Hello Team, I have bought Xolo Q610s in last December with Android 4.4.2, and now it is automatically updated to Android 5.0.
I am interested in rooting my device, I am following Xdadevelopers forum for past 5days and have not found any working solution for me.
I have tried all the listed software (for some of them I need to learn Chinese ) but none is working for me.
My phone can be recognised by almost every software now, but I could not root my device.
It only says "Oops! Root Failed".
If any one can help me with this I will be grateful.
Please do not suggest me to follow any old thread, as I already have done all possible ways discussed in this forum.
Thank You in advance for your reply!
Update : Found something interesting....
"Getting OffSets.. : error: only position independent executables (PIE) are supported. (False)"
After trying more and more I have tried SRS One-Click-Root v4.7
and the output is something like this :

Although the root is not completed, the device rebooted 3 times during the process showing that its doing something, but unfortunately it fails.
The error that I am getting for PIE is really interesting.
"The PIC is a body of machine code that, being placed somewhere in the primary memory, executes properly regardless of its absolute address.
PIE are executable binaries made entirely from position-independent code. PIE binaries are used in some security-focused Linux distributions to allow PaX or Exec Shield to use address space layout randomization to prevent attackers from knowing where existing executable code is during a security attack using exploits that rely on knowing the offset of the executable code in the binary." -- Wikipedia
Now I am not a Android App developer but a software developer indeed and understand what it means.
Now could any one help me on the issue, I believe the quoted text will help a little in understanding what exactly PIE is.

Did you copy that zip file to exernal SD card and insert it in device?
Anyway you can use sideload feature:
1. In recovery choose "install zip" than "install zip from sideload". Your device will switch to sideload mode.
2. Connect usb cable to device.
3. On your pc use the following command:
adb sideload your-zip-file-location
Example: adb sideload c:\root. zip

Rooting GT-S6810P
Hi all.
I rooted my gt-s6810p using MotoChopper. Here`s how it worked after a few attempts.
Make sure you use your main USB ports at the rear of your computer, as using front ports on some systems can cause errors.
Have the latest Samsung Kies or Samsung USB Driver Package installed on your system,
Enable USB Debugging mode in Developer Options on your phone and plug into your computer via USB cable,
Download MotoChopper,
Extract and open the MotoChopper download and locate "run batch",
Right click on "run batch" and select Run as Administrator,
Follow the instructions carefully until process completes,
After your phone reboots your phone should now be rooted and in your app tray you will have a SuperUser icon.
These are the exact steps i took to root my phone and it was the only method that worked after a few attempts trying other methods. When i first tried with MotoChopper it failed because i used my front USB ports on my computer. I plugged my phone into the main ports on the rear of my computer and MotoChopper went through the process without a hitch.
There are not many options for us with this model of phone right now as regards ROMS, Kernels etc, but hopefully some Devs will release some in the near future. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE ALL YOU DEVS OUT THERE. :fingers-crossed::fingers-crossed::fingers-crossed:
Meanwhile i`ve been playing with Corsicanus Rom and other stuff that can be found here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=48781728. The custom CWM Recovery is a must for this wee phone and will replace your stock recovery with something a lot better.
I`m new to Rooting and Roms and Kernels and all things android but i`m learning. Being an IT Tech/Systems Administrator has helped in the learning process.
I hope this helps all who own this model.
Good luck.:good::good::good:
not working for me is there a more recent way of doing this? I know my old My galaxy fame is out dated but it runs out of memory because of pre installed app updates. Very annoying you can't do what you want with it it's my phone [email protected](& you samsung!

Download Framaroot 1.8.1.apk and install in your device.
Run the app and reboot. That's it.
So simple.
If Framaroot doesn't work then you can use:
* Vroot
* Poot
* Z4root
* Kingo
* Baidu Root
* Ginger Break
* Flash su zip
* Use odin
--->Hit Thanks If I Helped You
Latest Framaroot. Framaroot is the best rooting app in my opinion.

Dear XDA,
I have had a Tudou 91 D1 for over a year, and i tried every rooting method. (one click root, srs root, etc) I tried looking for roms but there is little on google about this phone, and nothing on xda. It is a good phone, very happy with it, but no roms. Is there any rom that could be tweaked to work on my phone? I checked about rom porting and creating a new rom via kitchen but all those require a rom for my phone, and a rom i want to change. The problem is i got nothing for my phone.

Thank you very much!
First off, try to see if the manufacturer provides existing firmware on their website. It would be ideal if you can get that. If there is one, then that would be your backup.
Now the next step towards rooting is to either use z4root or try to inject the root into the stock firmware and then flash it yourself. You may also use this guide to enhance it further.
Now supposing you do not find a Stock firmware by the manufacturer, there is a way to backup the current stock firmware on the phone. At least for most of the phones. Here's a nice Guide on how to do so. I am aware its for a different phone. But it will give you ideas and pointers.
FYI on SRS page they say your phone is supported. So Try These steps
1. Use USBDEVIEW to uninstall any usb devices that look like they may be your phone.
2. Download the Universal Drivers from here http://hexamob.com/drivers-smartphone-tablet/tutorial-universal-adb-driver-koush/
3. Once you have your phone installed with the proper drivers and can access ADB via cmd (if you need adb tool search the forms) download the srsroot and run it.
Like i said in the first line Your Phone is Supported by SRS root. Once you have root back up your phone. Back up your WHOLE phone not just system and data. Everything. Once you have a good backup. start playing. If you just want to use some simple mods install xposed. If you want a custom AOSP rom u will prob have to build it your self.
Have fun!
I will try! i think i messed up somewhere with adb, when i tried srs root. does srs root need adb drivers? if so, then that was my problem.

Hello,
After looking at your thread we have decided to close it. XDA assist is here to help users learn their way around XDA. It is not here to fix issues for users. Please have a look at the goals of the forum:
The mission of XDA Assist is to provide basic help to those who have tried searching but can't find what they are looking for and need assistance. This is not a "helpdesk" providing technical assistance but more to point you in the correct direction with your problem.

As there is no dedicated forum available for your device, the best we can offer is to create a thread in: Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking section in the general forum. Other users on XDA may be able to help you there. If you can provide as much detail on your device as possible and the steps you have taken so far it will help.
We do hope you can get your issue resolved.

thanks for the rom, i ve already flashed it onto my soho.
is there a list with all the features of the rom? what did you remove and could you remove the amazon-ads too?
rom seems bugless so far and i ve installed xposed from solarwarez without a problem.
Many thanks for putting this ROM together - it breathes new life into my soho Kindle.
I've just finished installing/booting, ROM is working great. Any tweaking for power/speed would be awesome.
Cheers !
kindle hd 7 3rd generation
will this work with the above kindle. I've already rooted and rom'd my hdx 8.9, so am familiar with the language..its running 4.5.5.2 as well.
I also purchased a fastboot cable.
thanks
How do I root my soho..ive looked through so much today that my mind is spinning... I have a fastboot cable.. ive looked at various threads, but still not sure where to start. I would really appreciate some help, ive read through a document that goes through stages, but i seem to falter at the first hurdle. Anyway, I am not going to give up, just some bullet points as to what to do in what order would be great ...... thank you in anticipation...
wheres the link to the rom?

I too would like to try this ROM. Does anyone have a link to it?
It is listed but not hyperlinked - First Soho Fireos 4 based customized rom
Thanks!
So I wiped the system partition prior to flashing, and now missing basic system elements for boot. Apparently this is a mod and not a ROM. So what's custom? I don't see anything different. What's "unlocked" exactly that wasn't already?
hey guys i have a twrp system backup for you for the latest update but i recommend the new Android 7.1.X based rom for our device
one last update: for amazon fire os will be uploaded this week
this project is discontinued
check the new rom here
How to root a Kindle Fire 7 (2013) soho
Hello everybody! I am new to xda so I hope I'm in the right place. I have tried to start a new thread about this but I coudl not so I am posting this here hoping to find an answer. Rooting a KF (2013) has proved to be quite challenging for me, also because I am dumb . Anyway I have tried to install the 'Permanent Root with Superuser' via Kindle Fire Utility 0.9.8 but I am not able to. I know that I am missing something but I am too dumb to understand what. I need the help of experts. So, I have run Kindle Fire Utility 0.9.8 and I got this:

I have connected my KF Soho to the laptop through the factory cable and I have selected 1, and I got this:

Press any key to continue . . .
If I select fastboot instead, I get this:

In both cases my tablet reboots but checking with 'Root Analyzer' I can see that it is not rooted.
I have also tried rooting with Root_with_Restore_by_Bin4ry_v30 choosing the 1st option but I get this:

At this point, my kindle fire displays a screen where I have to choose between 'Do not restore' and 'Restore my data' and I chose 'Restore my data' but my tablet does not reboot at all and the runme.bat file keeps running forever. I have also tried not to press anything at all on the 'Do not restore/Restore my data' screen and I get this:
HTML:
Successful, going to reboot your device in 10 seconds!

You can close all open command-prompts now!
After reboot all is done! Have fun!

My tablet actually reboots but checking with Root Analyzer I still see the message 'No, your device is not rooted'. What should I do? :'( Ask me all the questions you need and I'll do my best to answer them. Also, please keep in mind that I am not technical therefore explain me things as you would explain them to a quite smart baby Thanks for your help!
Also, I'll write here more details about my device if it is of any help for you guys:
