Root Any luck?

[Dj_Android]

Any luck on getting that recovery.img for me? I'm still waiting patiently lol.

Give me instructions on how to do it and I will provide you with the image tonight.

You can use ADB to pull it off your phone, Or you can use root explorer to copy it to your sd card (root not required)

 

[kcurtis106]

I'll use adb first. Give me specific instructions and I'll take care of it right away.

cant find it with root explorer?

 

[kcurtis106]

I don't have root explorer, however, I'll download it right now if it'll simplify the process.

 

[Dj_Android]

For ADB I'm not a pro at that, so I'm not exact on the code your supposed to type. But for root explorer just search: "Recovery" or ".img"

 

[kcurtis106]

Found 2 results:

/etc/firmware/ZTE_U880F_SUCCESS_PR1183396-s2202_32333042.img

and

/system/bin/recovery

Which one would you like?

To be on the safe side, I'll take both. Thank you

/system/bin/recovery ) recovery

 

[kcurtis106]

Sorry for the delay; turns out I had to use adb, regardless. I have the files located at Index of /zte for download. Good luck and please, keep us posted.

Best regards,

Kevin

/system/bin/recovery ) recovery

Thank you all, But their not Workin. When I looked at the file extensions, They are not .img

 

[kcurtis106]

Yeah, I noticed that the only *.img file on the device is: /etc/firmware/ZTE_U880F_SUCCESS_PR1183396-s2202_32333042.img which you can download here: http://w8mim.com/zte/ZTE_U880F_SUCCESS_PR1183396-s2202_32333042.img

If anyone knows how to create a stock recovery image (without root privileges) I would be more than happy to provide you with the proper image.

Lemme get Shabby over here, he'll probably know which block to pull via ADB.....

 

[Dj_Android]

I think droid explorer (pc) Has the ability to do it.

Do you know how to pull it?

 

[kcurtis106]

Do you know how to pull it?

Not a clue. I tried "adb pull /dev/block/mmcblk0p16" and it wouldn't work.

C:\0>adb pull /dev/block/mmcblk0p16
remote object '/dev/block/mmcblk0p16' not a file or directory

I know it's a device, however, how can I create an image file from this?

 

[kcurtis106]

1|shell@android:/ $ cat /dev/block/mmcblk0p16 > /sdcard/recovery.img
/dev/block/mmcblk0p16: Permission denied

 

[twogbsd]

Try adb pull /dev/block/mmcblk0p16 /zte/recovery.img

It should out put to /where/you/have adb/zte/recovery.img

Or try adb pull /dev/block/mmcblk0p16 >> /zte/recovery.img

 

[twogbsd]

Also, could you do adb devices and tell me what comes up?

 

[kcurtis106]

Try adb pull /dev/block/mmcblk0p16 /zte/recovery.img

It should out put to /where/you/have adb/zte/recovery.img

Or try adb pull /dev/block/mmcblk0p16 >> /zte/recovery.img

C:\0>adb pull /dev/block/mmcblk0p16 /zte/recovery.img
remote object '/dev/block/mmcblk0p16' not a file or directory

It appears that we're back to square one again. Without root permissions, I am unable to pull the recovery image and ironically, I cannot root this device without flashing a custom recovery; that's my dilemma.

Seems like the only ideal way to root this device is applying an update zip file in a custom recovery, however, I cannot install a custom recovery because I don't have root permissions.

 

[kcurtis106]

Also, could you do adb devices and tell me what comes up?

C:\0>adb devices
List of devices attached
N9120_METROPCS_USA device

 

[kcurtis106]

I'll attempt this in qpst tonight.

 

[kcurtis106]

No luck. Any other suggestions?
