TR does not give me access to the data folder.. no root
[Moto X General] Dmiller2007:
Did you root using PIE?
[Moto X General] :
How are you trying to access it
[Moto X General] doitinthedirt:
yes but what good does this do if you have to be rooted with pie to use tr? it doesnt make sence to root with pie than run the command if youre already rooted with pie
[Moto X General] Dmiller2007:
I'm not sure if you were aware, but you lose root when you do a hard reboot with PIE. And without towelroot, this reboot would require tethering to a pc to gain root access again. If you're rooted with PIE, TR works for most people after a reboot. But only in a limited fashion. Running the script allows you to regain the root established with PIE. I'm thinking you're missing the point.... Not trying to be rude or anything.
[Moto X General] doitinthedirt:
Very fam with Pie.. but not tr, I cant get tr to work, ive been rooted with pie not rebooted ran tr and busybx annd reboot and no root.. tr right now im trying to find xposed and run it.. i cant figure out which xposed is xposed.. Pie is so simple
[Moto X General] :
Read the op and follow instructions. That is your problem. You just stated that you are not following the instructions whatsoever.
[Moto X General] doitinthedirt:
just got the code from chinaman... done with tr... hopefully unlocking the boot will be as simple as running slap and wipe or easier like using adb and rooting with Pie. this busybox and xposed just to get a simple root is nuts.
[Moto X General] chrisp6825:
Rooted previously with PIE a few times. Now after multiple reboots, I decided to run TR with the last digit changed to a 1.

File managers are still not able to browse the /data folder and su is not found.

Though I'm able to change directory to the PIE folder in data using a terminal. But executing the root.sh script changes nothing. I get expected output, but not the expected root permission or executable.

I'll post more in detail and screen shots later today.

[Moto X General] doitinthedirt:
I was able to get into the pie folder with terminal to and ran the root.sh command.. this is what i got
[Moto X General] chrisp6825:
You're generally not able to run a chmod command without root privileges, or browse the data folder.

You are, however, able to browse directly into /data/local/atvc :

PIE rooted, then full rebooted. attempted to gain su elevation, browse to atvc directory, execute root.sh :

Applied TowelRoot, including changing the temp switch :

Retried to gain su elevation, retry executing root.sh, retry su elevation :

Opening a shell through adb on a PC/host machine, and executing that exact same shell script (/data/local/atvc/root.sh), PIE roots as expected.

[Moto X General] doitinthedirt:
Not sure I understand.. what did you run the root.sh command from ? a host? or terminal from the same moto x?
[Moto X General] chrisp6825:
Terminal emulator on the same moto X.
[Moto X General] doitinthedirt:
well thats what i have been trying to achieve.. but im about at my limit on patience with tr. ive pied and ran tr changing to 41 and still nogo... no root.. two diff moto xs.. april and july build

I dont like adding junk tp my phone.. xposed... busybox.. whatever else these instructions say you have to do to get tr to root. I went with the asian boot unlock
[Moto X General] samwathegreat:
He was showing you that it (running the PIE root.sh after rooting with TR) -doesn't- work. It only works when connected to a PC and run through adb.

Glad you got unlocked...none of this is relevant for you anymore. Enjoy being unlocked!!
[Moto X General] chrisp6825:
Well, it's possible it might work for some. That's the thing, I and possibly others haven't been able to get TowelRoot to work as instructed in the opening post.

In my case, TR does nothing, other than kill an active root from PIE during the same boot instance. I can't manage to get any benefit from TR as of yet.

Not that what you stated was incorrect, that is what I was showing. I just want to clarify that this is an inconsistency that I or some others are experiencing. Outlining with the fact that I'm also not able to use TR to rerun the PIE exploit.

I'd also like to ask again, is there something I am missing in this procedure? I'm usually pretty competent with root exploits, this has been my first time to struggle getting an exploit working. Or are we chalking it up to inconsistencies elsewhere in the exploit as pointed out earlier? (iKrYpToNiTe's posts)

I'm curious if anyone attempted this? I haven't much hope, but curious non the less.

[Moto X General] doitinthedirt:
Good post Chris, Im more of a computer nerd than i like to brag about.. if i dont get something I will stick to it until I do.. but I've tried for a few days with two different motos and TR just won't do anything for my phone either one..
[Moto X General] samwathegreat:
That post was in reference to a user who is still on 4.4

It probably would work, but definitely not on 4.4.2 or up.
[Moto X General] :
For people having issues. Run pie once. Reboot and then use towelroot. Don't hotboot before running towelroot. Do a full reboot. Once you change the 0 to a 1 don't press anything else on the keyboard. Just hit "make it rain"
[Moto X General] doitinthedirt:
John, read the posts, your instructions fail, does NOT provide root for our phones, is it that difficult for you to understand?

Glad you found it. Just for future reference, you don't have to search individual sub-forums. In the top right-hand corner there is a box that says "Search All Forums". From here you can do a site-wide search. As I said earlier, typing "PIE root" in this box brings up the appropriate thread as first result.

i'd never used adb before last week, followed the instructions in the link below including downloading the java 7 sdk and then the android adb sdk and everything worked fine very simple http://www.howtogeek.com/125769/how-...ridge-utility/

I was also rooting a veri$on locked boot X on 4.4.2 and successfully Pied it twice.. easy like eating cake or pie

And I just disregarded the output... I copied and pasted each of the four comands from the OP and after the fourth I ran fx file explorer and was golden.. my outputs were not the same as jc has in the OP

you must download java sdk 7, the newer one 8 listed first DONT work

and when you reroot with Pie you only need to run the last two commands.. the pushed files stay on the moto x
[Moto X General] :
It works, just not for people that cant follow SIMPLE INSTRUCTIONS. I posted a video of it working and plenty other people that CAN READ have got it to work.

jpond83, I appreciate your attempts at clearing these instructions up and helping. But I can't kick the feeling that you're missing something here as well.
[Moto X General] :
1) install pie root

2) fully reboot phone

3) open towelroot

4) click welcome to towelroot v3. Three time.

5) change the last 0 to 1 ( make sure you are not adding a space after doing so)

6) click "make it rain"

7) when its done close it

8) open exposed installer

9) click on framework then install/update

10) when prompted click cancel and close exposed

11) open busybox installer and click install. Once finished close it.

12) open power menu and click hot reboot.

Let me know where so I don't board that plane.
[Moto X General] chrisp6825:
Alright. But I suppose you're insinuating that if I get these screens during that process, I'm following the instructions incorrectly?

If so, please try to exaggerate more on the instructions, as I'm trying to follow your every letter. Thanks.
[Moto X General] :
Did you start from step one just now. If done improperly before you will have to install pie again.
[Moto X General] samwathegreat:
Just out of curiousity, does anyone who CAN'T use the towel root method have any kind of antivirus software installed? As I understand, the exploit used by towel root is actively blocked by antivirus apps.

This is just a suggestion, as again, I don't use these methods (unlocked). I'm just interested in getting to the bottom of why it works for some and not others. :confused:

Also, anyone who can't get it to work, have you tried flashing back to 100% stock and then repeating the steps to see if it works on a fresh install?
[Moto X General] chrisp6825:
Yes, I always start with a full reboot. Then PIE root, full reboot, then TowelRoot; all as instructed before.

This is easy to tell in my case, since I stated before that running TR during the same boot instance, it kills my PIE root.

Not here. I'd factory reset my phone before trying this is I felt it would make a difference. I may try this later anyways, since I can use TitaniumBackup with PIE. Though, I don't feel this would change the situation at all, personally. If I do this, I'll definitely post the procedure and results.
[Moto X General] doitinthedirt:
Follow the damn directions!! If you would just follow the simple directions you could get it right... LOL :) That guy will go far with that attitude. Chris I sent the Chinaman 45 bucks.. I have a july 2nd build date moto x.. not sure if he has the codes for july phones but I will post it if he comes through with a good code. In the meantime Pie works flawlessly for me.

---------- Post added at 09:28 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:55 PM ----------

I see another potential reason this may be causing issues. See geohot's Modstrings page here: https://towelroot.com/modstrings.html

Notice that by changing the last value to 1, according to this documentation, it places su and daemonsu in /sbin

According to your photos, you are attempting to run su from /system/bin

Its a long-shot and in all likelihood probably won't work, but try changing directories to /sbin before you attempt to run 'su' after using towel root...

EDIT: This is unlikely to work. I have checked the file init.environ.rc, and the PATH is already set to: /sbin:/vendor/bin:/system/sbin:/system/bin:/system/xbin

For whatever reason.....towelroot doesn't appear to be putting the appropriate su and daemonsu files in the /sbin folder. You might check with with Root Browser, or use terminal to change directories, and "ls -l".

If su and/or daemonsu ARE in there, perhaps the properties aren't set to executable?

In the case of us who are unlocked, both su and daemonsu are located in /system/xbin
[Moto X General] chrisp6825:
No no, don't be fooled. That is showing that the command sh is being launched from /system/bin/sh.

I like your thinking, but you missed that. I'll detail more and reread your post in a bit.

tapa'd on my moto x
[Moto X General] samwathegreat:
Right you are...I see it now. After running towelroot, could you check and see if it does put su and daemonsu anywhere, and if so, what are the properties? My guess is it isn't actually writing the files, or jcase's PIE is overlaying another partition over /sbin and causing the files to not be written. This is speculation because I'm not doing any actual testing and just going off of memory and not actually looking up the specifics on PIE. IIRC, it involves some kind of overlay...
[Moto X General] samwathegreat:
Thanks, [MENTION=1637011]chrisp6825[/MENTION] !

I notice both su and daemonsu are correctly marked as executable once PIE was used.

OK, now could someone who has actually gotten Towelroot to work, to do a similar experiment? Since according to geohot's documentation, su and daemonsu are supposed to be placed in /sbin, could one of you guys do "ls -la" from within your /sbin directory?

How about [MENTION=2831641]jpond83[/MENTION] ? You game?

Another idea! Could one of these people who HAVE gotten towelroot to work could try executing the PIE root.sh and afterwards, elevate to su, and type 'id'

I'm interested to see if the context changes from "Untrusted App" (towelroot su context) to "Kernel" (the su context PIE runs at). This would indicate that the PIE root.sh was successfully executed as su after running Towelroot.

Is there any way to enable LTE on Orange on P605? I have bussines everywhere card and I am in the range of LTE network, but when I've inserted card to my sexy P605 it only shows HSDPA network. I have contacted Samsung helpdesk and they told me that this Tablet was released when Orange was not a LTE provider so I must wait for an update od Note's software to be able to use LTE.

Finaly...

Maybe there is a way to modify some configuration file to tell my Note that Orange is LTE ready? Best way would be not to root my Note :S

If you know which file should I edit or what actions must I do I would be gratful.

I am doing just fine with my moto x.I unlocked its bootloader and flashed supersu to gain root access.I am using xposed with gravity box and have no complaints whatsoever.I am Just taking a second opinion and would like to know how to flash a stock rom. I ahve downloaded the stock rom of my device and have extracted it.How do I flash it via the SDK ? Since I am rooted , do I just flash the recovery after unrooting ( from the app ) or do I flash the whole rom ? I just want to be sure so that incase anything goes wrong I know how to recover.Thanks for your time.

Cheers
[Moto X Q&A] NWKENT:
Sir..you never need to "unroot".. the easiest way to flash the stock ROM is with RSDLite..but one can certainly use adb also..when you flash the stock ROM..the current recovery on the device will be overwritten back to the stock recovery..then flash TWRP or the other recovery, install SuperSU zip from your storage in TWRP..when you boot the device, it'd be rooted then..but you can gain root only with a custom recovery like TWRP..stock recovery will not work to gain root..if you wish the leave stock recovery, then a root exploit would be required..(if one is available)..

I hope your question has been answered..

If you have the SBF file which matches the rom version on your phone, then there are several ways to flash stock....

See -> http://mark.cdmaforums.com/MotoX-ReturnToStock.html that explains several ways to get back to stock.

Option 2 being the quickest way depending on the mods to your phone and what you are looking to do. Option 5 is the way to flash the full rom and get back to stock via command line using mFastboot.

Also for the theme switching ro.device.product=REL to L will switch the open app animation, Google app drawer launcher, and long press home icons I have really liked.

None of the boot animations seem to work even with our resolution.

Also the ro.device.product fix takes a way translucent bars away as well as breaks gmail unless you uninstall and reinstall it.

I am sorry if I am repeating a post or even breaking any rules. I'm new here, I tried to use the search options but perhaps I wasn't getting the Keywords right as I used "XMD Root" and "Root" but I didn't get a method that would be noob-friendly and for the latest firmware.

1. Can you guys tell me what method (Perhaps link me?) should I use to fully root my XMD C2005 firmware: 15.5.A.1.5 without unlocking the bootloader.

2. What is the best method for Deodexing my phone? I saw a tutorial by Paper13579 Click Here. Is this the best method for C2005?

3. Will rooting my phone void my warranty? Cause I've seen on many websites that for Sony phones, rooting does not void warranty but unlocking the bootloader does while some other websites said just rooting voids warranty.

I have a gear live from io2014.

I've paired it with a galaxy tab 10.1 (p4wifi) running 4.4.4.

After a couple days I'm noticing the bluetooth between the tablet and the watch is "not connected".

I can toggle the watch connection on the tablet gear app, and the gear app will try to reconnect to the watch but fail.

(The gear app on the tablet/phone does an exponential back off which I think is odd cuz it will end up waiting a long time to reconnect if it fails a few times.)

In order to get it to reconnect I have to reboot the watch. Annoying.

Anyone see this? Maybe its an issue with the tablet?

I have weird issues with mine and my Nexus 5. The watch and the app will both think they are connected but then sometimes I go to do something and it doesn't work. When this happens, timeouts inevitably occur and either the watch or the app realize somethings not connected right and will sit there and try to reconnect to no avail. The only thing that gets the connection back again is to flip the bluetooth on my phone off and back on again. This happens several times a day for me.

I suspect bluetooth problems on my Nexus 5 though because I had the same problem with my Pebble before I got the Gear Live at I/O.
