What did you do that caused this?
Did you perform any of what was suggested in this forum, and if so, which?

Which G4 are you on?

I am able to do this on my g3 even though the permissions are the same as on the g4

Then there must be something else in play...

Still not working, the # appears too fast and it's not writing anything.
Does it work for anyone else?

Pilo - what were you using to backup/restore?
Since we have no root, there really shouldn't be many ways for you to screw up your G4...
Regardless, this doesn't seem to be the right place for your question, as it has nothing to do with this thread.
I recommend you post a question in the General forum.

Man that's really weird as long as the g4 has been out there isn't any way to root this damn thing. Glad I have a g3 but I feel bad for my brother who has a g4 haha

patients is a virtue

I recently upgraded from an G2 to the G4......I remember the early days on the G2 that everyone was itching to root there phone. Be patient and let the REAL developers figure a scheme. They will......

I have no intention to roll back to another phone because of root. It will happen....then happy tweeking:good::good:

Actually, there is a way to root it, it just hasn't been released to the masses yet.

I don't have proof, but I heard that jcase was able to root the US carrier G4's, but he was working on a clean way for us to do it.

From where I hear from some boys at Team Nocturnal, if Jcase says he did it, he did.

I'm trying to follow along here but i'm also new to the forum. I have a Verizon G4 if I follow the you tube video word for word will i have root access or will i just have a custom recovery? I'm not sure i understand the difference between the two. Will to try any methods anyone has along has there's a you tube video or a step by step. I've only rooted my Galaxy S4 with Odin that's the extent of my experience.

 

[Mystikalrush]

I hope this is real, not that i doubt jcase, and i hope it comes out! Seems pretty quiet since this was publicly announced.

I saw the video

If jcase said he rooted it, I believe him. However, at the time, he said he had no intentions to release it. So, while I believe it can be rooted, we may have to wait for someone else to discover the method.

Seems awfully self-promoting/selfish to post something like that and then just refuse to release it to make some kind of point. If you don't think people appreciate or whatever, just f'ing charge for it. I'd pay.

The root method that jcase used is extremely difficult and is very risky, which is why it hasn't been released to the public yet. I believe he said he'd release it once he can package it in a safer manner.

My fault, then. I don't have nearly the time I need to keep up with this stuff. Sorry to jcase for misspeaking if he's just looking out for us.
