Hi!
I am new to xda. I hope that someone will find time and answer me. I have rooted my nexus s (4.1.2) using this metode from the site of nexusshacks. At first everything seemed to go OK. But no I have superuser installed on my phone and when i update it it says that my phone is not rooted. But i still managed to install custom rom (strawberry) and it works. But every thing that needs root premision i cant use. Not titanium backup nothing. Can somebody help me. At tutorial it's said that i need to do flashing twice and it will be ok but it is not. And now i am afraid to anything. I would like to unroot phone instal stock android (not any rom) and than do it again.
Pleas help me!

You don't need to re-install stock. You probably don't have the binary installed properly and that's why it's giving you trouble.
Simply flash either SuperSU and SuperUser and that should be fine.
You can get either one from here:

I wouldn't know, it would be better for you to ask in the Strawberry thread.
A lot of problems can be fixed simply by reflashing either the rom or the kernel. You could try reflashing Strawberry without wiping anything and also after that fixing permissions. Good luck.
Hi
Ok I know this is an old phone but I hope someone can help .
I've been hunting the forums for an easy way to root my Samsung GT-I5800 running Froyo 2.2.
There's lots of advice on the forums but they are old threads and the links they give to the suggested appllications such as :
Superonclick . z4root , etc don't work or the files are currupt.
I have used Superoneclick on a later samsung phone and it mad the job really easy but the version I have won't work with this phone / android version.
Maybe is some one has a the z4root files they could upload them , or any other suggestions would be appreciated.
Thanks

Hi
Thanks for your response .
I've tried two versions of Superoneclick v1.7.00 and 2.3.3.0 and neither work for me.
I've just tried another tool x8toolbox , this gives an error ".... root not applicable to custom rom ..."
If you have a link to another version of Superoneclick I'll try that ?
Thanks .

Hi
Thanks . I had seen this YouTube video, the links to superoneclick no longer work.
In fact the two links direct form the shortfuse website no longer link to the file.
Well im not sure then. Im pretty sure z4root messes up something, and it may be you need to flash a custom rom in odin. Sorry but I cant try anything myself because I dont have the phone anymore (at least for a while).

Rather than rooting it is best to install a prerooted custom ROM via odin.

Hi
I looked for Odin on the market and it seem that Odin required root , so wouldn't I need root to use it ?
If not can you suggest a suitable custom rom ?
Thanks

Odin does not require root. You have to get into download mode with a combination of keys. (May be Mobile Odin requires root, I never used it).
Check this thread for Custom roms. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1234591. I would suggest PuruKisadHybrid custom ROM.
Refer to this thread for how to use odin. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1372414
You need to install samsung drivers first.
Hi
Thanks for the information and links.
I was hoping to be able to root without wiping data but I will consider this method.
The odin tutorial was a bit hard to understand but I'll try watching carefully and it may become clear.

you can root without wiping data. Just search for rooting procedure in the forum. But custom ROM gives lot more features for you than stock one.
PS: Please hit thanks if anybody helps you.
Use this and try again

Hi i had this version of superoneclick 1.7.00 but it worked fine. Make sure u have turned on usb debugging and installed the drivers.Also in case of exploit use rageagainstthecage exploit and not psneuter.
And for drivers consider installing these http://drivers.softpedia.com/get/MOBILES/Samsung/Samsung-Galaxy-S-USB-Driver-for-Windows-x86.shtml
I haven't been able to find a non- data wipe method as varioius versions of superoneclick and other tools aren't working for me on this phone.
Perhaps I'll go down the custom rom route ,
If I can find some good clear instructions .
Thanks for your help.
Thanks for the link.
Unfortunately this one isn't working ether
Generating an excetion which ever exploit option is selected.
I wonder if it is an issue with the phone rather than the tool .
It has allready been hard reset to factory state ?

Has the driver been installed? Which OS you are using?
You need to install proper driver before trying to root. For your info, essentially all rooting methods are non-data wipe.
for instructions check this link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=12451340

WHAT? This device has no separate recovery partition, neither CF-ROOT Kernel. This is not Galaxy S or S3
z4Root should work on 2.1, for 2.2 the easiest way is to use custom kernel, with it you get custom recovery and via that recovery you can flash some zip with su binary and then get Superuser/SuperSU app. SuperOneClick is buggy with G3.
I've used a ch root so....

you could try factory resetting it in the recovery, otherwise the website of the phone might have a stock ROM that you can rename update.zip and use it in recovery

After spending 2 days to figure out how I can get root on my newly purchased Galaxy Tab 4 7.0,
I finally got it to work through vRoot.
Here's a detailed instruction from ShinySide.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/tab-4/general/root-galaxy-tab-4-7-t230-t2835264
Now, where I had the problem wasn't what I did. Rather, it was the auto update that Samsung rolled out in August.
I tried doing through vRoot like, 50 times, and got the same result over and over.
Then I read ShinySide's post saying the August update interferes with vRoot so I had to flash my tablet with older firmware.
Lucky for me, ShinySide also has this available on this forum:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2778374
I did it with NE2, and BOOM. VRoot rooted my phone like a charm.
So, those of you who are having trouble with vRoot (probably seeing X mark instead of a check mark at the end)
check your firmware under About Phone.
If it says August, then you have to flash the device back to the older firmware.
That little detail made me go crazy for the past 2 days, so I thought I'd share that.
So, just remember two things:
1) Check your firmware!
2) DISCONNECT Internet as soon as you install vRoot and run it while you are NOT connected to avoid auto update.
And make sure to THANK ShinySide 'cause he made this possible!
Thank you for posting. I've been looking for root options for my T230NU and was skeptical about VRoot. I don't trust random apps that aren't even in English, you know?
Your post looks good so I may attempt to root as well. Please update if it turns out that VRoot is a bs virus.

I just tried the vroot method and should've known it was trouble when I had to uninstall my antimalware software to download and install it. Damn thing installed five other programs, including trojans, and changed my browsers to go through a proxy. Best of all, it did NOT work. Beware!
Just went old-school and used Odin. See how here:

HELP!
I think I may have bricked my SM-T230NU
I googled how to root SM-T30NU and didn't realize google was showing me instructions for SM-T530NU when I actually was trying to root SM-T230NU
I followed this guide
(can't share links but if you google root SM-T30NU you should find it)
I get message I am in Odin Mode and my current Binary is custom system status official
It says "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies and try again"
I tried both versions of Kies I found and it doesn't show up in recovery mode.
I am a total noob, please help if possible.
Have you gotten it fixed yet? If not go to the opening post and find the link to the NE2 firmware. Follow instructions there to flash to NE2. You should be fine.

Hello guys, I'm new to this forum but not to Android. I'm familiar with Samsung devices coming from a S3 mini. So I was wanting to root my Galaxy tab 2 7" (GT-P3110) but don't have access to a computer currently. So I got to digging and found a Chinese app called "Root Master" which worked for the device. I was on stock and it was successful. After doing so I flashed CM12.1 and gapps to then find I lost my custom recovery and root. I tried rooting it again with the application but with no success. Any suggestions/help would be much appreciated.

So is everything working for you now? You can get recovery again by flashing the latest TWRP from @Android-Andi's recovery thread through Odin or Heimdall.
