hi folks, can i use automateit with temporary root in my wildfire official 2.2.1?
sorry for the bad english but i'm italian.
What do you mean by "temporary root" ?
shell root
Shell root doesn't allow running of any root-only apps if I am not mistaken.
What bonuses does shell root even give?
If i understand what you mean by "shell root" correctly, than i think that this will not be sufficient since for actions that require root, AutomateIt needs to have these permissions at the time the action is executed.
Hope this answers your question...
you can achieve shell root with gingerbreak, but it does not give anything
ok thanks for the answer, i've installed cyanogen mod thank alpharev
I have trying to do this:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=976613
but i recive passwd: not found
my atrix is rooted but i cant root the webtop, can someone help me?
thx
Anyone can help?
thx
Good question. Im hope also for answer.
Folks >
By "rooting" the webtop, do you mean getting a root shell on the webtop? Since the webtop is a modified ubuntu distro, root access is not really restricted on the webtop.
On a terminal, you could get the root prompt by doing:
Code:
$ sudo bash
But beware - *this is very dangerous - dont use this if you dont know linux* and you really should not need root access to the webtop for almost anything. Any scripts that need root access will almost always come with instructions asking you to sudo the appropriate script.
Cheers
hey guys i need some help plz!!!
i had rooted my asus prime.......and my bootloader was still locked, after i rooted my device i also had rootkeeper to protect it incase i update.....to make a long story short, i was so anxious when jelly bean was released i wasnt thinking so i proceeded without temp unroot first before i did the update......so after everything completed i went to restore my root access and it was gone..........was so pissed off, so now from every research i did it says that there is no current root options for the prime jelly bean, anybody knows how to get it back or a way to root again.....im willing to downgrade if i can to get back my root access. please help!!!
You can't downgrade without using the ASUS unlocker tool. Yeah, I know... shocked me too....
There isnt a working root method working as of yet if you are certain you have lost root access.
Some people report having partial root and even having some apps that still retained root. If none of that applies to you then your screwed with the rest of us.

If you don't get # you don't have root.
I actually had an SU in xbin but it wasnt owned by root.

Hmmm I will have to try in ADB and see what happens.
If your prompt changes to # in ADB then that means you should have root access. With that you can restore full root properly to your device. You may be one of the lucky ones that just needs to uninstall and reinstall Superuser.

Well it did give me hope when I saw that but I can't get past stage 11 in this guide . I just cannot get ADB to mount /system as RW . Also entering su in Terminal Emulator gets "permission denied" and Superuser itself "fails" at updating binary.

What is the error when you issue the remount command? if I type remount I get: "remount: not found"
There is also an executeable that came with one of the 10000 root packages I have tried called fsrw. Pushing it to /data/local/tmp with ADB then running it via the adb shell out of that path should try to perform the remount.
If you are getting "operation denied" then you don't really have root =/

I get:
"mount: Operation not permitted" .
There you go, you are not really root
Curious that you get the # logo though. I had an SU in xbin but got no # prompt because its ownership was screwed up.

Sorry, just tried again and now stage 11 is working! But then when I try 12 I get:

re root jellybean
hi, to all those other rookies, i did a bit of reading and finally decided to update to JB from stock ICS .28 which was unlocked and rooted.
As i expected i lost root and have just manged to get it back, i first installed twrp for JB using fastboot method.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1615990
then after trying [ROOT][TOOL]Debugfs automated root [09/18/2012] and SparkyRoot Apk having read this can possible restore root although not in my case, for me i uninstalled super user and re-flashed via twrp,
(version Superuser-3.2-arm-signed.zip from thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1911024)
Then when i rebooted i noticed luckypatcher app requested SU and root access was now working

Whooo! Just got my root back. I hadn't realised there are a couple of typos in the guide there and I was copying and pasting the long lines!
Big thanks to hx4700 Killer for making me wonder I must be doing something wrong :laugh:.

Well.. I believe that everyone who'd not consider unlocking their tablets before the JB update would not unlock after losing root just because of the warranty, probably not because they don't know how but because about half of the forumers don't think it's worth the risk considering the hardware instabilities like the green camera module, light bleed etc.
And since you've already flashed a custom recovery you've unlocked more than just root, why not try a custom ROM based on stock JB?
Hello guys, i have a question here, i bought this tablet from Focalprice:
http://www.focalprice.com/CE0427B/Y...PX820_Dualcore_12GHz_Tablet_PC_with_WiFi.html
This tablet have the same specs of the Ippo Y88, BUT Y88 have 1.5ghz and mine have 1.2ghz, they use the SAME dualcore A5 processor, IMAPX820.
Well, i search on google, and use the tool here on XDA to find some information, but its impossible to find anything about this processor, and those tablets... I know they are simple tablets, but someone know if i can ROOT this thing using CWM and put some light ROM, or Cymod?
Thnaks for help, this forum is the best, and i love the Galaxy S3 forum!
This proc is new, or have some other name?

How is your answer supposed to help anybody? People buy cheap tablets for a lot of reasons, I bought this to use it for a home automation system and it's perfectly fit for this purpose.
I'm also interested in rooting it, so any information ( ROMs , ideas on how to root it or how to make a ROM dump without root, etc) would be much appreciated.

My answer helps as yours. I only wanted to say that Aldighieri is not the only person looking for a way to root it.
Maybe nobody will develop a rooting method for this kind of tablets, but there could be an existing method that works ¿isnt it? hope so.
Thanks all of u!
Calm down boys, hehe!
So, none know a way? Is impossible to root this thing? =/

If you or somebody else can provide/find the original ROM I might be able to root it. I'm not an expert but I've managed to root an "unrootable" android tv box once. I've asked the guys at focalprice for the ROM but they didn't answer my email and I don't have too much hope given their awful customer service.
Oh thanks! Ill try to find it with someone on ebay, or google, if i find it i tell you! Thanks! )
Same problem for me. Excelent tablet, bu timpossible to root. When I try (with different methods: unlockroot,z4root, superoneclick, root bin4ay, rootx...) a massage say that is rooted, but when I try to install Superuser don't work for me. Please, help!
I asked for sellers on ebay to try to find the rom with the providers, but have no awnser yet, if u can, try it too! ^^
Me too on focal price. If i know something, I will post about it. Is very a rare case...
Thanks.

Nice! Thanks!
Still no answer from focalprice on my side and I think the best chance to find the ROM is via ebay sellers. I've tried a few methods of rooting the tablet without any luck and I came to the conclusion (with my limited knowledge) that the problem is related to the file system the ROM is packed, which doesn't allow changing file permissions. I can't go further without risking bricking my tablet, but if we find the original ROM I may be able to unpack /repack it, changing the permissions in the process. It may be a long shot but it's worth a try.
Thanks everybody for your efforts!
Fast response from focalprice: a word file with how to use this tablet: on, off, mute, how listen to the music...wow!
IF you find the rom ok, but you can't use it because the recovery is not present on this tablet. If you can do somethins, please, post it.
Thanks :good:

Hello friends!
I'm completly frustated. Google is burned with my researches. I have found this video and I think that is our tablet, but this combination don't work for me. Any idea?
Thank you for the info. I've tried the method in the video and it doesn't work on my tablet either, so probably we have a different model. Even if there is no recovery mode as the guys from focalprice say, I am sure that the ROM can be updated/reinstalled somehow, via usb maybe?
I'll keep trying to make a ROM dump from my tablet and I'll post here if I succeed.

Okay, I found a way to root it, but its on different device (Infotmic GF20). Firstly you have to enter recovery mode with adb (adb reboot recovery), then disconnect and reconnect usb cable, enter adb shell. If you have # as prompt, you can continue - it will work on your device too - if not, you have to obtain firmware from seller to root it. If you have #, type
Code:
ubiattach -m 1
busybox mount -tubifs /dev/ubi0_0 /system
Then exit adb shell, get su binaries and supersu app, and pull them to the device:
Code:
adb push su /system/xbin/
adb shell chown 0.0 /system/xbin/su
adb shell chmod 6755 /system/xbin/su
adb shell ln /system/xbin/su /system/bin/su
adb shell chown 0.0 /system/bin/su
adb shell chmod 6755 /system/bin/su
adb shell push supersu.apk /system/app/
Reboot device and it should work
OMG! Incredible!
My problem is the seller: they don't have the firmware, but I will try to understand all the process and I will try.
Thanks, thanks and thanks

Don't works for me. I can see the recovery (thanks), but when I unplug and plug the device, windows (xp) don't recognize the tablet. I use the Universal ADB drivers https://github.com/koush/UniversalAdbDriver, but I think that are the correct drivers. Any idea? Thanks! :good:
Here we have the solition, but I don't understand the recovery mode driver installation...
