort seems close to success. Now
have a working adb bridge and with root (#) command prompt. The root
(#) persists on adb shell across device boots but the stand alone android
tablet never acquires root access and never provides root permissions for
any of its applications. Strange? (The // indicates commented code.)
User Comments:
========================================================================
From the stand alone tablet the SU Root Checker application reports:
Result: ROOT PERMISSION NOT GRANTED OR SUPERUSER APP MISSING.
The Superuser application was verified present at /system/app/Superuser.apk, (-rw-r--r-- root root).
Apparently the adb shell has acquired full root (#) access (good), even after reboots.
But the Android Tablet in stand alone use does not have root access (bad),
and the tablet android terminal emulator shows only the $ command prompt (bad),
and the tablet does not grant root permissions to any applications (bad).
So the net result is no root access on tablet. (Confusing?)
All local tablet rooting procedures (without the adb bridge without laptop) have failed.
However both SRS One Click Root and SuperOneClick which operate over the
adb bridge both report successful roots. (An Unroot and then (re)Root does not help.)
SRS One Click Root v4.7 (used across adb bridge to tablet)

Can confirm, kingo root worked for newest shipped unrooted 4.4.2 iota. Mine shipped with 8gb, however.

kingo, like all adware, is unacceptable
Is there any way to root Matricom Quantum without installing malware- or without having a license for Windows?
kingo is malware: adware.

has anyone found a way to upgrade these to android 6/7/8?

GetMeIn : One time rooting/jailbreaking tool for webOS LG TV's

Hello XDA,
After a long thinking i've decided to create a root or jailbreak tool for LG's awesome webOS, today am stating this thread to release this new root tool, but before that! am gonna ask you for some logs from webOS 3.5 and lower.
Everyone in this thread must know about webOS if not do your homework then get back again, LG did a great work on this operating system after HP and Palm's versions. they even supported Raspberry Pi module B. but webOS OSE aka Open Source Edition is really different from TV's version.
LG think about Security and frequently release updates that doesn't have anything new except some patches to close down known holes, one of my favorites was a directory traversal that can replace in tv files and binaries during install (partially closed recently).
let'stake a look at LG's partition filesystem types, on tv's they chooses to use ext4 for writable partitions (/var, some of /mnt/lg/*, /home and /media) everything else is using squashfs which is a read only compressed filesystem you cannot modify it.
If you can dump the squashfs partition unshquash it then recompress you will face another problem of hashes and crc checks (checkout the update binary for more details) if you dd it back to block device without kernel and/or bootloader patches. so this is not gonna just work easily.
What we can really do it play on the RW parts of the system, one of the design flaws on webOS is the devmode aka Developer Mode, they ship it in a Read Write partition so that's easy to be modified.
To do that you must have root access or some powerful exploits to achieve your goal.
This method is using memory access vulnerability to get root and then jailbreak the tv. i ported some parts of the other root thread even if some are not even needed.
To jailbreak connect to your tv via prisoner user after uploading GetMeIn binary into it then :
Code:
chmod +x GetMeIn
./GetMeIn
if root succeed and you saw some errors do this :
Code:
mkdir -p /media/cryptofs/root/etc
mkdir -p /media/cryptofs/root/lib
After that just reboot and enjoy your root with same ssh key, or use password "alpine".
there is some old pictures attached, i did some modifications after those.
Hope this is good enough.:angel:

HOW-TO
To use this GetMeIn webOS Jailbreak tool please create a developer account on LG's developer portal, install developer mode application on your TV and connect with your recently created account.
Open dev mode app please set the Dev Mode Status to ON and Key Server to ON.
grab your ssh key with ares then connect to your tv using ssh :
Code:
[email protected]:~# ssh -i ~/.ssh/webOS_TV [email protected] -p 9922
when you get connected you just follow the steps on the thread.
Please test and share back screen shouts and logs from tv in both cases failure or success.
I need informations from your webOS v 3.5 and lower, TV model and webOS version and some commands from the tv.
okay first of all create a dir named logs :
Code:
mkdir logs
TV Infos :
Code:
cat /var/run/nyx/device_info.json > logs/device_info.json
(delete your nduid serial number and mac addresses)
webOS Infos :
Code:
cat /var/run/nyx/os_info.json > logs/os_info.json
Code:
cat /proc/cpuinfo > logs/cpu.log
Code:
ls -arls /var/log/ > logs/logdir.log
Code:
ls -arls /usr/lib/ > logs/libsdir.log
Code:
ls -arls /proc/ > logs/procdir.log
Code:
ls -arls /dev/ > logs/devices.log
In case the jailbreak works restart and run this additional commands :
Code:
mount > logs/mounts.log
i think that's everything i need, upload the logs dir somewhere and put a link here.

Reserved again.

So this only works on webOS 3.5 and below?

Your version is not supported by this tool, you have webos 3.8 unfortunately, and i really cannot help without access to tv with new api version, & i will need testers for newer devices.

@Maroc-OS
WebOS has the web socket endpoints to control the TV like
Code:
ssap://tv/getChannelList
After rooting the TV is possible to find out all the available endpoints on the TV? LG unfortunately has absolutely no documentation about it except the endpoints in the examples they provide.
If it is not too much work, could you please provide a list of all the available endpoints? I guess those needs to be defined somewhere in a config file...

Thank you for this awesomely fun opportunity to get into my panel! While I understand this is in its infancy, would you know a way of downgrading OS version? (Im on 4.x.x.x)
I hope sideload and extract creds in the best future. Thank you one again for the time and sharing of this. ?

What would be a good reason to root a smart tv? What can I do afterward?

now THIS is interesting! well done!

Same will we be able to download apps like Showbox or shadow tech(cloud gaming service)? After rooting we are all familiar with root on the phone side but rooting tv is definitely a first

thats what i'm asking myself too.
or was this the first step and now homebrew apps will rise?
please enlighten me someone. :laugh:

Sorry if this is a dumb question, but does this mean that Android TV could be ported over? That would be fantastic.

Fuking crazy
I'm about to root today after work.
Hope we get Android apps soon

This is awesome! and coming from someone from my home country. Genius!
Would it be possible to install Android TV after using this method?
Thank you very much!

I haven't tried the jailbreak yet, but here are the logs from two of my LG TVs:
LG EF9500: mediafire.com/file/8da335aynddi4se/LG_EF9500_Logs.zip
LG UF6400: mediafire.com/file/8045q0d0o6j8453/LG_UF6400_Logs.zip
XDA wont let me add hyperlinks so you'll have to copy and paste.

Wow seems there is some reactions to this topic.
first of all thank you for testing and reacting to this subject.
i will replay to every post one by one after this post.
thanks for you all.
