Someone else ran into this problem on XDA, see the post above. You might have to download the adb component from sdk manager, or try an older sdk package.

 

[chefkeyser]

I got the platform tools folder, still saying command not found. and the adb IS in there

 

[chefkeyser]

Ok, now, going great until...

[chefkeyser]

But Astro is showing that Unrevoked did make it to the sdcard, so, hmm...
Terminal is not recognizing it

yeah, for some reason Terminal is not recognizing the commands. Try re-starting the computer and begin where you last left off at the "adb shell" part. Bookmark any internet windows you have open for easy access.

When you did adb devices did your phones serial number appear?

 

[chefkeyser]

Yes my phone serial number appeared.
Here is after restart:

Delete the files from the sd card and push them again. It looks like adb is working.

 

[chefkeyser]

I did, then:


john-keysers-macbooklatform-tools johnkeyser$ adb devices
-bash: adb: command not found

big oops on my part. I forgot you were on the ".2" update from Sprint and didn't realize until now that it's the newest from Sprint.

The thread I linked you to may not work, which explains the error when running the sh command. Sorry about that.

Look here: [ROOT] Easy Root, works with any Stock ROM (Including 2.31.651.7!) - xda-developers

The thread is for the ".7" update (prior update than the ".2") and people are reporting it as working for ".2".

 

[srkmagnus]

The process is basically the same. Start by downloading the .zip file and unzipping the contents into the sdk/tools folder.

cd (into your tools directory)

then start at "adb push..."

 

[chefkeyser]

I'm not getting the # sign, so something isn't working.

 

[srkmagnus]

When you did this part:
Now execute the exploit:

Code:
adb shell
/data/local/tmp/rageagainstthecage-arm5.bin

What happened?

 

[chefkeyser]

A long read out about easy android root and donations, then said process complete.

 

[chefkeyser]

Basically I can't get past mount. "not permitted"

 

[chefkeyser]

This:


john-keysers-macbook:~ johnkeyser$ cd /users/johnkeyser/android-sdk-mac_86/toolsjohn-keysers-macbook:tools johnkeyser$ ./adb shell /data/local/tmp/rageagainstthecage-arm5.bin

john-keysers-macbook:tools johnkeyser$ exit
logout

[Process completed]

 

[chefkeyser]

After I execute the exploit and restart terminal:


Last login: Mon Dec 20 13:46:33 on ttys000
john-keysers-macbook:~ johnkeyser$ cd /users/johnkeyser/android-sdk-mac_86/tools
john-keysers-macbook:tools johnkeyser$ ./adb kill-server
john-keysers-macbook:tools johnkeyser$ ./adb start-server
john-keysers-macbook:tools johnkeyser$ ./adb shell
* daemon not running. starting it now on port 5037 *
* daemon started successfully *
$

The dollar sign where the pound sign should be. Maybe the command for mount is different on a Mac?

 

[srkmagnus]

The mount command is the same. Try and run the exploit again then kill-server, restart-server.

 

[chefkeyser]

Same.

 

[srkmagnus]

After you run the exploit and type "exit", close the terminal window and re-open it. Then type adb shell and see what happens.

I saw your post on XDA, hopefully more people chime in. I would edit your post to mention that you have run the exploit a few times and it appears to have been a success and still no #.
