android.permission.READ_LOGS was just an example to explain how android permission mechanism works, Framaroot don't need to read logs, but it need to access some files which require to be in camera group to successfully root devices. Without requesting these permissions ... no root.

Are you ready for the revealed truth ? Framaroot need to access some files in order to exploit security hole in kernel, these files are simply protected by a well known mechanism : "Traditional Unix permissions". Let me take an example for /dev/log/ksystem : crw-rw---- root log 10...

All errors less or equal to 9 mean your device is not vulnerable. You have to use an other rooting method (CF-autoroot) The check for vulnerabilities is trivial and not accurate. Aragorn is often displayed but it only work on samsung devices. Choose another exploit with doesn't change...

Framaroot 1.9.2 out Hi, Framaroot 1.9.2 is out with the latest version of SuperSU. It should fix bugs reported by the following users : Could you give a try and report result ? Thanks

Hi, You are not the first to report this behaviour. When Framaroot say your device is rooted, its true, in fact the problem is SuperSU, because the version embedded in Framaroot is not recent enough to circumvent protections on your devices. I will look into this bug. Stay around if you want to...

Framaroot 1.8.0 out Hi, Framaroot 1.8.0 come with Faramir exploit which potentially affect Mediatek based devices. Half-Success mean you have to connect via adb after reboot to check if you obtain root when prompting with adb shell. Framaroot show Half-Success when the filesystem (ex...

Framaroot 1.7.1 is out Hi, A link to Framaroot donation on play store has been added. As mentioned in first OP, the application on play store does strictly nothing (but could do something in a near future) as it violate term of use of play store by allowing device owners to gain root on their...

Framaroot 1.7.0 is out Pippin exploit is finally available for Huawei based devices. This version come with Gollum exploit for AMLogic based devices (as it seems to be a pain to root ;)) Download the apk here from your device and install it directly. You must allow package installation from...

Framaroot 1.6.1 out Hi, Framaroot 1.6.1 is out, no new exploits in it. Don't expect exploits for new devices or patched devices, I will have no time to work on Framaroot in next month. Some users have reported a successful rooting message but without su binary installed when they have selected...

Open a new thread and did a tutorial is really fine but come on at same time why you don't post in Framaroot thread to report it works for your device. I have to say your post is really not fair : Lava Iris 405 have a mediatek processor, so only Boromir exploit work You don't even mention...

When it crash you have to relaunch framaroot a second time and it should success. If it doesn't work second time I recommend to try a previous version prior to 1.5.3

Framaroot 1.6.0 out Release of Framaroot 1.6.0 to exploit Huawei K3V2 based devices. This exploit is known about 2 month ago, I add it but I think it has been patched in recent update from Huawei, if you receive an error # under 10 it mean the exploit is patched Did you have some space...

Framaroot 1.5.3 out Framaroot 1.5.3 is an attempt to fix error#10 for Gandalf exploit, so only Qualcomm based devices are concerned. For those who encountered error#10 after selecting Gandalf with 1.5.3 version, please send me or post the link to the boot.img you use in order I found whats wrong.

Framaroot 1.5.2 out Framaroot 1.5.2 is out. Refer to the OP for release note.

Sam, Frodo are for exynos based devices. Boromir is for Mediatek based devices. As AT&T S3 is a samsung qualcomm based devices you only view Gandalf and Aragorn (this one will not work on your device for sure because it don't target your device but its showed as false positive)

For those who encountered a crash, can you give me more precision by sending your logcat output corresponding to the crash. Without these informations I couln't fix bugs since Im not able to reproduce. Thanks

Framaroot 1.5.1 Framaroot 1.5.1 released to fix crashes after selecting an exploit. For those who experienced crash without any notice, you have to try this one. If someone experienced with 1.5.1 a freeze (no crash but no message) please let me know.

Framaroot 1.5.0 Framaroot 1.5.0 is out with Boromir exploit ready to root MT65XX devices. Feedbacks as always are welcome.

If you want to update to superSU 1.34, go on play store, find superSU and select update. Otherwise you can install 1.4.3 and reroot without problem.

Did you try after crash to relaunch app and try again until success, if it continue to crash try with version 1.4.2

Hi, Framaroot 1.4.3 is out with a new version of SuperSU and a rewrote of fix in 1.4.1 for a better but slower exploitation. For those who asked me to help them, all I can say is to try 1.4.3. If 1.4.3 don't work, your device is definitively not vulnerable. So please don't ask to update...

Yes of course, you can consider code under GPL license

No its not related to boot-lock. Exploit has been patched or need some adaptation to work on your device. KennethTan20 : Just for your information, Framaroot require permission android.permission.CAMERA which effectively related to pictures and videos, but here the reason and technical...

dibartolodroid, I don't have GS4 so it would be difficult to do something on it, since Samsung add SEAndroid the easy way to root it is to use motochopper from djrbliss for Qualcomm version. SEAndroid is too restrictive for Framaroot and avoid it to success I think or Samsung have patched...

Many thanks Deadly and take care about your recommendation. Thanks again

Compatibility lists updated Thanks to BuTaJIu4eK, lists has been updated (almost qualcomm devices).

Hi, I need some information and tester to include root of GT-S5360 in Framaroot. If someone could provide the ouput result of "cat /proc/iomem" and "ls -la /dev/" from GT-S5360, it would be really great ! Thank you in advance and let me know if you want to be a tester.

There is no need to install cwm, you can do a wipe data/cache by running recovery on your S3 by pressing Power + Home + Vol UP

Did you try to wipe data and cache ? is0l4ted, I think vulnerability exploited by Framaroot has been patched in a recent update when I see your kernel revision date afshin_ms, same explanation as is0l4ted, exploit patched I think, it could explain why for someone it works (because they don't...

No risk of brick. You don't need to do a factory reset. Look at supersu for temporary unroot feature (or ota rootkeeper) when you want use readers hub and restore root when needed

GT-I9505 is a qualcomm based device, Aragorn target Exynos based devices, only Gandalf "could work" on GT-I9505. I have few questions: Did you try on Octacore version ? Did you see Gandalf in the list and execute it ? After execute exploit your device restarted instantly ? I ask because it...

There is a known and easy method to fix exploit but it should disable some feature or make your device unusable. For the moment I don't share the source but in the future I think I will release source code of framaroot You shouldn't lose your root after a factory data restore, root binary are...

Just to check, could you verify if /dev/video0 is present on your devices ? Thanks

Framaroot 1.4 has no change in unroot process, so it's strange you say it doesn't work, just remember Framaroot don't ask for root privilege, it acquire root itself by using exploits, so if unroot process doesn't work maybe you have applied an update and exploit doesn't work anymore because it...

Hi, An issue on qualcomm has been addressed to CodeAurora more than one month now. You will find details and patch about issue here for custom kernel developpers. I have published an exploit (named Gandalf) in Framaroot to root vulnerable Qualcomm based devices, you can download the apk in...

Its normal, if you read my previous post you will see than Gandalf is only available on vulnerable Qualcomm based devices, since I9300 is an Exynos based device it doesn't appear on list for your device.

Framaroot 1.4 is out with Gandalf exploit added, it target qualcomm devices. Details and patch about security issue are available here. As always feedbacks on working devices are welcome. Im curious to know if it works on S4 qualcomm version. I have no idea, but once or if you have one in your...

Next update should give the answer. I don't know, but I will say yes by security And between, a minor update in OP, the compatibility list for omap devices confirm that devices embedding OMAP3630 processors are only affected, last added device : Motorola Droid X. Referring to wikipedia, the...

I don't think it will work. S4 Android release have Seandroid, before testing you should disable it. But maybe the next framaroot update (scheduled at end of April) will work ;). If you want, once you get your s4, contact me by PM to see what it can be done on this device

Hi there, Framaroot has just been updated including Aragorn and Legolas exploits, Aragorn should target a wide range of Samsung devices. Don't hesitate to download Framaroot if you have a samsung device not listed in compatibility list and report result in this thread or send me a PM...
