The most easy way to root / unroot your phone through pc - Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking

Ive seen all kinds of ''easy'' phone rooting. Here is how I rooted mine.It doesnt matter what phone you have because the software auto detects it and you just need literally 2 clicks to root it.
http://www.mobogenie.com/
1. Go in ''Settings'' to "developer options'' on your phone to turn on ''USB debugging'' so the drivers to be installed & the PC read your device. You don't want to have other phone drivers on the PC or another ''phone'' program turned on.
2. Download this application. install it. The program have build-in root option.
(I think there is no need to tell you the phone must be linked with usb cable to the PC )
3. After ''Mobogenie'' links to your phone go to ''toolkit" & under ''Advanced tools'' you will see ''Óne-click Root'' -click it - it will detect your phone and ask you if you really want to root your phone & after that you are 1 click away from rooting your phone. Thats it . After that if you want or need to you can UNROOT it from the same button.
If PC doesn't recognize the phone unplug it & plug it again or restart the PC.
p.s. I saw similar post with MOBOROBO but there you must install another program VROOT and so on. I think ''my'' method is simpler & easier. Here is a link to that post.

[Q] Problems with SEMC flash drivers ACRO S

Well Hello everyone! i'm new to the site, but always being following a few post, so i'll give as much details as possible so you know what is happening let's get to it then.
PS: I have already rooted a device my ARC S and it was in the first try, i say this just to you guys know i have an idea of how easy the process should be.
I have an Acro S LT26W
6.2.b.1.96
Flashtool (downloaded from the youtube link below) version 9.11 for windows
The unknow sources are ON, and all the options i need for the phone to work with the rooting process
I use windows XP
i'm trying to root the device, i installed the flashtool and its drivers, the sony programs, both of them, the sony companion found the phone, the update service program, well when i do the turn off the phone and doing the flash mode steps, the computer freezes and the phone is never found...
I made the steps here www.youtube.com/watch?v=DSsZ7pAJcew the ones of checking the drivers, the flash tool found the phone on debugging mode (the phone is on)(when i did this it installed abd or something like that driver) but, when i finally load the kernel 211 and prepare the phone to flash mode (turn off the phone, press the volumen down botton, hold and connect the usb) the computer says the semc driver is not properlly installed then i have to reset the computer because it freezes just like the update service.... what might be happening in here? i installed the ACRO S for ICS driver, the fastboot and the flashtool driver (the last two options in the flashtool drivers pack) but the problem is still there...
i have the kernel of this site http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2418991 and i follow the steps of this site http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2417672 (pretty sad i even get to 3rd step)
Question... (yes another one)
When i connected the phone to the pc to check if the flashtool driver was properlly instaled (debugging mode on) the icon of "root device" appeared, is there something we can do with it? i mean, maybe another way to root the phone? i spent the last 6 hours reading and trying but nothing worked and it's so easy to root a device if you have the proper tools.. i hope you can help me, its driving me crazy omg...
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Well i have good news and i want to ask you guys to check for this "way to root" because it was pretty stupid because of the easy it is.... ok
Now after i couldn't root the phone the way it is posted here, i was looking at you-tube and found a Spanish video about rooting the device, so i decided to give it a try, and wtf, it worked...
Now the steps are these... the video said that IT'LL WORK FOR ANY XPERIA JELLY BEAM DEVICES
(for installing the ROOT program, turn off your anti virus)
1- Go here www.mgyun.com/vroot download the Chinese rooting program and install it. NO NEED TO KNOW CHINESE FOR THIS.
2- Plug the USB cable to your pc
3- Prepare the phone, debugging mode ON
4- Open the rooting program and plug your phone to the pc with the USB cable
5- Wait until the program do its work and don't touch your phone.
6- Once your phone is done, it'll be automatically restarted and it be rooted
7- check the root with "root checker" or other you like
8- Done.
If you want to delete the Chinese root program in your phone follow the next steps.
1- Download SUPER SU program in your phone
2- Grant SUPER SU program root permissions and update the binary plus select NORMAL mode
3- SUPER SU program will find that there's another root program and it'll ask you witch program do you want to use, select SUPER SU and the chinese program will be deleted.
THAT'S ALL....
PD: Ok, now all that was in spanish i just translate it the best i could, this is the video link if someone wants to see it www.youtube.com/watch?v=raIR4ms6xds&list=PLmMm_rKgxjOpQ58IHzbbp1wgCVoSde692&index=2 again, would like to ask for someone to check this and share the way to root the phones if it is 100% safe and no tricks under the table.

I think this is the only way to root acro s in .96 firmware. Rooting is actually very easy if you are familiar with it and it will take around 10minutes to get it done Since you are using .96 firmware, here are the actual steps for rooting your acro s (yes, i have simplified making it more easier to read)
1. install sony pc companion(for the your device drivers of course), fastboot and flash mode drivers
2. flash the .200 or .211 kernel (because the doomlord toolkit only support rooting on acro s with .200 and .211 kernel, the latest .96 did not included, so we need to downgrade the kernel for rooting)
3. root the device using the toolkit
4.flash back the .96 kernel
5.done
Before start, you will need to prepare these things
1. usb cable
2. rooting toolkit(credits to DooMLoRD) http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2327473 (download the latest v17)
3. .211 kernel and .96 kernel http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2418991
4. flashtool
If you done preparing all the files, lets get it started (with detail steps)
1. install sony pc companion http://www.sonymobile.com/my/tools/pc-companion/
2. After installing, plug in your phone, drivers should automatically install after that
3. Install the fastboot and flash mode drivers from the flashtool folder
4. After done all these steps, your device should be properly detected by your computer
The next part is flashing kernel(make sure sony pc companion is not running in background as it may interfere the flashing process)
1. extract both the kernel just now you downloaded to the firmware folder in flashtool
2. run the flashtool
3. click the thunder icon and choose flash mode
4. choose .211 kernel from the list and click flash (ignore the selections beside the list)
5. wait for awhile and a window should pop out to tell you plug in your device
6. now power off your phone, plug in your phone while pressing volume down button, release the button when green led appears
7. your device now will connect in flash mod and start flashing kernel
8. once it is done, it should tell you to reboot your device
9. now your device should running .211 kernel
Now you can root your device http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2327473 steps are provided in the thread:laugh:
After rooting, you will see supersu or superuser in your apps drawer
Now you have successfully rooting, now what you do is revert the kernel back to .96, steps are same as above and make sure to choose .96 kernel in flashtool
Hope this will help you in your problem

[Q] Galaxy Ace II cannot be detected by PC (XP/W7/W8)

Hello, I'm the new guy, kind of (I'm new to this forum but somewhat a technological handyman, so to speak).
I had recently obtained a Samsung Galaxy Ace II, everything was going good on the phone, hell, it's what? Two years old now? Anyway, I noticed the immense trouble I've been having trying to get several Windows PCs/laptops to detect anything from the phone, no driver updates, installations, not even from the trustworthy SAMSUNG Kies application. It is becoming a real problem as I really want to keep this phone, root it, installing several ROMs as I go along, but no, the computers won't even allow me to access the contents of my SD card through USB.
(Note: I have manually downloaded and installed SAMSUNG USB drivers and pooft, still nothing!)
I have tried quite a few methods to allow the PCs to establish a connection with the phone e.g. Dialing "*#7284#*, accessing "PhoneUtil", choosing "PDA" as the good mode, even switching to "MODEM" then back to "PDA"; Uninstalling/Reinstalling drivers; Attempting Kies.
I guess I am on the look out for a new-ish phone to replace this, which saddens me as I love being able to root, install various ROMs, Kernels etc, personally I like this phone too, more than my Spica running ICS (couldn't be too hard though, it wasn't stable whatsoever).
If anyone on this board could find a solution to this problem for me, I would be ever so grateful, I don't doubt it though, I love the work of XDA. Thank you.
Turn off the phone with no cable attached, press volume down, home and power at the same time and then volume up to put it in ODIN mode and connect it to the PC (use windows vista or newer so it auto installs the driver) It should install something like Samsung USB serial device. Tell if it works
Do I have to load it into ODIN mode whilst Odin is running on my PC?

For this test you dont need ODIN on the PC. Its only to see if the PC recognizes the phone

I just tested this and it appears not to be working, whatsoever. Is it necessary to have all SAMSUNG USB drivers installed on the PC?
Thank you for the idea, though. I just really want to root/mod my phone, ugh.

Windows should auto install the drivers. Connect the phone to the PC and see in device manager if there is something like an unknoen device or Samsung USB device

Thank you for the help, although my problem is not dealt with still. I have completed the steps that you had suggested, thoroughly and repeatedly, yet there is no hope for a permanent, or even temporary fix for my mobile.
Windows isn't displaying any correlation between my PC and phone, no driver software auto-installs and no sign of the device being located in the Device Manager, not even under an "Unknown device".
Is this a problem for most Ace II devices? Or am I missing something that is too obvious to consider so seriously?
Porobu once told me something like:
1. Uninstall kies and sammy usb drivers
2. Install kies again, it should promt to install USB drivers.
3. Plug in phone to pc in DL mode.
I'm not sure what you mean in your 1st post so im assuming you have yet to try this. Works for me
When do I plug the USB into the phone and boot my phone into download mode? As soon as the drivers are installed via Kies?

After kies installation complete(dont have to open), boot phone to download mode, connect to cable and plug to pc
It sounds like a broken microusb port but try something first.
Download ubuntu or any other live cd linux distro
Boot it on your pc. You dont need to install anything.
Open a terminal
*Plug the phone while it is turned on to the PC
Write in the terminal 'lsusb' without the quotes and press enter
Something like Samsung android device or MTP device should appear.
If it doesnt appear power off the phone and go to odin mode and repeat from the * the steps

[Q] connecting issue of nexus i9250 in debug mode

its connecting fine normally as mtp

in device manager it shows this
i have wasted more than 1hr but still nothing
kindly some1 help me

You should be asking these questions on a Windows forum.
You need to right click Android 1.0 device... Update Driver (basically, tell Windows Device Manager that the driver for the "Android 1.0" device is in that folder you got there)... it will install it, and that part is done. Then reboot the device to fastboot mode and manually update the driver again (it will come up as a different, yet again unknown device, you just feed it the same driver again)
Also... for the operations you're mentioning... "root, unlock bootloader, install cwm, flash rom".... you probably won't even need ADB, just fastboot. As in, you don't need to root before all that. You root in the end. And most custom roms are already rooted too.
This is assuming there's an exploit out there that still allows for root to be achieved without unlocking the bootloader.

Help son's New Tablet

Hi Guys,
Bought a used but like new Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 8.0 wi-fi (SM-T310) for my boy.
It's installed with latest stock firmware (T310XXUBNH3) and I need some guidance to root it.
I do not to mess around with the kid’s tablet, I just want to root it, so to be able to uninstall all system apps and do other simple stuff.
I have searched Google and what I found, is that root has to be through ODIN.
I have downloaded the files (ODIN and Root) and when I put the tablet in download mode Odin does not recognize it.
I'm using Windows 8.1 Pro and I noticed that in Device Manager, it’s showing as unknown device. When I try to update the driver only gives me the option to install it as a samsung modem usb, but even after that, keeps showing as unknown.
I have Kies installed and the drivers, supposedly installed, since with the tablet connected, the computer recognizes it immediately.
My problem is then the Download Mode, I’m positive because its missing the correct drivers.
I have also tried to switch cables, very dumb I know, but I had to try.
So my questions are:
1. where can I find the correct drivers for Download Mode?
2. Is there any other and simple way of rooting this baby?
Thanks guys

Download THIS.
Extract and run the UniversalADBDrivers file. That will install ADB drivers. Ensure that you have enabled USB debugging under the Developer Options in settings on the tablet. If you don't see the Developer Options, tap the "build number" 10-12 times to enable it.
If it still doesn't work, you will need to ffnd a Windows 7 or XP computer.
fantastic!
thats worked like a gem.
thanks a lot m8
