Can we get a guide for rooting? topic

I haven't used an HTC phone in over a year since the original M7 release. I'm used to Samsungs where all you need to do is open odin and flash a few files and boom you're done. I can unlock the bootloader no problem but I am confused on the steps to get twrp on it. Can I just follow a guide for the M7?

[Q] Rooting topic

HI,
I am using Sony Ericsson Live with walkman..
i need to root my mobile.
I followed these instructions:
Before you take a step further, please make sure that your device is Sony Xperia Live Walkman WT19i . You can check this at Settings >> About Device.
Take a backup of your existing ROM using the ROM Manager App available on Play Store.
You may also opt for a backup of your important data such as SMS, phone numbers using one of the backup apps available on play store for free.
The rooting process work on internal battery power. So we would recommend you to charge your device more than 80%.
Disable all anti-virus software installed on you device and PC.
If you have kies installed on your PC, just uninstall it.
Enable USB debugging on your Device. The option for this is available at :
Settings > Applications > Development > USB debugging or
Settings> Developer Option> USB Debugging
Now your Sony Xperia Live Walkman WT19i is ready for a root upgrade.

[Q] Rooting from Android 4.3 topic

Hi,

I, after the long wait, foolishly updated my Xperia T to Android 4.3 (build 9.2.A.0.295). Before doing so I made a nandroid backup of my 4.1.2 install (can't remember what build). Only now do I realize this mistake as the current method for rooting requires you to start from a rooted Android 4.1.2 base. So this leaves me in a situation with a lot of questions that need answers.

Firstly, is there a back up technique that I can use (instead of nandroid) that doesn't require a rooted 4.3 device? And if so to what level does it backup (i.e what will I lose)? Or can I create a nandroid without a root? I would like to be able to use it as a safety net so that I don't lose everything if I screw something up.

If there is such a method I would like to root my device but I have been unable to find any instructions rooting from 4.3 for newbies like me. The current post by DaRk-LOrD just says "Install 4.1.2". How do I do that? Is it possible I can just skip downgrading and somehow go straight to installing CWM on 4.3 (I might be talking garbage, I don't know...)?

Also if I am to root I would like a way to get as close as possible to my current installation of Android 4.3 as possible (apps, app data, settings, etc.). How would I go about doing this? Maybe I install Android 4.1.2 from my nandroid I made before updating?

Also, does anyone know if it is likely we will be seeing a tool such as this one for Xperia T 4.3? Maybe if such a tool is in the works I should hold off for a bit longer.

I know these are a lot of question but I have been unable to find this information which is either relevant or applicable to my situation or what I find is just too complicated (steps are too broad and assume too much prior knowledge). If I have left out any information you need please don't hesitate to ask.

Thanks,
JamesStewy

[Q] Will Rooting My Moto G Uninstall 4.4? topic

[Q] Rooting and CWM my 2nd n7000 topic

Hi guys
I recently brought a 2nd hand n7000
This rom is totally stock, to be precise, it is a Hong Kong version 4.0.4

Since I want to improve the battery life and have a more defined rom.
I would like to root and install CWM.

Up to now, I understand that there's the infamous brick kernels out there. And I probably need to stay away from ICS.
But because of my n7000 is 2nd hand, i don't know much history about it.
i can not know for sure, that this n7000 is shipped with GB or ICS at the first place?
Or the last guy actually upgrade it from a GB.

My research in this forum tells me it's always better to start with the JB aka 4.1.2 stock.
My question is can i simply flash a HK 4.1.2 as a base without doing all sort of EMMC checking?
Then, flash kernel comes with root & CWM? And finally my rom of choice?

I would like someone could guide me and show me the SAFE way,

Thx in advance!!

Regarding rooting while on a Pay as you go plan topic

Hello everyone,

Just received my Nexus 5 yesterday and loving so far!

My question is: If I root my phone, will I have to set up my pay as you go plan again? From what I have researched, once I root, the phone gets wiped out, including data? Just curious if I will have to go back to At&t and have them set it up again.

Thanks!

Rooting VRUCML1 topic

Every android phone I've had I rooted except this VRUCML1 GS3. I haven't felt any need to with this phone. However I've gotten to the point that I want to be able to backup app data so I'm gonna have to root. I am however concerned that I first need to find both root and unroot (i.e. in case I have to return the phone) methods that I can be sure will both work on a VRUCML1 phone. Yes I have done some searching but any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Noob to rooting! Help with simple questions?? topic

Hi guys,


I've looked around however didn't find the answers so thought I'd just ask as might be useful for someone else too..

I want to install fonts on my Z1 Compact, however understand I need to root my device in order to do this.

I don't particularly want to change my rom or anything as quite happy with it.. Do I have a choice? Also, I'm assuming will lose all my personalisations during the process? Folders and icon location within my menu etc.

Basically, what is the most minimal disruptive way to be able to change fonts on my Device?!

[Q] S4 (I9506) rooting issues topic

hi XDA members,

I have a Samsung Galaxy S4 (i9506) which is the Snapdragon 800 version running Jellybean 4.3. I rooted using: http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=2529064 and device worked fine for about two days. I was able to delete bloatware but after the second day I wanted to delete another bloatware app (Chat On) but was unable to do so. A message saying "Su binary missing" and when checked with Root App Checker the result came up as "Device is not rooted". I even tried restoring through CWM because I made a back up just before root procedure, but that went unsuccessful. The device went into soft brick and i had to take it to a professional to get the stock firmware re-loaded.

Can someone please enlighten me on why the device reverted to 'un-root'????

p.s. no custom ROM was flashed/installed....

thanks in advance XDA

Need help with rooting Rogers Galaxy S4 I337M topic

So first off, I am have a lot of questions that I might as well ask.

First, will rooting my Rogers Samsung Galaxy S4 I337m mess anything up with the carrier? Like, will i still be able to call and text, etc?

Secondly, can my carrier track that I have a rooted phone?

And this is the most important question, how do I actually root this phone? Most of the methods I have tried don't work because the security app "KNOX" keeps denying access for the root to happen. I have tried many ways to remove KNOX from the phone, but none of them work....So how do I actually root this phone without having KNOX shut me down?

Anyways, thanks for the help!
