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!

But there is no other tmobile RUU available, or at least I can't find it. The 1.76 one?

I went to Verizon today and they gave me a replacement because my speaker sounded blown.
My questions is, how do I get root again? The stable stock rooted kernel has been pulled.
Wasn't it needed for adb to work?

Do not take this as me being condescending cause I know it will come off that way. If that was the case then how would we have achieved root to begin with? All that the stock rooted kernel allowed was root privileges through adb (among other things). Just follow the new guide for rooting/unlocking. Works just fine.

I gotcha! Thanks and sorry for jumping the gun! The last time I looked at the "All in one" or "Toolkit" methods they did not work, thought its been a while.
Thanks again!

no problem. Better safe than sorry, eh? I never used AIO lol. Just remember that you're going to have to do the new stuff that can brick your phone before you can unlock.
Is there currently any way to gain root access on JB for 672.180.41.XT910.Retail.en.EU?
If not, is anyone known to be working on it?

I would also be very grateful!!
I unrooted because I was afraid that it would conflict with OTA (before the upgrade instructions were published).:crying:

I have tried a lot of root tool, but it still doesnt work. So all we have to do is wait for the developers to make a it
Hit the 'thanks' button if it helps
I just updated to EU retail and I'm in the same situation. None root tool worked
For XT910 devices there is currently no way to get root. It is only possible for XT912 devices.
To gain root access during JB update you should have protect root with Voodoo OTA Rootkeeper. That works.

That would have worked. We know that ...
Those who did not protect root, just hope that someone can help to gain root again.

Well. I've updated from nonEFIGSRetail.en.EU to Retail.en.EU using http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2194825. Root did not survive this.
Maybe there is some more root user friendly process, but it is not easy to find the correct one.

Damn! Now I can't restore all my apps and data using Titanium Backup. I did try the method from here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1710871
...and it did say success, but during the process it came up with "system/bin/sh su not found" and TB says it has no root access. It worked when I was on ICS, but now I am on JB 4.1.2 System Version 982.124.14.XT910.Retail.en.AU. Anybody with bright ideas on how to gain root access again would be much appreciated!
?
I'm on JB with my XT910 and it's rooted, in fact I used the method from the Eternity project (it's the easiest way from my viewpoint)...

....this doesn't help any of us who are already on JB and need root as there is no way back to ICS!

Actually, there is a way, but only if you aren't on the JB bootloader. When I wrote my comment, I thought, you just have to flash again (also with JB bootloader). In the meantime, I learned that it seems to be prevented to switch to a lower version.
Sorry for any confusion...

Thx for the hint. I (personally) don't need root, but it would be interesting to read. I'm on Gentoo, so should be ok. Could you post the link? I know, I'm lazy
Found it The exploit is an ELF, but it should be possible (in principle) to create a Windows binary also, shouldn't it?

anyone can do it they just need a live cd and its just a case of simple copy n paste in terminal and follow the instructions and they are done. they could even use a usb stick with say ubuntu installed on it.
i did this with a live cd on my laptop to see if it worked and it did, my main pc is ubuntu anyway but a friend was too scared to try it on his laptop with live cd so i did it to show him and he rooted his very quickly
Has anyone figured a way to root the Alcatel One Touch Pop Icon? I'm really in need of a solution for this, as my memory is running out very quick. It only comes with 2gb (Which is ridiculous). If anyone knows of a solution, please respond with the program and process to go about rooting this phone. Thanks!

Framaroot, SuperOneClick, and some Chinese program that people said worked, but of course didn't. Right now I'm trying Kingo root.
*Edit: Kringo Root doesn't work

I would recommend trying Towelroot, you may have to change the mod strings to get it work on your device but it should work. Let me know if your still having any problems or have any questions.

Just found a post from about a month ago that TowelRoot doesn't work.

Any other ideas?
Can anyone help? D:
This is a brand new phone offered by Tracfone. I would also like to be able to root mine, but haven't been able to find a way.
I am new to Android rooting and such, and cant seem to find anything on this phone, how would one root this phone, and then go about installing CM12? Please give me a good answer with a non impossible guide to follow, Thanks!
