I have Huawei Y300.Pretty decent phone but it has a lot of junk apps on it.Should I root it?On the manual it says that it voids the warranty...
I am using aa Lenovo vibe x2-eu running android lolipop 5.0.2 i've tried kingo root, king root, root genius from pc and apk and nothing works for me i have usb debugging enabled and the developer options as well plz tell me what app can root my phone.
And if you know how to root it do you know if there is any good custome rom i could use compatible with my phone.
Plz at you know told me I am using Lenovo a6000 plus 5.0
.2
I don't know about the Roms, but have you tried KingRoot? Worked for me when nothing else would.
Kingroot is also failed plz help guyz
What did KingRoot say? Did you try more than once? Sometimes it's glitchy like that.
I use 10 more than
Come again? I did three and got root access.
Any other methods for rooting work for every models
There's always the difficult ADB way. Have you tried that method?
No I can't know??
Huh?
Kingroot is **** tokbe honest. If you cant root it the manual way just search a video on youtube how to root it or even on here. Alot safe. Kingroot takes all your personnal informations and do wathever the heck they want with it. If you are okay with that fine but id rather take 20 mins to root it the hard way and be sure everything is well done
I just purchased a Posh Mobile s240b but have been unable to obtain root permissions. Does anyone have any suggestions on how I might obtain permanent root without using any of the "One Click" root tools? Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Android version is 4.4.2
P.S. I tried towelroot and framaroot but neither support the s240b.
I contacted Posh Mobile just to see if they might be willing to offer a root tool if I agree to forgo my warranty. They replied back suggesting that I use Kingoroot, Kingroot, or Iroot. I looked at all three of those options but found that all contain malware/spyware or maybe even viruses. Anyone have any other options for me to investigate?
My Thor device is on 4.5.5.3. My goal is to root, and I don't plan to install custom roms.
After researching the forum, here comes a few questions I have:
Kingroot should work (with retries) ?
I don't need to unlock bootloader or install twrp if I'm cautious with SuperSU grants. If I always know what I'm doing with root, risk should be minimal?
Can system update (say future 4.5.5.4) brick the device if all I did is root? Should i block the update?
Thanks in advance!

While past OTA updates have simply removed root that may not hold true with future updates. Recommend blocking.
Kingroot for me only took 2 tries ( withlastest version) , you can check the root with ES File, if you can activate root explorer, its done.
I dont think this device get more updates at this point.
Hi !
I just got a brand new Mate 10 Pro, and managed to get a bootloader unlock code since I haven't updated the phone yet. I plan on unlocking it and then updating it to the latest version of Android.
I spent quite some time trying to figure out in which cases the device could brick, but since it seems that it can brick pretty easily I haven't found a complete answer.
Eventually, I would like to know if there a risk of bricking the device when updating with the official OTA after unlocking the bootloader ? I know that every bit of tinkering could potentially brick a device, but I have not found a similar case to this one. This is not totally related, but I also plan on rooting the device with Magisk once I successfully update it so feel free to tell me if there is something I should be aware of.
Thanks a lot XDA !

Depends on what version of the Mate 10 you have, the US version (BLA-A09) supposedly bricks very easily. Since Huawei stopped providing unlock codes in July I'm wondering where you get a valid unlock code. Also, unlocking voids your warranty, as does any modifications to the software. Also be advised the once you root you will no longer be getting any updates OTA and will have to manually flash updated system images (drastically increasing you risk of bricking your device with every update)

There are multiple sources for valid unlock codes, though all are paid. (OP probably used DC as he said he didn't update phone yet)
Rooting does not disable OTA. You will still receive them. Only problem is installing them... It should go fine if you flash back stock ramdisk and recovery_ramdisk, this will remove both Magisk and TWRP.
However, if you have modified any other partition it may not install anyway, in that case you can try going to menu in System Update and select Download latest full package. This would install FullOTA rather than regular OTA.
Or you can use HuRUpdater to install firmware using TWRP.
One way to hard-brick right now is to downgrade from a firmware using new bootloader to one using old bootloader. This will give you a black screen.

The plan is to update to a stable and recent version using OTA (from BLA-L29 8.0.0.120(C432) to BLA-L29 8.0.0.157(C432)-FULL) and then root this version. Once I have root on this latest version, I plan on using it as long as the phone works, so updating to newer versions in the future and risking to brick the device shouldn't be a problem. I just want a functional root with a decent version of stock EMUI. Would updating from stock locked 120 to 157 and then unlocking + rooting be safe ? Thanks for the valuable info !

I used DC Unlocker since my device was still on an old version, as Ante0 said ! I think that if I ever want to update, I'll remove root (getting back to stock) and then update with OTA. Thanks for the warning, I haven't rooted nor unlocked a device since 2 years and things have changed with the new methods (Magisk etc...).

Yes, that should be fine. You could just unlock bootloader right away and then update, if you wanted to.
Just be cautious, do not downgrade past B146 on C432 (if you ever plan to downgrade), that was the first build with the new bootloader so going to B145 or lower will result in a brick.

Thanks again for the valuable information. Now I'm debating whether I should unlock now or after the update I don't plan on downgrading, except if I have problems after updating and HAVE to downgrade. Last question if I may: I plan on using Magisk (latest version, I guess) to root once I update to BLA-L29 8.0.0.157(C432)-FULL. But I've seen that Magisk/TWRP doesn't necessarily work on the latest versions for some people when using the "basic" way of installing it, I tried to search for an up-to-date guide to rooting but didn't find anything, is the "old" way still good ?
Edit: When I said "basic/old" way of installing Magisk, I meant that it seems impossible to get it to work by installing TWRP and flashing Magisk through TWRP, but that it seems to work by finding a patched "ramdisk.img" with Magisk. Is the latest option a reliable way to get root on BLA-L29 157(C432), considering that I would not have TWRP to restore a backup if using this method ?
Edit 2: Tried the usual way (flashing Magisk zip through TWRP) and it seems to work ! Thank you !
