worked a treat
kudos to you man

no need of shell root first. Directly hitting the root also gives permaroot.
And go with PC49IMG process or fastboot flash recovery process for custom recovery. Donot use unrevoked.

[Q] Can not root Defy after update, Tried several methods

Hey,
My girlfriend has a Motorla Defy.
When she got it, i wanted to update it from 2.1 to at least 2.2 so foolish me, I went with the idea to see how the Stock 2.2.2 looks like, if it is good she can keep it, and just root it.
Well its not that nice, and now I can not root her phone.
I tried Z4. I tried SuperOneclick (more than one version ) I had usb debugging on, and I tried a manual method i found here on the forums (it basically contained adb usage, as of pushing the files, and then changing the permissions of the exploit and running it)
And now I am out of ideas, as I use Samsung Galaxy didnt think about problems with flashing another rom (anything can be done with Odin).
I want to put miui on her phone, but i dont see it possible without root.
Her software versions are :
system version
version.34.164.3.MB525.Retail.en.FR
model number:
MB525
Firmware version:
2.2.2
Baseband version:
EPU93_U_00.59.00
Kernel version:
[email protected]#1
BPflex version:
UCAJRDNEMARAB1B80AA03A.0R
APflex version:
GAS_EMEA_USAJRDNFRYORTFR_P014
Build number:
3.4.2-164
I think motorola patched the rageagainstthecage exploit in that update. =/
Any idea how to get rid of this rom, where i can use the exploit?
Yea, I can not downgrade, since it was an official upgrade, probably not downgradable....
Any any any idea please?
Thank you in advance to you guys.

You can try gingerbreak or flash clockwork recovery through fastboot

Hey, Thanks!
Well SuperOneClick uses the psneuter exploit now, the newer one that I tried also. And It also didn't work. =/

Weird, superoneclick worked when I updated to 2.2.2

Did you enabled "debug usb" mode?

You could reflash the rom and try to root afterwards. personaly i never had problems with rooting my defy.
i followed the steps from this thread

If you read my whole post, yes, I did enable debug mode during the whole process.

Did you use a "portal mode":
from SuperOneClick thread-
Make sure you DO NOT mount your SD card.

Yep

To be honest, I don't remember. But I suppose not mounting the SD card is to make it possible to copy the exploit on the phone. That I could do.
I wish my girlfriend still would be here. (We live on different continents...)
She is kinda lazy for these things, but ill make her try a few things out.
The portal mode -you referred to -, is the charge only mode, i suppose.
Maybe i will try to extract the newer exploit from SuperOneClick, and just do what i have to manually.....
This thing is very annoying. =/

i updated to 2.2.2,i found i had to use superoneclick twice and on the second time it rooted

Can you tell me.....

Can you tell me, which Superoneclick did you use, and how exactly? Oh, and which exploit?
Thank you in advance.

The "portal mode" is on the top of list (then connected USB, there 4 items - portal mode; charging; SD mount; none (if I remembered correct))

when I updated to 2.2.2, first I tried z4root - that didn't work. Then I tried SOC 1.9.1, it rooted OK, but failed on "not marked apps". After day or two there was v 1.9.5 and this do a job on "not market apps"

For me

For me SOC failed every version of it i tried. Z4 was trying but then exited, and nothing happened. Then I went on with pushing the files and the exploit onto the phone, and running the exploit by hand. Well, I didnt get root shell back there either, so I couldnt proceed. That is when I decided to open this topic.

I believe SuperOneClick has two exploits in it, this psneuter, and a certain 'rageagainstthecage'.
Did you try this one?

I used

[Q] Cant root 2.3.5

Hi
I have upgraded my u8800 from 2.2.1 to the official 2.3.5. Now im trying to root the phone so i can flash a custom ROM. It was rooted before i upgraded it but it seemed to reset after the upgrade. Im trying to use SuperOneClick 2.3.3.0 but after i press root and it says "[+] Killing ADB and restarting as root... enjoy!" and i tryed to reboot the phone still isnt rooted. I installed an app from the marked called root check basic to check if it was rooted but it said it wasnt.
Any help in rooting the phone would be apprecieated(i have no idea if i spelled that right)!
EDIT: Got it working after i installed superuser from the marked before i ran superoneclick.

I cant root either!
SuperOneClick Crashes every time I press Root -.- please any kind of help?
(Ive installed superuser from my phone!)

Use ZergRush method to root.

sorry for being noob but what does it mean? its something for SOC or its another program?

I have been trying to root a Sidekick 4G for two days now. But the only process that I could find to do it that was currently updated was SuperOneClick. I am posting this to hopefully help others that might be stuck somewhere along the process because in my extensive searches, I have found so many people that were stuck at the same places I was, but noone seemed to have any answers other than re-install the drivers. Well I installed and re-installed the drivers about 10 times; downloading them from various websites.
Problems that I had:
- My Samsung drivers would install part of the way or not all all
Finally, what worked for me was to DL KIES from the Samsung Website. I installed KIES and let it fix the drivers for me! I was then able to get past the 2nd line in SuperOneClick where it was waiting for ADB but now...
- I was getting stuck at Step 5 in SuperOneClick and sometimes at step 7
What I found was that my virus software (Bitdefender) was deleting the exploits as soon as I started the root process! Even though I thought that I had shut down Bitdefender (in MSCONFIG) when I went back into MSCONFIG to check I found that Bitdefender was turning itself back on!
I found that there was a way in the settings within BD to turn off the autovirus scan for a short period of time. Once I had it all turned off, I unzipped SOC again (because BD apparently couldn't see the zipped up files and never deleted those). I reran SuperOneClick, then it finally worked!!!
Hopefully this helps someone from spending the hours & hours that I did trying to find the solution.

SuperOneClick stuck on step 5 for me too.

SuperOneClick uses ZergRush. Why would it matter?
Anyway, when mine was stuck at step 5, it did finally clear. You just have to wait.

Every firmware for the MS2 is rootable with Cydia Impactor, even the ones on BL4.
It's easier now

This worked for me. Couldn't have been easier.

Always used SuperOneClick to root my ML2.
Please, check this items:
- User Debugging Mode
- Motorola Flash Interface (on Device manager of your computer), if not show this, will not work well.
With your device manager opened, click on Root button and check if your cell loses connection when stopped at chmod command.
The SuperoneClick uses the zergrush tool and seems like a exploit by anti-spyware softwares. Make sure that you disable when runs the SuperOneClick.

[Q] my old unroot method (SuperOneClick) not working anymore

Hi all,
I'm using the latest build of quarx cm10 image, 20130110.
I've got an app that only runs on unrotted devices (Excitor DME).
In the past I was able to use SuperOneClick 2.3.3 to unroot my defy again after having installed an update. Now however it stopped working, but it's dependened on the quarx image. In older images that functioned smoothly, now it just stops.
Superoneclick now also hands out a warning: "Automatic version check failed. Is your OS version 2.0 or higher?"
Now I'm not dependend on SuperOneClick, it was just a simple tool I used. If there's another way I can unroot my Defy, I'd be glad to learn from you.
Nevertheless I attached the window output from SuperOneClick to this post.
Thanks for your help in advance
Alex

Hi,
could someone please just point me to the right direction?
Maybe I've overseen the obvious but please give me a hint on how to solve this.
thanks a lot!

I dunno if superoneclick can manage with custom ROM. You can try one of the apps which can do the root/unroot from inside but I am not shure if work.

If someone's interested in it, the solution for me was to use the "SuperSU" app. Installed it, removed root access inside the app, uninstalled the app and that's it. DME is now working as expected.
Also tried "Hide my root" but this didn't help at all.
Cheers!

Hi I've tried using SuperSU and it didn't worked.
I've also made sure that the Kernel I was using doesn't re-root the device on boot.
DME is still detecting root access
I'm using cyanogenmod 9.1
Which rom are you using ?
Can please someone else help on bypass dme excitor root detection?
Thanks in advance!

Hi I'm using Quarx' latest CM10 image (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1768702)
I installed Super SU and in the propertys I found an option (sorry, unsure what it was called exactly) to uninstall root. I hit that option and it also uninstalled Super SU. Finally, DME didn't recognize any sort of root any more.
See if you can find that option as well and use it the way described. If it's not working for you, it might be something within the kernel/mod/image you're using. Maybe you should give Quarx mod a try, it's working quite well! :fingers-crossed:
