says its successful but when it reboots it says 'mount: failed: permission denied' so it never got root access, i have tried a lot of other root methods and they all give me the same thing. Thats why im working on doing it myself.

yeah that method wont work with executing 'su' from /data/local/tmp because /data is mounted as nosuid which sucks..

I know one-clicks aren't the best way...

...but this seemed kind of interesting:

http www dot srsroot dot com (sorry, too new to post links :P )

They actually list the E270BSA in their "Tested models" page - but then they also say they have an average 48% success in rooting phones :/ From another forum I saw that their program tries 5 different root exploits.

The program is free - can anyone with a Sero 7 Lite give it a go and see what it says/does?
[General Questions and Answers] microwiz:
Hey guys - Klown80 hooked me up. SRSRoot didn't work - don't bother with it - but the new "end-to-end" Android vulnerability exploiter does (if your version of Android doesn't have both bugs patched already.)

On your device, get the app "SRS AppScanner", run it, and see if it says either of the two bugs are still "Vulnerable."

If either of them still is, go to http cydiaimpactor dot com and get the Impactor (which runs on your PC). Extract it (no install needed) and try the default exploit "# drop SuperSU su to /system/xbin/su". If it works, presto! You've got a working su binary and are rooted! Install e.g. SuperSU afterwards to give root access to other programs that need it. It's worked for me on two tablets so far (Sero 7 Pro and Sero 7 Lite) and I'm interested to try it on others!

(Oh, you'll need to have your device good to go for adb already too, for this to work. Seems like a pretty obvious thing to expect on XDA :) )

sero 7 lt root

So I have rooted the sero 7 lt. This was achieved using cydia impactor - GOOGLE IT.

(see http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2340693 for instructions)

Its loading the custom recovery I can't figure out. Something to do with signature verification. The Cut and dry recovery included (hold volume down and power from power off till logo appears, then release power only. At android belly open screen hold power and press volume up to access menu.) Won't matter can't toggle signature verification. Nothing will install. SuperSU and BusyBox installed from within. There is half the battle... time to win the war.
[General Questions and Answers] Klown80:
Yes I know Impactor works, you should have read back a page in this exact same thread you are in now. Instead of googling it, just look back a few posts :D

IT is also posted here too:

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=44446888&postcount=6

And that is the stock recovery you are talking about, all android devices have it. It is not possible to turn off signature verification within the stock recovery, hence the need for a custom recovery. The only thing you can flash within the stock recovery are OFFICIALLY signed zips made by your device manufacturer.

The guys at the Galaxy Note 2 forum think the Note 3 will have 4.3 when it comes out (supposedly) in November. They also theorize 4.3 will then be released on the Note 2 shortly after. I wonder if Samsung will release 4.3 on the S4 at that time.

4.3 OTA rolled out to both GPe devices last night. I got impatient, so I cleared Google Play Services/Google Services Framework, causing it to show my alst update check as 1969. It took three tries, but it gave me the update.

No major differences. Anandtech and a few others have already pointed out the obvious ones, so here's a recap;

Icons on home screen and app drawer are larger

digital clock widget much larger

bluetooth data tethering available

flat black from settings menu is gone, replaced with the gradient from the Nexus 4 and HTC One GPe

LTE bug is fixed (thank God!)

Hitting the menu button on the home screen brings up another option, "help" which opens the browser to Google's help page

There are others, but those are the ones that I noticed off the bat. There's also the setting for wifi scanning when turned off. I didn't notice any changes to the camera settings even though that was supposedly tweaked for us (we already had the new interface). Probably just under-the-hood tweaks.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] dworsky:
I have an unrooted AT&T Galaxy S 4 with a T-Mobile simcard on the $30 plan. I followed the instructions in the other forum to enable AWS. (As a noob, I take it that enabling AWS would allow me to get faster data speeds, outside of LTE, that T-Mobile provides that AT&T does not.)

I just did the over the air update from AT&T, and people are reporting that they lost AWS. (When I use the app, SignalCheck Lite, both before and after the update, I have seen that I can be connected at various times to Edge, HSPA, HSPA+, and LTE, depending on where I am.)

I am not fully convinced I ever had AWS after going thru the enabling procedure, because I don't know how to recognize it if I am connected to it (or if it is now available on my phone).

So, excuse the dumb question, but how do I know if I have enabled AWS and am now connecting via one of its frequencies? Please be very specific on what to look for and where.

Thanks,

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] solidedgard:
Hello guys, sorry for my bad english, but I'm not American. Well, my question is:

I bought from a guy a Galaxy S I900b, Brazilian model with digital TV. Came with stock 2.3. As I had already read enough before, upgraded to JWB Saurom with semaphore kernel, which I think is the default for this rom. Well, the phone had very poor battery life, evn on idle. Then upgraded to 10.2 CM. I saw that had some wakelocks, and with BBS and the help here, I used the Scan Media Root and my problems are gone in iddle. So, my phone goes into deep sleep and today during my sleep, only lost 3% battery, 3% battery drain on idle during about 5-6 hours it very good to me. But during use, it ends up very fast, and with GSAM and standard monitor of the android, I saw that after the screen, the Android system was what had higher %% battery. So what could it be ? The battery life is ok, checked on info, and its condition is 'good'. I use to Greenify, and close almost every game\app, so running is just grenify and ram manager pro.

So the prob just could be a app or the 'android system' ? Or even hardware ?

I dont have much time now, so any info or screenshot you want, I can provide later

Thanks

I've deleted the batterystats.bin and used until 0%, so charged while off, but nothing :C

It's true that the battery needs to 'learn' ? Like, a few charges and discharges and could estabilize ?

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrjraider:
Callibration of you battery eg: Wipe battery stats is onluy helpfull when you get weird battery stats.

If you are on any CyanogenMod ROM you have to get used to the higher ammount of battery use by the phone. The application Greenify can help a lot by hibernating the huge battery suckers like facebook and google maps.

Some tips:

- use 2G instead of 3G

- Turn WIFI off when you're outside the house or leaving for some time

- Turn GPS/Bluetooth on only when you're about to use it

- Dont use taskkillers (they are used to free up ram but killing apps makes android restarts them and this consumes extra juice)

- Put brightness on Auto

- Use a dark theme and background/lockscreenwallpaper

- Dont recharge your phone when below 5% this can damage the battery

- A new battery needs to "Get used to" the life of being a battery xD After a few recharging cycles it will work like normal

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Soryuu:
It looks like wifi and 3G have been kept on for most/all of the time. Turning those off while you're not using them may significantly increase battery life.

Also, related to kernels, personally I've found Mackay to be a bit better in terms of battery.

Also it looks like your screen's pretty bright if 61% of the battery usage is because of it. So if you don't need it so bright turning the brightness down may help.

Start by doing those, and see how your battery life fares first- if not much changes, then it may help getting a bettery battery/changing rom even.

And the brightness is at lowest bright :\

The problem could be some corrupted file ? I have the options:

- format EVERYTHING, and dont use titanium backup, since somthing can be corrupted.

- change my kernel to Mackay

- change my room back to SAUROM 2.3.6 adn semaphore kernel

I'm very sad cuz I have a very old Nokia E5 that can be on with wifi almost or more than 10hours ... and this phone can barely hold 5hour

What u suggest me to do ?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Soryuu:
How long have you been using the rom? Roms take time to calibrate the battery and this is through charge/discharge cycles.

Alternatively, go into Performance settings and change the profile to powersave/conservative (it differs from rom to rom). Lock the min CPU frequency to 200mHz- apparently this helps.

Again, this would change depending on your kernel.

And if you have a three year old battery like mine, best not to expect miracles...

Hey xda, I'm kind of in a bit of a bind because I use PDANet+ as well as a sprint htc evo 4g lte. One thing I have trouble finding on here is a rom that supports both the square card reader and is a cm release. I like how fast and simple the cm releases are and pdanet+ works like a charm when tethering however, when i use a sense rom I have to use the usb tethering option instead of wifi tethering. I'm not asking for someone to scour the internet for a rom that has these traits but here is what im looking for:

Handles the Square Card Reader
