I keep getting su copy failed when I try to copy to system bin.

try this. you can test that by cutting and pasting a /system/app apk to your sd card. remember to turn off your wifi and restart after pasting, then try it.

EDIT: Wow, can't believe i forgot to add the file. derp

try this. its not a PDF I just have to save it that way. you can test that by cutting and pasting a /system/app apk to your sd card. remember to restart after applying, then try it.

I had this problem to could not get su to copy added chmod 0777 /system/app
below the two lines added before still can't copy su. can cut system/app/apks.
my init.qcom.sdio.sh looks exactly like yours. Thanks

Just like the other user, I had it rooted under M80 I still have Superuser installed with no root.

I did all the steps in the instructions. But it would not let me move or copy over the SU file to system bin. But SU file was already there.

Root checker fails due to su.

I was able to move a system app over to the SD card.

But not able to move su over. Still no root.

read everything i could and still cant push su inti /system/bin. what program to use and how. pls hlp. been waiting on a exploit for months now and its finakly here. sooo close

are you using es file explorer to copy and paste? also, if you want to use adb, you have to execute it from command prompt. example:
(open command prompt)
cd C:\Directory_to_adb (or just place the files directly in the C:\ drive, in which case cd C:\)
adb devices (make sure it comes up with a device)
adb push su /system/app/ (optional, to test it)
adb push su /system/bin/
to be honest i dont know if that works. i just copied it to /system/bin using es file explorer. heck you can even try running the script itself by downloading script manager. maybe with that no restart needed.

oh i have another idea. everyone who says they can't copy su but can cut an apk, attach the init.qcom.sdio.sh that you are currently using. maybe we'll find something...different...
im trying as much as reasonable to help you guys out, you gotta help me to by doing this.
hey tommytopdrive if your still there, maybe you have another take on this?

I tried all variations of spaces

;;
esac
chmod 0777 /system
chmod 0777 /system/bin
chown root.root /system/bin/su
chmod 06755 /system/bin/su
exit 0

OR

;;
esac

chmod 0777 /system
chmod 0777 /system/bin

chown root.root /system/bin/su
chmod 06755 /system/bin/su

exit 0


As well as others. Restarted every time. Of coarse started with the first set then the 2nd and back to the first set only ect.

Here is my Su from directly my phone which I can not change or replace as well as the init.qcom.sdio file
