Very bad... I thought internal memory back up only deleted , i had it on sd card (flash) my 2 backups including last one from 2 days ago deleted... but anyway internal memory is not wiped i can back up any time ... thats one good thing...

by the b4 i got root ( worked on second attempt) - on both attempt.. i got error message , 'cant connect external memory.. connect and try again' . the error is not worded exactly , still that was about... but otherwise proceeded successfully...
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Bin4ry:
There is, it is a file with some fileXX files inside, the android backup manager restore this files while a loop runs to symlink /data/local.prop to file99, once file99 is being created the local.prop is filled with the qemu=1 value and after reboot you will get a root adb shell ;)

The script then is going to put all stuff in place and removed the local.prop again.

Regards
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Bin4ry:
Uh really? i will try again without wiping the backups, i am not sure if it is working then correctly, on my last trys i had not manager to get it working when NOT deleting internal backup, you can peek a look in the script, it runs wipes internal files.

Is there any way to root it, if possible by a simple metod, for GB?

Because my network is from Portugal, and i don't have the upgrade ready for me ;/
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] s-X-s:
It should be when Root back up installed onto sesmic_backup folder... After its done only available restore option is root one... But options lists could be pulled out from system which may be deleted . but actual back up is deleted in flash memory is not understandable when nothing on sd card is usually touched

No luck with v2 as well. Note that I converted the batch to a shell script to run on my Mac, using the official adb from the Android SDK.

The script is:

Guys,

I confuse, I unpack Root_with_Restore_by_Bin4ry.7z to desktop, connected Acro S with debugging mode, run the RUN ME and program run but phone does not reacting, no rebooting, and I couldn't find the file Root me in Back up & Restore program

What Im doing wrong???
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] oportista17:
Without flashing the phone, any other safe way to root it? Because i still want the upgrade from sony when/if avaliable..

Running on GB
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] md1008:
If you are able to do that, that would be awesome. I am treating this more as a temporary root, if I need a program to have SU then I will manually set it to grant. I think maybe if there was a way to update the binary in Superuser then maybe we get prompted to accept or deny SU. Maybe if we could manually dump the right binary using root browser we might be able to fix this.

I tried 17 on my mom's Kyocera Rise and could not get it to work. I saw this and found v3 and after trying a few times it finally worked.

I did try useing superuser instead of superSU and it didn't work either.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] nerys71:
to make it work right on the hydro just FREEZE SuperSU and then run the v2 root (it will install superuser) and it will work fine. it will properly prompt for root grant/deny access.

before freezing SuperSU just install super user to system. then freeze SuperSu and try it out (reboot) I have not tried this of course so YMMV

v17 WORKS its SuperSU that is not working exactly right for the hydro.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] eep1:
Why not just run v3 since it works instead of running something that doesn't work then something that was going to work anyway?

I just ran v2 and it does indeed work! I am assuming the bin4ry root pushes supersu in the "stuff" folder, if I remember correctly I put superuser.apk in the stuff folder in v17 however it still installed supersu. In any case v2 works just fine!

tried new script (v17) on htc desire vc and still cannot retain root access.

it appears sometimes copying su and busybox binary to /system/xbin result in error, but sometimes it works.

the problem still on su and busybox binaries are deleted after some time even when the device is not rebooted to regular mode (still on emulator mode, local.prop)

i can keep su and busybox on /data/local, but executing su from /data/local does not gives root access, whereas busybox can run without problem but with no root access (because su does not work)

[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] am05mhz:
thanks for your reply, but .55 firmware will not work for me (I assume its an xperia firmware) since my device isn't an xperia, and I don't need this script if I want to flash a firmware or custom recovery. I could just unlock the bootloader at HTCDEV and flash custom recovery and root it (there is a working method for that), but I want to root my phone without having to unlock my bootloader.

btw, the script works fine, its just the su binary keeps on deleted after a while. well, basically any modification on /system/bin and /system/xbin will be reverted after some time. that leaves me just binaries on /data/local since I copied those binaries there before copying it to /system/xbin or /system/bin.

thanks anyway :)

This is what you need to do :

[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] am05mhz:
i think its not trying to run windows binary, you got a permission denied error, so you should check the permission if the binaries are executable.

for unix box that would be adb file (without the .exe file), please refer to chmod syntax on linux. I don't know about mac though, if there is such a command for mac.

PS: if you want to be sure unix binaries are executed, just delete/move the .exe files, you don't need them

I do not regret. This update rocks. Camera seems faster to open, the proximity sensor during calls works flawless, (I already had good battery on 45 that remained), and the overall UI seems really smooth and always responsive - always! Thank you Sony!
