Hello XDA,
I recently got a OnePlus One and today i started using it. Generally i root my phone 6 months after i get it but i wanted to transfer all my data from my old to the new phone. I am using titanium back on my old phone(gs3). Thus i wanted to root my new phone(1+1) however i am having driver problems. I installed the adb drivers but it's still not working. I am using the toolbox from the official xda dev rooting video. i tried everything from reinstalling the drivers to going into fastboot mode. It hasnt worked at all. Please help. And yes i did turn on dev settings on my phone.
Thanks.
First piece of advice: ditch the toolkit, you really don't need it. Where did you get the drivers?

For me, drivers installed best when in fastboot. Couldn't get them to install when connecting as mtp.

Okay, so I got the GS3, rooted it, and everything was going great. Granted, I'm a noob when it comes to android and all their fun little gadgets, I kept the stock ROM on my phone... than T-Mobile sent out the update for the phones, I didn't unroot my phone before the update. I updated my phone and it is now NOT rooted. I have tried to root my phone again, but have been unsuccessful. My phone now says its modified, and I can't check for updates... the app called Triangle Away no longer works, and I can't get my phone to say normal status. My phone is still NOT rooted, however, it says modified. How can I root my phone now that the update has come out and has been installed on my phone that originally was rooted? I don't have a backup of my stock ROM when it was rooted because the update deleted my backup that I originally had. I have a 2003 DELL Latitude C610 with Windows XP Professional installed on it, and was wondering if my laptop was compatible with rooting my phone? The first time I rooted my phone, I had to use a friend of mines laptop because I could not root it on my laptop.Thank you for reading, PLEASE HELP!
My advice would be to flash the stock ROM that you updated to, with an insecure kernel that allows root. You will also need a custom recovery like TWRP or CWM (find them in the first forum link below).
You should check out the T-Mobile Galaxy S III Android Development forum for a bunch of ROM options. Here is a thread within the forum mentioned above that details all of the information you will need, along with the ROM download links and plenty of instruction.
If you are looking to stay stock, I would suggest flashing the pre-rooted T999_UVDLJA ROM, located in that forum. Since you lost root you should just use the Odin method to get your new ROM loaded. Once you are up and running, I would suggest getting a custom recovery on there ASAP for backups/restorations etc.

Okay, I will try your suggested methods and get back to you when I can.. thank you for your help
Okay, so I tried to flash the stock rooted ROM onto my phone, but the Odin program keeps getting stuck at "Get pit for mapping".. now I tried it on my friends laptop when I first wanted to root my phone and it worked, however, my friend isn't exactly willing to help me at the moment. Any suggestions? I have used multiple different cables and the cable I used on my friends laptop is the same one I'm trying to use on my laptop.. could it be my laptop that's causing the problem?
Hmm sounds like it might be related to your laptop since it worked before with your friend's box... Try setting Odin to Windows XP Compatibility mode with admin access. Unplug all usb ports except for your mouse/keyboard and try again. Hopefully that will let you get Odin past the "Get pit for mapping" issue.
Looks like this "Get pit for mapping" issue has been run across before, try reading up on it here if the above method still won't work.
Yeah, I couldn't manage to get it to work with my laptop.. I got it rooted with a different one though and made a nandroid as to prevent any problems on the future... Thanks for the help you had given

Im having an old Yarvik TAB220 tablet bought 2 years ago. It was forgotten for long and now that i opened it its still on android 2.3.4.
I dont know if it can be updated further but i believe it can as Yarvik has provided upgrade tools.
Here are the problems that wont let me update it:
Cant install drivers when connecting to pc. I've downloaded and tried to install them manually, still windows 7 wont recognize them.
Without being able to be detected by computer, i cant use the YarvikUpgradeTool.
I tried to root it, it said it was already rooted?
All i want is to update it to at least android 4 and root it so i can have google market and all the other apps.
Is there a way to have android updated without using the computer? It has not update option on system information. I know the thread is missing some info about the tablet so please ask me whatever extra is needed.

As i see it there is no real rom support. I did have experience with yarvik tablets. mine came loaded with 4.1.2 but it broke.
i recommend you to invest in a new tablet. I havent tried this yet but. try installing the drivers manualy. as i cant load it up and update it and install the drivers. Try installing it with other computers(like a friend or youre parents).
soz i am from Netherlands as my english isnt great

Hello everyone. I recently got an OPO from my friend. I am trying to clean it up and root it and install TWRP and all that stuff. I am trying to use the toolkit but to do that I believe I am required to remove the default driver and install ADB drivers. Unfortunately, when I try to uninstall the "A0001" from the device manager, it will let me uninstall but not detele (there is no tick option). Can someone please suggest how I can solve this problem? Thanks.

first off dont use a toolkit and learn how to do it the right way. Secondly have you simply tried to install proper drivers and boot into fastboot mode to check if they worked. I understand you have old drivers but that does not mean they do not work. I use a program called adb minimal which installs the right drivers all the time.
rooting is very simple with some very simple guides, please look into doing it manually since fastboot drivers load so much easier in my opinion. If you need a hand just ask me.

Tbh I am a newbie. I was using Nexus 4 and Nexus 10 with Wugfresh Toolkit and it was super simple. Hence my preference for using toolkits. I downloaded adb minimal but since I am new to this I don't know what to do from there. Can you please point me to somewhere I can specifically root/install twrp and all that for OPO using adb? Thanks.

Honestly to remove the noob tag things like reading up on manual root methods are a good thing. Now that being said generally in any thread in xda the general section will always have the best root method. Also it normally would be stickied and at the top.
here is a nice root method I used my friend http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2788632
very simple and straight forward - the only difference would be the folder used. Since minimal places everything in your program files folder please make sure you transfer all files needed to that folder.
Again let me know if you need any further assistance.
So I got the phone some days ago and rooted it with no problem using Kingo Root. However, I installed an app that messed my device. The phone does not boot up now In order to solve this problem, I think that all I have to do is put the device into adb sideload mode (which I know how to do) and install the stock rom. HOWEVER, I can't find the rom anywhere, so here is where my question comes in. Do you know where I can get the stock rom or is there another way of solving this problem?

Hi guys,
im new to XDA but i've been messing with rooting and stuff on a few android phones for a while and recently i got my hands on the new Moto G5 Plus. And ofcourse this thing needs root if it wants to call itself 'my phone' But the problem is here: I dont really have a computer... I saw some tutorials on how to do it but step 1. You have to unlock the bootloader. Im pretty sure this can only be done the official way by using motorola's software so... yeah. Now at school i have a pc but i can't use anything that needs administration rights. It's just ment to use the Internet and such. So i can only use pc programs that don't need an installation or anything. And a step back, you can't even do anything on it with a pc unless you have the drivers. And surprise surprise, you have to install these. On my previous phone, a samsung galaxy S3 neo. I rooted it, installed twrp and cyanogenmod with lollipop 5.0. And without a computer. I rooted it with KingRoot, a oneclickroot program for the people that want to root just for the root acces and dont really care about how it's done and stuff like that. Then with rom manager installed twrp. And with twrp i flashed CM. So i tried OneClickRoot software on my G5 Plus. And it failed. Kingroot, kingoroot, framaroot, baiduroot, towelroot, oneclickroot etc. And all failed, which is probably because it's locked.. Well OFCOURSE that's the reason what am i thinking!? But back to the phone. If anyone has an idea on how to do this if its even possible... Please let me know! I tried everything.. (i think?) I would prefer a way where it only roots so keeps the stock recovery. This way i can still install system updates right? I have no idea..
Thanks alot. PS. Sorry for probably many grammar mistakes.
From the little research that I did, it seems like you HAVE to use a computer to do it. My advice is, since you are still at school, get some friends... that have computers and use it. Another thing that I thought was somewhat bootleg, get another android device and install the fastboot command on it and use a usb otg cable to connect to it. I have adb working as a command, so I guess fastboot could work as well lol.
Good luck!
