First, I got your PM. Second, these posts belong in Q & A, not dev.
Now, "android" is an executable file that opens via Terminal. If it isn't opening, it may be corrupt and it may need to be downloaded again. I haven't encountered what you are describing and I haven't been able to replicate it on my machine. Try re-downloading and post back here and let me know.
Just use this copy of adb. Works fine, should be all you need.

...so you think all need is that version of abd, cause I figured out my problem, its because the web site that I download the original post's abd says its for Mac OSX with intel, my laptop is a bit older and does not have intel....u think ill be fine?
oh and one other question, the step that requires you do download the RUU files and mirrors, there are 3 links for the first and second file and 2 links for the third, do you have to download from all the links or are they just different sites to download the same file....oh and I apologize if I keep asking dumb questions but this is my first time every doing this
You just need one of each.

Didn't realize your mac that old. Unzip it, CD to its directory and type "./adb "...if it runs you're okay.

Hello.
This is my first post so first off I would like to say thank you to the members of XDA because I have been helped a great deal in the past by simply reading some of the posts on this forum.
That being said, I have a problem that I could not find the answer to after hours of searching.
I am trying to Debrand/Root my Rogers X10a using the Exploid method
forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=7490733#post7490733
After I enter my Device ID into the appropriate file, I ran RootX10a_v2.cmd as instructed. However, once I try to run step 1 i get the following message:
"unable to access jarfile X10flash.jar"
Ive tried connecting the phone in flash mode to different USB ports and using different Device IDs however nothing has worked.
Any ideas?
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
I have just the thing for you matey. I can't post a link sorry but google search for Universal Androot and download and install it on your phone.
It allows to you 1 click root or unroot your device without any fuss and should allow you to root it when 2.1 is released as it contains the superuser files for 1.5 / 1.6 and 2.0 - 2.2.
I am using it and it works brilliantly. Hope this helps

Welcome to xda! the answer is in the forum but i can't remember where.
Set up the path to the sdk tools in your environment variables.
Cheers
Gav
Thanks for the responses.
steve- are you sure that the universal androot works with the x10? another concern is that i also wanted to debrand my phone to get rid of rogers bloatware so how would I solve that issue if I can't access the x10flash.jar?
gavriel- sorry. could you explain in a little more detail what you said? i don't quite understand what you mean.
Thanks!
The one click root seems simple enough.
My problem now is with debranding.
Ive tried the method where you switch the files in SEUS (ive also tried PC Companion) just before it installs onto your phone and that has not worked. It says every time that the installation has failed.
Does anyone have any other ideas as to how I can debrand my phone?
Thanks!
For sure. I may be wrong but ill explain it as I understand it.
Basically when your PC is trying to use a jar file it looks in a particular area. I'm not sure where it looks though. Obviously your jar file isn't in that directory or you wouldn't get that error. So, by adding it as an environment variable it will look in the directory u added for that file.
The environment variables is found somewhere in the system settings. I can't remember where. Once you have found it you should find the path to the jar you are trying to access. Copy that path and paste it and the end of the environment variables. Don't erase anything that's in there. If need be seperate that path from the one before with a ; (semicolon). Save it and try running the jar again. It should work.
Good luck and hopefully it helps.

It means that Java can't find the X10flash.jar file. Do you have that file in the same directory as DeviceID.txt? Also, do you have the latest version of 32-bit Java installed?
To solve my debranding problems I had to use the 32 bit update 20, not 21 (which is the latest) and you need the jdk and the jre, hope that helps

Ultimate Noob Rooter
I have built this following the rooting techniques from the following places:

By using this method, you agree that you take full responsabily of any actions or concequences
that might happen to you or your phone. Once again, I will not be responsible for anything.
STEPS
Make sure your phone is connected to your PC, if it asks to install drivers just click yes..
1) Download: http://www.fileserve.com/file/M6guyMH
2) Extract the .zip folder named "RootMEnow.zip" anywhere on your computer
3) Open cmd.exe and drag it from the *bottom right corner* to make cmd full screen. (Must be full screen!).
4) on cmd type: root.bat
5) read and follow what it says
6) you're done
----------------------
Some people might get errors saying "missing .dll"
Simply copy the .dll files and place them in this 2 places in your computer
C:\windows\system
C:\window\system32

I'm a total noob and this way of rooting my slide was easy and worked GREAT!!!! Thank you Xologist you ROCK!!
Thanks-
One thing you may want to add: users have to cd to the directory that they extract the RootmeNOW.zip in, e.g., if you extracted it into the documents folder, you'd have to open cmd, and type
cd C:\users\usernamehere\documents\rootmenow
and then the commands. Some SUPERnoobs don't know to cd to be able to run a batch file.

xologist: I appreciate that you have been trying to consolidate information in the MT3GS forums lately and make things a bit more noob friendly, but this comment just blows my mind.
It is in no way like sending a text.txt document. Not sure how you can even make that leap .
Cmd.exe is a proprietary program written by MS and governed by the license under which you have acquired Windows. One of the chief points in that license is that you are not allowed to redistribute, in whole or in part, Windows. Cmd.exe is quite clearly a part of Windows and not allowed to be distributed.
On the other hand, if I were to create a file called Test.txt, I would presumably put some text in there. That is a file I would have created and is therefor mine to do with what I please, as I would be the creator of the work..
You really MUST remove cmd.exe from your download. Not trying to be difficult, just want the forums here to stay legal

There are two threads devoted to unrooting your phone. Please search.
The easiest away to make it "noob proof" would be to make a batch file (.bat) to cd to the directory and execute the commands for the user instead of including command prompt.

Doesn't work.
When cmd returns the # (pound sign), the .bat doesn't know what to keep doing.
Not only that, but if someone downloads it to their user folder, there MIGHT be a windows variable for the user directory similar to ~ in linux, but not sure. So you might not be able to do that. Even so, if someone downloaded it to the wrong location after only scanning directions, it would break the whole process and they'd come here whining "HERP FAIL DEV DIS BROKEN HERE HOW2ROOT DERPPPPPPPP".
It'd be all bad, is what I'm trying to say here, lol.

Guys, calm down.. everything has been fixed..
really didn't think it was possible to screw this up...
but i guess, where there's a will, there's a way.
tried going through instructions. kept getting a lot of errors from cmd, but the commands kept going.
booted back into white screen with writing, and nothing happened.
4. The device will show a progress bar (can take time), ABSOLUTELY DO NOT POWER DOWN WHILE IT'S STILL FLASHING!!!
that step does not happen, nor any of the ones after it. not correctly, anyway.
what am I missing here?
I recently recieved a Double Power M975 9" tablet as a gift. I have been unable to find any information regarding rooting this tablet.
I am not a total n00b, but rooting is not my forte. I can follow instructions and make logical connections well enough to do a root, but I am honestly at a loss for how to root this thing.
I don't know what all information is required for someone smarter than I to figure it out and relay the steps, but here's the basic info of the Tablet.
Double Power M975 (aka DOPO)
Android Version 4.04
Kernel 3.08+ (also says [email protected] #99, dunno if that's important)
Build Number A9 v01b
Internal Storage is 0.98Gb, with NAND Flash of 5.27Gb, and I have a 32Gb Micro SD card in it.
9" Screen
If anyone knows how to root this thing, or if you need more info, please let me know below.
Thanks in advance.

I'm actually surprised there isn't more info or already a guide for this specific tablet, as it's available at Walmart and online, it's cheap and is the best option in its price range for size and the fact that is has Google Play pre installed. It's not a powerhouse, to be sure, but it has been around long enough that I thought someone would know how to root it already. I just wish I knew enough about rooting Android to figure it out myself.

I'm still not having any luck finding any info on rooting this specific device, or even generic root for 4.04.

Was in the same boat as you, so did some poking around the past few days. Just managed to root my Double Power M-975.
First problem was getting ADB drivers installed for the tablet. I found baudi's pdf that did it for me (attached below). Followed that, until the actual rooting at the end. To root, I used SferaDev's Root Rk29 Toolkit (also attached).
Hope this works for you too!

For anyone who reads this, know that the linked .pdf is out of date. The majority of it is still valid, however the adb_usb.ini file does not exist. You will have to manually create it in the listed location (make sure to remove the .txt extension and make it an .ini) and the sdk manager file does not exist. You can access the sdk manager through eclipse.exe in the Eclipse folder.

You must have downloaded the ADT Bundle. I did too the first time.
On the Android SDK website if you click "Download for other platforms" then under "SDK tools only" select the zip file for windows you will get the package referred to in the pdf.
I also had to go into device manager and manually update the driver via the method described in the pdf.
The more you know...

Hey all.
I have a DOPO EM63 7" tab, and I'd like to share how I rooted it. I figure most of the DOPO devices will be the same.
1.) Install JDK, Android SDK (the zip file {choose download for other platforms}) and do everything else in steps 1-12 from the pdf in this thread.
2.) Go here (xda link) and do steps 2-11
3.) Laugh about how easy it was.
If anyone can't look at the pdf and other thread, I can post full steps.
It works. Out of every method I've tried, this one worked.
I have to add, some steps are outdated (ie. Step 7 from the link: just click "Root" on the pc screen)
And yes, the program is in Chinese - but it is easily understood (everything you need is in English)
Also, I don't know if the Moborobo program is necessary (seeing as we have drivers already) but it doesn't hurt to use it anyway.

I have tried uninstalling drivers and everything, still crashes. Fresh install is not an option seeing I have no way to backup my data.

Not sure the situation of your window 8 and no one can help you without proper details, but my friend, in my humble opinion your title "[Q] Lelus root method crashes windows 8" is sort of misleading and may be scaring people from using Lelus method. It sounds like you are telling people that "Lelus root method crashes windows 8, so dont use it."
Make it "[Q] Please help! Why Lelus root method is not working on my windows 8?" to be more precise.
Are sure your clicking the network test flash button? Do not click the start button right under the kdz browser folder thing. There should be a button on the lower right hand. Also run the prgram in compatibility as administrator.

My laptop crashes right after it tries to detect the L9 running in SW mode. So, I do not even get as far as the program it self.
I appreciate the input Virusbetax.

my win8 laptop has a few runtime errors during the flashing process itself, and I have to reboot afterwards, but never something as bad as this. you may be experiencing other problems not related to this phone.
may not be the BEST solution but you could always download tinyXP and virutalbox and try everything in a virtual machine..........
Yea there also virtual xp you can use. I believe is from windows website. Try with cousins or friends computer? Maybe theres will work.
Re: [Q] Lelus root method crashes windows 8
Have you tried other cables? Have you used the other usb ports on your system? Have you checked device manager on your laptop to see if there are other devices with errors? Have you gone to your manufactures Web site to see if there are new drivers or an updated bios?

Switching it from the usb 3.0 port to the 2.0 port worked. I successfully got the phone in s/w mode to run with the software update tool. After the tool finishes my phone reboots. Still no root..... I am following every step....
Its all Security and Compatibility issue. Yesterday, I have done some changes in my Root Guide.
======================
2) Download Root_and_Flash_Guide_byCMahendra(date).zip file (attached with this post) and extract in your C-Drive.
Now you will get three folders named "C:\RootLelus" and "C:\RootFlash" and "C:\shttps"
If these folders need any permissions you should provide in folder security section by adding user "everyone" or "<yourname>" and give full access. (example video) This is Optional and should be done if you have permission errors while flashing. Do it for all three folders.
==================
Also run EXE files with WindowsXP compatibility mode and Run As Administrator, if any trouble. In fact I never did this. Just a suggested workaround.
STILL NOTHING IS GUARANTEED AND MAY NOT WORK FOR YOU.
Do some trial and error and you tell us.:good:

Glad it helped.
I'm trying to root my phone using the Lelus method. As far as I know, I'm following the instructions to the letter. When I get to the actual flashing step, using the ICS T-mobile rom, I get the same "Scheduled Server Maintenance" error that Kevev reported in the guide thread on the development forum. Apparently, he was able to successfully flash, but I don't see any information there as to how he got around the error. I have tried repeatedly and always come up with the same result. Since I can't post yet in a development forum, I have to ask the question here. I must be doing something wrong, but I don't have a clue. I ask your indulgence, and would appreciate any help you can give me.

I have it nested several directories deep. Did you get it to work when you put it in C? I'll give it a try.

You get such hiccups if you dont follow the simple instruction first. Many people have habit to extract/save everything on desktop. C drive means C root location of C drive. And you must be logged in as "ADMINISTRATOR USER" on windows 7/8 to avoid access/permission issues.

I'm used to Linux rather than Windows and when possible I put things in a user's home directory rather than the root directory. Since all that the instructions said was C drive, I interpreted that to mean anywhere on the C drive, not the root directory. Now that I put the program in the root directory, everything worked perfectly.
Thanks for your guide!
I just rooted my p769. I had a few hiccups.
Line 5a says optional, but really it's a necessary step if you've never done it once. If you've edited your HOSTS file and are running shttp, then it's not gonna be able to download/update what it needs to. Close shttp and rem out the lines in HOSTS until it updates, the continue as normal.
shttp has to be extracted in C:\
Mine ran from desktop but the 127.0.0.0:9002 test for the girls picture was file not found, look at shttp dialog window and you see it couldn't find the file because it wasn't where it expected it..
Also did you forget to right click and edit UpTestEX_mod2_marwin.exe compatibility tab if you're running win7/8 like it says to?
Once I set it all up according to the image in the thread and clicked "Normal web upgrade test" it gave me an error box. Saying to setup Tool > B2C Client Setup.
After that it was easy sailing. Well other than the fact that some of the KDZ/bin files were either missing, deleted or dropbox blocked the account for excessive use..
