1) install update
2) adb pull /proc/config.gz
3) extract using 7zip/winrar etc
4) open config with wordpad
5) copy all and paste to pastebin.com
6) control + f setuid

that will tell ya if the switch has been flipped or not

Will do. Running a backup right now and will install after that.

Putting stock back on.

Yeah I plan on it. Attached the gz.

Pulling source now to run a diff and see what has changed in kernel beyond the obvious.
Be interested to see if they left that in the defconfig since they know someone will probably flip it back.

 

[shabbypenguin]

anyone check to see if kies would update em? would be a nice thing to have the tar for it as well

 

[crawrj]

Just to confirm the obvious rooting did not work.

Installing the stock MDC kernel allows rooting.

 

[shabbypenguin]

if you dont mind, have mdl kernel installed, flash cwm/twrp. boot into recovery and dd the kernel. i wish to compare ramdisks

 

[garwynn]

Well, that diff was actually productive.
They have made the change in the common defconfig for all i9505 variants.
So expect this to be coming to the rest of them soon.


Looks like on the kernel side a majority of the changes are to 3 files:

firmware/ssp_rev03.fw.ihex
firmware/tsp_synaptics/synaptics_b0_5_1.fw.ihex
firmware/tsp_synaptics/synaptics_b0_5_1_fac.fw.ihex

Beyond those 3, many of the changes pertain to ATT and EUR variants.
Attaching a zip of the diff file for reference as I'll be spreading the word.

Guess I'll get with Agat to make an MDL kernel with that flipped off...

*Update 2* As Shabby mentioned, only Tmo and Sprint have seen this so far... so AT&T results can be ignored.

sorry for teh delay, had to make breakfast for my daughter this is a MDL source built kernel, but with MDC ramdisk until i can get MDL ramdisk. it will allow root however

The boot.img is in the update.zip already. Or do you still need it DD?

oh didnt know they included a full one. i didnt download the update.zip (doesnt do me any good )

ok recompiling now, seems only a minor edit in ramdisk but may be worthwhile to include it. new kernel is up at same old link crawj you have permission if youd like to include it in a odex/deodex'd rootable zip rom

 

[garwynn]

Well, may not be as bad as we read a few days ago.
AT&T threads saying motochopper still working - we'd have to test CF Auto Root.
Also OTA Root Keeper supposedly working.

In the end I'll just flash a kernel that plays nice. Thanks Shabby!

I haven't looked at the at&t threads but I would say they are wrong. You can install root but the kernel kills it. So it won't run. I have tried all three methods of install and it doesn't work.

1. Installing custom recovery and flashing supersu
2. Oding CFAutoRoot
3. Moto

So you have the new kernel working? Where is that same old link again And thanks!

crawrj is correct, its not a matte rof re-rooting its the binary is being killed as it tries to launch. att didnt get it in an update yet, only tmo and sprint for the us carriers.

So you have the new kernel working? Where is that same old link again And thanks!
