[TOOLS] R3L3AS3DRoot and 43V3R root for the BIONIC v2.1

[ripper2860]

Awesome tool!!!

Is there a 5.5.893 System.img file to use with R3L3AS3DRoot and 43V3R root for the BIONIC v2.1? Would be nice to revert back to a 5.5.893 system if needed in case of a ROM issue or to prep for a future OTA.

No the original 886 is all we ever snagged so far

running stock Bionic. Tried rooting with Pete's tool. Everything worked okay. Tried several apps that required/used root access to verify. Still fine. Updated mount_ext with 3 lines to keep root. Restarted phone and landed in an endless boot loop.

Now I tried this utility to restore Bionic. How long should it set at this prompt?

Wow chedder72 - you saved me! Your referral to the "5.5.893 root lost" thread and downloading the "root exploit" link from tp76 did the trick in only 10 minutes! Didn't even have to revert back to stock 5.5.883. Wish I would have reached out sooner (could have saved an entire day and wife would not have felt so ignored as my focus has been on fixing this issue)!

I'm all great now and I hope this advise will also help the next poor soul. Thanks Again!

I would like to try this as well. Can you tell me if this file is pushed through adb?

Any plans to snag the .893 ?

Yeah. I don't really like relying on a Nandroid backup. Rather have a nice "squeaky-clean" system.img to go back to.

How does one "snag" a system.img? I opened the 5.5.893 zip file and there was no system.img file in there, that I could find.

If you are asking about 1-click_exploit.zip it isn't pushed through adb. It's a zip file you download into your windows 7 pc. You the unzip it into a directory on your pc. Then you initiate the batch file in that directory. Plug your bionic into your pc via usb set your phone to us debugging to on and set your phone to allow unknown sources and just wait.

After I double click R3l3asdroot.bat all I get is a popup window thatsays "about, abd, abdwin, ect ect." am I supposed to click on something in this window? The instructions don't mention what mode my phone should be in. The instructions say there should be a prompt that comes up after double clicking R3l3asdroot.bat but nothing is popping up. Should I copy that contents of the window to my mot folder? Stuck!

Nevermind, going back to stock. This did NOT work on my phone! It's amazing how all these phones are different. What works on one doesn't work on another.

this will not root my phone! i've tried three different methods and they all install superuser but fail to actually root my phone. grrrr

 

[donzz]

there is no R3L3AS3DRoot.bat...only R3L3AS3DRoot or R3L3AS3DRootMine. i've been trying to root all morning and i'm getting nowhere here.

I think so. Mine was the same way as yours and if you follow the video all the way through, you will end up rooted. It worked excellent!
