im trying to root my atrix, i have followed the steps in the post however each time i type in the flash preinstall preinstall.img the cmd says that it cant be read....im lost. is there a easier way too root instead of cmd. btw im on 2.3.4 i did nothing to my phone, im just trying to root it so i cant install roms
Make sure that you put all your root files, on your pc, on c:\root, and not in a subdirctory. Then, while you're trying to root, make sure you are in that directory when you're entering the commands.
the files inside the folder i download have to be in a folder or just in C:\
also when im in cmd the whole time it says that im C:\documents and settings\something>
also im running windows xp on a macbook if that matters let me know
make a folder in c:\
To get to root directory in command prompt: "cd c:\" (+ any other folder destination that you want to get to).
ok i flashed the preinstall and rebooted the phone, do i have do go back to fastboot? or just stay with the phone on (but the cmd says phone not found)

after reboot you should be done... and rooted. Run titanium backup to check or download rootcheck from the market

No, it needs to be on usb debugging to use adb.
If i remember correctly one of the steps does give you an error but you just ignore it and type the rest of the commands. Im not sure if that is the step you are on though.. Im just recalling from memory. Complete the rest of the steps in the tutorial you are using and see if it works

well I'm about out of suggestions here. My only other one is to run cmd "as administrator" or you can flash an image with root built in.
However, it should work. this is the method I used to root my atrix and countless others as well. Also you may want to make sure you have the right device drivers installed too.
whats the other method? coz i just keep getting this stupid premission denied the whole time, or how do i know if im on admin cmd?
Get rootchecker from the market and check to see if you have root privileges.

To run as admin right click cmd and choose the "run as admin" option.. If you are admin the directory you start out in is C:\
windows/system32.
i think thats the problem coz im running as "owner" but i cant get into admin becouse there is a password required that i dont know, anyone know what would be the password?

Wondering if someone knew this answer. I'm not new to adb but came across one issue i can't figure out. I have my adb set up for my o.g. Evo which is using Android SDK r6 which works fine. On Evo 3D i cant get passed "adb devices". All it says is list devices attached but it doesnt list which device like its not seeing it. I tried SDK r10 and r11 and nothing. I'm trying to push fre3vo.

Do you have the drivers installed. Also, go to settings->Applications->Development and make sure USB debugging is selected.
I'm not sure selecting/deselecting USB debugging and/or Allow mock locations will make it work, but I remember having the same exact issue and I started playing with those and it worked. Maybe someone can confirm. Good luck.
It was the drivers. Who'd of thunk,lol Thank ya!

For anyone else having problems getting ADB to run after checking the above mentioned solutions if you're still having trouble.....Make sure HTC Sync is not running on your computer. In fact, unless you use it to sync your phone with your computer, which most people do not. Just uninstall it. Once you have the drivers for your phone installed you don't need to keep Sync installed.
Still no luck.....I did uninstall HTC and tried everything......even uninstalled sdk and same thing I really need help.

you are posting with forward slashes, are you on linux? if you are not, and are on windows then you need backslashes. anyways, go to your android folder, then the platform tools folder. you should see adb.exe if so, hold the shift key and click on an empty area in this folder. in the pop up there will be an option that say "open cmd prompt window here" click that, then in the cmd prompt window type "adb devices" without the quotes. does it list your device? if not, open device manager and see if there are any things shown with errors if so, right click and select update drivers. if this helped pm in accordance to your promise in the pron thread!

After you bring up your command promt....You have to change directory to the sdk.
cd \android-sdk-windows\platform-tools (if the latest version)
or cd \android-sdk-windows\tools (if and older version)

If you installed the sdk to the root of your hard drive (c) and you go to my computer....you should see a folder called "android-sdk-windows". If you have that, then it's installed and in the right place. You just need to change directories to it once you open your command prompt.

Follow this guide. To the letter, very important you set the path correctly in the environment variables or you'll be going around in circles. Once it's done, you'll have a working ADB and fastboot environment, you will also want the "Universal naked USB driver" which can be found on this site.
Once you've got that up and running, try getting your system into fastboot protocol and type fastboot -i 0x0b05 reboot, if that works, then you've access to ADB and fastboot protocols, follow the commands given in solution 1a then to complete your recovery.
Hope this helps.

Extract it if you haven't already.... put your prime into recovery .... plug it into the pc... in device manager find the prime and update the driver manually... point windows to the driver and your there...
For adb... you need to download that too I use the one in the nvfashpack... so... you extract the file.. with the window open... press and hold shift then right click in the window (nvflashpack folder, where the adb.exe file is) and select open command prompt here. Now you can use the adb commands... if your trying to push a file...it is best to put it in the same folder (nvflashpack)
Hello all, I've been really happy with my XPS ever synce I've root it and everything is working clockwork, except there is something eating my battery.
I've used "BetterBatteryStats" app, and i've got a parcial wakelock "AlarmManager" in 1st place.
I've read that to know eacly what app is waking the phone i've got to connect the phone to a Pc, run "ADB" and type "adb shell dumsys alarm > C:\alarm_log.txt".
This will creat a log file that will show what app is generating all those wake numbers, and then unistall or limit it.
The problewm is... what is ADB.EXE??? Where can i get that program for the pc? Does the phone have to be in USB debuggin mode? If someone help me I'll post a guide to anyone in need to find the problematic apps that eat battery for others noobs out there!

To perform this actions, is it mandatory that phone needs to be rooted?
Because, i followed all the steps, when i executed the command in cmd prompt, i got below info
* daemon not running. starting it now on port 5037 *
* daemon started successfully *
/system/bin/sh: dumsys: not found
What should i need to do now if phone doesn't needed to be rooted?
For using adb not necessarily ur phone rooted... but if u need to get anything insdie system folder ur phone needs root access... you can pull/push files from adb.. but it makes more easier if u do those for sdcard via windows explorer after connecting via usb..
In short its for rooted devices mostly.....
Ok, still need help on this one.
I've followed all the steps, installed SDK, phone in development, command line accepted, but then I check the log file I get this:
/system/bin/sh: dumsys: not found
So... Why is it now finding my phone? any idea? When am i supposed to connect the phone to the pc?

dumpsys, not dumsys. With a P.
Like me I'm sure many of you were very surprised to log in today, as most have been doing everyday for the past month or so to find that not one, but two methods for obtaining s-off on the DNA were released within minutes of each other. First Revone and then, coincidentally enough, Moonshine was released minutes later. Somebody didn't want somebody else stealing their thunder I'm guessing. I'm just kidding...I'm sure both sides worked extremely hard on their respective methods and deserve mad props for the time spent on this and for waving a middle finger in the face of Verizon. Having said that I have tried both methods and have been unsuccessful so far at each one. I have to pose my questions here because I'm a new member and the development threads are off limits to me.
I tried the Revone Method first and like many were saying in the actual thread, my phone kept auto rebooting after the ./revone.dna -P step. I tried everything I could think of including all of the suggestions from the other users who finally got it to work by trying different things. Has anyone figured out what is causing the auto reboot? There has to be something specific causing this. One thing I have noticed with my phone is that USB Debugging has been very unreliable as of late. It turns itself off and on at random times and a lot of times the box is checked to enable it but it's not on. I don't know if this is playing a role in the process not working for me. I got the "success" message after every step several times but never actually achieved s-off.
I finally gave up on Revone to try Moonshine. I really didn't want to have to fo this route since I don't know a thing about Linux. I decided to go the boot from flash drive route so I downloaded 32 bit Ubuntu 13.04 iso and used universal USB installer to put it on my drive. I am using an external hard drive that is already formatted to fat32. I did NOT format the drive because I didn't think I had to since it was already fat32. Universal USB Installer was successful in putting Ubuntu on the external drive. I then went into my bios and changed the boot sequence to boot from the external drive first but when I rebooted it just loaded up Windows like normal. What am I doing wrong here? I'm running Windows 7 64bit but it was my understanding that this should not be a problem. Do I have to format and/or partition the external hard drive even though it is already fat32 before putting Ubuntu on it?
I'm dying to get one of these methods working but I'm currently stuck. Any newbies like me that can't post in the Development forums have any ideas as to what is going wrong here or would anyone else like to chime in with their own issues? Thanks in advance. I'm sure I'll get there eventually. :good:
Follow this guide for using an external USB device.
Modify the boot sequence like you were doing before, hopefully you'll get in to Ubuntu.
You say you don't have Linux experience, so I'll simplify the process for you:
Once at the desktop, press Control + Shift + T. This will open the Terminal, which is basically the Linux version of Windows' cmd.exe. Once inside, open up Mozilla Firefox (included) by using the side bar, the icon should be there. Download the version of Moonshine for the DNA, and then switch back to the terminal.
Type in these commands:
cd /home/Downloads
tar -zxf moonshine_dlx_2.06.605.1.tgz
sudo ./distiller

And then let Moonshine do its thing.
Modify the boot sequence like you were doing before said:
Thank you for the response. I saw in the instructions it says to put the moonshine file in the ~Downloads directory. How do I do that? Also, I think I am going to try the disc method instead. Does it matter if its a cd or dvd? And I never did ask if the version of Ubuntu I had downloaded was compatible with this method. I downloaded Ubuntu 13.04 32bit for use on Windows 7 64bit. Will I have any problems? Thanks again!!

Oh and one other thing I forgot to mention regarding the revone method...the directory \data\local\temp did not exist on my device prior to me creating it when I pushed the revone.dna to my phone. Should I have had that directory on my phone already?

I am in a similar boat. I am trying to use revone as I can't get ahold of linux. I downloaded the sdk and revone, moved adb to my C: with the revone file. Everything goes smoothly until i reach the -P step. Every single time it reboots after saying success. If I try to run the -s 0 -u command after that I get failed to map memory, success, revone failed = -1. If I try the -P command again, I get the same message with error code 2. If I try to reboot the bootloader, I get error device not found. I've been at this for hours, and Jerry from Android central even walked me through it, everything ended up successful ans when the bootloader rebooted, it was still locked and s on. Help please?
I dont even know what command to type into CMD for Revone. how do i push the file I have revone on my desktop downloaded and SDK installed..
Next step is?

I moved adb and its two counterparts in a folder named ADB_WIN, in my C: drive. From there, I typed cmd.exe in the search bar, it opened the command box. I typed in adb push revone.dna /data/local/tmp/ ENTER adb shell ENTER cd /data/local/tmp ENTER chmod 755 revone.dna ENTER ./revone.dna -P and that's where my error started coming in. You can try this, not sure if this right, but if its not, hopefully someone will correct me.

32 bit should work fine. You need a DVD because a CD is too small. ~/Downloads directory is just the current user's downloads folder. So most likely it would get downloaded to there anyway.

That's the command you use, adb push. Use it in a terminal. So..assuming windows use explorer to go yo where you downloaded the files and have revone.dna then hold shift and right click, choose open prompt here then type
adb push revone.dna /data/local/tmp
If it complains about command not found for adb add the adb.exe and its libraries to the same folder then try again.

Try 'adb devices' and see if it recognizes your phone. Do you have usb debugging enabled? If so toggle it off and then back on while the phone is plugged in then wait about 10-15 seconds and try 'adb devices' again to see if its recognized now

Yeah looks like the file pushed successfully. Now u do "adb shell" then "cd data/local/tmp" then "chmod 755 revone.dna" ....and so forth. Make sure ur adding the extension ".dna" to revone (revone.dna) each time u type it. If u just put revone it won't work ull just get an error
I just used Odin3 v3.04 and CF-Root-SGS3-v6.4 to root my Samsung Galaxy S III. It seems root worked because CWM was installed and as i tried to execute it, i had to grant root rights to this app. But i can't execute adb root since its telling me "adbd cannot run as root in production builds". I can't access /data through ES Explorer on my phone either. Does anyone have a solution?

Try by flashing this zip file from CWM: http://download.chainfire.eu/370/SuperSU/UPDATE-SuperSU-v1.80.zip

Unfortunately It didn't fix my issue. It don't get any message for "adb root" and device is getting disconnected after that.
Code:
>adb devices
List of devices attached
4df1ec9f1b844f57 device
>adb root
>adb devices
List of devices attached
Still no luck for access to the folder from the phone.

Go to developer options and enable root access to both apps and adb, this may fix that problem..

Do you mean developer options of the phone? I can't find any options there regarding root access. I checked SuperSU app, but there is also only list of apps with root access and no possibilities to add apps.

yes it should be in developer options of the phone, m not sure if its in stock firmware.. if there is no such option than first try adb shell and then su, than it will prompt to give root access to shell. have you tried doing that?

I want to pull some apps to my PC to decompile them. I'm preparing myself for a seminar on my uni.

oh.. and as i said above to use adb shell and then adb su, that might too work but simply use su after adb shell, i dont know how i entered adb su.

Well, since i logged once with adb as root, the phone seems to give now permanently root access to adb. So i just used "adb pull /data/app/com...." with no problem.

thats fine but next time you can also use su to be root user over adb.. maybe next time also adb root wont work and you have to use adb shell asnd su to be root user..

Well to be precise, "adb root" still doesnt work, so i can gain root access only over shell->su. But it is completely sufficient for my purposes.

adb root is not working because root access to adb is not available from developers option, so thats only way to gain root access. And also best of luck for seminar..
