rooting A7+

---

I want to root my A7+ WITHOUT installing someone elses custom rom. I just want it rooted long enough that I can push GAPPS onto it. Is there any special trick with Elocity A7+ ??

Will I only be able to do this with earlier versions from Elocity?

The reason I want to do it this way is twofold.

1) I want EVERTHING to keep working.

2) I don't want Superuser snoops.

I can work with ./adb shell on this Linux or it would be even better for someone to show me how to COMPILE the newly released source from Elocity.

Thank you all !!

as shown in this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1431967 you could use Z4root.apk

It allows for temporary root

Cheers !

Yes Thanks . I did Z4Root PERMANENT. Did my thing and then turned off root .

I remembered just before coming back to post here. I never used ./adb shell push this time. Couldn't get RW with ./adb so I just copied from GAPPS folder to /system/app/ using Root Explorer.

First time I copied TOO MUCH AND IT WAS IN ENDLESS LOOP.

I repaired and then copied the important stuff...Installed Gmail and then rebooted.

All is well after reboot. But I had to go through Wizard again. Now running everything !!

another thing that i find funny about this new setup is that bluetooth and foursquare only run when while im rooted????

if i turn off root they dont work

So as I said in my last post, BLUETOOTH only works while rooted. (after having rooted once) So, I wanted to use BLUETOOTH with a new keyboard. I removed Z4root, but left Superuser running in the background. Well , once again, everything seemed to run great for a week, but then things went south. I was getting a reboot loop type thing, about 5 times before it would finally boot up.

I'm not sure, but is suspect this leaves you wide open to a virus or other malicious garbage. So now I'm back to factory with no Gmail or Youtube but I'm finding workarounds.
