Easier One Click Rooting Method

Supported devices:

Change log:

http://www.mgyun.com/vroot/UpdateLog

Disclaimer:

- This requires a PC.

- No CWM needed.

- This installs a Chinese root manager rather than superuser or superSU. But I will teach you how to replace it below.

Instruction:

1. Download the rooting application. (This app can root many other devices :good: )

***mod edit links removed

2. Install the app. This is a Chinese app so I will guide you. Below is a step by step screenshot attached guide.

Start the exe you downloaded. Click Next.

Next.

Don't create start menu. (as you wish)

Create desktop icon.

Finish. Uncheck if you dont want to start the rooting app now.

3. Start VROOT and root now!

Rooting app started. This will pop-up.

Now connect your device and you it will get detected. (Make sure USB Debugging is turned ON in your device)

Click the Green bottom right button and wait for rooting process to be done.

When this shows up, device will reboot, now you can unplug your device.

4. Now we need to install SuperSU from play store to replace the Chinese root manager called 授权管理 1.0.4.

5. Go to play store and install SuperSU.

6. Start SuperSU and you will be asked for permission by 授权管理 1.0.4, choose 允许(means allow). (Should be the right side option.)

7. SuperSU will prompt to install SU binary, go ahead with OK and it will display successful.

8. Now, freeze 授权管理 1.0.4 in titanium backup, just in case you need it again.

Note: If you uninstall straight away from app manager, you need to make sure SuperSU updated the binary.

9. Re-run SuperSU to make sure everything is alright. You will be prompt again to install SU binary, just do what it asked.

10. After that, you are rooted with SuperSU and 授权管理 1.0.4 will not be there anymore.

Optional

11. If you want to be more assured, in SuperSU app, prepare for a Reinstall in settings. (NOT Full unroot NOT Switch superuser app)

12. SuperSU will be removed and go back to play store to re-download and install.

13. Start SuperSU and SuperSU will prompt to install SU binary, go ahead with OK and it will display successful.

Hi zhuhang.

Thanks for taking the time to post a usable guide for the VROOT method here.

Just wanted to confirm that this works on my Huawei MediaPad 10 Link tablet also.

I suggest that you create a post with a list of all devices with which this rooting method works.

Also, there is a problem when I tried to uninstall the chinese root manager after installing superSU. I am getting error when updating the superSU binary after uninstalling the chinese root manager from Titanium Backup.

Check this and let me know. I will also add this to the ROOT post of the Lenovo A706 thread.

:) Thanks.
[Android General] zhuhang:
Yes, that's the only part I'm afraid of where user getting error updating binary after uninstalling chinese root manager.

Did you install supersu before uninstalling chinese root?

Idk the list of supported device, I know there's a lot.
[Android General] gr8techie:
yes, I installed the superSU from Playstore before uninstalling the chinese root manager app just as you had mentioned in your instructions.
[Android General] zhuhang:
Hmm, i not sure how exactly did I did that, I will retry later.

[Android General] ilovebrazil:
This is the way i uninstall the Chinese Root app without any SuperSU error:

1. After rooting, install any Recovery.

2. Use Titanium Backup to uninstall the Chinese Root app.

3. Flash UPDATE-SuperSU-v1.51.zip via Recovery. Download link: http://download.chainfire.eu/345/SuperSU/UPDATE-SuperSU-v1.51.zip

4. Done. :fingers-crossed:
[Android General] zhuhang:
I got it working without flashing anything.

The exact steps I'm not sure, its a bit random, freeze, uninstall, and supersu managed to update its binary.
[Android General] richsund:
This Vroot tool just worked for me - Sony Ericsson Xperia Active ST17i, Android version 4.1.B.0587

The other similar tool (eRoot) mentioned in other XDA threads did not work.

No need to use the complicated method of re-flashing older android version! :good:
[Android General] whoelsec:
Thanks OP for the root method. The phone that I used was Sony Xperia ZR LTE. Initially I wanted to just stay with the Chinese Root Manager, but most Chinese Root Managers are too obstructive, they kept pestering me to control app auto startup each and every time I installed a new app. So I decided to replace it with SuperSU instead.

Like few others, I installed SuperSU from App Store, grant it root access from the Chinese Root Manager, ran SuperSU let it installed its own SU binaries or something. Thought that is all, then I disabled the Chinese Root Manager. Unfortunately after that SuperSU was not recognized as the Root Manager.

After a few trial and errors, I found that we have to make SuperSU as System App in order to be able to replace another Root Manager. So what I did was I installed "/system/app mover" from the App Store, grant it root access from the Chinese Root Manager, then converted SuperSU to System App. After that just repeated what I did earlier, grant SuperSU root access, let it installed its binaries, blah blah blah.

After all these, I disabled the Chinese Root Manager, tested that the SuperSU is doing its work, then installed Titanium Backup and uninstalled the Chinese Root Manager from my phone. Viola! Now I have a simple root manager.

Hope it helps people who wanted to have another Root Manager but unable to get it working.

Issues finding 授权管理 1.0.4

Hi !!

Thanks a lot man it worked like a charm on Xperia Ultra Z.

I just have a quick Q, I can't find the 授权管理 1.0.4 in Titanium.

8. Now, freeze 授权管理 1.0.4 in titanium backup, just in case you need it again.

Any clues?

Grayed Out Button

Hello. I tried to install the apps you mentioned but when i run it, from the look of it, it automatically upgraded itself to 1.7... then when i plugged my icon, the icon on the right is grayed out and it keeps on disconnecting the device. i followed everything from your instruction up to this point...

[Android General] JDBlackhawk:
Thanks

Wow, finally!!!!! I have rooted many tablets and phones-until this one, a JXD P1000s. Your procedure is the only one that worked on this very stubborn tablet which is listed as an MTK6516 CPU but is actually an MTK6575 according to every CPU .apk I've installed to test it. I had tried every exploit I could find, including manually entering ADB commands, using two different Chinese rooting programs and all the other exploits and one-click solutions none of which worked. I am going to post a link to this page with your permission to another user who has need of this. Chinese superuser is very nice-actually cleans some files and gave me complete permissions. I updated to Google play version which I was able to update with newest binary. Thanks much. I was running out of phone memory due to many Chinese apps on top of my apps-rooting solved that problem..Great job!
[Android General] zhuhang:

TF700T now fully rooted on stock ROM!!

Thankyou soooo much. Had rooted (TF700T runing JB 4.2.1 build 10.6.1.14.10) using another method found here but still had permission issues. vRoot 1.7 has done the trick and have now been able to use ROM Manager (which I don't use to manage ROM's btw) to correct system wide permissions. Huge HUGE thanks as I was not really keen on the idea of guessing my way through the Chinese UI descriptions

Can we sticky this for the TF700 area as many are falling flat trying to root where this JB build has already been installed.

Xperia ZR with .67 and vRoot?

Hi everybody!

I'm trying to root my new Xperia ZR (10.31.A.2.67) with vRoot with no luck. I downloaded the English version of vRoot (1.7.1, model database 131018). I have looked bootloader and I prefer to keep that.

I've got the impression that it should be possible to do this root method on .67.

I haven't put in my new simcard in the phone yet because I want everything ready before I shut down my old Xperia Ray (different size of simcard) so I can import all my history with Titanium Backup.

When I connect my ZR via usb I see in vRoot that it connects and start to downloading drivers. After a couple of seconds it disconnect and connects again and does everything all over again. It has been connected to my computer (win 8) in this state for more than 30 min.

In developer menu I activated usb debugging and turn off verifying app installing via usb (adb/adt).

Anyone got any idea of what I'm doing wrong?

Edit

Solved the problem.

The solution was to install PCCompanion and after that (I suppose I got the right drivers) I was able to root my device.
[Android General] TaherPatan:

is there a list of supported devices anywhere? thx
[Android General] Cookie Ninja:
Just a little heads up to all of you who have downloaded this exe file to your computer... The app modifies certain keys of your registry and hooks to a port to connect to the net. It also modifies certain defaults of your IE (stock internet explorer browser). The payload it downloads from a Chinese website smacks of a fly-by-night app called Kingo android root... That app thread was taken down by the admins as:

1. The app was closed-source. (Lack of source code for the application).

2. No inputs as to the exploit method.

3. What/why does it needs to download anything potentially malicious from a Chinese site for running the root exploit?

To be on the safer side, I am reporting this thread to the forum admins until the OP/app creator can answer these questions.... Beware all of you..।

Dead Cookies leave no trails...
[Android General] Thwip:

Have you been supplied with any explanation on any of your concerns Cookie Ninja? I.e. email, PM, etc?
[Android General] cottino:

After the root his superuser management tool attempts to establish suspicious connections with remote server.

[Android General] mcwire:
Could you post more information about which keys and ports? I'd like to remove this crap..
[Android General] Cookie Ninja:
Just uninstall, run CCleaner and clean registry, then check the uninstall section for any orphan programmes and suspicious files. Check the IE add-ons for any out-of-ordinary bho or tools. You're good to go after that....

There were some conditions and some limits i have put to get the note 3.

One of it was if its not bigger than 5.8 and i am happy amsung listened instead of going for big bigger and biggest they kept it under 6.0.

Now for those shouting about the finishing they also get something different.

Then Bye bye to external sdcard slots and removable battery.

Xperia Z1 looks tempting for it's 20.7mp camera, it gets much love from the AOSP crowd and CM, however the screen looks unsaturated and the bezel is huge as Nexus 7. This sure is a tough decision. Note 3 is perfect in every way but freakin' Samsung sources makes flashing to AOSP roms obsolete. There's pro and cons. There really isn't a perfect phone in the market is there?:crying:

Whatever people say, samsung really made android commercial which the htc was unable to do in the past. The initial TW on galaxy S and the note 1 evolved greatly and now bears really capable features. Those who are tired of it can move but those who dont want to root or custom flash their devices can enjoy the stock loaded android with many special features like the multiwindow the scrapbook, new S note and obviously the s pen.

Let others do complains about samsung. I am among those who appreciate their hard work and tribute to them to make my note 1 functional and up to date even after 2 years.
