Good idea - btw, watch what the text shows as it goes so you can tell us what you see if there is a problem.  Just saying it didn't work doesn't give us much to go on.

 

Yes, exactly.  THIS

ROFLMAO!  Make it your bitch!

$25 sent.  Already had root, but this is awesome.  Thanks Dan.

I KNOW it says no support for Windows users, and I'm not asking for any. I am, however brainstorming on ways to do it anyway. No support doesn't ALWAYS translate to impossible. Just a few days ago there was no root for JB and a few months ago there was no viable kexec kernel. Before that, were countless other impossibilities.

If I get something working, we're all enjoying breakfast at Milliway's on me.

I am downloading ubuntu now.   Wish me luck.   Will do it from live cd.    Thank you Dan,  I will be sending donation as well.    Sam, do you have a link for a donation as well?

Something for n00bs using a VM arrangement especially - watch the copy/paste function if you are copying the commands from a browser and bringing them into the VM.  It doesn't play as well as it could.   Buggered me the first few attempts.

First of all thanks so much Dan for making this root a reality for Bionic and I will be sending a donation when I get this working!! I'm running ubuntu v12.04 LTS from a USB stick and am having a little trouble.  There seems to be some kind of problem when trying to install the samba package and then later restarting the sever doesn't work.  This is what happens when I go through the terminal commands:

ubuntu@ubuntu:~$ sudo apt-get install samba

That, uh, looks fun.  LMAO

[MetalJR]

Yes, exactly.  THIS

I know. Missed it the first time and wasn't verbose on the tablet. I'm getting install failed already exists like with motochopper. Everything else finished without error.

[transmissiontech]

Wow 177 users reading this topic...

"That, uh, looks fun.  LMAO  :D"

 

no, no it doesn't. Liar. so much linux code has mac equivalent commands but i have to find them one at a time and their dependencies and learn context so i can actually issue commands. And I thought fxzing was tedious..

[SamuriHL]

Dan suggests, and I agree, that you want to remove any previous Superuser apps before using this.

Your samba package isn't complete.  I suggest trying to update prior to running the install samba

[MetalJR]

I thought I had removed them....found supersu still lurking. Probably the cause. Thanks and sorry for my lack of info before. My post was a sanity check more than anything

[SamuriHL]

No problem.  We want to see more success stories rolling in.  I know the basic premise works as I have root back.  But I want to see others running this and getting root back, as well.
