This is the method I used ages ago like last year for my Singapore HTC Magic.
I can't say if this is the best way to do it but it certainly did the trick for me. Good luck and just make sure you read every step well.

Hello Dinosaur ,
I could flash the recovery mentioned in the website. But I see the 10 th point is...
10. To get Root access you MUST go to the next video mentioned above and load a custom ROM.
So that's why I got confused...
Probably you could tell me the ROM you flashed. I bought my mobile from singtel...
And thanks for your reply...

Hi Nimue,
The file links of Magic Rooting website are not working anymore..
I tried those things before writing this post...

the 10th step is a little misleading. you do have root access by now and you just need to go to the other video to see how to install a rom on your phone.
i checked all the links, they work fine for me.

Yeah once u root your phone successfully, boot up your phone by holding "Home+Power" button and it will go into recovery mode. Then do a nandroid backup and keep this file safely. From there, you are ready to flash to a new rom. Remember to wipe first before flashing. Personally i recommend SuperD. And check that the rom is for old radio and it's 32A

No. You can not flash anything without rooting your phone. No, the ROMs are not rooted, the phone are.

Yeah u have to root your phone first. Just follow the steps on theunlockr.com and you'll be fine. I was like you initially...clueless about rooting and flashing new rom. But once you've tried it, it's actually quite simple. And since HTC Sg wont be updating 2.1 for HTC Magic, all the more we must root our phone.

Hi, Thanks for the reply.
http://android-dls.com/wiki/index.php?title=Magic_Rooting
In the above website , there are two links to download ROM and Recovery..
Download Haykuro's Magic "rootme" rom (Mirror) and the Magic modified recovery
The files are incomplete.i.e You could download but cannot unzip it.

URGENT - Stock ROM for Gionee Pioneer

Hi Everyone,
I have a Gionee Pioneer and I tried rooting it using advice from this forum but it didn't work. Rather, my phone went into an endless bootloop, just showing the boot image. So I want to ask if there is anyway I can get the stock ROM and how do I root it next time. Also, how do I flash the generic android OS to it if I can't find the stock ROM? Thanks.

I have an rooted device. Did you find a solution? I think you can make a backup of the rom with super flash tool.

Can you enter the bootmenu? Press volume key while power on? There are some option to reset the device. I have rooted my device with superoneclick and MTK 6573 ADB drivers. These are the original Google drivers for Nexus One, etc. There are many MTK 6573 ADB drivers package to download for free. Just try anyone and superoneclick. Otherwise it can be your device is brick and you need a special cable or so. But that's on top my head.

[Q] Rooting an LG Venice

Before anyone tells me to use the search, I already did. There is no forum for my phone specifically, and what few posts I have found that even remotely relate to my issue have been dead for over 3 months and I was not sure how you felt about resurrecting them.
Phone info: LG Venice (LG-LG730), Carrier: Boost Mobile, OS: Android 4.0.4
What I have done so far: I was on another help site(so far not so helpful) and several people have reported success in rooting their Venice following THIS tutorial. I have had no luck following said tutorial. Every time I get to the part where it shows the "restore, yes or no" part (can be found at 13:50 in the video tutorial), and when I click yes to restore, the phone says "starting restore.... restore finished" or something similar, but never actually reboots, and nothing shows up in the CMD window. Now I know that I have never set any encryption passwords, and I verified that these options were turned off in the phone settings.
I have also tried Super One Click, for what its worth, and keep getting stuck on "step 7: waiting for device"
If anyone has any information on how I can easily root this phone, I would be most appreciative. I say "easy" way because I AM totally new to rooting and I don't want mess something up. I apologize ahead of time if I posted this in the wrong area.
Thank you in advance.

FWIW I just rooted both my and my wife's LG Venice phones.
I used http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1886460 and then method 3 instead of 1 which has worked for others.
android 4.0.4
kernel 3.0.8
build IMM76L
software LG730ZV5
I did try method 1 first and it may be that the two need to be stacked for all I know at present, I will be resetting one phone to factory and trying fresh with method 3 as soon as her 8g SD is ready to go.

I've tried using different versions of Bin4ry's root and none of them work. Im running 4.0.4

On a friends phone, also a Venice (boostmobile) we had some insanity as described below.
The final root check stalled, and we finally stopped the script that was waiting for something for most of a day.
A quick check from the ADB said we had root, and I could get the # prompt and do what I wanted, see the supersu and busybox from the rooting, etc..
Two reboots later, after adding titanium backup, supersu, and stericson-busybox from the play store (or what ever the name is today) everything went swimmingly, and even the problems I had noticed with some audio and video codecs not working had resolved themselves.
I am not sure what version of the rooter from bin4ry we used on mine and my wife's, but on our friend's we used the newest at the time he downloaded which was v25

Alright, i'll try it out. Thank you
You wouldn't by chance have the file on hand would you? I can't seem to find v25

Root Issues Lg 730
:cyclops: Hi XDA... I have an issue also with the Lg730 Venice or (Sol) I have a repeat client that is always coming up with new phones, and keeps me busy rooting, custom flashing, (in general Modding) all his little toys.. I rooted his Lg 730 last yr with adb (Ubuntu12.04) by using the usual push/mount/chmod/install.. This system has worked for me many times, including but not limited to Clone S3's , Clones S2(Chinese) Droids of all flavors, yet with this New OTA 4.1.2 my client lost the previoius Root (I did not flash CustomRom at that time) . I have SERIOUSLY ,tried every method that I know of. Binary's(thanks Binary) which i have used a few times(Donator here) does not seem to work this time. GingerBreak/Psneuter/Fastboot/Rageagainsthecage/Odin/Heimdall (yes i even tried Samsung designs) Nothing works on this new OTA for me. Upgraded to RaringRingtail thinking i was out of date , to my dismay Nothing... I cannot get Root. Fastboot does not pickup device(all drivers in place(Ubuntu/Windows) My biggest challenge ever. I BOUGHT this phone (not because i like it) but for personal reasons. There is limited support for this device. I would like those who read this forum to know, that I AM going to dedicate my spare TIME on the Lg730 Venice from this day on. I have reset BoostMobile Factory settings , taken the stock boot.img , pulled the system, , rooted it, busybox'd it, with run support, zipaligned, added a couple of my favorite apk's,changed the bootanimation, zipped it,(7zip)... Essentially STOCK, with ROOT... I cannot run this on my Device(NO ROOT) but if any1 is interested its ready for flashing... I AM IN NO WAY RESPONSIBLE IF YOU BRICK YOU DEVICE... I will speak to a Moderator before i post link so as to get XDA Forum rules advice first. I take no credit , and i give it all (J.Rummy) (Chainfire)(XDA Developers)(Dsixda)(Koushik Dutta)(Exploid-Crew)for without them many things could not be possible....

I do not have it on hand, and we both semi-accidentally OTA upgraded to jellybean when the prompts got too annoying and lost root all together.
IF you manage to achieve root, best to use OTA rootkeeper BEFORE you upgrade, looks like now I have to use kdz tools and downgrade to v5, root, rootkeeper, and hope I can keep root :/

I would be interested in your theory cyclops. Possibly even in using yours over mine.
I am currently playing with doing much the same thing on a .cab formatted ROM then using the KDZ tool to push the modified v8 ROM (Jelly Bean 4.1.2) and pray I am good as I was when I was a kid

I have tried to use this page/post to root my LG 730 Venice (Android 4.1.2 Software LG 730ZV8). I have downloaded & installed everything but keep getting ERROR messages at the end. Does anyone have detailed instructions on how to install/use bin4ry v31.zip ??
I am almost sure that it would eliminate these errors. I have been using Linux now for over 10 years and this process should be child's play.
Thanks in advance for any help.

Not much info to go on Mike , but here goes, first but not least...... LG730ZV8 package is not rootable.... You need to first downgrade from the LG730ZV8 to LG730ZV5 using LG Tool 500 method... (.cab format from here--> ) http://csmgdl.lgmobile.com/swdata/WDLSW/LG730/ABMUSV/LG730ZV5_01/LG730ZV5_01.S5_00.P61009.cab ... Follow instructions to the letter, and do not miss any steps....... I think its an easier way using the tools but if your a DIY kinda guy , the KDZ method is a little more complex , but rewarding in the end , more so than The 500 Tool simply said , because if your a little like me, i flash many different OS's for the fun of it, and the KDZ method will truely always work when the Tool wont..... Now the KDZ method you can find Here --------------->----------->---------------------->-----------------------------------------------------> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1287236.... If you have any problems or questions give4 a shout and i will try to guide you through it ...... Good luck Mike
Ps...... The trick to getting Binary's Root method to work is to put it on Root (c:\Binary.... etc...etc ) go to file press shift and right click to open cmd prompt... Type c:\RunMe ... Choose method #1 restore twice ,reboot 3x and Rooted..

I went into the folder that I extracted the bin4ry file download to and found two other folders:stuff and z_rootkit.. Inside the "stuff" folder I found abd.exe & dlls, busybox, fastboot, glass, install recovery, root me.tar (Linux), rootkittablet.tar.gz Linux), su and superuser.apk.. Now some of the ERROR messages had references to ABD and missing .dlls which were apparently not installed. This where I believe this prog hung up but I have no idea why.
The other folder "z_rootkit" had getroot scripts (.sh) and usbux.ab. I am guessing but I am assuming these might be needed too.
When I extracted to folder bin4ry, there were no other instructions to install from these folders.
This why I was asking for an install instruction file to get all this done.
Hope this helps in the solution !!

Hi Mike ...:cyclops: This will help you out..... You have the right package I believe.. Not sure why its giving you the dll errors... that could possibly be SDK or ADB not installed correctly via path to directory... Check it. Possibly deprecated download file. Too many too list in Windows... Gotta love Ubuntu........ Try downloading Binary's Root by Restore again... open downloads , -> drag n drop file to local c (root) set permissions-> Unzip it . open File . press shift on keyboard while also right clicking pointer, and it will bring up command prompt . Type ( .\RunMe ) in prompt...... When it opens select # (1) follow prompts to Backup---> Restore---> ADB will reboot ---once----twice and android will upgrade ... Let it finish. (3) Third reboot pull plug ---> grant permissions to Superuser or SuperSU on popup... Rooted.... I am assuming you downgraded to LG730ZV5 or LG730ZV6 already....... if there are any problems , or if you have questions let me know......

What to download ??

Don't forget the SuperSU app for the root binaries and superuser requests!

Root RK3066/ Rockchip 3066 easy method

USE THIS ON YOUR OWN RISK!
Rooting your device can void device´s guarantee.
Follow the steps:
1. Download the files in the attachment and place them in the root of the sdcard.
2. After the first step is done a window will pop on your screen. Select yes and the device will reboot short after in CWM.
3. Now, according to your options you can flash superuser+busybox or supersu. I recommend superuser because we can uninstall the root with this choice. Go to install zip from sdcard and choose the zipfile from the card, press enter then yes when you are asked if you are sure you wanna flash.
4. Reboot device!
*DO NOT WIPE ANYTHING
Success! Your device is rooted.
Now because I didn´t figure out how to access the CWM, we need to keep the update.zip file but is enoying to have the update popping all the time so we will rename it from your favorite file manager. Whenever you want to uninstall the root rename the zip again to update.zip and place it on the root of the sdcard, run the update and flash the unroot zip.
To check if your device is rooted download Terminal Emulator and enter the su command.

What version of android it is running?

Maybe you have an installed version of CWM on it. Turn off the phone and press volume down on power on, take the finger off the power on button but keep pressing the volume down untill you can see the CWM. From that you can flash the root zip as described.

Thank you, your instruction and installation went really smooth and works 100%. I rooted RK3066 (MK812) with Android 4.2.2. It's the easiest method for Android stick. :good:

I clicked on update.zip the update was successful but there was no option to flash anything. Could someone make a youtube video? This guy says he has a youtube channel but he did not leave a link and I can not find channel or video under his name.

My Q8S (http://www.geekbuying.com/item/Q8S-...M-4G-ROM-1-6GHz-Tablet-PC---Black-315345.html) finds the update but then decides it not valid...
Also, since it does not have a volume rocker, I am not sure how I would go to/use CWM either way?

Hi,
Thanks for this, - don't know much about this stuff, and have been looking for a straighforward root process, - this looks like the one!
But, I'm also getting the 'not a valid update package' error message.
I tried the holding down vol. - on re-start, but doesn't work on my Sumvision Cyclone Voyager tablet.
Would be grateful for any advice, thanks

Hi,
Please can you describe with more details and clearly what exactly is your problem?
Apparently your device is a Hewlett Packard Slate 6 voicetab - OS: JB 4.2.2
Is your device rooted?
Last operation made ?
Don't forget that you need to be more explicit when you need help

Can you tell me where have you downloaded your rom?
And apparently,you have changed the governor and the frequencies of your kernel.
The only solution is to use your nandroid backup for restore your last version.
I'm really sorry but we haven't forum or thread about your device.
I will tried to find something for helping you

i download the rom from the official HP support..(sorry i cant put the link bcause not have 10 posts)so i attach a screenshot.
i dont have back up from nandroid..im just change it and reboot the device..so i dont have the backup :crying:
yeah i search it but no one in the forum talk about this device
apreciate it for your help sir :good:

You need to post the URL of the HP site. Also, without a backup it's going to be pretty difficult. You're going to have to find the factory image somewhere on the web. You did some pretty serious modifications as Ikuza27 eluded to. Good luck

I'm really sorry but I cannot help you more. I've tried searching a link for a factory image or something that it can help you, but except the HP website for support, nothing.
For your next device, don't forget to do a nandroid backup before to do something.
