Hey,

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2393444
I wanted to root my Tablet again and I tried it with the flashtool but it didnt work. It is still not rooted.
I tried it with DoomLords root kit too and the recovery root thing but it didnt work either.
So what can I do to root it? Can u please send what I have to download and say what I have to do?
Thank you for your help

as far as i know.. 4.2.2 doesnt have a rooting method yet :cyclops:
Blame yourself if you make an update without properly getting information about possible problems first. Sorry.
Just got my 4.2.2 rooted by downgrading To .307, rooting as usual with DoomLord's root kit, and updated over the air To .244

Can i do a downgrade to .307 without loosing data? my tablet comes preinstalled with the newest fw...
In theory, you can flash only SYSTEM, kernel, FOTA, and such things...
From my experience, it's beter to do a fresh flash, follow the root-OTA method, and voilã!!! .244 rooted and running

Just a heads up, I downgraded and boot looped until I was able to get back to flash mode and actually wipe data. I'd say be sure to make a good backup, but I had a CWM Nandroid made with Online Nandroid and I cannot get the /data partition to restore. I will have to look into this later tonight, as I am off to work soon... I do have backups with Titanium Backup, but that is my last resort...

Granted but there is very little written about flashtool and using the PC Companion in the XTZ forums. The best way for a newbie to become an oldie is as Cat said, I'm all for reading and researching but for some of us the easiest way to learn is to jump in and get our hands dirty. And when nothing is posted specifically for our device about flashtool how is a newbie supposed to learn without asking questions or jumping in and doing it?

To have a rooted 4.2.2 for SGP 321, this is what I had done
1) downgraded to .307 using flashtool.
2) Root .307 using DoomLord toolkit v17.
3) Change SuperSU to system app
[can be done directly in SuperSU setting]
4) Update back to .244 via OTA
Important: To ensure that SuperSU is a system app, go into settings of SuperSU and check under System, the option should be greyed out and mention that SuperSU is already a system app. Many users reported had to do this several times before finally succeed. Expected some reboot.
You may refer to the link over here for more details

I realize that is how to keep your root when updating via OTA to 4.2.2, what I was talking about is if you are on 4.2.2 without root could one of the other Xperia root methods work for that without having to go back to 4.1.2.

I recently installed the ICS leak from Rogers on my Motorola RAZR XT910. After it finished installing, I attempted to remove root, which to my knowledge, I *half* succeeded in. BusyBox and Superuser are still present on the device, although no root apps are able to obtain SU permissions. I would like to know how to remove the whole root. Normally I wouldn't have any trouble, but unrooting (which I did before on Gingerbread) seems to not be going so well on ICS :/
A quick response is appreciated
Root again with my tool run SuperSU and press Full Unroot
It'll unroot and remove all root stuff.

Hello Pedro!
Bro Im sorry, km not sure to understand when u say "root again with my tool...". Which tool? I try to look on ur profile but didnt notice anything linked to a "tool". I looked on... anyway I found nothing. Can u give more details?
@dral29, I think when Pedro is saying about his tool, hi is refering to this topic:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1710871
Pedro, I've one XT910 which I've bought on China and it came with the Middle East version. I succeedec doing a root on it, but I didn't find a way to make a backup of my Stock ROM.
The root I've done is with a software named "Superuser v.3.0.7 (41)", which full version is on the Play Store (https://play.google.com/store/apps/....elite&feature=nav_result#?t=W251bGwsMSwyLDNd)
The root is working properly, bur I'd like to have a backupt of my Stock ROM just to try another ROMs. Also, using SafeStrap to change ROMs.
Anychance for me to unsintall this SU and install yours?
---------- Post added at 10:57 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:38 PM ----------
Just to summarize, there`s a wayf for me to get my phone in the exactly same way as it was when I bought? Actually, it had a GB then I`ve received OTA ICS. I tried to make a factory reset, but didn`t work. I`ll appreciate if exists a tutorial.
I got it. I`ve made the unroot with another app and then, re-rooted with your app, now all works fine.
Regarding the safestrap, is it the best way to manage different ROM`s?

Rise can be Rooted
The Kyocera Rise can be rooted. Rise v4.0.3 is much is eaiser to root version v4.0.4. It seems in version 4.0.4 they locked the bootloader. This update is provided by OTA from Kyocera. Version 4.0.4 can be rooted but from information I found online, it seems some root procedures work for some v4.0.4 but not all.
For now the only thing you can do for customizing the rom is to use "PimpMyRom" app from google play. I suggest NOT to install "beats audio" from the app. The drivers cause you to lose all your sound. I hope this bit of info helps.

When you need repair or anything, you have to use Triangle Away to reset binary count and set it official status. So technically, rooting does void warranty but it can be reset.

Thanks a lot! I'm going to give it a try right now.
By the way, if i do manage to root, would I be able to do the official Jelly Bean update once it comes out?
EDIT: The rooting process does seem simple enough, the ''THIS IS A DANGEROUS OPERATION AND COULD POTENTIALLY BRICK YOUR DEVICE. PROCEED AT YOUR OWN RISK. A USB JIG IS PREFERRED IF YOU HAVE A WORKING ONE.'' on the Triangle Away page has me concerned though.
I'm surprised that nobody is never talking about this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1703488.
Worked like a charm in a few minutes, nothing to care about, installs drivers, no need to download Odin, and you're rooted and recovery installed.
A must in my opinion.
What are the differences between installing that and installing CF?
I used the toolkit. Complete root newbie 3 days ago, I now have ROM Omega v28 running Jellybean 4.1.1 flashed siyah kernel, switched my sd card with my 32gb ext card so now I have much more space for storing apps and games and over clocked device to make it run faser
Flashed a fair few mods so my s3 looks ace and performs like a dream
Root using the toolkit 5.0 as in the post above it only took about 5 mums and that was only because I was really slow and cautious.

Would i be able to install Cyanogen mod if i root it with toolkit?
Yes you would. The method you use to root is just that, a method to give you the super user access you need to do all the weird and wonderful things you can do with a rooted device.
Once rooted, using the toolkit will install clockwork mod recovery on your device and you would use this to flash the ROM of your choosing. It takes just a minute or so to flash the ROM too, I was surprised and pleasantly so at how quick and easy it all was.

Argghh, is there any full guide on how to root, install jelly bean then flash the cyanogen mod?
I used the following you tube guide.
Just don't worry about the toolkit versions being different its just been updated since then
It literally takes minutes..
Watch the video a few times over like I did though.. And the toolkit tells you what to do next.. It's all very clear.
Once done, install root checker and it will confirm if you are rooted
With the ROM I don't think you need to install JB, the ROM should be ICS or JB and come included with the ROM
I was determined to go with CyagenMod but I went for Omega.. So glad I did...

I updated to 4.2.2 thinking newer should be better and now i am stuck with the stupid phone UI. Who would make such an.upgrade. That's ridiculous!

Flash another 4.1.2 FTF (wiping everything) and there it is. Back to 4.1.2!

It'll be safe only if you do the relevant preparations before hand like installing the correct version of flashtool (v0.9.11.0) along with the correct device drivers for the SXTZ. It's best you do a clean downgrade, i.e. wipe data and cache because otherwise, you'll risk a boot loop. Also, make sure the charge on your battery is at 50% or above before you try the procedure.
Handy links...
The US 4.1.2 ftf is here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2327362
and the flashtool is here: http://www.flashtool.net/download.html
A good guide is here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2240614
If at all important to you, I can also confirm that downgrading to 4.1.2, rooting, setting superuser as a system app, and then upgrading to 4.2.2 OTA will preserve root.
Hope this helped you and good luck :good:

Well it says it will allow you to install a apk that gives access to reset/restore. I thought maybe that's exploitable to gain root somehow..
Try to wipe all the contents from recovery then flash the exact firmware of KitKat may be it will work.
find correct firmware for your network and then flash.
backup all your data.

I'm on 5.0.1 OF1 locked verizon s4. My phone is completely blank as of now. I am willing to give anything a try to gain root in hopes of getting a custom rom installed. Any idea what steps i should take to try this. Since this is a new exploit, I have a feeling this will be used in a new root or unlock method. Its just a matter of waiting for someone to come up with something to use this method.

Tried that, you need root to do this. I can't get root in OF1. But the new exploit that is for all samsung devices including OF1 bootloader is here: http://www.redmondpie.com/android-factory-reset-protection-can-be-bypassed-on-samsung-phones-video/
However no one that I know of has developed a root method using this exploit. Gaining access and being able to install a apk that gives access to reset/restore maybe we can use that to install a custom recovery. I really don't know if its possible to get root from this but maybe, so i'm hoping there is a way.

Even if you don't have nandroid backup just find a phone similar to you that has any root access and take nandroid backup image of that phone then flash that image to your phone now you can gain root access,but you have to restore your phone once you do this.

I don't have a backup. So If I can get a backup of someone with root your saying this exploit will allow me to install it? How would I do that? with odin or just off the SD card?
Who downgrade done?
If you get such type of nandroid backup then open with the android kitchen then extract that image then recompile that image to odin flashable format,may be it will work 50% chance is there.
Not to thread jack but I'm wondering the same thing except I'm rooted on oc1 using muniz's deodexed oc1 rom and running xposed framework. But is it possible for me to flash an oc1 rom with nk4 bootloader using my flashfire app since I'm rooted over my current rom? So I can then downgrade to 4.4.2 nk4 ? Or I am totally screwed since I believe his stock rooted deodexed rom came with official lollipop bootloader?
Edit* I love lollipop, the memory leak is fixed with xposed but my major gripe is the battery life over kitkat sucks
