I have found many many guides and documents regarding many different devices for rooting. I was wondering if there was some general method of rooting a Android Device that would be universal for all devices?
This application exploits the Exynos bug to root a phone. I think this is only for ARM-based devices.
If that doesn't work for some reason (or you are using an x86 based device), you can use Recovery mode to flash the Superuser ROM available in ROM Toolbox Lite, select "ROM Management" and download an appropriate ROM. The download will be in /sdcard/romtoolbox/downloads/downloads.noshufou.netdna-cdn.com

can I root my thunderbolt using a mac computer? Also can anyone recomend a website for reading up.on how to root my device and how and where to get cuatom roms?
i find it kind of odd that you're asking such a question on xda ....
(look around, it's all right here. check out development and q&a to learn how)
Short answer - yes
Information on rooting and custom roms can be found in the "Thunderbolt Android Development" forum.
jcase has an excellent step by step thread on the rooting process titled "[ROOT] MR1/OTA PermRoot + Unlock Bootloader - Safer/Easier 5/12/2011"
You will need the Android Debug Bridge (adb) shell installed on your mac in order to use jcase's process. Google something like "how to install adb on a mac" and you will find all kinds of helpful information. Downloads and manuals are also available at developer.android.com.
DemoManMLS has a thread on thunderbolt roms and kernels titled "The Official Thunderbolt ROMs & Kernels Listing v2.0 (Updated 5/28 9:45 PM CST)".
Hope this helps get you started.
There is also a thread in Android Development for OSX (say that 10 times fast). I don't know if it's the "easier/safer" method, but I know it'll get you the platform tools you need.
Hello,
I buy a tablet JMI T970 Tab
It runs on android 4.0.4.
Do you know how I can do for the rooter?
I tried SuperOneClick and it hangs during boot on ADB server.
I tried Unlocker but it always asks me to download a driver (I did install the drivers android debug).
I essater z4root but I can not find a version that works (my antivirus tells me a warning).
Thank you for your help
z4root contains a exploit for the rooting to work so it was correct also z4root doesn't support above 2.3

go to slatedroid on the rk3066 threads
superoneclick 2.3.3 works for this kind of device. You need the corresponding driver to have your tablet recognized by soc. Everything is explained in the n90 or cube u30gt topics.
I have a tablet similar to jmi tech

It may be a l ittle late, if anyone is interested I've prepared a custom firmware with root, writable /system and extended space (1.5 Gb) for apps.
This firmware is based on latest firmware from JMI (08/26):

Hi,
Am new to Android and the Social Organization that I am a volunteer want to use donated cellphones for only GPS aps.
Researching how to root Android phones, I found the Bin4ry rooting method at "How to Root Your ICS or Jelly Bean Android Device Using Bin4ry Universal Method"
Am posting this because I could not find a data base listing all the phones that Root has been successful using the Bin4ry rooting method.
Is there something like this?
I would also like to thank Bin4ry for sharing his Android Rooting Expertise!!!

Hello,
I'm an Android Developer. Some of my clients installed my Apps on their Android phones such as Intex, Sony, Motorolla, MI and so on.
My problem is I have tested my App on Samsung platform, where it worked very well. But My app is having some problem on other manufacturers, and I don't have access to these devices
If I could install Intex Stock ROM on VMWare, I could easily debug the problem. Can anyone please guide me, if we could do such thing. It would be very helpful.
Thanks
Hi,
I am using a TCL 20Y, and it's UI is boring and also it runs android 11.
I want to experience the android 13 with a a custom rom like project elixir or ricedroid or pixelplus ui, so can anyone please let me know wheather I can do that.
Like most manufacturers TCL uses different chipsets in different models. I believe your device uses a Mediatek MT6762D. TCL has some snapdragon based phone that have fastboot. TCL Mediatek phones can be rooted and flashed with mtkclient.
This thread documents installing Android 13 in another TCL phone using the same series of Mediatek chipset (P22)
Thank you for the reply,
I am an Android newbie so I don't understand most of those complicated stuff.
If possible could you send me a step by step guide on how to add an custom ROM.
Also I couldn't find any custom ROMs for this device.
Newbie advice: Web search and use the forums search function. There are many, many web pages and videos , maybe even in your native language, that will walk you through this. Before starting you need to have android tools and mtkclient. These are available for Windows, Linux and MacOS.
The first 2 pages of the thread I provided are complaints about how hard TCL made this and unsuccessful attempts to hack. Starting w/ page 3 post #42, @malfuncion first documents how he installed a custom rom.
@malfuncion also provides downloads of all the files that worked for him.
In post #73 I provide copy/paste instructions for mtkclient.
The ROM's I used in the thread are GSI (Generic System Images). I used the ones from TrebleDroid which were fairly stripped down and based on the most recent AOSP code base.
@malfuncion used a CherishOS rom and provides it, repacked as linsuper.bin, on his download site. This may not work as it repacks a vendor.bin which may be different on your TCL model.
On my TCL A30, using the latest TrebleDroid Android 13 rom, the following works: phone, messaging, sim, wifi, camera, gps, brightness. Headphone jack works with alternate Phh jack settings. I successfully provisioned VOLTE using these instructions.
I had issues with apks not being fully functional when installed directly from F-Droid (specifically Geometric Weather widgets did not appear). Installing the apks using "adb install" fixed Geometric weather widgets.
Thanks a lots.
