So is there a one click root app that works to root because z4root doesn't work after update
Sent from my SCH-I500 using XDA App
I'm unable to root as well. Been trying the alternate methods without success. Can't even get ADB to work.
verizon fascinate DL09 *UNROOTED AND CURRENTLY UNABLE TO ROOT*
I used this method a few minutes ago and it seemed to work:

EDIT: Scratch that, I tried installing a rom and it failed.
z4root does NOT work with DL09 nor does any one click that i know of... you must use the d2 method found here. I just rooted using this. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=779238

It seems to vary from person to person.
Some people have had success with z4, some have had success with 1-click...
i'm seeing that as well. thanks for the update!! i think a lot of people are going to have issues with this... if they just learned ADB they wouldnt have this problem!!
community is spoiling noobs with 1 clicks...
I used ADB to root my phone and install clockwork recovery not a single issue

True but unfortunately ADB does not work on my x64 Win7 machine.
that seems like a personal problem because it works for me on x64 W7

it uses a diff directory structure, inststead of android-sdk\tools
its in android-sdk-platform\tool\platform
or something like that
but i cant get the root to take using any method yet
I was able to successfully root my device using the files from here, its a 1 click method too.
http://forum.androidcentral.com/fascinate-roms-hacks/33899-how-root.html
If you can get into recovery, and mount system as r/w, you can root it...
Push the files necessary for root such as busybox, superuser, etc
Now how you do that?
I'm not sure.
I used the superoneclick root. Windows XP with 32bit Drivers and FOLLOWED THE INSTRUCTIONS ON THE POST.
This method worked for me
verizon fascinate DL09 *UNROOTED AND CURRENTLY UNABLE TO ROOT*
Possible reason for failure
I had similar issues when I tried to manually root my fascinate after the dl09 update, and was using the most current samsung usb drivers...i think 1.3.550.
I removed the drivers and used the older 1.3.450 and was successfully able to root.
To do without a one click app please give directions because I don't know how to root using other methods

Apologies if there are similar threads.
I am looking for an 'easy way' to root my GALAXY Tab. I have used the android z4root application but it didn't successfully root my device and just hung for a while and did nothing.
I would like to know if there is another way to root the device. I want to have root so that I can slightly overclock the CPU, for now I am not majorly interested in custom ROMS as I know there still in early stages of development.
Any help would be appreciated, thanks peeps!
Same here. Z4root crashes on my device with latest firmware
I installed the tools with OCLF one click lag fix then ran z4root. You can also install busy box with Titanium before you get root.

Thanks, but is there no tutorial on XDA that explains in detail how you can go about rooting your device. I've not be able to find anything with the search tool...?
With z4root being so easy and available on so many devices, alot of the tutorials with adb push (or what ever) or how to manually root have disappeared with few exceptions. Now it seems people find work arounds to Get z4root to work as the alternative is more difficult. It took a very long time to root on my SGT. On my DroidX it took three times to work and root.
And to the poster above about OCLF. I did the Install ext2Tools. The OneClickLagFixv2.2+ became available. When I run the OCLF 2.2+ I get an error with code: Could not mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p2 onto /dbdata/rfsdata: mount: device or resource Busy.
I rooted with z4root first and then VZW Tab bootstraper by Koush CWM which converted to EXT4, then I ran OCLF EXT2Tools. Would this be an issue? Sorry I'm a bit new to SGT.
And I don't mean to hijack thread. Tia

Just received my gtab today. Updated to 3.2
Seems there are a lot of people curious about it so I'm here to help, or try to at least.
Notes:
1. I do NOT have windows. Running on a 64gb ssd mac so I wont be able to be bootcamping. I may have access to a windows PC here and there but my response may be slow.
2. I am on Korean time, so please be patient if I do not respond quickly.
3. I am an android/tablet/rooting NOOB. You must explain some of your complicated requests thoroughly.
Quick question. Can I root this baby? I heard installing rooting somehow messes up the screen for recovery mode.
*Added picture of settings
*Added picture of apps (in case you wanted to see what the korean version has to offer)
Random things:
1. For those saying pen memo is slow/horrible on 3.1, it is still slow/horrible on 3.2. I tried sketchbook mobile and my galaxy s2 is way more responsive.
Thank you for the awesome support, let me see the hope of 3.2. Waiting for developers wake up to see this.

Go to 10.1 development thread "solving touchscreen sensitivity". I'm almost sure it will work for 8.9. If not let me know i may look to kernel sources.
So this is for the Wifi 10.1?
OK pls show the build.props file

d4mn...why some people get 3.2 update? hopefully samsung will release the update to all tab version..
We need you to use ADB to copy out the /system folder. Don't worry, the /system folder won't have any of your personal information in it. You don't need root to do this. The instructions are above, but the command is slightly different on mac. Let us know if you need help doing it - there are plenty of us that are good with ADB that can help out.
Samsung is so annoying. I would be happy with them if they just leaked these updates more effectively.
forget about samsung, that's what is great about xda, you can get early or unreleased versions thanks to all the great developers.
Aigoya, can you post a rom dump for us to mess around with? Then we can see if the standard root will work.

My mac isn't detecting my tablet with the steps that I followed. Pretty sure this is why people have been avoiding macs when rooting. I'll have to find a windows computer... somewhere...
Just download terminal emulator that's how I did to get a dump a dev required once
So just type your commands on terminal emulator and then just connect to your mac via remote wifi to extract the file and done
You don't need adb

Well, I'm avoiding root right now as I know that booting in recovery mode for the korean models has scrambled/unstable screens.
I attempted to pull the system from a windows computer but the PC wouldn't read my tablet. I dled the usb drivers from samsung page model for the model GT-P7510MAVXAB. (I couldn't locate any usb drivers from the Korean samsung m380w page. It only has a manual). And it wouldn't read the tab =|
Thanks for the attempts brother. Task650 posted up his 3.2 rom in the development section.
or should we use KFU 0.9. I ask because IMHO, this forum has the most confusing series of threads on rooting/recovery/TWRP installation that I have ever read.
Without meaning to be disrespectful to the valiant efforts of the devs, I informally count at least ten times the number of posts stating issues as for successes and every time I check, there is yet another "method" for unbricking or installing, etc...particularly for the notorious yellow triangle.
Could one or more mods please clean up this forum to provide a guiding light.
BurritoRoot is the only software root method available, so yeah, it's relevant. KFU uses it to perform the root, it doesn't have its own exploit or rooting method. It was created to make common tasks more convenient, so it compiles all kinds of different functions into one application. There's nothing in KFU that can't also be done manually (as far as I know), but it can sure makes things a hell of a lot faster.
kfu .9 seems to have a serious problem with the recovery image that is part of the zipped file. It is an 8 kb file. It is the wrong file. The correct file is 10,624 kb.
If you are going to use the script, then for goodness sakes copy the proper .img file into the Recovery directory. If you need help finding it, it's at:

I agree 100% the kindle fire forum needs better flow and direction showing people exactly what needs to be done if you want to root and flash Roms on a brand new fire. I see things like burritoroot, twrp, kindle fire utility v.9 , ext... what do we do first?
Sent from my Kindle Fire using xda premium
You do realize that the kindlefire utility is just a script which grabs the various pieces to do the rooting?
In the batch file (which makes up the kindlefire utility)
Code:
set twrpurl="http://techerrata.com/file/twrp2/twrp-blaze-2.0.0RC0.img"
Which IS the correct twrp install image...
Also, the website for the TWRP project was down a lot of the day, so perhaps you tried it when it was down and got a truncated corrupt file?

I agree with the others as far as the rooting of the Fire has become mass confusion. Ever since 6.2.1, there has been no "sure way" of rooting this firmware. There are several "guides" and "official ....", and personally, I'm not sold on any of them.
I was rooted prior to the 6.2.1 update, and I'll stay unrooted until a new root procedure is given that has a better success rate than the other 10 procedures posted.
Personally, I think only a MODERATOR should be able to title a thread as "Official".
This is my official opinion.

You are mistaken, BurritoRoot is a sure way of rooting it, it is 100% effective at what it does. It restarts adbD as root.
It is an official thread, as it's mine, and I wrote the damn thing. Other people were making threads about it. I asked a moderator to sticky it so people would stop using the threads started by un-associated people.
As far as 10 procedures, I have only seen 2. One using a factory cable/hardware hacking and Burrito root.
the other 8 or so are just people telling you how you can use BurritoRoot.

Burrito Root is relevant because... its the only way to root 6.2.1 without using a factorycable, or doing hardware hacking.
If you read/watch KFU you will see he is using a custom version of BurritoRoot I wrote for him.
KFU uses a version of BurritoRoot Jcase wrote specifically for me out of generosity to make KFU relevant again and help people out.
My tool is not to take away from what jcase does, but rather take what he has given us, and try to make things better.

I do not believe that burrito root is the problem at all, in my opinion this is very str8 forward way of rooting. I think that the real problem that this thread was started over is people trying to install twrp & firefirefire. So many people keep getting stuck in a boot loop, and is very hard to follow what the problem or the actual fix was. There should be a new thread started stating the official way of installing twrp, firefirefire, and cm7. Honestly to stop the confusion completely a video of one doing it step by step would be the best resolve for this. jcase did an amazing job with burrito root and is NOT the problem at all so to answer the question is burrito root relavent? It is not only relavent but the only and easiest way to root!!! Keep up the great work jcase

A great way to show your thanks to a developer that uses his time to make our lives a little easier is by donating to them a little goes a long way, and really proves to the dev that they are and should continue to keep up the fabulous work... I will not link jcase's donation link in this post because I am not aware what the rules are on that but I am sure if you have all found his root then finidng the donation site is not far from that..!

The thing is BurritoRoot is just for one thing, starting adbD as root. Everything after is entirely unrelated, and had nothing to do with me. I haven't even laid hands on a kindle fire yet so I can't even comment on any of it, nor do I know the specifics.
With OSX I believe you can just run adb from developer.android.com as root without any system changes, if its like linux.

I rooted my Fire yesterday using a Mac and it took hardly 2-3 minutes. All the commands are same as given in the thread at rootzwiki. Just fire up terminal after setting up adb. Nothing special needed. No drivers or changing usb.ini needed. It detected Kindle fire right away. Works without a problem.
Big Thanks to all the developers here and all there hard work. The work that has gone into the Kindle Fire in such a short amount of time is Amazing.
I first looked at the title of the thread and thought - is this guy on crack? But I thought about it and with the updates and different root method the forum is pretty confusing, especially if someone just got a Kindle Fire over Christmas and just showed up here. I am rooted and using the secured pre-rooted 6.2.1 boot image Not the OTA and I am not sure what to do to prepare for the next OTA.
I think it would probably help if someone(I'd do it but I am a bit confused, too) did a short "START HERE TO ROOT thread. Something like"
6.2? ---- rooted? -------- Go here
unrooted? ------ Go here
6.2.1? ---- unrooted OTA? ------------------ Go here (KFU - FFF/TWRP/Burrito)
pre-Rooted Boot image ------- Go here/ do nothing?
... just a suggestion

You should be asking that question yourself, can you do it? The answer is, out ofy knowledge, yes. I would suggest, the easiest way I know. VulirtualBox, install windows on it and then root it from there. Also, which version of android do you have on your kindle? If it is 13.3.2.2 then there is no written exploit at this time, but if you have 13.3.1 then you are in luck! Go ahead and read the earlier posts on this section of this forum.
Yes, look at the how to root Kindle Fire ND with Mac/Linux thread in the 7" Kindle Fire HD (not HDX) General thread to get started with setting up your Mac for rooting. The download in that thread will not work for the box but the procedure will. It may seem complicated but it's worth working through. Also see http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1917237 for a how to on setting up ABD on a Mac.
As stated above a root exploit currently exists only for the earlier version of Fire OS though it appears that progress is being made on the current version for the 7" HDX.
