How To: Root the Samsung Behold 2
Please keep in mind that ADB does NOT work on 64 bit systems for the Behold 2… Check the How To Setup ADB Procedure for details.
I. Setup ADB and USB Drivers
1. Follow our How To Setup ADB procedure then once you can see the phone’s serial number when typing adb devices, you can come back to this procedure and continue.
2. Make sure Menu > Settings > Applications > Developement > USB Debug is Checked On.
II. Download Files and Run ADB Commands
1. Download this file and place them all in the AndroidSDK > Tools folder (same folder as adb.exe).
2. Plug the phone into the computer via USB and mount the USB so we can transfer a file to the sd card.
3. Select to unmount the sd card on the phone once it copies over.
4. After you have transferred the su file over to the sd card, unplug the phone and go to Menu > Settings > Phone Settings > USB Settings > PC Mode is Checked On.
5. Now plug the phone back in.
6. Open the command prompt on your computer by going to the Start menu and typing cmd into the search bar and hitting enter.
7. In the comman prompt window, type the following with hitting enter at the end of each line:
cd\
cd androidsdk\tools
adb push try3.dat /data/local
adb shell chmod 0755 /data/local/try3
adb shell
/data/local/try3 /system/bin/sh
mount -o rw,remount /dev/st9 /system
chmod 04755 /system/bin/sh
cat /sdcard/su.dat > /system/bin/su1
cat /sdcard/su.dat > /system/bin/su
chmod 04755 /system/bin/su
su
cat /system/bin/playlogo > /system/bin/playlogo_real
/system/bin/chmod 0755 /system/bin/playlogo_real
echo “#!/system/bin/sh
/data/local/try3.dat /system/bin/sh
mount -o rw,remount /dev/st9 /system
chmod 04755 /system/bin/sh
cat /system/bin/su1 > /system/bin/su
chmod 04755 /system/bin/su
/system/bin/playlogo_real” > /system/bin/playlogo
exit
exit
exit
adb install Superuser.apk
adb shell reboot
8. The phone should reboot. Once it does type the following into the command prompt (with the phone still connected):
adb shell
su
9. If after you do that you get a # symbol on the command prompt, you were successful! You have root access! Enjoy!
*UPDATE: Some people are reporting the phone is lagging heavily after doing this procedure. Please go to the next procedure and load a custom ROM to fix it (plus get a ton more new features as well!) Head over to our How To Load a Custom ROM on the Samsung Behold 2 procedure!
Reported Issues
Issue: The phone is lagging really bad…
Solution: Please goto the next procedure and load a custom ROM. This will fix it. (How To Load a Custom ROM on the Samsung Behold 2)
Issue: During the command prompt steps I get a “no such file” error.
Solution: Whatever file this happens on, try to add or remove the extension from the end of it (I.e. Use try3.dat instead of try3, or try3 instead of try3.dat, etc.)
went I am star type the command i have this messages.
Can any one help me plase.
Thanks

Patricio,
Make sure you do steps 2 and 3 in section I.
please help i always follow directions and redo steps like 5 or 6 times, cant get past
adb push try3.dat /data/local
i get ‘android debug bridge version 1.0.26’ and a whole bunch of info as soon as i do.
phone is in pc suite mode, with memory card mounted and unmounted. tried both
su.dat is on memory card and try3.dat and superuser are in androidsdk/tools along with adb.exe
i also tried
adb push try3/data/local
and i did the adb devices and my phone showed up at t939
I’m also having this problem, it’s as though the command is not complete for “adb push try3.dat/data/local”.
It gives a list of commands for adb as though something is missing, any ideas?
Jon,
Check your spacing. You need a space in there. Follow the procedure carefully.
i reinstall the drivers and now i get thos other messages 🙁

I can’t even get the drivers installed:
Windows cannot verify the digital signature for the drivers required for this device. A recent hardware or software change might have installed a file that is signed incorrectly or damaged, or that might be malicious software from an unknown source. (Code 52)
I have no idea what this means, but according to a website, Windows is simply never going to allow me to install the drivers no matter what I do, so I’m pretty screwed.
Stumbling,
Are you using windows 7? If so read the before you begin. You need vista or LOWER to use this procedure.
When I type in the first command it says: cannot stat ‘try3.dat’: No such file or directory
But I downloaded the Try3 file and put it in the Tools dir.
What am I doing wrong and what should I do?
Thanks,
Bob
Ok figured out I didn’t have the ADB installed correctly.
Does it matter which ADB version is used? I saw somewhere that it does. I have version: 1.0.25
ADB finds my phone and says it’s online.
I have followed all the instructions a few times and my phone still doesn’t root.
I tried it by both copy and pasting as well as manually typing. Please help.
After staying up till 2am for two nights and watching serveral videos and scouring so many sites… I finally got my buddy’s Samsung Behold II rooted. 🙂 That was crazy compared to my MyTouch3G. My theme is: never stop till u get it.

Perez,
Just added this issue to the reported issues. Try adding the .dat to the end of the file (it’s usually an extension issue).
Thanks a ton! I’m loving this Galaxy 1.6 ROM. I did have to type try3.dat instead of try3. Maybe the instructions should be changed, or is there a reason it is typed that way?
Mikey,
I added it to the instructions, it depends on the computer (if your computer shows file extensions or not it changes).
i get permission denied when i put in the last piece of code “su”what i do wrong?
I followed the instructions twice. everything seems to go well until after reboot. When I type in su, I get permission denied. Any thoughts?
I keep getting this

Joe,
Read the reported issues at the bottom of the procedure…
dzermin and shawn,
Make sure that you are watching your phone when you type su. You should get a prompt from the Superuser application that you installed asking whether or not to allow access to su. If it prompts you, grant it access and hopefully it will work. If not, I guess you should be sure that the Superuser permissions app is installed on the phone and that you did everything in the tutorial.
Finally, I got it rooted. However, after the phone being rooted, it gets extremely slow. Any solution? Please help….
Ray,
Goto the next procedure, Step 8 to load a custom ROM. They are optimized for performance and have other cool features too.
This solution for rooting the Behold 2 cause severe lagging issues. I had to factory reset the phone as it made it completely unusable. Evern after I factory reset the phone, it still lagged. I had to get a new phone.
Leslie,
You need to goto the next procedure and flash a custom ROM. I’ll update the procedure so people make sure to goto the next procedure, thanks for letting me know.
Thanks. I will give it a try. But the “twlauncher” stop working too. Will the custom ROM able to fix that? Tkx
Ray,
Yep, definitely.
Guys, you have to do the custom ROM. It’s awesome baby…OMG It’s a MUST do step. Totally kick ass.
Ray,
Lol ya I feel the same way. They did wonders with the behold roms, especially if you get rid of the cube… My opinion.
What does this ROM have? There is no explanation of it on the ROM page. Is it 1.5 or 1.6? I have flashed to a custom ROM and I didn’t have to root my phone to get it, and I have root access now with the ROM. I’m just curious what this one does.
TheUnlockr,
Do you know does the “custom ROM” setup compatible with apps “overclock widget”? That apps stop after I reboot my phone. I saw the review saying that is a very cool apps to extend battery life. Actually, that’s the apps get me started on how to root the phone and also that’s the apps freeze up my twlauncher. Any idea?
Lesile,
By loading the ROM here get my phone operates much faster at any level. Plus, the layout is totally diff from stock and I think is more user friendly.
Ray,
Not sure, sorry. I’d check with the developer of the app… or try a different overclocking app (one that isn’t a widget) and see if that works instead.
I’m opposite, i’m stuck on
“/data/local/try3 /system/bin/sh” this line…
it says it’s not found…… but the line before it works, lol. i hope i didn’t mess up.
Kimberly,
Try writing
Try3.bat instead of try3
Read the reported issues for more info.
the link to download ODIN Flasher and Original Firmware is broken, please fix it, or where can i download odin flasher, my behold is very slow now
i keep getting an error..
C:\Android\tools>adb push try3.dat /data/local
776 KB/s (74512 bytes in 0.093s)
C:\Android\tools>adb shell chmod 0755 /data/local/try3.dat

/data/local/try3/system/bin/sh: not found
any ideas?
mount -o rw,remount /dev/st9 /system
mount:operation not permitted
use “try3.dat” instead of just try3. Once you root your behold it will be very slow, it will freeze you wont be able to use it…but once you load a custom rom it will work fine probably better, but you will need the odin downloader….i got mine finally working…
Good luck!
How long it take to reboot?
I did everything upto last portion and waiting for reboot but it doesn’t…:(
I saw last portion of video instruction fro reboot matter(Sorry^^;)and I turned on the device..
But after I adb shell.. su but it said permission denied. What did I do wrong or there is anything I could do to fix the problem? Please help!!

thanks.

I’m looking to trade or root my Behold II. If I root the phone, can I install the latest version of Android? I’m sick of cupcake but don’t have the money for a new phone.
New task: Can we Root the Archos 7 Home Tablet that runs on Android 1.5 and gets other custom ROM like we did for the Samsung behold II?
is there a way to root without the ADB, i have a 64bit computer and i cant install the driver so is there a way for someone using a 64bit comp to root the behold 2??. anyone pleaasee help.
Is there a way to install or do this in Windows 7 64 Bit without having to run a virtual box/XP program? I’m trying to insdtall drivers and I’m having a lot of trouble. Any help would be appreciated!
Having problems with “”data/local/try3.dat/system/bin/sh”” someone please help its says nout found or no such file i tried changing try3 to try3.dat and changing sh to su but nothing can somebody please help.
Any ideas or updates on how to install Samsung adb driver on Window7 64 bit?
Just from reading the posts on this site its getting crazy. So here’s the deal. Read and then reread and then reread. Read all the steps and all the comments and solutions before you even try to attempt this. Its laid out as simple as it can be. Different pc’s are different. Win7 and 64bit is totally different. I’m just glad this works, for virtual machines I use vmware workstation7 works grreat. I’m a windows 7 user myself. So I have xp, vista, ubuntu 9.10 fedora and chromium all set up in vmware just for reasons like this. It could be harder. Imagine trying to walk the average user through a vitual machine set up then eclipse set up then android sdk and avd set up and installing all the components… a lot of that is greek to you guys and that’s ok. Just read anything you try and do a few times and read what everyone says. Saves you and everyone else a lot of head aches.
anyone in chicago want to make a few bucks and do this for me…nothing seems to be working. grrrrrrr
when i type in
adb shell
/data/local/try3/system/bin/sh
it says
/data/local/try3/system/bin/sh: not found
what am i doing wrong
Devin,
Read the reported issues at the bottom of the post.
tried this and still the file is not found.
Mikey,
At which point? What was the last thing you typed in before it said not found.
If it still says not found then it isn’t in the right folder.
Can some one please tell me why my behold 2 is not being recon by the adb.. running windows xp PRO and have manually installed drivers but yet still does not rec… please some one help as i have followed instruction and instruction one after the other and cant get it
I keep getting this on my first step:
[justin@justin_desktop tools]$ ./adb push try3.dat /data/local
error: insufficient permissions for device
Also, i’m using linux, so is there another tutorial for doing this on a linux system? I don’t see why this doesn’t work, but there may be a different approach or something. Also, this comes up using the ./adb devices

Use try3.dat instead of try3, or try3 instead of try3.dat
ive tried it all

if my phone has the update from andriod culd that b the reason why i cant root
does this work in ubuntu 10.04 if so what are the commands ?
After rooting.
How do i install android 2.1 or 2.2?
J.K.,
Continue on to how to load a custom ROM linked at the bottom of the procedure. Load one of those ROMs first and then search for an Android 2.1/2.2 ROM after and follow the same procedure to flash that.
Unlockr-
So many people are having the same problem, on other forms too.
Everything is being executed, and ALL the instructions ARE being followed. ADB says that superuser.apk is installed successfully, and we can see the program ‘superuser permissions” in our apps.
Yet, it still says “permission denied” on the last line of code. And, NO, the phone does NOT prompt you to allow su.
No one is providing an answer other than, “follow all the directions.” Well we ARE following all the directions.
ALSO- YOUR link to “superuser.apk” downloads a folder of misc files, not a file. I had to find superuser.apk on another website.
Mjhszig,
There is nothing wrong with the procedure, I literally just did it an hour ago for a friend and I followed the procedure and had no issues except for the not getting adb to recognize the phone (forgot you can’t use a 64 bit system to do the procedure, so once I switched to a 32 bit Windows computer it went just fine).
That’s not to say that you aren’t having issues, but it means that your issues are either user error or some other factor that I cannot help you with unless I was sitting with you at your computer.
What line are you typing that is giving you the error exactly and I’ll try to help.
All apk files can sometime download as a .zip folder etc on certain peoples computers. It’s not the link, it’s e fact that the format of an apk is very similar to a .zip file and if your computer isn’t sure what a .apk is it turns it into a .zip or a folder automatically. You can usually just change the .zip on the end of the file to a .apk and that fixes the issue with that.
(and those “misc files” are parts of the .apk file, your computer is just not familiar with .apk’s and is opening the file like a .zip)
Hi, im trying to root my behold 2. I am running 1.5 right now and i am on a mac. it works perfectly fine until i get to this step

Please Help thanx!!

I have completed the ADB phase and am preparing to finish the job. My question is when I do this, what will be on my phone? Do I need to have apps to upload on right away? Or will I be able to pick and choose what to erase off the phone?? Any info is awesome
So I completed phase 1 yesterday, and downloaded the other files and saved them. Today I plugged in my phone and it will not let me access it.. It pulls it up but when I click on it I get the message “cannot be accessed due to an I/O error”
Help?
Now it gets weird.. It magically worked this time.. But I had plugged it in and taken it back out at least 5 times.. What ev’s its working now I guess. Ill post back tomorrow and see if it will hook up again.
Thanks again
Why is my phone doing this? I installed the ADB and now its gone haywire. When connected to my comp it keeps allowing me in and out saying something about this I/O driver or something??? Have you seen issues like this before??
I was just curious if this can be done if i have the stock 1.6 on the phone alredy. My friend wants me to root his and im running into issues and am concerned with it being with the firmware version. Thanks for your time
Danny,
It should work just fine.
I have successfully rooted my phone in the past but now that i updated to 1.6 I would like to root again. I can’t because i get this every time:
$ /data/local/try3.dat /system/bin/sh
/data/local/try3.dat /system/bin/sh
[1] Killed /data/local/try3.dat /system/bin/sh
Any help?
Hello!!!
Can I do this on linux????
Please help me!!!!
“Try3 no longer works! Exploit closed. It’s mentioned many times on the forum.”
ok so what works?? i get as far as adb shell and the next line dont work.. so now what
i cant get past adb shell…. the next line dosnt work . ive done it 24 times and i get the same thing no matter if i use try3 or try3.dat or even capitol Try3 and Try3.dat . just wont accept the line starting with /data/ after the adb shell line
ok i got the whole thing done to the end 2xs but after doing super user.apk it dont reboot so do it manually then doing adb shell and su it says 1 here 2here3here… and access denied both times i did it. i even plugged it back in and got it to the sdktools prompt and triedd to access it with the adb shell then su without starting over and it says the same thing denied. what is wrong at the end
mount -o rw,remount /dev/st9 /system
operation not permitted
What should i do
ok finally got the drivers installed but then there is a problem in the command propt some of those lines are suppose to be combined in order for the command to work. someone needs to take the time to show whats on each line because the adb shell on LINE 5 need line 6 to accompany it so guys make note of that I’m sitting here now trying to figure it all out so i can type it out in a comment to help you guys along.
I’m sorry guys I gave up just could’nt find out what lines went with what. I guess I’ll have to wait. If anyone has sucessfully done this if you could please send me a screen shot of the commands you typed in it will be a great help. Or if anyone knows someone who can actually do this newyorks_underocver1981@yahoo.com hit me up and we can negotiate a price cause my head is killing me.
Who can I pay to root my behold 2 for me because I’ve tried the commands on line 3 down are not working does anyone know where I can find a step by step video that shows what you type and what is suppose to come up after you type it. Or can someone hit me up in my email and we can work a deal out because I just want to get my phone rooted and install my custom rom.
i get an error after
/data/local/try3.dat /system/bin/sh
it says [1] Killed /data/local/try3.dat /system/bin/sh
Then i type mount -o rw,remount /dev/st9 /system
it says mount: operation not permitted
I cant go further after this because i keep getting errors. Anyone know the solution to this problem? I have searched through all the comments and everyone who asked this question got no response. Hopefully I will get one.
I get the same problem. What is wrong?
at the point >>> cat/sdcard/su.dat >/system/bin/su1 >>> keeps coming back with the response “cannont create /system/bin/su1: read-only file system… how do i change this ?
i keep getting the same problem. Was anyone able to figure it out?
i keep getting the same problem. Was anyone able to figure it out?
is this thread still being answered? any solution for the operation not permitted at the remount part?
Hi, I just finished this, but I keep getting
Permission Denied

when I try su on the command line.
Any ideas?
Er, that’s after the reboot at the end of the procedure.
adb push try3.dat /data/local
adb shell chmod 0755 /data/local/try3
adb shell
/data/local/try3 /system/bin/sh
/data/local/try3 /system/bin/sh: not found
Moises,
Read the reported issues….
Still Stuck…
ok now its other thing
mount-o: permisson dennied
any idea????
I have read the reported issues and have tried them and it is still giving me an error on the
/data/local/try3 /system/bin/sh. Do you know of any other possibilities I can try?
Okay so, when in the command prompt i get to:
abd shell chmod 0755 /data/local/try3
It gives me this reply
error: device not found
I’m not really sure what to do. I’ve done all the steps and my phone is plugged in and on PC mode.
try3.dat at the end corrects the problem
I’m stuck at mount -o rw,remount /dev/st9 /system. I keep getting mount: operation not permitted. Can anyone help with this?
Means you didn’t type everything in correctly, start over and be very careful.
after i type in adb push try3.dat /data/local
it says protocol error why is that?.
Ok so I cannot seem to get passed this:
mount-o rw,remount/dev/st9 /system
all I get is this
# mount-o rw,remount/dev/st9 /system
mount-o rw,remount/dev/st9 /system
mount-o: not found
Any ideas on whats up here?

dude, I’ve read the reported issues at the bottom and i tryed all of the extentions to try3, this file does not work… i’ve read around the web that “try3” is and exploit and currently no longer works, can you substitute this file and give us another one to enter into the procedure.

ayuda cuando pongo adb push try3.dat /data/local, me dise error: device offline o device not foud, que debo hacer ?
y cuando lo conencto con pdanet al poner el adb, se desconecta, porque ?
Para: Luis Relynaldo Salinas: Cuando conenctas con “pdanet”, en el telefono, corre tu dedo en la pantalla de arriva para bajo. Eso te habre una pantalla que dise algo commo “USB Connected”, tocalo dos vesses para abrir lo, entonse topa para contectar, dese “Mount”. Osea a montar la tarjeta de el telephono. Deve abrir en la computadora el 5-10 segundos. despues sege con lo demas. buena swerte.
I get stuck on “Chmod 04755 /system/bin/sh”. It says”unable to chmod /system/bin/sh: Read-only file system”. What do I do?
Means you didnt type the mount -o line correctly. Start over.
just a tip… if you encounter abd shell chmod 0755 /data/local/try3 you may want to use odin to flash 1.6 and then come back
My phone doesnt show up with serial number no matter what i try
I’m having the same problem as Rain,

Is this because try3 no longer works? If so, isn’t there something else similar to try3 that we can use? Thx.
To the unlockr I did everything but wen I got to the last part where it tells you to type su I get permission denied
