[How-To] Rooting LS670ZVD/ZVH (100% automated) + ZVJ (automated)

[sfhub]

Re: [How-To] Rooting LS670ZVH (automated, no revert/wipe needed)

It worked! I am now rooted. A special thanks to SF Hub to help me with the process.

Glad you got it working. Care to provide some feedback?

Was it easy to use? Did you run into any difficulties? Anything that wasn't clear? etc. etc.

Hopefully it mostly worked out of the box with few issues.

Re: [How-To] Rooting LS670ZVH (automated, no revert/wipe needed)

go im trying to get this to work but my phone wont show the message "su".

its not locked im doing everything u told me.. idk wats happening. wat do i do

I'm guessing that you already successfully ran the rooting script and are just unsure what "su" is.

I added a more detailed explanation in the first post which will hopefully clear things up for you:

Note #1 - "su" is a program that allows you to request root privileges (while in "adb shell" or "terminal"). It stands for "switch user" or "superuser" depending on how far back in history you look. This was installed for you as part of the rooting process. Many instructions you'll see on forums ask you to run "su" to gain root privileges. The first time you run "su" (from "adb shell" or "terminal") you need to grant permissions on a prompt that comes up on the phone's screen. If you don't realize that, you'll get "permission denied" and think the root didn't work. Make sure your phone is not on the lock screen or you won't see the prompt. It is NOT a requirement that you run "su"

Re: [How-To] Rooting LS670ZVH (automated, no revert/wipe needed)

I had problems installing root, when I realized that i didn't copy the files to the c:/. I realize how important it is to follow directions exactly.

I see the superuser icon and I've begun installing programs. I got permission, so I suppose I'm ok. I haven't run anything from the shell or terminal (don't know how), so I haven't come across that.

I loaded adobe flash and it worked on the stock rom ( i followed the directions of the post), and I found that if i reboot, I lose the copied files that you are suppose to put (for those running stock rom). I'm hoping that a version will be developed that will work on stock.

Anyway, I'm pretty happy. I have pretty much everything I need (except flash). I tried downloading a move all files to sd program and it was blocked. Any ideas?

Thanks again for your help, and I look forward to being a part of the community.

Wow did I read that right it will install xionia too?

Yes, everything is automated (assuming you are already on ZVH)

Re: [How-To] Rooting LS670ZVH (automated, no revert/wipe needed)

This was a piece of cake. I had to run the install twice since the first time it thought the device wasn't connected. Should make my girlfriend much happier with a new ROM instead of that glitchy stock GB that Sprint put out OTA. It's been quite some time since I rooted my EVO 4G, so I can't compare the process, but for anybody that reads carefully, this is perfect.

Glad it worked for you. Thanks for the feedback.

I improved the script so it waits for your device to be connected before continuing with the install.

Re: [How-To] Rooting LS670ZVH (automated, no revert/wipe needed)

I've followed all of the instructions and run the scripts and gotten a success message and initiated the reboot. However, upon reboot there is no superuser app and trying to run SU from adb shell gets denied. Can you help?

My mistake. I missed a file when uploading an enhancement earlier. The zvhauto.zip in the first post has been updated and should work now.

I'm having trouble with this.... I'm getting:

[*] Sending 157 zerglings ...

[+] Rush did it ! It's a GG, man !

/data/local/tmp/sh: Can't open install-root.sh

It looks like I don't have install-root.sh. I can't find it anywhere in the zip archive either.

Fixed package is being uploaded now.

EDIT: Fixed package is in first post. Please re-download and it should work. Apologize for the inconvenience.

Re: [How-To] Rooting LS670ZVH (automated, no revert/wipe needed)

Do you have your SD card inserted?

Did you turn OFF USB Storage Mode? (drag down the notification bar and tap on "USB Connected")

Can you type

cd /sdcard/000root
/system/bin/ls -l

and post the output

cd: can't cd to /sdcard/000root
/data/local/tmp/sh: Can't open install-xionia.sh

This problem is because somehow you aren't able to access the /sdcard/000root directory. Probably something happened to the mount point.

It is supposed to say safe to remove. The exploit involves that section of code. It however isn't supposed to unmount your sdcard. Did you actually physically remove your sdcard? If not, I'll have to work with you to figure out what is going on in your case.

This is actually a complete different issue than your first post. This time, you can access /sdcard/000root.

However I uploaded an enhancement earlier and missed a file in the zip archive. If that file had been there, you'd be rooted right now. I already fixed the zip archive, but you probably downloaded before the updated zip got put up.

Please re-download zvhauto.zip and try again. Apologize for the inconvenience.

Re: [How-To] Rooting LS670ZVH (automated, no revert/wipe needed)

ok so i tried this twice it didn't work, is there some trick i am supposed to do ie put in like factory recovery?? all i did was turn on my phone enabled usb debugging, rebooted phone, connected usb cord and then ran the install-auto. both times it failed will try a third time, just wondering if i am dumb and not doing something right.

Could you say what is failing? Is the exploit script not working (ie you are seeing [-] Zerglings did not leave interesting stuff ) or is the installation of persistent root not working? If you see error messages, please post those.
