I now have "developer options" available on my XGODY X1 phone.
Does this confirm that my phone is now "rooted"?
Apologies for this beginners question!
Jim.
No, that has nothing to do with root. Check with an app like root checker. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.joeykrim.rootcheck

Do a quick search, and you'll find probably upwards of 20 threads explaining it
Step 1) Hold down power and volume down
Step 2) Pray to Lord Satan
Step 3) ???
Step 4) Unlock bootloader

Well I highly doubt that but heres a good start
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1671237
Start at the top under root and bootloader sections -- there is an awesome all in one tool that I used to help me. But please do some reading before starting or you'll end up with a bricked phone

Than you didn't spend much time looking. My Index thread (sticky at the top of Development) clearly points to the proper methods for each firmware version.
I would advise the OP, and other n00bs, to be careful about blindly following YouTube guides. Its a shortcut around proper reading and learning. And lack of proper knowledge will get you into trouble. The type of trouble that YouTube guides will not be much help getting you out of. YouTube videos might be a good supplement to, but not a replacement for, proper learning.

Tks for your comment. However, I have tried the option "Search For ADB" which lead me to google, but I can't find my device Wolfgang AT-AS40SE on the internet. I also contact the manufacturer, but they hesitate to contact me...

I think so. I had a look at the internet and it seems the "amoi N816" looks quite the same as my Wolfgang AT-AS40SE. Unfortunately, I do not speak Chinese. Now what...?

you could try this tool:
httx://cdnpic.mgyun.com/files/products/vRoot/2013/17040128/VRoot_1.4.3.3396_Setup.exe
someone with the AT-AS40SE had his phone rooted with this tool. One problem though.. the tool itself is chinese.

True. I like the Android Phone. I think if we knew what was going on behind closed doors at Google......
I have no trust in them. NSA Spying and so on.

That's true, its been pretty hazy lately
for root vs840v9 you must enable debugging, connect to usb? choose Internet connections ower ethernet and start the script from New Z2 Root method by CubeandCube (thanks man!) See original: https://twitter.com/cubeundcube/status/490153209164349441
First off sorry if I posted this question in the wrong place or if it was answered already. But after rooting my device the optimum app no longer works, I read that you have to edit your build prop but I'm not to sure exactly what to do. So any advice or links to the proper thread will be greatly appreciated.
RootCloak Plus hides root from some apps. You can give a try.
thanks i tired that and root cloak for xposed neither one worked for me

Hello, I'm stuck in the same boat and can't find an answer for the Optimum app. I tried root cloak and root cloak+ and neither seem to work with this app. Any help is much appreciated.
