You know that ZIP files contain other files?
You know you can extract those files?
You know that there are different folders on disk?
You know that folders are in a tree-like structure?
You know where platform-tools folder sits under SDK folder?
You know how to move ZIP files where you need?
You know how to extract ZIP files in place?
Answer all these, and you'll know what to do.
If you don't know the answer to one or two specific questions - ask away.
If you don't know some of the answers and can't or don't want to look for them - please refrain from rooting. Rooting isn't just for fun, it gives you some powers over your phone that you need to know how to use - otherwise your phone will have a great potential to end up screwed.
Whoa alexriio!
You can find a lot of people here to help you but you will need to do 2 things first :
1- Please write complete sentence. It's so hard to read you; a lot of people will skip you post.
2- Read these tutorial :

My usual advice is :
1- Print all part of the tuto (tuto, downgrade to froyo, CM install...)
2- Read it carefully and come back here to ask questions
3- Prepare all file in distinctive folder (check all file with md5sum!)
4- Grab a coffee (or tea, or beer )
5- Attack!

How to Make Your Own Custom Rom
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Part 1 : Setting Up Dsixda's Android Kitchen.
So, Do you want to make a custom rom or, mod one that is made already? If your answer to this question is yes then you are at the right place. In this article I will help you get started with setting up an environment to make your own custom roms or edit the ones that are developed already. We are going to take help of dsixda's Android Kitchen Utility to help us in this task and in this article I am going to help you get started by guiding you through the installation process of Android Kitchen on your Personal Computer. So, you might have the question in your mind what exactly is Android Kitchen and what does it do and whom it is for? Continue reading to know all this as well as to get instructions on setting it up on your PC.
What is Dsixda's Android Kitchen?
Who is this kitchen for?
-Those who are brand new to creating custom ROMs and want an easy place to start learning
-Those who just want to modify shipped ROMs or someone else's custom ROMs to their liking
-Those who are confused by all those scripts and complex commands required for building and extracting
Please note:
-The kitchen will not automatically turn you into a developer. A developer is someone who writes code or builds something from the ground up and understands exactly what goes on behind the scenes. The kitchen hides all that and puts a user-friendly interface above it. However, this may be the push that gets you into development in the future.
My goal is to give you the tools to make your life easier and save you lots of time, and at the same time help you learn about the Android OS.
A little bit of prior UNIX command-line knowledge would be useful to get started with the kitchen, but the help guides should be enough for a newbie. Knowledge of command lines is always important if you ever want to get involved in Android or development.
Code:

How To Install Kitchen?
1. Install latest Java JDK. It's pretty simple just follow the instructions and you are done.
2. Download and Extract Cygwin Packages and Android Kitchen on your desktop or somewhere easy to
access.
3. Once extracted go through kitchen_readme.txt and you will get an overview of how to setup the
kitchen.
4. To begin, install Cygwin first. So, run setup.exe from the extracted files and go through the installation
process.
5. Run Cygwin.exe once and it will create a folder with your username on /home/ directory.
6. Navigate to the folder where you installed Cygwin and go inside .../ home// folder.
7. Copy the extracted kitchen folder to this location.
8. Once copied, rename it to kitchen (type all letters in lower case for Linux is case sensitive).
9. Run Cygwin.exe and navigate to kitchen folder. for that simply type the command cd kitchen and press Enter
10. Once inside kitchen folder, type ./ menu to run android kitchen. Note: if you get a permission denied error then type chmod +x menu or chmod 777 menu in Cygwin command line utility first and then only run the command ./menu .
11. You will be presented with the Android Kitchen menu seen above. Use these options and get started. That's all. You have successfully installed android kitchen on your PC. Though this is originally meant for only HTC based roms some of it's features will come handy for modding Samsung Roms too. Please note that because of the same reason all the functions/features of Android Kitchen may not work for you.
Wow. Why did you copy and create a new thread and paste it? Why? Don't we have enough spam already?
EDIT: I don't see the point of this. Couldn't just share a link to the thread?
Interesting.
Thanks!

You can add apps in /system/app or /data/app
But if you add in data you will have to create appropriate lines in updater script!

Can someone with a GPE G Pad and has installed OTA please do a system dump and post it somewhere to download. If you need somewhere to upload it then please contact me and I will give you access to my FTP.
How to do system pull?
adb pull /system/ /gpad/422/
It will pull all system files and place them in your C driver under the gpad folder.
or adb shell
su
busybox tar cf /sdcard/system.tar /system/*
will make tar file of the system folder on internal storage
pull kernel
dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p7 of=/sdcard/boot.img
will make boot.img on internal storage
It will pull all system files and place them in your C driver under the gpad folder.
If you want to pull a clean dump then make a back up first, do a hard reset, boot into android and do the adb pull. After all files are pulled you can restore your back up.
Thanks!

Once done download android terminal emulator on phone
Type the following (phone needs to be rooted with busybox installed from playstore)
su
tar -c system/* >> sdcard/system.tar
Now transfer the file system.tar from the root of your SD card to your pc and place it the kitchen ROM folder
Run kitchen from the cygwin terminal
Create a working folder and select your system.tar
GOTO advance and select deodex
Set api to correct android version
Deodex
Then put the contents of your working folder excluding boot.img into a flashable zip - you may need to change the update binary and edit updater script

There may also be programmes that can do it all for you in a simpler way
[GUIDE] |ROOT + Tethering + MORE| Moto X ver. 4.4.4 for XT1060 and XT1058 (VZW/AT&T)
Moto X Root for AT&T/VZW [KXA21.12-L1.26]
This is a rewrite of instructions found HERE by CrashXXL. This will get you PERMANENT[meaning it will not disappear after reboot, but will die if you reflash or upgrade, etc] root on your 4.4.4 AT&T/VZW [KXA21.12-L1.26] Moto X. This will NOT disable system write protection or unlock your bootloader, etc.
The following steps were used by me on Ubuntu 15.04 to root my XT1060 from Verizon:
0. Reinstall your stock rom from HERE you will want the firmware that matches your current 4.4.4 KXA21.12-L1.26 firmware. If you are unsure how to do this HERE is a guide. [NOTE: If you skip this step and you are on 4.4.4 from an OTA then you will be stuck on the M Logo and will have to do this step and all the other steps over]
1. Make sure you have the necessary applications:
Code:
sudo apt-get install android-tools-fastboot python python-serial unrar
2. Download your _Root_<Your phone carrier>_KXA21.12-L1.26_Stock.rar from HERE
3.
-- a) Extract the files
-- b) From the terminal cd into the directory of the extracted files.
-- c) Put your phone into fastboot mode [reboot holding the power and volume down button]
4. Type [NOTE/WARNING: This will softbrick your phone. Which is completely fine if the steps are all followed]:
Code:
sudo fastboot flash sbl2 sbl2.mbn
sudo fastboot reboot
Your phone will have a black screen, but will be in QCOM Emergency mode. You can type in lsusb to confirm this.
5. Type:
Code:
python qdloadRoot.py MPRG8960.bin -ptf _root/partitions.txt
This will take a good 5-15mins. Make sure you are plugged into power and this step is not interrupted. Once this is done your phone will reboot and start up and you will see that SuperSu is installed.
Congrats you have root
NOTE: Read on to the next posts for more info and resources.
Xposed Install
The original post can be found HERE by Sabissimo.
Assuming the above steps were followed and you now have root. Do the following:
1. Download THIS for AT&T XT1058 or THIS for VZW XT1060
2. Extract the file as in step 3 above
3. Run the same commands from step 4 above.
5. Type:
Code:
python qdloadXposed.py MPRG8960.bin -ptf _root/partitions.txt
Be patient for a few minutes. Your phone will reboot.
6. Install 2.6.1 or 2.7.1 of Xposed from their SITE and install as normal.
Congrats you now have root and Xposed that will survive reboots
Thanks to @Nicene Nerd he put together a nice set of scripts to make custom packages to add/remove packages from system images. Check it out here!

-- Tutorial to bake in new apps. Thanks Sabissimo. I might rewrite this in the future to make it easier. If anyone follows that guide and would like to write please let me know and we can share files here.
Flash the same way you do the above.
This is for the xt1060.
Here are a list of addition flashables after you have root/xposed
Download:
This will change your /system/etc/hosts file to point to /data/data/hosts. Change this setting in AdAway and be ad free

This has the buildprop edited for entitlement bypass (tether check) and has all stagefright options set to false. This also has the CF.lumen driver installed (look on playstore great app):

If you are interested in MoFo, I first need someone to help me make the "pre-rooted" image. It must be in ext4 format. I have an XT1060 Dev Ed that is rooted. According to maiko1,
maiko1 said:
Simplest way is to make the system block device readable by everyone (chmod 644), and then adb pull the block device to your computer.
For example on the turbo via adb shell as root:
Code:
# ls -l /dev/block/bootdevice/by-name
lrwxrwxrwx root root 1970-01-09 20:49 system -> /dev/block/mmcblk0p39
# chmod 644 /dev/block/mmcblk0p39
Then pull it with adb:
Code:
$ adb pull /dev/block/mmcblk0p39 system.img
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
I tried that but I get the error
remote object '/dev/block/mmcblk0p39' not a file or directory
Now, I am not your most experienced adb user so I may have been doing something wrong. What I did was start an adb shell while my XT1060 was running in Android. Then I typed:
su # ls -l /dev/block/bootdevice/by-name
lrwxrwxrwx root root 1970-01-09 20:49 system -> /dev/block/mmcblk0p39
then
# chmod 644 /dev/block/mmcblk0p39
But when I went to pull it I got that error above. I just noticed that SuperSu had silently denied root to the adb shell. Not sure how to stop that.
Also, if I can get this to work, then I could put AdAway, Busy Box, etc. on my XT1060 and pull the image and it should be flashable with mofo.
Finally
I will follow this guide and then post results! I wanna root in my XT058 from long time ago!

Looks like you are trying to dd from a partition that does not exist. We can take this offline as it is off topic from this thread.

/dev/block/mmcblk0p39 exists - I can see it in ES File Explorer.
Bottom line is this - I have an XT1060 Dev Ed unlocked and rooted and was trying to help those of you who have unlockable XT1060's to be able to use MoFo. I don't need it for my XT1060 and it looks like you all have another option, although I am not sure how good of an option it is.
If someone wants to enlist my help, I would be willing to help but the ball in your court.
