I tried a few times in internet cafes but was unable to root this phone, i got my young son a PC for xmas as his old one was broken, it runs windows 10, im wondering if anyone has successfully rooted this phone using windows 10, do you follow the same procedure or anything different?
anyone know at all?
of course, no difference to win8 or win 7, install samsung usb drivers if needed, and use odin to flash custom recovery, then flash su zip, done!
I have rooted mine with same procedures arter suggested in win 10 worked well
it works great too with odin and CF-Auto-Root
thanks folks ill give this a go tomorrow evening if i can drag the young lad off the computer lol

I bricked a brand new verizon galaxy tab! It isn't even mine. it's my brothers and he's going to be pissed if i can't fix it
here is what i did:
i rooted it using z4root from this post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=833953
no problems.
then i downloaded sgs kernel flasher from the market and flashed this file http://gunsforgeeks.com/Tab/kernel/KhasMek.Voodoo.plus.CDMA.Tab.v4.OC.zImage
which i got from this post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=941781
it auto re-booted when done and is now stuck on samsung logo forever! **** me! i can't reboot into recovery, but i can reboot into download mode.
only problem is i have an old mac ibook running osx 10.4 which is too old for hemidall and too mac for odin. for christs sake i can't even get bootcamp or parallels to work on that old of a mac so i can run windows and thus odin.
what can i do? i'd really like to fix this without having to ask my brother to use his newer mac that should let me run hemidall, cause if i bricked his tab he ain't gonna want me touching his computer.
any suggestions? pleeeeeeease
Get rid of your ****ty mac and get a windows based PC/laptop instead obviously, then flash using odin etc.
Also use the search function, there is an endless amount of topics on this exact issue so no need to create a new one just because you are scared your bro is gunna kick your arse.
Oh btw, your device isnt "bricked", I wish people would not use that term so loosely.
You're gonna have to beg, borrow, buy, or otherwise get yourself a machine that'll run Heimdall... don't think there's any other way around it...
Once you do that, do this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=967175
crisis averted
sorry ya'll. you'll have to excuse a noob. crisis has been averted. i borrowed a windows laptop and successfully restored to stock via hemidall. guess i have more reading to do before i attempt to flash a rom on this thing again. didn't think i was such a noob as i've never had such problems flashing all kinds of roms on my vibrant. different devices. chalk it up to a learning experience.

Good to hear you solved the problem. Just out of curiosity what happened when you tried to run Heimdall on your mac? Theoretically the universal binaries I redistribute should run on 10.4+ with any processors architecture supported by OS X (i.e. x86, AMD64 and PPC).
Heimdall requires osx 10.5?
Apparently. That's what it says when i try to open the .pkg file. it says this package type requires osx 10.5 I can run it in windows 7 though. I had to three times yesterday cause i kept soft bricking my device if that's the right way to put it. read read read. i must be missing something. I had clockworkmod recovery and ext. 4 for a second but then froze on the samsung logo at reboot again. had to heimdall my way back and lost it all. back to the drawing board
hi,
im in need of help, i just bought my nexus 7, within the first hour of course i wanted to unlock, root and flash CWM on it, this is what happened, i downloaded the files necessary, went on cmd on my computer and fallowed some simple directions and i unlocked it, the problem started when i couldnt copy and paste the CWM file onto my nexus 7 it just wouldnt copy, so i went to do install the drivers for my nexus 7 on device manager, and my computer sees my nexus 7 as my previous tablet samsung tab 2, now after trying to make it work, my computer wont recognize the device at all,
so im trying to get it back to stock, factory rom when everything was working okay, because i think i somehow renamed the device as my old tablet samsung tab 2, im suprised as it still works fine, however i cant transfer files over, and i cant root because the toolkit program on my computer wont recognize the nexus 7, if there is a simple method to fix this problem or bring my nexus 7 to the way i bought it please do tell, it will be highly appreciated,
Thanx
It sounds like the drivers got messed up.
Get http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1766475
it includes a tool & instructions for fixing the drivers under the "full driver installation guide".
You can also download a stock image here https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images#nakasi
I think uninstalling the previous drivers with USBDview (step 1 in the full driver installation guide) will help.
Note that while it says "guide" it includes buttons for launching included programs and scripts.
Use Wugs toolkit, click on the big button to install drivers manually/automatic I think is how it's labeled.
One of the first step offers a tool to view and delete drivers and it even specifically tells you which drivers to delete to prevent it being misrecognized and/or having conflicts.
Once you've uninstalled those just follow the instructions to install the correct ones. Once they're uninstalled you will see it in device manager as something else until you install the new drivers.

Recently bought a laptop and it have windows 8. Are there any drivers, adb, root method for the Nexus 7 or any other android device for windows 8?
I know the this windows is too new. But I figure as people that make this kind of stuff would update to work on windows 8. Or I would it work If I download them from windows 7?

I've read that there are issues with fastboot on Win8. Specifically when trying to fastboot flash stock images etc. Your results may vary, but I think it's too new yet for the support to be there. It'll come with time, but right now it's been iffy.
There are no issues with windows 8...fastboot works good...refer to this

look at my post there(post 7)
I rooted from Windows 8 yesterday. Had some trouble getting it to boot from pushed images with the toolkit. Worked around it by doing the unroot option to get into CWM, where i flashed SuperSU and it worked great
Hi all.
For the first time in many years of rooting and modifying android devices I seem to of hit a brick wall with this device.
My laptop is running Ubuntu 14.04 and my plan was to root the device using JOdin3, however there is an issue with it and newer Samsung devices as its unable to retrieve the .pit file. I've done some searching and there doesn't seem to be an easy solution.
Someone has suggested running windows 7 in virtual box and using odin, however I have a very slow internet connection and i currently have a 3 hour wait for windows to download, also some people have reported that it doesn't always work.
Have any other Linux users had any luck rooting the Note 4?
Edit 03/03/2015
What an absolute farce, finally managed to get recovery installed using Windows XP in Virtual Box and Odin v3.04.
Can't believe its taken me 24 hours to root this ****ing thing!
I've tried with Heimdall and had the same problem, couldn't generate a PIT file. I had an old Win7 laptop laying around so used that and Odin instead, no problems.
I think I'll just end up going to my mum's and using her Win7 laptop.
I can't believe that such a popular device has no method for rooting on Linux. I've had this phone for 9 hours and I think it's the longest I've used an unrooted device for
Finally got it done, I've put a brief explanation of how I did it in the OP but if anyone wants further info please PM me.
Recently I recovered my device from HardBrick state using MSM8994DownloadTool
After this, my phone is not getting detected by PC. Neither in ADB nor in fastboot. What should I do?
I tried changing ROM but still nothing is happening. Its still not getting detected.!
Can you charge the phone? Also tried a different PC and as well to reinstall the drivers. After recovering OP2 via the tool it should have impacting the OP2 it self, so far this looks like as issue with USB port or drivers within your PC. Also try to recovery it once more, do a rollback via the tool, it may happen that something went wrong at the time you used the tool

Try to do the recovery once again if you already didnt do so. I also suggest to try a different PC to try to connect

I tried different PC's as well. None of them are detecting it. Moreover, I need my phone to get detected to do the recovery. Until and unless it isnt gonna get detected, I am helpless.

I think you could try re-install official driver. Example Guide: http://www.technobuzz.net/oneplus-two-usb-drivers/
Or use AirDroid to wirelessly transfer your file to your phone. And Update it. (BEAWARE: But if you internal storage is wipe, then you will need a Mac or someone else PC to help you. For example, Best Buy or Apple Store.)
Also try to use another cable, it could happen that the cable itself is faulty. Also connect the phone to the PC while is unlocked. Next think allow within the phone MTP.
Go to settings -> storage -> the three dots right upper corner -> activate (MTP)
It worked. Thanks all of you. I Reflashed the OS and it started working. I guess problem was with the OS.
#Peace

Great that it worked for all of yoy, remember if stuck on boot,99% phone is bricked. If something doesnt work after somekind of FW upgrade, probably corrupted and do a clean refresh.
