[Q] 15.3.A.0.26 root. [JB 4.2]

My girlfriend is on the latest 4.2 update and I have been trying to root her phone with no success.. theres one method but it seems malicious.
So has anyone successfully rooted 15.3.A.0.26?

The same with me. Still looking for a safer way to root. Serajr has released his rom for locked bootloader.

The best way for now is by using supersu and its binary within extended stock kernel by using this method..root 4.2.2

But flashing kernels it's only for unlocked bootloaders...anyway, the VRoot mode for flashing (maybe, the "malicious" way) it's secure to do, i rooted my XL with that and works perfect

like this ...method iam sucses root with v root

Enjoy!!
I also tried many times with these methods but no sucess
But Atlast There is an application called "V ROOT" it will root ur device without any problem
But it will install another superuser app to install supersu
1. Go to play store
2.download and install Super SU
3.Change it into system app
4. Restart your device
5. Enjoy ur trouble free rooting experience
Download V root from google, just type in mgyun vroot and open the first website and click the blue button with the download sign

Dude STOP
No don't use vroot, it's malicious.

If, for some reason, you want to use the exploit Vroot is using, but don't want it to connect to their servers, use this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2546964
Otherwise just use this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=48067489&postcount=195
They might be using the same exploit, don't know about that.

There's other safe method available for rooting 4.2.2, check out our Xperia L board..

This is all old news , everybody with an i9100 on XDA and wants to root their phone already knows the thread of Framaroot
Find some new ways!

Very old thread it is. This farmaroot apk is not working, however. Can anyone share other file sources???
however, after searching for the solution I got this article with directing the farmaroot apk link. Is it the same apk talked about here ago?
I just wanted to be sure if it's safe to download or not.
here, another app has been mentioned that is the Kingroot which I have known much before. May be guessing I can find it on Google Play Store. that seems to be with more pop ups which freak me out sometimes as well.

to increase storage space you dont need root.. you just need to tweak your rom a bit and then flash it through sp flasher..
edit: if you want to increase system partition... you can flash a file using cwm(needs root) but for inc. app storage. no need for root...

Better to use drama root & supersu

Just picked up a Neo 4.5 as a gift for someone today. Rooted & installed SuperSU binary & App w/ Framaroot v1.9.4. Maybe the version you tried didn't have the correct strings for the MT6572 yet. I believe it worked with Boramir.

i need root too

I´'ve rooted several BLUs with Kingo Root (just Google search for it and install it on your laptop). The challenge if you are a noobie is that sometimes you miss a step OR people assume that you know the basics, so they forget to tell you about some important steps that you must take before you root.
Instructions:
1. Install Kingo Root.
2. On your BLU, open Settings (make sure you have allowed applications to be installed from Unknown Sources...you'll find this option under Security in the Settings)..
3. In Settings, go to About Phone and rapidly click on the "Build Number" as many times as it takes to say, "You are now a developer". This will open a new option in the Settings called Developer Options.
4. In Settings, now go to Developer Options and make sure it is ON and also turn on the USB Debugging. VERY IMPORTANT!
5. Now connect your BLU to your computer via a USB cable and wait till all the drivers are installed and the device is READY TO USE.
6. Disconnect your phone from the computer.
7. Run the Kingo Root software.
8. Connect your phone to the computer (Kingo will eventually connect to the phone and then will show you a big ROOT button.
9. Click the big ROOT button and sit back till it does its thing.
10. Wait till Kingo gives you the "ROOTED!" message and then you are done (so go ahead and unplug your phone from USB and close Kingo Root software).
11. Reboot your phone and confirm root (download Busy Box Checker from Play Store). You might also want to download Busy Box X and install the busybox binaries..
OPTIONAL SUPERUSER:
You don't have to do this next part if you're happy with Kingo User.
Note that these days, Kingo Root will install a superuser (su) binary that is controlled by their own app called Kingo User instead of the SuperSU app. If you want SuperSU by Chainfire, you have to search XDA for BETA SuperSU 2.49. You'll find a zip file with a beta version of SuperSU and a script that will eliminate Kingo User and replace it with SuperSU.
Install BUSY BOX X on your phone (download from Play Store).
Place the SuperSU v2.49 zip on your SD card in the phone (IT MUST BE THE VERSION 2.49 NOT THE OFFICIL 2.46 OR THIS IS NOT GOING TO WORK). Then boot into recovery (to do that you turn your phone off and then after it is off, you restart it with the power button while you are holding down the volume UP button). Then you use the menu you find there to "Install a zip from SD card". Select the zip you just put on the SD card, and it will flash the SuperSU program and binaries to your phone, while deleting the Kingo User app and it's binaries. Now select Reboot System at the top of the menu and you're all done.

Any chance you could PM me or mirror the 1.9.4 apk? I can't find it from a reliable resource online, and 1.9.3 did not root my new Neo 4.5. Tried several other rooting tools, none of which worked, so I'd love to be able to get my hands on the apk you used to do the root.
Thanks!

... Watched a lot of YouTube videos. I saw one in Spanish and the neo 4.5 is rooted, but I don't understand, and I'm sure its just a show n not a tutorial on how to root... Any help?

You still have not rooted your Neo 4.5? Can you give us a little more information? Respond to the following questions:
1. Have you turned on Developer Options on the phone?
2. Have you turned on USB Debugging in the Developer Options?
3. Have you installed the USB drivers for your phone?
4. Download and run MTK Droid Tools (as administrator). Just Google it and you will find lots of sources for the software (including here on XDA). Then connect your phone via USB cable. What message is shown on the bottom left corner of the MTK Droid window? Take a screenshot of your computer screen if possible and post it here.
Once you've answered these questions, we'll be able to help you.

Hi, for everyone trying to root blu neo 4.5, I have recently got my phone rooted and had tried all the other root apps out there, but the one that did the job is 360 Root, you can download it from google play store or just google it online and download. you should watch the video on youtube also, it's not in English but will still help you to understand the step by step process.

Click to expand...

yes, download SuperSU, and copy it to /system/apps with a root browser, fix permission, remove chinese app, reboot
if you install SuperSu from play store it will be something like /data/apps/eu.chainfire.supersu.apk
you can try using it there, but you need to move it to /system before you remove chinese app
there are several root browser/explorer/file manager that will work but it needs to be one with root access options
the chinese app should be in /system/apps not sure of name.
Fixing permissions: Looks like
Read Write Execute
Owner:................X .......... X............ _
Group:.................X .......... _ ......... _
Others:................X .......... _ ......... _
RW-R--R-- 0644
This should correct setting, but compare to other system apks.

You have to reroot.
Try one of these
RootMaster Links
Rootmaster apk or Here
and
Rootmaster.exe run from PC
Most android devices are rootable by one or both these options.
