How to Root ADT-1

by JoaozaoS

Hold button on back of ADT-1 for approximately 10 seconds or until device reboots to boot into fastboot.

$ fastboot boot insecure-boot.img

This will enable root through adb.

Extract adt-su.zip then run the following to install su binary :

$ adb shell mount -o rw,remount /system

$ adb shell mount -o rw,remount /

$ adb push /EXTRACTED/ZIP/LOCATION/adt-su /tmp/supersu

$ adb shell

. /tmp/supersu/install

Credit goes giantpune for stock boot.img

Credit goes to chainfire for su binary

What benefits can I get out of rooting my ADT-1?

I'm not asking why root in general because I have an N5, N7, and TF101 that are all rooted running xposed mods and custom kernels. I'm asking if there's anything out there for the ADT-1 that can increase its functionality with root.

Where you type: "$ fastboot boot insecure-boot.img"? When I hold button for more than 10s, box reboot, but I can't access box thought adb. Do you use maybe UART connection?

Can someone upload a lollipop version of this? I need to recover my system and want to recover using lollipop. Please help.

This guide isn't very helpful. Do I need to plug my device into my computer and run the commands in a terminal or can I do it on the device? Where do I extract the adt-su.zip file to? Where did you find this info?
