Root my Galaxy Fame please help! - Samsung Galaxy Fame

Hello.
I am a proud owner of the samsung galaxy fame (GT-S6810P) but as you can guess, i wanted to root this thing.
I have been searching the web for ages to find information on how to root my Galaxy Fame without succes, i could only find tutorials/information on how to update my device.
I also tryed several times to root my device with Superoneclick, again without succes. I also tryed to root with odin with Chainfire, but i couldn't find the right kernel.
Can someone please help me with rooting my device?
-

seriously noone that can help out?

I don´t own this device, but maybe i will buy it tomorrow. And I found a firmware upgrade that should be a rooted rom (written under the point "Important note:").
Here is the link: http://thedroidcity.com/galaxy-fame-s6810p-upgrade-to-xxamaa-android-4-1-2-official-firmware/
Please tell me if this can help you !

I tried this method for my Galaxy Fame (which already had Android 4.1.2, but I would have liked it rooted). The steps worked and did just like explained in the thread, but there is still no root access, no SU nor CWM
Has anyone found another method yet?

I'm also interested in rooting my Galaxy Fame.
Any news will be greatly appreciated!

I was going to try that method, but it seemed that the only way to do the required backups was to already have root access.
Hope we can find an easy method soon, I really need to set up a samba share on the phone.

Ive just brought this phone for my Mrs, I have the HTC One SV, and after looking around the Samsung Galaxy Fame I think you guys currently have the same problem as us HTC guys have, the answer believe it or not is Jelly Bean itself, no one knows how to hack the ewer HBOOT that comes attached to the latest version of Android, sorry to disappoint, we all just got sit back and wait.

I had success rooting the fame with "Motochopper" (sorry not able to link to it, but a search on this forum will find it) it's a Samsung G4 exploit but it is the only one I've also found works on the fame and I've tried quite a few

Root works with "Motochopper"!! Finally

Yes, I also confirm that it works getting root with Motochopper :victory:

Confirmed working with motochopper!
but we need a custom rom... any developers? ty

First download and run this: http://api.viglink.com/api/click?fo...ochopper.zip&jsonp=vglnk_jsonp_13709561508208
Make sure your ADB is working (download adb if needed but most of the peepz that wanna root know about it yes)
type: adb devices.
if device is recognized.
just use the Motochopper that you downloaded in the link above.
Now the device will restart but no super user app.
Make sure you do however have super user acces by typing:
Adb shell
su
If so all you need to do now is download su app via playstore and install overwrite awnser yes.
and voilla GALAXY FAME SUPER USER ACCES ROOTED!!

install busybox without unlocking/wiping.
install Clockwork Mod Recovery for GSM or CDMA without unlocking/wiping.
Lock/unlock
Download and Instructions
CASUAL is easy to use, and fairly self explanitory.
Launch the downloaded application using Java with right-click-open, or from a command line: "java -jar GalaxyNexus.jar"
Select "Galaxy Nexus root"
Click the "Do It' button
Optionally: Repeat the previous step with "Install Busybox" option selected to install Busybox.
Optionally: Select Install Galaxy Nexus CDMA or GSM ClockWork Mod Recovery
Download Galaxy Nexus Root and Busybox
Ensure you have Java Installed on your computer. Do you have java?

I'm not really sure what the terms and conditions of your warranty are, but there is no "unlocked" icon to show that you've voided your warranty because this uses a permissions exploit to circumvent the need to unlock and flash a kernel.
I would GLADLY donate a nice amount if there would be a way to make this work on Honeycomb. Sick of Verizon's bs not getting ICS out to the Xoom, but I have too much game data saved - don't wanna root since unlock/wipe is required.

Great job, used it on my Galaxy Nexus Verizon version 4.0.2 and worked perfectly.
Thanks!
Busy Box
Do you need t install busy box or Install the proper recovery for your device
Please explain.
I am interested in Root and or Super User and i think this is the way to go but not sure about the BB or Recovery.
With this giving you +root+ and no wipe what is need for BB and shouldn't you still be able to restore the phone using factory reset?
Thankx!
You can root with this app without needing to wipe. It will automatically install the Super User. Then you can install Busy Box via the application as well.
You do not need to install a custom recovery if you do not want to. BusyBox is simply tools on the android that let you install more apps that require advanced commands.
Galaxy Nexus 4.0.1 & 4.0.2 -NO WIPE
Thank you!!
If i have the need to un-root my device will this application do that as well?
Also, will i still be able to receive OTA updates this way or will i have to do them manually? I just want to know my optionswith it before i +root+ using this method.
I don't see why you can't get OTA updates but that might kill the root. Meaning the update could stop the root and you would have to either reroot it using this way or using the official method where you first have to unlock the device.
Maybe the developer can shed a bit more light on that part and for un-rooting as well
I bet that GnexRootToolkit.v1.3 will un-root your phone if you use this 1-click method. Just not sure.
You should be fine. Just run the app again after rooting. This works with the 4.0.2 OTA.
If you need to unroot id check out ERD Supercurio's RootKeeper. Great app and it can spoof unrooting .
can I flash custom rom after using installed cwd with this tool?
how to update the cwd to the last release?

Hi @ all
System apps like this Cineese SU App can be uninstalled with "root App Deleter".Found on market.You need root permissions too.
just install super su and update the binaries.. them it will promp to unistall the other ones.. it worked for me..
It works, but I have a small issue: I can't remove the Superuser application the rooting kit provides. I install SuperSu, it prompts me to update the binaries, I do, and it tells me "installation successful", but it doesn't ask me to remove the other superuser applications. So I am stuck with the Chinese/Korean Superuser application. Any thoughts on this?

How to root a Samsung Galaxy S4 Mini (GT-I9195) running KitKat? (SOLVED)

Hello guys! I am here today to ask if any of you have a tutorial on how to root a Samsung Galaxy S4 Mini (GT-I9195) whose Android System is KitKat 4.4.2.
I have googled the whole net and most of the tutorials are on Android System 4.2.2 and the ones about the 4.4.2 have a dubious origin under my opinion.
So if any of you have can give me a hand would be awesome.
Thanks.

SOLUTION
The tutorial is posted on HERE (spanish).

[Q] Is it possible to remove "Activation" dialog at startup?

I am using the device ONLY as a gaming device and have no plans to activate it through Verizon, however, everytime I turn it on, it asks me to activate on the network. I can simply close this and avoid it, but I would prefer to remove this entirely if possible. I tried to root the phone but no matter what rooting tool I use, it fails. Every time.
Can I please get some help? I am more of a Windows Phone person so I don't know much about Android rooting and modding.

If I recall correctly, the Verizon versions of the R800 (Might be the R800x) are somewhat locked down so I doubt you can do much at all 'easily' to be honest.
At the very least, without ROOT access you'll be unable to write to the SYSTEM partition which is what you will likely need to get access to in order to remove the activation message - it'll likely be an application that simply needs deleting. You can definitely get ROOT access on the R800x's though, I think it requires flashing different firmware using flashtool.
I would however stress to not let this particular device put a 'downer' on Android devices for you as a whole - there are only a small few devices locked down like this and the rest of the R800's aren't as restricted. You need an R800i lol.
I've tried to hunt down info to no avail on rooting this model. Every root too I've used has shown no results. The device does not change.

I have r800x rooted by doom method. Depends on what software you are running what root method you will need. Are you 2.3.2?2.3.3?2.3.4?2.3.7?

You can definitely root the R800x on 2.3.4. I've done it on 3 phones.
I posted this thread a while back to inform others of an easy root method using the Cydia Impactor Root tool .... ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=55573098 ). You won't see any visible changes after running the root tool (other than seeing su binary placed in system/xbin folder after rooting), but you can install Supersu to manage root applications after you inject the root with Cydia.
You may need to install an older version of Supersu after running Cydia Impactor Root, as I have not tested the newest version of Supersu from the Play Store. You can grab an older Supersu apk from here: ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=53636923&postcount=2 ) which I believe would work if the newest Supersu doesn't work. ( Thanks goes to XDA member DocHoliday77 for the supersu apk and of course to Chainfire).
After you gain root, then check out post #7 in this thread ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=55290171 ) to see how to easily install CWM / Clockwork Mod Recovery.
.... (FYI, there's actually another root method called Eroot that also works on the R800x on 2.3.4 and 2.3.3....it's discussed in the same thread above where I said to see how to install CWM .... but I prefer Cydia Impactor method instead).
I hope this helps.

Sorry, I had to.
So, I turned this phone on after about a year since this last post and I decided to give it another go. Finally got it using the Cydia Impact method. BusyBox refuses to work but file browsers are allowing root access to delete the bloatware apps so thats good. Thanks for the help!

can someone advise please?
thank you in advance
p.s: i don't want to downgrade to kitkat. and i don't think am gonna need a custom recovery cause i saw that's a hastle. i basically need the root for lucky patcher, greenify and the such.

In the same situation as you with the same software version, have tried every possible root script/one click method out there and none work. Came across kingroot which is supposed to work but i don't trust it
why not? could it brick the device? no feedback about it?
update: just tried it. didn't work
Ahhhh damn! Reason I didn't try it was because people were saying that they weren't sure if it rooted the phone in a tidy way and also weren't sure if it was sending personal info to the app makers...looks like we will have to wait for now eh!

i just got the lg g3 d855 running android 5.0 kernel 3.4.0 build number lrx21r.a1430824138
software version v20g-SEA-XX
tried the purple drake root tool, the lg one click root v1.3 and none worked. they all say that it was done successfully, but when phone reboots, i don't have busybox or supersu. downloaded root checker from playstore, says that root is not found. tried to install supersu from playstore and then root but says su binary weren't found.
can someone advise please?
thank you in advance
p.s: i don't want to downgrade to kitkat. and i don't think am gonna need a custom recovery cause i saw that's a hastle. i basically need the root for lucky patcher, greenify and the such.

Maybe root devs just haven't got round to updating their apps and scripts to work with it yet...I'm not sure tbh

so can you advise on what to do to get root on my software version? i tried it all and nothing seems to work. reminds me of my first android device (htc chacha) that had me trying for 3months before i got it to work. my nexus 4 was 2 commands and woop. and now this
there are threads in these forums that tell you how to, and te reason htc took so long is because of s-on/s-off

no kidding!! seriously? maybe you haven't read that i tried all methods discussed and none worked? and i know that it was the s-0n s-off for the htc. i was just trying to show the difference between my nexus and the other devices i owned. that it's not as easy.
thanks for the reply
How odd! I was having the same issue as you and tried every single tool out there about 5 times each on Windows 7 and nothing worked! I then decided to try on a Windows 10 machine using the following root script:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g3/general/guide-root-lg-firmwares-kitkat-lollipop-t3056951
And all worked fine!!! Rooted right away...so I suggest you try creating a Windows 10 Virtual Machine and give that a go
confirmed sheppy?

I tried the VM, but when I had put the phone in download mode, the adb didn´t find the device. Any tip??
did you install the lg drivers? try uninstall then reinstall and see if that works. did you enable the developer mode?
am just throwing all possibilities. sometimes one just dismisses one in the moment

I just uninstalll the drives, reinstall and nothinhg. And yes, developer mode and debugging turned on!
I'd love to find a solution for this... pretty annoying that every variant and version supports root besides V20G..
hoping someone comes along, reads this and tells us about a solution...

How could you install the driver in win10 inside VM. Can detect my device but couldnt install the driver...
Tried VM with WIndows 10, No dice
So like you all been endlessly trying to root V20g-sea.
I took the advise given and installed virtual box put windows 10 on it and go through all the methods again. SAME problem all scripts work without a hitch, phone restarts and NO SU installed and NO ROOT.
Someone please find a solution I beg of you. I have read through 100's of pages of comments and still no solution
