First things first, wrong forum to post in.
Secondly, is it (Status 7) error? Do you have cache error in your recovery before you even started to flash?

Okay sorry for wrong Forum. Pls move it .
I cant see which error cause the msdos Windows close immeditly after starting the bat file. And the device is rebooting.

Oh, you can try rooting manually instead of using one click root? It should work that way.

I would try this but there is only a how to for Linux and mac. How to manually root the device with Windows 7?

As soon as I restarted the xoom couldnt get past the video introduction.
Now, I have tried getting into recovery and doing factory reset and everything but I cannot seem to get past the video..
I am genuinely scared if I bricked the tablet...
Any help will be very much appreciated.

Hi Cozzeck,Can you possibly post a link for a guide to flashing back to stock? I don't want to mess it up further by doing something wrong.
And also, do you advice to try and root it again after fixing it?
Thank you, in advance...

Like you read up, you need to back to stock and do the procedure to root again.
Look for the stock image on the android development section, install it by clockwork recovery, and after get on stock do the procedure for root again.
If you have question u can PM me.
See ya!

I used SuperOneClick to root my LG Optimus 2X. It was nice and easy with help from the tutorials you can find on the web.
rootme.bat via recovery and adb
Sent from my GT-S7500 using xda app-developers app
Used toolkits, both found here, for both of my devices: RAZR XT910 and Nexus 7. Worked flawlessly the first time.
I've rooted my Desire with the unrevoked/revolutionary guide here on xda forums, quite a while back ago. Used CWM recovery afterwards. Flawless process.
The One V was also rooted with the guide here on xda, the easy one with htcdev. Not the hard root. My friend didn't want the hard root so I followed his orders, since it was his phone. Also flawless.
Kernel
I flashed pre-rooted kernel

I used exynos abuse app on my note 2 and then installed twrp.

Hello there, noob here, just made the switch from iphone to Note 2 and I'm loving it. I was very familiar with the jailbreaking process of the iphone and now I'm trying to learn how to do the same with my Note2.
I see there are a lot of variants depending on the carrier so I did some research and finally found what I needed to root note 2 SGH-i317 (ATT), used Odin and CWM and everything went very smooth, now I have a rooted note2 confirmed with the root_checker app.
On problem though, when I try to get into TRWP recovery mode so I can install roms/kernells if I do the Volume_up + Home+ power, I only get a black screen. Can't get into it and don't know what to do. My phone works fine though.
Any suggestions?
Should I re-root? Is it possible?
thanks in advance

So you already flashed CWM? Then Download the ZIP file of SuperSU and Flash it with CWM?
Also i Recommend a XDA thread instead of youtube since XDA thread are more secure.
I've tried to flash but its not working.

Are you sure its not already ready to go since you rooted if so just download supersu from the google play store and see if that works.
It downloaded but now it says I don't have root access.

I would re-flash the recovery and the cache.img. If that doesn't work, try another recovery like TWRP or CWM and see if it works there. If that doesn't work, try flashing the factory image.
from my experience the nexus 5 dosen't support mounting via recovery..

Not to a PC, no, but he means mount the /data partition so the phone can write to it.

So you dont want me to help? I give you the answer and you throw it back in my face?
...and yes, you should know how to fastboot flash any partition before rooting. Its in the "read this before rooting" thread stuck at the top of this forum. If someone tells you to flash a cache.img - you should no what that means. If someone then tells you how to do it, you shouldn't come back with ridiculous comments.
Some people aren't worth helping. You'll receive nothing from me again.
No I wouldn't have replied in the s4 forum. I had an s3 and I would have replied like this too. You're supposed to arm yourself with basic knowledge before rooting. Everyone here is sick and tired of helping people who can't be bothered reading sticky threads.

Man I do appreciate the help but like I said I do know how to fastboot I was not asking how,just which file to use. I understand people get tired but is someone not allowed to overlook or just plain old,have a bad day.I am no newbie I've helped plenty of people with their s4's,evo3d and other phones hence why I have 6,0000 thanks.everything was going wrong yesterday and for some reason the simplist stuff was hard.But anyways sorry if I said something I shouldn't have,I just hate when you guys think everyone asking for advice or help was a noob

[Q] Quick root question

Hey! when ifirst got my nexus 5 (few months ago) i rooted it and instaled purity rom with trinity kernel and everything worked fine,
how ever like a month ago when i updated my kernel, when i launch supersu it saids no su binary installed please re root. at the time i didnt care so i just left it but know i would like to root it again (its weird if my phone is not rooted how do i still have purity rom and stuff like that)
anyway is there a way i can reroot without losing ANYTHING? i spent way to many hours setting up my nova launcher settings and stuff that that because im a theme whore lol
i haven't been keeping up with the latest stuff so let me know! thanks
PS im not using my own computer so if i reroot do i have to install all the adb drivers and stuff on this pc?
Hi,
Same thing happened to me, just flash SuperSU in recovery: http://download.chainfire.eu/382/SuperSU/UPDATE-SuperSU-v1.93.zip, it should do the trick.

Amazing! worked perfectly thanks for quick reply !! woot!
just so you know as well... root is independent of ROMs. you can have custom ROMs without root.
And also its not rooting that wipes a device, its unlocking the bootloader
