Hello,
Newb to rooting.. Just a question, how do we know rooting is safe and there is no backdoor/trojan injected during the rooting process? A million thanks to all the developers and appreciate your time and effort but does the source code for all these rooting methods get uploaded somewhere and reviewed? Just heard some stories from other exploits online about malicious code in the apps. Just being paranoid I guess, no offense intended!
Not all of them no. Most ate closed sourced. This is the risk you take when you flash anything to your device or use anything like xposed mods.
Ok thanks for your reply

I'm planning to modify my Archos 101. Got this this website about the rooting process. Before I go to rooting, I want you guys to know my plans to mod my Archos 101, is to have much higher clock speed, not like the stock speed, also no limitations on installing App. Now I updated my OS to 2.1.04. I have no SDcard but mine has a 8GB Internal mem.
I found this forums, and I dont know where to start? Can you guys guide me to the right directions.

I'm kinda confuse, after I found this posts... please guide me before I do some rooting.. Thank you masters...
Also what is the advatage of rooting my device... i'm kinda curious? I love to use all the potential of device. Is this the same?
Why would you want to root your device if you don't even know what the benefits or drawbacks of rooting it are?!? Are you so desperate for root that you are ready to void your warranty or install a possible trojan?? I suggest you get familiar with the capabilities of your device before trying to "mod" it in any way. Maybe it will suffice for you without the need to root. If not, you should read all you can on the subject before asking for help, there's a lot of information on the subject already. Someone who needs their hand held shouldn't be attempting to root the Archos.

Do we have freedom of choice here...? The reason why I want to root my device, I already read "some" of the benifits... The only thing I need is to make it faster or some sort... Some can run 1200mhz, or 1280mhz. Mine is only running 800-1000mhz. Some has custom desktop... mine is only plain stock, some can install a lot Apps by increasing ROM. Do you understand what I'm trying to express... I'm just asking for help... I'll be not blaming you and other pips... I only need is guidance and just simple tweaks.... Thats all... Please help are In need... Warranty? I thought you can bring it back to the original? and it will not brick, right? So please XDAdevelopers pimp my Archos....!

I have confirm the above thread is very easy to temporary root or permanent root (without CPU speed up). I have recommend you to read this thread first.
2. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=895599
This thread look like difficult for new user and must have some knowledge about linux command.

This thread very easy to temporary root and you can use SETCPU to speed up CPU. I love this thread but it not ability to permanent root.
Note: I had decided to root my device by myself and I don't mind about warranty

Suggested Thread Idea(Sorry if in wrong section), if devs do not want this, could a mod please delete this? Thanks!
This thread is meant to relieve the load on devs and provide a source of ideas for them. No offense to devs, I'm not insulting your capabilities. Besides, I hardly know any programming.
Anyway, I'm thinking of collecting suggestions from the many people who make up this X10 mini developing community. I'm sure all of us would want to help as this benefits everyone. Also, some of us here have knowledge of Linux Kernel programming(although not in android) and could help. No questions are to be posted.
Here is an example of the format needed -
Kernel Unlocking - Fool the bootloader! <- This is the title.
Concept: Instead of trying to deactivate or skip the locked bootloader, is it possible to actually fool the bootloader into thinking the one you are trying to load is legitimate? Perhaps by imitating the properties of the kernel that the bootloader looks for, we could load a custom kernel onto the phone.
So, a question to devs - would you rather want or not want this? Thanks!

Oh, I see. Nevermind, thanks a lot!
I know that rooting basically gives you SU access, I am learning Java Programming and would like to be a part of the community and help to develop rooting methods, but I am still a noob with much to learn, what exactly does source code for a root exploit do? Is there somewhere I can go through it line-by-line, perhaps with comments in regards to what each section does?
Or is there some way to learn this? I want to learn to develop ROMs, themes and rooting methods but I dont know where to begin other than obviously learning Java programming...
Thanks much! and if I posted this to wrong section please let me know!
anyone?
My roommate is going to begin working on getting this device rooted. He told me to do that he needs the uncompiled kernel and source code (I believe, if that doesn't make sense please correct me). I have rooted my phone before by myself so I have a little experience, and can get temp root so far on the phone. Would anyone know how to acquire what he needs? I have the device in question and I'm not afraid to risk breaking it to get this done.
Also if anyone has any general advice I can pass along to him please let me know. Thank you!
TL;DR
Friend needs source code for Samsung Galaxy J3 to work on custom rom/kernel. Where/how to acquire this?
Here are the source manifests for msm platform. Choose msm8916_64
https://codeaurora.org/xwiki/bin/QAEP/release
Here is the repo instructions.

Here is the closest kernel sources I could find.

Good luck.
I think this is what we need, I forwarded him those links and will find out probably tomorrow if they are what he was looking for (but from the sound of things it should be). I can't say thank you enough! I had -no- idea where to even start looking!
any news?

We have a working permanent root at this moment but no custom ROM yet. Here's the link to the root thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=66423732#post66423732

Guide For Root
Hi,
Complete Android Newbie here, please apologise my beginner question.
I'm looking for a way to root the new Samsung Galaxy S9 running latest updates, without tripping KNOX.
I've seen rooting tutorials around but they never mentioned Knox specifically. Would like to understand the options first, before starting to mess things up.
Thanks for your input!
Cheers

unless we get lucky and get root-able engineering bootloader.
I doubt we will see other method that's not tripping KNOX.
Not without sacrifice. This is a chose you make. Knox or root. Having both defeats both.
