Root my phone!!! HELP
Hi Guys
I've tried root and my cell phone, but it is not. I've tried almost everything I have .. First I tried to root using the terminal emulator''''by typing different commands ..
Also, I tried the program''Visionary''but when I pressed the application so that it was held to root, but then the screen goes black, and I had to press the home button to get out of the situation ..
Also tried I saw another app called ''Universal androot'' and when I pressed root, then came the''Failed! No ~~~~~~~~~ Fu goo ..'' I also tried''app ''superoneclick I pressed the root, also came the''error: protocol fault (no status)''
What should i suppose to do, to fix this problem.. please reply
how long did u wait before u get something up on the screen, when u used ''visionary'' app?
Thaaaanks!!!
I would like to install some apps that require root privileges. On my previous phone (Moto Milestone), we had 2 root procedures: Soft root, that could be achieved my an app, universal one root, and a hard root, which would require flashing various stuff. I understand that HOX has some permanent root procedures, but is there any way of achieving soft root? I do not want to void my warranty yet, and am willing to wait for S-OFF for a few more months.
Are there any soft root methods available for the One X?
none mate. you need to unlock bootloader through htcdev.com
I was having the same consern as you do, but after I received my 3rd HOX (the other two were faulty) , i decided to wait about 8-15 days, and since everything was ok, I unlocked it and rooted it. so far so good.
I spotted this. Haven't tested it myself though.

It work this ?
You must have unlock your bootloader to get root access or not ?
Anyone tried that method? Personally, I am suspicious of any procedure that doesn't come out of XDA..

The comments posted on the article imply that HTC have patched this method. However perhaps it would work with earlier software versions

This only works on the S4 chipset devices.
Hello everyone i am new to the htc one and i know about that temp root method released by justincase. However i recently became aware of TowelRoot, released by geohot. Which apparently is a new way of achieving permanent root for all unpatched roms, which includes the verizon htc one m7. However the device is system/write protected with S-on as i understand. So do i need to temproot, s=off using firewater, then use TowelRoot to permanently root my phone? OR am i just dreaming. Has anyone tried this process, the root exploit is new. Any advice would be greatly appreciated i do now want to brick my device. A link to the TowelRoot article.

Geohot is still around? Wow its been a while since I used his PS3 jailbreak tools.
(Sorry just had a bit of a nostalgia trip there)

this is awesome achievement I am not trying to knock it, but for m7, s-off is s-off why not use weaksauce to temp-root then use the known working firewater for the m7?
just for curiosity sake
Weaksauce no longer works on newest update. Towelroot won't work for us currently because our /system part is write protected. Jcase has informed geohot how to handle this and he will supposedly update his exploit. Should work for us and m8 if and when that happens.
You can find this info in the rumrunner thread in m7 og development btw.

Sweet hopefully he can update it to get us m7 lovers some root action, i love verizons network but the locked bootloaders really suck. It's like driving a Ferrari with bald tires. Powerful phone is basically no more useful than my old droid2, in fact its less useful because i can't even tether or block ads, unbloat ect ect.

Believe me, I know. I just picked up this phone used. They had already taken the newest update. It's the only phone I've never been able to root immediately. It is definitely a lesson in patience.
That being said, foxfi works on this phone without root for tethering and disabling apps at least keeps them from running and cleans up your app drawer.

Worked on mine
Towel root worked on my M7 S-off Unlocked. I was updated to the latest OTA and root worked.

It worked because you were already S-OFF. Those of us who just picked up the phone for whatever reason (warranty replacement, new device, etc) cannot obtain S-OFF currently because there is no root method for the newest update (firewater requires root). Once we have root, we can run firewater and obtain S-OFF. Vicious circle.

I don't understand the question.
This Forum is devoted to the Verizon model of the HTC One. When you just say m7, it might be for Verizon, or AT&T,or some other carrier. If the HTC One is meant to run on Verizon,. it is model m7vzw.
Towelroot Now works for M7
I don't know if anyone has tried this, but I have the latest update for the M7 and have been trying to gain root and S-off. If you download the latest version of towelroot then tap "welcome" 3 times, the mod strings comes up and if you change the last number from "0" to "1" then tap "Make it Rain", you can gain temporary root to the M7. Unfortunately, I still cannot find anything that gives S-off. Firewater, sunshine, rumrunner, none of them have worked. Has anyone got a working s-off exploit? Because even with towelroot, any change I make, like uninstalling bloatware, just gets undone when I reboot the phone.

BTW it is the VZW M7 that I have. It is 100% stock.
If it's actually gaining root then firewater should work.

I will try again tonight. I verified root and it is actually getting root access temporarily using the method i described. Maybe I am doing something wrong with firewater. Will post results tomorrow. Hopefully I will have some luck.
I also got the towelroot temp root confirmed and when I run firewater it enters root but then says "this kernel has an anti-firewater patch, get a new kernel" (not an exact quote) just got my HTC one last week with the new update, was so looking forward to getting a new ROM on this...

Yeah another thread said firewater will not be updated for the VZWm7 but sunshine will be and they're waiting for more devices to be supported before it's released.

They still make 25 bucks a root pop, this is almost encouraging them to update.

He said he won't release his ROOT until more devices need it, not an s-off. As far as I know, there are no s-offs waiting to be released.

Gotcha, maybe i was just hoping it was an s-off method, but even root will be greatly appreciated, I'm not patient enough for this!
im going to make this short and sweet. Ive tried every method on the internet that i can find to root this phone. Methods include; stumproot, towelroot, framaroot, and root methods using the pc and running other programs. My software version is D58110r idk if that is what is stopping it from working or not. Ive also tried to use the lg mobile support upgrade tool just to upgrade to lollipop. im coming from a nexus 5 so this is my first time rooting a non nexus device in years(other one was the lg optimus v on virgin mobile). PLEASE SOMEBODY HELP ME...
Google is your friend. That software version fixed the exploit. You need to downgrade, root and then upgrade using one of a couple different methods out there.
You do not need to downgrade just use this One Click root and honestly its impossible to screw up your phone with this method. This will root your phone regardless of what firmware you are on. Link Provided below:

I can confirm that this method works flawlessly on 10r. I also strongly advise staying on stock root, using SkyDragon !.61 kernel with recommended settings in OP if you want things like your camera and LTE to work without big hassles. I also used Titanium to freeze what little bloat/unused apps, and I can report 0 FC's, and at least 24 hour battery. Ihave gotten as much as 64 hours. Good luck! :good:
Is there any working and safe root for ms428 (k10 metrocps variant)?
I have been looking everywhere. Tried kingoroot but still no go.
I am starting to get frustrated
I'm giving one more week then exchanging it. I too am surprised there's no root method out yet. I bricked and exchanged a device already. No success trying to recover the device either using the Spanish screenshot disaster explanation which doesn't work.

I would say LG Stylo is closest but the camera isn't as good. Lens and size is nice but hardware processing is crap, but seems like every store has been on back order for them and with Stylo 2 out it's probably going to be shelved soon. I have faith in King root for solid success with k10 soon though.

We cant even use link2sd. This phone has 16gb rom but can let us use only 10gb. Smh.
No 3d games for us. And were not even allowed to mount the sd card as internal storage. Only portable.
Maybe the Galaxy J. I loved the Stylo but the GPS didn't work if the phone got hot.
I just got this pjone today because my old one broke and i had no way to research phones
Guy at metro over hyped it
Someone said there is an sd slot well where is it
And no root i even asked yhe ghy if i could root ot he said ya

Well, I can answer one of your questions. The sd card slot over laps the sim card slot.
We're all patiently waiting for root, my friend.

my patience is running out tho hahaha. 8gb worth of system files is crazy. they shouldve just put it as 8gb phone internal. instead of 16gb haha.
I'm running out of patience also. I've posted requests on android forums twice asking why there is no support for this phone and still haven't gotten a reply. It makes no sense whatsoever, when I got my old L70 there was a big support forum for it and the LgK10 is a much better phone so why no support? Pissing me off.
At least I would like a reason from Android Forums for why they have ignored the K10.

I'd buy the L70 again. It was an awesome little phone. Totally agree re: lack of communication. It looks like we had someone post up a failed root attempt about two weeks ago, along with another dev mentioning he'd start on it with no response since.
Devs, we just want to know if there's someone out there actively working on the K10. I can absolutely respect the time it takes to get it done right, but we can't tell if we're waiting on someone or no one.
I'm about ready to jump ship for the J7 or an original G Stylo (if I can get my hands on one). The bloat and stock setup on the K10 are maddening.
Can temp obtain root
I can get root temp using kingroot
Usjng the latest version of kingroot and will either root, or fail all the way to the request research for root button
I lose the root as soon as my phone restarts
The first time I tried it I got root, and phone made no restarts.
The second time I tried to get root back it eventually failed all the way to the research screen but the device did reboot several times during the kingroot root.
The latest time I rooted it the same as the first, no reboot.
I believe part of the problem is keeping kingroot as the superuser app, I think if I replace it with super su it may keep root.
I've seen several people say supersu ends up brick phone

Were suppose to install twrp first before we gain root access?
So that method is a flashable method then?
