[Q] ive concluded that frg83d droid 1 is impossible to root. - Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]

yep, ive tried everything. been trying for 2 days now, no sleep.
z4root doesnt work, easyroot doesnt work, manually doing it myself doesnt work...
all i want is superuser access to use rooted apps. thats it... i want to keep my original android version, just with su. dont want to flash any rom or anything. all i want is su, and no method at all has worked so far...

Did you make sure you had the appropriate drivers installed when you were doing easy root? how about usb debugging?

[Q] Root for 2.2.1?

I just got my infuse yesterday, i tried using the rage against the cage root program(infuserootunlock), but even after installing kies and my drivers. it still says error: device not found. But, i can adb to the device.. So, after trying that a couple times(none being successful). I decided to use superoneclick, which has now frozen pushing su-v2... Im hoping it will work, but i dont see anything happening on the phone...
What can i do to root? Can i push an update.zip? Ive had a captivate and it was reletively easy to do.

When you root the Infuse you will not see anything happening on the phone screen itself.
If you cannot root and all else fails, here is a way you can over come the problem: You can put your phone into "download" mode and flash this froyo 2.2.1 odin flash rom from this link:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1116251&highlight=unbrick
I know your phone is NOT bricked but if you read all the information in the link above you will see that if all else fails and you cannot root, just follow the step by step guide in the link using Odin3 (tar file rom flasher).
After you flashed the phone you can simply use the superoneclick to root it.
I have done this several times already. After you root it and install Rom Manager you will be able to install/flash custom roms the zip file method which all the devs here use for their custom roms.
Hope this helps.
Good luck.
I had that same problem. I uninstalled and reinstalled the drivers. Tried bout everything I could think of even different usb port. It took alot of trial and error to be honest I dont even know what I did. Just that I finally got it to work. Both the one click and the unlook/root.
It took me 4 tries with super one click. I unplugged - remounted then unmounted SD card - switched USB ports and it finally took.

Try flashing rooted xxpk4, it sure will work. link: http://narod.ru/disk/23912318001/I9001XXKP4Rooted.rar.html or this: https://www.file1.info/album/uiZ1jTJ/BvaLSsL and this: http://www.megaupload.com/?d=PF6ULMID.....take 1 link
Im sorry but I didn't really understand
1. Did you try to root your phone? And now you want to go back to stock?
2. You managed to root, but it's stock after reboot? Only the superuser app left, but no root rights? And you want it removed? If so, the solution is simple. Menu-->Settings-->Applications-->Manage applications. Scroll down until you find it.
are you sure its going to work for my galaxy s plus?sorry about my worries byt i have read so many things that i am so confused if you can answer me if its going to work for greece and if you can point my to the procedure???
thanks so much for your answer i am waiting for your answer
i tryed to root with cfroot multi downloader....after reboot i saw the superuser icon in menu but none commander would work as root.....and i cant remove the superuser app because it isnt in software>programs....so i thought to return to stock and reroot.....
but then i thought to try the last one super one click procedure.all went well i gin root access but my phone went sluggish immidiately so i rebooted....after reboot root was gone......i also ryied easy root unroot with no luck...\and the strange thing is i cant find to application manager
CF-Root? I think CF-root is not for SGS+, but for the normal SGS!
And SOC afaik do not support SGS+ officially.
So just use the rooting-procedure as described here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1253707
i also tried this with no result root and unroot....i cant imagine what else i could do

gain root after odin back to stock

I need to root. After bricking and using odin to get back to stock, my phone wont root again. why, you ask? well, because the phone will not connect to the computer via adb interface. I have usb debugging on, I connect my phone, it installs to the computer, but adb wont work for me. neither will super one click. is there a way to root without using a computer? maybe through terminal emulator? or an app that will work? I know z4 wont work i tried it. someone please give me some advice here. im on xp, i have tried different drivers, tried rebooting the phone, nothing works. please help.

I bricked my sk4g due to bad rom flash. I wanted to try one click unbrick, but couldnt get it to work on my computer. So my only other option was to odin it back to stock. before bricking, i had rooted it with superoneclick. i immediately tried superoneclick after odin. several different things would happen. one, it would go through the whole process and say i was rooted, but root checker pro would say i didnt have root. two, superoneclick would tell me my device was unreadable. i would ignore it and it would go through, but still not rooted. three, superoneclick would hang after killing the adb server. I then attempted to root manually. I downloaded rageagainstthecage and atempted to push it through a command prompt. I have sdk installed and all the other necessary things for a manual root. but when i typed adb devices in command prompt, the list came up empty. i deleted all the drivers, plugged the phone back in, and let the drivers reinstall several times, but my device still will not connect to the adb interface. the drivers are installing, and the usb is connecting through storage mode and firmware update mode, but not through adb no matter what i do. i am on windows xp and i do not have another computer to use. someone please tell me how to root another way or possibly flash a rooted rom through odin. thank you.

And now you should successfully rooted on stock firmware
some of those pages I have already been to. the stock rom you linked is the rom I used to odin my phone. some of those pages were confusing to me, and as far as cwm recovery goes, need root to change recovery binary. before bricking, I had root and cwm. what i need (sorry to sound like such a noob) is a step by step in this thread. please dont post links to me unless they apply to my particular situation. superoneclick, odin, cwm, these are all things i already know how to do. my question is how can i root if my phone wont connect to my pc through adb?
also, odin still recognizes my phone. i can still brick my phone and odin it all day long if i want to. I used the tutorial in one of the links you posted and downloaded the odexed stock rom and followed the tutorial exactly. the phone works, but i cant root it. there has to be someone who can help me figure this out.
bumping this thread hoping someone out there has some useful info for me. thanks
Did you turn on USB debugging?
settings->applications->development->USB Debugging
yes I did. adb is not connecting.
basically what I need is a way to flash a rooted rom through odin or another way to root without using adb. possibly without connecting to the computer, like through terminal emulator or something?
what if I added superuser, busybox, and su to my stock odin rom that I have and just odin again? would that give me root?

You can root the phone fine do it after the odin

PM FOR PSN NEED THE RUN PSN
xtrem88, do you understand what I am saying? I bricked my phone and had to use odin to get it back to stock. now my phone will not root. superoneclick runs, but for some reason doesnt configure root properly. i end up with superuser installed, but no root. when i try to root through command prompt, i type in adb devices and the list comes back empty. what I think I want to do at this point is odin a rooted rom.
Ohhh ok now i get it you got to. Odin it again and do not connect storage
PM FOR PSN NEED THE RUN PSN
I am updating the firmware through kies mini right now, since the firmware i odin'd wasnt the latest. I just unmounted and removed the sd card. are you saying that was the problem before?
Yeah dont use the sd card

I got it rooted. Im on KD1 firmware, but at least I am rooted. I feel like a simpleton, though. Wait till I tell you what the problem was. I was using superoneclick the whole time, and it wasnt working. I re-read the tutorial for the umpteenth time to see if I had missed anything, and it finally dawned on me that each time root had failed, I hadnt rebooted my device after running superoneclick. I just ran superoneclick, it did its thing, I disconnected and rebooted, and voila, I have root. I verified root by going to superuser and updating the su binary. thats how i knew it failed before. each time i would try to update su, it would say obtaining root access and it would fail. this time when it said obtaining root access, superuser asked for permission and i knew I had root. I am so ticked at myself for spending so much time doing it wrong, but so happy that I finally did it right lol. the whole time I thought odin was causing the problem, but im glad to know it wasnt. now i know if i brick my phone again, i can just odin and root and the phone will be back to running and rooted in like 10 minutes.
Lmao

[Q] can i flash new custom rom without root

So,.... messing about as we do, trying to get an app to work that wont work on rooted device, I installed voodoo to temporarily hide my root and it seemed to work.
but now I cant regain root access. 1: Not sure if voodoo is the issue
2: tried all fixes that I could find on here and nothing working for me
Not really an issue at the mo and I'm sure theres a work around but this is quick fix / quick question
Can I just Flash a new custom rom without root access?
I was going to try a different rom anyway. and don't mind losing data, apps etc
just need to know that I can flash without root and not going to get stuck somewhere
Cheers

No you cant you will struck at Samsung logo
Any other views on this?
Is there not an option in Voodoo where you can hit "Restore Root" ?
Yes there is a re-root option in voodoo but this clicking this doesn't give me back root.. Titanium backup tells me I don't have root, as does a root checker basic app i have, tells me I do not have proper root access
Is the SuperSU/Superuser app still installed? If not reinstall it and reboot. Try that.

Rooting Motorola Moto G5 Plus with a non-admin PC?

Hi guys,
im new to XDA but i've been messing with rooting and stuff on a few android phones for a while and recently i got my hands on the new Moto G5 Plus. And ofcourse this thing needs root if it wants to call itself 'my phone' But the problem is here: I dont really have a computer... I saw some tutorials on how to do it but step 1. You have to unlock the bootloader. Im pretty sure this can only be done the official way by using motorola's software so... yeah. Now at school i have a pc but i can't use anything that needs administration rights. It's just ment to use the Internet and such. So i can only use pc programs that don't need an installation or anything. And a step back, you can't even do anything on it with a pc unless you have the drivers. And surprise surprise, you have to install these. On my previous phone, a samsung galaxy S3 neo. I rooted it, installed twrp and cyanogenmod with lollipop 5.0. And without a computer. I rooted it with KingRoot, a oneclickroot program for the people that want to root just for the root acces and dont really care about how it's done and stuff like that. Then with rom manager installed twrp. And with twrp i flashed CM. So i tried OneClickRoot software on my G5 Plus. And it failed. Kingroot, kingoroot, framaroot, baiduroot, towelroot, oneclickroot etc. And all failed, which is probably because it's locked.. Well OFCOURSE that's the reason what am i thinking!? But back to the phone. If anyone has an idea on how to do this if its even possible... Please let me know! I tried everything.. (i think?) I would prefer a way where it only roots so keeps the stock recovery. This way i can still install system updates right? I have no idea..
Thanks alot. PS. Sorry for probably many grammar mistakes.
From the little research that I did, it seems like you HAVE to use a computer to do it. My advice is, since you are still at school, get some friends... that have computers and use it. Another thing that I thought was somewhat bootleg, get another android device and install the fastboot command on it and use a usb otg cable to connect to it. I have adb working as a command, so I guess fastboot could work as well lol.
Good luck!
