Unable to Haz Root (log attached)

chrisrotolo · May 2, 2011

I got a new x10 from Best Buy Mobile as a loaner phone, running 1.6 on AT&T fresh out of the box. followed the ATT thread to go to 2.1 using flash tool.
I have tried nearly everything to root it, flash tool tells me phone should be rooted after reboot, it isnt, X10root.apk fails, superoneclick fails (maybe adb related & not sure why.. had adb path set up properly and shows device id, but says protocol error?), z4root doesnt even get temp root.

Im on generic 2.1 x10a , this wall all done on my win 7 64 bit laptop. I will try via adb on my computer at work running win xp later today, but the root .apks should have rooted, I dont understand why.

I will post a log for you guys to check out, Im not a n00b, but not an expert either.

I may have the phone for a week or a month, while my other LCD is repaired.
Thanks everyone!

Go for root !

I just want to flash a gingerbread ROM of course, but I will need xrecovery right? which isnt installing without root.

Unless its possible for me to flash a new rooted rom without xrecovery, I uppose that will work although it might be dangerous.

I'll post back as soon as I can.

kmaximax · May 2, 2011

use the latest version of superoneclick and make sure you have USB debugging enabled

if you have rooted with flash tool you do not need to do anything else it will be rooted you dont need x10root or other one click apk apps as flash tool rooted your phone

test it with a tool that requires root such as adfree or terminal emulator

chrisrotolo · May 2, 2011

flash tool says success with root, but its not rooted, as i cant install busybox, says not rooted and entering su in terminal says permission denied

please help!

try using SuperOneClick here

failing that use SuperOneClickv1.5.5 here

chrisrotolo · May 2, 2011

i already tried the newest SOC, no dice.

ill try the older one too.

I think it may have to do with the drivers, it looks like regular drivers dont work, Im installing the SE developer ones.

but that doesnt really explain why z4root didnt work, and universal androot fails too.

thanks guys. this is killing me.

what firmware are you using on your phone(under about phone) !?

and try the 1.5.5 version make sure when you run it you have USB debugging enabled! (under settings /applications/development ) you may also want to make sure you have UNKNOWN SOURCES checked!

z4 and universal will no longer work after the first version of 2.1! so dont bother with those!

you could also try the root tool that comes with the lastest flashtool

make sure when you root you choose 'connect phone' and not mount for usb storage mode!

chrisrotolo · May 2, 2011

2.1-update 1
build 2.1.a.0.435
2.6.29 SEMCUser@SEMCHost #1
x10a

this is beginning to p1ss me off, I think it must be a driver/adb issue, i did the fix for 64 bit, and now Im on xp and still cant connect to daemon when i say adb devices in cmd. I have the latests drivers, maybe i need to install older ones, maybe these have security?

also what are the signfiles.bat ,etc on my sdcard, they look SE signing tools , like they verify signature, etc.

also tried downloading the new rooting method for 2.1, rootme.tar, but server is unavailable.

yahhhhh! this is nuts!

chrisrotolo · May 2, 2011

adb kill-server and start-server work, so I know my adb is ok, I have android sdk installed. path>adb devices **daemon still not runningerror: cannot connect to daemon, so it has to be the phone or the drivers Im guessing. arrghhh!

chrisrotolo · May 2, 2011

i have tried different usb ports, still nothing!

sopdogg · May 2, 2011

Best way to root, install Xrecovery and JIT enable your phone is via Flash Tool. I'm on AT&T too, and found it rather simple.

Follow the guide found here:
http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1012380

Make sure you have installed java on your computer.
Also, do not mount your SD card. While your phone is on, connect your phone via usb and hit root once your phone is recognized.

I'm not sure if this is necessary for rooting but for flashing purposes you need to connect your phone via pc companion or SEUS. Check to see if you have the latest firmware and set your phone up to flash new firmware. The computer will install flash drivers onto your computer. You don't have to install the latest AT&T firmware if there is one. You just want to have those flash drivers on your PC.

Hope this helps!

chrisrotolo · May 2, 2011

ok, so i was trying to follow the AT&T giude from 1.6 -2.1, which says update then root, should I go back to 1.6 and try universalandroot or z4root, root first, then update? or will I lose root when I update? Thanks guys.

installed PC companion update my driver, but still no adb devices cannot connect to daemon, and SOC 1.5.5 failed

I installed SEUS on my other PC too, didnt seem to change much, drivers were the same.

this is crazy, what should i do guys? use pc companion to repair? go back to 1.6 and try rooting then update??

sopdogg · May 2, 2011

Just use flash tool and press root if you just want to root. You don't have to sideload any apps which is blocked by AT&T anyways.

Update to 2.1 in order to install xrecovery. Once done updating, root it afterwards by pressing the root button on flash tool. No need to go back to 1.6 just to root. Just follow the guide and then you can install any rom you want. The Agent got your back.

sopdogg · May 3, 2011

Ok, so I re-read your thread. Let me summarize what I know.
1. Flash tool says you have root after your phone rebooted
2. You can not install busybox via flash tool

It might be that your phone is already rooted. If you tried to install busybox or xrecovery through flash tool and have seen that the advanced options are greyed out, it is because you need to press "ask root permissions" and then accept on your phone.

Also check to see if superuser is working correctly, Install Titanium backup to check. Install it from the marketplace open it up. A box should pop up saying "Allow Root Access"?
If so, then you have done it correctly.

I'm not keen with all the coding so I don't know how to read those logs you have noted.

Try pressing root again on flash tool and let it reboot, let me know what you see afterwards.

chrisrotolo · May 3, 2011

TYhanks for the help , I appreciate it guys.
im at my home laptop with win7 64 bit and adb devices shows serial number connected. adb push gives me cannot connect to daemon error, and super one click fails. I have busybox and superuser .apks installed from astro but both not "fully" installed without root. I know how to check for root, and I do not have it even when flashtool tells me I should. Really strange. what is going on??

ok, didnt want to do it, but im going to try the old way, with the 3 .bat files, is this a good idea? wish me luck! (if i can find clearer instructions)

cant go to sony ericsson unlock bootlloader online with IMEI, becuase its a loaner and says invalid IMEI... *double facepalm*!

sopdogg · May 3, 2011

I had those same issues with my 64bit windows 7 too. I think it has to do with Java and how adb tools works better with 32 bit. Troubleshooting your computer and phone might be the way to go.

Make sure on your phone you have usb debugging clicked via Settings>applications>Development. Also, just for the hell of it, click unknown sources.

Make sure on your computer, UAC/User Access Controls is turned off. If you recently installed java, reboot your computer.

After reboot, restart cmd and get into your adb folder. Type adb devices. Should show if you have your phone connected/computer recognizes your phone.

Start over with new download of Flash Tool and 2.1.A.0.435 ftf firmware.

chrisrotolo · May 3, 2011

this is terrible!

will try to reflash the 2.1 update again.

relashed fine, without rebooting, ran Root option from flashtool, says should be rooted after reboot, havent rebooted yet, but definetly no root.

F%ck! after flash tool finishes and reboot still zilch! I dont think flashtool is installing superuser, here's a log, man this is awful!

chrisrotolo · May 3, 2011

24 hour bump! hopeless

agentJBM · May 3, 2011

Hate to say it, but it sounds like a isolated issue. Thousands of people used the flash tool and superoneclick successfully. Are you sure you selected the next tab, "root permissions" after root? You need to do that to install SuperUser and Busybox.

Also, antivirus should be disabled.
