[Root] WeakSauce APK - 1.0.1

WeakSauce and Firewater have been patched on the latest HTC builds, the current solution is SunShine http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2792487
WeakSauce is an exploit for some HTC devices. It will not work on all HTC devices, if it crashes or doesn't make su available, then it isn't compatible at this time, and I have no interest in adding compatibilitiy. At the time of release, I confirmed that it was compatible with the HTC One m7 & m7 on Verizon. Those are the only two officially supported devices. Yes it will work on other phones, and is worth a try. It will also crash on many, and some it will appear to work and won't. I am not fixing this at this time.
Since this app is just so easy to use, and I am tired of off topic posts, I am closing the thread. If you can not figure out how to use it, ask elsewhere.
This app may not be redistributed, integerated in a toolkil or script, or sold in any way.
It gains root, mounts a new xbin containing busybox, and su. While it is designed for the Verizon HTC One m7 and m8, it will work on other HTC devices as well. It is a crapshoot depending on both model, and sometimes on firmware version. This exploit will re-root your device each boot. You only have write access to /system/xbin with this exploit.

Dr_Drache - lots of testing
Installation:
Install the WeakSauce app, run it hit agree.
Then install SuperSu from the market https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=eu.chainfire.supersu
On boot (well about 30 seconds after full boot), WeakSauce will re-root your device.
Unroot:
Uninstall app, uninstall SuperSu do a hard reboot (adb reboot)
Update:
Uninstall app, Uninstall SuperSu, do a hard reboot (adb reboot), reinstall app, re-root, reinstall SuperSu app.
Trouble shooting:
Uninstall WeakSauce
Uninstall SuperSu app
do a hard reboot (adb reboot)
reinstall WeakSauce
re run WeakSauce
reinstall SuperSu app
then ask for help on XDA (This means don't email me for help on this topic).
ChangeLog
1.0.1
Fixed supersu updating
Updated supersu su binary
Fixed replacing xbin at boot
Added more compatibility for older models
S-Off:
Gain root with weaksauce
use firewater (http://firewater-soff.com/)
uninstall weaksauce
flash custom recovery
flash supersu or superuser

Worked great!
Will be sending a donation your way soon!

Worked like a charm! I will send a donation to the email above after I post this

You have the international model but are using Verizon forums for root? Oo Don't the other methods work for you?
Installed, and rooted.

so this is only temp root and unroots on a reboot?

The phone is write protected. So all changes on reboot are reverted. We need S-OFF for full root.

No it has to initialize the root every boot, it takes 1 min after boot up for the root to start up

I only posted it in the verizon forum for a reason, I dont generally post roots for unlockable phones.

Anyone have any luck installing/using Xposed? Can't get it to work for some reason.

Can anyone verify this root method allows you to get around the entitlement check to use hospot on an unlimited plan?

I used it for my Motorola RaZr. Worked fine. If you feel bad about your AV scanner you can use virtual box or a virtual desktop.
The "virus" are the root exploits.
Check this --> http://onlinelinkscan.com/?p=271456
VRoot is also suggested here on XDA.
Just keep in mind to replace the chinese super user by "SuperSU" to have it in your language
I suppose there is no other root available atm

i am still waiting for a root
any one help ??

Have you tried latest VRoot? Or do you still think its a virus?!

Alright, its your phone. I use licensed Avast internet security (VROOT file is actually stored on my PC) and I also posted a link to "online check" of the developers page. I used it before for motorola phones and "who wonders" nothing bad happened to the phone, my laptop or me As you got a really non common phone model, its the only root method I found so far confirmed as working.
May I ask which Antivirus Solution you're using?

Probably not, as long as you're rooted and deleted preinstalled apps. When a new firmware is released you can flash it, but OTA updates don't work i suppose.
Installed SuperSU?

So is it the same app that no longer works on 75% of all phones, anything below ICS and you have to further unlock other devices to for this work?
Don't rootkits for most off those phones provide root as well????

Have you try another root application?

You should provide info stating it won't work on anything past GB/ICS (for some phones)
SuperSU is not a root method, its simply the app used to control which app get SU permission.

I have try this app before!
Sorry,forgot to say!
I also have try z4root in my another device but never work too!
When i click root,it will force close itself and your device will become very lag!
If you have this problem too,try to go to setting,application manager then force stop the z4root quikly

OK so I take it you're not the Dev of this app.
Well here is a little info.
1.st Z4Root was abandoned because it DOESNT WORK on anything with Gingerbread or newer.
2.nd Z4Root was used as a temp root method to flash recovery to then flash SU, it is NOT a permanent root method.
3rd. This app will cause BRICKS due to its incompatibilities with any phone running newer software (GB+)
4th. You're not the dev of this app why post it?
5th. You should put a big disclaimer about the proper use of this app and provide the correct info on which phones it will work and it will not work.
6th also state there will be no support for this app since you're not the developer and it's been abandoned by the actual developer.

No,im not the DEV for this app

ZTE Grand X Max (z787)

Attention!!! this thread is for the ZTE Grand X Max (z787) NOT the ZTE Grand X Max+ (z987) Do not attempt to flash anything meant for the Max+.
Hi everyone,
I recently purchased the ZTE Grand X Max and of course the first thing I did was look for a root method. No luck. So, I wanted to start a support thread for this device and hopefully get root, cwm/twrp and all the goodies that come with root.
Please feel free to reply and maybe together we can make this phone great. I will monitor and update this thread with the latest news involving this device.

Everyone that's honestly willing to donate to this man ask him for help on this device he worked the galaxy avant when no one else would he's awesome! But he's busy and I'm not affiliated with him in any way other then knowing his work on the avant! So not like he's asking me to say this I just got this device I've messaged him about it and I know I'll donate if he can get it going! Ppl come on here and think these roots and rims magically appear they don't these guys take there own time to work these things and it's nice of them yes there not doing it with the promise of a pay check there doing it because they like the challenge I believe and to help ppl out the least we can do is give a donation to thank them for the time I'm not a developer I'm anyway don't know any except from here and other sites but I'm just saying we want someone to take time away from what ever else there fling to help with our phone let's make it worth it!
Get ahold of SHABBYPENGUIN he is good!
Scratch that can't be done ZTE patched the way it used to be rooted can't do it any more and good chance this phone will never see root that sucks but I opposed to donate to hey him to work on it and he says can'tbe done!

So is there just no one working on this phone or what?... I'd really like root, and anyone that can get it sorted out will get $10 from me

Will pay $$$ for a Grand X Max + Root!
I wish I knew how to figure out the root process for this phone, but unfortunately, I do not. However, I will also pay $10 to anyone able to figure out how to root this device. So far, that's $20 ($10 from previous poster [Muhff], $10 from me) that is offered to find a way for us ZTE users to root our phones! I'll sweeten the deal and pay $30 myself if I see a post in this thread that contains the solution before August 2015. If you know anyone on the site who may be able to figure it out, please spread the word about this. Thanks!

i believe you can do a full backup with adb/fastboot by opening cmd and saying
fastboot boot twrp.img
for example. then, you can open the backup file and find the recovery img in there as long as you still have the stock recovery.
I found it here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2310682
It would be very very helpful to me (and anyone with this phone) if someone with the stock recovery and fastboot + adb on their computer could upload the stock recovery image to the internet.
Im not very expert in it myself, im sure if someone with real knowledge swoops by they could do this in a second.. provided they have the phone.

Thanks for the video! It worked. I'm a happy man.

@smilesintears77
You will need to install the TWRP.apk then boot into it. Via the power and vol. up buttons at the same time or use the TWRP.apk to boot into the recovery panel. Once booted into the TWRP recovery panel you will be able to install the su file.
I am working on a stock recovery image.

I just followed your video and it worked out. no problems.

There are many Android experts that could unlock the bootloader Right ? Is it how it works ??? If yes that means they could unlock it ..
Sent from my VS987 using Tapatalk

My understanding, not as a programmer by any means...is that the phone needs to have an unlocked bootloader prior to even having the ability to gain root. If the service provider (Verizon) doesn't unlock this, root cannot happen in a traditional sense. Carriers such as T-Mobile have a root for this phone as they come with unlocked bootloaders. You wont see root on the Verizon variant.

the bootloaders arent locked they are signed with a very special key that would take ever computer together in the worl roughly 200000 years plus to brute force into. verizon and att are the worst
now you all know. as said before if u wanted to root you should have studied before buying a "locked" device
if u want root either get a rootable device or figure it out on your own
as with the g4 there will more than likely never be root for these "locked" devices
not being an ass just the cold hard truth

they cant unlock the bootloader or it would have been done
lgs verity key prevents this through qfused motherboards highly encrypted partitions that the bootloader verifys and if one thing is off bam lg secure boot error.
which again is basicly hardcoded into the device.
no one is going to waste their time trying a 99.9% impossible feat

The phone is just not popular enough the Verizon Galaxy S7 I believe is unlocked for the bootloader. If the phone is popular enough a developer will work on it.

Hey man just update your firmware to vs98728B and the mobile hotspot will work like a charm i just update mine.
First remove your sim card then check update using wifi
Download all the updates until you see the 28b version
Hope this help you man
Ive updated mine to 2BA and mobile hotspot still works like a charm
Note: i think 28B update size is 600+mb

This is old 99% of these G5s are now on 7.0 or higher and cannot roll back

Anyone try this yet?
I found a link dated march 28th 2018. It was called Install TWRP Recovery and Root LG G5 on Android Nougat on **********.c** I cant post links. I'm new to the forum. I wanna try it but im scared because im a noob and dont really know what im doing.
Please let me know if you have tried or know someone who has. Thanks

Hi,
Has anyone ever tried one click root dot com ? They explicitly mention that they can root the vs987 variant. I'm willing to pay if someone can confirm me that it really works...
Thanks

You need to be on marshmallow or have anti-rollback to be 0 which <1% of ppl have. Also, it's not a complete root, so although you have root permissions, it's unstable and you have no root manager (SuperSU/Magisk/etc.)
