Hey is there any guides or ways to root the oppo A16S? I've been looking around but I cannot work it out
No. In order to root you need to unlock the bootloader. The conventional way of unlocking the bootloader has been disabled on OPPO. You need to use the testpoint method which is really difficult and potentially could ruin your phone for good. So no root for your oppo. Consider using ADB to clean up your oppo using Universal ADB Debloater

Yes. The popular ones have even plenty of custom roms. I suggest checking their xda subforum before making the acquisition.

Wow, that's kind of a cheap shot.
Did you even click through to his rather lengthy thread (with 110 thank yous attached to the first post, no less)? Sounds like you didn't.
If you had, you'd see he currently supports 24 different phone models. I wouldn't expect any developer to own 24 different models.
Don't forget, this is the xda-developers.com forum. Part of developing is getting other people to beta test your products, and one of the purposes of these forums.
To the OP...I'm already rooted, and on a Mac. Can't help you out, but appreciate your interest in the Nexus S.

I'm willing to try with my non rooted nexus s but the question will be if would wipe my phone if i'm rooted, I don't intend to use custom rom as of yet, but want to make use of image capture apks like droidcap.

Status update, I've forgot to install the sdk and usb driver on this machine (not my main PC). Win7 64bit Pro. Now it sticks on 'RUNNING PSNEUTER' for the past 10 minutes...
Does not work, tried the turn off debug on/off same issue, see daemon, opens port, sticks on psneuter....
that app was made to support only 2.1 and 2.2
it works great in all other phones
just not Nexus S due the lack of 2.3 support

You're definitely able to unlock and root this baby. The latest JB OTA just makes it slightly more difficult to unlock but it's still possible. If you get it and it still runs ICS, unlock and root and don't take that OTA.

The last time I checked all android based phones have a method to root and this phone is no different. If you check both android development sections you WILL see ROMs there to flash. Also if an android phone comes with an locked bootloader then there is a method to unlock it. This phone comes with a locked bootloader but there is an app for that.

If there was only like some sort of forum-like site that would give you that info....that would be pretty cool. One can dream though. :silly:
Thanks to an African-Canadian Sock Monkey, we can unlock the bootloader.
a quick look in the development thread would of answered this, but yes, it's VERY simple to root and ROM this phone (coming from HTC phones)
Very simple - did mine while sitting at work goofing around...There's more and more ROMs available every day and you can get support for ANYTHING from all the awesome people here. I'm new to modding phones and I'm so impressed
Just an added note to thank all at XDA Developers who helped my unlock and root my HTC Thunderbolt and my current Galaxy S3.
There's really little need to root and flash the S3 other than to remove VZW's bloatware and I appreciate that but XDA Developers are essential to the Thunderbolt, it required rooting and flashing to make it function properly!

Hello,
I have verizon razr hd xt926 stock version 4.4.2 i am unable to root through towelroot what is another solution for root, unlock bootloader and recovery.
Please help.
Take a look around and read a little bit but I'm pretty sure it's been mentioned a few times that once you upgrade to stock 4.4.2 there is no such thing as rooting or unlocking your bootloader anymore. They've locked it down. Google the specific version that you have.

Yes. You will forever have that device running whatever it is you have. NEVER take new OTAs until you read up on them and learn the effects of what the update does. Some updates are good to go and will allow you to unlock and root. Others, which it looks like in your case, will not allow you to unlock and root.
Best bet, find a broken device on ebay or amazon that is still able to be unlocked, buy it, and have it shipped to you. Also purchase any tools needed to open your device and a T5 screwdriver. Do a motherboard swap and then follow any guides on here to get the unlockable OTA to your device.
Good luck with this issue, we'll be here to help where/when we can.

He also stated that TWRP cannot handle the new file encryption yet, so .zips would need to be uploaded in recovery which is wonky for some, as well as the dual system partition fiasco is not handled yet. So *soon* might be more like a few weeks...
Out of curiosity, what are you guys wanting to do with root? First thing I'm going to do is replace system emojis with iOS ones.
As of 10/20, from the source:
Chainfire said:
This is the first device with Android's new partition layout. Having looked at the firmwares and at running devices (remotely), I have some ideas on how to do it.
However, it will be a while before I have SuperSU fixed up. The changes will be quite a bit of work and testing, and doing so remotely will make that take significantly longer. So I'm just going to wait for my own device, but as they aren't available in my country, it has to be shipped from another country and go through customs. I don't expect my device to arrive for another week or two.
In the meantime, it's always possible someone else releases root for it.
I saw @jcase and @Dees_Troy have been playing with TWRP, to me it seems wholly possible to fix that up (mostly) as well. But even if TWRP is released tomorrow, using the existing SuperSU ZIP will not work on it, due to all the breaking changes in Android 7.1.

Indeed. Once chainfire gets his device, things should begin to roll along much quicker.
I was excited to get the pixel to give into my flashaholic tendencies with reckless abandonment. Sad to see there is no root method available. Went back to my s7 edge for now. I'll get back to my pixel when I can tinker... This pixel sure ain't the Nexus I've grown to know and love. ?

I assume that the dual system layout partition could play a big role in why TWRP/Root isn't ported yet. Every method has to be adapted to that solution so far as it is new. Though TWRP is already being worked and it's only a question of time XD.

@jcase Does the dePixel8 method break Android Pay? Also, does it give you root access, or do I still need to apply root after the dePixel8 (and if so, how?)

This doesn't exactly unlock your bootloader. It breaks whatever VZW put on there to block bootloader unlock. After running this you will need to use adb to unlock the bootloader yourself just like a GS version or a nexus. No, this will not give you root. But typically a bootloader unlock is necessary to achieve root. Root methods have not been released yet. Chain Fire has achieved system less root but it's not ready for release.
Also, no depixel8 does not break android pay. Unlocking your bootloader after applying depixel8 will break android pay. Google has prevented android pay from working of your bootloader is unlocked.
Do you read the XDA articles or just post on the forums?
Hey guys, I'm really debating. I very much want to improve the quality of the camera on the device and it can only be done with the gcam, the problem that for getting the best out of gcam i need root. Basically this is the only reason for me. So I turn it to you, do you think, should Root be made to the device?
Hello mate, you have no choice if you want to install GCAM and some others cool stuff in the future, root is necessary.

For 90% of users, it's not necessary to get root since Oreo and Pie but to install some app like GCAM and Vanced, it's necessary because to modify the OS implantation and then to be able to install those apps.
Root give you the full and entire access of your phone. With caution.

If you have to ask for a reason, root may not be for you.
With root you will lose Google Widevine L1. So you can't see HD contents on Prime Video, Netflix and similar.
Despite this, it is useful for some reasons that khalisz has already said.

I don't believe it voids warranty. OnePlus encourages development and root. If u even go to their site for some devices they show u can install stock with custom recovery. Did that on a few past devices.

I have rooted all my oneplus and returned some of them to OnePlus even without locking bootloader.. no questions asked
OnePlus has always been dev-friendly. I always root because of my apps. I have games I've been playing for over 8 years that I'd lose the data for if I didn't root
This phone is so developer friendly why would you not root? You won't screw up the phone by rooting and if you're someone who has never rooted before then this would be a good device to learn on.

For me rooting is not worth it since i can do all i want without rooting. Sideload mods apks,. Use adb command (native call recording, force 90hz all time etx) . Plus oxygen os is already a modded version of stock android. Most of what oxygent os include u would have to root a pixel to get it. While not rooted all my apps work. No worries about my bank app not working (yes most bank apps work but UNTIL WHEN) or netflix and other movie apps refuses to play at higher resolution only because of root.
Getting my updates over the air. Root is great for but those whi have the time.
