[Q] [newb alert] HELP regarding GT-P5110 (root issue)

Hi.
I'm trying to root my Galaxy Tab 2 10.1 (wi-fi)
I seem to have been able to root it however it seems busybox neither superuser is not detected by root checker app. As far as I'm aware busybox is needed to continue to install cwm right?
I have super user installed though...
Please understand this was gifted to me by a relative who lives in Australia i.e. origin of the product is Australian.
I can't seem to understand how to flash cwm onto this.
I followed a bunch of sites.
Links:
http://droidfirmwares.com/how-to-root-galaxy-tab-2-10-1-p5110-easy-tutorial.html/2 (mainly this but it seems I sort of followed mix advice of both)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2203309
I used the PDA option in Odin however after that I can't make head or tail of how to proceed to install clockworkmod recovery.
It seems incredible that just 2 weeks back I had been able to mod my Sensation XE and Xperia Z but am utterly confused as to how to proceed in this case. Please help.

Continuation
Apparently every time I run Odin and install it always installs and in root checker app it shows rooted however superuser and busybox are not shown although superuser asks permission for using root checker which I grant??
Whats happening? :X
I hope I have made my position a little clear.
1. It shows rooted in root checker
2. I have supersu installed (althought root checker denies it)
3. How do I proceed to install CWM (I tried installing couple of times from playstore it downloads the update after I select my model no: and after that it gets stuck on flashing)
4. Please explain step by step

ZTE V768 (Concord) and V768G (Midnight) Development

Currently, we only have root access on these devices. I am currently working on a recovery build, and I have plans for CM7 and CM9 builds in the future. Here's how to consistently and easily get root access on the Tracfone V768G and almost certainly V768 (I have a V768G):
Root
The only functional root exploit I have found is via an obscure Chinese program called VROOT. While there is much speculation in other threads as to the nature of this program (and potential for malware), I have had success with it on multiple occasions where no other tool I tried worked. I have seen no evidence that it installs anything other than its strange app market (as an easily-removable user app!) and a superuser program called KingRoot (as a system app, where it should be). While it appears entirely benign and functional, I personally prefer to use superSU. Therefore, the below instructions will include the removal of KingRoot and installation of SuperSU in its place. It is assumed that you have ZTE's preloaded drivers installed and that you have confirmed adb is working.
Unfortunately, VROOT is a Windows-only application, though it works perfectly in a Windows virtual machine (that's how I use it!).
Download VROOT and the newest SuperSU
Install and run VROOT. It might take more than one try to succeed.
Confirm that KingRoot is installed, and uninstall the 100% Chinese app that is also present. At this point, your device is rooted. You can simply keep KingRoot, but I would advise continuing to install superSU.
Extract "common/Superuser.apk" from the downloaded SuperSU zip and install it on the device via adb or the file manager.
Open SuperSU and grant it root permissions when KingRoot prompts you. Swipe over to the settings pane and select "Switch superuser app".
Follow its instructions. After rebooting the device, simply install SuperSU again, open it, update the su binary when prompted, and select "Install SuperSU inte /system" from the settings pane. You're done!

VROOT installs a app "Superuser.apk" not Kingroot
Hi, thanks for the info.
When I install VROOT via windows, it installs an app called 'Superuser' which I suppose it is to manage root access permissions for other apps. I see no 'KingRoot' app as you mentioned. I only see this 'Superuser' app and a Chinese app.
Either way, this 'Superuser' app appears to not working properly because I am not getting any prompt to either deny or grant root acess to apps like TitaniumBackup or even Root Checker.
I can get root acess via ADB Shell with the su command, but on the phone the 'Superuser' app from VROOT is not prompting me to allow/deny root access.
Any suggestions?? Thanks!!

I was working on getting a custom recovery,but then I ended up getting a Nexus 4 (and then later a nexus 5) and abandoned it. Ill take another look at it. Now that I dont need the phone its less of an issue if I brick it,so I can be a little more agressive.
Try this thread. This is what worked for my V768

How To Root Samsung Galaxy Core Duos 8262 100% working

The last day i've posted that i cant root galaxy core 8262.
After 2 days gooling i ve find a way to root this device.this device was updated last month.
ok now start Rooting
1.Download Vroot from here_ http://www.mgyun.com/vroot
2.Install this on ur pc.... this is Chinese so u will face some problems i guess
3.Start VROOT and root now!
4. Now we need to install SuperSU from play store to replace the Chinese root manager called 授权管理 1.0.4.
5. Go to play store and install SuperSU.
6. Start SuperSU and you will be asked for permission by 授权管理 1.0.4, choose 允许(means allow). (Should be the right side option.)
7. SuperSU will prompt to install SU binary, go ahead with OK and it will display successful.
8. Now, freeze 授权管理 1.0.4 in titanium backup, just in case you need it again.
Note: If you uninstall straight away from app manager, you need to make sure SuperSU updated the binary.
9. Re-run SuperSU to make sure everything is alright. You will be prompt again to install SU binary, just do what it asked.
10. After that, you are rooted with SuperSU and 授权管理 1.0.4 will not be there anymore.
Optional
11. If you want to be more assured, in SuperSU app, prepare for a Reinstall in settings. (NOT Full unroot NOT Switch superuser app)
12. SuperSU will be removed and go back to play store to re-download and install.
13. Start SuperSU and SuperSU will prompt to install SU binary, go ahead with OK and it will display successful.

[Resolved] How to Root BLU Life One 2015

Here is how to root the new BLU Life One, there are probably many ways to do it but this was the best way that I could find.
Note that I tried to root with framaroot, towelroot, and iroot and their apps have failed.
Try this of your own free will, I am not responsible for anything happening to your device (it worked for me so it should work for you).
What you will need:
kingoroot, supersu, busybox, root checker, and titanium backup.
First things first,
Go into settings and check the box next to "Unknown sources".
Next open up the internet tab and search for Kingoroot (kingorootapp dot com)
Click the download button for android (not the windows one)
When it finishes downloading, click in the drop down menu and install the apk.
Open the kingo root app, and click root circle.
After the app is finished rooting your device, you can download Root checker in the play store to ensure that your device is indeed rooted.
Now, I personally don't like kingo root, so the next steps are optional.
In the play store download three apps, SuperSU ( i use chainfire), busybox, and titanium backup (i suggest buying the paid version, it is well worth the money).
Next open up SuperSU (KingoUser should ask to grant SuperSU root access, allow it), and install the SU binary. Do not reboot system.
Next open titanium backup, click the middle tab, then scroll down until you see SuperSU. Long press, and then press install to system apps. (you can do this manually by using ES file explorer and copying the SuperSU.apk file [may need to download it from the internet] in to the/system/app folder.
Now restart your device.
When the device boots back up, check and make sure that your device is still rooted by using root checker again.
If it is still rooted, open SuperSU and make sure you dont have to install the binarys again (you shouldnt have to).
Next uninstall the kingo root app (it will not let you uninstall the kingouser app, for this you must use titanium backup)
Now go into your system, applications and then disable kingouser app.
After doing so, check and see if your device is still rooted (it should be)
If it is still rooted, proceed to use titanium backup to uninstall kingouser app.
Lastly install busy box. If you get an error saying "unable to install choose another location" simply click on where it says "/system/xbin" and change it to "system/bin".
And there you should have a freshly rooted device with no kingoroot. Not saying Kingoroot is bad, i just have always used SuperSU

Hi, thanks for this info, works for me. You should publish this info in the official Blu Life One thread. Thanks again for this.

if someone here has a working blu life one 2015, could you do a rom dump. a bunch of us have soft bricked phones and can't get them working. Blu doesn't have the stock rom available

Hey thanks for this guide! I have one problem I'm hoping you could shed some light on. I've followed your steps and when I try to update the SU binaries it fails every time. The kingroot worked and the kingroot su asked if I wanted SuperSu to have root access and I selected yes. Each time it fails to update it suggest I reboot and try again, but I haven't yet.
Thanks again

MEO StarAddict 6 root or firmware

Hello, if anyone could help me with this, I've tried to find firmware for this phone I've read in another thread it's from ZTE but no luck in their website, I want to root or update the firmware if anyone could help, currently the phone is freaking out not working properly. It's from Altice MEO and the name is StarAddict 6.

hello you can easily root your starradict 6 by the app named "KingRoot".
its safe and easy ,the app have his proper's root permissions manager's(exactly like super su) ,and works fine.You can also unroot your device by the KingRoot app too;(if you want to unroot definitively ,factory reset your device is hughly recommended)
For the firmware ,its more hard ,its need to use the DFU mode.
But for now i cant help you for where found the firmware.
one good solution is to make a dump of your firmware,its look like a backup in recovery,for mmake this im sure you can easily find how to make this on xda or google.
im looking for the firmware too ,if i found how and where to download it ,i post here for the starraddict community users.
friendly

I found the firmware boys

Found the password. I looked up the file name on google and it lead me to firmware247 which had the password there. (It's https://firmware247.com).
How to unbrick:
Get any SDCard on your PC and paste the l730.v1 folder inside the root of the sdcard.
Put it back on the phone.
While pressing both Vol +, Vol - press Power Button.
This will put you into the "recovery mode" (if you can call it that...) which will read the files and install them
If you've reached this far hopefully your phone is working again
ROOT with Magisk:
Download and install Dr. Fone root tool (make sure it's the root tool and not the management/backup tool)
Go into phone developer settings and enable OEM Unlocker and USB debugging
Root the phone with Dr. Fone root tool (it will ask to install supersu, accept it)
When you open supersu, DO NOT UPDATE THE BINARIES, or you will go into bootloop (happened to me at least)
Install magisk manager apk
Open magisk so you get the prompt to allow on it supersu
Restart magisk and super su app (for some reason some options don't appear on magisk if you don't do this)
Download and install (patch) magisk to directly.
Reboot as prompted by the tool.
Open supersu and go into options.
Select delete supersu and remove "root" (you will need to allow supersu root permissions on magisk)
That's it, you now have your phone rooted with magisk.
Unfortunately I wasn't able to find a way to fix safety net, please let me know if you do. (CTS Profile is flagged)
Edit: Organized the post and added small guide.
