How to root.......

---

Hi

I have a HDC A9100 3G android phone ( china made:android-sale.com/hdc-a9100-s2-android-phone-4-3-inch-capacitive-screen-mt6573-3g-dual-sim.html ) and I whant to root him.
I am new in android OS an I saw the rooting for the original Android's phone.
A little my phone info :

Model nr. : A9100
Android version: 2.3.4
Baseband version: MAUI.11AMD.W11.19.SP.V1, 2011/06/29 14:26
KERNEL VERSION: 2.6.35.7
ww831_a9100_yingt_original_v6
Tue Sept 27 02:36:10 CST 2011
Build number: mt73_w831_a9100_yingt_eng
20110927--23839
Processor model: ARMv6-compatible processor rev 7 (v6I) 632,42MHz

Please tell me is it's possible to root this phone.

When I google I see that this phone would be the same as a Samsung Galaxy S2.

There are lots of ROMS for this phone that have root access.

All the steps are same as other. if you get stuck in Waiting for device...
Turn USB Debugging OFF
Click Root
When it says: Waiting for Device, Turn USB Debugging ON

if the app gets stuck on "Rooting device... -Step #6"., just unplug the USB cable and quickly plug it back in the device to "kick" it along.

In this phone they dont have place name for manufacture. so just edit the System/build.prob file using FS Explorer as Samsung & Model Number: GT-I9100

I think this will help you...

It seems usefull

@eManuka : Thank you for the tips and help, now I have root-ed HDC A9100.
It works an also I must unplug the USB on step #6.

I wanted to overclock the CPU with SetCPU, AnTuTu CPU Master PRO and some more, but I don't worked.
You can tell me an application that could work?

Thank you

Hello! I have the same HDC A9100 device, but this method does not work on mine.
I use a Windows7 pc, with last 2.1.1 SuperOneClick, I followed the method described checking and unchecking the USB debug but nothing.
After few seconds SuperOneClick says "program is not responding".
Could be I do not have the right driver for the device?
Where have you taken yours?

Thanks

I did but I used Windows XP, on Win7 I don't know how it's work.

I whant to overclock the CPU at 800MHz but all tried app's not worked.

What do you mean they don't work? Do you have a custom kernel or rom installed?

Work fine SuperOneclick 2.2 to root my HDC a9100 (clone galaxy s2) but remember if you use Win7 64bit (like me) execute the exe like administrator and remember to remove the microSD from phone, cause Superuser do not finish to root.
