Hi guys!
I've been in a struggle trying to install CWM 5.5.0.4 on my IDEOS X5.
Currently my phone's rooted and with U8800V100R001C00B518G001(Beta1.0)(Overseas Normal)(Gingerbread).
-> I tried to do it by the pink screen but i can't access the desired folder.
->I tried to do it with Remount (even tho it only shows /.cust_backup and no /image then) and i get "Failure! /.cust_backup could not be remounted as RW"
->I tried with Root explorer and everytime i click on "Mount R/W" it does nothing, so i can't copy/paste
Can't remember what i've done more...
Can i get some help plz? Ty
you are sure it is rooted?
can you change r/w on other systen directories in root explorer?

First of all, ty for your help.
Well, SuperOneClick says that my phone's rooted, but tbh i don't have SU icon.
About Remount, as i said above, i tried to do it with Remount (even tho it only shows /.cust_backup and no /image then) and i get "Failure! /.cust_backup could not be remounted as RW"

If you don't have superuser icon after root, it isn't rooted, something went wrong with the rooting process... try rooting again, search the forum for the root method for your specific stock ROM version...

Did you install Busybox from the Android Market after rooting with z4root? I believe this is what is used to grant superuser capabilities. Root Explorer should allow you to push those files after this.
busybox wouldn't install on mine after i'd "rooted" using z4root.. and now the superoneclick won't work for me either (I've just installed JIT)...
installed busybox and didn't work at all

I just rooted mine today. apparently there are a few versions of busybox that don't work as they should. I installed titanium after root. Load titanium, it will tell you it can't get superuser rights but will start anyway. Click the "Problems" button at the bottom of the screen and it will download a reliable version of busybox.
I hope this helps.

Didn't work for me either. When trying to download BusyBox through Titanium, I get an "install failed". Went to market and downloaded busybox from there but gives me a "your phone is rooted. Could not locate busybox".
I have an X10a through AT&T R2CA016. Do I need to debrand it before rooting?

You don't need to debrand before rooting. When you download/install Busybox from the Market, open it and it will give you the option of which version of Busybox you want to install/use, select the one you want and run it. Then you can use Titanium after that.
z4root worked fine on my x10. used superoneclick to apply shell root after that but busybox installed fine before that.
Will z4root work on my 2.1-update1 X10?
I have the Nordic Unbranded version with build No. 20A0504 or something...
I only need root to access the Japanese market, nothing else (don't care about otifications etc).
Will it work then? If I use z4root?
Oh, and it wont mess up my SD card, contacts or battery or anything like that?

old post i know....but it works fine for me....had you mounted in R/W mode? it should say R/O at the top if you have. I just copied an mp3 file straight into the internal memory (/system/media/audio/ringtones)
That what I do!
I use a "Flash tool release"
root by installing the z4root
then I i install busybox
and to get full access I install rootexplorer and reamount system to the rw the in rootexplorer
then use the "X10modtool" XDA Tool So Always when i try to change staff in my x10 I just open rootexplorer and re amount
Then use Adb shell and staff
(Work 100% for me)
The reamunting it just does not work when use seus or PPC - the ADB is close in the production version of the SE system
By the way How to turn on the ADB in the SE ?? (permittions)
In summary when you install XDA apps just add rootexplorer and reamount to rw
Hi all!
First off, I'm new to xda Developers so please excuse me if this is in the wrong forum! I thought I'd post information about a tool I wrote here which roots stock 4.0.3 leak on the A500, A501 and assumingly the A200 too. Its literally one click - just enable USB debugging. "ICS Root" also installs, optionally, FaceLock and Trebuchet (although FaceLock doesn't want to work. It lets you set it up though =P)
Since version 5.0.1 this also now works with the new 0.022.00 leak!
The full post is over at TegraOwners: http://forum.tegraowners.com/viewtopic.php?f=30&t=350
The only real system requirements are Windows (with .Net Framework 4) and an Iconia on the stock 4.0.3 leak. I hope somebody finds this useful its been tested by myself and a couple of TegraOwners users and it works well.
In terms of the technique used, it uses the great Jay Freeman's mempodroid exploit to gain root at which point it mounts /system rw and installs su, busybox and Superuser.apk so no real surprises there. Installing Trebuchet adds that apk to /system/app and installing FaceLock installs the apk to /system/app before installing the pittpatt folder to the flexrom (mounted as /system/vendor). I plan to open source it when all the requested features have been implemented and the code has been cleaned up.
Thanks!

With this tool does system remain writeable after rooting?
What about flashing CWM with acer recovery installer once rooted? I guess it would screw the bootloader...

If you are on the cwm with the HC boot loader it should work as Its Magic will be run..
if you are on the new boot loader as in the full non modded leak.. It will give you secure boot error ..
The new boot loader Blocks its magic.

Hey this worked easy. I had to re-install USB drivers and make sure I had the latest from Google. Other then that, hit the button, wait about 1.5 minutes, and it rebooted! No problems thus far! Thanks Again!

After reading the other post, I have found that I cannot write to the system directory from the device itself. The folder attributes indicate that it is set to write, however File Explorer HD will not let me. I have tried to create a folder in the /system and it will not accept the addition. The strange thing is that Root Check says it is rooted, File Explorer HD accepts putting it into Root Explore, but that is it. It is odd. I will try to reapply the Root to see if that makes a difference.

Please, read the op before bringing this up. This method is for half root, its the only way possible right now on stock leak ics. There is a special script you need to use to mpunt system. You can find it in the stock leak thread, run it in terminal or use rom toolbox and set it as a script to run at boot because rebooting loses write privileges.

Version 3 came out this morning
It features some bug fixes as well as a completely new remount menu which mounts /system rw properly on the fly. Tested with a busybox installer app
Enjoy!
Thanks for your tool blackthund3r !
I tried it with the new leak from this morning and it doesn't seem to work anymore
Edit :
Just to be a little more specific, the app says the process was OK and state that the tablet is rooted but the tablet doesn't reboot by itseld and su is not installed. I tried to install su manually but it's unable to find a previous su package on the system.

ah okay it appears a completely new leak has been released. It is possible that the mempodroid exploit has been patched up. I'm gonna look into it soon. I can't much tonight - I have school work. I'll see what can be done and what the differences between leaks are.

Hi blackthund3r
Thanks for the update 3.1 but could you please fix the problem on your hosting website? clicking on this file send to an error warning.
The other files can be downloaded though.
can someone post a mirror to the 3.1 version? current link is not working.
can somebody also confirm, if i root with this tool, i will be able to reinstall my clockworkmod recovery through 'acer recovery installer' and flash any other cwm rom? or do i have to downgrade to honeycomb 3.01, install iconiaroot for honeycomb and then acer recovery installer?
Gersma,
I'll be able to answer to your question as soon as I'll be able to download this tool and test it.
Is there a way to root the Streak 5 or install custom recovery without using USB connection? The USB charger port is broken so I am unable to connect through USB. I´ve tried to root the phone with GingerBreak and Z4Root without success. Maybe it´s possible to root the phone or flash recovery with Flash_image in Terminal Emulator but I am unable to find a guide to do so. Any help would be apreciated, I´ve searched the forums here but am unable to find the answer I´m looking for.
edit:
I´m on Android 2.2.2, 360 stock ROM, build 17397.
Well, if the answer you were looking for is "yes it can be done", then it's obvious why you haven't found the answer you were looking for.
You have to have a working port on the Streak to install CWM since installing a custom recovery requires being in the Streak's Fastboot mode. Rooting may be possible, but unlikely since you have to copy files to the \system directory, which isn't writable unless you've rooted using CWM to install the files or ADB to push them.
Short of finding an exploit to root with, he might(?) be able to by disassembling it and pushing root to /data/local and setting permissions with a pc.

ah.. i see... by taking out innerSD and manually push root into it.. it seems possible that way...
Rooting is ultimately getting SU somewhere runnable and changing it's permissions to 06755.
It just makes the most sense to place it in /system/xbin 99.95% of the time.
it seems the guy doesnt read the forum thorough enough.. because there is solution to it already..

Dont recall gingerbreak working on 350+ as dell pretty much patched everything.
I believe it works on 318 or thereabouts, but OP is on 360 he already stated it didnt work (but not which exact version of gingerbreak)
well.. at least he can try first... but it seems not possible is it?
Gingerbreak version 1.2 works on stock 351 but not on stock 360.

That sounds like a good idea since I have already cutted out for access to the internal SD card. What would be the best program for Windows 7 to push root to the SD card and change the permissions?
You would need to be able to read ext3 partitions and modify the file permissions.
I've never bothered trying under windows, the simplest way is to do it under linux.
You can install it in a VM if you wish, or you can try and figure out how to do it with additional software under windows.
Regardless you should try pushing su to /data/local/ and setting it's permissions to 06755 (rws--r-s-r-x).
If you get that far we'll continue from there
Would it be possible to get a repacked 360 stock ROM (apk or zip package) that is already rooted, and then install it on the Streak using the 360 stock recovery? Maybe that´s not possible because of the signature verification but I wonder if it would be possible. Then I would have to find someone with a rooted 360 ROM to make the package for me.

sorry to bust in. /data is mounted nosuid for a reason. Don't know whether this is so on the 360, but at least check ($ mount |grep /data) before you open your device and risk hardware damage.

suspect it is the carrier
I`m just a novice at this game but I dont see how the carrier could affect root as you flash generic .587 firmware to begin with...
Have a look at this great video and follow it point by point but use the alternative root kit than the one shown, although I didnt run programmes from command prompt like he suggests..

Interesting post here saying that 587 cannot be rooted
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2105325
May explain why i am having issues
Quite right , .587 cannot be rooted directly. You have to downgrade by flashing an earlier version kernel.
So its...Flash .587 firmware - FLASH .562 KERNEL ONLY - root with DooMLoRD_v1_Xperia-2011-ICS-ROOT-emu-busybox-su - flash original .587 kernel..
Watch the video , all is explained within it ...

Don't suppose there's any way to fix this without a custom recovery is there?
I've rooted but can't mount/write to my System folder after doing a 4.4.4 OTA update, but I don't have a custom recovery installed. I just rooted using the toolkit and left it at that.
