Both need to be on the same wifi network. If you already use your phone with your home router, this should be exceedingly simple to accomplish. Just turn on the wifi

Ok thanks for the response.... Will do that now

[wolfdog1987]

I am sorry i have nothing to offer right now as far as donations go, but thank you very much for working on this and allowing me to root my phone.

[BenAround]

I really appreciated this root method.  Lost root with the OTA (had rootkeeper installed but I apparently don't know how to use rootkeeper or it didn't function properly).  I had also installed what was supposed to be permaroot with the changes to mount_ext3.sh but the OTA seemed to anticipate that and threw a checksum error with those changes installed.  So, after taking the OTA, I went without root for several months becauseI didn't find this thread until May.  Too busy at work to spend the time until June.  Used the Ubuntu system from a USB drive.  It worked great.  I had to run it twice the first time (or thought I did but maybe just needed to do a reboot after the exploit finished).  Then last week I lost my phone in the boondocks in the Olympic National Park.  Rooted the replacement as soon as it came.  Then bricked it trying to install CM 10.  Flashed back to stock using RSDLite and rooted again.  Still nervous about whether or not OTA Rootkeeper really works now that the OTAs appear to be aggressively trying to stamp out root capability.  So, I wonder if there is a rock solid way to keep root through an OTA.  Of course, there may not be another one for this phone, so it may be a moot question.

 

Anyway, I thank Dan for his work and hope that my donation will count toward next time since it seems to be getting harder to find these root exploits.

Ran this twice on a old Bionic I had with 4.1.2

 

Still no root access.

Should I try this again after a factory reset?

[Int_Rnd_Pooka]

Well ... if you don't try again, you're not ever going to get root by osmosis. Yes, do a factory reset (after backing up anything you feel is important) and give it another shot. You're not getting off the wall errors, so maybe something that exists on your phone is keeping the exploit from doing its thing. Start clean. ALWAYS start clean

[ssicag]

I tried three more times. still no root.

[livinginkaos]

Are you waiting for the vibrate?

[ssicag]

Yep. I follow instructions to the T.

[ssicag]

Ok. It worked. Only took me about 12 tries. I guess persistency is key.

I repeated the process the same way over and over and over. nothing different.

[B.E.McAllister]

I usually let the vibrate process run for about ten minutes while randomly pressing buttons

Ten minutes? A bit excessive

Lol, probably, but I know that's where I usually make my mistake so I take my break.

I am conected directle to the router using an ethernet cable phone: droid Bionic, android build: 4.1.2, system build:98.72.22.XT875.verizon.e

[Bratster2]

Do you have your phone on the same WiFi network as the host with the share?

[frayday]

Hello,

 

I have tried this method quite a few times with no luck at all. I have followed every single step multiple times but nothing, the damn phone keeps saying that root access is not enabled!

after executing

 

$adb shell /storage/rfs0/pwn 1

 

the phone restarts right away... which i find a bit strange given the instructions? (it also restarts again a bit later)

 

The supseruser app is actually installed, however, when i start it , i get a message saying: The Superuser binary (su) must be updated... blah blah ... when i click on Install it tells me there is an error installing Superuser.

 

I tried updating the Superuser app in Play Store, but I keep getting the same error...

 

any ideas??

 

Thank you!!

[livinginkaos]

Try flashing just the system.img and try again.
