I have a few noob questions about rooting on cdma hero. these questions also might other people who are totally new to this. Please answer the questions in most basic english, thank you.
1. what can you do after you root the CDMA hero?
2. pertaining to 1st question, since CDMA hero sprint is somewhat different from original hero, after rooting can you do the same things on CDMA hero sprint has the other htc hero?
3. Is there something similar to installous and cydia on the hero/andorid?
4. getting the "free" apps from websites/torrents/or other means, will it work on cdma hero. to clarify the question, since most apps are listed as for dream and other andorid, will it work for CDMA hero?
5. when you dowloand the free apps how do you install it on to your phone (i know this question is prob answered on the forum but if someone wouldn't mind explaining it in a simple way then it would be appreciated.)
6. also the openhome or ahome i think, what is the difference to root and add themes then use one of those programs. assuming you download the program from the web.
7. what is difference between a rom and theme?

1.) all sorts of things! (http://android-dls.com/wiki/index.php?title=Why_Root)
2.) There are some differences but it's all the same for the most part (the main differences are what ROMs and Recovery Images you can use)
3.) There's no need for Cydia on the hero/android since you can install apps direct from the web or anywhere by default (just checkbox: Settings->Applications->Unknown Sources).
4.) You can download apps direct from the web just fine, see above. Some apps are coded specifically to take advantage of other models but they usually will say so...and if it doesn't work, you can just uninstall it from the app manager.
5.) When you download a free app, you just run it and it installs (If that doesn't work, you may need a file manager, I use Astro file manager from the market)
thanks for info!

6 & 7. Themes change the look of your UI. They are not permanent things and can be removed at any time with no problem or messing with backups etc. Roms are what you need root for. Roms can fully change code inside of the phone and can extend functionality past what you can usually do ie(stock roms cant wifi tether but the custom rom can). Roms are harder to get rid of though and to go back to what it was before you have to restore your phone to a previous state. Its all up to what you think you need.
My galaxy note kernel version is DXLC2 (malaysia)
Did I need to downgrade my kernel version frist???
I suggest you don't root your phone otherwise it will be too troublesome for you, i.e. do a lot of reading, keep up with development (which also need a lot of reading), fine tuning your custom ROM (which also need a lot of reading), the list will never ends (which unfortunately needs much reading as well!).

Yes, you should downgrade first in order to get root. Here's a little guide I wrote on how to do it, hope it helps:

Hey danwteik,
Indeed you need to do some further researching before proceed for rooting as I believe you don't want to screw your phone up.
But as long as you're prepared, you're OK. Am too a newbie to Android and after lots of research, I've successfully root & flash my phone to custom rom as well.
Just follow this guide from Ashwin, great step by step guide and you won't need to worry much as you can proceed as per the video:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cJjh6gi0Spw
Just like the firmware from the video, go download it from Dr Ketan's thread:

questions regarding root
hi all xda guys,
I am new to droid and love it thus far...
after having my galaxy note for a few weeks and doing some reading, ive decided i want to root my phone to have the best working phone possible HOWEVER im completely clueless when it comes to being this technologically adept. so i hae a few questions as follow:
1. ive read the root thread and see that there are a few different options for rooting, in everyones opinion which is the best / easiest to perform the most basic root to unlock my phone, root it and be able to install custom items.
2. CWM i assume means clock work mod...what is this mod exactly? and why is it important to install along with the root?
3. my phone settings read that my kernel version is 2.6.35.11..one rooting option i believe requires you finding out which kernel your running and they list kernels as kk## etc. how do i figure out exacty which kernel I am if it only reads the previously listed kernel version?
4. what exactly does it mean when someone told me theyre going to instal custom kernels? ( i have a friend who just bought and rooted a new Samsung GS2 and im curious as to what this means)
5. i've read the rooting directions and watched videos posted and googled my brains out...does anyone know where i can go to find the most basic and simplest explanation and directions for rooting my GN? (if youre reading and got this far and saying the explaination in the root thread IS THE EASIEST it can be....i need something dumbed down to the level a 2 year old can understand....this stuff is mind-boggling confusing for me for some reason i cant wrap my head around the process or the concept)
6. i basically want to root my phone for these reasons
- to figure out and manage to make my phone use less running ram to run faster
- to be able to install or customize the phone to make my battery last longer
- to be able to do whatever it takes to tether my phone without having to pay for it in my data plan
-to be able to install or whatever it is that allows me to customize my phone (themes, fonts, icons, etc)
- to use my phone worldwide on different carriers without having to pay for unlocking, buying other sim cards etc.
- to install or whatever to have my phone do amazingly cool stuff. (this isnt as important as 1-5 but hey who doesnt want a phone that can do everything and then some?
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE SOMEONE HELP! i've googled it and asked friends and even have contacted someone on craigslist who offers a service for a nominal fee. but im smart and smart enough technologically speaking that i can figure it out.
i just need someone to sit down with me and explain everything step by step and answer my questions. PLEASE i'm willing to do anything and everything possible to learn and re-pay someone for their awesome-ness and sharing their intelligence.
someone something, please help a fellow user out.
*i'd even go so far as to pay-pal someone a few bucks or bake you a cake and ship it to you. im that serious.
please guys,
XDA rocks, droid rocks, YOU rock, just help me out...i've spent 5 days trolling xdas forums and other sites and forums and have just gotten more confused. someone dumb this down for me!

Hi,
I just got my Galaxy Note last week and would like to root it. I found the link below and would like to check with you guys first if they really work. I could not post on that thread for I'm a new member. I think some of you have posted in that thread too. Please help.

3.yes, flash with Stock ROM with PC odin, will unroot it.
4.Read installation guide on post from whr you downloading. I can add, dont flash CSC otherwise, it will wipe off data.
Hello Friends.
I am very keen on getting started with the Rooting process for my Galaxy Note. I have been reading and trying to comprehend the various methods of achieving root but it seems overwhelming and daunting.
I reiterate what I have stated in another thread, I am an infant in this domain. I feel much too confused presently and thus I humbly request you to please guide me one step at a time.
At the very beginning, I aspire to achieve two motives. They are -
1] Root my device
2] Back up the stock ROM
My device details are :
Model number
GT-N7000
Android version
2.3.6
Baseband version
N7000XXKK5
Kernel version
2.6.35.7-N7000XXKKA-CL726566
[email protected] #2
Build number
GINGERBREAD.XXKKA
I thank you in advance for continuing to have patience with me.
Hello people,
I am fairly new to this forum and I have the following questions that I would appreciate help for.
1. Has any one rooted the I9305, HongKong ( ZHBLJ1 ) Build using the Toolkit? This build is not there in the Toolkit model selection options for I9305.
2. Can we flash the CWM intended for I9300 on our I9305 ?
Thanks in advance!

The most simpler way to root at the moment is this:forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2050297
As an extra you'll get a patch to security hole of exsynos syst3m.
Regarding recovery dont know for cwm but you can use goo manager from the market to flash TWRP. Just open the optios and choose something like 'install the open recovery script'.
For the case yiu are wondering, yes I am using GS3 LTE I9305.

TWRP works for the i9305? I don't think so, the official site doesn't state it and I have not seen anywhere else that it has been ported. Then again, I haven't tried it myself

I am terribly sorry. You are right. The problem was I have both GN 2 and SG3, was tired and so mixed the devices...
Regarding root method, that works on both devices.
Here is a link for the case OP wants to install CWM:
www.androidauthority.com/galaxy-s3-gt-i9305-root-clockworkmod-recovery-126605/
Here is the direct link to xda thread in dev section;
forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1914394
I will also try flashing twrp later when i find time and report back.
Regarding the toolkit, that's actually a question for the dev. I am going to ask him that by myself, I have donated version and since he has a thread in dev section of I9305 he should have some knowledge about this and what for his toolkit can actually be used with LTE SG3.

Is there anything I need to take care of before rooting using the first method? Apart from the usual backup of data? Any issues with the Camera as mentioned in that thread? (this is pertaining to our I9305 specifically).
Thank you, I will track that Toolkit thread for I9305 as well!

You got link for CWM? Regarding camera problem, it doesn't have anything to do with rooting. It happens on some devices if one ticks 'patch hole' or whatever. I personally didn't have that problem but another one which maybe isn't related to the patch. It happened only once, a day ago, couldn't hear anything when calling someone or when someone was calling me. Reboot 'solved' it.
To bad that the best SG3 edition receives so little support from devs. It is probably Samsung's fault. They even change encryption method, or some parts of it, so for example with note 2 I am not able to use twrp when encrypted. In feature I am going to buy probably only nexus devices even galaxy note feature editions could pose a temptation. Bit soon we will be getting devices with 1080 resolution and hopefully there will be nexuses with bigger screen.

Yes from the link you gave, Thanks. I am having the problem that the CWM doesn't stick and I get the stock recovery back after the reboot.. They are talking about the /system/boot-recovery.p file which isn't on my phone. It has the /system/recovery-from-boot.p file. Are they the same file ?
Even I am surprised that our S3 model has such little support here. I am hoping that it will only get better as many people get their hands on this!! :good:

In case you haven't heard of me, I've been helping a lot around the Atrix 2 community. Then when i bricked it, at&t ran out of Atrix 2s and gave me and Atrix HD instead. Since then, I've been hiding in the shadows so I won't look like a n00b.

Started the download but its crawling along even on 20mbps connection.
Im no Deve though. Still the link I posted is a downgrade for US ATT phones!
IF that really works then we are saved even if JB isnt rooted ever!
So check it out as well. It uses QPST to fix bricked phones from the translated english I could make out.
i tried it
I tried no brick but it wouldnt come out of fastboot. Flashed back to 4.1.1 because it wouldn't let me flash to ICS either.
What method did you try.
The root or the rollback?
IDK anything yet,

In China they sell them with unlocked bootloaders out of the box, don't even have to unlock them lol
So what's that mean for us Matt? While you LOL we wait anxiously for any hope of root.
Kinda figures the chinese hackers would be better than us
Since no one brought this up. This is form the chinese forum specificaly for ATT phones and rolling back.
We have to be able to get something from this. Here is the translated forum post and thread link.
http://bbs.gfan.com/android-5675929-1-1.html
Thread Title Translates into "[Experience] 4.1 downgrade to 4 and then root then OTA upgrade to 4.1 and then delete the at&t official app"

Hand machine is 4.1.1 Chinese, no locked bootloader, you have root, Forum of Chinese-speaking fees, useful original and I try not to toss the habit
http://sbf.droid-developers.org/dinara/list.php
4.1.1 under firmware, installed the pre-release driver according to RSD brush machine for tutorials in the forums.
All the best, starting with a long time feels good, but too many app at&t too tired, and would also like to buy things with market unlocker (because they do the Internet for many years, never trusting any app store in the country, even before the official market is entering into the definition, 4 well after some), there is the root idea.
Forums and XDA-pass, and found that we cannot root, downgrading is dangerous, but don't see a post saying who try to downgrade the bricks.

Is there a chance that the custom roms can be used in these china versions? I am tired of the blinkfeed screen and would like a custom rom installed to get rid of this. Not sure if these roms can be used without destroying 2 sim card support.
thanks.
just install a different launcher if you dont want blinkfeed
I'm not sure whether ROMs will work on your variant (but I'd guess that they would) but as long as you're rooted with a custom recovery installed then you could always try it and see if you can install them or not. Of course, just make sure that you make a backup beforehand so if anything goes wrong, you can make sure that you can recover your phone to a working state.
You don't actually need to install a custom ROM to get rid of blinkfeed though. If you take a look at Q12 on the HTC One FAQ, you'll see that there are 2 ways you can "get rid" of blinkfeed without needing to install a ROM.
*NOTE* As this is a question, you shouldn't have posted your thread in the development section. I've just asked a moderator to move your thread to the Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting forum. Please remember to use that section if you have any further questions.

So far all 3 recovers in one forum can not be flahsed into One 802w. So there is no way to root it at this moment.
Not sure any recovery can be made for 802w or not.

If you can read Mandarin I would recommend trying out this site. It's probably the best and most reliable of the Chinese sites for custom Rom and rooting solutions for PRC specific devices: http://bbs.gfan.com/forum.php?mod=forumdisplay&fid=1257
Just want to Root and install Google Apps
Hi Guys Im not looking for a custom rom, but would like to be able to root my 802W so that I can install google apps.

The poster above you posted a link to the Chinese HTC One forums. From what I can gather they have already rooted it and have Roms available. Maybe your wife can help you out with understanding it. I can't repost the link because my post count is too low but it is the bbs gfan URL above.

The HTC store is absolutely useless. There are so many things that are not available on it. But if you bought this phone in China, then you have no choice as the Play Store and any Google services are banned. I had to install a custom tweaked ROM that had google services on it to enable everything again.
Hi there,
I just purchase HTC ONE M7 802W (china unicom version with 2 simcard)
But Since I Need google framework (google appslaystore, map, gmail, google contact etc etc etc more importantly, I live in Indonesia)
Then I guess I need to install the google apps into my HTC one.
The question is:
Is it possible to install the google apps without flashing
Rooted 802w from Shenzhen?
May you let me know if I could buy one from your friend in Shenzhen rooted?
I am very interested.
