[Completed] [Q] Can Posh Equal S700a be rooted?

I have tried rooting this phone using Kingo and iRoot, but it doesn't work. Kingo times out after the phone reboots and the iRoot PC app doesn't detect the phone, even though the drivers are installed. I also tried using the iRoot mobile app, but it also fails to root the device after explicitly stating that the device was successfully rooted. I also tried some of the other tools listed here such as TowelRoot and FramaRoot. TowelRoot says that my device is not supported and FramaRoot isn't compatible either. Does anyone know how to root this phone? I've searched this forum, as well as the rest of the web, and there seems to be absolutely nothing online about this phone.

Hi,
I can't find anything relevant on XDA for your device. You will need to ask for help here,

[Completed] Need Help on How to Root Samsung G900A

I got a new phone because my iphone 5 got stolen and it was jailbroken and when I got my samsung device I decided I want to root it. Upon research and countless hours on how to root my phone I got nothing. I guess i'm new when it comes to rooting and i'm trying my best to learn as much as possible.
Anyways, I've tried Kingo Root and it keeps failing, i've tried King root (2 different applications of king root) When I open the app it says Root Acess is unavailable and on the bottom of the app it says Root strategy available, just try it and there is a button asking to try to root. And then it goes to 16% then goes up slowly and then it jut says root failed no strategy retry. Sometimes the app closes out and my homescreen is all black.
I've heard of odin but I've never tried it, if anybody could help me out on rooting my device that would be great.
Model Number: SAMSUNG-SM-G900A
Running android 5.0
The baseband version is G990AUCU4BOF3

[Completed] HELP Devs Plz. Samsung Galaxy Alpha SM-G850F Failed to root after so many tries.

Hello Developers. I have Samsung Galaxy Alpha SM-G850F and i want to root it..
I treid all method (i guess). I also tried Rooting method of CF AUTO ROOT FILE which i did using by Odin tool.
But the problem is after flashing the file when phone reboots it shows SuperSu on my phone but when i open it to check whether its rooted or not it ask me to update binary. And when i try to update binary from Normal Mode it says installation failed.
I also checked with Root Checker Basic App and it also says that Your phone does not have root access in red lines.
I really want to use my phone's deep features but this wont me allow.
I really expect a reliable solution from here cause this is the only place where i can find some experts , pls Devs help me to root it. ( forgot to mention i also tried the one click root method, and very similar apps to root itself by phone.) Once root checker showed that my phone is rooted when i installed a app KINGUSER , and it was working to give root access to some apps. But i want to root with SuperSu. Got really frustrated:crying: by trying this hundreds of time pls help me. (And sorry for Bad English)

[Completed] Rooting Galaxy s5

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?

[Completed] Kindly extend your expertise

Hi, i seriously need your expert guidance. I tried everywhere on this great forum but could not find the information. I bought 2 Doogee X5 Max for my sisters.. One is working just fine but other is not able to recognize network. I researched this further and realized that IMEI number beneath battery is different than what we get on pressing *#06#. Chinese counterpart is of no help as there is a major language barrier. I was told by one of the technician that IMEI numbers needs to be mapped to ones beneath the battery but for that phone needs to be rooted. I did almost everything Kingroot, kingoroot, vroot, framaroot but nothing was helpful. I also tried flashing TWRP from needrom using SP flash tool and though it flashed it successfully, TWRP does not get launched.. I tried everything using ADB and other root tools but none was sucessful. The only information about this phone root procedure is available on 4PDA but thats in russian. I tried google translate but it is of no use. I also tried above all mentioned methods by unlocking bootloader but its all in vain.. Please help.. I am counting on you experts

Friends.. Please i need your assistance
