Hello.
This is my first post so first off I would like to say thank you to the members of XDA because I have been helped a great deal in the past by simply reading some of the posts on this forum.
That being said, I have a problem that I could not find the answer to after hours of searching.
I am trying to Debrand/Root my Rogers X10a using the Exploid method
forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=7490733#post7490733
After I enter my Device ID into the appropriate file, I ran RootX10a_v2.cmd as instructed. However, once I try to run step 1 i get the following message:
"unable to access jarfile X10flash.jar"
Ive tried connecting the phone in flash mode to different USB ports and using different Device IDs however nothing has worked.
Any ideas?
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
I have just the thing for you matey. I can't post a link sorry but google search for Universal Androot and download and install it on your phone.
It allows to you 1 click root or unroot your device without any fuss and should allow you to root it when 2.1 is released as it contains the superuser files for 1.5 / 1.6 and 2.0 - 2.2.
I am using it and it works brilliantly. Hope this helps

Welcome to xda! the answer is in the forum but i can't remember where.
Set up the path to the sdk tools in your environment variables.
Cheers
Gav
Thanks for the responses.
steve- are you sure that the universal androot works with the x10? another concern is that i also wanted to debrand my phone to get rid of rogers bloatware so how would I solve that issue if I can't access the x10flash.jar?
gavriel- sorry. could you explain in a little more detail what you said? i don't quite understand what you mean.
Thanks!
The one click root seems simple enough.
My problem now is with debranding.
Ive tried the method where you switch the files in SEUS (ive also tried PC Companion) just before it installs onto your phone and that has not worked. It says every time that the installation has failed.
Does anyone have any other ideas as to how I can debrand my phone?
Thanks!
For sure. I may be wrong but ill explain it as I understand it.
Basically when your PC is trying to use a jar file it looks in a particular area. I'm not sure where it looks though. Obviously your jar file isn't in that directory or you wouldn't get that error. So, by adding it as an environment variable it will look in the directory u added for that file.
The environment variables is found somewhere in the system settings. I can't remember where. Once you have found it you should find the path to the jar you are trying to access. Copy that path and paste it and the end of the environment variables. Don't erase anything that's in there. If need be seperate that path from the one before with a ; (semicolon). Save it and try running the jar again. It should work.
Good luck and hopefully it helps.

It means that Java can't find the X10flash.jar file. Do you have that file in the same directory as DeviceID.txt? Also, do you have the latest version of 32-bit Java installed?
To solve my debranding problems I had to use the 32 bit update 20, not 21 (which is the latest) and you need the jdk and the jre, hope that helps

I have been able to get the update tool software to flash the kdz file and I over right the bin in the process.
The phone flashes fine. But, after flashing I still have no root at all. I'm following every step by step instruction.

I'm so happy that the Lelus Root method works. But, not for me. I have no other machine to use this method on that does not run windows 8.
When I attempt to put the phone in Software update mode when trying to flash the kdz file, windows 8 crashes because of driver issues. Has anyone else had this issue? Or could maybe point me in the right direction into fixing this so i can obtain root for my L9? :highfive: Team work guys, team work. *self five*

Just sent you a pm asking about this issue. Sorry for not having any patience.
since that is the case, im even more confused now than ever.
I have tried uninstalling drivers and everything, still crashes. Fresh install is not an option seeing I have no way to backup my data.

Not sure the situation of your window 8 and no one can help you without proper details, but my friend, in my humble opinion your title "[Q] Lelus root method crashes windows 8" is sort of misleading and may be scaring people from using Lelus method. It sounds like you are telling people that "Lelus root method crashes windows 8, so dont use it."
Make it "[Q] Please help! Why Lelus root method is not working on my windows 8?" to be more precise.
Are sure your clicking the network test flash button? Do not click the start button right under the kdz browser folder thing. There should be a button on the lower right hand. Also run the prgram in compatibility as administrator.

my win8 laptop has a few runtime errors during the flashing process itself, and I have to reboot afterwards, but never something as bad as this. you may be experiencing other problems not related to this phone.
may not be the BEST solution but you could always download tinyXP and virutalbox and try everything in a virtual machine..........
Yea there also virtual xp you can use. I believe is from windows website. Try with cousins or friends computer? Maybe theres will work.
Re: [Q] Lelus root method crashes windows 8
Have you tried other cables? Have you used the other usb ports on your system? Have you checked device manager on your laptop to see if there are other devices with errors? Have you gone to your manufactures Web site to see if there are new drivers or an updated bios?

Switching it from the usb 3.0 port to the 2.0 port worked. I successfully got the phone in s/w mode to run with the software update tool. After the tool finishes my phone reboots. Still no root..... I am following every step....
Its all Security and Compatibility issue. Yesterday, I have done some changes in my Root Guide.
======================
2) Download Root_and_Flash_Guide_byCMahendra(date).zip file (attached with this post) and extract in your C-Drive.
Now you will get three folders named "C:\RootLelus" and "C:\RootFlash" and "C:\shttps"
If these folders need any permissions you should provide in folder security section by adding user "everyone" or "<yourname>" and give full access. (example video) This is Optional and should be done if you have permission errors while flashing. Do it for all three folders.
==================
Also run EXE files with WindowsXP compatibility mode and Run As Administrator, if any trouble. In fact I never did this. Just a suggested workaround.
STILL NOTHING IS GUARANTEED AND MAY NOT WORK FOR YOU.
Do some trial and error and you tell us.:good:

Glad it helped.
I'm trying to root my phone using the Lelus method. As far as I know, I'm following the instructions to the letter. When I get to the actual flashing step, using the ICS T-mobile rom, I get the same "Scheduled Server Maintenance" error that Kevev reported in the guide thread on the development forum. Apparently, he was able to successfully flash, but I don't see any information there as to how he got around the error. I have tried repeatedly and always come up with the same result. Since I can't post yet in a development forum, I have to ask the question here. I must be doing something wrong, but I don't have a clue. I ask your indulgence, and would appreciate any help you can give me.

You get such hiccups if you dont follow the simple instruction first. Many people have habit to extract/save everything on desktop. C drive means C root location of C drive. And you must be logged in as "ADMINISTRATOR USER" on windows 7/8 to avoid access/permission issues.

I'm used to Linux rather than Windows and when possible I put things in a user's home directory rather than the root directory. Since all that the instructions said was C drive, I interpreted that to mean anywhere on the C drive, not the root directory. Now that I put the program in the root directory, everything worked perfectly.
Thanks for your guide!
I just rooted my p769. I had a few hiccups.
Line 5a says optional, but really it's a necessary step if you've never done it once. If you've edited your HOSTS file and are running shttp, then it's not gonna be able to download/update what it needs to. Close shttp and rem out the lines in HOSTS until it updates, the continue as normal.
shttp has to be extracted in C:\
Mine ran from desktop but the 127.0.0.0:9002 test for the girls picture was file not found, look at shttp dialog window and you see it couldn't find the file because it wasn't where it expected it..
Also did you forget to right click and edit UpTestEX_mod2_marwin.exe compatibility tab if you're running win7/8 like it says to?
Once I set it all up according to the image in the thread and clicked "Normal web upgrade test" it gave me an error box. Saying to setup Tool > B2C Client Setup.
After that it was easy sailing. Well other than the fact that some of the KDZ/bin files were either missing, deleted or dropbox blocked the account for excessive use..
I present you all with a new root method provided by the the immaculate jcase. Rooting with this is fairly simple and the only requirement is that you have Jellybean for your device. This has proven to work with a variety of phones on Jellybean, with ICS turning up no rooted results. Thus, you must (!!) have Jellybean on your device.
NOTE: The latest T-Mobile USA OTA update (ver. 20F) is confirmed to still work with this method.
This has proven to work on a variety of phones across the P76* line including:
P769
Phones with the Canada WindMobile ROM
P768e
P768
P760
DO NOT THANK ME. INSTEAD THANK JCASE, WHO DID ALL THE WORK. I'M JUST A PARROT. BAWK.
-----
STEP 1
First, we must make sure you have spritebud. No it isn't a soda/beer mix! You can check for this either via ADB or through the app Terminal Emulator. Unhide the code for your selected method.
ADB:
Code:
adb shell ls -l /system/xbin/spritebud
Terminal Emulator:
Code:
ls -l /system/xbin/spritebud
If you get any error message along the lines of "no such file or directory", then you my friend are unable to root. Otherwise, you should be presented with information about spritebud, and that is your golden ticket to root.
STEP 2
Now that you know whether or not you are able to root, let us carry on for those who can.
I have written a thin guide on achieving root based on the steps that jcase has provided. They are as follows:
Download LGPwn.apk attached to this post
Install LGPwn.apk on your device
Launch LGPwn
READ popup message
Press "root me" to carry on the next part
When Backup has launched, choose Restore
Choose Internal storage
Choose LGPwn
Hit OK at the popup about Cross Model Restore
Make sure the Applications checkbox is checked, then select Continue
Let the app finish the restoring process[/code]
STEP 3
Once your decive has finished the restore process, you may ither reboot your phone from the current screen, or you may immediately head to the Play Store. Whichever choice you make, your next step is to download SuperSu from the Play Store and install it. When prompted, select normal install, and you sohuld be good to go with regards to root.
Congratulations! New root get!

Product Information:
"Backup" and "spritebud" are a setting and application backup/restore system written by Sprite Software and deployed on LG Android smartphones. "Backup" is the end user front end app, and "spritebud" is the service that preforms the backup and restore functions.
Details:
The "spritebud" daemon is started by the init scripts and runs as the root user. Listening on a unix socket, the daemon accepts instructions from the "Backup" app. Using a crafted backup, we can write to, change permission and change ownership of any file, being that "spritebud" is running under the root user.
The crafted backup contains restore data for our exploiting application, "com.cunninglogic.lgpwn". The data includes a 50mb dummy file (a) used to increase our exploit window, su binary (b), a script (c) to install su, and a text file (d) containing the path to our script. All files are owned by the application, and are world write/read/execute. All files are restored in alphabetical order. The entire backup, after compress, is approximately 2mb. The structure of this backup is as follows:
drwxrwxrwx u0_a114 u0_a114 2013-05-28 20:13 files
./files:
- -rwxr-xr-x u0_a114 u0_a114 52428800 2013-05-22 20:06 a
- -rwxr-xr-x u0_a114 u0_a114 91992 2013-05-22 20:07 b
- -rwxr-xr-x u0_a114 u0_a114 251 2013-05-22 20:12 c
- -rwxr-xr-x u0_a114 u0_a114 42 2013-05-22 20:07 d
Prior to restoration, our exploit app runs, watches the process and waits. During restoration, the spritebud daemon first creates the files directory, then sets it's permission and owner. Next it decompresses and restores the "a" file, our 50mb dummy files. During the restoration of "a", our exploit application has time to symlink "d", our text file containing the full path to our script (c), to /sys/kernel/uevent_helper. Upon restoration of file "d", our path is written to uevent_helper. When a hotplug even occurs (which occur every few seconds), the path contained in uevent_helper is execute by the kernel and our script (c) is executed and installs the su binary (b).

All of it goes to JCase (who is an awesome dood ;]) and I'm simply posting here for people who are able to probably get us a much easier root method. Our phones are listed as compatible so I'm thinking a more knowledgeable person should try and see if it works.
Just an FYI the compiled apk attached to the original post does not install for me (even through terminal) so someone will have to do some work on that if possible.

After a reboot I couldn't find the supersu or superuser app but I got superSU from the playstore and it installed and prompted me to update binary after that I'm back rooted again.

I have just tested this and I have no positive results. I'm running ICS, firmware version 10G. I don't know if the KDZ is good enough for a system dump but I'd otherwise have to setup adb to grab a full one after I factory restore. I'll link the KDZ after I find a working link (or someone can assist with that?).
Let me note that I did find it bizarre to download and install SuperSu after the phone rebooted but I do not doubt your instructions.

Afterwards I thought well maybe something with the lelus rooting method made it so Supersu could just simply be reinstalled.(like it was just a placebo effect.) I again unrooted fully, tried to reinstall supersu it refused, and I again rerooted with LGpwn. You can also get supersu before running lgpwn and at the end of the restore a supersu permission thing pops up before restarting.

Why is it strange to install supersu? Exploit jsut installs "su" from Supersu. At the rate chainfire updates, it is a waste of space to include it in the exploit. Use can install and update, much safer.
does /system/xbin/spritebud exist on your device? Has your rom been modified at all?
I only tested this on one device, the rest were based on information obtained from firmware.

I have purposely not modified my device in any way (waiting for an easier root method). Is there any way I can check for success? I normally check if su exists in the app drawer (hence installing after being weird for me) or in system through terminal but I don't see it.
Spritebud does exist and was the first thing I checked for. Differences seeing here are me still being on the pure stock firmware the phone came with and not the jellybean upgrade. I will upgrade if I get nowhere by afternoon tomorrow and I'll see what's up with my phone and jellybean.
By the way, thanks for assisting us users.

I'll run more in the morning. Are you on 20D? I have supersu installed and get no such popup.
I have purposely not modified my device in any way (waiting for an easier root method). Is there any way I can check for success? I normally check if su exists in the app drawer (hence installing after being weird for me) or in system through terminal but I don't see it.
Spritebud does exist and was the first thing I checked for. Differences seeing here are me still being on the pure stock firmware the phone came with and not the jellybean upgrade. I will upgrade if I get nowhere by afternoon tomorrow and I'll see what's up with my phone and jellybean.
By the way, thanks for assisting us users.

It does not install superuser app, just su. If the phone reboots on its own, it should be successful.
You can check for su by installing supersu from the market, and allowing it to update.

Then that firmware is not compatible, its missing the vulnerable component.
I have opened another thread about Ubuntu 14.04 not being able to show the internal storage of the Z2 before. I have it solved with this web pages help; http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2226702. (For Ubuntu 14.04 users, steps 3-4-5 are enough)
Then I have installed Flastool from it's official site and it just worked without needing further interfere from the command line.
How ever when I try to flash a FTF file I get the error shown on the picture. Some problem with header, a .sin file.
I have tried with different FTF files, all from XDA stock firmware topic. So I do not think they all are broken.
Why could it be and does anyone have a solution?
Thanks

Have you installed all of the drivers? That usually fixes that problem.

I believe there are no drivers for the Linux based OSes. If you mean ADB and Fastboot, yes they are installed.
Flashtool already can see and identify my device, it can even tell the version of Android inside.

I think I must add another picture because this one is barely read able.

You need to open flashtool as sudo or superuser
Also that screenshot is indicating a corrupted FTF

Yes!!
Sudo was the answer Thank you very much. This was literally the last thing preventing me from falling in love with Ubuntu, you saved that relationship

ubuntu is terrible and nice
anyways anything android needs to have admin rights or above so ADB, fastboot etc need to be ran in sudo or SuperUser
