[Q] Rooting a pantech breakout

I need a nuub way to root a pantech breakout running 2.3.3 gingerbread.

not rootable
sorry to inform you but the breakout is 100% unrootable

It's not impossible.... it's just no one has worked on it yet. There is some promising results with the zergroot/DoomLord root kit. No one has officially posted they've broken their Pantech Breakout with it yet.
Anyone willing to try it and post back???

I'm now running a pantech breakout rooted. It's beautiful having all the clutter and crap apps gone ^.^

What apps did you remove? Did you use Titanium or Root Explorer? I used root explorer and removed the obvious ones, but i wanted to make sure i didn't miss anything.

doesnt work anymore
stops with this error:
[-] Hellions with BLUE flames !
(and then after that, will not let the device connect anymore

Stopped working after the update. Checkout the Pantech Forum on Android Forums for a different root method. There is also a rooted ROM available there too

Thats a shame as you can get them for fairly cheap on craigslist

If anyone is trying still...
I just used the all in one root from android forums and it seems to not work at first. Even with fastboot drivers installed it kept hanging in fastboot for me. You have to use "fastboot continue" then it boots again normal...
Even at that unless you know to run a check root app you may think its pointless but its rooted if the script completed and tells you success.

Device not found problem
I'm trying to root my Pantech Breakout, and I'm running into a problem where the rooting program can't find my device. For example, in SuperOneClick, it will kill the ADB server, try and start it again, and give the message "daemon not running, starting it now on port 5...". It says "daemon started successfully", but that's as far as it gets. I've tried reinstalling drivers and restarting, with no success.

Pantech Breakout is Rootable using King Root

Pantech Breakout is root able using King Root simply download the one for your computer and then plug in your phone the software will do the rest. The application that goes on your phone will not root your device. Does anyone know how to add Verizon backup assistant back onto the phone. I was deleting all the original bloatware from Verizon but after i did a factory reset it said i needed backup assistant. Help please anyone??????? Any questions about King Root just ask.

I've had sone sucess with badiu root. However after I root I can't get supersu to allow root access to apps. And when I reboot my phone into recovery mode and scroll down to where it says rooted, it says it has been rooted but I still can't get any access to delete all the bloatware.... HELP

sorry to inform you but the breakout is 100% rootable with Baidu Easy Root from 1mobile market. Not the crap new version from the Baidu webpage. Rooted my Breakout in less than 5minutes where everythingvincluding kingroot & towelroot failed miserabley. U obviously didn't check your facts because your posting fiction dude. It took me probably all of about an hour of trial and error before I tried the 1mobile markets version of Baidu with 100% success with full root .....your all welcome-----LePeRcoN530

That's because the breakout firmware is too old and not comparable with supersu.....u have to use the older superuser instead. Install and run the superuser update fixer along with it & boom-------Moneyshot!!! Lol once again

Added note #2:
To install Recovery with no hassle, download either the twrp or cwm version & flash with the Nexus Root Toolkit. Faster and less hassle with more working options than the suggested "one click root & Recovery tool for pantech breakout" that was apparently designed for the device. The pantech tool kit is dodgey, unreliable, moody and finicky in comparison. Nexus toolkit is no questions asked install

I just successfully rooted my zte groove last night.
Step one: download ministroII.apk and poot.apk to sd card.
Step two: Must do it --> Format your phone. Backup contacts etc if you want.
Step three: install both ministroII and poot and start poot.
Step four: Download the additional libraries.
Step five: CRITICAL : restart phone. If you dont poot will give error.
Step six: upon startup run poot, and hit "click here to poot"
Phone will restart upon success. Congrats your now rooted. There is no custom recovery so be careful if you mess up your phone you will not be able to reflash a rom.
Reply if this works for you! This is my first post so help me not look like a noob.

Poot is developed for rooting android phones, it's apk contains the superuser binary. You really shouldn't root your phone if your not aware of all this.

Uhm did you ever try Framaroot 1.9.3? I've seen that it will work using Boromir, Faramir and Barahir exploits. But before doing it, make sure you did a user backup of your phone.
Power Off your device, hold power button and volume down button at the same time, choose create user backup. It will take about 15 mins. and 100.0+Mb of your phone memory.

I've tried Framaroot 1.9.3 and it works for the first time, the after three factory resets it won't work and the SuperSU app doesn't show, which is my indicator if the root was really successful. Must've been a bug. The solution I found with this problem is
I installed the SuperSU app myself form a previous backup. It worked after another reboot and my phone was rooted (Which is a Cherry Mobile Topaz). If you want, try it on your phone but if it works on mine doesn't it works on yours too.

how can I downgrade my phone? its Alcatel One Touch Inspire2. Please help

[Q] Frustrated looking to Root Samsung GT- I5800 Froyo 2.2

Hi
Ok I know this is an old phone but I hope someone can help .
I've been hunting the forums for an easy way to root my Samsung GT-I5800 running Froyo 2.2.
There's lots of advice on the forums but they are old threads and the links they give to the suggested appllications such as :
Superonclick . z4root , etc don't work or the files are currupt.
I have used Superoneclick on a later samsung phone and it mad the job really easy but the version I have won't work with this phone / android version.
Maybe is some one has a the z4root files they could upload them , or any other suggestions would be appreciated.
Thanks

Thanks for your response .
I've tried two versions of Superoneclick v1.7.00 and 2.3.3.0 and neither work for me.
I've just tried another tool x8toolbox , this gives an error ".... root not applicable to custom rom ..."
If you have a link to another version of Superoneclick I'll try that ?

Hi
Thanks . I had seen this YouTube video, the links to superoneclick no longer work.
In fact the two links direct form the shortfuse website no longer link to the file.

Well im not sure then. Im pretty sure z4root messes up something, and it may be you need to flash a custom rom in odin. Sorry but I cant try anything myself because I dont have the phone anymore (at least for a while).

Rather than rooting it is best to install a prerooted custom ROM via odin.

Hi
I looked for Odin on the market and it seem that Odin required root , so wouldn't I need root to use it ?
If not can you suggest a suitable custom rom ?

Odin does not require root. You have to get into download mode with a combination of keys. (May be Mobile Odin requires root, I never used it).
Check this thread for Custom roms. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1234591. I would suggest PuruKisadHybrid custom ROM.
Refer to this thread for how to use odin. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1372414
You need to install samsung drivers first.

Hi
Thanks for the information and links.
I was hoping to be able to root without wiping data but I will consider this method.
The odin tutorial was a bit hard to understand but I'll try watching carefully and it may become clear.

you can root without wiping data. Just search for rooting procedure in the forum. But custom ROM gives lot more features for you than stock one.

Hi i had this version of superoneclick 1.7.00 but it worked fine. Make sure u have turned on usb debugging and installed the drivers.Also in case of exploit use rageagainstthecage exploit and not psneuter.
And for drivers consider installing these http://drivers.softpedia.com/get/MOBILES/Samsung/Samsung-Galaxy-S-USB-Driver-for-Windows-x86.shtml

I haven't been able to find a non- data wipe method as varioius versions of superoneclick and other tools aren't working for me on this phone.
Perhaps I'll go down the custom rom route ,
If I can find some good clear instructions .
Thanks for your help.

Thanks for the link.
Unfortunately this one isn't working ether
Generating an excetion which ever exploit option is selected.
I wonder if it is an issue with the phone rather than the tool .
It has allready been hard reset to factory state ?

Has the driver been installed? Which OS you are using?
You need to install proper driver before trying to root. For your info, essentially all rooting methods are non-data wipe.

WHAT? This device has no separate recovery partition, neither CF-ROOT Kernel. This is not Galaxy S or S3
z4Root should work on 2.1, for 2.2 the easiest way is to use custom kernel, with it you get custom recovery and via that recovery you can flash some zip with su binary and then get Superuser/SuperSU app. SuperOneClick is buggy with G3.

Galaxy 4 7.0 SM-T230NU Root (vRoot)

After spending 2 days to figure out how I can get root on my newly purchased Galaxy Tab 4 7.0,
I finally got it to work through vRoot.
Here's a detailed instruction from ShinySide.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/tab-4/general/root-galaxy-tab-4-7-t230-t2835264
Now, where I had the problem wasn't what I did. Rather, it was the auto update that Samsung rolled out in August.
I tried doing through vRoot like, 50 times, and got the same result over and over.
Then I read ShinySide's post saying the August update interferes with vRoot so I had to flash my tablet with older firmware.
Lucky for me, ShinySide also has this available on this forum:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2778374
I did it with NE2, and BOOM. VRoot rooted my phone like a charm.
So, those of you who are having trouble with vRoot (probably seeing X mark instead of a check mark at the end)
check your firmware under About Phone.
If it says August, then you have to flash the device back to the older firmware.
That little detail made me go crazy for the past 2 days, so I thought I'd share that.
So, just remember two things:
1) Check your firmware!
2) DISCONNECT Internet as soon as you install vRoot and run it while you are NOT connected to avoid auto update.
And make sure to THANK ShinySide 'cause he made this possible!

Thank you for posting. I've been looking for root options for my T230NU and was skeptical about VRoot. I don't trust random apps that aren't even in English, you know?
Your post looks good so I may attempt to root as well. Please update if it turns out that VRoot is a bs virus.

I just tried the vroot method and should've known it was trouble when I had to uninstall my antimalware software to download and install it. Damn thing installed five other programs, including trojans, and changed my browsers to go through a proxy. Best of all, it did NOT work. Beware!

HELP!
I think I may have bricked my SM-T230NU
I googled how to root SM-T30NU and didn't realize google was showing me instructions for SM-T530NU when I actually was trying to root SM-T230NU
I followed this guide
(can't share links but if you google root SM-T30NU you should find it)
I get message I am in Odin Mode and my current Binary is custom system status official
It says "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies and try again"
I tried both versions of Kies I found and it doesn't show up in recovery mode.
I am a total noob, please help if possible.

Have you gotten it fixed yet? If not go to the opening post and find the link to the NE2 firmware. Follow instructions there to flash to NE2. You should be fine.
