Can't root a sgh 959v

I've tried to follow every single how to on here and I could not get my dad's galaxy s rooted. Its running KB5 2.2.1
Zergrush failed
I can't find a rooted rom that I can flash through odin
I can't find a one click rom to work with heimdall
Manual rooting didn't work
how the heck do I get this thing rooted? most of the DL links are pointed at multiupload and there are no good sources to get rooted roms from. Help me please.

Since you are on KB5....
You should go ahead an update your dad's phone to the newest official ROM - Gingerbread 2.3.6. Here is a simple guide for you to follow -

I recommend you stop after you update to Gingerbread and root the phone. Since it is not your phone I don't think you need to mess around with custom ROMs.
Good luck and let us know if you need more help.

Yep no custom roms for him. When I get it rooted I'm going to remove bloat with Titanium. I'll try this out and let you know.

I personally use System ROM Toolbox. TB seems to need to reboot for me when removing system .apk's, whereas with System ROM Toolbox batch remove the bloat... and if you decide to use a custom kernel to get CWM FB's DeBloater is really the easiest.

Samsung Galaxy S 4G
Woe dude...I feel for you. I had my SGS4G for 3 days now and just got it rooted about 20 minutes ago. Mine is running KJ6 2.3.6 Naturally, when we get our brand new toys instinct hits manual over-ride and we find ourselves tryna root it as soon as we wlked through the door - LOL! It's true - I did the same thing and hit a brick wall just like you did. And for the life of me I just couldn't figure out what I was doing wrong - and tryna figure out what I should have done that I wasn't doing. Sounds about right??? Okay, almost by complete accident I found out what I was doing wrong - lol - I tried to root my phone on a XP Pro OS!!! (Sounds Crazy Don't It?!) NOT ONE ROOT APPLICATION WORKED UNTIL I SWITCHED MY OS !!!
As soon as I slapped Super One Click 2.3.3.-Short Fuse on a Micro SD, and tried it again on a Vista 32-bit OS, the process took every bit of 3 1/2 minutes!!! Either way it goes, I hope my info can benefit you or someone reading in some way...
Til the next - HAPPY ROOTIN !!!

LOL I was about to post the same thing

So I just picked up an Asus EEE Transformer..

Running Android ICS 4.0.3 and Build Number IMLL74K.US_epad-9.2.1.21-20120413
Every method of rooting I find has nothing to do with ICS, could someone help me on my marry way, I would really appreciate it. I just want to do a basic root, so that I can maybe change the kernal and pep up the CPU a bit.
Help would be rewarded :-D

ViperMod in the Prime form works for all but the latest firmware otherwise you have to downgrade first
And for future reference search first and questions go in Q&A not themes and apps

Sorry about posting in the wrong forum, I should know better, but I have tried downgrading and it does not work, it seems like once you are on 4.0.3 you are stuck. I just tried this method right here and got nowhere, it says nothing about an update being available...

Thanks and I did thank you, I am trying this now, I am guessing I want ICS .11, since that one is still rootable. I am trying it now, I cant believe I got this it was already on 4.03. Why do people upgrade just to upgrade... jerks.
I will let you know how this goes.

I think .17 is rootable with ViperMod also or you could just do Wolf's method 3 which let you install the recovery blob via abd and flashing the su afterward with cwm

Yeah, I actually went with the .11 Blog backup, and then rooted it without any problem at all, now just what to do, what to do... I do appreciate everyone who helped out, thanks much.

how to root mz617 droid xyboard 10.1 with ice update

I can't find any thread that points to rooting droid xyboard 10.1 verizon 4g LTE model with ics update. I have the verizon xyboard 10.1 mx617 32 gb version in 4G LTE . I just got an ICS update but I don't see any info in rooting the device. if such method exists, please point me to the right direction.
Thanks in advance

Please post questions in the Q&A section. Thanks!
Thread moved.

I guess either no one wants to help me or no root option is available for this device on ICS at the moment.

if you still need direction...
I used the DroidRazrUtility (from Rosenberg I believe) one click today...was on ICS leak, flashed back to HC (donated to runandhide05 for the fast-boot files) and used Rosenberg's Utility to root, Version 1.80. You can find the fast-boot files in Xoom General here in XDA (if you need them). I Googled Roseberg's Utility, extracted, ran the .bat....rest is history.
i hope this helps you.
CJ
edit: sorry, after i flashed back to HC i updated my XYB to ICS from Motorola...THEN used the Utility...

thanks but it sounds complicated and risky to go back to HC and then root and then reflash to ics. I want a simple ICS root. but thanks, you are the only member who took interest in my thread.

I am so grateful for this site and for people like you. I have wanted to root the xyboard MZ 617 for a long time now. However, I cannot find a reliable method and am very new to rooting. I have been an avid android believer since the first itteration, but have never ventured into the wonderful world of rooting. I have done a lot of research and like that you use Rosenbergs method because he seems like one of the most respected devs out there. What I need, if you please, is a simplified breakdown of EXACTLY what I will need to do in order to root this device. It has been running ICS for a while. I have had a ton of glitches and hardware/software issues. Some of which were repaired by Motorola and the rest Verizon and Moto have pointed the finger at each other and the middle finger at me. I will be quite grateful for your help. Thank you

I am having problems as well with rooting it. I tried Jcase's way, says it cannot find the right directories for the su and lgroot,sh files. Which really is aggravating and I need help.

Do a google search for root master. I used that to root mine and it worked in minutes. If you are having trouble finding it, I can post the URL to get the download. 2 versions are available. I would try to get the english version, as the other is in Japanese. Hope this helps.

Need help with Rooting

Guys I have a HTC ONE MINI 4.3 I want to root it but I dont know how I tryed a lot of softwares and methods can Anyone help me.I tryd the SuperOneClick off your website guys still dosent work

I don't think you'll be able to root being on 4.3. You would have to be on 4.2.2. I'm don't know where you reside but if you can downgrade using RUU then you can use revone to root. However, the only RUU currently available is for AT&T in US.

SuperOneClick didn't work for me either.
It doesn't matter what android version you are running to obtain root.
Ive sent you a pm with a guide to how i unlocked bootloader, installed a custom recovery, rooted device and installed MagioROM.
hope it helps
cheers

Fair point! however i should of stated that it was a link to an external site...not a guide created by myself! i assumed posting links to external sources may be against forum rules ( i may be wrong?)
I agree that it would be of benefit for a full step by step guide to be stickied on this forum, certainly easier for the community to find, unfortunately there isn't a detailed one at the moment.
anyway.... this question is answered many times on this forum and also freely available on google...if you SEARCH (how to root htc one mini) before posting, like i did, then you will find all the information you need.
I apologise if that sounds abrupt, its not meant to. Im trying to help without breaking forum rules

You're right, unlocking bootloader will work regardless the version. I think it's the case to obtain s-off. At least I had that issue.
