[Tutorial] Root and Market Hack - Page 5

MoridinEU · 06-08-2012, 07:31

Updated directly from 2.33 (or something like that...) to 4.33.

Rooted immediately after using SuperOneClick v2.3.3

Installed Google_Play_market__3.4.6.zip as per instructions.

Everything worked flawlessly! All your work is much appreciated!!

Hi there
thanks for the tutorial. I have 1 question, what is everyone using to edit the .inf file? if I try notepad, the formatting is all over the place and if i use word, it loses formatting. am I missing something?

thanks
Graeme

I agree with Ghisy that this very best perhaps the chop is usually the ability to main these devices and therefore the possibility connected with a few CENTRAL PROCESSING UNIT undervolting ROMs or perhaps a thing related (I'm not even close becoming an professional... ).

Hey,

I was able to get it work using the tutorial but only using the file from MorindinEU. I entered the three files as stated in the guide using the command adb remount and adb push.... again don't forget to have background data active when you log in google play.

One question regarding the guide. I see the command to push the application to the device sends it in the system memory. Is there a way to uninstall any application inside the system memory??

Thanks in advance!

root worked but i never got it to list anything with adb devices first, so just try superoneclick even if that isn't showing up.

greencoffeeman · 08-22-2012, 02:01

i forgot the SuperOneClick ..

- sorry .. was reading too fast..

hei,

thanks for the effort to figure out how to root the z2.

at the moment iam stuck at the adb remount.
it sais:

C:\>adb devices
List of devices attached
COWON Z2 device

C:\>adb remount
remount failed: Operation not permitted

C:\>

i would appreciate any help.

Managed to root Z2 on OS X Lion(without parallels, bootcamp or wine), should work in Snow Leopard and Mountain Lion also. If anyone is interested, I can post the procedure later.

Can you please share how?

I just got my new Z2, but I can not manage to get it work with ADB. I have tried on several computer. Win7, Win8, OSX, no one can see my Z2

. I currently have the last firmware .45
Thanks in advance.

Mmmm, did you followed the instructions in the first post? For ADB to see the Z2 you have to add "0x0e21" to adb_usb.ini and go to Applications > Developement and make sure USB Debugging is turned on. The instructions for OSX are the following:
Folllow this guide to set up ADB: http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?p=9842005

Once you have ADB set up and running, you can root by downloading this script:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...8#post18995198
For this to work you need to become familiar with the terminal app located in utilities.
You need to edit the script in textedit, just copy/paste the paths for the required binaries, if you don't do it the script will NOT work. Once done, drag and drop the script to the terminal, connect your Z2 and run it.
For the binaries just download Doomlord's v4 package http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1321582

P.S:
To make ADB_USB.ini appear:
First of all, verify if it is there, for that you need an app like Xmander to browse through hidden folders. Explore the root of your hard drive and there should be a folder called ".android". Access it and you should see the file in question.
If not, drag and drop the "android" binary into terminal but dont hit enter just yet. Add the following commands "update adb". It should look like this "PATH/.../android update adb", then hit enter and let it work it's magic. After that ADB_USB.ini should appear.

Got it. Thank you. I forgot that stupid windows hide the known extension, so my adb_usb.ini was adb_usb.ini.txt

.
Got it work on MAC as well.

Hi,

is there some update for the google play store 3.4.6 when I´m trying to update my apps he says "no Connection/can´t connect" But my WLAN is on!

Edit: Ok now everything is working no more issues

B_Rich · 12-31-2012, 00:18

Slowly figuring this out, my Z2 will be here in 2 days and I'd like to root it out of the box, so I'm getting a head start on it.

To answer a lot of questions that I have with one question: Has anyone successfully done this on a 64 bit operating system? Either 64 bit Windows 7 or 64 bit Windows 8?

Thanks.

B_Rich · 01-02-2013, 22:34

Got 'er figured out. Thanks for the guide
