Hey guys, so first I rooted my phone using this method:
Ugh it won't let me use the outside link. basically its the doroot batch file for sdk/adb
Basically installed the android sdk stuff and drivers and then used the doroot batch file. That came back as okay, and I have the superuser permissions app on my phone now.
But then I tried to deodex the phone to start putting themes on there. When i get to the part where i go into the adb shell and try to use 'su' it says permission denied. So I figured the root had failed, or something was messed up. Then I tried to use this method to root:
(DroidX root. the one click program with root me and unroot me.)
That hasn't been successful. The phone disconnects from the computer for some reason (the laptop gives me the disconnected hardware sound during the install, and the install never finishes.)
So I tried Z4root. I downloaded it online, and put it on the phone, and installed it. It gives me the 'unroot' option, so it thinks my phone is rooted, but then it says usb debugging must be enabled. It says it must be enabled for every option i can choose (temp or permanant root.) The thing is, it is enabled!
I've tried to run titanium backup to check if I have root access on the phone, and that app says I don't.
What do I do? I'm totally stumped, and I have no idea if i've screwed this thing up or what. Is there any way to get my phone back to its original state so I can try this whole thing over again?
Help!

have you tried unrooting it since you got the "unroot" option you said when you open up z4?...if you can sucessfully unroot keep debug on and reboot then run z4 again..worth a shot...if it was sucessful you should see the temp root or permenant root option chose permemnet and let it do its magic. hope it helps its worth a shot..
Weird...
Thanks paul. I ended up turning the phone off and pulling the battery, and then upon restart z4 let me unroot, and then let me root! I had probably ****ed something up by trying to root it 2 different ways and 20 different times. Thanks for the advice!
Wait a sec -
So I'm trying to use adb to finish de-odexing, and I'm getting permission denied on the following command:
su mount -o rw,remount -t ext3 /dev/block/mmcblk1p21 /system
Does this mean I'm not rooted? Titanium backup works on the phone, and a notification popped up on the phone asking me if I wanted to give it superuser permissions or something...So I feel like I must be rooted. Any ideas?
If I leave out the su in the front of that command, it says Operation not permitted.
But If I type SU the cursor does switch to the dollar sign, so I think I have su privileges.
Droid X probably dead.
Haha hey everyone. So I managed to get root access through adb shell, and was in the middle of de-odexing the files. However, I ran rm /system/framework/*.odex before I ran rm /system/app/*.odex by mistake.
After the first command, the phone restarted and I lost connection to the phone for some reason.
Now when I start the phone up I get all these boxes that say (on a black background) Sorry! the application Voice Commands (process com.nuance.android.vsuite.vsuiteapp) has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again.
It gives me the option to force close, but the box just appears again. I can't get the phone to boot. What do I do!?
Edit: Found sbf. Flashed. Phone is alive.
Hi, everyone i am new here..
Today i had installed MiniCM-1.0.0-RC2, everything was fine but only loosing Root, i just wanted to know is just a common problem in this version MiniCM-1.0.0-RC2 or is just me or few unlucky ppl like me? I had done with superoneclik in order to have root access gain, the process showing success, but after restart the phone, the phone still in not root. Will it be fixed in future?
sorry for my bad english! I hope you all understand what im saying..thanks
Yes. everyone is losing root. just root again
@daredevil : he says after re-root, he didn't had the root back
@lookingpost : have you check it using root checker?
ya, i had try using superoneclick to re-root again, but after reboot it remained the same, i had try using root explorer to remount r/w or r/o, unfortunately didnt work, and i had checked with superuser, only titanium backup in the list and no other apps like setcpu or root explorer in there. I had try the superuser twice (the result showing success root), but after reboot, the result still the same.
Im using this superoneclick (provided a link)

I have searched everywhere and I think this phone is unable to be rooted. I have discovered the UK version of this phone has a locked down bootloader that will not allow me to gain access any way I try. The phone is running Gingerbread 2.3.6, Build No. GRK39F, Kernel Version 2.6.38.6-perf+ and does not have a su.bin on the phone, nor will it allow me access to put one on it. I get permission denied when i try to remount the partition as r/w. When I try to unlock the bootloader, the phone does reboot but not into bootloader mode. This phone only has a hard reset. No other boot modes (just the factory reset). Chmod/chown will not allow me to change permissions. No matter which application I have tried, I am unable to flash anything to the device, since I can not gain root access. The adb root command gives me an error message as well "adbd cannot run as root in production builds." I know I may be a noob, but I have done a ton of research and have not found anything that will help me. Does anyone has any sort of information that will help me root this device? It would be greatly appreciated!
What programs did you use ?

are you trying to just root or flash custom rom too ?
did you try SuperOneClickv2.3.3-ShortFuse.zip ?
did you try vroot ? in my signature (guide too)
if you install root browser it will install basic commands on your phone busybox sqlite etc
also check this out it might be your firmware does not support root and you might need to install v10b or v10c kdz

Yes, I have tried every app. The apps I use are pretty much irrelevant though, since there isn't a su binary to request permission from. without the su binary, no app can gain root access.

superoneclick does not work as it requests permission from the su binary, which does not exist. root browser does not work either, as it does not allow me to change permissions or ownership either. chmod and chown in linux don't work either. I get "permission denied" when attempting those commands. I an currently running on v10c, but I can not flash anything, including firmware, to this device either. There's no way to downgrade or upgrade. I get a parameter error when attempting to and then the kdz updater crashes and forces itself closed every time I have tried.
My phone model is LG Optimus L3 E400. I could fix this by change the default.prop file ro.secure=1 to ro.secure=0, but I can't write to that file. It's read-only and I can't figure out a way to change that.
I'm really about to just throw this phone out. I had no clue that some phones can not be rooted and would have no further research before buying this one.

you didnt mention vroot was there any error message ?
when you installed root browser on first launch it asks to download little utilities did they install or come with any error ?
also try this super one click 1.7 and select exploit RAGEAGAINSTCAGE in right top corner (it has proven to root problematic e400's)
please update us on your progress
and worst case scenario we will get you to another version of stock and root then

I don't know what vroot did, but it actually worked. you don't know how long I have spent trying to get this done. so many other programs told me that rooting was complete and didn't actually do anything, that when vroot did, I didn't believe it. I thought i was just stuck with a p.o.s. that I couldn't customize. I really appreciate your hep. Thank you so much!
i did but glad i could help

Hey all OUYAins!
So recently I updated my OUYA to Chickcharney and lost root access *cue crying*
I tried installing RootMyOuya1.1 by WonderEkin but it didn't install. So I snooped around for different rooting methods such as ReRoot script by Eldon McGuiness (You can take a look at his script here).
The method that worked perfectly fine for me was to download a piece of software called Kingo (here). Simply download and install it and connect your OUYA to your computer via USB and click Start Root. Wait for the software to root your OUYA and it will eventually reboot. You should now have SuperSU installed with root access!
I hope this thread helps anyone having difficulty with getting root access on Chickcharney!
I'm assuming the device needs to already have been rooted prior to trying Kingo ROOT? I just got my system on Thursday and since I'm new it forced me to download the Chickcharney update and I can't figure out what the best way is to root my OUYA.
i just got one on friday and the same thing it updated automatically
i use this to root my system it still works
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2350900
my ouya was rooted before the update. yesterday I tried Kingo and it said "already rooted", but I had no root permission. So I clicked "root again" and after a minute or so my ouya was rooted again properly.
Thanks Sn0wdune

I tried that to root it but it said it couldn't find the Ouya. I'm running the latest update Chickcharney on mine. Do I need to wipe it to run the root?

That's odd. Are you sure you have your OUYA connected via USB properly and the drivers are correctly installed?

The driver's wouldn't install because I had to turn off driver signing. I got it working after that with Ouya Toolbox root... even though it was crashing part way through. I had to run the TEST version of Ouya Toolbox and just forced the root and I guess it was fine because it appears to be rooted.
Hello everyone,
Today I was able to root the VZW Moto E 2015 with the Kingroot app on 5.1. The Kingroot app said there was a method available and I decided to try it.
Simply install the app on your phone here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/devdb/project/dl/?id=16614
The root sticked for me upon reboot!
**I later found it was a hobbed root. You can't make changes to the system partition but you do have SU capabilities. (like you can run hidden apps and menus or block system apps, not remove them)
I still got root failed

You downloaded the latest one right? Keep trying rebooting the device. That is what I had to do.
After 3rd try it worked !!! thanks OP!
Edit: root lost after reboot
...but is it full root, with full /system read-write access? Some people have been able to get hobbled root via Kingroot on 5.0.2, but /system remained read-only.

Choose a bloatware app that you don't mind losing, such as NFL Mobile. If you "Disabled" it in Settings > Apps, re-enable it.
Install a file manager that has the ability to browse/edit the full filesystem, such as Amaze (https://f-droid.org/repository/browse/?fdid=com.amaze.filemanager) or Root Explorer (in Play Store).
Open up the app and go into /system/app or /system/priv-app and look for the folder related to NFL Mobile (you'll know it's the right folder if the apk inside of it has the NFL Mobile logo). Delete it. If it deletes, that's a good sign. Reboot and see if the NFL Mobile icon is still in the app drawer, and open up the file manager again and verify that the files you've deleted have stayed deleted.

Wow. Everything fails. Kingroot says I got root and stays upon reboot. Titanium Backup acts like it woks but resets after reboot. Very weird.

Yeah, looks like you have hobbled root. While the su binary is installed, the system partition is still in read-only mode. While you'll be able to use apps that only need root privileges to read files/settings, you won't be able to edit the system itself.
Has anybody got it working? What are some signs of it working (i.e. 2 reboots, no reboot, etc.)?

Also tried for 50+ times maybe, sometimes got root sometimes failed---even if got root, always lost root after reboot

If someone gets root again, try to run Sunshine (bootloader unlock). You don't have to pay to see if it'll work.
As a heads up, sunshine fails with an error telling you to contact the sunshine support with your IP address if it continues.
Also, was able to back up the existing boot and recovery using flashify. I flashed the typical recovery used for other surnia devices, but when I tried to boot into recovery, it failed.
It got hung up in fastboot and gave check errors.
It did not keep me from booting back into the rom, so I was able to reflash the original recovery after re-rooting.
Yes, is only temporary root for me on 5.1.
I purchased supersume earlier today with the hopes of ridding myself of kingroot, but it immediately force closes. I trust the kr app about as much as I trust esfile explorer now...

If you have Android 6.0, you do not have the XT1528.
Your device (XT1521 or similar) can be bootloader unlocked and you can install a custom recovery and can flash root.
The device being discussed in this topic (XT1528) cannot be bootloader unlocked.

Not possible. The only known way to have permanent full root is to unlock the bootloader. Unlocking the bootloader is necessary to make /system mount as read-write.
Yes, I understand.can you please send me the procedure to unlock the bootloader.so no body have mentioned correctly in websites and YouTube... So send me the steps to unlock bootloader and root the andriod
