ok i have come accross this but i am a little lost at the steps
wiki.rootzwiki.com/index.php/Motorola_Flipside
it says to download 3 files psneuter busybox and super user unzip the downloads into the same folder. then it says to open a terminal and change to the folder i dont understand this what am i suposed to to? it then says i need android sdk installed and working witch i do i installed it for android screencast. then it says adb devices but does not say how im suposed to enter this command. after that im fairly sure its from the cmd entering the commands shown on that link. can anyone tell me how to get throgh the first few steps please?
copyed from link
Manual Root
[edit] Download
psneuter: Download
Superuser: Download
busybox: Download
Unzip the downloaded files into the same folder
Open a terminal and change to the folder.
You need the android SDK and ADB working. To make sure type:
adb devices
if your device lists, then you are ready to go!
[edit] Gain Root
Run the following commands:
adb push psneuter /data/local/temp/psneuter
adb shell
chmod 755 /data/local/temp/psneuter
./data/local/temp/psneuter
ADB should hang, wait a little while and then type:
adb shell
NOTE: You should have the "#" sign instead of the "$". If you do, you have temporary root, and can continue on.
Type:
exit
adb push busybox /data/local/temp/busybox
adb shell
chmod 755 /data/local/temp/busybox
./data/local/temp/busybox mount -o rw,remount /system
The last command should return nothing
update i learned how to do the procedure and finished sucesfully however the phone is still not rooted. i did reboot the phone after it seems faster now but not rooted.i downloaded the root checker app and scaned the phone it emailed me a log and here is that log

is it even posible to root this phone?
i guess im not allowed to be helped or somthing.
i have a procedure here that i had to build up from 2 seperate write ups. i had to use this one http://androidforums.com/droid-all-...oid-without-rsd-lite-up-including-frg83d.html along with this one together http://wiki.rootzwiki.com/index.php/Motorola_Flipside to get it to root properly.
here is what i did. u will need the downloads from both links for this to work i beleive. follow the steps from the second link to gain root once u get to where the number simbole is shown in the command line u need to switch to the instructions in link 1 and start at step 13 and follow to the end. this works to root your flipside when nothing els will work at least for me it did none of the apps that are suposed to root for you worked for me.
thank you me for having to figure this out on my own have fun
Problem rooting
I rooted my Flipside at its stock state and it worked fine. And then I upgraded my software to 2.2.2 Froyo and lost the root so now I am trying to reinstall z4root and re-root the phone but z4root now doesn't work. It gets successfully installed but when I hit PERMANENT ROOT it just stays in that window with the turning wheel and gets stuck there. It doesn't completely root. I've tried the hard reset by pulling the battery, and hitting the back key and forced closing it and then trying it again. Nothing works! HELP!
I once had a flipside. I rooted it the stock rom and then updated to gingerbread and then rooted again. I used superoneclick though. I'm not sure which version, but there is (or was) a flipside forum here on xda with documentation on the entire process.
Edit: here's the forum link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=772

I see that you have omni. Have you tried reflashing the root from omni thread?
Until now I only followed to the letter that Thread and this is how i jumped from 4.2 to 4.4.2; and in that thread it clearly says if u r upgrading from that update u won't need to wipe so when i got the notification 4 or 5 days ago there is a newer update to 4.2.2 I did and it went smooth only thing that went berserk is it says device ain't rooted.
Dunno wot else to do (I reinstalled like i said above latest TWRP [used to use CWM but if i need to update i will have to wipe everything as the thread says] and Supersu)
tx for the help,
Roger
I think I can help you

Hi Roger,
Boy, I don't know how to stress this enough. Before doing anything, make a backup. After you are finished, you should reinstall your programs from the backup manually. Don't do an automatic reinstallation as there are some CM11 Program files that would make the Omnirom installation go into an endless loop.
CM11 has the Su built into it. If you use Omnirom you should first clear your Dalvik Cache and Cache, preferably doing a factory reset before installing your Rom as I mentioned about looping above.. You might want to install a newer Gapps file, as well as flashing a Superuser file-this last is a must with Omnirom
These 3 files should all be installed from your external sdcard. Just be careful not to format either of your sdcards.
k, I did a full install just like in the thread and for some strange reason it is still NOT rooted! wot gives lol. (remember the first time i did it i got my xoom working flawlessly.
is there any other thread that also provides kitkat for my xoom - i really don't care about omni or any other developer just need to have my xoom with latest kitkat.
tx,
Roger

*Since this problem can happen to other LG devices, I'm writing here.
-Summarized Question for Busy XDAers-
1.Installed su binary and busybox through Android System Recovery 3e.
2.Can get root access from LG Recovery mode, half access on ordinary boot+adb shell, Permission denied on terminal emulator app. SuperSu not working, and 'root' is granting permission every 5 minutes.
3.HELP PLEASE!
-Full Question-
Maybe it can be a real noobish question, but I need help rooting my G Pro.
LG started Kitkat update a week ago, and G Pro also got Kitkat update.
I tried to root my device using old methods, and new methods for other G devices, but none of them worked.
So! I tried making one for me, using Android System Recovery 3e(maybe it could be a problem?)
I booted my device to recovery using
Code:
'adb reboot recovery'
and sideloaded zip file containing su binary and busybox.
Of course I signed it with testkey, so I could get SuperSu, su binary, and busybox installed on my system.
But, after rebooting my device, I felt something went wrong.
I typed
Code:
'su'
command on terminal enulator, and got
Code:
'Permission Denied'
error.
Assuming it's related to permission and owner of su binary, I tried
Code:
ls -al /system/bin/su
.
Here's the result:
Code:
[email protected]:/ $ su
Permission denied
1|[email protected]:/ $ ls -al /system/bin/su
-rwsr-sr-x root root 85096 2008-08-01 21:00 su
It seems...nothing's wrong!
So I tried with adb, and got # without asking Superuser app.
But I couldn't mount system, as well as other commands require root access.
I removed SuperSu and downloaded Superuser by ChainsDD, but that didn't work.
Instead, I could see on log that 'root' was granting permission every 5 minutes.
Not knowing what the problem is, I rebooted device to LG recovery(diffrent from Android Recovery 3e).
I could access adb from there, and got root access and removed some garbage apps.
Then, it means su binary and busybox is working.
What is the problem??? Please help!
EDIT:It was binary version problem lol
[Q] Big Part&OMNI no more root (need 2 backup 2 change my Xoom to SAMSUNG Q9050 12.2
since I changed to BIG PART and OMNI i have 4.4.2 which is awesome but my Xoom Verizon doesn't show rooted anymore for Titanium Backup or any other Root app (even root checker pro tells me i am not rooted)
anyway my question is:
i am thinking of buying Samsung Q9050 (12.2" Tablet) how can i backup all of my games and apps and even system (like my wallpapers etc...) since i cannot use Titanium Backup
i know i can dump all of the Xoom on my PC but how to restore them and how to know which apps to restore since i can't see the folders containing my games , apps, etc..)
hope to get help.
Cheers,
Roger
P.S.: wot do u think about the Samsung Q9050 2.3 Ghz 12.2"?
You need to flash SU in recovery, once that is done you will be rooted and can backup with titanium backup. OmniROM doesn't come with root included
I did flash SU many times (SU 1.86) it actually comes in the OmniROM thread where i flashed my XOOM
http://forum.xda-developers.com/sho...tmctr=(not provided)&__utmv=-&__utmk=22130616
is there an SU u recommend? btw i cannot seem to download an SU i can only Install an SU (from google play store) - where can i actually D/L an SU in order to b able to place on SD and flash?
(in the thread we download:
Download Root
UPDATE-SuperSU-v1.86.zip)
tx a lot for the help;
and another dumb question - if i'm able to use titanium backup i can basically restore any backed up app on any android device right? whether it's a fone or tablet right? reason i ask is my xoom is the only android i use

Ladies and Gentleman,
I was able to root the HD8 6th Gen using Kingoroot while in airplane mode. I download the executable and ran it directly from my computer. My Fire tablet is on version 5.3.1.1 and was never registered with Amazon. I can run su in adb but the SuperUser app is not working on my tablet. I am looking into replacing the KingoRoot SuperUser app with SuperSU. I suggest you block updates as soon as you achieve root.
look at this thread to see if you can remove Kingroot and replace
https://forum.xda-developers.com/am...rtool-root-t3272695/post69855730#post69855730
This applied to 7" but may be same issue you are having. Note I would suspect you at least need to install the app since you used the PC version but then that might allow replacement fully. The Rootjunky script basically installs supersu and removes the kingroot app following this approach: https://www.droidmen.com/remove-kingroot-kinguser-with-supersu/
So now the questions are:
* Does the app work too or just PC version
* Does a device which has been used and registered with Amazon work? I am on 5.3.1.1, have OTA disabled, have Novalauncher sort of working, and managed to get Amazon to disable the ads lock screen but right now the device does not leave home due to Opendns constraints as I did not want to lose 5.3.1.1 while waiting.
Decided to try this on 5.3.2.1, ran Kingroot for PC few times (version 3.4.0 build 1142). Did not work. Hope it works for you 5.3.1.1 guys.
I believe 5.3.2 can be downgraded to 5.3.1.1 but I also believe 5.3.2.1 is confirmed to not be downgradable.
I was lucky and got my BF unit with 5.3.1.1 and blocked OTA right away
I register to reply this thread and tell everyone that 5.3.1.1 CAN BE ROOT using KingoRoot(not KingRoot)
blocked OTA and planning to place Kingoroot with Supersu now.
go kingoapp.c0m(replace 0 with o) and download the PC one.
Tried APK one but seems stuck at 90% or not enough patient?

Detailed instruction on post#38
so what is difference between
kingoroot
and kingroot
??
I am familiar with Kingroot but kingoroot seems to be another animal? Is kingo safe? We have a total of 3 lifetime posts from two accounts who are speaking its benefits....

honestly I dunno, I'm new to android, just bought the kindle to start playing with android...
but I found it difficult to replace the kingoroot with supersu, when I type su in terminal, it show nothing, can't give root permission to terminal emulator.
I replaced kingoroot with supersu following instruction from androidforums.com/threads/script-replace-kingoroot-with-supersu.919175/
After it's done, supersu doesn't prompt for root access. So I set 'default access' to 'grant' in supersu settings, and it seems to be working.

I was not paying attention, it's KingoRoot, not KingRoot. Downloaded KingoRoot for PC (v1.4.9), and tried on 5.3.2.1. Rooting failed, unfortunately.
I ran the PC kingo and rooted.
I then tried to remove and replace with supersu and it failed
I lost root
I tried to rerun Kingo PC but it wanted debugging enabled even though it was
tried the apk kingo (from kingoapp.com; playstore it is a adware hack)
got stuck at 90%
exited and kindle was really sluggish; maybe something to do with my novalauncher or something?
power off reboot and stuck in boot up (Fire image). Now can't boot.
Message is be careful with kingo when removing....will try restore now.
Edit: wiping data and cache did not help. Did brick recovery to 5.3.1.1 (which is what it was on when I got it), and managed to recover. Glad I don't have to send this one back to Amazon!
I will now restart kingo root effort and if it works will report back steps (including supersu replacement).
So I have root according to kingo but "root checker basic" says I do not have root.
Try to open "superuser" (which is a kingo superuser app) and it is just a blank screen then back to Home.
The removal tool that @2ig2ag linked did not work.
It failed on "mount -w -o remount /system" with "mount: operation not permitted"
I also tried to manual cp the su file over and get error "read only file system"
Edit: Despite kingo saying you have root, you don't. At least not complete root. I am unable to copy anything into system/app via ES File explorer too. I am unable to grant programs that want access, that access. For example, Titanium BackUp is unable to detect "Su and Busybox" so no go.
I am able to pm disable the firelauncher for example but that is about it

I soft-bricked once, stuck at fire logo, sideload adb and resumed normal.
I didn't use the root checker to check, the superuser included will crash when I launch it,
but I can su in adb shell..
@2ig2ag's way not work for me either,
I cannot run the script, it said permission denied, then I try to run it manually,
I can remount /system, it do not show any error, but I am stopped at "cp ./su /system/xbin/daemonsu",
it said "daemonsu" text file in use.
tried ultra explorer as another way to get to /system and it just locks up when trying to detect root.
Tried manually installing supersu.apk and it locks up and requires reboot to get back to working device.
@phpbb88 I retried "mount -w -o remount /system" and it worked; maybe I wasn't in su at the time. I get the same error on file copy
So to summarize:
you can: adb su
you can: pm disable fire launcher and OTA (not sure if unrooted allows this too?)
you can not:
write to /system
install any apk that require root and grant root access
switch to supersu
adb remount (fails)
I would not call this a successful root. I am not even sure of the pm disables will last more than 24 hours.

I am using a file explorer called "ES File explorer", it cannot view the system file when it is not root.
After Kingoroot, I can view them, but I still cannot create file in /system by using that File explorer.
However I can successfully create a dir in /system in adb shell, shown below.
[email protected]:/system # mkdir 123
[email protected]:/system # ls

app
bin
build.prop

I have made progress...with kingo install I did this:
copy the files of the kingo root removal to sdcard/kingo
adb shell
su
mount -w -o remount /system
cd /sdcard/kingo
cp ./su /system/xbin/daemonsu
fails because it is locked. Then I started to think that the steps were for the kingo app and not the PC so
with adb window still open, run PC program and remove root
then
cp ./su /system/xbin/daemonsu
chmod 0755 /system/xbin/daemonsu
daemonsu -d &
./step1.sh
got some errors
then sideload the supersu apk via ES file explorer
then allow supersu to do it thing and reboot.
Now I have supersu running!''
edit:
but do I have root?
Titanium backup still fails but ultra explorer does say it has root
now adb shell su fails.....

after the errors, did you install supersu.apk?
I ignored the errors thinking they were from differences between kingo apk and kingo PC versions of what they put on device.
Supersu does manage to install itself but root checker still says I do not have root.

I didn't finish all the steps in step1.sh, cause I have installed SuperSU at the beginning of time,
I then try to run Supersu and it said blahblahblah error, need to reboot my device.
wola, i lost my connection to root adb shell, and now going to root it again

I only install supersu as the step after running step1; it worked, and took hold (at least no errors and opening the program looks normal). The issue is that it won't grant access to anything (TB, flashfire, etc)

Kingoroot PC asked me to grant root access to it by pressing OK on my device's pop up when my device is under root,
but my device wouldn't show anything.
Is there any problem on fire OS that wouldn't show this pop up?
