After all the trouble it worked!!

 

My final issue was that i had to reboot my phone. After daemon started it just sat there and did nothing. I killed it and disconnected my phone. I rebooted the phone and made sure it was in media mode for the usb connection and then if went right through.

 

Thank you again to all that helped and especially Dan for finding the exploit.

Erisdroid,
Congrats and thanks for sharing what worked for you.

I have never rooted a phone.  Unbutu is up and running.  But, don't I have to unlock the bootloader before I can root my Bionic.

No sir. You cannot unlock the Bionic Bootloader

Dang - ninja'd !
No. Root is a separate thing. The Bionic cannot have its bootloader unlocked.

That should really be in the OP and the instructions from the get go. People with a dirty system partition are getting an awful lot of problems from leftover Superuser apps and su binaries

can this be done through RSD lite yet? I tried to reinstall JB from my SD card and it did not remove the existing superuser.

It's always been something you can do with RSD Lite

"it's the feel good exploit of the year! I laughed, I cried, women fell swooning about my feet"

 

Once Dan starts in, it's like we're all enthralled because we know that takes  Kernel snooping which is a very good analog for Jack Kerouac's Life snooping.

 

there are plenty good knowledgeable code geeks, Dan has the unteachable part.  The intuition, He's an artist, no less.

Finally got it. Huge thanks to the support in the forum. THANKS!

Anyone else having hard time getting vm to connect?

[zetachi]

Quick question. Anyone know why SuperUser asks to update binaries evey time I re-boot my phone?

[droidgeeek]

This was super easy and fast. Thanks! I prefer LINUX over windows anyways.

[droidgeeek]

I will mention that I have Droid Bionic and I found that I had to uninstall the Superuser app that I already had then run the script. Then all was good.

Items needed to use the Bootable USB file:
1) A PC that can boot off of a USB drive.
2) 2GB or larger USB flash drive.
3) 2.2 GB free space on your Windows PC HDD
4) Linux image with the hack (Found here:

Please Login or Register to see this Hidden Content

)
5) Alex's USB Image Tool  V1.61 (Found here:

Please Login or Register to see this Hidden Content

)

Steps to run to gain root access.
1) Unzip Alex's Image tool to your hard drive.  (Keep all the files together.  Note Where you unzip the files to.)
2) Unzip the Linux image.  (Note where you unzip the file to.)
3) Insert your USB drive into your PC.  Note we will overwrite the entire USB.  Backup your files first if needed.)
4) Run Alex's Image tool. "USB Image Tool.exe"
5) Select your USB drive in the screen to the left.
6) Choose restore in the menu at the bottom.
7) Select the linux image you downloaded. "Linux-JB.img"
8) Confirm the overwrite of the drive.  (Wait for the process to finish and tell your the image is complete.)
9) Reboot your PC and boot off of the USB drive.
      (This is where we follow the original instructions.)
10) Once in Ubuntu open a terminal window and get your IP with the "ifconfig" command.
      At this point, you'll need to know the IP address of your Linux host, which you can get by running "ifconfig" from your terminal (it should be of the form "192.168.x.x").
11) cd /tmp/share
12) On your Android device. Ensure you have enabled USB Debugging Mode (under Settings -> Development Settings). Ensure your device is connected via Wifi.
13) Open the "Files" app, and select "Remote storage". Click "Add storage", and fill in fields as follows:

Host IP address:         [your Linux machine's IP address]
Domain name:            WORKGROUP
Shared folder name:  share
User:                          guest
Password:                  droidrzr
setup the share on your phone.

14) On the linux machine, in the terminal window, execute this command. "./run.sh"


Helpfull hints:  
Phone needs to be in "Media device (MTP)" mode NOT "Mass Storage."  If you don't change this you will just get stuck at the following:
* daemon not running. starting it now on port 5037 *
* daemon started successfully *

 

If you are running the following command: "sudo apt-get install samba" and get an error.  run "sudo apt-get upgrade"  Then run "sudo apt-get install samba"  This should fix the issue.

The USB image file is HUGE about 1GB.

 

I will be on as much as I can to help support.

 

Good Luck,

Rap

I can't get step 14 to work.. missing /run.sh

[bossboss]

so I had to repeat sudo ./run.sh a few times. Not ideal, but it worked!

 

command not found..  I am running latest Ubuntu 32bits...

 

 

 

Thanks again for this! It was my first experience using Ubuntu and I have to say after trying the live USB, I'm probably going to set up dual boot. It was fun to play with and a great learning experience.

I had the samba restart error, but was able to fight thru it. The bionic I rooted also has reboot tantrums, so I had to repeat sudo ./run.sh a few times. Not ideal, but it worked!

Now I'm not worried about updating my daily bionic and my fiancé's bionic.

Bossboss,
Are you in /tmp/share before doing the ./run?

Okay hello all! I used this program on 13.04 Ubututu and it went all the way through the process with no problems gave me Superuser; however, I still do not have root! Ideas?

Delete Superuser and try root again.
Sometimes SU causes that issue.
