Should i root XTZ or not?
I search few threads with rooting XTZ but seems every method has some issues, for example rebooting after mounting system / deleting app...

ask yourself a question, WHY should i root my XTZ...???
some of us want to root their devices but in reality they are not using the privilege of being rooted. it makes no sense.
rooting is safe provided you know how to backup and restore your firmware if anything goes wrong during/after the process.
and if you are rooted be careful with the app and files inside the /system. and be careful with the apps (for rooted devices that requires rooted devices) you'll installed.

I need a root but if it makes device buggy and not working properly then i rather just don't do it. Im asking cause i've seen a lot of issues in threads with rooting methods.

I don't know if the issue appears on every method of rooting and every stock rom but it definitely appeared for me, stock US wifi version 32 GB
Here is the solution to solve the rebooting when remounting issue: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=42914126&postcount=23
After I applied this fix, root access works perfectly for me, and I even used Vodoo OTA Rootkeeper and my root survived the upgrade!
Good luck!

I dont know why all these comments leave you on the road to ruin... Cause not once did I see any one ask what model you have or what your current version of android you are running on it.
I have the US version SGP312 32GB WiFi only version build 10.3.1.C.0.136... (Android version 4.2.2) rooted and working fine with no hiccups.
Keep in mind I did update it first from the box.
Here is the link if you need it:
forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2428830
For the record, I can confirm that my NFC works just fine after root. Just beamed a few videos from my phone to the tablet without a even a hiccup.
(FYI the NFC chip is located right under the Xperia logo on the back)

the first step is to make a cwm recovery work and had no luck but since I'm not an expert in programming
but getting cwm may compile a rom for testing
q I am trying now is to get the recovery that brings the tablet and have someone help me to place you modify the backup and restore options

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.

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...

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 have never rooted my phone before, and I'm not "techy" at all. I have searched far and wide, and everyone who has rooted theirs AFTER the 4.5.145 update had previously rooted their phone.
I would like to find a pre-install method, I don't want to wipe anything off my phone. I just want to gain access.
I have been having the wifi/bluetooth problem that seems to be common with this update. I also get random reboots. If anyone knows how to fix this, please let me know. I've heard I have to flash it to 4.5.141 after I root it? I don't know. I'm completely lost!
The preinstall method works with all firmware versions.

Hey guys, I know this isn't the PadFone S section. But As XDA don't currents have an "S" specific section and the handsets are pretty much he same i thought i would put this here. So i wanted Root on my "S" and after reading the thread i thought "Im pretty sure it will work" So i jumped on in at the deep end with my 2Hours old PadFone "S" hoping for the best. And.............TowelRoot V1 i can confirm works with the Padfone S also. I Haven't seen any one else post about the PadFone S Root and im sure people will inevitably want to do it when more and more people get their and on it but will likely be apprehensive due to there not being much out for the S yet. Hope it helps some one.

ASUS PADFONE S (X?)
They keep saying online that that X and S are the exact same? Well, I have the S with dock/tablet and I beg to differ. Please excuse this, not trying to hijack this thread. There are just so few of us. atm.
So far:
ROOT: TOWELROOT TR1 works perfectly on PadFone X and S Best to have SUPERSU, BUSYBOX, & ROOT CHECKER installed before rooting for ease of use after root.
TWRP Installs easily. Use this adb shell script for ASUS PadFone S only!:
Code:
adb shell "curl 'http://datbak.com/links/padfone_s/asus_t00n_twrp_2_7_1_1.img'>/sdcard/recovery.img; su -c 'dd if=/sdcard/recovery.img of=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/recovery' bs=4096; sync; reboot recovery;"
Run> Allow SU> Reboots as normal> ASUS boot screen> black screen (TWRP is running but has the 'blackscreen bug')>wait 60 seconds>hit start button>TWRP appears> at TWRP settings reset timeout to 30 seconds or less (if you like.) We are waiting for the TWRP 2.8 update for these units, yes, it is in the works. The X version of TWRP (this thread) did not work for me on S.
XPOSED installs normally on S. Many features in Gravity Box etc. do not function perfectly because of the ASUS overlay. Lots of modules do work though. Please test for yourself. No issues so far with OS or root as of yet.
CHROMECAST MIRROR ENABLER v6 XDA LINK CHROMECAST MIRROR ENABLER works great on S.
X users please check to see if xposed and mirror enabler work for you too. :good:
BTW: ES File Manager writes to an exFAT 64GB microSD card after root and enabling the root tool. It's super fast and it's awesome! (Nexus 5 , iPhone 6, etc? Eat my dust.)
The more I use this phone, the more I like it!

Most recent link (on that thread, which I downloaded) to towelrootv1 is here - http://forum.xda-developers.com/mad-catz-mojo/development/root-mojo-towelroot-one-click-t2799712
And the main reason I wanted root on this nice device is GMD Gesture Control!
I was worried about how it would handle the switching displays, so I've just been trying things out. We need to override the multitouch device detection to 'asus_dds_sis_touch', then it works (only in tablet mode). So I have gestures in tablet mode, but not in phone mode (where they're less useful in my opinion). Will report in the GMD thread and ask the author what can be done. For example, running free GMD for phone mode?

What's wrong based on the quote? Yes it will work. Until the padfone S gets the L update (has not happened yet), in which case you'd need KIngroot instead (I think, have not bothered to update myself).

By update do you mean an upgrade to lolipop?

These just make it sound like it's not fully functional and has problems? As I said, I'm not very techy with these things but just this would make me afraid to use it, is there any need for concern? Is the L update on its way and will it still be possible to root again after upgrading?

Root is not the same as TWRP nor Xposed.
If you're not very 'techy' (whatever that means) why do you want to root the phone in the first place? There's almost no reason to nowadays except for those with very specific requirements. And if you're not sure what TWRP and XPOSED are then you probably aren't in that group (no offense).

No offence taken I've rooted a few phones, but I've never done it myself, I've always paid someone to do it (just some tech guy I know and he's cheap but very good). Main reason I want the padfone rooted is to be able to use adblock and to get rid of the bloatware. The padfone is for my mam and she's a complete technophobe so I want as little unnecessary apps as possible on it and maybe to replace stock apps with other apps that might be easier to use for her..
So does anyone reckon rooting would be worth it for the above or am I best just to leave it be and not mess with it for fear of running into problems down the line?

I temp rooted mine with dirty cow, however it gained me very little. There are three main obstacles: 1) SELinux prevents most things from working, because each program runs within a tight security context, 2) using dirty cow causes the kernel to not save changes to the partition (it doesn't want to write a corrupted partition to disk), in other words a r/w /system is useless, even when you can finally write to it, 3) using dirty cow on the most attractive programs (from a permissions perspective) causes "little" problems like the screen going off.
I've been monitoring another XDA thread (sorry, link is at home) where they are working through these issues on another device. There are various approaches and workarounds, but they currently all involve way more risk than I can justify for a $500 phone.
AIUI, once you've got root, you need to be able to put selinux into permissive mode, but surely getting temp root is a start?
Can you not install systemless root?
If I got the dates right, the phone kernel should be affected by this bug. A proof of concept seemed to be promised by the reporter in the next few days. http://seclists.org/oss-sec/2016/q4/607
Will be interesting to see how it compares to dirty cow as far as access.

Please note that the phone is 64-bit. This is source code that requires compilation and additional code to do anything useful. Prerequisites include the NDK and related build tools installed via Android Studio. I run Linux so it was relatively painless, but I imagine it might be more of a challenge under Windows.

thanks, I tried that out of curiosity on my phone and it worked (Lollipop, stock Sony Xperia Z Ultra ROM).
--edit-- It appears to give me a root shell, but it doesn't execute anything if I hit return, just hangs. but still, it proves my kernel is vulnerable ;-(
deleted. had a total brain fade and made this post in the wrong forum, sorry.

Is there someone with an AZf3U willing to trust me and try the dirtycow exploit?
I've uploaded the dirtycow exploit which I built using the Android Studio NDK to
http://www.zaurus.org.uk/download/CV...5195.built.tgz
there's two builds, one for for 32 and the other for 64 bit android
unpack and run on a linux box connected to the phone over ADB
the instructions on how to use it are here:

Hi. I know this thread is about the Lenovo Phab2 Pro and I have the Lenovo Phab2 but maybe someone can help me. I tried what was suggested on this thread https://forum.xda-developers.com/phab-2/how-to/how-to-root-phab-2-pb2-650y-t3524305 But it seems I screwed up and now the phone gets stuck in the Lenovo sign. I'd really appreciate some help since I just bought this phone 2 days ago and now I can't use it. I can access TWRP but it seems there's nothing in /system. I think maybe that's the problem. I'm no expert but since I had rooted and downgraded and upgraded firmware several times on my previous phone, a LG G3. I thought maybe I could do this. I shouldn't have If someone can help me I'd really appreciate. Thanks in advance.
I was able to fix this. Sorry to have bothered.
Hi,
I've been able to get proper root access on this phone. One new problem I am facing is that the tango camera and sensors doesn't seem to work. Normal camera works just fine.
Is this related to the rooting or can it be anything else entirely?
Edit: Never mind. I was able to fix it without having to remove the root. Apparently 'Tango Core' didn't have permissions to access camera. I am not sure how that got reset. So I gave access to it and now it works just fine.
