Hello folks, this is my first post on this wonderful site!! I am trying to Root my Micromax Canavas HD. I am new to rooting and infact the "Operating system" perspective of android, although I am an experienced App developer for the same platform. Right now I am stuck with Flash Tool not able to recognize my device. When I run lsusb on my terminal prompt, my device is correctly displayed, however when I run lspci I cannot see my device. Clearly I am missing the "Drivers" part for my device. What steps need to be taken in order to achieve root on Ubuntu? Where do I find the drivers? I tried searching around Google and XDA but I found only bits and pieces which never connect.

I have tried everything to get a one click solution to enable non-market apps. First and foremost I am on a MAC. No access to a windows machine. I have my phone rooted and have installed superuser status.
I am looking for a solution that will let me install (easily) non- market applications. There appears to be several solutions doing this on a windows machine. I have not been able to find a solution on a MAC. And instructions, help, videos anything is greatly appreciated.
Thanks
PS: not a total nube, but I have limited knowledge of the root directory and manipulation, but follow instructions well ........
What firmware are you on? Because if you are on the leaked 2.2 you should look on the leaked ji6 hacks forum page and it will give you the instructions that you can run in adb shell in the terminal application on a mac you just have to type ./adb (command) where windows users just have to type adb (command) you should make sure that you are comfortable on adb though because there are hardly any tutorials for adb on a mac around. I found that the hard way. Hope this helps, if you still can't figure it out post more info and I will do my best to help although I am still kinda a noob to android development.

Thank for the help, I will look at thie ji6 hack and see if it works. I'll let you know. Right now I have spent 3 days trying to unlock this pile of dung. ATT should be shot for doing this people. We bought the phone let us put what we want on it. PERIOD
Have you tried ADB? If you can get ADB to work, you should have the skill to copy over the settings.db and use the SQLeditor for Firefox plugin. Or use SQLite on the phone.
Read up on how to enable sideloading - the same commands that work on windows work on a mac - or very similar. As long as you know how to copy files in terminal you should be set.
Hey folks -
I am a proud new owner of a Xoom, and would love to unlock and root it! I have had a Droid X for a while now, and while it is rooted, rommed and the rest, I have not dealt with a bootloader before. All I had to do was use Z4root and go from there, simple. I used a friend's PC at school to learn how to SBF if needed, and that's as far as I've gotten with Android.
I could really use help with unlocking the Xoom. I am running Parallels on my Mac (Windows XP Home) and am unsure how to go about installing Android SDK. Motorola Drivers I think I am all set, I've run the program and it says I'm up to date. With Android SDK, however, I downloaded the zip and it says there are no files to extract. I run the installer program for Android SDK, and it says I need Java JDK. I download Java JDK, and yet Android SDK installer program still says I don't have it.
I would really appreciate where to go from here, and I apologize if this has been covered somewhere else, but I did look around for quite a while and I don't want to do anything prematurely and mess up a $600 device. Again, apologies for my nOObness.
Thanks!
Sorry to bring this thread back from the dead, but I did exactly what you are talking about doing. Boot into your virtual machine and install all the sdk, moto drivers, and fastboot.
When connecting your xoom, enable USB debugging and make sure the usb device (when plugged in) is attached to your parallels machine only, it should give you an option when booting it up.
Everything works as normal, Parallels really has no drawbacks, just follow the root instructions as if you were doing it on a native machine.
I actually ended up just doing everything on my Mac natively, but thanks for the info! I think I was more confused on actually installing the SDK properly than anything else.
Can anyone please help me...?
I'm running Windows XP, using the Kindle Fire Utility, and have installed Android SDK Tools. I'm attempting to root a Kindle Fire running 6.3.1.
I have followed instructions (from here and elsewhere), and while the KFU driver installer would not install the proper drivers, I WAS able to direct Windows to the driver folder and have it install them directly. Afterward, Windows had no problem seeing (in Device Manager) the KF as 'Android Composite ADB Interface', indicating the drivers are correct.
Now the problem. No matter what I do, I can't get ANY of the root systems (KFU or SDK Tools) to see the device when it is connected. Tried to use Fastboot command to change the boot loader to 4002 fastboot mode, but it also hangs on '< waiting for device >'...
I can see the device as a mass storage device in 'My Computer' and can add or delete files from it without issue, but I just can't make any progress rooting this thing without the appropriate programs being able to see it!
I HATE feeling stupid, and this thing is REALLY making me feel like I'M the idiot that can't see what's right in front of his face! Can someone PLEASE light the neon sign that will finally illuminate what my obviously lacking vision refuses to see?? (T_T)
Thank you for taking the time to read all this, and thank you to ANYONE who answers with ANY useful information! I'll be watching, and waiting with baited breath for SOME sort of assistance...

<update> 120 views now, and not even a scathing remark about how much of a moronic noob I am... While waiting, I went to PCWorld, and tried to follow their step-by-step, downloading Firefirefire, fbmode, TWRP, AOKP, and Google Aps for AOKP release 38. Once again, attempted to follow directions, and once again, get one of the dreaded variants 'device not found' when trying to use adb to push the fbmode file to the KF... (T_T)
SOLVED!!
It WAS a driver issue! I would like to say:
Thank you, thank you, THANK YOU!!! To josepho1997!
He posted a link to a set of drivers that was EXACTLY what I needed to get the Kindle to be recognized by root software!
KF is now fully rooted and flashed, and running IceCream Sandwich!!
Sorry I posted this whole thing here, instead of in the Q&A for the Kindle Fire... for some reason, I thought that was where I was, but later noticed otherwise...
To admin: please feel free to delete this whole topic, as it wasn't in the right place to begin with...
Once again, thank you to josepho1997 for his post to themagicm containing the link to the FAR better driver set!!!

Thanks for quick reply ... I found 3 post regarding xolo q600
but I fear that am I able to do it or not..
Also I am researching more and getting confused about some terms like firmware, xposed frames...
Also is it necessary to install SDK studio from google before start to root ur device...
What is difference between ADB, SDK, Universal Drivers...
Also I am unable to find how to increase internal app storage permanently...
thanks again
If I get success it rooting and installing custom Rom then i will definitely try rooting another devices and learning more and more about android.

1) firmware is the factory installed operating system.
2) Xposed is a custom mod that works on most rooted devices, it let's you customize whatever ROM you have on your device to add new features, this is not required to root your device, it is something you use after rooting. Cross that bridge when you get to it, don't focus on that right now until after you are rooted.
3)Generally SDK is not needed to root a device, SDK is required for building things in android such as ROMs and apps. You won't need to know that until you learn how to be a developer.
4)ADB stands for Android Debug Bridge, it is a program on PC that is used to connect device to PC so that PC can be used to manipulate the device depending on what you are doing, basically used to pull data from the device and to push data to the device. There are more complicated things that it does as well but it requires experience to understand what those things are and how they are used.
5)SDK stands for Software Development Kit, it is used to develop software of all kinds to be used on android, again, you only need to know that if you become a developer and takes a while to understand and master.
6) universal drivers are general drivers that are used in android operating systems, these work the same as on PC, they allow the device to use the various pieces of hardware on the device. Just like PC, the device can't use any of its hardware without the drivers.
You are really asking about things that you don't need to know until AFTER you get your device rooted.
You need to focus on discovering if you have locked bootloader first and how to unlock it if needed.
Then you need to focus on the root method for your device.
Then focus on getting custom recovery
Then focus on finding custom ROMs for your device.
Without those things and those things ONLY, all the questions you are asking are doing you no good. You are asking how to perform brain surgery which requires going to college and you haven't even graduated school yet. You are basically putting the cart in front of the horse instead of the horse in front of the cart, the cart can't pull the horse, the horse must pull the wagon.

Hi all, first off im not a complete noob, I've rooted/bootloader unlocked a few phones, jailbroken apple devices etc... but this issue has me pulling my hair out now. Apologies if im in the wrong section of the forum.
So, i'm trying to unlock my bootloader on the OnePlus One using ADB through the Android SDK and i'm having several issues.
1 i cant get my phone to be recognised as an ADB device, have installed every single driver i can find anywhere, and none of it works, my phone has the necessary Developer Options enabled.
2 the Android SDK doesn't actually open for longer than a fraction of a second, i have tried multiple Java SDK's to direct the Android.bat file at, nothings happening for me.
3 i installed Eclipse to open the SDK in, Eclipse doesn't even open, it freezes
Im using Windows 10 on a HP630 laptop. Been trawling through the XDA forums among other forums and websites and im yet to find a solution, im about to try installing JDK 1.7 xxxx to see if i can redirect Android.bat to that version of the Java.exe
I'm aware of the process i have to go through to unlock my bootloader, its just i cant actually get the Android SDK to open, my phone to be picked up as an ADB device, and using Windows button +R to open ADB interface does absolutely nothing either, it flashes on for a fraction of a second and its gone again.
I'd appreciate any help anyone can offer me, im tempted to throw my laptop through the window.
