2. Enable USB Debugging , Go to Settings > About phone and tap 7 times on Build number to enable USB Debugging mode.
5. Open the vRoot and Connect your phone Xperia M to your PC , you will see a green Root icon in vRoot, click on that to start the rooting process.
6. When it is finished your phone will restart automatically and vRoot will show something like the below screenshot.
7. Congrats your phone is now rooted
Note :- If you want to change the Superuser app to SuperSU , just download SuperSU from Playstore , open it , it will ask for Root Permissions , grant it , then follow the screen instructions to update the binary and remove the other Superuser app , finally restart the application.
Note : This method works on both locked and unlocked bootloader devices!!!

I got upto installing Super SU and updating binaries, but if i remove the other superuser app, i lose root...

1. do i need to have bootloader unlocked or locked bootloader is fine to root?
2. does rooting will void my warranty? i only knew that unlocking bootloader might void my warranty
thanks
just bought this phone yesterday and overall it's awesome for mid-end device, the only cons is it's internal storage that is too small. mine has only 1,7GB left for user to install program and store data

No need unlocking bootloader for rooting our device
Do not unlock bootloader it is not necessary until if u want to Install custom rom and flash different kernel since stock rom works good
Ull lose warranty if rooted but u can unroot ur mobile easily by flashing stock rom
If unlocked bootloader Ull lose warranty forever even tat we can relock just don't do it

when i installed SuperSU it automatically removed the other Chinese Superuser app

Until this method is verified to be working safely and without malware, I would advise everyone not to use this method. This thread and any other are to be closed. Please report them to the moderation team.

Please post what system version you are on. If you have either of the last 2 OTAs, you won't be able to unlock.

No worries, thanks for the photo. Unfortunately, you're on the latest update and you can't unlock the bootloader or gain root access. The BL unlock was patched on the last OTA and root was eliminated on this latest OTA.

The exploit used to unlock the bootloader was patched by verizon. If you took an update, or received a phone with the update already installed, the exploit is fixed and you can no longer unlock the bootloader.
It's not a matter of him not considering you a brother.

Vivo Xplay 3S Rooted

First off, we have root. I'll post the method soon. Its using the third exploit in the cydia impactor.
Secondly, its kinda pointless until we can get the bootloader unlocked. This phone is locked tight.

Hehe,
yes.
We seem to have similiar taste....
I am very thankful, because I need my Vivo to play drum loops and use AirPlay on my iMac, which is linked to an amplification system (I am a Sax player).
This is working fine now using AirAudio on the Vivo (needs root).
One thing about the chinese root manager: I cannot get rid of it. I installed SuperSU and tried "Update", but it does not work even if I restart the device.
Any suggestions?
Thanks,
Günter

Yes. Open dial and press:
*#*#7378423#*#*
This opens service menu, choose Service Info and then Configuration.
Look for rooting status. If it says bootloader unlocked than you are unlocked. If it says Unlock allowed Yes, then you are locked but can unlock. If it say Unlock allowed No, than it's provider locked version and can not be unlocked, but still rootable.

Bootloader is never unlocked BY INSTALLING custom fw. But you need to unlock first to install custom firmware. However, stock based custom fw doesn't need it. So if you have unlocked bootloader, you must have did it by yourself or it was already unlocked if you both it second hand. Unless you have backup of your TA partition there is no way back. Never try to flash TA partition of other phone into yours or you will hard brick it.

OPPO a3s - ROOTING

Hi All,
I just wanted to ask if Rooting in Oppo a3s (Model: CPH1803) is possible.
I'm afraid to try rooting it because I haven't found any Rooting tutorials in YouTube and Google. I think it's because this was a new release. Sorry about my English grammar I hope you understand it.
I hope someone OPPO a3s user whom successfully rooting this Model will notice this thread.
Thank you for the help.
•Android 8.1.0

Me too

some sites on google search result say kingroot is able to root oppo a3s, but there are no comments to prove the truth
so I don't try it

Do we have an update on how to root oppo a3s?

Fastboot isn't disabled, the fastboot binarues simply don't exist, OPPO removes them for some reason and as far as I know there sre no available installation files for them at the moment.
considering how bloated ColorOS is compared ro it's base system MIUI, I find this move very ****ty on their part

Guys those who have pc please try to make a twrp
I found a video on the YouTube maybe it will be helpfull...:good: xda is not allowing me to post the link so im leaving a thumbnail.

Anyone send me a stock recovery file
Trying to make twrp on android

Can't root
So there's no way to root OPPO A3s?
Now i'm sad:crying:

What is the best way of going about this? Should we be targeting the Fastboot unlocking or Injection first, or should we be looking at other ways? there is a massive opportunity to make a $100 flagship killer here but Colour OS ruins the experience. Sadly I own the phone now and I don't really want to buy another one.

Somebody please send me the stock recovery img please
I'm trying to make a twrp for oppo a3s so pls send the stock recovery img as fast as you can

Im quitting
So nobody wants a twrp:fingers-crossed:

Binary Removed
As per the research , Oppo removed the Fastboot Binary and Secure the Bootloader .Right...?
So can we Not flesh the Binary file on bootloader fro the enable Fastboot...??
