Hey guys,
I currently have LeoMar Revolution ROM installed, so phone is rooted, Superuser works fine etc.
Want to start playing around with adb (am new to this) and have the device showing up when running 'adb devices' but i cannot get adb root? Although the device is rooted ok?
So question is (yes i searched but cant find the answer) are phone root and adb root different things?
If so how do i go about getting adb root so i can push apps etc from cmd line?
Thanks in advance

When through cmd, you write su and press enter
If you get a $ sign, then you aren't adb rooted!
If you get a # sign, then you are adb rooted!
Umm, for adb root, I guess use superoneclick root and click shell root, you will get the # sign then!
Thanks for quick reply
I run abd shell and then su and i do get the #.
id=0 so i have root in an 'abd shell' but i cant get root when i just put 'adb root'
Tried to adb push the apks manually in adb shell but adb push doesnt exist in shell?
But i am trying to run a batch file that pushes some hidden apks and i get the error "cannot run as root in production builds" when i run the batch file?
Edit: I may have had a secure kernel installed, will try another kernel and re-try. Is it possible to have su rights when booted up with a secure kernel? That would explain things ..

I have never tried doing pushing/pulling on stock/secure kernels ... so I can't tell you what's going wrong!
Will have a play with flashing other kernels and try again.
I have the yellow triangle show up on boot so i thought i had an insecure kernel. But maybe it is just there from when i installed a previous ROM/insecure kernel?

Yellow triangle means you have a insecure kernel, maybe, Cf-root
"adb root" was only available on the original "Google dev phones" and requires special code somewhere on the phone (in the kernal?) to support it. When you root the phone it does not include the special code for "adb root" to work. I don't know what you need to do to get it working, but most people don't bother because there are other ways to do the same thing.

Can i adb push apk's as su in an adb shell?
If so i guess i can push the apks i want to manually instead of using the batch file which is trying to get adb root.

1. If you use one of my insecure kernels, adb will be running as root, issue "adb root" and it will reply "adb is already running as root"
2. Yes you can adb push when using su root.
3. Why do you want to push APKs? If its to install them, then just use adb install <FILE NAME>
adb root can be used when ro.debuggable is set to 1 in /default.prop
and on every reboot ro.debuggable is replaced by the one in kernel you are using
Why did you bump a thread from November 2011 to post this gem? Is that what "Recognized Contributors" do? I did wonder.
Geez Oinky. I could really take that comment of yours (which is true on so many levels) & run with it ;-) But I can't be arsed these days (like more than a few people on here).
Probably one of the criteria for getting RC status; how many 8 mth old threads you bump over X period of time

The world's first ereader with a color Mirasol display is finally on the market, but unfortunately it's running a severely locked-down Android by the Korean bookstore chain Kyobo. The Kyobo ui is entirely in Korean, the browser blocks downloads, and the reader app is crap. In other words, it's basically useless to anyone outside of Korea. A few enterprising Americans have imported them and been extremely disappointed. Will someone please take a look at this device and see if it can be rooted or if something else can be done to make it of use to the rest of us?
Please use the Q&A Forum for questions Thanks
Moving to Q&A
Nate over at The Digital Reader has a firmware update that supposedly contains all of the installed apps. He is asking for someone to try and hack it. He has a download link for the firmware at The Digital Reader.
I also posted this as a question here on XDA:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1432283
it is rooted since some time already.
files and instructions are in the following archive, but since instructions are in korean, i'll do a writeup below.
(argh! spambot won't allow this link, so you'll have to piece it together...)
www<dot>4shared<dot>com/zip/aLwRc7ZG/mirasol_rooting.html
edit: needed files are also in an attachment below
the gist is that you need to flash the boot partition via fastboot, setup root and busybox, and then modify secure->install_non_market_apps in settings.db.
you will need to have adb and fastboot from the android sdk working on your computer. There are many posts about this elsewhere, so i won't go into the details.
also, i only print filename without path, just find the corresponding file in the mentioned archive and modify the commands accordingly.
flash the boot partition via fastboot
first get your kyobo into fastboot mode (with usb cable attached) by pressing volume-down at bootup. timing here can be a bit finicky, but easiest seems to be to shut it down completely and then press just after pressing power.
issue a 'fastboot devices' on computer, if successful it should give you the response '???????????? fastboot' or similar. if empty or hangs, try again by rebooting the kyobo by pressing power with volume-up held (you can go into fastboot immediately after reboot by volume-down as expected).
when positive response above, you can flash by
Code:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
and then reboot by
Code:
fastboot reboot
edit: simplified fastboot instructions, thanks to smb_gaiden, whose button-poking-fu is strong.
setup root and busybox
with boot partition flashed you now have adb access, so let's use it. let the device boot as normal, and then issue the following.
Code:
adb push busybox /data/local/tmp
adb push fixsu.sh /data/local/tmp
adb push su /data/local/tmp
adb shell chmod 777 /data/local/tmp/busybox
adb shell chmod 777 /data/local/tmp/fixsu.sh
adb shell chmod 777 /data/local/tmp/su
adb shell /data/local/tmp/fixsu.sh
adb shell ln -s /data/local/tmp/busybox /system/xbin/busybox
after this, install some apk's from the archive
Code:
adb install superuser.apk
adb install blackmart.apk
fix non-market apps setting
only thing left is to change a setting to allow non-market apps to be installed. if you don't care about your current settings (locale, etc), you can just push the settings.db from the archive like so:
Code:
adb push settings.db /data/data/com.android.providers.settings/databases/
if you *do* care about your settings, you'll need to pull the settings.db, edit it in some sqlite db editor (set secure->install_non_market_apps to 1) and push the result.
that's it. all rooted. now you just need to install angry birds and yer' set ;-)
Adb doesn't seem to start properly on device
Hello.
I did succeed in flashing the bootloader via fastboot.
However when I boot device - I see adb on usb only for some initial seconds, and then it disappears.
For that matter my device already had December firmware on it.
Any ideas how to activate adb on device?
Thank you,
Leonid
it may be that persist.service.adb.enable is reset, stopping the adbd service. try flashing the attached boot image instead, see if that fixes it. it is the same as above, except that persist.service.adb.enable is ignored.
edit: i took a look at the december update, afaict it should pose no problem (very few changes in there).
Once these steps are done, how do you install google market?
Thanks.
edit: the original instructions were snafu, so i replaced them with something that should actually work.
getting android market running on the kyobo
needed files are in the attached archive.
install like so:
Code:
adb remount
adb push DrmProvider.apk /system/app
adb push MediaProvider.apk /system/app
adb push DownloadProvider.apk /system/app
adb push GoogleServicesFramework.apk /system/app
adb push Market-3.4.4.apk /system/app
adb push init.qcom.post_boot.sh /system/etc
adb push fix-shared-user.sh /data/local/tmp
adb shell chmod 777 /data/local/tmp/fix-shared-user.sh
adb shell /data/local/tmp/fix-shared-user.sh
wait for the reboot, find market in the menu, and off you go (with downloads this time ;-)
if downloads still do not work after this, try re-executing the last line. android periodically writes to the file we are modifying, which might clobber our changes if unlucky.
I am thinking about buying one of these because I have seen it on sale for 50% discount. However, the general reviews aren't too encouraging, so will rooting make any difference to overall performance?

I'm finding the market force closes when downloading an app.
May I seek help from someone who has rooted recently? I am finding it pretty difficult to get into fastboot. So some questions as I continue to play.
Which version is currently rootable? I bought mine this week and want to be sure it is still applicable with the method here.
Do I need a USB driver to work this hack? EDIT: Yes, found with a web search.
When do I press the volume keys? Immediately after power? Similar timing? When I see the flicker on the screen? When I see the logo? Before all that? EDIT: I did not need the volume up key to get into fastboot.
Thanks!
rooting for beginners
Some friends and i ordered the kyobo to solve our eye-problem (nystagm)
We still can´t figure out, how to root it.
Can you please give us some rooting instruktion vor beginners??
It would be so essential for us, as the kyobo is little worth without forgeign apps!
Thank you very much!

Hi, Managed to root my kyobo after about 8 h trying. I installed the firmware update on my kyobo, that is found on the web, as instructed from the SD card. Then I installed fastboot and adb on my computer (search for 'how to install fastboot and adb'), as I found instructions for that as well. To enter fastboot I kept Kyobos, volume down button for about 10 sec, when booting the device (kyobo connected to computer with USB) - nothing happens -> however on my computers command window (cmd), 'fastboot devices' command produces an answer with '? ..' as it should. The biggest issue I had was to get adb working. For this purpose I installed and removed a couple of USB drivers - I don't really know how I got it to work finally.
You can tell if you have succeeded installing a useful usb driver, if you enter the 'adb devices' command in the cmd window and it returns a device number. Then you are ready to go with the rest of the commands/instruction as seen in the insturction of this thread.
From the blackmart application I was able to install many useful applications - the Launcher application can replace the Kyobo "home" application, which is very useful.
I installed android market as well, but so far I have not been able to download and install applications. I think It might be a permission issue between kyobo software and the installed android market?
Hey Guys!
is there a way to root the kyobo via mikrosd?
thanks a lot
Joe
Hey Joe. I've seen you on this forum as well as The Digital Reader asking for help with the Kyobo rooting. I too am a beginner and I'm trying to build up the nerve to try it. Wish us both luck and I hope someone can share rooting-for-dummies with us.
@fatboy1976: rooting won't improve performance in itself. it makes the device better as you can install apps, but ofc the hardware is still the same.
@send2toonie: yes, sorry about that. it worked for me, but only thanks to other changes. it's hard to keep track :-/. i updated the original post with new instructions which should work properly.
@smb_gaiden: hah, excellent, i never tried that! original post updated.
@Joe84: it should be possible to root via microsd by creating an update.zip. i haven't gotten around to trying that yet, but maybe in future. for now this is as simple as it gets.

Hi,
Could you post the OS/processor version and driver name that got adb working for you. If you can also remember the keys pressed to put the Kyobo in the correct boot mode for adb, that would be nice too.
I have also managed to load apps on my Kyobo but that is without having su, Superuser, adb and Android Market working. The above info would be helpful in fixing that. Holding the volume down fir 10 seconds after pressing power on puts the Kyobo into fastboot mode. Adb requires a different mode and set of key presses. This is because there is a menu of boot options being displayed which can't be seen on the Mirasol screen. I suspect this is because of display settings within the boot.img but that is only a guess on my behalf.
hey guys i need some help plz!!!
i had rooted my asus prime.......and my bootloader was still locked, after i rooted my device i also had rootkeeper to protect it incase i update.....to make a long story short, i was so anxious when jelly bean was released i wasnt thinking so i proceeded without temp unroot first before i did the update......so after everything completed i went to restore my root access and it was gone..........was so pissed off, so now from every research i did it says that there is no current root options for the prime jelly bean, anybody knows how to get it back or a way to root again.....im willing to downgrade if i can to get back my root access. please help!!!
You can't downgrade without using the ASUS unlocker tool. Yeah, I know... shocked me too....
There isnt a working root method working as of yet if you are certain you have lost root access.
Some people report having partial root and even having some apps that still retained root. If none of that applies to you then your screwed with the rest of us.

If your prompt changes to # in ADB then that means you should have root access. With that you can restore full root properly to your device. You may be one of the lucky ones that just needs to uninstall and reinstall Superuser.

Well it did give me hope when I saw that but I can't get past stage 11 in this guide . I just cannot get ADB to mount /system as RW . Also entering su in Terminal Emulator gets "permission denied" and Superuser itself "fails" at updating binary.

What is the error when you issue the remount command? if I type remount I get: "remount: not found"
There is also an executeable that came with one of the 10000 root packages I have tried called fsrw. Pushing it to /data/local/tmp with ADB then running it via the adb shell out of that path should try to perform the remount.
If you are getting "operation denied" then you don't really have root =/

hi, to all those other rookies, i did a bit of reading and finally decided to update to JB from stock ICS .28 which was unlocked and rooted.
As i expected i lost root and have just manged to get it back, i first installed twrp for JB using fastboot method.

then after trying [ROOT][TOOL]Debugfs automated root [09/18/2012] and SparkyRoot Apk having read this can possible restore root although not in my case, for me i uninstalled super user and re-flashed via twrp,

Well.. I believe that everyone who'd not consider unlocking their tablets before the JB update would not unlock after losing root just because of the warranty, probably not because they don't know how but because about half of the forumers don't think it's worth the risk considering the hardware instabilities like the green camera module, light bleed etc.
And since you've already flashed a custom recovery you've unlocked more than just root, why not try a custom ROM based on stock JB?
So I bricked my Kinde Fire HDX by changing the build.prop and not fixing permissions. I have adb access but no root (I don't know why :S). Would a factory reset work? If not, how can I get to fix the build.prop or replace it with the old one? thank very much, I've been a couple hours looking for solution but I couldn't find any.
No, a factory reset would only break it further. It would remove your adb access and not fix anything. What makes you think you lost root? Have you tried "adb shell" then "su"?

I used the HDX ToolKit v0.92 to check the root access, and it said "Please grant root on your device"
I've also tried "adb shell", and then "su", but it just returns "su" again. I am new with adb commands so I don't really know what it should show.
Thank you very much for your help
May I ask what version you were on before you bricked?

Nope, I couldn't find any way to get root acces again. But nevermind, my new kindle fire will be here in two days. I am surprised how well amazon costumer service works. Even though I bought my kindle in the US and now I am in Spain (not going back), they called me from the US for free, and they are paying all the shipping costs and sending it by priority shipping.
I am still interested if anyone knows how to fix it, just for fun

It sounds like to me that you still root access you just were not mounted RW in other words it would not boot up completely so you could hit allow to the adb Shell. So you will have to mount system rw manually Try last 3 pages of this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2588608. He can fix you most likely if you can comprehend and follow directions.. or if ur understanding adb is fair you'll be able to probably extract your repair from the thread as is.

I've tried what it is said in the other thread. However, the problem there is that the guy cannot get his device to be recognized.
I've tried this:
adb root
adb shell
su
mount -o rw,remount /system *****- if this fails, try: mount -o remount /system
chmod 644 /system/build.prop
chown root.root /system/build.prop
reboot
But adb root gives me this error:
adbd cannot run as root in production builds
On the other hand if I skip the "adb root" step I cannot go further than "su" since I don't get the "[email protected]:/ #" line.

Well since you do have ADB connectivity why can't you hook a bruting utility and push root ? Romaster_3.4.3.7593_Setup use as describe back in the roll back thread and the rooting thread 4 the new yes I kno wat is in chinese but this is the 1 that you must use sent you cannot install the apk install software plugin your tablet look at the upper right corner you will see an gear icon tap that then second row down second icon over "root"

The chinese software worked! Thank you very much! As I first rooted with towelroot I wasn't aware that it was possible to root without booting into android! I think I won't edit the build.prop again lol.

Ok now use this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2532818 and uninstall romanager from pc...and reboot... And BTW modifying your build prop is alot easier useing build prop editing app. It takes care of permissions anyway as long as you entrys are correct..

Good call on RomMaster. I have no idea what it is doing since I haven't had any time to look at it, but I'd figured it was an app like TR. At any rate, nicely done. :good:

I'm not sure either that's why when I used it I was on a blacklisted unit and I kept the PC and the tablet and airplane mode at all times. Until I was certain I got all the files off of both before I let them go to Wi-Fi Chinese files that is.. But one thing I was very curious about is if you open that tool up the Chinese tool that is an you go to the same page you would hit the anchor to root to your device just below that it says fastboot I'm wondering if they have a fastboot working for also too bad nobody here know Chinese..
Dear users,
I read multiple threads throughout internet and couldn't find working solution. My lg with kitkat 4.4.2 had lagged so I removed battery. After this phone is boot-looping with startup animation forever.
I can explore files with adb shell when phone is in recovery mode but don't have access to dalvik-cache. Command "su rm -rf /system/data/dalvik-cache" gives "permission denied nor "adb backup -all" cause "unlock your device and confirm...".
I cannot root phone by copying SuperSu files into /system/app. The command "su cp.. " gives no answer and later when exploring /app there's no SuperSu program.
I was trying to explore through sudo nautilus on Ubuntu during using one of rooting tutorial but the phone just disappears in the list of mounted devices.
I have important data like phone contacts, messages and some pictures inside phone memory. I didn't backup all of them formerly.
Any ideas?

Could you elaborate on "disappears?" Usually if something is present and suddenly disappears in lubuntu, that means the connection was broken (either physically or by software, such as when switching drivers by running a command). Anyway, have you tried letting it sit for a day or something? I figure the reason it "lags" might potentially affect booting time.
It's also helpful to know what data you want out of it. Some things need root, some things don't need root. If all you want is file X in user space, I imagine that'd be infinitely easier than trying to get a random bootloader setting.
