Try Vroot sure it's In Chinese but it works

aaanadie · Feb 24, 2014

yes, vroot works, but you should replace chinese superuser and delete spyware

Windbreakerspeed · Feb 24, 2014

Haven't figured out how to fish that yet '-'

- root using vroot
- freez vroot apps using Titanium Backup
- install superuser open source (koushik dutta) and replace binary...

You can use "Titanium Backup" or "Chef's App Freezer" to freeze Chinese spyware, but free edition of Titanium cannot do that (I have paid version), "Chef's App Freezer" is free (no paid version).

You must freeze spyware apps before replace superuser, then uninstall all Chinese apps.

Using Chef's App Freezer is easy, just go to Google Play, find & install it, then open it, find Chinese apps in "All" tab, tap on one of them and select "Freeze", do that for all of them. When finished freezing them, go to Google Play again and install open source superuser, open it and replace Chinese version using normal method.

Trying to help, but my English is not very fluent, sorry.

What are the vroot apps?

aaanadie · Feb 27, 2014

I do not remember exactly, one of them is Chinese superuser, but there are 1 or 2 more.

pressypie adapted saferoot to work from a app for his and my F*Utilities apps. I got bored and decided to make it a stand alone app too since it works for several other devices as well. I added unroot to it and a root checker courtesy of CMDann and Adam Outler.

BRAINZ2013 · Apr 23, 2014

I am just seeing this I have something to tinker with so if u guys see any bright lights or flashing :eek:

:what:

just a little heads up I was performing a few test.

@PG

Do you have a saferoot repo setup?

edit:
NVM searched your git and didn't see one.

not yet, waiting to let pressypie have first dibs on my changes then I will push my src to github.

his and my F*Utilities repos have saferoot in them too. I still have to implement the changes from the last few days into my F3Utilities repo. I believe he even has the saferoot src in his repo which you would need too.

I posted a thread for it too on UPP.

[APP][ROOT] Saferoot app

Cool thanks.

I'm not trying to build an app for it or anything like that. I wanted to see if I could get it working with the new 12b firmware. If you guys are doing that then I guess no need for me to try lol.
