Anyone able to help me here? I'm using the root script and it's doing the exploit and pushing superuser to the system partition. I can run superuser and it seems to work OK but I'm unable to find busybox anywhere and the system seems to lock itself back to read only which I don't understand.

Noob mistake.. didn't escalate myself with su <facepalm>

I'll have to work out some better instructions and scripts and get them uploaded. One thing I have done is use the Stericson Busybox installer as it supports x86. This allowed me to install a new busybox to /system/xbin and unlink the /sbin/busybox and finally relink the new busybox. Don't know if it has any benefits right now.

[jikobutsu]

So you are rooted now flibblesan ? Had the thought then that orange had started pushing out devices patched for the exploit lol

Yep I have full root. Also found this app that lets us have full unsecure adbd too http://forum.xda-dev...d.php?t=1687590

Which means we can use 'adb remount' and push system files etc. No more messing around with root file managers

Nice find

Off topic here, but do you know if there is a way to get usb storage back?

Not that I know of.

[jikobutsu]

OK thanks.

Mtp is good but it seems to have drawbacks, well i find it does anyway, like some files do not get seen on sdcard, and I am finding the transfer speed to not be as fast, might be just me because I dont like mtp much lol, but I have usb3 so it is usually very quick.

try factory reset in phone settings and then run the root app again.

worth a try

[iamiguel]

I tried to root my device but it didnt work and now the device is slow and keep flickering?

Edit: I've done a factory reset and the phone is fine now.
How should i root the phone?

[jikobutsu]

run the program again

watch your screen on device a popup will appear saying restore data, select restore

dont close the command window on desktop, it must stay open until you have rebooted twice

the program will now reboot device twice

If it does not reboot twice rerun the program straightaway


give it time though as it can take a while for second reboot

[iamiguel]

It's worked now, thank you!

Is the anyway I could unroot it in the  future?

[jikobutsu]

Just flash update and it will unroot, assuning you want unroot incase you need to return to store, then flash orange update with the tool rickywyatt is soon releasing, then the device is stock orange and unrooted.
