Have you just owned an Android? It’s absolutely amazing, ain’t it? Yet, it does have limitations. But here’s some good news, Android being based on Linux can have its limitations removed by the process called “Rooting”.
Users like me, who root their phone on the very moment it arrives, are always keen to go custom as fast as possible. There are several methods out their to root an Android device which includes rooting via flashing the Superuser binaries, pushing them via adb/fastboot using command-line or terminal and foremost the easiest process by using a toolkit. Although most of the devices have their specific toolkits to perform this action, but certainly are limited to the same device and requires access to a PC. And so here, Framaroot steps in which brings an all-in-one root tool for rooting quite a list of devices by just one-click through your device itself, without the use of any PC.
Framaroot is a simple Android Rooting application developed by alephzain, which installs as a normal apk file and pushes the superuser and su binaries to your device, hence rooting it. The application is already compatible with with a list of devices from various manufacturers and is capable to root an Android device running version 2.x to 4.x. The list is still expanding as users seem to be keen enough to try this on their devices. Below is the list of device which are confirmed to be working with Framaroot.

Thnaks but you considered that method to be risky and it might bricked my phone?
You still want me to give a try
Hey will it work on galaxy s 2 i9100t? Plz reply as soon as possible.
Yes, it should. Not tested. There is no risk in trying.
If it does not work, try this tool too: https://www.droidviews.com/how-to-root-att-samsung-galaxy-mega-sgh-i527-canadian-sgh-i527m-and-others/
Hello. Will this work on Samsung Galaxy Tab3 SM-T210?
Not tested, but you can try.
Not risking it until somebody else does it successfully. I dont know how to restore my tab and might end up bricking it.
Don’t worry, it won’t brick your tab. It will either work or you’ll get error message. That’s it!
Ouch, it only showed the Aragorn option and was not successful. Any suggestions?
Can you suggest which file to download? Thanks
Download the latest 1.6.1 version.
hello sir,
i have a Huawei U8850….when i run this app in my phone it displays GANDALF EXPLOIT only and when i tap the GANDALF EXPLOIT it displays (Error #5).
i’ve attached screenshots…please tell me how to root my phone ??
Does it works in the samsung galaxy s2 skyrocket I727?
Yes, it does.
I use samsung galaxy win. I’ve tried using version 1.6.1 and it didn’t work. with my mobile, what is the most appropriate?
Not work on s2 plus i9105P://
Try this then: https://www.droidviews.com/tag/root-galaxy-s2-plus-gt-i9105p/
what do i used for a samsung galaxy express i437?
I have been looking everywhere to find out how to root
Has anyone tried this on a Galaxy Tab 2 P113?
Nevermind, I selected Aragorn and it restarted. Now, how do I tell if it was rooted? It just started up normally. Lol.
Okay, it should be rooted then. Just install and run this app: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.joeykrim.rootcheck
Thanks for the Quick Reply, appreciate it. It’s rooted. I was a bit nervous since this is my first time lol.
Does that mean I can install the infamous cyanogen mod? Lol.
No, rooting is not enough for installing ROM, it’s rather a license. LOL. To install a custom ROM, you will also have to install a custom recovery. Download the Goo Manager app and install TWRP recovery using it, and then you’ll be able to install any ROM.
You will find the link to app here: https://www.droidviews.com/best-apps-for-rooted-android-devices/
See the app screenshots to know how to install TWRP (open recovery). Also, since you are new to such things, read this too: https://www.droidviews.com/things-to-do-before-and-after-installing-a-rom-troubleshooter/
Hope it helps.
Crap, this might take me a while to understand. Lol. But I’ll definitely study this.
What about updating to the latest Firmware like 4.3? Should I need a Rom for that as well?
The official 4.3 is not out for Sprint Note 2. If you want 4.3 on your device, you no other choice than to install an AOSP based ROM like this (my fav): https://www.droidviews.com/want-a-fully-customizable-aosp-rom-for-your-android-try-carbon-rom/
Definitely would love to try this out! What kind of bugs can I expect from this. Favorite descriptions that I’m seeing is the Speed and Smoothness. I’m a sucker for those qualities.
Do not forget to backup your current ROM in TWRP and then proceed. If you feel any issue, you can restore the old ROM back. Therefore, there is no need to be nervous (I know it’s natural for a new user). I’ll always be here to for any assistance.
Just make sure to read instruction a couple of time and follow then carefully. Good luck!
Thanks for all your help again.
I have a Sprint Galaxy Note 2 and it says select an Exploit? Which do I choose? Aragorn?

Sorry SSung I8730 G4.
News about SSung Expres I8830 G4?
Did it not work?
Does this work for the Sprint Note 2 running 4 1.2?
Since it works on Verizon and T-Mobile Note 2, it should work on the Sprint variant too.
I just tried it a few minutes ago and it worked. Thanks.
You got adventurous spirit! Nice to know it worked.
Will this work on my Samsung Galaxy Express I437 running 4.1.2?
Chem the device list. Is it is there, it should work.
Hi, just confirmed, it works on Samsung Galaxy Express I437.
Does it work on the AT&T Galaxy Express? I tried it and both exploits that are listed say they have failed.
Your device is listed because users reported that root is working. Note that framaroot is not a permanent rooting application and it might fail to to its job if you have device with a firmware that has been patched the exploit the tool works on.
My device (SGH-i437) has Jelly Bean 4.1.2. Hmmm…

Hi, it has not been tested on T-Mobile S4 in my knowledge, but you can try it. It’s just a simple apk files that works on most devices. Testes on GT-I9500 and I9505 (Qualcomm chip like yours).
