[Q] How do I proceed now that I've rooted?

I've followed a root guide (not able to link due to account restrictions), however I am not sure whether I have rooted correctly (Superuser has been installed via the root). I'm a beginner in rooting and thought it would be straight forward (due to the number of tutorials around), but I don't know how to proceed now.
My basic objective is to install jelly bean with no issues in usage as the owner isn't very tech literate. The tutorials I have tried to follow thus far have had some steps which aren't possible in my circumstance or certain steps which aren't possible due to a change in the app.
If possible I will appreciate it if someone helps me, whether here, or on skype/teamspeak; preferably on the latters as it will speed up the process and I am quite time restricted. If possible I don't mind completely resetting the kindle to its original software and such and starting again just to be sure If I have rooted, but I don't know how to do that.
Thanks in advance
Details: [Rooted?] Kindle fire HD running 7.3.1 software; Model X43Z60

Thats to Root; I've already rooted (assuming from the video when it says you can see the superuser app)

Well if you have rooted right go to your browser and search for an app called Root Checker. It does not require root. It checks to see if your rooted right. If you are not rooted right the app will say so but if you are rooted right you get a message saying "You have successfully rooted your device." Hope I helped you.

Oh ok just download titanium back up when u open the app it will tell u if ur root or not

Titanium says I have rooted. Ok, what do I do now as per my requirements above?
Thanks

Ok, I've now installed the play store and disabled ads using this VERY useful tutorial (thanks prok!). Is there a similar tutorial on how to install jelly bean on it now?

Well the best rom out there right now is Unofficial CM10.1 from Hashcode. Yes, you could install a different one but Unofficial CM10.1 is currently the best in my opinion.

TowelRoot

Wondering if anyone has tried towelroot on 4.3 for locked bootloaders, it says on the site that theoretically it should support any device build built before June 3rd.
I understand we have a locked bootloader but so does the Verizon and AT&T S5

Worked for me
I used it and it seems to work fine. Very easy, go the towelroot.com site, click on the symbol and download the app.I enabled installing from non-secure sources in settings/security. I installed the .apk and it ran, rebooted automically and I now have root. I am running Stock 9.2.A.0.295 now rooted without all the downgrading etc. Sweet! You must have read the same article on Androidpolice that I read.

I have just successfully rooted my locked Xperia T running 4.3 stock (.205)
Wow! :laugh:
Thanks for posting!

Worked on my unlocked Xperia T, i can grant SU rights to applications, but I cannot update the supersu binary. Anyone else have this problem or is it my device ?

AT&T Build
Works on my AT&T Xperia TL, Android 4.1.2; Build 9.1.F.1.120.
SuperSU + Linux Deploy up & running.
-----updated: Terminal "su" works, but Linux Deploy = rebooting on "su" request, even with updated SuperSU

I didn't make it .... i installed it , but my Xperia V still no root ..

1. With the help of a file manger install TowelRoot
2. Install modified FlashgordonBB , and then with it PhilZ Recovery . Don't use the "normal" Flashgordon.
3. Flash Update Supesu in Recovery.
4.Reboot and install Supersu.
Set.

All right and I am grateful, too, certainly. That man deserves a beer or two, and some pretty girls, too.
But 150 pages of thanks - as great as it is - I think I'll just stick here.

Since rooting my LB Xperia T yesterday, I'm experiencing frequent disconnects in my phonecalls.
Anyone else has similar issues?

If you have problems with the play store SuperSU, use this: http://download.chainfire.eu/447/SuperSU/UPDATE-SuperSU-v1.99r4.zip

I don't think its good idea becouse some ppls can't root with it sucessfuly.

So SuperSu is advising an Update
So apparently, SuperSu is now offering an update - I was wondering what version, so I launched SuperSu and it updated after I allowed it, choosing "Normal" instead of TWRP/CWM - because I don't have a recovery installed. It worked fine and it suggested a reboot - which after that I had version 2.0. Works great.

Towelroot works without unlocking bootloader!

Yesterday, Geohot released his Towelroot exploit here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2783157
Towelroot was made for the Verizon / AT&T Galaxy S5, reported working with the Note 3, and is supposed to work on pretty much any device with a kernel built before June 3. Since the TF701T has a kernel from Apr 18, I tried Towelroot on a completely stock TF701T and can report that I am now rooted without unlocking my boot loader.
Just leaving this here in case there are any further developments. I'd love to see how much can be done without voiding warranty through bootloader. At the very least, we have Xposed.

worked for me too !
Thanks great !

Good news. Can a mod sticky this please.

Thanks, it works very well. I want to know if I can install custom recovery without unlocking bootloader.

No you will need to unlock the boot loader to install a custom recovery I'm afraid.

Confirmed! Works great. Are you using Chainfire or the regular superuser. Chainfire tells me I need to update the binary but fails to do it. Using regular superuser now.

This is what i was looking for!!
We can at least get Xposed, Delete bloatwares, Starting Apps, Titanium Backup, Adaway.
But can someone confirm my doubts, Because this exploit works with before June kernels, it obviously means that if Asus bring us 4.4 we will not able to have a persistant root, except if a dev create a working LB custom recovery and then a Pre-rooted, zipaligned, deodexed 4.4 rom.
Am i wrong bros?

Works for now but 4.4 will most likely use the newer patched kernel. My Note 3 w I think KK is showing Kernel version 3.4 so KK may not have to use a kernel later then that.

Ok so root on 4.4 will only be possible by another exploit or unlocking BL.
I think i'm going so stay on a rooted 4.3 for now

Works for me as well. However, neither app superuser nor su work for me.

You can update first then use towelroot, no problem.

Updating SU bin
Regarding 'Out of date' SU bin message - after rooting with towel root install attached apk and then manually update.

Restoration and warranty concerns
Now, this might be a silly question for most Android users, and for me, but seeing as how I just can't trust my tablet that much with its wonkiness I have to ask: is it possible to "unroot" my device after using Towelroot and returning back to stock? Also, can ASUS see that I've been rooting my device, even though the bootloader has not been touched, and not accept my warranty?

To unroot do a factory reset.
There is no flash count so Asus can't be aware of this.
correct me if i'm wrong !

I may be stupid, but how is this supposed to work? I download tr.apk and when I try to install it, my TF701 says "App not installed". Is it not a straight-forward one-click method, or is is more complicated than this? On some other threads, it seems that there is a step of connecting the phone to the PC and running an installation batch script. Is this true for the TF701 as well?
Can someone supply a step-by-step guide on how to do this?

You just have to allow third party apps in Security settings and then click and install the apk. No pc or script needed.

I already have that (unless it somehow has reset itself - will check when I get home) - and it still said "App not installed" when I tried to install it.
It even came up and told me what permissions the application requested (which I don't think will happen, if I haven't enabled third party apps). Among those I saw an interesting one that I hadn't seen before - maybe that's the "root" cause of the exploit (pun intended )

Very strange... I have two TF701s, and on the oldest one (JB 4.3, Kernel 3.4.57 Apr 18, build 10.26.1.28) the tr.apk won't install. On my recently bought TF701 (Still not updated, running JB 4.2.2, Kernel 3.4.35, Oct 22 2013, build 10.14.1.47) it ran without any problems.
Has anyone with the Apr 18 update run the TowelRoot exploit successfully on their TF701?

UK query

Are there any ROMs that still allow SkyGo to be received? I rooted my tab once and the App said that it would not run on a rooted device.
Thanks

No

I was using NUT's (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2711982) which is 757 based and it worked with that. I've since upgraded to juanpirulo's 761 based version and deodexed, and still works fine.

Are you sure?
You can actually watch TV on sky go with a rooted device in the UK? I think it is impossible.
The app opens, but as soon as you try to watch it says that the device is rooted and will not work
Not a single rooted rom I have tried has worked and if you look into root cloak apps they all say that root can not be hidden from sky go and there is unlikely to be any work around for it.

Thanks for bringing this to my attention. Seems we're both right to some extent.
Up till now I'd only used it to watch Sky news and that works ok even now, but just tried watching the footie and got the message you described.

Thanks for that, I didn't know that sky news would work, so we are both wiser now

Did you attempt this with the King Root or did you convert to SuperSU before trying?

Ok, late to the party as usual, but I got this little gem of a tablet. Bought through Costco came with 32gig and case for $!80, kitkat 4.4.4. I rooted via kingroot.net and then replaced kingsu witrh SuperSu by manual method. I downloaded and installed xpose but stopped before reboot install via regular recovery. I got cold feet and uninstalled xpose and have the apk sitting in my download folder just daring me to go for it. So, I too would like to know if xpose works for this great tablet for the split screen fuctionality among other tweaks. sincerely, Jah

Ok, went looking for some more information on this tablet and xpose framework and found this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/and...10-70-root-t3279322/post64553052#post64553052 It seems to work only on KitKat. Hope this helps you decide to go ahead and get what you want.
