Hi,
I tried doing the Oneclick root with my Epic that is running 2.1 Eclair. When I installed Titanium and busybox it said phone is rooted. BUT when I start the phone in Manual mode to install update it only has 4 options:
Reboot
Install update
Wipe data
Wipe Cache
When I scroll down and select Install update it starts the process and then says e.signature verification failed update aborted. Is there something I am not doing right? I tried to unroot and reroot the phone but still get the same thing.
When I try the Root process with Oneclick Software for Samsung Galaxy One Click root it says the phone will restart and to select reinstall packages but I do not have that option. It still has the options shown above.
I know when I did my Hero and Evo I could get root and install Roms with no problems.
Can someone help please.
From reading you just need to install clockwork and then install roms and stuff. The kernels include a root, so install clockwork and install the rom I have in my signature. It already includes a kernel so that helps by one less thing you have to do. The one in my signature I have had no issues at all.
I installed rom manager (which is clockwork, right?) and tried to install a rom that way but when it reboots it goes to the same screen and gives the same message.

How are you rebooting into recovery? It sounds like you're hitting the stock recovery. Shut the phone down entirely and hold Vol -, Camera, and power. Keep holding until after the Samsung logo goes away.
Does this bring you more options?
If you still get nothing, try this instead
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=808103
Nope.... Same options. I will read the link you provided.
Also, Busybox says that my phone is rooted then I click install and it says I do not have nand unlocked. Maybe this is the problem?

I might be wrong here, but I'm pretty sure getting nand-unlocked is a part of the rooting process. Perhaps the root didn't work entirely for you, I had a lot of problems using the 1 click root with my first epic because of timing, I had to open the batch file and replace the ping 127etc (the delays) with a pause command because the phone took too long to respond and the second half of the rooting process would fail. Try the link I posted, it worked out well on my first phone.
Thanks....So far I have removed the Oneclick root from it and now it says the phone is not rooted. My next step is to root again... Hope it works.
Worked great! Thank you!!!

Awesome, Glad to hear you're up and running, Now you get to do the fun stuff (roms!!!!)
Yup.... Already got my Rom of choice installed and happy... Did not take long at all.
Hey Guys. So Some of you may know towelroot was just released by Geohot. I went ahead and tried it on my G2 runing stock 4.4.2 and it WORKED! I ran root checker after running the apk and it said I have full root level access. You just have to download SuperSu from market afterwards. I downloaded root explorer and was prompted with the prompt to grant root and all was well!
Link to original post: http://tinyurl.com/pykqkpt
1. Go to http://towelroot.com/
2. tap the logo for apk
3. Run the apk and follow directions within
4. After phone reboots, Install SuperSu
ALL DONE!
A side note, I haven't tried using rom manager to install custom recovery as I'm not sure if we've found a button code. If someone is willing to help me with that Id be grateful. I can't afford to brick this phone as it's my only phone work work and play.
AWESOME.
Can anyone else confirm this before we try? any bugs?
And how do I go about installing TWRP recovery (or any other suitable recovery)
All is working fine, flash twrp recovery with autorec app by cloudy.
As a side note, please donate to Dev if you can. I know i did.

It worked for me, but can we install custom roms now since we can use autorec to install twrp?
This was already posted in the top level apps section for lg g2
I tried to install recovery with an app called RecoverX, it claimed to do its job but I can't get the device to reboot to recovery. Tried holding the power/volume down like they say but it didnt work.

When I see they said it would root a S5 on VZW I was pretty hopeful. I knew this was coming real soon. But I went ahead and did it the hard way anyway.

Just to clarify, you've managed to install TWRP on your G2 and boot it into recovery with autorec? Just want to make sure before I try.
Never used autorec so if you've got a guide to link to that'd be great.

too late I used a autorec and actually got the phone to TWRP. I then proceeded (stupidly) erasing everything and wiping the device because I thought I'd be able to mount it and copy the CyanogenMod file I wanted.
Boy was I wrong.. TWRP did not allow me to mount the device to USB. And for some reason I couldn't get the right driver to install in Device Manager.
At one point I decided it would be a good idea to restart, now I'm stuck at boot loop and I can't get back into TWRP. I tried holding power+down, that forces it to restart a bunch of times. I held the UP button but that puts it into FIRMWARE UPATE mode which also doesn't allow ADB
How do I get back to TWRP? how do I flash Cyanogen mod through ADB
Any ideas please?

Hold vol down + power button until screen flashes black followed by lg screen release buttons and quickly press both again and hold. It will boot you to a white screen asking you if you want to fully factory restore...press power to agree... Since twrp replaced factory recovery it will not wipe but instead take you into twrp...takes a couple tries sometimes... You need cm and gapps packages on your internal memory to flash through twrp
If you wiped everything you will have to start over by flashing the original firmware again. It happened to me too because I didn't have the ROM I was flashing on my device already. I used this guide, http://youtu.be/Lg693AYgoTo, to flash back to stock JB, then upgrade again. Just be sure the rom is you want to flash is on your phone since USB won't work. It's no guarantee though, esp. since there is that driver error.

What are you trying to accomplish connecting to computer?
Nevermind I forgot you can choose files from computer when connected...but yeah...may need full restore...there are a few step by step threads on here to do so
Same problem I encountered, so I just figured USB is a no go and had to do the firmware update and then start over with ROM and GAPPS on device next time.Hope you get it...it sucks with all the excitement and all the time us G2 owners had to wait!
Ugh. This sucks. this file is taking forever to download for some reason and I'm in no mood to start dealing with this ****.
I'm just going to take it to the T-Mobile store tomorrow.
It's rooted and they will check it with their diagnostic tool and tell you sorry. Just firmware update it to lose root first. Use this...easy...http://youtu.be/Lg693AYgoTo

OH wow. I ended up finding this wonderful little tool called LGMobile Support Tool which completely and automatically reset my device back to factory setting! That was SUPER easy.
I have tried for 4 hours using Weaksauce,SuperSu, then Sunshine then back to the other 2 to get M8 to root and s-off.
Have read every link I could find. I just don't know what I am doing wrong.
Weaksauce says rooted but then SuperSu says it cannot update the binaries.
So I go and try to use SUnshine after verifying weaksauce again but get Parser error Every time.
Yes I know it is probably right in front of my nose and I did or missed something stupid but right now I just wanna cry.:crying:
Can someone walk me through, step-by-baby-step on what to do or what I am doing wrong or missing.
Help please.
Edit: I probably should've started with asking if you were able to S-OFF lol if you were successful then..
SuperSu will not update binaries if you root with weaksauce. Something to do with the read/write so after running weaksauce download root checker to see if you are, it can take something like a minute sometimes but you should get a toast notification. Also weaksauce will not work on 4.4.3 so that's another thing to keep in mind.
Or you can just get TWRP or CWM recovery and flash SuperSU. You can essentially start way down past step 13 under "Recovery rooting" and start from step 5. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2708628
Since you got weaksauce to root have you tried firewater to soff?
Firewater only works on some devices. The passing error for sunshine could be a bad download. Try a different browser. There is no need to open SU. Try the firewater and adb method to achieve s-off and bootloader unlock. If your comfortable with a few adb commands.
I have version 4.4.2.
And have not tried firewater yet but will do so later and see if that does the trick.
Thanks everyone for helping.
I'll post back what happens.

Stop by the SunShine support chat, http://webchat.freenode.net/?channels=sunshine-support, and I will ensure you are rooted and ready to go. Will take no more than 5 minutes.
If you want to do it by yourself,
uninstall weaksauce, uninstall supersu, run sunshine to completion, then flash recovery, and then flash supersu.
If you don't want a custom recovery, again stop by support and I'll give you another app that will install su without using recovery.
so after staying up till 2 Friday I was ready to give up. Deduced to try Sunshine since I couldn't get anything else to work, I uninstalled everything, opened a different browser, downloaded & paid Sunshine, and oila! Rooted???
Thank you everyone for the help. Jcase......... much appreciation to you for your work.
I do have one question about a symbol that showed after installing SuperSu/superuser. The phone powered off then an icon of a phone with a red triangle with an exclamation point appeared for a minute. Phone seemed to shutoff again then booted normally. What was that?

Thats stock recovery, hold vol up and press power to see the menu.
I suggest flashing TWRP or another proper custom recovery

Black screen after freeazing in TBu
So my next issue is I froze something in TBu pro and now have a black screen. I can access the quick settings from the upper corner and can see recent apps. But cannot use the back or home button and homescreens are black.
Can anyone help? What did I freeze that caused thi and how do I reverse the problem if I cannot get back into TBu pro?
I am afraid to restart the phone.
I can text using icon from lock screen, and can access apps from the recent app listing but TBu, camera, and tapatalk show black.
What about a soft reset with power+vol. buttons? Or am I hosed?

What "something" did you freeze? Do you have a recent nandroid back up?
I know I responded to this last night but it isn't showing here.
anyway, No nandroid backup.
I Stupidly did not do any backup other than Titanium, once.
Was so impatient I did not wait for a reply to my question about which was better: TWRP or
CWM and did not run Nandroid even though the pretty little icon is sitting right next to TBu icon
in drawer. ??
Yes I know how incredibly stupid this was. And will be kicking myself for this one for a long time.
Before screen went black and back&home button stopped working I froze Facebook for HTC one,
Blink feed, some My Verizon something, and the very last item on the listing that had odd characters
and the word icon.
Without the backup is there anyway to fix this or get back into TBu? What will happen if I try to reboot into recovery?

Did you install a home screen launcher from the play store? Blink feed is the stock launcher so it sounds like that may be your problem. Have someone text you the play store link to a launcher like the Google Now Launcher. Click on the link and you should be able to install the launcher and then you be fine.
Then after you get everything back to working order MAKE A BACK UP! Make sure you keep your back ups up to date! The number 1 rule is make a backup before you do anything.
Will try that, thanks for suggestion.:fingers-crossed:
And I solemnly swear I will ALWAYS create&run backup Before doing anything ever again.

Good to hear! If you don't mind push the little "thanks" button on a couple on my posts.(I'm trying to win the internet! LoL)
It is probably personal preference but I feel TWRP has a better UI.
You could also try PhilzTouch it is CM based but all touch like TWRP. I do however agree TWRP UI is much nicer.
I would like to try TWRP but after installing Goomgr it won't install Open recovery script.

Hey, guys. I found a way to root Alcatel Onetouch Flint by Cricket Wireless. First, you have to enable USB Debugging and Unknown Sources. Then, download the kingroot app from kingroot.net After rooting is complete, reboot your phone. When it boots back up, download SuperSU from google play. It will ask to update binary click normal. It will ask you to remove other superuser apps (kingroot and purify) click ok andit will do it for you. If it says binary update failed just click reboot and superSU works fine ater reboot.

No custom recovery yet cuz we can't unlock the bootloader yet
So I found an option to "allow OEM bootloader unlock" in developer options but still no way to actually unlock it yet
I know I'm late to the party, but wanted to say good work and I got one myself after they lowered the price at Target to $50. Purchased an unlock code for $6 and will be using the root method you lined out after I get and use my sim unlock code. Thanks again!!!

It worked for me! Guys just follow his guide and u should be good. Thanks @jsowen321
Getting SuperSu to replace Kingroot was super annoying and frustrating.
SuperSu Me just hangs cause KingUser doesn't like to be replaced and it makes sure you know that by installing itself as a system app.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/apps-games/replace-kingroot-supersu-t3339950
That did for me effortlessly and SuperSu updated the binary after soooo many failed attempts.
"sh switch_armv7.sh"
You'll understand after you read the last step.
SuperSu Me should be ran after switching to remove KingRoot files from phone.
Root, Xposed and TWRP is easily achieved as long as you know how to follow directions.
Thank you @Casey Campanile & @jsowen321

Yea just restart ur phone. If KingRoot is still installed, remove it, and then reinstall KingRoot again. If it's already removed just reinstall it. After rooting with KingRoot, download SuperSU from Google play and update binary using the "normal" method. Then it will ask to remove other superuser apps click OK or yes so it will remove KingRoot for u
Thank you for taking the time to deal with my issues. I did as u instructed, uninstalled and reinstalled then installed SuperSU. Unfortunately it says install failed,. Now what I'm afraid of messing things up thank u

You can root this phone without having to go through the kingroot app. See this thread:

Hope this helps anyone who recently purchased this phone!
So what can I do with this now that I've rooted it? Is there some new rom I can install to run the latest Android? This is my first Alcatel...I've been a Samsung Galaxy S person for a bit. Looking for some fun with the Alcaltel.

i have been useing this for days now and u can istall as mennt root apps as u like aslong as u flash the stock boot it will allways let u use any app thats blocks root
thank you this is the fist time i have releced my of work due to not being able to read and wright
Got it working on the note 7 port Rom
I'm on a Note 5 and going to give this a try using my version of TWRP. Will edit this post and report findings!
Able to boot after flashing the first .zip. Always got boot loop previous after flashing TWRP but not flashing root! Thanks for the solution!
Basically the minimum I want is the ability to remove my boot sound and update my hosts file. This lets me do that but otherwise be stock. Good enough. Wish I had xposed, root, but still Android Pay and PGO without reboots but that's ok.

If u need a hand let me know
I can not install "no-verity-opt-encrypt-2.1.zip" it says :
"Error: Unpacking boot image failed!"
I am using Note 4 (N910c)
Update : so i have learned that i dont need no-verity-opt-encrypt-2.1.zip
my phone dos not have encryption so i basically skipped that step and *bang* i am rooted and can play pokemon. Thanks much

Can anybody confirm that this is true for me? I haven't seen anyone else mention this.
Hello, I would like your help.
First of all, sorry for my poor English.
I installed the Root Switch to use Pokemon Go, but my phone crashed and rebooted while I played. After that, I was not able to activate root again, including the SuperSU app says my cell does not have Root.
Does anyone know how I should proceed? Would redoing root solve my case?
Thank you.

Yes that's correct
It looks like the Root Switch has stopped working, at least here on my S4 I9505 with Android 5.0.1.
Anyone else going through this?
Root Switch never work on my G900T S5 with Lollipop 5.1.1
There was a safetynet update last week that breaks RootSwitch. Had to go the Magisk route but now can use Android Pay along with PoGo
