Root Can't Root on ZV9

domsdabomb · Feb 11, 2014

Hi, I've tried the two ICS root tools, both error out due to permission issues from what I can tell. Phone is on ZV9. See Below....

EDIT: Well was able to get rooted, and rom manager says I have two recoveries installed, TWRP and CWM, however When I boot to recovery it reboots to android guy, then boots back into OS. Any ideas why I cant get too proper recovery?

I believe this has been addressed multiple times in the threads for the tool. You have to run the tool twice. The first time, tell it that you aren't rooted and it will root for you. The second time tell it that you are rooted, and it will unlock the boot loader and flash CWM.

Is this what you did, and are still experiencing issues?

yes, I've tried every different combination I get alot of permission denied etc when trying recovery. I used a root checker to verify I have root access and superuser is installed. I was able to downgrade to ZV8 thinking this might help the process. So I re-ran the all in 1 tool and still got alot of permission errors, Let me post what I'm getting

I verified via Joeykrims root checker that I did have root access.

Ok we can close out this thread, I tried the pwangetool which I didn't try before because I thought it said it was gingerbread only but I gave it a try and it worked, I can now get into CWM, I guess my bootloader wasn't unlocked. Thanks
