No matter what site i will upload, there will always someone complain. So just dont use the rooting tool or live with it, btw: there are PLENTY solutions to download from uploaded if you have problems with it.

Just read my OP carefully, i mention smth. like rapid8 and unristricted.li

And now you ****ed around with your bad manners i will never change the site at all. I like uploaded.to, it is a fast relyable uploadingservice where i can also push through ftp. devhost and all the crap services are only giving me a few kb/s where uploaded gives me a few MB/s .....

So i cannot care for everyone ;) Sorry

xperia advance st27a

hi there,

i have tried to the latest version yesterday on my xperia advance (rebranded go)

(st27a, 4.0.4, build 6.1.1.B.1.10).

during the process there is a very quick popup about some storage failure,

but the RootMe backup appeared in the restore app. However after restoring

and rebooting the display stopped working properly and i could barely navigate

back to factory reset. it was very dim and the system theme turned all black,

so settings, menus, notification window were all unreadable, however apps

were visible when opened. the soft keys also stopped vibrating and they were

not backlit (but worked). Only the notification bar was clearly visible.

The only way i was able to navigate to factory reset was to keep long pressing

the power button when the screen would lit up for a split second before going

black again. of course in these conditions i was not able to check if the phone

got actually rooted, but the superuser app was definitely not in the drawer.

has anybody had a successful go with this on st27a?

edit: i used the normal mode
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Bin4ry:
Actually: That the phoine is laggy is intended BUT normally the script should now ( in the laggy state ) copy over su and superuser and then reboot again, after the reboot all should be fine.

Can you please test the RunMe.bat from my attachement? Just extract and overwrite the existing! If it works please report back so i can fix the error on first post.

Regards
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] loadaverage:
perhaps i used the wrong wording: the phone is not laggy. i simply cannot see anything on the screen

because its black (expect the notification bar). it is not about waiting for the phone to react.

it works normally, but i am blind. i am sorry i dont have a screenshot. just imagine that the

screen is full black, and lits up for a split second when long pressing the power button.

(like having a stroboscope) that is how i managed to navigate to

settings -> backup & reset -> factory data reset.

and all this is happening _after_ the reboot -- the scripts runs fine and quick.

sorry i cannot risk another test right now, i am travelling in latin america and

need the phone to survive :] rooting will have to wait for now...

(i tried to do it because of the learning client 2.1 issue in the first place)

sorry!

[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] loonyone:
Somebody else in the thread posted that they were stuck at *daemon started successfully* and nothing further happened. I didn't see an update to what I should do if that happens. There is no activity on my PC or on my Kindle. I did shut everything down, and reboot my PC and try again, but I got to the same spot. My Kindle never does anything. It's just staying on the carousel and giving no messages at all.

Diagnostics: I made sure ADB was enabled (which I understand is the same as turning on USB debugging when on a Kindle 8.9). I also confirmed I can see the device properly in Device Manager.

Any ideas what I should do next?

Thanks!

Edit: I'm attempting to root a non-LTE Kindle Fire HD 8.9 on system version 8.3.0.

script version 25

I am getting farther than before. I get to the step where it's rebooting, then waiting for device, then it tries to copy files to its place and mount says permission denied. I get success when I hit the restore button, from the script. When that message shows up, the phone is still booting up. From the point where the first screen logo comes on during a boot, to the lockscreen showing up and it starts to scan the memory cards is thirty seconds. Is it possible that the phone is taking too long to get to the lock screen from a boot?

[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Hotfingers:
Hi all,

Tried v25 of the script on an XPERIA S (not running .55 firmware - I think it was .52 firmware).

(this was not my phone, so I didn't have much time to experiment)

The root worked on the 3rd try (it failed with SuperSu, but worked with superuser).

The google play store "dissapeared" after root - so I had to re-install it with adb (all account settings were OK).

The album didn't work anymore - camera preview also stopped working, but camera could still take photos.

So I got root, but the owner was so irritated with the new set-up (no camera and laggy phone) that I had to invoke the service center...

Would have loved to try get things working - since root worked it is probably possible to fix all the little funnies (with a bit of patience).

Thanks for the script.

I am curious, r u sure that u have root privileges?? e.g. Did u do any thing that require root?? Coz I once had my TX with same condition trying rooting it, had superuser but no permission asking or list in the app. Then I discovered that I really dont have root :-o. It just installed the superuser app on the phone.

Let me know :)

Re: Root MANY ANDROID! [Upd: 28.03.2013]

I haven't had success yet with my phone but you might be able to use cwm superuser with the script. I am not at my computer now so I can't look at it. If you could download the apk, then get it to the subdirectory where the other apk files are, then either remove a superuser that doesn't work but rename the cwm apk to the old file name you just deleted, it might work. Understand what I'm getting at?

Re: Root MANY ANDROID! [Upd: 28.03.2013]

Yes, it was full root.

The 1st test was to install supperSu.

Then I also ran AFWall+ and set up the firewall rules nicely.

It was so disappointing when the owner said "please unroot it for me". He's just too used to thinking of his phone as something like an iPhone :crying:

I think I may have bricked my phone with this. I've seen a few posts about using Bin4ry for the Blu Quattro 4.5, so I gave it a shot. Everything seemed to be working fine, but after the first reboot, I had to turn the phone back on manually. Then I got an error on permissions, then my phone went into continuous rebooting. It makes it to the lock screen, but then says Go Launcher and system UI have stopped and reboots. I don't think there's anything I can do, but I figured I'd ask anyway.

Re: Root MANY ANDROID! [Upd: 28.03.2013]

Plug out ur phone and manual restart, it should be ok. And rooted
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] j21blackjack:
Well, I'm not bricked, but as far as I can tell, this isn't going to work. Maybe Blu updated their firmware or something because I keep getting the "encryption password" screen instead of just restore. Every time I try this I end up in boot loops and have to factory reset. Thank goodness Blu has a built in restore, factory reset function. Took me a while to find it though.

**FIXED**

Found an old version v15 and it worked like a charm. Something must have changed to make it not work since v21 or v23.

Bug in v26 .bat file

There is GOTO CONTINUE statement (line 305), but there is no label CONTINUE, only CONTINUE2, so in some scenarios .bat fails (don't remember exact repro steps, but it did happen to me).

Also, I was unable to root 434, tried both v25 and v26 dozens of times.

No other software was running, did a clean reboot on both phone and PC.

First, I get white screen when entering Display Test (and then stuck). Killed adb.exe process, then

/system/bin/sh: can't create /sys/kernel/uevent_helper: Permission denied, Ok, nice.... (again, stuck at this point, killed adb.exe again)

Then again, "permission denied, are you root?" several times, Superuser does get installed, but not root.
