Is there a way to backup the android phone firmware without root access?
I have read many article but most of them need root access.
Show the way, Please.

you can use kies..kies is samsung official tool for up-to-date and backup device
As far as I'm concerned, there's no way to backup your firmware without root access.
This action is a quite low-level action because firmware is basically what runs on your device and no manufacturer would allow this without rooting.
Doubtful
You might be able to find some firmware online but it depends really some firmwares get leaked you might be lucky to be honest but it is doubtful.

Helloooo community ,
I've got a question for y'all. I want to root my AT-AS45IPS but their are some complications. The adb program(http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1886460) Will succesfully complete the cycle, but whatever I do the phone won't gain root access.
Does anyone know how to root the AT-AS45IPS ?

Did you know that the Aldi Wolfgang AT-AS45IPS is the same (rebranded phone) as the Amoi N821.
I can install the rooted Amoi firmware on it (after you took a backup copy of your current firmware).
The method is described here: http://dfourn.com/?p=49
The firmware is here: https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B-vvQ3P2Q9o0UUVUaEZ3RTVyajg/edit?usp=sharing
I would suggest you also note your IMEI number before you start, because it seems you need to copy it back after the firmware is installed.
Please let me know if this worked, cause I would like to buy one too.
Hi everyone,
i have been searching for 2 weeks how to root this phone, but no luck yet. I am saying no luck for a proper way to do it , because you can do it with the avant method, or by using the CF method which uses the SM-G386T firmware, and for reading lots of forums, i know it works, but the problem is if i ever want to update later, i would not be able to do so. I already have the firmware for my phone, G386WVLU1ANJ1, running android 4.4.2 KITKAT, and i have extracted the recovery.img from the firmware file. I am searching how to unlock the bootloader so i can apply whatever rooting method i want. Since i am new to this, i need some information. If i ever want to use the CF-Auto-Root method using the SM-G368T model, can i go back to stock phone whenever needed by flashing recovery image from the SM-G386W ?. If not, is there any other method i can use, preferably one that doesn't trip my KNOX flag to 0x01. Until now i have tried 2 methods, Towelroot and Z4root, which didn't work at all. The main reason i want to root is i want to get rid of the bloatware installed by default on my phone and gain control of my phone without any restrictions, and customizing it.
Please need help.
Thank you very much
P.S: can anyone recommend some reading about rooting android phones?
wow , 107 views, not even a single answer !!!!!
Sorry dudes, but you call taht help ?
107 views and not a single answer to one of my multiple questions !!!
So i guess i am not at the right place for learning or get any kind of help.
Update 2015/06/28: i finally did manage to root it properly with iRoot.
Thanks for nothing !!!
Again, i am sorry, but it p***es me off !!

I also own one of these phones and would like to root the phone to get rid of bloat ware and make the phone run smoother. I would appreciate if you could give a quick run down on how you managed your root. Greatly appreciated.

Hi,
Is it possible to find a way to root from already rooted devices? It may sound weird, but I got a rooted device from one who did not provide how to do it. Since I have another device which I want to root, I hope there is any way to extract some pieces of information.
It is not a typical device with customized bootloader. I can extract some files like hacked system apps but it should be not enough. Any suggestion or advice?
Best,

Are the two devices the same? If not then, no, the other rooted device won't help you.
To find how to root the device you want to root, do a Google search for:
"How to root (your model number)"

Yes, they are exactly the same. And obviously the reason why I'm asking here is there is no information on Google.
After researching, I'm pretty sure that eMMC hacking is the only probable way that does not depend on a specific/unknown device. As it's been done with Amazon TV here (http://solderwiresandplastic.com/20...the-amazon-firetv-to-achieve-root-privileges/).

Careful, the android on TVs and TV sticks/boxes isn't quite the same as android on phones and tablets.
If the other device is rooted and is identical you can try using adb to pull a copy of the system.img from the rooted device. Then use adb to push the rooted system.img to the non rooted device. Or use fastboot to flash the rooted system.img onto the non rooted device.
What is the model number of your non rooted device? Is the rooted device the exact same model number? Or does it have the same device name but different model number? I'll make sure there are no device specific things that you need yo know about that might cause issues.
Rooting by directly interfacing with eMMC is a very extreme method that is very rarely used.

Thanks for the reply. But I'm not that ignorant to try exactly the same method for TV to other devices or to be confused with model numbers or so. Usual rooting methods are not applicable in this case, for even USB communication is blocked intentionally for security reasons. If I could use adb to connect to the device, I would not ask this kind of question.
I know hardware hacking is very extreme, and devices whose rooting method is unknown usually require such extreme methods. Of course, I won't try to modify eMMC myself because it's too risky. On the other hand, it looks quite easy and promising compared to unusual rooting methods, e. g. hacking firmware update routine to penetrate system files.
I have an ancient device which I want to root to put some life into it. I tried rooting with Kingroot and the phone got rooted but my device restricts root authorization. How do I bypass this restriction?

Umm, I tried that but the site says that there is no link ( the os file link) and the other quite messed up. Could you please give another link if you could.
Thanks!
I really need to root my Exynos S7 android 8.0 but all tutorials say that I have to wipe it and flash stock rom, but doing so is not convenient because I have really critical data especially the data of the apps that I can't back up, so as the title is there a simple way of rooting without erasing my important files?

I don't know what guides your looking at but you do not have to wipe your device to root it. Just Google "root s7 on oreo" and follow instructions

Even with the verizon version? I was pretty sure you needed an engineering build installed.

US models of the S7 do not support root access unless you have bootloader version 8 or below. Custom ROMs cannot be installed either. This phone is pretty much useless now as it can't be upgraded past Oreo.
