Root Root after M100 update?

[paxchristos]

Nothing happens past the *** Daemon started successfully *** message. I mean nothing for about 10 minutes, which I assume if it were going to work that would be pleanty of time. Don't not try it on account of me, my setup might be screwy.

The documentation does indicate that it is intended for ICS, but that probably doesn't matter any.

The search continues...

If it got stuck at daemon started, then it didn't actually start...

Also, the hole isn't ics specific, it all depends on how lazy the programmers are

Does that mean try again or it wont work?

Did you have usb debugging on? (it should be on when you try to run this, fyi)

I haven't personally tried it yet. Should be able to in a few hours though. Will post results soon.

For anyone wondering if the Commando C771M100 can be flashed to another carrier without root I reply with a big absolutley YES. I was able to flash over to Metropcs. You just need someone from Metropcs to add the ESN to their database. I went down to my local Metropcs store and for a small fee it will be added. They will even flash it for you at the Metropcs location if you are so inclined to have them do it. You can purchase a no contact plan for $40.00 a month for unlimited voice and text. Once that is complete all you need is CDMA Workshop and QPST to turn on full Data access. I have a real good 3G connection were I live. The only thing I can't figure out is MMS looks like I need root to complete that. My Webaccess and GPS work fine through the Metropcs 3G network.

I have USB debugging turned on as well as install apps from unknown sources. I let it run for a while but nothing happened. I'm trying it again as I am typing this and intend to let it sit for a while.

dont mean to sound dumb but how do i run this? i am used to using superoneclick.
thanks

 

[tsp_2177]

nevermind figured it out, mine did get past the daemon start but then the phone reset and no super user on my phone so i guess it didnt work.

(sorry, gonna go basic here, I know you know it, but it's for everybody)
1) are drivers installed correctly?
2) have you tried unplugging & replugging your
phone in?
3) did you type in abd kill-server prior to running this?

You should just be able to double click it & run it. In about an hour or so I can test it.

Yes. I can send other adb commands and they work.

2) have you tried unplugging & replugging your
phone in?

Yes. Rebooted phone and computer, no difference.

3) did you type in abd kill-server prior to running this?

Yes, as above. I let it sit for at least a half an hour. I think this is a busted lead.

would this work better if i was running ubuntu? i have a netbook i would be willing to dual boot like i have before if it would work better with ubuntu?

 

[paxchristos]

Lemme give a go around with it, I just got home & I'll steal woofers phone & see if I can figure it out.

 

[paxchristos]

I'm gonna try it on my linux box in 20 minutes, then i'll let people know.

Awe man.... I got all excited and stuff lol

Man, the suspense is killing me! This is one of the few times I wish I had an office job... whatever happens, thanks for giving it a go...

 

[paxchristos]

Tried it on linux, looks like they blocked it, sorry for getting everybody's hopes up

 

[rjglenn]

Well at least it was something, and it could have worked. Maybe something will.show up.

The only skills I have in this department is cheerleading.

Do a good job boys... Go team.... We'll get this device rooted!

I'm still sittin over here in the cheerleading department with Jova.

Go Team... We can do it! Whoo Hooo!!!

Hey, at least it was a try... on another note, what really goes into finding these exploits? I'm by no means a dev type, but I have plenty of Linux and bash scripting experience and a very little with C. I more or less learned by trial and error over the last 25 years. I'd be curious to figure the ins and outs of android... is there a way to run it as a vm so I can bash around without truly wrecking anything? I've already borked enough os's and cooked enough hardware without adding my phone to the list... Any advice is appreciated...

I'm fairly depressed with my phone with M100 and I check this forum everyday with the hopes someone has figured out a way to set it free. I need the rugged phone for where I work and I will be checking this with bated breath everyday until some genius figures this mess out.

anyone still looking into this? I would have never done m100 update if i had known.

Considering Pax just posted a new idea two days ago. Yes I would think that he is still looking into it. It takes time to do these things.

 

[elderlypunk]

Yep. Hope still exists!

Well, Verizon just announced the M110 update, so it might be worth updating to that and then trying for root if you're already stuck with M100.

(Still sitting at M080 and not budging till either someone find a root for the new updates or an ICS update shows up.)

 

[rjglenn]

Force updated to M110 (who knows, it "might" be better). No luck with SOC or the method mentioned in post#72.

I will start a thread on the main page (if no one else does) after a couple of days to report how it is. I can tell you this already, it added some kind of emergency alert app - more stuff I'll probably never use.

I knew this day would come, when this phone would be unrootable.

 

[tsp_2177]

Don't know what I want to do lol I know as soon as I update to the new update they will find a way to root lol
