Answered many times please search...

I believe you can, but you can't use a one click root method. Everybody still says it's easy to do, but I don't quite get it. I'm not an idiot, but I just don't understand some of the stuff they say to do. Apparantly you have to "install nvflasher through clockworkmod". I see where I can download clockworkmod, but it's just a bunch of DLL files and an exe I think. Then I saw something about installing drivers and they lost me. My only guess was the drivers it installs when you plug your phone into your computer via the usb port? I don't know. Anyway, after installing the nvflasher, I guess you can just flash roms. I don't quite understand how to do that either though, lol.

Follow the first part of this video to get clockworkmod recovery on your phone. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cy9on64jAZs)
From there you can flash roms. In the dev section there is a stock rooted ROM by xboarder.

This.
All the instructions are here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1056847 thanks to TGA_Gunnman. I understand a lot of us are new to rooting/flashing but there's so much information just lying around that it's beyond how many times the same question is asked.

what I don't get is what to do if you only have a mac.

You can also use superOne clicks new app. Only works on windows

Are you saying this method works on the stock Gingerbread rom? I thought SOC didn't work with GB on the G2x.

Just a heads up...I don't think this will work. Unless SOC updated to a new version. Just search the forums use this "how to root after OTA " I recommend NVFLash CWM then if you want 2.3.3 rooted search "stock OTA rooted." Posted by xboarder. Or use a custom rom. This has been asked to many times. Yes it is possible to root some other way. That to is covered by xboarder also. Unless SOC has a new version out with in the last week it wont Work.....read post 4665. But I do have great news......the search options in the forums do work and even Google searches will direct you to xda. If you find a post about something read all of it. Then read the OP(opening post) 3 to 4 time looking at dates and change logs..
So to recap
1) SOC will not work. NVFlash clockwork.
2) use the search/Google.
3) if you read this and did not see xboarders name at least once befor this post, reread.
4) read and reread.....keep reading....the answers are posted.
5) read the OP. Look at dates and change logs.
If you don't like my response to this post go buy an iPhone. The rest of us are sick of seeing the same questions. That is all

Well said.

I was surprised the walkthrough provided here for using NVflash was actually really EASY. whoever made it made sure it was idiot proof. got it on my first try.

Yeah, I might look at it again and give it a try later on. There's still a few things i'm confused about though.
I didn't know you could flash roms without rooting first. But I guess flashing a rooted rom technically does root your phone? It's just a different way of achieving root? Also, if you are gonna flash roms, I thought you had to do the nvflash routine.. which would root your phone anyway.. lol.

I believe some cases that could be true. Root could be needed to install a flash recovery. Our phone use nvidia. The nvflash utility makes it easy. Some one please correct me if I am wrong. When you nvflash you are replacing the factor/stock recovery with CWM. At that point you could put any Rom you like. I kind of see it like a boot disk. Root allows you to see system folders and such. Kind of like having admin rites on your computers operating system. Root also aloes programs to modify system information. To compare this to the common computer root is like an admin account in windows. Unroot is like a user account that companies give you on their computer. CWM is like having a boot disk. I hope I cleared that up for some one.

Hey I know u mean well but I would first ask doniqcc since it is his rom ya know

Root first?
So with this whole NVflash thing, does that mean you really don't need to root first, because NVflashing is already rooting it for you?

Yes and no, in that order. You can use nvflash to replace the stock recovery with a custom recovery, such as clockworkmod recovery. Using custom recovery, you can flash any rom that's compatible with the phone. Most of the roms have superuser privileges (root) built into them.

Good news i found a root for and it works i am so happy and now i dont have to mess with the eaglesblood rom (now offence) but you do have to flash clockworkmod recovery in order to flash the su root package for my info go to facebook and search LG G2x (official)

Huh? The info has been on this board for weeks how to do that already.

Thanks for the help everyone, I get it now!
Hey everyone, I just want to let you all know that I was able to do the NVFlash, backup everything, and install CM7.
I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT THE HECK I WAS WORRIED ABOUT!!!! It was so incredibly easy.
CM7 is installed, however I'm having issues with my APN now working and losing its information, I've posted for help on that in another thread.
Thanks again, and to those out there who worry like I did...have no fear....CWM is a neat tool, ESPECIALLY for backup of your entire phone.
Thanks.

[Q] How safe is it for me to root (within reason)

firstly.... good evening to all,ive been a casual observer of xda for a few years now and have chosen to sign up for a niggling qiestion! i have n Sony Xperia E (c1505) single sim and just wondering how safe(ish) is frammaroot and which version is the best to use? my device is as follows:
model number c1505
android version 4.1.1
baseband 76xxu-usnskolym-2540
kernel version 3.4.0-perf
build number 11.3A.0.59
at the moment its telling me an update is ready which will make the build number up to 11.3.A.2.23...
i dont wish to update yet if i can get away with using frammaroot,also im sure i read somewhere that the update will erase root access (will cross that bridge when i come to it) ive flashed roms before so not really interested in that side of things,mainly just adblocking and removing some of the google junk!! i have done a search on here but with so many threads relating to it i hope this is just a simple question although a long post!!

you can use cydia impactor to root it after you update
link to it: http://www.cydiaimpactor.com/
if it doesn't work for you, you can also flash the old 11.3A.0.59 kernel with flashtool, root it with framaroot apk and then flash the 11.3.A.2.23 kernel again.
both methods are pretty safe if you follow instructions and even if something goes wrong (again, pretty impossible) you can just fix the phone with Sony pc companion.
here's a small guide by another member on how to do the kernel flashings with flashtool and root: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2409525

thank you sir,yes ive seen cydiaimpactor also another one i was thinking about,i was really trying to avoid any flashing but i was unaware of fixing any problems via sony pc companion,what are its limitations as in if i completely mess it up would that do all the hard work for me so to speak,i dont really want to change any effect it would have on the other apps for example the facebook app and notifications etc?
also i see many have used it but cant seem to find a tut for it? also the links on the mentioned thread are all 404's

Rooting is very safe. Even if you mess up and the phone is unbootable, Sony PC Companion will 1-Click restore your phone to a working state. There is always the change of hardware-breaking your phone but you have more chance of winning the lottery.
You can also easily un-root using the same tool so any problems found after rooting can easily be rectified. Another benefit of rooting is the ability to install a recovery manager (I recommend CWM) which will allow you to fix most problems with the device if something goes wrong at a later stage. (You can also install a custom ROM but thats a whole other discussion)
If you would like some more information then send me a PM or leave a reply.
If I helped then please leave me a "thanks"

Pay? You don't need the pro version, There is a free version, you could also Try DoomLord's version or SUper One Click. Just remember Rooting is by your own liking if your phone gets bricked don't put the finger at me

[Q] Root Samsung Galaxy S Duos (GT-S7562L)

After noticing that the root on this page is not for my phone I'd like to ask for help. My international phone runs 4.0.4 Ice Cream Sandwich and I really want to root it, but its getting hard to find any trustworthy rooting instructions for my phone, as it isn't very popular. I found a page that uses something called "Bin4ry" to root it and it showed me the source of it, and it was a development thread in here. As i read the supported devices I did not find mine! I was about to root it but not finding my phone on that list did not really convince me. So, if anybody has the device GT-S7562L and has rooted it, or knows how to root it, or maybe knows if Bin4ry actually supports it? Thank you for your help I'm having trouble rooting this phone, and I'm vey skeptical about the issue! Also, if i do root it, what data is wiped? Is my cutom launcher (Nova Launcher) still gonna be there?

rooting do not wipe anything....
understand this:-
Q. What the hell is Rooting ???
A. If you are familiar with the Windows operating system and its basic terms,then you must be aware what the 'Run as Administrator' option does.Its almost the same thing that rooting allows you to do in your Android.In layman language,it allows you to play around with the system files making you the true controller and administrator of the device you have shelled out so much money for.For example,changing the splash screen (the welcome screen that shows up whenever you switch on your phone,usually having the manufacturer's logo),or deleting some crap apps your mobile came loaded with,every such extraterrestrial thing requires you to have the adequate permissions to edit or replace system files.
and did search on how to root your device
i found some guides but they are for GT-S7562 and your device is GT-S7562L..
im not sure if it would work for your device or not....

apparently the main difference between gt s7562L and gt s7562 is 3g radio band use.

HTC Quick Root?!

Hy, Thank you for checking out my post.
I got little problem,
So i wanted to play Clash Of Clans on my phone, the only problem i have is that the application is incompatible.
So searched some fixes how to do that, and the majority of them were APK file's or Buildprop or Market Helper.
And they all looked great and that they would work, but every time you needed to Root your phone.
This is my first time rooting a phone so i wanted to be sure i would not make any mistake's or fails.
So i was looking up on how to root my HTC Desire S, and i came a cross this site that noticed me on the program called: HTC Quick Root, but im wondering what to do from there since there are no tutorials or forum's that show this work's, or maybe i am just a retard in searching stuff...
But yea, i was wondering if you guys know if its: Safe? Or how it works? and what Root Method to choose (Universal Exploit or Insecure Boot.img, i want Market Helper btw)
Pleas let me know, and if you guys think im a dump ass and im doing something really wrong, pleas dont go hard on me, im a noob

You need S-OFF + insecure kernel to use the Quick Root.
Easy way to gain ROOT access:
Unlock your bootloader using HTCdev.com
Flash TWRP (custom recovery) via fastboot
Flash SuperSU (root) via TWRP

Any reason to get mad ?!
root = gain root access for your device
S-ON/S-OFF means "Security Flag" of your device on/off. Stock is S-ON
I can't suggest the "quick root" as it won't make anything easier for you if your device is running stock android.
TWRP is a "custom recovery" which gives you the ability to flash any custom roms or zip files. SuperSU is a zip file that will grant you permanent root access.

Help rooting Samsung galaxy j3 (sm-J337a)

It seems everywhere I go there is no root for this phone (sm-J337a) it's an at&t phone. I used kingoroot, kingroot and basically any root out there. nothing has worked. So this seems that it has no root made for it yet? is there any possibility for someone to do this? Sorry, I'm not too good at rooting as a whole. But I've used Odin and things like that before.
there doesn't even seem to be CWM or TWRP for this phone either.
it's running Android 8.0 and was made in 2018.

Right?
I'm having the same issue. I can't figure out how to root mine either and I've got the same phone and carrier.

Details of your current ROM Please..?

Hi all.. I know this thread is a little old but thought id add this.. As of this date Ive found no ROOT solution for the SM-J337A - AT&T variant either.. I have found a lot of other software and such and as soon as I can get it all sorted, cataloged, and uploaded to the cloud I will see about placing some links here somewhere to all of them.. Not sure how long it will be..Stay tuned...
I happen to inherit a J337A with a cracked screen but was working fine until I updated it and tryed ROOTing it.. Im still Playing with it to see if I can revive it.
Having issues finding a UB compatible Firmware set that I dont have to pay for.
Am needing "J337AUCSBBTI1" or maybe "J337AUCSABTE1" to see if I can bring it back to life.. I may end up pitching it tho...

I can give you the exact files along with the patched magisk file and you'll have to flash it with patched odin and you should be good. Let me know.

Instead of sending a patched magisk file would you mind sending over the method you used to root? If you did what I think you did I'm very confused. The phone is OEM locked although this hasn't stopped others from accessing root before. If you can confirm you have the phone we have, the SM-J337A ATT then you can pull out the boot and recovery images using a root app. Then I could develop a working TWRP for our device. But ofc this is only possible if you explain how you went about rooting the device. Thanks in advance.

I have both SM-J337P/A and it works the same on both. I'm not sure why you wouldn't be able to be oem unlocked? You mean greyed out? Or does it not show up at all or what? If I go into developer options I have the oem unlock option, which then allows me to unlock the bootloader. If yours is greyed out I saw a solution on XDA a long time ago, maybe a year ago. I'd have to look for it in my files, I know I saved it somewhere. Let me know what you meant by that and we can go from there

I do not have the option to OEM Unlock the phone period. It is not in my developer options unfortunately. If you do find something of that nature please do contact me. Also if you would like a TWRP for your device I'd be up to developing it, although I wouldn't be able to maintain bugs... All I need is the kernel and I can get it done.

Any updates on this?
