TL : DR Bought phone today, spent 10+hrs now trying to get this thing rooted, help
Read through the ENTIRE Bounty thread for D6616: http://forum.xda-developers.com/z3/general/bounty-z3-d6616-root-t3035129/page49
Followed all instructions to the best of my understanding, got close once, tried to find out what was wrong, messed it up even worse, have no idea what I'm doing...
Could I get a little help with what I'm missing here?
I have installed on my Windows 7 Ultimate Service Pack 1 PC:
JDK 8 Update 45 (64-bit)
JDK 8 Update 45
JRE 8 Update 45 (64-bit)
JRE 8 Update 45
C++ 2012 Redistributable (x64)
C++ 2012 Redistributable (x86)
Android Studio
SDK Manager
Universal Adb Driver
Minimal ADB and Fastboot
Sony Companion
Avast Antivirus Disabled
On my D6616 phone I have:
Android Version 4.4.4
Version 23.0.D.1.123
Developer Mode access
USB Debugging activated
Allow Mock Locations checked
TestApp2 Selected for Debug App
Verify apps over USB Unchecked
Lookout Disabled
Running exploit.bat still says "waiting for the device to be connected"
Restarting my computer and then running exploit.bat will allow it to get a step farther, saying something about the daemon not being started, then it starts on port something.
After that it doesn't do anything.
Hitting Ctrl+C prompts the user to terminate or not, selecting no returns this:
Pushing files
error: device not found
error: device not found
error: device not found
error: device not found
error: device not found
error: device not found
Preparing exploit...
and then it does nothing.
Earlier today I got it to actually do something. Exploit.bat ran it's code until it said Success, then I ran root.bat until it stopped at the error message given in the video link in the OP.
Please help me figure out what's wrong. I've spent 12+hrs straight now trying to figure this out, installing, uninstalling, re-installing, etc etc, I've skipped work, Martial Arts training, ignored my girlfriend, and haven't eaten anything since I bought the phone after breakfast (its 11pm here now), I haven't even mentioned the nightmare I had to go through with the T-Mobile Store just to actually purchase the phone. I can't think of any other relevant information to provide, but if I've missed something let me know. Please, help! What do I need to do root my phone?
Hi, thank you for using XDA Assist. Our mission here is to point you in the right direction. We are not a technical support center and I see you're asking here, http://forum.xda-developers.com/z3/general/bounty-z3-d6616-root-t3035129 That is the best place as they are the experts on your device.
Please post your question only once per the XDA rules. I'm going to close this thread as you are already asking in the right place above.

Ultimate Goal: Putting Android 2.2 on my phone
I'm not a programmer or have any in-depth developing knowledge . However, I follow directions precisely. I feel like I've tried following several different directions on XDA and I start completely over each time trying a different one(uninstalling SDK and re-installing per particular directions) and they have all came to no avail.
The following link I will use as an example set of directions:
droidoholics.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=20&t=187
BUT, when i get to this section in the directions:
" When the new hardware device notification pops-up on your pc point windows to the driver folder we moved to our C-drive(C:\android-sdk-windows\google-usb_driver) and install the adb driver"
I follow the directions and I've verified the folder and contents are there. I unfortunately ALWAYS get the following message:
"Windows was unable to install your ADB"
"Windows could not find driver software for your device"
I need help getting past this beginning step and feel like I've looked everywhere and followed all directions. Any help out there?? I'm drooling in anticipation of getting 2.2 for my device that the carrier will not be updating. This small step is stumping me severely.
Hi XDA
I am new to the Android scene but not new to hacking and moding in general. I have an Asus Transformer that I've been trying to root for over a day now with out success.
I've been following this guide since I don't want to remove the information from my tablet as I actually want to gain root to back up some applications before I continue further down the CWM and mod's path.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1125714
I have adb setup and can access the device in apx mode, when running the batch script for root, the terminal shows that it's copying data, and I see output successful written twice on the tablet it's self, If i further continue the CWM batch script I get a 3rd successful message appear on the tablet.
I reboot the transformer and enter normal mode, and ensure debugging is actively set, and a little bumblebee icon is in the bottom status bar, I then proceed to run the root_app batch which should open up su for me.
However even though I don't receive any error messages and only successful ones, it just wont root! I've tried replacing the boot.img and recovery.img from another post on rooting, to see if this would give any success alas non was given.
I am now completely lost on what I can do next, I don't understand why this wont work for me, whilst it seems to work correctly for everyone else.
The details of the transformer as current:
Android 3.1
Kernel 2.6.36.3-00001-gf377a2b
Build hmj37.ww-epad-8.4.4.5-201105271
Dock EP101-0209
I am using windows 7 64 with drivers installed and asus sync installed.
Nvidia USB Boot-recovery driver for mobile devices
Date 31/01/2011
Version 1.1.1.0
Please can I get some direction from the XDA community on this issue since I've got over 20 tabs open in my browser looking information up and yet nothing seems to help, as stated I don't want to loose my data just yet since I really want to back up a couple of apps of importance to me, hence I am having to use this rooting method for now.
I would of posted in the above linked thread but XDA wont let me since I am a new member.
Please can someone shed some light on this for me? I am willing to rip out the boot.img from the transformer my self, and mod it given the commands and little help since I can't see what else I can do.
Bump
Can someone please move this to applicable transformer area? This thread is being viewed but not answered, and I think I need a dev to look at it
Is there anyone here who can confirm the drivers I am using for apx are ok? I did pull them from the package which is part of the guide I linked and was following.
More info
Well i've ensured that JDK and SDK are installed that all parts are updated and installed according to the adb guide, and yet still nothing...
.
Here is a sample output on the transformer after running root.bat

Restricting new users is actually pretty S**T i can't post in correct threads, I can't add links to images to show my outputs what a way to welcome new people!!
With regards to running the root_app.bat which gives the superuser permissions, I have debugging enabled, and I see my tablet in windows I can explore the file system and I see it listed as Transformer TF101 under portable devices.
Driver Provider Microsoft
Driver date: 21/06/2006
Driver Version 6.1.7600.16385
Could it be a problem with this driver?
Stop looking and start answering I am getting really F*** off here, I've had no sleep and i am still no further forward, 2days of hell for something that people are reporting as the fastest and easiest root ever!
What driver version do you have listed in windows when you have the tablet connected under debug mode? please at least someone help me with that answer so I can continue this dam search for a fix.
Anyone?
If you could please just confirm if your using the same drivers when having the tablet on in normal mode, and connected with debug option active.
Going to spam this now so I can link into the original guides tread.
Spam to unlock my account 1.
Spam to unlock my account 2.
Spam to unlock my account 3.
Spam to unlock my account 4. Should be unlocked so i can post in dev section.
FIXED!
Ok so i finally got pissed off with this and having a strong suspicion it was a driver level issue only I ripped all the drivers out for normal mode, with and with out debugging.
I re-installed the device and the drivers fresh from ASUS website (again) and low and behold it's working.
I believe the reason for my issue was a corrupt MTP driver, I recently did the asus sync update and that caused a number of sporadic errors! (Adobe AIR completely disappeared out my system!)
Anyway, thanks to the XDA community NOT (69 views not a single confirmation of driver version I was asking for!) I WILL help others and since I've spammed this thread enough to unlock the dev threads it's now being posted and linked there for the benefit of others!
3hours sleep 2 days of messing = pissed off but finally relived user of transformer!
Big shout to the dev's who have made the tools in the first place you're doing a great job, and I hope to assist, with guides, testing and maybe a mod or two.

Windows 7 OS
microsoft .net framework (latest version)
The Issue:
Once all steps followed, phone plugged in correctly in debugging mode with sd card unmounted, and SuperOneClick is activated via the "root" button I receive a not
responding notification at the top of the window. The root process seizes up at the Waiting For Device entry, and it will not move forward/Detect my device for anything!
What I've tried:
I have followed correct steps for rooting using SuperOneClick, tried running program as admin, tried ending the process via process manager before re-attempting the root multiple different ways, toggled debug during root process, turned phone on after running root, and downloading pdanet to find all the necessary drivers that may or may not have been missing.
Possible Reason For Issue:
After all this, what I beleive the problem to be is I am missing cdc abstract control model. Anytime I try to aquire this, I receive a "driver not found" message.
I have sought it out manually and turned up with nothing.
The Main Question:
How can i fix, or proceed past this point succesfully/get SuperOneClick to detect my Samsung Infuse 4G device?
Ideas/suggestions/info/programs that help/step by step assistance would all be greatly appreciated.
I used a search on the infuse forums and came across this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1088122&highlight=superoneclick
Therefore, this thread will be closed to keep the forum clean. Ask your question there.
Can anyone please help me...?
I'm running Windows XP, using the Kindle Fire Utility, and have installed Android SDK Tools. I'm attempting to root a Kindle Fire running 6.3.1.
I have followed instructions (from here and elsewhere), and while the KFU driver installer would not install the proper drivers, I WAS able to direct Windows to the driver folder and have it install them directly. Afterward, Windows had no problem seeing (in Device Manager) the KF as 'Android Composite ADB Interface', indicating the drivers are correct.
Now the problem. No matter what I do, I can't get ANY of the root systems (KFU or SDK Tools) to see the device when it is connected. Tried to use Fastboot command to change the boot loader to 4002 fastboot mode, but it also hangs on '< waiting for device >'...
I can see the device as a mass storage device in 'My Computer' and can add or delete files from it without issue, but I just can't make any progress rooting this thing without the appropriate programs being able to see it!
I HATE feeling stupid, and this thing is REALLY making me feel like I'M the idiot that can't see what's right in front of his face! Can someone PLEASE light the neon sign that will finally illuminate what my obviously lacking vision refuses to see?? (T_T)
Thank you for taking the time to read all this, and thank you to ANYONE who answers with ANY useful information! I'll be watching, and waiting with baited breath for SOME sort of assistance...

<update> 120 views now, and not even a scathing remark about how much of a moronic noob I am... While waiting, I went to PCWorld, and tried to follow their step-by-step, downloading Firefirefire, fbmode, TWRP, AOKP, and Google Aps for AOKP release 38. Once again, attempted to follow directions, and once again, get one of the dreaded variants 'device not found' when trying to use adb to push the fbmode file to the KF... (T_T)
SOLVED!!
It WAS a driver issue! I would like to say:
Thank you, thank you, THANK YOU!!! To josepho1997!
He posted a link to a set of drivers that was EXACTLY what I needed to get the Kindle to be recognized by root software!
KF is now fully rooted and flashed, and running IceCream Sandwich!!
Sorry I posted this whole thing here, instead of in the Q&A for the Kindle Fire... for some reason, I thought that was where I was, but later noticed otherwise...
To admin: please feel free to delete this whole topic, as it wasn't in the right place to begin with...
Once again, thank you to josepho1997 for his post to themagicm containing the link to the FAR better driver set!!!

Hi all, first off im not a complete noob, I've rooted/bootloader unlocked a few phones, jailbroken apple devices etc... but this issue has me pulling my hair out now. Apologies if im in the wrong section of the forum.
So, i'm trying to unlock my bootloader on the OnePlus One using ADB through the Android SDK and i'm having several issues.
1 i cant get my phone to be recognised as an ADB device, have installed every single driver i can find anywhere, and none of it works, my phone has the necessary Developer Options enabled.
2 the Android SDK doesn't actually open for longer than a fraction of a second, i have tried multiple Java SDK's to direct the Android.bat file at, nothings happening for me.
3 i installed Eclipse to open the SDK in, Eclipse doesn't even open, it freezes
Im using Windows 10 on a HP630 laptop. Been trawling through the XDA forums among other forums and websites and im yet to find a solution, im about to try installing JDK 1.7 xxxx to see if i can redirect Android.bat to that version of the Java.exe
I'm aware of the process i have to go through to unlock my bootloader, its just i cant actually get the Android SDK to open, my phone to be picked up as an ADB device, and using Windows button +R to open ADB interface does absolutely nothing either, it flashes on for a fraction of a second and its gone again.
I'd appreciate any help anyone can offer me, im tempted to throw my laptop through the window.
