Hey Guys,
I Clockwork3'd my Aria, but I wanted to update my sources (thread 730398) so I can get non market apps. When I follow the instructions in that post I get an error:
Code:
./adb remount
remount failed: operation not permitted
'adb devices' does show my Aria's SN, I'm su'd and I'm running in debug mode. I also chowned everything in the android sdk tools and its subdirectories.
Here's the question -
In searching, I found (thread 614645) that suggested ro.secure wasn't set properly, and sure enough if I do:
Code:
./adb shell
$ getprop ro.secure
1
$
Shouldn't applying clockwork have set that properly? Would the instructions at (thread 8041739 post 9 ) be the right steps to resolve this on an Aria?
Thanks!
PS - sorry I can't post direct links.
if you have all the drivers installed, it should work...
which OS are you using?? (Mac, Win7, etc)
dont rund SDK command in Clockwork, with phone on connect data cable and select "charge only" when asked.
the ./ command is used for Linux i think, i never got that command to work either. just go to the folder where SDK/Tools is located in CMD prompt or Terminal(depending on the OS) and run the following command:
adb remount
hope this helps a bit
I had a lot of issues with driver installs on Windows 7, so I'm doing this on a netbook with Ubuntu netbook remix. Also tried the reflash CD, similar issue.
Right, so with Ubuntu, and the cable my phone came with (have tried a few others just in case)
1. phone on and operational
2. plug in to laptop
3. phone gives happy USB connected and Charge Only notifications
4. fire up terminal window, and su
5. type ./adb remount
and I get the error above. If I do kill-server to refresh it, I get the demon starting successfully on port 5037.
Yeah, I was hoping I'd just missed something stupid. Should I need to modify the boot.img file outside of what Clockwork did?
My symptoms match those described in thread 685146 post #3, however, I've only applied Clockwork (which seems to work) not done anything else funky.
I have my windows 7 machine at the same point now -
adb remount gives 'remount failed: operation not permitted'
and
getprop ro.secure at the adb shell returns 1.
I think this means there's something wrong on the phone, if both machines act the same.
One other data point, I noticed the new Superuser Permissions app that installing clockwork gave me is asking to give superuser permissions to /system/bin/sh when I try to run the adb shell, but it doesn't trigger that when I do the adb remount.
Not sure what this means, any ideas most welcome - TIA!
steps here fixed it, thanks - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=730398
It's not pretty, but I managed to get the exploit used by Archangel to work on the 2.3.20 firmware. Hopefully someone can think of something to automate this process, or knows of a better way to do this.
I believe what Archos is doing is simply restricting your ability to execute the Archangel application in the required directories, with the addition of the psneuter exploit, you can get around this.
This exploit requires that you have ADB setup, the Archangel APK, and the psneuter exploit.
Create a folder on your computer titled archosroot (or anything you would like)
Download Archangel from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=928767 rename the apk to zip and extract the files.
From the extracted files navigate to "res" then to "raw"
In this folder copy "ls" and "su" to your "archosroot" folder
Download psneuter from http://www.thinkthinkdo.com/trac/project1/attachment/wiki/psneuter/psneuter.zip and extract the files.
Copy the extracted psneuter to your "archosroot" folder.
Enable USB Debugging on your Archos, and connect it to your computer with USB.
From a command prompt, navigate to the directory ADB is installed in.
Verify that the device is connected by running
adb devices
Your archos should be listed, if not please refer to the forum on how to setup ADB for the archos
Once your archos is detected run the following commands.
adb push pathto\archosroot\psneuter /data/local/tmp
(replace pathto with the location your archosroot folder is in, for example c:\archosroot\psneuter)
adb shell chmod 777 /data/local/tmp/psneuter
adb shell /data/local/tmp/psneuter
This may take a few moments
Copy ls and su to your sdcard
adb push pathto\archosroot\ls /sdcard
adb push pathto\archosroot\su /sdcard
Connect to the shell
adb shell
move ls and su to /tmp
mv /sdcard/ls /tmp/
mv /sdcard/su /tmp/
Execute the ls exploit
/tmp/ls 0x62c7a315 0x260de680
Install the superuser application from the market (if you don't already have it)
You should now be able to run su to get root access from a terminal.
Note 1: I was previously rooted with archangel so I already had these files, I have not tried without the files being installed at all, however since this is only a temp root, the process should be the same.
Note 2: I was not able to get Titanium Backup to work, it could be the psneuter exploit prevents the application from properly requesting the right permissions.
This is good, but you should post this in the developer sup-forum
its too hard to do this for beginners
Thanks! It's very simple instruction, will try it today. As easy as install Urukdroid.
I postponed to upgrage to 2.3.20 just due to lack of root method without SDK.
I need the root just for copy some scripts to \system\bin
this has already been done in the following thread with perm root.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=897877
Firmwares have already been made that include overclock as well, the first post reveals all.
cool.
the_Danzilla , the way you pointed to requires SDE installation. I don't want to use SDE.

From what I can read psneuter is a root exploit for the adbd service. So you don't need archangel to complete the root.
Can you verify what user adbd is running after you execute psneuter.
adb shell whoami
The other thing that is mentioned in the first lines of the source code of psneuter is that it effectively disables reading the settings this will probably affect a lot of programs and probably is the reason Titanium backup is not working. So this method is effectively useless to have a working root.

I was doing some more looking and you are right that because of breaking the settings this is not a good long term root.
However I would not call it useless, since you should be able to manually back up an application.
Perhaps the property file that this setting is in can be modified with this, so that it can be rooted using a more standard method.
Not sure what I did, but I was able to get root with the properties intact.
My archos had froze today and I was forced to power it off so I know the properties were no longer be neutered. I was looking at some of the properties files and for the heck of it I tried running su from a terminal, and it worked.
I opened Titanium backup and it prompted for root permissions.
Perhaps something about the forced power cycle?
I found out that when I connect to a wireless network (as required by archangel) if the disable network shares option is chosen it's not possible to root.
However it would appear that if you connect and don't select this option Archangel will still work.
I suppose there could be something else I did without realizing it, but this has worked after rebooting 5 times so far.
I can use a computer to temproot my Gingerbread 2.34 G2/Desire Z
I run this batch file and to Re Root, (root fades off after a while) I run the lines in RED and it works again as rooted.
adb wait-for-device
adb push ./fre3vo /data/local/tmp
adb shell chmod 777 /data/local/tmp/fre3vo

adb remount

adb shell chmod 755 /data/local/tmp/fixsu.sh
adb shell /data/local/tmp/fixsu.sh

Is there anyone who knows of a local application that would act like adb but DOES NOT NEED THE PHONE TO BE HOOKED UP TO A COMPUTER ? If not, is there anyone who could get something written that would do the red commands on the phone without having to use adb and a computer? (When I use Connect Bot or Terminal Emulator, I get access denied, but the same commands via ADB succeeds... I don't know why.) That'd really make the TempRoot very usable when the user is on the road, and away from a computer. I really think the super smart android afficionados in our forum would easily be able to cobble something that we all could use, Like Visionary... Thank you for reading this, and thank you even more if you can tell us how to do it on the phone, or even writing a one button job that accomplishes this.
Aloha from Hawaii !
fre3vo is an adb exploit, thats why it only works in abd.
one thing you could try is, after running fixsu.sh for the first time through adb, open a terminal session, gain root access in it (type 'su') and then leave that in the background until you need to run fixsu.sh again.

Can I just ask why you want to have temp root over perm root? Nothing wrong with it but maybe there are other solutions out there
It took some doing, but after following the instructions in this link:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2559915
I was finally able to root my Nook Glowlight. The instructions are kind of sprawled out and extremely unclear so I will sum up.
As always, you will need the ADB. In order to install the ADB, you need the Java Development Kit and the Android Studio (formerly known as the Android SDK)
http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/index.html
http://developer.android.com/sdk/installing/studio.html
How to obtain root via ADB: The ONLY way you can root is using Windows. I was successful on Windows 7 32 bit, but it may be possible on other versions.
step 1) install bootloader driver.
You need to grab the drivers from here (bnusbdrivers.zip):
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=49665945&postcount=279&nocache=1&z=184593200683593
then, open the Device Manager (on Windows). Be ready to right click on the new device 'omap3660' that shows.
With the nook turned completely off, plug in a USB cable. you will have less than 3 seconds to right click the new omap3660 device that shows up in the system profiler.
If you were successful and you right clicked on it in time, manually install the Barnes & Noble USB driver (there are entries added to the generic Google drivers for both the TI Omap 3660 bootloader and the ADB device after you modify the uRamdisk later on)
***NOTE***
If you WEREN'T successful on your first try (took me THREE times to get to it in time), you aren't going to get another chance to install the drivers. At least not easily anyway, because after Windows tries to automatically install the drivers for the bootloader and fails, it will disregard the device any time it shows up after that. So, you are going to need to delete the registry entries that it created, which in my experience was easier said than done. Even admin access was not sufficient to make the necessary changes to the registry.
You will need to launch regedit.exe using another tool called psexec which is available here:
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb897553.aspx
after you download the pstools package, copy those .exe files to C:\Windows\System32\ (in order to add them to $PATH in cmd.exe)
Then, once you've installed the pstools commands to C:\Windows\System32\, run cmd.exe as admin (right click it and select 'run as administrator') and then open regedit.exe with the following command
Code:
psexec -s -i -d regedit.exe
Then, once regedit is open you need to find the keys created by the Nook bootloader and delete them. The Nook bootloader's device ID is 0451:d00e
You are going to be looking in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Current Control Set\enum\usb\ for the keys with the bootloader's device IDs. There may also be keys generated in control set 001 and 002 as well. Delete all of those keys and then reboot your computer. Then with the nook power off completely, repeat the process from the first step. eventually you will be successful installing the bootloader driver.
Step 2) temporarily boot with uRamdisk-noogie
you need to download omaplink.exe from here:
http://www.temblast.com/android.htm
and you also need to download the four files which allow you to temporarily mount the boot partition; omap3_aboot.bin, u-boot-ng2-exp-v03.bin, uImage-ng2-130-stk and uRamdisk-noogie.
They are available here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=49779966&postcount=285
download usbboot-ng2-images-noogie-v1.zip
The next part is easy.
Extract the .zip file and then fire up cmd.exe. cd into the directory of the newly extracted .zip
in the new working directory, enter the command
Code:
omaplink omap3_aboot.bin u-boot-ng2-exp-v03.bin uImage-ng2-130-stk uRamdisk-noogie
Then, with the Nook powered all the way off and omaplink running, plug it in and a few seconds later, after the device boots up all the way, you will be looking at the contents of the boot partition instead of the internal storage like normal.
Step 3) Edit uRamdisk
you will need to download bootutil.exe from here
http://www.temblast.com/android.htm
copy bootutil.exe to C:\Windows\System32
with the boot partition mounted, copy uRamdisk to your computer and extract the files init.rc and default.prop, eg;
Code:
bootutil /x /v uRamdisk init.rc default.prop
then using notepad++ (available here: http://notepad-plus-plus.org/) edit the files as follows
default.prop
ro.secure=0
ro.allow.mock.location=1
ro.debuggable=1
persist.service.adb.enable=1
and
init.rc
comment out lines 375 and 392-399
(do this by adding a # to the beginning of the line)
uncomment line 215
(do this by deleting the # at the beginning of the line)
save both files and then repack them into uRamdisk
Code:
bootutil /r /v uRamdisk init.rc default.prop
copy uRamdisk back onto the Nook, eject the disk and power off the device. Reboot and you should be able to connect to ADB via WiFi
eg;
Code:
adb connect 192.168.0.10
replacing '10' with whatever IP your Nook is grabbing from your router.
Step 4) Full Root
at this point, you have root access via ADB only. You will not have root access in any apps like Root Explorer, Terminal, TiBackup, etc.
In order to finish PROPERLY rooting your Nook, you need to install 'su' to /system/bin/ and install the superuser.apk
Code:
adb connect 192.168.0.10
adb shell mount -o remount, rw /system
adb push su /system/bin/
adb shell chmod 6755 /system/bin/su
adb install superuser.apk
reboot your device one more time and then you will be fully rooted.
*** Note ***
this devices firmware seems to be a strange hybrid between donut and eclair, although it purports itself to be Android 2.1. The Superuser.apk and su binary came from an old Cyanogenmod 4.6 build in case anyone was wondering (Android Donut). The ones from Cyanogenmod 5 (Android Eclair) do not work. you will get the 'install failed older sdk' error.
installing busybox
I tired installing busybox by using the stericson busybox pro.apk. It would always freeze at 6.47%.
I figured out that if I grabbed an older version of the busybox binary and pushed it to /system/xbin manually and then chmodded it to the proper permissions, auto updates and proper symlinking work using the busybox app
Code:
adb shell mount -o remount, rw /system
adb shell mkdir -p /system/xbin
adb push busybox /system/xbin
adb shell chmod 6755 /system/xbin/busybox
adb install busybox.apk
Then reboot, and run the busybox app to update and create symlinks.
enjoy!
installing nano and bash
Code:
adb connect 192.168.0.10
adb shell
mount -o remount, rw /system
adb push nano /system/xbin/
chmod 6755 /system/xbin/nano
adb push bash /system/xbin/
chmod 6755 /system/xbin/bash
bash
mv /system/bin/sh /system/bin/sh.bak
ln -s /system/xbin/bash /system/bin/sh
chmod 6755 /system/bin/sh
adb push profile /system/etc/
adb push terminfo /system/etc/
and then in terminal emulator under 'Preferences' change the initial command to
Code:
export TERMINFO=/system/etc/terminfo;export TERM=linux;export HOME=/sdcard;
and finally
Code:
adb push bashrc /sdcard
adb shell
mv /sdcard/bashrc /sdcard/.bashrc
exit
nano works just fine via ADB, but because of lack of 'ctrl' key (and physical buttons to assign it to) you won't be able to write files (ctrl+o) using the terminal on your nook. But between having full proper root access, busybox, a proper bash terminal emulator and nano for editing config files, this should REALLY extend the usefulness of your Nook Glowlight. It should work just fine on other versions of Nook too.
Hi N00b-un-2,
Many thanks for your summary!
There is one important edit that I think you missed,
in init.rc you also need to:
Line #375, comment out "disabled" with a # at the start of the line.
(see http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=49070213#post49070213)
without this I couldn't get adb to connect.
And since you already made it very noob friendly, might I suggested you clarify:
Line #215 remove # to enable adb over wifi
(rather than search for 5555)
Also, I'm not expert, but I believe the commands to get superuser on the device are (at least it worked for me):
adb connect 192.168.x.x
adb shell mount -o remount, rw /system
adb push su /system/bin/
adb shell chmod 6755 /system/bin/su
adb install superuser.apk
Finally, I'm not sure if this is important, but maybe remount system as read only again:
adb shell mount -o remount, ro /system
Thanks again, nice work!
---------- Post added at 01:48 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:10 PM ----------
Hi again,
had similar issues with installing busybox, here's what worked for me (note needed to run su to create dir):
adb shell mount -o remount, rw /system
adb shell /system/bin/su
adb shell mkdir -p /system/xbin
adb push busybox /system/xbin
adb shell chmod 6755 /system/xbin/busybox
adb install busybox.apk
cheers.
As far as remounting /system as ro, I would HIGHLY recommend just rebooting at this point, otherwise your nook might be stuck in a weird pseudo-rooted state. Probably won't cause any problems, but why risk it?
Thanks for clarifying the line number. I will make the appropriate edits to my instructions. I was working off the top of my head and couldn't remember what exact line the ADB over TCP config was, as I just used ctrl+w '5555' to find it myself.
There are several pre-edited uRamdisk images floating around the forum with various features enabled which would be easier for noobs than extracting the config files and manually editing and then repacking them. In the future I'll probably throw those on here as well.

Sorry for the really noob question, I have rooted, wifi adb running and installed apps as per your instructions, but I can't seem to access any of it on the nook. How can I get access to the launcher I installed?
You mentioned pre-edited images, do any of those come with the apps I need to get access to a custom launcher?
Cheers,

Updated: All sorted

For some reason had some issues with ADW launcher, Launcher pro worked fine.
ps I think I made a mistake with the su step I suggested, if you run a one line shell command I don't think it keeps su privileges, so I believe you need to run commands within the shell as per below:
adb shell
mount -o remount, rw /system
/system/bin/su
mkdir -p /system/xbin
exit
adb push busybox /system/xbin
adb shell chmod 6755 /system/xbin/busybox
adb install busybox.apk

Hey guys any instructions noob friendly or a video in youtube,i stick up at dab connect 192.168.0.10.I dos't have a Windows PC and using Mac whit Parallels Desktop.Is it possible instructions for Mac?
The above instructions from N00b-un-2 should work fine running a vm with parallels on your Mac.

Before you perform the adb connect step you need to find out what your IP address is:
On your nook, click on the settings icon in the top right corner and then select "Change"
Under Wireless Networks, select the wifi name that you are already connected to (where it says "Connected to the internet")
This will display your connection details, remember that IP address
Now go back to your pc and type:
adb connect [IP address]

BIG HINT! If you're using Powershell ISE, you have to type .\adb.exe connect [IP address] or else it won't recognize "adb" as an executable!
Don't ask why, because I don't know. :?

But that's okay! What I said was, if you are using the command program Powershell ISE, do it that way instead. But you are just using cmd.exe, not Powershell ISE!
In cmd.exe, which is what you are using, it is not neccessary to type .\adb.exe. Just type adb.
From there, ask someone else in this thread.

I prefer to use ConEmu or Console2 when I am forced to use Windows. Not a big fan of CMD.EXE or Powershell/PowershellISE. there are plenty of other CLI alternatives out there

Well, as I ONLY use Windows and Powershell ISE has a nice-enough layout for my purposes, I use it. That's why I gave a tip on it.
Actually on a lot of installs just typing adb in the command console won't work either unless it's got the path variable set up correctly, I find it easiest to just right click and choose run as administrator, no need for the path to be setup.

This rooting procedure is for the new Nook GlowLight with firmware 1.3.1. Your device is a Nook Simple Touch with GlowLight, which can be rooted very easily using the rooting package here.
