[GUIDE] Systemless Root Remix Version .403



Thanks to @HypoTurtle for providing the .img files!


I thought some of you would like a step-by-step to root the most recent .403 Remix OS.?* I have tried here to put together a procedure that even new members can follow.?* Please let me know how it works for you.

PLEASE REMEMBER THAT MESSING AROUND MIGHT RESULT IN PROBLEMS IF YOU DO NOT FOLLOW INSTRUCTIONS EXACTLY.

This is only for 64 bit. Please note that you MUST type all command line commands Exactly as shown (including spaces and caps)


To root you will need only two files: one is a modified ramdisk.img that you will install while in Windows; and one is a superuser su.img to add to the data partition.

1 First, if you haven't already, download and install Remix OS Version .403 from their website.?* Go through the complete installation.

2 Next, using the Windows Browser, download ramdisk-403.img and su.img from:?*

3 To substitute the new ramdisk.img:

a Open the File Explorer and copy the ramdisk-403.img file.?*

b From the File Manager, ?*click on the Drive with your Remix OS.?* You will see a "RemixOS" folder.?*

c Click on it to open it.?* Now you should see the files including one named ramdisk.img.

d Click on the ramdisk.img and select rename the ramdisk.img ?*to ramdiskorig.img to save it "just in case"

e Now rename the ramdisk-403.img to ramdisk.img

4 To finish you need to restart and boot into Remix OS.

a First thing to do in Remix is go to Settings/Experimental features/Enable terminal debug console and activate it.

b Open the File Manager and click on ?*the Disk with Windows installed (usually Disk 1 or Disk 2)

c Click on "Users" and then on your user ID folder

d Find the "Downloads" folder and click on it. You should see the su.img that you downloaded while in Windows

e Click on the su.img file and drag it to the Download folder on the left. It will copy the su.img to your Download folder

5 Now you are ready to copy the su.img into your /data partition.

a Press ALT&F1 to open the command line.?* You should see a line of text with the # symbol.

b To copy su.img into /data, at the command line type: cp /data/media/0/Download/su.img ?*/data/su.img

c Note that there are spaces ONLY after cp and img

d Press ENTER.?*If you receive no error message then you did it correctly.

Press ALT&F7 to leave the command line. Play it safe and reboot. You now can download and run any app that requires root access.

Set to go!?* Have fun. Let me know how it works for you.
