Hi guys, this is my first tut here, about an alternative way for rooting my S6500D...
Q : Why do I need this? There is a better and easy way already using CWM....
A : This tut will only give you root access, without a busybox, CWM, etc. If you want Root+BB+CWM, please follow an other TUTs.
Okey, Here we go...
This TUT is based on "poot" exploit created by giantpune from androidforums.com (We should thanks him/her)
He/She create this exploit for LG Optimus Elite originally, but mod it to work for several phone model.
He said that this exploit will work on android version 2.3.5 - 2.3.7. Thats why I try this on Jena
Giantpune from androidforums, posted original application and some modded apk to work with other phone.
To respect his work and his thread, I only attached a working apk that root my Mini 2.
And provide his thread's link, so you can download all poot apks from there, thanks him and his team, and maybe donating him.
Here is the link : http://androidforums.com/elite-all-things-root/612914-optimus-elite-root-apk.html
Requirement :
- poot-debug.apk for h866c (Huawei ascend Y). I tried another version, but fail.
- Ministro II. You can download it from Playstore.
- Please remove your SD card.
Step by step :
1. Install Ministro II from Play Store.
2. Install poot-debug.apk for h866c. I already attached it.
3. Create Poot shortcut to Home.
4. Turn on USB Debugging in the Settings>Application>Developement
5. Open Poot, it will request to download some Ministro library. This library needed by poot to work. You will need an internet connection.
6. After all library downloaded, close Poot. Its better to reboot our phone first.
7. Let the phone boot completely. If you have much app installed, kill all running app, so nothing can interrupt this exploit.
8. Open Poot, tap "Press Here to Poot" button.
- If the phone reboot suddenly, try again this step.
- If Poot app show an error log, like error : 87 or 22, reboot your phone and try again.
- If it still fail, try to reboot your phone. When lockscreen showed up, immediately unlock it while system scanning storage. Open Poot quickly (thats why I want you to put a shortcut in home). Then tap "Press Here to Poot".
9. If Poot show log like "successfully push su file to /system/xbin...bla..bla...bla", then you have successfully rooted your phone.
10. After a successful poot, Poot will show 3 option:
- Get Superuser = it will open Play Store straightly to Superuser by ChainsDD page. Install it to manage root access.
- Get Root Checker Basic = it will open Play Store to Root Checker Basic page. If you want to check root access using this app, download it.
- Built-in Root Checker = Instead of download Root Checker Basic, you can use this built in feature.
11. After Superuser installed, dont forget to update su binary file from it.
12. Its done!!! now you have a rooted Mini 2.
Note: I have tested original poot for LG Optimus Elite, Cherry W100, and PCD Venture without success. If your phone can not be rooted with poot for h866c, I advice you to try another versions.
The advantage of this method :
- This method of rooting will not increase your custom bin, because you dont need to flash CWM.
- You dont need a PC to root Jena.
Disadvantage :
- You need to install/download Superuser by ChainsDD + BusyBox manually. This exploit only push su file (Superuser's su file by ChainDD) to /system/xbin.
Note: If you want to flash CWM, we need to wait mobile Odin compatible with our device. Therefore, if you want CWM very badly...I suggest you to flash it using PC.
Credits:
- giantpune from androidforums.com, who made the exploit.
- me, who try and test this exploit on Jena all night long :crying:
PM me, if someone should be listed on Credits
Really nice, very god man. But Triangle Away is working for our phones so there's no problem regarding bin counter
Thanks man
Yup, triangle away worked as you said. But I never try it yet tho. I bought a new Jena 1month ago, and I dont want to loose my warranty.
Thats why I search another way to root safely, without worries
Maybe this tuts dedicated for someone like me, who didnt have a PC or notebook yet.
Well that's something new. Portable rooting where you're in a car without CWM?
In all seriousness, it's great to see great things show up for our Jena, like this and MIUI, and TWRP, and CM 10, and OC Kernels, and many other stuff.
It's you people who make this phone awesome.
I have a question, is the "su" binary the latest one?
Yup, we hope Jena community will grow up like mini I
No, it is not. We need to update it to the latest version, after Superuser installed.
Iam still figuring out how to migrate to CWM superuser tho. Its Open Source, and looks like better security.
BusyBox can be installed downloading Busybox installer from play store
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=stericson.busybox
and maybe CWM can be installed with mobile odin (i don't know)
i am saying this because I am an admin of a spanish blog and many people ask us for a way to root and install CWM without PC,
Maybe I miss spelling something...
Or you dont understand what I mean
I mean superuser.apk by clockworkmod, or koush's superuser.
If I want CWM, I will not root using this method
Yup, thats busybox installer that I mean
I was only thinking in a way to install CWM for users that don't have PC. I am a admin of a Spanish blog and many people want it.
And in sOme other devices ROM MANAGER can install CWM. maybe it's possible with mobile Odin or rom manager, I guess
Rom Manager can brick the mini 2, because it's not compatible with mini 2 I think.

Finally, I didn't send it because I am using squadzone's kernel, so maybe it's different
But maybe it'll be useful to send one using CM10 (is more compatible)
I read somewhere that mobile Odin works on Ace Plus which has exactly the same partition layout as Mini 2. Also, since we don't need any specific file which contains the info about our partition layout (like ops file for some devices) while flashing something, it's pretty generic therefore mobile odin should work.

Finally, a confirmation from a genious person
Maybe yes sir, it should work for our device.
But chainfire's mobile odin wont let us use it, if our device is not compatible.
Maybe, just maybe, (I dont know how it work ) mobile odin read our build.prop and compare them to it's device compatibility database.
If those not match, it just showing black screen, and an intructions to dump a log, then close it self.
Hopes he/she make it worked for Mini2 someday

write private msg to chainfire mayby he do MO for Jena, but in OP chainfire i see many spam and hm 4 post from galaxy mini 2 users, this device is not popular and low range so chainfire do not even think about develop app to this phone. its my opinion...
well, yes, this is not popular. For reference, my latest CM10 build for Mini 1 is downloaded like 20k times. When I uploaded the first CM10 build in the first day it got 5k downloads. Mini 2 barely get 1k downloads in months. Mini 1 is quite popular, even after 2 years of its release. Perhaps it will change after camera is fixed.

How to root VZW Galaxy Tab 2 7.0 LTE
RECOMMENDED METHOD
07/09/2014
Working root method by geohot. This is now the recommended method!
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2783157
CAN ALSO WORK ON VRBMI1
It has been said the following root method: saferoot
Has been able to root VRBMI1. Give this a try before using the system image below.
****
!!!!WARNING!!!!
Many of you have been complaining about broken wifi and other issues.
I do not own this tablet anymore, which means I can no longer support it.
Verizon/Samusung released a new update: VRBMI1
Check your firmware version
THE LAST VERSION SUPPORTED BY THIS GUIDE IS VRBLL2.
IF VERIZON/SAMSUNG CHANGED THE KEYS THEY SIGN THEIR FIRMWARE WITH, THAN ANY ATTEMPT TO DOWNGRADE/UNLOCK MAY POTENTIALLY BRICK YOUR DEVICE.
This has been seen on the VZW Galaxy S4 and just recently the VZW Galaxy S3 (The VZW Tab 2 is a clone of the S3!)
If you are on the latest build (VRBMI1), then it is entirely possible things will not work. It is also possible the bootloader unlock may brick your device.
If the root method doesn't work, flash a stock odin tar for VRBLL2.
AGAIN... IF VERIZON/SAMSUNG CHANGED THEIR KEYS, YOU MAY BRICK!
If you are on VRBMI1 and have semi-bricked using this method, flash this stock ODIN image using ODIN 3.04.
DO NOT CHECK RE-PARTITION, FLASH LOCK, OR LED CONTROL

Are other apps such as TB, Terminal, or AdFree Android able to gain root privileges? If so, then Busybox Installer may have been denied. Check Superuser and remove it from the Denied list if it's there. After removing it, try again and make sure to tap "Allow" when it asks.
EDIT: Downloaded that app to test. SU asked if I wanted to grant SU permissions, tapped 'Grant'. All is fine. If it's NOT in the SU denied list, Force Close the app. Reopen it and it should ask.
This is awesome. Thanks! One thing - is there a way to stop the OTA update nag?

Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda app-developers app
Thanks, I did that. I also noticed in system/app there were SDM.apk and SDM.odix. I went ahead an renamed them SDM.apk.bak and SDM.odix.bak. I'm hoping this will get rid of the nag notification. One last thing - the update tried to run overnight once but CWM stopped it. When I woke up the tab was sitting on the CWM screen. Since then every time I reboot the tab it acts as if dalvik cache was cleared (I get the "android is upgrading - optimizing applications" screen before the tab loads). I think OTA set a reboot/clear cache flag somewhere I need to clear, but I don't know where that is set. Any ideas? Thanks again.
That will get rid of it. As for the reboot issue, have you tried clearing cache? Or even a factory reset? Factory reset won't hurt your root any nor restore the update app.
Thanks for the reply - Yep. I factory reset a couple days ago and made the update changes mentioned earlier. I no longer get the OTA notifications (YAY), but every time I restart the device it still rebuilds cache. I've formatted the cache partition, cleared dalvik cache, and as I mentioned, I tried a factory reset as well. This is the only hurdle I have left to clear. Out of curiosity, why are there no custom roms for the VZW version of this device? The VZW version doesn't carry the same model numbers as the retail models (GT-Pxxxx). The verizon device is simply SCH-I705 - there don't seem to be any roms for that. Isn't the only real difference the radio? I've asked around the forums, but not gotten a reply from anyone on this. I'd love to try some custom roms on this tab, and I'm sure that would fix the majority of my issues, but I have yet to find one.
There is actually a big difference between the wifi and lte devices. The i705 is closer related to the i535 (gs3) than it is the wifi tab 2's. And there are no custom ROMs yet becuase there are so few of us that own it, and even fewer (two of us actually..) who are trying to get anything done on it. I'm a novice developer so I'm still learning the process of ROM development. On top of that, I'm very busy working two jobs, saving up for a wedding. Unless someone else is capable of getting more development done we may only have 1 or two custom stock roms floating around, which is what I'm working on ever so slowly. CM10 and the others a bit out of my league right now.
If anyone wants to try to bring more attention to this device, feel free to do so. It'd be helpful to have people who know what they're doing more than me.
MrHyde03 -
Thank you so much for the detailed information. That is exactly what I've been looking for... exactly THAT. Congrats on the upcoming wedding by the way. That's awesome.
I might be willing to donate or lend a device to the right person if potential exists for that to result in a working Rom.I wouldn't know where to begin on that. I am in the Seattle area but can ship if necessary. I like CM10 and have Paranoid Rom (based on CM10) running on my GS3 and I'd absolutely LOVE to have the same features on my SCH-I705. I have the tab mounted in my car and It's a really great device, but the stock rom is HORRIBLE. For one, this 'loud volume warning' (whenever playing music over headphones or line output, it decreases the volume because, according to Samsung, I'm not a big enough boy to make my own decisions with regards to my own hearing) is driving me absolutely crazy. My GS3 did the same thing, but since I've rooted and loaded custom roms on it, I've loved it.
Thank you again for being one of the few to reply to my questions and for providing these details, you are appreciated.
I'm getting this:
Step 1 - Pushing files...

Looks like we're having the same problem.
Yeah we have the same exact error. I am tempted to try manually pushing the root files through adb. I may have to call the banners though. Perhaps Liquid would be willimg to help.
Damn, if I had only seen this before I went TO the Verizon store, lol.
Oh well. I was just going to root and get a ROM out for everyone.
If anyone finds root let me know and I can start ROMS!
OP: You should put "not working" in title so people dont fill the thread with.. OMG it doesnt work!
Preparation:
Open your device manager(PC)
Control Panel -> Device Manager
Remove literally everything to do with Android/Electronics a.k.a
Nexus, Android, Nexus 7, Androids, HTC, HTCDrivers (you get the picture)
Next Step
Plug your Nexus in, CHANGE THE SETTINGS TO CAMERA(P2P) not MTP
Also ensure USB Debugging is checked.
Getting the required program:
Now, download the latest WugFresh toolkit.
Direct Download (Goo.IM)
Wugs Site
Once Downloaded:
Open ToolKit and Click "Full Installation Drivers with guide"
Choose the PDA.Net method.
Follow the Guide and let the drivers install, it should also install PDA.Net at the same time (on PC) which should appear in bottom right of screen (PC Screen)
When Drivers are Installed:
Once the drivers are installed, go to the ToolKit again, under "Build Type" choose "Nakasi All Build TYPES **"
Rooting:
Now, when your build type is set to all build types, proceed with "Root", follow instructions again and it should reboot into a "Temporary TWRP", this is great.
Flashing Necessary Root Files:
Navigate to SDCard, ReadyToFlash! and find BusyBox and SuperSU, flash them using TWRP.
Clear Cache
Reboot, VOILA!
IF IVE MISSED ANYTHING OR YOU'D LIKE TO SEE ANYTHING ADDED, LET ME KNOW AND I'LL GET IT DONE !!
This will work for all Android versions. The 4.2 specifics is getting the drivers installed to recognise the N7. (Also the CamperP2P not MTP)
I wanted to test but the download is too slow (2 hours).
Is the same procedure valid for Nexus 7 3g?
Thanks
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda premium
I have a nexus 7 in 4.2 and I have been very successful in the root. However, it must accurately.
Disabled security options on the Control of Android applications and behavioral allow installation of application from memory, if the root does not work.
The interface of the application should be reviewed at ergonomic figures to describe the sequence of steps (1. 2. 3.) ...
Otherwise it is a good job, thank you again for sharing your knowledge.

You don't need BusyBox to root. I'd recommend avoiding it because it has been known to cause problems with system updates in the past.

BusyBox is not a MUST but its recommended.
It just provides more commands for Linux/Unix based functions. (Probably more useful for advanced users)
Would this work for JOP40D version firmware?
Can't see anywhere on here detailing how to root that version of the Nexus 7.

I just rooted my N7 (JB 4.2.1/JOP40D) using Nexus 7 Toolkit v 4.0.0
It's quite easy to do. I basically needed to root so I can use OTG usb to mount USB Flash Drive so I can watch Videos/Movies.

Thanks for the reply. I'm guessing I need to separately unlock the bootloader before rooting? I literally have no idea how to do this. I rooted my Droid 2 a while ago and it was dead simple, this seems a lot more complicated! Also, is this is the same procedure for the 3g nexus?

Hi All,
I wanted to check if i can root my Nexus 7 (16gb wifi) and continue to use the stock rom that is currently running ?
i.e. i want to use OrBot for proxy which needs superuser access hence need to root, but i want to continue using the stock rom that has come with Nexus 7. I couldn't find much detail on continuing with the stock rom.
Also can i use the "Settings"->"About Tablet"->"check for updates", when the next update comes even after i root my device or should manually update ??
Thanks,
Anup.

How does it take 2 hours to download a 24 mg file??
not working says it dont regaize my usb 2.0 i dont know why cain fastboot it shows adb user in device manager!!
So from the beginning I updated from notification on phone from 4.0.4 to 4.1.2. Then bricked after trying to gain root acess. Finally able to flash jb 98.72.22. Tried for days to find a root that worked. Couldn't get motochopper to gain root. Tried god knows how many others. Finally got virtual box, imported Root_Bionic_JB.ova and still wouldn't work. Keep coming across su binary issues. The closest i got was with the virtual box installing superuser. But when I trying to update the binary says unable and to send a log report. What am i doing wrong? is it a step im missing when unzipping to desktop? everything goes smooth until cmd gets to rooting, then says failed. cleaning. press enter to reboot and close. Im about to lose my mind! Please some assistance. I sick of failing every attempt from every suggest forum (quietly sobbing )
You need to go back to what has been proven to work. Moto chopper 2. Not to be insulting BUT I know from experience, just BC you can't get something to work the first couple of times you try it doesn't mean it does not work. Period. Now, where did you get hung up on the Ubuntu exploit? List all that you did.

Well, not to be insulting, but it was my understanding that moto chopper would only work if temp rooted or had gained root acess previously? I may be wrong. Anyways, the prob. with unbuntu is thing i guess froze (but still ran) after patiently running it like six hours. Last screen at was installing-reinstalling previous "somethings" but I figured need a system clean and would try again. gotta be easier way. so here is my linux minimal screenshot attempt. running root bionic jb ovf file. noticed where it starting going wrong is
chmod: pwn: operation not permitted.
rooting phone...
phone may appear to.......
/system/bin/sh: /storage/rfs0/pwn: not found <-------Right here i noticed the file path on the phone and it's ---> storage/rfs1 Would that have something to do w/ it?
nothing ever vibrates and reboots in flash. got bad flash or something?
MotoChopper works on non TI (OMAP) CPus that are in Motoroal devices.
Coincidentally, it also works on ASUS Tranformer Infinity (and the Prime as well, IIRC).
It does not work on the BIONIC.
The method that works on rooting the JB build on the BIONIC is one that is based upon the older RAZR method - see http://www.droidrzr.com/index.php/topic/16518-root-motoshare-2-old-bug-new-exploit/

I am having same issue. Using Marty OVA in virtual box. works great, no issues w/ samba or USB. Root is successfully run. however.
root checker indicated that I am not rooted and as mentioned above, superuser needs to update the binaries.
" the Superuser binary (su) must be updated
please choose an installation method
recovery mode installation is recommended for HTC devices.
Cancel <> Recovery Install<> Install
hit install
there was an error installing superuser. Please send a log of the error to the developer.
<ok>
wonder if I could replace the superuser.adk file in the /home/guest/share directory with a newer adk file?
could not get post on droidrzr.com on a thread there. ( link not permitted by Noobs )
Marty45714 informed us He posted this here as well. can anyone answer this?

To Naughty: Sorry about the mix up that was what I meant to say Moto share 2 NOT Motochopper. I had all the same problems as you after some number of tries with motoshare2 I was in business.
To martin: have you already tried the motoshare 2 on Ubuntu?

Ok so using virtual box the ova Root_Bionic_JB_20130501-4 the fourth ubdate of the orginal release. Now i suggest erasing all superuser apps installed your self and anything to do with them. When it's done right, it will appear on it's own and work flawlessly. No uncertianties about it. Then i've posted a screen shot of the commands with notes to help understand easiest. The instant the command to press hardware key or power/or each volume itself is the instant you want to press it. Now the reboot is instantious kinda itself and gotta be noticing phone unless have ungodly long boot up let me know if the screen shot helped what you were asking.
Hi guys,
I have juat registered here which means I am new to this. Before I decided to post my question I was looking for answer but couldn't really find one.
I upgraded from S4 to S5 few days ago (Rogers) and the phone upgraded the software as soon as it connected to wifi so I am now on 5.1.1.
I found few apps to root my S5 without pc but they dont either work with my phobe or my software version.
I don't mibd rooting it via pc as long as I can keep both uaer data and some preinstalled apps untouched.
Can you please point me to how to do it step by step (if possible)?
Thank you in advance

I think this is what you're looking for: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=3107461
Thank you but it says "Root strategy unavailable", I tried it earlier and retroed now but same result.
Any other possible solutions please?
I don't mind if I have to do it through pc as long as I dont loae user data and pre-installed apps.
Thanks
Anybody? Please!
Hey dont know if you solved your problem yet but after extensive reading and tinckering i finally managed to root my s5 on telus running 5.1.1. For starters I can care less if i trip knox so its tripped but to be honest I wouldnt be able to tell you if its from me installing different roms on my phone. Anyways this is how I did it on my phone. ( Credit is given to every dev that created thes apps and I in no way claim to have come up with it on my own).
1 Using Odin flash twrp
(Dl newest version of odin. Connect your phone in download mode ( down home power))
2 Download twrp or any other custom recovery
3 Open Odin select AP find the custom recovery file push start.
4 Download the newest version of supersu which can be found anywhere on xda. It has to be 2.67 or it will not work. And place the zip on your sdcard.
5 Reboot into custom recovery click install find the supersu and install it.
6 Reboot phone when asked if you want to install supersu do not do it upon reboot.
And there yah go root access.
Donno if that helps but it seems to work for me. SM-G900W8

It would work for you. You have a Canadian version which isn't bootloader locked like ours is.

hi,
i am new in these forums,
i searched over the web and also tried many root methods, but none worked.
root method for NXH19X is not working for me i tried multiple times.
the main error i am getting is "unable to mount /system; no such thing found" in TWRP
i also tried multiple Supersu files official ones and unofficial ones as well.
after some research i found out about new file system squashfs FS
then i tried this rom which supports EXT4 File System
here is link: https://forum.xda-developers.com/g-watch-r/development/rom-ext4all-g-watch-r-skin1980-t3589917
but it didnot work out as well,(get boot looped)
so flashed stock rom and now on latest update as told earlier,
so its my request, i need help. if someone please come up with any working method to root latest stock rom and security patches(build number and security patch in title)
why stock rom?
i personally like stock rom and it is working fine for me.
why root?
i have root on my phone (one plus one), i felt like i am unable to use my watch on full potential without root.
and we all like root that's why we are here right
thank you
(i actually don't know the how to write any threads so bear with me please) :fingers-crossed:
This post of mine will work. Tried on many roms and it works.
Some play store apps says i dont have root but I do as the app i use that needs root works : https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.skin1980.buttonremap
So use this procedure :
https://forum.xda-developers.com/g-watch-r/development/nxh19x-boot-img-rooted-t3651039
The problem is that u need a TWRP for squash images which you can find in the mentioned post

hi
i tried your given method,
twrp seems to work fine first time,
but i lost twrp as soon as i boot into system,
some how system replace recovery with default one each time watch booted into android itself,
however i am able to boot into recovery, when tried directly from fast-boot after flashing it,
but still unable to obtain root,
the zip files seems to flash perfectly, but there is no su in app drawer,
thanks for your support, but i think new version makes it harder to gain root,
and i am fine without root i can live without it.
thanks again.

There is no SuperUser for android wear watches. It will automatically allow root access for all apps that request it...
