Hey
I have been looking for it but did not found a safe source where it shows in detail how to root my Nokia 7.1 with Android one. What exactly does need to be done?
I installed Mystick but it keeps saying i need to run the booloader ....it doesnt seem to work or i could have missed something.
Has anyone the details step by step what has to be done?
Thank you

Hi Guys,
I read all the threads regarding rooting HTC hero but but haven't been able to find how to do same using mac . I downloaded SDK but main issue is, it doesn't have "fastboot" file and has only "adb" file. Can I just use "adb" and go on.
Can someone point me to correct direction. Also, will rooting means I can unlock my phone as it means I will have control over my phone, isn't it ?
Thanks

fastboot is a tool from htc, you need to get it from them. not sure about a mac version, but iirc they offer one.
You can try using the flashrec.apk instead of the fastboot method. It worked for me, as I couldn't get fastboot to work.
you can get the mac version of fastboot here http://developer.htc.com/adp.html

you need to tell us where you get stuck, otherwise these are valid instructions...
Just like craig0r I used flashrec and it worked perfectly. I followed these instructions: http://androidforums.com/htc-hero/19660-guide-installing-modaco-custom-rom.html
I guess you could use any other rooted rom as well. I used Modaco and was then able to install others.
Hello guys, I'm posting this because I couldn't find any information for my questions in the forum. I want to know what does s-off means, does it means that sound will be turned off? Then what's the big idea? Why is s-off needed for flashing roms? What connection does sound has with roms? If s-off means something else please guys explain, because I don't want to start process until I will have as much information as it's possible.
Also there are some forums about easy rooting for example this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2168500 from glevitan, I want to know after I root the phone see this step: "4. Reboot the device and voilá. You are done" does this means that I have rooted phone with same stock rom and it can work just like before only difference that I will be able to have superuser access or should I install custom rom in order to turn on phone?
Also I wanted to know is there anyway now for me to save apps data? as I know there is not because unrooted phone means that one application never allows other to see its own data, but if you know anything please help me.
Thanks in advance, Levani.
S-OFF and Rooting
Hi,
S-OFF means that the NAND portion of the device is unlocked and can be written to. The default setting for HTC’s devices is S-ON, which means that neither can you access certain areas of the system nor can you guarantee a permanent root.
If you want to root your device, please follow these most easy steps to root: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2590736
If you Have S-On device and would like to turn S-OFF, please ask me. Alternative, you can also install custom Rom on an S-On device
Please click on "Thanks" if I helped you
I can't get into the link - unlockroot.com I tried to download that file from another site too, but anti-virus notification poped up. I asked after the process which is described in the link I have written, will I have to install new rom or will the stock rom work without flashing it?

Well, Unlockroot.com seems to be working perfectly fine for me and did not pop up Antivirus notification. You may try a proxy server to download it. Secondly, it will root your stock ROM, no need to flash a new one

Thanks very much... This second reply really was much helpfully for me
So I'm finding a number of projects on hold as I need to root my phone to proceed.
I've found threads about rooting the Blu Dash 3.5 but they all refer to the D170 which is an older phone (dual sim version of the D160) but nothing mentioning the D161 or D171 varieties.
My phone is running Jelly Bean 4.2.2
I keep reading that I'll need a restore image for my phone but can't find one and it seems to extract my own I first need to have rooted the phone which seems to create a bit of a catch 22.
I could root using an image for the D170 but I suspect I'd been opening up a whole can of worms an weeks of pain.
Does anyone have a D161a rooted and able to tell me how or send me a image?
I've got ADB running and seeing my device. I can boot into fastboot mode.

Sigmakey software works with and requires a special hardware device and is used to do carrier unlock on phones. That's not what I need.
Rooted using Kingo Android Root

Got my Blu Dash 3.5 D161a rooted using Kingo Android Root (v1.2.2 i think) download via cnet from link from Kingoapp.com website,
It took quite a while but was a painless one-click solution.
Now I am rooted I'll see if I can upload the stock system and recovery images somewhere (suggestions welcome).
Hello guys I hope I can get some help.
I am all new to the mobile rooting and ROMs and stuff like that.
I am not a noon I know a lot about pc but never got much into this mobile tweaks.
Anyway I saw the cm12 ROM in this forum here and wanted to install it.
My phone was already rooted or unlocked when I bought it it has su manager installed so I think it is rooted and unlocked.
Even when I am at the fastboot menu it says UNLOCKED.
BUT still I am not sure if it is ready to try and install a rom.
So I tried to follow the guide on how to unlock the phone at this forum about HTC one v .
And I got stuck at step 9 I think where I had to go to fastboot mode and connect my microusb to the PC.
There I get the little bubble saying USB device not recognized so I can't continue to do anything with cmd.
So the question is .
Do I even need to do this or is my phone already rooted and unlocked with bootloader.
Is there a way to check this things.
Because I installed ROM manager and tried to install the cm12 ROM from the SD card but it doesn't work it aborts the process pretty quickly.
So I am completely stuck..
If you guys would be nice enough to post some links where I can find out if my device is rooted or not or unlocked or not and how to proceed it would be awesome.
I have searched for hours and tryed many things but nothing worked or I got stuck somewhere .
If someone could guide me through this process I would be really grateful .
Thank you

If the bootloader say unlocked, it is unlocked. You don't have to be rooted, as a root exploit only gives you root access to you current rom, most custom roms have root access by default.
Now reboot into fastboot menu, flash a custom recovery (For cm12 you need my twrp-recovery, because selinux support is needed), reboot into recovery, flash the rom-zip and reboot into fastboot again and flash the boot.img in the zip file.
If you need more help just search for a rom-installing guide here in the forum.
Device: Sony Xperia M C1905
Software: 4.3
Bootloader: Locked
Basically, every single method I have tried to root this phone has failed. All I want to do is have root access to my phone, I want to be able to:
Use CynogenMod (FOR CLASH OF CLANS)
take my apps2SD
Delete any crap from my phone
Full Customization abilities
All this can be achieve by rooting but MY BOOTLOADER IS LOCKED.
There are numerous ways out there that just don't work.
Does anybody know how to first root my phone, and then to have access to a mod?
I want the mod to be able to do all the things I listed previously.
I know this is possible with CynogenMod on other phones, but my bootloader is locked, and I just don't know what to do. Done numerous tutorials, none seem to be working or some don't even have any download links.
If someone could give me a step by step guide on how to mod and root my phone that would be perfect.
I will respond very quick, and will ask you questions if I need help.
I will listen and try to follow your steps, but please give me specific details, I'm not a pro modder.
Thanks
unlock the bootloader from sonys site and then look on cms site for instructions, its noob friendly
