Hello,

As expected the 101 XS is quite easy to root. Please note that this method of exploitation has been around for some time.

Go to some ADB shell:

---*---
rm /data/misc/smb/fusesmb.conf
ln -s /data/local.prop /data/misc/smb/fusesmb.conf
---*---

Then reboot the device.

ADB shell again:

---*---
echo "ro.kernel.qemu=1" > /data/local.prop
---*---

After another reboot ADB shell will drop You right into a #root shell.

Don t forget to clean up (rm /data/local.prop; rm /data/misc/smb/fusesmb.conf) afterwards !


nice day,


meimei
