What happens if you type this in terminal

cd /data/local/tmp
./getroot

I should note that in order for this to work you have to adb push "getroot" to /data/local/tmp and chmod 755 /data/local/tmp/getroot. These steps have to be done with adb shell

It's Exfat see screenshot

After thinking about this, that's not the problem. SE Android is keeping you from writing to /data/local/tmp, which is critical for this root technique, when you're using the terminal emulator.
It works when you have adb running and use the adb shell, which has slightly different permissions.

I may have to give up on the sdcard method and just include the "adb" program with the script. That'll bloat it, unfortunately.
I'll consider how to update this to make it more robust tomorrow.

So that means that you'll need to use the adb technique for now. Apparently you can't write to the target from the terminal emulator shell.
(unfortunately, my phone can now, so I can't debug this. yea root!).

I'll work on adding adb.exe to the root script and delete the "install.sh" as clearly that's an epic fail and won't work.

So adb method is confirmed working. Does this install supersu or superuser?

I'm the guy that needs a step by step guide on how to complete this process? When I run the batch file, it says ADB cannot be found? How2FixPlox?

At least the first part must be done with adb (actually just pushing the files to /data/local/tmp and setting their permissions), after that you can just run getroot. I just fully unrooted and after rebooting (to complete the unrooting process) I just typed a few things in to terminal and bang rooted again. See attached pic.

just got MK2 to root. Now i have the samsung custom with unlocked padlock before boot up. Does this mean anything to us?

 

[Ducki07]

I'm on MJ7 and I can verify I have root access! Now for recovery...anyone know how to take care of that?

 

[raed81]

Is there unroot method for this in case we have to take the phone back to Verizon ?

I used ADB

 

[xxxdroidxxx]

Confirmed working on mj7. Adb was not connecting. Make sure you have the latest java and adb. Had to reinstall the sdk tools and move file to adb folder. Run as administrator.

 

[Ducki07]

Yea, I had to update my adb too.
