hi.
Here's "How to Root ASUS Zenfone 4" (I don't know in case device can be unrooted after rooted from method from the link).
1. is it easy to root z4?
-- Yes, In case you read(know what you are doing) and follow carefully. In short, not impossible.
2. like no problem in rooting my phone?
-- I don't think any dev take responsibility for any type of device damage after following his/her instructions. But mostly damages not happen. so always make sure by reading comments, possible that someone have replied success message.
3. once i root my z4, is there a recommended bloatware list i can freeze?
-- "Recommended", yep maybe in case someone have made list. but in simple, things you don't use and are not part of official firmware and by removing them it does not effect device OS. then it's fine to stop them or lock them from being loading in startup/boot or completely uninstalling them. there are apps to make this work easy. (i'm not recommending anything, just sharing for idea.)
4. is there other way to make the battery last longer?
-- Yes. there are threads on this platform.
5. and when will kitkat upgrade available to zenfone 4?
-- I don't know in case there will be Official upgrades or not. But maybe there are Custom ROMs on internet.
6. any unrooting guide here?
-- already answered. Other than last answer regarding this question, there are ways to unroot device with different tools type. but not sure about method of which i posted link above.
i just want to upgrade first my z4 before i root it.
-- I think there is option for upgrade/update in Phone setting "About phone" and in case upgrade/update is available then it will be Official.
Advice: Do not try anything on your device Until you know what you are doing. always make full Backup of your device before doing stuff like "Root/CWM(Custom Recovery/Custom ROM). don't take my answers as perfect, make more search, wait for more replies.... until you get enough information and are sure that you understood well, what you learned etc....
hope, answers helped you a little.

It seems that I have root for...most...intents and purposes, but not when it come to things like xposed or next app so fix. Now I'm running 1.4.4.B.0.37 On Xperia Z1s. Rooted using flash tool, note... Does seem to freeze at the reboot part when it tries to install busybox so I manually install from marke. I had root for awhile then saw on xda that you could "proper" root by updating threw ota. Tried and failed multiple times. I have a screenshot of the error from xposed. Any help greatly appreciated.
imageshack.com/a/img538/7642/7kC97V.png
Figured Out
Well, i never gave up and figured out the problem. Even though i had the newest version through OTA, it did me no good to revert back to last version since thats the version you have to "proper" root. Sooo, i downgraded...again...to stock (C6916_14.2.C.0.159_TMobile.ftf) then rooted and it worked. doing installs and checking as i type but so far viper4android and xposed are g2g. now to upgrade to next version (C6916_14.4.B.0.37_T-Mobile.ftf) for "proper" root. thanks and glad if i could help others with same problem. I think i will post a guide for z1s so others (seems to be alot of us) can have noob friendly guide. :highfive:
starting my guide...
I am starting my guide and wanted to know if there should be a specific area i should post it? Is the correct place here in the Q&A area? or in the Development area?
Hello XDA,
I just purchased a new Acer Iconia One 8 B1-850 and was wondering if I could root it.
I see many posts on B1-810 and similar, but nothing for the B1-850.

i want to root to enable the multi user option by updating the build.prop file, i've been able to connect with ADB but the device isn't visible in windows or mac (tried both) when you reboot into boot loader, in fact it doesn't appear to boot into boot loader it just seems to power off (when using ADB reboot command or choosing boot loader from the recovery menu) so i wonder if its locked out somehow??
Need it too. Did anyone find a way to root B1-850?
Thanks!

I too just purchased a B1-850 tablet, but I've figured out how to root it. Really quite simple. Just use Kingroot:
1.) Navigate to https://kingroot.net/ from your tablet
2.) Download the APK for android
3.) Install said APK (this requires you to have allowed installation from unkown sources in the "Security" panel of the settings menu)
4.) Load up the app and follow its instructions
5.) Reboot and try it out
For good measure, I would also unlock the "Developer Options" panel and allow USB debugging (adb access) and such; I did this before proceeding. You'll have to search for instructions on that yourself, its well documented.
This all worked for me this morning! Really looking forward to unlocking the potential of this cheapy tablet.
Kingroot worked first try, just swap their super user program with supersu. I am having trouble installing the xposed framework though if anyone has any tips.
I was able to root, now I need to install a custom recovery. CWM says this model is not in the supported list. Has anyone been able to install a recovery? I need NANDROID backup functionality.
I made a thread walking you through how to do it on this tablet in the guides area but just use flash fire for recovery and xposed install
Did the B1-850 hardware updated in anyway? I was able to root it in June 2016, but after a screen repair and factory reset and fresh rom from acer, king root and all others can't work. I'm stuck without any root options. Any idea?

There was recently new firmware released for this tablet (08/24/16, Build #: AV0L0.RV09RC04.WW.GEN1), and a handful of updates (08/25/16, 08/26/16) from Acer. I have this same tablet, and I'm unable to root after flashing to the firmware released on the 24th, and latest firmware (Build #: AV0L0.RV0BRC02.WW.GEN1) as well. Hopefully someone can find a fix, as the few different methods I've attempted simply will not work with the latest firmware from Acer.
On KingRoot Please click submit search if enough people do they will find a root until then just hold tight.

I have done this a bunch, sadly still no love. It's annoying me not being able to root a relatively cheaper tablet, as these tend to get rooted first since they get in more people's hands faster. Oh well, just have to have patience.
Thanks, I was having problems, two different rooters failed and I wondered if it was the recent software update! The image version on my B1-850 is the same as you have quoted! Please post if you find a solution, some apps that need deleting are annoying.

Which recovery do you install with flash fire; I don't see a link to it in your other thread?
Success!
The latest release of KingRoot is able to root the latest firmware for this tablet. I saw there was a new release of KingRoot back on the 23rd, and it's working as it should. I grabbed the working version here -> http://forum.xda-developers.com/devdb/project/dl/?id=21707
hi guys. any idea how to recover b1-850 from bootloop?
I no its a little late but i rooted mine with the kingoroot one click root apk. Ive installed xposed framework and customized like crazy everything from fonts to boot animation. Cant find a custom recovery tho.
I cannot root it with any of the tools I have tried (Kingo ROOT, KingRoot, etc). Anyone know any method that works?
Acer B1-850. Is this device even rootable?
This device has made an idiot of me. If I can be of any assistance finding a root exploit for this device let me know. I will gladly write a detailed procedure of the process. I made the mistake of assuming since it was an entry level, inexpensive device, the path to root would be simple. Three months later none of the common "one-click" programs has found an exploit. I have a copy of stock rom for recovery so testing is not a problem for me. It's a matter of pride at this point. So much so I found one on sale for $60 and bought it just for this purpose. I have followed every link I can find associated with this device to a dead end. Any help will be appreciated.

Same here, still no root for me. Usually these cheapo tablets are not as locked down.
Still waiting!?
I have given up getting assistance from xda on this device. Its as political here as anywhere else. I don't drive a Samsung so nobody wants to help with root. I've heard every excuse from locked bootloader (unlockable in dev options) to what one dev actually told me,"There's little interest in spending energy on an inexpensive device." I understand, but why misrepresent the site by implying all android devices are treated the same? Hell on the Iconia One 8 thread, it says that the B1-850 does not have a MTK SoC, but instead has an Intel Atom chip. Then they send you to another thread where, of course, there is no B1-850 listed! That's because it uses a MTK8163 SoC. In both tablets.
Hi There,
I have a Samsung Galaxy Tab S2 (Model SM-T710) and I'm trying to root it. I was able to get it done using KingoRoot via my PC but every time I restart my device, It tells me I need to re-root it.
The Kingo SuperUser app that installs after my device was rooting also is having trouble working with Titanium Pro.
Could someone point me in the direction of the most stable way to Root my device? I would even be willing to donate some funds for someone to walk me through.
My goal is to have Titanium Pro well with my rooted device.
Thanks in advance!

Just follow the instructions given to install twrp.
If you need to know how to use odin, search on google there's tons of guides.
Once you have twrp installed flash the file below with twrp to gain root.

Ensure you uninstall Kingroot and kingOroot root before hand.
I am a newbie and this is the first time I have tried anything out of the way to update my phone. I have an unlocked S6 edge AT&T version which was running MM 6.0.1. I wanted to update it to the latest Android Nougat and in order to do that I started searching online, but there was no such straight post or article where I can get everything in one place. I found a lot of information and many ways to upgrade the firmware but not all the steps were perfectly placed.
Anyways, I referred to many articles and posts and realized that it could be risky but doable so I went ahead and did it successfully. Though I faced few errors and issues but I found most of the resolution here at xda-developers and other online forums. I am writing this post to help all S6 edge owners who want to upgrade to Android 7.0.
My Phone Details:
Model: SM-G925A (S6 Edge AT&T)
Build: G925AUCS5DPJ1
Android: 6.0.1
There are two major steps involved to upgrade to the latest android version.
1. Flash the firmware with the higher security patch (keeping the device at Android 6) using ODIN software.
2. Upgrade the firmware to Android 7 using ADB software.
[Note: I might be using flash, upgrade interchangeably]
Downloads
Tools :
Latest ODIN tool (I used 3.10.6)
ADB tool (I used 25.0.3 but you can find latest version here)
Firmware:
First you need to flash you ROM to reach G925AUCS5DPK5 build. You can download this file from here.
Refer to Post:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/att-galaxy-s6-edge/general/g925a-pk5-stock-repair-ota-7-0-t3564102
Then you have to update the firmware to get Android 7 using this fie SS-G925AUCS5DPK5-to-U5EQA8-UP (put a .zip after this file to make it recognizable by the tool)
Step 01: Flash latest security patch
ODIN Working:
Link 01: http://droidvendor.com/how-to-install-stock-firmware-using-odin-on-a-samsung-device/
Link 02: http://www.droidviews.com/install-android-nougat-on-att-galaxy-s6-s6-edge-sm-g920ag925a/
My recommendations:
1. Use 3.10.6 version.
2. Unpack the G925AUCS5DPK5.zip file and you will find 4 different .tar.md5 files namely AP, BL, CP and CSC.
3. Use all 4 files at once in ODIN. Do not use only AP. If you use only AP file then your phone will be updated to the latest security patch and will work fine but it won't update the baseband version and will still show it as G925AUCS5DPJ1 even though your latest build is G925AUCS5DPK5. This will create problem while going to Android 7.0.
4. Take proper back up of all your files before going ahead using Samsung SmartSwitch.(Download Links : Windows, Mac). This way you can take back up easily as well as your pc will have the latest USB drivers.
5. Make sure your phone baseband and build are same as G925AUCS5DPJ1.
6. Charge you phone at least 70% before going ahead. It is just a precaution in case this process takes longer than expected. (Mine was finished in 4 minutes)
Step 02: Update to Android 7.0
ADB Working:
Link 01: http://www.droidviews.com/download-latest-adb-and-fastboot-sdk-platform-tools-win-mac-linux/
Link 02: http://www.droidviews.com/install-apk-files-using-adb-commands/
My Recommendations:
1. Use the version I have recommended above instead of going to the latest version (I faced some issue with the latest one and had to go back to this version)
2. Instead of opening the command prompt from shift+right click. Use run or search cmd and open it as administrator.
3. Change the SS-G925AUCS5DPK5-to-U5EQA8-UP.zip to OTA.zip or any shorter name. It will be easy to type the command.
4. If you face any error try using adb kill-server and then use adb sideload <ota.zip>.
5. Be patient this process will take some time. Mine took 25 minutes to complete.
6. Again keep your phone battery charged enough to survive the process.
7. After restart my phone stuck at black screen AT&T logo for 5 minutes. So don't get worried just wait, it will work.
8. Read all the instructions twice on the links provided before going ahead. If you are not sure of any instruction you can search xda forum and you will find relevant information.
Problems/Issues I faced
1. Reduced Storage: After updating my phone to build G925AUCS5DPK5, I realized the phone is only showing 16gb storage while my phone internal storage was 64gb. ( I found the root cause when I got my 3rd error, for the storage issue I was not bothered enough but wanted to go ahead so that I can get Nougat soon)
2. ADB Terminated: My phone got this error when I was updating it to Nougat. (The error looked like this : terminate called after throwing an instance of std::logic_error what() ). I searched online I found out that this is happening because of the adb version I am using, so I downloaded another version and it went through without this error but gave me the below one.
3. Status 7 Error: Again in adb I faced this error. And the error looked like this: 'Verifying current system..."/system/csc/contents.db" has unexpected contents. Error Pic Link.
I searched online and found out that this could be related to CSC file which I have not updated in my first step. So this time I again performed my first step using Odin tool but I selected the 3 files except the AP and ran the process. Yippy, I got my storage back and in adb there was no any error going forward.
Conclusion: I got Nougat on my At&T S6 Edge but I faced few issues. Being a new comer it was not much difficult provided you have the information and passion to do it. The steps mentioned here are very specific to S6 Edge but it can be used for other versions as well. You only have to make sure you have the current files and build combination otherwise your phone could be bricked. I hope this post will be helpful for the users.
Thanks for the detailed instruction on how to upgrade. Very useful! I do have one question though. Does Samsung pay work after upgrading using the method stated above?
Thanks for the great step by step guide. The only amendments/extra things that might help a little more:
Step 1) I used ODIN v3.12 as described above. Loaded all 4 files, BL AP CP CSC
***Basic missing step in the guide was to use ODIN correctly, you need to put your phone into upload mode.***
***Basic step, to prepare to use adb you must enable USB debugging while you have the Step 1 complete before you start Step 2***
Step 2) I was getting the errors thrown with ADB terminated and did some research. You have to use v25.0.3 or else it throws the std::logic_error what() error. It was challenging to track down that version of the adb but I found it here: https://www.izzysoft.de/ftp/local/android/
***Basic Step, in order to use adb, you must put your phone in recovery mode*** (and be sure you use v25.0.3)
Thanks again for the great tutorial!
Shame you cannot start out with latest version of Baseband version: G925AUCS6DQC1 that is in the phone and not have to go Back a version first to PK5

i am curious, what specific issues did you have? should i stay on EQA8?
i had success with this method following the instructions and commentary going from DPK5 > EQA8. One additional thing to note is that each step of the process (odin, adb) will wipe the contents of the phone. I backed up with samsung switch, but it doesn't quite capture all the settings so you may want to use something else.
Hi
great post, i followed your instructions and i was able to get from DPK1 ( 6.01) to QA8. Now I noticed that G625AUCU5EQA8 is not the official ROM so would like to get at least to G925AAUCS6DQC1.
Do you know how to get from G625AUCU5EQA8 to G925AAUCS6DQC1?
thank you for your advice.
here is another DPK5 mirror

Ok thank you, I will use this method soon, I wish that work
I am still rooted with OE2 5.0.1
Is there any way to update my device using ODIN without losing the root? Just curious. Switching to Fi and I unlocked my phone from the carrier, but since its 5.0.1 it wont run the Project Fi app which requires 5.1+ to activate and operate.
Illiteracy and instruction...
I would like to know why it seems like the only threads on how to upgrade a SM-G925A from 5.1.1 to Nougat lack clear language, in an organized fashion, that would allow those most challenged by the process to accomplish the task with the least amount of frustration. I really cannot comprehend how it is that someone considered a "Senior Member" is permitted to instruct on complex procedures, when it is apparent the person does not have a fluency in the language being used. I don't say this as an insult to anyone's culture or ethnicity, it just adds to the difficulty. Where are the moderators (Admins) when you need clarity. There must be someone who can impart the step-by-step procedure concisely. This forum is not useful for its intended purpose otherwise.

What you talking about? This is very easy process. But there is even easier of you read another threads and learn from XDA or YouTube how to use ODIN. When you ready to try Odin you can flash firmware from here : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=3611271 . This is 100% stock AT&T Nougat 7.0 Odin firmware use by Best Buys or Smasung to restore phones.
BTW Senior Members are mostly who build this forum. So just follow instructions, sit back and enjoy. If you need more clarification use your best friend Google or YouTube.

Clarity wins
First of all, not admitting your English grammar is in need of some fine tuning doesn't help to clarify the issue. Additionally, combining both ADB sideloading and Odin, without clearly delineating which zip files need to be acquired for accomplishing the task using one or the other method, just adds to the confusion. I upgraded my phone using Odin and the "OCF" "tar" files. But, I was getting confused as to whether I also needed to use ADB to get to "OCF". I started off at "BOJ9". Not wanting to brick my phone led to much trepidation. I wanted to be absolutely sure. The main question I needed clarified was whether I could go from "BOJ9" to "OCF" without needing to go through each iteration. Many people had asked this question, but no specific answer was ever given. Thus, my frustration. I did eventually figure it out, but coming to XDA looking for a clear answer was not the solution. I see a lot of posturing, responders getting snarky telling the confused it's in some thread yet to be dug into or just being rude. Just help. Really, if that's not why you're here, move on.

First of all, not admitting your English grammar is in need of some fine tuning doesn't help to clarify the issue. Additionally, combining both ADB sideloading and Odin, without clearly delineating which zip files need to be acquired for accomplishing the task using one or the other method, just adds to the confusion. I upgraded my phone using Odin and the "OCF" "tar" files. But, I was getting confused as to whether I also needed to use ADB to get to "OCF". I started off at "BOJ9".

First of all English is my sixth language I know 5 more, how much more you know, second this is international forum open for whole world, third I'm almost 55 years old and understand all process ( this telling me one or two things about you) . You must be millennial who thinks he is most important person on world. If you don't like it move on to different place.
And yes you can go strait by ODIN from your build to QCF with out any problem, but seems like you not read enough.
O! One more you must be Polish because only this people critique other people's language ability, I know because I was like this once.
Edit: Also I see inability to follow instruction or search. You need to have everything put for you on silver platter.

Attitude instead of resolution.
So, here it starts, attitude. I'm 56 and will shortly be 57. I am no millennial. Secondly, perhaps you should focus on your English grammar skills. While you may speak several languages, your skill with written English is atrocious. Even if your English grammar was passable, you have no skill at writing an organized and cohesive text. A simple, step-by-step guide to accomplish the task. Putting up a few links mixed with gibberish is not helpful. It's lazy and sloppy. Have some pride in your work. Exhibit some maturity and avoid superfluous writing.
