I'm trying to root my Moto g play and I was able to unlock the bootloader but I can't get past that any help would be awesome I'm trying to flash nethunter as well
AFAIK the phone is running Android 10, hence it comes by default with TOYBOX ( no root ) installed. All you have to do is to flash TOYBOX v0.8.5 what comes with SU ( read: root ).
How do I flash toybox?

If you have a Custom Recovery installed, then you
1. create a flashable TOYBOX-UPDATE.ZIP what contains all the necessary files incl. updater-script
2. flash this ZIP via the Custom Recovery
otherwise, if you can successfully establish an ADB connection, you
1. create a Windows CMD file that contains all the necessary commands
2. connect computer with phone
2. run the Windows CMD file

hello there can any one help me to root xolo x900 i had tried every thing that is available in internet every thing failed is there any way to root it
First make sure you have the following
- Xolo ICS update installed.
- Intel USB driver for Windows
- The Root Installer
-------------------------------------------------
Then,
- Enable USB Debugging mode and then connect your Phone to PC.
- Extract root installer archive and run the runme.bat file.
- In your PC, type 1 in the command prompt for “Make a choice”. your device will ask for Full Restore. You will not loose data. Select Restore my data. Finally, your device will reboot twice and you will be rooted. Note that your screen may flash before the second reboot which is fine.
Managed to Root my xolo x900
I think I've found a way to root my x900. It's currently running the latest version of SuperSU 2.16 and has the stericson busybox installed.
I've tried rooting the x900 with all possible methods and have never been successful. Especially the part where it says 'restore started' then 'restore ended' almost immediately. By no means am I an expert on this and the following was achieved with a lot of trial and error, I've tried to put it down in the simplest way I could.
Warning: Try the following at your own risk.I do not wish to be held responsible for any damage your phone might incur.
These were my steps:
1.I extracted the boot.img(a) from the orange-sandiego ics signed update file found at modaco forum
2. I extracted the boot.img(b) from the official rom downloaded from androidxda.
3. Download and install minimal adb and fastboot installer from XDA forums along with the Intel-usb and adb drivers from androidxda.
4. Download the latest Superuser binary and .apk .zip from the official XDA thread
5. Download the stericson.busybox.apk from the internet.
6. Place the boot images[(a) and (b) renamed to your preference] in the main folder of the minimal adb/fastboot exe, found in C: program files x86...... Also unzip the SU file and place su from the x86 folder and the Superuser.apk into the main adb/fastboot folder along with the busybox.apk.
4. Turn on usb debugging and switch off the phone.
5. Hold vol-up + power keys for about 10seconds to put the phone into bootloader mode. It should say 'droidboot' on the screen.
6. Open a command prompt from the adb/fastboot desktop shortcut you have after you're done installing the adb/fastboot exe.
7. Type in
fastboot devices
Your device will be listed, then type in
fastboot flash boot boot.img(a)
This will flash the boot.img from the orange-ics-update, then type
fastboot reboot
Your phone should now reboot to system but the screen will not be functional and will only show different colors.
8. Now type
adb devices
To confirm your device is visible. Follow this with:
adb shell
su
mount -o rw,remount /system
exit
exit
adb push su /sdcard/su
adb shell
su
cat /sdcard/su > /system/xbin/su
ln -s /system/xbin/su /system/bin/su
chmod 6755 /system/xbin/su
exit
exit
adb install Superuser.apk
adb install stericson.busybox.apk
adb reboot bootloader
9. Now once again after confirming that the device is recognized in fastboot do this:
fastboot flash boot boot.img(b)
fastboot reboot
Your phone will now reboot to system, and it will have root access and busybox installed.
Good Luck.

I've tried all versions of framaroot before, none worked, neither does towel root, cydia impactor, v-root or shuame root helper.
Wicked! Thanks for that.
Are you able to install a full Linux distro on the device after it is rooted or is the bootloader still locked?

Does anyone know how tor root the 360 N5?
Does anyone know how to root for the 360 N5s? I found a way to root it but flashing the DevRom that they gave me (with root access) ****s up my camera (stops working). I flashed it back to stockRom and its fine again though. Just need to get TWRP onto my phone so I can install a custom ROM to clean up the bloatware!!! Thank you!
How to root 360 N5 ? i tried several rooting app but nothing works. and installing TWRP not working
So i have an honor 8 (frd-l09) and i want to root it. The problem is that i only have an mac (that my school gave to me). Any applications or methods that could help me??
HI Samer
Its not entirely different from windows method..Below are some steps to follow:
1) As part of the instructions you would have seen the commands to run adb and fastboot.. For these download the Mac version of platform tools from the below link - https://dl.google.com/android/repository/platform-tools-latest-darwin.zip
2) To run these commands move all the necessary custom recovery files to the folder where the adb and fastboot files exist.
3) You will have to follow the methods listed in the forum like this one, for instance unlock the bootloader, install custom rom and run the SuperSu or Magisk Manager files
https://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-8/how-to/guide-unlock-bootloader-tested-root-t3443946
4) Only thing to note is when you run the adb or fastboot commands use "./" before the commands for instance - $ ./adb devices
5) Follow the instructions and you should be able to do it
Do let me know if you have any trouble doing it
Has anybody heard of the Vankyo Z1 MatrixPad? It's a cheap generic tablet with Android Go Edition 8.1. I think the bootloader is unlocked (fastboot oem unlock gave "Okay" as a result but oem device-info and other commands aren't recognized). I don't mind bricking it if it comes to it, but is there a generic TWRP or can I just get Magisk on this thing?

I'm currently trying to root it however nothings working including all the ADB and flashboot commands, OEM unlocking ect
Because your Android is version 8.1 to get the superuser access to be able to control various aspects of Android OS means you need to perform a certain modification that will root your tablet's Android.
Here is what you have to do to root your device's Android: Replace Android's Toybox binary - what is a restricted version by default - by unrestricted Toybox v0.8.5. This can get achieved by means of ADB.
Toybox v0.8.5 is available here:
Index of /toybox/bin

How to root Asus Z010D without no power and volume button And it has no OEM unlock option(I think administrator not allowing)Hope for a solution
Since this phone is running Android 6 all you have to do is to replace ( restricted ) Toybox by ( non-restricted ) Toybox v0.8.5 what has SU applet implemented.
It's NOT required device's bootloader got unlocked before: it all can be done via a series of ADB commands.

Toybox combines many common Linux command line utilities together into a single BSD-licensed executable.

Can we use busybox instead of toybox? will it work in asus z010d
What sense will it make to install Busybox ( a 3rd party binary ) in parallel to already pre-installed Toybox what results in disabling Toybox?

Then how can I reach to twrp recovery? I cannot install supersu zip from recovery plz help me
Wondering why you intend to flash TWRP and SuperSU? All not needed to root a phone's Android, IMO.
