[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

Need Some Help

So I'm on the Latest official 2.2.1 from Motorola/ATT, but I'm having some issues.
My home button doesn't work at all and I can't get it to work despite my efforts. So I think I just need to do a factory reset and delete everything, I think my rooting and mods to my 2.1 soft ware may have messed everything up. Before I try this, will it delete all my text messages and stuff? or should I back them up with that SMS backup program?
Also, i'm having a hard time rooting it with SuperOneClick, it fails to work completely so does anybody know exactly what commands I need to just root via my terminal?

nevermind I figured it out. Here are the commands if anybody is interested:
./adbmac push psneuter /data/local/tmp
./adbmac push su-v2 /data/local/tmp
./adbmac push busybox /data/local/tmp
./adbmac shell
$ busybox chmod +x /data/local/tmp/psneuter
$ /data/local/tmp/psneuter
# exit
$ exit
./adbmac remount
./adbmac shell
# busybox mv /data/local/tmp/su-v2 /system/xbin/su
# busybox chmod 6755 /system/xbin/su
# busybox chown 0.2000 /system/xbin/su
# busybox ln -s /system/xbin/su /system/bin/su
# busybox cp /data/local/tmp/busybox /system/xbin
# busybox chmod 0755 /system/xbin/busybox
# busybox chown 0.2000 /system/xbin/busybox
# exit
$ exit
./adbmac install Superuser.apk
./adbmac reboot

Have you tried flashing the 2.2 SBF using RSD Lite? I tried that for a different problem and it worked.

Ok I just reflashed it using the stock recovery then I wiped all the data(factory reset). I backed my stuff up first though. I was wrong in my previous post about how to root using terminal. To correctly root you need to follow this guide to the T. http://www.addictivetips.com/mobile/how-to-root-nexus-one-running-android-2-2-1-from-ubuntu-linux/
I just flashed RC2 and it is loading now...

[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 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!

How to uninstall and flash a new SU app?

So now that there's 3 premium super user apps I figured I'd ask what's the proper way to uninstall and install a new one if I wanted to I also figured this would help noobs. The way I would do it is go into file explorer mount my system to R/O and delete the system in system app . then I would flash a new super user through recovery or adb. Now in not sure if anything would be lingering around that would come in conflict with a new SU so hopefully someone can help answer this. Thanks

Surely the new ZIP package removes/replaces the old one with the new package (assuming they are the same name, of course)?

Well I guess what I mean is going from SuperSu to clockworkmod su

The ZIP package remove any old versions before flashing the new one so you just flash the package in CWM/TWRP and you should be good to go...
Code:
#!/sbin/sh
# arg 1 is recovery api version, generally 3.
# arg 2 is the pipe fd, to the recovery binary.
# communicate with it using the recovery api.
# arg 3 is the zip file
echo -n -e 'ui_print Installing Superuser...\n' > /proc/self/fd/$2
echo -n -e 'ui_print\n' > /proc/self/fd/$2
cd /tmp
mkdir superuser
cd superuser
unzip -o $3
X86=$(uname -a | grep x86)
if [ ! -z "$X86" ]
then
PLATFORM=x86
else
PLATFORM=armeabi
fi
echo -n -e 'ui_print Installing '$PLATFORM' binaries...\n' > /proc/self/fd/$2
echo -n -e 'ui_print\n' > /proc/self/fd/$2
mount /system

[guide] how to deodex stock 4.3 firmware

To make this work you must be on stock rooted firmware!!!
I made a quick guide how to root stock 4.3 firmware, and can be found here
I'm not responsible for any damage caused by using this on your phone!!!
Let's start:
1 - you need deodexed app and deodexed framework. download and unzip. will result 2 folders (app & framework) wich must be copied on your phone (int sdcard)
2 - download adb from attach and unzip
3 - enable USB debugging mode (go to settings > about phone > tap on Build Number 7 times, until a message appears saying 'You are now a Developer.') than go to settings > Developer Options and enable USB Debugging Mode
4 - go to adb folder and open a command window (hold shift and right click on mouse button / choose "open command window here")
5 - connect your phone to pc with usb cable
>>> ml6_deodexed_zipaligned_apps_framework
>>> na1_deodexed_zipaligned_apps_framework
Now enter folowing codes:
>>> adb shell
>>> su (if you are using adb shell in su for the first time, keep phone screen on. after entering "su" code, super user request prompt in phone. press allow!!!)
>>> stop (touchscreen will not be active until reboot, don't worry!)
>>> mount -o rw,remount /system/ /system/ (mounting system r/w)
>>> cp /sdcard/app/* /system/app/ (copy deodexed system applications) (this will take 3 - 5 min)
>>> rm /system/app/*.odex (remove odex files)
>>> chmod 0644 /system/app/*.apk (this fix permissions in system/app)
>>> cp /sdcard/framework/* /system/framework/ (copy deodexed framework)
>>> rm /system/framework/*.odex (remove odex files)
>>> mount -o ro,remount /system/ /system/ (mounting system r/o)
>>> reboot (your phone will reboot) (this will take a little)
Code:
adb shell
su
stop
mount -o rw,remount /system/ /system/
cp /sdcard/app/* /system/app/
rm /system/app/*.odex
chmod 0644 /system/app/*.apk
cp /sdcard/framework/* /system/framework/
rm /system/framework/*.odex
mount -o ro,remount /system/ /system/
reboot
Now you have a deodexed stock rom!!!
do not forget to press thanks

i recommend to remove all knox files from your phone.
to do this you need an application to modify your system files ( i use root explorer )
to remove knox delete this files:
system > app > ContainerAgent.apk / ContainerEventsRelayManager.apk / KLMSAgent.apk / KNOXAgent.apk /
KnoxAttestationAgent.apk / KNOXStore.apk / KNOXStub.apk
system > containers (delete entire folder)
system > etc > secure_storage > com.sec.knox.store (delete entire folder)
