Wonder if I should maybe manually delete something? I also checked NFC, it works.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Bin4ry:
Did it ask you for Superuser access? I think your Superuser apk may have crashed due too short after reboot.

Well if NFC starts making problems then just remove /data/usf folder, thats what the script itself should do at the end.

Regards
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Bin4ry:
Yes, one time rooting is also enough, no need to rerun every version. i just bugfix for people who are having problems.If for you all was good no need to rerun.

Just uninstall one app now, i would recommend superuser, as supersu seems to do strange stuff while installed this way sometimes.

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

I've a Ion (LT28h) device on android 4.0.4 with 6.1.E.3.7 stock firmware (9x00B-SCA... baseband), I'm stuck on this message:

"If all is succesfull I will tell you, if not this shell will run forever.

Running ......"

I can see "Rootme" backup and I do it, the ION device show me the correct message "Backup successful...", but it happens nothing on PC screen.

ADB and all drivers are installed...
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] reflexing:
Unfortunately I don't remember if it asks about Superuser access :) Forgot to mention that I also needed to convert line endings in RunMe.sh from DOS to UNIX (I used dos2unix RunMe.sh).
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] NZtechfreak:
Can someone PM me a download link.

Once I have it I can supply another mirror.

Incidentally, this isn't exactly a big file, any particular reason not to just upload to somewhere painless like Dropbox?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Bin4ry:
Yes, and i explained it here in the thread. Just put some effort in finding my HONEST answer to it! Let me tell you.... if only every second user would donate me 1 Dollar ... Well then i would have > 1 Million Dollars.

Because only very very very very very few users donate i decided uploading to a host like this, where i get a LITTLE money for the downloads.

I choose uploaded and cloudzer because everyone can download there for free too. So noone is forced to pay anything but everyone profits, you profit from free download and free software and i profit from the download because i get a little money for it.

Thats just a honest answer =)

Regards
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] kingvortex:
That's fair enough as I fully believe in devs being rewarded for their work.

However, I have tried multiple times over a couple of days to download this from both mirrors and only get a corrupted ~200 byte file every single time. Are there not more reliable places to host that give you a bit of cash? It's just a bit inconvenient having to wait 3 hours after every corrupted download ;)

I do not want a mirror from a third party as I only trust things like this from the original source :)
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Bin4ry:
Thats a bit strange, i never had problems downloading there.

Using a normal Win7 Laptop w/ Chrome no "NoScirpts" or Stuff.

If you experience bad problems you can use a unrestrict service like rapid8.com

The problem of dwnlding occurs when u use download managers, so disable ur dwnld manager and then dwnld it works fine

Sent from my furr furr :P
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] clinta:
Ive seen many users complaining that download link doesn’t work for them I had same problem I used this method and can now download without any problem

Those who have problem downloading from the download links it must be because of idm. U must be getting this error”web page was sent”. To get rid of this go to Idm>download >options>general>keys there is option reads “use following keys to prevent download with idm link”

Make sure atleast one key is checked. I use alt and shift keys.Now before clicking the download button on upload.net press the keys you selected in my case shift and alt keys simultaneously then click on download button.

By this method your download will start directly and you will have no problem in downloading

Ps-download link works fine problem with download manager
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] NZ-Simplicity:
That's strange, I have always been able to download the file with no problems, the only time I ever had a problem is when I let my download manager try to download it, so I just use the built in downloader in firefox get it for me and it only takes a few seconds..
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] kingvortex:
I managed to download it a few minutes ago. I didn't change anything - I use Chrome with no download managers or extensions etc. It just worked this time. Strange :D
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] FenrirMX:
Bin4ry, I'm not sure if it's permitted here, but what about Ad.fly and other such services? I'm not really familiar with them, but I do believe they'd give you a small profit like the way you suggested your upload service does, and they'd give you the freedom to use any uploading site.

Just food for thought, I haven't run into any trouble getting your stuff.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Emp_M:
I'm also unable to get the download to work, even with the rapid8 and what not. No download manager. It's really annoying me.

EDIT: Got it to download at uni. I'm now wondering if I need to create udev rules to root with this method on a Linux system. Getting my hands on a Windows machine that it would work for might take a while, as I doubt it would work for the uni computers.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] zzztidurvirus:
Download not working. Maybe my isp blocked it (403?). Tried to download via opera and opera mini also ucbrowser, failed with 502. Later will try using some kind of proxy to download.

With the help of your script I managed to root my chinese new mobile (Jiayu G2-S). Thanks a lot.

I had some problems, had to run it several times, reboot once in-between (which installed the drivers again), but in the end it worked.

By the way, in the START label of runme.bat

stuff\adb.exe restore stuff/fakebackup.ab
stuff\adb.exe shell "while ! ln -s /data/local.prop /data/data/com.android.settings/a/file99; do :; done" > NUL
echo Please look at your device and click RESTORE!
echo If all is successful i will tell you, if not this shell will run forever.
echo Successful, going to reboot your device!

Shouldn't be the loop some lines below? Just before the echo Successful?

In the bash script it is:

./stuff/adb restore stuff/fakebackup.ab
echo "Please look at your device and click RESTORE!"
echo "If all is successful i will tell you, if not this shell will run forever."
./stuff/adb shell "while ! ln -s /data/local.prop /data/data/com.android.settings/a/file99; do :; done" >/dev/null
echo "Successful, going to reboot your device!"

Or it goes the right way, with remount sucessful and everything smooth til the end, when it reboots and i "lose" root.

Hey guys... I'm amazed... I had before an X10, then an ARC, which broke a few weeks ago... Since I didn't have money to buy a new one or fiz the old one, I accepted one the phone company in Brazil had offered me, a P705 from LG, the LG L7...

It's a pretty good phone, but there's absolutely no development for it yet... There's a script to root it on one post here on the forum, but all my attempts failed, I bricked my phone twice so I was giving up... THEN... I saw a tweet from XDA about this script, and since I'm a huge fan of all you developers from the SONY devices I gave this a try... It's working like a charm, I'm already removing all the bloatware my phone company puts on their phone... You can post it on the main post that the script also works on the L7!!!

My next phone I'm definitely going back to SONY! THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!

[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] presta87:
So, what I have to do?

I have tried the method written by Bin4ry, but after I try to type

adb shell "while ! ln -s /data/local.prop /data/data/com.android.settings/a/file99; do :; done"

, you say "command will fill your console windows with much "errors". Now press the restore button on the phone. in the moment you clicked restore the shell should stop yelling errors".

The problem is that the restore button is not available at this moment!!!

EDIT: also using the code by txakar I have a problem!!! Bin4ry said "In the moment you clicked restore the shell should stop yelling errors". This doesn't happen!!! The routine continues on my DOS window!

I have not tried to continue the procedure with the other commands yet.
