Hi,
I had version 6.2.1 and i root it and everything was great could use the Market (Play) and so on , after upgrading i could still use the market and install things although i read that upgrading to 6.3 kills the root , nevertheless i did KUF and it worked ok and i get the TWRF and i can also get into it , however i would like to know how can i know if my Kindle has been root, entering the Market i see the same application and everything is working OK .
so first question:
1. after KUF how can i know that my kindle has been rooted correctly
2. after finishing the KUF my computer doesn't recognize the Kindle not matter what i do , even try to re-install he drives - strange btw i see in the device manager android phone - android ADB interface , i'm trying a fresh OS.
3. how come i cant see all application in the market only some of them, is it cause the market can see that it's a Tablet
Thanks

One more small issue
I can transfer many application that arent visible in the market like for instance Kayak however i when i try to install them i got an error that application didn't install, i don't know why , anybody ? is it any log that i can check ?
Tanks for the Help

To tell if you are rooted, download and install "Terminal Emulator" from the market. From the terminal type "su" without quotes. If your prompt changes from $ to #, or you get a "Superuser" request, you are rooted.
As far as the Market is concerned, only apps that are known to be compatible with your device will show (unless you edit your build.prop). Some will still work but you'll have to download them from other sources i.e. Google search NameofApp.apk...just stay away from paid apps with this method.

Hi, just received an Vsun i9 (also announced as Peter Pan) bought from China (Aliexpress). MTK6577 1Ghz, 512Mb 4Gb ROM, Android 4.0.4
It came without Play Store (and crashes if installed manually) , the google account doesn't sync, etc. etc. so it's the kind of phone chinese goverment loves (unfortunatelly for me)
I've tried to root with Superoneclick and z4root, but didn't suceed
I tried to install alternative market, like Getjar, but it seems it calls to Play Store apk, and also crashes with some downloads
Any ideas will be welcome

Try this root method in the signature "Micromax A68"

Thanks for the suggestion.
The Micromax A68 seems to be based on a non 3G chipset and is not dual core (MTK6577 is) should it work?

I looked for Micromax A68 in the forums and saw your post about unlocking it ... but probably because I am a newby I and never rooted before got lost among so much roms and downloads and din't manage to unlock (at least yet)
Anyway thank you for showing me the path, will keep investigating, I suppose it's part of the fun, even when my wife doesn't like having an android phone without acces to market
Finally I managed to root this Vsun i9, using Root_with_Restore_by_Bin4ry_v18
Now the cellphone is rooted, and with Super User installed, and also installed root explorer.
Next problem is that Play Store keeps crashing if installed, the Google account still doesn't sync and most of the solutions I found require copying files to /system/app , but when using Root Explorer I am not allowed to write on that folder.
By investigating, I understand I will need to install the gapps package (or install a rom that work with this phone), if I want to have the syncing and play store,
Can someone give me some clues about how to proceed next?
----
Just adding some useful info for people with same model.
When trying Superoneclick (that was always freezeing on Zerg Rush Step #7 on my Windows8), I was asked to execute as administrator.
I thought it would be good idea to run as administrator also Root_with_Restore_by_Bin4ry_v18, but was always receiving errors from the batch script, so I just thought it was not working,
Finally excuted once as normal user, choosed the "1) Normal", and that was all, my phone rooted!.
Don't forget to turn on the USB debugging option on the phone options.
I found that with Root Explorer there's a "mount r/w" option that let's you full access to system folders XD
Hello! I am thinking on buy this phone. Can you tell me how does it works? What do you think in general terms?
Is it a good phone? How about camera?
I have found the last ROM V0013 "VSUN_MT6577_4X4_OV5647_R007_02_CHINESE_V0013_TXD.rar" in a Chinese forum. Is it your phone rom?
If I update with this rom, can I root using Root_with_Restore_by_Bin4ry_v18 after that?
Thanks you so much!
Sorry for my English!
Any solution
I just recived my Vsun I9 and the phone is amazing for the money, but I have the same problem as everybody ells, Google play doesent work, has anyone find a solution?
Hans
PS I can recommend Amazon appstore as an temporary solution.

How google play works on vsun i9
Dear Guys:
When you have a vsun i9 like me, root him and copy the google play app into the system map and install it from there with root explorer and everything works fine, because that app need all rights. Good luck. :good:

Hoi Hans:
Try it with SRSroot setup (google the program) install and let the program do the work for you
You will need internet on the pc that root the phone but it works.
And now google playstore
- Step 1: Uninstall google playstore.apk
- Step 2: Enable 'USB debugging' on your device (you can find this in the settings menu)
- Step 3: Enable 'Unknown Sources' on your device (Also under settings)
- Step 4: Connect your device to the computer (If needed install the android drivers)
- Step 5: Click on one of the ROOT options in this software (you can choose between supersu or superuser), and wait till it's finished.
- Step 6: Download root explorer.apk and install it on your device.
- Step 7: Download google playstore.apk and copy this file into the system/app/ map of your phone with root explorer.
When it's not allowed to past the file look at the top of the screen and change the properties of root explorer to read and write (mount r/w to mount r/o).
- Step 8: Change now the permissions of that app to
Owner = read write
Group = read
Others = read
- Step 9: Then install the playstore.apk from this place en restart your phone when done.
- Step 10: Now you have a full working playstore app on your mobile
Hi all,
I have searched high and low for a straightforward method to root Sony Xperia Z1, D5503, 14.6.A.1.236, Android 5.1.1
and all I have found are either: outdated methods, overly convoluted methods involving downgrading the firmware and flashing custom recovery, and lastly, shady malware-like programs like KingRoot.
I do not want to unlock the bootloader, loose DRM protected functionalities, loose warranty, or change Sony's operating system.
All I want is a clean and reversible method to gain root, install Xposed framework and maybe delete some Sony's bloatware.
Is that possible?
Thanks.

Thanks, but I prefer to find an alternative to KingRoot, because:
- People on this forum claim KingRoot connects to multiple Chinese IPs long after finishing the root process.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=63787618&postcount=2641
according to my own sandbox analysis of KingRoot PC program:
- KingRoot EXE modifies WINDOWS\\win.ini WTF?!
- adds a Tcpip\Parameters to send keep-alive transmissions. WTF?!
- Spawns a lot of processes WTF?!
- Creates files in windows directory WTF?!
- Terminates other processes using taskkill WTF?!
- Installs itself for autorun at Windows startup WTF?!
all of the above are completely unnecessary for what this app is supposed to do and very malware-like.
- Also, I have seen automated replies that say KingRoot is the best ever and it is perfect in various forums topic around the internet where people where questioning KingRoot's reputation.
At this point I am pretty sure KingRoot exe & apk are malwares. I would not touch it with a 10 foot pole.
I want to actually use my phone & PC, not ruin them with virus!
My analysis of the KingRoot Andoird App:
Has the ability to identify network operator related data "android.telephony.TelephonyManager.getSimOperator
WTF?! WHY?
Has the ability to get the wifi MAC address (may be used to fingerprint device)
Has the ability to query the phone location (GPS)
Has the ability to read the device ID (e.g. IMEI or ESN)
Has the ability to read a list of running processes/installed packages
Permission request for "android.permission.CAMERA" WTF?!
Permission request for "android.permission.WRITE_SMS" WTF?!
android.permission.CLEAR_APP_CACHE Allows an application to clear the caches of all installed applications on the device. WTF?!
same as the Windows EXE, I do not want this malware near my daily driver phone.

Once you're rooted, you can wipe everything and change root.
I second the OP request: a root method not using KingRoot.
If it doesn't exist could you please point me to the outdated methods involving downgrading etc. the OP is referring to ? I now have fw 14.6.A.1.236 and locked booloader.

It's not hard, but takes quite a bit of setup and downloading. You need Flashtool, phone drivers, (Flashtool can provide), a KK ftf file, a KK root tool, (there are several), a recovery installer, and a LP prf file. Basically:
- Flash KK stock fw with Flashtool
- Use root tool to root, (there were several one-click tools back them, search xda)
- Install recovery, xzdr pc installer by NUT is best option
- Download .236 prf file from 'general' forum, and flash in recovery
(Personal opinion - the issue with Kingroot, even if there is any validity to the privacy fears, is only if you are trying to save your data, etc, which is going to be tricky with downgrading etc, anyway. Once you're rooted, you can wipe your whole system, including Kingroot, and flash SuperSU or whatever you want, with a whole new ROM)
Thanks for the answer and for your opinion, I'll wonder about that. Just in case: are you aware of an app to use at the end of the process that could advise me if my phone will try to contact unknown sites ?
This is completely different story.
For myself I modified /etc/hosts, it's size is now about 15Mb pointing all crap to 127.0.0.1.
Hell of traffic is avoided.
There are threads related.
I need some assistance trying to find a method to root my Dash M (which appears to be extremely rare to find a rooting method for).
I already tried framaroot (tool I used to root my tablet before) and Kingroot and such, but none were able to do it (and all google searches led to videos on rooting a BLU Dash 5.0 or another device from the Dash range, which isn't what I needed).
The Dash M is running Android 5.1 and custom build BLU_D030U_V16_GENERIC 28-01-2016 15:41
If anyone could help it'd be very much appreciated c:
Unlock OEM in developer mode and try it whit Kingroot

I have a Blu Advance 5.0, from the same exact family. In May, they had an OTA sent out to it to update the security. And little did I know, that meant no more root. Before the OTA to V06, I was on V04, and was able to root with Kingroot in less than a minute, perfectly. After the update, nothing good came of it.
For the past months I've tried hundreds of things to flash custom roms and recoveries (which I figured it out eventually) and then it crashed, due to a "damaged OTA". This meant that it couldn't update because I was rooted.
So here's the solution... If there's any older versions of your model or chipset (AKA Mediatek D030UX, D030U {MT6580}), download that firmware to your computer desktop as a (.zip) file. Then download the SP Flash Tool (Smart phone flash tool) from their website, and plug your phone into your computer via Media Transfer (MTK).
If you already have developer's options enabled, skip this.
- Go into your settings, go all the way down to "About Device", and find where it says "Build Number" (which will most likely have the phone brand in the file name). Tap on that about 8 times until it give a toast notification saying "Developer's Mode Enabled".
After you get that done, go back into your regular setting and now there should be a box above your "About Device" button that says "Developer Options". Tap that, then turn them on (press OK/YES if a prompt pops up) and then select the following options ,if available.
-OEM Unlock
-USB Debugging
Now plug your phone into a computer and install the drivers for your phone (it should do it automatically) and launch the SP Flash Tool that you had downloaded (extract to desktop before you launch, or it will show "error"). Now open the SP Flash tool and click on the "Scatter Loading" button. Navigate to your desktop, and find the firmware folder you downloaded. Click on that, then click on "Firmware", and it should bring up a .TXT file (Scatter file) with the desired firmware version you want. Click on it and press open.
A chart will appear in the space below with all the things the firmware has built in. All of them should be checked. Take out your battery now (from your phone) and plug the phone in without the battery. Wait for the model on the left to name your device, and click on the drop down list above the chart, it should give 3 options. Firmware Upgrade, Download only, and Format All + Download. Press Format All + Download. The bar at the bottom will turn a few colors, depending on what it's doing.
Now you're done! It's flashed. From that version, try to figure out a way of rooting it.
WARNING: Flashing erases all data on device, please backup to an external storage (SD CARD), before attempting this, in case you brick your device.

i know this is an old thread but.... i rooted mine (Dash M) with KingoRoot (look it up on Google)... i tried lots of stuff with no results, everything failed (i've already tried to root with KR in windows) but the only thing that worked was rooting with the android app in KR page... i felt really stupid after trying everything with no results when i've been using KR for other "hard phones".... either way, the only downside is that their SU manager displays all the time ads no matter where in the phone you are... but you can freeze the app to fix this and unfreeze it when you need to assign permissions....
BTW: its KingoRoot not kingroot (just in case)
After dealing with KingRoot, Kingo Root and iRoot with all of their add-on apps and the awesome adware they install I was fed up, plus the fact that there was no "really easy" way to get rid of their files and keep root to install SuperSu or have the problem of "su being occupied"
So I decide to do some searching for something less complicated and found Dr. Fone.
This is a true one click root that installs the real SuperSu, Busy Box binaries and gives the King the boot in less than ten minutes.
I confirm this method works on my Alcatel One Touch Fierce 2 7040N (Metro PCS) and I'm sure it may work on many other devices.
I didn't have to delete or freeze any other root apps before re-rooting. You can do the cleanup with any descent root file explorer after Dr. Fone is done. The process took less than ten minutes for the root.
Hopefully this will help somebody out.
Another word of advice is don't use iRoot because it will install relentless adware and garbage apps on your phone and render it useless.
Connect your phone to the computer using a USB cable. If your Android version is 4.2.2 or above, you will get a pop-up message on your phone.
click on "OK" to allow USB debugging. Then dr.fone will automatically recognize your device and install the proper drivers and adb.
After your phone is connected just follow the prompts. The detecting process will take a few minutes depending on different phone models.
You can also unroot with this tool.
