IF it wasnt for Jcase and Vashypooh.....

Also i would like to thank Vashypool for developing that kindle fire tool which is helping alot of us noobs with this device and thanks to Jcase and vashy for hanging in irc and helping us out with answers to ur questions. I also would like to Thank Vashypool for using teamviewer to fix my bricked kindle, which was completely bricked. Thanks to Jcase for working with me and fxing my pushing SU problem with my root, ty again guys!

One click rooting method in less than 2 minutes

Root your phone without unlocking the bootloader. How? A new application called UnlockRoot does it all for you! Literally, all you need to do is download the UnlockRoot.exe, run it and enjoy your new rooted device. I can confirm that it is 100% working and took about 2 minutes from start to finish.
All you have to do is connect to your computer, enable USB debugging which is accessible through Settings>applications>devlopment>USB debugging
open UnlockRoot.exe and click root, after that it should take the comp. 1 min tounlock then 1 min to reboot then voila you have it rooted! You will then see the superuser app inside your app drawer. I recommend you to download busybox and titanium backup to have full control on your device. I've just rooted my xperia play and my wife's arc s using method. Both of them are running v2.3.4 so this should work on lower versions.
If there will be an instance wherein your device didn't reboot automatically,manually restart your device.

I checked out the site and it doesnt say compatible with Xperia PLAY or any SE phones for that matter. Plus I am already rooted and unlocked bootloader. The site looks a little questionable like maybe the software could be virus filled. I dont know though. Only way to find out would be to try it, and for that I have no reason to. IT show support for the Kindle Fire. Anyone try it?

It's put out by AnTuTu, the same people who do CPU Master. They have a link in the newest version of their app.
Probably uses exact same exploits as superoneclick

First of all that is not my site and i'm not a spammer. I only posted this method in two different forums,the other one is in the android general hacking tips. The only reason why i mentioned the site is because i'm having problems uploading the unlockroot.exe launcher in this thread. As you can see,i'm only a new member and i don't usually start threads. I'm just trying to help because i had a lot of frustrations using other rooting methods. I have a descent job and i'm not gonna benefit in spamming so don't accuse me. I just felt very excited to share this method as this worked like a charm for my xperia play. I'm not forcing you to try this so ban me if you feel like doing so.

I noticed that too but trust me,it worked for my xperia play and my wife's arc s. Both of them are running the latest android v2.3.4 that's why i'm very surprised that it worked. Other rooting methods didn't work for that version so i resorted to doomlord's method but i'm having problems installing the adb drivers as i'm using windows7. I'm so happy using this method because it's very safe,no need to unlock your bootloader. Best regards!

I already uploaded the direct link to the file so you can shut your mouth now. I've been itching to do that right from the start but this site won't allow me because i need to have at least 8 posts before i can attach external link. You're a senior member so you should've known that,think first before accussing me a spammer.

I'm curious, why not post directly to their site, instead of a link to a file host?
No, offense, but if you post directly to their home site, it makes it seem a lot more legit than just posting a link to your download account.

Sorry bro but i already did that when i started this thread. I just edited my post because that d31boy guy is accussing me of being a spammer and just promoting that site.

When I see a brand new poster posting a link to relatively unknown website for use of an unknown exe file, it's hard not to be suspicious. I mean, you obviously know the benefits of root and you know your way around this site. The site has absolutely no mention of how the root is applied (which isn't your fault provided you don't have an affiliation to the site ). It's a pretty big leap of faith.
However, I may have jumped in a bit too quick on this one. It would have been better just to report the post and allow a mod to make a more informed decision. For that, I apologise.

All this method is, is the zergRush method with a different name...
Here's what I did (quick run thought of what i did, attached screenshot for reference)
Downloaded it from the OP's post (http://unlockroot.com was running at 2000BYTES/SEC)
Installed it on my XP partition
rebooted, went to my linux partition
Mounted XP Partition
went to \Program Files\Unlockroot\tools\
Copied rootutility to /home/myusername/
adb shell rm -r /data/local/tmp
adb shell mkdir /data/local/tmp
adb push rootutility /data/local/tmp
adb shell chmod 755 /data/local/tmp/rootutility
adb shell /data/local/rootutility
and got the attachment

[XOOM 2] Xyboard ROOT is here!

Thanks to Dan Rosenberg, he will be posting a 1 click method to Root your Xyboards! And major themer Bignadad will have a Xyboard theme coming soon.
http://www.mydroidworld.com/topic/10487-root-droid-xyboard-root-1-click-method-coming-soon/
ETA: Says will work with VZW Xy's and w/ or w/out OTA's!!!!

Report back when you've tried it with success. That will be GREAT news.

Yea, he has tested on my Xoom 2 10.1 (After OTA) works great. He told me that the method will be possibly be up Friday or Saturday on the blog so keep checking his website.

Worked on mine to. My VZW Xyboard 10.1 was the "before OTA update" it was tested on.
Edit: its out: http://vulnfactory.org/blog/2012/02/17/rooting-the-xyboardxoom-2/

I think thats it, I'm not sure. The package name as you'll see isn't "Motocast.apk"
but its the only thing that made sense since there isn't an apk in there with that name.

Thats definitely it, thank you for sharing!
Now I need to figure out how to get it to work. A simple apk install was a no-go and dropping it in /system/app didn't work either.
Gives me something to do today I guess
Any chance you wouldn't mind doing a titanium backup of motocast and sharing the 3 files?

I can't wait for this. Has anyone tried to unblock the ports that's required to be open to make the tablet work with programs like airplay, wifi explore and file expert to make possible wifi files transfer from my tablet to my linux os? Are there any programs to do that? Probably Droidwall do this , can anyone with rooted device try it ?

yay have root thanks Dan. Have shown my appreciation hope other do as well.
I think this means we need our own forum or at least a sub forum. Next stop that pesky bootloader.
Seperately having trouble with set cpu will not let me clock over 1200! any ideas?

[Tool][ Android L] Moto G 2014 Multi-Tool kit [Testers needed]

Testers needed! Moto G 2014 Multi-tool​ Testers needed!​
Hello my friends, my name is mrtaylor and I am reasonably new to the forums and pretty much a newbie when it comes to things like this too.
bare with me, probably scaring you all off by saying that but I have an announcement!
I've spent the last few hours tinkering away and have come up with four useful tools to help people that are not to familiar with android and need a hand when it comes to modding, rooting, etc.
the tools I have created are not "new" by any means but i have put them all together In an easy manageable folder with everything needed to execute them.
Tools Included​
Root
Installing Custom Recovery
Removing Unlocked Bootloader Warning
Restore Without Data Wipe
These are just a couple to get started and before I continue with the development of these and decide to turn it into a fully fledged executable tool with nice pretty colors and ponies i need a few people to TEST them.
So, anyone interested then please reply to this thread and I will PM you the dl link, i would really appreciated the help and feedback.
these tools are based on the xt1068 build but I'm sure they will work for all models.
Use tool at your own risk, it's in development; MOD EDIT Use of a hosting site requiring an account to download @gregbradley
this thread is also a WIP.

It is very difficult since there is no ROM for MT8163.
First you should start by extracting the device tree and the vendor blobs ..

Ok that's what I needed it is a starting point I will get on that!

After I get the blobs then?
