[Q] Root method - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi guys,
I am planning to buy htc Desire V/VC or Motorola Defy XT.Since there is no thread about them yet, my question is:
Are the root method for them same as another Device? ( I am using HTC Sensation & rooted ) if not,Can someone explain me the step process to root them ?
Thanks,
Ronald

I have no idea but I'd just try super one click because it has gingerbreak and zergrush and maybe others and it autodetects what to use (and I like run-on sentences)
super one click is pretty self explainatory and there are guides if you can't figure it out
but since you've rooted before you should definitely get it no problem (usb debugging on and follow instructions after clicking root or whatever)
edit: you don't have either now...
hmm... to google..?
edit2: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=803682 it should work on just about anything even NAND locked (although it's only a shell root)

Patched 1.5 Hero Firmware

Ok so today i was about to sit down and root
after trying to use the flash recovery method it seems my Hero is patched
my Q is ....
am i still able to root this badboy using other methods and if so, can someone post a decent guide or good tutorial to do so
Many Thanks
no takers then? any help would be appreciated
i don't get your question, you have rooted your phone and now you want to know how?
anyway, there is more than enough information on this, you just gotta read it!
No, he is saying that the firmware he is using is patched so the normal way to root the phone doesn't work, in other words, the exploit used to get root access was patched. He wants to know if there are any other ways to root it.
I'm new to Android, but I do believe there is an older firmware version or something along the lines of that that allows you to open a terminal and root it from there.

thanks for re-explaining that for me, maybe i wasnt clear enough
but again i do thank you .... i guess ill just see how this thread goes
yeah it seems its patched and normal method will not work .... not too hot on ADB and thats why i was asking
cheers
the version of your rom could help
check modaco, there is a thread explaining some "gold card" stuff. i think that is the hardcore method if everything else fails. never looked at it though, got lucky with my hero and got an older rom
Yea I'm having this problem too...
I had a rooted Hero but then 'foolishly' installed the update to fix lag, and therefore losing my root.
I have even created a goldcard on my SD card and still the 'One Click Root' doesn't work...
Any other methods?

If you've got the goldcard, you need to downgrade your ROM before you can root.

Oh I forgot to mention I did that... installed the 2.73? I think t-mobile uk original RUU and it still didn't work.
If you installed T-Mobiles 2.73, you've just reinstalled a ROM that can't be exploited!

<CALL FOR STICKY>painless root for x10 in 5 seconds (TESTED ON MY X10i)

The name of the apk is Universal Androot
To root, simply install the apk and press the root button
Apk: http://bit.ly/aa4jxJ
Source:http://blog.23corner.com/2010/08/04/夏日-android-小品-按一下-root-手機-universalandroot/
Woot and your x 10 is rooted
Use at your own risk
can anyone confirm thnis.. this looks damn esy
yup, it works ! ^^ , tks anyway!
i already rooted my x10A to the 23 rom, which version does this root ur X10 to? and btw anyone tested this on the X10A?
let me know!
thanks
Will it work for x10a???
Could this be the holy-grail (from a user standpoint at least) of rooting? I'd love to hear comments on it's success (I'm already running 026 rooted, otherwise I'd try it).
As much as I appreciate all the work the X10 root devs have put into getting root on this phone and providing a solution for we lowly masse: I'd love a single-step solution. Seeing solutions for other phones like the one-touch root for the Galaxy S and jailbreakme.com do make me a bit jealous.
I am on rooted 026 too, otherwise will have a try.
Anyway, if it is true, that would be great for it is easier to do. Could any dev check and see if this way has any inspiration to your work.

From a quick glance at it I'd say it's the X10 mini exploit packaged and automated into an apk. Since the exploit appears to be a generic userland exploit it would explain how it works on so many devices.
Is there a way to unroot?

The apk has a unroot button too so that you can reverse the rooting process before you return your device to se for whatever reasons
i was so excited that i reflashed and rerooted with this.
works a charm. fantastic!!!
the superuser is not working. whats the fix?
mine works perfectly with superuser privilege
i used another one from the other thread "X10Root" and it works perfectly. rooted after clean update via seus. now on R2BA026. it includes superuser.apk. i think this one doesnt.
tested, and proved to work perfectly. really convenient.
There is one big problem with this root method, I can't get ADB to work. Operations are not permitted :/
Right heres a really stupid question--Will this work with the Apps Installer app or no I need the SDK from Android.Im totally new to Android and just picked up an X10i.This root seems to be the easiest so far--Stuck on Vodafone Ireland @ Rf014 (I think) so I need to root and upgrade to a later version.
I'm scared to trying this should i give a shot?
works fantastically on my 26
its the apk built from xperia mini root method
it works well with xperia too

Just wondering if I should keep trying to root these devices as I attempted SuperOneClick & Universal Androot and they both didnt work....
SuperOne Click doesnt pass ADB server stage and Universal Androot says "Sorry cannot root this device????
Any help is appreciated...

If you are brave enough (willing to continue), then do so. Different devices may require different methods of rooting (so you'll just have to see which one works for you).
Thanks ,
Its just I'm a bit new to the android scene and hesitant about trying too many things with them...
Dont want any expensive paper weights....lol
Ok have tried all 4 options above and none look to be working...
Are they guaranteed to work???

Don't do anything you don't feel comfortable with. Make sure you read first and know exactly what you are doing (including all the risks).

No. It just depends on your device (and firmware version). These are just the most common ways which don't have to be device specific (only one device can use that method).

[Q] Rooting ZTE Majesty

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.

[ROOT] For stock LG G Pad 8.3

What is it?
A simple automated root script for Windows users.
This uses the general root method used on most LG devices as of recent.
Batch file is influenced by thecubed​
How do I use it?
First, if you're on Windows then you'll need the LG USB drivers: http://goo.gl/PfEgTg
From there, simply run root.bat then just follow the prompts.
Linux and Mac users should read root.bat and run the same commands on their systems.​
Where to get it?
Mirror 1: http://goo.im/devs/dalingrin/GPad//root_gpad.zip
Mirror 2: http://d-h.st/v1A
md5: ca7fd85b71cc56334348b19d39d0a275​
Warnings
Could void your warranty. Probably not a good idea to try to get your tablet serviced with this installed. It would be best to flash back to a stock configuration.​
Where can I get help?
I can't possibly help everyone so I hope fellow users can help you in this thread.
Please do not flood me with PMs. I have a difficult enough time keeping up with all the messages and such that I get :angel:​
Social media crap

Thank you!

Hi
You can always install "lgMobile Support Tool", from LG and do an "Upgrade Recovery", on the menu.. it removes root and flashes the latest firmware..
Hi madscout,
also works by performing an upgrade to the same version already installed?
you mentioned this ?

Ok, I had seen a different name of the EXE and I had not yet opened, the procedure is that in any case, very good.
If @dalingrin has a faster procedure to remove his Root...is better, in any case I understand the guidance and tools.

edit: i'm really noob with LG, with samsung (n7000) is totally different.
