What is the best method you guys are using to Root the Zuk?
Thanks
I want to know too, i've decided to root the phone, but since i have no experience on rooting a phone i would really appreciate a definitive method.
I found 2 links:
http://guideroot.net/how-to-root-zuk-z1/

Kingroot didn't work for me.
If someone can help please do xD

Bro, your Sig says youre running CM13 - Im on the pre-installed CM12.1 so will that make any difference?
By the way. what extra features does Rooting give to the Zuk?
Thanks!

Yes now I'm on CM13 but I did my root on COS 12.1 before, KingRoot works on both ROMs for me.
Yes, for me rooting gives a lot as I'm using Xposed modules like Amplify and Greenify and some other nice software, but if you don't find it useful don't do it Read on internet what ROOT gives, it's not useful for everybody, but for me is essential.

Hey guys,
I've managed to root my Z1 with KingRoot. Just wanted some confirmation that if I install twrp and unlock the bootloader there should be no problems flashing a custom rom right?

Hi guys,
I have been trying to root my device for 2 days, with no success.
I have tried 2 different Windows computers, just to make sure that I wasn't making any mistake with the drivers. The problem is that I never get to see my device when I launch the command "adb devices". Developer option is activated, ADB modeas well, OEM unlocking as well. Driver installed (Google generic one and tried also ZUK USB drivers 1.0.5), I get to see 3 devices in System Properties:
- under portable devices
E:\
Z1
- under ShenQi ADB Devices
android ADB interface
Can anyone suggest what should I do?
I don't get the RSA Authentication authorization request from the device once I plug it in....
Really no idea of what to do. Should I try kingroot?
Thanks in advance
Marco

Use the tool in the link below and follow instructions. It will do everything for you and install a custom recovery and let you install su.
Would recommend uninstalling all previous USB drivers and start again.

Finally 370 is rooted easely and whitout risk
Just connect tab and run install.bat
(and remember to have USB debugging on)

Edit: dunno if its just WI-FI or LTE - mine is wifi only, and got root - but just try if exploit dosent apply to adresses determined for, nothing happes! tried it with several other versions, the push file just dosent work then - so no harme can happen
Is it for WiFi version only??
waiting for LTE version ....
Thread Moved
Thread is moved to General Forum.
Reason;
Not original development but only a link to a tool created by somebody else.
MD
Works perfectly!
It should be noted (for the noobs) that USB debugging has to be activated first on the tablet before connecting to the PC.
will this work with the US 16gb wifi version ?

a n00b question, does Voodoo rootkeeper work in Xperia phones like it does in motorolas. coz samsung phones have this issue with OTA if your rooted.
or if the developer of this root tool can also offer a tool to unroot. i dont know much about flashing so please spare me the rants.
if its as easy as the TS described "Just connect tab and run install.bat" then i can get a good night sleep

Sometimes rootkeeper Works some not -depending on firmware/model etc.
But just run 370 firmware and turn debugging on asure your Windows adb drivers Work (recognize device)
And you have root whitout risking any thing
Go for it you Will love it :highfive:
#and plz hit thanks button insted of thanking in post's#
Does this install a Recovery like ClockworkMod?
Worked like a charm. Thanks.
By the way, the rootkeeper app didn't work for me.
And no, it doesn't install a recovery. I guess we'll have to wait for it (or unlock the BL)

anyone rootet the SGP321 LTE model with this method?
Looking at the new Yota phone, will there be any development (root, ROMs, themes etc) for this device?
Has it already begun or are developers waiting?
I am thinking about getting one (the device) so I wanted to know about tweaks I could potentially start with, root being the first.

i have honestly not heard about this device and its looks pretty cool! i cant wait to see what development we might get for it.
I'm also very interested in the Yotaphone
As of now, it is available in Germany.
I really want to get one, I'm just waiting for the first user reviews an especially wheter the phone can be rooted and the reading app FBReader will be re-configured to work with the eink screen.
Hopefully, Framaroot will be able to root the phone and from a comment on FRReader's Facebook page, it seems that the Devs are collaborating with the Yota team to make FBReader compatible.
Good news: FBReader has been updated!
1.9.4:
* Added support for YotaPhone e-ink screen
link to Play Store
hopefully, the first users getting their Yotaphone can try it out and report back
And as FBreader is open source (GitHub), lets hope that more and more devs use their code and calls to the yota library to support the e-ink screen in their apps
Root
According to a Russian Board, the Yotaphone can indeed be rooted throug Framaroot (by using the Gandalf exploit intendet for Qualcomm SoCs)
Source
Lets just hope that the bootloader is unlocked and we can access Fastboot or something similar.
IMO we don't even need full ROMs as the Yotaphone is running vanilla Android that could easily be tweaked throug the Xposed Framework and something like GravityBox
Hello guys, im having my yota phone now!
see attachment,
and i can confirm that i am rooted by gandalf exploit framaroot.
Would def appreciate a review ))

Ok, guys! I've just rooted my Yotaphone. android 4.2.2.
I need big favour now. I can choose only MTP and PTP connection. So far I couldn't found any good soft to mass storage connections.
Can I install any additional soft? For Example: "USB Mass Storage Enabler" was really close to connect "Mass storage mode" but after I choose "Mass storage mode" I don't see MTP connection on computer screen and nothing more.
Disable (uncheck) 'USB debug mode' that might bring mtp back.
Alternatively, freeze the enabler app and see if that brings mtp back.

for Yota 1 i dont know! sorry
i have asked Yota Devices for GPL'd kernel sources and their intention to support Custom ROM development in general, but so far I have not heard a real answer from them, just a link to the developer section on their website. That contains info for app-developers, not ROM development (at least at this moment). Maybe if more people ask, they will release sources, which will help development.
Bootloop after Chainfire 3d driver install
Hello all,
I have successfully rooted my Yotaphone c9660 using Kingo Root. I installed the driver in Chainfire 3d application. After that my phone restarted and entered a bootloop . After reading over forums and got to know that the bootloop happened because of the driver. The solution is to remove the library files using adb on the pc. But that requires a recovery like CWM. I have no CWM because I used Kingo. I dont think the phone also has a default recovery. Can anyone suggest how to fic the issue.
Thanks in advance!

Hellooo.
Is it possible to access the bootloader / download mode in this model? If so then you could attempt to unlock the bootloader, then look around and see if someone made a custom recovery like cwm or twrp. If someone has then you can flash that and attempt what you need to do.
Good luck.

Hello guys, I just bought an LG G2 VS980 like 2 weeks ago and everything was working fine till yesterday, I decided to root the phone to do some tweaks to it and I found some problems that were not there before rooting.
The problems were.
-Slow charing
-Battery Draining.
First thing I did today in the morning was UNROOT the device because I thought the problems would be solved in that way, to my surprise they are still there!!
I tried to put back the stock rom but my phone can't enter into download mode, tried rooting and entering with TWRP and I can't root my phone with the same method again :crying::crying: stump root says "ERROR: Unsupported device" When it is at 13,000.
Is there any way I could go back to stock without using download mode or TWRP?
HEEELP!!!!

Have you tried downloading and running AutoRec instead of StumpRoot? StumpRoot roots your device but doesn't install TWRP. AutoRec will downgrade your bootloader to Jelly Bean and will install TWRP as a custom recovery.

SOLVED
All I needed was to get into download mode, the problem was a combination of usb port + cable. Both my laptop and my desktop only have 3.0 usb ports, but I found a couple of 2.0 ports at the back of the case (the ones that come with the mobo), when I tried with those ports it inmediately entered into download mode .
Now I am using official lollipop (manual OTA) without root
Thank you for all your help d00lz

ROOT on Lollipop is actually possible, russian guide HERE.
Every game I tried worked flawlessly. I don't think I have ever had any problems with that. Also resolution change (to 1080p) helped with FPS. I think 1440p is for Adreno 330 too much.
Hi, how is it possible to change the resolution? Thanks.
i used the lenovo companion app and it shows that i'm rooted. but when i installed the supersu, either via playstore of twrp, it keep asking me to update binary. Any idea what i can do? thanks.

After pressing update? Still keeps asking? I just flashed latest SuperSU (2.46 i think) in twrp and everything works fine.
yes it tries to update then say not successful. needs to reboot. but then the same after rebooting. not sure if it's because i don't have root. i did manage to install twrp and can reboot into twrp.
Then flash latest SuperSU zip in twrp. I don't see a reason why it shouldn't work
hi bro, i tried that, and it really didn't work. I'm also puzzled. downloaded v2.46 from the supersu website and flashed via twrp. the message is successful. but when i open up, it still prompts me to update binary. sigh.

Do you have ROW or chinese version ? Kingroot mobile or destop version ?
I have a chinese model and after lollipop update Gapps not working [ tried a lot of GMsinstaller in vain ] , if you can help me with detailed steps please, I think only after root I can change pemission to gapps in order to work. Tried download and install directly on the phone kingroot v4.5.0.722 and is not working [I am not unlocked the bootloder yet , I am afraid not to brick the phone ].

look dude... i'll be super honest with you. In no android planet will you be able to root your device if you keep a locked bootloader. Get it unlocked first. Does your device have ''fastboot''? because everything will have to start with that.

There are dozens of devices rootable with those one-click generic apps like KingoRoot or Towelroot etc... which doesn't need unlocked bootloader, or even adb/fastboot. Ofc you won't be able to flash custom recovery (via fastboot) and things like that, but essentialy you'll end up with SuperSU installed along with su binary (that's the point of rooting the device, right?).
Before Lollipop firmware update our device was possible to root via those one-click apps.

There are dozens of devices rootable with those one-click generic apps like KingoRoot or Towelroot etc... which doesn't need unlocked bootloader, or even adb/fastboot. Ofc you won't be able to flash custom recovery (via fastboot) and things like that, but essentialy you'll end up with SuperSU installed along with su binary (that's the point of rooting the device, right?).

Honestly to say you are right. I dont know why i was being rogue with you. I think what i should hav said was '' in no android planet would you want to root your device with a locked bootloader''. Reasons being no Nandroid backup restore method.. neither via recovery nor via fastboot image flashing method. Of course taking nandroid backup will be possible e.g using Online Nandroid app, onandroid executable scripts e.t.c. Besides unlocking bootloader only clears your user data. We all know rooting is not a disaster but a window to disaster #BRICK. Think about it.

Kindly provide details of your android version. I mean you could have used some OTA update. Additional information like processor type could be helpful. You could b using an international variant.

Anyway download pdanet for pc... Install it. Have usb debugging on. Check that on developer options on your device. Connect your device to pc then run pdanet to install the necessary driver. (You could also download and use "adb drivers installer.exe for pc as an alternative".
Check your phone screen to confirm the debug promp.
Download iRoot English version for pc.
Install it and run.
Connect your phone with the usb debug still on.
Once your device is detected and name displayed. A button "Root" will appear. Click on it and your phone will reboot if rooting successful.

i tried all roots which are commented here but without success.. i have 5.0.2. -K920_S271_150907_ROW... any idea why?
MOD EDIT @gregbradley
Also, users should be aware that Kingo root sends your IMEI to an unknown IP address in china during the root process, you have been warned. For more information read the whole OP here
Getting ROOT rights to Android 5.0 Lollipop (KingRoot) It is not my work. Taken from a russian forum.
1.Download and install latest version of Kingroot to phone.
2.Run the application and get the Root. Important - do not restart the device, because it can lead to failure in obtaining Root.
3.Enable "USB debugging" and "unknown sources".
4.Install the latest version from the PC XZDualRecovery to get full access to reading and writing to the section System (connect your phone to a PC via a cable, run the install.bat to select a number " 1 "on the screen to confirm a request for superuser)
5.Phone will reboot automatically to recovery. Install supersu.
6.Boot
Files to root.

I've been waiting for a one click root, but everything I'm reading says this is really sketchy and no one is quite sure what it is doing.
Can anyone confirm working on Z3?
For which phone? T-Mobile?

Correct me if I'm wrong, but Kingo root is not the same as this, which is King Root?

Yes they are the same ...
Well, I couldnt resist. I've now got a working root with SuperSU, and have removed all I can find of the KingRoot app.
So far, seems to be working well.
Someone else tried it?

Were you able to remove KingUser and install SuperUser?

Yes I believe so. I have the Kinguser icon in my app draw, but It wont open. I deleted all files associated with King via ES Root Explorer, and cannot find anything.
I still wouldn't recommend anyone else doing this, god knows what information was sent to China upon installing it, but I really wanted root.

I tried that, it needs internet connectivity. However, the reason I allowed this was I understand that this root is based on a Ping exploit, which would need internet connecivity to work.
I figured the risk werent THAT high for me. I dont re-use passwords and no bank details stored on my phone.
Can confirm this method works.
You might want to try going in Airplane mode if you're paranoid for the Chinese. In any case, Kingroot + XZDR + SuperSU 2.49 works perfectly.
It works for me I can confirm now.I have root on lollipop locked bootloader so nice haha ? thanks

Not yet will do tomorrow, now I accidentally cleared the data of kinguser and now any app can't recognize root on my devices although it's installed, it says root denied, but şu binaries are installed, I will try tomorrow the recovery after school, if it really works I will release my ultimate sound mod I'm working since months and ofc I can test it myself and don't need any testers hope the pc cam.recognize the root on my.device and install the .bat files
