Good day!
My android phone is Alcatel OT-978, Gingerbread 2.3.7. After days of extensive research, I really couldn't find a way to root my phone. I had tried each of these methods but they all failed:
- z4root;
-super oneclick;
-gingerbreak;
-zergrush;
-psneuter;
I had stumbled upon some random post on the net saying that another workaround is by "hacking" the bootloader. Using ADB, I had these files on my phone:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
My problem is, I can't use the command adb pull on the concerned mtdblock. Every time I use the mentioned command, RE: adb pull /dev/block/mtdblock4 c:\users\ash^03\desktop\system.img, i get the result REMOTE OBJECT '/DEV/BLOCK/MTDBLOCK4' NOT A FILE OR DIRECTORY
Can somebody help me on this. I really need to "hack" or have somebody root my bootloader for me to be able to gain a full root on my device.
BTW, when i type "adb root", it says 'adb cannot run as root in production builds."

I seem to be having trouble getting the recovery and su file to go thru in command prompt. I have put the recovery.img and su.zip into the sdk tools folder but I am getting this error.

"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",

This is the guide I am using: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1239821
I've searched the thread and the main issues in that thread is getting the unlock code to work but I'm past that, my bootloader is unlocked.
also do I need to be in fastboot when trying to push the recovery and su, cause I am not in fastboot while trying to do this.
You don't need to be in fastboot, just use adb when you're booted to the OS. I see that you're in your tools folder, but are you sure that's where your adb driver is? Certain sdk versions have it in the platform/tools folder. Check that and make sure that you're in the folder that has the adb driver.

I figured it out. adb was in folder i created to unlock the BL. Im finally squared away though after hours of frustration.
Trying to configure HAVS voltages on my kernel (HTC Evo). Voltage apps function just fine, but I'm trying to push custom voltages using an init.d script (the way viperMOD does -- which also works). Only, my solution isn't.
At first I ran the script from the terminal and it claimed the file vdd_levels_havs doesn't exist (when it clearly does -- I can browse to and view the file). I tried just slipping the file into init.d, rebooting and having it run from there. No voltage change whatsoever. I'm sure it's in the right place -- I'm not Linux noob.
After rebooting, I tried running the file directly again, and strangely it claims the script itself doesn't even exist, when ls clearly says it's right there.
Here's a screen of the weirdness:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
What the hell is going on?
I've been trying to restore root to my phone after updating to leaked JB with no luck. I unfortunately forgot to update the su binaries before making a backup so Voodoo is no help. I took a look at Matt's script and ran it trying to get it to work and it installed superSU, but I still don't have root access with it on there. Still tells me permission denied when I do "su" in terminal emulator.
So, I took a look at the script and ran the commands line for line to see what was going on and this is what I get:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Any help would be appreciated as i've been asking this in a couple places and getting ignored.
Alright so I checked permissions on the su-backup and determined that it looks like he's trying to use setuid to inherit permissions. I finally got it working anyway. If they haven't fixed this issue in the first place then couldn't you just do what the original rage against the cage exploit did?

Hello everyone,
I've looked everywhere but I can't find a issue to my problem
I'm trying to recover data from a phone (contacts, photos, text messages, etc...) with a broken screen (no touch, barely some color in some spots)
I've managed to root the phone, to install CWM and to boot to recovery mode but when I connect to the phone with adb shell I can't see anything in the data folder except media, which is empty
When I do adb root I have a message "Already in root mode" and when I launch the shell I seem to by in root user (whoami returns root)
Does this mean that the internal storage is dead ? I have no clue what to do next ...
Here is a screen of what I can see on the phone :
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Thanks in advance for your help
