Hello (c)ollen!
Do you need the sdk for the Android drivers (for adb)
Or
Just the Motorola drivers?
He is yet to use superoneclick. He tried with z4 and had no success.

Z4 is just for the SGS isnt it?
Anyway, superoneclick is a one button press. Just need the motorola drivers, connect the phone in debug, open SOC and hit root.

Thank you good sir/madam!

i use a defy and the way i rooted mine was just simply downloading superone click, and then the rest is done automatically
if you still feel unsure about that, then just watch a few video tutorials on youtube
just youtube how to root motorola defy,
hope this helps

Im on T-Mobile UK with my Defy and Superoneclick worked perfectly for me. Its also worth going for a different rom as well.
I switched to Cyanogenmod (Quarx not the official) and my phone runs smoother than a babys arse now

I shall let him know. Thanks for the replies. Great community!!

SuperSU performs the usual duties of managing superuser access, unroot with a few added benefits, including logging superuser access, temporary, and it even works in recovery. Here is the complete list of features:
Features:
Superuser prompt superuser access access logging superuser access notifications unroot per-app notification configuration Temporary deep process-detection (no strangers) works in recovery (no more memory access error) will work if Android is not booting properly Works with non-standard shell locations trusts ADB connection is always in the Ghost Mode Wake-on prompt
The Pro version also offers:
OTA Survival mode (no guarantee) Full color-coded command logging content (input / output / error) per app logging configuration per-app user override PIN protection

Greetings to Friends
A few days ago in xperiablog
Root was introduced to the Xperia Z1
http://www.xperiablog.net/2013/09/11/xperia-z1-gets-root/
I 've tested the same time I realized that the Xperia SL
This software can be easily routed
get to share with your friends
Although is very easy
But I will give a simple video tutorial
First, the software VRoot Download the attachment to this post
Or from the manufacturer's site
http://www.mgyun.com/vroot
1 - Install drivers for your phone
2 - Activate the option in your phone Enabled usb debugging
Settings / Developer options
3 - After opening the software and USB cable to connect your phone
4 - When was your phone program
Right click the first option
As shown
Your phone will then reboot
And successful Root the message on the screen
This method will work on most Sony devices
If it is successful, then reboot the phone, the application icon will appear in Root
Note : The root of the problem
SuperSU flash files from the recovery menu, select
Thanks
Amir

Thank you!!
This is brilliant, Genius, Easy, Hassle Free, worked on my Acro S like a charm!!!!

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?

Hi. I'm currently trying this one but VRoot is taking a long time recognizing my phone. Any idea guys why?

Tried it on a chinese tablet Nextway F8X which nothing else could root, and that worker like BOSS!!! BRAVO!!!

Just wonder how it works... Somebody can explain that? I'm not so optimistic to tools like this.

[Q]Write Protection?

The New Desire 816w is quite good a device and I have successfully flashed CWM Recovery & SuperSU. It looks SuperSU is running well and root access have been achieved. I also "successfully" deleted apps shipped with the device and installed google apps by coping files into /system/app and /system/pri-app. But after reboot all apps deleted were reinstated while newly added google apps disappeared. The interesting thing is Superuser.apk is lying in /system/app which I think it's due to flash instalation through recovery. I searched online and found wp_mod.ko might be the problem but I can't find it in /system/lib/modules in my device.
Please help and advise....

Write protection is enabled on all HTC devices by default.
To disable it you have to flash wp_mod.ko module by flar2 that defeats it or flash a custom kernel.
As there isn't available wp_mod for this device nor custom kernels you might ask @flar2 to look into it and help you or wait for kernel source code.

Flar released a write protection module in original development, but I haven't tried it yet.
I flashed PA's full 4.4.2 gapps over the stock ROM in recovery and it's all good. Have the Play store and services and everything works. Any changes you make in recovery will stick.
Of course, make a backup before attempting this.

[TUT][ROOT][ALL VERSIONS] Nokia X Rooting Guide (v 1.1.2.2) (v11.1.1)

Nokia X Rooting Guide for all versions.​
Hello Everyone. Today I wanted to create a full and final Tutorial on how to root Nokia X. Whether you are on v 11.1.1 or have updated to v1.1.2.2.
Step-by-step guide:
1. Download and install Nokia X Usb Drivers (if you haven't).
2. Download Nokia X ToolKit from here.
3. Set your device to USB Debugging and connect it to your PC.
4. Run the Nokia X Toolkit. You will see this screen:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
5. Choose Option 21.
6. Let it work and after a while you'll find your phone booted into CWM.
7. There goto Mounts And Storage --> Mount System.
8. Then choose Flash Zip from SD Card.
9. There you'll find a zip of Superuser. Flash it.
10. After flashing, you should choose Reboot.
11. It will give you a prompt about fixing CWM. Just select NO.
12. Done. You will be rooted now.
I hope this works. Tested by me. So Enjoy. Credits to Ethan for this magnificent Toolkit.
P.S: Much better than KingRoot and other methods, I believe.

I had flashed my stock rom with CWM 6.0.4.8
so could you give me stock recovery img or root.zip

Thank you!
I've been looking for it for several hours

You only need to root after update v 1.1.2.2. No need to install g-apps again. Yes, choose option 9 and root. G-Apps donot need to be re-installed again.

It says clearly that more than one android device are connected to your computer. You need to de-attach the other phone and connect only Nokia X to your computer.
