I tried to make a *,bat file.
It runs so far until to the cd-command in the adb shell.
I thaught about something like this:
adb shell "cd /data/local/tmp"

i've uploaded a new version v4 (which contains a new script doit.sh) which you can execute on the host pc, so the rest is done automatically, perhaps you can look at that and create a pendand batch file.....
it also contains a new binary run_root_sh_script, because it was not possible to automate the whole thing before, because the script automatically stopped when the run_root_shell binary was executed.
hmmm i think you have to explain that to the AiO People, as far as i know there the device is rooted and the su binary should be found...it's in /system/xbin/su...thats where it is by default on android, as far as i know...and since you say you have root, i think it works with the other stuff

thats odd.i tried to make a custom firmware with that tool but got this error message.lol
has anyone in this thread used the AiO successfull after rooting with this method?
after using the root.sh from v3, which puts me out this in the CMD: "Attempt perf_swevent exploit... writing address is 8e09"
i finally get a "#"
But now, continuing the procedure list on page 1 , im stuck "at point 7":
# / Data / local / tmp / busybox mount-o rw, remount / system
even though i know, there are mistakes in the syntax. So i corrected it to this:
"# /data/local/tmp/busybox mount -o rw, remount /system"
and all i get is: "mount: cannot read etc/fstab: No such file or directory.
yes, sadly im a windows user ..... any advice? would be great, thanks in advance.

you can just execute ./root.sh like it's described in the README file, which is accesible for all users on all systems
this should copy all the stuff to the system and do a reboot for you....the error in your syntax is btw, that theres a whitepspace after the , before remount, the line should be
Code:
/data/local/tmp/busybox mount -o rw,remount /systemas far as i know the device has two system partitions, one thats booted normally and a backup partition that is booted when the first does not boot. Perhaps AiO checks both partitions for the root stuff.
I'm gonna have a look at it when i find the time.
Perhaps you can fix your error with re-rooting it with AiO once (if thats possible) i think their root method will root booth partitions, if there is a check for it in there.
wow, thanks bro` it worked, but now i get:
"mount: mounting /dev/block/mmcblk0p2 on /system falied: Invalid argument"
but wait, i followed your readme, and executed root.sh. But my tab didnt restart, it just gave me this
"Attempt perf_swevent exploit... writing address is 8e09"
and my "$" turned to "#" (which i can only guess - that it means i have root rights)
thank you
EDIT:
Wow lol .... im so bad in this: okay now i just typed in "./root.sh"
and bam it asked me to reboot. Guess it worked thanks mate

i think you might have wrong package...try (re)download root v3...?
that shouldn't happen, the output you post is from the run_root_shell command which is not called by this script...
Wow!! Got it. Thanks so much for this. I used version 3 zip and just followed the readme. The hardest part was getting the adb connection working and reminding myself of the adb commands. Just checked using Root Explorer and was able to set /system to rw! Thanks again. Now what to do next...

Wasn't ICS R5A the release where sony disabled adb shell? Trying to imagine how that works (have R5A with replaced hidden.img here)
no they never disabled adb..
they just fixed their kernel which made it impossible for the last root-method to exploit the kernel and i think they maybe fixed some bugs with importing settings via adb.
but as far as i know there also where some bootloader changes which made it impossible to flash custom zip files.
Thank you for the quick reply, seems i got this mixed up. Glad to hear that root is now possibly on R5A, this will be my last resort on my problem with "stuck on every second reboot" (flashing OTA and hoping it fixes it, after it rooting with the new method). But that will only be if everything else fails.
If you are on r5a unrooted, this is for you, no matter if you were or weren't rooted prior to the update

Just done it, after loosing root while accidentally updating to r5a i can confirm i gained root again with that!
I guess thats kind of cool and should be implemented in the all in one rooting stuff and everything
Here you can find a little zipfile with all the needed Files and a README which describes How-To do it:
https://d1sturbed.org/android/root-r5a-v3.zip
there is also a v4, which contains a new binary and a new script...on Linux you now can just unzip the v4 and then execute doit.sh (perhaps someone can pass me a doit.bat or something, i guess it could run as a batch file for windows, but since i'm to sleepy and lazy to reboot into windows it's untestet. but you can try by removing the first line and rename to .bat)
https://d1sturbed.org/android/root-r5a-v4.zip3
no, it does not include adb or anything.
You need working adb for you OS and the zip file.
I just extracted the needed stuff from the linked projects (Superuser and busybox), added a little shell script that copies the apk and the binaries..
and while writing this post i've seen that i didn't install the busybox binary at all...so i fixed this with v2, added with this post... i also updated the README as i forgot to mention that run_root_shell and root.sh have to get executable bit3
yeah...i worked on this after my phone was rooted and i changes some permissions by hand etc...the busybox binary was chmodded to late...but i cannot see much on the small screenshot, tell me if there are other problems, attached v32i've made a small archive with a little README and a root.sh script, so you can just push everything from the archive to /data/local/tmp/ and execute root.sh
hope that's okay, if not tell me and i delete!
