My Zenwatch 2 will be delivered today. I've been searching on rooting it and seem to get conflicting info on how to root it. One person says don't use Kingroot, but I can't find an alternate procedure. Could someone give me a thread with rooting instructions? I'm "assuming" it will have Marshmallow on the watch. Sorry if I missed something obvious, I'd rather root before installing apps, since I'd likely have to reinstall them.
I have the same issue. I've been searching for rooting method and all i've come across is Kingroot. Maybe we have to broaden our search to the Android Wear OS?

I'm just going to apologize in advance if this is in the wrong thread.
I have a VZW GS4 (4.3 MJ7) and I'm very interested in Xposed Framework. Obviously, I'll need to root the phone, which I'm open to completely, and I have rooted in the past. The only two root methods I was able to find were Kingo and Vroot, which, as many of you most likely know, are suspected of containing malware. I have searched and searched, seemingly forever, and cannot find a reliable root method. Is anyone aware of something I can do to root?
By the way, my primary computer is running Ubuntu 13.10, I'd prefer a root method that can be carried out on my primary computer, if not, I do have an old desktop running Windows XP. At this point anything that can get me rooted I'll be happy with.
Unfortunately there are not any other root methods... And I got my new phone with mj7 already on it... And I don't trust vroot so I'm waiting. But many others have had no ill effects doing so.
Here is a topic where most of this is being talked about.

In the Verizon galaxy s4 general there are maybe 1 or 2 more topics also I personally just keep checking back.

Hey guys, I just got my replacement kindle. It came with 3.2.1. I did not update it yet, which I possibly won't, and I was wondering on how to root, and disable OTA on this version, thanks if you can help me.
Don't connect it to WiFi our you'll likely get an nasty OTA that will limit your future options. Elsewhere you mentioned being on 3.2.4. You're paths are different depending on starting point. Use towelroot to root and HDX Toolkit (here) to block OTAs. Then read through the forums to determine your options. Good luck.
I purchased a next book NX785QC8G with jellybean 4.2.2 already installed. Specs are in the screenshots that I have posted. I am trying to see if there is way to root this tablet. I've looked into towelroot, stumproot, cydia impactor, and others but can't get concrete answer as to if any of these would work. I don't want to risk bricking or doing worse to my tablet. I was hoping there was any information that anybody knows on rooting my tablet. Any help would be very much appreciated.

To determine if Towelroot can root it go into Settings, then About Device, and then Software Information. You should see a date under "Kernel version". If that date is before June 3rd 2014, Towelroot should be able to root it. Otherwise it won't be vulnerable. If it doesn't work it won't harm the device as it checks for the vulnerability before attempting it.
Framaroot can also potentially do it. Again, no harm done if it doesn't work.
There are also some sketchy ones- Root Master, VROOT, and Kingo Root. I would recommend staying away from those. Yes, they work, but we at XDA don't know how they do what they do, and they send info to a server in China. Again, we don't know what's being sent there.
There is no date before kernal info it just says 3.0.32+. I have included a screenshot
The build number shows that the ROM was built April 1st of last year. Towelroot should be able to root your device.
Towelroot does not work. I have just tried it. I am looking in to one click root now, have you headed of this method.
Oneclickroot says device isn't in their database to check back in 24 he's.
I've heard of OneClickRoot but I've never used it so I can't vouch for it.
Try Framaroot. It tends to work well with a lot of devices.
Framaroot doesn't work either. Towelroot says it won't work on kernal versions before June 1st 2014.
I believe I have a solution. I found this here on XDA:
Rooting instructions for Nextbook 8 Quad Core (NX785QC8G).
1. Connect to PC via USB, enable USB debugging on tablet, then use*Cydia Impactor*to create ADB device Driver. (USB>Driver Scan>Create Driver).
2. While connected USB, use*Kingo*after device driver is installed to complete rooting.

I hope it works for you.
Next time, you might want to try a Google search. Searching your model number followed by "root" brought this right up. My apologies if you did try a search but were unsuccessful.
OK so I was able to get it rooted using cydia impactor and kingo. I have installed super su, titanium backup and busybox x+. What if any Roms are available for my tablet. Its jellybean 4.2.2
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=55321603&postcount=150
From what I can tell it's based off of the stock ROM, but it was the best I could find.
Thank you very much. I googled I binged and I got info and help only here. I will download and let you know how it goes. Fingers crossed
I was wondering if anyone knew if there was a cyanogenmod rom that worked with this phone. Thank you.
UNLOCKING raven H892L
ME too. How can I root or unlock this phone.? Help please.
Try Kingo Root
do a google search for Kingo Root.
Its the only one I could find that worked but i still have a few issues.
Cant update or install recovery.
Cant gain Root for some apps.
Cant update SU.
Cand update Busy Box.
But one caveat is that i Rooted mine using Kingo around mid 2015.
There have been several updates to Kingo since then and while none have fixed my problem it may be able to do yours without error.
Make sure you use "Kingo" and not "king" or some other similar name as there are several and it can be confusing.
Hello,
I have browsed XDA for some time now(S4 launch), but this is the first time I have not been able to get my problem solved without posting directly.
As such, I'm not quite sure if this is the correct place to post this and I sincerely apologize if I am in the wrong here.
Specs:
Android Version 5.0.2.
Baseband Version G925VVRU1AOE2
Kernal Version 3.10.61 Dated May 12, 2015
Hardware G925V.04
KNOX 2.4
The biggest issue is ping pong root not working for my device. I think if I can get this to work, my issues would be solved.
-Yes, it is in the supported devices section
-- I have searched [ROOT] PingPongRoot ***S6 & S6 Edge Root Tool*** Android 5.0.2 OC3/OE2 Only!!! extensively for this specific issue to no avail
--- I follow all steps and still get "device not supported, stay tuned"
---- using the search function within the thread, I looked for anything relating to G925VVRU1AOE2 and also tried a number of tricks that weren't build specific.
----- I have flashed G925VVZW1AOC3 and rooted with ping pong root with no issues. Flashing AOE2 back on gives the same error I had before.
------ Once upon a time I rooted with ping pong root on AOE2... This was shortly after it was supported.
My ultimate goal is to install a custom ROM. I was thinking Extreme Syndicate V8
For this, I need to be rooted on AOE2 via ping pong root.. Like I mentioned before, AOC3 root works fine and I have no issues with using that, except I need AOE2 + flashfire for this ROM.
I have never installed a custom ROM before, but I would like to start. If this ROM is a bad choice, I am open to suggestions. The extreme debloat is what drew me here.
All that said and done, I'll provide a little more in depth history.
I mentioned I originally rooted AOE2 with ping pong root in the past.
Shortly after that I was using XMODGAMES and somehow ended up downloading KINGROOT. Not sure what it did to my device but I could never uninstall kingroot completely. It would reinstall on reboot even after uninstalling with kingroot.
Eventually I came across SuperSUme and used that to successfully remove kingroot and switch over to SuperSU.
All was well and good (on my Stock AOE2 ROM)
About 2 days ago my google services framework crashed. I was able to identify Google+ not syncing properly as the cause... However I could not locate a fix. Through my tinkering I lost the google play store. So I decided to just do a full factory reset, hoping it would be simpler than trying to fix the issues I was having.
That brings us to today. I have so far flashed AOE2 - > AOC3 -> AOE2, with around 5 hard resets in between.
I figured I could just use kingroot to get rooted, then SuperSUme to get back to SuperSU and that should allow me to use flashfire.
WRONG. SuperSUme never asks for root permission(or kingroot automatically blocks it idk). So SuperSUme doesn't work. I tried this with kingroot 4.9, then 4.1 and I think 4.5 (not exactly sure what the last one was)
I looked for a more complex rooting method since it appears the one touch ones weren't going to get the job done, but couldn't find anything.
If anybody could point me in the right direction to getting rooted with SuperSU, it would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you for your time.
