Make sure your battery has a decent amount of charge in it, you don't want to run out of juice in the middle of this.
You will need to have the android sdk installed, as you will need to use the adb tool.
Windows users will need to install HTC Sync in order to get the usb driver for the phone installed.
Part 1: In which we find that the Evo spreads easier than a Thai whore during tourist season
Code:
adb shell "rm /data/local/rights/mid.txt"
adb shell "ln -s /dev/mtd/mtd1 /data/local/rights/mid.txt"
adb reboot
Part 2: In which we find that engineers have no personality, but they make one hell of a bootloader
Put the files from Toast's Part 2, for nand unlock onto the sdcard (PC36IMG.zip, mtd-eng.img, recovery.img, flash_image)
then (after making sure the sdcard is remounted to the phone if you used disk mode to xfer the files):
Code:
adb shell "cat /sdcard/flash_image > /data/local/rights/flash_image"
adb shell "chmod 755 /data/local/rights/flash_image"
adb shell "/data/local/rights/flash_image misc /sdcard/mtd-eng.img"
adb reboot bootloader
When asked if you want to update, say yes. Relax for a while, the update takes some time.
When the phone eventually boots back up:
Part 3: In which I find the whore, and make her install a custom recovery
Code:
adb shell "cat /sdcard/flash_image > /data/flash_image"
adb shell "chmod 755 /data/flash_image"
adb shell "/data/flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery.img"
After this you should be fully rooted with nand unlock.
I highly recommend going through Whitslack's Starting Over method to bring your software and radios up to date.
You're done.
Pity this only came to light a few days before people are going to be upgrading to a new OTA.
No, this will not work for anyone who updated to 2.2.
epic!!! 789
niice!
Nice Find!
At least now people can be rooted prior to the new OTA!
damn it!

The init scripts chmod 777 mid.txt on boot (this means that anyone can do anything to the file basically). By removing the file and linking it to mtd1, the chmod now makes mtd1 accessible by everyone after a reboot, which means that you can go directly to toast's part2 which starts with flashing mtd-eng.img.
Incidentally it appears the droid eris guys have been using this flaw to their advantage for a while as well ;D.
So no, really? What is "root?"
You do fine work, sir

Couldn't you then just use wits "start over" method for part two to make the process even shorter?

What would be more interesting is for someone on the new OTA non-root to see if this exists in the Froyo release. I'll look around for a posting of the OTA update non-rooted and try it on my smashed phone. At least I won't care if that thing looses root.
Could we get a "The easiest 1.47.651.1 root method with nand unlock" for dummies? I have no clue what to do with this code.
You need to use an ADB shell for this using the Android SDK....
I tried to use the Evo-Recovery shell and received permission denied errors.
I am not a DEV by any means, and do not claim any credit for any of this. However, for people who need help, this may offer some assistance -- this is definitely the easiest root method out there.
1. Download and Install Android SDK - Learn Here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=694250
2. Open up a Command Prompt by holding windows button & pressing R or by pressing Run and typing CMD.
3. Navigate your way in DOS to the Android SDK folder, then to the Tools Folder
4. Then enter in the code in part 1. After each line press enter...the line will repeat below it.
5. Follow Toasts Part 2 -- Link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=701835 -- Video found here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tUXTB0eydwE.
5A. Because you didn't do Toast's Part 1 of Root first (you used an exploit provided by the OP), you will NOT have a NAND Backup. Put the Custom ROM you want to load on your SD card, and after unlocking NAND protection and doing the wipes, load it from the custom recovery in lieu of restoring your NAND backup.
6. You're now rooted w/ NAND Unlocked!
7. I would then suggest going here, and running this so you have a fully rooted, stock ROM with all your radio/wimax up to date: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=715915.
Anyone know if this method will work on an unrevoked3'd Evo? I am trying to acquire full root and I was going to use SimpleRoot today but if this will work...
Thank you for this! Question about number part 7. YOu suggest running the fully rooted stock 1.47.651.1 afterwards. Would it be a bad idea to Just run the fully rooted stock froyo 3.23.651.3 or even any other custom rom for that matter? i.e OMJ's EVO 2.2 Custom rom? Thanks

No because you need the engineering hboot to flash it since it's not signed by HTC.
Should work on 1.32 or 1.47. Nice.
Someone should test if this still works in the new 2.2 update. Good chance it does.

Hey! That's what I was gonna say!
I've seen that there's no topic teaching how to ROOT the phone in the forum yet, so I'm making one myself, I hope this will help users who come here looking for info.
This method was originally found by jboogie3 here http://modmymobile.com/forums/637-motorola-defy-general/557910-motorola-defy-root-droid2method.html
EDIT: If you have version 2.51 ROOT with another way, check out this topic: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=889133
Let's get started:
1. Put the phone in Debug Mode: Go to Settings > Applications > Development and check USB debugging box.
2. Extract the files from the zip below, connect the phone via USB, and copy them to the phone via ADB like this:
Code:
adb push Superuser.apk /sdcard/Superuser.apk
adb push su /sdcard/su
adb push busybox /sdcard/busybox
adb push exploit.bin /data/local/tmp/exploit.bin
3. Now we enter the phone's internal shell, also using ADB:
Code:
adb shell
4. Then we take advantage of the "fake" root exploit:
Code:
cd /data/local/tmp
chmod 0755 exploit.bin
./exploit.bin
5. Now after that last command you should be back to your normal console, not the phone one, so we need to connect to it again, and doing so we should now see that we have root permissions since the "#" symbol is displayed instead of "$".
Code:
adb shell
6. Now we mount the /system partition as writable and copy the necessary files there, and set them with the right permissions:
Code:
mount -o rw,remount -t ext3 /dev/block/mmcblk1p21 /system
cp /sdcard/Superuser.apk /system/app/Superuser.apk
cp /sdcard/su /system/bin/su
cp /sdcard/busybox /system/bin/busybox
chmod 4755 /system/bin/su
chmod 4755 /system/bin/busybox
mount -o ro,remount -t ext3 /dev/block/mmcblk1p21 /system
exit
7. Restart the phone and check if you have ROOT in a terminal by typing the "su" command, or by installing any other app that requires ROOT, and seeing it the SuperUser app pops up.
Or, download z4root by ryan in the market. Click permanent root, done.

Many people reported z4root to work, but somehow it didn't work for me :\, phone reboot 2 times, but root wasn't being recognized system wide. But yeah, there's no problem testing that first, if it works for you it's way simpler
Worked well for me. Almost too easy.
Thank you for the great write up though.

root
are we talking super 1 click, rooted mine 1st day i got it same method as droid no probs so far, all the crap from vodafone gone now, waiting for a nice rom
I heard that the DORoot works as well. There are also links on how to root on the Droid 2. I'd think it would be similar.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=782556
hi first time android newbie here-
i downloaded and install z4root - how do i confirmed the device was rooted?
After rooting, in your application drawer (middle button that brings up all your apps) you'll see the superuser app. It looks like an android skull and crossbones.
I have a Motorola Defy on T-Mobile UK, If I use z4root will this enable me to root my phone.
Exactly what does rooting achieve, Will it allow me to try another rom?
Yes, z4root will let you achieve root on this phone.
ROOT has nothing or very little to do with custom ROMs, ROOT it's the Unix super user, the administrator per say. With it certain apps that modify system properties will work (search Android Market for "root"), and also it enables you to do all sorts of crazy stuff on the phone, like literaly modify any file. So if for example there's an app that bundles with the phone, and that you normaly couldn't unistall it, with ROOT you can just delete the app, and that's it . That's and many more things, although root it's most usufull for developers or hackers than the normal user. It's not like jailbreaking an Iphone, Android it's already open enough for the regular user.
If I root the Motorola Defy and I delete some files because I not familiar with this, will I make my Motorola Defy dead.

Rooting doesn't delete files If you've rooted your phone, you won't be able to just go to the system folder and delete something. You need tools like "root exporer" for this. This is a payware. When you rooted your phone, this root explorer can ask you for more rights. These are needed to delete needed files. Also you can do it for free with the androidSDK. Have a look here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=9456771&postcount=1
but be: don't do thinks where you don't know to get it undone. You CAN brick your phone and then you'll have to spend much time to get it back working.

Need original GB firmware for Sky Vega Racer IM-A770K
Hi amunaf.
Thanks so much for posting those links for the Sky Vega Racer IM-A770K. I also have such a phone. I like it too very much too because of the fast CPU and its large screen.
Unfortunately I am now in a dilemma. When I got this fone, details of the "about phone" were as follows:
Android version - 2.3.3
Baseband version - S0833144.TP15.R1090
Kernel version - 2.6.35.7.perf [email protected] #2
Build number - GINDERBREAD
Board and Software version - MSM8260_SURF V1.44
I was so happy being able to root with the above specs using SuperOneClick v2.3.2
Right after rooting and rebooting the phone, I received a message reminder from SKY (seen at the taskbar) saying there was an OTA update available for download. I then proceeded with the OTA download and upgrade and noted the file for download was only 13MB. Thought the download was quite quick, the file being loaded to my phone unusually took to a long time (almost 30mins to load) and I wondered why since the downloaded file was only 13mb. I noted the following changes on the "about phone" after the upgrade or patch:
Android version - 2.3.3
Baseband version - S0833144.TP15.R1090
Kernel version - 2.6.35.7.perf [email protected] #1
Build number - GINDERBREAD
Board and Software version - MSM8260_SURF V1.47
After the OTA upgrade I then proceeded to again root the phone using the same SuperOneClick v2.3.2. Unfortunately, the rooting process always stalled on step 7 and again I tried several times but no luck. I already tried several rooting apps including the link you gave which uses fastboot but still no luck. There is now an update to SuperOneClick which is v2.3.3 but unfortunately still could not root.
I am recommending all those who are still on software version 1.44 to avoid that update in case they intend to root their Racer.
I'm now thinking if there is firmware out there at that Chinese site you had recommended if they have a version 1.44 for download. I am having a hard time translated that Chinese site, moreover that when I attempt to download any file. though I can't understand the Chinese commands, I'm sure the site was requiring me to enter a user name and password which is impossible for me to do and navigate the Chinese site.
Hoping you could help me on with my dilemma.
And that XDA developer gurus could make us a nice custom rom for the IM-A770K.
Rooting update 1.47
Hi
I was also upgrading my phone from 1.45 to 1.47. After upgrading I was also unable to root my phone then I use VR root to root my phone and successes with V1.47. you can download Vr root zip from here
mediafire.com/?a00ct1cofzbaag9
un zip it on your C: drive then using CMD load rooting.exe before it your phone is plug on to your computer and debugging mode must checked.
This method will install busy box, Superuser and su shell on your phone. You can uninstall the applications using unroot.exe
Hi amunaf,
Thank you again for your assistance. Unfortunately VRRoot via its rooting/unrooting.exe still didn't work for my A770K. Please see the rooting messages below:
The A770K is still DISCONNECTED with these messages:

C:\>adb shell rm /data/busybox
rm failed for /data/busybox, No such file or directory
C:\>adb reboot
I also tried fastbooting and the process just stops and stalls with no activity at all after sending the boot.img.sk.insecure file
C:\>sk
C:\>adb reboot bootloader
C:\>fastboot boot boot.img.sk.insecure
BTW I've already wiped cache partition, wipe data/factory reset and wipe internal sd partition. Unfortunately doing all that did not help. What do you think will happen if I initialize sd partition? I tried it before but it was cut short because my battery was went dead and that process I'm guess could take around 3-4 hours.
I'm still hoping there's still a way to root my phone.
Thanks a lot for the effort and help you've extended!
installing custom rom
You root it again with custom rom using this method below and after rooting use VR rooting. I hope it will work for you.
It also work even your phone brick or do nothing.
Steps:
1 Turn off the phone
2, while holding down the Volume Up (+) button, power button and search button three key until the boot. Screen will display "S / W Download" message.
into the sky's official website, (skyservice.co.kr/jsp/info/DownSW.jsp) find the USB driver just said that the download page, there is an option (vega racer im-770K (upgrade version 1.47)
to upgrade this system is self-vega, vega is popular to say the rom package itself. But can not download, install only online.
3. install USB drivers
The emergence of an icon and a S / W Upgrade after , plug in a USB port on the computer
4: Go to web address:
(dmfile.isky.co.kr/NewSelfUpgrade/index.html)
Note: for above web site use “internet explorer” browser other browser may be not work
Than will be prompted to install the plugin, click to install!
5: Wait for the icon from gray to pink
this process is relatively long, about 10 minutes or so. Until the progress bar has completed, the phone will automatically restart. This phone will return to factory state.You install the program will be cleared away flies, including the root before the operation. But the good news is that the content is still the phone book, photos, still. . .
At this step, your phone seems to back you just start state, then you have to do is to repeat the beginning of the operation of this tutorial. Re-root, again carefully delete unnecessary procedures, may once again face the risk of bricking again ... until the perfect resume ... so
After this you can root you phone via VR rooting
Success!
Hi amunaf,
I want to thank you with all my heart for being so helpful, patient and for the effort you did for the tutorial in solving my dilemma. My vega is finally again rooted! Though I encountered some problems such as a drained battery, slow inerconnect connection during download process (it took around one hour and fifteen mins. to download), etc. To make a long story short, in addition to the live firmware download from SKY, the SK.exe you pointed to download which vame with Vrroot also helped root the phone.
Thank you so so much more power to you!

Sky Vega Racer IM-A770K utilities
To go into RECOVERY MODE
1. Turn off phone
2. Simultaneously press:
VOLUME DOWN BUTTON
SEARCH BUTTON
Lastly POWER BUTTON
3. Release all three buttons when the SKY VEGA boot logo appears
4. When Android character w/ white triangle (with exclamation point inside) appears, press the MENU soft key (lower left side of the phone’s front face). The Android system recovery menu should appear
5. To choose a function, use the up/down volume buttons on the left side of the phone
6. To select and activate a function, press the SKY soft key
To go into Soft/Ware download mode
1. Turn of phone
2. Simultaneously press:
VOLUME UP button
MENU button
And lastly press the POWER button
3. S/W Upgrading will now flash on the screen
To upgrade firmware to version 1.47, you first need to download and install the USB drivers. You can get it directly from this site:
mediafire.com/?pgjltz97wkgoitj
Or from the Sky site:
http://www.isky.co.kr/sw/swdownloa...oftware/USB&filename=UniUSBDriver_v355[2].zip
When you reach the above page, there will be a java script with two identically sized boxes (Ignore the smaller box beneath the right box). Clicking the right side box will bring up the download box. Save file to computer.
4. After you have installed the drivers, test your phone’s connection to the computer to initially determine all the required drivers were installed properly. But before doing this, make sure that you have activated USB DEBUGGING on your phone.
>settings
>applications
>development
>usb debugging (must be checked)
5. Using Microsoft Internet Explorer v9, proceed to this page:
http://dmfileidc.isky.co.kr/NewSelfUpgrade/index.html
Notice when that page opens, it will prompt you to install ACTIVE X. Allow that installation to proceed.
6. After ACTIVE X has been installed, notice on the left side there is a phrase noting USB with some Korean characters. Underneath that phrase is a clickable rectangular PINK box. If that box is instead colored gray with a rotating circle, that might mean ACTIVE X did not load or install properly. Or you might be using a different browser or maybe something else. Notice the GRAY box is NOT clickable.
7. Clicking the PINK box will turn it into a progressing lavender bar. At this point, put phone into S/W download mode (volume up/ search /power buttons) and connect the A770k to the computer. Notice the characters on top of the progress bar may change and at this point there is communication between the phone and the Sky download site. It may take a few minutes for the phone to establish a download connection between Sky’s services. Once a connection is established, the characters above the progress bar will turn into a progressing percentage bar starting from 1% and ending into 100%.
There will be two phases of the progressing percentage bar. The first phase is downloading the software while the second is loading the v1.47 software into the phone. After the 2nd phase, the phone will automatically reboot. The first phase will depend who slow or fast your internet connection is. My download took around an hour.
As most tutorials here at XDA say, I take no responsibility if something goes bad after performing the above procedure. Do at your own risk. I’ve done this twice and so far so good.
A high performance-price ratio machine
Seems this is a machine that can draw xiaomi（a very hot machine in china mainland) from a so-called best performance-price ratio position. But as you know, software also play very important role in a phone system.

When you downloaded VRRoot, there were also 3 executable files that came with it. KT, LG and SK. With your phone connected to the computer and also necessary drivers installed, run SK but making sure USB debugging is also checked. Then after that process, run again rooting. Hope it'll work for you 'cause that worked for me when I also upgraded to 1.47 via OTA then could anymore root. Good Luck!
I've loaded CWM based recovery by @KD4865 v5.0.2.7 but my nandroid backups dont work. My phone always restores to its factory state. I've already made several backups but every time it goes back to phone's original settings as in I would have to setup from scratch and all my apps and personal data are gone. What could I be missing or doing wrong???

I have Alcatel OT 995 with Android Gingerbread 2.3.6 and use Ubuntu. I tried Superoneclick (but it works with 2.3.5 :/ ), Casual (doesn't work), Superuser.apk.. all without effects. Anyone has any suggestions?
Hi I did it the following way (Alcatel OT 995):
Get the android sdk, run path_to_sdk/tools/android sdk and install the platform-tools (you need adb and fastboot, they then are placed into path_to_sdk/platform-tools )
Get the cwm recovery for the device from hxxp://dump.pargon.nl/alcatel/cwm-recovery/
Get the su binary (arm) from superuser.apk: hxxp://androidsu.com/superuser/
Follow hxxp://dump.pargon.nl/alcatel/cwm-recovery/README for how to boot into cwm recovery
Inside recovery go to the mount menu and mount /system (and it is a good idea to use the backup menu item before doing this all )
Unpack the su binary somewhere and do adb push path_to_your_su/su /system/bin/su
Use adb shell chmod 4755 /system/bin/su to give it proper rights.
Boot back into the android system, run Superuser.apk, it will, of course, tell you if it worked.
Maybe you should include the device Name into the Thread title because rooting is a somewhat device specific issue.
Oh it seems someone here decided to be unfriendly to new users so hxxp==http...
Try memprodroid

If you only want root, otherwise want to stick to a stock system, the most conservative method (rooting, no tampering with any other ROM partitions) is mempodroid. It only works within a specific range of linux kernels (it relies on a bug that got introduced into linux kernel but was fairly rapidly stomped on), but I think 2.3.6 kernel is probably one of them. See http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1461736 for details. If it doesn't work (you don't have the right kernel), you haven't broken anything, you just won't have root.
The Nextbook 8 (NX008HD8G) is a $99 tablet available from Walmart. It sports a AMLogic AML8726-MX SoC (1.5Ghz dualcore Cortex-A9 w/400mhz dualcore Malli400 GPU), 1 Gb of DDR3 RAM, 8" display, and 8Gb internal storage. Its a nice little budget tablet for those who don't need a Nexus 7 or greater performance rated tablet. Not too long ago I discovered how to root it and apparently I'm the first to do it as far as I can tell. Now here's how.
What you will need is Bin4ary's One Touch Root App. This app will get you only partial root via the ADB Shell. My guess is the ADB exploit he uses does work to get basic root access for ADB, but some incompatibility prevents proper installation of su & SuperUser.apk. What we're going to do is finish the job manually.
First run Bin4ary's app and use the Normal Method. Be sure to ignore all errors. After your tablet reboots move su and Superuser.apk from Bin4ry's app folder to the root of the Internal SDCard. Next you will need ADB. If you don't have it you can get it either from Bin4ary's app folder you found su & superuser.apk in or you can install the Android SDK. At the command prompt enter the following:
Code:
adb shell
su
At this point you should see a # sign indicating root privileges. If you do enter the following commands.
Code:
mv /system/xbin/su /system/xbin/osu
cp /sdcard/su /system/xbin
chmod 6755 /system/xbin/su
The use Astro or your favorite file manager to navigate to /sdcard and install SuperUser.apk then reboot your tablet. From here on you should have full root on your tablet. Credit should definitely goto Bin4ry for his work on his One Touch Root App for getting us half way there.
Confirmed Working
Confirmed. Works as described.
Nice work!
Thank you for this information, works excellent.

Parts are missing from the guide like how to install the adb drivers the computer needs to recognise the tablet first before u try and root it I have read through it and I've already bricked one also I noticed if you go to recovery on this tablet it erases the system and factory reset doesn't fix anything there's no factory ROMs or anything to fix it if it messes up. If someone can't a sure me that the method is correct I'll do it I'll try it.
Does this method work on the newer models say model number starting with YFG12 and up?
I bought this today.
I am having problems here:
I did what you said to do:

Now unlock your device and confirm the restore operation.
Please look at your device and click RESTORE!
If all is successful I will tell you, if not this shell will run forever.
Running ...
Successful, going to reboot your device in 10 seconds!
RunMe.sh: line 222: wait: pid 10 is not a child of this shell
Waiting for device to show up again....
RunMe.sh: line 225: wait: pid 10 is not a child of this shell
Going to copy files to it's place
mount: permission denied (are you root?)
You can close all open command-prompts now!
After reboot all is done! Have fun!

And then I copied the files su and the .apk to /sdcard
Then I try to run su, and it says:
su
/system/bin/sh: su: not found
so I do
[email protected]:/sdcard $ ./su
/system/bin/sh: ./su: can't execute: Permission denied

Other times, it just does this:
Now unlock your device and confirm the restore operation.
Please look at your device and click RESTORE!
If all is successful I will tell you, if not this shell will run forever.

and it runs forever
what do I do?

Yes, I used it also. worked for me too (my serial for the tablet is YF07... in case there is a problem with the newer versions)
Thanks, H0wdy
Steps to do it:
Download Cydia Impactor
Turn on USB debug in settings-> Developer options
Plug in tablet into PC (I used a 32 bit Windows 8.1)
Wait a while... a long while for me... for windows to download drivers, disconnect tablet, wait a few seconds, then reconnect.
you should see in the device manager (on the top) android phone and underneath Android Composite ADB interface
Unzip Cydia, run impactor.exe and just choose start for # drop SuperSU su to /system/xbin/su
Wait a bit, then you're done. (no reboot or anything else necessary).
Install supersu (or I guess any other superuser app) from the android market. It will tell you that you can update the su binary... your choice, I updated without a problem.
I had supersu installed beforehand, but I guess it has nothing to do with it, it wasn't working anyway)
Ranting, but maybe someone has this issue also:
One ( -- BIG --) problem I had was getting the connection between the tablet and my computer, and Not because I can't plug-in a cable
the tablet said it was connected, but on the computer, nothing showed up in device manager and the list of devices kept refreshing.
The PC was beep-ing just like it found a device. the device list would refresh once or twice, then again beep, all this till the end of my patience.
At first I thought it was the USB 3.0 port, then the cable, then the ESXi USB redirection (my desktop is actually a VM), then the windows version, then the architecture,
Then I switched to a laptop, nothing.. same story.
I can BET it's Sony's F***ed up drivers
So, I used a clean system (no other adb or phone drivers installed) and worked as a charm
I think I hat this much trouble because I had a lot of other drivers (for sony, samsung, universal adb, etc etc.)
So on the computer I had all this stuff installed, it looked like the tablet was connected, then disconnected in the space of 10-15 seconds, then repeat forever.
If this happens to you, use a clean windows.
