This is my first post on xda, but I'm shadow thunder on htcmania the Spanish site, hope you enjoy this but I'm not a developer, so let's get started. You need to root your phone with Kingroot very easy after that just follow my step to replace Chinese root with Super Su. Let's start, here is a small script to remove Chinese kingruser, released by Mr.W0lf thanks for your great work. . This script will do all the work for you without using PC, just by terminat al, first of all, thanks to chainfire for his SuperSU files. download link to terminal emulator https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=jackpal.androidterm&hl=en ok.Before starting :
POST UPDATE WITH PHOTOS OF MY WIFE XPERIA TABLET Z TODAY Y UPGRADE THE TABLET TO LOLLIPOP AND ROOT WORKS
Steps :Root the device with Kingroot, install terminal emulator unzip the zip change Kingroot to super su to internal storage of your device, the folder name is mrw
then Open Terminal emulator and type :
Su
Allow root permission
Type :
sh /sdcard/mrw/root.sh
It might display some error, at the end it will launch supersu or open supersu manually.
Update su binary normal, then REBOOT . JUST DOWNLOAD KINGROOT I PUT IT HERE IN ENGLISH
DONE YOU HAVE SUPER SU NOW WITHOUT BOOTLOOP THIS IS MY FIRST POST ON XDA SORRY IF IS NOT LIKE OTHER DEVELOPER BECAUSE I'M A ORDINARY GUY WHO LIKE TO MAKE THINGS EASIER AND HELP OTHERS IF YOU LIKE MY WORK ONLY HIT THE THANKS BUTTON
I put the zip with replace the kinguser for people who can't download from mefiafire
Nice work bro @edwuard.. Keep it up..
unable to update su binary? always failed.. is there sone workarounds?
Follow the steps bro, install Kingroot, root then install terminal and unzip the zip in phone internal memory the folder name is mrw and then type Su Allow root then type the sequence and then wait and supersu start and tell you to update binary and reboot it works great bro something u did wrong

You need to type this sequence sh /sdcard/mrw/root.sh if you cannot type it won't work is sh than space than / stop telling don't work because it works great and the super su open after the script did his job on terminal and open itself and tell the binary needs to update I don't know what you do because the binary after update them the phone reboot bro keep reading and then do it is very easy even a child make it is very easy
Really nice, work great, thanks you so much ^^
for some reason this didn't work the 1st time around, i had kingroot already installed from before, and it wouldn't update..
so i uninstalled SuperSU (which already removed Kingroot) and installed the Kingroot version in this Post (OP) and tried again...and it worked perfectly...
so for every one to be safe use the KingRoot APk in the attachment on the 1st post .
very good work...thanks m8...
i have a question though,,,can i update this to SuperSU pro???
Edit
Yes it can be updated to Pro.
Works fine! Thanx!!!
Great work mate!!!
@milocj by devSXSTeam
Works a treat and so simple!! Wicked stuff Dev!!
it works like a charm bro
the first time i tried, it was not worked as it suppose to be. kinguser notified that the service was in error or something like that. and i tried to reboot. (prev. I got original kingroot straight from the dev, not from the op's), i got bootloop
but i got 2nd chance, (after getting bootloop, i reflashed with the stock rom, without deleting any cache or data), after my deviced booted, i downloaded everything from attachment. and did what the op said, exactly. and it workssss
Thanks
addition,
btw. i lost my root access, how do i gain the access? do i have to install the kingroot again and root the device? i am a bit kind of new in rooting. as prev, i never played rooting before. i was scared. was...
oppsssssss...
my bad, i forgot to delete something, so i thought the root didn't work previously. so i can say this method works 100%
now, I got root access.. thanks OP
Let the post clean bro you have Q A to make questions about the root please any questions in Q A thread
Doesnt work for me ,ive tried a lot of times ,i get this and SuperSu doesnt update

Has anyone gotten their fascinate rooted after the OTA Update? I uses to use z4Root but.this is no longer working. It goes rhough the steps but none of the root apps can get super uswr access. I prefer one touch as I dont feel comfotable typing in all the commads for it to be hooked up to the pc
Dirrk's EZ Root v0.2
I was able to edit the START_ROOT.bat file in Dirrk's EZ Root v0.2 so the it would pause for 120 seconds instead of 60 seconds after the first phone reboot. Then, after the reboot, unplug the USB from the phone and reconnect it. I'm not sure if this will work for everyone, but it worked for me.

there is a 1 click guide on i believe android central that is very easy. all you do is plug in your phone to a cpu download the .zip and open a file, then leave your phone alone for about 5 minutes and its done. it worked for me when z4 failed.. that was the first time i used anything other than z4 and was a little concerned but it was as easy as z4.. if not easier seeing as that z4 caused my phone to lock up a few times while it was in the process
EDIT: Here is the link.. you will need to register at android central to get the file but its very easy.

This worked! I did do two things as it would error in the beginning. I changed the pause time in the file on the reboot to 120 seconds instead of the 60 as suggested in one post and I had to unplug my usb cable and plug it back in after the first reboot. Easy none the less, thank you!
Okay...it wont let me edit cause im a newb. The root worked or so I thought but now when I run Titanium backup it says it cant acquire root access. Any Ideas on this anyone?

Check and see if you have the Superuser app in your apps list. If not, download it from the Market, and then see if your apps that require root access work or not.
Yes I have the super user APP. The apps are just saying they aren't getting root access. They are in the list as well.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=803682
this worked for me, i used it last night
I was working on this last night. Z4root installs su to system/bin, while the 2nd root method installs to system/xbin. The ota changed the file permissions for su, but left the file in tact. That's why the one click mod will say your rooted (it sees the su file), but apps won't have root access.
I had to go old school and chmod the su file in system/bin rebooted and got root access again.
For anyone that used a one click root method like z4 root, and still hasn't done the ota update un root the phone first!
On the road but I will post instructions on how I re-rooted in a few hours as well as the specific files needed.
*actually from what I recall, any files needed are included in the one click root mentioned above.

**Follow instructions in this post http://forum.androidcentral.com/526222-post739.html
except, when you get to the portion that says
cd /system/xbin , replace that with cd /system/bin
(I believe only z4root users that did not unroot need to change this, or anyone who has su copied to their /bin directory without the root.)
everything is exactly the same... It's much better linking the post than copying the info again.

Hi all!
First off, I'm new to xda Developers so please excuse me if this is in the wrong forum! I thought I'd post information about a tool I wrote here which roots stock 4.0.3 leak on the A500, A501 and assumingly the A200 too. Its literally one click - just enable USB debugging. "ICS Root" also installs, optionally, FaceLock and Trebuchet (although FaceLock doesn't want to work. It lets you set it up though =P)
Since version 5.0.1 this also now works with the new 0.022.00 leak!
The full post is over at TegraOwners: http://forum.tegraowners.com/viewtopic.php?f=30&t=350
The only real system requirements are Windows (with .Net Framework 4) and an Iconia on the stock 4.0.3 leak. I hope somebody finds this useful its been tested by myself and a couple of TegraOwners users and it works well.
In terms of the technique used, it uses the great Jay Freeman's mempodroid exploit to gain root at which point it mounts /system rw and installs su, busybox and Superuser.apk so no real surprises there. Installing Trebuchet adds that apk to /system/app and installing FaceLock installs the apk to /system/app before installing the pittpatt folder to the flexrom (mounted as /system/vendor). I plan to open source it when all the requested features have been implemented and the code has been cleaned up.
Thanks!

why would it not work with cwm version?
With this tool does system remain writeable after rooting?
What about flashing CWM with acer recovery installer once rooted? I guess it would screw the bootloader...

If you are on the cwm with the HC boot loader it should work as Its Magic will be run..
if you are on the new boot loader as in the full non modded leak.. It will give you secure boot error ..
The new boot loader Blocks its magic.

Hey this worked easy. I had to re-install USB drivers and make sure I had the latest from Google. Other then that, hit the button, wait about 1.5 minutes, and it rebooted! No problems thus far! Thanks Again!

After reading the other post, I have found that I cannot write to the system directory from the device itself. The folder attributes indicate that it is set to write, however File Explorer HD will not let me. I have tried to create a folder in the /system and it will not accept the addition. The strange thing is that Root Check says it is rooted, File Explorer HD accepts putting it into Root Explore, but that is it. It is odd. I will try to reapply the Root to see if that makes a difference.

Please, read the op before bringing this up. This method is for half root, its the only way possible right now on stock leak ics. There is a special script you need to use to mpunt system. You can find it in the stock leak thread, run it in terminal or use rom toolbox and set it as a script to run at boot because rebooting loses write privileges.

Version 3 came out this morning
It features some bug fixes as well as a completely new remount menu which mounts /system rw properly on the fly. Tested with a busybox installer app
Enjoy!
Thanks for your tool blackthund3r !
I tried it with the new leak from this morning and it doesn't seem to work anymore
Edit :
Just to be a little more specific, the app says the process was OK and state that the tablet is rooted but the tablet doesn't reboot by itseld and su is not installed. I tried to install su manually but it's unable to find a previous su package on the system.

ah okay it appears a completely new leak has been released. It is possible that the mempodroid exploit has been patched up. I'm gonna look into it soon. I can't much tonight - I have school work. I'll see what can be done and what the differences between leaks are.

EDIT: mempodroid hasn't been patched See ICS Root v3.1
Hi blackthund3r
Thanks for the update 3.1 but could you please fix the problem on your hosting website? clicking on this file send to an error warning.
The other files can be downloaded though.
can someone post a mirror to the 3.1 version? current link is not working.
can somebody also confirm, if i root with this tool, i will be able to reinstall my clockworkmod recovery through 'acer recovery installer' and flash any other cwm rom? or do i have to downgrade to honeycomb 3.01, install iconiaroot for honeycomb and then acer recovery installer?
Gersma,
I'll be able to answer to your question as soon as I'll be able to download this tool and test it.
Hello!
How can one root official 2.3.5 rom without connecting to usb and adb?
The goal is to install custom ICS on U8800 that has no usb port - completely broken and even not charging phone. No warranty and repair cost is close to actual phone cost. So repairing is not an option.
Wireless adb app requires root first - so it is not an option for me also.
Any help is appreciated - I need ISC because I need ipsec vpn which is npt available in gingerbread.
I am ready to test any operation you suggest - I don't fear to brick the phone, need no backups.
It's impossible. I have one USB broken u8800 and that's why I use cm7 (.32) on it.

There is nothing impossible I believe
Maybe we could find the trick - gingerbreak works on some roms - another fine exploit maybe.
I don't know - worth a try I think.
tranced1 I might have 1 possible solution for you. I've rooted my 2.3.5 some time ago and I've done a backup of boot.img.
I remember with froyo we could root it with boot.img "rooted". I bet this won't work on 2.3.5, but who knows right?
If you want to give it a try, I upload that boot.img for you.
EDIT: darn! Totally forgot you can't access bootloader directory without root & damaged usb port
Can't remember another way out... sorry

I believe that you can use terminal emulator and zergrush exploit to root the phone.
The automatic root methods basicaly push the needed files on /data/local change permissions etc... All can be done with linux commands which are available from a terminal emulator. So I don't think that you need the usb cable to root the device. You can try investigate the runme.bat file from doomlord's root method and give the commands manually after you have put the files from files directory on sdcard.

adb can access the phone as root user - from terminal file system is read-only, so even first step permission denied
Yes, you have right about that.
But, check this thread:

the last post.
EDIT:
After reading the discription on first post of gingerbreak, I had another Idea.
Seems that gingerbreak uses sd card to temporary store the necessary for root files. So, maybe you can replace these files(and especially the exploit) whith those of doomlord's root app, before you press the root button, so to use the working zergrush exploit.
This is the B528 root bat script:

@adb wait-for-device
@echo --- DEVICE FOUND
@echo --- reboot to bootloader
@adb reboot-bootloader
@echo --- flash the rooted bootimage
@fastboot boot boot.img

You're problem is in red... you have to flash the exploited boot image. The rest is just installing busybox, su and SuperUser.apk.
You have the stock recovery which allows you to flash .zip files, but they have to be signed correctly and I don't think that's possible.

Thanks for clues but seems there is no way - I cant execute exploit via ssh - permission denied I cant even chmod it.
Gingerbreak completely not working - no files created on sdcard.
Ι didn't find any other way on net. There are several discussions for this problem but not a solution. I think that the only way is to do it for an app. You can contact with the creator of gingerbreak or z4root to ask for it. Also I'll try to make an app myself, but my android developing knowledge is very basic, so don't count too much on this. If I have some kind of success I'll contact you via PM.

Try this mod, and if you are lucky...

No I am obviously not the lucky one
My android development knowledge is zero, so if you can run zergRush from executable area it will be a very good start.
And I want to thank everybody for your support.
So, it doesn't work?
I just updated the file, so give it another try.
Also, check if you have logcat and usb debuging enabled(is needed for other methods, so maybe needed here too)

Logcat: Cannot copy boomsh. : Permission Denied
I will revert to first beta now - and will test if it will work
I suppose this logat message is for z4root fail. Unfortunately I don't know what boomsh is. I just decompiled the apk and replaced the exploit, busybox, superuser, and su files with these from doomlord's root files directory.
So, easy solution didn't work. If I have something else I'll let you know.
EDIT:
I get some info about "cannot copy boomsh"
The exploit creates this file when run. This message appears when this file already exists and needed to be deleted from /data/local/tmp.
I checked z4root-mod on my device(which is already rooted and with ICS custom rom), and I get this message too.
The problem is that this file doesn't exist on my device, so I cannot delete it.
---------- Post added at 04:16 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:17 PM ----------
I read on a forum that these apps(as z4root) run better after a fresh boot. So, install the latest apk(has newer files), reboot the device and run z4root again.
z4root is a froyo root exploit (I think) and seems "dead" for a long time.

Here is how i got it to work without a Custom recovery
follow my steps perfectly
Found these instructions in Italian on how to install without recovery (i edited and translated them to work correctly):
This Guide will show you how to install Xposed Framework on the LG G Stylo with Android
Lollipop 5.1.1 without recovery!
Required:
Root
Busybox installed on the device: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=stericson.busybox&hl=en
Script Manager: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=os.tools.scriptmanager&hl=en
Package needed Xposed Boost Stylo.zip: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24052804347813218
1- Download the package by pressing the link
2- Unzip
3- Put the contents of the folder in the root of internal or external storage of the device (no sub-folders).
4- Install Xposed (the apk is among the file you just put into the device) BUT do not open it
5- Open Script Manager and navigate to the installer file (script) and chose script, su then press save .
6- now select the same script and press run and choose the option according to what you want (Yes/No)
7- Wait for the script to finish, now go to Xposed Installer apk that you installed before and select soft reboot (it will turn off just power back on)
8- After restart and you may use Xposed properly
PS: procedure performed perfectly on Boost LG G Stylo which as you know does not have recovery mod, should work on other 5.1.1 phones
link to the video with his links: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tDInZYNrEr8
and link to original Xposed thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=3034811
Awesome, i'll test this out on my boost stylo. I've been waiting for Xposed for a while. Will report back with results.

Wel now that i look through the steps i forgot to install xposed installer, and i also had to change a line in the script for the framework, after that the script went fine. But now trying to install xposed i get "application not installed", is there something i need to change?

hmmm...try installing it as a system app...like copy and paste it into the system/app folder and fix the permissions and reboot...
Well i pushed the installer into system/app, fixed the permissions and rebooted, and ended up with a soft brick. I think its because i deleted some of the files that were pushed from the zip folder. I'm gonna try to bring it back to life.

Okay try redoing my root method since it's proven to unbrick a certain brick
I tried using that but it gets stuck, i can see my device with adb, maybe pushing something into the system will fix it? A script to push the right files in? If not i pulled my internal storage so i can try a factory reset.

I already tried a factory reset and it didnt work, even it fixed my last brick. Im gonna send it in to lg and see if they can fix it, do i have to hide root or something before sending it in?

I finally got xposed on lollipop (i followed all the steps correctly this time). I had to change the name of the .zip file in the script though, after that the script ran fine. Do you know if gravitybox works on the stylo?

for the most part
does this work on 5.0.2?
I've upgraded to lollipop 5.1.1
But the proplem was to root it
ALL I HAVE FOUND WAS
downgrade and build prerooted zip zip.. etc
But now you don't have to do that
So let's startBy rooting your device you will void warranty
1. do backup for your phone
IAM NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY LOSS OR DAMAGE
2.download the the files we need... Links down
3.go to Setting>security>unknown sources .... And tick it
4. Setup king root and start it
You will notified that there is code in app trying to bypassing android security
Install it any way
5. When finish go to download folder and extract the second attachment to /sdcard/
6.download terminal emulator from here
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=jackpal.androidterm
7. When install open it then get root permission
Code:
su
Then
Code:
sh /sdcard/mrw/root.sh
And you will have root with supersu
If you want to keep kingroot
Skip from step 5

Last time I tried it only works on 5.0.2 unless kingroot updated and now you can do 5.1.1 too
Confirmed
Tested and worked for Xperia z1 lollipop 5.1.1 fw. 368
Worked for me.
First link was deleted by google. I tried with the kingroot apk from their site, but it didn't work with that.
EDIT: strange, it did work over Mobile data but not over WiFi. I am now considering you my personal God.

already root with pre-root zip but i wanna try this method, can you mirror kingroot file? because i cant access that file , thanks in advanced.
When I try to put in sh /sdcard/mrw/root.sh it says that the directory doesn't exist. I know it does though. Should I rename my sd card to sdcard? or is there something I'm missing?

Are you using the internal memory, or the external one? If you are using the external, and extracted the zip file there, you need to enter the path on sdcard1. So it's: sh /sdcard1/mrw/root.sh

Ah ok. I read SD card as SD card. Didn't realize he meant internal. I ran it, and it kept coming up with errors that kingroot stopped working. Is that what it is supposed to do? Also now that i have SU on it ( I assume) what next? do I need a specific rom for these? IE I have a telus phone so should I look for a international rom or can I flash any? LOL I am fairly new at Root, and only flashed an HTC M8 but not really sure how to go about the z1. Also is it safe to uninstall kingroot? Sorry and thanks.
