Why use nautilus to copy files is there other way?
I tried 2 different devices (Huawei Mate 7 and Lenovo Yoga 3). /system did not appear in nautilus. Am I doing something wrong?

Hello !
I own an ADV device made with an MTK 6735M SOC.
I've tried both of your method to no avail.
The first one use a 32 bit "su" binary alas my phone is 64 bits. Add to this that I can't see the "system" directory in the Root nautilus so can't copy the binaries to the system/bin directory.
The messages I get are :
shell@Three_Proofings_W5:/data/local/tmp $ ls
Superuser.apk
busybox
psneuter
su
shell@Three_Proofings_W5:/data/local/tmp $ ./su
CANNOT LINK EXECUTABLE: "/system/lib/libc++.so" is 32-bit instead of 64-bit
page record for 0x7f7f6c4010 was not found (block_size=64)
1|shell@Three_Proofings_W5:/data/local/tmp $
And the second method does not work either because I get these messages (perhaps the exploit has been covered or the binary is not 64 bits, either ?) :
oot@espineux:/home/georges# adb shell
shell@Three_Proofings_W5:/ $ cd /data/local/tmp
shell@Three_Proofings_W5:/data/local/tmp $ ls
Superuser.apk
busybox
psneuter
su
shell@Three_Proofings_W5:/data/local/tmp $ chmod 777 psneuter
shell@Three_Proofings_W5:/data/local/tmp $ ./psneuter
mmap() failed. Invalid argument
1|shell@Three_Proofings_W5:/data/local/tmp $ exit
I would be very delighted to get help from you.
Many thanks in advance for it !
Have a bright day !

can't believe you all are still following this obsolete guide.
This guide no longer works. This is not 2014.
Please save your time and try only method 3

We cannot root now our phones with adb?

:confused: so the era of rooting android without twrp or other custom recovery is ended?
You are telling us in like 2016-2018 to root our android devices that 21% now are over , with kingroot? It appears now you can't your android over 4.2.2 without flashing a custom recovery? :( i really need an universal method, there are plenty of unfamous phones that still until now not rooted...please if you are reading this, can you suggest an other method that root your phone universaly?

    THIS GUIDE NO LONGER WORKS BECAUSE ANDROID ISN'T WHAT IT USED TO BE BACK IN 2013-14.
    PLEASE STOP WASTING TIME TO FOLLOW THIS OBSOLETE METHOD 1. PLEASE REFER ONLY TO METHOD 3​

    The Ultimate Guide to Rooting any Android Device Manually !!!!

    Wanting to ROOT Your Phone but can't do Because Of No rooting Guides or want to learn to root any device ? Then , This Guide Is For YOU

    OK So lets start....

    **What You Need**

    1.Your Unrooted Android Device.
    2.ADB Drivers Installed On Your PC. If you Don't Have Download From Here :
    Code:
    adbdriver.com/‎
    3. The Most Inportant Root Kit Made By Me (N'ayam Amarsh'e) - Download From The Attachment.
    4.Strength And Courage 'Coz Rooting Voids Your Warranty... If You have a samsung device then Don't Worry Your warranty is gone forever... But if you own any other, maybe you can void it or maybe......

    I've Written Android Device as ADV to make it more easy....

    **Steps**
    So you have the adb drivers installed let's go....

    1. Open The root kit by Extracting The Rootkit with WinRAR....

    2.Turn 'USB DEBUGGING' 'ON' in your ADV...

    3. Connect your ADV to Your PC...

    4.In the root kit Open Cmd.exe File ... [ IF YOU CAN'T OPEN CMD, GOTO C:/WINDOWS/SYSTEM32/ COPY CMD .EXE TO YOUR ROOTKIT FOLDER]

    5. In CMD window Type the following command...

    Code:
    ->adb devices       *Your device will get listed in the window if it doesn't check your adb drivers or if you have followed the steps properly...
    ->adb push busybox /data/local/tmp 
    
    ->adb push su /data/local/tmp 
    
    ->adb push Superuser.apk /data/local/tmp
    If you Succeed Move On ...

    6.Then You need Root Shell Type :

    Code:
    adb shell
    Note that you see a "$" sign in the command prompt. That means you are not in 'su' shell.

    7.Next run the following commands in the shell to change permissions and get some limited privileges for the Superuser files:

    Code:
    ->chmod 6755 /data/local/tmp/su 
    
    ->chmod 755 /data/local/tmp/busybox 
    
    ->chmod 644 /data/local/tmp/Superuser.apk
    {Note}The names of the files are case sensitive!

    8.Done ? Now You need to open a copy of linux which has nautilus... So enter your linux (I recommend using ubuntu 11.4) and type in the terminal (ctrl+alt+T)
    Code:
    ->sudo nautilus
    this will open nautilus with root privileges...

    You can just boot it from USB so no hassle of installing it... http://www.cyberciti.biz/tips/download-ubuntu-linux-11-04-iso-cd-dvd-images-natty-narwhal.html
    Having your ADV connected with USB to PC switch it off and put it in download/recovery mode...



    9.In The Exploring Window navigate to
    Code:
    /data/local/tmp
    and move/cut 'su' and 'busybox' to
    Code:
    /system/bin
    ...

    10.From the tmp Folder you went earlier Move/cut 'Superuser.apk' to
    Code:
    /system/app
    11.Now Reboot You ADV ... Congrats ! You're now ROOTED !

    Many Users Are Having Problem with This Method, If you can't do the method 1. Try Method 2.


    METHOD 2
    PLEASE DON'T ASK ME ABOUT THIS METHOD, THIS IS JUST FOR A TRY, MY BROTHER FOUND THIS METHOD TO BE WORKING, I HAVEN'T TRIED IT YET!

    This is linux based method, It's quite easy if you follow every step correctly...

    You need to download psneuter, https://github.com/tmzt/g2root-kmod/tree/master/scotty2/psneuter


    When you have it execute the following...


    Code:
    adb devices

    Code:
    adb push psneuter /data/local/tmp
    This will copy the file to your device and now we'll execute it..

    Code:
    adb shell
    
    cd /data/local/tmp
    
    chmod 777 psneuter
    
    ./psneuter

    Now You'll see

    Code:
    adb kill-server
    adb devices
    adb shell
    now # will appear in place of $, or after typing $su.

    Code:
    # mount -o remount,rw -t rfs /dev/block/st19/system
    # exit
    $ adb push busybox /system/bin
    $ adb push su /system/bin
    $ adb install Superuser.apk
    $ adb shell
    # chmod 4755 /system/bin/busybox
    # chmod 4755 /system/bin/su
    # mount -o remount,ro -t rfs /dev/block/st19/system
    # exit
    $ adb reboot
    Now your device will reboot and you can see SuperUser App in your app drawer...

    ----------------------------------------------------------------------
    METHOD 3

    I am about to try this on a Telstra T-Hub 2. If it works, I'll seriously buy you a beer. I've tried 4 other root methods and they don't work. Everything so far has been successful, just about to try the Linux part. I absolutely don't mind downloading Ubuntu if I can get this thing rooted.

    EDIT: So yeah I am stuck on the Ubuntu part because I can't seem to get this device to go to Download Mode. Only one other person on the entire forum has said there is a download mode, but I am not sure if he was confused with 'Android System Recovery 3e' because it's not the same thing. Because I can't get the device in Download Mode, I can't mount the device to Ubuntu and then follow the last few steps...

    If anyone has any ideas please advise. As it stands I've tried every button combination I can think of. So far it's:

    Volume - & Power to boot to the dead Android screen.
    Then Power & Volume + to boot into recovery. But there doesn't seem to be a way to root ICS 4.04 from just that.
    I've tried every other combination of buttons to get to actual 'Download Mode' but I don't think this device even comes with one.

    EDIT AGAIN:

    I am now convinced after reading this thread again that it is impossible to get this method to work. The OP doesn't provide any sort of proof that this method works, or any pictures at all.
    I also feel like it is impossible to get Nautilus to see the device's root directory '/' simply by just booting the phone into download or recovery mode. As it doesn't mount the device's partition on recovery mode, and on download mode Linux still cannot see the device. (I just tried with 2 of my Samsung phones).

    This is a broken method that absolutely does not work.
    A bunch of people all have the same issue and the OP instead replies weeks later saying that he has dropped support for this thread' and to PM him.

    Guys don't bother wasting your time with this method. When it comes time to use Linux or something else, that can transfer the files to /system/xbin or /system/bin you can't do it because it's read-only. The '/' root partition isn't visible on Linux no matter what, and it's impossible to open up a folder browser with root privileges that can see that partition so you can move the files.

    Try other methods, and forget this stupid thread.. I am using a device that seems to have no real root method, but I have listed a lot of methods that I have tried on in this thread. You can google some:

    I could never get the Nautilus part of this to work. I tried on an Ubuntu device, a jump drive, and a virtual box.
    If the author is still monitoring this thread, I think a lot of us would appreciate a video tutorial for this. (Or an alternative to using Nautilus altogether).

    Sorry, but this person is a bit clueless and is mainly good for asking "press help".

    The "2nd method" doesn't even need linux!

    It just has a binary run from inside android.
    Dear epigramx,

    Should I correct you? What I was Asking Was Press Thanks not Press help...

    2nd Method, I've Written A ton of times on this thread, isn't made by me but my Brother...

    So I won't be able to tell you about 2nd Method, but Many Users have really benefitted from these methods...

    Please, Leave a reply If you too, And, I'm not at all clueless but a little bit of Clueless mixed with Madness You can say...

    N'ayam

    I connect my Samsung I9082 (in Download mode/Recovery mode) to my computer which is running Vitual box with Ubuntu. Open Nautilus, but I see nothing. It seems Ubuntu cannot communicate with the phone.
    The samsung device is checked in Vitual box device menu already.

    Any help???
