[UPDATED::4-30-2013]
I got it rooted by using HTC Quick Root.
I am so aggravated. I have tried rooting my rhyme and I just can't figure out how do it. I have rooted my tablet, my hubby's samsung stratosphere, jail broke a couple iPod, so I'm sorta familiar with the whole process. I unlocked the bootloader already. I have tried multiple ways & no luck. I'm sure I'm just missing some step. I'm just fed up with it & don't even want to fool with it anymore. But I want my phone rooted so I can get rid of all this Verizon nonsense I don't need since I flashed my phone to Pageplus. Can someone PLEASE help me? I will pay you to do it if you can remotely.

Have you tried the steps in 1st post here: http://androidforums.com/rhyme-all-things-root/594445-htc-rhyme-new-root-method.html ?
... but instead of the "adb shell mount /system" command - boot into recovery (hold pwr+vol up), select "mounts & storage" (or very similar, depending on CWM edition) - and select "/system".
Then carry on with the rest of the commands.
Or - there's this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1343114
Seeing how you've already unlocked the bootloader, i guess it shouldn't be much of a problem.

Thats probably them problem right there. The first 2 commands didnt give me any errors when I got to "adb shell mount /system" command it said such&such error or file not found... something like that. I dont remember its been a couple weeks now. I will try running the commands the way you said.
Thank you! Wish me luck because Im not sure my phone will survive this go-round lol.
Im faily new to the android world. please forgive me of any stupid questions that i may ask.

you should download all in one toolkit and use the sideload feature. read the on screen directions as you go through the process and you should have no problems
I also ran into a similar predicament a few days ago. I found adb push to be much easier than sideload. Make sure that your drivers and adb is installed on your PC (I assume Windows). In recovery mode, plug phone into USB and your PC should detect the phone but you won't be able to see phone contents; mine made a connection sound.
Then open a command prompt and type: adb push ROM.zip /data/media/ROM.zip
Rom.zip is the rom file that you want to flash, which should be in the same folder as adb. For the path, I used "/data/media" because the custom recovery defaults to that but you may be able to use "/sdcard" as well.
Then flash the rom using recovery
Hello all,
I am a total newbie with mobile technologies, but know my way around a linux-box alright.
I just got a Samsung Rugby Pro through an upgrade at ATT.
My goal is to run Ubuntu touch as my main OS. I know some people think this is a silly aim, but its my money, so for the sake of simplicity, can we just agree that it is a goal?
I have been doing every backflip I can find to root this thing. Or flash it. Or do whatever is necessary to enable fastboot via the linux terminal.
The adb install I have works just fine (i.e. it detects, can restart it, etc). I have tried messing with the 51/71/99 android.rules in udev many, many times. Fastboot will not recognize the device. I have loaded the device into the bootloader screen various ways (via adb, via volumedown+home+power before and after plugging it in) ; no luck.
I figured it may be because the phone isn't rooted. This has led for my current root quest.
Using linux, and not having current access to any other OS's, I haven't been able to use Odin, or any of the other (likely scan) knock-offs. I have heimdall installed, and for the bloody life of me, though it says its working, even when the phone is in boot-loader, it doesn't do anything once the b*stard restarts.
I have tried downloading what feels like a hundered update.zip scrips, cwm.zip's...etc, etc. No luck! Whenever I try to install the update from the SD, it says there is an error in verification. As far as I can tell, there isn't a way to do it during normal operation; not that that would particularly help.
I have also tried a zRoot application, and a host of others...most of which all require root access?
Perhaps this is a simple deficiency in my understanding of this whole process, but there seems to be a bit of a loop of which one is needed first; root or cwm. I am spinning round and round; my cat is looking at my chain smoking funny and my gf says I stink.
So here I come to you all. How the hell's this done? If anyone has successfully rooted the Rugby pro on linux, I would be eternally greatful for the help. If you know how to go all the way to ubuntu-touch, you will have a cat and a lovely lady also eternally greatful.
Please...help.
Hello XDA community, this is my first thread, i had never needed to post anything cause i always find everything im searching for in this awesome community... until now :crying:
Last week I got a new android device which is made by Polaroid, model: PSPR355, its a pretty low class device but I thought it would be enough for me.... then i realize I needed root permissions, for obvious reasons... easy I thought... i had rooted many devices...how hard can it be...right?... WRONG! :crying: . The first problem I encountered were the drivers..couldnt find em anywhere... fortunatelly i found a tutorial were i could install the drivers in a different way...although I took 2 days to do this...Ive been about 5 days trying to root my phone.... Ive tryied about 10 different programs with their different versions... and any of those rooted my phone, nor Oneclikroot, nor Unlockroot, etc, etc..... I really gave up trying to find something on the web cause i didnt even find the phone on its official site, so I came her defeated asking for any solution, idea, or if you want to help me with commands, a programm or anything else to root my phone, Im not even afraid of trying programming (Im trying to learn how to make roms, kernels, etc for this phone cause theres nothing on the web abou it but this is a theme for another time) if you wanted to help me i would really appreciate it, im a little desperate so anything would come useful thanks everyone and I hoppe you can help me!!! :fingers-crossed:

I would recommend trying the towelroot application. It can be downloaded from here, just click on the orange lambda to download the tr.apk file. Then open towelroot follow the instructions in the application. After the device reboots I would recommend downloading, Root Checker Basic form the Play Store and running that to make sure your device is rooted. Finally install SuperSU, and you should be good to go.
First thanks for answering so fast shimp208! And I guess I forgot to tell that I was in Mexico and Im using Telcel's network, I downloaded and installed the apk file but it doesnt starts I click the button pops up a black screen and then closes to the last app I used...any idea about this error...or if its beacuse of the carrier, by the way the device has Android 2.3.7 I dont know if it has something to do with this error

Does it present an error message of any kind before it force closes? Try uninstalling and then re-installing the application, and if that doesn't work go to application manger under settings, find the towelroot application and select the options to clear it's cache and data. The carrier won't have any effect in this case, and with it being Android 2.3.7 your device most definitely has a kernel build date before June 3rd, 2014.

No it simply closes without showing anything, and without even giving the "Force Close" message, i thought it was because i first installed it on the sd card, or because of not enough space but no, I moved it to the phone and uninstalled some apps I had, I uninstalled and installed towelroot twice and it didnt work, I installed the v1 of it and i got to the [make it ra1n] screen but when I click the button it closes immediately again without any error message

Very interesting, while in theory the app should work for any kernel build date earlier then June 3rd, 2014 the app many not be compatible with devices running an Android version less then 4.x.

Since you have the usb drivers working on your computer, try booting into the bootloader and using fastboot to see if the command fastboot devices returns anything. If the computer see's the device in fastboot that's a good sign. If your device doesn't have a locked bootloader which it likely doesn't, then I can try and create a rooted system image for you to flash in fastboot. Provided fastboot see's your device if it does, if you can provide me an adb dump of your /system folder then I will see what can be done.
Interesting for me.,.

Unfortunately if fastboot doesn't show your device without any other flashing utility, even with the system dump there is no way to flash a rooted system image if it was created.
Got to see if this guys do the trick!

Hello shimp well I connected my device on FastBoot Mode and my computer recognized it and it installed a driver named: ADB Testing Interface I dont know if thats a good sign or what should I do, I tried entering into recovery mode but it shows only an android little guy and exclamation quote... so I think it doesnt have a recovery boot I dont know if thats relevant, Could you help with the adb dump i dont know how to get it. And.... I dont know if besides you help me with the rooted system image you could teach me how I do this.... anyways thanks a lot for helping me! I'll keep doing everything you need so we can root this device!

Since your computer recognizes the device and installed the driver and shows the device when in fastboot mode that's a good sign. The Android with the exclamation point is part of normal stock Android system recovery, it just means that the recovery menu has been hidden (You should be able to get the menu to appear by pressing the power and both the volume buttons in recovery mode). To dump /system run the following command:
Code:
adb pull /system
Then please send me a link to the /system dump, from there I will make a rooted system image.
Factory Rooted??
Hey guys I'm new to this so I may be wrong but has anybody thought to check if the Polaroid PSPR355 comes Factory Rooted??? I had a Polaroid Tablet, PID something(I forget the name), which I tried for hours to root resulting in: bootloop, hard reset, root, bootloop, hard reset, root, bootloop, hard reset, about to give up. So I Googled how to root Polaroid PID something (again, I forget the name), and I come to a post somewhere(forgot that too) that tells me my Tablet and similar Polaroid electronic devices(as well as most electronic devices coming from China) are factory rooted due to some Chinese law. So after the last hard reset, I downloaded HowToRoot App to check if my Polaroid Tablet is, in fact, rooted. I press the little lock button(root checker) and I find that, to my surprise, my Polaroid Table is in fact rooted. So all I had to do was download SuperSU from Google Play Store and Update Binary when prompted and I was Super User. Don't know if this helps but it worked for me.
I can't seem to root this thing. I've tried many onclick roots. You cant use the phone from 10 minutes without the phone going koo-coo. I want to load some random ROM and hope it works. I can't load the ROM without first rooting the machine and using cwm recovery or something. So I think......
Tried TowelRoot on the phone..Tried iroot on my pc etc. I've gotten my self somewhat familiar with adb in my cmd prompt. I'm learning just enough to be dangerous but not enough to make a difference. So far the closest thing to getting a root on this phone has been pushing some pwn and trying to run that. I did try MTK Droid Root kit but that started getting a bit to complicated to follow or they were ill written directions. Here is the nitty gritty...
I tried this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=2684210
All was going well. But when I ran nautilus in Linux it did not see the phone anywhere. therefore I couldn't move any files.
Then I ended up getting to something similar but pushing some code named psneuter to the phone and another one called pwn. pwn started but then said failed in the cmd prompt.
I rarely give up on something like this but I can't so I'm writing here. Should I persue the MTK Droid Root kit or does someone have something I should try.

I'm not sure if this will be much help, but...
I recently purchased an XGODY model G300 off eBay, from "eternaldealer". Not sure how much it differs from the X200. Anyway, as received, this phone had pop-up ads and banners. The phone was not really usable. But, a scan using Malwarebytes found three malware apps, "Flashlight", "BeautyMakeup", and "Fun Weather". I did a factory reset and then disabled those three apps. (I cannot uninstall them... yet.) With those three apps disabled, the phone works just fine. You said that your X200 phone goes koo-koo after about 10 minutes? That is sort of what I was seeing before I disabled those apps. So, unless you have already done so, you might consider doing a scan of your phone using Malwarebytes, and maybe a few other malware-related apps from the Play Store. Or, just going into your phone apps list and disable any that don't look absolutely necessary.
As for me, I do want to root my G300, but only to do minor tweaks (e.g. shut off the startup/shutdown sound).
Good luck!
