[ROOT]Windows/Linux file to root all Firmwares(Should work on all versions)

fiddy619 · Mar 8, 2013

Here is a quick batch file that will root your phone. This has been tested on the latest Telus Firmware, and the latest Sprint Firmware, so I assume that it will work on them all... This really only copies some files to your phone, and changes some permissions to the files it copies, so it is essentially harmless if it fails, the only thing that would happen is you wouldn't get root.

Quick disclaimer tho, I'm not responsible if you phone somehow freaks out, and can not be used anymore, but the likeliness of this happening is about as likely as you winning the lottery, so if it does, you might want to buy a lottery ticket.

Directions

1. Unzip the zip file
2. Make sure USB Debugging is on, and you are in Charge only Mode
3. Run the CurrentRoot.bat, wait for the prompt. (Can now be run as admin if you wish, Still works running as regular user tho. Thanks robisodd)
4. Change to MTP Mode
5. Just ignore when your computer asks how to view files on your device.
6. Press enter in the CMD prompt to continue.
7. Done.

New Linux Shell Scrip added for linux users... Thanks Shelnutt2...

Yes, it has worked on everything we've tried it on, even the newest firmware's. BTW, i think you meant the e975...

Confirming this works on latest At&t version (E970) on android 4.0.4 software version E97011c. Tried others but this was only one that I could get to work thank you!

Can confirm this works with European E975 V10B.

I rooted sprint zv9 optimus g using this method a few weeks ago. How do i install the official sprint jelly bean update without unrooting the phone? I still havent being prompted to install the update but I would like to do it manually and keep root. Thanks in advance to anyone who can help me.

'Root-Universal-linux.zip' fails when I try to extract it. I can only get the 'Root.sh' out, the rest of the file is broken. Redownload did not help.!
Will you maybe try to repack it, possibly in 7z?

skdubg · Mar 15, 2013

all fine here.
zip is not corrupt

rxxt · Mar 15, 2013

On all the program on Linux I have try, I get 'Unsupported compression method'. I just go to someone having a windows pc and the programs there also get this message. But if I use windows own unzip it works! So now I can move on...
But I never try this before, how have you create this zip file?

I have updated OP, i've used 7zip now to make .zip archive. Hopefully it will work now, if not i will make a .7z file.

Super, the new zip file works!!

But I had to root my E975 10b with the windows version (which worked fine), because I get this problem on Linux (and I not had the patience to find a solution):

Code:

Press Enter after making the change.

uid=2000(shell) gid=2000(shell) groups=1003(graphics),1004(input),1007(log),1009(mount),1011(adb),1015(sdcard_rw),3001(net_bt_admin),3002(net_bt),3003(inet),3006(net_bw_stats)


If uid=0(root), gid=0(root) is displayed

Press Enter to Continue

The Linux script gives following error :

Code:

./Root.sh: line 2: $'echo\r': command not found
./Root.sh: line 3: syntax error near unexpected token `$'{\r''
'/Root.sh: line 3: `function pause(){

After fixing the small syntax error in the file I get following problem :

Code:

uid=2000(shell) gid=2000(shell) groups=1003(graphics),1004(input),1007(log),1009(mount),1011(adb),1015(sdcard_rw),3001(net_bt_admin),3002(net_bt),3003(inet),3006(net_bw_stats)

If uid=0(root), gid=0(root) is displayed

I will look into this, it looks like its not getting root shell, so, i'm guessing the initial exploit isn't working, I will fix and repost.

**EDIT**

I have updated the shell script, so if someone could please test that is using Linux, i would appreciate it.

Yes, it's because it need to be converted to UNIX format, I did it by run this:

Code:

dos2unix Root.sh

EDIT:
I just try the new script, first I have to do Root.sh executable, then I again need to convert it to UNIX by 'dos2unix'.
And now there is a new problem in line 23:

Code:

Device found

Beginning Root Process
Root.sh: line 23: /sdcard/G_security: No such file or directory

Now change from Charge Only to MTP
No need to disconnect USB
Press Enter after making the change.


uid=2000(shell) gid=2000(shell) groups=1003(graphics),1004(input),1007(log),1009(mount),1011(adb),1015(sdcard_rw),3001(net_bt_admin),3002(net_bt),3003(inet),3006(net_bw_stats)

If uid=0(root), gid=0(root) is displayed

But my device is already rooted, don't know if that affect anything..?

It wont affect anything, however, It does still need to be fixed... Thanks for testing, i will fix it...

**EDIT**

OK, fixed again hopefully... this time hopefully it works. If someone could test again, i would appreciate it. Thanks

The problem in line 23, is solved now. But the rest is still the same!
