Can I root without a computer?

More importantly without the USB cable? I was sent one in the mail and didn't get the transfer cable so now I can't root through debugging or whatever. Is there something I can do using just an SD card and running stuff off of that?

No you cannot

hmm , yes you can ( /me successful a not flaming TechnicalK )
basically the 1st question I need to ask you is are you on 2.1 or on 2.01 ?
2.1 needs vulenrable recovery flashed onto it , most 2.01 dont .
Depending on the f/w version... if you do need to flash it ( using rsdlite ) then yes you need the usb cable . (pretty easy to get and cheap especially on eBay)
Otherwise just grab GOT 's openrecovery and put it in sdcard then you can have lots of fun .

you def.ly need the pc to computer the required files you need to your sd card. once your files are on the card then you can root your phone with no pc needed, but again that's after you get the files on your phone...
You def.ly don't need the pc to do the root process if that's what you meant.

Nerver heard about the cellphone's browser.
As Dag said, if your phone is already vulnerable you can easily do everything you need w/o a pc.

Not sure if it works, and its not free like the DMUpdater was (really hoping they release a new version for free), but I got this from Droid-Life. (hope thats ok)
Im not going to post the link as I dont want to get in trouble, but its $.99 and I believe its on the market.
Look on site mentioned above, its on page 2 currently (or you can click the 'root' tab uptop on site to see older news)
Easy Root- The newest 1 touch droid rooting app

Also, is the problem JUST the lack of a USB cable, or do you actually not have access to a computer? If it's the former, you can easily get the correct USB cable for less than $5 online. Just look for a microUSB cable.
And pardon my possible ignorance, but how are you charging the phone without a USB cable? If you have the stock Motorola charger, the USB cable should be detachable, and you can plug it into the computer using that cable.

Yes you can. There is an app in the market called EasyRoot. I havent used it myself, but have read reports of it working great.

Yes -- EasyRoot works great on a stock 2.1/2.2 Droid.
It uses a hotplug exploit nicely packaged in an APK.

I don't think universalandroot works for the Droid/Milestone does it?
I know that Easy Root does work on the Droid though (not sure about the Milestone).

Universal Androot works fine on Motorola Milestone 2.1-update1 !

the same thing happend to me, for $1 get easyroot and you can do it all on your phone. just google it and i was happy paying $1 to help the developer

[q] usb host (otg)

This is first question I've had since I first started gettting into this stuff 5 years ago with my moto droid 1. Excuse me if this has been asked before but I am having a hard time with hooking up a mouse and keyboard via usb to my Nook HD. I cannot get anything to be read by the nook. I tested the keyboard on my nexus 7 2013 and it worked perfectly. I have been at this for a couple days now and this thing is starting to look more and more like a frizzbe. I have rooted and installed roms on droid 1, droid 2 global, razor m, droid eris, samsung galaxy nexus, nexus 7 2013, Nook HD. im at witts end why did my wife buy this thing... Thank you in advance for all of your help.
I figured it out. Last time I do a dirty rom flash. Now if only I had a kernal designed to save juice...

verygreen has an apk to force enable usbhost, i use it with a mouse and keyboard and it works perfectly. But you got it working to thats great.

Im way out of my depth when its matters dealing with android kernels etc, so can I use the usb switcher if I can download it * on a rooted from the device Nook HD as opposed to one running CMC from SD card. Or are there other changes compiled into the kernel needed also.
If it will work any chance the changes needed to drive a usb camera could also be packaged up for side loading?
thanks
* I kept getting server timed out

The device driver for the USB device type needs to be in the kernel.

You can download a pre-made CM10.2 SD-card image archived file cm_ovation_10.2.0-RCx_ddmmyyyy_HD_SDC_IMG.7z from http://iamafanof.wordpress.com/2013/09/17/cm10-2-jellybean-android-4-3-for-nook-hd-18sep2013/, then just unzip the file (e.g., with 7-Zip) and burn it to a SD card, and it's ready to go (assuming your HD+ can boot from SD card).
To get a sense of which USB device is supported, see http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2307585.

sorry to bother you or any other nook masters on here.
I am running verygreen's kernel 3.0.31 -hummingbird-green+ jun 13 2013
cyanogen 10.1
i have usb storage in storage menu as well as apps that can mount devices and storage. I also have the usbhostswitcher app as well as another one I found on here that helps for this.
I have the female to female adapter...yet no signs of it working whether I connect a mouse, usb flash drive, etc. I bought the adapter from the ebay link from verygreen post and ordered another one from diff seller today just in case...
Any thing I need besides the apps? Also anyone get a usb - to - ethernet adapter to work for this nook?
thank you all for any input

I don't think a simple female-to-female adapter would do, you need to use a USB OTG adapter.

it has been done by verygreen with standard usb f-f.

SM T-713 Questions

Hello, all! I just bought a new S2 8.0 device. I haven't done anything to it other than initial setup and installing the XDA app. I have a few questions before I proceed to anything else.
First of all, I noticed that my microSD card can only be formatted in portable mode, which means that my apps can't use it for data. Is there a way around it without rooting and installing a custom ROM? If not, I haven't seen any custom ROMs designed for the T-713 (unless I am missing something). Are there other solutions?
I noticed that system uses nearly 8 GB of storage. Is that typical? That seems excessive, even on a 32 GB device.
If I do root, I'll need to do a refresher on Odin (haven't used that in over a year). If some kind soul could point me to where I can learn about Odin, that would be great.
Thanks for your help.

Samsung removed the Adaptive Storage option because they are big fat meanies. A solution can be found here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VDLOAzWwd-M (its for the S7 and S7 edge but should work on our device as well).
As for custom ROMs, I'm working on one, but having some issues, so don't expect anything within a day.

Yes, same on mine. Nothing we can do about that, aside from repartition - which is dangerous and can easily brick your device. Don't try it if you don't know what you're doing.

Get a copy of the Samsung USB drivers installed, get a copy of Odin (Get it from Androidcentral, there are a lot of fake Odin downloads), and a tar.
Put said device into Download mode, put said flashable tar into Odin's "AP" slot, make nachos, and leave all the checkboxes alone. Then click "Start." the device will reboot itself when complete.

Thanks! This solution worked beautifully. It's very simple, too, for anyone who has ADB experience
Great to see that you're working on a custom ROM for this device. I'll probably root my device eventually. Thanks for the Odin info, too.

Oh yes, I've been down this road before. Thanks anyway for the heads up.

otg twrp

Since I have the 64GB model space fills up quickly with roms and backups, could I just store all that stuff on a USB drive and use a adapter to connect it when I'm in TWRP? Should work the same way right?

Yes, USB OTG works in TWRP. You can actually make your backups directly to a USB flash drive in TWRP, which saves you time and write-cycles on your internal storage.

Should i get 64GB or 128, and I can flash from the USB also right?

Size of the flash drive is entirely up to you, get however much space you need. Yes, you can flash and restore nandroids directly from flash drives.

I figured just get the 128 and it's USB 3.0 so Im happy with my purchase thanks for the quick help and response! And I also bought the otg cable from the OnePlus website

Just fyi, the OP3T uses the USB 2.0 standard for its USB-C port.

It's not like USB 3.0 flash drives won't work. However, if you find two similar drives in 2.0 and 3.0 standards, the 2.0 one is likely going to be cheaper

Yeah I saved like 20 bucks changing from 3.0-2.0 lol as long as they both work the same, why not save some money

One plus 3t: twrp says not enough space on flash drive so can't backup. Says only 1024mb even though the drive has 16gb free. ?? Please help. Thanks
Ignore: Works now!

Here is something you can solve if you have pro knowledge of rooting.

Here is something you can solve if you have pro knowledge of rooting.
Condition:-
The usb port of device cannot transfer data and it cannot be repaired.
The bootloader of device is unlocked.
Situation:-
Once the device had a KitKat based ROM named PAC-MAN. Owner loves the ROM and the data soo much that he don't want to loose that hence he took a backup of this ROM and data from CWM recovery.
After a week, The official ROM of marshmallow was flashed from recovery. Got 5-6 continues updates of security patches and finally the device was on Android 6.0.1. Now when he wanted to roll back, he found the old recovery (CWM) was replaced by the stock marshmallow recovery.(due to security patches updates sent to devices.
Mission:-
The Owner wants to rollback to the same kitkat based backuped wih (CWM)
Device Name:- Micromax android one (first-gen) aq4501 sprout 4

Hmmm, yeah, the stock MM recovery replaced the cwm.
If he still had the backup then you need to flash the recovery via fastboot mode and restore it. But, eversince the usb port isnt working then its impossible. btw, how did he charge his phone, if the port isnt working?

In case phone port damaged , battery can be charged by taking it out of mobile and charge with two-pin charger plugged in electrical socket (in india it is called "Daddu Charger")

dude he said that data on the port isnt working jesus please read what the person has said before reading other comments
okay so heres the thing i think in theory it should be possible to manually rewrite the recovery using terminal (if youre desperate)
also did you try flashify?or those other gimmiks that can flash your phone as long as it has root?

Only Data Transfer is not Working. Charging is working Fine. And Yes I got the Solution

Here is The Answer
So, I tried in many Forums, Facebook Groups but nobody had the Answer.:crying:
Fortunately, After Thinking a lot, While i was pooping (The time when great ideas Evolve), I got a Brilliant idea of Solving the Case.
So here is What i thought.
I have a friend with the Exact Same Model. @chitu98
I thought to replace The Whole Bottom Chipset (which includes speakers, Charging pin and many more Hardware Parts) with the friends' Device's Chip Just for flashing time. After I flash my Recovery Back Using His Chip (Bottom Chipset), I return His Device and Yeah I Successfully Accomplished my Mission and Achieved My target
