Hi everybody!
I am a branded SGS owner and due to my operator I am forced to use Android 2.2 (not even the 2.2.1 update is available) so I decided to flash the Voodoo ROM to stop the lag and as you may guess - I wasn't able to do it. My problems started with rooting the phone so I could give super permissions to ROM manager and use the CWM recovery to flash the phone. I was unable to do it by flashing it manually because of the "E:signature verification failed" error. Later, I managed to root the phone using the SuperOneClick application. Now, the problem is I cannot boot to CWM recovery - I always get the default Samsung recovery so I am unable to toggle the signature verification. I goggled intensively and if I'm not mistaken, there seems to be no existing solution to this combination of problems, so I'm asking for your help because I was very close to throwing a good phone out of my car's window all due to bad software!
I had smilar problem on my Folio 100.
1. Root SGS with SuperOneClick
2. Download Root Explorer.apk
3. Download recovery. img
4. Copy it to /data directory(if you find another data directory inside copy recovery there)
5. Connect SGS to ADB
6. Type "adb shell"
7. After that type "su"
8. Finally, type "cat /data/recovery.img >/dev/block/mmcblk0p7"
9.Now, go to recavery and install rom you want
DON'T WIPE DATE AND CACHE BEFORE INSTALLING

I give up. Click on the recovery howto in my signature and flash custom recovery. After that, flash a rooted ROM. If you dislike this advice, then kindly search harder. People generally get irritated when then are answering the same questions 10 times a day because people are too lazy.

Hi guys, regarding the problem about rooting the original GB, it can be done, and it's not that complicated.
First of all there are a couple of things that you have to consider before starting to root.
1. Be sure that you have installed the original V20G GB ROM.
2. if you have it installed and tried different methods to root on it do a factory reset before trying this one.
3. Be absolutely sure that you have all the drives installed when working with the phone in USB debugging mode, if not install them.
4. Download SuperOneClickv1.9.5-ShortFuse, after download extract the files into a folder with the same name as the archive.
5. After you extracted the files, go to C:\Windows\System32 and copy the cmd.exe to the folder where you extracted the files, in my case C:\Users\myuser\Desktop\SuperOneClickv1.9.5-ShortFuse\ADB.
6. Connect the phone to the PC with Debugging mode (Enter the phone settings menu, to the Development and tick the USB debugging mode)
7. right click on cmd.exe from the ADB folder, Run as administrator, than write:
adb devices (after this command you should see your device id)
adb shell
echo 1 > /data/local/lge_adb.conf,
Do not close the window, live it like that.
8. Start SuperOneClick.exe, leave the settings to the SuperOneClick as they are when it opens, click on ROOT and wait, it will say Starting ADB server..., than it will do it's job and than it will appear Waiting for device... it will say ok and that if it freezes while running psneuter do the following:
a. Turn USB Debugging OFF wait until it will appear in the window again Starting ADB server..., after that,
b. Turn USB Debugging ON, and after this trick it will start rooting.
This is the method that i did twice and it worked like a charm.
After this it will ask you to reboot the phone, DO NOT FORGET, and after the reboot click on the SuperUser icon in the phone's menu. it will aks you if you allow or deny it's access. click allow. After this you must connect to the internet via Wireless or a apn, click on the superuser icon again if you exit it, go to settings, scroll down and you will see Su Binary v.XXXX, click on that to update it, than go to market and search the super user app and update it. Also update busybox. After this you have root access and you can install a custom recovery. Also you can install your preferred Kernel if you don't like the stock one.
If you do not get the Allow Deny message the root was not completed successfully. do a factory reset and try again the same steps.
see images attached as proof.
Well, I installed V20 C via doktornotor method but couldn root it by flashing the signed su binary via recovery.
So I tried the above mentioned method and it worked. But every time the Superuser Force closes and its too buggy.. Any solutions. ?
Yes, same here, i tried doktornotor's method both 20C and 20G and didnt work, this Super1click works but su force closes everytime Any ideeas??
====================EDIT============================
I managed to root gingerbread with doktornotor's method V20g
Just use his image, BUT dont use su-2.3.6.3-cd-signed.zip
Download from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1110733 su-2.3.6.2-efgh-signed.zip and install it wia clockworkmod recovery zip installer and works like a charm

Should I type the comma at the end on cmd? Can you please explain what exactly the above command does? Does it create the above file on the above filepath on device? If I typed both
echo 1 > /data/local/lge_adb.conf
and
echo 1 > /data/local/lge_adb.conf,
should I erase one of these files?
Without comma.

Hi,
Actually I want root my LG Optimus One .I have INDIA phone with official V20c Rom. Can anybody help me how to root my phone without any risk of bricking it. I have also read many thread about rooting 2.3.3 through super one click {like this one h**p://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1200167} but people were saying something about force close errors... So can anybody provide me a successful and error free method of rooting it. and Please also share me the method to unroot it.
Thanks in advance.
I've read in a topic that I can't find, that after rooting usb debugging should always be on and disabling it could cause problems. I can't remember what kind of problems. Is that true? Should I keep it enabled?
Ok im pretty sure my phone is rooted coz it said in the superuser log root-allowed so yes thnx for helping me root my phone, now install custom recovery bla blah and then rom install
Which Drivers? From where?
[QUOTE=
3. Be absolutely sure that you have all the drives installed when working with the phone in USB debugging mode, if not install them.
Thanks for the post. But i want to know which drivers? People like me do not know about this so please help. I can connect my phone via usb as i downloaded lg support tool and it installed the driver or drivers. Is that enough?
Awaiting response desperately as i am eager to root now, thanks a lot.
Root & TWRP Lenovo Tab 2 A8-50F (MT8161)
Ok so this is a in depth tutorial on obtaining root and installing twrp for the device in the title. Anything in "quotes" eg, type in cmd "adb devices" quotes should be ignored. This guide is for those who know what root is and know there way around windows and Linux. If you did something wrong i am not liable and maybe you should have read things before trying.
EDIT: for those of you who want to root in one or two clicks i have added support for this device in the ZEUS TOOLKIT wich will root without installing custom recovery.. LINK >> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2644166
REQUIREMENTS/DOWNLOADS:
-Windows PC & Linux (Ubuntu. virtual box would be fine although i have my pc dual booting both os's)
-Driver Signing Disabled on Windows 7 and above
-Device Drivers
-SpFlash Tool (including scatter file)
-Adb Tools
-TWRP + SuperSU Files
-Insecure Boot.img
LINK FOR ALL REQUIRED FILES >> DOWNLOAD << DOWNLAOAD AND EXTRACT TO DESKTOP
Downlaod all of the above and extract/move everything to a folder which for this guide i will assume will be called ROOT on your DESKTOP
SOME READING:
The Lenovo Tab 2 A8-50F is a rather locked down device with the ability to reflash the stock rom on every reboot if required. In this guide you can only do things in a specific order to be able to get it rooted and stop the stock recovery reflashing. It took me a few times of (soft)bricking my device before i could get it sorted to a stable rooted system with twrp installed. TWRP recovery was not built from source by me personally (it was obtained from a russian website) although i have had to modify the TWRP image as it was boot looping but its sorted and working now. So roughly this is how things are going to go, we will use SpFlash tool to readback the system partition, then use linux to modify a file in the system.img the use SpFlashtool to refalsh the modified system.img. Then we are going to unlock the bootloader and then flash an insecure boot.img along with twrp and then root using chainfire's latest binarys.
THE GUIDE:
STEP 1 - installing the drivers
For this i will assume you you have already got adb driver installed if not please google it i personally used googles generic adb driver.
Please make sure you have disabled driver signing for windows "GO HERE". Now open device manager and right click on your pc's name at the top of the list and select add legacy hardware > click next > check "install the hardaware that i manually select from a list (advance)" and click next > highlight "show all devices" and click next > click "have Disk" > click "browse" > browse to the desktop\root\MTK Drivers all windows\ and choose the folder to match your windows installation and then choose the 32bit or 64bit driver file depending on your windows install > click open > click ok > highlight "MTK USB PORT" > click next > click next > if a warning pops up click install anyway > click finish. Your drivers are now installed for spflash tool to recognise your device.
STEP 2 - backing up system partition
Make sure your device is truned off and disconnected from your computer. Open SPFlash Tool form "Desktop\ROOT\SPFlash_tool\flash_tool.exe" > click "scatter-loading button > browse to "Desktop\Root\ and open MT6735_Android_scatter.txt > click the readback tab > click add > double click the entry which is now listed >browse to "Desktop\Root" and in the filename box type "system.img" > click save > check "HEX" > for region select EMMC_USER > for start address type "0xb000000" > for length type "0x74000000" > click ok > click readback. now with your device turned off connect the usb and the SPFlash tool will begin to backup your system partition to "Desktop\Root\system.img" wait until its finished and continue to the next step.
STEP 3 - editing the system.img
Now we have the system.img transfer it via usb (or whatever means) to your ubuntu machine place system.img in your ~/Home/ folder eg. ~/Home/System.img now open a terminal by pressing CTRL + T > type "mkdir output" press enter > now type "sudo mount -t ext4 -o loop system.img output/" press enter > type your sudo password > press enter > type " cd output" press enter > type "sudo mv recovery-from-boot.p recovery-from-boot.bak" press enter > type "cd" press enter > type "sudo umount output/" press enter. The system.img has now been modified and can be transfered back to windows. Goto next step.
STEP 4 - unlocking bootloader
With device booted to android and usb debugging enabled open cmd prompt and type "cd C:\Users\robert\Desktop\ROOT\adb" > (replace "robert" with your username) press enter > type "adb reboot bootloader". Your device will now reboot into fastboot mode when it displays "fastboot mode in the bottom left of the screen type into cmd "fastboot oem unlock" > press enter > screen will change and ask you to confirm do this by pressing vol+ > wait and when a screen with three boot options appears DO NOTHING and go to next step.
STEP 5 - flashing insecure boot.img
Now you should have the ability to flash the boot. Type into cmd "fastboot flash boot boot.img" the device will let you know it is done and when it is done flashing just type into cmd "fastboot reboot" and let the device fully boot and goto the next step.
STEP 6 - flashing modified system.img
now open SPFlash tool again it should have remembered the scatterfile if not reload the scatter file. In the main window of the download tab make sure ONLY system is checked then in the location colum click the space in line with system and browse to your modified system.img and click open. At this point before doing anything make sure your device is turned off and not connected to the computer in any way. Now click Download in SPFlash tool then connect your device via usb while turned off and the tool will begin flashing the system.img wait until it is finished and a green tick appears in flash tool and if your device does not boot automatically then unplug it and reboot it wait until it fully rebooted and goto next step. You can close flash tool for now.
STEP 7 - flashing TWRP recovery
with your devfice now booted with a custom boot and system image open cmd prompt and type "cd C:\Users\robert\Desktop\ROOT\adb" > (replace "robert" with your username) press enter > type "adb reboot bootloader" > press enter your device will boot into fastboot mode again when it has type "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img" > press enter > when its done type "fastboot reboot" > press enter now wait for the device to fully boot and goto next step
STEP 8 - flashing Supersu by Chainfire
Now your device has rebooted it will be missing the super user app and all binary's so open file explorer on your computer and copy the SuperSU-v2.46.zip from the ROOT folder on the desktop to the download folder on your device after doing that open cmd prompt and type "cd C:\Users\robert\Desktop\ROOT\adb" > (replace "robert" with your username) press enter > type "adb reboot recovery" > press enter. Your device will now reboot into TWRP recovery check the little box and swipe the arrow at the bottom to continue now touch install > touch Download > touch SuperSU-v2.46.zip and finally swipe to install. when it is finished reboot. Hey presto one rooted device with a fully working twrp. reboot and download busybox from play store and install as some programs like system app remover need some binarys from busybox.
After following the above steps you will have a fully rooted device wich can be backed up via twrp and flashed via twrp. now i have figured this out, i think its someone elses turn to build a rom for it preferably Cyanogenmod Thanks for reading this guide and all the best luck with your new rooted device. please remember to click thanks.
Have you found a way to root it without the need for Linux?
Hi
I would like to know if this guide will work for MT-8735
Thanks in advance,

I used something called Kingroot along with the info and files found here https://forums.lenovo.com/t5/Androi...-to-root-TAB2-A8-50-WiFi-version/td-p/2181021 to help me root without using linux. There is a ROM listed there. If you use Kingroot.apk, you'll have to run it 2 or 3 times to get the ROOT to stick, then you can enable debugging, and oem unlocking in dev options. Afterwards, you can use fastboot to unlock the bootloader and once that's done, use the SP Flash tool to download Max Choen's rom to the device, install SuperSU and Busybox and your gravy!!!
what files? that post does not have any files provided and could someone upload the files that are missing from the post so we could also use them?

If you guys read the entire post in the link I sent you might be able to get where I got. I'm not a dev and not much for writing tutorials but my process went,
1. KingRoot
2. Unlock boot loader
3. Flash twrp via fastboot or flashify
4. Factory reset
5. Reinstall King root and re root.
6. Format and partition memory card
7. Install apps2sd
8. Install Xposed
9. Install obb to SD module
10. Enjoy tablet with 64gb of space with tons of large data games installed!!!! (Note that this step requires you own a 64 gig memory card)

I will post it in the morning, I think it's on my wife's laptop. The link I posted USED TO lead you to a post that had the files I mentioned and the process I followed. Now they are just suggesting you simply root using Kingo... Which is fine and dandy but does not give you the ability to format your memory card. I will post my recovery image for yall in the morning. You would just have to use KingRoot and then flash TWRP using Flashify once you have a successful root. Then you can format your card and install apps2sd of your choice and xposed with the obb2sd module! That's what I got going on, got TONS of large data games on the tablet cause I installed a very fast 64gb memory card, and BIGGITY BAM!!!! Turned this little budget tablet into something decent for the kiddos! Just wish we could do something about that terrible 1gb of memory, but hell, I was able to get this far so I'm pretty happy!:laugh::good:

Here it is!
Had some things to take care of first. Got a wife and kids to care for before I do my geek stuff. This is not a flashable zip! You must unzip the .img file and use Flashify after a successful KingRoot.
P.S. all credit goes to the original creators of this build of twrp I originally obtained in This Very XDA post we are conversing in! All I did was download this file, I am not a dev andi do not take credit or responsibility for any of the files I've used to root this device! Cheers!!!!
Okay... Thanks. I have SuperSU installed and working. TWRP installed and working, but I haven't unlocked the bootloader.
Will this prevent me from installing xposed framework, do you know?
And the which apps, by which developers, do you install to move apps to SD card?
Thanks for your help!

I am using Link2SD, Xposed OBB2SD module. That's about it. Not sure if bootloader unlocking is even necessary for anything.

Can you flash supersu from stock recovery or do i have to flash twrp first?
I used KingRoot (ver 4.8.2) to root my Lenovo Tab2 A8-50F Tablet.
I used KingRoot as part of a SuperTool. The SuperTool, using a batchfile script, also removed KingRoot after the tablet was rooted and then installed SuperSU.
The SuperTool (April 6, 2016 version) was created by xda's RootJunky for the Amazon Fire 7 5th gen tablet, using KingRoot and SuperSU, but it rooted my Lenovo Tab2 A8-50F Tablet, uninstalled KingRoot and installed SuperSU, all with only a couple of mouse clicks.
Even if you are already rooted with KingRoot, you can use this tool to uninstall KingRoot and install SuperSU. (Just run the tool, let it re-install KingRoot, don't run KingRoot but hit Enter on the SuperTool to then uninstall KingRoot and install SuperSU).
Lenovo Tab2 A8-50F Tablet info:
Model Number: Lenovo TAB 2 A8-50F
Android version: 5.1
Kernel version: 3.10.65
Build number: A8-50F_S000037_151023_ROW
Software version: A8-50F_151023
Hardware version; LenovoPad A8-50F
The SuperTool batch file script rooted the tablet with KingRoot and then uninstalled KingRoot and installed SuperSu.
I have since installed ES File Manager, Titanium Backup, Link2sd on the tablet. Root is totally working. Rooted with only a couple of clicks!
Just enable Developer options on Lenovo Tab2 A8-50F (by tapping tablet Build Number 7 to 10 times [Settings, About Tablet, Build Number (tap 7 to 10 times)]), enable USB debugging on Tablet in the Developer options settings.
Connect Tablet to Windows 10 with a USB data cable (I used the USB 2.0 port). When screen message on the Tablet mentions connections, make sure it is in the MTP mode.
Extract RootJunky's SuperTool Zip file to the Windows 10 desktop.
Run RootJunky's SuperTool (Amazon-Fire-5th-gen.bat) You may have to read the instructions on the pages below and install adb drivers. Pick option #6 Root. Choose Option #3: version 5.1.2. This will run a script that installs KingRoot, allows you to run it manually, and then removes KingRoot and installs SuperSU.
Press enter and KingRoot will be installed on the Tablet from the SuperTool. (approve any messages that appear on Tablet screen) Now don't touch the PC SuperTool until the Tablet is rooted.
Open KingRoot on the Tablet and run it. You may have to run KingRoot several times and the Tablet may reboot. Just keep running KingRoot until the Tablet is rooted. After KingRoot reaches 100%, then press ENTER on the PC.
The SuperTool will now uninstall KingRoot and install SuperSU on the Tablet.
Choose NORMAL SuperSU install on the Tablet when prompted. When SuperSU is installed, reboot the Tablet. Disconnect data cable.
After reboot the Lenovo Tab2 A8-50F Tablet is rooted. There will be a request by SuperSU to upgrade. Approve it. You can now install Titanium Backup, Link2sd, ES File Manager, etc. Your Tablet is rooted. As easy as that. THANKS ROOTJUNKY!!!

Thanks!
Hello experts!
Please see the steps I took, and help me figure this one out:
1. Installed MoboRobo on my PC
2. Connected the TV box, and got it recognized
3. Closed MoboRobo
4. Launched TPSarky.bat and followed instructions
5. *At this stage I might have pressed the space key to reboot too early, for one of the three reboots
6. TPSarky completed its work (meaning the UID=0 GID=0, and SuperSU was pushed)
7. Device booted, SuperSU was there, but upon launching, it said there isn't an SU binary installed, and SuperSU can't install it
I tried several advices from different forums:
A. Pushing a different SU with another Superuser app, or different versions of the SU management apps
B. Pushing the SU to /system/bin and also /system/xbin
C. Using Fastboot to install a custom recovery (as I can't do it via the device itself) to update the SU with a flashable ZIP, but Fastboot didn't recognize the device (ADB does recognize it)
D. Using RK Batch tool / Android tool to install the custom recovery, but it said "Load firmware failed", with no matter how many different recovery *.img files I tried (CWM or TWRP)
So now I'm kind of stuck in a situation, where ADB on my pc confirms the device is rooted (UID=0 , GID=0), but the device itself behaves like it's not.
Any advice per how to handle this? Maybe there's a way to unroot by going back to factory settings, and run TPSarky from scratch? Maybe a step I'm missing to complete the root on the device?
Please please please advise, this is killing me...
I tried when it was stock and it didn't work, then have put a couple different ROMs and it doesn't work. I does connect so I would think it's not a provision issue but something internally maybe? Currently I have Ephemeral Mate 9 rom. I checked the internet on the phone while the laptop is connected and it is working on the phone just fine. Is there something I can check with Root Explorer or SQLite Editor? I have a nexus 6 that works fine so maybe there is a value I can compare and see if something needs to be changed.
Did it wooooo hoooooo!!! Found an article and followed step by step and it worked great. I guess the custom rom doesn't have it baked in.
a. Setup ADB and fastboot drivers on your PC
b. Download TWRP recovery for your device
c. Download stable version of Systemless SuperSU [HERE]
Instruction
1. Flash TWRP recovery image
2. Flash Systemless SuperSU in TWRP recovery
3. While still in TWRP recovery, select Mount and check system. Make sure you allow changes.
4. Connect your phone to your PC and issue the below commands:
adb shell
echo "net.tethering.noprovisioning=true" >> /system/build.prop
adb reboot
5. Now, install Terminal Emulator app from the Play Store and launch it.
6. In Terminal Emulator, enter below code one by one:
su
settings put global tether_dun_required 0
exit
7. Now, open SuperSu, scroll to the bottom and tap on Full unroot. You do not need to patch you back to the stock recovery. If it hangs, just reboot and try doing it again.
You have now unlocked tethering and being an unrooted device, you can continue to use Android Pay. And, to get OTA update on your Nexus phone, do the following.
