Make sure the g is not capitalized and are you running live run? What is your output?

You may not need to run the grep command. that is just to verify you are open source. The repositories may already be in that mode. sudo nautilus in terminal is what you should be doing.. It'll open up a navigate window. nav to the phone directories and copy the files.

If you get errors before the nav window opens. Then you may be live run in which an inability to create directories exists. This is because Linux needs to be installed or the live run doesn't have that capability.

Once you have copied the files to the correct directory (in which you should refer to my previous posts where chmod privileges were set as congruently functional after successful push from Adb was executed) then you should be able to see those files you just copied in the distro on the root explorer of the phone in the same location.

I highly suggest that you enable/elevate you're distro to the highest su state before you go searching for phone directories. You can do this by verifying your open source repositories.

The soft reboot method could work as well, however I do see a lot of execute permissions on mount output.

Code:

sudo nautilus

Put the phone in download mode.

Once in download mode, connect the Android device using the microusb cable to the computer.

Now using the open Nautilus window, navigate to /UserData/local/tmp/ folder and verify that you have the files you sent to the device viz. su, busybox and Superuser.apk

Move/cut-paste su and busybox to /system/bin/ using Nautilus.

Move/cut-paste Superuser.apk to /system/app/ using Nautilus.

Power off the device.

Now simply turn on your device.

You should have root. Go into those directories within Root Explorer and verify they are there, When you see superuser.apk in /system/app, tap it to install it.

Then load back into Windows to access Adb and then...

Verify by running:

Code:

adb shell su

You'll note that the "$" prompt will turn into a "#" and you'll be prompted by a Superuser permission notification on your

device.
