AT&T fusion android 2.3.4 root

Hey can anyone help me root my android 2.3.4? I have a att fusion that I'm trying to root and I don't know if there is a way to. Just thought I'd come here and get a straight answer.
Sent from my XDA App

me too
hope someone has a way. I've been trying for three days to root this phone and nothing works so far. Not sure if [email protected] has done anything or not to prevent rooting.

Step 1. http://androidforums.com/huawei-son...nmod-7-2-zad-rom-v-1-5huawei-u8650-sonic.html
Download and unzip the "Drivers Huawei (adb drivers)" to your desktop and install the drivers. Also download and unzip the "Custom CM Recovery" to your desktop as you will need it later.
Step 2. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1321582
Create a folder named DooMLoRD-v4 on your desktop and Download DooMLoRD_v4_ROOT-zergRush-busybox-su.zip and unzip it to that folder.
Put your phone into USB debugging mode and run the "runme" batch file in the DooMLoRD-v4 folder on your desktop. When done your phone should be rooted.
Step 3. Open the Custom CM Recovery folder and run the "Instalador" batch file
you now should have a rooted AT&T Fusion with ClockworkMod Recovery installed on it.
Step 4. http://androidforums.com/huawei-son...nmod-7-2-zad-rom-v-1-5huawei-u8650-sonic.html
Scroll down and you will find two custom roms that you can download and install on your phone with CM Recovery. Before you install open up the "system" folder and open the build.prop file in notepad once opened go to edit and in the drop down you should see a replace option. Replace "u8650" with "u8652" so that in your info your phone will have the right model number and save it.

Thanks!

New links please
Links not working anymore, any mirrors?

Got all the files still cannot ROOT this damn thing, Tried Using Z4root wont work, Tried Using SuperOneClick, it Hangs on the #7 Process waiting for the Phone then I tried Using DoomLord V4 and it gets pretty far but shows that the Internal program memory is non-rewritable so im starting to guess "NO ROOT" is this possible?

Try and download the newest version of superuser and make a root file on the sd card. After that superuser is downloaded, put the file into the root file and wait for it to transfer, then when thats finished power off the phone and put it into recovery mode and apply update from SD card and choose zip file. Choose the superuser update and let it go through the process. Once its finished reboot device and you have root. Now all you have to do is flash a custom recovery on it and load a rom.
Let me know how it works!

oh nvm fixed it! after fiddeling with my phone, I finally fixed it... TY ANYWAY

Has anyone tried this root process with the fusion 2? If it doesn't work is there another way to root the fusion 2? Thanks.

had same problem...this will fix it
First thing that you want to do is root your phone. I have done this twice with this method and it has worked great both times.
1) ROOTING YOUR FUSION:
This is the method that worked for me. It was already stated in another thread on this forum:
QUOTE from : charliedrums....
"Here is what I did: (this tutorial was done by sd_james over at xda developers)
1. You need to install the latest Android SDK (search google for latest version)
2. download SuperOneClick v2.3.3
3. Follow the instructions and make sure that you have set your Settings > Development > USB Debugging box checked. I also set Unknown sources checkbox on.
4. Type in the following code on the phone keypad
*#*# 2846579 #*#*
This will open up the Service Mode
Go to Project Menu > Background Settings > Log Settings
Turn on Log Switch and set Log Level Settings to Verbose
go back one screen
Go to Dump and Log and place a check in all log settings.
Reboot the phone
After reboot use superoneclick2.3.3
In superoneclick on the general tab click the root button and wait for it.
This is what worked for me.""
2) After your root, you want to install the Clockwork mod for this phone. (To do the back up for your rom and also install this will enable you to install custom Roms for this phone.)

This method doesn't work on my old Consumer Cellular AT&T Huawei U8652, just hangs at Step #7 "Waiting for device"

Complete Root for G935P

THIS IS FOR QUALCOMM SM-G935P
I saw that the original root thread was missing a few information on the first and second post, so I decided to still offer the same information, while making the entire root process easy to follow along. All work goes to those at the Samsung G935P Root Forum and @colormedroid .
The Files Needed Are:
Odin by Princecosmy: ODIN
G935A: Galaxy S7 Edge
SuperSU: SuperSU Root
Minimal ADB and Fastboot: XDA Forums
You will also need Package Disabler Pro for Samsung: Package Disabler Pro (Samsung) $0.99
I know it costs money, but it is worth it, especially on future devices that support Samsung Admin while waiting for root.
Make sure all files above are downloaded and ready to be accessed.
These steps are best done on a factory reset (can be found in FAQ #3) on PF2 update.
Step By Step Instructions
1. After downloading Package Disabler Pro and getting it set up, you'll need to disable three packages: samsung dm phone interface, samsung dm service, and securityLogAgent.
2. Turn off your phone and boot into Download/Bootloader mode by pressing and holding the Vol Down+Home+Power after your phone is off.
3. Plug Phone into Flash the G935A.TAR in ODIN under AP and your device should restart by itself.
4. Your phone should boot straight into Android. Most likely you will have no LTE. Do not worry, that is normal. Continue onto step 5.
5. Copy the files from SuperSU to the location of your Minimal ADB and Fastboot folder on the computer (Default is "C:\Program Files (x86)\Minimal ADB and Fastboot")then after you enable USB debugging in the Developer Options menu on your phone (If you don't have Developer Options in Settings, go to About Phone, and tap on Build Number 7 Times), Run the Root.Bat file from your Minimal ADB and Fastboot Folder.
6. Open Build.Prop with BuildProp Editor and change the following settings
ro.cdma.default_numeric=310000
Change the value to 310120
ro.cdma.default_alpha=Chameleon
Change "Chameleon" to Sprint
Edit*ro.build.characteristics=Chameleon
Change "Chameleon" to Sprint
After a reboot, you should be good to go and have LTE.
Any other questions, feel free to post to the thread and myself and other helpful members of the community can help!
FAQ
1. Download and install BusyBox on Rails and get it set up. After that's set up, open up SuperSU, go to settings, and under Security check Enable SU during boot. Next, download Kernel Toolkit and under CPU set the Big Cores Maximum Frequency to 2150 Mhz. Don't forget to apply to boot from the side menu.
2. I'm stuck on the LTE splash screen. What do I do?
A: Press and hold the Volume Down + Power button down until your phone restarts. You may have to Factory Reset your device if it stays stuck on the splash screen. Get the files from FAQ #3 to successfully reset. If you wish to Re-Root, activate device beforehand by doing the Device Setup or by going into Settings - Activate Device. After Activated, follow the step by step guide.
3. I'd like to unroot and return to factory stock. How would I go about this?
A: Download the factory firmware from HERE and extract the file. Once Extracted, open ODIN and load each file in their appropriate space (BL file to BL, AP file to AP, CP file to CP, and CSC file to CSC). Make sure your phone is in download/bootloader mode by holding the Vol Down+Home+Power after the phone is off. Click Start once in download/bootloader mode and you should be back to stock once your phone reboots.
4. My WiFi credentials keep on getting erased after a reboot. What gives?
A: This seems to be an issue across all the QC S7 variants. Here's what I did to fix it. Use BuildProp Editor and change: ro.securestorage.support=true to ro.securestorage.support=false
Once the edit is saved correctly, restart your phone.
Credit goes out to: @guaneet for this fix
More answers to FAQ's to come.

Thanks, this guide is a bit clearer for beginners like me
EDIT: I can't seem to find the Minimal ADB and Fastboot Folder, where is it? (solved)
EDIT2: Where do I find the root.bat file in my phone? (solved, I had to run it from the computer not the phone)

This doesn't trip Knox right? So if I root and decide to go back stock, Samsung pay should work right?

Correct. It requires to be on unchanged software. When going on complete factory reset using ODIN, it reverts any and all software changes made.

That changing the thing to sprint an the numbers to 310120 does not work for me when i do that i get no data wel 3g an it comes in an out then goes to roaming..an i cant change apns an there r no sprint apns as well...not sure if anyone els is having that

Did you let the phone set up once before rooting? Did you also go into mobile networks and change roaming settings to home only?
Edit: The setup to bring your phone to Sprint did work because Sprint does not allow (unless with MSL) editing of APNs. I also made an edit that changes ro.build.characteristics=Chameleon in Build.Prop to ro.build.characteristics=Sprint. Hopefully that helps as well.

So let me throw out some errors that happened with me with the solvencies so no one has to feel like an idiot like me...
1. If Odin throws an error on your pit it will look like its good to go. It is not. Let your phone setup and then reodin
2. After initializing the 3 you disabled, go to settings, activate device. Let it activate but do NOT press done or ok or restart or a winky face emoticon or anything... But the home button and disable that same three again. Reboot. If your device keeps trying to be crazy, pick yourself up and try again.
3. For the bad file... Enable USB debugging, install the and drivers and the such then... Plug your phone into your computer and agree to the popup on your phone. After you agree (You have to be down with MTP, you know me) run the bad file on your computer. It'll say stuff and take a couple of minutes. Let it run. After reboot, reboot again. Root achieved.
Thanks so much for your clarification OP, I would've loved to use this post when I did mine lol
NOTE: Your mileage may vary... I did the buildprop change from Chameleon and the 31000 change and it negated my service. I went and changed it back, restarted, re-enabled the 3, activated the device, homed out, re-disabled the 3 and restarted. My LTE is back up and running

4. My WiFi credentials keep on getting erased after a reboot. What gives?
A: This seems to be an issue across all the QC S7 variants. Here's what I did to fix it. Use BuildProp Editor and change: ro.securestorage.support=true to ro.securestorage.support=false
Even after making these changes and verifying, my WiFi credentials and still being erased.

Verify your edit stuck. Make sure there is not any extra "space" in line or end of that line. Reboot.

why can i not update su? without updating i cannot use buildprop editor... i even tried downgrading from pf2 to pe1.... no luck. phone also says custom on boot.

Are there still issues with lag and battery drain after root?

Updating supersu has had mixed results. Some have no problem, but it has been suggested by chainfire himself to not update it.

If you follow the Kernal Auditor step, it helps with the lag and battery drain. It is because the phone is in performance mode first upon root, and so the phone throttles on heat. Setting it to Interactive brings down heat and ultimately lag and brings back battery life.

Are you on the Qualcomm or Exynos device? Are you sure you're G935P? I ask to try again one more time and make sure SU is installed on your phone. It may take a while for the prompt to open as well, but give it time.

Just to clarify, and I apologize for my ignorance..
When you say "helps" with battery drain and lag, does that mean it fixes the issue and it preforms at "stock", or does that mean its better then doing nothing but still more lag and battery/heat the unrooted stock ?

OnionRoot for S7/Edge T-Mobile Released. EARLY RELEASE FOR TESTERS!

Alright. So here it is. OnionRoot. ver 1.0.0
How does it work?
Same as default root with modifications of fixing the lag after you root.
This is early and it takes about a minute after you boot for OnionRoot (app) to fix the lag. DON'T WORRY, I am still trying to find a way to run the onion_root.sh script when the device is booting. It will be updated to fix this but it does what it is so far intended to do, remove lag.
Steps?
RECOMMENDED! Restore to stock firmware AP,CP,CSC,BL! Android 6.0.1
1. Put device into download mode
2. Flash Samsung_G935x_QC_Rooted_BOOT with Odin PrinceComsy.exe in AP
3. You device will lag like aids, I know. This is due to the fact that you flashed a version of the boot for samsung engineers. Go to settings and enable developers options and enable USB debuggging. You should know this by now.
4. Open your device. It should be at the homescreen. Now run part1_rooting.bat
5. Your device should be rebooting. After its done, open it and go to the homescreen again and run part2_after_rooted.bat
6. After running part2_after_rooted.bat your device will reboot again. It will install busy box for you and onionroot. Open busybox first and grant SU access. wait for all packages to download and install to /system/xbin
7. Open OnionRoot and tap manually lag out. This will ask you for root access, grant SU access. Tap it again just to be sure it ran the CPU governor script and give it about 30 seconds. Manually lag out doesnt lag your device, I know how it sounds, it actually switches your CPU governor to ondemand in order to make it run better without lagging like crap.
Now you should be good to go! Every time you reboot your device, OnionRoot will take a minute to execute the script to remove lag without having you to do anything! I am working on a MUCH better way of executing the script. I need to find out a way to execute the onion_root.sh script before the device boots up completely. If you have any ideas, let me know! Any suggestions on what to add, I am reading and listening. I am always looking for better ways to improve this root tool and make it fix performance without downloading so many apps and running them to make sure your device runs smoothly and not kill your battery.
P.S. I am open to ANY suggestions to make this better, we can make this open source too if you'd like
(edit) Should I also add a little fix to remove the notification pop up that says : "Security notice" Unauthorized actions have been detected blah blah ?
Thank you.

I'm all for development, but why make another thread when you have one other one about this tool?

Thanks, I performed all of your steps and it works well for me. I needed to perform a clean wipe, so I'm glad you posted this at the right time. The only issue now is to make OnionRoot autmatically start after boot up.

S7 SM-G930T Root Deleting Apps on Restart
Hi SilentJoe,
I had a rooted Samsung S7 that worked perfectly until I restart or power cycle. When I restart it will come back showing several user installed apps as "not installed" but with the icons still there. Then the power cycle started deleting the Google app and Play Store app. I ended up having to reload stock rom and reset and am trying to determine if there is a stable root available for the SM-G930T? Let me know if you are having any luck with your method listed in this post?
Here's My Config:
Phone - Samsung T-Mobile S7 SM-G930T
Baseband - G930TUVU3APG1
Android - 6.0.1
Root Used - Samsung_G930x_QC_Rooted_BOOT.TAR
Root Patches - S7_or_S7Edge_Fixes_V15.zip (MD5 hash F15CD9BDC35382A8F48FFBEDBB1BCDF0)
SperSu - V.2.79
Any feedback would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance for all of your efforts!

OnionRoot does start to run its script at start up, but it doesn't do it while booting. It activates the script after your device has completed booted. Try it, boot you device (if you rooted with OnionRoot) and youll see a toast message popup saying "Lagged Out". This means it removed the lag and should make your device run smoothly. I am working on ideas how to make the script run while the device is in booting stages and completely remove lag due to the flash with odin of eng_boot.tar. Thanks.

I think I will try to fix the ENGBOOT.tar kernel files so the device doesn't lag that much and drain the battery or might just move on to trying to figure out a possibility of unlocking bootloader which is highly unlikely.

What do you mean? Its possible but useless you'd still need to flash ENGBOOT.tar with pc on odin

Easy install. Snappy so far.

Is it okay to update SuperSU via playstore?

Something that may work is creating a /system/su.d folder and placing the script in with 7xx permissions.

In my experience Sprint devices don't typically get much love. I've considered building a rom for the G935P but I haven't touched that stuff since the LG G2 was a new phone, so I'm a wee bit behind on the curve. I'll check this out though.

This Needs To Be Tested So I Started This Thread to See If We Can Get Something Going For Sprint Users I Do Not Have A Sprint Phone So I Have No Way To Test This

Man I admire your work. With your help I have already created a method for Sprint SM-G935U QD2. I'm always willing to be a beta tester if you feel I'm worthy. I would like this thread but I reached my quota lol. I'm going to test this method out as well and post results.
I was on P rooted, wiped cache 3 times, factory wiped data, reboot to bootloader.
In AP i flashed U firmware [BP, AP, CL, CSC] and let it install and run setup. (If you think you're in a boot loop its probably not true because it takes 5-10 mins to reach any setup screen, so wait it out.)
LTE activated, restarted phone, and then i applied Gmail Account. Skip Samsung Account.
After reaching home screen I went to turn on developer options>OEM unlock>usb debugging. TURN OFF verify apps via usb and auto update system.
Turned off Software updates automatically, then clicked manual updates and registered device. Clicked again and let update search.
Auto-updated Security policy in Lock Screen & security. Make sure automatic isn't enabled.
Turn auto update in Google Play Store off.
Close All Recent Apps.
Power Off.
Power On into Download Mode.
Run ODIN Again and insert:
S7edge_Qualcomm.tar into AP. Start flash.
Once reaching home screen, immediately run Command prompt as administrator and redirect folder to:
Nougat_S7_UFitrm_Root_2_79
Type root.bat and then type enter. [Don't run root_with_tweaks.bat]
Device will reboot and don't press any key like it asks you until you reach home page, and device connects to PC by Auto-Run/Opening folder.
When Drive is listed in PC then press enter and SuperSU+Flashfire will install then do a long reboot. 5 mins.
Once at home screen, you will see it is Samsung as carrier. SMS/VOICE should work. MMS/DATA NO.
But we will fix it by going to:
Settings>Mobile Networks>Access Point Names
Delete Wholsales OTA apn by selecting, clicking top right menu, and delete.
Now the Global Roaming APN... select it.
Change the whole APN to:
Name:APN2 LTE Internet
APN:n.ispsn
MMSC:http://www.mms.sprintpcs.com
Multimedia message proxy
68.28.31.7
Multimedia message port:
80
MCC
310
MNC
000 // Do Not CHANGE!
APN type
default,supl,mms,dun,fota
APN Protocol
IPv4/IPv6
APN roaming protocol
IPv4/IPv6
Bearer
LTE,
Top right menu>SAVE! Make sure APN2 LTE Internet is enabled and by the dot being blue. LTE should display icon and reset device to verify it stuck.
Flash LTE Icon FIx with FlashFire which is in App Drawer.
Nougat_S7_Edge_EngBoot.tar.md5 works as well.

They are md5 tar files if they are bad they will fail check by Odin. I'm not sure why you are trying to extract them but 7zip will extract them

Im kinda seeing why there is no development in Sprint forum. Can't get anybody to try anything. The status is the SprintTest rom boots a custom rom with stock boot.img which means this could work just like Verizon does with working samsung pay etc I just need to get data working. I only have one person willing to try stuff. If there is no interest in this rom I will probably close the thread. Im uploading a new Ufirm and a new SprintTest rom but like I said If no interest then I will go back to my world and close the thread
Here is the SprintTest3 Rom Need Testers for this
Need to Be On Stock Sprint Rooted Rom
Here give this a try this is sprint files with Ufirm AP file which I assume you have or use the one from the OP
download this
Sprint_Test3.zip
copy it and the Ufirm AP file to phone. In flashfire add zip mount system when it ask
Add firmware choose AP file. Only select system partition not the other 3.
Flash do full wipe in aroma let me know
Also updated Ufirm in OP to V8 It needs tested. There will be no more updates until there is some interest in this method.

If you could give the SprintTest3 a try I know it boots I switched some CSC stuff and removed a couple of apps so maybe it will connect to network. If it doesnt maybe we can try some things

I am currently on your method [slightly twisted] with 4G enabled. Data but no voice/sms...working on it.
I chose S8 all the way which was probably a mistake.
The installer is quite intriguing.
Remove about everything debloat.
But SuperSU is working fine. Going to start over but it definitely holds a root+data.
Anyways ill keep you posted and Good Job. Thanks.

I will change CSC code to XAS this should allow editing of APNs. I will reupload
The whole point of this rom is not to root the rom If the rom booted it means you have a custom rom running with stock boot.img which should not be possible. Its like the Verizon version if your not rooted you can still use samsung pay snapchat etc and any other safetynet checking apps

Of course, I started over because i was tweaking stuff and my SuperSu got disabled. I'm having a hard time repeating it but ill manage it. Its pissing me off because I've been trying different ways to gain sms/voice but my SuperSu broke and binary needed updating which caused any service to be canceled. This left me with no bars and the do not disturb icon for signal. Because some of the steps don't work like they do for Verizon, a lot of of your files needed to be switched around and flashed multiple times. I had to improvise. but once i secure this process... probably today, I'll type it up if you'd like, or head on to your next plan.

How to root SM-J337P? Android 9

I have been searching the internet for days now and I haven't found a single way to root samsung SM-J337P Android 9 I hope to have some feedback on this site

Ive been looking to do the same for the last couple of months now & haven't had a bit of luck finding anythng or having any tried methods turn out successful

Root is fairly simple using Magisk pre patched method.
As for TWRP. Seems no one has bothered yet.
If there is a warrant for it I'll look into it, but I don't have as much enthusiasm nowadays as there seems to be a hit and run nature now on XDA.
I can't even get any feedback half the time.

tell me about it man. they even let me be a mod!! they must be hard up!! I had better button my lip, dont want any senior mods to think im attempting a mutiny LOLOLOL
it used to be back in the day that people would just accomplish stuff that the mfg said was impossible just to piss them off. Not because they wanted to do anything nefarious with the new found ability, just to poke a stick in their eyes! Man, i miss the OG Evo 4G days
@Androidhelper77 @poppas210 sorry, didnt mean to threadjack, but the root method is available, it just takes some reading of the threads to get there

Thank u

This is probably obvious, but what do you mean by "pre patched method?"
EDIT: Nevermind, I figured out what you mean.

Ok, for anyone else who stumbles accross this thread, here's the steps:
Prerequisites:
- Samsung USB Drivers
- Patched Odin flashing tool. v. 1.13 or later. (Mine is v3.13.1_3B_PatcheD) (You might not need the patched one. It's just what I happened to use.) You do indeed need the patched one.
- Stock firmware img (To find version: Settings > About phone > Software version)
1. Activate developer mode.
- Settings > About Phone > Software Information
- Click "Build Number" repeatedly until it says "Congratulations! You are a developer!"
2. Enable USB Debugging and authorize computer.
- Settings > Developer Options > USB Debugging
3. Disable screen lock: Settings > Lock Screen > Screen lock type > None
4. Remove any Google or Samsung accounts: Settings > Accounts and backup > Accounts
5. Unlock boot loader WARNING: THIS WILL ERASE YOUR DEVICE
- Settings > Developer Options > OEM Unlocking
6. Copy the stock farmware img to your phone. You want the file that starts with "AP"
7. Install Magisk Manager by going to the magisk manager website on your phone and hitting "Download Magisk Manager" button and installing the app. The first time you open it, it will need to do additional setup and reboot your device.
8. Open Magisk Manager and select "Install" next to "Magisk." Click Install again, and then click "Select and Patch a File"
9. Select the firmware img you just copied to the phone.
10. Wait for process to complete. (Writing: system.img.lz4 takes a minute)
11. When Magisk Manager says "All done!" close it.
12. Copy the file called "magisk_patched.tar" from your phone to your computer. It should be found in your phone's internal memory "Download" folder.
13. Turn off the phone
14. Open Odin on PC
15. Boot phone into Odin mode: With the phone powered off, press and hold Vol-, Home, and Power until the blue warning screen appears, and then press Vol+ to enter Odin mode.
16. Your phone should appear in Odin on your PC
17. Click the AP button and select the "magisk_patched.tar" file.
18. Click "Start" and then DON'T TOUCH ANYTHING!
19. When the process is complete, a boc in Odin should say "PASS!" and be green. Your phone will reboot. (It will take longer than normal.)
20. Close Odin
21. Initial phone setup. Blah blah...
22. After initial setup, you may get a notification on your phone warning you of unauthorized changes. (Duh.) Just select it and hit cancel.
23. Install Magisk Manager on your phone again (repeat step 6)
24. After a reboot, open Magisk Manager again and it should say "Magisk is up to date."
You are done! Enjoy root access!

You're going to want the file that starts with 'AP'. It should be the biggest one. (Mine is about 2.5 GB)

No, I don't think you need to extract anything from it. Just remove the .md5 extension, and Magisk should be able to patch it.
For example, my file is named "AP_J337PVPS4BSI5_CL16191886_QB26045544_REV00_user_low_ship_meta_OS9.tar.md5" so I will remove the .md5 ext leaving me with "AP_J337PVPS4BSI5_CL16191886_QB26045544_REV00_user_low_ship_meta_OS9.tar" which is copied to the phone.

Yea mon thanks again. So my reason to root is wanting to unlock my sim lock device, am outside US. But even after rooting it still not unlock using the software magic thunder which say it unlock it but still not seeing that it is unlock when I put in another sim, just showing invalid sim. so am stuck again. magic thunder was asking for root permission and not that its root am still unable to unlock it. Just wondering if you have any ideas or knowledge on this unlocking this device.

It sounds like what you're looking for is a "carrier unlock," but I don't know anything about doing that. Good luck.

The Best explanation / instructional video I've found so far is: h ttps://youtu.be/BOfv0F12gSI
But, TWRP does not have FW for j3topeltespr. And firmwar.mobi misidentified phone as galaxy j7 2016.
Two and a half days of reading and tubing and have better understanding but not much progress.
