Yes it can be rooted.

In adb:
adb devices
adb shell
echo 1 > /data/local/lge_adb.conf
After that open SuperOneClick and root using pneuter. Reboot phone and update Superuser from Market.
That's all, ROM rooted, worked perfectly fine for me.

Sigh, this forum is going downhill pretty fast.
Short tutorial how to root stock gingerbread
1. Read everything first and after do what is necessary:
What Is ADB And How To Install It With Android SDK LINK 1
(also read point 2. INSTALLING ANDROID SDK ON YOUR WINDOWS PC from this link LINK 2)
Don't forget to restart your PC after installations.
2) Read and install this LINK 3
3) do what 22VIN posted
In adb (this means in cdm/total commander mentioned in Link 1 at "How to Use ADB"):
adb devices
adb shell
echo 1 > /data/local/lge_adb.conf
After that open SuperOneClick and root using pneuter. Reboot phone and update Superuser from Market.
Worked for me, I had some problems updating superuser, kept force closing, but after restart, it works. hit thanks if this was useful for you.

Just wanna ask, is the 'adb devices' command necessary? I thought it is just to check available devices?

Is this question really necessary? No, it obviously is not necessary but it is useful to check whether the phone is recognized by the computer. Also, will your fingers perhaps fall off because you have pressed 11 "redundant" keys and Enter?

Lol.
doktornotor is right, check if your device is recognized by adb because I really don't want to see a thousand people asking why this method doesn't work, this being actually caused by the improper connection. So make sure you install ALL the drivers, usb debugging on, unmount sd for superoneclick and check if the connection is okay.

TY. Pneuter did'nt respond, but regeagainstthecage worked perfectly.
If you, like me, forgot to use RootKeeper before you upgraded to ICS you probably started to miss root soon after upgrade.
Luckily an exploit for Linux kernels version 2.6.39 - 3.2 have been released.
So I just packaged it with some nice scripts to install su.
Instructions:
(Windows Only)
Install USB drivers http://www.motorola.com/consumers/v/index.jsp?vgnextoid=0351f6a559431210VgnVCM1000008406b00aRCRD
(All)
1. Extract the zipfile
2. Enable USB debugging
3. Run the appropriate script file
4. Install superuser from market.
Credits to Saurik who ported the exploit to Android and also for finding the correct hex values for this ROM.
Credits to Max Lee and DooMLoRD from witch I took their previous root packages and modified it.
Windows and Mac scripts are untested so please report their workingness
Very nice! Been waiting for exactly this. Thanks!
many thanks !!! I installed ICS and rolled back to 2.3.6 beacause can't root and have many soft with root
I will re upgrade to the ISC one again and test your package
Not really sure if I do this correctly.
First I unzip the files; then debug on; connect phone to the pc; and finally run the "run-windows" file? Well it doesn't work...
This for Verizon? Cdma?

If you are on Windows you will have to install USB drivers but for us who are not
it's simply to enable USB debugging and run the appropriate script.

I missed two DLL files for windows, but have now uploaded a fixed version.
Also make sure that you have the USB drivers installed and that you manually install superuser from market (this is so you can get updates, if I included the apk in the packages it would stick to that version)
I wrote some better instructions to hopefully easier it a bit.
EDIT:
For CDMA, it would work if you guys would get the rom to. Well theoretically Motorola could patch the exploit before releasing a CDMA version but I find that unlikely.
I'm surprised by the quick finish
but now my phone are Rooted
THANKS !

Thats because this only installs the su binary. You have to get the superuser app from market yourself.

Have you made sure you have USB drivers installed and that USB debbuging is enabled?
I was enjoying the beauty of having a rooted device, but now that I have received an update from Motorola (which I thought was ICS) I have lost root access.
I have a Photon 4g running 2.3.5, and I did my root using a OCR when I was on 2.3.4. I have tried that OCR again among others and torpedo photon and no luck. Every app I try says that it was denied superuser access (which is still installed). The only exception to this is Play Movies, which says that "This app currently does not support root access, and your device is rooted" I do not know where else to turn. I just want to be part of the cool kids again. Please someone help me.
I have had success with the photon torpedo method on 2.3.5. I recommend trying it again being extra careful to follow the steps exactly.

Photon torpedo was what worked for me, except that I had to push it from the command prompt on my windows 7 laptop. For some reason, I couldn't get it to work with Terminal emulator. Good luck!
I used Motorola DROID 3 one click. Worked great.
Sent from my MB855 using XDA
Thank you, I will try the Droid 3 OCR, and if that does not work, see if I can get Torpedo to work, and if that does not work I will send it in to Motorola.
Use torpedo thru terminal emulator on your phone as I did
Sent from my Motorola Electrify using XDA
What worked for me was to use the command prompt on windows 7 instead of terminal emulator. For some reason, TE could not see the photon-torpedo file in the phone after i had transferred it there. Command prompt did.
Sent from my MB855 using xda premium
Also remember to reboot after!
I got the OTA update to 2.3.5 yesterday, and photon-torpedo is NOT working for me. After running photon-torpedo.sh, I get the error message, but my prompt doesn't change to # or root. Trying to run install-su.sh doesn't work since I'm not root and gives me permissions errors. Has anybody gotten photon-torpedo to work after yesterday's OTA update?
UPDATE:
I figured out the issue and a fix:

what commands do I have to enter to get my Windows 7 CP to do things on the Photon? Also, I tried making a data folder in my internal storage, then a tmp, and put the winrar photon torpedo into it and tried following the steps and it didn't work. I'm on 2.3.5 too. What could I be doing wrong?
can someone please help me with my post above?
For those who successfully rooted w/Photon Torpedo... is your 2.3.5 from the May Soak, was it re-soaked last week, or was it 2.3.5'ed for the first time this week?
God, I'm glad I told Moto to fsck off & swore I'd never install another Moto update (soak, push, or otherwise) again. Refusing last week's soak just might have enabled me to grudgingly endure my final 50 days with this miserable excuse for an Android phone.

You don't need to create /data/tmp in your phone's internal storage. That folder already exists inside the system partitions. Use ADB to push it in. Follow the instructions in the Photon Torpedo thread.

I didn't have my phone Rooted before the update to Android 2.3.5 but after trying several different methods I found one that worked with ADB and torpedo program/files with a step by step that actually says to have 2.3.5 I followed the instructions and it worked for me, only problem I had was I unzipped the photon-torpedo.tar file by mistake... it doesn't have to be unzipped into the folder just place the whole file in the folder.

Photon Root Instructions
1. Create a folder in the C:/ drive on your Windows 7 machine called Photon root. (You can call it anything you want, but that’s what I called mine and will use for the purpose of this post).
2. Download and install the adb package from here and install them into C:/Photon root.
3. Download photon-torpedo.tar from here and copy it to C:/Photon root in your windows machine. Do not unzip it.
4. On your phone, go to Settings > Applications > Development and select USB Debugging.
5. Plug your phone to your computer and on your phone, set it to USB Mass Storage.
6. Copy photon-torpedo.tar from C:/Photon Root to your phone’s internal storage using Windows 7. Don’t put it in any folder, and leave it zipped.
7. Install Superuser from the Market. (This is absolutely necessary to do before you get started or it won’t work)
8. Open the command prompt (Start >> run “cmd” >> enter)
9. Type the following commands – don’t worry about the errors, it will be all right
• cd C:/photon root
• adb push photon-torpedo.tar /data/tmp
• adb shell
• cd /data/tmp
• /bin/tar xf /data/tmp/photon-torpedo.tar
• /data/tmp/photon-torpedo.sh
• /data/tmp/install-su.sh
10. That's it. Reboot and enjoy.
Hey Mopho's - I'm currently running a rooted (via shabby's AIO) stock sprint v 2.3.4 .... System Version : (45.3.6.MB855.Sprint.en.US) / Build number : 4.5.1A-1_SUN-198_6
I've tried downloading the OTA 2.3.5 via wifi, and installation was going ... but upon reboot - it says update failed. Tried this 2x - I didn't see many commenting on going back to an original stock rom before, getting the OTA update, and that rather - rooted devices would be unrooted after 2.3.5 OTA. I've never installed any other ROM besides what came with the phone...
Was there something I needed to do to "unroot" or revert without wiping/losing my current settings / apps ? Basically, what can I do to get this done
rooted apps installed : AdAway / Superuser free / Root Basic Check free / LBE Privacy Guard / Wifitether
Thanks in advance for the info. I realize Shabby's AIO will not re-root my phone, so will need to see the ADB/Torpedo methods posted here after. I just need to get the OTA update working first.
I would think twice before taking that ota update. Currently, under 2.34, your bootloader should be unlockable. The main effect of the 2.35 update is to lock the bootloader.

I agree with bitbang, I've had enough of this bullsh*t from Motorola. It's time for me to shop around. Unfortunately for me, I have a little more than a year on my contract! I've heard that Sprint had some kind of buy back or release program where they let you trade in your phone for something new (for a "small" fee, of course). It just might be worth it to get away from Moto. This smartphone technology changes way too fast for 2 year contracts anyway.
It's a shame. When I can get this phone to work properly, it is awesome, I'm sure bitbang even agrees with that but it is definately time to move on. The Samsung Galaxy 3 looks pretty cool!

When the update fails and you see the Android guy with the "!", press and hold both volume up and down. This will show you on the screen why it failed. Common causes for failure are mods to the build.prop file or removal of core apps.

Hi, I've successfully rooted my phone. I have a Huawei Y200.it might be easier if you waited for OneClickRoot do be launched maybe they have the device listed for auto flashing that does everything for you.
OneClickRoot: ==> I can't post links sorry ..New User, please search on internet..
But anyway, here's the batch file I think I uploaded it..
So its easy once you root it, but WARNING: DO NOT INSTALL CLOCKWORK MODE AGAIN THROUGH ROM Manager OR ANY SOURCE. (this might bring you into bootloop)
follow steps to use the batch file...
1- You need to do this on your phone: Allow USB Debugging and STAY AWAKE Function, STOP fastboot mode. Now Install ADB Drivers when connecting phone into computer via usb and debugging mode is on (you'll see a drive usually green on your computer, check for "drivers" inside driver folders and install windows drivers.
2- You need to install Android SDK : ==> New User, Can't post links, Search Android SDK..
navigate to default download location: " C:\Program Files\Android\android-sdk\platform-tools ", shift + right click inside the folder with nothing selected, and run command prompt from there. run following command "adb devices" and it should list a device number.
3- Now exctract the zip file in attachement and run these in order: -"adb.exe" then -"fastboot.exe" then -"root_v5.2.bat". It should say a succesfull message and ( as i remember) phone should reboot (if it states "reboot phone now" in cmd prompt). now you shoudl be rooted and see "SuperUser" application installed.
4- Check if you're properly rooted with a "rootchecker" market app. If App requested root access by SuperUser (ofcourse you'll tap Accept right?) and says you have proper root, you can now jump around and scream " I rooted my phone" like i did... You can now Install Link2sd app and enjoy free enternal storage since you've rooted your phone... Any Directions using Link2sd repost or you can search internet... One limitation is you can'r use swap (to increase your RAM ), and have to go through different ROM's. If rooted your phone succesfully please inform and on any questions about ROM switching...
Hi there.
The root process isn't so hard , bit the rom switch what would be important for me (not the method, i know that and i'we installed modified recovery its working...)
Went to hell and back @google to find any custom roms for this little fckr but besides the clean base rom and the ics por (whats not working for me) i could not find any other rom. Sorry my bad i have found one origonal stock rom too, bit besides theese do you know is there any other roms exists for u8655?
anyone try the above method?
is there anyone try the above method for English version?
An earlier version, on hungarian with english and german language included... worked perfect. Since 6 months.

This procedure is for CWM, not for root.The root phone you must copy superuser.signed 3.0.7 on memory card, and boot phone in cwm, and install zip from sd card/choose zip from sd card/superuser.signed3.0.7/yes, and reboot system now, when is proces for install zip over.Then your phone is rooted, you think because write ROOT_V5.0.2 it is for root-NO, this for install CWM.

So its easy once you root it, but WARNING: DO NOT INSTALL CLOCKWORK MODE AGAIN THROUGH ROM Manager OR ANY SOURCE. (this might bring you into bootloop)
follow steps to use the batch file...
1- You need to do this on your phone: Allow USB Debugging and STAY AWAKE Function, STOP fastboot mode. Now Install ADB Drivers when connecting phone into computer via usb and debugging mode is on (you'll see a drive usually green on your computer, check for "drivers" inside driver folders and install windows drivers.
2- You need to install Android SDK : ==> New User, Can't post links, Search Android SDK..
navigate to default download location: " C:\Program Files\Android\android-sdk\platform-tools ", shift + right click inside the folder with nothing selected, and run command prompt from there. run following command "adb devices" and it should list a device number.
3- Now exctract the zip file in attachement and run these in order: -"adb.exe" then -"fastboot.exe" then -"root_v5.2.bat". It should say a succesfull message and ( as i remember) phone should reboot (if it states "reboot phone now" in cmd prompt). now you shoudl be rooted and see "SuperUser" application installed.
4- Check if you're properly rooted with a "rootchecker" market app. If App requested root access by SuperUser (ofcourse you'll tap Accept right?) and says you have proper root, you can now jump around and scream " I rooted my phone" like i did... You can now Install Link2sd app and enjoy free enternal storage since you've rooted your phone... Any Directions using Link2sd repost or you can search internet... One limitation is you can'r use swap (to increase your RAM ), and have to go through different ROM's. If rooted your phone succesfully please inform and on any questions about ROM switching...

when you say RUN adb.exe fastboot.exe and root.bat what do you mean and where do i run them? ive installed platform tools and have done adb devices//my device is there. i extract the files and run them in cmd and double clicking and it doesnt reboot. i guess im having trouble with the .zip i know the files are good. any help :good:would be appreciated.

Hi there
I did a research about this lock and i found a modified kernel what is capable of unlocking again the bootloader. (Claimed by the author, that it should solwe rhe issue)
Please tell me, since i did not upgraded the firmware due to the issue, could it be true?
Because i did not found any feedback from the users who tried it.
Can we count on another unlockibg method, or is this true that the bl can be unlocked via adb kerbel flash?
Thanks in advance.
I found an information on the german android-board
--> http://www.android-hilfe.de/huawei-ascend-y200-forum/414947-b898.html#post5670959
Fuchsteufel told us, that the recovery is working, but only with adb-commands, without any screen.
The solution is to flash an new version of the kernel and the cwm

Thank you.
Disclaimer: rooting your phone entails risk. You may brick it, cause it to catch fire, cause it to form the first node in the Skynet network, or otherwise render it inoperable. Please read the directions carefully to ensure that nothing unexpected happens. This rooting tool is as safe as I can make it, but there's never any guarantees.
After a very helpful suggestion from Surge1223, I managed to take an existing root exploit for the Xperia and modify it to work on 4.3 with SELinux enforcing. This installs su, SuperSU, and the necessary support files to enable the root.
This rooting process should work with a wide range of Android devices, particularly those running Linux Kernel before 3.5.5 (which most Android 4.3 ROMs use.) It 's known to work for may GS4 variants and is harmless if it fails to work (no "Warranty Void" flags get set.)
Again, using this WILL NOT set the "Knox Warranty Void" flag.
For a video showing the steps to root, see Tomsgt's awesome work here.
There's another video from owenbeals here.
A hint to people having problems using this:
If you use XDA to e-mail me a question, SET YOUR XDA ACCOUNT UP TO ACCEPT MAIL.
If you are set up to refuse mail, then your question will be ignored. Actually, you shouldn't e-mail me. PM or post here.
Step 1 - setting up the USB drivers
Before you try using this rooting program, you'll need to have the USB drivers installed for your phone.
The easiest way to do this is to install Samsung Kies. If Kies sees your phone, you're OK for the drivers.
If you don't have the drivers working, the root installer will hang at "waiting for device..."
Step 2 - Enable USB Debugging
The second thing you must do is to enable USB debugging on your phone. Go to "Settings", "More...", then "Developer Options".
If "Developer Options" doesn't appear, then you'll need to enable it - go to "Settings", "More", "About Phone". Scroll down so the "Build Number" is visible, then tap on that several times until developer mode is enabled.
In Developer Options, make sure "USB Debugging" is checkmarked.
Step 3 - Enable USB ADB Access
Make sure that your computer is allowed to use USB debugging on your phone. To do this, unplug your phone and unlock it. Then, plug in the USB cable.
If you see an "Alllow USB debugging?" window pop up, tap on the "Always allow from this computer" to check it, then tap OK.
If you don't see that popup, it's OK, you should be OK to proceed.
That's it for the phone.
Step 4 - Unzip the saferoot.zip
Then you need to unpack the attached ZIP file somewhere onto your PC.
You should have the following when done:
- a file called "install.bat"
- a file called "install.sh"
- a folder called "files"
Step 5 - Root your phone
Double click on the "install.bat" to run the root. It will root and reboot your phone. Once that's done, you're rooted!
The first thing that the install script will ask you is whether or not to install Busybox. Busybox is a program that provides a fairly extensive set of Linux shell utilities that a Unix user would expect to see. If you're not going to be using the shell (terminal emulator or adb shell) then you may not want to install Busybox. You may, however, find that some root-required utilities assume that Busybox is installed.
If SuperSU asks you to update the su binary, choose the "Normal" method.
If SuperSU asks you about disabling Knox, allow it.
This exploit will NOT set the Knox Warranty Void flag. It will set the "Custom" flag, but that's nothing to worry about.
While you're running this, you'll need to keep the phone awake and watch both the computer running the rooting script and your phone.
You shouldn't unplug the phone unless you're prompted by the rooting script. Leave it connected until it's done.
Rooting on Linux and MacOS
The saferoot script has a copy of adb for MacOS and for Linux included.
To run this root, download and unzip the zip file. Open a shell window, use "cd" to change to the directory where you unpacked the zip, and type "sh ./install.sh". The OS will be detected automatically and the root should run basically as described above.
If the embedded adb fails, you'll need to have the Android Debugging Bridge (adb) installed and configured and on your path. You can test that it's ready by opening a shell (Terminal) window and typing "adb shell". If you get a shell prompt on the phone, type "exit" and you're ready to go.
Notes
Don't try to download this onto your phone and run it from there. That won't work, at least for the i545 (i.e. running it from the Terminal Emulator app will fail.)
Having troubles getting adb connected? There are several possible causes and solutions.
There are cases where people can't get the connection working unless they toggle the USB connection type from Camera to Media and back. Perhaps that may help getting it to work. Toggling the "Enable USB Debugging" apparently helps in some cases as well.
Others report that using these Samsung USB drivers resolve connectivity issues. Of course, these drivers are for Samsung phones. Install the right stuff for your phone.
Important - please read
If you fail to read this, you will be taunted.
1. You can't install custom recovery and custom ROMs on a phone with a locked bootloader. This rooting program does not unlock your bootloader and won't allow you to flash custom on a locked device. However, NOTHING allows flashing a custom recovery on a bootloader locked phone at the moment. See Safestrap for a way to install some custom ROMs.
2. Resetting the "Custom" and open padlock indication during boot can be worked around using the Xposed Framwork and Wanam Xposed. Get those two from the Play Store. In Wanam, tick "Security Hacks", "Fake System Status".
3. If Saferoot fails with the messages
"Your kernel is patched!
This device is not supported."
That means that your device's Linux kernel has been updated to keep Saferoot from working. Unless you can downgrade to an older kernel, you can't use Saferoot.

Edits:
12/12/13: This version of the zip file includes the adb.exe so you don't need to install ADB just for this.
I've also changed it so you shouldn't have to unzip to any special place.
12/13/13: I've swapped out Superuser for SuperSU. This version also installs busybox for you once the phone finishes rebooting.
12/14/13: Fixed install of busybox. Install SuperSU as Chainfire wants it: called Superuser.apk, installed into /system/app.
12/14/13: Move "Look at your phone and give permission" message to the top of the script.
12/15/13: Update source distribution to correspond to updates.
12/16/13: Rename to saferoot as it's not just for MJ7.
12/17/13: Update to fix "text file busy" errors
12/18/13: Correct the "text file busy" fix. Force su binary to be setuid root so root checkers will work.
12/18/13: Add more help in the "install.bat" for people having troubles getting adb working
12/18/13: Ensure the folder setup is right when starting install.bat
12/18/13: Give users time to allow su permissions
12/21/13: Disable SEAndroid before rooting
12/22/13: Install selinuxoff to set SELinux to Permissive mode at boot
12/23/13: Fix permission on selinuxoff binary, update SuperSU install and clean up rooting program
12/30/13: Remove selinuxoff program - it doesn't do anything. Updates to the install scripts.
1/6/14: Hard code kernel addresses for ATT Galaxy S4 so it takes less time to root.
1/6/14: Try to work around Knox deleting the su binary
1/10/14: Clear immutable bit on existing programs to allow them to be updated
1/12/14: Update to current SuperSU binary
1/13/14: Updates suggested by @bgmg
1/16/14: Correct typo in Linux/OSX installer
1/21/14: Really correct the typo. Add OS detection to install.sh so it can run on OSX or Linux without installing adb.
1/21/14: Update to current SuperSU
2/4/14: Detect when the phone is not rooted and don't continue the rest of the operations.
3/29/14: Install 'unroot' script and add unroot.bat/unroot.sh to allow simple removal of Saferoot changes.
4/4/14: Fix problem with unroot not running
4/30/14: Clearer error messages on root fail, allow user to choose installation of busybox
5/14/14: Fix typo in Unix install script, more text on why it failed.
5/24/14: Fix install.sh portability issue with double equals on test.
Source code, Unrooting, and the Custom Flag
The source code for the exploit tool used for this rooting method is attached.
In addition, two common questions:
1. How do I unroot?
OK, so why are you so anxious to unroot just after rooting?
If you have used the current version of Saferoot to root your phone, then there's an unroot script installed to make this easy.
If you still have Saferoot unzipped, plug in your phone and use "unroot.bat" (Windows) or "unroot.sh" (Unix) to remove the changes that Saferoot made. Then, open SuperSU and instruct it to perform a "full unroot". After that, all changes that Saferoot have made to your device have been removed.
If you don't have the unroot.sh, then you can unroot manually as below.
There's two things you need to do to undo what this installer does. First, remove busybox. This will require adb shell or the use of Terminal Emulator to get a shell prompt. Execute the commands below at a shell prompt.
The "$" and "#" characters at the start of those lines are the system prompt. You don't type those.
Spacing, case, etc. matter. The letter after "type" in the "find" command is a lowercase L.
$ su
# mount -o remount,rw /system
# rm -f /system/etc/install-recovery-2.sh*
# rm -f /system/xbin/selinuxoff*
# find /system/xbin -type l | xargs rm
# rm /system/xbin/busybox
# mount -o remount,ro /system
# exit
$ exit
The easiest way to do this is to install the "Terminal Emulator" app from the Play Store. Or use "adb shell" to get a shell prompt.
You can cut and paste the following to make it easier.
su
mount -o remount,rw /system
rm -f /system/etc/install-recovery-2.sh*
rm -f /system/xbin/selinuxoff*
find /system/xbin -type l | xargs rm
rm /system/xbin/busybox
mount -o remount,ro /system
exit
exit

Click to collapse
It's very likely that the "/system/xbin/selinuxoff" and "/system/etc/install-recovery-2.sh" files won't be there.
Now, open SuperSU and use "Settings", "Full unroot". When that's done, everything that this installer has done has been reverted.
If you've installed xposed framework or wanam, you should remove those and reboot BEFORE doing the SuperSU unroot. Also, if you've installed Safestrap you'll need to boot into SS recovery, delete the custom ROM slots, then uninstall Safestrap recovery. Or, uninstall the Safestrap application. If you forget to do these before doing the SuperSU unroot, you'll need to re-root to do those.
If you need adb to access your phone, there's a copy in the "files" directory included with the installer. You'll need to open a command prompt and use cd to change to the files directory before trying to use that adb.
2. How do I get rid of the "Custom" padlock open screen at boot?
You get that because you're running custom software. Samsung has an application that runs at boot to look for modified system files; this app detects that the phone has been modified and sets that flag.
If you really need to get rid of that, you can do the unroot in #1 above, then reboot. Wait about 10 minutes or so, then reboot again. If you haven't changed any other system files, the custom flag should have been reset.
If that doesn't fix it, flash the stock no-wipe ROMs from this forum. Those will undo whatever you've changed and allow the phone to reset the custom flag.
If you want to keep root while getting rid of that "Custom" flag, then you can fake it. Install xposed framework (google for it), enable it, then reboot.
Then install Wanam Xposed, and enable that module in xposed.
In Wanam, choose "Security Hacks", "Fake system status".
That will keep the "Custom" flag from appearing. This is a cosmetic fix, but it does get rid of the "Custom" screen.
Other devices?
There is really nothing specific to the I545 or MJ7 in this root tool. There's a good chance it'll work on anything currently running 4.3.
If you have success with other devices, please reply to let us know.
Im glad I could help and good work! Im sure this will work with MK2 too.

Yup. I'd say that it's almost certain.
Script did not work for me. I think there is a problem with the script or the zip.
Suppose there is something actually malware-ish about vroot or kingoroot, would that be something that could be "undone" so to speak by unrooting? As in, I've already rooted via both of those other methods at different times. Should I unroot to stop whatever they "may" be doing and then try and root via your method? Or is there really no point now that I'm already rooted?

Which of the two scripts? What error did you get?
I'll be happy to fix if you'll provide some details!
I can confirm this works on ME7 just in case anyone is wondering, Im pretty sure it can easily work on any build we have so far. Might require minor modification but for the most part, this is solid.

As far as lingering malware on the phone, the only thing you could do would be to flash a full-wipe factory image then root it when done.
I don't know if it's worth the hassle or no. If it was me, I'd be wiping, but I put the effort in to make this happen since I couldn't accept the closed-source risk with vroot.

Sharkie, I'm new to S4, but I've been reading for decades & decades & saw a reference to a youtube video by Sgt tom (not sure of the name, but…) you can search for titles there relating to rooting S4, & it shows how you can install kingo root to obtain the exploit, do some stuff (don't recall, it may just be deleting that)… & installing Super SU in it's place or over that.
So do a little searching on root & s4 in youtube & invest some time… sorry, not sure if that was all meant for a diff version of the firmware; but it is worth looking into to use the kingo's exploit & then immediately replace it.
Don't know about the issue w/kingo is malware, or 'just' that it harvests your meid &/or other personal info, but there is a way to use it & replace it if you are OK with that approach…
Sorry I don't have specific references, but I just got into this since 'Grey Thursday' sale @ Staples, early start on Black Friday sales… hth,

First off... THANK YOU SO MUCH!
I did this method by putting it on my sd card... and it went through and told me to reboot. but upon reboot i have no custom splash screen and no su. i will try again tho.
I think I'm doing it wrong? Can someone help my dumb ass. Lol or I can just to adb. Either way haha.

Try the adb method first then if you get a failure message try the install.sh method from terminal again. After the script is done type "su". See if that works

I am having the same results as the poster before you. I tried using adb method, and the prompt said adb couldn't be found.
Anybody want to confirm this works? I just updated to MK2 right now and want to try but would like another confirmation first.
