[ROOT] 1.85 - New, working method - ACT NOW, MAY NOT LAST FOREVER!

Silly HTC. THIS EXPLOIT MAY NOT LAST FOREVER. ATT COULD KILL THIS. DO IT NOW.
Warning: If something goes wrong, whatever you do, do NOT install the update that this process finds. If you DO, you will be stuck on 2.20 with no chance for root (currently)
What you need:
HOX on ATT 1.85
su binary from http://dl.dropbox.com/u/don'tusemeimabadsubinary
EDIT: The su binary above has issues. Use this one instead: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/9060692/su
Make sure HTC sync is NOT RUNNING (down in system tray)
Make sure phone is set to "charge only" and usb debugging is enabled!
Put su in same directory as ADB. Get to adb command prompt and cd into that directory
NEW - pull sim card
NEW - do factory reset
NEW - when reset is complete, do not replace sim, do NOT connect to wifi. Go through setup, go to settings, enable USB debugging. When that's done:
adb shell rm /data/data/com.redbend.vdmc/lib/libvd*
adb reboot
After the device reboots:
adb shell ln -s /data/local.prop /data/data/com.redbend.vdmc/lib/libvdmscomo.so
(If you get file doesn't exist after the FIRST command don't worry - they may not be there)
Now, on the phone, go to settings and check for software update. It will tell you you need to connect to network. Now, replace the SIM OR connect to wifi. Have it check for software update again. When it's done, do NOT click "yes" or "ok" on the phone. Simply:
adb shell ls -l /data/local.prop
IF AND ONLY IF you get "file not exists" or anything like that then set your phone's date 2 days ahead and reboot the phone and start over. If you get file info, you're golden. Proceed....
adb shell "echo 'ro.kernel.qemu=1' > /data/local.prop"
Now it's time to reboot
adb reboot
After phones reboots
adb remount
adb push su /system/xbin/su
adb shell chown 0.0 /system/xbin/su
adb shell chmod 06755 /system/xbin/su
adb shell rm /data/local.prop
adb reboot
Congrats, you have root. Install supersu and busybox installer from the market (or Play store).

You have just made a lot of people. SCC/FGFD

where do we get the su binary. I have a supersu zip to gain root after unlock

Great job guys!!!

Do terminal apps need root to run? Can I do this with terminal and avoid ADB?

I got "no updates found" and permission denied...

Anyway to put the setting up of ADB in lamens terms for some of us that aren't familiar? I am ok with the commands, I just don't know how to get ADB to command prompt and where to place the files.

I traded my Samsung galaxy s3 for this and the element tablet and I don't regret it

I moved up from a Samsung Infuse and yes, compared to the other devices I tried out - Galaxy III and HTC OneX - I am quite impressed with the Flex. The hardware is excellent; we just need root and perhaps a custom kernel and rom to play with.

no unfourtunatly ive recived no reply from the guys over at the burst forums there is however a guy over at the forums at android forums who says hell take a crack at it

OK GUYS SO I got this from a pm with DAVEPMR all credit is due to him I was not able to get past the adb shell command as my 64 bit windows 8 did not recognize my device and there are no drivers for our device for PC but if anyone here wants to try we have an untested GUIDE
Not sure we can help much, rooting kind of requires a phone to test on.
you will need su and Superuser http://www.4shared.com/file/77Hm6isK/su_online.html Superuser.apk is at http://www.4shared.com/android/o6FouNYk/Superuser.html
but you might try
adb shell

exit
adb reboot
adb shell
echo 'ro.kernel.qemu=1' > /data/local.prop

ive tried z4 not super one click heres the issue with super 1 click it was designed to root gingerbread just like z4 root none of those one clicks have been tested on a device with ICS on it thats the issue when it comes to that ! and yes patiently waiting heres an edit ive tried adb shell on the flex on a windows 7 32 bit! and still no luck i cannot get the dang thing to recognize our devices i tried downloading and installing pantechs only drivers for the burst and still no luck! im at a loss when it comes to this how can we get our device to be recognzied by adb shell?

Maybe we need to start bugging Pantech for drivers... I don't think the drivers for the Burst would work anyways. The Flex uses a Qualcomm MSM8960 and the Burst uses the Snapdragon S3 APQ8060. I know they're both Arm7 processors but my guess is that the rest of the hardware in the phones is different too.

[Solved] New 4.2.1 update + root partially lost with Superuser App

Hello
I have upgraded my TF300T with the last ASUS update (4.2.1).
After the upgrade, I have a partially rooted device.
All the apps already declared in the whitelist of Superuser are still gaining the root permission (root explorer...). But any new installed applications cannot access root
After a few hours of research with google I found that supersuser app is not compatible with Android 4.2 but I didn't any clue to repair that.
[UPDATE] Solution in post 4
Thx

Re: [Q] New 4.2.1 update + root partially lost with Superuser App
Do not uninstall anything that has root! I had the same problem when updating from ICS earlier in year. Will post update when I find my notes.

Check out this thread - you can see where I thanked the poster near the end. I downloaded the binary as instructed. I use ES File Explorer. I checked the permissions of the installed su. I then copied the new binary replacing the old one. I checked permissions again. I don't remember if I had to change them or not but they were the same when I was done. I then believe I updated the binary from the market. Lastly with fingers crossed I rebooted. For me root was completely restored and I was good to go.

Thanks for your reply but it does not work for me.

Solution
After several tries, I found a way to solve my problem.
As it could be useful for some other people, here are the steps to repair your root
All credit goes to Koush for the fix
Requirements : adb / su binary
Follow this link and dowload su binary on your computer
Extract the contents to a folder
Start a cmd window
Run adb shell
In adb shell type
Code:
/system/bin/su
Check you are root (id or # prompt)
Remount system as RW
Code:
mount -o remount,rw /dev/block/mmcblk0p1 /system
Open a new CMD window and push the su binary from step 1 to the internal storage
Code:
adb push <your path>\su /sdcard/
From the adb session where you got root, type
Code:
mv /system/bin/su /system/bin/su.back
cat /sdcard/su > /system/bin/su
chmod 6755 /system/bin/su
Done (maybe reboot)
If it does not work for you, you can restore your old binary if you prefer...

I saw that program but it seemed a little spyware laden. So I decided to try and find another way, and after about 6 hours of messing around succeeded. Glad someone else benefited from it as well.

Oh it is a POS program with ALLOT of spyware. But since i was using on my virtual PC I didn't really care
But yea thanks again !
PS. What have you really done to yours since you rooted it ? I've been slowly removing the bloat-ware.

I want to compile clockwork recovery but that is a lot more work and i risk perma-bricking my phone, but I have been using titanium backup and root explorer. Be careful of what programs you remove, the phone may have root but it still has a locked bootloader that freaks if you remove the wrong app.

So what apps have you removed safely. I've gone and removed the normal ones (Facebook, exchange, etc).

[Root] RockMyMoto (Yes, even the first OTA)

This will void your warranty, like all root exploits. Use this at your own risk. Do not take OTAs on rooted devices unless you know what you are doing, as it may cause a bootloop or a soft brick.
RockMyMoto is designed for MotoXs that have recieved the Camera update, patching PwnMyMoto. If you are unsure of your firmware, try PwnMyMoto first.
First step is to install Cydia Impactor, by Saurik. http://www.cydiaimpactor.com/ This is required. You will also need adb installed and working, and be comfortable with the command line. Your phone must be on the same network as your PC.
Figure out the ip address of your phone:
adb shell getprop dhcp.wlan0.ipaddress
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
unzip RockMyMoto-{version}.zip and push the exploit and su to /sdcard/:
adb push su /sdcard/
adb push RockMyMoto.jar /sdcard/
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Run Impactor and select "# start telnetd as system on port 2222", then hit start.
Once the process is complete, run telnet:
telnet {your phone's ipaddress} 2222
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Run the exploit through telnet
dalvikvm -cp /sdcard/RockMyMoto.jar RockMyMoto
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
The exploit will tell you to use adb to reboot:
adb reboot
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Run the exploit through telnet for the second time, it will reboot on it's own:
dalvikvm -cp /sdcard/RockMyMoto.jar RockMyMoto
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Run the exploit through telnet for the third time, it will not reboot:
dalvikvm -cp /sdcard/RockMyMoto.jar RockMyMoto
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Wait 0-60 seconds, for su to install, then install SuperSu from the market.
Enjoy!
Known issues:
If you have AP isolation mode enabled in your AP (aka WiFi router) you won't be able to connect to your phone via telnet, disable isolation.

one thing though
adb push RockMyMoto-1.0.zip /sdcard/

should have been
adb push RockMyMoto.jar /sdcard/
which should have been extracted with su from the zip.

Okay. I have never rooted like this before. Adb = command prompt? Do I need the SDK? Or just the rockmymoto and the other program?

Also if anyone is not by a PC you can just type getprop and whatever command to get the info you need using terminal emulator. Just don't type adb shell before getprop. And just typing getprop in terminal emulator will list your whole build.prop or you can just type getprop ro.secure & hit enter & that will tell you whether your s-off or not by listing a 0 or a 1. That was just a example if you just want to find out just 1 line like jcase first command to get your ipaddress. You would just type getprop dhcp.wlan0.ipaddress & hit enter & terminal emulator will list your sensitive data if your not by a PC

When I try the telnet action, I get an error that the 'link failed File exists'. If I try to proceed to the next step, same error. My router is an Asus router and I made sure Isolation was unchecked, and there was a setting for telnet (never used this before) and I tried both on and off for that one.
Anybody have a clue how I can get through this?
