i am using windows 7, and i am really struggling to root my phone, can someone point me towards an easy way to do so. I have looked around and tried a few things, i have been trying all morning.
My friend rooted my old hero, i then broke it, and i got a new one today, and since i never actually rooted it before its the one thing i cant do.

Have you followed the instructions from "GoldCard Procedure" at section 2 of the link I gave you? Got adb installed and working? Once you have a goldcard made, you need to run the RUU file from your computer and install it to the phone. The instructions should work so long as you work from section 2 onwards.
i am so confused.
where in scotland are you from btw?

Saw a couple threads on Rooting but wanted to see if someone could post a link to the newest and best method for rooting a TB. I have rooted multiple Evos through ADB and through the 1-click root method. Have flashed Radios through bootloader and Kernals through Recovery and can almost do all of that with my eyes closed on my Evo. Girlfriend just bought a used TB last night and I want to root it but dont want to brick the thing. The Evo is near impossible to brick but saw mention of bricking the TB. Any help is greatly appeciated. I want to put her on a near stock rom be it Froyo or GB.
EDIT: Also what is this MR1 and MR2 that I keep seeing? IF it is rom versions then how do I know which one she has?
I rooted my phone when i bought it the week it came out. Then, I dropped my phone last week and had to get a insurance replacement, which i then also rooted.
I found, out of all the write-ups, the ADB Windows Rooting writeup on androidcentral was by far the best...and didn't require me to install all sorts of extra crap on my computer.
Just follow the steps and root and then pick a rom and follow the steps to install. Don't worry about the verizon produced updates...
PS - I like Gingerremix 2.0 the best...find it in the dev. section of this site.

Go into phone status and check it the same way you would on your Evo.
The easiest rooting method I know of?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1005292
I used this even with the MR2 radio and a GB ROM. It does take a couple updates to certain things like Superuser and CWM Recovery, but those are simple.
MR1 is the first OTA that came for the Bolts, and the MR2 is the upcoming OTA. You for sure dont have the mr2 on there if its not rooted and used. The bricking issues were from a leaked radio. Ive not read anyone bricking their phone otherwise. Well, as long as theyve followed directions anyways. After that, you can browse this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1081930
Tons of choices there for her.
However, if you know ADB(I personally dont), I would just do the ADB method posted here:

Just realize that there have been problems with the auto-root version. It is highly recommended to do it manually.

READ THE PDF IN THE FIRST POST. If you do, you wont have any issues. You may have to do things once or twice, but dont stress it. Sometimes it doesnt take, not sure why, but it wont give your phone any issues as long as you follow the directions he put up.
Im always happy to help someone named Stanglifemike. My uncle that passed away in November was known as Mustang Mike. lol. He rebuilt, restored and fixed Mustangs(64.5-72 ONLY).
I used the Wiki method using ADB. It was my first time using ADB and I had no problems.
Just download the files and follow the instructions line by line.

Thats awesome about your uncle being into Mustangs, I have been for years. Sorry to hear that he passed away.
Havent rooted yet. Working during the day and then teaching automotive at a tech school at night. Gonna do it this weekend. Thanks for asking bro
So im cool with CWM. Simple. easy.
How the heck do i flash back to stock recovery so i can go 1.2 with it?
Since its 'baked in' i cant remove the hijack and restore the logwrapper...
am I being obtuse?
My understanding of the process is this -
If you are running a rom that has the recovery package built in, your tab is rooted and you have superuser status:
All you need is a Terminal Emulator such as Android Terminal Emulator (in market)
Run Terminal Emulator and type:
su
Then type:
fixrecovery.sh - This installs/flashes Stock recovery
If I'm wrong then at least this will prompt those that know more to chime in
you've made almost 150 posts and do not know the answer to this question?
You could read Goodintentions G-Tbalet for Dummies site
you can use Calkulins "Format all" zip to wipe everything and start fresh from there (perferred method)
You could Flash stock 3588
There was a post recently called "Foolproof method of getting to 1.2 from 1.1" by Ramerco that I followed and it worked perfectly.

I was a little surprised too. But everything ive done, was with CWM. All my efforts have been towards putting CWM On the os lol. I know how to remove it when its installed (logwrapper) but i wasnt sure how to flash the stock rom... never wanted stock =D Ill check out the foolproof thread.

not much, really. It's just assumed that since VS released, then pulled the update that migrated their OS to 1.2, and that pretty much all other malata tablets use the 1.2 branch, that it's easy to assume that eventually, if ever, there will be an update from VS that would be on the 1.2 bootloader.
a month ago, there were different roms for different branches. They've merged now, and you can pretty much get whatever rom you want on either bootloader (or a variation at least)

Hey goodintentions has pretty good site, there are few things that are missing (like calling out to actually let the tab bootup fully when back on stock before trying to load a ROM ***hint hint***) or calling section A / B / C and then refering to it as parts 1 / 2 / 3 ..lol (busting chops) but its a good site to bookmark a ref when modding your tab.

I don't see any ads(?). I even have adblock off for his site, in case he did use ads (if ads kept the site alive, then it's worth it imo).
As for motive, as far as I know it's to help out the community and nothing more - I even gave goodintentions a donation to keep his site going, because if it reduces the redundant questions here, then it's well worth having.
As a former modder here, you cannot believe the amount of redundant PM's I would get over and over and over and over again about the GTablet. I had asked for someone to build out a good wiki here on XDA back in March, but it never really went anywhere - so his site is a BIG help to me, and I suspect other power users as well.
Look at the stickies on this forum - for a new user trying to find information, it's far from optimal. Goodintentions site provides a service that's lacking here - simple as that.
It seriously does reduce the amount of redundancy in the threads. It also cuts down on redundant pm's. If his ulterior motive was to make money he sure as hell wouldn't have put so much time and effort into a site dedicated to a legacy device.
Thanks again GI.
hi guys...
I am kind of a noob....but have been following step by step guides by so many people and have survived this long....but have got so many un answered errors to which no one have given me a proper explanation...

I am planing to fully format my phone so that I restore the sdp file that I moved back to the original place and need to update to gingsoerbread....so that I dont get. the same problem after iI update to gingerbread....so these are questions that iI need to ask to which iI couldn't get answers....some of these may have been posted but senior members pls dont get frustrated with me for asking a noob ques....
1. I need to do a full factory format...if I do so w will it get locked like when I got it in the us...and pls direct me to the place which gives step by step instructions to hard format my phone...and unlock it at the same time...
2. after hard formatting wil I be able to use my bluetooth function...
3. I need to update to ginger bread....for which I need a step by step guide...if some one could pls direct me to the link or thread...pls....i know this is a noob question but I am not able to do so...pls help
4.i have installed so many apps and games that I do not want to lose if I hard format...is there a software like norton ghost for android....which will help me restore the apps games contacts which I previously had....i know titanium backup is one option not sure whether it does the function which I expect it to do...

I had nothing but problems out of my wifes atrix after performing the root procedure. I returned it to stock and traded it in on day 29 and got the htc inspire for her instead which we run cm7 on. The atrix is a nice little device out of the box but once i got tinkering with it seemed like one issue after another. My personal phone is an evo3d. Love it!!!! I know this doesnt answer your OP but just wanted to share my frustrations with the atrix. Good luck.

1. Once you are unlocked you stay unlocked
2. I had the same prob before gingerbread and rebooting the phone seamed to help, since gingerbread I have not had an issue with bluetooth
4. Yes TiBU can do this for you. Backup to extsd then after flashing restore from extsd.

thanks wiredpirate for the reply....
so what should I do now....
should I format first or should I unlock my bootloader first to update to gingerbread...
if I format first will I have 4.1.83 version or the one which I had when I first bought the phone....

Depends on what you mean by "format". A Factory reset done on the phone will return you to the stock version of that version, but RSD will return you to the version you flashed.

Depends on how you want to get gingerbread. Either the Official way, where you won't lose your data and won't need to unlock your bootloader BUT YOU CANNOT GO BACK TO FROYO AFTER PERFORMING THE OFFICIAL UPDATE or by flashing custom roms /fastboot images. If you decide to go this way, your bootloader must be unlocked, but you will have the option to go back to froyo.

LOL. "the atrix" eh?
There was NOTHING wrong with your Atrix. It was you. 100%. Undeniable.
Everyone gets the same software from the beginning. Rooting properly doesn't interfere with anything. You most likely used Superone Click.
Plus, first off Evo3d's blow compared to an Atrix, our phones are about 4x more powerful in every way, so don't go repping your Evo3d here. Second, any phone you bought for your wife was not as good as the Atrix, plain and simple.
Another failure. 0/2 bud, nice....
I'm not sure where to start in regards to Sony.
I myself have a Galaxy S2 and read the Bible there and got great advice/suggestions in the forums, but the Sony bit has me confused.
I have an old Xperia X10a sitting collecting dust (it's about 2-3 years old now) and since a relative wants to get a smartphone and an Android more specifically, I thought this would be perfect for her, in case she were to mishandle it or lose it.
So first, I have to unlock the phone.
Then what I'm confused about is this so called "bootloader", is this something I need to worry about or not?
So unlock phone, then, what?
Thanks in advance.
Meant to put this in Q&A, sorry Mods.

You don't need to unlock the bootloader. just follow this thread that root it, install the Xrecovery(0.3) and flash donutHD 2.2.9 and you never have to worry about anything else. Or and unlocking the bootloader has nothing to do with sim unlocking to work on different network.
So tell me how it went and ask any questions.

Lol flashing is hard for this phone e compared to others. Half the time the kernels don't flash because there's only two files in it instead of a lot for the loader.bin. like the othernight I flashed a kernal and wifi was broke and the phone was stuck sideways. Its different and I understand I'm in the same boat. Took me almost 13 hours to get this thing to stay rooted and unlocked. Used superoneclick to root and everything said I was except the flashtool lol.

All kernels that I tested was flashed with no problems. the .bin files aren't problem. All kernels which I had worked as they should. Wifi was not broken, and if it was broken, theres an update package to fix this, or you can ask in thread whats the problem that wifi is not running. ...... well sry man but I havent got problems with rooting or flashing. I think this phone is the easy task not the hard one.

I agree with harviak.. I had only one issue till now n that was when I was a complete noob and hadn't followed the steps correctly. I got it workin myself after that. So don't get scared of customizing.
Btw if ur cousin is on a different network and ur x10a is locked to a certain network then the bootloader has ntn to do with what u need. U need to remove the simlock. Look for an appropriate guide here on xda
And if u feel interested in putting in a custom ROM unlock ur bootloader (look for a thread called flashtool and check out the guides there)

Hey everyone! New here. I just got my new ZTE Majesty from Straight Talk yesterday and I hear its a relatively new phone out on the market. But, ever since yesterday I have been trying to get this darn thing rooted, but I have had no success. I've tried Motochoper, z4Root, SRSRoot, Unlock Root and a few more I can't remember. I don't get what is up with this phone, but it seems almost impossible. It's like there is something missing. I can glitch z4Root to get it to stay for a little bit... but it's barely functional. It goes away anyway.
I am running Android 4.1.2, if that has to do with anything. If anyone needs more information to help me, please do ask. I've been at work over this for the past 26 hours and it's making my brain melt.
Thanks so much. And again, if this is in the wrong section, somebody please move it. At least that way I know I'll get more hits on this problem! =)
Bump!
I'm really sorry for bumping, but I have to try to keep this at the top and not hidden away and forgotten. I have tried a few more methods (probably more dangerous methods) that also didn't work. I have posted elsewhere about rooting this phone but I haven't found anyone who can do it. Thanks so much. I know there is someone out there who can help! =D
ZTE Majesty Z796C
For the simple face that this phone came out in Sept 2013, it's no wonder why an exploit hasn't been found. Also, to complicate things, it's running Android 4.1.2. Correct me if I'm wrong, but from what I've found, this is a particularly difficult one to crack. I found a video online but the root doesn't stick. When it reboots, it's gone. Very frustrating. If anyone has anything, please let me know. Can't stand not owning my device...
BTW, it does indeed have dual core processor at 1.2 GHz.

You're talking about that Chinese root, right? That one come's SO close. But yeah, after it restart it goes away. But I have it to where before the root process ends, it sticks... but it doesn't work properly and doesn't say your device is properly rooted. Then once you restart it, it goes away. I'm trying to keep this topic as active as I can because I know someone out there is wanting to help me =D
UPDATE: I have tried the Chinese root method, SMSRoot, OneClickRoot, Klingo Android Root, SuperOneClick, RescueRoot, Poot/Ministro, z4Root, Framaroot, and even UnlockRoot Pro (a friend of mine has it). None of them Root the phone or root it permanently. It's as if the phone removes it purposely after reboot. I even tried manually rooting and no dice. Please Obi Phone Kenobi, where's our only root?
Yeah those are all the ones I tried too. I did post this on a lot of android forums but I still can't get anyone to help. This phone is about 2 weeks old and should have a root by now. If you do find a root though, would you post it here? I've been searching since the 13 for a root XD This forum may be the only chance because, well, it's a dev forum!

I just ordered one of those phones since it is on the Verizon network and that does work in the mountains and I am going to NC from Miami, I need a good throw away, anyhow......
I like to root them. My MetroPOS GS3 is rooted and I can hot spot it on 4G LTE if I need to
Even thou this would be at 3G speed, I still want to be able to hot spot 'em
so if anyone does find a root that works.......please post it here.
Also if it can be one-clicked because I use a Macbook Pro on the road, and I don't have bootcamp/Win7 on it like my iMac here at home. (That or some way to make it work thru a Mac to root it)......thanks :fingers-crossed:
So has anyone got a good root for this yet? I've been asking around but no progress. I wish I knew the problem.
It's as if 4.1.2 intentionally rejects the root and uninstalls it upon reboot during the boot process. I tried looking up the exploit from other ZTE phones, but I believe it was fixed...

Yeah. That's how it seems, especially since I can get Kingo to root it and if I unplug my device from my PC right before it finishes to tell it to shut down. But it works very temporarily (like, super temporarily. Titanium Backup doesn't work and I can't install a hacked Google Play). Root checker says it is rooted, though. But only until I restart.
Any way to downgrade this to 4.0 at all?
Crazy ZTE
Wow do they really have this phone locked! I've tried everything under the sun to ROOT this device....NO GO!!!!.....Man this is kinda fun. I really do like a good challenge...
Any luck, folks? OneClick Root's website is now claiming to work on Majesty: Has anyone attempted it lately? I'm new to rooting and a bit nervous.

I just tried it and it doesn't work. They trolled me lol. But that doesn't mean you shouldn't try it because I could have made my phone unrootable by trying so many different methods on it. I would honestly SEND my phone to a professional rooter and get them to make a method for it.

But, ever since yesterday I have been trying to get this darn thing rooted, but I have had no success. I've tried Motochoper, z4Root, SRSRoot, Unlock Root and a few more I can't remember. I don't get what is up with this phone, but it seems almost impossible. It's like there is something missing. I can glitch z4Root to get it to stay for a little bit... but it's barely functional. It goes away anyway.
I am running Android 4.1.2, if that has to do with anything. If anyone needs more information to help me, please do ask. I've been at work over this for the past 26 hours and it's making my brain melt.
Thanks so much. And again, if this is in the wrong section, somebody please move it. At least that way I know I'll get more hits on this problem! =)
