I have rooted my EVo with auto root , so i didnt need to do much there., that was about 2 years ago., my roommate have an evo but seems that its newer than what i have.
when you go to bootloader has a lock and bootloader is 2.18..
i was able to unlock it , went to HTC site ... the instructions how it needs to be done ., so all good.
then you need to load some files run them all the way till these steps and iam stuck , just about the end
when you need to download the file super user from the market , which i did ., the it says after you install it
search busy ?????
and use one of the busy box installers and install busy box ...?
i dont know what busy means and where to find it., when i run the super user i dont see something or things called busy ., or to search for that ., can someone help here please
Yep its to install busybox. It allows Unix commands to be used on the phone, and also helps other rooted apps run a little easier with it.

here is the llink for the busybox installer from the android market: BusyBox try using that and see if it does what you need it to.
Ok great thsnk you , so what are the steps , I download it then what and how to work it, with supper user and the file I downloaded

Just download and install. Run, allow it with SU, and hit install and it does its thing, then your golden. It just needs the files stored in the phone. Occasionally you update it but only one in a great while.

First, I hope you have a custom recovery installed. Just in case you do not, I've attached one.
Second, you need to flash from RECOVERY (not download from the market) the superuser.zip file (not the app from the market). You need to place that on the root of your SD card (do not unzip it).
IF YOU DO NOT ALREADY HAVE A CUSTOM RECOVERY INSTALLED:
Place the recovery file in the folder where you have your adb commands. Open the command prompt from that folder, boot your phone into FASTBOOT USB (click on FASTBOOT from the bootloader) and connect it to your computer. Then type at the command prompt
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img <ENTER>
fastboot reboot-bootloader <ENTER>
Then hit the power button.
ONCE YOU HAVE A CUSTOM RECOVERY INSTALLED:
Boot into your bootloader (power off the phone then hold volume down + power buttons at the same time if you are in the phone's operating system) and go to RECOVERY. Flash the superuser.zip file from your SD card, then reboot back into your phone's operating system to see if that works.
Also,
to tether, you need a ROM with the hotspot already hacked, or use the wireless tether app that I also attached.
You can place it on your SD card, then install it from your phone's operating system with any file manager like astro, which you can find from the market.
or,
you can place the app in the same folder where you have your adb commands, open the command prompt from that folder, have your phone connected to your computer, then type at the prompt
adb install wireless_tether_2_0_7.apk
when i try to install the wi fi ., it says program not installed ?., is that because i cant get it rooted right .??

No.
Ok sorry, I see that app does not work with the file managers. The easiest way is to run the adb command that I posted above with the file inside the same folder as your adb files. Another way is to try this attached app with the file managers instead.
Also, how are you doing with the superuser?
No go still clear iam not doing ok., the recovery image i didnt reinstall since i can go to recovery ...the menu..etc , so i think iam set there ., i installed the efghi super user file on card and reinstalled and done .. reboot evo all ok., went to market downloaded busy box , and superuser app.
both installed , go to super user and to preferences , then su binary ,hit update all green ....
i hook up phone cable to pc charge ..disk drive ..i say tether ., then a window say you cant ...sprint you need to contact... well no go., since my old evo dont give me this message when i tether .
the app for wifi cant install it., but ill work on that when i can tether
what next ?
First off, SuperUser is running and you had some apps ask for root permissions correct?
Now are you running a custom ROM or just Stock? If its just stock, the hotspot isn't hacked so that's why your getting the contact Sprint. Try using the Wireless Tether app from Lemon and Muller.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.googlecode.android.wifi.tether
That should work for the hotspot in your phone if everything is rooted correctly. I've never tethered straight from my phone to my computer, but Google should help you find an app for that.
Edit: if you can't install the app, you need to download the .apk file. That's the work around since most carriers try to block these apps from being seen and downloaded typically. Shortydoggg gave you the .apk so you should be able to install that without any trouble...

Regarding the apps asking for root permission , not sure there., but it is a sprint rom , stock this phone never been worked on before.iam going to try this tether app. If it doesn't work that means iam not rooted still., no. how can I tell of busy app is hooked up right.and or the supper app , the settings....etc since everything else is done.

Try root checker basic from the market. It should tell you whether or not you are rooted.
yeah its telling me iam rooted ., but know with the wifi i was told to download its working ., but cant tether from cable or sprint wi fi ., maybe because its stock rom ., anyhow great to start its going with this ., keeps crashing but it works . thank you all
Also, you may need to check your computer's wireless network settings and delete any previous profiles that may have been saved that tried connecting to your phone. They can interfere with any new settings and prevent the wireless tether apps from connecting. You still need a custom ROM with the hotspot already hacked if you expect to use the one from Sprint.
So, I heard some while a go that it is possible to have flash in GIO. Me being a totally helpless with tech I asked my friend of a friend of a friends cousin to ROOT my phone. Well that went smoothly, I did not get flash on my mobile´s websites but instead I can´t connect my Gio to PC via USB... NUTS!
And "the Friend" can´t help me no longer...
So here are the problems, I can´t connect to PC, no matter what. Tried de-buggin, un-installed drivers <-> installed drivers. Nothing...
Also I have that app I don´t really want ( or do I?), called SuperSU which is´nt working, says something about "binary needs to update -> Fail". How the h*ll i´m gonna get rid of that? Is that app that lost my USB-connection? Did I do it?
So could some one please tell me, 1) How to remove SuperSU-app or how to fix it (I you think that I should have it). 2) Any ideas how to solve USB-issue. 3) If I need to install any app´s, softwares and so on, links would be great. Working ones...
Here´s some specs from my phone, GT-S5660, Android ver. 2.3.6, "somethingsomething" S5660XXKT6, Core(?) 2.6.35.7-perf-CL1006648, "mumbojumbo" GIGERBREAD.XXKTI. SuperSU v0.98
Ask for more information if you need it, i´ll try to explain the best I can, english is´nt my language. Me no enklish, me finnish.
... Is it possible to have flash on GIO?
superSU is the app that gives away root acces to apps and to the system.
you need to use wifi or 3G and update the binairy
for usb, make sure you fully disabled Kies and killed it with the task manager

Thanks for reply. SuperSU won´t update, not on wifi or 3G. Just says "update failed".
I have deleted Kies from laptop, cleaned registry, even removed all usb-drivers then restarted laptop(did that with WIN7 an XP-PRO), yell´ed at my neighbours and blamed the cat.
Still no connection, I can connect NOKIA with usb-cable, the cable recharges my Gio but no luck with connecting... I quess that damn thing is broken.
I´ll focus now on removing that superSU, which will be a weeks job at my skills...
Thanks anyway.

Yes, it´s the cable that came with Gio. Can´t find Nokia´s cable so I could try that one. How do I check that if my phone has a custom rom that is´nt suitable or something like that. I really don´t know what that friend of my did to my phone, BUT the problem occured after his I´ll have your phone going like Räikkönen in Abu Dhabi-tuneup.
Really i think u should unroot it if u think root cause this problem.

Just tried that one, correct me if I´m wrong but unrooting is done by using unroot.zip (the one for superSU)? because that did´nt do the trick. For now I have done unroot.zip, wipe all data from phone (to factory re-set or whatcamacallit), boot-> voilá, theres that superSu still, version 0,98 if I recall.
I know that the bigges problem is in front my laptop´s screen, AKA my face, but as I earlier stated, me no computers.
I wish someone would make an app that removes all of these root-thingies and gives you a free nokia 3310
Thanks for reply, I won´t give up. There must be a simple answer for this. I just have to find it, or someone gives it me... Latter the better.
Ooh ooh, FYI, now I have these two app´s in my phone. SuperSU and Superuser, should I just quit fidling with my phone
...and now when I connect my phone to laptop, win7 gives every 3 sec. a message that one of the USB-hardwares is in errormode or something (I´m bad at traslating), it sounds like a intro of a Skrillex-song...

Yep, if you mean flash´ing is done by the the method of power+"that large button at bottom of my phone" and install update->unroot.zip then yes, app won´t go. Do I have a wrong file? Are those files spesific to a certain app? The trick is to get two superuser-apps is klick+klick+yes+fustration+install+hope+i don´t know. If I could I would give you better info... You mean that SuperSU (the one with cyan droid with red cape) and Superuser (the one with green droid and a eyepatch) shouldnt exist in a same phone? This is going straight to the twilightzone.
If you are confused, quess how I feel:laugh:
And either of them won´t update binary...
Oh, and yes, no ( ) I can´t uninstall either of those app, well from phone´s uninstall-section, butt that do´snt uninstall these apps for good... They are still there when I go to settings+apps+manage apps+all-> there they are.

Here´s where I´m at now, SUPERuser says: su binary vlegacy (0) -rwsr sr-x root root System/bin/su. When I do update I get this: Checking installed version:Legacy(written in red), Gaining root acces: fail! (allso written in red).
SuperSU says " The SU binary needs to be updated. Continue?" -> "Installation failed!".
Busybox installer says my device is rooted
Root checker basic says Sorry! This device does not have proper root acces.
Got root says "Successfully located ´su´(superuser) on the device. Failed to obtain root privileges through ´su´.
Honestly, I don´t know is my phone rooted or not

may be your root access was lost, try to root the phone again.
Ya, unrooting and rooting again would work.

i don't think it related with hardware, root is related with software (OS).
Right, here´s where I´m at. Now my phone IS rooted, it also have android 4.0.4 and CyanogenMod9 :laugh:
Done some fidling you see...
But still no connection via usb, I´m starting to think that it is a hardware-related problem. It does charge my phone, but no connection for file transfer.
So for now I will be happy for these settings.
Just need to get the a2sdgui working propely, can´t move apps from phone to sd.
Thanks for all of you´s for help :angel:

maybe its more a pc-related problem too, reinstall drivers and make sure KIES is not running(deinstall it) and try on other pc's too.
have look at this for Apps 2 sd on ICS
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1590807&highlight=guide+ics
I think there's no problem with a rooted phone. You just need to do some homework before you started at it. Let me help you by explaining you some words and some help.
Root: when you root your phone you are able to flash roms on your phone.
Recovery mode: the menu that you get when you touch the on button + the OK button.
Flashing: installing a rom.
Rom: a kind of system on your phone. After rooting you can put these on your phone like iOS or
ICS.
When you are rooting your phone, you need a new recovery mode: Clockwork mode recovery. You can install this as the same way like flashing a rom. After that you can apply the update.zip package. Now your phone us rooted and when you reboot your phone you have a new app: SuperSU (or superuser) This app gives apps permission to other apps. Now you are able to flash any rom you want. Just google on: roms for /thenameofyourphone/ and you get enough results. Some roms are really great and are smooth and have a nice theme like android 4.1 or ios. Just download the rom. Put it on yor sd card. Go into recovery mode (clockwork mode recovery). Backup current rom, do a factory reset, wipe cache and install the rom. After flashing you must reboot your phone and ENJOY!
You can also download link2sd which allows you to move ALL you apps to your sd card. By the way. When you have rooted your phone it isn't bad but you have to read very much and after a while you will understand everything and you will enjoy your favourite rom.

hotkeys?
Hi all, i got this old phone (Samsung GT-S5560) with a phonelock on it. The question is how do i do a hard reset with the buttons or how do i get the recovery mode with the buttons? I cant find it on the net.....
POST UPDATED!
Hey guys I m new to xda forums and today i m gonna tell u all about Karbonn A1+.I decided to post this thread
cause not many people know about this phone and r complaining that they want to root this phone but z4root is not
working.
Karbonn A1+ is a good but not great phone and to unlock its full potential You will need to have done these
things:-
1.Rooted your phone - To do this you will need to download ICS Root Unlocker. Link -
http://www.mediafire.com/?aqtk58y13xoqjvd
Firstly download the software.Then connect your phone to the PC and put it in USB Debugging mode.Let your PC
install the drivers required.Then press any key once drivers r installed and ur phone will reboot.After ur phone is booted into home screen then press any key once again.Repeat this process for 3-4 times until the ics root unlocker window closes and ur phone has superuser in the app drawer.Congrats now you have rooted ur phone!!!I mean ADB Drivers by drivers coz the drivers for this phone on windows 8 and 7 r not available... Now lets proceed to the next step....
2.Install ROEHSOFT RAMEXPANDER - I highly recommend this software for this phone cause it does not have
much RAM and some games force close automatically like Temple Run.Link for download -
http://gallery.mobile9.com/f/3242181/ Now after installing it open it and allow superuser permissions.
Now adjust the slider of the swapfile as desired and click Swap Activ button.Be patient as creating swapfile takes
some time.After its done you will have more RAM than ever and u will be able to run many more apps and games...Now
the last step but not the least is..............
3.Install Chainfire 3d 3.3 - If you guys wanna play high end games like Brothers In Arms 2,NFS Shift,DEAD
SPACE,NOVA etc install this software and the plugins. Link for download of Plugins -
http://www.datafilehost.com/download-cfe8aed2.html Link for download of apk -
http://www.datafilehost.com/download-4a5000b4.html CHAINFIRE 3D Installation Guide : Download Chainfire 3D 3.3 Pro
then install. Download Plug-ins file, unpack it in SD.Open chainfire3D then allow superuser.Select the CF 3D
Driver, and then Install. Phone will restart.NOTE- If Chainfire 3d is not in the app drawer after reboot just
install it once again.Then follow these steps.Start the Chainfire 3D and select the item Install plugin.Wait till
it finds plug-ins .zip file .Install all plugins found and then Select Fix market settings.Fix market settings
displays the apps that r not compatible with ur phone but r compatible with da graphics plugins in the play store.
After this, go to Default OpenGL settings -> Use plugin. Choose any plugin your game requires. Minimize
Chainfire3D. Now you can play most of the HD games on your phone without lags....
I hope you find my thread useful.Please hit the thanks bar if it helps and feel free to ask questions if any...

yes exactly the same message i got as posted by ankush... now i believe my phone doesnot have any problem, someone else have the same MOdel .
well in my understand it is due to locked root access and dont know how to access them, also surprisingly none of any developer looking this case as i have sen many posts related to karbonn a1+ rooting and 80 are unsuccessful cases. and those who rooted their devices they have 2.0.0 or 2.0.2 version models.... we have 2.0.8 version which seems more secured

I did clean install of adb drivers (forgot the thread :banghead: ) then I followed ch3tan's thread for rooting using shaume.
It was simple and straight till I saw one chinese app. I did a check by installing titanium backup. It was stuck at "asking root permissions".
I thought it was a fail and again connected to pc for unrooting.
But then i saw another app popped in phone. There were four tabs and in setting tab root option was disabled(grey). Just enabled it (green) and yay! Titanium backup started! A chinese message box appeared for confirmation, just pressed left button(without any delay) and first thing I did was kicking *** of bloatwares.
I didnt see any blue thing.
Edit: There's a blue icon appear in status bar. Just ignore it. Clear it.

Did you disabled USB Debugging? If yes, then enable it, restart phone and try to enable root option again. Also enable the option below root. Dont know what that means but its enabled in my phone.
This was once happened with me too.

I am now consdering myself lucky.
I gained root access in one shot.
I think its not about s/w version.
I learned that there are other drivers than adb. The phone also connects in serial mode.
The driver installation file which I got is about 12 mb. And installs all drivers at click of button.
Are all drivers successfully installed?
Just try without internet enabled.
Or keep phone connected to pc and enable root.
Which app you are using to confirm root as I used titanium backup.
I have attached details of my phone.
H/w version at back is 4.0.0

Look at the last few no.s of the first line and the first few of the second line under your software version...its 2.0.2....mine is 2.0.8....it seems that after Karbonn updated the software, it has become utterly impossible to root it....
Anyways...thanks for helping me and hope you have tons of fun with your rooted phone

Hi All,
I'm trying very hard to search for the best method/option for rooting my Samsung GT-I9192 Duos(India Version) but not found any as yet.
Not sure if I have knox or not(is there is way to find out?) but I would prefer an option which does not void my warranty. Although if I have to, I don't mind foregoing the warranty. Also, I need only root - custom kernel, etc may not be required, Thanks
Can you please suggest the best and simplest method/option(preferably one click) to root my device having the following specs:
Model: GT-I9192
Android version: 4.2.2
Baseband version: I9192DDU1BML1
Kernel version: 3.4.0-1971249
[email protected] #1
Sat Dec 14 21:59:36 KST 2013
Build number: JDQ39.I9192DDU1BML1
Appreciate any help urgently, Thanks!!!
BS
well if you don't mind sending your info to some server in china [as some ppl claim] kngo root is your safest bet and you do have knox, you can always check it by going in download mode and see it if the word knox is there, which it will be in your case , btw after using kingo root you cannot boot into recovery you have to flash a custom recovery which will also trip your knox . or you might get lucky as me on the same build as you , rooted via kingo on I9192DDU1BML1 , deleted all Knox files [ search this forms for which files to delete] , flashed cwm recovery , flashed custom kernels, and still din't trigger knox only god knows why as i can't figure it out.
there are some other methods like saferoot , just do a search on this forums.
The BML1 has knox and saferoot does not work on BML1. Kingo works fine and I have rooted the BML1 on mine using Kingo
Sent from my GT-I9192
Some how Kingo refuses to work with my device. At first with Kies installed, it would connect to my device and get stuck at 0% on the "Downloading Device Driver Software Screen". I waited hours but it was still stuck at 0%.
After reading up on their support page, I downloaded and installed the drivers manually. But now Kingo wont connect to my device.
It does initiate a connection when I plug the cable/device in USB but after a few seconds, its back to the home screen saying "Device Not Connected".
I have tried the following drivers with/without Kies 3:
SAMSUNG_USB_Driver_for_Mobile_Phones_1.5.24.0.exe
SAMSUNG_USB_Driver_for_Mobile_Phones_v1.5.33.0.exe
What am I doing wrong? Hope there is another option/method if Kingo doesnt work out, Thanks again.

Did you turn on USB Debugging mode?
You have to first enable the Developer Options before you can access USB debugging
Setting>About Device>Tap on Build Number 7 times until the screen shows Developer Options is enabled

Hi... Yes, developer mode was turned on before starting the procedure.
What else could it be? Thanks
I have no clue. Do you have another Samsung phone to prove the setup on the computer? The Samsung drivers can recognize any Samsung phone if they have been installed properly.

Yes, I did root a Note 2 successfully with the same computer/setup but another/manual method(using Odin) with only Kies installed. I guess all required device drivers get installed when you install kies? This is the first time i'm using Kingo though.
Will this method work for my device? The only concern is I don't see I9192DDU1BML1 mentioned anywhere. Thanks

^ this method did work for me on the earlier firmware before BML1, but i lost my wifi so had to flash a custom kernel , dunno if it will work for ML1 as for usb try dialing *#0808# from your cell this would take you in usb settings, tick both mtp+adb , reboot , if they art already ticked uncheck them and check them again.
had the same issue with kies and s4 drivers this sorted it out .

Thanks a lot. Only MTP was checked, I checked the 2nd option MTP+ADB and rebooted the device. Hope this resolves the issue.
Unfortunately, I don't have sufficient privileges on this computer so will have to wait another 2 hours to verify it on my computer
This worked and now I have ROOT!!! Thanks a million everyone, especially dovakinn for that last master stroke!!!!
Is there a way to remove or delete the Supersu icon from the menu? I dont want to uninstall it, just hide the icon without using the native hide/unhide feature. Thanks Again!

Thanks SilviuMik. I got the following pop up as soon as I clicked on SuperSu - "Samsung KNOX has been detected. this might limit root capabilities and cause annoying popups. Try to disable KNOX?"
Should I say OK or Cancel?
Srry but Im completely new to this KNOX business. Many Thanks

I know you are already removed/hide your super su icon . But here is also some option
Just install super user elite and switch to ghost mode .
Install nova launcher latest version and hide app from the menu .

Yes I have already hidden the Supersu, thanks though for the alternative approach.
A couple of observations though, which may or may not be significant:
1) While installing SuperSu, there was a pop-up on the device which said something like "SuperSu has tried to make changes to your device and was blocked. It gave only 2 options I think (a) Block now or (b) Inform me again after 30 days. I chose option b.
2) I chose to block KNOX when it asked me as soon as I started SuperSu and It gave me a success message.
Now my question is - Will this 30 day counter give a prompt to block supersu again after 30 days?
If someone chooses Yes, then what will happen? Will the device become unrooted or apps needing root become dysfunctional?
I did block KNOX later so shouldn't all these notifications etc not come up anymore. Thanks!!

you have disable knox or remove all files
1 method if you want just disable knox from terminal run cmd as root but knox will remain
su pm disable com.sec.knox.seandroid

Click to collapse
better way is delete or freeze all knox related files , i used root explorer you could try any app which lets you delete system files , just delete all these
com.sec.enterprise.knox.attestation
com.sec.knox.eventsmanager
KLMS Agent
KNOX
KNOX Notification Manager

I followed and used this thread ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1963790 ) to root my phone, and i have no troubles following the steps. I searched around the thread and found out that i can unroot my phone with the SuperSU app, so i went into the app and selected the unroot button. To my knowledge it worked, since when i went into my Root Check app it said that there wasn't any root found. But here is my problem, when i go into my phone settings and select the stock update for my phone it gives me a message of "Your device has been modified. Software updates are not available", so am I missing something? Is there another step i must do to be able to update my phone from 4.1.2. My phone is the Galaxy S3 SGH-I747M. Thanks for taking the time to read my post!

Try doing 2 things: First do a hard wipe/reset from settings (after backing up your data, of course). Then boot into download mode and see what your settings are especially if you have a custom or official binary. Sometimes though OTA update availability may take 24-48 hours to register. Finally, if you really want to update your phone to the latest OS, this could be done manually and I'd be glad to point you in the direction of this. Since you are still on 4.1.2, I would suggest you take the opportunity to free unlock your phone on 4.1.1 (if you haven't done this already).
Thanks for the reply,
Won't this method delete all my settings (in my phone settings and app settings)?

Yes, it may which is why you need to do a back-up. You could do a simple back with Kies and restore your apps and settings afterwards.
Suggestion
I would use KingoRoot to unroot the phone, without losing anything! (It's free too just Google it)
