I'm not Sam, but you can fix this by opening the .xml from the FXZ and search for anywhere it says "OEM" and delete the text beween the angle brackets <like this>
 
Hard to explain without showing you, but let us know if you need more help.

So delete text and what is left is <> is that right? Leave those symbols? Might seem silly but one character can f something up. Sam knows, lol.

The file share isn't connected.  This is a note to all running this....when you see /storage/rfs0/pwn: not found you were *NOT* successful and your samba share is NOT connected on the phone. You must fix that problem or it will never work.

I browsed network, workgroup, password, saw share files. Connected from files on phone also.

Thank you very much Sam, problem fixed and root is acquired. Sorry for the simple brain fart :

Dan, you are the man!!!!

Im having the same problem with the freezing after

 

ubuntu@ubuntu:/tmp/share$ sudo ./run.sh
[+] Waiting for device...
* daemon not running. starting it now on port 5037 *
* daemon started successfully *
 

running 12.10 as liveCD.

Not experienced with linux at all, just did what you told us to

As noted in the response after yours, that's what's causing the issue.  Trust me.  The script is not seeing the share.

This is also a note to all...whenever it gets stuck at daemon started, it means it's not seeing your phone on USB.  You'll have to troubleshoot why.  There are dozens of possible reasons.

Hi all.  Noob here again.  Sending this from Ubuntu.  I can get everything to work up to mounting my share.  I'm logged into my workplace network so I presume that the ip address I'm returning from ifconfig is somehow locking me out.  Is there any other way to connect my phone to the share, or can someone help me figure out a way to find the appropriate ip address?  If not, I'll just wait until I get home to finish it out.

it might not be working right due to it being a live cd,   i did it on zorin 64 lastnight testing for dan(he was waiting in live chat for me to test) and i`ve not had one problem. if you follow the instructions its simple.

when you run ifconfig you`ll have inet and bcast.  u want the i net one

If it's a domain there could very well be a firewall blocking access to the ports required or some funky network setup.  I'd wait and do it on a network you can control.

Very possible.  Although I've seen people say the Live CD worked for them.  I honestly don't know.  I do all my linux stuff in vmware WS 9 and haven't had any problem.  I just tell VMWare to disconnect it from the host and connect it to the VM...done.  That's how I developed the linux/mac version of the House of Bionic.

That's what I'm thinking.  At least I finally have Ubuntu up and running.  I had issues with both versions of 12.4 but 12.10 32bit was working well up to that point at least.

Wow, 7 pages of a thread to read while I've been away fixing computers.

 

Good news - I had an impromptu interview yesterday afternoon.

 

Bad news - I'm working my way through 2 different computers afflicted with the MBAM fiasco from last Monday (Boston day).

 

I've already got the plans on how to get this working with a much smaller Live CD, but it's going to take some time *and* testing - and I am my own first guinea pig.  So, please be patient.

 

Dan - thanks for your blessings, and thanks for taking the time and modifying the exploit to work on our phones - you rock!

 

Sam, thanks for being there for the community again, as you always are.

 

King Howie - thanks for donating in my name

 

Everyone else - thanks for being the awesome people that you are!

Yea I've seen more reports of success with 12.10 than 12.04.  I'm using 12.10 in my VM.  

[bejeweledman]

I have a problem... everything was running smooth, until the second reboot it was rebooted to the fastboot mode, and root was not acquired although the termnial showed "success". Is it necessary for me to wait for the JB fastboot file to flash it?

[johnlgalt]

12.10?  OK.  Let me go look then.

[ohoh]

Ok, first things first: Thank you, Dan. Works for my XT910! Donation on its way.

 

For those who got through the exploit without error and achieved a beotchy "partial" root like me:

Re-flash your device with RSD Lite using the fastboot files. I started with my "used" JB version and the exploit didn't work (completely) at first. Was close to biting my rear end at that point.

Starting with a fresh system helped me out. 

For those fellows who might have issues with their Linux-distribution: I used Knoppix 7.0.5 (German distribution) live DVD version, samba server is already integrated in that one, worked nicely!

It should not have rebooted to fastboot mode.  Something is wrong there.  Don't have enough info to determine what, however.

I'm using the 32-bit version 12.10. I tryed repeating the process but it wouldn't work. if its any help my phone never rebooted after pressing enter on the last comand

I had the same problem when connecting to a Fedora 12 samba server I had previously configured for other stuff.  I tried connecting to the share directly from the VM and found out that I was getting an error that I had insufficient privileges to see the files.  I futzed with it for awhile and then ended up just uninstalling/re-installing the samba packages to get rid of previous cruft.  That did the trick for me.

 

Never had the issue with adb.linux not being found.

My phone comes from HK and flashed into Australian ICS before JB OTA started. Is this a problem?
