ADB and tons of issues

So I've been trying to root my thunderbolt for about a week with no success.
At first I used the method here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1005292
It has continually failed on step 2, tried on different computer also. No luck.
I gave up on rooting it for a few days/
Since the first step went through I am downgraded, running 1.03.605. It's got quite a few bugs and when I try to software update from the phone nothing is found. All I really wanted was to get it to the current firmware to fix connectivity bugs but after searching high and low I still have no idea how to/if it is possible.
I assumed I may have to just root it at this point, so I gave the manual root on theMikMik a shot. While setting up my ABD everything runs smooth until I try to enter commands into abd. I get permissions denied, every time. I've tried looking for an answer to this with no luck. Guide I used found here: http://www.themikmik.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=66&t=256
So my main question, is there any way to get the latest firmware onto my phone without rooting? I've tried downloading an update, naming it update.zip then updating from bootloader with no luck.
If not, what the hell am I doing wrong that is denying me permission in ABD. I've turned anti-virus off, rebooted etc.
assuming adb is properly set up (drivers working), you've checked Debugging and unchecked Fastboot (under setting->apps->dev), plugged the phone into your computer, and typing "adb devices" acknowledges your phone is connected, and you are in fact on the downgrade as you said you were. Make sure PG05IMG.zip is removed from your sdcard then...
Go here and start at step 5: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=996616
You were getting permission denied errors with those adb commands on mikmik because you are not rooted yet hence the "rooted evo" under requirements.
Edit:
While that may should work, I believe you could start from the beginning with Step 1 using the link I just posted as well. Just don't flash the old firmware (1.0.3.605 that you currently have) after you go through that for any reason (see: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1008824).

*Facepalm*
So I tried what you said from that guide, step 5 failed for me. So I tried from the beginning...still failed.
So, I decided to record it and hopefully you can tell me what I'm doing wrong.
Link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o2AFZEIVIio
Figured that'd be a better way to get the help I need with less reading on your part.
Sorry, I was commuting home from work.
According to the output of "adb shell" you're either already rooted or psneuter has already been run since boot. (note the "#" output instead of "$").
There's no reason to run psneuter to gain permroot again. So once you see that pound sign, start from a two steps down where it says "/data/local/busybox md5sum /data/local/misc.img". IOW, skip that particular "/data/local/psneuter" step.
And I would highly recommend that if you are going to copy/paste, only copy one line at a time to prevent errors.
Off to grab dinner. I'll check back later when I can but hopefully you will be good from here on out.
Edit:
I'm perfectly happy with walking you through it (and I believe you should be fine after this post anyway) but if you still wanted to use that easyroot method that you started with you might want to read this if you haven't http://bit.ly/qsvOkN. I didn't use that easyroot method but it looks like if a step fails, people just run it again until it works. /shrug
I like adb and people should know how to use it anyway.

[Q] LG Enlighten (Verizon Wireless) Root

I have an LG Enlighten (Verizon Wireless), not an LG Optimus Slider (Virgin Mobile), running Android 2.3.4 (Gingerbread). I am in desperate need of a root solution. I have searched the online forums to no avail. I have put the phone up for sale for fear that this device may never be rooted. I am calling on XDA Developers to produce a working root before I ultimately rid myself of this thing. To add, I tried running Android SDK (adb). No go. The instructions threw me even after trying them repeatedly on several different occasions. It could be that my laptop
has no internet access, but I'm not entirely sure.
I really enjoy this phone and have customized it to the point of
exhaustion. All I'm waiting for now is ROOT! Please help ASAP...
Have you attempted to root it? Have you tried Superoneclick, z4root, and/or Gingerbreak?
Re: Have you tried to root it?
Yes, I have. Unfortunately, with no success. Results are as follows:
Z4Root - The end result is my phone takes me back to the previous screen (internet, home, games, music, etc.). It begins the rooting process... acquiring shell root. Then it just sticks for approximately 30 seconds and then closes. I have repeated the process on several occasions in the event that something unusual happened the first time around. But the result is always the same.
Gingerbreak - This app just ultimately hangs, endlessly. Approximately two hours worth before I just quit in frustration. But all online forums claim it should take no more than 15 minutes tops. I should also note that I read Z4Root and Gingerbreak will not work on rooting Android 2.3.4 due to the patching of an exploit. However, I did not update my phone to this firmware. It came preinstalled. And I have not found a procedure for downgrading (sbf'ing) an LG Enlighten.
SuperOneClick - This is the one I'm currently trying still. I can't recall the website, but in addition to SOC, it also requires the use of adb from Android SDK. The problem I'm coming across is the laptop I'm using to perform this action is without internet access (which I've tried feverishly to restore to no avail). And I'm thinking this is what the issue may be, but I'm not entirely sure. The only access I have to the internet currently is on my phone. However, I make a weekly trip to the college library (no restrictions on installing, downloading, etc.). So maybe I can try something there.
For the past month, I've been doing extensive research online trying to find any and all information in regards to resolving this matter. A few sites have blamed Verizon for crippling their Android devices from performing certain functions. For instance, this particular device has no "boot into recovery mode" (which I confirmed with a Verizon tech support person). Had it, I easily could've updated with the .zip file from my SD card (which I've now deleted since it's rendered useless).
I did read today that the next version of SuperOneClick v2.3 (to come out at a later date) will include the option for the forced inclusion of adb debugging/android files which could be the solution to my problems. Possibly.
I apologize if this reply post seems a little long-winded. But I wanted to provide you with all the information I have available in order to better recieve instruction as how to proceed forward. I will continue to try the SuperOneClick in hopes that I will acquire root. But if not, I will rely on the expertise of those in the XDA community.
Thanks,
Centim6

Ok. I found the solution. There is a video on youtube which shows you how to do it. And it works. I now have a rooted device! Finally. Thank you for your assistance.

Hi, I too have an LG Enlighten from Verizon wireless. I was just wondering how your root process went? Did the phone work well afterwards? Also do you by any chance have a link to or at least remember the name of the video you watched which helped you to get your phone rooted.
thanks in advance, Angel

seeing as there is no link, I would say no.
secondly, the video posted and my own research indicates that root was possible only if it was v. 2.3.3. There isn't anything available for 2.3.4.
I have rooted my LG Enlighten which was on Gingerbread 2.3.4. I made a tutorial over at phandroids forums since xda does not let me post links to outside sources. Just google Lg Enlighten root and you will find it in the first or second link. Enjoy.
PS: If you do not believe me I made a video of my phone rooted on youtube. My user name there is the same as xda and I posted pictures at the end of my tutorial. Gingerbread 2.3.4 is fully exploitable on the LG Enlighten.

I think it would a great idea to include which firmware you used this on. I kbow for a fact that it fails on v4 and v5.
And its not that I don't believe you (I do btw) its just the lack of specifics are going to excite someone and they'll leave you a nasty message cause they thought it would work. So, just a heads up:

Firmware version:

I can confirm that the new VS700ZV5 update crippled the ability of this phone to root. I just tried the gingebreak and it didnt work. Any way around this?
Same here, android 2.3.4; firmware VS700ZV5.
I haven't been able to get root to work with SoC....
Any chance someone will figure a way around this update?
please reply to root on you tube PLEASE!

Extremely frustrated and hoping you will share this link. I to have tried everything to root my Enlighten to no avail and would appreciate your help more than I can explain! Please! Thank you and congats!
I had my phone rooted, then verizon put out an update, and now I can't root it. I think we're screwed until sombody figures out a new method.
Model: LGVS700
Firmware: VS700ZV5
im not sure if this will help but here, i found this claiming to be able to root the phone.
First, you need the file hboot_2.xx_soff-V8.9.zip, download it.
Unzip it into c:evoroot on your pc.
Second, put your LG Enlighten into development mode by
going to Settings->Applications->Development and turn USB
debugging on.
Third, connect your LG Enlighten to your computer and set
your USB to Just charge.
Fourth, if you get errors with drivers, install their HTC drivers.
(You can also install HTC Sync, but it is bulky!)
Fifth, open up a command prompt by typing cmd.
Sixth, type the following commands: (Or copy and paste,
easier!)
Code:
cd evoroot
adb push root/unrevoked-forever.zip /sdcard/
adb push root/mtd-eng.img /sdcard/
adb push pc36img/PC36IMG-ENG.zip /sdcard/PC36IMG.zip
adb push pc36img/PC36IMG-MR.zip /sdcard/PC36IMG-MR.zip
adb push root/flash_image /data/local/
adb -d install -r root/z4root.apk
Seventh, go to your phone and launch Z4Root app. Then select
temp root and wait until its done.
Eighth,go back to command prompt and type:
Code:
adb shell
su
If you get a pound(#) sign, that means you have temp root,
which just gives you temporary root so we can now install
permanent root.
ninth, go back to command prompt and type the following:
Code:
chmod 0755 /data/local/flash_image
./data/local/flash_image misc /sdcard/mtd-eng.img
sync
And reboot to bootloader mode by typing:
Code:
reboot bootloader
When bootloader mode starts up, it will look for PC36IMG.zip
and after about 3 minutes ask you if you want to install
PC36IMG.zip.
Say Yes by hitting the volume up button, it should now install
the new zip file, should take about 10 minutes. Go grabs some
coffee and come back.
Eleventh, reboot when its done by hitting the volume up
button.
It will reboot into the OS and we dont want that so takes the
battery out and puts it back in it. Then go back to the
bootloader by hitting the power button while holding down
the volume down button.
Choose Bootloader and wait until you get the triangle sign and
type:
Code:
adb push recovery /
adb shell busybox Cinstall /sbin
adb shell nohup /sbin/recovery
&
Go back to your LG Enlighten and you should see green
menus.
Choose install zip from sd card and choose unrevoked-
forever.zip
After that installs, Choose MS-USB
Go to your computer and delete PC36IMG.zip, then rename
PC36IMG-MR.zip to PC36IMG.zip.
Then power off your LG Enlighten, power back on by pressing
Power Button while holding down the Volume Down button,
this should get you back into bootloader mode.
Simply wait and when it asks to install the update, hit the
Volume Up button.
then reboot your LG Enlighten, your device should now be
rooted with Recovery menu then you can flash new ROMs for
LG Enlighten.
LG Enlighten root
I have lg enlighten running 2.3.4 and it is rooted with super user and rom toolbox working. I used POOT.APK which can be found on google. It worked well and everything went smooth. It is a simple and easy to use application. (You can use either SU or SSU)
any way to update it to ics? i have one

Will pay u 2 remote root 4me

[UPDATED::4-30-2013]
I got it rooted by using HTC Quick Root.
I am so aggravated. I have tried rooting my rhyme and I just can't figure out how do it. I have rooted my tablet, my hubby's samsung stratosphere, jail broke a couple iPod, so I'm sorta familiar with the whole process. I unlocked the bootloader already. I have tried multiple ways & no luck. I'm sure I'm just missing some step. I'm just fed up with it & don't even want to fool with it anymore. But I want my phone rooted so I can get rid of all this Verizon nonsense I don't need since I flashed my phone to Pageplus. Can someone PLEASE help me? I will pay you to do it if you can remotely.

Have you tried the steps in 1st post here: http://androidforums.com/rhyme-all-things-root/594445-htc-rhyme-new-root-method.html ?
... but instead of the "adb shell mount /system" command - boot into recovery (hold pwr+vol up), select "mounts & storage" (or very similar, depending on CWM edition) - and select "/system".
Then carry on with the rest of the commands.
Or - there's this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1343114
Seeing how you've already unlocked the bootloader, i guess it shouldn't be much of a problem.

Thats probably them problem right there. The first 2 commands didnt give me any errors when I got to "adb shell mount /system" command it said such&such error or file not found... something like that. I dont remember its been a couple weeks now. I will try running the commands the way you said.
Thank you! Wish me luck because Im not sure my phone will survive this go-round lol.

[Q] Impossible Rooting Polaroid PSPR355

Hello XDA community, this is my first thread, i had never needed to post anything cause i always find everything im searching for in this awesome community... until now :crying:
Last week I got a new android device which is made by Polaroid, model: PSPR355, its a pretty low class device but I thought it would be enough for me.... then i realize I needed root permissions, for obvious reasons... easy I thought... i had rooted many devices...how hard can it be...right?... WRONG! :crying: . The first problem I encountered were the drivers..couldnt find em anywhere... fortunatelly i found a tutorial were i could install the drivers in a different way...although I took 2 days to do this...Ive been about 5 days trying to root my phone.... Ive tryied about 10 different programs with their different versions... and any of those rooted my phone, nor Oneclikroot, nor Unlockroot, etc, etc..... I really gave up trying to find something on the web cause i didnt even find the phone on its official site, so I came her defeated asking for any solution, idea, or if you want to help me with commands, a programm or anything else to root my phone, Im not even afraid of trying programming (Im trying to learn how to make roms, kernels, etc for this phone cause theres nothing on the web abou it but this is a theme for another time) if you wanted to help me i would really appreciate it, im a little desperate so anything would come useful thanks everyone and I hoppe you can help me!!! :fingers-crossed:

I would recommend trying the towelroot application. It can be downloaded from here, just click on the orange lambda to download the tr.apk file. Then open towelroot follow the instructions in the application. After the device reboots I would recommend downloading, Root Checker Basic form the Play Store and running that to make sure your device is rooted. Finally install SuperSU, and you should be good to go.
First thanks for answering so fast shimp208! And I guess I forgot to tell that I was in Mexico and Im using Telcel's network, I downloaded and installed the apk file but it doesnt starts I click the button pops up a black screen and then closes to the last app I used...any idea about this error...or if its beacuse of the carrier, by the way the device has Android 2.3.7 I dont know if it has something to do with this error

Does it present an error message of any kind before it force closes? Try uninstalling and then re-installing the application, and if that doesn't work go to application manger under settings, find the towelroot application and select the options to clear it's cache and data. The carrier won't have any effect in this case, and with it being Android 2.3.7 your device most definitely has a kernel build date before June 3rd, 2014.

No it simply closes without showing anything, and without even giving the "Force Close" message, i thought it was because i first installed it on the sd card, or because of not enough space but no, I moved it to the phone and uninstalled some apps I had, I uninstalled and installed towelroot twice and it didnt work, I installed the v1 of it and i got to the [make it ra1n] screen but when I click the button it closes immediately again without any error message

Very interesting, while in theory the app should work for any kernel build date earlier then June 3rd, 2014 the app many not be compatible with devices running an Android version less then 4.x.

Since you have the usb drivers working on your computer, try booting into the bootloader and using fastboot to see if the command fastboot devices returns anything. If the computer see's the device in fastboot that's a good sign. If your device doesn't have a locked bootloader which it likely doesn't, then I can try and create a rooted system image for you to flash in fastboot. Provided fastboot see's your device if it does, if you can provide me an adb dump of your /system folder then I will see what can be done.

Unfortunately if fastboot doesn't show your device without any other flashing utility, even with the system dump there is no way to flash a rooted system image if it was created.

Since your computer recognizes the device and installed the driver and shows the device when in fastboot mode that's a good sign. The Android with the exclamation point is part of normal stock Android system recovery, it just means that the recovery menu has been hidden (You should be able to get the menu to appear by pressing the power and both the volume buttons in recovery mode). To dump /system run the following command:
Code:
adb pull /system
Then please send me a link to the /system dump, from there I will make a rooted system image.
Factory Rooted??
Hey guys I'm new to this so I may be wrong but has anybody thought to check if the Polaroid PSPR355 comes Factory Rooted??? I had a Polaroid Tablet, PID something(I forget the name), which I tried for hours to root resulting in: bootloop, hard reset, root, bootloop, hard reset, root, bootloop, hard reset, about to give up. So I Googled how to root Polaroid PID something (again, I forget the name), and I come to a post somewhere(forgot that too) that tells me my Tablet and similar Polaroid electronic devices(as well as most electronic devices coming from China) are factory rooted due to some Chinese law. So after the last hard reset, I downloaded HowToRoot App to check if my Polaroid Tablet is, in fact, rooted. I press the little lock button(root checker) and I find that, to my surprise, my Polaroid Table is in fact rooted. So all I had to do was download SuperSU from Google Play Store and Update Binary when prompted and I was Super User. Don't know if this helps but it worked for me.

Oppo R7sf bricked while trying to install TWRP

This relates to the recommendation in this post.
I followed this guide and got as far as step 25. I have used the "by-name" in the 'dd' 'of' path (instead of "byname").
The device appeared to go into a reboot and froze with the Oppo logo as described in step 26.
Unfortunately fastboot and adb cannot communicate with the device anymore. All I see is a battery charge symbol on the phone when pluged into the PC. Attempting to start the phone normally or in recovery briefly displays the logo and then nothing.
Please help.
you must have made a mistake while following the guide.
it worked for countless others.

Trying a few other things I did manage to get some sort of communication via the fastboot command however attempting to unlock or flash twrp returns a permission error.
If I was able to reestablish adb comms I could try the steps again, but I still can't get that working.
Any thoughts?

The word document is outdated but that's what I got from the OEM.
But basically what you have to do to unbrick your device is to plug in your phone to your PC.
Install the Driver in the package. Start the exe file. Read the instructions.txt file. Start flashing.
Why you are not successful with the guide and others are. I can not tell you. I would carefully read the steps and look out for copy/paste errors.
I need help too
Sorry to jump on this but I am in the same situation could you PM me the fix please.
Thanks and respect in advance
