why are there no download links to root RAZR?
Hmmm.... I think they're working
http://downloadandroidrom.com/file/DroidRazr/rooting/motofail_windows.zip
Dunno what links were you trying....
This is from here:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1342567
Cheers
thanks, but i meant like in general, when I rooted my phone earlier there was a sticky noob guide how to root and the one's I have found are for Supersu and I'm used to Superuser. What are the differences?
Thread I'm referring to:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1707431
Supersu is developed by chain fire, superuser is developed by chainsdd
Diferences? UI mainly, I find supersu more eye-appealing, however it depends to the user...
Also there are other features by both, but are not that common...

Hi
I have been reading and studying the "[GUIDE] And then there was ROOT !" in the Development forum and would like a few questions answering regarding the apps that need to be installed to gain root access.
Can someone please tell me which version of the following items are needed:
Titanium Backup PRO or Titanium Backup * Root
BusyBox or BusyBox - Donate or Busybox Installer or Busybox Installer Pro
If more thna one version is acceptable the pros/cons of each would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
To add on this, what's required on the phone to root? Is the newest firmware rootable? battery fully charged? is it rootable out of the box?
I read the guide too but wanted to make sure I have taken all the precautions necessary to root.
I just connected to KIES last night and having major issues trying to upgrade which is kind of putting me off rooting until I get a real clue

TB Root is the basic - free version
TB Pro is the paid donation type function (well worth it)

If you follow the tutorial for rooting and use superoneclick it will install Busybox for you, so no need to worry here.
The newest firmware is indeed rootable, you just flash the old firmware (in the guide) run superoneclick then flash the latest firmware (available in the first post of its thread)
it's really very easy.
It's easier than getting Kies to update the damn phone, honestly.
Hi all,
New to all this. Have performed a root using the instructions here. Thanks lyriquidperfection
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1125414
Seemed to work ok, just installed first insecure kernal on the list without matching to my kernal, it installed Superuser but not Busybox, so installed that from the market.
The reason I wanted to root it apart from 4.0.4(needs to be rooted?) coming soon was in the hope I could get shot of some of the locked apps Samsung and Google installed on it. Busybox looks to me that you need to know what you are doing to use it. So the question is is there anything simple I can use to get rid of the locked apps that I don't want?

check the link below for the same ma8
Spread Sheet of removable APPS
ps- read carefully the same to understand the apps importance and then remove it if its safe
Thanks Sun, that will help greatly
Wonder why they make it so complicated, most of the pre-installed stuff is a lot of tosh, then again so is the Market stuff
Hi. Not sure if this is the right section to post my question and I hope someone can help. I have the 3g flyer with Globatron's stock honeycomb. I also run my backup pro. I just noticed that my backup pro is complaining that my busybox is outdated. How do I go about updating my busybox? Can I just use one of the busybox installers available on the market? I really don't want to brick my device, so any help would be most appreciated.

Definitely the wrong section. Questions belong in Q&A. Report your thread so the mods can move, then I'll give you an answer.

Well, you didn't report the thread to get it moved, so I did that for you.
To answer your question, just use one of the Busybox installers on the Play Market to update Busybox. The one by Stephen Stericson is the most popular, but the JRummy one works as well. I've used both on the Flyer.
Its pretty normal that things like Busyboc and SuperUser (or SuperSU) included on custom ROMs get outdated, as they often are updated more frequently then the ROMs (especially at this point for the Flyer). Keep them both updated, for the smoothest operation of your device.

Why is BusyBox needed, anyway? Does it help the device to handle the RAM or something like that? Is it really necessary to have it on an Android device?

Not an expert, but some apps need Busybox to work. Titanium is a big one.
In the Market description for the Stericson Busybox installer: Almost EVERY rooted applications needs BusyBox to perform their magic, if you have a rooted phone then you need BusyBox.
Running MI1, rooted. Is that the latest build for the S4? If not, is there a link to the latest stock to Odin.
Thanks.
Latest is MJ7. There's links in the General Forum section. And the only way to root as of now is with vroot (Google), it's a Chinese websites method. There are a couple threads about swapping out the superuser app after gaining root. There is no method to add ROMs yet for it.

The safest and easiest method I have found is Chainfire Zip file. Go to the ANDROID DEVELOPMENT forum and you will find the thread. Look for the link to Chainfire's website and look for the CWM or TWRP flashable zip. The latest version is 1.94, download it, go into recovery and flash. As simple as that.I hope this helps you.

I rooted my friends Karbonn phone with Framaroot. He had Karbonn phone Titanium S5
Framaroot is for JB Devices.
Here is link to XDA Page.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2130276
Compatible devices are given in that page. Check your device and required Root Exploit.
It is working for many people.
However there is a constant risk. So do it at your own responsibility.

Above solution is useless, because to use SuperSU, you need root first.
SuperSU does not root your phone. After rooting, it gives root access to apps.
I suggest you first to root your phone, then install SuperSU from above link.
Try Framaroot for rooting.
@Benelshaddai
Your solutions will not work. First root is required, then SuperSU is required for monitoring app root access.
In technical words,
First "su" binary (i.e. root) should be installed, then SuperSU (i.e. root access manager app) should be installed.

You are correct this is just the supersu app.Without a rooted phone its just useless app.
Well thnxx but it was my friends phone and he has already rooted it by binary tool.
