Hi XDA DEVELOPERS, can you find an auto root software for the new gingerbread 4.22.651.2 update? I didn't know when you update to the new 4.22.651.2 gingerbread; you can't use any of the previous rooting programs to root a phone such as the Evo 4G. I would really appreciate your help or the help of the forum community, because i really want to root my Evo 4G Thanks.
I would agree I got my new phone today (old one was broken and was rooted) and I cant seem to root my new phone I have 4.22.651.2, 2.3.3 AV, and 2.15_003 PRI. If you can point me to a rooting solution I would greatly appreciate it.
how about rooting it yourself ??

LOL yeah really 'helpful'
Is there any sign of root for the 4.22.651.2 update? my replacement came with it and this Sprint garbage is horrible. I had MIUI previously and miss root access. Unfortunately I'd have no idea where to start to look to do it myself.....So is there anything going on with it?
I'm in the same boat. The right 1cm of my screen stopped responding to touch input, so they sent me a replacement with 4.22.651.2 and 2.15.00.05.02 baseband. Really missing root and CM7 right now!
I'm having the same issue. I thought I was gonna be slick and root my phone in 10 min. I tried unrevoked3 but no luck. I got an error saying my firmware was too new. I'm seaching for a solution but no luck at this time.
Hi all,
Now we have root on locked devices (all creds to Morlok8k, I was wondering if an alternative to the Asus unlock tool is for grasp? I'm not a dev in any sense, but one of the unfortunate RMA-and-unable-to-unlock-bootloader guys.
So what do you guys think? Is it possible? I know Dan Rosenberg did the magic for a couple of Moto devices, and I would eternally grateful if I would be able to custom flash my TF300 which I love so dearly. :fingers-crossed:

Unlikely for JB boot loader and above. Same reason we cannot downgrade back to ICS boot loader.
Might be possible for ICS boot loaders, but not sure a dev is interested enough to put in the work.
Sorry, don't get your hopes up!
Though I like to be surprised too.

Yeah, I know... But we all know the magic that happens on XDA. "Not possible" is simply not part of their vocabulary :laugh: I guess we just have to wait and see! I'm sure all those Moto-users didnt' think they would be unlocked at all :victory:
I was pretty sure I wouldn't be rooting my tf300 any time soon and yet, here we are!
There is a thread in the development section where lots of very talented developers pulled apart the ASUS unlocker app to try to do what you propose. Unfortunately, they all came to the same conclusion. It's just not gonna happen. If someone like the guy who unlocked the Motorola bootloaders were to try, there would be a chance, but he's, like, one in a billion.
I would love to see this happen even though I'm already unlocked, just because. But I wouldn't hold my breath.

Unfortunately, I'm not in the US, so I'm out of luck. But there's good news too! I've actually am in touch with Dan Rosenberg at the moment :laugh:
He asked me through PM what was up with the Asus bootloader. I've send him the following e-mail:
Hey Dan,
Thanks for your reply concerning the Asus unlock bootloader tool. I'm very grateful to get your attention, since you are truely legendary within the scene (and I'm not even a dev myself ) The issue that they have is that all TF300's returning from RMA are not unlockable anymore. I've send mine in for 3 times to have this issue solved (first it returned without SN inserted, next time I couldn't do OTA update / unlock, same goes for it now).
There are numerous threads on XDA where people are complaining that they can't unlock. Any contact with Asus about this is clear: we are not supporting the unlock tool. What the unlock tool does is send the proc ID + SN to the servers of Asus (encrypted) and the unlock code will be returned. So far no one has been able to bypass this in any way (mostly because of the heavy encryption used, people say it "can't be done". But then again, I never thought I would be able to root my locked tablet until your fantastic tool came along.
Thanks for your time, I know there would be a lot of happy people out there to be able to custom rom their tablet.
I hope you can help us out. If there's anything I can do (eg: borrow you my locked tab), I'd be happy to. I know how frustrating this is (including Asus attitude), and if I in some way can help people out, I'd be happy to have my share in it.
Thanks again,
Kind regards
Fingers crossed that he might be up for the challenge! Indeed he's one in a billion.
Got a response from Dan:
I'd be happy to take a look at your bootloader, but I can't make any
promises, since it's entirely possible Asus has implemented the unlock
process in a cryptographically strong way that is impossible to bypass.
Would you be able to pull the boot partition from your device and send
it to me? Let me know if you need instructions on how to do this.
...I tried to use ROMdump to pull the boot partition but was unable to because of permissions. Is there anyone out there with slightly more experience to help me out here?
Already the fact that he's willing to have a look is a big step forward!
:fingers-crossed:
i recently had to flash to the kitkat update loosing my root.
is there a way to root kitkat?
No, and this is not the place to post that.
How is it possible you have been a member for two years yet you are stupid enough to post that here? Read the damn rules mate this is ridiculous.
Also to answer you question, with the veil of ignorance you seem to live under I doubt there is root on KitKat for you.

lol quick post wasnt paying attention all i saw was g2 att and thats what i have so i posted this question.
holy calm down bro... People make mistakes. I spilled coffee on myself this morning are you going to freak out on me too?
Meh, I took my aggravation on my unreliable internet connection out on you. If you are updated to KK already there is no way to root, you need to downgrade via LGFlash and then root before taking the KK OTA to keep root.
ioroot is working for KK now

Thanks for the link. I will read up on it. That's too bad that we can't install custom recovery yet. I wanted an aosp Rom ?
Would you suggest downgrading? Or would that mess up something? Not recommended?

the way things are right now there may never be a recovery for stock kit kat so if you want aosp then yes I recommend downgrading to 10d here is a link on how(http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2432476)
I myself wanted stock kk with custom recovery so I followed this guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2672931 just in case you want kk with root/recovery which is currently the only way

Wow thank you.
Do I need one of those "vanilla" developer phones if I'm to install a custom ROM on my Note 3? As far as I know, nope. You can root any Android phone.
I'm fairly sure that I can ClockWorkMod + install custom ROM on a phone I purchase in a shop. But I just want to make sure .
Thank you in advance .
You are joking, right ?
If not, yes.

Although my question seemed that of a noob, I can assure you I am not. My first rooted phone was HTC Tytn2 which I rooted using Duty's ROM's which I found here back in 2008. So no worries . Now I have a rooted SG2. I know all the procedures, safety steps and so on.
The reason I asked such a dumb question was that I had a 1% uncertainty regarding this, which I was unwilling to risk on.
As far as I know, the so-called dev-phones are simply loaded with a vanilla version of Android, no Samsung bloatware.
Anyway, thank you guys for calming my fears .

There´s only one Google Edition phone in Samsung, the S4. Still, you can get a "normal" S4 and still flash it like crazy.

Hey Guys, so I purchased my Maxx on release day and I'm currently on 4.4.4. I was just wondering if there was a root method available for me as I would like to have native tethering again.
Thanks for the help!

Fair enough. However, if your BL is unlocked and you are rooted, I doubt you are that much of a junior.
That being said, its pretty hard to have an answer about a update that hasn't even been released yet.
Basically, once it hits, some will take it for the team, either on purpose or on accident, and information will be flowing...until then its only speculation.
I'm sorry if I came across like a DB.

Unlocked BL means you always have root
