This will only work if you can access a root prompt (#) in adb shell! THIS WAS DONE AFTER DOING A WIPE FROM THE VOLUME DOWN MENU WHEN BOOTING THE PRIME! I do not know if this will work without the wipe, but it very well may. Maybe someone more knowledgeable can chime in here.
It may be possible to restore from a su-backup if you have a su binary still in /system/bin or xbin. Even if you can't access a root prompt (#) by just typing su, read starting at page 6. Places to look for a su-backup include /system/ /system/usr/we-need-root/ and /system/bin/
I have a batch script in the works that will determine if you can re-root and take the appropriate steps to do so if possible.
I had to do a voldown wipe after my update to JB. My prime would reboot after 5-10 seconds into the homescreen after boot. After wiping, I thought for sure my root was screwed until a new exploit was found.
I accessed my device through adb, and realized that I could invoke a root prompt using the su command at the $ prompt. Using ES file explorer, I could see su in /system/bin/ but no su-backup or superuser.apk in /system/app/.
I tried simply installing superuser from the market, but it did not work. The busybox installer would not work, either.
ATTACHED ARE THE EXACT THREE FILES I USED. I do not know if using different version will affect the process!
Here is what worked for me:
1. adb shell
2. su
(# - you should see this now! This will not work without this specific prompt!)
3. type 'exit' press enter, and then 'exit' again. You will now be back at the regular command prompt.
4. adb push C:\(location of attached files)\superuser.apk /data/local/tmp
5. adb push C:\(location of attached files)\su /data/local/tmp
6. adb push C:\(location of attached files)\busybox /data/local/tmp
7. Access the adb shell again, and type su
8. chmod 644 /data/local/tmp/superuser.apk
9. chmod 755 /data/local/tmp/busybox
10. chmod 6755 /data/local/tmp/su
11. mount -o remount,rw /system
12. dd if=/data/local/tmp/Superuser.apk of=/system/app/Superuser.apk
13. dd if=/data/local/tmp/busybox of=/system/bin/busybox
14. dd if=/data/local/tmp/busybox of=/system/xbin/busybox
14a. Chmod 755 /system/bin/busybox
14b. Chmod 755 /system/xbin/busybox
15. Reserved
16. busybox rm /system/bin/su
17. busybox cp /data/local/tmp/su /system/bin
18. type su once again to assure you still have access to the # prompt
18a. Chmod 644 /system/app/superuser.apk
18b. mount -o remount,ro /system
19. type exit, and exit again, returning to the regular windows command prompt.
20. type 'adb reboot' (without quotes)
NOTE - you will not need to install the superuser.apk app in the normal sense. It will be installed upon the reboot as a system app automatically!
21. Once your prime has rebooted, go download root checker basic or the like from the play store. Open it, and wait for your superuser prompt!
22. Get the busybox installer from the play store as well, and use that to get the newest version of busybox.
23. Get SuperSU from the market. It seems to be the safest method to keep root with JB...
ALSO! Make sure to keep a backup root with voodoo or super su after completing this guide! I have lost root (VERY WELL may have been my own fault... too much poking around) Anyway, better safe than sorry!!!
Thanks to daymz from the debugfs thread in development for the basic instructions of what needed to be done!! And also thanks to all before me who got us root in the first place!
I will answer questions to the best of my ability. I am not a developer and do not try to present myself as so... I can tinker with the best, and after losing root, I set out to see if I could figure it out!

I have fellow this method and it was failed at step 16 in my case because of the permission issue but I managed to make it move and regained the root. The details of the issue as below.
Step 16 failed because step 13, 14 which will copy busybox to /system/bin and /system/xbin with a wrong executive permission.
To correct in my case: after step 13, 14 follow those steps below:
- chmod 755 /system/bin/busybox
- chmod 755 /system/xbin/busybox
- skip step 15
- continue steps 16, 17, 18
- chmod 644 /system/app/Superuser.apk
- continue step 19, 20, 21, 22
Then you will get your root back, it worked in my case. Good luck guys.
To the OP, please verify and update those steps if necessary.

Can anyone help me get ADB back. It worked fine before the update but now I can't get it to recognise the device at all - just get the blank list and device not found when I am connected. The drivers look fine like before in Device Manager when I plug in (Asus Android Composite ADB Interface). I have switched USB Debugging on and do not have Asus Sync installed. Everything on the ADB side works with my phone OK.
I used Rootkeeper to restore root after upgrade though it now seems that was only partial. I did a factory reset to clear out a few gremlins. Now Rootkeeper has the Root permission granted box unchecked but the rest checked but I guess since it doesn't have root access anymore it won't do anything. I have tried uninstall and reinstall Superuser but it fails at updating the binary.
Any suggestions to get ADB back much appreciated .

I accessed my device through adb, and invoked a root prompt using the su command at the $ prompt. Using ES file explorer, I saw su in /system/bin/ but no su-backup or superuser.apk in /system/app/. Followed the steps. After completing the steps, and rebooting, I have Superuser.apk in system/app, however with root checker, root not found!
Install busybox installer says that my device is rooted, but install failed.
No root for me
Edit: I got it. I am now rooted. Thanks for everyone's assistance!
RootKeeper says that I have:
- Superuser app installed (yes)
- Device rooted (no)
- Root permission granted (no)
- /system supports root protection (yes)
- Protected su copy available (yes)
However, I can't get true SU and the # prompt. When I enter shell and type 'su' I get:
1|[email protected]:/
So, I'm stuck at instruction #11 when I attempt to mount /system as rw.
Any ideas if I'm still eligible to root this baby?
work beautifully for me!! :good::good:
now have root after a wipe.
thanks for sharing mdpgc.

Are you suggesting that if I do a system wipe on my stock rom JB and run your commands I will eventually get root?
Hx4700, i got stuck doing a wipe after the update, and this worked for me. The wipe does not seem to remove su from /system/bin/ meaning we have a way back in through adb.
But, what if Voodoo didn't work before and you are unable to get su through adb in the first place? Are you suggesting that a wipe will resolve the blocked root access or did you have different circumstances?

If you cannot access a root prompt, then i do not believe it will work. Using a file explorer like es, does a su file exist in /system/bin? I had to wipe as i was bootlooping, and cant comment on how it pertains to how i was able to get root back!

Yes, one does. Also su-backup in /system... Any feelings?
Hm, weird you cant get a root prompt through adb. From my experience, if su exists there, adb should be able to invoke a root prompt. Do you have any issue using adb push?

does it stick after reboot?
Its supposed to be a temporary root so i doubt it will.
This works on any android phone up to 2.2. I have confirmed this works on my epic, so th same sould work here.
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App
see below.
confirmed root.
Had to use Superuser.apk 2.3.6.1 and the su binary in the package, but the rest worked.. except for that cat command? Why would you cat binary files instead of copying them? (not complaining, just curious). I just adb pushed them to /system/xbin, and adb shell chmod'd them.
You also have a typo near the end "scard" instead of "sdcard".
You can also use mv or cp. I just happen to use cat because I used it the other day rooting my friends stock 2.2 droid. Which required me to use cat.
And yes this is permanent
Cool, i tried using rm -rf to get rid of a directory I created accidentally, and was getting some syntax errors, so I wasn't sure how compatibile the command line on android was to linux.
Glad it's pretty close. Being very familiar with linux makes this pretty easy to understand. Day 1 with an android device was pretty darn fun. I think I'm glad I went this direction.
I just followed this and used the same files I had from my Droid 2 (just updated the Superuser.apk from this sites thread for it) and works perfectly. Rebooted phone did "adb shell" and "su" and still have root, so it is permanent
side note: steps say "/system/xbin" and assume you meant "/system/bin" like Droid 2 was. That's where I put them and it worked.

I dunno, ~20-30 seconds? Assuming sound is enabled you should hear the same USB device connected/disconnected sounds.
If you want to be 100% sure just wait like 90 seconds. I'm pretty sure it killed my shell though, so if it does that, you're good to go.
ok, adb recognizes the device *see below, however when i type adb push su /sdcard/su i get cannot stat 'su': no such file or directory. ?

su is a file (for our purposes right here, anyway). Unless you explicity specify its path, it needs to be in the same directory you're running the adb command from.
If you installed the Android SDK per guidelines, adb should be in your PATH environment variable, and you should be able to execute it from any directory. If you didn't do that, then for the sake of simplicity, copy all the files referenced in the original steps to your working directory. From your post above, it appears that is c:\downloads\android\android\tools\
I got stuck at cat /sdcard/su > . Is that supposed to be > .? It won't let me enter that...There's not something else that's supposed to be there?
EDIT: I get the same error faspalma
I'm stuck at that point too. cat /sdcard/su > . returns "cannot create .: is a directory"
On the stock ROM, I can almost fully flash my Fascinate to Cricket (everything works but Market and applications using data, everything works with my Droid on the same plan, including Market and applications). I think the last piece is causing Market/Apps to not work. I need to do the following
cd c:\android\tools <enter>
adb shell <enter>
mkdir /data/opt/ <enter>
exit <enter>
adb remount <enter>
adb push c:\android\tools\u2nl /system/bin/u2nl <enter>
adb push c:\android\tools\autostart.sh /data/opt/autostart.sh <enter>
Now:
adb shell <enter>
chmod 0755 /system/bin/u2nl <enter>
chmod 0755 /data/opt/autostart.sh <enter>
adb reboot <enter>
Install Autostart from the Market or download it form the bottom of this post and install it. Reboot the phone (sometimes it will take more than 1 reboot) and give the Superuser Permission box a few seconds to pop up. Autostart will be looking for permission. Grant it.

The problem is I can't run the mkdir /data/opt/ command because the file system is locked. If I flash to a new ROM, then I can make the directory, but data stops working, and Cyanogen doesn't have a modem mode.
What would be the best Rom to use? Does anyone know which ones have modem-mode available? Or is there a way to unlock the filesystem so I can make that directory?
Hi guys
I've imported the SH-06D from Japan and the phone is running great, however I'd like to remove some system apps etc to help speed up the phone (it's still on 2.3.5) and obviously tweak it as well.
I know there is an existing thread on the SH-01D (predecessor to the SH-06D) but I'm wondering if anyone has successfully rooted the SH-06D and if so, is there an (easy) process to do this?
Another reason I want to root, is to install the UI from the upcoming Evangelion Nerv edition of the SH-06D that is due to be released in a few days.
ICS for the SH-06D is just around the corner (due to be released in July) but I'd realy appreciate any help, assistance or tips in rooting the phone as it is now.
Cheers! :fingers-crossed:
Anyone?
:-(
here is a link to root the sh-06d :

Thanks mate!!! :highfive:
I want to know untill now has SH-06D been rooted?
I wish someone could dump ROM or launcher from SH-06 NERV version:fingers-crossed:
I'm working on the translation for root on Sharp Aquos SH-06D.
Please give me one or two more days!
That is highly impossible, having full root in J Phone are hard enough. Unlocking the bootloader is a wet dream for almost everyone who likes J phone

I'm trying to hard reset my SH-06D, but I can't do it via settings-privacy. I can select to wipe, but nothing happens.
Any suggestions?
I got the Nerv edition
Hey man, how did the rooting go? I ordered the Nerv edition of this phone, and I want to root it (mainly to pair my sixaxis controller for psx emulation) but wanted to consult with you first as a precaution.
Here is the a rough translation of the root guide found here:
http://itsuki.ddo.jp/gadget/index.php?SH-06D
Big thanks to testnumero for the help!
Please don't ask me directly for help. I don't own this phone.
A quick look at root
• With root you can freeze preinstalled bloatware and backup application settings and game save data.
• 3D content from /system can be played on other devices and 3DTVs.
Unresponsive apps can be frozen which will help the device run smoother and have a longer battery life.
Applications which are frozen disappear from your drawer making the device look cleaner and keeping your mind at ease.
• The process is similar to the one used for SH-01D.
• If an update patch is released or the Android 4.0 summer update is released then this guide will no longer be of help.
(Make sure your device is the following: Android Ver. 2.3.5 Build No. 01.00.03)
• If your device becomes a paperweight I won’t be held responsible.
• Follow this guide at your own risk.
↑
Preparations – Before you begin
• Install Android SDK and SHARP ADB USB drivers and make to use ADB.
• 「Settings」→「Applications」→「Development」→「USB Debugging」 checked.
• SH-06D and micro USB cable to connect to your PC
↑
Required Files
• Download "shdisphook" from the following link and extract.
http://goo.gl/Bs6Iq
• Download shsdgetroot-omap4.zip from the following link and extract.
http://www1.axfc.net/uploader/File/so/78144
• Download shbootgetroot-su.lzh from the following link and extract.
http://www.mediafire.com/?6i0n32jlwbxe8cp
• Keep all extracted files in the same folder.
↑
Creating files
• Create a file named "shdisphook.bat" in the folder with the extracted files.
Copy and paste the following and save.
adb push onload.sh /data/local/
adb push libsdservice_jni.so /data/local/
adb push shdisphook /data/local/
adb shell chmod 755 /data/local/onload.sh
adb shell chmod 755 /data/local/shdisphook
adb reboot
adb wait-for-device shell /data/local/shdisphook
pause
• Create a file named "oncmd.sh" and put the following in the description.
(Save the line break as LF)
chmod 777 /cache
chmod 666 /cache/recovery
• Replace the contents of the file "installfile.cmd" with the following and save.
adb shell /data/local/shsdgetroot-omap4 -c "/system/bin/mount -o rw,remount -t rootfs rootfs /"
adb shell /data/local/shsdgetroot-omap4 -c "/system/bin/chmod 777 /sbin"
adb push su /sbin
adb push busybox /sbin
adb shell /data/local/shsdgetroot-omap4 -c "/system/bin/chown 0.0 /sbin/su"
adb shell /data/local/shsdgetroot-omap4 -c "/system/bin/chown 0.0 /sbin/busybox"
adb shell /data/local/shsdgetroot-omap4 -c "/system/bin/chmod 6755 /sbin/su"
adb shell /data/local/shsdgetroot-omap4 -c "/system/bin/chmod 755 /sbin/busybox"
adb shell /data/local/shsdgetroot-omap4 -c "/sbin/busybox --install -s /sbin"
adb shell /data/local/shsdgetroot-omap4 -c "/system/bin/chmod 755 /sbin"
adb shell /data/local/shsdgetroot-omap4 -c "/system/bin/mount -o ro,remount -t rootfs rootfs /"
adb push Superuser.apk /data/local/
adb shell /system/bin/pm install -t -f -r /data/local/Superuser.apk
adb shell /system/bin/rm /data/local/Superuser.apk
exit /b
↑
Step 1
• Open command prompt to the folder with the extracted files and navigate to "shdisphook".
Execute "shdisphook.bat". (You can also just double click on the .bat file)
• The device will reboot so just wait for the [Press any key to continue] message to appear.
If more than a few minutes have passed and nothing has appeared then, force close and execute "shdisphook.bat" again.
(When you fail your PC will reboot or your SH-06D WiFi will start. There is a high rate of success when you immediately unlock the lock screen for your device when it goes to sleep.)
↑
Step 2
• Open command prompt and send oncmd.sh to SH-06D to change permissions
adb push oncmd.sh /data/local/oncmd.sh
adb shell chmod 755 /data/local/oncmd.sh
• 「Settings」→「microSD and device storage」→「Unmount microSD」 This will execute the file "oncmd.sh" , which was sent to the device earlier.
(Cancel the message for 「Unmount microSD」)
• Enter the following commands.
adb shell mv /cache/recovery /cache/recovery_
adb shell ln -s /dev/shsd /cache/recovery
• Execute the following adb shell ls -l /cache and if you see the following message you have succeed.
drwxrwx--- root root 2011-11-11 03:39 lost+found
drw-rw-rw- system cache 2012-01-24 10:48 recovery_
lrwxrwxrwx shell shell 2012-03-02 13:24 recovery -> /dev/shsd
• Next execute adb shell ls -l /dev/shsd you should get the following message if you were successful.
crw-rw-rw- system cache 231, 0 2012-04-23 02:01 shsd
↑
Step 3
• Execute adb push shsdgetroot-omap4 /data/local
• Execute adb shell /system/bin/chmod 755 /data/local/shsdgetroot-omap4
• Execute adb shell /data/local/shsdgetroot-omap4 -v -m -u
• The “# “mark will appear there will be no response. Close command prompt for now.
• Execute installfile.cmd
• Check if you have root with the following adb shell→su
↑
After you reboot
• After you reboot you will lose root rights so execute shdisphook.bat→Cancel Unmount microSD →execute installfile.cmd and you should have root again.
The reason why you cannot do a clean wipe or nothing happen is because the recovery section has been move out into another location, causing it to not loading the recovery correctly.
Check with SH-01d part, I have asked similar question there and I revert the recovery in order to wipe the phone..
You need to rearrange the following section like on the sh-01d when you hit this part:
(Following is Original command that you relocated the recovery for root)
adb shell mv /cache/recovery /cache/recovery_
adb shell ln -s /dev/shsd /cache/recovery
And replace with the revert command found on sh-01d thread. You will need to redo all the steps from step 1 to step 2 and STOP AFTER YOU REVERT the RECOVERY.
You should be able to do a full wipe with no issue then. DO NOT POWER DOWN or RESET!!! You will have to REDO it again as it REQUIRES SHDSIHOOK to input shell command.
Hope it helps
waiting！！！！！！！！！！
This worked on my prime which appeared to have a partial root after upgrading with the OTA update, i was able to restore full root by running a few commands.

Did you use OTA rootkeeper to get that partial root or did you just blindly upgrade to jelly bean from rooted ics?

I had my root backup from OTA rootkeeper which i tried to restore, and didnt get anywhere with. I then followed the instructions there and got root perfectly.
If you were not rooted before upgrading then i dont believe it will be any good for you.
Did about the same, worked for me
Upgraded with the manual upgrade (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1909820) because OTA failed, protected root with OTA rootkeeper. After update i only had partial root but i could put the important files back to where they belong, after all i could still move/copy/rename files everywhere.
I used rootkeeper but it wouldnt offer to restore root after OTA upgrade. In ADB I can't copy so /system/bin I get "read only" message. I want but if I type SU root and hit enter superuser log shows "Shell .... Allowed" Is that a good sign?
I was able to use adb install for busybox.apk and it said success. I just can't seem to move SU ?!
Oh, after I couldnt keep root I thought (mistakenly) that the stock rom I had dowloaded from ASUS would be able to be applied. Put it on the SD card, got the triangle for upgrade in the bottom right corner. Tapped on it, it said upgrade available on SD. I tapped "OK" then it went on to say it was a downgrade and I tapped "ok". Then it said it was going to wipe and I tapped "OK" All that it did was wipe =/ All of the above about the SU log and installing busybox has come after a wipe.

I think your root is still good. You check with the RootExploer or ES Explorer that will show you how to access or modify files in /system partition.

I was fine until I reached sysrw. I substituted sysrw with mount -o remount,rw '' /system as such:
adb push su /data/local/tmp/
adb push Superuser.apk /data/local/tmp/
adb push busybox /data/local/tmp/
adb shell
chmod 6755 /data/local/tmp/su
chmod 755 /data/local/tmp/busybox
chmod 644 /data/local/tmp/Superuser.apk
mount -o remount,rw '' /system
cp /data/local/tmp/su /system/bin
cp /data/local/tmp/busybox /system/bin
cp /data/local/tmp/su /system/xbin
cp /data/local/tmp/busybox /system/xbin
cp /data/local/tmp/Superuser.apk /system/app/
reboot
Also, remember if you had to wipe your data like I had to in order to fix an issue with the upgrade when you select the Developer options from the Settings menu you need to turn them on. There is an off button found on the top right hand corner of the screen. You can press it to toggle the Developer settings on.

I couldnt use sysrw either, it said not found. I copied your mount command and it didnt work. What looks like a regular double quote copies as two single quotes, which is it? If I use a double quote it doesnt throw an error and the prompt turns to > in the shell.
Doesnt seem to work for me either way =/
This is what I get on your mount command:
mount -o remount,rw '' /system
mount: Operation not permitted
Ok so doubting I actually have root in ADB When I type SU and hit enter this is what I get:
1|[email protected]:/ $
Not #
The normal prompt is like above without the 1| at the start.
Previously I can change R/W in the Root Explorer and type su with '#' in terminal.
After applying this method, I lost the su in both...
In Superuser, I still see the app list there. Any hints to fix it?
I had exactly the same problem and found the solution here : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1911261
After I root my Asus Prime and restore it to factory setting,my Asus got problem to log in.I send it to Asus service centre and the technician said that my Asus cannot be use anymore due to software missing cause by root.The motherboard need to replace new.Is it true?
Tech is either ignorant or trying to squeeze ya for money. Root removes no software and even if it did their standard repair procedures would restore it. I'd be surprised if a factory reset didn't do the trick in fact.

I know there has been a lot of tutorials how to root the Xperia X10 mini. But almost a lot of them don't work (for me). But there is one way to root it.
It is very simple, you need to follow the instructions, then it will be easy.
1.) We need to download Android SDK, link: http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html
2.) We need to download SuperOneClick.rar, link: http://shortfuse.org/
3.) Unzip the SuperOneClick .zip and pull out the su-v3, busybox, Superuser.apk, psneuter, and GingerBreak files, and rename the su-v3 into su, and place all the files in adt-bundle-windows-x86-20130219/sdk/platform-tools. I recommend changing the "adt-bundle-windows-x86-20130219" to something simple like "Android SDK".
4.) Now, you have to use CMD, open it, and type the location of your files, type like this, cd C:/Users/Me/Desktop/Android SDK/sdk/platform-tools.
5.) Now plug in your phone, and make sure your debugging and unknown sources are on.
6.) Now write all the following commands, one at a time!
adb devices
adb push psneuter /data/local/tmp
adb shell
$ cd /data/local/tmp
$ chmod 777 psneuter
$ ./psneuter
adb kill-server
adb devices
adb shell
# 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
And now u are all done! Your phone will reboot, then download Root Checker, and check if you are rooted.
If you write "adb shell" and you don't get "#" in the ending (not the beginning) but "$" then you have done something wrong, check everything that I wrote. If u have some problems, don't be shy to tell me.
Thanks a bunch, this tutorial was the only one that worked for me. What's more, I saw the procedure step-by-step so I saw exactly what was going on.
