A Noob's Guide To Rooting

As is the case with any smartphone, the initial ownership period is always the most exciting one. Your phone is new and you can’t wait to try out all the features it has to offer. After a while, though, you tend to get bored with it and that’s when you start thinking about buying a new one. Unfortunately, what many don’t realise is that at times, manufacturers aren’t able to exploit the phone's true capabilities due to various reasons and one of the best ways to achieve that is by rooting it ( assuming it is an Android Smartphone.

What is rooting and why do I need it?
At the core, Android is based on Linux and by default, it gives users only limited access to the system. The permissions are set to give users access to everything they would typically need and restrict them from accidentally modifying any system files or permissions, since a novice user can end up bricking their phone. Rooting your Android phone gives you Superuser access, which is similar to having an Administrator account in Windows. Armed with this, you can now perform system level updates; make changes in the UI through specialized apps; modify protected files, etc. With this you can now use Titanium Backup, which is one of the best backup apps in the Marketplace letting you backup virtually all your settings, data, etc, which otherwise is not possible. Adfree is another very handy app that lets you block ads in any free app you download and since it works at the IP address level, it doesn't slow down the system.
Advantages Of Rooting An Android Device
1. You can use custom ROM's such as CyanogenMod & MIUI.
2. You can overclock the processor to increase performance or underclock it to save battery power.
3. You can delete the carrier added crap-ware, use custom themes.
4. You can obtain SuperUser access.
5. You can backup and restore the whole system.
SuperUser Access Granted
Dis-Advantages Of Rooting An Android Device
1. Your warranty will be in great danger.
2. Security Concerns may occur.
3. You can possibly turn your phone into an expensive paper-weight if you don't know what you're doing i.e. Brick you android device.
Your Phone If You Do Something Wrong
How To Root?
Every android device whether it's a smartphone or tablet, have a different method of rooting. In my personal opinion, there are two applications that can almost root any android device.
Using SuperOneClick - Download
This Windows-based application will root (almost) any Android phone in the market and is a good place to start. It works on Windows Vista and above, and requires you to have .NET Framework 2.0 and above pre-installed. For the full list of supported phones and instructions on how to use this on a Mac or Linux, follow this thread. Once you download and install it, just follow these steps:
Put your phone in Debugging mode - For this, go to Settings > Applications > Development > USB Debugging. Some phones have this placed differently, so if you don’t find it here, just browse though all the sub-menus in settings, you will eventually find it.
Make sure the drivers for your phone are installed - If you received a CD with your phone then install it. If not, then go to the support section of your phones website and download it from there. In case you have a phone from a lower tiered company then chances are you may not find drivers for it. Don’t worry, as OneClickRoot will download generic drivers for your phone.
Plug your phone to the PC via USB cable - Remember, not to “Turn on Mass Storage”, if you get the prompt. Just ignore it.
Run the software and it should now detect your phone. Then you simply click ‘Root’ and wait for it to complete. If Windows can’t detect the drivers for your phone, click the second tab on the program and click “Get Drivers”.
Your phone is now rooted! You’ll now have a new app in your list called ‘Superuser’. All that it does is keep a log of which applications require Superuser access.
The other application is Unlock Root, which works in a similar fashion. So, if for some reason OneClickRoot doesn’t work, you can give this a try.
Now that we have rooted the phone, it’s time to install a custom recovery, so we can install custom ROMs and a lot more.
What is Custom Recovery and why do I need it?
Think of recovery as DOS mode in your PC. You access it to make changes to the system, apply updates, change file partitions, etc, which is normally not possible through the OS itself. All Android devices come with a recovery, but the stock one offers very basic options, which won’t let you install custom ROMs or make any other system level changes. For that, we have a custom recovery and the most popular one is the ClockworkMod Recovery or CWM developed by Koush or Koushik Dutta.
A couple of things you can do with CWM are:
Make, restore and manage backups of your current ROM
Install a custom ROM or flash a kernel from internal storage
Mount, format your phones internal storage partitions
Create logs for error reporting
It’s ok, if you don’t know what some of them are, as you’ll seldom be using them. You can install CWM in different ways, but the simplest is through an app called ‘ROM Manager’. Here’s what you do:
Download ROM Manager from the Android Marketplace
Launch the app and the first option itself should say “Flash ClockworkMod Recovery”. Just press that and follow the instructions onscreen. In case you don’t have enough internal memory, you’ll be prompted to insert an SD card, so do that.
Be patient and let it work its magic. Once it’s done, you now have a custom recovery on your phone.
You can get into recovery mode a number of ways. Some phones have a button combo, which you boot into, but again, the simplest way is through ROM Manager. The second option says ‘Reboot into Recovery’, so just hit that and your phone should boot in to recovery mode.
After a reboot you won’t see the screen above directly, if you boot through ROM Manager (sometimes). Instead, you’ll have an Android logo with an exclamation mark. Don’t be alarmed; simply press the ‘Home’ button or any of the soft keys and you’ll see the main menu. You can scroll through the options using the volume keys and enter them using the ‘Home’ or ‘Power’ button. It’s a bit different for each device, but nothing that you can't figure out on your own. CWM will not work with every device, especially the lower end handsets from Spice, Lava, etc. The reason being they aren’t support by the developers, since they are relatively unheard of. However, almost every phone from a Tier 1 brand are supported.
Congratulations! You now have a rooted phone and a custom recovery installed. Don’t worry about loss of data as both these procedures will not affect any of the settings or data on your phone. The next step? How about installing a custom ROM?
About Custom ROM's, you will find loads of them here........at XDA-Developers
Till then, Stay Cool!

1. What is 'ROOTING'?
Rooting is the process of gaining privileged control or root access in a phone or a tablet. Some hardware and carrier manufacturers do not allow certain things such as writing into /system folder, overclocking the CPU, remove in built apps (which consume a lot of space and are never required) but after rooting you can do all of these and many more.
When you root your phone, it is like you become the administrator of your phone. It is not a big thing and nowadays each and every phone can be rooted.
2. Why should I root my phone?
Rooting your phone can be very useful and fun. After rooting you can delete or freeze apps that drain your battery life (Eg. V-Cast Music in Verizon Devices). Not only this but you can also unofficially update your phone to a newer Android Version such as ICS or Jelly Bean. You can also control processes in order to save battery life. Apps like these which consume memory and do nothing are referred to as "bloatware". After this you can also overclock your CPU to some extent i.e. making it go over its memory speed (Eg. In HTC Wildfire the Qualcomm ARMv6 processor operates at 528 mHz — this is a limit that is coded in to the kernel because they can’t guarantee good cooling for the CPU if you go over this limit and yes it can go to 768 MHz until it freezes only after rooting and having a suitable kernel which supports overclocking.)
3. Why shouldn't I root my phone?
The above benefits can be enjoyed after rooting but the main disadvantage of rooting a phone is that YOU LOSE YOUR WARRANTY or in more complex words YOUR WARRANTY IS VOID. If anything happens to your phone after rooting you can't take it back to manufacturer to get it repaired , so be ready with a backup or learn how to un-root your device.
4. How do I root my device?
The method of rooting differs from phone to phone (sometimes even model to model).
So SORRY I can't help you in that you have to search the g00gLe to find out about rooting your device.
But yes depending on the Android version you can also root your device.
Rooting Android Devices running Froyo (2.2.x){Mainly SAMSUNG SUPPORTED}
RyanZA a, Senior Member on XDA developed an app called z4root App which can root a Froyo running device in just one click. This app also provides Temporary Root or Permanent Root option with an Unroot option too. So you can easily unroot too if you want. The Temporary Root option roots your device for one time use only i.e. after a reboot the root will go

[Q] How to find if my galaxy note 10.1 is rooted?

I am very new to this rooting things and I bought a used Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 Moel Number GT-N8013 which is running 4.0.4.
When I attempted Software Update through Settings->About -> Software Update - it downloaded around 460MB and at the time of installation it brought up a screen with a title given below:
Clockwork kMod Recovery v6.0.1.1
I didn't want to damage anything so choose 'reboot system'. Then received the dialog box that the installation failed when the note booted back.
Then I googled and found a lot of info about it but don't see 'SuperSu' icon in my system to confirm if it is rooted.
Now can somebody tell me how to get this system upgraded to 4.1.2 or 4.2?
Thanks in advance.

Most likely it has been rooted but do this to check
Boot into odin mode ...... by pushing power and vol. down at same time with tablet on..... when tablet restarts and warning screen appears lift off buttons........ then press vol. up.
The next screen will tell you if it is rooted..
downloads should be 0
current binary should not say custom
system status should not say custtom
For latest firmware
Go to this web site http://samfirmware.com/ register for free.
then go to the CHECK YOUR FIRMWARE tab put in your model # / country (if usa - use cellular south) and hit check firmware... then download latest firmware.
Go back to odin mode and use odin to to install firmware. This video should help to unroot back to stock http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NsDOSvBdALg
.

When I did the following:
"by pushing power and vol. down at same time with tablet on..... when tablet restarts and warning screen appears lift off buttons........ then press vol. up"
In the top left screen, following was displayed:
ODIN MODE
PRODUCT NAME: GT-N8013
CUSTOM BINARY DOWNLOAD: Yes (1 counts)
CURRENT BINARY: Custom
SYSTEM STATUS: Custom
Which means the tablet is not rooted but only the cwm recovery is installed?
Can I still download the new ROM onto my sd card and flash it with the option that displays "intall from sd card'?
Thanks in advance

installed or if you can install SuperSU from Google play, you would be rooted.
If you want to return to a factory stock unit and you are not rooted you should root the unit, install Triangle away https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=eu.chainfire.triangleaway to reset the CUSTOM BINARY DOWNLOAD...... then follow the directions in post #2 from this thread.

"If you have SuperSU installed or if you can install SuperSU from Google play, you would be rooted."
But the download site it requires a rooted device:

Description
SuperSU is the Superuser access management tool of the future
!!! SuperSU requires a rooted device !!!
And the same is required for Triangle away as per google play.

Or with the current state, can I just flash a 4.1.x ROM using the CWM recovery that is installed in the tablet?
I really don't need it to be rooted and all i need is to get the JB on my system. Is this something doable with the current state of my tablet?
Thanks.

Yes you can. Just flash with a factory rom and then do a factory reset after wards. You will then be able to get updates.
Do you know how to do that?
.

Is the following correct?
1) Download the rom.zip and copy it to my SD card.
2) Turn off the tablet
3) Press the Power+Volume Up button until CWM Recovery screen appears
4) Choose the install from SD card and choose the zip file
5) Reboot the system

No, you need to follow the directions in this video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NsDOSvBdALg I know it is a video to unroot but your issues requires the same process to remove CWM as it and your custom firmware need to be removed to be able to get OTA updates.

Awesome! This is the link i needed and my tablet is back to stock fully and running 4.1.2! Thank you very much!

[ROM] Best custom roms for Huawei Ascend G610S (G610-U00) with complete install guide

Well, as you know, G610-U00 emotion UI (Official Stock firmware) is annoying, lets try to change the overall UI completely from boring Chinese UI into popular phones' UI.
Before we go, back up everything you need (Apps, Contacts, etc...)
Your phone bootloader must be unlocked to do these processes!!!!
1.Download and install VRoot ENGLISH VERSION on PC and root Your G610-U00 first. (Skip this step if you have already rooted your phone)
2.Download and install Mobile Uncle Tools on your phone.
3.Download TWRP English recovery for G610-U00 first and put it in SD card.
4.Download Rom below that you want to install and put it in SD card.
5.Open Mobile Uncle Tools and "Allow" root Permission and choose "Recovery Update" in Mobile Uncle Tools and then
choose "ydss-g610-u00-twrp-recovery-en-v2.0".
6.Mobile Uncle Tools will show you a message "Reboot into Recovery?" Choose "Yes".
You can also go to recovery mode this way
(1)Power off your phone
(2)Press and "HOLD" volume up button and then power button until you get into RECOVERY MODE.
7.In the TWRP recovery,
(1)Choose "Wipe"
(2)Choose "Advance Wipe"
(3)Choose Dalvik Cache, Cache, Data, System
(4)Pull the Slider below from the left to the right. Now your Phone is clean and ready to install new ROM
(5)Go Back to the menu with Back Key
(6)Choose the button "Install"
(7)Choose the ROM (zip) you have downloaded
(8)Pull the Slider below from the left to the right to install the zip and wait for the installation process
(9)After Installation process choose "Reboot"
ENJOY YOUR NEW ROM!
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Note (Optional) : For better experience, when you want to download, you should use Chrome Browser to translate pages because the download pages are written in Chinese. If you don't have Chrome Browser, just see the image at the end of the post how to download from.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Files to download
G610-U00 custom ROMS(All Roms Have Root Access)
Edit : Google drive link for those who can't access Baidu (by a request).
Google App Installer for no google app included roms(Installing using apk, Need root access)
DEFAULT LANGUAGE IS CHINESE, AFTER BOOT UP, GO TO SETTING>LANGUAGE AND INPUT>LANGUAGE>CHANGE TO ENGLISH.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
In any case, if you want to go back to official stock firmware,
(1) Download and flash it in TWRP RECOVERY (I'm not sure it would work in CWM but has 70% success rate )
(Without flashing this stock recovery in TWRP, you won't able to flash Official Firmware).
(2)Download extract the downloaded zip and copy the "dload" folder to SD card.
(3)Power off the phone and Press and Hold "Volume Up + Volume Down and Power Button" until you see the install processing cmd lines on your phone. Wait for the process and the phone will reboot automatically after update finish.
Now you are on the official stock firmware.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Notice : YOUR PHONE MIGHT TAKE 10 TO 15 MINUTES TO FINISH BOOT AFTER "FLASHING (INSTALLING) NEW CUSTOM ROM" OR "INSTALLING OFFICIAL STOCK FIRMWARE". IF IT WOULD TAKE LONG MORE THAN 15 MINUTES, JUST PULL THE BATTERY AND BOOT AGAIN. THIS COULD SOLVE THE PROBLEM OF TAKING LONG TO BOOT.
***IMPORTANCE*** : FROM PHONE SETTINGS, NEVER DO "FACTORY DATA RESET" OR NEVER "UNMOUNT" "INTERNAL SD CARD OR INTERNAL STORAGE" WHILE YOU ARE ON "CUSTOM ROMS". IT WILL LEAD TO BOOTLOOP. IF YOU WANT TO DO FACTORY DATA REST GO TO TWRP RECOVERY AND CHOOSE WIPE, PULL SLIDER TO DO FACTORY RESET. IF YOU EXPERIENCE THIS PROBLEM, SEE ABOVE METHOD "GOING BACK TO STOCK FIRMWARE" AND INSTALL CUSTOM ROM PROCESS AGAIN.
I am not responsible for any damage to your phone caused by following this method. I have tested this method and it is working smoothly for me. Be sure to do precisely as my instructions and I am pretty sure this will work 100%. Good Day to you.

Rooting any android device and replacing KingUser with SuperSu (NEW METHOD)

Hey guys. This is my first post in XDA and its about how to root your phone. When I first rooted a device, I had to go through tons of articles because none of them made sense to me. Once I was done with it, I realized that rooting was not so complicated after all, and so to relieve you of the confusion I had, here is the ultimate rooting guide (noob friendly ).
Kingroot is a third party app that can root almost any device and it has a very high rate of success. The whole thread relies on this amazing app. The app is your best bet to root, unless you have a native root method for a phone. (Google it )
What you need:
1. Working internet connection on your device.
2. Lets download the other things later , move on
Procedure:
1. Install the latest version of Kingroot on your device.
2. The app will show your device's model and android version and will also check for root access. Tap on "ROOT" and let the magic happen. (You need to have a working internet connection to root with this app as it uses cloud services to find the best root exploits)
3. You now have root access. If you don't , tap the Root button again and ensure that your internet is working fine.
4. Root access obtained. :good: :good:
But that's not all. You now have kinguser as a root manager. Kinguser is full of features and bloatware and tend to slow your device. Most devs recommend a simpler, but efficient SuperSu . SuperSu is the best in business, and was developed by XDA fame Chainfire (Check out the apps he has to his name, its a gold mine).
Kinguser is a royal pain in the uh.... behind, because it doesn't allow you to switch to another manager, so now we have to bypass Kinguser to install SuperSu.
The easiest method to do this is by installing SuperSUme app. The app was developed by gatesjunior and it supposedly removes all traces of kingroot and installs SuperSu.
The SuperSume method has a very low rate of success and most of the time it ends up simply uninstalling Kingroot for some reason. If it doesn't work for you (like it didn't for me), no worries, just follow what I did.
Rooting is nothing but simply flashing the latest SuperSu.zip on your device from a custom recovery. All devices have a stock recovery for updating your firmware with official updates. The stock recovery, however, cannot be used for doing this, and so you need to find a custom recovery that works for you.
Installing a custom recovery without root is a nightmare, so I advise you to do as I did and bear with Kinguser until you install one.
Popular custom recoveries include TWRP (Team Win's Recovery Project), CWM (ClockWork Mod Recovery) and Philz .
TWRP is compatible for lots of devices so start from there. Search TWRP for your_device_model. The custom recovery will be downloadable as a recovery.img file. Download the file. (TWRP link in above paragraph)
The recovery.img file needs to be flashed now. There are lots of apps to flash zips, imgs etc. Use Flashify (for root users).

"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Tap on Recovery Image under flash and select the recovery.img file you downloaded.
Congrats! You now have a Custom TWRP recovery.
Now, since you've gotten the recovery, you dont need KingRoot anymore. Open Kingroot and click on Uninstall Kingroot.
You don't have root access now, but it's only for a little while.
Get the latest SuperSu flashable zip from here
Download the latest ZIP not APK and save it in the root folder of your phone storage (Root folder - the outermost folder which contains the files).
Now, you might guess that we're going to flash the zip with Flashify, but we're going to do it ith our TWRP recovery because Flashify works only with root and you are not rooted ..... for now
Each device has a different key combination to access Recovery mode. Google Recovery mode for your_device.
Optional (recommended): I dont like pressing on the hardware buttons often, because they tend to break easily. If you fell the same way then you can download Quick Reboot app. The app allows you to reboot, reboot to recovery or safe mode, power off etc. and relieve your hardware buttons of all the tension. However, it requires root access and hence, cannot be used at this time.
Access recovery mode of your device and you will be greeted by the TWRP welcome screen.
Tap on Install and select the SuperSu.zip that you downloaded. Drag the dot on the bottom to the right end to install the zip (Swipe to install).
Now TWRP gives you a message saying success and an option to Reboot System. Tap on Reboot System.
Your device will boot and you will find SuperSu in your app drawer.
You have successfully obtained root access, installed a custom recovery, removed Kinguser and learnt a lot about rooting. :good::good:

New method can be found at https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/2020-replace-kingroot-v5-x-or-kingo-root-with-supersu.3904880/
Not only those two....
Android version is important for this guide to work..
Upto Android 5.x (lollipop) this guide will work by trying multiple times...
If Beyond lolliop then this guide has very little chance...
