As the title says, I have the Canadian variant of the i527m mega and I do not have a locked boot loader, but I cannot find a recovery that will work on it or any other way to root it at this time kingo always says failed. Has anyone found a way to root this phone?

If you got the official OTA kitkat update the baseband should read the last three letters/number NE5 and if so then root is not possible at this time as the new kk bootloader prevents it to be rooted..have to wait till a rooting method is available..and hopefully soon.

Hey guys I just upgraded from gingerbread to official german 4.12 jellybean
I9100XWLSD_I9100XXLS8_I9100DBTLS7_HOME.tar.md5
via odin.
The installation went fine but now the phone got sim locked and it asks for a network code. I saw a couple of Galaxy S sim unlock apps on the playstore but none of them work (except for the one which has the [root] prefix in it which I haven't tried since the phone isn't rooted). So I was wondering how can I unlock it? Thx in advance guys

afaik you need root to unlock it.
It's rooting time.
Ok but what method should I use? There seem to be so many around I'm getting kinda confused. As far as I can tell the custom kernel method seems to be the easiest way to get it right? And how do I know which kernel should I use?

Well actually it's not my phone, it's from my little brother and I upgraded it remotely with teamviewer. I've rooted my own gt-i9305 with a prerooted rom with odin so is there something like that for the s2, and if there isn't what's the easiest way to get root on the s2 and what should I do after that?

If you don't root it, you won't unlock it and well, he's not gonna be able to use it as a phone.
Flash a custom kernel or flash cwm + su + busybox

I did before i started the thread but the thing called CF-Root seems to have Clockworkmod 5.xx and I read in another thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1746794
that the phone can get superbricked with cwm 5.xx
and that's where I got totally lost on what method should I use

Yes you can. If you have the D625 LTE version, you should try version 1 instead of the newest.
I have 620r
Try root LG G2 MINI D620r,V10g with towelroot but it said, this phone isnt supported. Any tips for rooting this phone?

Did you try the other versions of Towelroot? Certain ones work better with certain versions of the phone and updates. If not that, possible that the older method via update.zip in stock recovery could work: http://hexamob.com/devices/how-to-root-lg-g2-mini/ or a bit more difficult but end result being that you can also install a custom recovery and root that way or install roms would be to unlock the bootloader: http://forum.xda-developers.com/g2-mini/development/bootloader-unlock-t2827748 . Might want to check with the OP to see if your update is supported by that method, just to be certain.

guys, u know I made thread, that any gear S is rootable? Just follow this simple guide.
Newbie at this, but i've read several of the threads on here from start to finish to try to figure out how to Root my phone.
E2306 on Marshmallow
File system version 26.3.A.0.131
Either i'm getting mixed info, or just getting myself confused, but I'm not clear whether or not it's possible to root the E2306 when it says Bootloader unlocked: not allowed.
I saw an old thread saying it was possible with Lollipop [link here].
If it's not possible to do with Marshmallow on E2306, can I flash Lollipop onto the phone (as an example, or any other firmware recommended) to be able to either get the Bootloader unlocked allowed, or just to straight up root the phone.
Any help is appreciated, thanks.

Flashing other firmware will not give you to unlock your bootloader if it's bootloader unlock allow: NO.
You can downgrad to lolipop and then root. There is no yet easy way to root on Marshmallow on locked bootloader. Some guy wrote some explanation about, how to root on locked bootloader, but it's not easy if you are a newbie, and for a lot of people it doesn't seem to work. I also tried, and i ended in bootloop. Maybe i did something wrong, or who knows. I don't have time for testing and trying, because i work a lot.

Forget my previous message. I successfully downgraded to Lollipop 5.0 and it is working fine.
Now, the link for the rootkit for Lollipop 5.0 E2306 appears to be unavailable
I found 2 threads which included this file (see below) but the links to the rootkit indicate that the account has too many downloads against it and has been temporarily disabled (https://www.dropbox.com/s/edse0h6b02...E23xx.zip?dl=0) [it appears to be cubeandcube's account.

Would anyone be able to upload a copy of the old rootkit for Lollipop 5.0 for the E2306?
Please and thanks.

Can't find it now, but here is this comment. About the same thing, but with less details. Still, it can help, you just need to do a little research.
"Downgrade to lollipop, root, make pre-rooted MM zip with Prf creator, and flash it via recovery. Hey, presto rooted mm with locked Bootloader.

Okay thanks dude
Bump, the Lollipop rootkit for E2306 is unavailable for download at https://www.dropbox.com/s/8icz6059kt3ztws/rootkitXperia_E2363_26.1.B.1.85.zip?dl=0
(says too much traffic on the account, so dl is disabled)
Does anyone still have a copy of the Lollipop E2306 rootkit from cubeandcube? I tried a couple other methods to root the phone and they're not working.
