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)
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

Rooting LG Optimus F3 - Virgin Mobile (Mac Users)

[STORY TO ROOTING MY DEVICE AND 2 ISSUES THAT I ENCOUNTERED]
I got my LG Optimus F3 last week and searching everywhere on the internet to know how to root my device, I did not find anything but only how to root other devices that are LG Optimus. I posted on here XDA Developers and richardpwnsner recommended Motochopper. I tried using it on a Windows it failed, maybe because I followed steps that were for a LG Optimus F5 but it caused some glitches on my phone so I had to factory reset my device.
Rooting device using Windows http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2334544 What I first followed.
I tried it on my mac on Friday (August 25th, 2013). I have rooted my device successfully and these 3 days I did not have any issues but two.
*My main issue on android* I had only one issue when trying to change my Superuser by CLOCKWORKMOD since I was accustomed to Superuser by CHAINSDD on my old device (Kyocera Event). The binary did not want to update. I tried SuperSU by CHAINFIRE same issue occured. I sticked to the original Superuser that was installed and the features are much better and no issues, binary did update on it.
*My other issue on my Mac but totally worth it* I rooted my phone using my mac, when I downloaded Motochopper, I unzipped the file and opened the file's folder and it froze my computer, I attempted other times and it kept freezing my computer. I believe it is due to my virus scanner (Kaspersky) due to it freezing/crashing my mac anytime there is a (.exe) file but not 100% sure. So take your risk as I really don't give a c**p and accomplished my goal.
[STEPS TO ROOTING]
I rooted my device by following these steps and I take no credit for anything of this, I'm just sharing information from othersand I'm not responsible for anything that occurs to any of your devices and have no experience on this so don't be asking me questions since I'm no developer just someone who truly loves the concept of rooting. The steps that I followed were by how to root a Samsung Galaxy S3.
Step 1: Download Motochopper from anywhere you like here are some posts that have the file:
http://http://www.droidrzr.com/index.php/topic/15208-root-motochopper-yet-another-android-root-exploit-412/ Author of this tool
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2334544
Make sure when you download the file unzip the file to your desktop.
Step 2: Enable USB Debugging is Enabled (Settings>Developer Options>USB Debugging)
Step 3: Make sure you have a password on your Mac.
Step 4: Connect your device having it on and USB Debugging Enabled
Step 5: Open Terminal Window and type in each of the following commands in ordered by pressing Enter one after the other.
- cd Desktop
- cd motochopper
- chmod 755*
- sudo sh run.sh (After this it will ask for your password, input your password it looks like this)

Press enter on your mac and then this will pop out:
Phone will automatically reboot and you may disconnect the device from your Mac. If you rooted successfully you should see Superuser on your LG Optimus F3.

2 pictures of my device rooted including Today's date (August 25, 2013):

Alternative solution
Motochopper didn't work on my VM Optimus F3 so I used saferoot instead. Beware, if you downloaded the latest firmware update, you need to flash to stock ROM. I used LGflash for that.

I also have been trying to root my f3. I got it about a week ago and cannot find software to work. I had all the drivers installed from the Lg website amd tried saferoot amd motochopper to no avail. Ive also tried towelroot amd framaroot as on device roots and got no results. When i used framaroot i got neither an error message nor a confirmed root message. The app seemed to force close amd it returned me to my home screen... any suggestions? Its a VM device btw

Try using the phones web browser to download and install stump root. Stump roots gui should say press grind to continue followed by a popup window that says your device is not natively supported. Click force root. After its done running download supersu by chainsfire from the app store and press normal when it asks to be updated. You should then be rooted.

Root Voice Xtreme x5 (MTK6592)

I got Voice Xtreme x5, last night for the new cheap price. However, I did not find a guide for new users to root it. I spent some time on trying various tools and got one working.
This procedure works for me but I cannot guarantee that It will work for you and not brick your device. My device is running updated android KitKat (new device) with following info (extracted using MtkDroidTools v2.5.3):
Hardware : MT6592
Model : Xtreme X5
Build number : Xtreme_X5_V4.0
Build date UTC : 20141007-101058
Android v : 4.4.2

3. Start Rooting using iRoot. It will take a while installing its software on the android device and connecting it.
4. If rooting is successfully completed, you will see:
5. In the phone you will find two new apps (see below figure), the left one could be uninstalled easily. However the right one is in System memory. You can either keep it or delete it. If you keep the apps the permission prompts will be in Chinese.
6. Install SuperSU and run it. It will ask you to update binary, do it. When SuperSU will try to update the binary, the existing Chinese version of the SuperSU will ask for permission multiple times (in Chinese), click right button to allow every time.
7. Restart device, disable the Chinese app or uninstall (with a system uninstaller like SystemCleanup).
8. Have fun with the rooting device. You can verify the root by using an app like Root Checker.
I am not sure, I go for developing a CWM recovery. But, I certainly have no plans for developing a custom ROM.

You can root without PC using Kingroot.apk

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).

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...
