Rooting ZVJ - Testing Thread

**epidenimus** · 04-06-2012, 08:36 PM

So here is a list of current exploits to try. If you attempt to root and succeed or fail, please post your results for the community. I will cross them off and include results in the OP as they are eliminated. Please try multiple attempts before posting results, as some exploits take several attempts to hit.:

~~Zerglings / Optiauto (sfhub)~~
~~Gingerbreak~~
z4root
rageagainstthecage
~~Sons of Korhal / zergRush~~ (drewwalton19219801) (Is this exploit any different than the exploit in sfhub's rooting thread?)
~~RootKeeper~~

It is likely that these loopholes will have been closed, but it is worth investigating. Further, a solution will be found sooner if we multitask.

I tried that app, but it won't recognize my phone as being rooted, which it definitely is.

sorry I noticed that after I pressed submit

I have successfully rooted ZVJ using sfhub's guide for ZVH here:

****Important****

Follow all steps the exact same way EXCEPT in step 4, Flash the ZVJ update.zip instead of ZVH.
Get the ZVJ update zip here: (just rename it to update.zip)

ZVJ - update.zip

I'm sure an up to date guide will be created soon.

Enjoy!

gonna wait for a one click root... the reverting back to zvd/zvh then updating again to root is just TOO MUCH WORK... and not to mention confusing for a lot of people who are not tech savvy

Unless someone finds another exploit (not likely) you are never going to have a rooted phone. It's really not that hard especially with sfhub's near-automated utility. You just need to read and follow directions.
