Hello,
First of all I want to state that I am a complete noob with this kind of stuff. I have tried to root my galaxy s3 using a method including odin v3 and a file named: CF-Root-SGS3-v6.4.tar.
This completes without any errors. It also installed supersu. When I open that app, it sais I do not have the binaryfile and it connot be updated. It has something to do with me running android 4.3.
Then I tried rooting my device using kingoroot. I noticed it said my device was not rooted at the start. Again this method completed without any errors.
But again the same error. The binary. When I checked the root status with the kingoroot application it said my device was not rooted.
Framaroot did not work either. (The procces did not even start because it could not use the exploit and it returned error #6)
Is there another method available to root my device? Or is there a way to update the binary?
Thanks in advance,
Stabbler

Hi all, I want to root my lenovo S660, I have tried all the FRAMAROOT versions (... til 1.9.1) to root but none of them worked for me. I have also tried SRS one click rooting software to root lenovo S660 but this also did not work for me. The firmware version is android 4.2.2 Baseband version S660.V35. Please help me on this issue. Thanks in advance.
Lenovo S660 rooting
I have tried Kingo Android Root software to root lenovo S660, it took around 5 minutes to complete the rooting process, at the end of the process I got a pop on the screen which said root is successfully completed and rebooted the device. I could see Super Su icon in the drawer and it has been installed as a system app so that I cannot uninstall it. But when I click the Super Su icon to open it, a pop comes which says "The SU binary needs to be updated" it has two options "continue' and cancel', if I hit cancel it closes the super su. Or if I click continue it says " If you have a custom recovery like TWRP or CMW that can be used to install the Su binary. This recommended for HTC devices. How would you like to install the SU binary" following this there are two options first is CMW/TWRP and second it normal. If I click normal, it says installation failed. Since I'm beginner I do not know how to create custom recovery like CMW or TWRP. Can anyone please help me to solve this issue.....
I tried to update the Super SU from play store but this did not help me out.
Finally Rooted
Vroot is the best rooting app that can root Lenovo S660 successfully...

Dear I think that the software you are installing might be having any issue. So try to download it from some other source. And as per rooting your phone in concerned, follow these steps to root your Lenovo smartphone:
Download the application and then install it in your system.
After installing open the application.
When the application will open, connect your Android phone with your system.
vRoot will automatically detect the device.
Then click on the Root button. It will then automatically start rooting your smartphone.
Once your phone will be rooted, it will automatically restarted. You can check the rooting by finding superuser in your Application menu. If it is available there, then your mobile is rooted successfully.
not rooted with vroot latest setup pc root also

Its really strange to know that your phone is unable to root. I have tried the same procedure on my Lenovo A690 and attained success too. But I am not able to predict the issue with your mobile. vRoot application can easily root MTK75XX Device.
I will suggest you to check whether any other model of Lenovo is able to root with this software.

phone genius says it is toough phone to root.
Try something else
As nothing is impossible in this world, this lenovo s660 too might have some remedy in term of its rooting. If vRoot is not working, then just try Frameroot to root your mobile.
Install the FrameRoot app in your smartphone.
Then open it. In the display you will be able to see Boromir option. Just Tap it.
After running successfully, it will show a success message.
Then restart your phone.
See that your mobile phone is having SuperUser installed in it.
If yes then congz, your phone is successfully rooted.

I have successfully rooted my lenovo S660 using vroot PC app.
What exactly u need to do is, first install your mobile drivers successfully in ur pc , then enable USB debugfing in your lenovo s660 in developers mode. Now connect your mobile to your PC and vroot will recognise your device and it will ask your permission to root your mobile. Now click root, your hand set is rooted in few minutes and your nobile will restart automatically.

If i check with root checker su is found but not installed. Where i can get any help?
Tanks a lot.
Hey guys, recently I attempted to root my Asus Zenfone Selfie but was not sucessful. So I quit trying rooting it and download the Root Checker to check the phone again. And it said that "Sorry! Root access is not properly installed on this device" ". I want to ask that can my phone still be able to update OTA ? And does my phone lose warranty just because I attemped to root it but wasn't success ? Thanks everyone
