I bought GT-I9000M, Froyo, 4 days ago, brand new unlocked from store. I had a problem getting GPS to work. Searching for a fix on the web, I got inundated with all kind of info,. Not only on GPS fixes, but on comparing, updating, rooting, flashing, unlocking, APP's and other issues with my Galaxy s. So, after reading quite a bit, I decided to update or flash my phone to the latest (assuming that will solve GPS problem and all other issues). As a newbie to Android software which I was about to temper with, I selected androidadvices.com to guide me. I had read very carefully and I followed instructions meticulously to flash 2.3.4 XXJVP. but it did not work. then the phone did not start and I got the little mobile and pc with triangle in between sign. I still could get to download mode. I tried to repeat the process many times, but got same results. it halted after it started to load bin file. I consulted the so called expert at androidadvices if the I9000M differs from I9000 and if could that be the reason for what happened. HE did replied promptly "YES" and advised to take it to service center. I searched a little more on the web with other language and I found a tip about omitting pit file (using Odin). Tip worked fine and flashed to XXJVP. Please do not congratulate me yet. Now the phone starts showing I9000. I did not only lose M, but it is network locked. Getting back to the so called expert to ask him if it's a good idea to upgrade or rooting (as he described in his instructions) to 2.3.4 XXJVQ to solve the problem. Also I meant to publish what happened on his site to save other newbies from believing what he writes. And his answer was "YES" again. Now I know the trick how to use Odin by omitting pit file, I did flashed to XXJVQ. Unfortunately, the galaxy s still locked. By that time, with no search, I already know that XDA forum from their tens of Youtube videos and links on every galaxy s site for their unlocking techniques. I'm sorry I'm trying to make this story short, but I can't for I won't feel well if someone trying to help asks me "did you do that?". However I tried everything I could, using Generate Unlock and SIM less methods, on XDA to unlock, yet no luck. I logged on a site I do not recall the address and up loaded the nv_data.bin.orig and entered 8 digits twice for unlock and unfreeze. I got back the message "the file is smaller than it should". the file was 4MB. I paid for unlock code from unlock-freedom.com 2 days ago, which promised to send code within 12-24Hrs. Yes the store I bought it from is finally open today. I went there and he plugged it to laptop hooked to USB unlocking device. He tried many time and ending with the message unlocking successful on the unlocking app. Yes you got it, the Galaxy s I9000 previously I9000M still locked. On the bright side.I have Gingerbread 2.3.4 XXJPQ installed and if I dismiss unlocking screen I can log in my email. Any help from a real Expert!!!!! will the unlock code, if I receive it, solve the problem. will I ever have my new phone working again????

Ok that was pretty long and slightly confusing. But I think you lost your unlock yes? Have you tried Helroz's Galaxy S Unlock app from the market?
Thank you for replying, I'll be more than delighted to clear your confusion. The answer I coulld not try Helroz's for it's like some other methods require to gain access to efs folder. I don't have folder named efs. and the only file I found browsing internal sdcard whether through PC or Myfiles icon on mobile was nv_data.bin.org with another file called devicefriendlyname.txt with rest of regular folders like sovx and android. all under: /mnt/sdcard as it shows in the phone.

need root explorer to see efs files
could you please through a download link to root explorer

RE: Helroz
Ok I feel like we have real experts here. I installed Helroz smoothly and run it but I got the following message:
It's possible you have problem with busybox, please install it or fix it.
So, what's next great guy's? I guess I need a root explorer and busybox !!!

No Way I think you chould replace your TW launcher with your TV guide and look for the cable guy movie
I have a problem here installed busybox and ran it to get the following;
Root not found!
the su binary was not found on your phone. this application will not work since your phone is not rooted
Then I press OK to get:
Status: looking for Busybox....
Your phone is not rooted
you used root explorer ?? so you must be rooted
i tried restoring app with titanium and it said i wasnt rooted so i rebooted and then it worked
try that and if not then try the super one click root method
Ready to donate and hit many thanks
Yes it's me again. still trying.
can anyone write happy ending to this endless story. but please consider I'm A NOOB not anything less than that. meaning I'm not familiar with most of terms and expressions you are using here.
However, if you are following this annoying story from beginning, I'm facing a dead end again, but i know there is great hope considering the following:
I have decided to start clean so I followed instruction in this thread (NOOB GUIDE: HOW TO ROOT/ODIN/FLASH/RECOVER ** 04/28/11 W/ Videos **).
I did every thing as it should be I believe, but I'm stock half way. Phone now flashed to stock T959UJFD (I'm glad now I can say that since I know what stock means) but shuts down as soon as I plug USB cable???????
I have update.zip file on internal SD not the 2GB external.
Also have the Rom of my choice zip file (Trigger 3.2) on internal SD.
Oh I also have SuperOneClick. And Odin 1.7
tried too many things like flashing without reparation or without reboot. tried also to flash some 2.3 Rom versions. and they do work well as I saw. Only one main problem I can't root the phone (meaning I can't see efs folder to unlock phone) which what I have to do since I locked it while trying to fix GPS, in case you are not following from the start.
I also have a very light nice functional stable Arabic Persian Rom. as a matter of fact, I do not know how, but with this version of Rom the phone was able to receive calls and sms. half locked
Thank you Kyle for trying and I believe I have to hit the thanks button for you
I'd really appreciate any help to end this rather entertaining story.
dont know why it goes off when usb gets plugged in :s
you cant root rooting means you can flash custom roms which you've done ?? so you must be rooted ??
and you dont need odin or super one click on your sd (if thats what you meant)
but trying to fix gps locked it as in only open to 1 network/carrier ?? (whatever it's called where you are)

I've recently acquired a Photon 4g and would like to root it. I've been using guides on XDA for a while now. Ive been rooting since the g1 and I've tied every method available for the Photon to no avail. I have the latest update so I think thats why the tordpedo method isn't working and I've tried both AIO roots with no luck as well. Can anyone give me any advice as to what I can do or point me in the right direction? Been searching the forum and google and I can find anything.
Side note, is it possible to downgrade and then root? Been searching downgrade on the Photon and again... no luck. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
You don't need to downgrade to root it. I used the one click AIO root on the latest update with no problems. And fyi you also need to unlock the boot loader on the photon, its not like how on other phones where once you root it your done.
Here's everything you need to know http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=20331544

Wrong, just for this person to ROOT the phone he/she doesnt need to unlock the bootloader.
For them to root the phone you need to before running the AIO root you need to enable USB debugging on the phone.
To enable you go to settings >> Applications >>> Development >>> then enable USB Debugging..
Good luck chances are good that this was your issue.

I also used shabby's AIO one click. I bought my MoPho and activated it. I think it happened during activation, but may have been right after, it updated immediately updated to the latest firmware. When I set up one of the things I did was enable USB debugging. When I rooted it worked perfectly first try.
I'm a MoPho-er

I used the method described by qbking77 in his youtube video.
Go to youtube and search for "qbking77 photon" Its one of the videos that gets listed.
Hope this helps.

I tried that. I've installed the proper drivers. enabled debugging and it still won't root my phone. I've been rooting for a while and I followed the instructions to the T.

You're not giving us info to allow us to help:
- Error messages?
- Screen shots of your PC's DOS window?
- Was your Photon new out of box? If not, hard to tell what may have done to it. Maybe flash back to stock.

I guess you don't understand what I'm saying. On other phones when you root them that's all you have to do to run custom roms. On the photon to run custom roms you have to unlock the bootloader unless its 1 of the 2 roms where you can be locked. I didn't say you had to unlock the bootloader to root the phone.
No problem, just seemed as bad advice compared to what the OP was refering to.
He was having trouble rooting, he is obviously new and it seemed that telling him to unlock his bootloader was only clouding the issue.
He/she was having trouble rooting, so what would cause that? Certaintly not the bootloader.
Im at work so i dont have my laptop to give the exact error but ill give a brief explanation from memory. I installed the 32 bit drivers on my laptop running windows 7. I ran the aio and when it says thanks to creator(i forgot who but my version doesnt say edgan) i make sure o have debugging check and proceed. It recognizes the phone and runs fine up until it says erasing all your ****. Then it reboots and says device not recognized repeatedly then says you should be rooted.
Sent from my MB855 using xda premium
Thanks guys for all your advice and help. I found my problem and I'm now rooted.
For anyone interested in the solution. I switched laptops from one with windows 7 to a xp laptop and every time the AIO said it was rebooting I unplugged my phone until it was fully booted then plugged it back in to be sure the program recognized it. Worked on first try with new machine.
Hi,
I updated my LG E400's firmware from 10J to 10L last with PC Sync. After upgrading the root was still intact. SuperUser still installed, though I had to install Lucky Patcher and had to select Patch to Android for the Android Market again. However, when I tapped About phone in Settings, there was an error and a force close. I looked up the LG firmware site and downloaded the 10L firmware and updated with KDZ updater. The problem started right after that.
I have not been able to root with any ninja script, doomlord script, superoneclick. I have tried reverting to an older firmware (the original version 10J cannot be downloaded) 10D or 10I I think, but got the same error while trying to root. Finally, I tried the "without computer" means of rooting like framaroot and Exynosabuse but none worked. So here I have a fine phone with the latest firmware but with all crap like the LG Keyboard and Google Search, Remote Talk, Play Book, Weather and stuff that I can't get rid off. Also, I can't install Link2SD to increase internal memory. Any suggestions??
Regards,
Sam

Unable to root phone after firmware update
Ok..Update my friend..The tool that you had provided was already tried by me. I had LG drivers version 3.10 whereas your link gave me the LG drivers version 3.7. Anyway, I thought maybe a previous version of the drivers will work and uninstalled the updated drivers and installed your drivers. But I get the same error. My phone is getting detected fine by the computer. I think this is something more complex. Let me know if you know anything more than what is already out there from Rootlord, Ninja site, framastor, gingerbreak. Nothing has worked so far. I have even tried degrading the firmware version to 10D but even that did not work so I flashed the current version 10L again.

Hi Azithro,
Oh, I've been so stupid. The answer was staring at my face. I have tried all the tools you have mentioned above (maybe not the last one) but finally I realized that the solution is much simpler than that. I simply ran the spectrum rooting software for LG E400 as Administrator in my Win 7 PC and the phone was rooted in 2 mins. After fighting for root from last Friday, the easy solution almost made me fall off my chair. Stay well bro and keep helping like you do.

hi i am facing the same problem but even running as administrator is not helping!
Trying to root an Astrotab but I'm not able to connect the device with usb debugging because I don't have the correct USB drivers on my windows 10 machine. After scouring the web I've been unable to find any in existence and hopefully someone here has been able to do so or knows of some workaround. I'm new to rooting and I am using an application called oneclickroot , I don't know if this is the best method but the software isn't recognizing the device due to lack of drivers. Here are my device specifications below
Model A935
Android version 5.1.1
Firmware Version v3.3rc5
Kernel Version 3.4.39 [email protected] #9
Build Number A33_U92C_U992HB2C_1510077.20151228
root apk
try to get some rooting apk on tablet, and try to root with that
Which do you recommend? I heard that kingroot leaves behind alot of bloatware that is hard to get rid of
UPDATE
Still not able to locate any ADB drivers for windows 10 on this device. Tried non pc apk's Kingroot , Towelroot/Iroot. Still no success , any help would be appreciated.
Working...
After 4-5 grueling hours finally got it working! How do i know if this is temporary or permanent root? I used root checker and it says it is properly installed on this device. Only thing there seems to be alot of bloatware on my device now. How do I tell what is safe to remove? Some crap called one click , app cool , etc was removed and I lost root access. Re-did process and got root again but still have the same chinese applications present on my device. App Cool , King root , superUser.. My question is do I have to deal with having them on my device , or is there a safe way to remove them without losing root?
app
Remove all except Superuser because it is main root aplication

Can you explain how you got it to root properly? I tried king root application on windows 10 but I couldn't get it to root. It's all in Chinese, as well.
I easily rooted this tablet with KingRoot then used the KingRoot to SuperSU script to get KingRoot replaced. But mainly I'm commenting because I just wanted any tablet owners to know that I have the stock firmware and flashing tools (windows) that u can use to get the tablet back to stock or save yourself from a bootloop ( I can confirm this because I bricked mine using substratum lol) Also I can confirm that marshmallow will b an option sometime during Q1 of 2017 as quoted from insipira.
Sort of....
The Marshmallow update will only work on A10 tablets manufactured after October 1, 2016 (according to the folks at Inspira) Unfortunately, it will give you a white screen and nothing more on older versions of the hardware - I know. I have one. I tried. It doesn't work. Save yourself the frustration. The biggest pain with the A10 is that the bootloader is locked and attempts to unlock it are a waste of your time. If you brute force KingoRoot on it, it will not survive a reboot because of the unlockable bootloader. The vendor is unable (or more likely unwilling) to provide an unlocking code which tells me future tablet business for self and clients will have to go elsewhere. PITY - it is a really nice little unit but not worth calling in the NSA to try to root it. Oh well, lots of other inexpensive Android Tablet vendors out there.

After 4-5 grueling hours finally got it working! How do i know if this is temporary or permanent root? I used root checker and it says it is properly installed on this device. Only thing there seems to be alot of bloatware on my device now. How do I tell what is safe to remove? Some crap called one click , app cool , etc was removed and I lost root access. Re-did process and got root again but still have the same chinese applications present on my device. App Cool , King root , superUser.. My question is do I have to deal with having them on my device , or is there a safe way to remove them without losing root?

Can you explain how you were able to unlock the bootloader?
I have the same device and I've been unable to unlock the bootloader. I can get ADB working, boot into recovery just fine, but I can't figure out how to boot into the bootloader, whenever I try to (either using the adb command to reboot into bootloader or using recovery itself) it just shows the "Astro Tab" logo and gets stuck like that forever. I made sure to enable the option about allowing OEM bootloader unlock in the "Developer Settings" window.

Can you explain how you were able to use KingRoot to root this? I downloaded the apk from http://kingroot.net, installed it, and clicked the "Try Root" option, but it got stuck on the "Acquiring Root" step after a few minutes and completely crashed.
Here is a picture of where it got stuck: https://i.imgur.com/L4Pxtjn.jpg I couldn't even screenshot since system was frozen, and even connecting via ADB didn't work at this point. The reason I noticed that the device froze was because the clock did not update (it was around 8:30 when I took the picture, not 8:16 as shown).
I'm also having an issue unlocking the bootloader -- I can't even get to the bootloader (see my earlier post for details) but that's a whole different issue.

I cant seem to find anything on this thing. My searches keep bringing up other Alcatel devices or the Oneplus 3T. I got this tablet from tmobile for free and I was only planning on using it to mirror in my cars android auto.
I have tried kingroot and the process just sits at 1%
Please let me know if you need any other tablet information.
its running android 8.1.0
model 9027W
If for some reason this cant be rooted does anyone have any cheap tablet suggestions that can be rooted easily?
I have tried every method suggested to root mine and nothing. There is an update that i need to charge tablet up so i can install and will attempt them all again. I am running a samsung SM-T357T that is rooted and twrp installed till I can root this tablet . Hope to be soon.

I would like to see this as well. T-mobile really locked this device down and even took away the built in call kit as it's VOLTE.
Would SP Flashtool work as it's a mediatek device ?
Likewise searching for a means to root my Alcatel 37 9027W. T-mobile seems to have modded the android 8.1.0. in such a way
making it impossible to remove or otherwise stop google news feed running constantly in the background.
Sure would be nice to root this puppy.
pls have anyone found a solution to root this phone?. i'm trying to unlock. but everytime i use sigmakey,once its get to 'unlocking', it shows phone servicing has stopped and the software exits its self. or do anyone know any other solution for unlock that does not include rooting?
Same!
Interested in a way to get rooted for the device.

This works but we need a custom recovery or rooted boot image.
I was able to get a permanent root through a link to a reply on that thread.
Follow the instructions here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/an...atek-armv8-t3922213/post79626434#post79626434
I haven't fully tested the extent of the root, but I was able to get a prompt, root checker confirmed root, and Magisk is reported as installed. Obviously this will not unlock the bootloader or allow for a custom recovery (that I know of) so we will have to wait until someone can get fastboot working on this device for that.
Concur. Root works!
I used this tablet today . Very slow and laggy. Defiantly needs a new rom. Has anybody been able to flash any modules through Magisk or remove any of the T-mobile bloat ?
Found this thread looking for a root method for my Joytab. I just disabled the "Modify system settings" and " Draw over other apps" settings for Smart Manager and my Joytab is definitely way less laggy. No root required.
no twrp for 3t8?
