Hi everyone,
I am really sorry for opening a post so silly like this, but I just cant do this alone. I am having some problems rooting my LG P500.
The main problem is: I have NO idea wich room to choosse. I though about the "CosmIcEXperia". I also found one called "Z4Root" BUT someone told me that will not work because my smartphone haves the official 2.3.3. I also heard one called "CyanogenMod". But i am not sure wich one is the best.
I wanted one so I could overclock it a bit (to 700 maybe), so mainly for Games(since atm I cant aford a new phone).
Would you guys give a hand to this poor noob?
Cheers

Hi, thank you so much for the link
I followed up the guide but I get stuck on Step 7# "waiting for device..."
Its strange because he detected the phone. (and yes, i have debbuging mode on)

Hi
Yeh thats the guide I read, but on this part
"Turn USB Debugging OFF
Click Root
When it says: Waiting for Device, Turn USB Debugging ON
It'll now run RATC
When it says: Starting ADB Server...
Turn USB Debugging OFF
Turn USB Debugging ON
Turn USB Debugging OFF
All BEFORE it says "Waiting for device..." again"
I also did this but I still get that crazy "waiting for device msg on the 7# part :/
*thanks pressed hehe*
OH YES!!! the funny part is that i hear a "tana" sound before going to the 7# hmmm but I tryed with diferent cables so... hmm
EDIT: here is a screenshot of the "error"

Right, i belive i was able to solve the problem by using the MSbox programm (and some lines).
Now to the rom! I choossed this one: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=946354
(Mik´s CyanogenMod 7)
But I have a question...
"1. Mount /system in recovery.
2. adb shell rm -rf /system/*
You get 1 error. This is ok.
Will update if I found this bug."
What does he mean with "recovery" ? Is that when we turn off the cellphone and he says on that "safe mode" ? Its a bit hard to understand
1. If you want to understand the terms like 'recovery' and several others you will encounter then read up the dictionary thread.
2. The procedure to install custom roms can be found here.
PS: Both the above linked threads are stickies, they are always on the top of the general thread, if you had read them once you would have had all the information required.

You should have better searched for it before starting a new thread.........
As i posted previously in same thread as this, before starting exploit, you have to run some commands in ADB, as you are on 2.3.3 and then run superone click.
Its a long process. Follow this post on my blog for details, i am sure it'll work for you------http://ayushandroidworld.blogspot.com/2011/11/how-to-root-lg-p500-with-gingerbread.html?m=1

This kinda sucks. I am rebooting on recovery mod but when I see the "android image with an arrow coming out of an box" the searching bar stops 5 seconds after it starts and my cellphone reboots and it "autoinstalls" the official firmware again :| hmm (using Rom Man. to install the reboot option).

Try what I did :O
Download this: THIS!
You also need the drivers for the USB, get them here: HERE!
1° on your phone to go settings>applications>developer and activate debugging mode
2° extract root.rar and put it on your deskptop
3° Go to the ADB folder and run "cmd7.exe" (for windows 7) and the other one for xp(if you are using xp...).
4° On the CMD windows write :
adb devices
(then...)
adb shell
(then copy this, dont be scared if you see something like an "#" or "$")
echo 1 > /data/local/lge_adb.conf
5° After this reboot your cellphone. Now go to theroot folder and start the superoneclick program and SELECT Gingerbreak and press the root buttom (if you have the 2.3.3 version like i had )
Then you need to wait and TANA!! It should be done
P.s.: All the files have there own owners, they take all the credit lol
Back to my problem... I tryed again using the ADB thingy etc, and I cant do it It says its read only hmm :/
UPDATE.
And I have it working lol :3 ...
It was a "line" problem, i had to write something else bla bla bla... Thank you everyone for the help

Method outdated and risky.
Improved method: http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...5#post17148825
Hi Everybody, Im Jcmaster and im Kind of new in this forum, i have been following this forum for some time ind i think its time to give something to this comunity, i have been searched for a while and found nothing like this, i'dont know if this is ilegal (i dont think so) or if it is in the wrong section but i will continue any ways.
Ok this is to all the people who had they phones bricked while doing this, First of all, i succesfully Bricked my phone and bring it back to life by doing the following.
I was reading all the messages from people who bricked their phones by doing this tutorial and i did not understand how they did it so i tried to brick my phone to see how to fix it, but the only way i could do this was by skiping the last step, umount /efs, when i did not make this and restarted my phone, the phone get bricked, it onli lighted up the screen and do nothing.
Once i managed to brick my phone i just downloaded the KPN gingerbread rom, and the brazilian rom, y followed this tutorial to unbrick my phone: This is The Tutorial
I Installed the KPN with the OPS and the Modem files of the brazilian rom, once i got the rom running my phone was kinda messy, some random error messages and many more, so i did a wipe of the chache and dalvik and restarted the phone an it was ok, and the i installed the Fla.sh rom via odin and thats the rom im runing now and i dont have any problem, well thats how i bricked/unbricked my phone on purpose, and dont forget the last step, umount/efs. i hope it works for somebody because i worked with me.
Firts Things First, I'm not responsible for a, Brick or semibrick that may come with this tutorial i have succesfully unlocked 15 Phones and by the thime they dont have any problem, so i suggest to read the entire post as many times is needed to understand the entire procedure & clarify all the doubts that you may have.
If you have a cuestion, please ask it, its better to wait some time until you have an answer that brick your phone, and also your cuestions are usefull for other people.
Once this is understood lets proceed.
Ok ill start with the Requirements.
You Will Need:
Your Samsung Galaxy Ace (obviously)
The original Usb Cable that comes with the phone.
Your Computer (I will use Windows XP for the demonstration, because i dont know how to do it with other O.S)
Your Phone has to be Rooted
Samsung Kies Installed Wich can be found HERE
ADB wich comes with Android SDK and can be found HERE
Ok Once you have all that stuff we can continue.
I will not teach how to Root your device because custom roms are already rooted and if you have a stock rom there are plenty tutorialn on hou to root it, and also i will not teach you how to install Kies because its realle easy and anyone can do it, i will only teach you how to install Andoid SDK and the specific ADB Package OK lets start.
Once you have downloaded the Android SDK Run the Installer trough all the steps to install it, I recomend to Install it in "C:" disk so it makes easier to make al the further steps, if it ask for the Java SDK just download and install, restart the Android SDK Installer and continue, Once its Fully Installed open it and do this next steps:
1-Go to the "Available Packages" Option on your left Menu
2-Click on the "Refresh" Button ond the bottom Right and wait until it finish
3-From Items select the "Andoid SDK platform-tools, revision 6" Item
4-Click the "Install Selected" button on the botton right and wait until it finish
5-Now you can either close the SDK or leave it open.

"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",

"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Now that you installed the SDK and the ADB its time to set the Path so the cmd.exe recognizes the ADB, there are two methods, One With cmd.exe (console) and one with the My PC Properties, i will explain bot of them.
Cmd.exe (console) Method.
Click on your start button and select "Run" from the Start Menu, type cmd.exe on the box and press enter.
Once the CMD its open write the next Text: set PATH=%PATH%;C:\android\android-sdk-windows\platform-tools
The text Write in Bold means your SDK Installation Directory, thats why i told you to Installa the sdk In C: Disk, just check that your Installation Directory is the same as mine or modify the line according to your needs.
My PC Properties Method.
Open My PC, and Right click on a blank space,
Select "Properties" from the just opened contextual menu,
On My PC Properties select the "Advanced Options" Tab
On the "Advanced Options" tab click on the "Environment Variables" button.
Now Mark the "Path" Variable and click the "Edit" Button.
At the end of the line add this text:
;C:\android\android-sdk-windows\platform-tools
Remember that The text Write in Bold means your SDK Installation Directory, thats why i told you to Install the SDK In C: Disk, just check that your Installation Directory is the same as mine or modify the line according to your needs.
Ok now you have completly installed the android SDK and the ADB (Android Debugging Bridge) and you can now do the final steps to Unlock or Get the Unlock Code for Your Samsung Galaxy Ace.
Ok now that you have Installed all the necessary programs:
Connect your SGA to your Computer via the included USB Cable. (the drivers should be installed by now, Kies installs them automaticaly)
Click on you start button and open the "Run" option, on Run type cmd.exe and press enter.
Now on Cmd.exe type the next text to acces the ADB Shell:
cd C:\android\android-sdk-windows\platform-tools
Remember that this means your Android SDK Installation directory, so if you get an error, check that the route is well writed and if you installed it in a diferent directory just modify the line so it fits to your needs, just remeber to pur - instead of spaces and \ (not / ) to indicate folders.
Image:
Now that you are in "C:\android\android-sdk-windows\platform-tools" type: adb shell
Image:
Now That you are in adb shell type the next command: su
At this point you have to give root premission to adb shell on you Phone
Image:
Ok now that adb shell has root premission and its inside you phone, type the next line:
cd /
Now be carefull and notice that there are spaces in the line and that we are using / instead of \
Image:
Ok now that you typed cd / type the next line: mount -o remount rw /
Image:
Ok Now type: mkdir /efs
Image:
And now type: mount -o nosuid,ro,nodev -t vfat /dev/block/stl5 /efs
Image:
And now type: cat /efs/mits/perso.txt
And you will get some strange characters on the screen and a 8 digit number, thats your unlock code, copy it in paper or in a Notepad file, but check it twice so you get the correct number, also the number provided is unique so dont try to use your number with other phones or use my number with yours.
Image:
Ok Now that you Have your Code just type: umount /efs
And disconnect your phone from your computer, turn off your Phone and insert a SIM from another company, it will ask for the Unlock Code, just type the code that you just get and you are done, your phone is now unlocked and without brick risk.
Image:
Now you can check that your cellphone is unlocked by typing the next code on your numeric keyboard, like if you where doing a call: *#7465625#
Image:
And thats it, its really easy, and its really safe if you read everything, and clear your doubts.
All the images are mine and i learned this from a friend of my, but its tested in 15 Samsung Galaxy Ace Phones an none get hurt XD,
Well thats it, remember to comment and ask as many times you need, im glad to answer all of your questions, se you later

I545 ALL-IN-ONE TOOL ROOT + RECOVERY INSTALLER
**READ READ READ AND READ AGAIN**
DO NOT RUN IF YOU ARE ON NEW ME7 OTA UPDATE!
This tool was created to simplify the rooting and recovery installation on this device. The rooting method used is the same method already posted in this development section. I just put all the resources into a tool and provided easy to follow instructions. The root process is not a one click. You must read instructions in tool window for each step of the rooting process. It is very straightforward and easy to follow, but you must follow the instructions exactly. Once rooting is complete all other steps are one click features including recovery installation.
Make sure you have latest samsung drivers installed. I recommend downloading Samsung Kies, It will automatically download latest drivers for you. Make sure unknown sources is checked and USB Debugging is enabled or the tool will not see your phone. Also make sure you do not have any pw or pattern lock screen enabled. As soon as you start step 1 check your phone screen. You will see a prompt to authorize your computer. Select ALWAYS ALLOW. This is the cause of the majority of errors. Also the usb cable that came with your s4 is recommended. If you are having issues with odin recognizing your phone check drivers and try using a different usb port. If using a desktop I recommend using the rear usb ports. Prep step (#2) removes install-recovery.sh and KNOXAgent.apk from your phone. These have been known to cause unwanted errors.
If when rebooting from recovery you are prompted with a message advising root may have been lost would you like recovery to fix it? I have always chosen NO and had no issues.
I do not offer support on either recovery or any rom you flash after this process. Check their respective threads for any and all information. Links to both recovery threads are included as options in tool.
I've included latest CWM (credit OUDHS & Shabbypenguin) and TWRP (credit Team Win). The rooting method and kernels used were provided by sextape. The step by step root process from open1your1eyes0. The motochopper exploit was created by the legendary djrbliss. Also a big thanks to djrbliss for Loki, without which none of this would be possible. Make sure to find these fine folks and give thanks, money, beer, your first born..... whatever you see fit.
I'd also like to thank niv3d, an21281, CraziiChief and all of my other testers. I'd also like to thank my wife and kids for leaving me alone while I worked on this. Mirrors are ok, just pm me the link to list in the OP.
Hope this makes someones life easier.... Have a nice day!!!!
Instructions:
Download zip file
Unzip on desktop
Connect phone with USB debugging enabled
Click RUN_ME (inside unzipped folder)
Pick option and go!!
Have patience it takes a few for cpu to see phone after reboots and in Odin
dont disconnect phone until process is complete
If stock start with option 1
If already rooted start with option 2 then choose recovery

I tested this utility a few hours ago and it works great! Just make sure to follow the directions and give it time to do every step, very easy!
Complete newb question here, and searching didn't turn up much.. Seeing as there is no Bootloader unlock yet, theoretically you should be able to just revert to stock and unroot and no one would know you were ever rooted/ROMd, right?
If I completely missed a post that explained this, sorry.. I searched and didn't see it.
Yep. Just Odin back to stock and you're done.

To unlock the Dev Options menu, go to Settings -> About Device and scroll down to the "Build Number." Now, tap on your "Build Number" five times, and you should see a toast notification pop up saying "Developer mode has been enabled." Back out of the About Device menu and you'll see Dev Options back where it belongs, so you can turn on USB Debugging and whatever else you want to.

It was a small thing in the top left corner of the screen, I could only see with the screen off. It looked like glue or a tiny hair under the glass. I was mostly just worried it was going to get worse over time. I didn't even notice it until I was putting a screen protector on (you know how impossible it is to get rid of all that dust). Free replacement through Verizon though because it's a defect.
Hi,
Before buying the new Z3, I was wondering if it was possible to root it? I didnt find any info on this on the net...
It runs the new android 4.2 jelly bean.
Thanks for your help guys
Hi, like you I'd like to know if this mobile could be rooted... ?
Anyone ?
---------- Post added at 09:22 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:11 PM ----------
I think it's posssible with SRSRoot
See : http://www.srsroot.com/supported and look for Acer Z130 (that the model name of the Z3)
Root done on my ACER Liquid Z3 with SRSRoot.
The more difficult was to install ADB driver for the phone on Win 7 64 bits.
I found a solution here : http://gizbeat.com/1273/pdanet-adb-auto-driver-for-windows/ (source XDA forums here : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=39247281)
Possibly yes.
Not sure. But probably it would have one as it's predecessor can be rooted. Even I would like to have an answer for this query by someone, expert in that.

Well I talked to fast, I have a problem because my apps don't recognize the phone is rooted.
I have the Superuser app in the list, no problem.
But when I launch Titanium Backup for example, it says it doesnt gave the root rights so it can't start.
Same with other apps...
I rooted the phone with SRS
Thanks for any kind help
Well even if I have SuperUser app in the list, I checked with "Root checker" and it says my phone is not rooted....
So now I have to uninstall superuser app( unroot?) and re-root the phone with another tool than SRS, probably with the one suggested kornjung

I managed to route my Acer Liquid Z3 on the second go. If you have used SRS and failed first unroot it using SRS so it thinks its not rooted.
Then select "Smart Root".
When prompted on your phone select "SuRoot" from the drop down list. Not the default.
Then select Bromir (which was the only option that I got on mine).
Using these I was successfully able to root the Z3 and then go in and delete all the crap like Facebook.apk, etc.
What I cannot figure out is how to take a damn screenshot!

Thanks mate, I've finally rooted it with MtkDroidTools_v248
Has anyone tried to overclock the cpu on this phone? Noticed any improvements?
does this work for the dual sim version, too?
and, in case, does this phone have a call filter/black list system embedded? so to block calls from specific people, or maybe block them only on one sim and not the other... or, having root thanks to the instructions in this thread, do call filter apps on playstore work? in general alternative dialers and call filter apps are very badly working on dual sim phones...
z3 duo rooted with framaroot 1.6.1... enabled usb debug ad per previous posts in this thread, and enabled unknown sources in settings, security... installed apk, opened, clicked boromir, rebooted and device rooted... no need to install driver or connect to pc AT ALL... as soon as reconnected to network, updated supersu via play store, and installed titanium... just integrated 14 updates in rom, i'm happy

Did you overclock the processor to 1.2Ghz to get that 9757 score in Antutu? Mine does not get any higher than 8834 on stock clock (1Ghz).

No. I have not over clocked. I just cleared all junk that starts up background processes, and ran Antutu on the default clock speed.

Acer Z130 Sound Quality and Loudness
Is there anyway to improve Z130's sound quality and loudness?
Despite being a device with DTS logo on it, it produces the worst audio I have ever experienced. (Both with DTS on and off.)
Is there any way to improve it?
Framaroot
I just rooted my Liquid Z3 with Framaroot last night. It works perfectly.. :good:
Greetings,
I have bought one cheep smartphone from china for my sister (the last two quite expensive smartphones stopped working after "diving and free falling course" . So I decied to buy for her some cheeper device. It is an Android and it looks like an samsung, but it is this phone http://www.antelife.com/htm-a9500-s...tft-screen-256mb-256mb-dual-camera-white.html .
After Avast installation a found in the system app which has root rights (It is not possible to uninstall it), which was marked as an Trojan ( Android: Agent-AXY [Trj] ). It is probably UI app, which imitate Samsung UI ( CooeeUI launcher (version iLoongS4vHD2.1.0.10.11138.130628 ).
I tried to root it using framaroot (On my phone framaroot was working well), but app displayed a notice with message "It is probably not possible to root this device with framaroot" or something like that and the app closed itself.
I found one other sw on this page (here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2403230&page=3 ), but I'm worry to try it after reading the last post because of malware infection risk (I really don't want to send somewhere to China IMEI and whatever else...).
Here I write some details about SW and HW of the phone:
Model: GT-A9500
Core version: GT-A9500 Quad-Core ( :fingers-crossed: )
Software version: MT6589-C920-EN-V08
Hardware version: C920-V1.02
Could I ask somebody for help? Is there any exploit for this phone or any other possibility to root it? I would need kick this china apps off this phone.
trojan removing
Is there any way to remove infected UI launcher without root rights?
I may be able to help you get it rooted. Search play store for SRT Appscanner and install it. Then run app and see if either bug listed says vulnerable.

Yes it is most likely possible then. Go here:

It is directions for rooting the Sero 7 Lite but the directions will work for your device. (Except for part in beginning about accepting any updates, you can ignore that part)

Trying Cydia Impactor
I successfully installed SnapPea and connected the phone to my computer with Win 7. Then I started Cydia Impactor - after selecting "drop ... SU" and pressing the start button I see "Testing #9950697". It is quite long time and nothing happend (about 10 mintes) How long should it take? Shall I wait more time?

Open a command prompt in the folder you have ADB.exe in and check to see if ADB is seeing your device. ( do this by opening the folder adb.exe is located in then press and hold shift key and right click on the white space at bottom of folder, then select "open command prompt here". Type:
adb devices
in to the black command prompt and hit enter, see if it shows a device listed under Devices attached.) It shouldnt take more than a minute to complete so I would say make sure USB debugging is on and make sure the PC can see the phone via adb since that is what Impactor uses to root the phone (like lost other root exploits too actually)
Also - you need to leave Snap pea window open for adb to work, I dont know why but even though it installs adb driver for you, you need to leave the snap pea window open or it wont see phone in adb.
Hope this helps!
USB debugging is checked and I leave Snap pea window open. If I try to close it, connection with the phone get lost and Cydia Impactor display an error message. If I leave the Snad pea open, C Impactor works, but after more than 10 minutes I see still only Testing #.... Is there some chance to root this chineese **** od should I use it as an hammer?

Impactor should work. I would say it is a connection issue. Did the device show up under devices attached when you ran adb devices command?
If you still have trouble getting it to work, you can try this method:

List of devices attached
19761202 device
This is output from cmd adb devices. It means, that the phone is connected? No other device is connected, so I expected, that the number 19761202 represents the phone I want to root. But the C Impactor still do nothing. I check HW manager in Win 7 and I see ADT drivers OK, but phone drivers looks strange, but Snap Pea is working. I don't understand...

Hello,
New to this forum as is shows it is my first post, and i have a problem with my Blackphone that i hope you guys could help me with it.
I have a Blackphone first generation with PrivatOS with some files on it and locked screen ( forgot the password / pin actually ),i didnt use the phone for a while since i had some problem downloading and purchasing some apps considering the lack of options compatible with the phone when it was first released and prior to opening the Silent Store.
I've tried several methods i found online such as :
Disable your lock screen using custom recovery and “Pattern Password Disable” (SD card needed)
but no success i get the error ( invalid arg ) when i try to flash the zip file on the SD card.
also i wanted to try this method : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2244741
but i am using a Macbook Pro OSX El Capitan 10.11.2
So i ma not sure how to go from here ?
Issue with file manager
Saw i've been trying several method to tackle this problem since i didnt get any reply from the 56 views so far, but i hope someone could explain how to get over this issue i am having trying to apply Method 4 or Method 5 at this post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2620456
I was able to download and install all the required applications, from Android SDK and JDK also adb not to forget Android file manager. But i have a problem with the file manager, since i forgot the pin and i am trying to recover some files from the phone it is frustrating to not be able to apply any of these methods because the file manager wont connect the device while it is locked.
Every time i try to type in the command ad devices in Terminal or adb shell i get a return error of device not found, and i guess its because the file manager is not allowing me to do that since the phone is locked.
Any idea how to get over this problem ?
The whole point of that phone is to prevent just what you are trying to do.
Indeed

Yes indeed i understand which is the dilemma am in, but that is the point of all phonee pin locks and there are methods to bypass them for most of the phones as i could see all over the internet, this one should not be any different i guess.
I even tried to use the password pattern disable file, but i guess when i flash the file from an SD card i guess some kind of error in the header, am assuming the header in the code of the file should be modified to the OS of this particular phone .
From what i could see the only issue here is the different OS on this phone.
Any suggestions ?

You would be amazed. This one and the black berry device. Both are meant to be uncrackable by default. I know one secure phone even prevents anything but charging over usb

I am so far, i really assumed that it is possible to so without the factory reset, but i guess that is the only option.
I still have couple of options that i could think of and maybe try,
1- Modify the Pattern Password Disable .zip in order for it to be compatible with Privat OS, easy to say hard to do, since i have no idea how to start tampering with these files and rewrite the coeds in it.
2- Trying to update the firmware on the phone with an SD card which will bypass the pinlock i guess, as i read in one of the posts on the blackphone support website, as a solution for faulty upgrade through the phone.
BTW i didnt try it, but i could see alot of posts for Blackberry to bypass this sort of problem, non for Black phone specifically
I appreciate your sweft reply and attention, hope you could come up with better ideas !?
Another attempt

So, i had to try using the pattern_password_disable.zip in order to see if it is good, and applying the same instruction here i was not able to unlock my Samsung Trend lite 2.
First i downloaded the file into an sdcard, the zip file and tried to flash the .zip from the recovery mood, but the phone did not find anyfiles on the SDcard, so i tried to apply updates from ADB, and when i wrote the comand as instructed on the phone
PHP:
" ad sideload +filename+ "
i got an error
E: footer is wrong
E: signature verification failed
then the phone tried to open it again and i got the same erorr
after that the phone rebooted into the home screen with the pattern lock, i've tried several random guesses but it didnt unlock. ( i know the right one for this phone ).
And since i realized that my mac got connected to the devices while it was in the recovery mood, and i confirmed that by typing adb devices in terminal and the device showed up, i thought of trying the same with the BlackPhone
but i also got the same error
as shown in the picture.

PHP:

rm *.key
but when i type adb shell
i get the error, closed
so any idea on what is going on, i just want to understand my mistake here since these instructions should work on the Samsung !?
