Cannot get root (dingo)

taywyn · 09-19-2011, 11:11 PM

I got my PE today and I've been trying to gain root. First I tried the ADB method from androidpolice.

http://www.androidpolice.com/2010/08...-instructions/

But that didn't work. I got adb to work, but it isn't root:

Code:

$ ./adb shell
$ busybox uname -a
Linux localhost 2.6.29 #1 PREEMPT Wed Sep 29 13:04:47 EDT 2010 armv5tejl GNU/Linux
$ busybox whoami
whoami: unknown uid 2000

Next I tried installing z4root, which "successfully installed permanent root", but when I try to run su, I get this lovely error:

Code:

$ su
link_image[1638]:  3749 could not load needed library 'libbinder.so' for 'su' (load_library[984]: Library 'libbinder.so' not found)CANNOT LINK EXECUTABLE

I tried to adb push Superuser.apk to the PE, but it said it was already installed (by z4root). How the heck do I root this thing?

What is your obsession with rooting the PE? There are only a very few things that require a rooted device and they won't work with 1.6 you have to update to ermine - 2.2 - for them to be useful, even z4root doesn't work on 1.6.

I want to push arm5 copies of ldd and lsof and then futz with the framebuffers using native binaries, which I don't have sufficient permission to do without root. I guess I'll just load the ermine update.zip on it and retry z4root. Thanks.

Wasn't there an older version of Z4 that worked with Dingo?

From my memory it was flaky at the best.
