I am wanting to root my 1st generation droid version 2.2.1 so I can use wireless tether. I have searched all over the web looking for a way to be able to do this. I have tried several methods all have not worked. I tried z4root. It installed on my phone but when went to root it (temp or permanently) the app just closed, I tried rebooting phone and doing this several times, but still didnt work.
Super One Click was another one I tried.

I downloaded this from the web to pc and then rooted phone through pc. It says phone was rooted, and it installs super user. I can enable wireless tether and connect my laptop to it, but it says limited connectivity and therefore cant access any web pages.
I am new to this whole rooting thing, so please could someone help me out.
Hi there!
I'm a citizen of India and I recently bought an Indian manufactured phone. This phone is the Karbonn A3+.
The specifications of which, I can't give you since this is my first post. Now, coming to rooting this phone, I've tried EVERYTHING. And, when I say, EVERYTHING, I mean it. I've tried, Universal Androot, z4root, Framaroot, Bin4ry, Rootx, SuperOneClick, and the old traditional cmd method by pushing busybox, superuser and all the other files onto the device.
Now, I ended up realizing that my phone's drivers weren't on the manufacturers' website, and were nowhere to be found on the internet. Hence, I downloaded an application called PDA Net + on my phone, and got the corresponding computer software application from their website. That gave me PDA Net for my computer and once I plugged in my device, it installed the following drivers :
1) USB Composite Device ; 2) Android ADB Interface.
The device is yet not recognized by the computer and only when placed on "Mass Storage" can it be detected for file transfer. Sometimes, it is detected to some extent but on some applications (such as bin4ry) it says "error : device not found".
Desperate need of help. Thanks.

I haven't thoroughly searched for a root tool for the A3. I will tomorrow morning. Any idea other than this? Because, if this doesn't work, does that mean I am stuck with an unrooted device?
I have been trying to set up reverse tethering so I can use the computer Internet connection on phone.
Phone is Alcatel OneTouch XPop
From what I understand phone must be rooted for reverse tethering,
Although it says it's a relatively simple procedure I cannot seem to make it work. Came across a program called OneClickRoot, which according to their claim is easy and simple, however it did not work..Procedure said enable USB debugging and click Root Now in the OneClick programme
But the programme could not recognise the device so was unable to complete it, went through faultfinding procedure but still did not work.
I am not that familiar with rooting so any advice or alternative procedures would be appreciated!
The simple matter may be, that the One touch XPop is not suitable for rooting, as I believe some phones are not?
Hi. First time here and first post.
I have a Cloudfone 430X_FS201302 with Android version 4.0.4.
I cannot detect any USB device other than my PC connection.
I ran a USB Host Diagnostics v1.32 and it says:
Android API Device detected No
Kernel Device detected No
I guess this is why a OTC or any other USB thing will not work. I was considering ROOTING it. But i do not know if doing that would actually fix this or allow it to be fixed. Also this is my first fone of this kind and i have never rooted a fone before.
Is rooting the way to go here or is there another way to fix this.
Thanks

Greetings,
I'll start by giving you a rundown of my device. It is a Acer Liquid E3 running on Android KitKat 4.4.2, kernel 3.4.67. It uses an MTK mt6589 processor. It is pretty much stock apart from the fact it is rooted. The problem started when I attempted to backup my device in ClockworkMod, I was naming my backup and proceeded and then instant black screen. The device will not turn on full stop. I have tried connecting it to my PC but it doesn't recognise it, when trying to boot via adb I get device not found. Same story goes for Flash Tool. I even downloaded OneClick Unbrick as a last hurrah but supposedly no device was connected.
The last time my phone was connected to my PC it recognised it, it was only plugged in for charging though. Therefore I believe my USB drivers are working. USB debugging was also checked as I've never turned it off since first turning it on. Pretty much the only sign of life is the blue LED that comes on when charging. Worst case scenario at least I'll have a brick that shines some light.
On a serious note I would appreciate some advice on the matter. I haven't been in this position before so it may be something simple that I'm overlooking. Thank You for reading and I'm looking forward to your advice!
