Root Problem with Admire

[engineer_d2]

I have a Samsung Admire sch-r720. My carrier is Metro-PCS. I rooted this phone, but something went wrong I think.

I installed the indulge drivers
I put the phone in USB Debugging Mode
I used the Admire Root Windows easy one-click root (run.bat)
But when I try to run apps requiring root, I get "you do not have root permissions".

When attempting to root, I get several "permission denied" and operation not permitted errors.

It appears that I do not have write permissions on the device.

Here is a snapshot of how my root attempts went.

error: unknown host service
"[*] Triggering core dump..."
[1] Segmentation fault app_process /dev...
cannot create /data/local.prop: permission denied
"[*] Rebooting phone. It may buzz a lot and loop on boot. Don't panic."

Error: Could not access the Package Manager. Is the system running?

Press any key to exit the script.


If I attempt to use adb.exe to access the phone, I can see the device, I can explore around it (Thus drivers are working fine) but I do not have SU permissions. When I try to SU, it is denied, and NO I don't get any "allow SU" pop up on my phone, it just instantly denies me.

As you can see, it sees the R720 Device

I can browse the device:

If I try to change any permissions, etc, I get denied with:

C:\Install\Admire Root>adb shell chmod 577 system
Unable to chmod system: Read-only file system

I can not SU on the device:

C:\Install\Admire Root>adb shell su
su: permission denied

I am not a complete Noob, but this is my first and only android device. I am comfortable with Linux command line stuff, and seem to have a pretty good grasp on the adb shell.

I seem to be stuck here though.

Any suggestions?

Its WAY easier to just put it in download mode and use Odin to flash cwmr, then install a pre rooted rom(I suggest ctmod)...all the good stuff for admire is over at android forums...get the cwmr image/Odin/ops files there...extract them from zip to desktop, run Odin as admin, for ops select schR720.ops, uncheck one package on left, then click on PDA button and put the cwm.tar file here(ignore image error message) then with USB all ready plugged in computer, take battery out of phone, after 10 seconds put back in, hold camera button down firmly while plugging in microusb into phone, after few seconds will pop up yellow warning...press volume up to continue, when phone says downloading click start in Odin and let it do its thing(make sure yellow com box shows up in top left square, if not ur phone isn't recognised reinstall drivers)...then it will reboot...turn off phone then hold volume down and power and home keys down at same time til u see Samsung pop up and let go...if done right cwmr will boot up...then get the zip for cwmr 6.0.3.0 and install by selecting install zip from SD card...then just find zip of from u want n install same way...you're now rooted

I should take a bath in tomato juice cuz I always smell like skunk
