RC30 with root - success

---

Update: I'd recommend using the full update found here instead - it's less likely to fail than this one based on the patch update.

I've managed to build a working RC30 update that retains root via adb shell. Much of the credit goes to the people in this thread. All I did was build an updated boot.img with ro.secure set to 0, and reinsert it into the RC30 update.

Installing it will require the modded RC29 recovery image found in that thread.

A warning: if you've modified any files that are patched in the RC30 update, bad things will happen. Also, I had to disable the version check, so if you attempt to apply the update to anything but RC29, bad things will happen. I'm not responsible if your phone is bricked, bursts into flames, or even starts walking around on it's own and attacks you.

Modified RC30 update

did you have any trouble installing it? I will give it a try later today.

1 question, so theres no root on the phone Only by adb?

Edit:2 questions have you try to put busybox on?

It worked fine for me. Just follow the manual firmware update procedure, and it should work, as long as you're already running the modified RC29.

Yeah, it closes the root console bug. However, once you have root via adb, you can do pretty much anything you want, including create a new suid root shell.

yes thats all i need to know disregard my edit

it dose not work I'm stuck! i got some sort of error

It won't let me mount the SD card... gonna ask in the other thread

What was the error exactly? Did it come at the recovery screen when you first tried to update, or later? Is your phone still working?
