Hey there, so here's the issue:
I have wanted root on my at&t 4g Moto G since day one, but found that the bootloader was unlockable. Well that's fine, I managed to obtain root with the tools KingoRoot and KingRoot (Kingo can't work by itself, i tried to update su binary with SuperSU and it made it freak out, it now no longer works). But now what happens is when I try to screencapture, it wont work, I can't uninstall system apps, BusyBox won't install, but I can run root checker with a positive result, and all root apps i try tell me they have root access. Is this a case of ignorance on my part, or is there a step i'm missing. If there's a script you run, or an app you install, throw me a line here, i'm loosing my mind.
Here's the relavent info for the phone if you would happen to need it:
Model #- Moto G (Duh)
Kernel Version- 3.4.42-gd8f2775 [email protected] fri sep 5 20:49:01 CDT 2014
Carrier- at&t
System Version- 21.12.63.peregrine_att.att.en.US att
Android Version- 4.4.4
Ask me anything else ya want.:fingers-crossed:
I'll just say this... King Root or whatever they call it nowadays, is a very sketchy application and has a poor history. I suggest staying far away from it.
I suggest you flash stock firmware and call it a day and if you must have Root, you may need to buy a different device.

AFAIK, there are no exploits for the AT&T model.
A side note: If you live in a area that has Boost Mobile (Sprint) coverage, you can pick up a Moto G (2013) for $45 or a Moto E LTE (2015) for $60 new, and both are bl unlockable.

Hey everyone,
So this is pretty straight foreward, I'm attempting to root my Galaxy Core Prime (G360T, from T-Mobile in US) and I have had absolutely zero luck finding ANYTHING related that model number.
I've found plenty of stuff here, but it is all related to the G360H, G, and even the T1 (i think?) I've tried Kingo, Odin, and a few other things and I'm getting absolutely no where.
I'm wondering if anyone out here has had any luck with rooting this device in particular, or if maybe there is something I'm missing? I'm pretty new to the idea of rooting devices but I'm a proficient technically so I'm not exactly sure what is going on.
Is it T-Mobile software or something blocking the ability to root? I can't believe there is that much of a difference between my phone and say the G360H.
Thanks in advanced for the help, as I'm totally clueless at this point.

There are many of us using the MetroPCS version G360T1 that will gladly try any root method you get going. Feel free to contact directly if you need some testing help. While waiting for root, I tried Package Disabler Pro 3.7 that was released September 15. It works fine on the G360T1, although it says "Custom" under "Device status" in "About Device -> Status." Haven't gone to Download Mode to see if the triangle is set or not, but I'm guessing the flash counter has been tripped. I'm not worried about it too much, and it may have been tripped with some other attempt to root the device. Still, this app was just what I needed to disable all the junkware and still have a smooth working Lollipop 5.1.1 while waiting for the real goodies.

The thing is i got g3601 and its running kitkat and no update availble on it ??? so i am porting 5.1 for it.Recovery has been patched up and working kinda fine but need to fix alot of issues.normally i dont develop for mid range mobiles but my brother got one so that is why i started with this one.my first projects are z3 + and xperia lines.I will let you know when it is completed for testing.
Hmm, I thought this was for SM-G360T and the Samsung Galaxy Core Prime that is out for T-Mobile and running Lollipop 5.x. Is the G3601 a typo or different model? The MetroPCS G360T1 will work fine with the firmware and files from T-Mobile G360T because they are the same device and even same network provider. Anyway, it looks like someone was kind enough to modify the kernel source code the Samsung posted just a week or two ago. Here is the news, but be warned that it will trip the KNOX flag:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-core/development/kernel-root-root-sm-g360t1-5-1-1-t3203522
I put my G360T1 in download mode and it still says official and no warning triangle. I mentioned that it said custom in the About Phone page after doing other terminal entries and running Package Disabler Pro 3.7. Some may want to wait to root the device until there is a deodex'd rom out there to run xposed framework. I like the slimed down stock 5.1.1 and there are a bunch of garbage programs hogging the decent entry level device resources. More news to come...

My specs:
Model #: SM-360T
Android Version: 5.1.1
Baseband Version: G360TUVU1AOF9
I migrated from Nokia 521 - Windows 8.1 phone to this Android device because of the litany of apps I could use for productivity. I am highly disappointed that I am unable to revoke permissions of applications to resources I think they don't need. So, I basically use phone to make calls and text. If someone has successfully rooted THIS smartphone version, please advise. I'm a little technical, too.
Try this: https://autoroot.chainfire.eu. find your model and download the file you need, unzip it then put your phone in download mode and use odin 3.7 to send it to the phone. That outta be enough. I have not rooted this particular device in a while but I have rooted plenty of others using that method and it works like a charm every time. I just did a quick look up and your model is listed there. Give it a try and post your results.
Thank you so much, Geevil!!!
Appreciate your response.

Hello how would one root the sm-g360t and get custom recovery on it ?
Sent from my SM-G360T using Tapatalk
I have the sm g360t1, though no computer to connect the phone to. I see this phone listed in the cf-auto root repository linked above- not sure if that method needs a computer. King root may have worked, though the root gone by when using w0lfdroid's
Kingroot removal/supersu installer. It worked on orher phones.
King root is such spyware. I really want to try something else...

Yes King Root is bad. Pretty much like malware for your device. Don't use cf-auto-root either, as it's kind of a generic root and doesn't really function properly. I'm helping people constantly fix their devices after either tryung King or CF. Use Trapkernel to root the SM-G360T1 & SM-G360T. It's quick and easy and roots the device with no problems.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=62859013 Here is the recovery you should use too in case anyone's wondering. You flash it the same way as root.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=66266209
I recommend using version 3.0.1-0 though, as version 3.0.2-0 has had problem flashing certain roms for some reason.
Thanks bogarty, I was able to root and flash custom recovery on my phone with both links you provided here.. I have the T-Mobile version (SM-G360T) but everything went well
Dont know if ppl still trying to root this device but I just found out that you can download the rooting file trough chainfire for this model. Here´s the link: https://download.chainfire.eu/767/C...to-Root-cprimeltetmo-cprimeltetmo-smg360t.zip
Why do that when there is a root method for this device.

Lg stylo H634
I have the Lg stylo h634 through Cricket. After reading another thread I used Kingroot to root my phone. However I decided I wanted to removed the root so I can upgrade to Marshmallow. So I purchased Supersu to get rid of kIngroot. My phone is now stuck in bootloop. At this point I don't care what ROM I have, I just need my phone back. Any suggestions, help or even a "I'm screwed buy a new phone" statement would a least let me move on. I have been at this for about a week now.
Thank you

Bring it to where you got it and play dumb. Don't mention root or anything of the sort. As far as they're concerned you don't know jack about phones. Just tell them it froze and you had to pull the battery to reset it but now it wont turn on.
My Cricket Wireless LG G Stylo is also briked
I rooted my Cricket Wireless LG G Stylo (H634) with Kingroot then I used Super sume to covert to SuperSU instead of Kingroots after I used the Super sume app and updated binaries the phone restarted and and is stuck on the LG logo. Boost and Metro has flash files all over the web TOT and KDZ files we need flash files for the Cricket Wireless LG G Stylo if anyone can post them online thank you in advance.
Me 2 but i still had warrant after i rooted
I bricked my phone with supersu me but i still had warranty after i rooted with king root so i called it in and they gave me a new phone
I rooted my new lg stylo with king root and sticked with kingroot cause i dont want to
Brick my phone again ever since my phone worked perfectly fine if you ever get a new phone just stick with kingroot
Avoid apps that cause phone to Brick
Xposed installer
Super SU me
Dont use these apps unless theres a kdz available for your phone
I am rooted with New version 4.8 KingRoot. Have root checker Pro by joeykrim. No issues. First attempt with super su bricked. But phone was three days old. Duh my phone locked. New phone is rooted for good. Need custom recovery though.

While I have found tons of tutorials for rooting various models of the s5, I haven't found mine yet. Here's the details:
Galaxy s5
model: SC-04F
carrier: NTT Docomo (Japan)
android 5.0 Lollipop
kernel version: 3.4.0-5605451
KNOX version: 2.3
Admittedly I am in over my head. It's my first time attempting a root and this model seems to be a tricky one. In my search I found a few automated solutions for the SC-04F model of gs5, but they were all meant for android 4.4.2. I decided to give it a try despite this difference (not a good idea, I'm sure). This method revolved around flashing with Oden using a CF-Auto Root file. Oden flashed the device, restarted it and gave me the green "passed" notification. After flashing I used Root Checker to verify, and sure enough it was rooted.
So far so good, but then I opened SuperSu (which installed as part of the automated flash) and it needed to update binaries. I tried the "normal" installation method, which failed, and then did some reading that suggested updating the SuperSu app from the Play Store. It did need an update, so I updated. This changed nothing. Just out of curiosity I check Root Checker again, and all the sudden I was no longer correctly rooted.
I have tried repeating the flash process from the beginning to no success. I haven't been able to root it since. Nor have I been able to use SuperSu to "Full Unroot" the device. I would like to have one or the other; establish root or completely unroot. I seem to be somewhere in the middle and it's very frustrating.
Any pointers?

Temp Root on LG G Stylo LS770 M 6.0 ( Boost / Sprint )
Attention if you decide to try this and end up with a BRICK / Expensive paperweight or your device decides to transform and destroys your home town that's on you. You have been warned . So just read all of this instructions (and read the O.P more then once)
I can confirm temp root on the LG G Stylo LS770 M 6.0 ( Boost / Sprint ) . Perm root will work with Android OS 2.1 - 5.1 & TEMP Root for Android OS 6.0 - ?
Downloads
Download King root ( Suggest from their website and not the Play store ) http://www.kingroot.net/
Download BusyBox from the Play store ( I suggest BusyBox from Jrummy ) https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.jrummy.busybox.installer&hl=en
Download a Root Cheaker to verify root , I suggest https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.joeykrim.rootcheck&hl=en
Instructions
Download all the necessary APP's and Files .
Run KingRoot and just follow the in app instructions ( Normally you will get to around 23% and the app will say failed to root device but it hasn't yet for me )
Run whatever Root checker you decided to download and verify root ( if you didn't obtain root just run KingRoot again )
Run and install BusyBox
PROFIT
Now you are able to use Apps and Mods until you re-boot your phone.
-Permanent root is reversible, open the app and there will be a button to unroot
-Temporary root will be removed after a reboot
Temporary root
These are usually one-step apps that you install on your phone, and they give you root access until the next time your phone is restarted. They are a great way to get your feet wet,and you can do a lot with them -- both good and bad. The ease of use makes temporary rooting pretty popular, and it's a fine choice if your reasons for rooting are to use root-enabled apps from the Market.
That being said, some apps just aren't going to work unless you go all out and permanently root your phone. This depends a lot on which phone you're using, as manufacturers have an endless supply of dirty tricks to keep the hardware you paid for under lock and key. You'll either have to ask users with the same model as you're using, or use trial and error. The good news is that the popular root-enabled apps, and the ones you're most likely to want to use should work without a problem. Titanium Backup, Wireless Tether, Root Explorer and the like should do just fine.
The last thing to keep in mind, is that not all changes will be permanent. For example -- using a utility to "freeze" bloatware (applications from your carrier that you don't want or need) may not keep them frozen and hidden after a reboot. Also some of the newer HTC phones have an evil little bug a feature that reverts any changes you have made to the system, bringing it back to the way it was before you started hacking away at it. In those cases, the only fix is to perma-root your phone.
Permanent root
This is where things get a bit hairy. Some phones, like the Nexus One, don't need to be rooted -- they can be unlocked via the Android SDK and modified at will. Other phones, like the OG Droid, are really easy to root, and will only take a few minutes. Finally, some phones, like the T-Mobile MyTouch 4G force you to jump through flaming hoops and follow often cryptic instructions, laden with warnings about bricking your phone. That's a whole 'nother rant for a different venue, but it does need said so that you know what you may be getting yourself into. You'll need to do your homework, ask any questions you feel are unanswered or are unsure of, and weigh all this into your decision. Everyone who says "It's easy!" (including me) really means they found it easy -- that doesn't necessarily mean you will.
Now that I've sufficiently scared you, it's time to talk about why anyone in their right mind would go through this. Besides the advantages of keeping changes persistent between reboots, and those few Market apps that won't work with a temp-rooted phone, you have what many consider the best part of owning an Android phone -- custom ROMs.
To flash any custom recovery, kernel, or ROM, you're going to need to have permanent root access to your phone. Flashing new firmware is very low level stuff, and you need read and write access to everything. The good news is that usually the rooting is the most difficult part, and a custom recovery gives you access to a tool that can take a snapshot of your system, and save it as a restore point. That's a good thing, because once you start flashing, you're hooked -- and a single command restore is priceless.
Hopefully I've helped a little in your decision making, and remember -- there is always help in the XDA forums. Find the specific area for your model of Android phone, and look for the link at the top to the hacking section. Those guys live for this stuff, and will steer you in the right direction.

Somehow after freezing few apps most Google one, rebooted and got code: 1003 system been modified and stuck in boot loop at initial boot, just reboots after LG logo. Tried to factory reset and LG tool, already running 6.0 latest OS. Had root, busy box easy install and rebooted it, stuck. Soft brick?
I'm sorry to hear that , I've personally never had a problem uninstalling apps on the LG G Stylo but i only really uninstall the bloat from my carrier . There is a Safe To Debloat Guide for our phone but I haven't personally tried it out yet .
Sadly we don't have the KDZ file for our phone so you cant just simply re-flash your phone . But hopefully that doesn't mean we cant get your phone back up and running . There are a few different things we can try .
Can you give me all the information about your phone as you can like carrier, model number , software version and so on .

Ya they did a number on locking this device . How were you able to get a replacement so fast ?
I'm just hoping we can get fastboot working so we don't have these types of problems.

Any way to root boost mobile only to edit hosts file and then un-root to prevent LAF lock-down?
I'll actually test if editing the build prop with temp root will allow the change to stick after a reboot .
Ive been spending all my free time trying to get fastboot running to tinker with temp root to much .
STAY AWAY FROM KING ROOT! I used King Root last night to obtain root on Marshmallow for my LGMS631 running the official T-Mobile update. Root was successful however the system became very unstable to the point which I decided to unroot and uninstall King Root completely. After restarting my phone I was prompted with Secure Boot Error and MODIFIED. If I didn't have access to a stock KDZ my phone would have been a complete paperweight with no other choice but to send it in to LG for repair. My suggestion to all LG G Stylo users that are not with T-Mobile or MetroPCS will be that you avoid King Root at all costs. Without a KDZ and the LG Flash Tool you will nit be able to recover from a soft brick.
No KDZ available for Boost/Sprint
Anyone got a way to edit hosts file?
Do not root 6.0 boost until bootloader has been unlocked.
it will need to be rooted
it will need to be rooted
as stock marshmallow 6.0 uses too much memory upto 886 mb
only 65 mb free
As of right now we haven't been able to pull the system.img
Sent from my LG-ls990 using XDA-Developers mobile app
Doesnt look like any root for us virgin, boost or sprint stylo owners, shame. Glad its just my sons phone.

Any way to root boost mobile only to edit hosts file and then un-root to prevent LAF lock-down?

Yes. I did replace the hosts file with using kingroot. I rebooted and was fine. I later bricked it doing something else and sent it to LG for free repair. I haven't rooted since. Isn't there the tot files posted to recover from a brick on Boost?
Now I'm using NetGuard (here on XDA) that uses a VPN instead of root to implement a hosts list. I also have my DPI set to 270 but that can be done via ADB without root. :]
