Root Rooted my 2.3.3 Commando - Thanks !!!

[jova33]

My phone wouldn't take the 2.3.3 update. I had to call Verizon and get them to mail me a new phone.

 

[dodgef25]

Did you have the insurance on it is that how you got a new one?

I don't that is why I ask?

 

[jova33]

No, I removed superuser, unrooted, did a factory reset. Called Verizon. They trouble shot me over the phone, and they asked me to do a factory data reset even though I already told the person I just did that (seems to be their answer for everything), the phone still wouldn't update, so Verizon sent me one two day FedEx. Its covered by the manufacturer warranty.

[louis cyfer]

update. worked like a charm. there is a step missing in the instructions. make sure the phone is in charge only mode.

 

[commando98632]

The first step is to install the C771 driver. It's available everywhere. Once that is installed and you plug in your phone and set the USB to mass storage the phone will show up as a removable drive and you can see the file structure.

Then I followed these directions that even include screenshots:

http://ubuntuone.com/64OujxgkGMv1N2QSoPmXin

I followed the screenshots exactly but some of the commands didn't work for me.
If that happens take a close look at the quotation marks contained in the screenshots and try adding/moving or removing them until the command works.

I also had an issue where the phone dropped it's connection to the laptop and made the "ding ding" sound as if I unplugged it while entering the commands.

That happened twice. After that I just unplugged it and plugged it back in and made sure I could see the file structure on the phone.

Then I started over at the beginning.

Eventually it worked but it took a little experimenting with the command lines and general fiddling around.

Good luck

-Chris

AHHH, yeah, the card auto mounts to the phone, in about 10 seconds, try going into the phones settings and then un-mount the card the card.
See if that helps.
It worked for me, I think what Verizon did was set a time limit on the mounting procedure to advert rooting programs.

Then set the phone to charge only., then proceed.

 

[commando98632]

Ah yes the magical charge only mode, that mode is the function called "Online modem" on my fiances vortex.

Funny how Verizon changed its name.."Charge Only" .

I do definitely like the Commando..I also bought a warranty as well..

 

[rjglenn]

What build? No one has been able to root c771M100. All it finds are hellions with blue flames.

 

[TRJ1]

Anyone had any luck with c711m100

 

[packm3]

I'm getting this same problem, I have the drivers installed, I'm in charge only, debugging on, unmounted sd card, but still not working, any help??

nevermind, wasn't reading everything, I got the damn m100 build. Someone please figure this out

 

[JonBsbB]

When using this oneclick does it give CWM Recovery? Im looking at getting a Casio Com. but wanna make sure there is root with recovery. Im a lil upset that there are no ROMs, especially MIUI. I run MIUI on my Droid Inc. and love it. so smooth and fast, great battery also

Nope, recovery needs to be installed separately

There is a recovery released but you must install it separately, the current update patched root so you'll have to wait to see if an exploit is found. There has been some talk of custom rooms and paxchristos is in the process of creating a custom kernel but he has bricked his device

Read the forums. The latest firmware is not rootable at this point...

 

[fwhawkins]

Is anyone working on rooting the C771M100?

 

[paxchristos]

Is anyone working on rooting the C771M100?

Yes, and no.


Security exploits are very hard to find, so undoubtedly, there's always someone working on a new exploit.

Will it apply to M100? We'll see when a new exploit is found. Until then, have patience, it's only been what, 3 weeks from when the update got applied?

My original droid phone was an HTC Aria. There was an update to 2.2, and no root was achieved for 3 months or so... have patience...

 

[jova33]

is it possible google found and patched every possible exploit?

 

[Spike G]

android is an OS... windows is an OS... Mac has an OS. If windows and mac which have been around for DECADES, with security updates regularly to patch back doors, can still catch virus' that attack at administrative levels, i think it'd be pretty hard to bulletproof an OS from exploits. I'm not trying to sound like a jackass, its just my perspective and hopeful outlook on the future of our device and android as a whole.

You are correct, sir. The actual problem isn't the OS, partially because it's built around Linux, so root is an integral part, and partially because of google's philosophy surrounding Android, it's meant to be an open (rootable) OS. Carriers and device manufacturers are the people who lock down devices in an attempt to prevent end users from damaging their phones (and costing money due to warranties)

I'd you want a guaranteed rootable phone, geeksphone is the way to go. HTC and Sony Mobile (formerly Sony Ericsson) are pretty good about opening up their devices. Motorola is dead last in terms of rootability.

Being that we are on the subject of rooting the phones, Paxchristos how is the project going on the ROM for the GzOne C771 Casio going. This next sentence has nothing to do with the subject at hand; however, it think it is funny and worth mentioning. I was doing the lundary and my phone was in my pants when I washed them, well guess what I probably go the most cleanest phone in California. By the way my phone is still working and running better, not because it is clean, but using the V6 SuperCharger and other things.

Been working on trying to get froyo -> gingerbread working (right now, no dice)

Have a kernel that I need to try and flash again, only problem is that when I do flash it, it just doesn't like it and doesn't boot... I have something that I need to try...

Pax

Edit: before I forget, I did manage to test out one theory I had, They haven't flashed the bootloader to include this (or I was doing it wrong https://www.codeaurora.org/gitweb/q...it;h=eb5595528b871de0e2ee52b54db0779ade05e260 ) so my guess is that they haven't gotten the security flags in place (it was made 3 days prior to the fastboot oem device-info)
