Introducing.... Superboot!
Superboot is a boot.img that when booted, will root your device the first time you boot (installing su and the superuser APK). No need to flash any partitions, no need to mess around with ADB, no messing with the contents of your data partition, no overwriting the shipped ROM on your device, just boot the boot image using the instructions below and you're done!
You will need to htcdev bootloader unlock your device to use this root solution.
APPLY THIS AT YOUR OWN RISK!
Superboot - DOWNLOAD
The superboot image is also 'insecure', allowing you to use 'adb remount' as well as having full ADB root access to your device until such time as you reboot after running this process (it's a non permanent ADB root as it's a 'fastboot boot' and not a 'fastboot flash' but it IS a permanent root in all other regards!).
How to use Superboot - Windows, Linux and OSX
- Download the Superboot zip file above and extract to a directory
- Put your device in bootloader mode - Turn off the phone then turn on with the 'volume down' button pressed to enter the bootloader, then pressing the power button again to enter fastboot.
- WINDOWS - double click 'install-superboot-windows.bat'
- MAC - Open a terminal window to the directory containing the files, and type 'chmod +x install-superboot-mac.sh' followed by './install-superboot-mac.sh'
- LINUX - Open a terminal window to the directory containing the files, and type 'chmod +x install-superboot-linux.sh' followed by './install-superboot-linux.sh'
Enjoy!

Hi @All,
I got a problem, cause I rootet my One X with pauls great stuff...
So I wanted to do the same thing with my One S and didnt change superboot with the file r3 superbootandroot, so something happened with my OneS.....it doesnt start and shows me Warning "this is only for blabla" in red....so I went to bootloader, did it right with the right file, and goes till now, cause doing a restart, it shows me only this warning again....I always have to go to bootloader, to start my device right..what can I do?
And in Bootloadermode, the first word is tampered...I know what that means and is there a chance to change it?
So what did you do exactly? You flashed One X to One S? Whoops!
If you can confirm this is what you've done i'll upload what you need to fix it..
P
Hi Paul, yes, i did a mistake....booting r3 to OneS, not teh right superboot-file...
after that, i bootet it right with superboot, but now "tampered", and everytime i must go to bootloader and boot your file to use my device^^
big thx for Answer!!
I also have this **tampered** line before the **unlocked** line, but no issues with booting - everything fine.
You didnt do my mistake, of course, sure? to boot with a file of an One X to One S, did you?

Nope, just wanted to say that the **tampered** has nothing todo with your fault and current problem..
good to hear...but it wouldnt be normal, to boot this superboot-file everytime I restart my S^^

once you booted with the superboot image, it does the necessary changes on your /system partition for the phone to stay rooted even when you reboot it...

Hi is this method safe etc, anyone tried running apps with root access etc?
only asking as mine is coming next week..
it's as safe as rooting can be and works like described...
Hi
I would like to ask what's the difference between this rooting method compared to the htc official one, especially concerning the warranty part. Is the official htc method a fastboot flash or fastboot boot?
Thanks for this a hundred times.
There is no official rooting method, just official bootloader unlock.
Rooting is what you do afterwards.
And it just refers to being able to su to root. For this 'fastboot flash' is not necessary if the needed files are copied by a 'fastboot boot'ed image.
You could alter the ramdisk in order to create an insecure boot.img though and that needs to be flashed...
Sent from my HTC One S
Will this work on the T-Mo US version?
It should yes..
Good afternoon...I was wondering if it is or will it be possible to root without using HTCDEV ? The reason I'm asking is I'm not sure that I want HTC to know, what if I have to send my phone back for say, a cracked screen or something, will my warranty be voided because I rooted using HTCDEV, they would obviously be aware that I'm rooted...HTC pretty much states that if you root your phone your warranty would be invalid...i've been a long time follower/fan since my G1 days, thanks again Modaco
Thanks in advance for your help and any suggestions that you may have...
Found a great tutorial by Torxx in One S Android development, may be helpful to some...
Thanks again XDA
Hello,
I have also **Tempered** in the top of the bootloader. (HTC One S)
after that I tried to do a factory reset but the only thing it does, the phone reboot and there is no new installation. Clear Storage is the same...
How can I get my phone in the state before flashing with "install-superboot-windows.bat"
Is there an original boot.img that I can flash to restore my phone... ?

Hi everybody,
So, there is my problem, I bought the nexus 5 in November. I rooted it.
And the last wednesday, while using my phone, the power button decided to not respond anymore.
The phone still worked but two days ago the batery became empty and now I can just go in the "bootloader menu" and the "download mode".
Google accepted to replace my phone, but I really want to save my files. And like you certainly know we can't save our files with the phone Off.
But my phone is detected in this two modes.
I installed the nexus driver but I still can't open my files.
I pretty sure there is a way to save my files, I searching and trying but nothing work, I would open my phone if I can activate the power button manually but I don't know how.
If you have any solution, I'll take it.
Per-haps the ADB can help me ? But I don't know how to use it.
Thanks a lot for reading.
Have a good day !
Ps : I'm new here please be gentle if I don't understand directly
And sorry for my poor english.

You can use a fastboot command to boot into recovery: fastboot boot path/to/TWRP.img if you have TWRP Recovery.
Then you will be able use to use adb commands to backup your data.

Hmm, Have I to start eclipse ? Where can I find the "sdk platform" ?
I found a folder who have that name but nothing happens when I run the exe files.
And in eclipse nothing had that name.
Edit : Sorry I did'nt understand before. I'm trying your command in this folder, but it say me that there is no such files in this directory. Could you explain me ?
Edit 2 : Okay I have to read better i guess, I don't have TWRP, I'm downloading it, could you just explain me a little how does it work ?
Edit 3 : With the command "adb devices" I can't see my phone :/ Have I to surrender ?

1. First off, you have to install and set up adb & fastboot on your PC. Here is a great tutorial: http://www.redmondpie.com/how-to-set-up-android-adb-and-fastboot-on-windows-tutorial/
However you can use this tool instead: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2588979
2. To boot into recovery mode from bootloader, connect your phone to PC then enter this command into cmd:
fastboot devices (check if your N5 is connected otherwise)
fastboot boot path/to/TWRP.img (you can download the latest TWRP img from this website)

With the two methods, no devices are found. But when I try with an other phone, nothing is dected too (debug mod enabled).
I tried to remove driver and update with all sources but nothing apparently work per-haps my debug mode is disabled ? ...
Edit :
Okay fastboot device detected my phone !
The guaranty will stop if I use the second command ?
And last thing, where I need to put the img ?
Thanks a lot I looking at the end of that problem *o*

Nope because you only BOOT and not FLASH TWRP.img. Actually I say TWRP because I have this recovery but I think you can use this command with the stock recovery. You just have to use recovery.img file from the factory images instead of TWRP.img.

Did you rename the downloaded file to "TWRP.img"? The file name must be the same into your command prompt.
Copy TWRP.img into your platform-tools folder then open a command prompt from this folder and enter: fastboot boot TWRP.img
The path is the directory of your file you want to use. If you open the command prompt from the folder you have TWRP.img (platform-tools) then you don't need to mention the path.
I think the bootloader needs to be unlocked first for "fastboot boot twrp.img" to work? Isn't it? If unlocking wasn't necessary, everyone would've just booted recoveries to root their phones. (so that the sdcard doesn't get erased).
I sincerely doubt that the OP has an unlocked bootloader.

Actually I never tried fastboot boot command on a locked bootloader. If it requires an unlocked bootloader and OP has a locked one I have no idea to recover his data.

Please guy ! You're a genius !
I love you !
I just used the reboot comand and my phone goes On !
Now I can back up my files
(Ps : For the people who'll have the same problem, you have to use your charger with you're computer and keep pressing the volume down while putting the charger in the phone to go in boot menu, but be carfully, you can't shutdown after that only solution, remove batery !)

Hallo there,
at first sorry for the nearly 10th post about this topic, but as you can see I'm in a different position than the most of you. I'm on Arch Linux here and I don't rly want to root my phone with a windows box.
I got adb and fastboot installed, but I can't find a general guide how to flash recovery and root with them, because there are always these click-click-shiny-shiny gui .exes for windows, which take some tasks.
I did root my Droid 3, but this was years ago, and I did never get into this stuff so deep it would help me now. I am a lil exhausted from the day, and don't rly want to puzzle my way through the google search results, which as described above lead to a .exe with a gui at some point.
Anyone here, who knows the basics and is willing to give me a hand here?
As I said I'm a Linux aka a terminal user so you don't need to be soft on this, I just need it compact but complete.
Thanks in advance
p.s. What I think will be relevant at some point, based on the search results so far:

Flash recovery image in fastboot (terminal)?
Be need I have an .img of twrp somewhere but should be on forum.
You could also consider using a VM for the .exe.

aka I just follow this guide and change the mobopx part to this:
Code:
fastboot flash recovery twrp_3.0.2_mate7_6.0.img
as stated in the the download entry I linked above?
And there is another question. The part after

is not necessary if I use a different launcher than EMUI, or is it?

it allows customizing advanced settings and is implemented in boot. not necessary

if you have recovery etc just flash supersu for root

This is the tldr:
I have rooted my Mate 7 now like this:
1. got my unlockcode here
2. installed the recovery
Code:
adb reboot bootloader
fastboot oem unlock (insert code)
fastboot flash recovery twrp_3.0.2_mate7_6.0.img
fastboot reboot
3. moved supersu to my sd card
4. booted into recovery (by shutdown and power on with power+volUP+volDOWN pressed)
5. backup system (just for safety)
6. install -> chose supersu.zip
DONE
EDIT: HOW DO I MARK THIS AS SOLVED?

Yay well done and also on posting the solution. I reread what I typed and couldn't make sense to why I mentioned cwm and twrp (same stuff, diff developers or so) so maybe I mixed up bits of another topic
Hi, I will be showing you how to root this device, it's a pretty new (released last year) model from Acer (a company dev hates becauseof their no-release firmware).
I will not be held responsible for anything that will happen, proceed at your own risk
ABOUT (ME?):
ive had this device, i really wanted to root it, but turns out that no official or legit guide is available in the internet. But with the help of some other guides about previous tutorial, and a big thanks to smartmanvartan who provided the customized twrp port for my device.
PREREQUISITES
1. ADB and fastboot, here is a guide (Note: im using linux), if youre in windows, go to the acer webpage and download the usb driver for the device and install it.
2. the twrp port in here. Then unpack that zip file, you will be using the twrp-mod.img file.
3. download the supersu.zip here and put it in the external sdcard.
BACKUP!!! Make sure you also have a backup of the original firmware, so if something happens, it's easy to return to stock, you can download the firmware here
Process
Im assuming that you already has the required files. MAKE SURE YOURE DEVICE IS z528, there are two kinds of acer liquid zest 4g.
1. unlock the oem lock in the device, go to settings > about device > go to build number and repeatedly tap on it until you are notified that the developers option is enabled. After that, go to settings > developer option > turn on the enable the oem unlocking, enable usb debugging.
2. turn off your device then boot into fastboot mode (press the VOL UP button and the Power Button) it should boot into the prebootloader, use the VOL UP key to navigate, then VOL DOWN to select, you have 4 options: recovery, fastboot, normal, demo, choose fastboot.
2. while in fastboot mode, connect cable to the phone to the device, then open a terminal (command prompt if youre in windows) then type
Code:
fastboot devices
then enter, it should return a device on the list. (if youre device is not in the list,make sure you've followed the adb and fastboot install guide)
3. Once fastboot detects youre device, do
Code:
fastboot oem unlock
and there will be a prompt in your device, follow it.
4. check everything is okay with
Code:
fastboot getvar all
and look for the bootloader if its unlocked.
5. navigate to the place where the twrp image is located, then open terminal there (windows: shift + right click > open command prompt there) then do
Code:
fastboot boot <name of the twrp.img>
example :
Code:
fastboot boot twrp-mod.img
then wait for the device to restart and boot into the custom recovery.
6. While in the custom recovery, (you will see my name there HAHAHA) tap install, locate the supersu.zip, and wait for it to get flashed. You will see some important notice about not disturbing the process, the device should boot twice and, if everything is successful, voila! your device is rooted, after logging again like your device is fresh from the store, check the supersu app, it should not throw some error
6.5. if it's not working, try repeating the process, then before installing the supersu.zip, go to wipe first, then erase the cache (DO NOT ERASE ANY OTHER!, then go back, wipe swipe to do factory wipe.
EVERYTHING SHOULD WORK!
Just reply if you've encounter any problem.
NOTE:
it also works for the z628 (t08)
Hello,
Does it work for t08?

The method ive showed you is booting only in twrp, not replacing to stock recovery. After using the command
fastboot boot twrp.img
You should wait for your device to boot into twrp.
If you want to replace the stock recovery, im warning you,google the possible problems that may happen, if you wish to proceed, use the command
fastboot flash recovery twrp.img

ok from where did you take the twrp recovery.
did you changes some stuff , sow that its works on this device?
or did you make it yourself.
if i try and its not working . maybe bootloop or just a brick .
can i recover it with the linux terminal?

I got the custom twrp from a person here on xda. To avoid bootloop, don't flash the TWRP, just do the fastboot boot twrp.img, that method will never cause bootloop. What is your device? What happened after you fastboot boot twrp.img?
Your tutorial works fine . But I just want want a custom recovery so that I can make a custom ROM for this device.
i have a question
i downloaded SP Flastool for linux but how put this phone to download mode.
sow that it's connect with the program.

You will only use the sp flash tool if your device is mediatek, also, you wont need it for the rooting process this tutorial is for, you will only need the sp flash tool when your device got soft bricked
ok guys i did the test.
you can safely flash this recovery to your device.
lets make some custom roms now.

guys are u shure u mean the z628 not the 528? the 628 ist the liquid zest plus iirc... liquid zest 4g are 525 and 528 iirc... if u mean the 528 is the twrp working on this device? would be great it twrp works on this device...

Hi all
I'm looking to learn how to root a BLU Advance 5.0 HD phone (Marshmallow Android 6.0)
I'm newbie...
I already found a a blutwrp.img on https://bluroms.info/ website but this is the only thing I'm sure I have to use it.
About ADB I found the genuine google package (platform-tools-latest-windows) and the SR4-SuperSU-v2.78-SR4-20161115184928 package too.
I don't know if all this part are good for my phone...
Thanks for help...
I'm also looking for a root. I tried a few suggestions like Kingoroot but nothing has worked.
marshmallow
there is no automatic root for Marshmallow this is why I posted this thread ...

Yes you have to use the twrp recovery. Have you even flashed it? Using adb when the device is on, (make sure to enable usb debugging in settings and authorize your computer) run adb reboot bootloader and then make sure that fastboot recognizes your device and run fastboot oem unlock to unlock your bootloader. Unlocking your bootloader this way is the easiest and doesn't work all times. If it successfully unlocked your bootloader, just do fastboot flash recovery <recovery.img location> and then reboot into system and run adb reboot recovery, from there you can push the su zip or just adb sideload it. To push you do adb push <location to supersu.zip> /sdcard and then go to install and find the zip and flash it, to sideload it, go to advanced and hit sideload and type adb sideload <location to supersu zip>
If I helped, hit thanks Hope it works!
@RAZERZDAHACKER Thanks for help !
I would like to have more info about blutwrp.img and the SR4-SuperSU-v2.78-SR4-20161115184928 package too. I'm not sure this is the two files I have to use with my BLU Advance 5.0 HD...
Thanks

What's the codename for that device? Open up an adb shell, and report whatever comes before the $ sign
Hi
Thanks for help
There is many info here
please look at the file attached
I am strongly doubting that came before the $ sign. The attached file says [email protected] in the shell, indicating the codename to be ducati
its not rooted device
what is the command line to see the codename ?
In build.prop I can see :
ro.build.version codename = REL
ro.product.device=BLU_ADVANCE_5.0_HD
when I open a terminal I see:
[email protected]_ADVANCE_5.0_HD:/$
this is what you want ? So the codename is BLU_ADVANCE_5.0_HD
thanks
You don't even need to do anything or have root access, just open a terminal window and see what text is there, don't you're anything
[email protected]_ADVANCE_5.0_HD:/
this is what I see when I open a terminal windows

Huh, no offense to the creators but that is a pretty dumb name, anyway, you have fastboot and adb access right? I will try and have a check at the twrp image and see if I can verify that it is for the correct device and if you don't know how to flash it, a guide on that as well
---------- Post added at 09:30 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:26 PM ----------
Update: The website seems genuine. Using an mtk flashing tool you can flash this file (youtube guide) and then using the supersu zip you've downloaded, use the methods I mentioned in my first post.
Good luck!
Yes its the device name. Thanks for your help I appreciate. The root process is often described on many website but there seems to be a doubt about a possible boot loop problem depending on the command executed... so I will follow your guide for sure.
I do not really understand.. You say I have to use MTK Flashing Tool+ADB + TWRP + SuperSU ... ?? I need two more university years ...

Should work with just using the mtk flashing tool to flash twrp then flash SuperSU. If it says something about bootloader being locked, just boot I to fastboot via adb and do fastboot oem unloc.

hey thank you so much for help I appreciate ! I understand that if i use adb to unlock the bootloader this will erase all my data right ? but if I use mtk flashing tool I get a chance to do a clean root to save my data right ?

It's fastboot to unlock bootloader, and I believe you're correct. Though, always make backups.
I managed to flash the blutwrp.img file but it put me into a boot loop. It would boot into Twrp, scroll information about being unable to mount anything and just boot loop.
same for me
