[Q] gingerbreak trouble with droid x

I am trying to root my droid x without success. It is stock Gingerbread 2.3.3. Version 4.5.596
I have tried formatting my sd card without benefit.
I have usb debuging enabled.
The logcat seems to indicated the data/data/ directory is not present or readable.
I tried mkdir /data/data from adb shell and I get:
opendir failed, Permission denied
Any suggestions?

Very nice! Have you read the commands int RootD3.cmd? It looks like a trivial exploit I'm sure google is going to fix that on next version.

Is it impossible?

Hi guys, I'm in Turkey and my friend went to USA 4 months ago. He promise bought me a HTC One X, when he bought my htc one x in amazon, amazon sent my friend a AT&T One X. This is not intentionally, and we sent message to amazon. And they sent me network pin to unlock my network. And I want to root, unlock bootloader, super cid . But I can't make this at the moment. I installed over and over htc drivers, and opened usb debugging mode, and opened root exploid. but this exploid says:
* daemon not running. starting it now on port 5037 *
* daemon started successfully *
DON'T TOUCH THE DEVICE OR UNPLUG WHILE ROOTING!

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.

Aye I just tried it with a one click installed and got a Supersu app...when I try opening it, it says that "there is no su binary installed, and the super su cannot install it. This is a problem"???

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

I see...so do I have to do it again? I don't get the su going in adb...I tried posting there, but it doesn't let me post >.<

Idk the steps for unlocking a phone under 1.85, but I'm sure you will need to know how to set up and use adb. Take your time. Don't rush

I am very desperate! Will donate as well! Rooting issue with Asus TF700T

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…
failed to copy ‘debugfs’ to ‘/data/local//debugfs’: Permission denied
failed to copy ‘su’ to ‘/data/local//su’: Permission denied
failed to copy ‘debugfsinput’ to ‘/data/local//debugfsinput’: Permission denied
failed on ‘/data/local/tmp’ – Permission denied
link failed File exists
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
rm failed for /data/local/tmp, Permission denied

rm failed for /data/local/su, No such file or directory
rm failed for /data/local/debugfs, No such file or directory
rm failed for /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
