CF-Root is the root for "rooting beginners" and those who want to keep as close to stock as possible. CF-Root is meant to be used in combination with stock firmwares, and be the quickest and easiest way for your first root.
Donate
CF-Root has been available for many devices and has clocked over 9.5 million downloads. This is not even counting custom ROMs that already include it. Don't be a leech, buy me a beer (and use the "Thanks" button!). Imagine if every CF-Root user has donated me $1...
What's installed
- SuperSU binary and APK
- Nothing else, that's it.
Installation and usage
- Download the ZIP file (see post below for link)
- Extract the ZIP file
- Boot your device in bootloader/fastboot mode. Usually this can be done by turning your device off, then holding VolUp+VolDown+Power to turn it on.
- Connect your device to your computer using USB
- Windows:
--- Run root-windows.bat
- Linux
--- chmod +x root-linux.sh
--- Run root-linux.sh
- Mac OS X
--- chmod +x root-mac.sh
--- Run root-mac.sh
- Follow the on-screen instructions - watch both the computer and the device !
Note that if your device had not been unlocked before, this procedure will wipe all your data !
Are you having fastboot driver issues? You can find fastboot drivers in many places, but the easiest way is probably just installing the Android SDK.
Did you see the red Android logo during rooting, but SuperSU does not appear? This may sometimes occur due to left-over files and settings, however, you can usually install SuperSU from Google Play at this stage and it'll just work.
Not included - adbd Insecure
As this CF-Root does not include a custom kernel, adb shell does not have root access by default (you can still get it by typing su inside the shell), nor is adb remount supported, nor will adb push and adb pull work on system files. adbd Insecure can be used to remedy this situation. (No idea what this is about ? Don't worry about it !)

Hi!
This kernel enables custom boot animations (/system/media/sanim.zip), adb root, init.d support, runs a script to auto-root your /system partition, and then you're on your merry way
You may need the USB Drivers available here. (Support & Downloads for SGH-I717)
Once the USB Drivers are installed, power off the phone, then hold volume down and power it on, you'll get a screen asking you to hit vol up to continue, do so. This puts the phone in download mode.
Stick the provided pda.tar in the PDA box of Odin3 1.85, flash away!
Install Superuser from the market after booting.
Note that this will increase your flash counter, which is presumably used by Samsung as a reason to decline warranty service (not aware of any reports of this occuring yet...?)
Don't forget the donate link in my signature if you found this useful and want to motivate me to work on overclock/undervolt

This should work on the Canadian versions, right? Or would this be AT&T specific?
excellent job! Here a little something
Confirmation number: 0P6459745L809882G
@goalcam:
The kernel is built from AT&T source. I haven't examined the Canadian source yet, I'll take a look and see if it'll work.
@bkeaver:
Appreciated!
Any chance a jig from the SG2 will reset the counter?
More than likely not, due to the bootloader revision.. however since my counter is already up in the dozens I can look at putting some time into finding where the counter is stored, so that we can wipe it at will
OK what am I doing wrong. I installed super user from the market and this is what I am getting....
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717 using xda premium
OK, followed directions precisely. Installed Superuser from Market and get the following:
su binary vnull
When trying to update:
Checking installed version = legacy
Fixing database... okay!
Checking for busybox... not found
Downloading custom busybox... okay!
Checking md5sum... okay!
Checking current install path... fail!
Failed to find currently installed su binary. Update cannot continue.
Checked, and the flash count shows 1 with new image, and the new boot animation is showing up.
If I can screw something up, I will.
Any ideas?
oops, let me revert my current root and try again, i'll have a fixed v2 up in two shakes!
in the mean time, if you are familiar with adb you should have root access in adb.

I just got my phone. Downloaded the motochopper.zip which is available for the other variants of S4, tried it, and no work.
I pushed 'busybox', 'pwn', and 'su' manually, did the chmod. Then I 'adb shell', and ran ./pwn . This is what you get:

It's probably not going to. Based on version this kernel very likely contains a root block.
Meaning even if you do get su on it will be ignored.
Did kernel source drop yet?
A kernel built with those flags off (at the bottom of the common defconfig) will allow root.
I can put out an earlier kernel that shouldn't have that block also.
If not Sprint has the defconfigs and we probably can build an equivalent for you guys.
(But I assume both may need that unlocked bootloader to play)
Q: In previous models - If you get a full restore - bootloader, modem, etc. and wipes data - will that take via Odin?
If so I might have a quicker solution to at least get root.

I recently had to do a full restore to my Samsung Galaxy S III using Odin. With the stock ROM. I used Odin to do it. Does that answer your question? There are also rooted (but otherwise stock ROMs) that you can install using Odin on the SGS3.

Patience, we'll get root access through a pre-rooted stock formware flashable in Odin like we have with prior Samsung devices. Dan Rosenberg
tweeted this morning he had successfuly rooted and booted a custom recovery on a VZW S4.
I posted a kernel on the MDK restore thread that shouldn't have the root block. You'll still need to flash it... which I thought still requires the unlocked bootloader.

Edit: Nevermind, it didn't work the first time but I tried it again and it booted into recovery. Thanks for the hack!
I followed the instructions and it said it successfully flashed the recovery, but when I tried to boot into it, it said it was booting recovery but didn't actually go anywhere. The screen blacked out for a second then rebooted normally. Any ideas? I'm not running the stock kernel, but the one used in one of the other root methods. Do I need to have stock kernel for this to work?

But that will work not for all customers. Some reported that after they recived and downloaded the OTA they got an error while installation in custom recovery.
I rooted my Nexus 7c LTE..

No, that's normal for unlocked bootloader. Only not shown when you close the bootloader again.

I simply went through the steps again and re-rooted it. I should also state that I did not lose any of my data on during the 2nd root.

I confirm root with Kingo root: easy, functional and secure!
Search kingo root, download the windows program, active the "USB Debugging" on the developpers mode (activate this menu in Setting -> More -> About Device -> 5 or 6 clicks at BUILD NUMBER), install and run the program with the phone connected....et voilà!

I used VRoot to root mine. Found out about it randomly (someone said they managed to root a phone with it) and, luckily, it was compatible with the S7580 as well.

I used the vroot. It seem legit. And I strip off alot of bloatware. plus I removed the vroot own su with the normal su.
Same here. I'm not sure how much of the rumors were true (about vRoot being malware and all that), but it helped me a bunch when there were no other alternatives. The support for S7580 is very limited at the moment and it was difficult to find even a way to root it.
All in all, I'm happy with it. Same as you HenryStar, I removed a bunch of stock crap I wasn't using and replaced the chinese SU app with SuperSU. So far so good; can't wait for people to start taking an interest in this phone so we can have some alternatives to the stock rom.
By the way, did you manage to install any recovery on it?
i have that phone to...lets hope that they will make a treath for trend plus..lets see...so we rooted the phone..wath did u make overclock?? or something to him?
I don't usually overclock my phones. Besides, the S7580 is rather snappy and I'm not sure the minimal improvement is worth the extra stress on the CPU.
Still waiting and hoping for a separate section for it.
Sorry if I was late with my answer and no, I tried to install custom recovery. I gonna test this so I can get an custom recovery on this phone in the futher.

now type "cat /proc/mtd"(without quotations)
A list of partitions(or w/e they are) should appear, you're looking for the one called "recovery". Mine is labeled mt8, I assume this is the same for you, but I could be wrong. For your phone's sake let's just make sure we're certain!!!
now in the shell type:
dd if=/dev/mtd/mtd8 of=/sdcard/recovery.img
your recovery.img should now be on the root of your sdcard
