Rooted. I got a root shell, and I used the exact same syntax to obtain it about ~13-14 times over. I reset the box twice. Super unreliable and not sure how to MAKE IT reliable. I didn’t change my methods for running anything the entire time. Did the same process over a dozen times and it just happened to work once.
Not really sure what was going on here, but not even going to bother investigating. This box was a huge pain in the ■■■ for me.
If I can show you my syntax @MrR3boot maybe you can better explain what I was doing wrong and/or what was causing it to be so unpredictable?
Thanks for the machine, regardless. Always a learning experience.
Edit: @MrR3boot has now verified what was causing this issue, and I’ve fixed it accordingly. For those of you running into a similar issue as myself, learn more about the service and specific aspects of it that your script may be utilizing. This is the part that stumped me!
