Root [Virgin Mobile] help :(

[TronXiix]

Accident was on old slim rom, and update to MG2, it deleted my custom recover and root.. any way to fix this?

 

[MopedRyder]

Refresh CWM and reroot. The backup you made is usually located in /sdcard/clockworkmod. If the backup is still there you should be able to recover it after custom CWM.

 

[TronXiix]

Can you give me short tutorial please haven't difficult doing it

 

[TronXiix]

i dont have pc but mac though

 

[MopedRyder]

The Recovery / Root thread seems to have Mac instructions (Mottochopper). You may want to give that a look.

Also check your sdcard. Do you have a clockworkmod folder?

[TronXiix]

i'm always getting no root access :/ from superuser i have /system/xbin/su
but i dont have -rwwxr xr-x and root shell

 

[MopedRyder]

Looking at the mottochoper script it looks like it does this (in order)

"[*] Pushing exploit..."
copies a file called pwn to /data/local/tmp/ then changes the file permissions

"[*] Pushing root tools..."
copies the su and busybox binaries to /data/local/tmp/. Then tried to install the SuperUser.apk

"[*] Rooting phone..."
this is when is executes the copies program pwm

echo "[*] Cleaning up..."
removes the files in /data/local/tmp/

-------------------------------------------
Looks like when yours tried to install SuperUser.apk it failed because its already there. Are you sure you are not rooted? Also looks like the pwm binary fails.

When you turn on the phone into Recovery mode is it Stock or CWM or TWRP?

 

[TronXiix]

yeah like i said i backed up custom rom from stockish and slim before it was mg2 update and that what it happen i had superuser and it always giving me denied and i have to figure out for recovery mode always giving me denied. i wanted to go back to stock and wait for cmw 10.2 i have rooted check and it said im not rooted. it was always giving me permission denied it went back to stock recovery mode.

 

[TronXiix]

im a noob typing this in lol
$adb kill-server

echo "[*] Waiting for device..."
$adb wait-for-device

echo "[*] Device found."

echo "[*] Pushing exploit..."
$adb push pwn /data/local/tmp/
$adb shell chmod 755 /data/local/tmp/pwn

echo "[*] Pushing root tools..."
$adb push su /data/local/tmp/
$adb push busybox /data/local/tmp/
$adb install Superuser.apk

echo "[*] Rooting phone..."
$adb shell /data/local/tmp/pwn

echo "[*] Cleaning up..."
$adb shell rm /data/local/tmp/pwn
$adb shell rm /data/local/tmp/su
$adb shell rm /data/local/tmp/busybox

echo "[*] Exploit complete. Press enter to reboot and exit."
read -n 1
$adb reboot
$adb kill-server

okay lol which one do i type in because i tried few

 

[MopedRyder]

How did you backup?

What type of recovery do you have installed?

So you have a superuser app but it doesn't work?

I think I'm confused in what you did and what is wrong.

 

[maaneeack]

Normally you would just run the script, and it would run all those commands itself.

He did. See post #7. Looks to have an error.

I don't know if he's done it, but I'd try deleting that (data/local/tmp/Superuser.apk) and running the script again.

 

[TronXiix]

I cant gwt root access and go on custom recovery. I'm going on my vmware on my mac and see I can root and custom recovery on pc. Much easier

 

[TronXiix]

Okay I tryed odin and install perfect, but cant get pass vertification with root.zip on stock recovery :/ any file with zip cant get pass by vertification :/

 

[MopedRyder]

Odin is to install the recovery. Once that is done you need to boot the phone into recovery and flash the root zip file.

Just making sure you are not trying to flash the root zip file within Odin.

 

[TronXiix]

I know that I was doing. I can't get root access after odin :/ my phone works but can't flash on stock rom because no verification
