I have come across a few tutorials claiming this app can get root, but I've never heard of it and so I will not try it fit fear of breaking my phone. Just wondering if this is known malware or at least semi legit? I stress that no one actually try it unless you're ready to not be able to use that phone again, but if any brave soul is willing to take the risk I'd be interested in any info.
It's not in any way legit as far as I can tell. I ran across it while looking for an easy way to root my phone and the APK turned out to be PUP adware that tried to gain device admin privs. At first I wondered if I just got a bad package, but I was never able to find a legit version. I did test the APK I had (out of pure curiosity), and it didn't actually install a launchable application at all. Just a hidden app that runs as a device admin and randomly launches the web browser and redirects to various ads. (Malwarebytes can detect and remove what seems to be all traces of it.)

no that is the right app you just need to fig your way thru... there is no eng version. i got it to work but did not like the iroot app so i then installed "superSU" here is how i did it, when it installs iroot you first reboot then install superSU from the play store and reboot then run super su, it will launch iroot and give superSU root abilty. then reboot... then uninstall iroot/vroot... and reboot one last time and you have a dragon touch with root and superSU
I was looking for a solution to root a Dragon Touch y88x 7" tablet last night, and as seems to be the case with most Dragon Touch products, there just isn't a lot of specific information on how to root them.
Someone had mentioned a tool to download from the manufacturer's website, but unfortunately the link to it is dead, and a Google search linked to the same dead page.
Then, some assbandit/shill/idiot/troll (not sure which; could be all of the above) recommended vRoot/iRoot. I should have known better, but the last time I was an active user of the forums here, people that posted advice could be trusted.
I can't for the life of me find the thread this jerk posted the link and said something like, "There's some adware it will try to get you to install, but just hit no or decline and you'll be fine".
So I found the download page. A page entirely in Chinese but for the button saying "Download". I clicked it, like every other gullible, desperate, or lazy moron that's ever clicked the link.
I had both Malwarebytes and aVast up to date and running at this time, just to be clear.
Upon running the installer, I was in fact asked if i would like to try some unknown worthless adware that checks the weather and a few others. Clicked "No" on all of them.
When the installer was done, the window for vRoot popped up. Entirely written in Chinese, I followed the instructions someone had written and it said it was successful.
BS. No dice.
Then, on my computer, (Win 7 X64), i noticed the notification bar filling up with crap I wouldn't install to save my life.
- I have no fewer than 9 processes that start with Windows that I am unable to uninstall or disable effectively.
- No fewer than 13 pieces of unwanted software that all pop up with their nag screens as soon as I logon to Windows.
I ran a full scan with Malwarebytes and got a few hits. Quarantined them, and ran a deep scan with aVast! which included a boot time scan that took all day. It found tons of corrupted and problematic files as well as some of this new software that is obviously malware. To my chagrin, when the computer was restarted and I logged back in, I was once again greeted with the nagware as if it were giving me the middle finger. WTF.
At this point, I am sure it's done other terrible things to my Windows installation and I'll have to go through the incredible pain in the ass of wiping the drive and re-installing Windows.
So thank you, assbandits that keep trolling and trying to get people to install this trash. I hope enough people notice this issue, jump up and down and whine and scream for the mods to hear our cry, and automatically close threads where vRoot and iRoot are mentioned until this plague goes away.
Bottom line is that vRoot/iRoot is a virus...or, really more like a virus launcher that launches an ICBM that has a warhead full of lots of wizards and angry bees and bill collectors that all want to make you miserable.

REPORTED.
I don't know what you personally gain from having people install this virus ridden piece of sh** but you have cost me alone a whole day of using my computer for work trying to rid it to this virus that just won't effing die. Avast didn't detect it. Malwarebytes didn't detect it. Neither will get rid of it.
SO I am reporting you and anyone else that promotes installing this horrible thing.
It does have malware, but!!!

First And Foremost - DON'T Panic about the Malware it installed.
While it's true that iroot / vroot does install malware, it should be noted that it also does gain root access on most android device's.
Now the good news for those of you that have malware issues with vroot or any program that installed crapware. It's very easy to remove.
Download combofix from bleepingcomputers web page, place it on your desktop.
Open your controls panel and run programs and features. Remove any program that was just installed at about the same time as iroot/vroot.
Now close all programs that are running, and launch combofix.
Follow the prompts until it is done. It will reboot your computer and display a text file of what was done. It is finished, and your computer is now cleaned of all malware.
Enjoy.

I thought that I would ask this question and then see what everyone has to offer.
I recently rooted my LG Volt phone and all is well. My next step is to take off some of the 'Bloatware' that came installed on the phone from VM.
My Question is HOW? and WHAT?
I know I would like to remove CHROME browser but not sure how. I know there are a lot of other apps that could come off that I'm not aware of that just slow down the phone and take up space. Has anyone ever developed a definitive list of the 'possible' bloatware that is installed on phones.
I'm afraid to remove some things incase it is required to operate the phone. So something that is critical to the phone operation should not be included on the list.
Once a list is developed than I could check against it to see what it is possible to remove.
Second part is how. Since my phone is rooted it should be fairly easy but not sure exactly how and to make sure I got all of a piece of software removed or am I leaving something behind that is more wasted space.
This, I would think, would be very useful to amateurs like myself.

install app called (system app remover) ....about WHAT : you need to un-install the apps that you don't need but doesn't harm the phone ....like if you are on Samsung phone or sony....you need to un-install chrome and Samsung store ....play groups...
simply my man you can un-install all the apps that shows in your app drawer ...else than that don't remove any thing
good luck :good:
Ok so to start off my ultimate goal is to be able to install chainfires systemless root to be able to install xposed systemless framework to then install the hide mock location program.
All of this is (most probably already know) in an attempt to be able to gps spoof in pokemon go without being banned. The only reason I am doing it is because I live in an extremely rural area with literally no pokemon around. I don't plan on taking over any random stuff gyms or doing anything else to infringe on any other players. Just find some pokemon and collect from some stops.
I have already attempted this only using a gps spoofing app but as expected I have been soft banned many times.
Basically, I'm just trying to find out if it is safe to root my S7 G930A. I have already looked at this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/att-galaxy-s7/how-to/root-s7-att-g930a-g935a-t3410538
Will this method (that seems like the only working method for the AT&T) erase everything on my phone? Is there an increased risk of bricking my phone using this method than anyone using the normal chainfire method?
With all that being said if there was an easier way to not be soft banned or to not have to cheat at all outside of driving a couple of hours to a decent location I would love to hear it. As far as the gps spoofing goes I don't see much of an issue with it as long as I'm not taking over gyms, which I don't plan to. I'm pretty sure that I am being soft banned because they are detecting that my ip address is clearly not an ip address anywhere near where I am changing my gps. I have looked into vpns to attempt to bypass this but I haven't found much luck.
Anyone have any ideas or suggestions. I know I shouldn't cheat but I feel like this is my only option at the moment. Oh and if this is just completely not the place for this kind of question you can tell me that too haha
Thank you in advance. First of all I am still a beginner in knowledge here. My Alcatel fierce 4 TCL 5056N seems to have been hacked and is now being remotely accessed and controlled by an unauthorized 3rd party. I may be way off base but I think my phone may have been exposed to a R.A.T.. Temporarily rooted long enough for someone to modify the kernel and other system coding, which I cannot access myself with an unrooted phone, installing some sort of sub-OS with limited user setting options and a completely different named storage platform,( I.e. emulated, bdef55, self), and not even factory resetting my device helps because it reboots into the sub-OS they installed. They are screen overlaying buttons, and toggles are being reversed in real time before my eyes, settings and options are disappearing from one minute to the next and I've somehow found myself poking around in some windows software on a PC that is used to develop Android software, maybe sdk, not sure but was Linux coding and looked like it was meant for me. I was on the other end of this hack for a few minutes tho but my lack of knowledge made this useless to me. I have downloaded many an app trying to combat this issue but to no avail. Although unsuccessful I have seen a few thing I don't understand but could possibly be helpful for you to identify exactly what my issue is. One thing is an app I downloaded said that a trust cert has enabled a malicious trust agent and my system is being remotely accessed by a third party. The rest is beyond my understanding but I'm going to list a few tidbits you may recognize. LIB, Kinguser, kingroot, persist, unremovable/???/xxx, code Aurora, bootstrap something, libnfc, system/framework/Apache/xml, bin, user value=0 or 1/2, managed provisioning, also a .base ext. on a bunch of sytem apps below the same app without and a few of others. I don't know if that's helpful but it's all I can remember. Symptoms are apps closing on their own, microphone and camera being remotely enabled, unable to update Google play services or store and being forced to use an obviously older and modified version with possible replica apps with restrictions, unexpected reboots, in settings/apps/permissions apps like gallery, when you click battery and then the little i button for info, it says it's a system app and all of the sudden the disable and force close buttons become un-highlighted and unusable and so on and so forth. Lastly, my home wifi is infected I think as well because my roommate is having the same issues. I've tried(unsuccessfully) to root my phone so I could manually remove some of these apps and extra coding and such but it seems impossible because of a locked bootloader. Tried about 10 different ways without success so I've just about given up and smashed the damn thing but then you geniuses popped into my head so I beg of you, please help me or if nothing else, tell me to proceed with the smashing...lol! Thank you very much for your time. P. s. I'm new to XDA dev website so maybe drop me a line at [email protected] with directions back to this thread. Had a bit if trouble navigating here. Thanks again and have a great day! -Spencer
Hello guys, as you probably see I'm new at this forums, there's only one reason I joined and is because I own the BLU STUDIO X5 (S390U) since while ago.
I noticed that this phone has built-in somewhat thing of malware on the system APKs of it. What do I mean? Don't matter how many times you do a clean, use anti-malware apps, hard-reset, even flashing to a new stock ROM or a CROM made from the original one: The problem is going to persist.
So... Tell us, which would be the solution? Well I was analysing all the possibilities, even evolving a CROM of it, however this infection it seems to be part of other APKs components, as it is visible through Anti-MalwareBytes, that Settings.APK is corrupted with it.
The solution it seems to be easy but it could be complex, even knowing that other APKs could be infected but are not listed on the scanns: Erasing Settings.APK and try to replace it with a non-infected one, but this is complex as I said.
Before I continue I need to explain what this infection does: After you use the smartphone for first time (counting resets, flashes, etc.) the smartphone is just good, even if your not using internet.
After sometime you will notice some new apps installed on your smartphone, what this infection does is to install them under what it could be called a "Silence mode", PlayStore is not needed to download such apps, either a Web Browser.
But, hey, this doesn't sound bad as it just sounds annoying lad... Aye, this sounds as if the problem is only something redundantly annoying, but not is only that, this malware is found as a Hijack and doesn't sound bad too, however, if someone with enough knowledge knows how to manage a Hijack it can even steal info from your smartphone.
But probably you're thinking, well you can fix it not allowing Unknown Sources APKs to install on it, well...
This is what it takes me to the second point of it: This malware changes the settings of your smartphone whatever the times it wants by itself, don't matter which app you use to not allow this change by itself, it is going to do it anyway.
But why? It seems that the infection has Root Access, what this mean is that it has a higher level access (is running under an Administrator mode).
And we're back again to the solution, you'll think: Maybe if I root it and replace the Settings.APK is going to be fixed, well is not that easy, apart of wasting your time, the smartphone can be even more vulnerable and unstable.
The best solution that is going to work and that's why I posted this here:
To fix this the Stock ROM must be re-built from zero. I'd do this on my own, the problem is that I'm not an advanced user, and I still learning programming and coding at my degree, every help with this would be flawlessly.
