Hi all! I hope this is the correct place where to ask this kind of question. I have a Chinese tablet that I need to root in order to run some applications. It mounts a 4.4.2 Android version and I can access via adb by opening an adb root shell. The table is called letine lt707a .
This is what I did:
Code:
adb shell mount -o remount,rw /system
adb push su /system/xbin
adb shell busybox chmod 6755 /system/xbin/su
Then I installed a version of Superuser.apk. When I open a terminal emulator app from the device, if I write "su" I obtain a "Permission denied" message.
Where is the problem? Maybe I have an old binary su? I can't understand
I also tried with SuperSU without any results
Hi there,
I'm sorry but I can't find anything related to your question/device:
Please post that in the forum bellow for more answers from the experts:

Hello devs, i have searched google and this forum on how to install busybox via terminal emulator. Ive downloaded the bin, made the data/busybox directory. The instructions that i read said to " cat /sdcard/busybox > data/busybox/ " after that i get halted by a message that says " cannot create data/busybox is a directory.
All other instructions are via adb through pc which i wont have access too for a while. Can anyone direct me to, or reply with the terminal emulator steps to successfully install busybox? Thanks in advance devs

Try:
Code:
cat /sdcard/busybox > /data/busybox/busybox
chmod 755 /data/busybox/busybox
chown root.shell /data/busybox/busybox
Still didnt work. I have the file on my sdcard titled busybox.bin
Am i supposed to remove the file extension? Or do i have to create a directory titled busybox
And drop busybox.bin inside?
Jus for reference, this is the link to the instructions i stumbled upon. Anything wrong in the code?

Howdy,
Can someone tell me what exactly rage.bin is/does to the phone?
I understand that busybox is essentially a list of UNIX commands made available on the Android system and that SU elevates the ability to issue commands but I cannot figure out what rage.bin actually is.
Why would I need to use it to root my phone? Why wouldn't I just ADB su and busybox to /system/xbin and CHMOD and CAT them?
Thanks,
Z
i tried a few ways to root my atrix 2 but i cant. I tried super one click, lazy one click (or however its called) and i cant root it i have a mac someone help! is there another way to root the atrix 2?
I heard there was an app that can do it too. Its in this forum somewhere.
I used the manual method on my Mac with no issues, did it twice actually.
What error messages are you getting?
I'll be home in about 15 mins and I can help further

If all else fails, you could always reflash the fkz's, than try to root again, but the problem here is that you have a mac. Perhaps borrow a friends pc, or install Windows through bootcamp. (I wouldn't recommend a Virtual Machine though).
OK so if you used a root tool in the first place then I assume that-
-You have adb set up
-You have the necessary files to push (zerg, su, superuser.apk)
If you have no idea of what I'm talking about then just look around the folders of the root tools and you'll find them.
OK, here's what you have to do:
1. Open up a terminal.
2. CD (change directory) to where you have the necessary files located, ex. "cd ~/Desktop/" if they're on the desktop
3. Enter the following commands (one line at a time):
Code:
adb shell
cd /data/local
rm ./temp/*
exit
This removes temporary files created by the root exploit.
4. Now enter these commands (again, one at a time)
Code:
adb push zerg /data/local
adb push su /data/local
adb push Superuser.apk /data/local
adb shell
cd /data/local
chmod 777 zerg
./zerg
adb shell
mount -o rw,remount /dev/null /system
cat /data/local/su > /system/bin/su
cat /data/local/Superuser.apk > /system/app/Superuser.apk
chmod 4755 /system/bin/su
chmod 4755 /system/app/Superuser.apk
reboot
I hope you understand this... good luck getting complete root.
thread moved to general forum
If you find a specific android app that can do this for you and you can post it in the OP, I will gladly move it down to its original location. Until there, it doesnt belong in the app and themes forums.
What's your android version ?

Unfortunately that app seems to have only been in the market and was recently removed... I tried looking for it today. Please correct me if I'm wrong!

You're correct, the app was written by an author who made it just to make money... he never even tested it. He took it down because it didn't work.
Most important question of all here: What OS are you running on your Mac?
If you're running 2.3.6 you can't root yet. You need to downgrade to 2.3.5
Can I root to my Newsmy T3 7" Android 4.0 Tablet?

Ah sorry didn't realise t3 and t7 were different. As said just started research on this. The tablet is for my young daughter (under 3!) and it keeps her busy doing YouTube etc. Bought it a month ago but didn't decide to research and install a rom on it as it's been okay until I installed games on it this week and zaps battery.
I only know I got her a newsmy 7inch tablet,will look into what model heh. If it's a t3 I will look for it as well and let you know if I find one or will look into writing one as I've got back into coding after 6-7 year absence due to a motorbike injury.
Root for Newsmy T3
Hey Guys, I just got one of these tablets and I was able to root mine quickly by following the instructions on this forum.
http://www.flashmyandroid.com/forum/showthread.php?309-ROOT-TOOL-for-ICS-4-0-3
download link for files: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/1503729/RK2918_4.0_ROOT.rar
thanks Dave.S for posting it!
When I first tried to root mine I had some problems getting the correct drivers installed and I stumbled upon the Knives-and-Fork tool made by DieHappy that was very helpful and it sets up ADB nicely. http://forums.acsyndicate.net/showthread.php?5008
Succesfully rooted my Newsmy T3
It is strange but this fine tablet (Newsmy T3) is poorly covered in the web. It has been very difficult to find any info about flashing or rooting it let alone finding the correct rom.
I just managed to root the device. It was not so easy as implied in some posts because adb shell was unable to copy superuser.apk and su to the revelant folders even after remounting system as rw. But it seems that this tablet comes with busybox preinstalled (even though as non routed, busybox cant work properly until you root the device). So when connected via adb shell you can copy the above files to system/app and /bin respectively by issuing the revelant busybox commands. In brief do the following:
1) Google for superuser.apk and su for ICS 4.0.4 and download the two files.
2) Send those files to your sdcard with adb (issue those 2 commands: adb push superuser.apk /sdcard/superuser.apk and adb push su /sdcard/su)
3) Go into console mode (adb shell) and issue the following commands:
4) su (gain original privileges)
5) mount -o rw,remount -t ext3 /dev/block/mtdblock8 /system (This remounts the system folder as rw)
There is already a su file under system/xbin (or system/bin) on this device, now it is time to copy it on your sdcard as a backup in case something goes wrong.
Now with the help of busybox you can copy su and superuser to the desired locations...
6) busybox cp /sdcard/superuser.apk /system/app/superuser.apk
7) busybox cp /sdcard/su /system/bin/su
8) busybox cp /sdcard/su /system/xbin/su
Next, set the correct permissions for su:
9) busybox chmod 6755 /system/bin/su
10) busybox chmod 6755 /system/xbin/su
All ok now exit adb shell...
11) exit
At this point your newsmy T3 is already rooted and you can check it with any free software like rootcheck. Once checked, reboot the device and youre done.
Hope this helps.

What about using another root explorer app?
(E.g. Root Explorer, ES File Manager, etc.)
Keep in mind that you have to enabe root features in the explorer app itself and grant it root permissions in SuperSU app.
In some root explorer apps, you have to mount system partition as R/W (read/write) before you are able to change something in there.
For further questions, please ask in the Galaxy Star Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting forum.

Ok, here is a guide about adb shell: [GUIDE][ADB]Easiest How to use adb, logcat, etc for noobs and newbies.
And here are some useful shell commands: [GUIDE] Basic Unix/Linux command to use with ADB SHELL.
Including chmod, example "chmod 755 /system/tmp/root.sh".
Make sure to got into root mode with "su" before.
And here is a nice guide of a friend of mine about the different file permissions: [Guide]Noob Guide To Set File Permission's [28-08-2012].
