Medion Lifetab MD 99300 (S9714) success

Hi all

I can confirm that "Normal" mode works for 'Medion Lifetab MD 99300 (S9714)'.

@Bin4ry

Thanks for "Root MANY ANDROID!". :good:

I would suggest you update the line

echo 2) Special (for example: Sony Tablet S, Medion Lifetab)

in the RunMe scripts to be more specific about which "Medion Lifetab" needs "Special" mode, because, as posted already, "Special" mode does not work for 'Medion Lifetab MD 99300 (S9714)'. Current RunMe scripts are confusing and misleading because they made me choose 2 :rolleyes:.

Have a nice day

@Bin4ry I apologize for placing a link to your script, I was on the impression that this was placed on a free4all site, but I did it mostly after that lady was pleading for help as she couldn't get it from the post#1. I see that you need to collect some donations, or how do you go about that? I would like to place a couple of bucks for the help your script did for me.

[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Metaxify:
Hi there I have a Sony Xperia S with android 4.0.4 build number 6.1.A.0.453 and my problem goes as follows.

I downloaded the files from v18, and followed the video guide on youtube until certaing point. When I type in cmd the command to check that my xperia S is correctly connected (stuff\adb devices), the thing is that it isn't there, so I can't continue with the procedure.

I believe that the problem is that I don't have all the "drivers" installed in the computer, but that's weird, because I alwasys have it connected to the computer through PC Companion with no problem at all. In device Manager I have the Xperia S recognized, but not the Sony drivers that appear in the video.

I need help and guidance please, thanks.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] MajestyZ:
Xperia P here, had the same problem. Both programs installed (SU and PComp) but it kept getting stuck at ADB drivers thingy.

What I did to get it work was to use this piece of software:

http://www.nirsoft.net/utils/usbdeview.zip

Run it, and deinstall your phone there (it's highlighted in green) including the other highlighted in green thing (should be something called composed USB devices or something). Then replug your phone and it should reinstall itself.

I've found the link to the software here: http://www.androidsim.net/2009/08/how-to-1-how-to-install-usb-driver-on.html

The problem is that the latest software cannot be rooted yet for me, haha. I hope he'll be able to get that working.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Metaxify:
I run the program you quoted and the thing is that the only highlighted things for me are USB Composed devices (like 4 of them) and a Validity sensor, my Sony Mass Storage USB isn't in green, it's in grey. What do you recommend me to do?

Thanks for answering by the way. :)

Edit: Okay the problem was that I hadn't my phone connected via USB xD, so I connected it and it highlighted a Sony Mass Storage USB. No xperia or things like that. Shall I uninstall that?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] MajestyZ:
Haha, I'd suggest to uninstall your phone indeed.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Metaxify:
Alright then, I'll uninstall the Sony Mass Storage USB thingy, and try to root it, I'll get back to you if everything went fine:)

Edit: Okay I managed to make my computer recognize the phone (I'll explain the proccess later if needed), but now the problem is that after following the guide step by step, when my phone reboots, it only crashes the Xperia Home App and I can't do anything. :S

Need guidance please.

Edit 2: Everything fine now:) All fault to my laptop not recognizing my phone >.>

Not on KFHD 7.2.3

I tried this method to root my Kindle Fire HD running v7.2.3 but unfortunately it didn't work...

Firstly in the command window it reported that the version of ADB.EXE supplied with Root_with_Restore_by_Bin4ry_v18 in the stuff folder was out of date. Fortunately I have the full Android development environment on my laptop so I moved this software into the C:\Development_Tools\android-sdk-windows\platform-tools folder and edited the BAT file to replace all references to stuff/ADB.EXE to be just ADB.EXE and then tried again.

As I watched the script run, just about every command reported "PERMISSION DENIED".

The thread I started with then suggested I follow this process with QemuRoot. I had tried this earlier and had the same issue with ADB and had moved it as above but it failed with "Cannot create /data/local.prop - PERMISSION DENIED"...

But this time, running it after running Root_with_Restore_by_Bin4ry_v18 it reported that it worked.

So I downloaded Android Term Emulator onto my ASUS TF201 and sideloaded it onto the MFHD and it clearly tells me that the KFHD is NOT rooted.

Is there perhaps an update to Root_with_Restore_by_Bin4ry_v18 that will now work? Or is it that the KFHD has been auto-updated to a state where that vulnerability is closed?

Thanks for your help

Steve.

[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] rocketero:
@Bin4ry,

I"m looking at the code for RunMe.bat to UNROOT the device, it shows this:

:UNROOT
set /p unr=Really (y/n) ?
IF %unr% == n GOTO CHOICE
stuff\adb.exe push stuff\busybox /data/local/tmp/busybox
stuff\adb.exe shell "chmod 755 /data/local/tmp/busybox"
stuff\adb.exe shell "su -c '/data/local/tmp/busybox mount -o remount,rw /system'"
stuff\adb.exe shell "su -c 'rm /system/xbin/su'"
stuff\adb.exe shell "su -c 'rm /system/app/Superuser.apk'"
GOTO FINISH

According to that busybox is still left at /data/local/tmp and also at the place where it was placed at rooting, at /system/xbin.

Some people were asking or saying that they don't want to root their device because they had purchase insurance on it, so I told them that this method was secure as it would unroot it with one selection from the menu. But in this case I was just wondering because busybox didn't come with the original device so it shouldn't be left in those folders. As the code shows busybox is needed to mount /system RW, but where should one place the code to delete them afterwards??

Your Answer Much appreciated, Regards.

rooted or not???

Hello!

I downloaded, your script (v18), and do evereything, just as well.

BUT!

It didn't change anything.

I downloaded root checker from appstore and this is the only one app that says it rooted. Any other apps verify it's unrooted.

I cannot use eg Titanium backup (because it's not rooted...)

busybox says it's rooted, but I cannot install it.

SU also not installable.

root uninstaller also cannot uninstall original apps (any device apps)

I have a hero h2000+ with ics 4.0.4 with MT6628 chipset
