Hi,Has anybody been able to root latest firmware? I have tried various ways (found here and there) to root my M003 but with no success. Any advice what to do?

 

[ratthing]

I don't think it is possible. It appears that Eken went ahead and set up a root account on the M003, with a password. So even when you manage to setuid the su command, it asks you for a password. I tried every guess I could for the password, but no joy.

 

[mjorte]

Ok, could we remove that password?passwd file that I have found contains hashed password for root, two passwd files, one in android_fs.tarbusyboxetc and another in busybox:1.16busyboxetcroot:$1$Ns3hREef$0NTeIMTLnMpEpd7sq/j2G1:0:0:root:/:/busybox/bin/sh....administrator:x:502:0:root:/home/administrator:/bin/shadmin:x:503:0:root:/home/admin:/bin/shflash:$1$e7P29zOe$xIjGofA4/gAF6PQIA3OQD/:1000:1000:Linux User,,,:/:/busybox/bin/shhere is an article how to reset root passwordhttp://www.debianadmin.com/forgot-root-password-or-reset-root-password-in-debian.html

Hmm i do have root on my Eken M003 1.7.4If you know how todo it you can esxchange this line$1$Ns3hREef$0NTeIMTLnMpEpd7sq/j2G1with your passwordline in the original flashfile you need a unix/linux system todo that though.I could try (over the weekend) to upload my own flashfile/script directory.

 

[mjorte]

Would be suberb if you could share that script folder. btw this hash in: flash:$1$e7P29zOe$xIjGofA4/gAF6PQIA3OQD might be just string "123456" so if we swap that hash to root then we might have working root password? or then i'm just dreaming Anyway why do we need linux system to modify that file?

 

[Zerodime]

ah not necessarily a linux system but somethign that cna make those hashes ^^'somehow i had it in my brain that only linux or something like that could do it (easily) thats absolutly not true as there are many a programs to generate the string needed.

 

[desmo]

you could try to simulate an installation and generate a passaword with 1 seed with which to encrypt the password hash format and then place it inside that file you think might work? the function f (hash-password + seed) should be equal for all systems linux right? I think ubuntu uses sha512, you know that Android uses Algor?

Can you find time to upload files?

 

[desmo]

@mjorte: In theory, if you're talking about the same password management, you should change the string like this:root: 0:0: root: /: / busybox / bin / shI do not assume any responsibility for this suggestion, partly because I've never done something like this

 

[Zerodime]

mjorte I put my mod in the ADB thread (wich is stikied)

This is my way of rooting the 1.7.4 M003 fw.Using the eken_tools_for_m003.zip and changing the update.sh with the one provided here (rename update.sh.txt to update.sh).Then install ConnectBot.apk and SuperUser.apk.Open ConnectBot and type su.

 

[goroth]

Hi sorry for been noobie but how do I connect to my eken m70003 to my computer via wifi, to make the market works? I am stucked on the connectbot first screen (on eken device), 1 - what type do i choose, ssh, telnet or local ? 2 - waht do I type as [email protected]ort ?? 3 - On computer i type adb devices, but don?t show my eken therethank you!Patrick

 

[helmuteke]

you don't need connectbodon commandpromt at your pc you type (where you installed the sdk) adb connect xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:5555 (xxx = Ip adres of your device)after that adb devicesgreetings

When doing market hack I get thisE:android-sdk-windowstools>adb pull /data/data/com.google.android.googleapps/databases/accounts.dbfailed to copy '/data/data/com.google.android.googleapps/databases/accounts.db'to './accounts.db': Permission deniedI'm running ecotox 1.3.1 which said auto root. But this looks like I'm not rooted. is there something else I need to do. SU permissions or something?adb shell for sqlite3 failed so need to pull push account.db to PC

you need to change permissions to that file first. ttyadb shellsuchmod 777 /data/data/com.google.android.googleapps/databases/accounts.dbexitexitadb pull /data/data/com.google.android.googleapps/databases/accounts.db

 

[mogrith]

Duh! look at the slate it wants you to grant Root access

This is what happens if just leave it there w/o doing anythig.E:android-sdk-windowstools>adb shell/ $ susuchmod 777 /data/data/com.google.android.googleapps/databases/accounts.dbchmod 777 /data/data/com.google.android.googleapps/databases/accounts.dbexitexitexitexitadb pull /data/data/com.google.android.googleapps/databases/accounts.dbadb pull /data/data/com.google.android.googleapps/databases/accounts.db^CE:android-sdk-windowstools>adb pull /data/data/com.google.android.googleapps/databases/accounts.dbfailed to copy '/data/data/com.google.android.googleapps/databases/accounts.db'to './accounts.db': Permission deniedAll su seemed to do was echo any string I gave it until I ^c and so did not work.

Just tapped allow when SU asked permission on the M003.it worked

edit did Not-I'm going to Flash this Rom again for another wiki guide. I'll try again with a fresh install. Ecotox 1.3.1 is supposed give root. Whats a simple way to tell?

 

[percoco2000]

Just to uderstand:So, at the middle of firmware update, after copyng the busybox things, you rename the symlinked su to su.bak so the OS wil use the su command located in /system/bin, chowned to root and set the SUID. Right?And what about the root password?
