[Q] Got root via adb, how do I make it permanent?

Code below works as far as getting root via adb
But after reboot I get following error:
Code:
? su
link_image[1717]: 2977 missing essential tablesCANNOT LINK EXECUTABLE
Do you know what's missing here?
Code:
./adblinux push psneuter /data/local/tmp
./adblinux push su-v3 /data/local/tmp
./adblinux push busybox /data/local/tmp
./adblinux shell chmod +x /data/local/tmp/psneuter
./adblinux shell chmod +x /data/local/tmp/su-v3
./adblinux shell
$ /data/local/tmp/psneuter
# exit
./adblinux shell
# cat /proc/mounts
# mount -o rw,remount -t yaffs2 /dev/stl5 /system
# busybox cp -vaf /data/local/tmp/su-v3 /system/xbin/su
# ls -l /system/xbin/su
# busybox chown 0.2000 /system/xbin/su
# busybox chmod 06755 /system/xbin/su
# ls -l /system/xbin/su
# rm /system/bin/su
# busybox ln -s /system/xbin/su /system/bin/su
# ls -l /system/bin/su
# busybox cp -f /data/local/tmp/busybox /system/xbin
# busybox chown 0.2000 /system/xbin/busybox
# busybox chmod 0755 /system/xbin/busybox
# ls -l /system/xbin/busybox
# exit
./adblinux install -r Superuser.apk
./adblinux reboot

Hi,
I am new here, but advanced linux user
I have already done this succesfully on my X10i - thanks 1st working howto on linux OS
Theres propably mistake with these steps:
./adblinux shell chmod +x /data/local/tmp/psneuter
./adblinux shell chmod +x /data/local/tmp/su-v3
In my case these commands left errors. They have to simply mark these binaries as executable. But chmod +x * doesnt work (dont ask why ) - so I marked them as executables (su,psneuter,busybox) in desktop linux os before transfer and it worked.
The next mistake is in the line:
busybox cp -vaf /data/local/tmp/su-v3 /system/xbin/su
Because busybox is not yet in the system path - so you have to type:
# /data/local/tmp/busybox cp -vaf /data/local/tmp/su-v3 /system/xbin/su
Until
# /data/local/busybox cp -f /data/local/tmp/busybox /system/xbin
You can use busybox directly.

chmod +x doesn't work on android, you have to use chmod 777 or 666 or the like to get it to work properly.

Or do it on linux GUI and mark as executable before transfer to Android device

[How to] Root Motorola Atrix with terminal

Maybe I'm the only one but this is the method I prefer to use to root my phone. I'm not always sure which OS I'll be working with when I have to do this and this one works on all of them as long as you have the Android SDK.
Put the files into your platform-tools folder to make them easy to find.
Not sure if I need this but I'm not responsible for bricks or any other complication, etc, etc.
adb push psneuter /data/local/tmp
adb push bin/su /data/local/tmp
adb shell chmod 6755 /data/local/tmp/psneuter
$ ./data/local/tmp/psneuter
adb shell
# mount -o rw, remount /dev/block/mmcblk0p12 /system
# rm /data/local/tmp/su /system/bin/su
#chmod 6755 /system/bin/su
exit

really? psneuter only works for 1.26 froyo

I used this method on 1.83 when I first got the phone. Might need to look back into this. Someone asked about this method so I posted it.

[TUTORIAL]How to manual root official 2.3

I always have problems to root official 2.3 with automatic ways, and found that this caused from some adb miscommunication.
So this is how to do it manual, in case automatic ways stacked.
First install adb-sdk and add its path to system variables, so to don't have to go to adb' s path before you can run it.
Then download doomlord' s rooting tool and extract it to drive C:\DoomLordRoot.v3.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=784296&stc=1&d=1321435888
Preparation steps on device:
1) Dial: *#*#2846579#*#*
2) Go to projectmenu > background settings > log settings > log switch > set Log on
3) Reboot Phone
4) Switch USB Debugging ON
5) uncheck fast boot from settings -> applications

Open windows command prompt window and do the above:
Code:
adb push c:\DoomLordRoot.v3\files\zergRush /data/local/tmp/
[COLOR="DarkSlateBlue"]adb shell[/COLOR]
chmod 777 /data/local/tmp/zergRush
./data/local/tmp/zergRush
[COLOR="DarkSlateBlue"]Hit CTRL+C to exit from adb shell[/COLOR]
adb push c:\DoomLordRoot.v3\files\busybox /data/local/tmp/
[COLOR="DarkSlateBlue"]adb shell[/COLOR]
su
chmod 755 /data/local/tmp/busybox
/data/local/tmp/busybox mount -o remount,rw /system
dd if=/data/local/tmp/busybox of=/system/xbin/busybox
chown root.shell /system/xbin/busybox
chmod 04755 /system/xbin/busybox
/system/xbin/busybox --install -s /system/xbin
rm -r /data/local/tmp/busybox
[COLOR="DarkSlateBlue"]Hit CTRL+C to exit again from adb shell[/COLOR]
adb push c:\DoomLordRoot.v3\files\su /system/bin/su
[COLOR="DarkSlateBlue"]adb shell[/COLOR]
su
chown root.shell /system/bin/su
chmod 06755 /system/bin/su
rm /system/xbin/su
ln -s /system/bin/su /system/xbin/su
[COLOR="DarkSlateBlue"]Hit CTRL+C to exit once more from adb shell[/COLOR]
adb push c:\DoomLordRoot.v3\files\Superuser.apk /system/app/
[COLOR="DarkSlateBlue"]adb shell[/COLOR]
su
cd /data/local/tmp/
rm *
reboot
This is basic what the runme.bat file does, just some paths corrected to point to the right locations.

I have the latest official gingerbread (I think v3) and have been trying to root with no luck. I've gone through the steps here but when try to get root access (su), it gives me permission denied...
Any ideas?

Oneclickroot v2. 2 did the work for me or something like this

This probably means that rooting failed.
What messages you get when you run zergrush?

I got messages for sending 149, then 189 zerglings, then messages about not being able to mount, find or write to directories.
It seems like it wasn't able to get root access to be able to run its process.
In any case, I just downgraded to the previous release and then used ZergRush, which worked perfectly

don't work.

try this, it works for my B528 rom!

[GUIDE] Root Nexus-S 4.0.3 stock firmware without BL unlock

Thanks to nice Kernel exploid found by zx2c4 http://blog.zx2c4.com/749 and sauriks mempodroid https://github.com/saurik/mempodroid its now very easy to root the nexus-s 4.0.3 firmware without unlooking the BL.
You can just follow this howto http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1461736 but with this offsets kindly provided by saurik: 0xd7cc 0xad27
If you need a clockworkmod just download rom manager from the market and klick install clock work mod.
have fun

Thanks derpeter, I am looking for the related topic for several days!!!
Will try it later, thanks!!!

thank u dear <3

Worked great! Thanks!

Tested and works. Now running stock OTA rooted ICS.

Checked out the link. Though it stated that it is in the transformer prime thread, the adb commands are still the exact same for nexus s?

Yes the same process works you just have to replace the offsets as it says in the first post.
So the process for the Nexus S would be as follows...
Downloads:
mempodroid
su binary
adb push mempodroid /data/local
adb push su /data/local
adb shell
chmod 777 /data/local/mempodroid
/data/local/mempodroid 0xd7cc 0xad27 sh
** You should now be in a remote shell session with root (indicated by #)
mount -o remount,rw -t ext4 /dev/block/mmcblk0p1 /system
** IF you have previously rooted your Android, run the following two commands. They may throw an error that the file a file was not found.
rm /system/bin/su
rm /system/xbin/su
cat /data/local/su > /system/xbin/su
chown 0.0 /system/xbin/su
chmod 06755 /system/xbin/su
rm /data/local/mempodroid
rm /data/local/su
exit
exit
adb reboot

Doesn't work for me. And it's annoying. These are the comands. I had done something bad?

I also had trouble following the guide, but then discovered this script, which made the whole process completely automatic.
I'm running stock ICS on i9023.

The script doesn't work for me. I tried it even in Linux. I have stock ics 4.0.3

I saw that, (#), but I don't have root privileges in any application. That's my problem.

I am not an expert in Android but I think to gain access to app as root would have to go via su app did u try superuser app? I would try it myself but my phone is already rooted via clock mod

I was right mate I just read how to . U haven't got superuser installed obviously. Download from the market and should work.

It worked great guys, thanks to the dev's

I installed superuser and it's works. Thanks guys.

FYI, this no longer works in 4.0.4. Found out the hard way when I forgot to re-enable the save root option in SuperSU after a nandroid.

The guide works perfectly. I have upgraded my I9020T to 4.0.4 from a AWS 4.0.3 WITHOUT wiping data! Thanks so much!

[Q] Running shell scripts on Defy+

I'm trying to automate some things I do after upgrading nightlies using a shell script. The system seems to execute the shell script (shows messages informing granting of root privileges and successful completion of the script), but the script does not seem to run, ie the changes do not occur. Here's the script if it's of any help :
Code:
#!/system/bin/mksh
# Gain root access
su -
# Replace baseband
rm /system/etc/motorola/bp_nvm_default/*
cp /mnt/sdcard/Download/bp_nvm_default/* /system/etc/motorola/bp_nvm_default/
chown root:root /system/etc/motorola/bp_nvm_default/*
chmod 644 /system/etc/motorola/bp_nvm_default/*
# Make Apex Launcher system app
cp /mnt/sdcard/Download/ApexLauncher.apk /system/app/
chown root:root /system/app/ApexLauncher.apk
chmod 644 /system/app/ApexLauncher.apk
# Move Marimba ringtone to phone
cp /mnt/sdcard/Download/Marimba.ogg /system/media/audio/ringtones/
chown root:root /system/media/audio/ringtones/Marimba.ogg
chmod 644 /system/media/audio/ringtones/Marimba.ogg

I'm amazed there are no replies to this thread.
No one ever tried running a shell script on their rooted phone?

What did you tried to run the script??, use the terminal or the SManager.

SManager works fine to me
