Can anyone confirm that unroot works as well?
Without a working odin image or nandroid I think its important in the event of a hardware issue.

i just re-rooted my phone from stock, testing the Unroot now
Edit: it seems unroot didnt work, though like mentioned above you would only want to unroot incase of hardware issue or you want t replace the phone wit T-Mo, but thats all good now cause i posted a working Odin image earlier.

So cwm doesn't work for the sidekick 4g

First off thank you for the easy root But now I have an issue, the SD card wont work, looks like it wont find the extension anyone know how to fix this? Ive used many different card and none read but I know all work. Without this I cant do a ROM

Try reformatting the card? Did they work before you rooted? do they work again if you unroot?

They worked before the root, I didn't unroot yet. When you out then in the phone and go to the SD card setting it shows nothing. Just says unavailable. So I can't even format it on the phone. I've formatted them in many ways on the pc too
HTC EVO = my best friend

did you try pulling out the sdcard and putting it back in? does it show a blank sdcard, or no sdcard at all?

need a mirror, site is down

I cannot get # in adb. Only $. Can anyone tell me why? I rooted with this method and have smooth maximus v2.0 and bali kernel v2.0. Any ideas?
Edit: Nvm. I had to update the drivers with the ones here.

I'm almost positive it can't ruin your device. I ran the Galaxy note app on a different phone about 10 times yesterday to see if it would work with no adverse effects. I can't guarantee anything but I'm pretty sure you'll be okay.

X Unlock Galaxy Nexus gives these errors before halting:

Done that manually to test the other options.
√ Install recovery downloads and installs 5.5.0.4 recovery just fine and reboots to it right away.
√ Install root files does what it says, easy and painless.
And... I think that's all, I think it's kinda anoying that everytime you perform one of the steps a new browser window opens with the Paypal donation site, you may want to do that only when quitting the script or something.
Just my 2 cents. I've followed you on Twitter (@migatohacemiau), send me a PM if you need more testing on the bootloader issue

i have the following phones at my disposal:
T-mobile G2 (HTC Desire Z PC10100)

how can i help, i am willing to unroot devices if necessary (im just hoping there's a big chance that they will be easily rootable after )

[Q] Help rooting S Galaxy S2 (noob)

Hi
first off, if I am braking any rules by posting this here then pls direct me to the correct forum (very sorry if its in wrong place)
anyhow, I just got a new contract with a Samsung Galaxy S2 on virgin mobile (UK) & am hoping to root it so I can "maybe" install a new rom etc but the main reason I want root is because of the bloat that came with the phone. I don't really want to damage the phone, so I wont try until I know I am confidant in doing it without killing my baby.
can anybody either tell me how search works here because I cant find any info, or failing that tell/show me the easiest safest way to gain root on my baby.
if I root will virgin be able to tell if I ever need to send it in for repairs. I've heard of yellow triangles & flash counters & USB jigs & am very, very confuzed. pls help

I believe your model is the i9100, if so follow the guide below.

You can root via kernel which is the easiest
Sent from my LG-V909 using Tapatalk

if I root using this method can Samsung find out if I have to send it back, or is my warranty null & viod if I root?. thanks

I believe any method of rooting will void your warranty, so its best to return it to stock before sending it back to Samsung.

So again ill ask, is there any way for sum one to connect to my pc & root it for me pls? I don't want ics flashing, I just want root.
Sent from my GT-I9100 using Tapatalk

It's not that difficult, invest some time and you can do it yourself.
There are even youtube videos guiding people how to root their device.
If you have trouble or questions about a specific step ask here.
I wouldn't recommend giving a random person access to your computer via teamview...
Its usually:
- Find out what ROM version you currently have
- Look for the right kernel with root matching your ROM
- Get usb drivers for your computer
- Reboot your device in download mode
- Use Odin or Heimdall to flash the new kernel
From a quick glance, this looks pretty solid:
http://reviews.cnet.co.uk/mobile-phones/how-to-root-your-samsung-galaxy-s2-50004972/
Edit: was bored looked around some more.
So this actually is okay too:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1118693
And this was the one i used to root a friends sgs2:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1103399
Most difficult part was actually choosing the right kernel fitting the ROM, too much choice

thanks for the info.
can you tell me exactly which unsecure firmware to go for pls?
these are my kernel version etc on my phone...

Try SuperOneClick. It's literally 1 click to root...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=803682
You'll need the drivers for your phone already installed (Kies installs them for you), and you'll need to kill all processes that are related to Kies. Just read what to do on the above mentioned thread and you'll be rooted in no time.

Yup, I gathered that. Have a thanks

OK so I found the insecure & secure kernel for my fone (XWKI4) & I'm pretty sure cf-root is the way to go to gain root, but now I'm confused about the custom can in cf-root, I've read that in ics USB storage don't work, video record don't work etc so my question is this, should I root it at all as ics official will be out very soon & that has everything working except flash so should i wait? The 1 thing that's pushing me towards say CM9 ICS is the lack of touchwiz UI, if i choose a custom rom I get the full ICS UI experience which is what I'm after, but as this phone is very expensive I really don't like the idea of voiding my warranty 2 weeks into a 12 month contract. Suggestions welcome (& yes I've spent 6 days reading ALL sections & posts.)

you got it wrong man , you don't need the secure and insecure kernel anymore , look for the superonclick method. all you have to do is download a couple of stuff , plug your phone and click.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=803682
everything works on ICS , it depends on the ROM you choose. so far the only incomplete ROM is the Cyanogenmod 9. but i'm currently on Resurrection ICS Remix v1.0 ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1436854 )
and it runs great. it's blazing fast and super stable and everything works great. including camera and sd storage.

Cheers so if I root with SOC how do i then install Clockworkmod so i can flash ics resurection? Thanks for all the answers

[APP][I9500]Working version of Cydia Substrate for Galaxy S4 I9500

So people who have in the past had jailbroken iPhones would definitely know about Cydia and Winterboard.
The good news is its arrived for Android. Bad news, it's still in the beta stages and knowing the fragmentation on Android, it doesn't work on stock Samsung based ROMs for I9500. But that's changed now.
So with with the help of the developer of the app @saurik , here's a version of the app that works for the I9500. I have tested it with DocRambone's ROM. It should work for all ROMs XXUAME1 onwards.
Link to the main website: http://www.cydiasubstrate.com/

DOWNLOAD LINKS:
Link to the apk that works on I9500. Download APK here
Prerequisites: You need to be rooted. I haven't tested with other versions of Galaxy S4. but you may test and I shall update the OP accordingly.
Failsafe Boot option: After rebooting, if the phone gets stuck on recovery or doesn't boot, You could either try booting with the Volume up pressed, or simply delete /system/vendor/lib/liblog.so to deactivate Cydia.
You need to install Winterboard after you have Cydia Substrate installed. Here's the link to the app on Play Store. DOWNLOAD HERE
Please test the apk on various versions and phones so I can update if it works for other iterations of the S4 too.

Reserved. Just in case.

Are you sure this works? Because I've tried using the apk from the market, it didn't work.

It basically allows you to run themes that otherwise won't work... More like a theme chooser for CM but for all ROMs.. The only problem I see is the fragmentation that exists. Those phones which are close to stock like Sony ones, would benefit way more than phones like ours, where possibly nothing is like Stock Android..

Hey ! i m user of IOS and Android for years. i got devices like i4,i4s,i5 and S2-s3 and now a S4 LTE when i download cydia-winterboard for google store i got bootloop and now my device wont back up even with back from recovery this is still crap i think we must wait ! winterboard is an awesome programm! when they perfect port it to android world i ll pleased

The app works for me on my I9500. The app store app didnt which is why the dev fixed it here. Why device did you try it on???
Sent from my GT-I9500 using Tapatalk 2

I believe the issue here is that the version tested by adyscorpius was 0.9.4003. I quickly found a regression in 0.9.4003, and followed it up with a version 0.9.4004. However, it turns out (I did not realize this at the time) that the regression was actually part of the fix for the S4: Samsung mixed some symbols that are normally only in libcutils.so into liblog.so; as the fix for the S4 involved a number of extra symbols, it seemed like these would likely not be required.
I then got word that it no longer worked correctly on the S4, and I came up with a solution that works on any device (I forward symbols to either liblog.so or libcutils.so as a fallback), and this was released as 0.9.4005. It is highly likely that as 0.9.4004 came fairly quickly after 0.9.4003 (due to the large number of people testing on non-S4 devices, including myself: I caught it before I even published 0.9.4003 to the Play Store) many people here tried 0.9.4004.
FWIW, I would have guessed that while some background daemons on the S4 were affected (I pulled a stock ROM and did some static analysis to figure out what would have been broken) adb and USB would still have worked, allowing Substrate to be easily uninstalled. If this was not the case, and you were operating with a locked bootloader (and thereby were unable to just pull the resulting files via custom recovery), then I'm really (really) terribly sorry .
In order to keep issues like this from ever happening again, in 0.9.4005 I also developed a system that would be able to detect symbol conflicts: the setup application now would have detected the issue, both the original pre-0.9.4003 conflict, as well as the 0.9.4004 conflict, and would present a message to the user telling them that Substrate is unlikely to work. With this change, I'm pretty certain that Substrate is now able to detect all possible harmful conflicts.
---------- Post added at 08:16 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:37 PM ----------
Oh, another detail: a few days ago, I ran into a friend of mine at a meetup thing that had just gotten an S4; I took the opportunity to root it, and verify that things worked on it: it did (tested at the time 0.9.4006, I believe). However, Samsung seems to have some one-off (Samsung-specific) programs on their devices that I currently beleving are using unitialized memory. I saw this both in reports of people testing 0.9.400[34] as well as myself when I had a chance to work with the device.
In 0.9.4005 I took the solution of blacklisting one of the processes (/system/bin/ks) and in 0.9.4008 (probably coming out tomorrow) I'm going to be blacklisting another one (/system/bin/mcDriverDaemon). The latter process doesn't seem to have any side effects when it fails, but the former causes the radio to not work (in case anyone saw that symptom with 0.9.4003, so that's fixed in 0.9.4005 and later). Neither of these failures keep the device from bringing up USB, adb, and su access.
I apparently am not going to be able to test personally on an S4 again until Thursday (six days from now), but when I do I hope to be able to remove the couple blacklists and allow modifications to those apps. (As these issues aren't fatal, the latter doesn't seem to even have a symptom, and in both cases was trivially fixed by blacklisting, I'm having a difficult time justifying going out and purchasing an S4 for this test--which I'd normally do, but Thursday isn't that long from now.)

Cydia Substrate looks very interesting. Just wondering under what license it is released? Open or closed source?
Open source and it could be a nice competitor to Xposed. Closed source and I will always go with Xposed instead.

And how are these techniques different from other scripts/mods/tools out there?
Any linux client?

No linux client included. But this thread I was copy from Kingo Root site.
And also no included any mod, tweak are in this tool. As same like root file for Gio which is need install from recovery. It just give some files root which included busybox installed ADB shell installed and give best performance from file root.

Then, what is this?

Given the highly doubious background to Kingo and the little information you provide to developers regarding your rooting app, I think it's time for you to stand up and come clean. Remember that even linking to your website was banned from XDA until recently. Nobody is asking you to give up the vulnerability you use to gain root or your other rooting secret.
But most of us would really like to know:
Why is your windows executable so damn large? (~24MB!)
(What exactly is in it that require it to be so, when most others level out ~5MB.)
What exact files are installed on the windows machine used?
What exact files are installed on the phone being rooted?
Who are you and why should anyone trust you?
(Especially when you seem to be afraid to come forward.)
What exact information is being sent to your servers?
Does rooting require an internet connection? (If so why?)
What is your business model, how do you make a living?
(Someone must be paying your website hosting costs etc.)
Until there is some more transparency in this, I will not recommend anyone to use your rooting method, even if I think it look very good.
Best wishes,

Hi,
No like that. After I downloaded that software. I have enable Antivirus and scan it first before install. I did get any virus on that software. I have post every thread of Young, Mini, Gio. There a message from user that he dont say about virus. It's normal. You've misunderstood. Check Official Site too. No virus as I mention it.
And if virus available after check it, i will clean it all.
