Rooting Manually and Boomsh

[Naebue]

I take no credit for this and give credit to p3droid and xmetalmetx of mydroidworld.

I would get stopped at the "Cannot copy boomsh: Permission denied" then found the post below, followed the instructions and gained root access, so I know it works.

How to get your phone back on the upgrade path...

Follow the instructions and you'll be fine

Download the follow file: it contains the exploit, su, Superuser

Download exploit ---> Exploit.zip

1) Unzip contents of folder to your Desktop

2) open a command terminal and navigate to the folder (cd Desktop/Exploit)

3) type the following commands (if you're not having the boomsh problem, if you are, see below)
---> adb push zerg /data/local
---> adb push su /data/local
---> adb push Superuser.apk /data/local
---> adb shell
---> cd /data/local
---> chmod 777 zerg
---> ./zerg


4) Wait for the root to be gained


5) type the following commands
---> adb shell (only type this if you are no longer in shell@targa)
---> mount -o rw,remount /dev/null /system
---> cat /data/local/su > /system/bin/su
---> cat /data/local/Superuser.apk > /system/app/Superuser.apk
---> chmod 4755 /system/bin/su
---> chmod 4755 /system/app/Superuser.apk
---> reboot

If there's an error that says you cannot copy boomsh: Permission denied:


On step 3, use these commands instead of the above:

---> adb push zerg /data/local
---> adb push su /data/local
---> adb push Superuser.apk /data/local
---> adb shell
---> rm /data/local/tmp/boomsh

---> rm /data/local/tmp/sh
---> cd /data/local
---> chmod 777 zerg
---> ./zerg


then continue the steps

Hope this helps everyone as much as it helped me! Thanks again to p3droid and xmetalmetx!

cannot create system/bin/su

Hey there, thanks for the tutorial. I am doing it, using step 3 with boonsh problem. After step 3, I get rooted, and when I go to step 5 "cat /data/local/su > /system/bin/su " , I get the message:" Cannot create /system/bin/su: read-only file system. What should I do?Thanks!

Thank you for your post. I something didn't go quite right and at 2:30 AM in the middle of my attempt at rooting, I ran into the boomsh error. Your instructions helped me to resolve the issue and succesfully complete the root process.
