Worked for me! It was even easier than rooting an HTC Evo 4G. This thread, or at least the thread referenced in the first post, should be stickied in the Development sub-forum.

I am a Noob and I can Root my Note!
I had experience rooting a Milestone 2 with SuperOneClick and an unbranded Android Tablet with Z4Root. (Thanks to developers of these!)
Unfortunately, both these methods did not work on the Galaxy Note so I came here and found this thread.
Unfortunately, ADB drivers was an issue with the zergRush Exploit on first run. The easiest way to get around this is to install PDANet on Windows and have it install the drivers for you. No need to complete the whole installation, just watch when it's finished installing USB drivers and then when prompted to continue, just cancel. Then re-run the zergRush Exploit and it should do its magic (Again thanks to the developers who work on these!)
While I'm able to freeze some apps with ROM Toolbox, I'm unable to change boot animation or the battery icon. Would appreciate if anyone could help with this!

Rooting hav no relation to install official/crckd version of apk.
Rooting needed for those application which are needed to access your system data e.g backup etc
when you need to install these kinds of application (weather off/unoff) you needs Root.

The optional unrooting package works also perfectly (just for info)...
i have sent back my Galaxy Note to amazon just to wait for the white version of the Note.
This method won't increase your binary counter, so root and unroot it as often as you like
Never either had any problem at all after rooting it, so this method is also stable and won't crash your device in any way or crash any applications...

Root confirmed working here, superuser.apk doesn't have permissions set properly but still works, easy to fix, updates fine from market.

Awesome - confirmed working. This needs to be stickied... other websites are promoting netchips CWN kernel method instead of this MUCH simplier way.

For you noobs with a clean system (that means me!), get the following files:
Note I run a 64 bit windows box, get the 32 bit variants if necessary.
You need:
1) Latest version of Kies
www.samsung.com/ca/kies/index.html
download file for me was: Kies_2.0.3.11082_152_4.exe
2) Java:
www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/index.html
Click on jdk and download. File for me: jdk-7u1-windows-x64.exe
3) android sdk:
developer.android.com/sdk/index.html
My file was: installer_r15-windows.exe
4) zergrush root script
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1312859
grab the zip file in that page i.e.
DooMLoRD_v1_UNROOTING.zip
and unzip it to your windows box.
Install 1, 2, 3 in that order.
Find the SDK Manager program in your sdk install directory, double click it, and download/update 'Android SDK Platform Tools'.
Note you can't run the sdk manager program from the command prompt, or it'll complain that directories are being locked.
Now follow the instructions on the zergrush page, i.e. do the 'before you begin' stuff.
Go to the directory where you unzipped the doomlord zip file, run the runme script from a command prompt,and that's it.
To test, download terminal monitor, run it, and do a 'su' then 'id' and see if it says you are root or not.
Good luck!

Root for Kindle Fire HD 7 ( 7.2.2 / 7.2.3) !!!

So this worked for me with the Softwareversion 7.2.2 !
Step 1 use this tool http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1886460 and use the normal method.
(the program will say that the process has not worked but this it all ok) now the Kindle is very slow
and the display is blinking.
Step 2 now you use the Quemu Method for the 7.2.1 version (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1893838)
That was all and now you should have root!! n
*Update: This works also with the 7.2.3 Software version i only used the 1 Step ( Root many Androids )

Does this work with KF2 (non HD?)

I just used the 1st step. No need for 2nd step my device is rooted again! You're the MAN!

Isn't this the same tool used to root the 8.9? But we use option 2 with the tool instead of option 1.

Root for Amazon 7" Kindle Fire HD Software Version 7.2.2
Thanks to natorus87!:good:
Step 1 Use "Root MANY ANDROID!" http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1886460 and use the Normal Method. Pay attention, at some point you will have to respond to a "Restore" dialog box on the Kindle itself. Ignore any errors. The Kindle will reboot and now responds Slowly.
Step 2 Use "Qemu automated root" http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1893838 and allow the process to complete.
Step 3 Launch Apps-Superuser to initialize Superuser.apk
That was all you now have Root.

KFHD7 7.2.2 re-root successful!
Worked for me also on previously Qemu rooted KFHD7 recently OTA updated to 7.2.2.
I also had to use both steps. Serious brownshorts minute between steps 1 and 2 as it set there frozen and seemingly bricked.
Thanks

I registered only to say ... YOU ARE THE MAN!
A BIG, FAT thanks to you, dude!

This works for KF2 as well. Just Step 1 will do. The ADB in the zip file is not updated, so you have to download the newest SDK and then copy all the files from /platform-tools/ to /stuff/ in the unzipped location (overwrite all existing files) and run the batch file after.
ADB install still doesn't work after. So install a file explorer direct from the Kindle and do all the necessary there.

What a great news before the Chritsmas!
As exactly you described, after step 1, the system became kind of slow. I didn't bother to check if it was back to root and just ran step 2; then the system is back to charming as before. Thank you!
PS: I personally feel that 7.2.2 is smoother and faster than 7.2.1.

Yeah the rooting process hasn't changed since the last update, no need for extra/changed steps.

can someone make a system.img of 7.2.2 stock or something. i tried to flash 7.2.1 back and it seems to wreck it.

Thank you!
Worked great! Had to do both steps. Does it matter that I now have both SuperSU and Superuser? Only have the option to remove superuser and not superSU.
Thanks again
Luis

ADB not recognising device
For anyone else who may have had the same problem as me,
I had to move the ADB files over from the original SDK becuse the adb files within qemu and bin4ry's exploit didn't recognise my device.
The first part was easy, removed the adb file from binary's root and replaced it with the adb file from SDK.
The second part was not so easy.
I had to manually to the qemu root process by creating a new file. (The full cmd version is found here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1893838)
I had to copy the adb file and the AdbWinApi.dll and AdbWinUsbApi.dll from the SDK into a new folder. the added the su and superuser.apk files into it aswell.
Hope this helps anyone else that had my problem!

Sorted!
Worked like a charm.
Registered just to say thanks.
Now for Droidwall to stop this happening again........

Hey,
I'm looking to purchase the Kindle fire HD 7 for my girlfriend. I'm going to be under the assumption it will be up to date or will automatically update to 7.2.2. So can I use these steps to root 7.2.2 or would I have to follow the steps for rooting 7.2.1 as shown here beforehand? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1891939

{{NEW}} One Click Root [4.1.B.0.587/.431/ 4.0.2.A.0.62] {Arc S / Arc / PRO}

Hi folks
Here is how to root 2011 Xperia running any of the 4.1.B.0.587 4.1.B.0.431 / 4.1.A.0.562 and 4.0.2.A.0.62 firmware . No need to downgrade kernels or anything, just root it straight away
Rooting
Go to settings > Security > Mark "Unknown sources"
Settings > Developer options > Mark USB debugging
Settings > Xperia > connectivity > USB connection mode > select MSC mode
PC Companion installed on your PC.
1) Connect your phone to PC ( IMPORTANT > Skip PC Companion installation pop up on your phone.) and wait for the adb drivers to be installed. If these drivers don't get installed, phone would not be detected by Eroot.
Make sure nothing else ( specially flashtool ) is running on your PC in the background.
2) Download this rooting toolkit. Google Drive /// MediaFire /// 4-Shared and run it. If any downloading starts, cancel it by clicking the green button. Don't let the eroot download anything.
It should now detect your phone and show an option to "-root". Just click on it, wait till it finishes
3)Rooting done ( For confirmation see if any Super User app has been installed )
4) If by chance it fails for the first time, give it another go. it won't harm your phone in any way. If you still face problem, click on show content below
Go to your C:/ Drive / User/Username/AppData/Roaming/ folder and delete the eRoot folder.
If it says cannot be deleted then open up task manager on your PC and kill bec.exe . Then delete eroot folder.
Still not working ? used the archived method to root 2011 Xperia here below the animated Xperia picture.

Yes it's for both locked/ unlocked bootloader

Confirm working on neo L
Confirm working on neo L
For neo L with Tigris Kernel,Vengeance ... ( Unlock BL )
Just connect to PC , and do the steps in OP
For neo L Lock BL
1. Enable USB Debugging from (Menu\Settings\Developer Options\Development)
2. Enable Unknown Sources from (Menu\Settings\Security)
3. Enable MSC Mode from (Menu\Setting\Xperia\Connectivity\USB Connection Mode)
4.Then simply flash MT11i_4.1.A.0.562_kernel via Flashtool
5.Then Root using the tool above , after done manually remove and reinsert battery
6.Then flash back MT25i_4.1.B.0.626_KERNEL ONLY_bywewenk or MT25i_4.1.B.0.631_KERNEL ONLY_bywewenk
*If you are on .626 & .587 use .626 kernel , If you are on .631 then use .631 kernel

Awesome
Confirmed working fine on Arc S (LT18i) running 4.1.B.0.587.
Awesome!!!!
Just today I decided to finally root it. I had been looking for some ways to do it here but hadn't decided how to do it yet. I wasn't too enthousiastic about having to downgrade, root, and upgrade again. (Most of all, I didn't want to have to reconfigure my entire phone...)
The primary reason for wanting to root was moving more apps to SD - I'm tired of not being able to install apps and having to decide every week which app I need to uninstall since I'm running out of space.
So - I used this. The menu is in Japanese (I think - correct me if I'm wrong ), but I managed to get it to work after 2 attempts.
If whoever made it could translate the GUI to English and add an option to choose a language. it would be great. But even without that, it did the job for me!
Whoever made this - THANK YOU!

Yeah,
But what i need to know is, that eroot kit detects your mobile at all ?

It's probably the antivirus acting up buddy. I just tested again on W8 pc and it works really fine.
First connect your phone to PC with USB debugging on, then wait until the adb driver is installed. Only After that run the rooting toolkit . Cancel that downloading ( 10MB ) as soon as you see it, now see if it shows an option to Root.
If that doesn't help then follow this reply. ( Your antivirus might have removed some file of eroot, that's causing it to close on it's own, so follow this reply and install eroot again , but before that make sure you disable antivirus) >

Troubles with Kingo Root -read here for solution -

So you're having troubles using Kingo Root (mostly download problems) (slow, times-out)? Well, here's the solution for the Z1.
Download google-usb_driver_r7.7z ( https://db.tt/bBelFPAw ) Dropbox, no secret chinese site
Download sony_driver_1.2.exe ( https://db.tt/jf0yBDHK ) Dropbox for convenience, but you can find it anywhere else)
Install Kingo,
Put both files in C:\Program Files\Kingo Android ROOT or wherever your Windows installed Kingo
Start the program.
The other downloads when the program starts are from another server which is faster.

Hi,
Tried this but still Kingo tries to download the drivers in appdata/local. It removes the Google usb drivers.7z and I get the part file again.
Any other tips?

Well, uhm, when the program starts it checks a few locations fot the google_drives and sony drivers and if they're not found it will download the drivers. You can use http://download.sysinternals.com/files/ProcessMonitor.zip to see the locations where it looks for.
start procesmonitor (just an exe no install) then start Kingo...wait till the part! file gets created.
File>stop capture
Edit>find search for google-usb_driver_r7.7z, then look for the line that says "NAME NOT FOUND" or something or edit>search for Kingo Root and look at all the steps it executes. I can't do it again since it's already download and installed.
@Kyrius, links are working. Just tried. The filesize exceeds the 7z max by 100Kb or so on the forum so I couldn't attach that one.

so i finally got the files but after i put them in the right folder and start the kingo it deletes the file and starts to download ... strange

Both of these are already in:
C:\Users\<yourusername>\AppData\Local\ZJMedia\Perf ectRoot\drivers
guess thats why it worked ok for me?

Thanks for the share!
Made things painless.
Tried for fun to OTA .257 from a rooted .518 (vroot),
but obviously did not work.
I had at no point a part file in the "drivers" folder, and things went smoothly.

Many thanks for the tips with process monitor,
Turns it was looking for google usb driver in /pogramfiles/kingoroot not app data.

for 257 fw?????

I like to know whether it can be used on .257 firmware too.

I have not yet seen anyone confirming this.
Did not try that myself.
I think i read from a couple of people that they tried, and failed.
The way to do it (which you will easily find out in the forum) is to first root .534 with latest Kingo root, then OTA .257
You should now still be rooted

I try and dont work in. 257, try vroot and 360 root.

The right location for both files in my Win7 is "C:\Program Files (x86)\Kingo Android ROOT", so place them in there and all should be working fine.

Root 4.4.2 HP Slate 7 Extreme

Update5/19/2015 : Kingroot Apk worked on my 4400US model with latest Android 4.4.2
Direct download link:
http://mmgr.myapp.com/myapp/Kingroo...oot-4.0.0.233-release-201505071219_105001.apk
---------------------------------------------
The steps below work on Windows 7 (Not sure if will work on Windows 8.. If so let's us know) Make sure you have Administrator Rights to install software and run executable programs etc.
The HP Slate 7 Extreme has a few different models; mine is the 4400us and I am rooted with the steps in this guide, if you have the 4400us this guide should work for you. If you have a different model it may or may not work (one person couldn't Root their 4407ra). If you could let us know either way that might help others.
It is always a good idea to remove any android software from your PC before using that PC to minimize software conflicts {with the exception of Android Debugging Bridge ( ADB )... It might aid in windows finding device drivers (see link below in steps if needed)}
Make sure you have done BOTH system Updates on you Tablet! From 4.2 to 4.3..... Then from 4.3 to 4.4.2!
(System updates can be found in Settings/About Tablet)
Make sure USB Debugging is enabled on your HP Slate 7 Extreme... (This is very important)
(to do so you will need to Enable THE HIDDEN "Developer options”...
Go to Settings/About Tablet then start tapping on the " Build number" line! (No I'm not kidding)
After a few taps you will see on screen messages counting down how many more taps needed to be a Developer... Just keep tapping till done.
Then go back to Settings Menu... Scroll down to bottom and you will see "{} Developer options” open it and enable "USB debugging" by checking the box.)
Turn on install from "Unknown Sources"
(Found in: Setting/Security)
Also.. disable any lock screen that requires pin, password, Face Unlock, or pattern
I turned my screen timeout to 30 min so it doesn't sleep etc
NOW LETS ROOT .....
Download Moborobo http://www.moborobo.com/
Download Shuame's ROOT Genius http://www.shuame.com/en/root/
Install Moborobo & Run Program
Plug Tablet into PC with it's factory USB cable
Your Windows PC should start looking for and downloading drivers (look down in Windows notification area by clock..click on the icon that is searching for drivers so you can see when finished
...don't worry if one of them says failed)..
just let Moborobo find and install needed drivers etc
note: you will see something you need to authorize on Tablet screen.. so do so!!!!
Now look in notification pull down panel and you should see that Moborobo installed an app on your Tablet... Click to open once then just hit the home button once on Tablet.
[Might help to watch fist 1 minute & 37 seconds of this video only!!! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n5SsjnmV7J4 It a Guide for rooting a different Tablet... But it will show you how to use Moborobo.
...(DO NOT use the older Shuame root tool shown in the rest of YouTube Video!!!!!!!!!)]
[...if still not working (and you have authorized the security popup on Tablet screen mentioned above).. head over to: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2317790 and install the minimal adb client on Windows 7 and try process again]
Once your ready to move on.. ( Meaning: Moborobo sees your Tablet..) NOW run ROOT Genius (just Minimize Moborobo)
Root Genius will do it's thing (your Tablet Will Reboot during Process)
Profit (you are Rooted)
Use "ROOT Checker Basic" free in Play Store to ensure you are Rooted!
Note: Root Genius installs a super user app called "Kinguser" during the root process.. (which is also an app backup tool and has tool to disable apps from automaticly starting).
Per Jupiter683:
"If anyone has the Beats Audio Edition and they want to root, Towelroot works like a charm!"
Hit Thanks if I helped!

Screenshot 1
Used "Root Checker Basic" app to confirm Root Access granted.

Screenshot 2
Used "Xposed Installer" with Kit Kat Gravitybox module to tweak quick settings tiles...

Screenshot 3
This is the Super User app Kinguser that is installed during the Root process.

Please Note: that as of the date of this post.. there is NOT a custom Recovery for this Device. Do Not use any Recovery from other Devices like the Tegra Note 7 (you will brick your device). So that means don't use apps like Flashify etc.
We only have Root at this time using the methods in opening post. If you know of other Root methods please share info... I will add it to opening post.

Failed the process 86%
Hey there, I have did all process how you have explained... But always failed in 86%.... Do you know what can be the problem? Thanks a lot...

What Windows OS are you using? I used Win 7 to root.

I just rooted a 2nd Slate 7 Extreme.. got the wife one as well... And all worked well.
I have made Opening Post easier to read... And added troubleshooting steps throughout the guide to aid during Rooting Process.

Root .. failed
I couldn't get it to work either, goes through a lot of reboots and the says :
"Such a tough phone!"
Root ...failed"
Maybe it works on a partciular region of Slate 7 Extreme ? I'm in New Zealand (probably same tablet as Australia)

Is your Tablet on KitKat 4.4.2? Is you Tablet the Business Version (might have more security)? I'm in the United States (model number 4400us)

I looked at both tablet's specs online and they are identical. Are you updated to KitKat 4.4.2

Another thought.. Did you enable the "Install from Unknown Sources".. reason I ask is because thought out the process of rooting.. it needs to install a couple apps on your Tablet (which you can remove after rooting)?

Hello! Just wondering, will this work on a 4.3 Slate 7 Extreme?

Yes.. should work fine for 4.3... however...I would update to 4.4 before rooting.. if you can... so you don't have to go through process again to move to 4.4 later.

Great! Just tried your method and .........It worked like a charm! Just one last question; is it possible to install a recovery mode of some kind? Ideally, I'd like to make a nandroid backup.

No recovery has been made for this device to my knowledge.
Do not try a different device's recovery... I recently bricked a device doing so!

This worked!! I did it on my 4.3 tablet, so easy! Thank you justjayhere! :good:
