are you rooted?
try:
Code:
adb shell "su -c 'cp /data/data/com.android.providers.settings/databases/settings.db /sdcard/'"
this will use su to copy it to the sdcard, then you should be able to pull it from there. Phone may pop up a "Superuser request". Be prepared to allow it.

when i type:
adb shell "su -c '/data/data/com.android.providers.settings/databases/settings.db /sdcard/'"
It says:
/data/data/com.android.providers.settings/databases/settings.db: permission denied
My Device is rooted, and i gave su permission

You forgot the "cp" between "su -c" and "/data/data/..."

C:\Users\ilendemli>adb shell "su -c '/data/data/com.android.providers.settings/databases/settings.db /sdcard/'"
/data/data/com.android.providers.settings/databases/settings.db: permission denied
C:\Users\Muhammet ilendemli>adb shell "su -c 'cp /data/data/com.android.provider
s.settings/databases/settings.db /sdcard/'"
cp: not found
My CMD Window, whats wrong?

Hum, that's strange.
Try this : (<Enter> means pressing the Enter key on your keyboard)
adb shell <Enter>
su <Enter> (here you may have to look at your phone to give him the autorisation it needs)
cp /data/data/com.android.providers.settings/databases/settings.db /sdcard/ <Enter>
If it says "cp: not found", try this line :
busybox cp /data/data/com.android.providers.settings/databases/settings.db /sdcard/ <Enter>

busybox: not found

Try to replace busybox by bb in the command I gave you.
If it doesn't work, well, I'll doubt you did your root well ^^ Cause it should have install BB
Can you explain us what you did to root your phone ?

I used SuperOneClick Root, to root my Phone. it installed the su files and superuser.apk nothing else
EdIT:
I installed busybox manually and rebootet my phone, now when i type:
>adb shell "busybox -c cp '/data/data/com.android.providers.settings/databases/settings.db /sdcard/'"
it says:
-c: applet not found
EDIT2:
>adb shell
$ busybox cp /data/data/com.android.providers.settings/databases/settings.db /sdcard/
busybox cp /data/data/com.android.providers.settings/databases/settings.db /sdcard/
cp: can't open '/data/data/com.android.providers.settings/databases/settings.db': Permission denied
$

That's normal, you missed the "su" command in your Edit 2.
So, 2 ways to do it.
Edit 1 version :
adb shell "su -c busybox cp '/data/data/com.android.providers.settings/databases/settings.db /sdcard/'"
Edit 2 version :
adb shell
su
busybox cp /data/data/com.android.providers.settings/databases/settings.db /sdcard/
And I thought SuperOneClick did install BB... Well, I thought wrong ^^

Edit 1 version: Didnt worked..
Edit 2 version: WORKED!? i have the database,
now, how can i give these command in java?
anything with exec("..

From adb, you can't execute Java methods (because you're not in a JVM).
And I don't think you can access the DB like that in fact.
You have to make an app that read/write/do what you want on the DB (and it seems you're doing so, refering to the other topic you made )

it's not allowed, to edit databases directly, so my app will copy the database somewhere else, edit it, and copy it back, then it should work.
€: and i don't want to edit databses from the adb, i cant do it, the program cant do it, but java can do it:
Code:
myDB.execSQL("DELETE FROM system WHERE name = 'name1';");
myDB.execSQL("DELETE FROM system WHERE name = 'name2';");
myDB.execSQL("INSERT INTO system (name, value) VALUES ('name1', '"+arr[0]+"');");
myDB.execSQL("INSERT INTO system (name, value) VALUES ('name2', '"+arr[1]+"');");

Yes it should.
Make sure you don't mess with the DB though. It's an easy thing to break
Edit : From adb, apparently you can do something like
sqlite3 settings.db
Then you'll have a DB prompt where you can write SQL commands like SELECT, INSERT, etc.

can busybox delete and replace files?

BB lets you use any Unix command.
So you can use (in your example) the mv command, which will move a file from a directory to another one.

Runtime.getRuntime().exec("busybox mv /sdcard/ /data/data/com.android.providers.settings/databases/settings.db");
this should work
E: Hmm, doesn't work..
E2: should look like this: Runtime.getRuntime().exec("busybox mv /sdcard/settings.db /data/data/com.android.providers.settings/databases/");
will try it.

Yes. But remember you have to be root to do that

[Q] just rooted the g2 but cant confirm it plz help

I have already have the clockrecovery mod recovery flashed and i have the app that says superuser permission...
But this is what error i am getting when i try to confirm that my -s is off so i can install the rom i want:
C:\Users\Tariq Khan\Desktop\g verify>adb shell
$ su
su
cd /data/Permission denied
$ cd /data/local
cd /data/cd /data/local
cd: bad substitution
$ cd /data/local
cd /data/local
$ chmod 777 gfree_verify
chmod 777 gfree_verify
$ stop ril-daemon
stop ril-daemon
$ ./gfree_verify
./gfree_verify
Error: could not open modem device: /dev/smd0
Error: verify could not initialize device!$

i got it figured out thanks guys so now i can flash the desire z rom directly right no need to do anything just rename it as update and apply it in recovery i have the g2 and i want the desire z rom so thats what i do right?

right you should have no problems

I had exactly the same problem. I think I rooted correctly. When I run TM and type su, it asks me allow such application to request superuser permissions.
but when I try to fun gfree_verify to confirm, I got above errors.
Please help, thanks

adb SU

Hi,
Just a little help for me please, I try to launch some adb command with SU
In my little head, I have think translate your code with the SU call before
Code:
adb shell uname -r
become
Code:
adb shell su uname -r
With the first command, all is good I have my answer, with the su first I have
Code:
Permission Denied
I have a DESIRE (bravo) rooted and S-OFF, what did I do wrong ?

The Linux su expects a user name as parameter, not a command. As far as I can see, the Android su simply ignores this parameter. If you want su to execute a command, use the -c option, like in
Code:
su -c uname -r
This causes su to execute "uname -r" as root, after that it returns immediately, so you're back at the user level you've been before. This might not be what you expect, but that's how it works.
Your permission error: Try a single su command, without any arguments or options. If it also returns a permission error, you're not rooted. It should ask you at the mobile's display for permission if you're rooted and you are doing that for the first time.

Thx U dude, U R the one

- Get visionary+
- Temproot your legend with it
- Use commandline with adb on your pc to flash misc1-2.img.
type the following commands from the folder where you have adb;
Code:
adb shell
su
accept the notification on your phone if one comes up
and then in the command line type this;
Code:
/data/local/flash_image misc /data/local/misc1-2.img
That should be enough to make it possible to run the 1.31 RUU.

same problem here..try many way as stated!!

Did you get the # symbol after the su command? If not, then you have to do temp root again.

What does ADB say? Do you have Debug Mode eneabled?

Hello everyone...
I have a Motorola RAZR 201M(XT902) in Japan and use Motofail2go to root it.But it doesn't work.
(follow http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=32889627)
I installed Sudoku.apk and push the motofail2go to the device(also su,Superuser.apk,busybox).
when
$ run-as com.motorola.bug2go /data/local/tmp/motofail2go prep2
Here is the error message:
"run-as: exec failed for /data/local/tmp/motofail2go Error: Operation not permitted"
and i try $ run-as com.motorola.bug2go
but error message : "run-as: exec failed"
Anyone help? Thanks...

Sorry buddy. Nothing works. We 201m users are SOL.

Have you tried this?
http://www.droidrzr.com/index.php/topic/15208-root-motochopper-yet-another-android-root-exploit/

Thanks Paul!
No luck with that either. Appreciate the feedback, however.

I hope somebody will study the XT902 root.

I really want this thing rooted. How do one go about figuring out how to root it? I assume because of it's lack of popularity, no one has done it, but I'm willing to do the grunt work if there's some sort of guide or assistance. I changed over to DoCoMo with the GS4 and now have this paperweight that I would want to actually use.
Thanks!

Can you tell me more about this step

Confirm?
Can confirm if the latest instructions have worked for your 201m?
That your rooted and bootloader unlock.
Thanks a bunch!

Boot loader is unlocked and CWM is installed. Initially I still
Had temp root so I flashed slim beans xt907 rom. It works. I'm unable to test data with it as I don't have a SoftBank sim. Also I still can't connect to the play store.

Thanks for the feedback.
Still awaiting more confirmation with others. It's a step forward though.
I've had my phone for almost a year now. If I cancel my softbank service or run the contract to the end I want an option to root and unlock the bootloader in the future.

could u provide more friendly filehost?
i can't find the download button there

Root! (temp root that is...)
I'm just posting to confirm I've rooted my 201m (xt902).
Props to sbeaber4!
From my limited knowledge since it's temp root if I restart my phone I lose root access...
Next step in the future unlock bootloader.
Peace y'all.

Found that if I a did restart my phone root was lost but I found a quick fix without going through the whole process again.
Just do these steps
unlock_security_module（temp root）
adb shell
[email protected]:/ $ cd /data/local/tmp/
[email protected]:/data/local/tmp $ ./unlock_security_module
Just enter those three steps then you're back to temp root
Also you can just to a quick reboot with link2sd or any other app that just reboots the android ui. You don't have to enter commands every time you reboot unless it's a full reboot.

Can someone help translate the kanji for rooting the 201M? Will rooting allow you to change the device location and prevent random all Japanese pop-up alerts/"are you sure" messages? Thanks for any help

Once CWM is online you might be able to flash a VZW or Aussie stock ROM. Actually, you could probably flash CM... That'll fix the Japanese popups. Of course, it also could very possibly brick it. Proper precautions must be made... On my tablet at the moment, does anyone know if sbf.droid-developers has 902 images?
