*DEPRECIATED* How to root your Android Phones

[iTpHo3NiX]

**PLEASE NOTE**
Most of the exploits will be detected by AV, these ARE POSITIVES!! Think about what you are downloading! You are downloading exploits in which bypass security on an Android (Linux) phone and obtain root, this is called PRIVILEGE ESCALATION. Its just like if your hacking a linux website trying to get root, what do you use? oh yeah, exploits!!! So before you complain about "my AV said it was a virus so I deleted it", just remember what it is you are downloading!

Ok so I figured I would throw together this guide to help some Android Users out. There are some websites that I will be referring and linking to as none of these are my works.

Preparing your device for Root

There are usually always a couple of basics to do when getting ready to root your phone.

1. Download Device Drivers
It would be impossible for me to list device drivers for every android device, so simple use google!
https://www.google.com/#hl=en&sclient=psy-ab&q=NAME+OF+DEVICE+root+drivers

2. Turn on USB Debugging and Enable Unknown Sources (Required for rooting then installing superuser.apk)

2a. Press Menu and Go to Settings

2b. Select Applications

3. Check "Unknown Sources" and then select "Development"

4. Select "Enable USB Debugging"

5. Profit, all done

3. Look into unrooting methods and be sure to download and save the tools for later use (you never know what sites going to go down next fucking SOPA) If you ever "soft"brick your phone, need to return it to the store, flash a bad ROM, etc. Its always good to have these files!

Now that we have the basics done, time to look into rooting methods.

One Click Rooters

Now there is no sense in downloading the Android SDK, using ADB and manually entering commands if you don't have to. There are several One-Click options for rooting your phone. However some phones just wont work.

Now some devices will let you root your phone straight from your device.

NOTE:

rageagainstthecage is a root exploit via a fork bomb. It IS a potentially malicious payload, BUT it is being used with owner's consent to root the phone. The DreamDroid malware use exactly same payload - they are trojans, but this is a helpful tool. It IS a dangerous tool in the wrong hands, but this is a root exploit, so you should exercise common sense and a little understanding of what it does and how it works.

Unrevoked (Select HTC Devices that don't work with zergRush or rageagainstthecage exploits)
http://www.unrevoked.com/

Supported Devices:

Code: [Select]

HTC Evo 4G
HTC Hero
HTC Wildfire
HTC Aria
HTC Desire
HTC Droid Incredible
If none of these are working then you have a stubborn phone, but if you really want root, you'll have to google it yourself or post your phone information and I will help you get rooted.

HOWEVER, be sure to check this list, its the most complete way to root phones:
http://wiki.rootzwiki.com/Category:Devices

Other sites you should check out if your an android enthusiast:
http://www.xda-developers.com
http://www.droid-life.net
http://www.rootzwiki.com

Now I know this isn't really a guide, but its a starting point so you guys know what your looking for and what to expect when rooting. Remember to always backup and do your research!

Keep in mind that there has been malware for your phones that utilize these exploits... They have been used with both the gingerbreak and rageagainstthecage exploits (which is why google really removed them from the market)

List of android exploits:
rageagainstthecage - Reversed Source with some documentation: http://pastebin.com/fXsGij3N
gingerbreak - Info: http://anonym.to?http://web.nvd.nist.gov/view/vuln/detail?vulnId=CVE-2011-1823 Source Code: http://upload.evilzone.org/download.php?id=1727083&type=zip
zergRush - Source Code: http://upload.evilzone.org/download.php?id=6981973&type=zip

I'm pretty sure those are the exploits that have been used in all the apps

rageagainstthecage - Android 1.6-2.2.1
gingerbreak - Android 2.2-2.3.4
zergRush - Android 2.2-2.3.4/5/6

Pretty sure those are the operating systems in which they root...

Very nice article bro. This is how I did on my Wildfire: http://evilzone.org/android/rooting-wildfire-with-2-2-1-is-now-possible/
I used "Revolutionary" and "GingerBreak" that time.

Nice to see you active again

[pl0tuS]

oh well thank you sir..
I was waiting for this article.

[iTpHo3NiX]

Shit I can't believe I forgot gingerbreak! LOL well its not really needed since Google fixed the GingerBreak exploit it most devices, however it will still work for some of the lower, not as up-to-date phone models. However its still a great tool to root most phones with I will be sure to update my first post

Updated first post, added in the top information about why these are detected as viruses, also added information and download links for Gingerbreak, as well as added source codes and some more information on the exploits we use to root our phones!

KNOWLEDGE IS POWER, LEARN MOTHER FUCKERS LEARN! :lol:

[Andrius_UK]

anyone tried to root HTC ONE ?

[pl0tuS]

anyone tried to root HTC ONE ?

Why? What's the problem?
I don't know about other devices but for HTCs you have to use their Developer Site to unlock the bootloader.

Source : http://www.androible.com/how-to-unlock-bootloader-of-htc-devices/

[iTpHo3NiX]

Yes HTC's require to unlock the bootloader, and most have S-ON which makes it harder and incompatibility with a lot of root only apps, and it can get dangerous getting it to S-OFF as most methods if not done properly can brick your device with no chance of recovery.

Anyways this is now out of date, but still a good starting point. Most phones have various tools, and a lot of one-clicks that use the ZergRush exploit. For example KingoRoot and SRSRoot as well. KingoRoot, roots most phones.

Agreed with non-stickey. Something newer should be sticky and such. Removing sticky, google will provide enough if relevant.

Also / cause of "oldness" .
