Hi all.
Iv been having a hell of a time with rooting my One X Plus.
Iv tried all sorts of methods as described on these forums and other alike.
I just cant get any rooting to work.
I though with the Root Kit by Hasson2000 id be good to go even for a noob like me, although i have rooted a galaxy before.
My issue is that the Kit doenst seem to "talk" to my phone.
I have ADB enabled on my phone but none of the commands in the kit actualy run. i get no CMD popup running either as can be seen in videos online so i assume my issue is somewhere at square one.....?
The "install HTC drivers" option doesnt even work with this software so im really at a loss with this one.
Any help would be great.
All i wish to do is root to enable use of nandroid.
I have already unlocked the bootloader by the way, i did so via HTCs Dev site and using CMD as the Hasoon2000 kit would even let me do this part:S
thanks in advance.

Okay, So I've been looking since August for a rooting tutorial for this phone and I've had zero luck.
I've attempted nearly every simple method of rooting (Gingerbreak, Superoneclick, etc) and all to no avail.
My phone has been in debugging mode and I do have the drivers installed (courtesy of the Huawei's website) so I'm not sure where to go from here.
I've learned that holding down the Power Button and the Volume Up button boots the phone into Recovery mode but I'm not sure if that's helpful or what to do with it. I considered attempting to use Odin but I can't find out how to get my phone into Download Mode (if it even has it).
If anyone could guide me of where to go or what to try, that would be greatly appreciated. I'll answer any questions that you need.
It's running 2.3.6 gingerbread, and the cell provider is Cricket, if anyone needed to know.
Huawei doesn't have the phone listed in phones that need the bootloader unlocked.
I've also found one tutorial, but it doesn't work, I keep getting permission denied on "adb push root/flash_image /data/local/", and it also uses Z4 and from what I've read, Z4 doesn't work on devices past 2.2, I could be wrong though.
Please help me, I'm a tad desperate.
Did you figure this out? ....or somebody did? Thanks.
Hello all,
I am a total newbie with mobile technologies, but know my way around a linux-box alright.
I just got a Samsung Rugby Pro through an upgrade at ATT.
My goal is to run Ubuntu touch as my main OS. I know some people think this is a silly aim, but its my money, so for the sake of simplicity, can we just agree that it is a goal?
I have been doing every backflip I can find to root this thing. Or flash it. Or do whatever is necessary to enable fastboot via the linux terminal.
The adb install I have works just fine (i.e. it detects, can restart it, etc). I have tried messing with the 51/71/99 android.rules in udev many, many times. Fastboot will not recognize the device. I have loaded the device into the bootloader screen various ways (via adb, via volumedown+home+power before and after plugging it in) ; no luck.
I figured it may be because the phone isn't rooted. This has led for my current root quest.
Using linux, and not having current access to any other OS's, I haven't been able to use Odin, or any of the other (likely scan) knock-offs. I have heimdall installed, and for the bloody life of me, though it says its working, even when the phone is in boot-loader, it doesn't do anything once the b*stard restarts.
I have tried downloading what feels like a hundered update.zip scrips, cwm.zip's...etc, etc. No luck! Whenever I try to install the update from the SD, it says there is an error in verification. As far as I can tell, there isn't a way to do it during normal operation; not that that would particularly help.
I have also tried a zRoot application, and a host of others...most of which all require root access?
Perhaps this is a simple deficiency in my understanding of this whole process, but there seems to be a bit of a loop of which one is needed first; root or cwm. I am spinning round and round; my cat is looking at my chain smoking funny and my gf says I stink.
So here I come to you all. How the hell's this done? If anyone has successfully rooted the Rugby pro on linux, I would be eternally greatful for the help. If you know how to go all the way to ubuntu-touch, you will have a cat and a lovely lady also eternally greatful.
Please...help.
I can't seem to root this thing. I've tried many onclick roots. You cant use the phone from 10 minutes without the phone going koo-coo. I want to load some random ROM and hope it works. I can't load the ROM without first rooting the machine and using cwm recovery or something. So I think......
Tried TowelRoot on the phone..Tried iroot on my pc etc. I've gotten my self somewhat familiar with adb in my cmd prompt. I'm learning just enough to be dangerous but not enough to make a difference. So far the closest thing to getting a root on this phone has been pushing some pwn and trying to run that. I did try MTK Droid Root kit but that started getting a bit to complicated to follow or they were ill written directions. Here is the nitty gritty...
I tried this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=2684210
All was going well. But when I ran nautilus in Linux it did not see the phone anywhere. therefore I couldn't move any files.
Then I ended up getting to something similar but pushing some code named psneuter to the phone and another one called pwn. pwn started but then said failed in the cmd prompt.
I rarely give up on something like this but I can't so I'm writing here. Should I persue the MTK Droid Root kit or does someone have something I should try.

I'm not sure if this will be much help, but...
I recently purchased an XGODY model G300 off eBay, from "eternaldealer". Not sure how much it differs from the X200. Anyway, as received, this phone had pop-up ads and banners. The phone was not really usable. But, a scan using Malwarebytes found three malware apps, "Flashlight", "BeautyMakeup", and "Fun Weather". I did a factory reset and then disabled those three apps. (I cannot uninstall them... yet.) With those three apps disabled, the phone works just fine. You said that your X200 phone goes koo-koo after about 10 minutes? That is sort of what I was seeing before I disabled those apps. So, unless you have already done so, you might consider doing a scan of your phone using Malwarebytes, and maybe a few other malware-related apps from the Play Store. Or, just going into your phone apps list and disable any that don't look absolutely necessary.
As for me, I do want to root my G300, but only to do minor tweaks (e.g. shut off the startup/shutdown sound).
Good luck!

Assuming this thread is still relevant;
A couple years ago I rooted my girlfriend's XGODY X200. You'll lose all of your settings and apps with the method I used, but if it's worth it you could try this post: https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/help/xgody-x200-t3347444
Kingroot works with xgody g200 android 5.1.
After the fifth attempt

My Nexus 6 has presented me with an interesting challenge. During my attempts/process to root my phone, inevitably, one must reboot your phone. And as the reboot takes place the phone always goes into the "Charge" mode and not the "File Transfer" mode that the phone was in as it began the root process. I'm at a cross in the road because I cannot complete the root process. The only option that has presented itself to me is to restart the phone. And while my phone works properly, it halts the root process. I have just purchased another USB cable that charges and transfers data/syncs to cover that question. Any hints would be appreciated. I have had this phone unlocked using Chainfire's Nexus Root Toolkit a while back. It worked flawlessly. I've not really been interested in a custom ROM/Kernel etc. but in continuing to research this area. I'd like to try and unlock then root the phone again. Any hints would be appreciated
If your phone got the January update from Google, they patched a ton of the "exploits" that previously were/can be used to root Android devices. These were pushed out to the Nexus line by Google and made available for OTA by wireless vendors otherwise. This could be the issue you're running into now. If you haven't updated, then I think you just may need to find an alternative rooting method, as the one you tried may not be 100% compatible or is missing some sort of command to direct the device to go into file transfer/download mode.

I really appreciate your perspective. And without a doubt I'll look around and see where this goes. Just reading about all the work that has taken place since I purchased the phone, the landscape is a lot more enticing.
Hey guys and gals, this may sound like an eye rollingly noobish post but honestly ive never had more trouble rooting an android device in my life! so I just got one of these:
https://www.shopandsmile.com.au/collections/android-tablets/products/10-inch-octa-core-3g-tablet
youve probably seen them floating around Aliexpress and the like, not a bad tablet but should go for less than $100 due to build quality, but moving on,
so its a Mediatek MT6580 chipset and the model is BXMC-K107
ive been trying to root this thing all day, I managed to unlock the bootloader with adb, however any attempt to root with any of the programs like kingroot, root genius, iroot etc have all failed, absolutely no luck with any of them, i tried the manual root method but couldnt get nautilus to work with my VM ubuntu install through virtual box, I will try again with a proper installed linux distro rather than vm but I cant see it making much difference.
I also used the main program people use for Mediatek devices (MTK droid tool) however when I open it, I get this error after it reads the tablet:
https://www.dropbox.com/s/gdis1ilv8qxccrm/Cap.........................ture.PNG?dl=0
trying to root gives me this:
https://www.dropbox.com/s/hpvdexxswwyeh33/Capturascsxze.PNG?dl=0
cant create any backups, cant use any program to root, and cannot figure out where to go from here,
any help would be much appreciated!
THANKS!
