Can you show the source. I really don't trust this, if it works or not. Can we see the code. I put together code from other known Devs. The package seems shady, just saying. Anybody else install this?

It's a pretty popular rooting tool use among people how lack knowledge of Linux. Btw I rooted mine use the same tool, and I'm chinese too. We don't really know what exploit they use but it seems to work pretty well.

I would like to know what exploit they used. Hold onto that for a future root. That is what I'm really interested in.

I didn't since this was the first post by someone just claiming it works without any source code or proof. I have to agree with you that this seems shady.

It's a very popular root tool in China that made by a company. I tested it OK and here to share with you. Can't get any code.

The best and quickest method to root.
joetech1989, Thank you, bro!!!
Your method really works fine.
Very easy and fast.

Current version: 13.3.1.0. At first it is necessary to include in settings Enable ADB, then to install adb drivers.

Seems sketchy. So seeing as you only have a few posts...it seems you just joined XDA developers. And you have a root tool but you cannot tell us more about it. I mean if it works then GREAT but most people would want to know what exactly it is that they are downloading..just saying. don't be offended.

This kind of reminds me of the whole fiasco with Kango root, which was secretly sending peoples IMEI numbers to a server in China, even though the dev claimed to be from Canada. It was a very easy to use program to root many different phones but was eventually pulled from XDA because of security concerns. It was/is sending 'sensitive' data without encrypting it and then also sent the IMEI as well. It also connected to the internet to download 'drivers' so a virus scan was not of much use for Kango Root. That is a completely separate program which was posted by a different XDA member.
Just to be clear... I am not at all inferring the original poster has malicious intent or has posted a malicious tool. I am merely explaining why some would view it with such skepticism especially in light of previous events. I don't yet own a Kindle Fire HDX, so, I don't have to make the difficult choice of choosing which way to root the device. Virus Total reports the files as being clean, but, that does not always mean it is safe, especially if something is downloaded once the file has been executed.
If you could shed some additional light on the tool it would likely help to put a lot of people's minds at ease.

What is the company's name in China and do they have a webpage that we can see and get the root tool from?

Yes ,it works. maybe they use exploit we get it on XDA.

[Q] AVG Rooted Anti-theft, does it trip Knox?

Hi,
I'm trying to find out if I can install the AVG Anti-theft (free, rooted) app without tripping knox. It wants to either do a direct write or have me flash a update.zip in case I don't have NAND access (S-OFF). Do I? Anyone tried this? I like AVG's Anti-theft and it's free. Just wondering if I'll screw up my device flashing it. I haven't found anything via google. TIA.

This is a good question actually. I just rooted my Note 3 using Knox and USB 3.0 last night for the first time. I had the N3 since day 1 but had no PC to root it. Finally was able to pick up my new PC so I went ahead and rooted just being excited I was able to. But now that u mention it, before rooting with Knox I was using the paid version of Lookout mobile security and I thought when I rooted it would have wiped my phone completely but I still had all my apps. Needless to say Lookout was still installed and is still working after root without issue so far. Wether or not I tripped Knox idk? I did get the pop up asking me if I wanted to disable Knox after rooting which I said yes to, but at the time I wasn't even thinking about the fact I had Lookout installed. Like I said no issues so far, but if I tripped the counter or not I do not know? I'm not sure how u check even?

You can check by booting into download mode with vol down + home + power i believe. It will say know 0x0 or 0x1. Interesting that you were able to install Lookout. Which method did you choose? was their an option? I'm using AVG, which lets you do writes to protected areas which is why I made this thread...

I honestly don't remember what permissions or method I chose with Lookout on my N3. like I said I installed the premium version before rooting and it just ended up staying on the phone. Only reason I was even using Lookout was because I recently picked up the Z1s on my T-Mobile line and it came with the premium service of Lookout for free so I figured what the hell and installed it on my Verizon N3 as well. I'm sure whatever method I chose was just the method Lookout suggests by default though. I'll have to try n check n see if I tripped it or not and I'll let ya know.

how to root and unlock 183.46.15

Is there any way to root my phone.
The system version is 183.46.15.

If your boot loader is locked, no.

Nope. Sorry. Both bootloader and root are patched.

Devs @ XDA, come on champs gave us something, so can we also enjoy the privilege of CM12. Many are waiting for it fingers crossed
Mods/all, its only a humble request to Dev & not that if being annoyed.

Qualcomm patched the second layer (sbl2) of the second-stage bootloader, to take care of possible exploitation, effectively making it impenetrable. So for some individuals, we're pretty much out of luck. I wouldn't be sure of the possible exploits (the problem is, after that patch, it makes it even harder, although not impossible). Previous Kit Kat rooting exploitation relies on the permission requestion layer (futex) of the Linux kernel, as discovered by the former PS3 hacker, GeoHot, while it's patched by now. It's possible there is already a new rooting exploit by now, just don't hold the breath.

Can you please be more concretely?

I may not be up to date, been out of town for a bit, and figuring out a way to unbrick a few RAZR Ms.
However, the reason I said not to hold the breath is because of Verizon demanding a hard fix for rooting so that way almost any root exploits simply fail on arrival. This phone company also WANTS locked BIOS so no one can install custom recovery and OS "just because it put customer services in jeopardy".

That's really bad, can't believe that there is no chance to root or bootunlock this device.
By the way, do you know any way to disable/delete/freeze modem fast dormancy service without rooting phone? Or to made some changes in build.prop file?

Simply force close Modem fastdormancy first then disable it in app manager, it will then quit. And, editing build.prop requires root (write protection).

Force close works but disable button is inactive.
Sent from my XT907 using XDA Free mobile app

Ah, right.... I wonder why Verizon would disable some app manager features.

I'm outside of us, my carrier operates in gsm network and does not support fast dormancy, therefore phone reboots and can't wake up on power button when using h+. Thats why I need to edit build.prop and to dothis I need root access to file system.
Sent from my XT907 using XDA Free mobile app

Makes sense. However, I may look for new exploit, but since Futex is removed, it is not so simple.

Dr. Mario, are you developer?

Not officially, yet. But I know how the software works underneath the pretty UI, even down to the machine codes. I have been modding Android for 3 years.

S7 Kingo Root

Does anyone know if this is legit and fully working?
http://www.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s7-root/
And can someone confirm it's not full of spyware etc. I've never heard of them before.

Supposedly Kingoroot & Framaroot are risky to use, so I would wait a bit more for a more "official" way to root it

So is the link an advertisement that the Kingo people sponsored? I don't see the ability to comment on that page so if its not legit there's no way to know (except for posts like this in a separate part of the site) which would then beg the question, why was it allowed to be posted?

I have tried this three times on my Verizon Galaxy s7 edge, and it failed all three times. First time it froze at about 20% and the other 2 times it got to 100% but said it failed at the end.

Naw dawg. Wait for the devs to release a legit root method. Stay away from this noise.

But the advantages of Kingroot are plentiful.
According to the OP here on XDA, "KingRoot is an amazing tool for 'lazy people'"
It sends unspecified information from your device to a Chinese server
It roots your device using exploits potentially making it more vulnerable
It makes changes to /system and allows you to make further changes to /system, sometimes putting noobs in really awkward situations that are hard to get out of--they get de-noobified
Edit:
XDA finally took down the link to the Kingroot guide that didn't work:

QuadRooter Vulnerability?

Looks like there's a new vulnerability that is able to achieve root through a couple security holes.
Ran the Quadroot scanner app on my galaxy s7 edge PD8 and it does show its vulnerable to this.
From what I've read, this malware can achieve root just by installing it like any other Apk app.
Would it be possible for Devs to purposely download the malicious malware and make a working towelroot like root method for our devices?

These are no more dangerous than any other kernel exec vulns, and alone wont offer you anything. These will not unlock the bootloader, allow you to flash supersu, or let you change system.

So if you can't change the system, then why should anyone be worried about this? Sounds like if we can't use these to access the system, neither can malicious attackers unless I'm missing something.
