[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] ANDjROID:
ok. i have 2 questions i guess. the first being, will this (method_1) work on android 6.0.1. and can it be done from linux without the use of ANY windows? my windows system died somehow and i can now only get my linux mint to boot. (which is strange because windows is what came on my laptop. i installed linux on seperate partition.) if not, is there a newer method for 6.0 that can be done on linux alone? if so, could you please point me towards it.

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] bobbyp1086:
So even if there is no exploit and no root on your device this will work? I'm lost as to why people pay so much if its this easy.

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] LilAnt530:
No absolutely not..... But a good majority of the ones that didn't take to KingRoot or KingoRoot one-click methods between Android 4.1 & 5.0 will usually work with this exploit....
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] bobbyp1086:
That's exactly what I needed to know thank you
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] LilAnt530:
No problem anytime :D.

If you do need help rooting a device if I'm familiar with it always happy to help lol. In my opinion this method seems to work really well on phones that are still on lower OS versions but otherwise seem "Locked Down" like all the prepays coming out lately :eek:

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] LilAnt530:
Ohhhhh yea!!!! find the TWRP package & flash the CFauto with TWRP. Lol i forgot Samsungs don't allow rooting through ODI

Edit; but if TWRP is available then it's flashable with ODIN, turn auto-reset Time to off :)

Just follow the first method. It must work

---------- Post added at 05:26 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:11 PM ----------

Folks, follow the first method.

It must work for all devices.

But just recheck the requirements:

1)ADB and Fastboot drivers installed.

2)Rootkit by Nityam Amarshe. You can download it from the attachment.

Now also read and follow my special steps to guarantee success.

1)First download and extract Rootkit. Press Shift+Right Click and select Open CMD window here to open CMD.

2)Open Device Manager and enable USB debugging on device.

3)In device manager an Android ADB Interface option will appear. Now follow the steps as above.

I tried the 2 manual methods, and I cannot see anything about the phone's files in nautilus with the first method.

With the psneuter script I have the error "mmap() failed. Invalid argument".

I tried a lot of apps (rootkhp, kingoroot, 4root, iroot, ...) without success : google protect won't let me install some apps, the other apps don't work.

trying to root my Alcatel A3 XL Nougat

oh it was all going swimmingly well until I came to the

"8.Done ? Now You need to open a copy of linux which has nautilus... So enter your linux (I recommend using ubuntu 11.4) and type in the terminal (ctrl+alt+T)

Code:

->sudo nautilus"

Now I am out of depth with it , I cannot understand linux and how it works. I opened up a terminal and typed in sudo nautilus and nothing happened.

"Having your ADV connected with USB to PC switch it off and put it in download/recovery mode... "

Well I tried vol down and power button together and couldnt get into download/recovery mode on my Alcatel A3 XL - so I just had to do the vol up and power button and go into recovery mode and then choose "reboot to bootloader" (is that the same as download/recovery mode?) and then phone started with the tiny words "Fastboot Mode"

Connected it to the linux with the terminal open ... and thats where I am stuck. It dont look like linux recognises the phone

Can anyone help from here please. I have all the superuser.apk and su and busybox stored in the tmp folder of the phone I reckon (they pushed by adb fine) so I reckon now all I have to try and find a way to move them from tmp folder to their correct places into system/bin and system/app places respectively.

Hello !

I own an ADV device made with an MTK 6735M SOC.

I've tried both of your method to no avail.

The first one use a 32 bit "su" binary alas my phone is 64 bits. Add to this that I can't see the "system" directory in the Root nautilus so can't copy the binaries to the system/bin directory.

The messages I get are :

shell@Three_Proofings_W5:/data/local/tmp $ ls

Superuser.apk

busybox

psneuter

su

shell@Three_Proofings_W5:/data/local/tmp $ ./su

CANNOT LINK EXECUTABLE: "/system/lib/libc++.so" is 32-bit instead of 64-bit

page record for 0x7f7f6c4010 was not found (block_size=64)

1|shell@Three_Proofings_W5:/data/local/tmp $

And the second method does not work either because I get these messages (perhaps the exploit has been covered or the binary is not 64 bits, either ?) :

oot@espineux:/home/georges# adb shell

shell@Three_Proofings_W5:/ $ cd /data/local/tmp

shell@Three_Proofings_W5:/data/local/tmp $ ls

Superuser.apk

busybox

psneuter

su

shell@Three_Proofings_W5:/data/local/tmp $ chmod 777 psneuter

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Abuhuraira007:
Hello.

I am trying to use a rooted Android device, using Terminal Emulator, to manually root another Android device, which is stuck in a bootloop, so that I can get it out of the bootloop. Both devices are running Android 4.2.2 JellyBean.

Because the target device is stuck in a bootloop, I cannot root it using a root app such as KingoRoot, Kingroot, or similar apps. Thus, I can only root it manually using adb. Thus, I cannot use Method #3.

I see where you wrote that this thread is obsolete and to try method #3, but because the device i am trying to root is running Android 4.2.2, it shouldn't be obsolete for that device.

I have tried both Methods #1 and #2, but i have encountered an obstacle on each.

Method #1:

Although your thread states that Method #1 is obsolete, the device I am attempting to root is running Android 4.2.2, so it might not be obsolete for this device.

Every step works until I get to Step #8:

sudo nautilus

I get the error message:

/system/bin/sh: sudo: not found

I don't have access to a PC.

I am trying to use a rooted Android device, using Terminal Emulator. Is there another step or substitute I can use in place of "sudo nautilus"?

If so, it seems that if i can get Step #8 to work, i should then be able to get Steps #9 and #10 to work.

Method #2:

Everything works until I get to the line:

./psneuter

I get the following response:

Failed to set prot mask (Inappropriate ioctl for device)

I have read the thread, and I see where others have previously received this error message, but I don't see where anyone posted how to fix or address this problem.

Any assistance with getting either Methods #1 or #2, or both, to work would be greatly appreciated.
