I am having a bit of difficulty rooting my g2. I am not sure if its related to my os or not but i can not get it to work.
I have followed this and tried it all kinds of different ways.
addictivetips.com/mobile/what-is-adb-and-how-to-install-it-android/[/url]
I can get to my run command after doing all of that and it shows my serial number after typing adb devices but after that i can't enter any info in the sdk run command promt.
I have not been able to gain temp root yet because it won't let me enter the commands. I went to try to re-install java/sdk manager yet again and now it says java is not in the right path.
Any help?
If you're having troubles with ADB, why use it? You don't need ADB anymore to root the G2. It can all be done by placing the files on the SD card and running Terminal Emulator on the phone. You can run any of the prompts from ADB in the phone instead. I rooted my first G2 this way. It took some getting used to coming from a phone with a 1-click root, but it wasn't hard.
Check the Wiki, pretty sure it outlines this method as well.

Yep let me grab a link for you (theres actually a video tutorial I wanna try and find). But basically instead of using ADB to push the files to the correct location, you just have to manually put the files in the right locations on the SDcard, which is where ADB pushes them anyways.
K so I followed this method: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tU9zn_BEth4
The files he refers to are in this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=833965
Now different people have had different issues with this. I personally had some issues where it tells you to run #sync, because my perm root wouldn't stick properly after reboot. If this doesn't work properly, I'm sure someone can help you with your drivers to get ADB working.
I should also say that you don't necessarily have to do this method with the initial temp root via visionary, you can simply do the one outlined in the Wiki for rooting (aka http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=834228 ), but just place the files manually and run the commands in terminal emulator.
If you got the adb devices command to work you are actually in good shape. You are supposed to enter all of the commands from what you are calling the "run command" prompt anyway (the one you used for adb devices).

Unfortunately this won't work (if you don't want to use ADB, Visionary must be used to get temp root). ADB is needed in order to push the files directly to the phone. If you try copying the files to the SD card first, you won't have the correct permissions to copy the files to the phone in Terminal. You are also not allowed to execute programs directly from the SD card (mounted as noexec), so you can't try to obtain temp root from there. If you want to use the gfree method of rooting without using ADB, I made a guide using Visionary for the temp root here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=928160.
But the OP actually has ADB working, so he should be able to use any of the guides.
This is the error i get now if i try to enter anything in the sdk manager run prompt box. Is there some place else i should be entering the commands?

You are supposed to be using the regular command prompt (I think you referred to it as the "run command prompt" earlier). It is the prompt in which you successfully ran the "adb devices" command. That is the only prompt you need to use.
Do i enter commands 1 at a time or all at once?

First off, Yes you enter each line as you see it.
Second just to make sure you are in the right area to enter these commands, to get to command prompt you can either search for it from the start menu or hold the "windows button + R".
That opens your run command from there type in "cmd" and that opens command prompt.
Next make sure your current directory is the one you installed adb into. To get to that you can type "cd C:/...... whatever folder you installed it to."
To make sure my adb is working I usually type "adb devices" and see if my phone shows up.
Good luck
Glad to see someone else from the good ole 901 around here =)

Okay does anyone have a better guide to rooting?
I got all the way to pushing all the files on the sd card and running the terminal emulator where it shows forked children, reboots the terminal emulator and then i can not enter /data/local/gfree -f

try pushing the file to that folder again
Re-Tried everything at least 3 times, including pushing the files that didn't go.
I give up Ive spent so much time on this only to have it fail at the most unlikely times.
Will wait for another method to root come available
You could try downloading and installing Droid Explorer. It installs adb and fastboot files in its install folder.
Are you sure you actually pushed all of the needed files to your phone correctly (i.e., no errors appeared when doing so)? Which guide are you following and what were the specific errors you are getting? Once you have temp root, running gfree and obtaining permanent root only takes a few more minutes...
Also, did you try any other guides (like the one I linked to earlier)? If you are waiting for a new method of rooting, you might be waiting for a while (since the existing methods work, I don't know how actively people are working on new methods).

You are supposed to do that command from your computer. (The instructions state "On the computer, open terminal and type the following commands".) Here, terminal means the command prompt that you've been running all of you other ADB commands from.
If you wanted to run the command from terminal on your phone, you would just type "chmod 777 /data/local/gfree".
You don't need ADB for G2s.

These are my notes and guide for rooting the Kindle with 6.2.1 firmware. If I left something out, or something is not working, please leave a comment and I'll try to update.
Credit goes to JCase for the root. Please consider making a donation to him here:
https://market.android.com/details?id=net.andirc.jcasedonate
Original procedure is here:
http://www.androidpolice.com/2011/1...on-kindle-regardless-of-its-software-version/
ADB INSTALL AND TEST - Method 1 (skip to the ROOT INSTALL section if you already have a working ADB)
NOTE: ADB = Android Debug Bridge. It is a command line interface to the android device. A working ADB is required before you can root your Kindle. ADB is installed on a PC and accesses the Kindle via USB cable.
Install Java SE Development Kit 7 on PC
The Android SDK Manager requires Java SDK
http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/jdk-7u1-download-513651.html
Install Android SDK Manager on PC
The Android SDK has the drivers and ADB needed to perform the root procedure
http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html
Uncheck Android 4.0
Check 2.33
Ensure Google USB Driver is checked
Install to c:\android to make typing easier later on
NOTE: The install can take a long time!
Manually update files so drivers will properly install
Open c:\users\your account name\.android\adb_usb.ini (or c:\documents and settings... if you have XP) and add the following
Code:
0x1949
Open c:\android\extras\google\usb_driver\android_winusb.inf and make additions as shown:
Code:
[Google.NTx86]
;Kindle Fire
%SingleAdbInterface% = USB_Install, USB\VID_1949&PID_0006
%CompositeAdbInterface% = USB_Install, USB\VID_1949&PID_0006&MI_01
....
[Google.NTamd64]
;Kindle Fire
%SingleAdbInterface% = USB_Install, USB\VID_1949&PID_0006
%CompositeAdbInterface% = USB_Install, USB\VID_1949&PID_0006&MI_01
Install drivers
Find the Kindle device in device manager and update drivers. Point to the location with android_winusb .inf
Verify ADB works
Open a command prompt
CD to c:\android\platform-tools
Code:
adb kill-server
adb devices
If it's working, ADB will return a large number, like this:
Code:
312342134231342 device
ADB INSTALL AND TEST - Method 2
NOTE: I have not tried this, but Vashypooh's app can apparently handle the driver install, and run ADB without installing the above software. If all of this works, then his app would be the best way IMO.
NOTE 2: I've seen a lot of comments suggesting the driver install in Vashypooh's app doesn't work at this point.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1399889
ROOT INSTALL - Method 1
Install JCase's kindleroot_androidpolice.apk
JCase's app gives ADB root access. Once this is done, you still need to install the superuser app
Download kindleroot_androidpolice.apk to PC
http://www.multiupload.com/VNZ6Y41EQF
Ensure the Kindle is connected via USB, and copy file to Kindle sdcard
Using ES File Explorer on Kindle, navigate to the kindleroot_androidpolice.apk and launch
Follow prompts and click root
Install superuser app
Download superuser-2 to PC
http://www.multiupload.com/M2CX14W7Y0
Unzip to c:\download\sufiles
Use ADB to install SU app
Code:
adb root
adb remount
adb push c:\download\sufiles\su /system/xbin/su
adb shell chown 0.0 /system/xbin/su
adb shell chmod 06755 /system/xbin/su
adb install c:\download\sufiles\Superuser.apk
adb reboot
ROOT INSTALL - Method 2
NOTE: I have not tried this, but Vashypooh's app can apparently handle the root process.
BurritoRoot (Temporary)
Install Permanent Root with Superuser

Thanks to you for the root. I hope the guide will help those trying to root!
Thanks for the clear and easy steps.
Great guide Ectoplasmic!
One thing I would add though, in step 5 "Verify ADB Works", before you use the "adb devices" command, you need to type "adb kill-server". If you don't type in "adb kill-server" first, the device won't show up when you use the "adb devices" command. Or at least it didn't for me.
Otherwise, everything worked FLAWLESSLY. I verified I was rooted using Root Checker. Thank you!

Unroot in my app (BurritoRoot) does not remove su, it just turns off adb root (which is what my app turns on) sorry for the confusion.
Will add in the future when I release burritomod
Here's the equivalent instructions for Mac
I am pretty new myself, but I'm happy to share what I've come up with so far. I am on a Mac OS X 10.6.8
Download the Android SDK for Mac (dl.google.com/android/android-sdk_r16-macosx.zip), the easiest place to put it is at the top of your user directory, from the browser download window chose your username from places on the left side, then name the zip "Android"
Next from Finder, navigate to the place where you downloaded the SDK, and double-click on it which should unzip it and create a folder of the same name e.g "Android". Open that and inside it will be a folder "tools", and inside that there will be a file "android". Double-click that to run it and the "Android SDK Manager" program window will pop up, you will also see a Terminal window in the background, don't worry about that. Uncheck all the boxes, then check "Android SDK Platform-tools" which should be the third from the top, and click install. This gets you the actual "dab" program.
Once adb is setup, to get it to recognize your kindle fire on your mac, you may need to make an entry in a config file if you haven't already.
Start Terminal Applications > Utilities > Terminal or if you are used to using spotlight, simply type in "Terminal". (here's an intro to using Terminal guides.macrumors.com/Terminal) and navigate to the directory where you have adb, e.g. if you placed it at the top of your user directory that would be
Code:
cd Android
or if you left it in the default downloads directory it would be
Code:
cd Downloads/android-sdk-macosx/
then enter the following commands
Code:
mkdir ~/.android
You may get the following error
Code:
mkdir: /Users/<username>/.android: File exists
If so, that is fine, continue to the next step
Code:
touch ~/.android/adb_usb.ini
open -e ~/.android/adb_usb.ini
TextEdit will open with that file open, you should have an entry in it on a single line that says
Code:
0x1949
if not, copy that in, then save and close it, then
Code:
./adb kill-server
Connect your kindle to the mac if it isn't already, then
Code:
./adb devices
You should see a message like
Code:
List of devices attached
2ED6000600000001 device
On your kindle, make sure you have a file navigation app, the example above ES FileExplorer is excellent and is the one I use from Amazon app store
Download Burrito Root from Android Police ( androidpolice.com/2011/12/23/exclusive-how-to-easily-root-the-amazon-kindle-regardless-of-its-software-version/)
Also download the Superuser.zip from the same page (multiupload.com/ONH28CB1GU) and unzip, then make sure you move the contents "su" and "Superuser.apk" into the same directory as adb
Through Finder copy the "kindleroot_androidpolice.apk" file you downloaded earlier to your kindle, some place like "download" so you can find it easily later
Now on the Kindle, tap disconnect on your KIndle so you can get back to the apps screen, launch the file explorer you installed earlier, navigate to folder you copied it to, e.g. "download" then install the "kindleroot_androidpolice.apk", open it, and go through the steps to launch click "Root"
Back on the Mac, in the terminal window where you had adb going, enter the commands
Code:
./adb root
./adb remount
./adb push su /system/xbin/su
./adb shell chown 0.0 /system/xbin/su
./adb shell chmod 06755 /system/xbin/su
./adb install Superuser.apk
./adb reboot
You should be rooted now, then you can follow the other instructions out there for getting Android market, etc working
TIP
here's a tip if you don't want to have to type in the period and slash ahead of adb every time. from your terminal window enter the
Code:
cd ~
touch .profile
open -e .profile
That will open text editor, and paste in the following line,
Code:
PATH=${PATH}:/Users/<username>/<sdk-directory>/platform-tools
replacing both our user name and the path to where you have sdk e.g. in my case
Code:
PATH=${PATH}:/Users/kbiz/Android/platform-tools
Then close the terminal window and reopen a new one and you should be good to go, now you'll only need to type in "adb".
Let me know if I missed something, trying to give back since this forum has been super helpful.

OTA Rootkeeper should work but since its not, try this (courtesy rootkindlefire.com/kindle-fire-unroot/how-to-unroot-kindle-fire/)
Code:
adb shell
su
mount -o rw,remount -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system
rm /system/app/Superuser.apk
rm /system/xbin/su
reboot
after your Kindle restarts you won't have root and Amazon Video should work just fine.
Hello,
I have successfully rooted my device with the above instructions. While installing the Android market I was abusing of my root privileges and I've successfully "burned" my device. That is, the Kindle won't start up anymore (it stays forever in the initial phase showing the kindleFire logo).
I don't know where else to turn for help so I'm writing about this here. If anyone has hints of how I could recover my kindle from the void, please let me know
Cheers

I had ADB and SDK working when I had my Glacier, but since I have gotten my SGS2, and my Kindle, Android SDK Manager will not open... It just opens a command prompt, and then closes.. I have reinstalled both the SDK Manager and the Java Kit... Any ideas?
EDIT:
I must have messed with something in my system settings somewhere to corrupt a bunch of stuff... I did a system restore to the 18th of December, reinstalled, and everything works perfect now... Oh well! Haha
Hey, I used a combo of the link JCase gave me when I had questions, this guide, and the links off the rootzwiki guide and managed to get it first try. It was actually easier than I thought it was going to be. I've never rooted anything before, I didn't even have ADB or the SDK until tonight. The process (while using both guides and video tut) went smoothly without a hitch. I just finished installing the Android Market but have to wait til morning to access it, as I have no WiFi at home, and its too late for me to be driving to a hotspot. Thank you very much. You(JCase) and your comrades who put this all together f**king rule.
a really clear and easy guide ! - congratulations - you shoud try to let it pin on top !

the reason people have problems with vashipooh's driver installation seems to be the old drivers - they don't manage to clean up the old drivers:
disconnect KF
Open an (elevated for win7) command prompt:
set devmgr_show_nonpresent_devices=1
devmgmt.msc
device manager opens - click "view" - click "show hidden devices"
now you see all devices ever connected/installed
uninstall all devices regarding "kindle" and "android (composite) adb device"
connect KF - will startup by itself
select the most recent driver (that you have installed before by install_driver.bat from KFU) manually (check date/time)
now you should be set up with a good driver installation
btw. i'm on xp - it's working for xp and 7, 32 and 64 bit
Hi all,
I got my KF few days back, Rooted it, before I could install the android market, got forced update to 6.2.1. 2 days ago saw this new root method using BurritoRoot. Tried rooting it, seems successful, however, now when I arrived at the home page, I cant even open the Superuser app at all. It goes the same for the Root Explorer - prompting:
"Root Explorer has not yet managed to obtain root access. Because of issues with Superuser, this often happens the first time the app is run but is usually fine from then on. Click ok and restart the app and try again. Make sure u respond correctly to the Superuser prompt." Then it comes with a force close.
Seriously I do not know whats wrong with it, now i cant even use the root explorer for me to install Android Market.
Anybody can help me with it?
Million Thanks.

Im using the ROOT INSTALL - Method 1 and I downloaded the file from Rootzwiki, apparently the file is named "com.noshufou.android.su-1.apk". and I used the following commands:

adb push su /system/xbin/su
adb shell chown 0.0 /system/xbin/su
adb shell chmod 06755 /system/xbin/su
adb install com.noshufou.android.su-1.apk

So which means I should use the Superuser -2.apk instead?
What should I do now? Download the Superuser-2 file and repeat the whole process again???

If I understand correctly, you try to execute the batch files to Root the Kindle Fire 7" HD: RunMe.bat (Step 1) or QemuRoot.bat (Step 2), Microsoft Windows returns an error Permission Denied or Access Denied. I suspect you are using Windows 7, correct? Try to Right Hand Mouse Click on then CMD.EXE Shortcut and choose "Run As Administrator".

Had the same problem. DL my package and see if you have any better luck:
http://www.mediafire.com/?t570mx55pqw5ezw
Or here are my instructions anyways:
Instructions:
1. Install/update Java from "chromeinstall-7u10.exe"
2. Install Kindle Fire ADB Drivers with "Kindle Fire ADB drivers.exe"
3. Place your Kindle fire in ADB mode (Settings->Security->Enable ADB->On) and connect your device by USB.
4. In the "Root_with_Restore_by_Bin4ry_v18" folder run "RunMe.bat"
5. Use Option one and follow the on-screen instructions
6. In the "QemuRoot_v1.0" folder, run "RootQemu.bat"
7. Follow the onscreen instructions.
8. You should be greeted with a success prompt.
*NOTE*
This method has gotten me farther and actually installs Superuser.apk, which I can open using ES File Explorer.
HOWEVER, Root still apparently doesn't work for me.

3. Place your Kindle fire in ADB mode (Settings->Security->Enable ADB->On) and connect your device by USB.
4. In the "Root_with_Restore_by_Bin4ry_v18" folder run "RunMe.bat"
5. Use Option one and follow the on-screen instructions
6. In the "QemuRoot_v1.0" folder, run "RootQemu.bat"
7. Follow the onscreen instructions.
8. You should be greeted with a success prompt.
*NOTE*
This method has gotten me farther and actually installs Superuser.apk, which I can open using ES File Explorer.
HOWEVER, Root still apparently doesn't work for me.

Same thing here. Doesnt matter which tutorial I follow. I get a permission or operation denied on anything that I want to do on the Kindle Fire.
echo 'ro.kernel.qemu=1' > /data/local.prop then the error "permission denied"

Driver correct install, install Android SDK Packages (SDK Tools + Plattorm Tools installed, and google Driver), and Java too.

When you did Step 1, did you see Restore on the Kindle? Did you click on the Restore dialog and let the program reboot the Kindle? When the Kindle rebooted, was it running slow?

Yes i saw the restore window. i did the restore, the kindle rebooted and the 1st root programe (by bin4ry) seemed to work fine, it told me i had root. When i ran the Qemu root kit it failed on step 2.
No the kindle didnt seem to run slow. it did the very 1st time i tried to root it after the 7.3.2 update, but since doing a factory reset, the kindle didnt run slow after rooting attempts.
if you get me rooted i will post you a very sexy picture of my ankle!

After the first step, do not do anything to the Kindle, leave it alone after the reboot and proceed using the following updated Qemu program.
You may download the updated version here: https://dl.dropbox.com/u/54456659/Qmenu.zip
Extract to your desktop and run the RootQemu.bat file. Choose Option 1.

Solved the issue.....Instead of running the batch file as admin, i opened up 'CMD' as admin, then navigated (using command prompt) to the folder containing the root files and ran them.....it worked!!! it passed through step 2.
However....when i run es file explorer. i cannot access root

Ahhh, almost there. This is a bug in Superuser.apk - go into your Apps folder, you will see Superuser, click on it. It will open, now go to File Explorer, see if you can run as Root. I prefer Root Explorer.

Root and Google Play for Amazon 7" Kindle Fire HD Software Version 7.2.3
Since this thread had seen a lot of changes over the last couple of weeks, I decided it was time to consolidate everything again, so here it is the consolidated and updated link version as of 12/23/2012:
The problem "Device not Found" is usually driver related or ADB Security issue. I assume you have ADB enabled under Security - Enable ADB? Also enable "Allow Installation of Applications" under the Device tab - this will allow installation of Google Play applications. If all OK, move onto the next step.
Next, as per the Qemu thread noted here http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1893838 you will find a driver package named "Kindle_Fire_HD_ADB_Drivers.zip", be sure to install the ADB driver package. Reboot the PC and next the Kindle.
As you noted, if you want to use Google Play, you must Root the device. Just to keep everything consolidated, I will give you a brief Rooting instructions which works for Software 7.2.2 and 7.2.3.
Download Root MANY ANDROID! to your desktop. Extract to your desktop.
Download Qemu automated root to your desktop. Extract to your desktop.
NOTE WINDOWS 7 USERS: You need to open a command prompt "as Administrator" when running the batch files RunMe.bat and RootQemu.bat - otherwise Windows will respond with "Permission Denied".
Root Step 1: Run RunMe.bat from Root MANY ANDROID! http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1886460. Choose option 1 Run Normal Method and ignore errors. Pay attention, you will need to answer "Restore" a dialogue box on the Kindle. Click on Restore. When the program has completed, the Kindle will Reboot.
Root Step 2: When the Kindle reboots it will react VERY slowly, this is normal - leave it alone. Proceed to Step 3.
Root Step 3: Run RootQemu.bat from Qemu automated root http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1893838. Follow the instructions Step-by-Step allowing Windows to re-detect the Kindle between reboots (about 2 minutes). Let this utility complete to the end.
Root Step 4: Click on Superuser.apk under the Apps tab.
You should now have root AND if this is true your ADB communication is also functional. Finally to Google Play.
Play Step 1 Move GoogleServicesFramework.apk, AccountAndSyncSettings.apk and GoogleLoginService.apk to /system/app. Using Root explorer app on the Fire (be sure it has Superuser Permissions). Change permissions on both to Owner: Read-Write, Group: Read and Others: Read. Install GoogleServicesFramework.apk, AccountAndSyncSettings.apk and GoogleLoginService.apk
Play Step 2 Reboot the Kindle
Play Step 3 Download Vending.apk
Play Step 4 Using Root explorer app on the Fire (be sure it has Superuser Permissions). Move Vending.apk to /system/app with permissions set to Owner: Read-Write, Group: Read and Others: Read.
Play Step 5 Install Vending.apk
Play Step 6 Google Play should show up in your Kindle Fire HD Apps. Tap on it and follow the steps.
Play Step 7 Download and install the Gplay3.8.17.apk to upgrade the the android market to the current Google Play market.
Play Step 8 Download google_apps - unzip to /sdcard/download
Play Step 9 Install Google Apps as needed. There is no need to move any of the apps to /system/app, just perform a normal apk install by using Root Explorer to install these apps.
I have also attached copies of these noted files to this thread.
Also, I have organized a few Google Apps & Services then zipped them into a folder you may download here: Google Apps. I have used all these Apps on my Kindle 7" HD successfully.
If you would like to disable the Amazon OTA Updates, delete or move /system/ect/security/otacerts.zip to /sdcard/download - Reboot the Kindle.
Finally, to eliminate Amazon from intercepting any Market requests, thus allowing Google Play to be the default Market move /system/app/MarketIntentProxy.apk to /sdcard/download - Reboot the Kindle
I'm also trying to do what previous users have been doing in this thread: running Rootqemu.bat but I still get permission denied on the second step. I've tried navigating to the folder using an administrator command prompt and running it through cmd, still fails on the second step with permission denied:
/system/bin/sh: cannot create /data/local.prop: Permission denied.
Have no idea where to go from here any help would be appreciated.
I have moved this from here https://forum.xda-developers.com/pixel-2-xl/how-to/zero-day-vzw-pixel-2-xl-root-t3977851/
Hey everyone!
I am here to post some good news. I have made a set of scripts that can give you temporary root through Magisk. It persists until the next reboot, but setting it up after the initial setup is a lot easier.
The script requires that it be run as root, which means that you need to run the temproot binary provided earlier.
Big thank you to Elliwigy for walking me through the initial process and for providing the commands.
Source code for the "exploit" binary can be found here, and compiled from source if you so desire.
This script is provided with no warranty whatsoever. This script may brick your phone. YOU ARE RUNNING THIS AT YOUR OWN RISK. I ACCEPT NO RESPONSIBILITY FOR WHAT THIS SCRIPT DOES TO YOUR PHONE.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
IF YOU DO NOT WANT TO RISK YOUR PHONE BEING BRICKED, DO NOT CONTINUE!
Requirements:
A Verizon Pixel 2 (XL) on the September 2019 Security Patch
A computer with ADB If you need ADB, it can be found here
A USB cable
Appropriate USB drivers USB drivers can be found here if needed
Some knowledge of how to use the terminal
The taimentempmagisk.zip file (attached)
The APK for Magisk Manager (included in the zip)
Hope
Magisk and MagiskManager can also be downloaded from here if you wish.
If Magisk Manager prompts you to perform additional setup, DO NOT ACCEPT. (unless you like having a bricked phone)
Install the Magisk Manager APK onto your phone
Use ADB to push the attached ZIP file (taimentempmagisk.zip) to /data/local/tmp
Open an ADB shell and navigate to /data/local/tmp
Extract the ZIP file with the unzip command
Navigate into the scripts folder
Run ./exploit (If this step fails, repeat until you have a root shell)
Run ./installtemproot.sh magiskinit64
After you have done this, you now have root!
If you reboot and want root back, just run /data/local/tmp/scripts/exploit in an adb shell, then run /data/local/tmp/scripts/temproot.sh
Enjoy your root!

Yep, i have it pre-installed, i did follow every step provided, but prompt is not showing up and afterwards it does not detect root... Well, i'v done it several times, i tried ./temproot.sh after install script, but still same...
Well, i guess i have to reboot
Edit: tried reboot, still same.... i'll write down what i have done exactly.
Rebooted dvice
Went into terminal emulator and executed ./taimen
After that went one step back with cd .. and executed chmod -R 777 scripts
Then went to pc and entered ADB shell and executed ./taimen there too, because otherwise i was getting This script must be run as root. Exiting. on install script
Then ran install script. Process did complete successfully, however no magisk prompt was fired and afterwards root was not detected
I'v tried chmod -R 777 . even from adb shell, tried opening magisk app and then doing these whole process... no luck
First, thanks for your supporting and your instruction
I just install October(6/10) update so any risk if i follow your instruction

If you are getting this on the phone, you need to use a terminal emulator with access to a directory in /data. I used Termux in my example.
If you want to use Termux, here is how to get taimen running:
Install Termux
Open Termux and let it install
Run termux-setup-storage
Push the ZIP to /sdcard/Download
On the phone, move the ZIP file from ~/storage/downloads to ~
Continue from step 4 in OP

How would I move it to ~ without root?

In Linux ~ is a shortcut for the home directory, which is always owned by the current user. Root is not required to move the ZIP from ~/storage/downloads to ~ on Termux.
Ok I can't run installtemproot.sh in adb, and neither on the phone itself through termux. Is there something I'm missing? su can't be find on the phone.
Edit: It works if you use Jack Pal's terminal emulator and you cd into its directory on adb. Sadly magisk doesn't recognize it's installed.
I'm on October 5 2018 security update and should flash September 5 2019 try temp root?I know stay away October's 2019 that's patch,sean
