select Other Brands
Failed to Root? WTF!
Calm down, there are more ways on how to root,

Another alternative to Universal Androot is z4root
For Android 2.3 - 4.3
Some devices vulnerable to exploit rooting can be rooted via "Framaroot", Just press the exploit mode below the SU management app ( You may even choose whether to install SuperSU or Superuser ) and voila your rooted
Root through kernels
Well if your mobile's bootloader is unlocked, Most kernels have auto root function which roots your phone with the latest SU and just flash the Kernel via ODIN or Flashtool through fastboot and your rooted
* This requires Unlocked Bootloader
Rooting Manually ( No Apps or whatsoever )

[Q] Rooting Spreadtrum SC6820

Model - Symphony W15
Android - 2.3.5
Kernal Version ¨C 2.6.35.7
Software version ¨C ZE25PBA_044_V8_0_5
Hardware version ¨C V2.0 ¨C SC6820 (1 Ghz.)
Screen ¨C 3.5¡± HVGA.
I tried several methods such as DoomLord, SuperOneClick, UnlockRoot, Z4Root,Framaroot,SRS etc to root the phone but none worked.
Tried ADB to manually root the phone through commands but almost every command returns ¨C ¡°Permission Denied¡± or ¡°Read Only System¡±. However files su, SuperUsr.apk, BusyBox were easily pushed into /data/local/tmp. Further steps like making local.prop and onwards could not be executed and returned above stated errors. Also tried modifications by putting update.zip on SdCard root and runningAndroid Recovery System but this method also returned error ¡°SignatureVerification Failed¡±.
Scanned my device with ¡®X-Ray¡¯ app which reported that device or firmware I am using had been patched and is not vulnerable to any of the exploit available at the moment.
I desperately need rooting to remove pre-installed bloatwares and applications to free internal memory which is very less. I am trying to root phone for the last several days but every method has failed. Can any one help??

[Completed] Root Tudou91 D1 *no other forums on this*

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.

if it helps, i extracted launcher apk and it had something like s3 launcher.
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.

messed up

10:14:42 AM [+] Remounting /system Filesystem as R/O..
10:14:48 AM [+] Rooting Complete !
I cant find the superuser app, and i checked with root checker pro if i had root, and it says that the device is not rooted.
root checker pro:
superuser application- is not installed!
SuperSU application- is not installed.
analysis: Setuid attribute present and root user ownership present. Root access is correctly configured for this file! Executing this file can grant root access!
I found the file in system/bin/su but i dont know how to execute it.
also to top things up, when i tried srs root option for gesture lock, it said this
10:33:43 AM - Starting ADB Server..

SuperSU denied permissions please help!

I have rooted my Galaxy S6 Edge using Frama root [Latest] and installed SuperSU from Play store. I updated the binary (100% sure ) using normal mode. And everything was fine.
I downloaded a root checker and when i ran it, supersu popped up, i clicked "Grant" and it said Root Checker has been granted superuser permissions for an interactive shell but the root checker showed - Sorry, Root access is not properly installed.
I have many other root checkers but it still doesnt work.
I have tried installing supersu in system, tried reinstalling, cleanup, etc. Nothing works.
Please help.

Help root s 10 plus

Root access problem
Are you try install superSU via recovery mode?(Installing update .zip) Do you have custom recovery like CWM or TWRP? Or in my opinion you must try kingroot.This application have good application for grand root access too with 100% functionality.I know that because I already use it and everythink is fine with this application.So try install superSU.zip via recovery mode.
