[blong82]

I guess I'm dumb too....never used terminal before....not sure how to input these comands

 

[jaestreetss]

Am I supposed to change any filename or anything?
BC I'm copying commands from op and pasting on term em.
But it says no such file or directory found.
Also I extracted folder to the root of my sdcard

Finally got around to trying it. Doesn't work. Says:
[+] this may take a few minutes
[-] failure
Cleaning up
Exploit finished reboot phone.....

Tried 3 times and even turning on developer settings and still not working.

Did you reboot?

You need to reboot even if it says failed.

Yeah I did. Pulled the battery like it said and didn't work.

Not sure then. Worked for me after I manually deleted the su binary.

After you deleted it? Are you suppose to install it before hand?

No no, what I'm saying is that I made sure that this method was working before I posted it.

Oh. Hmm, I really wished it worked though. It's such a simple idea

Cant we just flash a custom stock kernal pre rooted with cwm in Stock Recovery ??? I used to do that to root my S2 when I had it..

 

[Omar04]

I can confirm it's not working there's a problem with a command or SU binary is not present at all.

What I did in my test?
Flash stock tar.md5 to start completely clean.
-followed guide to a tie. Nothing
-cat every single file from origin to destination. Nothing
-chmod (gave permissions) to every single file on destination. Nothing
-chmod (gave prmissions) to every single file on origin. Nothing
-executed setup.sh from destination nothing
-executed setup.sh from origin. Nothing
-tried different configurations with USB debugging on and off. Nothing worked.

Also commands I would put them like this:
sdcard0 (Samsung devices internal storage)
extSdCard (Samsung devices external storage)

This change working directory to new extracted folder with the files:

cd /storage/sdcard0/name of extracted folder here

press enter

This copy, move, create desire file to selected/created folder/directory

cat setup.sh > /data/data/jackpal.androidterm/setup.sh

press enter

This change working directory to the new selected/created one.

cd /data/data/jackpal.androidterm

press enter

This give all permissions to desire file.

chmod 755 setup.sh

press enter

This execute script.

./setup.sh /storage/sdcard0/name of extracted folder here

press enter

It's not working anymore. Try other options.

No further option?

I have also tried to root an MTK6589 phone with this method and others as well (which use the superuser.apk dated April 9th, 2013), but unsuccessfully. They always end up with the "failure" message. My phone uses Android 4.2.2.

You should only try this on Qualcomm devices.

I'd this method still good? My pc is down and want to root my gf phone before she gets the update ota. And keep her on md4 till the work around comes. Plus she wants some MOAR on her phone
