Hello All,
I picked up a Samsung Galaxy S 4g yesterday and I have had the intention of rooting it and installing a custom Rom from the get go. Unfortunately I am having problems getting rooted.
I have tried to use the One Click Root, but without much luck. I get the update.zip installed and it reboots into recovery mode, but on 'reinstall packages' it fails with a signature warning. I supect this is because I have the 3e recovery. I have seen some suggestions for other methods but they seem to but somewhat old or unsupported. I would love to get some advice on this.
Details are as follows
Model: SGH-T959V
Firmware: 2.2.1
Basband: T959VUVKB5
Kernel: 2.6.32.9
Build: Froyo.VUVKB5
If someone could point me in the right direction, that would be very helpful.
*sigh* How many times are we going to see this?

I am not terribly sure what you mean by linking. I did actually read this thread along with a ton of others. It seems that it was successful for someone, thats great, but it wasn't for me.
I have followed the instructions, drivers are installed, sd card unmounted, usb debug mode etc. If there is something in that thread that is helpful please point it out. I would love to get this phone rooted.
Happened to me before with rage option on Super One Click Root, what I done was to unroot using same method and restart then use the first option on Super one click and not the rage one then reboot, everything is ok at present with no problem. Hope this help?
It can't hurt to try. I will give it a shot tonight.
Just for other folks I have confirmed that the z4root option does not work on this model. You get through acquiring shell, get a couple of random vibrations and then z4root fails with no root actually happening. There are a couple of other reports of the same result out.
I will try the option the post above suggests and I will see if there are some other approaches to try.
Moved to general as not android development
Just for posterity. One click root 1.7 works just fine as long as you are not trying to do it from a vmware vm.
I have searched xda feverishly, searching for related issues. Been rooting and modding since Droid Aris days. Please let me know if this is global or not. I have only found one other member here who is also facing this issue on the Verizon Note Pro 12.2. I provided the link to that member's post as well. I wanted to make sure they are noted so if a solution is found, they can be informed. After all, this website is built on the basis of helping each other!
MY POST
"I rooted with a towel root and downloaded from the link provided in the first post. I clicked the "make it ra1n" button and received a message stating you are now rooted, please enjoy. I Installed SU (pro version) by chainsfire from playstore, updated binary using "normal" method and used root checker. It confirmed root access and then it was on to Titanium Backup Pro.
Here is my main issue though. Almost immediately after rooting with this method via the provided link, my P905V started Hot Rebooting itself almost every time i attempt to wake it. Flashed back to stock and started all over. Same thing, clicked "make it ra1n" once and received confirmation of root, installed SU again, did root checker and it confirmed root. It again started hot rebooting upon wake up. It did not do it once on the original firmware, nor when i reflashed before rooting with towel root. I noticed someone else had this issue in another thread but received minimal feedback and nobody else with this issue.
My question, is anyone else having this issue? Anyone know where i should start to determine the cause here? I do not have enough posts to post in the development forums even though i have been a member for some time. I am very familiar with root and the Galaxy Note product line, but I am stumped. I have solved all other issues by reading through posts and finding solutions. This is the first time I am totally lost. All help or suggestions welcome. Thanks."

Same here, and I even tried doing it with only factory installed apps when I reverted back to stock before attempting the second try.
Moved to correct forum?
Can a moderator please move to the correct forum? Possibly Dev or Q&A. I should have posted in the correct place initially so my apologies there. Thank you!

Install Xposed framework then install the sccf module https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&sou..._Ji_K8s_JPZzGSHkA&sig2=VnUAdEDRgD7PZemsLHqI4A
Interesting.

I might be asking the obvious but:
1- Have you tried to clear the cache and dalvik?
2- Have you tried a factory reset?
3- Have you disabled Knox and updaters?
4- Have you tried catlog to see what errors you get during the bootup?
Has anyone found a solution to this on the Verizon version? I am considering trading my ipad 4 64gb for a Verizon note pro 12.2 and would like to be able to root with towelroot
oh yeah
Want my boot log? But of course, screen capture exceeds limit size.
18 reboots on the 27 alone, most days are not that bad.
Only reason I want root, is to see what I can come up with multi window
Probably reverting back to stock.
I rooted mine with towelroot and did not have to enter any codes or anything. No issues at all.
I am running the Verizon version. I had the same issues: rebooting every time I woke the tablet up it seemed. I installed the module (which kept it from rebooting, but kept giving me the message that it prevented a crash) and found out that Knox was the culprit. I had to remove EVERYTHING Knox related and now all is well.

This is catching and preventing multiple crashes. Installed the Xposed framework module. If i understand the log correctly, Knox is causing the problems. I will have to look at the other log.
I am working in China, I have just bought a Samsung Galaxy A8. How can I root it?
I have tried Kingoroot without success. I tried a few other one-click root PC apps, they all can't do it.
Let me just say I'm what you guys might call a noob, I don't really understand this stuff yet.
I mainly want to root the phone so I can install Google Play, Android phones in China are not set up for it unless you root the phone and configure it yourself.
I'm dead keen to do this, as it annoys me greatly that I bought a phone and am seemingly denied the regular usage of that phone.
So in my research I also heard about a thing called Odin which you can use to install a new rom on a Samsung phone. And I came across a Chinese website which gave info on a rom you can install on an A8 which after installation means the phone is rooted. I got Odin and the rom now but I'm clueless what to do next really.
I'm thinking the phone has to be rooted to use Odin on it anyway, am I right? And if I do install the rom, it will wipe the phone right? Lose all the data and apps I've installed on it, right? I don't want that to happen, is there a mway to secure the data, put it all back just the way it was beforer the 'rooted rom' is installed?
Like I said I'm clueless really, but I'm trying to proceed cautiously, I'd be grateful for any advice.
I think that I'm going to have the same problem next week, when I get my new Samsung Galaxy A8
Have you tried methods from this page?

In that link they say, that Frama Root App (Galaxy A8 is not on the supported devices list) worked for A800YZ in their case, but some users have had problems. Can I safely try it, without worrying that it could damage my phone? (Losing knox 0x0 is OK!)
Easy Root
so you can Easy Root almost any phone (maybe) with no risks , no data loss and absolutely no brick , follow the steps.
1_Make sure that your phone is plugged in and it have "USB Debugging" enabled ( you know how right ?)
2_Download Mobogenie for PC here >upload<<<<<.mobogenie.com<<<<</mu/release/Mobogenie_Setup_3.3.7_10002<<<<<.exe
"REMOVE THE <<<<<"
3_after the setup is done open it and click on "Please connect to your device"
4_after the device is connected go to "Toolkit" tab in the middle left and choose "One-click Root"
make sure you have internet access !
then you'll notice a small wide white status bar , that means you're starting the Root operation
5_after that a window will open with your phone model shown on it asking you rooting or no
6_click in Root and wait until it's done , then Congratulations on your safely Rooting
I hope i helped you
No you haven't helped at all to be honest, your post seems like spam.
None of these automatic one-click root programs can currently root the Samsung A8, if you had read above you would see I've already tried most of them, the best of them actually, KIngoroot, Framaroot, KIngroot, all ineffective. So you honestly think your little app can do it?
Is there anyone out there with real help to offer?

I am in a similar situation to you. I used Odin and the SpaceX A800F firmware however all goes fine until the writing of the new firmware begins. The log prints out the write has failed and then I am presented with a mandarin screen saying the device is locked out and I need to visit samsung.com/cn. I can reset the device and use as normal.
My quest to crack this continue and will let you know if I succeeded. 加油！
Having the same Issue
My phone died on me and I had to run out to get a new one. I forgot China has restrictive programs and custom OS to block anything they don't want.
I am trying to root the phone and hitting walls. I might to take to a shop and do it.
can i flash polish language to A8 ?
Disable android device manager in device administrator tab and go to download mode then flash spacex kernel. (Disabling will remove frp lock) I tried it's worked on my a800f

bro i have root file for Samsung A8 A800YZ and i have rooted my phone. if some one need the file, i need some donation before i can send the file. its easy to use, just flash it using odin. thanks.
So I finally managed to root A800F 6.0.1 thanks to @rs1981
Link for TWRP: http://www.4shared.com/get/oUigxM-6ba/TWRP_302-0.html
Downloaded supersu from:
Http://viid.me/qqB1fh
1. Make sure usb debugging is on and oem unlock is on
2. copy supersu file into phone
3. Turn off phone and go into download mode (vol down+home+power)
4. Connect to pc and flash TWRP file via odine (make sure you untick autoreboot)
5. When flash passes unplug phone and hold (vol down+home+power) immediately once the screen turns black switch to (vol up+home+power) even if you see the red error keep holding and TWRP will open
6. Flash the Supersu file that you copied from TWRP and wipe delvik cache then reboot to system
Supersu should be installed and you should have root.
Thanks again @rs1981
Been trying to root A8 all day with no luck... It took me 10 mins using this method

Greetings! I need assistance rooting an LG Optimus F60 that has been tinkered with before. What I mean is, I had a guy unlock my phone since I switched carriers, and if I recall correctly( though not very sure) he used a few apps like kingroot to gain permission to unlock the device. He did not root the phone though, and I want to root it now(several months later).
The problem I stumble upon is that flashing SuperSU zips did not work. I have the app, but the binaries could not be pushed. I have tried manually pushing the binaries, but I was denied access...
I hope someone understands my problem and is able to help. I am more of a PC tinkering guy, never got into "hardcore" android customization, but I would really like to install apps on my sd card.
Thank you for reading, It should be solvable, and also sorry if my issue is common and/or has been posted before, I tried searching, but couldn't find anything(maybe I did not search good enough, sorry!)

Thanks for dropping by, I have tried the guide you linked to me, but I couldn't get it to work. When updating the binaries, SU gives the error "Installation failed. Please reboot and try again". Root checker says I don't have root access too. If you want to assist me whist i'm trying this again, or have any other solutions, feel free to add me on skype (s1ckzombie)
Edit: If I access busybox installer, it says i'm rooted, but I don't have busybox (Busybox location: N/A)
Edit 2: Maybe this screenshot will provide additional info. http://imgur.com/34hnjrP
Edit 3:Turns out I had my device on MTP, will try again on PTP
Edit 4: Doesn't work even with PTP turned on. Bummer
Edit 5: Doesn't work even with the one click application... The one-click app outputs a succesful root but my device is still not rooted... I tend to believe that it's not my fault by now
Title says it, apologies in advance for my noobiness on the entire topic of rooting. Got lucky and my previous device was supported via kingroot. Just looking for SuperSU permissions so I can enable my hotspot really.
This phone is through straight talk btw. I've tried Kingroot, iRoot, and quite a few others to no avail. I don't currently have internet due to me moving to the butt-crack of nowhere, Tried srsroot but seems like it interferes with USB tether and says it's successfully rooted but nothing happens upon reboot.
Anyone had any success with this? Thanks in advance.
Anyone?
Please help for the love of god.

CF- Autoroot might do it. I see that it works on other variants for the J7. Here's a link with CF-Autoroot and detailed instructions. Hope it works for you. Let me know how it goes.

Is this your first time rooting a device. after srsroot says successfully rooted did you verify root by going into playstore and trying a root check app.

I tried srsroot 5.1 multiple exploit and it said rooted. I open root checker and it said phone wasn't rooted. I also tried dr. Phone and they didn't have a working root method for j7 sky pro and i was desperate enough to try king root. None of these worked. The guy than mention c.f. auto root, thats for a version of the j7 that was released in other countries. Those variants of the j7 have exoynus processors and us version have snap-dragon processors so the root procedure might brick your phone.

I can't open the link but all the videos iv seen on YouTube seems to be j700's and other variants not for s727v.l From my research the devices are a listed under samsung j models but the they all have different hardware, i.e. boards, processors, chipsets,. I did a cross referience with cf-auto root to try and find a divice with the same hardware and builds, there wasnt any other device with the same hardware that would suggest compatibility. Cf-auto root flashes a root file to your device and if it's not compatible you could completely brick your device
Hello, First of, you shouldn't have used kingroot whatever the situation was
However https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.inkwired.droidinfo&hl=en
download this and capture the system and device tray
Yeah but it was worth a shot. I figured if it worked I could replace it with superSu. I will post those specs In a few. When ever. I get time and free WiFi in going to try adv root

Verizon bootloader is most of time locked you can't flash it.
I may have a method for rooting s727vl. I can't test until I get home where I will have unrestricted data in case something goes wrong. I'm gonna keep this short and simple assuming everyone have
knowledge of using odin.
Developer option usb debugging oem unlock no frp or passwords
Download odin
Download latest superSu, this isn't the same as superuser in the playstore. It's used for rooting systemless root os. Yes that what marshmallow is.
After downloading supersu place it on your phones sd card
This is what I'm not sure on. Download clockwork mod RECOVERY. Zip , not the one in the playstore. And place on pc
Use odin to flash cwm to s727vl
Please refer to guide on installing cwm
After flashing cwm go to it in recovery mode and use cwm to flash the supersu zip file and reboot phone. It could take a few minutes but it should boot with root access. Or wait for auto reboot.
What I'm not sure on is cwm compatibility with s727vl, I couldn't find a yeah or nay on compatibility. Cwm say it's compatible with any android.
Hopefully this will work. Make sure u have your data backed up and your stock rom in case things go south. If anyone try this please let me know the result. I'm anxious to try it but I travel a lot and I can't afford to have data throttled by downloading everything I need and I can't risk doing this until I'm i get home.

this isn't the same as superuser in the playstore. It's used for rooting systemless root os. Yes that what marshmallow is.
This is what I'm not sure on. Download clockwork mod RECOVERY. Zip ,not the one in the playstore.
And place it on your pc
Use odin to flash cwm to s727vl
Please refer to guide on installing cwm
After flashing cwm go to it in recovery mode and use cwm to flash the supersu zip file and reboot phone. It could take a few minutes but it should boot with root access. Or may reboot on its own.
What I'm not sure on is cwm compatibility with s727vl, I couldn't find a yeah or nay on compatibility. Cwm say it's compatible with any android.
Hopefully this will work. Make sure u have your data backed up and your stock rom in case things go south. If anyone try this please let me know the result. I'm anxious to try it but I travel a lot and I can't afford to have data throttled by downloading everything I need and I can't risk doing this until I'm i get home.

I may have a method for rooting s727vl. I can't test until I get home where I will have unrestricted data in case something goes wrong. I'm gonna keep this short and simple assuming everyone have
knowledge of using odin.
