ROOT for R5A [really works]

smokey_joe · Jun 12, 2013

I think this should really be linked here.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2320283
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)

Procedure

Expand where appropriate the android_run_root_shell-test.zip, to libdiagexploit of android_run_root_shell-test.zip within the deployment just the "Android.mk", "diag.c", "diag.h" of libdiagexploit-master.zip deployment.

Go to the folder where you extracted the android_run_root_shell-test.zip from the terminal,

> Ndk-build NDK_PROJECT_PATH =. APP_BUILD_SCRIPT =. / Android.mk

Type.

Run_root_shell is created in "android_run_root_shell-master/obj/local/armeabi" Then.

Expand to "android_run_root_shell-master/obj/local/armeabi" the su and Superuser.apk from UPDATE-SuperSU-v1.30.zip, busybox also be moved to the same folder.
From terminal

> Adb push run_root_shell / data / local / tmp
> Adb push su / data / local / tmp
> Adb push Superuser.apk / data / local / tmp
> Adb push busybox / data / local / tmp
> Adb shell
$ Cd / data / local / tmp
$ Chmod 777 run_root_shell
$ Chmod 755 busybox
$. / Run_root_shell
# / Data / local / tmp / busybox mount-o rw, remount / system
# / Data / local / tmp / busybox cp / data / local / tmp / su / system / xbin
# / Data / local / tmp / busybox cp / data / local / tmp / Superuser.apk / system / app
# Chown 0.0 / system / xbin / su
# Chmod 6755 / system / xbin / su
# / Data / local / tmp / busybox mount-o ro, remount / system
# Sync
# Exit

Is over. It would help to delete the ones that you push to / data / local / tmp afterward.

> Adb shell
$ Rm / data / local / tmp / run_root_shell
$ Rm / data / local / tmp / su
$ Rm / data / local / tmp / Superuser.apk
$ Rm / data / local / tmp / busybox

i'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!

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 bit

Thanks a lot - I try that when I'm at home in the evening. Greetings from Mannheim to Aachen.

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 v3

smokey_joe · Jun 12, 2013 at 12:43 PM

tried to look at your screenshot i saw you tried to execute the shellscript on the windows system? you really should read the README...you have to push the files to the device, everything from the zip file...and after that get a shell via adb shell and then you can execute the run_root_shell and after that the root.sh skript to finally install superuser.apk / busybox and su commands

How can you push files into data/local/tmp without root?

you could always....as far as i know it's the only place in the system where you can put files and make them executable. This was used by every exploit (i used) on my TabletP.

Exactly. All i got was permission denied. ADB drivers are installed. USB debugging is also enabled

looks good, after that you could install Superuser.apk/su/busybox by yourself or use execute root.sh ./root.sh to do it automatically...you can verify that you are root by using the command "id" but the root.sh script checks if your user id is 0 (root)

it's okay now, thanks very much
