Anyone tried Gingerbreak?

[netomx]

Hello. I will own one of this tomorrow, and have read the forums...

Has anyone tried to install Gingerbreak using adb ????

edit: tried with no luck. we need someone to compile it for x86

[M1cha]

I've found the source-codes of the expoits "GingerBreak" and "RageAgainstTheCage" on this page:
http://stealth.openwall.net/xSports/

Will any compiled Linux-Binary(x86) on the Revue or does we have to download the sdk/ndk for android.x86?
I don't have a Revue at the time but I will order one at monday. Shipping takes 15 day's to germany -_-

Does anyone of you have the needed knowledges to compile this or does I have to do that for you?

[netomx]

Youll have to do it. I dont know how but we need x86 versions

[M1cha]

The server for the android-sourcecode is down because it was hacked
So I can't download the source of the x86-port of Android. Hopefully it come's back online soon.

I also send a request to the Gingerbreak-Developer but I don't think he will help us.

I managed to compile "RageAgainstTheCage" for x86-Android.
I don't know if this will work on Android-2.3 but we can try it.
The only thing I need are the working su-binary and superuser.apk you are using with the actual root-method.

Can anyone please upload them?

[netomx]

There's no superuser.apk on the 3.1 userdebug. But I can upload the working su. Do you want it? By the way, I dont know if the su is programmed to not mounting rw system or the group itself.

I think it's easier trying if my compiled exploit works before experimenting with these things.
So here is the x86-version of the exploit "RageAgainstTheCage":

You need to copy this to the system, make it executable and execute it.
If it worked you should have temporary root-access. I hope it works.

Hi M1cha,could you please explain in a little more detail on how to go about copying this file to the system,and how to make it executable,for the folks on the forums who are not to sure how to do this.
Thanks.

This depends on weather this box has adb-server enabled.
If so, pull the file to /data/local/tmp with this command:

Code: Select all

adb pull rageagainstthecage /data/local/tmp

Then make it executable:

Code: Select all

adb shell chmod 0755 /data/local/tmp/rageagainstthecage

Then execute it:

Code: Select all

adb shell /data/local/tmp/rageagainstthecage

If you don't have adb, you have to copy this file on an external storage-device.
Then you can copy the file with a filemanager like RootExplorer to /data/local/tmp
Then execute this commands in an Terminal-Emulator-App:

Code: Select all

chmod 0755 /data/local/tmp/rageagainstthecage
/data/local/tmp/rageagainstthecage
