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.

And doubt you rooted first since this suddenly appears 2 days after it was first rooted here on XDA from our great jcase.

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.

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.

Well, it says "tested on device" and is from 9/4, before the device was even unavailable. I'd be careful that apk isn't something more.

Yeah that's also the reason why I decided not to download it, I'll just wait till someone @ XDA finds a way to root the device. It's not like we'll die because our device isn't rooted for x weeks/months.

Weeks/months?! I would die! It's been a day and the amount of things I can't do is driving me nuts!

If you have an unlocked boot loader see what I say at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=55709585. If you don't I think you'll be waiting for a while - someone needs to find an exploit and write the app/code needed to exploit it. This has become increasingly hard as Android has become more secure - before Towelroot AFAIK the Z1/Z2 was not rootable for a long time. You'd probably be waiting a similar length of time for the next big root exploit.

Would it not be helpful to contact Sony themselves? They're increasingly developer friendly, these days. Maybe they'd be willing to offer pointers to root app developers?

Well I know people at Sony and long story short: if you want root unlock the boot loader. Its as simple as that. You have to understand that while a root exploit looks nice to tinkerers its also a serious security issue which must be fixed - that is why many root solutions also patch the exploit they use after using it.

Does unlocking the bootloader require wiping the phone? I know this is required on the nexus phones. If it requires wipe then its the very first thing I'm doing once I get the phone out of the box.

I'm aware of this ... but on the one hand being one of the few if only manufacturers to provide official unlocking for the bootloaders (with the obvious intention of spurring development etc), but on the other actively closing non-simple (i.e. ones requiring a dedicated program) root 'exploits' would seem a little at odds. Is it really that black and white? You'd think it might be in their interests to provide an official complex / secure rooting method.

Your statements contradict themselves. Rooting without unlocking the bootloader needs a security flaw. How can any method which leaves a security hole be secure?
Bootloader unlocking gets around this by letting you control the boot partition of the device so you can disable the "security barrier" that android provides. This is a choice you are explicitly making which is why it is the only "secure" way to root.

I've read some people saying that unlocking the bootloader causes you to lose your DRM keys which apparently would affect software/ camera issues?
Can anyone verify this?

This is very true. On the z1c I neglected to back up the TA partition. And apparently lost native mirror cast and some camera features when I rolled the device back to stock.
Back up your TA partition before unlocking BL.

Root for Verizon?

I just got this phone (coming from an unlocked rooted VZW S5) and I'm pretty bummed out not seeing any root guides for this specific version (I know Verizon rooting is spotty). Can someone point me in the right direction?

Don't think this will happen, all of the devs basically have Pixels.

Nope. Root most likely will not happen.

Spotty is being optimistic...

Honestly, I wouldn't hold my breath with Nougat out... Only possibility to me right now would be hoping that Verizon released unlock codes to Moto like they did for previous X devices... But that won't happen for at least a year.

From what I've read that toggle is only a 2ndary safety toggle. You still have to submit to Motorola to get an unlock code and Verizon has forbidden it.

Interesting find Possible Eng bootloader firmware?

So I have not been able to obtain this firmware but figured I'd share to see what you ladies/gents could figure out.
http://www.romup.com/search?version=G950USQU1AQCF
Also there is a thread in general discussion and questions section regarding an All_OYN_G950USQU1AQC8 firmware.

idk, seems pretty fishy to me, every I link I see is to pay to download sites for this file. You would think that there would be somewhere online where its free. Probably a bogus download.

lots of scams out there
Sent from my SM-N930F using XDA-Developers Legacy app

I actually paid for a damn firmware this morning All_OYN_G950USQU1AQC8 and received the download from sams-eng.com . Later however I found it for free. Oh well. Haha.

Can you link it please! Where did you find the free one?

I found the free one for the 955 and 950 i was able to find the unlock bootloader option through it not sure if it will work. Was more interested in the boot.img

Not saying it isn't a scam, but romup is actually a fairly reputable site. People posting leaked firmware all the time straight from the factory. A few other Asian sites like this one have some juicy stuff, not just for Exynos/other unlocked loader models. So don't discourage it, translate it and see what they have to say and maybe even test it. I personally don't want to take the risk with my phone but someone kinda has to. Anyways, done with my little rant.

Im working on this right now. Give me a little bit had a kid last year so im trying my best to get this done right now while i have time.

Wait so do you have a copy of that firmware? I can't obtain that one bc I have no way of paying in yuan.

Also is there a way to flash a firmware where root is natively in the firmware? I always thought we had to unlock the bootloader and root and then flash recovery. Unless it was the recovery that always tripped knox.

Hi Br3w3r,
I just wanted to say thanks and ask you a little about how you coerce these engineering firmwares to allow root mode. Do you reverse engineer it? Just curious.

Found a newer version of ODIN and enabled the grayed out buttons. Maybe it could help?
ODIN 3.12.7 with UMS and USERDATA already enabled: https://mega.nz/#F!8WxRwDwa!seZLQVSoWTrz2CJkbdxTkQ

Interesting... so if I am reading this right. Someone is trying to work on snapdragon now?

I have purchased a copy of the firmware posted by the OP, although it was bought off of a different website. This is a factory binary, that has SElinux as permissive, OEM unlock says it unlocks bootloader, etc

Frendly reminder to unlock your bootloader

If you intend to do basically anything with this phone I highly recommend unlocking the bootloader and leaving it in that state always. Especially do this before accepting any kind of beta ota because you might not be able to roll back without bootloader unlock. Do not for any reason try locking your bootloader again unless a rom you are using specifically says to do so like Copperhead or you may end up semi or hardbricking your device. Having and leaving your bootloader unlocked also makes it possible to recover from almost every single possible problem that can arise with the device on a firmware/os level.

Yes,
Recent Non Beta OTA Update also Ruined the Phone. Since the Device was Locked it turned into a Useless Brick Now.
So its Strongly advisable to keep the Developer Mode on with USB Debugging ON and Allow Boot-loader Unlock Option ON at-least.

A misparsed or improperly fetched OTA can semi-brick a phone yes. It can also happen when the manufacturer or carrier push a broken update. Both scenarios have happened many times with lg and Samsung phones for example
