EmuTempRoot - Root tool for Android Virtual Device

[xdaid]

This is my tool to apply a temporary root to the (already open) android's emulator. If you're a developer or simply want to run apps with root access in the emulator you may find this useful.

Please note, launching the AVD directly from EmuTempRoot is highly recommended (especially if root fails).

The emulator can also be launched from this tool;
this option is recommended since the AVD will be automatically configured in order to ensure a succesful root process.
You can still deploy apps to the emulator from eclipse.

Requirements:

- Windows Vista (it should work on XP and 7, not tested)
edit: i still can run it successfully on windows 8
- .NET Compact Framework 3.5 or higher
- Android SDK for 2.1 or higher

Usage:

- Unzip to desktop or any folder where special rights are not required
(e.g. do not unzip to the program files folder)
- Open EmuTempRoot (double-click)
- Open the AVD (better to open AVD from EmuTempRoot)
- Root! it lasts untill the AVD is rebooted

Download from the link below. Optionally

See the end of this message for details on invoking

************** JIT Debugging **************
To enable just-in-time (JIT) debugging, the .config file for this
application or computer (machine.config) must have the
jitDebugging value set in the system.windows.forms section.
The application must also be compiled with debugging
enabled.

For example:

<configuration>
<system.windows.forms jitDebugging="true" />
</configuration>

When JIT debugging is enabled, any unhandled exception
will be sent to the JIT debugger registered on the computer
rather than be handled by this dialog box.

Excuse me for taking so long to answer you should try to launch the AVD directly from EmuTempRoot, once the AVD is up and running apply the root.
