so yes I am new as they come at this. I have read a lot online about anything I can find about the root process and what it does. I have an Evo 4g which I have rooted. I have root access through ADB however when I try to install software on the phone it says I don't have root access, also through terminal emulator I have access denied error messages on the phone. Any ideas or guidance would be greatly appreciated as I am running out of web reading I've already tapped out google for info. Thanks in advance.

Hi all,
I hope this is not a 'noob' questions, but I googled and got nothing.
I downloaded WidgetLauncher and can't enable the root access to overcome some issues inherent in the AndroidOS. It says Root is either not available or denied.
I am running D2G on stock ROM with root. SU does not ask for permission when I select this option on WL, so how does the program automatically assume I am not/can't use the root feature?
Thanks!
Have you installed busybox? That and superuser can tell you if you ARE rooted. If not, download SuperOneClick to your PC, connect your phone and run it. Make sure you have USB debugging mode on, but do not mount USB as mass storage. Don't hesitate to look for rooting help here or elsewhere (I.E. Droid Forums, Android Central)

Maybe Im an idiot but Im trying to follow http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=996616 to root my thunderbolt and have no idea what im doing with ADB.
I tried reading that ADB workshop but Im still lost. Adb wont seem to let me do anything. Even a simple command to list the connected devices results in a permission denied error. Is there a step by step instruction or video for rooting the thunderbolt that actually includes the EXACT commands needed to do this successfully rather than assuming that people are familiar with the various commands and quirks of ADB?
I've manually and one click rooted other phones before but the most complex it got was mounting my sd card in windows, copying over some files and then rebooting the phone into recovery mode.
Why is this phone's rooting process so over the top complex?

Ok I just picked up one of these and it's rather different from other Aos phones i've rooted. you need to have SDK installed with Platform-tools
try to put them on C: if not just be able to navigate to the Dir to acess the adb shell. If you need help just google how to acess adb shell and im sure you can find a vid on youtube to help.
Rooting this phone isnt something hard. I didn't make the zip file All credit goes to Vadim for actually doing that. I took the update.zip file from the root method of the Huawei Ascend II and flashed it onto my Activa using adb.
The obligatory "I am not responsible to what happens with your phone and you flash this image at your own risk etc etc.. You all basically know the drill ;P"
Before starting make sure that you have the Android sdk installed on your computer. (I recommend installing it to the root directory of your hard drive)
Also install the USB Drivers by auto running the program when you plug in your phone via usb.
Make sure your phone has USB Debugging enabled
And now the process:
1.Download the update.zip via download link below.
2.Copy the download to the root of your phones SD Card
3.Hop on over to command prompt and go into the platform-tools directory of the SDK 'cd \whatever.path.to.sdk\Android\platform-tools'
4.Run 'adb devices' and make sure your device is there, it should say M920
5. If its there then reboot with recovery. 'adb reboot recovery'
6. Once booted into recovery then use the volume up and down buttons to scroll up and down and to select press camera button and then press power button. (Not at the same time )
7. Choose update from SD Card.
8. Choose the update.zip from the root of your drive.
9. After its done then reboot your phone and its rooted
anyway google root activa 4g and theres a youtube vid that will help. =it also can be found here "://androidforums.com/activa-4g-all-things-root/576135-guide-how-root-your-activa-4g.html"
This method does work but the binary is still outdated and Su fails when trying to update it.. but it still runs root exploreer just fine so you'll be able to remove whatever you want. As far as Dev work for this I am still trying to find a custom recovery img and hopeing some rom ports may be available soon. I'll post again if i find anything hope this helps..

Any update on this? I know it has been over 6 months, but it still seems to be the only root thread on the Internet for this phone. Haven't tried it yet, but if I am understanding you right then the functionality of this root will be very limited. (no SU at all?)
I'm just wanting to tether it so my wi-fi only Nexus 7 can have mobile data.

Do you need a custom rom just to tether?
Another interesting note: Called MetroPCS about adding hot spot plan for this phone and they told me its not possible and I have to get a Quatro or something... That can't be right can it? I thought all modern Android devices with wifi can make wifi-direct or whatever tethering uses...

how to root huawei without computer

Hello all. I have been trying to root my LG Optimus F60(MS395) for days now but have proven unsuccessful. I have the proper LGUnitedMobileDrivers installed on my PC, I have the root zip UNzipped, I have a command terminal open, I have tried PTP and MTP modes and cannot seem achieve root/SU access. The SuperSU app is on my phone but keeps asking to update binary. I have watched a couple tutorials on YouTube and have followed directions on many posts but still no dice. Notsureifuts my PC(Windows 7) or what but I can't get the "copy and paste" part of the rooting process down. I had an LGMS500 that I was able to root and flash w recovery and even bricked it then restored it to KitKat. So I'm a little familiar with some processes but not all. I also have an LG Leon that I want to root to free up bloatware and storage. But that's another mission all together.
Hi, thank you for using XDA Assist. I'm not sure if this is going to work but try this, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2795300 You can ask in that thread if anyone with your specific devices has been successful.
Hello,
I recently purchased an LG phone that came with root access. When I connect my phone via ADB, I can see I am root user by using the whoami command. However, when I try to use certain Applications that require root access (such as Network Signal Guru), it is saying ROOT not found.
I am assuming applications that require root access look for a certain directory or file which I don't have since this phone came pre-rooted. My question is, how can I get my phone to run those applications and if I need any files, how would I go about obtaining them?

I bought this phone pre-rooted. I don't think there is a method available for rooting my LG Fiesta phone. The Root Checker app says my device is not rooted as well. However, using ADB shell on my phone is showing me as root user. I have root access on my phone and can access directories and view files, that otherwise wouldn't be possible if I was a regular user.
See in developer option root access only abd..Change it to adb and apps. Tap 7 tine in about/build to get developer option
