Cannot root G2- Help?

Hello. I am encountering a problem when attempting to root my G2 as outlined in the wiki (http://forum.xda-developers.com/wik..._Root_.2F_.22Permaroot.22.29_using_gfree_v0.5). I get an error message with this step:
Code:
# ./root_psn
Returns the error message:
Code:
# ./root_psn
./root_psn
cp: can't stat '/system/xbin/busybox': Not a directory
Unable to chmod /system/xbin/busybox: Not a directory
./root_psn: /system/xbin/busybox: not found
cp: not found
cp: not found
Unable to chmod /system/bin/su: No such file or directory
#
As a possible side note, something worked: I have ENG S-OFF but no root. Any idea what went wrong?

There is a topic in G2 development forum using visionary "and" gfree to root. Easiest way to root the G2. Dont even need a pc.

Except that Visionary doesn't work on my phone, curiously. I would have tried that already if it did. But thanks for the reply

Busybox isn't where it's supposed to be it looks like. The cp command is dependant on a working busybox binary, if the location is incorrect, or or it isn't executable, you'd get those errors.

Okay, thank you. I will make another attempt when I am back home.

okay I tried to do it again and hit the same wall: same error. Pretty sure I pushed busybox to the right location. Is there anything I can do now since visionary doesn't appear to work (temproot) either?

I used Z4Mod to Temp root my G2 for OC purposes only...

Still getting "Permission denied" from terminal emulator/Titanium backup. My G2 REALLY does not want to be rooted it seems...

You need to change the permissions on those files chmod them too 755 i think. It should be outlined in the guide. Sorry i cant give you specific help

I used the noob guide on this site

So you flashed the CF rooted kernel?
Try putting your phone in debug mode and open a shell to it using adb. Once inside check to see if the su binary is in /system/xbin.
ie:
Code:
adb shell
$ ls -l /system/xbin/su
if you see something like this, you're golden:
Code:
-rwsr-sr-x root root 26264 2011-08-16 15:49 su
(also notice the permissions, it needs to be setuid, although I would guess if it is there it is unlikely it is not setuid)
if you see this, something's wrong:
Code:
/system/xbin/su: No such file or directory
if you have su, have you installed the superuser app from the market?
if not, you have to figure out why..for example, do you have space on your /system filesystem?
Code:
$ df /system
Filesystem Size Used Free Blksize
/system 275M 256M 19M 4096

Flash cf-root kernel and you get root instantly, no hassles

Thanks for reply, that was my first post here, will search about flashing that kernel, just got a question, will my phone application and data will get wiped out as I can't use titanium back up now(I'm new to flashing).

Also check if "usb debugging" is enabled, you need that root.
You can also try "z4root"

z4root wont work on froyo, it uses an old exploit

Since we are talking about it, anyone has link for I5801DDJP6?
And anyone knows the changes between DDJP5 and DDJP6?

Titanium backup can't get root permissions

I have the 16 gig Nexus 7 which I have rooted but having tried to backup my ROM I find I am unable to reboot into Recovery to perform a ROM backup. I also cannot flash to the latest version of Clockworkmod, I have version 6.1.0 when I am told that 6.2.3 is available. When I try to flash the download reaches 100% and says flashing before telling me an error has occurred. Also Titanium backup can't get root. Is it possible I am not fully rooted and is there a way to check? Thanks in advance.

There is an app called "Root Checker" ... Do you have SuperUser installed and does it open?
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda app-developers app

Yes I have superuser installed and it does open OK and does list some apps as having root permissions. I will try the checking root app and thanks.

Can somebody please tell me how to fix this

Have you tried wugfresh's root toolkit? It's easy to use. I've rooted, and reset and rerooted several Nexus 7s with it and never had a problem.

Why do you have 2 SU apps installed? That's probably what is messing you up.
Remove super user and re flash supersu from fastboot. The supersu flash will make it work.

Hi All,
I am trying to root my LG G2 D802 (KitKat 4.4.2, Kernel 3.4.0) by using IOroot. I am getting the error:

In addition I checked and the phone seems to be rooted (with a couple of apps).
1. Why am I getting these errors?
2. I tried to install twrp and it seems its installed, however I am not able to backup, I am getting a message its cannot mount system, data, etc..
Any ideas? Thanks
