I have your ICS root ready, how about we call it TPSparkyRoot. I based my research on code written by Dan Rosenberg (similar to what jchase did with NachoRoot in the fact that chown/chmod follows symlinks even when set during startup), here is a link to that research http://vulnfactory.org/blog/2011/08/25/rooting-the-droid-3/
**UPDATE**
Android's source has been patched so that future OEMs can not leave this hole open by accident.
https://android-review.googlesource.com/#/c/36035/
**UPDATE**
This method has been shown to work on the HTC One X see forum
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1644167
Theoretically this should work on Honeycomb versions of the Prime as well, since the Honeycomb update is where I found the flaw that is being exploited. I have confirmed this works on my Prime.
**UPDATE**
This exploit does not currently work for the latest ICS update released (v9.4.2.11 on 1/18/2012). You can use OTA Rootkeeper to backup your root prior to updating using OTA, which I have confirmed to work on my device, (this may not work if you push the update manually).
https://market.android.com/details?id=org.projectvoodoo.otarootkeeper
For the devs out there, it does not to honor the ro.kernel.qemu=1 setting within the local.prop because it is already set to blank by that point by the build.prop
You must have your Prime set up to use adb and your adb location contained in your path variable (windows) or unzip the files from my zip into that directory before running.
**UPDATED**
If you are have issues getting adb working, make sure asus sync is not running, if it is then kill it.
adb shell mv /data/local/tmp /data/local/tmp.bak
adb shell ln -s /data /data/local/tmp
adb reboot
adb shell rm /data/local.prop > nul
adb shell "echo \"ro.kernel.qemu=1\" > /data/local.prop"
adb reboot
adb shell id
//IF ID IS 0/root THEN CONTINUE, ELSE START OVER>
adb remount
adb push su /system/xbin/su
adb shell chown 0.0 /system/xbin/su
adb shell chmod 06755 /system/xbin/su
//UNDO EVERYTHING EXCEPT su
adb shell rm /data/local.prop
adb shell rm /data/local/tmp
adb shell mv /data/local/tmp.bak /data/local/tmp
adb reboot
**UPDATE** As jchase stated "If your device "bootloops" don't stress, just follow through with the commands as it "loops" ro.kernel.qemu can do funky stuff." I did notice this in my rooting but just assumed it was normal as this is my first use of adb.
**UPDATE2**
If you get a permissions error on the call
adb shell "echo \"ro.kernel.qemu=1\" > /data/local.prop"
then you may try
adb shell rm /data/local.prop
And then try the echo command again. This may be due to having rooted prior without cleaning up properly. Thanks to Franky_402 for this piece of info.
I have updated the batch file to include this step, it should still be fine for those who are not having the issue as well.
I have attached a zip file containing the su and a bat file for a more automated process (just pauses when during reboots, don’t hit go until it’s done rebooting). Or, you can run the commands manually and get the su file from the origin http://downloads.androidsu.com/superuser/su-bin-3.0.3.2-efghi-signed.zip
Finally, install Superuser to make it all work https://market.android.com/details?id=com.noshufou.android.su
**UPDATE** UNROOT
There are multiple was to unroot now that you have root access already (all you need to do is remove the su file; so you could potential skip all the steps before the remount and just add the local.prop manually using a file manager and then reboot).
The one most similar way to how you rooted would be to follow all of the steps above, but replace these 3 lines
adb push su /system/xbin/su
adb shell chown 0.0 /system/xbin/su
adb shell chmod 06755 /system/xbin/su
with this line
adb shell rm /system/xbin/su
This will remove the actual root, but it would leave behind any apps that you have given root access to or any files that those apps changed themselves (i.e. RootKeeper backs up the su file and the backup would need to be removed). If you had anything like this you would need to clean up that first before unrooting because it is a dead giveaway that it was rooted.
Viperboy should be releasing his tool shortly that utilizes this method, if you would like a one click process that installs apps along with it (superuser, busybox). I’m guessing it installed them to the root apps directory so these also would need to be removed when unrooting as well (i.e. if you root using his new tool you should unroot using it as well).
**UPDATED** Remove PayPal link in favor of link over there <-
Yes, as it says, I went from the same base exploit that was shown by Dan and was the base for jchase as well.
The commands more than likely are but the exploit must be different or Jcases rot would still be working... Thanks OP!!!
EDIT: He didn't "ask" for donations just gave a link since he doesn't have the donate button <<over there

Yes, thanks, I did not realize that there was a donate button as I am still learning this forum.
This root is confirmed!
If your device "bootloops" don't stress, just follow through with the commands as it "loops" ro.kernel.qemu can do funky stuff.

Do not use the lagfix anymore voodoo will be incorporated into our new kernels very soon. Thanks
Kept the attachments so you can remove if needed!
I keep getting permission errors when I try this. I found another way to update busybox but the script doesn't work
With the current limited root I have, I could not write to /system/bin. I just woke up and I didn't feel like figuring that out, so I copied stuff to the sdcard, then I used cat to write the file to /system/bin as shown above (steps below). I would suggest before starting, download Quadrant Standard from the Market, run the full benchmark and see where your device is on the list. Mine was below the Galaxy S before starting.
This is what I did (on Mac) to get busybox in place:
Code:
./adb shell
su
mkdir /sdcard/lag_fix/
exit
exit
./adb push ~/Downloads/busybox /sdcard/lag_fix/
./adb shell
su
cat /sdcard/lag_fix/busybox > /system/bin/busybox
cd /system/bin/
chmod 755 busybox
ls -l (check the permissions)
exit
exit
Now busybox is in it's right place with the right permissions.
Now, I have to manually execute the steps in the lagfixme.bat file, because I'm not on a PC and I don't feel like re-writing the script, because I just woke up.
Before pushing the files, I edited lines 35 and 36 in the createlagfix.txt file to fit my sdcard folder path. I like to keep my SD card organized, so I put all the files from the zip into the /sdcard/lag_fix folder I created above. Here is what my line 35 and 36 look like before I push createlagfix.txt to the SD card:
busybox cp /sdcard/lag_fix/playlogos1 /system/bin/playlogos1
busybox cp /sdcard/lag_fix/userinit.sh /system/bin/userinit.sh
Now, I know the folder paths below looks ugly, but that's because I just pushed the files directly from my Downloads folder. Hopefully you guys can see what I did here. If not, let me know and I'll edit the post to read better. These are basically the lines in the batch file written out manually for Mac users:
Code:
./adb kill-server
./adb push ~/Downloads/RyanZAEXT2LagFix\ ALPHA\ 1/createlagfix.txt /sdcard/lag_fix/createlagfix.sh
./adb push ~/Downloads/RyanZAEXT2LagFix\ ALPHA\ 1/playlogos1 /sdcard/playlogos1
./adb push ~/Downloads/RyanZAEXT2LagFix\ ALPHA\ 1/userinit.sh /sdcard/userinit.sh
./adb shell su -c "/system/bin/sh /sdcard/lag_fix/createlagfix.sh"
Once the process is complete, run Quadrant Standard again and you'll see your device as the fastest one in the list.
Many thanks to Dirrk!!
Worked just fine for me.
Thanks for this and your root instructions!
Guys, is the phone actually laggy, or are you just assuming it's laggy because of complaints with the other models? I mean, you've only had them a day or two, right? Took me longer to notice lag than that on my i9000.
I'm tempted to grab a Fascinate, but all the issues I've had with the i9000 and it's a tough call.
I've seen it lag sometimes under high load, but I thought that was normal.
I've tested it with GroceryIQ, to compare against the last 30 seconds or so of this video ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=10ox35vMS78 ) and the Fascinate is nowhere near as bad at lagging. That video was 8/21/2010, so they may have updated their application by now, not sure.
Edit - Anyway, it works just fine. Nice work Dirrk! 2,191 !
Yep, worked like a charm! My Quadrant score jumped to 2125 after the fix. Phone is much snappier too. Thanks Dirrk!
i've been trying this but i keep getting permission denied.
can someone take me step by step on how to do this?
So, after running this, I am now getting a notification that internal storage is nearly full. Any ideas?

If you have root, you can now remove many of the bloatware apps that you do not use (this fix uses 1gb of your internal storage - performance is expensive)

I am waiting on rom manager so I can make a back up before I continue removing stuff
Here's a new method that was exploited for the Droid 3. I tried it and it works for the Photon as well.
Instructions:
Log in to the device using “adb shell” and type the following commands:
Code:
mv /data/local/12m /data/local/12m.bak
ln -s /data /data/local/12m
Next, physically reboot the device by pressing the power button. When it wakes up, log in using “adb shell” again, and type the following:
Code:
rm /data/local/12m
mv /data/local/12m.bak /data/local/12m
mv /data/local.prop /data/local.prop.bak
echo "ro.sys.atvc_allow_netmon_usb=0" > /data/local.prop
echo "ro.sys.atvc_allow_netmon_ih=0" >> /data/local.prop
echo "ro.sys.atvc_allow_res_core=0" >> /data/local.prop
echo "ro.sys.atvc_allow_res_panic=0" >> /data/local.prop
echo "ro.sys.atvc_allow_all_adb=1" >> /data/local.prop
echo "ro.sys.atvc_allow_all_core=0" >> /data/local.prop
echo "ro.sys.atvc_allow_efem=0" >> /data/local.prop
echo "ro.sys.atvc_allow_bp_log=0" >> /data/local.prop
echo "ro.sys.atvc_allow_ap_mot_log=0" >> /data/local.prop
echo "ro.sys.atvc_allow_gki_log=0" >> /data/local.prop
Reboot the device one final time, and on logging in with “adb shell”, you should be presented with a root prompt. Enjoy!
Now that we have shell root, we can complete the rooting by issuing the following commands:
Code:
adb remount
adb push busybox /system/xbin/busybox
adb push su /system/xbin/su
adb push Superuser.apk /system/app/Superuser.apk
adb shell chmod 4755 /system/xbin/su
adb shell chmod 755 /system/xbin/busybox
adb shell chown system.system /data

Hello,
I have found this bug on the TF101 and I do have TF201 as well but its not a production model so i cant really test this 100%
If someone can test my root method. below i will paste.
This is a new root method.
This is a linux / OSX version only for now.
When you untar the file. Please make sure to edit the runme.sh it has a path for adb that you need to fix. Other then that it will work.
You just chmod 755 runme.sh and run it

im pretty positive it won't work, seems they made a lil mistake on the rights on your system folder after the backup utility been used bro <- it does work

Want to know if it works on the TF201.
You need to run the backup util on an app installed (This util is found in the app draw)
then once the script runs. it will ask you to do the same backup again and it should reboot and you have root.

Hello guys, i have a question here, i bought this tablet from Focalprice:

This tablet have the same specs of the Ippo Y88, BUT Y88 have 1.5ghz and mine have 1.2ghz, they use the SAME dualcore A5 processor, IMAPX820.
Well, i search on google, and use the tool here on XDA to find some information, but its impossible to find anything about this processor, and those tablets... I know they are simple tablets, but someone know if i can ROOT this thing using CWM and put some light ROM, or Cymod?
Thnaks for help, this forum is the best, and i love the Galaxy S3 forum!
This proc is new, or have some other name?

How is your answer supposed to help anybody? People buy cheap tablets for a lot of reasons, I bought this to use it for a home automation system and it's perfectly fit for this purpose.
I'm also interested in rooting it, so any information ( ROMs , ideas on how to root it or how to make a ROM dump without root, etc) would be much appreciated.

My answer helps as yours. I only wanted to say that Aldighieri is not the only person looking for a way to root it.
Maybe nobody will develop a rooting method for this kind of tablets, but there could be an existing method that works ¿isnt it? hope so.
Thanks all of u!
Calm down boys, hehe!
So, none know a way? Is impossible to root this thing? =/

If you or somebody else can provide/find the original ROM I might be able to root it. I'm not an expert but I've managed to root an "unrootable" android tv box once. I've asked the guys at focalprice for the ROM but they didn't answer my email and I don't have too much hope given their awful customer service.
Oh thanks! Ill try to find it with someone on ebay, or google, if i find it i tell you! Thanks! )
Same problem for me. Excelent tablet, bu timpossible to root. When I try (with different methods: unlockroot,z4root, superoneclick, root bin4ay, rootx...) a massage say that is rooted, but when I try to install Superuser don't work for me. Please, help!
I asked for sellers on ebay to try to find the rom with the providers, but have no awnser yet, if u can, try it too! ^^
Me too on focal price. If i know something, I will post about it. Is very a rare case...
Thanks.

Nice! Thanks!
Still no answer from focalprice on my side and I think the best chance to find the ROM is via ebay sellers. I've tried a few methods of rooting the tablet without any luck and I came to the conclusion (with my limited knowledge) that the problem is related to the file system the ROM is packed, which doesn't allow changing file permissions. I can't go further without risking bricking my tablet, but if we find the original ROM I may be able to unpack /repack it, changing the permissions in the process. It may be a long shot but it's worth a try.
Thanks everybody for your efforts!
Fast response from focalprice: a word file with how to use this tablet: on, off, mute, how listen to the music...wow!
IF you find the rom ok, but you can't use it because the recovery is not present on this tablet. If you can do somethins, please, post it.
Thanks :good:

Hello friends!
I'm completly frustated. Google is burned with my researches. I have found this video and I think that is our tablet, but this combination don't work for me. Any idea?
Thank you for the info. I've tried the method in the video and it doesn't work on my tablet either, so probably we have a different model. Even if there is no recovery mode as the guys from focalprice say, I am sure that the ROM can be updated/reinstalled somehow, via usb maybe?
I'll keep trying to make a ROM dump from my tablet and I'll post here if I succeed.

Okay, I found a way to root it, but its on different device (Infotmic GF20). Firstly you have to enter recovery mode with adb (adb reboot recovery), then disconnect and reconnect usb cable, enter adb shell. If you have # as prompt, you can continue - it will work on your device too - if not, you have to obtain firmware from seller to root it. If you have #, type
Code:
ubiattach -m 1
busybox mount -tubifs /dev/ubi0_0 /system
Then exit adb shell, get su binaries and supersu app, and pull them to the device:
Code:
adb push su /system/xbin/
adb shell chown 0.0 /system/xbin/su
adb shell chmod 6755 /system/xbin/su
adb shell ln /system/xbin/su /system/bin/su
adb shell chown 0.0 /system/bin/su
adb shell chmod 6755 /system/bin/su
adb shell push supersu.apk /system/app/
Reboot device and it should work
OMG! Incredible!
My problem is the seller: they don't have the firmware, but I will try to understand all the process and I will try.
Thanks, thanks and thanks

Don't works for me. I can see the recovery (thanks), but when I unplug and plug the device, windows (xp) don't recognize the tablet. I use the Universal ADB drivers https://github.com/koush/UniversalAdbDriver, but I think that are the correct drivers. Any idea? Thanks! :good:
Here we have the solition, but I don't understand the recovery mode driver installation...
So I bricked my Kinde Fire HDX by changing the build.prop and not fixing permissions. I have adb access but no root (I don't know why :S). Would a factory reset work? If not, how can I get to fix the build.prop or replace it with the old one? thank very much, I've been a couple hours looking for solution but I couldn't find any.
No, a factory reset would only break it further. It would remove your adb access and not fix anything. What makes you think you lost root? Have you tried "adb shell" then "su"?

I used the HDX ToolKit v0.92 to check the root access, and it said "Please grant root on your device"
I've also tried "adb shell", and then "su", but it just returns "su" again. I am new with adb commands so I don't really know what it should show.
Thank you very much for your help
May I ask what version you were on before you bricked?

Nope, I couldn't find any way to get root acces again. But nevermind, my new kindle fire will be here in two days. I am surprised how well amazon costumer service works. Even though I bought my kindle in the US and now I am in Spain (not going back), they called me from the US for free, and they are paying all the shipping costs and sending it by priority shipping.
I am still interested if anyone knows how to fix it, just for fun
well

It sounds like to me that you still root access you just were not mounted RW in other words it would not boot up completely so you could hit allow to the adb Shell. So you will have to mount system rw manually Try last 3 pages of this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2588608. He can fix you most likely if you can comprehend and follow directions.. or if ur understanding adb is fair you'll be able to probably extract your repair from the thread as is.

I've tried what it is said in the other thread. However, the problem there is that the guy cannot get his device to be recognized.
I've tried this:
adb root
adb shell
su
mount -o rw,remount /system *****- if this fails, try: mount -o remount /system
chmod 644 /system/build.prop
chown root.root /system/build.prop
reboot
But adb root gives me this error:
adbd cannot run as root in production builds
On the other hand if I skip the "adb root" step I cannot go further than "su" since I don't get the "[email protected]:/ #" line.

Well since you do have ADB connectivity why can't you hook a bruting utility and push root ? Romaster_3.4.3.7593_Setup use as describe back in the roll back thread and the rooting thread 4 the new yes I kno wat is in chinese but this is the 1 that you must use sent you cannot install the apk install software plugin your tablet look at the upper right corner you will see an gear icon tap that then second row down second icon over "root"

FIXED!!!!!
The chinese software worked! Thank you very much! As I first rooted with towelroot I wasn't aware that it was possible to root without booting into android! I think I won't edit the build.prop again lol.

Ok now use this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2532818 and uninstall romanager from pc...and reboot... And BTW modifying your build prop is alot easier useing build prop editing app. It takes care of permissions anyway as long as you entrys are correct..

Good call on RomMaster. I have no idea what it is doing since I haven't had any time to look at it, but I'd figured it was an app like TR. At any rate, nicely done. :good:

I'm not sure either that's why when I used it I was on a blacklisted unit and I kept the PC and the tablet and airplane mode at all times. Until I was certain I got all the files off of both before I let them go to Wi-Fi Chinese files that is.. But one thing I was very curious about is if you open that tool up the Chinese tool that is an you go to the same page you would hit the anchor to root to your device just below that it says fastboot I'm wondering if they have a fastboot working for also too bad nobody here know Chinese..
