I just got a Samsung gem and it is currently running 2.1 need help rooting and installing 2.2. If you know of any programs or know of any site that can help I would be very grateful.
Phone model: Samsung gem SCH-I100
Sadness, no one has replied yet. I have one of these phones too and I want to be able to root it too. I really don't know how to root it or create a method to do it nor create or cook a rom. Let's hope someone does it soon.
I have this phone too. I have tried many ways to root this phone and none has work thus far. Methods I tried are z4root, SuperOneClick, and Universal Androot.
none of these methods works for the samsung gem running on eclair... i am unsure of the one running Froyo on US Cellular tho
try z4root or superoneclick

I've tried both. Z4root doesn't work and superoneclick doesn't give permanent root. I've been able to root w/ superoneclick and somehow the root disappears randomly without even being rebooted.
Same thing happens to me with superoneclick root.
And unless you have a CellularOne version of the Gem, you don't want to install Android 2.2 from the Samsung site. It will break the Market and it also makes the 3G fail intermittently.
Yes u can put 2.2 on gem goto Samsung site for update like I did months ago
Samsung.Com then I have ntelos so I used generic ruu update and gem much better faster gps works too

which version of soc did you use? someone just gave me a gem to root for them and im about to try it now. i'll let you know how i did it, even if i have to do it myself via sdk.
edit: the gem i have is running 2.1 update 1, i used superoneclick version 2.1.1 (at the bottom of the thread in attached files) it went off without a hitch.

i have looked everywhere and not even this site tells me how to root my galaxy player 4 (yp-gb1). its pretty confusing lol. i have tried z4root and superoneclick and neither of them worked for me :/. any help guys? people tell me i have to wait until it releases in america, but i don't think it will anytime soon. can someone look into this because i've been waiting for about 5 months to root this now.
what android version?
.
yup its android

ahh..none of them worked. any other suggestions?
is there a way to manually root it?
hi EKsandcake, I am also owing a YP GB1 too, I have not rooted it yet and still waiting for the method!!
haha, just wondering. have you found any method to root it yet? superoneclick and so many others never work..do you have any experience with other android devices? or is this your first one?
Nope, i am using stock room now,
This is my first Android device. I just switched from Symbian
Have you tried searching YouTube. That's where I find alot of info on rooting. Good luck
I'm afraid we'll really have to wait until the 4.0 and the 5.0 get released in the US. Hopefully then we'll get the pros developing these devices, if they become popular enough. And Apple won't interfere with sales as they did with the galaxy tab 10 and 7 in Germany...
When rooting: have you tried rooting from a mac or a pc? I understand that there are some differences.
Hey guys, the YB G70 (5 inch version) has been rooted successfully.

Hello experts!
I would like to add up to the other related threads and ask for development (roms&root) for the Samsung Galaxy S WiFi 4/5.0 PMP. It's related to the SGS as you know, but even with android market a lot of apps, like supercurio's Voodoo control, or other PMP-relevant apps are unaccesible on this devices. They will get released soon to the US (hopefully) so I hope they'll become popular enough for developing.
Thanks!
You have to root these players with superoneclick http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=803682
Thanks, I'll try it. This http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=17236337 other workaround doesn't seem to work, someone else tried that.
Can Galaxy S WIFI be rooted? I am thinking of buying one if it has been successfully done.
yes, i've rooted mine with superoneclick
let's see http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1141893
SuperOneClick works for getting ROOT. Just make sure to have USB Debugging on and Kies not running.
Bump!
This device really needs the attention of developers, etc.
The U.S. version currently runs on 2.3.5 and can not be rooted for some reason.
It can also not be downgraded to the rootable 2.2 firmware for the international versions! This could be a great device for people who don't want a phone, but it needs to be rootable. Please help!

I have a US Version running 2.3.5 GINGERBREAD, and you can root it using "DooMLoRD_v1_ROOT-zergRush-busybox-su" Google it. It is also on this forum.

Yes, me too and you might want to give it the right name - it is the Samsung Galaxy Player 5 without the S (the S probably confuses some as there is no way to use it as a phone).
I have a custom 2.3 ROM on my international player and I rooted it fine with super one click.
Could anyone possibly send me links or tell me how I could root my huawei fusion? I've tried superoneclick and no root. Gingerbreak and no root and I can't flash it to Clockwork either. Can anyone give me some help?

How do you root the ZTE Compel running Android Kitkat 4.4.2?
Here is how I got the phone and why I need to root it.
My parents got me my first android phone for my birthday and I thought "Hey the ZTE Compel looks good. Its got the latest version and everything" I was so wrong. It came with 4GB of storage(The OS took 3GB) and it won't let me do anything with this 32GB SD(or any SD) I have. I can't put any apps on SD so I decided to root. I am decent in Linux so I already know what rooting is. So I download towelroot and its not compatible with my phone. Tried all the modstrings. They all froze. Also I can't seem to find a manual method. Can anyone out there help me root my ZTE Compel?
Seriously.
Its been like a24 hours now and not even a reply saying "I don't know about the phone." I posted this thread hoping to find some expert out there who knew. Im good at computer programming and decent in Linux, but no way an expert in android. If some expert out there sees this maybe you root this phone the exact same way as another new less common ZTE phone.
Thanks.

Thanks but I have already tried that . Any other method or a modstring that works? Temp root modstring won't even work.
Im getting impatient now.
Its hard to believe that some phones can be rooted in just 1 click and I have tried a lot of things but if you have something(even if it requires a computer) please let me know.
Thanks.

I too need help to root ATT Compel. I've tried kingroot Towel, Superoneclick. Not tech enough to understand how to use manual.
I have the same issue. I thought this being a newer phone it would be looked into.

Yes please someone root this phone or find a way to get rid of all the crap that comes preloaded on it. I had to buy this phone because my SGS4 broke and I'm not up for the promotion price for a new one. Got this phone and its a powerful little phone. But man is the internal memory crap and it doesn't support app2sd. So I am always running into insufficient storage problems. I would appreciate someone rooting this device. Whoever roots this device or sends me info on how to root it successfully you got my donation. That's a promise.
Oh and I have tried towelroot, root genius and basically searched the web and there is very little talk on this phone. Maybe it is still too new. Obviously it is not a SGS5 or a Nexus but it is still a cost efficient phone with a quad core processor. Besides its horrible limited built-in storage its a great phone without having to be locked into a contract. Its limited storage can be easily fixed by adding the app2sd feature or just giving us root. That would help a lot. If a dev couple step in and help us out that would be great. You'll have my donation.

Mark me down under 'also interested in this.'
I'm also waiting to find a rooting solution on this phone.... Here's hoping someone is cool enough to help us Compel owners out!
Doesn't look like they are interested in advancing the Z830.
Hi Boys. This Lady Is Your Savior.
Awesome. Ironically I decided to trade it in for an Asus PadFone X Mini. Now I am waiting for root on that. Just did the trade 2 days ago. The irony. However I said I would donate and I am a man of his words. Send me a PayPal or Google wallet link. You deserve a coffee. Thanks!

So where's the help? I don't see any post or nothing in your post...
Please help!:crying:
Near as I can tell, no one has found an exploit by which to gain root on the ZTE z830 Compel. That's why none of the downloadable root-kits work on it. The "manual method" (as worked on my ZTE Valet) of copying SU & such over using adb, then changing their file permissions won't work for the same reason... There has to be something to exploit in order to get temporary permissios to muck about in the OS files.

I have 3 elite 7q tablets. I rooted one with kingo and have had no problems at all. I tried to root another that my daughter uses the same way but kingo will freeze mid way. I tried many times with different programs and apps until I finally gave up. Maybe try an older version of kingo. I dont remember which version i used as it was about 6 months ago. The new version of kingo declares my rooted 7q as unsupported. Hope this helps and good luck
