Flash Tool (can unbrick X10i with provided files)
for software update of X10a unbrick just overwrite .sin files with desired ones from post above
(+ link to tool +)
read HowTo.txt from flash tool

1.) download that
2.) get the DeviceID.txt file right
3.) Bjurn
=> gives you an older version, but it's working!

Here's the direct link post #3 is where your wanting to go.

Oh here this is the guide you'll want to fallow in rooting your phone easy as it gets with pics and everything.
Easy root
I tried them.... It requires my device ID. How can I do that when I can't go inside my phone!? So what I did was I copied the Device ID.txt when I last rooted to the X10Flash_Unbrick folder. The problem is not solved. Please check the image.

You don't get your device ID from the phone you get it from your PC. Make sure you use the same USB plug everytime you connect your phone to your PC. I would download the auto device ID finder and install it as per instructions and run from step 1 again.
Also are you on a 32 bit OS or 64 bit OS, if your on a 64 bit you might be having issues with Java which requires you to install java pacs.

-------------------------
Modified the Iconia Tab GB's xml files to remove the need for portrait mode and change the name so not as to be confused with the original ginger break.
File attached.... signedGBIconiaTab1.20.apk (296.8 KB)
good luck
Older Details:
-------------------------
Root based on Chainfire's gingerbreak
Usual rules apply, if you break then best efforts but in the end it's was up to you to click 'root'
Thank you for your tools and time:
apkmanager; Daneshm90
apktool; brutall
Superuser honeycomb; j4mm3r
gingerbreak initial version ; Chainfire (Please review this for all the requirements)
The Android Exploid Crew for the exploit
Thanks you people for your help and input:
lou0611,dc13,maddler,nycbjr,seraphimserapis, it2steve, thor2002ro, rmgold & of course all of the team xda-developers
Special thanks to maddler for pointing us to the exploit
Chainfire for his apk version and work on gingerbreak
More Details
What we done to gain inital root:
turned on usb debugging & unknown sources
leave usb connected between tablet and pc
must have microsd card in the device (you may loose all the data on the card, read Chainfire thread)
split open chainfire's gingerbreak.apk with apktool
hex edited the gingerbrake.png change HONEY to HRI66 (see this link after reading the exploit)
added the updated su from xoom (thanks guys for coming to help me!)
recreated the apk with apktool
resigned with apkmanager
pushed to /data/local
launched apk install using oi file mananger entering the whole path to apk
set tablet in portrait mode and locked rotation
run the gingerbreak tool (it installs the root, updates SU and installed superuser.apk) waited about 4-5 tense minutes
confirmed root in terminal
install busybox
There are other method (which maybe easier) please check the 'How To Root An Acer Iconia A500' thread
Step by Step Root Guide [Long Method]
As with most instructions read completely before starting...
based off gingerbreak's instructions
usual rules apply, if you break then best efforts but in the end it's was up to you to click 'root'
Install Applications from market:
oi file manager
busybox installer (or Titaium Backup)
From your setting menu:
settings/applications
check Unknown Sources box
setting/Development
check USB Debugging
On the PC and Acer a500: Using ADB (I needed to download the usb driver from acer & sdk for adb):
(from the folder where the apk & adb is...)
connect your micro usb cable make sure usb debug comes up !
copy the apk to storage
On the Acer A500:
insert micro SD card if you have not done this yet
Rotate display to Portrait mode
Lock the screen its the little button under the VOL up/down (just incase)
Launch file manager
find and install <Gingerbreak>.apk (name will be different depending on version)
Install the application 'GingerBreak' (name will be different depending on version)
Return to apps menu
Find and launch 'Gingerbreak' [you must be in Portait or it will FC]
Select root device
Wait for it to reboot (2-10 mins, if you want monitor it with aLogcat or Logcat)
--- after reboot ---
Remove the rotate lock
Disconnect the usb cable
Uninstall Gingerbreak
Launch busybox app which will install busybox !
Install your root apps (my first are Titainum Backup and Cpu Master for me)
enjoy your Iconia a little bit more...
Regards and Best of Luck
Bugs? Troubleshooting?
Post any Bug for inital version
Issues
Hardcoded to HRI66
Features
Requires SD Card...
Why repost this method when the actual method is as simple as check debug, unknown sources, make sure sd is in slot, install app and run app?
Just asking. Thanks.
Reply
Probably for people like me that are new to rooting a device, detailed instructions can help others to understand and maximize success.
Placing the SD card in the slot was (for me) unclear per the original instructions, I just decided to try it since I was at a loss and it worked.

I think no one for HC 3.2
You should revert to HC 3.0.1 and install a custom ROM HC 3.2 already rooted.

My app root toolbox will flash a recovery image, all download links in my signature.
For root access use z4root. Don't update to 2.1 because z4root doesn't work on some versions of it.
Also have a look here before you change roms/unlock fastboot

Hey there
Nice to see you're still on 1.6 , We really need your help right now!
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1123968
If you haven't already rooted , Follow these steps :
1. Download http://bit.ly/9wAKC5 and transfer to phones SD Card
2. Download Astro File Manager in Market (Or any other file manager)
3. Open the file manager and locate the application you downloaded
4. Click on the File and Install the Universal Androot .apk
5. Run Universal Androot and select Superuser for 2.0 - 2.2
6. Click 'Go Root'
7. Follow any restart prompts
8. Go back into market and download Terminal Emulator
9. Follow the instructions from the CODE box on http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1123968
10. The files will be created in the backup1.6 folder on the SD
11. Using a computer, .ZIP these files and upload them to the filesharing site of your choice
12. Share the link to us
13. Be very proud of yourself, you've helped us all
Then after , I would install 2.1 using LG Software Updater (Easiest Method)
But EVERYTHING is deleted , Including contacts and SMS when doing so. To backup contacts , click Contacts , Press Menu and press Export then Export to SD
To backup SMS I recommend SMS Backup and Restore from Market.
Hope I helped Jamie
haha okei, i'll try to do that so i can give you a recovery imagine of 1.6
and you told me to upload to official 2.1 android through lg site,, i am known that 2.1 is just, mmm , as 1.6 XD i mean, you have problems to install things in the sd, and many apks does not work, and the flash is dead x.x haha
but well, i'll do that first before upgrading to another version!

It won't
Sent from my GT-N7000 using xda premium
Worked for me! It was even easier than rooting an HTC Evo 4G. This thread, or at least the thread referenced in the first post, should be stickied in the Development sub-forum.
I am a Noob and I can Root my Note!
I had experience rooting a Milestone 2 with SuperOneClick and an unbranded Android Tablet with Z4Root. (Thanks to developers of these!)
Unfortunately, both these methods did not work on the Galaxy Note so I came here and found this thread.
Unfortunately, ADB drivers was an issue with the zergRush Exploit on first run. The easiest way to get around this is to install PDANet on Windows and have it install the drivers for you. No need to complete the whole installation, just watch when it's finished installing USB drivers and then when prompted to continue, just cancel. Then re-run the zergRush Exploit and it should do its magic (Again thanks to the developers who work on these!)
While I'm able to freeze some apps with ROM Toolbox, I'm unable to change boot animation or the battery icon. Would appreciate if anyone could help with this!
Rooting hav no relation to install official/crckd version of apk.
Rooting needed for those application which are needed to access your system data e.g backup etc
when you need to install these kinds of application (weather off/unoff) you needs Root.
The optional unrooting package works also perfectly (just for info)...
i have sent back my Galaxy Note to amazon just to wait for the white version of the Note.
This method won't increase your binary counter, so root and unroot it as often as you like
Never either had any problem at all after rooting it, so this method is also stable and won't crash your device in any way or crash any applications...
Root confirmed working here, superuser.apk doesn't have permissions set properly but still works, easy to fix, updates fine from market.
Awesome - confirmed working. This needs to be stickied... other websites are promoting netchips CWN kernel method instead of this MUCH simplier way.
For you noobs with a clean system (that means me!), get the following files:
Note I run a 64 bit windows box, get the 32 bit variants if necessary.
You need:
1) Latest version of Kies
www.samsung.com/ca/kies/index.html
download file for me was: Kies_2.0.3.11082_152_4.exe
2) Java:
www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/index.html
Click on jdk and download. File for me: jdk-7u1-windows-x64.exe
3) android sdk:
developer.android.com/sdk/index.html
My file was: installer_r15-windows.exe
4) zergrush root script
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1312859
grab the zip file in that page i.e.
DooMLoRD_v1_UNROOTING.zip
and unzip it to your windows box.
Install 1, 2, 3 in that order.
Find the SDK Manager program in your sdk install directory, double click it, and download/update 'Android SDK Platform Tools'.
Note you can't run the sdk manager program from the command prompt, or it'll complain that directories are being locked.
Now follow the instructions on the zergrush page, i.e. do the 'before you begin' stuff.
Go to the directory where you unzipped the doomlord zip file, run the runme script from a command prompt,and that's it.
To test, download terminal monitor, run it, and do a 'su' then 'id' and see if it says you are root or not.
Good luck!

sir can i ask a question?
after i install the cwm and i will make a nandroid back up before rooting the phone.
if i restore the unrooted back up. Will i go back to became un root again and go back to out of the box state?
will this work with the Korean version of the Note? thanks in advance.
Well, it seems that the new update (as mentioned in a previous thread), breaks the current root.
I was looking to see if anyone can provide a step by step tutorial on how to successfully install CM7 onto their Kindle Fire. I have tried in the past (few days ago really, but "past" sounds so cool to say), and it failed. Are there any tutorials, other than the original, that are easy to understand and help install CM7?
I'd greatly appreciate your help!
Background: Not a total newb on computers, but not a total vet using cmd and/or Android devices... I currently have 3-4 Apple devices with iOS and jailbroken. I am fairly comfortable with messing with my devices.
I'm a newbie to rooting and CM7 but I managed fine by following the main threads in the developers forum and the videos on kindlefirewire.com
Use the .zips and files contained in the main thread and make sure you follow those commands (I think they are the same, but just to be safe)
When you root, make sure you install BusyBox when SuperOneClick asks to - you will need it later. I didn't have the 'cp' command without it. So you might need to root again before installing CM7 just to make sure.
In the CM7 thread, follow the steps to install the google apps - it was a lot more effort to get the Market back on the KF without doing so (I had to push dropbox and ES Explorer to the device first).
Edit: I should note that I did all this with 6.2 before the 6.2.1 update came out. If you've got the new update in your KF I would wait until a workable root solution is found.
Here follow this guide
http://liliputing.com/2011/12/amazon-releases-kindle-fire-6-2-1-software-breaks-root.html
Thanks a lot for both of your helps!
