has anyone started to root this device?
i need to gain access to the root folder
It's really annoying, with the bootloader unlocked it's like if Jessica Biel is nude on your bed and saying come here honey,let me have a good time(root me)...but you don't because you don't have the durex

But rooting can't be far away now..... Because I don't think the Durex is sold out in the super market. I actually think they have a special offer...
It's precisely because of the lack of root access that I've held of unlocking my bootloader; I don't see any point of having to erase all my data and setting up my device when there's no pay-off in the form of root and custom ROMs
Yeah well you never know if SE change their minds and cancel the unlocking website
Better get your gift before Santa takes it back
I will try to convince Marc from MIUI to think about the Arc...
I don't think SE will change it's mind, but the longer you wait, the more adjustments you make on your device (well at least I do..). So that's why I unlocked the bootloader as soon as I had my Arc. Even though I had allready played with it. But what the h*ll, now I had to play a bit longer with it. I don't see the problem
They wont change their mind but the downside of unlocking is that you cannot update using SEUS
Hopefully SE will change that if you use stock firmware but have the bootloader unlocked

I don't see where that's a problem : if you unlock your bootloader, it's because you want to flash custom roms, isn't it ?
Who care about stock update when we get better functionnalities and often faster updates with all the leaks with custom roms ?
I need somebody to carry out the following steps on their bootloader unlocked device
1. Enable USB Debugging
2. Run adb and enter the following commands (line-by-line)
Code:
adb shell
su

We definitely need a custom Boot image flashed then!
If only I took Linux courses...

Looks like the boot.img on the WiFi only model is slightly different. Flashed the rooted boot.img file and now I'm stuck at the Dual Core technology screen. Anyone have this available. All help greatly appreciated!
UPDATE
See thread -> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=12432218
Can someone post the stock xoom wifi dump of the boot.img, recovery.img, system.img, and userdata.img in case something happens?
Apparently it looks like its slightly different than the wifi+3g version. Also is the overclocked kernel file working posted by coolbho3000?
i need the answer too... i m comfused.
Alright I have a stock Xoom tablet now Just gotta figure out how to pull the boot.img file off. Any ideas and I'll do it ASAP.
No clue mate. From my knowledge you have to be rooted, or have the SDK on your pc. I think. Neither which are available as of now
So is the wifi only version able to be rooted as of now?
currently, yes. We need a new root method. Well I would not say a new "method" but their need to be some modifications done to the original rootboot img file. Shouldnt be hard for devs

Think for the Xoom it would be from a windows command prompt:
adb shell cat /dev/block/platform/sdhci-tegra.3/by-name/boot > c:\boot.img
I could be wrong but try it and see.

It's actually a Permission issue.
/dev/block/platform/sdhci-tegra.3/by-name/boot: Permission denied
So someone with root needs to run it. Anyone wanna help out? Im not getting mine till tomorrow but by then I suppose you would have yours exchanged

That's actually the catch-22... can't get root because we don't have the right boot.img file. I think it's going to boil down to Motorola releasing a stock one.
If anyone is up for IRC chat - hop onto Freenode and room #Xoom
I can try if someone tells me what needs to be done. I tried copying it over to another folder in root explorer but no luck.
Update: Ran through the fastboot oem unlock in hopes that it would resolve the Permission Denied. It did not.

You'll end up with a (soft)brick
No luck
I also booted into fast boot, tried and still got no permission sometimes and no such directory some times... If some one will walk me through getting the img file I will gladly do so
how can I remove the softbrick, I saw this AFTER I tried to root and now I cannot even turn it off, just sitting on the Motorola Dual Core Technology screen.
ok I also now need to the stock boot.img from a wifi xoom. Can anyone help? I can flash it if someone can provide it please, if not I guess I will go exchange my xoom in the morning.
I sent my tablet off to get repaired after it was bricked. My new version is different when it boots than it used to be. the new build version number on my tablet is " Acer_AV041_A100_1.015.00_PA_CUS1 " and it is on kernel 2.6.39.4+. is this what others have? When i boot it now comes up with 2 acer logos one in the upper right and left. than changes to the normal center acer then android .

This is exactly what I've been waiting to see. If you can get adb up can you paste the output of adb shell cat /proc/cmdline ? The boot loader change may hint at Acer doing some work on the cause of the brick.

Probably do accessing that file to output. You could try adb root then try again but it'll probably deny that too. If you don't want to root that's cool I'll wait to see if I can pay for mine to get fixed then do it when I get it back.

try:
Code:
adb kill-server; adb root; adb wait-for-device; adb shell cat /proc/cmdline
If you are rooted and adb starts as root you shouldn't get permission denied. If you still do get permission denied give output of :
Code:
adb shell ls -l /proc
This will be quiet large, but we really only need to know the specific line like this:
-r--r----- root radio 0 2012-08-12 02:44 cmdline
And make sure that you aren't getting any messages like "Root isn't available in Production builds"
Thanks.

CF-Root is the root for "rooting beginners" and those who want to keep as close to stock as possible. CF-Root is meant to be used in combination with stock firmwares, and be the quickest and easiest way for your first root.
Donate
CF-Root has been available for many devices and has clocked over 17.5 million downloads. This is not even counting custom ROMs that already include it. Don't be a leech, buy me a beer (and use the "Thanks" button!). Imagine if every CF-Root user has donated me $1...
What's installed
- SuperSU binary and APK
- Nothing else, that's it.
Installation and usage
- Download the ZIP file (see post below for link)
- Extract the ZIP file
- Boot your device in bootloader/fastboot mode. Usually this can be done by turning your device off, then holding VolUp+VolDown+Power to turn it on.
- Connect your device to your computer using USB
- Windows:
--- Run root-windows.bat
- Linux
--- chmod +x root-linux.sh
--- Run root-linux.sh
- Mac OS X
--- chmod +x root-mac.sh
--- Run root-mac.sh
- Follow the on-screen instructions - watch both the computer and the device !
Note that if your device had not been unlocked before, this procedure will wipe all your data !
Are you having fastboot driver issues? You can find fastboot drivers in many places, but the easiest way is probably just installing the Android SDK.
Did you see the red Android logo during rooting, but SuperSU does not appear? This may sometimes occur due to left-over files and settings, however, you can usually install SuperSU from Google Play at this stage and it'll just work.
Not included - adbd Insecure
As this CF-Root does not include a custom kernel, adb shell does not have root access by default (you can still get it by typing su inside the shell), nor is adb remount supported, nor will adb push and adb pull work on system files. adbd Insecure can be used to remedy this situation. (No idea what this is about ? Don't worry about it !)

It is made for people who unlock the Bootloader, so you won't loose functionalities, about warrenty - I don't know.
i only need this root ... no one more when TWRP can be run on the nexus 5 ?
I'm tempted to change dpi to take advantage of 4k screen but wanted confirmation if doing so would void warranty. Also how do you change dpi and do you need to be rooted?
Thanks
Any modifacation voids your warrenty
And to edit your DPI you need to edit /system/build.prop and look for a line that says
"ro.sf.lcd_density=480"
(480 part may differ per user or device)
( i believe 4k dpi is 820)

I dont have a Z5 but Sony Xperia devices typically get a working Recovery shortly after release
I have tried pushing superUser through ADB many times logged in as sudo or root and it has been fine.
You can look up guides on "how to install ADB" and how to push "superSu through Adb"
It may be that my Z2's bootloader is unlocked hence why im able to root it so easily but i havent the time to test the fact.

You can change you DPI by running

and reset it by running
adb shell wm density reset
You don't have to root or unlock your bootloader to change screen density.

Yeah the stock launcher won't adapt to the DPI the way you'd think. You could try Nova with the 400 DPI.

Nope. Because you need a pc to unlock the bootloader and to issue fastboot commands in order to install twrp, or install a patched boot.img to facilitate root.
I wonder if those usb-c keyboards would work on this phone....now that you've mentioned this....
I doubt it'll make any difference, but I know you could run adb commands from the OS using a terminal app... But for rooting, I doubt there's an app that can make typing happen in Bootloader Mode...
