This quote is from the crash root thread, my mini is on SU4.21 screen shot of status below, if I can unlock or get root and bypass the hotspot block unlimited data please provide a link to the thread that explains how to to it, thanks!

By the way if it is not clear to newbies, if you are fortunate enough to get a phone with SU4.21 instead of SU6-x, do NOT, I repeat do NOT flash VZW-4.4.4-SU6-7-release-keys.xml
Because then you are taking a valuable phone that can unlock the bootloader and forcing it to upgrade and it can never be downgraded again to SU4 from SU6
ie. the SU6 cannot unlock bootloader at this time, the SU4 can via sunshine
you CAN root the SU4 but it is using a different file than in this thread

This is a screen of my new droid mini, when I run sunshine it passes but tries to temp root and just reboots, never gets past rebooting. Can you link to the info on unlocking SU4.21 you mention please? Thank you

Kingroot did the trick, and I used an app that I have on my moto x to bypass the hotspot block, also froze the ota app so it wont update. All is fine without unlocking it, but when it reboots the root is gone and I need to rerun kingroot, is this the way kingroot works, or should it maintain root through a reboot? Im not sure I like the idea of leaving kingroot on the phone, I will probably unlock it with sunshine and do a factory reset and try rooting it a permanent way, thats something I've never done before, I mean install a custom rom and root that way. Do I need to install a custom rom in order to root permanently? Id rather not do that, but if its the only way than I will attempt it.
Thanks

No if you use sunshine then u can perment root without installing a custom ROM I know on my droid turbo after I installed twrp and ran it the first time it will ask you first thing if you want to root swip yes and it's done permently I assume it's the same way with the mini

Heres the issue. I am no noob at this whatsoever and have tried EVERYTHING. I have used every program I could find to attempt root and none can seem to gain root access. The install SuperUser or SuperSU and every time root fails even if said app is installed. Please help Im doing a talk on August 20th that I NEED this device for. All help appreciated. Thanks!
Im slightly confused as your sig says rooted stock
But anyway I recently got myself a Razr HD and I used http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2241788 to root and unlock bootloader
My device was 4.1.2 and I did not want to downgrade but this one worked :victory:
More info needed. Is your bootloader unlocked? If not, which firmware are you on?

Thank you, I think I may have worked out my issue! I was using 1.2 of that program. I think thats why. Let me give this a go
Tried again with this guy and still got failure. I always get this:

Quality is better than quantity
I rooted my Nexus 7 a while back and when I updated the android version I lost my root. It still says my bootloader is unlocked but it isn't. Could someone help me re-root my tablet?
Unlocked bootloader doesn't have anything to do with root. You can have a unlocked bootloader tablet with no root.
Anyway to answer your question, it's fairly easy to root it again. Check this thread. If you find it too complicated, try this one or this
You're welcome, just next time use the SEARCH button. These threads are always on the forums

Search a video on YouTube called "Nexus 7 ROOT - How to Root Nexus 7! (Android 4.4/4.3/4.2.1/4.2.2)"
As you already know my boat loader is already unlocked and all I had to do was install the root app (SuperSU) and recover my tablet. But after I recovered I tried to update and it failed, still no root access.
Do you have 3G version? Here is another guide for you.. I thought you got the newer 2013 edition so the previous links were not that useful

I had tried "Kingroot" and "Framaroot" two days ago. Both of them don't work for F1.
Anyway，thanks for your sharing.:highfive:
There is no working root for Oppo F1 at the moment. Safe rooting methods are not available. The bootloader is locked and fastboot has been disabled.
I'd be very careful about trying to use one click app solutions for attempting to root the device, if you can get them to work. They are responsible for suspicious behavior, such as downloading stuff and installing their own root manager. Beware.
No hope
I tired everything, kingroot, Framaroot, oppo tool, Kingoroot no hope ?
Someone please find a way to root this phone
You still haven't figured out how to root this?

nice :good:
perhaps you can give us more clues :
1. does we need unlock bootloader / not ?
2. it need flashing from recovery (or even flash custom recovery) or only just an apk ?
this is interesting :highfive:
Has anyone tried TowelRoot?
Please help us root this device!
Thank you guys so much!
would using adb and remounting everything manually work? or downloading a firmware update and modding that
It will be much like my Find 7. Need to unlock bootloader to install TWRP recovery so you can flash SuperSU.
The trick is having an unlocked bootloader in the first place. The Find 7 wasn't a problem. Oppo didn't try to lock the user out.
I have an F1 here for my wife. Will root it once a developer has the exploits developed, tested and released to public. Just have to be patient and don't rush in doing risky experiments.
Try changing the launcher so it has a better UI for the daily stuff. ColorOS launcher is a PITA.

lol. uh no.
1: you can't remount system as /rw on a user build (only engineering/userdebug).
2: I think you mean a OTA update for system. Both the firmware and system are signed. You can't just do that.
You can use CVE-2015-1805. I got root via a kernel vuln, then exploited the bootloader to unlock it

It would be appreciated sooo much...
Thank you for your help.
I updated to the latest version a few weeks ago, I am on 4.4.4 SU6-7.7. I am wondering if there is any possible root methods working for this update, or do I need to flash my device to a lower firmware then go from there?
did you get this done?? I'm working same issue.

Nope... I honestly doubt I will EVER get to find a root my phone. According to some people, it's nearly impossible.
I also gave up, is there a way to use xposed without root?
Never update...
Just do what everyone else does.. Download KingRoot app and keep checking back momentarily. No root = NO XPOSED
Download SunShine from theroot.ninja and check eligibility. If compatible, pay $25 - or not. Good luck to you

hi i am using xt1080 latest firmware, i was able to root my mobile with kingoroot app which bears a lock in icon, not the crown one ( v3.1), however root is for like 5 mins then root allow option does not work, i would like to invite developers if they can setup anything during this time so we may unlock bootloader setup custom recovery and enjoy marshmallow or nougat i will visit back thankshttps://youtu.be/5-dbcs5LpiwKINGOROOT NOT KINGROOT
V 3.1 LOCK IN ICON
WAITING FOR HELP
this looks encoutaging
some developer please come forward and try for a permanent root.
Thanks in advance
anyone find the method to root this...?
please share method for latest su6-7.7
guys i want to root my phone on the fast and very simple way possible.
found this root method on https://autoroot.chainfire.eu
this is the link for the root method https://download.chainfire.eu/982/C...Auto-Root-heroqltetmo-heroqltetmo-smg930t.zip
i did not tryed it my self yet. but if theres a user that rooted their phone that way, let me know.
bump
I don't think this will work unless we get our Bootloader unlocked (which hasn't been done yet as far as i know)
UNLOCK BOOTLOADERS
If you have locked bootloaders, flashing one of these will probably brick your device - with the exception of Nexus devices, which will usually automatically "OEM unlock" and wipe your data !
this is kind of lame.... why chainfire release a auto root if the thevice have bootloader locked down? and onlockable?
Confused myself
I want to say root is possible, there are tons of sites with instructions: https://www.google.com/search?q=SM-...i57j0j69i60.9343j0j4&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8
Of course, XDA doesn't seem to have a specific G930T thread for rooting with instructions, then see threads like this today. I was all set to give it a try, but unsure if should proceed...
Did find this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/tmobile-galaxy-s7/help/sm-g930t-root-doesnt-void-warranty-t3415936
EDIT: so the one linked in original comment was the bleeding edge root process and seems like had a really high failure rate. Most current I've seen is: http://lifeatsamsung.com/root-t-mobile-galaxy-s7-sm-g930t-2/
Seems a little more clean cut and easy. I'll edit again if I find a newer solution or at least commentary on success/fail
In comments OP posts:
Yes I am planning to make a video tutorial.
Also I used the method provided here (this is Max Lee's website)

Worked for me, no problem. Even installed the debloated, deox'd ROM. Unfortunately after root you will need to follow rest of guide, otherwise you will see some lag issues.
On the other side of it, phone is great, fast, if not faster than before, and got root. Let me know if you would like some screenshots proving a TMO phone is rootable or if can answer any questions

This means that the only rooting method right now isn't as stable as it would be if it had a unlocked bootloader the root right now will cause some issues but they can easily be fix from some of the steps after rooting guides that are in the xda forums and yes it using a Qualcomm processor Witch is pretty much the snapdragon and there hasn't been any luck this past year of getting the bootloader unlocked for full and smooth rooting I'm really ****ty at explaining sorry if your still lost
The Chainfire method he released does NOT work. I'm not sure why he released it...maybe he knows of a future bootloader unlock that we don't know about.
