[GUIDE] Rooting Sprint Intercept froyo 2.2 [06-02-11]

I've successfully permanently rooted my Sprint Intercept with the latest 2.2 froyo on it without installing custom kernels and wanted to share steps I took since there is some confusion and differences.
Original guide link.
Things you'll need:
Root files.
Samsung drivers.
Windows 7/vista/xp 32 bit.
Steps:
Install Samsung drivers
Reboot your PC
Reboot your phone, connect it to your PC with a usb cable
Put your phone in debugging mode (menu->settings->applications->development)
Extract root files to your c:\intercept-root folder (or any folder you wish)
Start windows command line (start->run->CMD)
Change to your "intercept-root" folder
Execute START_ROOT command
Follow instructions
Once done, don't forget to install Superuser apk.

after you rooted it you were able to put a different rom on it right. trying to clear out the garbage that comes on it.

No, this is just simply to root and remove stuff you don't want. I suggest Titanium backup. There is no proper recovery for the intercept that I know of. The one existing can be flashed and it does work but has some issues with what it backs up and what it restores. It's not complete and may create problems.
If you are rooting the latest 2.2 froyo, after removing all sprint apps you are left with true bare stock so there is really no need for anything else. Make sure you don't remove the sprint vm even if you are using google voice. It needs to be on because of system integration.

you mae one error. the drivers can't be installed on windows 7. I have gotten the drivers from the moment to work once but now its nothing. my computer no longer recognizes the phone when i plug it into the computer. which means that i cant root it or anything. sucks and i need serious help.

hmmm, same problem
Find a friend with a XP laptop and use that?
Glad to know - i have failed at rooting my intercept a few times and have been using my windows 7 box. Trying these instructions from a laptop - will report back!

Success
Using nothing but a old crappy dell laptop runing windows XP I was able to gain perma root using the instructions provided here. On my first run of the script the process failed, I simply did what the program told me to (run the script again) and it worked like a charm.
OP - thank you so very much for taking the time to post.
Question for anyone: now that I have root, I *really* want to be able to use my Intercept as a wi-fi hotspot. Can I do this? Where do I start?

No errors. I got drivers under Windows 7 working but I clearly said it has to be 32 bit as 64 does not work. Check your version.

Download wireless tether app. I've had troubles with it in the past so if that one doesn't work try Barnacle.

how to flash cmo1 custom recovery after phone is rooted?

Just throw intercept root on sdcard and run
All I had to do it throw the root on the sdcard. Run it from the file manager, and then download barnacle. Sweet! Done!

I don't believe there is a supported recovery for the intercept. There is one hacked up but there are some issues with it so I don't recommend it.

There is no problems with the custom recovery. I recommend it if you want to try custom roms/themes. Check sdx for all things intercept

Trying to Root - Driver install issue

I've literally tried every method on the internet to root the GSM Galaxy Nexus and I keep getting stuck at the very beginning: I can't get past the driver step and making sure the computer recognizes the phone as an ADB device. I've tried Samsung driver install, pdaNET drivers and just about any other method and I still can't get my computer to show that the device is a ADB device and therefore cannot root the phone.
Its a Play Store Galaxy Nexus running 4.0.4
all help is incredibly appreciated. I've been working on this problem since Friday.
I'm on a 64bit Windows 7 on a Dell XPS 15 computer

If your Command Prompt displays the message "waiting for device" your driver wasn't successfully installed.
Close the Command Prompt window and open Device manager while your phone is still plugged in. (Search for it using the search option).
Right Click the "Android" option and select Update Driver. Choose to "Browse My Computer" and "Let Me Pick From A List." Pick the Samsung driver with the newest date and install it. Now retry the code above.

Try this.

I've tried updating via device manager. The problem is, it always says its up to date or when I manually select one it still doesn't work. Should I just not pick the newest driver? Pick an older version when selecting a new driver?
EDIT: also, another issue is that with Wug's when it searches for the adb device is searches in an odd folder that doesn't exist and I can't figure out how to change where it looks

Or download the GNex Toolkit. Was having driver issues as well today (they were installed but for some strange reason Windows didn't recognize it anymore) and used the ones that come with this toolkit to reinstall through device manager. Of course as always with these things, use at your own risk, fiddling with drivers can be tricky .

What are you getting from your adb devices command? I had a problem with mine showing as consistantly offline. I had to change from a frontal USB port (usually a bad idea anyway) to a rear port. Some device/computer combinations make adb unhappy when using a USB hub, which most frontal USB ports essentially are.

When I use WugFresh and check for ADB it checks a nonexistent directory and returns an error. I found another method on google (I think the webpage was Foolproof method or something) and I check through command prompt and when I do it says List of Devices: then a blank line underneath
EDIT: just installed the GNex toolkit and drivers, plugged in, adb devices and it returned the blank line
EDIT 2.0: I just witnessed the most beautiful thing in the world. I plugged in again and it miraculously worked. I think I might tear up and cry a little

Yeah, for some reason the USB Driver in the Android SDK does NOT work. This was incredibly frustrating when I was trying to unlock my phone originally. I spent probably 30 minutes googling and trying different driver downloads.
I have attached the ones I used that DO work.

So here is the new story:
unlocked bootloader but it did not factory reset. It rebooted and my phone is as it was.
When I went to do fastboot boot boot.gsm.img, It says boot.img downloads and then it takes me to the google logo screen and gets stuck

I've never rooted an already installed ROM for the Galaxy Nexus, but might I ask why you're not just installing a pre-rooted ROM from recovery? It'll save you a lot of headaches for sure. Even if you're not into custom builds, there's plenty of AOSP pre-rooted builds out there

I don't think the pre-rooted ROMs get OTAs, or do they? I've been trying to root on stock so I can still get OTAs and I like how stable it is. I've messed with other ROMs on other phones and I almost always go to stock or CM but I'd rather stick to stock on this for now

Okay I can understand that. However do realize that once you install an OTA, your root will probably be gone and you'll have to root manually once more ...

i actually delete any driver and use the pdanet works just fine, i had the same problem that you. is just mather of patience.

Yea re-rooting is fine. I really only need root for a few days to get my phone set up but K really don't need root privileges in everyday use so losing root once I've done what I need is ok

Maybe not. SuperSU has a feature to keep root when installing an OTA.

Man.. as easy as this:
Go to bixie's jb rom thread, he has there linked a supersu+busybox cwm flashable zip, dl that and copy it to the device. Dl also a non-touch cwm image.
Unlock your bootloader, bla bla follow guides on how to set up/use fastboot, BOOT cwm (not flash it) with 'fastboot boot cwm.img', flash that supersu zip, reboot. Done, you rooted jb, install voodoo root keeper or something, back up root. Thats one way how to root a Nexus. You can even relock your bootloader after you finished customizing.

[Q] Failed Sprint Note 2 Root Stuck in Loop, Dev not answering

I attempted a root on Samsung Note 2 Sprint version (in white). Followed all steps, however phone got stuck in a reboot loop right after I put the option 2 (root only) Odin step in. Sprint ver LPH889 (I believe that is what Odin is calling it, option 72). Toolkit used was ADB 4.1.0.
Original symptoms were that the Android updater was looping trying to load everything; being new I made it worse and tried recoveries and reloads which also failed. Now it boots, goes to splash, circling blue oval image and...it stays there.
Good news: I have access to download mode and recovery reset mode (including sideloading).
Bad news: every thread I've followed has given me an issue.
I have recovery access but I need some idea of where to go from here and searches have shown near but not exact symptoms. I have unplugged it from the pc, removed the battery, done a factory reset, attempted to reflash via Odin (root) attempted to reflash stock via Odin and so far I am still stuck in a reboot loop. Windows detects the phone but shows a problem in device manager because possibly it won't stop rebooting. Any help you can provide is appreciated and if at all possible I need to recover some form of working phone here, and soon. My girl needs it for work and Sprint's network in my area barely works from day to day (which they admit but don't credit my account for). This phone has problems sending/receiving calls, they claim it's fine, and I was forced to try a root to get some form of working device. That failed too.
I'm a newb at this...it's been years since I flashed a phone (Razor v3), so...any help would be appreciated, otherwise I have to crawl to sprint/samsung and get it replaced, which I don't want to do. Thanks.

I thought it would to but I did not want to dig through 70+ pages of the thread when searching failed...unless I really needed to. Most of it is old and doesn't apply.
I was directed by the referenced Youtube vid. I used the options referenced for the phone in this thread with that toolkit. I backed up existing files (not as one unit, but internal files and I think OS), went for the option 2, followed the instructions and things went great through odin...until android went to update and started looping with the 'updating files' percentages. At that point I tried to restore to basic and started clearing caches and such and that is how I got to where I am.
When that failed I started looking at the leaked stock flash and that failed on shoot.ini which that guy never addressed because he thought his international version was all versions (that's why I choose 'doesitwork?' as screen name ). So i'm down to sideloading or something. I really need guidance, and I emailed the toolkit author but I'm still waiting on a reply.
Any thoughts?

When used the toolkit a year ago, I found that I had to turned off all firewalls and antivirus apps for it to work properly. Once I did that it worked fine....give it a shot...can't hurt......might even be able to repair what you've done so far.....Good Luck!!!

I'll give this my best shot...download a rooted rom from the development section and place it on your SD card.
Download toolkit from here (I take no credit for this) http://d-h.st/iu0
Put phone in download mode.
Open ODIN and uncheck "auto reboot". Then click "PDA" and add the .tar file (recovery).
Plug phone into PC (make sure to have samsung drivers installed).
Once ODIN sees the phone you can click "start".
When the recovery flash is complete, pull your battery to ensure power down.
Boot into recovery : volume up, home, power all at the same time.
Flash rooted rom.

Toolkit is an extra and unnecessary step.

Grab the one click flavor of choice. Use the one with 1090526 in the name as that's the full version.
Open in windows, put phone in download mode and flash. Easy Peasy.
Let me know if you have any issues with this.

Sorry for the late reply, I had some issues with the "catchpa".
The one click fix worked like a charm, thank you! I will soon be making a contrib to the site. It's a shame I couldn't root as easily :laugh: .
I know the level of work that goes into this stuff and the desire to keep on top of new gear while maintaining support for the old and I appreciate the community coming to my aid, so again, thank you!

It is usually a pretty common courtesy to hit the "thanks button" when someone helps you out.
I am not at all trying to be mean, just letting you know.

Digital2 Platinum Pad 8 - D2-861G-BK

So I created this topic because there is hardly anything on the internet regarding this tablet. I just recently purchased it from Best Buy and it took me quite some time to find something that would help me root it. Finally, I tried vroot ( a rooting application) and I succeeded in rooting my tablet. I don't have the exact link I used to get vroot but a simple Google search should suffice. Anyway, I figured I'd start this topic for anyone and everyone who uses this tablet or knows of this tablet to discuss any other developments. For now, if anyone needs help rooting their tablet and getting superuser running, I'm here to help.~
For now, I hope you all can figure out how to use vroot (yes, I know it's in Chinese. I can not read Chinese but it was pretty simple to get through the process of rooting.) Anyway, I don't remember the specifics but if anyone else gets through it, I ask that you please post some details on how you did it for everyone else to get through it as well. Hopefully, with time, we can get some good stuff going with this tablet. Could anyone figure out how to get CWM Recovery running on it? I'm a bit new to this and I don't want to screw anything up.

Thanks for the heads up! I also bought this tablet about a month ago. I was impressed with how thin and light it was, and how nice and bright the (IPS) screen was, especially for a cheaper "no-name" tablet. I've since found virtually no online support for this. D2 didn't even seem to list it on their own website. Although, finally today, I found this thread, and this site: http://www.d2pad.info/index.php?option=com_content&view=frontpage&Itemid=585. Seem the model is exclusive to Best Buy.
The only problem I've had with this tablet is that on rare occasions, if the screen is left on too long, the touch controls go a bit haywire, detecting random touches all over the place, and not really responding. Simply turning the screen off and back on fixes the problem. (Also, the camera is kind of ****ty, but I don't really care about that)
Anyhow, I'll definitely be trying to root this tomorrow. I take it you didn't need any special drivers? I came across this (http://scottyzone.com/2014/03/17/connect-the-d2-961g-to-adb-using-google-usb-drivers/), which I'll try if I can't get the tablet connected to my computer properly to run Vroot.
Thanks!

Thank you for bringing some needed attention to this topic! I actually used the Vroot application, rather than the software. It took a few tries but I got it to work. If you want to try the software, however, I've connected it to my computer numerous times without the need for any special drivers. Only thing I can suggest is the generic google drivers. By the way, I reverse searched the tablet's hardware and kernel and came across a duplicate device from China. It is exactly identical right down to the appearance, hardware and software to our tablet. It is called the Chuwi VX8 and the only difference is that it comes in white rather than black.
After making this discovery I came across a nice little development topic for the clone device (http://www.freaktab.com/showthread.php?16025-Chuwi-VX8-RileyROM-1-1) and it seems they've founded good amount of research into the tablet. They've come up with a rom (I've yet to test), CWM Recovery (Unable to flash. If anyone else can try, that'd be dandy.), root methods (with links), among other things. It seems that anything that would work with the Chuwi tablet SHOULD work with the Digital2 Platinum Pad 8. The same rooting method was required and everything about the two tablets is perfectly identical so I'm led to believe they're going to be able to use identical roms or recoveries. I'll look more into flashing CWM Recovery tonight and get back to you on my results.

Found this link (http://products.mgyun.com/api/downjump?id=846) just for you. It should work but let me now whether or not it does. It's the exe for computers but if it doesn't work Google "vroot apk" for the app.

As you mentioned, the link was for the (Windows) software. It requires ADB connection to a computer (usually requires special drivers).
When you said you used the application instead of the software, I assumed you used an APK. However, there is no apk of (the official) Vroot (it was designed to work through Windows). That makes me think the root app you used was something else. So I have to ask... what did you use to root this device?

vRoot is now iRoot
First off, I'd like to thank you for starting this topic. I've searched all over since I bought this tablet a couple of months ago but couldn't find any information. When I did a google search for vroot, i found http://www.mgyun.com/en/getvroot and the software is now called iRoot, and is in english. The main link on the page is for the windows ADB version, and there's a link further down the page for "iRoot for Mobile", which will give you the APK. Now that I've got root, I'll keep trying to get CWM recovery to work, and maybe we can start seeing some ROMs come out for this great device!
UPDATE: (IMPORTANT, please read): The APK does not work. or at least, I couldn't get it to work on my device. It tells you that you've got root, but doesn't really give it to you. Download the computer based exe from the link that Josh8550 posted earlier.
You will need developer permissions (Settings -> About Tablet -> tap Build Number until it tells you you're a developer).
Install ADB and Drivers on windows PC (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2588979)
Connect tablet to PC with USB cable.
Run vRoot (iRoot) on PC. Program will connect to tablet and check for root.
Click the "Get Root" button.
Wait...
Tablet will reboot.
Wait...
Program will connect to tablet and check for root.
Program should verify that you have root.
Download and Install SuperSU from the Play Store.
Open SuperSU and Update SU Binary. You will have to give SuperSU root permissions from the chinese interface (choose the box on the right, don't mark the check box).
Reboot.
Congratulations! You now have root access. Enjoy!
More info to come later...

Rooting Digital 2 tablets
Hey everyone.
I successfully rooted with Kingo ROOT using my PC, however now Im stuck. Cant seem to find ROMs or Mods compatible with this tablet.

I did, and ended up hard bricking it for months until I finally got it back out, fixed it and gave up.

I also have the D2-861G and ended up bricking it but have been unable to fix it, would you mind telling me how you got it back up and running.

[Q] Can't connect usb, and framaroot won't work, how can I root this phone?

When I got into the download mode, it seems the user before me put roms on it, at least it gives me a number 7 towards the top which made me think they were roms.
I wasn't able to at first, but I am able to get it to the recovery mode now, that looks similar to clockwork mod, but it may just be standard on droids now, idk.
Can I use the Mr Robinson zip or md5 file (http://www.xda-developers.com/how-to-root-the-samsung-galaxy-s-iii-xda-developer-tv/) and flash through the recovery (will it still update the radios, and they other things, I downloaded the 4.11 version (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1771687) since that is what my s3 is running TMO T999UVDLJC and the zip file md5 checked out.
If this is not possible, what are my other options to get
the phone rooted?
Edit: I am also running avast on this phone, it detects the apk and application of framaroot and I get error 7 for Armada (not sure on name) and error 9 with the one that begins with a G.
Thank you all in advance.

You can use LJC if you want. You'll be rooted and it'll flash the modem and bootloader as well but they will be the same ones

Using recovery right? I keep it in the zip or unzip it?
Which option, think it has update from cache, and another from folder
Thanks for the quick reply seeing how it's a rather old phone.

No, you flash it with Odin. And unzip it

I cannot connect my phone to pc, it won't detect it and framaroot doesn't work.
Or is there another way to use odin or something?

Are you connecting the phone to a Windows machine? Is there something wrong with the phone's USB port that causes it not to be recognized by the computer? Have you tried different ports and USB cables?

Try towelroot or cf-auto-root

Thank you, towelroot got me rooted, thought it was fornewer phones.
The uUSB cord works for an s6, but not this phone.
Going to try a couple apps that I needed root for.
Should I run the Mr Robinson zip if I am able to get the phone to connect? Or is everything the same? Or will it cause problems?
Edit: I am running windows 8.1. This could be a problem?

There should be no need to run other apps if the phone has root access.
You can check root by installing an app such as Titanium Backup.

If it's rooted, no need to do anything else

I used root checker basic.
OK great, I'll grab ROM manager and clockmod to install others and follow some guides.
If you have any remaining tips, please let me know. Still can't connect to a PC, hhaven't tried another PC yet.
