the supreme irony being of course that all these comments are made in a thread about an exploit that will NEVER work on windows and is easily handled by mac osx

/no more on this

 

 

Oh, stop it.....

 

 

The supreme irony here being that MacOS is just *nix you had to pay through the nose for on hardware that isn't worth the price you paid to begin with.

Thank you, thank you, thank you! I am a new member & complete noob, have never used Linux, but was able to follow the instructions & get root back. For the record, I used a 3yr old Ubuntu CD that I had lying around. Took me a long time, but that was my fault... stupid mistakes like Superuser still on device, not connecting as MTP. Reading all the posts & detailed answers got me through. You guys are my heroes!

Don't know if your question has been answered yet, but it looks like you forgot the part where you do "sudo smbpasswd -a guest".

I hope this helps some people. I used 12.10 in ws 9 and it worked perfectly so maybe give it a try if you're having issues. Just remember that in vmware you have to tell it to disconnect the bionic from the host so the vm can use it.

Thank you ydc.  I was able to get root yesterday but I appreciate the reply.

[hadeshorn9]

By the way, Hades, I appreciate your reply however it did not adequately fulfill the degree of my curiosity.

Launching locally is not always required. It being part of the exploit is only for this exploit, and I never said anything about Windows.

I was only trying to better understand the basis of all of this in hopes to be able to help someone else down the road. I apologize if my question offended you.

No offense taken, sorry I was short on the answer. Just trying to be helpful and you never know how far to go with an answer.

You asked again for more detail and that's great, more info the better. I have been known to be short and I apologize if it came off that way.

[hadeshorn9]

Not to burst your bubble entirely, but I did a successful root on my JB Bionic using a 12.04 32-bit LiveDVD of Ubuntu. It still managed to do package updates and install samba so the exploit could be performed. I didn't install Ubuntu whatsoever on my machine. I just booted the disc and clicked "Try Ubuntu" so the live version could run.

Excellent. Never used a live CD so was not sure. Got way to many miles on servers & desktops though.

But that's where you'd find the fastboot files for that model.

Thanks SamuriHL!   

But i am too stupid. I can't find any tutorial or files...

 

Sorry! I'm a noob  :

[SamuriHL]

Well you have to find the right fxz for your model. The page I listed has all the fxz files for that model world wide. I don't know which one is correct for your phone. You may have to ask in the xt910 forum for some help there. Once you have the right fxz I can help you flash the system img easy enough.

Ooohhh i wasn't signed in so i couldn't see the list! 
Thanks man!!!
So there are two files for central europe. Does it matter which one i use?
There both downloading..

 

Now..how do i flash the system.img ?

[SamuriHL]

Yea it matters. Flashing the wrong one is bad. Once you determine which one is correct you open it up and extract the system.img file. We'll need to get you a copy of fastboot.exe as well. Put your phone in ap fastboot mode and use the following command...

fastboot flash system system.img

Obviously it needs to be run from command line in the folder you extract the system.img file to. Does someone have a link to fastboot handy?

I am from Germany and my phone doesn't have any branding.

 

Which one is the right one?

[SamuriHL]

That's what I'm saying...I don't know which is right.  You'll want to ask in the XT910 forum here to figure out which is the right one.  I don't want to tell you the wrong thing and have you mess up your phone.  

[donfellone]

Okay. That's what i did now! Thanks!

[zetachi]

OK just wanted to post that last night I had a successful re-rooting. I used LiLi USB creator to set up ubuntu 12.10 on USB stick.  Besides running supper slow, probably due to the fact that I set it up with persistence, running on a 2.0 USB probably not the best idea. It literally took 2 hours from format of USB through booting into Ubuntu to running exploit. I also had a Firefox window open to cut and paste commands for terminal.

 

But in the end one run through and I'm back to root. Thanks to everyone that had a hand in this exploit and the step by step hand holding for us Linux noobs.

 

Now back to setting up SS and getting my ROMS back.  forgot that the fxz wiped internal so none of my ROMS are there going to see what I have backed up to SD-ext. crosses fingers.
