Hi All,
Looking for a suggestion here. I have an MZ604 that has been sitting in my drawer. I eventually want to install a BigPart rom but I'm just getting started here. I've taken the following steps:
1) Unlocked bootloader. This went flawlessly.
2) Installed TWRPv2.8.0.0-Wingray-Non-BigPart on my Xoom. This went flawlessly.
3) Booted into recover and used TWRP to install "vanilla" Xoom-Universal-Root.zip. This also appeared to go flawlessly.
However, various root checker apps tell me I do NOT have root.
Please, any suggestions?
thanks,
Dave

Hi all,
Well and truly a noob to Android heading over from the Apple camp. I tried to root my device using the Pure Root method as below:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1125714
Everything seemed to work fine. I got the update successful confirmations during install. Rebooted, but then when I went back into the OS SuperUser was missing. Installed this from the Marketplace then installed Titanium BackUp to test it but it tells me the device is NOT rooted.
I downloaded the software from ASUS, installed drivers and followed the instructions to the letter.
Where could of I gone wrong?
Also, is there a mac rooting version? I'm at work today and my machine is a mac and really want to get Order & Chaos Online up and running *friggn Gameloft*
So I "successfully" rooted my Nook Tablet as per Indirect's instructions, but the NookandZergy batch did not give me any options to install any apps and my tablet basically performs exactly the same as before. When I run NookandZergy again, it says it's already been rooted, tries to do more, and tells me that I don't have the adb hijack followed by a prompt to block OTA's. It was pain in my rear just to get it to root in the first place and it seems to be all for naught and I don't want to have to re-root. Haven't found anyone else with this issue.
It was 1.4.0 and I followed and double-checked this process meticulously. May try to re-root anyway, but I expect much of the same.
I previously side-loaded Amazon App store, Go Launcher and a few other apps before the root if that could be an issue.
Solved?
So I un-rooted/factory-restored my Nook Tablet and re-rooted, this time with the wi-fi turned off and everything did as it was supposed to. I am gladly using my rooted tablet now. If anyone else has any issues, I believe I can help, so ask away.
Model xt912 Razr Maxx "verizon"
I used "razr_blade_zip" to root phone. Followed instructions and worked fine. Then installed "safestrap" 3.65. Then went to recovery mode and created a back-up. Then installed cm11-20131126 unofficial-spyder and google app package. I installed cm 11 on slot 1. Rebooted and everything worked well. I did notice cell signal was low. After I installed a few basic rooted apps to increase network speed like "example Faster Gps". Still so far so good. Here is when things went wrong. After reading about SuperSu I decided to install it and missed a step. I ended up unrooting my in phone. I can't use Safestrap to install back-up. I'm not sure what a hard reset will do. I have googled issue but no real answer on fixing this. Thanks for any help!!!!!

*** note i have figured out all issues on my own, trying to figure out how to delete this thread****
I have a TMOB Note 3 that I recently upgraded to OEM Lollipop. I had a couple of issues so decided to take the plunge and just upgrade further to an unsupported 5.1.1 ROM. I took nandroid and Titanium backups and stored them away on my PC.
Here's where I started getting into trouble. First I wiped everything, then realized I didn't have CWB installed.
So I tried to install CWB using Odin and n9005-cwm-recovery-6.0.4.7-kk(0125).tar. This worked but it didn't also provide me root. CWB prompted me if I wanted to root when it rebooted, but SuperSU says I am not rooted. Once I install CWB, I can no longer boot into recovery mode either with the key combo.
In this process I also lost my carrier unlock.
1. How do I obtain root after using Odin to install CWB? - solved
2. Why can't I boot into recovery mode with the three key combo after CWB has been installed - sort of solved, using ROM Toolbox
3. Can someone point me to a thread on how to carrier unlock the TMOB Note 3? There was a software unlock for it that I used 3 years ago but I can't find that thread (and not sure if it's OS specific at all, ie, if it will still work with Lollipop once I find it)
I'm continuing to work on these problems, but wanted to get this post out in case I'm still stumped by the time someone with an answer sees it. Thanks!
