Does anyone know of an ongoing effort to root the Cliq?

[keenerb]

I'd like to toss my hat in the ring if anybody needs a guinea pig.

I've tried asroot2 and some of the other Behold2/etc. rooting guides, but when I run this:

./data/local/try3 /system/bin/sh

I get this:

[1] Killed ./data/local/try3 /system/bin/sh

And nothing seems to work.

thats the same thing we get on the droid with this. Might want to check other forums, as most people that get the cliq are not gonna check xda, at least i wouldnt think they would. The owners of the Droid have our own forums now, as well as a couple Google waves on the subject of rooting our device and an irc channel.

sigh... if only XDA could have become the home of Android (heck all of their other forums are empty!)
suffice to say - I am working on building a ROM for cliq using the source
but to begin to do any testing, I need root lol
Where are the forums you guys use?

:) was going to start a thread to put the link for the source code, but since you already have it, i'll put the link here for other people to stumble across.

I'm not to familiar with linux or source codes and such. But someone had mentioned in another forum I came across that the source code may have a clue about gaining root. Maybe its in how the programing would interact with the SPL? Does the O/S need some kind of permission from the SPL to run with the hardware? It is the SPL that is blocking/locking down root right? So if the OS needs ROOT to be able to run, then shouldn't there be some code in the source that ask's the SPL for permission for root? And if so, once we have that lil' bit o' code, it can be ran via a script and/or ADB? Like trick the SPL into thinking its the O/S asking for ROOT?

Many of us do have the CLIQ. I would be more than happy to be both a guinea pig as well, and donate $ to whomever can figure this out. The extra RAM on the CLIQ and the glass screen make it so much nicer than the G1 + MyTouch, pending it ever gets rooted...

I've been trying to follow the CLIQ root as closely as possible.

A guy has an image the equivalent of the dreamimg.nbh used to root g1s recovery mode looks for this file and will apply it if found automaticly.
He said its rooted and ready to run, the difference is with the g1 we had the developer keyset which we replaced the original one on that came with our phones so they would ignore OTA updates (since the keys don't match) and so they would take updates that are signed with the PUBICLY available keyset the OTA keyset we don't have...

So to get to the problem, the rooted update can't be applied unless the "moto keyset" gets leaked or a developers keyset exists and it is possible to change it with the secured version of fastboot, which it seems is also the reason goldcard exploits (and others) didn't work.

Does Moto offer a "developers" cliq? Id assume not or we would have the keyset, but I dunno if the keyset is unavailable or if there is a problem in using the key to sign the package?

Anyway that's how I see it with all the searching I've done about this topic, I would also give up all the blurbloat for a stock cyanogen googglyfone.

I've run into two people who have rooted thier cliqs using this guild. one attempted to unroot to enable OTA for the 2.1 release, the other rooted and tried to update the radio via the moto update.zip

both involved the moto update.zip

reroot your cliq, defang the moto update.zip by removing recovery.img and boot.img from the zip file before flashing, all worries should be gone.

new radio witch addresses the clock conflict and keeps your cliq rooted with recovery
