I have looked on the XDA forums and have tried to root my device, but it is rather confusing. I only got to the part where the Linux identified my partition, which was nand, or something like that Linux didn't really make it to clear for noob standars, it just said nand a bunch of times in the terminal. I cant install Kingo, as a I only have a Mac and Linux, and the other method is very confusing. I tried installing Kingo apk on my X10, but it lags out at 90% every single time. Can someone please help me and also show me a custom rom that is very fast for my Dragon Touch X10, please guarantee no risk. Also can i download the adb thing on mac through terminal like linux did? Please help and explain as if you were talking to three year old. Also i tried finding my Dragon Touch X10 on the XDA site, but every time it goes to the X10 phone, my tablet has ultraocta A83 2.0 ghz 1 gb ram, 5.1.1 android. Also ive tried kingo apk on an old htc sense and although it did work, it screwed the phone up
Twrp does work but you have to get the name for the device witch is were I got stuck still trying
I take that back over further research you need to flash a old twrp for work

Hey all, this is a great forum so ive decided its the best 1 to post about my issue too: ive got my phone locked, now ive paid for it to be unlocked and i think its only fair that i can be able to remove the software that comes with the phone from the phone carrier which i dont need: like uno trial, guitar hero trial etc...
So ive heard that i need to root my phone but i am totally unexperient at this as ive never done it before and never had an android phone before so please could someone give me a full step by step guide of what i need to do to root my xperia x10 mini pro android 2.1 update 1? its a great deal for me as not only it should help me remove useless apps that keep installing themselves once i restart the phone but it also helps me install apps on the SD card rather than on the limited 128mb phone internal memory.
Thanks very much in advance!
hey im sorry ive forgot to mention

No one willing to show me a complete guide for this? :\ all guides ive seen so far do not mention "basic steps" which i cant actually guess them if i havent done them before no? ive heard something about installing some drivers and adb but ive got no clue wth they mean with that, any help?
Thanks in Advance!
Every phone is different try going to Google or the fourms search typing in your phones make and model and the word root or how to to root "your phone" good luck
Sent from my hero running froyo with the XDA APP

Well thx anyways i supose im gonna keep looking :\
Hi All ,Has anyone in this great community managed to root a Android 2.3 Capacitive multitouch S5PV210A8 with the Samsung processor . bought of Amazon UK Has an old newbie it works fine ,but unable to root with the normal tools ,any help appreciated
Hello,
In all honesty, these things are not hard to root however as they are VERY Generic, you wont find many doing it or custom roms.
Rooting basically consists of taking a system dump of the tablet and injecting the "su" binaries into it. Of course the steps to accomplish this vary from product to product.
First, start by seeing if you can get adb working and communicating with the tablet.
If yes, then see what bootloader you are running (type "adb reboot bootloader". If you are running fastboot, you should be able to build a custom recovery from the ClockworkMod Source Tree if you know how.
Hi Kieth i am a complete newbie , and sorry but you lost me straight away , i thought there may a one click app to do it ,so i think i will leave it alone for the time being Appreciate you taking the time to reply
root
managed to root it using the one click method ,quite painless really. TWO things have happened since i rooted ,keep getting process com.android vending force close ,and . no keyboard shows ,even when i try installing new apk.now looking for a custom rom for this model. its not bad with a cheapo you can at least learn , and thats what life is all about
I think if you choose the right Rom for your Android 2.3 Samsung processor will be fine.
Hi Rudy , Can you point me in the right direction to find it,Thanks

Yea man.. powercamg4 is almost right (except for getting tired of a Macbook.. boo!) I was literally on these threads two nights ago with a very similar issue. I was never bricked or rooted to begin with but was trying to overcome rooting my phone already updated to 4.1. After hours of research and being stuck halfway through, it turns out the only way to get past the Jellybean bs is to either find a Windows-based computer to use, or use any one of those pieces of software powercamg4 suggests (or Parallels) to run Windows on. I know it sounds like a project, but unfortunately it's definitely the easiest option, and may even be the only at the moment. When you do that, head over to this thread in the dev section: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2046439 and follow those directions. It works like a charm.

Linux is also a free and easy solution. Very easy to dual boot as well.

Vmware Fusion works great
I rooted my phone last night, unlocked the boot loader, and installed CM10. Everything worked fine in Windows 7 x64 virtual machine. The only problem I had was every once in awhile the usb driver would fail the install. I think that was my own fault not uninstalling the usb driver for my Samsung Droid Charge first before I started. Other then that it was a piece of cake.
All right guys here it is, I am trying like hell to root my blu dash 5.0. I found one post that had me flash a rooted image. bricked it once, brought it back by flashing full stock image. did it properly the second, third, and fourth time. I got stuck in a bootloop on the blu logo. link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/and...-stock-rom-images-t2967900/page3#post65333894
I have tried all manner of one click root tools. Tried Framaroot. Nada. Is there anyone out there who has found the way? I am willing to try anything. I am even willing to attempt to find a way to root it myself, but I have never done anything like this on android so i'd need some basic worries/questions answered before I start messing around.
Also, are there any custom Roms for my phone? I've never used custom roms before, but this past summer I did install one on a family members hp tablet because it wasn't android. it was HPs crappy intent for an OS that had been discontinued and they asked if I could get the wifi to work. I ended up just installing a custom Rom because the OS wasn't great any way and I knew they'd prefer android due to familiarity. I decided I'd like to try custom roms on this phone, but i cant figure out if there are any.
Thanks for any help! And if this is in the wrong place, just says so and i'll move it.
forgot to add I can flash it to 4.2 with the stock image i have, but id like a rooted 4.4 or better, if possible.
I tried Kingroot from the pc, and lo and behold, it worked! So now I am trying to get app2sd to work ( my main reason for wanting root). Also if anybody has any custom roms they know of that are compatible, I'd appreciate it. I've looked, but most don't say if they'd work.

Hi guys,
im new to XDA but i've been messing with rooting and stuff on a few android phones for a while and recently i got my hands on the new Moto G5 Plus. And ofcourse this thing needs root if it wants to call itself 'my phone' But the problem is here: I dont really have a computer... I saw some tutorials on how to do it but step 1. You have to unlock the bootloader. Im pretty sure this can only be done the official way by using motorola's software so... yeah. Now at school i have a pc but i can't use anything that needs administration rights. It's just ment to use the Internet and such. So i can only use pc programs that don't need an installation or anything. And a step back, you can't even do anything on it with a pc unless you have the drivers. And surprise surprise, you have to install these. On my previous phone, a samsung galaxy S3 neo. I rooted it, installed twrp and cyanogenmod with lollipop 5.0. And without a computer. I rooted it with KingRoot, a oneclickroot program for the people that want to root just for the root acces and dont really care about how it's done and stuff like that. Then with rom manager installed twrp. And with twrp i flashed CM. So i tried OneClickRoot software on my G5 Plus. And it failed. Kingroot, kingoroot, framaroot, baiduroot, towelroot, oneclickroot etc. And all failed, which is probably because it's locked.. Well OFCOURSE that's the reason what am i thinking!? But back to the phone. If anyone has an idea on how to do this if its even possible... Please let me know! I tried everything.. (i think?) I would prefer a way where it only roots so keeps the stock recovery. This way i can still install system updates right? I have no idea..
Thanks alot. PS. Sorry for probably many grammar mistakes.
From the little research that I did, it seems like you HAVE to use a computer to do it. My advice is, since you are still at school, get some friends... that have computers and use it. Another thing that I thought was somewhat bootleg, get another android device and install the fastboot command on it and use a usb otg cable to connect to it. I have adb working as a command, so I guess fastboot could work as well lol.
Good luck!
