(This may sound like a dumb question, but I'm a noob and I've never rooted an Android device before. I've done a jailbreak a few times, though.)
So today I've installed Elelinux's Android 2.3.7 on my HTC Hero G2 Touch. I'm looking for a way to root my device. I've found one here, but I'm not sure if it will work because it says I need Android version 2.1 while I have 2.3.7.
Does anyone know a way to root my device on this version?
your already rooted!
theres no way you would have been able to install that rom if you weren't rooted BUT you say you've never rooted an android device before
was the phone brand new when you bought it or was it second hand? because if its second hand its possible that the previous owner had already rooted the device
I bought it from my brother a few months ago and I can acces the recovery menu and the bootloader, so I think he has rooted it before. I said I never rooted it before.
But still, I can't acces my internal memory or do I need another app for that?
u need root explorer
It works! Thanks!
File Manager by Rhythm software will do the job and it is freeware..
To see all file-system folders just tap "Up" until it is disabled...
I'm using ES File Explorer. It also does the job.
Interested in rooting this Fanfare I just bought, but not finding much info. I did run across a program that claims to work on this model. Questions I have... Should I back everything up to desktop computer first? My interest is to remove bloatware e.g. Google Chrome and possibly add an ad-blocker to Firefox. Is there much risk of "bricking" the phone? Also, I did read of a security issue on ZTE where rooting allowed all apps Superuser access... Has this been resolved? I am fairly new at this so any info would be greatly appreciated. I dont think I will flash custom rom.. I just want to delete the pre-installed garbage.
My computer is Mac. can't find any rooting software for Mac. I downloaded two (in android) and tried from the phone... NOT SUCCESSFUL.
Thanks
Hi so i need some help and this looked like a good place to start. I bought my girl a phone for Christmas, its the ZTE Atrium (Z793C) through Strait Talk from Walmart. Its a CDMA phone and it runs off the Verizon network. It was a decent prize, ok size screen, so i bought it (not knowing it was a peace of crap), its running Android 4.4.4 KitKat. So heres the problem it has a CD card slot but it only lets you use it for pictures and thats about it. Its only has a gig or so of internal memory. So it didnt take my girl long to fill it up with facebook, games and crap. I have never seen a phone like this, every android phone ive ever had at leat let you put sum part of your apps on the CD card. So i need some help, Im not new to hacking devices you name it ive hacked it and this is not the first phone ive rooted. If it was a sumsung or a Motorola i wouldn't be here. What the heck is a ZTE (crap ill tell ya). So ive tried a couple of apps from the pc and from the phone with no success (iroot,kingo root, kingroot,framroot but the apk i downloaded only had one exploit). IDK maybe i did something wrong. Any kind of help with this problem would be much appreciated.
Please help Somebody gotta have some ideas

I also am having the same issues. I use my phone for business and require alot of different applications. Please tell me there is a solution to this problem.
It has been done
If you still want to know, I got the device temp rooted and will be looking into a custom recovery and Tom for permanent root later.
Please can you tell me the best root for my zte atrium?
Right now I discovered a temp root for thr ZTE ATRIUM. It is the only root working right now.

P.S: For the root to last longer keep all the apps you had opened while rooting and open terminal emulator and type SU. Then accept. Feel free to ask questions.
Hi, I would be grateful if someone could help me root and install a custom rom on this device. Please refer to the 3 images showing detailed information about my tablet.
Thank you very much for your help.
hey did you ever get this rooted?
Hi guys. I am also very much interested in root for this device. If we manage root on this it will become extremely useful. Please lets keep the thread active. II havent been in this forum for a while now as I didnt have an android device since I sold my Note 5.
I suggest we contact any of the forum members who are advanced in these matters to assist us with the root for Overdyve.
I'm Interested as Well
I'm going to try to dive in and see if I can figure out rooting my Overdryve. Since they don't seem to sell too many of these, I think we'll have to figure out how to do this without a nifty app. If anyone has any thoughts/pointers/useful articles, perhaps they'd share them.

I agree with you 100%. We really need to stick together on this and help each other out noting that these devices are very few. In the event we are unable to root the device is there any other way of enabling Google Play Services without requiring root? If I can get support for the Google services I will be good to go. Currently most of Google apps are not supported. Thankfully Google Maps works as I absolutely needed this to work as the Rand navigation software is not located in my country. I bought this to use away from USA and so far the most disappointing issue is that Rand disabled support for Google apps.
I will read widely and support you where I can.
I bought the Overdryve 7 a few days ago and there is literally NOTHING out there to help Root it, install a custom recovery, or how to install Google Play Services. I have tried rooting it with KingoRoot and King Root but to no avail. I haven't resorted to such generic methods to root anything since Towel root. This is why TWRP is essential to have.
Bump :fingers-crossed:
Edit: Please delete. Wrong thread.
Still nothing new
I have the Overdryve 7, and 8 Pro... hoping that someone out there much smarter than I has been working on this. Eager to make these thing earn their cost back.

overdryve 8 pro, been rooted for a while now, but Id like to get the OTA updates that ive missed over the last year, and i keep hitting a snag on the OTA verifier...
/system/bin/install-recovery.sh has ben modified... sha1 doesnt match...
there was another file too, but when I rooted, SU made a backup of the other file so i just switched it and it passed SHA1 check.... but SU didnt take a copy of this file for back up...
any ideas? ive tried changing it to a .bak but then fails becuase file is missing....
anyone have a stock 8 pro, unrooted ever, that they can turn on just USB debugging and try to copy the file original file out for me thru ADB debug if possible?
Or anyone know the ile contents for that file on Android 5.1.1 build LMY49I/N8_1_0_170516_275
I wanted up load more detailed specs.... I also have the new OTA update zip, like I said it just goes too error tho because the install-recovery.sh file sha1 doesn't match because I have rooted, and SU remove root and factory reset do not return the original file
Oops file is here

Has anyone figured out how to install Google play services and play store. I got as far as getting an early version of Google store to work without crashing but now it says it can't connect to the Google servers. Oh well something's gotta work.

Anyone able too get into Fastboot on this?
I can see the option and select it from the Engineering Menu, but the decice just sits on the RM logo then reboots normally.
There must be a key combo like too enter the Recovery Menu, but I cant figure it out.
Anyone?
Would someone be able to upload the stock launcher, please? I managed to root and build a custom recovery for my TND740, wanted to try it out.
ji have the OD7C was hoping xda had it all sorted out lol
Has anyone tried this? I know nothing about modding android, but I was wondering, since VirtualXposed allows you to use Xposed on a non rooted device, would it be possible to run Daydream? Has anyone tried it? I tried to but couldn't figure it out, maybe I need a modded apk which I can't seem to get ahold of as lots of links are dead
