Android rooting - Linux port of DooMLoRD script - ICS as well as Gingerbread

Update: I have now also made a Linux port for DooMLoRD's rooting of ICS phones.(Sony Xperia only)
Please see attached file: Xperia-2011-ICS-ROOT-emu-Linux.zip
Note: You need flashtool for linux. Procedure remains the same as for windows.
Original script thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1601038
Rooting procedure: http://talk.sonymobile.com/thread/41119?start=0&tstart=0
Please update Superuser app as well as SU binary to the latest version after rooting is done successfully.
Update: Updated as per DooMLoRD's v4.0 script with zergRush binary of 21 Nov 2011 and with makespace which deletes Google Maps if there is not enough space.(< 6MB).
Hello
I am completely new to Android but not at all new to Linux.
I used paxchristos script (ran commands manually though) to root my Sony Ericsson Live with Walkman. (WT19i / Android 2.3.4 / Build 4.0.2.A.0.58)
Source threads used:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1319653
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=18615502
In an attached file, I fixed/modified/added few things in paxchristos script. Here is the detail:
1) Fixed error in symlinking su. (source/destination were same)
2) Don't delete (and recreate) /data/local/tmp/ directory unnecessarily, just delete its contents.
3) Create /data/local/tmp if it does not exist.
4) Uses dd instead of cp (because DooMLoRD's script does, dont know why!). Update: as per anantshri, dd is used because cp has been known to give errors.
5) If your system already has 'adb' then it uses system 'adb' instead of one in zip-archive.
6) Updated zip archive to contain the latest files from DooMLoRD's archive (paxchristos archive seemed old)
Please try/verify and let me know if I missed something.
Thanks.

Very nice to know that fellow *nixers are on xda.

Thanks, I am still getting used to this forum.
Have already found answers to many of my questions regarding Android.
One thing that shocked me is Android uses Java and not C. I would have preferred C anyday.

ohk so few things
1) yes java is used mainly in Android, However look at NDK if you are a C fan.
2) dd command is used in scripts to avoid cp related issues. coz last i remember we encountered multiple errors based on scenarios where cp used to fail but dd used to work. so dd is defacto there.
@doomLord, Correct me if i am wrong.

Ah that clears dd confusion. Till now I was wondering why he chose dd? I thought may be because dd was faster for internal memory to internal memory transfer.
Since DooMLoRD is good programmer I knew there has to be a reason. And that is why I changed paxchristos script to use dd.

Updated to match with DooMLoRD's v4 script. See update on first post for details.

Just used this script on my Galaxy S 2 Skyrocket. Worked great!

Have used the script with Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini E10a Latin America.
Script runned, ADB found the device, device has rebooted correctly but... no root after reboot. Checked with Root Checker from Market.
Anyway, great script! Should work for some models.

On my phone (Milestone 2 with Gingerbread 2.3.6) the root process worked, but part of the space check it returns 90% of free space, the software does not correctly identify and delete my google maps. The following screen to evaluate and correct the bug. And congratulations for the initiative, I'd have to do it by hand when I found your script ready.

Umm.... Freespace checking script was not developed by me. I have copied it directly from DooMLoRD script AS IS (had not tested it either). I think we dont need it anyway. It will be very rare that person rooting wud have run out of space. Person can re-install Google Maps (so no big harm done by bug)
But when I get the time I will check the DooMLoRD's script if there exist a bug.
Please click on THANKS if u liked my script

Your script has saved me a lot of work, because I'm tired of borrowing the notebook of my wife for flashing my phone and was looking for solutions for linux, missing root can do, I do not want to use SuperOneclick (did not want to install it just for Mono ) and go on to adapt the script DoomLord for Linux, which you did very well done. Now I can do everything on my computer with linux, what about the bug, I realized that the program was part of the original script, but I made a warning to those who wish, like me, deactivate the check room not to lose Google Maps (or have to reinstall the Market).

adb drivers in linux ?
Hy ! Can I use this script to root my Galaxy Note ? And can you say me how to install adb drivers in linux, plz ?

Just try it.
ADB is already there with script.
If you have fedora then u can install adb by running:
yum install android-tools

OK
Thank you, i will try. I didn't realize that "ADP" is the same as "ADP drivers".

well in linux there is nothing like drivers u can say
very few hardware require driver.
and when android itself is born from linux, linux shud already have support for it

Everything went well, thank you very much! We should just specify the need to execute the file "runme-linux" as root (with "sudo") ;-).
I would not to abuse, but would it be possible to have the same thing for unroot, please ?

Easy unroot for linux
Hy,
I used Amish translation to do the same for the DooMLoRD's Unrooting Script. I succesfully tried it with my phone, but REMEMBER YOU ARE DOING THIS AT YOUR OWN RISK (I suppose you know this song ;-))
DooMLoRD's instructions :
so here is the unrooting script to be USED ONLY AND ONLY IF U HAVE USED MY FILES (Easy Rooting Toolkit) FOR ROOTING
[ WARNING ]
if u have used any other way/solution for rooting then PLEASE DO NOT RUN THIS... you MIGHT END UP with damaged system...
(thats cause some ppl create symlinks for busybox in /system/bin/ which wipes out stock symlinks to /system/bin/toolbox and breaks/damages system)
More informations here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=18615502 and here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1329360

I havent unrooted but I think unrooting wud be nothing but removing busybox symlinks (and busybox itself) and removing su binary and superuser.apk.

btw there is no need to run "runme-linux" as super user.
it works as normal user (recommended)

Root 2.3.6 Roms

Good news everyone!
Here is the rooting method for 2.3.6 ROM's, that I decided to call PreinstalameEsta (roughly translated to PreinstallThis)
This method doesn't change any user data. The sbf that is flashed during the procedure only modifies the /preinstall partition (CG66), in which exists a security problem that I exploited to get the root access.
Files needed:
PreinstalameEsta's Files: https://github.com/downloads/nicofff/preinstalameEsta/nicofff-preinstalameEsta-v0.9-4-gce4da6b.zip
ADB, RSD lite, drivers, etc.
Procedure:
1) Unzip the PreinstalameEsta's Files
2) Plug your phone, and switch on USB debugging
3) Run the rootMM2_en.bat file (or runme_en.sh on linux)
3) When asked to flash the new sbf file, reboot the phone into bootloader mode (turn on while pressing the up arrow on the keyboard)
4) Open RSD lite, select the fixed.sbf file and flash it into the phone. (if on linux, use the sbf_flash app included)
5) When it finishes flashing, and reboots, continue executing the rootMM2.bat file.
6) After a few reboots more, the batch file will finish and the phone should be rooted.
In case you want to contribute code, translations, etc.:

For an explanation (in spanish) on how i found the root, check here:

Original Thread on GA: http://www.grupoandroid.com/topic/49338-root-ginger-de-personal-claro-movistar-vivo-y-tigoretail/
Happy Rooting
Nicofff
Update 05/08/2012:
I got my phone stolen last night (In San Telmo, Buenos Aires). Just in case it ends in the hands of a good soul and they happen to come here, i humbly ask them to return it.
The way to identify it: Under the battery, there is a sticker from AFIP that is slightly burnt.
Thanks

I flashed fixed.sbf with rsdlite, everything was fine... after that when I tried to use the root_mm2_en, it was saying that couldn't change, like other roots (doomlord v4, superoneclick,...)
What can I do ? Later I'll post my error

It's a bug because of the translation... I've found it:
Code:
adb shell "echo 'doing something on adb, otherwise it doesn't work'"
Should change to

do this:

and then run the script again, but when instead of rebooting into bootloader mode and flashing, just reboot it normally

thx for answer
but....i'm a noob... where i should type this : adb shell "rm /data/preinstall_md5/*" ??

I had the same problem, I'll try to do this ! let's see guys !

you should try on vroot , just download it and run it , enable usb debugging , press the green button n ur phone will be rooted , i also ve f320l

Root D802 KK

hgey i just got mine lg g2 D802 and i updated it to KK imediatley !! but how the h** can i root this phone ? i ran an root batch file and it did say it had rooted my phone but wheni try rootchecker from play store it will not confirme i have root acces....

Have you got supersu app installed?
Sent from my LG-D802 using XDA Free mobile app

Did you have any output while it was in recovery ?
Try manually installing supersu
If it's already there, open it and check "enable superuser".
try this:
download terminal emulator from playstore (any..)
open it and type
Code:
su
and hit enter
if it asks for root access then you're rooted for sure. If not, there is something wrong and post results here

my output is(just tried again) :

Bro the only rooting method working with L3 is Superoneclick with Rageagainstthecage (version 1.7)
To run the exploit you must change the exploit engine from pseneuter to rageagainstthecage.All other methods don't work.

I tried the method described above, this one also crashes on looking for device. I got usb debugging on, latest drivers installed and full battery. The phone has the last software, which is V10j-OCT-17-2012. Android version 2.3.6.
I have seen other LGL3/E400 phones rooted, so what am I doing wrong here and how can I actually root my phone then?
Thanks in advance.

It might just be the software version that is not compitable with the current rooting methods. Is there a way to downgrade my LG L3/E400 to a firmware that is rootable?
With the firmware of my device, 10J, it says E400GO. It is from Vodafone, The Netherlands. Don't know if that information will help but you never know.
So I am trying to root my LG L3 E400GO. Who knows how to do the trick?

Though it did not reboot at all, I might have just rooted it.
