Easier 1-2-3 Droid 2 Root for Windows / Linux / Mac

blustosa · Sep 22, 2010

Hey all,

I just followed the steps and I keep getting the message "adb is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file".

I tried with PC Mode, with Charge only, nothing, it keeps giving me that same message. I have updated the drivers, I followed the steps and all.

May this have anything to do with the fact I use ADW home instead of original home?

Any help is very much so appreciated.

Your computer is possessed man. . I mean, if it is in the same folder as adb, it should find it, if it can't find it in the same folder...it is something I would have to remote in to look at or be sitting in front of to troubleshoot. I mean, if it ran once, it should run again.

Maybe darkonion can swoop in on this one. I know he has remoted in to help others.

Sure, I can help. I will PM you Gtalk info.

You don't have android-sdk or you didn't put the files where you are suppose to.

You need to put the files from the DoRoot zip file into the tools folder of android-sdk.

Are you running the batch file from inside the SDK/tools folder? It will not be able to find it unless it is in the same folder as adb.

Or if adb is in your environmental variables, but that is a bit complicated for a lot of people. I am just trying to get the basics right now.

Having a little bit of trouble curious if anyone has suggestions. I had a rooted 2.1 Droid X, did the official OTA update this morning and lost root so I'm attempting this method. I have ADB connection and USB debugging all working. The root process seems to be going fine but I get stuck with an error message here

Code:

Remounting system as RW

Copying files to system
-->Superuser.apk
-->su
-->busybox


Rooting failed.
ERROR 06: Failed to give proper permissions system files.

Enter exit once to exit terminal.

Reset everything and attempted again with the same results. Not sure what to try from here.

Hmm, if it got that far, you were almost rooted. Are you on windows? I think I need to put some waits in between those steps. PM if you are on windows, mac, or linux and give me your email, I will modify the script for you to hopefully push past this for you, or if you got that far and want to finish it manually I can tell you how.

Or hit me up. I like to take a look.

Yeah, a guy earlier never got busybox (chmod I guess), but it appeared to do everything else. I once saw myself it not remount system as RW because the media was busy. So, I think putting waits in between these steps will allow for the system to finish writing and be ready for the next step.

I have a new sleepy set of scripts I am sending to darkonion.

The script will sleep for a little in between each copy and each time we set a permission. This will give the media ample time to do the next task. I would rather this take a couple seconds longer, than have issues not completing tasks.

Seems like Brian problem is due to the rage exploit. The exploit seems to kick him out a little fast. A little skeptical about this, I asked him to check adb shell where he got the $ prompt. Asked him to run ./rage again and that didn't help. Kicked out again, but this time, it gave a device error. Said device not connected or something. It was weird because you run adb device and the device is listed.

Odd. What phone is he running this on? This is all strange...does he have the moto drivers. The phone may sorta work without them, but does he have them?

I can never get anything to work on my mac's terminal, and when i open terminal it always spits this out at me:

Last login: Wed Sep 22 13:32:52 on ttys000
-bash: sdkfolder: No such file or directory
-bash: sdkfolder: No such file or directory
Drew:~ Drew$

not critical, but I am going to change the cp commands in the script in the future from "cp" to "cp -f". In case there is a failure during the copying of system files, the script may return an error if it tries to copy a file on top of the existing file.

"-f" will force the copy to occur and not return an error. This will allow people to complete the script in this rare occurrence. With the new waits in place, this may never be an issue, but I want to make sure. I just helped a guy in this scenario before I released the new scripts.

You are going to have to be more specific. What do you enter to get that output?

That's the exact error I get

When did you first try this, earlier today. And would you be willing to be a test rat for a new script? I think I know how to fix your issue.

If so, PM your email and tell me if you are Windows, Mac, or Linux.

I helped the last guy manually fix his, but I think I can get the script to correct this.

It took a few tries (it failed twice) but it worked! Thank you so much!

Cool, then I will get this fix to darkonion tonight.

Hmm, I think I'm in trouble. I rooted using Linux 1 step and it worked fine. I tried to install the new leaked update 2 2..3.1.5 update because I need corporate sync without PIN and now I get stuck at the M logo on boot. I've tried battery pulls, hard reset with factory wipe/reset and nothing is working. I think maybe I did something wrong or out of order

Where can I find something that may fix this?
thanks

EDITED: When I get to the reset screen I see E:Can't open /cache/recovery/command
