[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] toxinburn:
I also want to post the correct towelroot method as ive seen in posted incorrectly.

1. Download and install towelroot from towelroot.com (donate to geohot if you can, hes a good guy and aspiring rapper :laugh:)

2. Open towelroot, tap welcome to towelroot 3 times a box will come up change the 1 to a zero and tap make it rain, wait til you get the confirmation.

3. download and install terminal emulator or use adb shell either will work for this.

4. once in adb or terminal emulator type in su to change to root and type in setenforce permissive press enter.

5. now in adb or terminal emulator we need to remount system to rw to achieve this, type in mount -o remount,rw -t ext4 /dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/system /system and press enter now system is mounted as read/writeable. (also needs to be done as root.)

6. reboot device

7. download and install supersu from playstore and open it and install binaries.....done.

also im not taxiburn rofl.

Okay girls n boys i do need your help, i have found the hidden menu in which to type in the secret codes, and i am going to share how to open it the easiest way that i have found, also their is a kink in this.....I do not know the exact combinations the key pad looks basically like a key pad and I do have the numbers to type in but I do not know exactly where the *'s and #'s will go to get each code to operate I have gotten a couple to work, nothing really useful yet but it does work I will post what i got and please lets get to work on solving the star and hash locations with the numbers so we can possibly get somewhere. below will be a list of the numbers i know of so far, but lets be clear i have no idea what they do exactly at the moment so play with this at own risk. First of all you will need to download an app which i will put on my 4shared account for you all to download, it is called default phone menus and you can get it here com.kishimemo.android.noad.3[1].apk one you install this open it up and scroll down til you see one called FactoryMode.SecretCodeIME and select that one now you will see a key pad, this is where to enter the secret codes, which we will be figuring out together, i have found a couple just to give you an idea the apk i decompiled only shows the numbers but doesnt show me exactly what to type in....

So in this code above you can see a list with a series of numbers just typing the number alone does nothing but adding *s and #s in correct spots at beginning or end activates them :) and this is where the bootloader unlock is located as well we just have to figure out which one it is and how to get to it....in which case im sure we may run into more roadblocks but hey we will get past them in time. Please post any that you figure out and what they do if at all possible thanks. This is just a snippet of what i think is relevant for now.

this is an example of what i have done first code i found does a reboot of the phone, not sure what the function is for has to be something more to it im just not certain what.

*#0228# opens up BatteryStatus this is an example if you look above 0228 is listed but it doesnt show us the stars or hashes so i had to play around to get that so do what you can to get the others let the games begin.
