After restart the user is dropped back into the normal shell. This code modifies the original psneuter code written scotty2. Immediately after the adb deamon is killed the code forks, and creates another adb deamon process. Hence when the user reconnects to via adb again there is already a deamon running and the phone does not restart. The user is dropped into the root shell. Tested on - LGP970 : Froyo 2.2 with LG version v10d modified: README modified: psneuter modified: psneuter.c
ro.secure key value pair, the adb link freezes on the terminal and the server manually by running a adb kill-server. After connecting to the adb shell again the user gets only upto 20 seconds of root, before the device restarts itself and reboots in normal more with ro.secure set. In this modified version we do not depend on the device to restart the adb process, but do it manually. Does this is much more reliable method as some devices are programmed to restart or freeze when the adb server is killed manually. LGP970 was one such device. Running the modified version of this code fixed the problem. I will test this on more devices and keep the README file updated accordingly. modified: README modified: psneuter modified: psneuter.c

On some devices when the adb deamon is killed after changing the
ro.secure key value pair, the adb link freezes on the terminal and
the server manually by running a adb kill-server. After connecting
to the adb shell again the user gets only upto 20 seconds of root,
before the device restarts itself and reboots in normal more with
ro.secure set.
In this modified version we do not depend on the device to restart the
adb process, but do it manually. Does this is much more reliable method
as some devices are programmed to restart or freeze when the adb server
is killed manually.
LGP970 was one such device. Running the modified version of this code
fixed the problem.
