Step 1: Rooting your device

Rooting your phone will void your warranty, so if you wanna do this make sure you don't have any warranty for your device, or don't, because today nobody cares about warranty!
1. Go to autoroot.chainfire.eu and download the zeroflte version
2. Put your phone in download mode by: Turning it off, pressing Power + Home + Vol Down keys at the same time
3. If it asks for anything, which it should, press the Vol Up key
4. Make sure you have the drivers installed on your PC, if not, please, download them and install them
5. Plug your phone in your PC, I suggest using the original cable, just so y'know, nothing explodes
6. Download a program called Odin, make sure to download any that is V3+, but I recommend the latest
7. Open Odin, select the AP option on the side, and locate your file, usually called CF-Auto-Root-something.tar.md5
NOTICE! This will restore your recovery to Stock
8. Load the file and click start
9. Don't worry if your device reboots constantly a few times, and takes a little longer to boot, it's normal
10. Check if you have the SuperSU app installed, if yes, you're all good
Step 2: Flashing a custom Recovery
Flashing a custom recovery is the thing that's gonna make it possible to even flash anything
1. Go to http://www.pocketpc.ch/samsung-gala...builded-thehacker911-android-6-0-1-g92xf.html and select wether you have the S6 or the edge
2. Do the same process as with the rooting process, though it will not automatically boot into the recovery, you have to do it yourself, but don't do it yet
Step 3: Unlocking your bootloader
You may be able to root your device and flash a custom recovery, but you aren't gonna be able to flash a custom ROM without unlocking your bootloader
1. Download the arter97 recovery, it's actually a modded TWRP, so it's gonna replace Philz, but you can always reflash Philz, because I heard that TWRP has some mounting issues, and your phone won't boot afterwards
2. Flash it the same way you flashed the CF-AutoRoot package and the Philz package
Step 4: Flashing a custom ROM
Before we flash, it's important that you consider your options. If you like performance, I'd recommend any Lite ROMs like: WanamLite and XtreStoLite. If you like to customize your device, I'd recommend OZOP, Griffin or CarHD. If you're a battery freak, try these: TN (Search on YanDisk) or Alexis.
1. Download the desired zip, also look if there's a second package, they'll often have these names in them: Update, Add-On, Aroma Add-On
2. Put the zip, or two zips in your Download folder in your Internal Storage
3. Power off your phone and boot in the recovery mode, do this by: Pressing Power + Home + Vol Up keys at the same time
4. When you're in the recovery mode, mount these partitions: Data, Cache, System
NOTICE! Don't mount the Internal Storage, or you'll erase your photos, downloads etc.
5. Select the option Clean to Install a new ROM
6. After that, locate your ROM, persumably in your Download folder, and select to install it
7. If nothing happens and you get a buttload of text displayed, that means your ROM is installing
8. If a graphical setup launches, that means the dev has considered to give you some options, choose wise
9. After the flash don't restart the phone if it prompts you
10. Wipe Cache and Dalvik/ART Cache, otherwise you might cause your phone to be in a softbrick state
I have a doubt, I always see G920F written in some things, but my device is G920I. Is there any problem I use anyway?

A few days ago I decided that I wanted to root my Xoom, so I went by a guide on how to do it. ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1249798 )
I got into the bootloader, flashed on a new recovery, etc. Got the new kernal installed, so I reset my Xoom thinking I was done. Right now, it's stuck on the Motorola screen. Bring up the boot menu and try the recovery, it doesn't work. Tried the fastboot option, computer doesn't detect it. However, on the RSD mode, I did have some action with the computer. I'm not sure if it's a drivers issue, if the Xoom hates me... or what. :/
Anyone got any input on this?
I've done the following:
Used a different USB Cable
Used USBDeview to remove the drivers manually
Reset the Xoom using Vol up+Button on back
Ragequit, multiple times
Gone into Recovery, which led me to a Reading ODM Fuse: 1 screen where it stays
Tried the fastboot multiple times to no avail
Posted on xoomforums about this, no final answer.

Sounds like your relocked your bootloader, or you don't have a system image installed.
Start over from scratch - I used it to Root my Wifi Only Xoom and
my 4G LTE Xoom with no problems. Only took about 10mins - use this method:
Universal Xoom Root
Thats right, this method will work for any xoom on any update - Including future updates!!!
Note: Unlike the similar method floating around on here, this also gives you an unsecured boot image.
-- Please Note: this thread is still a work in process and has been sped up by the arrival of the 4g Xooms --
Current requirements: adb & fastboot have been setup and you have an external sdcard for your xoom.
1. Setting up adb & fastboot
Coming Soon! (If you want to write this section for me and pm me it, thats fine !)
2. Downloading the rooting-update zip file.
Download the zip file from here.
Now place this on your external sdcard. - Sorry this is a requirement at the moment, like I said this is a bit rushed.
3. Flashing recovery
1. Download this Recovery image. (put this image in the same folder that holds the adb.exe most likely tools or platform tools folder.)
2. If your device is locked, now is a good time to unlock it.
To UNLOCK -
Code:
adb reboot bootloaderfastboot oem unlockfastboot reboot
3. Flash recovery
Code:
adb reboot bootloaderfastboot flash recovery recovery-Tiamat-R4c-100611-1150-cwm.img
Once you have verification on your device that this has been flashed, reboot your device by holding volume up + power.
Then 3 seconds after you see the Motorola logo, hit volume down. You should now see "Android Recovery" in the top left corner. Hit volume up to boot into recovery.
4. Flashing the Xoom-Universal-Root.zip file.
If you're in clockwork mod recovery you can continue (This recovery image will say it is clockwork mod) . If you're not looking at clockwork mod, then you need to repeat step 3 again.
In cwm, go into "install zip from sdcard" -> "Choose zip from sdcard", then select the Xoom-Universal-Root.zip file you downloaded.
Note: use the volume buttons to navigate and the power button to select
Reboot your device and then welcome to your rooted device!
Now reboot into recover and flash a new ROM of your choice - I like this one:
[ROM][ICS] Team Eos ICS 1.0.0
Flash ROM then, do not reboot yet. Flash GApps right after ROM Flash then reboot!
Welcome to your rooted device!

Universal Xoom root - version 1.0
Hi, I have just bought the STAR N9770 - 5.08 inch MTK6577 . I am relativly pleased with it but love to install cwm and root, but to be honest I'm a little confused as to what files I need.
I am not new to flasing rom/cwm/rooting but have always had HTC phones.
Can someone please help me with what files I need and where to get them and how to do it, I realise this is a lot to ask but I don't want to screw it up.
This is my phone, it running jb 4.1, this was how it came.

Root help

Do you have a recovery there? Maybe try making a backup and flashing a root binary from a different device (galaxy for instance). I heard it sometimes works and if not you have a backup.
BTW - How is this device? Seems solid?

It says:
Not ALL images are correctly loaded, which may cause boot up issue!
Do you still want to go on downloading anyway?
Any ideas what to do from here?

Thanks for the offer. I've sent the phone back
3G didn't work at all. I'll wait until the next one arrives and start the process again.

CWM Recovery & Root
I have successfully flashed a CWM recovery and root script on this phone. Everything works. Here's how its done:
Here is the "About" under settings on the phone that i have done this on:
First Download This:
http://www.mediafire.com/?eq9b28ua89wh8d1
This RAR Archive contains everything needed.
MAKE SURE YOUR PHONE IS ON JELLYBEAN. [4.1]
1: Installing CWM Recovery
Extract the downloaded zip and run the flash tool. (Flash_tool.exe)
In the flash tool, click where it says "scatter-loading", and browse for "MT6577_Android_scatter_emmc.txt" [It is in the: \CWM_recovery_4.1\recovery folder that was included in the downloaded archive]
Now, before flashing, MAKE SURE "RECOVERY" is the only thing ticked in the list of things to flash.
(Mine had two things ticked by default, just make sure the only thing that is ticked is the recovery.)
When the scatter file is loaded and only recovery is ticked, make sure your phone is off and the battery is out. Also make sure it is unplugged from the computer.
Now in the flash tool, click the download button at the top.
*Note: If you get: "Not ALL images are correctly loaded, which may cause boot up issue!
Do you still want to go on downloading anyway?", Just click "Yes"
Plug in your phone with the battery out and wait for it to finish flashing. If the flash tool doesnt detect the phone, it means the drivers probably aren't installed. install the drivers [included in download (MT6575_USB_VCOM_drivers)] and wait for it to finish flashing
When it flashes, you will get a popup window with a circle, showing that it has completed. you can now unplug your phone.
CWM recovery is now installed on the phone. Time to root!
2: Rooting VIA CWM Recovery
Copy the "CWM-SuperSU-v0.93_tirannozaurus.zip" to your phone's SD card.
Boot the phone into recovery. [hold volume+ and power while the phone is off]
Choose "Install zip from sd card" [using volume and power buttons] and navigate to "CWM-SuperSU-v0.93_tirannozaurus.zip"
Flash it, and then reboot the phone. You should now have root:
If you follow all of this properly in order, this should work! i am not responsible for anyone bricking their phone. Doing this is all on you.
*NOTE*
If your play store is not working [If it says there is no connection], Goto your phone's settings and set your date and time. This fixed it for me.
Also, credit to the original authors of the files. I have simply taken the required files and archived them for your convenience.
Hi, I'm not fairly new to this forum but I silent read from a long time ago and now I decided to share something I found.
Let's say you're tired with rooting and xposed as some apps refuses to run upon detection of either or both of those, and custom ROMs out there didn't float your boat, you decided to return to the stock. No recoveries, just a plain stock. But you need that SystemUI with netmeter, or you're too lazy to re-log in 6 different Twitter accounts onto the Twitter app you've previously backed up using TitaniumBackup or similar.
Without any words let me start:
What you need:
Obviously an unlocked bootloader since we will flash a recovery, and locked ones can't do so.
Any custom recovery, either CWM or TWRP that's fine. Don't worry about its compatibility with the stock, as it'll be wiped again (if you want)
Flashtool, it already includes fastboot for flashing stuffs, otherwise why is this called Flashtool?
Your current FTF file
OPTIONAL : AromaFM if your mods isn't a flashable zip
For TWRP you can also use its built-in file manager
Steps:
Download and set up Flashtool
After installation there will be some folders like this:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Install the drivers located in the Drivers folder, place your current firmware's FTF file to the firmwares folder, and for convenience, place your recovery in the x10flasher_lib folder, and rename it to something short and easy, like rec.img or similar.
Put your mods in the phone's storage/sdcard (and also your aromafm if you choose to use it).
Turn off your phone.
Open up Command Prompt (or console window of your choice, if you're not on Windows), and navigate to the flashtool/x10flasher_lib folder.
Run this on your console:
Code:
fastboot flash boot rec.img
change rec.img to your recovery's filename.
Plug in your phone with a USB cable while holding volume + button.
When done, plug it out and boot to your recovery by powering it on and pressing volume - button when the illumination bar lights up (depends on your recovery).
Apply your mods (flash mods, replace system files, remove bloatware etc.).
You may skip steps below if you change your mind to having a (compatible) custom recovery
When done turn off your phone again.
Open up your Flashtool, if asked for admin rights just say yes.
Click the bolt icon above the window, leave the Flashmode selected, and click OK
find your firmware, select it but don't flash it yet. Uncheck/check these options, you don't want to wipe your data, right?
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Now press the flash button, located on the bottom-right of the window. When a window pops out (instructions to connect your phone while holding the back button), connect your phone with the Volume - pressed.
Wait the flash to finish, and unplug your phone.
Now you have your mods back and your app datas restored 'without root'~!
NOTE: I've done this on my Xperia E, for other phones I can't yet verify if this method works, so if anyone is interested to try this out go ahead and don't forget to report it back to me whether it's worked or not~

It is safe. I have been using it on my Karbonn Titanium S6. I have also create CTR Touch recovery and TWRP Recovery for Karbonn Titanium S6. I will upload them if anybody needs.
The phone can become bricked for many reasons - It can become bricked if you try to flash wrong pre-loader in SP Flash Tools. So when you use SP Flash Tools, select only Recovery and de-select everything else. Also use only Download Only mode in the SP Flash Tools., other modes can overwrite memory and brick your phone.
pleas help me!!!
