Hi,
a pin of my USB connector is broken so I cannot get a USB data connection to a PC (but charging still works ...).
How can I root the official 318 build of froyo ? More specifically, in the new build, there doesn't seem to be any mounted filesystem on which one can copy RATC to run it.
Any hint welcome.
Have you already tried superoneclick, androot, or z4root? If so, then maybe try the below.
I don't know if this will work but you can try fard's instructions to root manually and use "Terminal Emulator" from Market instead of ADB SHELL, but i don't know what will happen when you run rageinthecage~ You will need to change the instruction a bit for your case.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=844966&highlight=rageagainstthecage
Instructions:
1. Copy all the needed files (from fards thread) into the SDCARD.
2. run Terminal Emulator
3. cd /sdcard/
4. busybox cp rageagainstthecage-arm5.bin /data/local/tmp/rageagainstthecage
5. busybox cp Superuser.apk /data/local/tmp/Superuser.apk
6. busybox cp su /data/local/tmp/su
7. busybox cp busybox /data/local/tmp/busybox
8. chmod 700 /data/local/tmp/rageagainstthecage
9. chmod 700 /data/local/tmp/busybox
10. cd /data/local/tmp
11. ./rageagainstthecage
12. Reset Terminal
13. Start Terminal Emulator again
14. mount -o remount,rw -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock6 /system
15. follow the rest of the instructions below "mount -o remount,rw -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock6 /system "
In case you can't find it in the thread, here is the original post by fards:
GET ECLAIR/FROYO version of Superuser.apk and su
from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=682828 extract the two files to the directory you're working from..
GET rageagainstthecage from
http://stealth.openwall.net/xSports/RageAgainstTheCage.tgz
extract the rageagainstthecage-arm5.bin to the same directory you're working from
open a terminal/command line
adb push rageagainstthecage-arm5.bin /data/local/tmp/rageagainstthecage
adb push Superuser.apk /data/local/tmp/Superuser.apk

******this will kill adb server but manually kill it anyway and restart it ******

Well...
yes, I have tried all that.
The main problem with the last option (i.e. CLI) is that the directory /data/local/tmp/ is not user writable (actually /data permissions are 751). So I was in search of a another directory (in an executable partition) where I can copy rageagainstthecage-arm5.bin.
Finally found it : "find" was my friend. /firstboot/sqlite/jackpal.androidterm/ is owned by my user (ID 10123)! It's the only one I found in all the filesystems!
Note that "find" is available through /system/bin/busybox_1P8P1. Btw /firstboot/sqlite/jackpal.androidterm/ seems to be linked to the terminal process.
Ran rageagainstthecage-arm5.bin various times to no avail ! It didn't give me root!

you need root before you can do any of those (i.e. su)
But i think i have root because I install Google market and other app. Or how i can check if i have root?

Yes, what he said...you're confusing having root on the command line for "I installed su and superuser to their correct locations"
adb shell
$ su
su

Something is wrong with your device then.
as a first step look if you have superuser.apk in \system\app\
Ho i dont have Superuser.apk in /system/app/

Doesn't really matter if su is not working. Superuser.apk is just a wrapper for su and he's trying to do things on the command line so su is what he's calling to, not SuperUser.apk.
He either didnt root correctly to begin with or he did something after that messed things up. Temp rooting with zergRush and redoing things is most likely what he needs to do.

I'm having the same issue, but when I go to change the mount permissions I get permission denied. Anyone care to give me some insight on how to fix it?
you have the $ prompt !!!
type su - the prompt has to change to #
then do the commands ...
I was using SwiFTP to upload files, but it seemed to freeze when downloading ...
The reason is that the /system/bin/ls command on S3 returns output which is different from previous Android versions ...
The solution is to replace /system/bin/ls (which points to toolbox) to point to busybox.
Code:
cd /system/bin
mv ls ls.orig
ln -s /system/xbin/busybox ls
Make sure you have busybox installed in /system/xbin and that your /system partition is mounted read/write.
If you don't know what this is doing, please don't attempt to do it
I just rooted my SG S4 Android 5.0.1 with auto-root. Everything worked fine (root complete and SU installed) till I think I gave a bad mount command in the root directory on the phone in terminal (i guess here it went wrong, not sure. Or perhaps during installation of bash or nano) when I was installing bash and nano. Since it rebooted, I **lost the wifi and cannot adb shell into my phone** anymore from mac.
Afterwards, I managed to flash clockwork mod recovery v6.0.4.6. and was able to mount /system, which enabled the ./adb shell again. However i can now only pwd and cd, everything else gets this error: /sbin/sh: ls: Permission denied
I think my phone is still recoverable, however I don't know what to do and don't want to risk making things worse. Which andoird wizard can help me please?
**Below here were my bash nano install commands:**
./adb shell
su
mount -o remount,rw /system
cp -r /storage/extSdCard/bashnano/terminfo /system/etc
cp /storage/extSdCard/bashnano/profile /etc
cp /storage/extSdCard/bashnano/bash /data
cp /storage/extSdCard/bashnano/nano /data
chmod 755 /data/bash
chmod 755 /data/nano
cd /system/bin/
mv sh sh.old
ln -s /data/bash sh
ln -s /data/bash bash
ln -s /data/nano nano
export TERMINFO=/etc/terminfo
export TERM=linux
mount -o remount,ro /system
**P.S. So I also performed a regular mount in root, which i think is what made things bad, but not totally sure!**
