A rom image of your choice
put all these files on your SD card root then power off your phone.
THIS CAN WIPE YOUR DEVICE, IF YOU NEED TO BACKUP DO STEPS 1-13 HERE
1. Hold volume down and power, keep holding volume down till the white screen appears

Koush: for the fake-flash recovery http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=699043
I'm glad you wrote this up. I performed root the exact same way. I still don't know anything about adb, sdk, shell, or whatever. But this way is truly rooting for dummies!, and totally without a PC. I also used rom manager to download my first rom that i flashed. But then downloaded a new one. I plan on using dcupdater for new updates.
This should be a sticky. Rooting for dummies! No PC required.
Sticky this for all of us root wanting fools that have no sense of adb.
This is sooo what I just posted, only you have photos of the recovery screen.

Sure, here you go.
Woot, will be doing this soon.
I hope a 100% Senseless rom comes out.
Thanks for this method with all the images. But, I have been trying all night to gain root. First using Toast's version and adb, and now with your method on my sdcard. Using either method, I never get to a screen where I can choose to update, in step 2. I have the searching for PC36IMG.zip, with the blue progress bar, but it dumps me into this screen:
HBOOT
<VOL UP> to previous item
<VOL DOWN> to next item
<POWER> to select
FASTBOOT
RECOVERY
CLEAR STORAGE
SIMLOCK
HBOOT USB
I've downloaded the file at least twice, but I get the same result. I also flashed the stock RUU between trying Toast's version with adb and yours from the sdcard.
Do you have any idea where I went wrong? Also, is your update.zip Clockwork? (Just curious.) I'm not a complete beginner at this, as I have a Hero and was able to flash custom ROMs to it...
Thanks for any help you can give.

This is happening to me too.. Though I think it's because I'm already rooted? I did go through Toast's method and looks like I'm rooted, wish there was a way to tell. Also If I load a ROM then check ROM manager to see which rom I'm currently running, nothing is there -just blank.
Settings, About phone, Software information will tell you if it is rooted. Look at build number, should be Fresh Evo 0.2 by flipz or whatever ROM you used.
Mine says Fresh Evo 0.2 but during the root process it skips [8] TP and bypasses [9] TP, wondering if something is wrong with the root process? Also my sd card seems to have lost all my backup data and when I connect to pc it says my card has issues. Do I have a problem?
Did it, worked 100% easy.
Thanks man.
Are you supposed to be able to open (explore) the PC36IMG.ZIP file through Windows? I have downloaded it 12 times from 4 different places and the message says the file is invalid. I haven't put it on my SD yet, this is just on my PC.
Edit: Well, I tried doing the update to root with the downloaded PC36IMG.ZIP file and all I get is a non-rooted wiped clean EVO after it does the update.
Can someone please download load PC36IMG file "now" (not try a previous version) and see if it corrupt and also see if you can open already downloaded one through windows as a zip file.
Thanks....

I think that's what I have too: "a non-rooted wiped clean Evo." I never had the prompt to say yes to update or yes to reboot. I'm not a total n00b at this. I was able to successfully root and put Fresh's ROM on my Hero. I thought maybe it was adb drivers, but I can use my Evo in disk mode, and run HTC Sync. (I have no use for HTC Sync.)
I'd love to try d/ling the file, but my dsl is down. I've spent the last 2 hours troubleshooting it and arguing with Qwest. They've finally agreed it might be their problem and are coming out to fix it. I NEED root so I can us WiFi tether!

I just tried to open my pc36img.zip file off my sd card, the one that I used to root and it says that it's inva'id. I think it's because it's not really a zip file. The one your downloading is fine.

Automatic updates and create update patches with wyBuild.
After hours of trying to figure out a way to make Mast3rpyr0's batch files work correctly, I noticed it had problems sending certain commands. So I decided to use some of his batch file codes, and create a VB.NET application along with batch files. I have unrooted and rooted my personal phone multiple times trying to get this to work. I tested the app 3times!! Each time Unrooting my phone! All three times its has been successful!
What exactly does this do?
Exactly what it say, Root your EVO in 3 Steps.
How do you use it?
Make sure your phone is on USB Debug mode. (MENU > Settings > Applications > Developement > USB debugging = Checked ) Click the buttons starting from Step 1.
Why the large file size?
This includes all the .img and .zip files that are needed to root. (2 PC36IMG.zip @ ~ 170MB = 340mb) and a couple of other smaller files. I decided to add them to make things more simple and avoid having to explain where to get these files.

If you have downloaded this program before, please read this
Note: Its recommended to flash a custom ROM. Reason I say this is because for whatever reason, the eng-image doesnt allow proper SU permission!!
Requires: Dot Net Framework 4 and HTC SYNC
I would try it if I didn't fully root yesterday. But props to you guys for putting that together. Seems like a one step jailbreak. Very nice.
WOW! Great work. This will unlock NAND too? If so you might want to update your thread title....
jiqqaman said:

FOLLOW THE DIRECTIONS!! IF IT SAYS DONT MOVE YOUR MOUSE, DONT CLICK ANYTHING, DONT TOUCH YOUR KEYBOARD... THEN DONT!!!!
The reason for this is because for some reason a batch file cant send the command
Code:
adb shell cat sdcard/flash_image > /data/flash_image
The only way I found to get around that was using Sendkeys. I know, send keys is lame, and poor programming, but its the only way that I could get this to work.
Basically, Sendkeys sends keystokes to a targeted window, as if you were typing. You might see your keyboard NumLock, Caps light blink while this is being used, which is perfectly normal. (Enjoy the light show)

That's because the windows shell interpreter parses the redirect as belonging to the Windows system, not the android system. So it's trying to redirect the output to c:/data/flash_image or some such nonsense. Since Windows doesn't do / for it's directory structure, but instead uses \ it gacks trying to find the directory to put it in (which would be wrong even if it worked, since it would be on your hard drive, not the phone). You can change the cat line to this:
Code:
adb shell cp /sdcard/flash_image /data/flash_image
and it should work just as well. Anytime you use a redirect in a batch script like that it's going to try and redirect to Windows. If it wasn't my day off and I wasn't so tired I might figure out a fix for that, but the code I posted above should do the trick well enough. I wasn't sure initially why people wanted to to read the file into another one in the first place, but I did it with cp when I rooted and it worked fine. I suggest testing it, and then possibly changing your program. That way you can get rid of sendkeys and people breaking root by clicking something when it's running
this is amazing. too bad noobs like myself could not wait to root and unlock nand. but the process was well worth it. great job, i hope this save someone a headache

Hi,
If I do this method will I be able to load custom Roms following these steps? I found these on another site and I am a noob so this one step thing would be great for me to get my feet wet...but the whole reason I would root is so that I could try another ROM...
Here are the steps I found...earlier it said I needed adb and sdk tools so I'm not sure if below will work if I don't have that installed on my computer.
Choose a ROM you want to try. Download it and save it to your computer (do NOT extract it, leave it as a .zip)
2. Plug the phone in via USB cable and mount the sd card so we can transfer files to it.
3. Copy the ROM .zip file and save it to the root of the sd card (NOT in any folders just on the sd card itself). Once it is done copying, unplug the phone from the usb cable.
4. Turn off the phone, then turn it back on by holding down Volume Down and Power until the white bootloader screen comes up (if it finds the PC36IMG.zip on your sd because you didn’t delete it, just say NO when it asks you if you want to update). Now using the volume buttons select Fastboot, then select Recovery and wait for the phone to boot into recovery mode.
5. Scroll to Wipe Data, select wipe data/factory reset and then select wipe dalvik cache.
6. Now scroll to Apply .zip from sd card and select the ROM .zip file we saved to the sdcard and wait for it to finish flashing. Once it is done, hit reboot and you are all set! Enjoy!
OP theres an updates restore image much better options from armon .02 works for people who have bad sectors ALLOT of us have
but 01 is for those who dont try that first

1. The program includes adb, just download, unzip and run Simple Root.exe
2.Yes you will be able to install custom roms after you have completed the all the steps.
3. Those are not complete steps, but its sorta on the right track... have you done the first part of root?
great job on making this easy guys.... To bad I couldnt wait longer than a week to root.

Thanks for the quick reply. No, I am a new EVO owner and this is my first android phone. I was an iPhone user but I have come over to the Android side. No regrets. I have basically a new EVO with the OTA update installed. So my goal would be to run your one click method and then learn how to load roms. I also read that people have some kind of rom loader on their phone that sounded pretty easy so I need to do more searching on the forums here so I can learn.
Ken
This would have saved me 3 hours....
Thanks dude though this seems awesome.
Videos are titled "Hero 4g" btw.
Part 1 worked for me but part 2 doesn't. When I click yes on part 2 I get a screen that says "Unhandled exceptin has occured" and it gives me a option to continue or quit and I click continue and it closes out.
Does this method work if I already have the .6 stock rom on my device?
I asked this here yesterday and got some good responces, so thank you, I then figured out how to do it, and was shocked at how easy it was. This is the logo I set now.

here is the bin file to flash if you like mine: https://www.dropbox.com/s/yye2cnbezuwwxcu/logo.bin Below are the steps to create your own super easily. If anyone does not have photoshop, feel free to pm me your image and i'll do the tweaks so you can flash it.
1. create a 540X540 image
2. merge into 1 layer
3. go to the channel mixer (image > adjustments > channel mixer)
4.select red output channel and change the red value to 0 and the blue value to 100
5. select the blue channel and change red to 100 and blue to 0
6. hit OK, note that the colors will look weird now, but will show correctly on the phone
7. save image with .raw extension
8. rename the output file to logo.bin
9. to make things easier, move it to the same folder as fastboot so that you will not have to type directory names, or you can type out the whole directory.
10. turn off your phone and turn on while holding both volume buttons, chose AP fastboot
11. open a command window in the same folder as fastboot and type
Code:
fastboot flash logo.bin logo.bin
it will take a second or two, then when it succeeds, reboot to see your new logo!
Thanks for this.I'm diggin the new boot logo.

You should be fine even if you screw it up badly, as long as you type the the right fastboot command. don't try to flash this over system or something. even if it does go wrong, your logo would just be bad, and you could flash the default one that is included in all the fxz downloads floating around. this is a very simple tweak, so there is not much risk. worst case, you flash back to stock with the fxz and you are totally normal, but I see no reason that would have to happen. the development forum is more for advanced stuff like rom development
Finally got around to trying this looks awesome..... I got the boot animation where Andy zaps the apple fits perfect.....

9. to make things easier, move it to the same folder as fastboot so that you will not have to type directory names, or you can type out the whole directory.
10. turn off your phone and turn on while holding both volume buttons, chose AP fastboot
11. open a command window in the same folder as fastboot and type
Code:
fastboot flash logo.bin logo.bin
it will take a second or two, then when it succeeds, reboot to see your new logo!

will this remove Rethink possible logo which comes after dipping M logo.
no. that is the boot animation. this only gets rid of the boot logo which is the solid m. you can easily change the animation.

I asked this here yesterday and got some good responces, so thank you, I then figured out how to do it, and was shocked at how easy it was. This is the logo I set now.
here is the bin file to flash if you like mine: https://www.dropbox.com/s/yye2cnbezuwwxcu/logo.bin Below are the steps to create your own super easily. If anyone does not have photoshop, feel free to pm me your image and i'll do the tweaks so you can flash it.
1. create a 540X540 image
2. merge into 1 layer
3. go to the channel mixer (image > adjustments > channel mixer)
4.select red output channel and change the red value to 0 and the blue value to 100
5. select the blue channel and change red to 100 and blue to 0
6. hit OK, note that the colors will look weird now, but will show correctly on the phone
7. save image with .raw extension
8. rename the output file to logo.bin
9. to make things easier, move it to the same folder as fastboot so that you will not have to type directory names, or you can type out the whole directory.

If you put the file in the same folder as fastboot you can just type in the filename instead of typing out a long path to another folder.

You are simply flashing it with fastboot. If you are gonna do this stuff, I would recommend you get familiar with fastboot and working with command line in general.
Anyways, just open a command prompt window in the same folder as fastboot and type fastboot flash logo.bin "name of your image.bin"
Yesterday I tried to update my phone, after reboot in install the new version, it gave me a red triangle and didn't boot anymore, I tried to recover but didn't work, I tried to reset the mobile to factory settings but it didn't work, I feel like I need to install the original rom but I don't know how, any body can help? but know that I can not boot the phone at all, so it's not like upgrading to new version, it's like installing new rom through the computer, thank you very much in advance
Note: I didn't root my phone

this is the answer for both of you gentlemen:
-firmware ics saga is over 400 mb in size
-you can get it from htc dev web site
-it is an < EXE > file
-you start it on the pc ( by double clicking the icon ),
with your phone connected ( wired) in fastboot mode,
-you need to have htc drivers installed (pc )

you can flash RUU, if done properly, you`ll be able to boot the system,
and then all else...
Three questions first:
0.is your device carrier locked ( branded )
1. do you know exactly the system version your device is running at the moment?
2. are you able to reboot in to bootloader?
3.have you installed fastboot and adb drivers yet?
Now if these three ( 1.2.3. ) questions are answered < yes >

ANSWER:
0. I dont know that mate, but its doesnt mattew will be lockder or not, i just want to Turn it on, because phone is not mine
1. I dont know what version is runing on this devices, while his working
2. If you ask me whether I am able to: when I hold volume down + power we go mode, and then choose fastboot, and then show me the red "fastboot usb" and down below says Bootloader, reboot, reboot bootloader, power down. I hope I've given you the answer.
3. I installed HTC Sync and fastboot and adb.
Then i have downloaded this RUU. "RUU_Saga_S_HTC_Europe_2.10.401.8_Radio_20.4801.30.0822U_3822.10.08.04_M_release_225161_signed.exe"
And when I run RUU which I removed, attach cell phone, put it in the "fastboot usb" and continue with the RUU, get me "Image version 1.47.401.4 and below we provide the option to update, when I click on the update says" From 1.47.401.4, it 2.10.401.8. Then click next and next again, then it says Checking ...... and rebooting to bootloader .............. And that is more than 10 minutes and nothing happens, mob still standing in that mode in which a man stood "Fastboot USB" and the like, and an application does not pass "rebooting to bootloader": (

I removed the HTC SYNC. Drivers were left on the computer.
Again I started RUU, and again the same thing. Stops at "rebooting to Bootloader". When I run cmd and enter "fastboot devices" its show a number of my device, so i mean they have conection with pc.

I've done it yesterday to make sure it is not crap I'm telling you
and it works...
Try I again,
Make sure you do not close RUU installer window,
rom.zip is only temp file and is gone when you exit the program...
If you wouldn't find it,
try windows search for in that folder ( %temp% )
(You may also try another ruu )
Sorry mate my bad, i have close the program before I search for rom.zip file. I have found it its 334mb.

When someone says put on root of sdcard, it just means Not in a folder.
So, rename the rom.zip to PG88IMG
and put it on ur sdcard (not in a folder ) boot into bootloader and bootloader will find PG88IMG and ask to update. select yes and wait for it to finish

Hey guys,
I know its the same with the other tablets but i wanna make one just cause its easier for people.
How to unlock::
1. Turn on your device and then go to settings --> scroll down to about tablet --> Software Information then tap the Build number 7 or 8 times or until it says you unlocked developer options.
2. Go to developer options and tick OEM UNLOCK and then a warning will pop up and just accept it.
3. Turn off your device, then while holding both volume up and down, connect your device to the pc.
4. A New screen should appear saying stuff about custom roms and stuff, Jut hold and press the up button until it resets. ( THis will erase everything on the tablet)
5. if you're like me and set up the tablet and went straightfoward to unlocking the bootloader, follow this guide: https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s8/how-to/how-to-bypass-rmm-prenormal-to-install-t3891193
So you wont have any issues flashing roms a nd stuff and dont have to wait 7 days.
6. Now your bootloader should be unlocked! (To enter download/odin mode: Do the same thing, Turn off the device and hold both volume buttons while connecting to the pc then instead of long pressing up, just press up once.)
How to root:
1. Download the firmware for your your tablet, i dont know if i can link the sites but you can google it.
2. Extract only the AP portion of the firmware.
3. Open up the AP portion with 7-zip or winrar
4. extract the boot.img.lz4 out of the AP file
5. Download Lz4 https://github.com/lz4/lz4/releases to your pc corresponding version.
6. Extract the LZ4 to the same area where the boot.img.lz4 is
7. Open command prompt in that folder and then do
Code:
lz4 boot.img.lz4 boot.img
8. Move the boot.img to your tablet, open up magisk manager then clicked Advanced Settings or Advanced, then untick Perserve AVB 2.0/Dm-verity and FIle Encryption then patch it.
9. Take the patched_magisk out of the tablet to your pc and then rename it from magisk_patched.img to boot.img
10. Use 7-zip or winrar and right click on the boot.img and add to archive
11. Select Tar (This is 7-zip havent tried winrar)
12. Once its complete use odin to flash that boot.tar on the AP Section
13. You should now be rooted

Hi I'm familiar with magisk and oneplus, motorola, htc etc but not with Samsung. How can I still upgrade my device without losing root?
My tab S6 lite, notifies me about an upgrade but it looks like it hasn't got an a and B psystem partition so you can love update en before reboot just use magisk to patch the bootloader and keep root. Any suggestions?

You cannot install the OTA updates if you are rooted.
Only solution:
* back up of your apps and data with Titanium Backup
* clean install of the new ROM (flashing with ODIN), once the new firmware is available on samfrew.com
* patch the boot.img with magisk, so you are rooted again an can install Titanium
* restore te apps and data with Titanium Backup
Maybe someone can make an update script once we have a TWRP-recovery.

If you do not buy new devices for sometimes years and are not a native English speaker it can be very hard to figure out what is being written in abbreviations.
ibb.co/XtDpjcT
Hopefully the picture shows however its just a SS of my Root Checker app showing that it is indeed possible to root the tab 6 lite (or at least SM-P610). Since there are plenty of easy to follow guides regarding how to unlock the boot loader for this device i'm going to skip past that part and jump into what actually gave me 12+ hours of frustration.
Once the boot loader is unlocked it is time to find the stock firmware for this device (which I feel its necessary to mention that there are 2 that are almost identical save for literally one number).
1. XAR-P610XXU1BTI3-20200924123941 <---- WRONG!
2. XAR-P610XXU2BTI3-20200924123941 <----- RIGHT!
once you have the correct firmware as seen above and its downloaded onto your computer open the compressed file (I used WinRAR) and you should see 4 different files.
1. AP_P610XXU2BTI3_CL19529942_QB34299355_REV00_user_low_ship_meta_OS10.tar.md5
2. BL_P610XXU2BTI3_CL19529942_QB34299355_REV00_user_low_ship.tar.md5
3. HOME_CSC_OMC_OXM_P610OXM2BTI3_CL19529942_QB34299355_REV00_user_low_ship.tar.md5
4. CSC_OMC_OXM_P610OXM2BTI3_CL19529942_QB34299355_REV00_user_low_ship.tar.md5
The file needed in the next step is the one I have listed as number 1 (beginning with AP). Select just that one and extract it to your desktop. At this point you are going to need a compression software (I used 7Zip which is free). Once you have 7Zip installed right click on the AP file that's on your desktop and just below the open with option you should see an option that says 7 Zip with and extendable sidebar. On that same sidebar the first option you should see is "Open Archive" which you will want to select.
You should now be looking at a window with 8 files and 1 folder however the only file you should be concerned with is the one named "boot.img.lz4". **this is where it gets kinda funky if your not overly familiar with this process**
At this point you will want to go to github.com/lz4/lz4/releases and scroll down a little until you see a download link for a file "lz4_win64_v1_9_2.zip". Once downloaded open the zip and extract the entire folder to your desktop (it should be named LZ by default).
Open the LZ folder and take the "boot.img.lz4" file you extracted earlier and copy it into the LZ folder. Once copied simply Drag and drop "boot.img.lz4" onto the .exe called "lz4". If done correctly a new file should suddenly appear in the same folder that is now simply named "boot" but you will notice that it is now in a Disk Image File format.
(at the end of the guide ill put a URL for a video which shows exactly what I just described here, please follow the video if there is any confusion).
At this point you are going to connect your tab 6 lite to your computer and if it hasn't been done already turn on USB debugging from the developers option and install any drivers needed. Once your tablet and computer are able to communicate (i.e you can open your tablet as a drive on your computer) you will want to copy the "boot" file from the previous step into someplace you will remember (I used my downloads folder). Once onto the tablet you will now download and open Magisk Manager and proceed to patch only this one specific file that you have copied over.
Once patched you should see a copy of the boot file in your downloads folder which will now be named "Magisk_Patched". take this newly patched file and copy in onto your computers desktop.
Rename "Magisk_Patched" to "boot.img" and then right click the file. Again you will want to hover over the 7 Zip option however this time you are going to select the option "add to archive..." which is about halfway down the list. Once selected a new window will come up which will allow you to set the format to .tar. with the name set to boot.tar and .tar selected as the format hit the OK button and on your desktop a new WinRAR Archive file should appear named boot.tar.
Now is when you can finally boot your tablet into Odin mode and open Odin as an Administrator (I used the latest version 3.14.4). Once Odin recognizes your device select the AP button and select the newly created boot.tar as your input (The file location should look similar to this C:\Users\Owner\Desktop\boot.tar provided you saved everything on your desktop like I did).
Once loaded into Odin select the options tab and UN-select Auto Reboot and F. Reset Time before hitting the Start option.
At this point if you did everything correct you should see the boot file being flashed onto the device. Once completed with no errors boot the device into the normal stock recovery and wipe the Cache and then factory reset the device. On the next boot up you should see in addition to the normal "boot loader is unlocked blah blah blah" another message that says you have an illegitimate copy of android on your device and that it may not function or update properly.
Just ignore the message and after a few moments the device should continue to boot into the initial set up page. Work your way through the set up and go online to re-download Magisk Manager. This time when you open the app for the first time it will give you a dialog box that says that the Magisk Operation is incomplete and will ask you if you want to complete it. Agree to complete the process and it will auto run in the background for a moment before it shows completed.
It was finally at this point that I ran Root checker and was met with the very first picture in my post. The biggest Issue I found in all of this was the fact that aside from one single comment in a post here on xda, nowhere else does it explain that you need to extract the boot file, convert it first into an img, THEN patch it, THEN flash it..... smh I cant tell you how many times I wiped my device and had to flash the stock recovery until I got this. I hope this helps you guys moving forward and doesn't just cause more confusion but here are all the links to the videos and files I referenced in order that I mentioned them!
