an even easier way to get root on Nokia 8110 4G - firmware v16... my 'adbroot' app ;)

[speeduploop]

Hi people!

I know I'm a bit late - because I wanted to release yesterday at my birthday - but yeah it needed a few minutes more...

So what is it?

--> a small app which toggles adb root-permissions on/off -- on stock v16 and without touching ANY partitions.

--> so it's a temporary root (you can revert it with the app or by rebooting the phone) but it's so trivial to use that it can replace permanent roots most of the time.

(it works by replacing the in-memory copy of the adbd-binary at runtime -- no harm done...)

As any app it needs B2G to run - so if you need adb-root before B2G starts - you will need a permanent solution.

(but it's ok to stop b2g after enabling root-permissions by app - because stopping app won't stop adb-root...)

It should work on older stock-firmwares -- but couldn't test that out.

It won't most probably work on GerdaOS (because it's security-fix seems to block stock-APIs) but there you won't need this app anyway...

Installation as always: sideload by WebIDE or OmniSD.

You can find the install-zip (omni-compatible) in my cloud-drive --> https://www.magentacloud.de/share/sojjvrui22

(in 'apps' folder)

So yeah -- have fun and happy hacking!

Hi people!

Just wanted to mention: in the meantime I got feedback that my adbroot app works on v13 too...

(so yes - it should work on all stock-firmware versions)

happy hacking!

hi which zip file should i download?

[speeduploop]

Hi!

As the post already said: the app is named 'adbroot' -- so it's 'adbroot.zip' from the 'apps' folder

Hi.
I cannot root my Nokia 8110 (KaiOS 2.5.1) because PaleMoon and webide wont let me connect the phone to PC due to different software versions. Please see error below:

My question is: how can I root my Nokia 8110?
Can I open Recovery mode and apply update from SD card, with an already rooted firmware? If yes, where I can get firmware flash file?
Thanks for helping me!

Didn't I solve this problem of yours in some other thread?
