what file explorer are you using? i use es file explorer because it's awesome and supports root access. when you choose root explorer, you have to change the file system from ro to rw. by doing that you are then able to modify as you wish.

i ran into the same problem you did. until i found the video that i posted earlier in this thread. if you haven't tried it, then i think there is something you must be missing. if i remember correctly, i might have messed up the first time i tried. try downloading a root checker app in the play store to actually confirm you have root.
Premia Rool
I had the same problem phone did not want to root and super user asked for update. Well I rebooted laptop and phone and followed the you tube video in the thread. It only said failure at the first stage because it was trying to push exploit which was already on the phone from the first time. After rebooting both laptop and phone and running motochopper the third time it said "successful!'" at the rooting stage some thing it had not happened before. then afte phone auto reboot IT WORKED!!. So don't give up.

If you root your AT&T X10a you can use the method for the captivateto re-enable non-market apps. The location for the settings.db file is slightly different than the ccaptivate though. I created a thread about it. Search for ATT non-market.

So Debrand Is Wat I Need? And How Did U Debrand Ur x10a, And How Do I Find Out If My X10a Is "R2BA026"?
I have done both methods and rooting has worked out better for me. Better performance and better battery life. Also, as I said, you can easily re-enable non-market apps. AT&T is a newer OS build than all the others. Once you remove all the bloatware the phone is much faster.
If you really want to get the most from your phone, learning to use adb is important. If you concentrate on getting adb working, it will make all the other hacks easier to understand.

You have to use ADB from your PC to install this apk and then you can run it to root your phone. You can try Android Central Sideload Wonder Machine but a few people have been having trouble getting it to work. It works for me with my AT&T X10 just fine though. When you run this app it will allow you to select the .apk file and then install it to the phone.
AT&T has blocked all non-market app downloads but you can definitely bypass this setting. I was successfully able to install non-market app by the ADB method as Naplesbill suggested. You will have to download the android sdk and familiarize yourself with ADB. This can take some time, but well worth it!
See this handy post on how to do so:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=532719
An issue that came up for me is that the device id doesn't get recognized by your computer. I got it to work by installing the SE update service on my computer and followed the steps to update the software on the phone. This step will install a SE Flash Driver on your computer. I restarted my computer and somehow it worked.
I then followed the adb install method and got non-market apps installed without rooting it. If you want to root, you can use the adb method to install the one click root and then you are done. However, rooting you AT&T device does not automatically allow you to install non-market apps. It will still be blocked!!! You have to adjust systems.db settings in order it to change it. That's the step I'm at right now. Going to do it after work tonight.
I have a T-Mobile version of Samsung Galaxy S Vibrant.
I followed a guide here:
forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=7150299&postcount=1
I can get into the recovery menu and I can see the option to reinstall packages. However when I press a power button to reinstall packages it seems like something is happening and it takes about 3 seconds and then the phone reboots.
I tried to use titanium Backup and I get a message it can't get access to root. I am assuming that am still not rooted.
I tried rooting with this method two times and it seems the result is the same.
Anyone has any idea?

Ignore some of the idiots above me
But that is normally how long it takes.. It doesn't take long at all for it to work. Just go to apps on your phone, and look for an application called "SuperUser"
If it is there then you are rooted, and for apps that require root, there will be a little box that pops up asking for permission

Why are you going to flame him? None of the stickys have been updated with any information regarding root information for JI6.
Some people have issues, while other people do not.
I visit this forum everyday and still haven't found any definitive information about rooting on JI6...just people saying "hey try this" or "try that".
Goofing around without knowing what you're doing is the easiest way to jack up your phone. If he messed it up just following a thread by 'Billy-bob-Joe' then you would probably be the first one to flame him for not asking for help before he tried anything.
Cut the guy some slack.

I had the superuser application even before I was trying any rooting.
I also just tried another tutorial for one click root and another tutorial where a rooting is done from a apk file from within the phone but nothing seems to work.
Some people have the same problem at the one click root thread but there is no answer to that.
Thanks Tarzanman
I am assuming JI6 is a firmware that I have.
As of this post JI6 is the latest firmware for the Samsung Vibrant.
T-mobile is sending it out over their network ("OTA"), but you can also obtain the update via Samsung's (very buggy) Kies or Kies Mini software (assuming you get the software to recognize your phone properly).
It is called JI6 because if you go to Settings|About Phone|Baseband Version
then phones running this firmware will read "T959UVJI6"
Tarzanman thanks for your explanation.
On my phone is actually reads as: T959UVJFD.
Can this firmware be rooted?

Yes, JFD is the stock ROM. You might as well get JI6 loaded on to it, as loading it on after will reset your root priviledges anyways.
Best way to check if you have root is to download Terminal Emulator, open it, and type in SU...

make sure you DL the file on that thread, and follow its steps!
1) make sure you rename the dl'd file "update.zip"
2) make sure you have the file in the internal memory of the phone, not the SD card
Try it again, and let us know!
I have never had a root problem, though I do find it strange that you had "superuser" prior to rooting.
You have a brand new phone? or did you buy it off the internet somewhere? There's no way new phones have "superuser" on it already.
If you've already tried to many methods, i'm guessing one of those ways you tried installed superuser on the phone without granting you root access (which is weird too)
From the General Sticky (and it works regardless of JFD or JI6):
HOW TO ROOT
justadude had a great post on how to root. Please read his post. I have used this method about 10 times and it always works flawlessly and it's just so incredibly easy.
Be sure you are placing the file on the root of your internal memory (sdcard/). This is possibly the easiest phone ever to root.

The phone was bought from second hands. It was locked to T-Mobile. The guy who i bought it from unlocked it and claimed that he only used it for one week.
The phone came with superuser app. It is part of the phone and not a 3rd party application. I cannot remove it. I thought it was part of the stock apps that come with the phone.
s15274n, yep did that at least three times now with no luck.
Just to confirm. I am putting the update.zip file on the root of the drive that has internal memory of the phone, not the SD card. I am guessing if I was putting it elsewhere then the recovery menu will not see it as install packages option.
I am lost. Perhaps the dude that sold me the phone messed something up somehow and now because of that I can't root.
Thank you for helping me guys.
s15274n
Can you tell me something?
When you select install packages how long does the process take before the phone reboots?
For me it takes about three seconds.
It really does not take long at all.... several seconds sounds about right.
Are you renaming the file on your phone, or the pc?
My concern is you are renaming it update.zip.zip (because your pc is hiding the file extension).

I am renaming the file on the PC via total commander.
I am pretty sure it is not zip.zip issue.
Download the file to your phone directly from the thread I linked.
On your phone, go to the filed (sdcard/download).
Long press and rename it using Astro or Root Explorer, etc.
just start to the left of update.zip and delete the name so it's now just update.zip
long press and move this file to sdcard/
go to stock recovery and flash it.
Do all of these steps and tell me it doesn't work....
Moved to Q&A and closed
I want to back-up some things--mainly the wife's angry birds stats. Trouble is that every post I read talks about loading things using the market after the tablet is ROMmed.
I've tried putting superuser on manually but it doesn't seem to recognize root explorer. All this after following the root instructions found here.
Angrybirds backup, superuser ... is not available in the gtab market (hadango) found on the device when stock. AppBrain doesn't seem to have any way to get the appbrain app onto the tablet.
I need advice on how to get apps on the tablet or to get superuser to recognize root explorer, or perhaps just how to get angrybirds backed up.
I use titanium backup or mybackup root!

Respectfully, what you use isn't the question really. If I can't get superuser to work with it then I'm still stuck.
So to restate here, I need a way to get these apps onto the tab before its rommed, or to make superuser to work.
honestly, I thought my wife would freak when I lost all of her angry birds saves, but she said it was "fun" to have to do it all again.
For superuser:
Install ES File Explorer from market
Use ES to install Z4root from xda
Run Z4root to root tab
Test root using Root Explorer
For backup:
Install Titanium
Perform backup of User Apps
Flash ROM
Install Titanium
Restore User Apps backups

You can trust the link. Lots of good info there.
If you are on a stock rom, you are not rooted (unless have you used something like Z4 to root it). All custom roms are already rooted for you. Anytime you nvflash back to stock you will not be rooted.

Well I remember looking for an answer to root and finding several places saying that I would have root after following those instructions. I guess I let my experience with rooting got in the way of understanding. That or nobody thought to mention that you don't need root to load a new recovery image or a ROM.

No problem. It's all a learning experience. I knew absolutely nothing about android 3 months ago. When installing signed zips (which is what you install via recovery or cwm, the install scripts set permissions to perform the installations. Nvflash, also has root access. It' only you the user that doesn't have it when android boots on the stock rom.
Android is a big learning experience. There are no manuals and the only place this all exists is either in a post somewhere or in our minds. What 'goodintentions' did by creating the dummies site was try to make it as much a one stop shop as possible for new (and old) users to get the most out of their gTabs, but, there is just so much and each rom has different nuances that it's not possible to put everything there. Especially since he alone is footing the bill to keep the site going.
You also have to remember that not everyone is an expert and we all benefit by putting our collective minds together and helping each other. What one person doesn't remember another user may & hopefully help out. Just as hopefully you can do the same to someone else with your experieces.
Anyway, didn't mean to preach...time to get off the soapbox. Hopefully you can now do what you set out to do & if you need more info, feel free to post again.

Yea, well so much for z4root. It does do a good job of restarting the tab though.

Are you saying it didn't work? I used it on my gTab & Cruz Reader without problems. It's really simple. Install, single butten press & it will reboot. Where did you download from?

The provided instructions only provide a "TEMP" root. but hey, we are one step closer now.
When you reboot your ZTE Savvy you will lose root.
At least I can get rid of some bloatware.
Savvy temp root is a joke. Its a start but in to way did it help me. I can't get any of the bloat removed I maybe doing something wrong.
I lose root before reboot. Lasts about five minutes maybe longer. If I can't have full root to get fancy ROMs that is cool but would so live to remove some of the trash they install on here. Any help would be awesome.
A list of some of the apps that I can remove and how to do so would be super. I've tried es file to remove from system app folder won't allow me. Also tried titanium backup.
Titanium says it deleted but it is all still in app drawer just force closes the app I tried to deleted if I try to open it.
Then i lose root before I reboot. Once I reboot all the apps that I deleted come right back fully working. I'm stumped and hate the junk they put on here my phone says system memory is full and I have downloaded like 5 apps the rest is there trash.

A list of some of the apps that I can remove and how to do so would be super. I've tried es file to remove from system app folder won't allow me. Also tried titanium backup.
Titanium says it deleted but it is all still in app drawer just force closes the app I tried to deleted if I try to open it.
Then i lose root before I reboot. Once I reboot all the apps that I deleted come right back fully working. I'm stumped and hate the junk they put on here my phone says system memory is full and I have downloaded like 5 apps the rest is there trash.

There are not even any roms available. not even clockwork mod recovery to install the roms. if you install an incompatible rom its likely it will brick your Savvy. Though I would like to remove the old zte launcher for the digital cookies stock jellybean launcher. it is much faster and makes the whole system faster considering this is a low end spec'd phone.
btw i replied to your message.
hello,
i recently bought a cheap irulu tablet off ebay. it's running 4.2.2, and i'm not quite sure if it's rooted or not. i've read that most of their tablets are rooted right out of the box, so i downloaded 4 or 5 root checkers from the marketplace and some said it was rooted and some said it was not. i know that it does have su and busybox installed, but i don't have one of those superuser apps that request permission or anything. i can browse my full phone with any file explorer. i installed titanium backup, and it says on the main screen that root access is ok, but then it will pop up an error message that says:
BusyBox works but the "su" command does not elevate to root. There's something wrong with your "su" binary and/or "Superuser" app.
can anyone help me? i tried installed a superuser app to see if that helped, but it didn't.
anybody? *chirp chirp*
heh im guessing no one is rooting this tablets
I just bought My lil brother one of this Irulu's ones and i guess he's gonna stay Stock Xp

We cant give up that easy my friend ....
Hi,
Just wondering if anyone managed to make any progress with this? I recently bought an Irulu ax105 tablet running 4.2.2 and I'm having the same issues as the opening post. At first glance the tablet appears to be rooted, but I get that same message in titanium backup. Root Checker says that the device is rooted, but Busybox won't work because it says that the installer hasn't got root access. I also can't update the binaries in superuser because root access fails. Seems like it's not properly rooted.
Thanks.
I have a irulu that also said it was rooted. Installed su just fine. Was wondering about a recovery or ROM. Mine is 4.0.4. Tablet PC.

Custom rom already probably not. Somebody has to make one. There is a lot a rom can give but for myself I only need a custom rom to remove everything i dont need or wanna spend hours removing within the 4.2.2. These chinese tablets usually come with only the bare essentials installed. I would suggest gaining root and having fun optimizing it yourself. The first step when I go about creating a rom is getting jellybean just the way i want it without anything like games or useless apps. Then dumping your system and creating a base rom from what you got. Then you can remove the unnecessary, add any compatible extras...repack and install. Make it generic but original and youve got something you can adfly for any others on your model of tablet. You get some cash and the satisfaction that youve helped others with the ability for a custom roms. Thats all the easy parts unfortunately though. I doubt i should delve into that. Its possible you may get a recovery for another like tablet to work.
As for root thats easy. I chose to use Bin4rys tool. Google bin4ry and root restore its should be relatively easy with the correct adb drivers. I have 2 chinese tablets, one a quantum axis 7" and an irulu ak303 7". Aside from the fact that the irulu is pink and doesnt sport an hdmi out or rear camera, and uses a rockchip....they are identical in almost every way down to hardware. The adb drivers for the quantum installed via vista online as soon as i plugged it in, however I had to go to the www(.)irulu(.)net for the other. Then it was just down to starting up bin4rys progger and selecting each option till one showed print onscreen, and a tablet restart.
For future reference to anyone else finding their way here looking for root help on these tablets: If you dont have su installed, cant install su, apps say no root(or only half say root true), root only apps dont ask for permissions(or do but fail regardless) or any combination of those examples you most likely dont have root. And even less likely dont have root if you did nothing to gain root just check.
To make it easier sry....download and install SU. If you cant your not rooted. If you can load it up and be sure it all works properly and all info seems to be correct. That doesnt prove root however. Download an app that requires root, any trusted one shall do. Access the app and do whatever needs to be done in order for the app to request permissions of SU. SU should pop up and ask basically yes or no...choose yes and then assure the app did what it was supposed to do correctly. If it did you have root....if it continuously fails, or doesnt request SU permissions at all you do not have root.

Yes suprising lol, and lucky. Somebody might have made a decent ROM for it but I don't know one I'm sorry. You do have a good start on android though, a cheap tablet with a generic unbloated system. Start off with skimming a few tutorials on how to create a ROM by dumping a current system without modification of the actual files just dumping. You'll have a good jump start on android knowledge and even a little more about tablet hardware. It really comes down to the want or need of a custom rom. Which I would suggest either buy a second test tablet or learn more about ROMs before heading into recoveries.

I also bought a iRulu 7" Tablet 16GB and it does not even work. When it comes up it keeps saying that the keyboard stopped and a bunch of android files stop working. If I do get to set it up when I reboot it clears all my data ?? I'm returning it but man $43.00 is not even worth it.
I have a Kindle and a samsung galaxy S4 and they run circles around this. The only good thing I could say is it used and gave me 64gb with a 64gb mini but tablet won't work long enough to use it. I always have to do a factory reset and wipe all my data to get it to maybe work. I did this for about 2 hours last night and then gave up.

Thanks for the guide ,been looking a while
Just rooted mine
Have the irulu 6.5 inch mtk6572 unlocked 3g. When you plug it into your PC, enable MTP to root.
Just rooted it using framaroot from this site. Had to use v1.9.1, after downloading and trying every one. Only glitch found was that the superuser does not work correctly in adb shell, can't seem to get from $ to # when typing su. Had to install clockworkmod Superuser app from the google play store, now superuser works. Even installed busybox.
Ok, now that I have superuser access, wohoo, what I really want is to expand my internal storage using a swap, haven't figured that out yet though but have been working on it. Afraid to flash a custom rom, but do know that if you reboot to bootloader you can try flashing differant recovery roms, if they are not compatible, fastboot won't let you, when you look at your tablet screen it even says wrong recovery and quits, which is good.
Anyways, if I could figure out how to edit the vold.fstab, vold.fstab.fat.nand and vold.fstab.nand correctly, who needs a custom recovery?
Another thought, risky but may work, even tried playing around with the above mentioned fstab files by copying the android-x86 4.4 RC2:
kern
al
ramdisk
.img
system.
cfg
init
rd.img
to either a SDCARD or the internal phone storage, somehow blocking out the internal phone storage and booting from one of those, it may work. I'm running the 4.4 RC2 on a seperate partiton dual booting in ubuntu on my desktop. Figured out that you do not even need to install 4.4 RC2 from a usb stick or cdrom, just copy those 4 files to the hard disk, create a data directory and it boots up. So my thing is, maybe it will work on a android tablet. Wouldn't mind running kitkat on my tablet, and shoot, the internal storage is only 514mb, won't miss that to much if I could run kitkat from 2.11gb of storage. Another downside though is that alot of apps you like may not work doing this, know some don't on my PC, but than again, that could just be a PC issue.
irulu
