[Q] OneClick stuck on "chmod psneuter"

How to manually root. Download and unzip the SuperOneClick zip file and...

This should work:

./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 06755 /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

What OS and software are you running? I had the same problem on Ubuntu 10.10 x64, but was able finish the process by completing it by hand. If your brave enough to use the command line to do the process, I can provide the steps.

gdanko · Feb 23, 2011

Please do, I have most of it down.
su, busybox, Superuser are installed and permissions set, but I still get permission denied when I type "su". What am I missing?

Could you? I have this same problem trying to root on my mac.

I basically have this:

./adbmac push psneuter /data/local/tmp
./adbmac push su-v1 /sdcard/
./adbmac push su-v2 /sdcard/
./adbmac push busybox /sdcard/
./adbmac push Superuser.apk /sdcard/
./adbmac shell
$ busybox chmod +x /data/local/tmp/psneuter
$ /data/local/tmp/psneuter
# exit

./adbmac remount
./adbmac shell

(the following 3 steps may fail which is OK)
# mv /system/bin/su /system/bin/su.bak
# mv /system/xbin/su /system/xbin/su.bak
# mv /system/xbin/busybox /system/xbin/busybox.bak

# busybox cp /sdcard/su-v* /system/xbin
# cd /system/xbin

(try to execute both su-v*, whichever works keep and renamed to su. For this example we'll assume su-v2 is the correct su)
# rm /system/xbin/su-v1
# mv /system/xbin/su-v2 /system/xbin/su
# busybox cp /sdcard/Superuser.apk /system/app
# busybox cp /sdcard/busybox /system/xbin
# busybox chmod 06755 /system/xbin/su
# busybox chown 0.2000 /system/xbin/su
# busybox chmod 0755 /system/xbin/busybox
# busybox chown 0.2000 /system/xbin/busybox
# busybox ln -s /system/xbin/su /system/bin/su

In this steps you put up previously, you missed remount the /system partition rw.

Also, what OS & software are you guys using? I'm curious to find out what is causing this problem, so we can correct it in SuperOneClick.

Whoops, that slipped by. In any case, you can check what /system is mounted on by checking /etc/mtab.

Still getting permission denied when I type su

shawnbuck · Feb 23, 2011

How are you using su directly?

Also, have you installed superuser and root checker from the market?

gdanko · Feb 23, 2011

Add these steps to the end:

# chmod 06755 /system/xbin/su
# chmod 0755 /system/xbin/busybox
# reboot

When the phone is up, adb shell back in
Unlock the phone
Type su in the console
Accept the Superuser prompt

I am now rooted

gdanko · Feb 23, 2011

This should work:

./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 06755 /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

shawnbuck · Feb 23, 2011

I've noticed that the phone doesn't like when you call reboot from the terminal on it.

Also, put the instructions in the first post for anyone in the future.

# busybox chown 0.2000 /system/xbin/busybox
# exit
$ exit
./adbmac install Superuser.apk
./adbmac reboot

Perfect, thanks!

Might want to update chmod command for /system/xbin/su from 06755 to 6755. I found that after copy 'n pasting these, /system/xbin/su wasn't suid and sgid so it would still give the permission denied error when trying to run su from adb shell.

I can confirm this, typing `chmod 06755` doesn't work for me.

Is there a reason we need to set the sgid bit as well?

agentdr8 · Mar 4, 2011

Probably doesn't need setgid but I left it since it was part of the original instructions.
