So I am buying a sprint tab tomorrow. I am wondering with the new GB coming will it still gain root? Also is there not many roms for the sprint model? Is honeycomb running on it? What are u sprint guys using for talk and text? What is a good guide for root and roms and where should I start? Please don't flame me for asking. I know I should search but between my job and my 10 month old daughter I hardly have time for sleep. But some how sneek in my OCD lol... I'm just a noob when it comes to the tab. Been rooted from day one on my evo...
So all u kind XDAers chime in
Thanks.

Just saw this recently gaining momentum in the Galaxy S2 Thread, thought of contributing some RootNerd jokes here too as i think we need some laughter on this side of the forums.
Post a funny conclusion to the sentence.
Have fun

My captivate is currently bricked even worst if you have seen my post in captivate q&a i'm seriously thinking about sending it to him....but I am unsure of how it works because I want the unbrickable mod but it says unbrickable mod plus repair idk if that mean he includes any kind of repair
They're fantastic. Trustworthy repair company in my opinion. I bought my jig from their website and got my crappy fixed there as well.

I used them to repair my IMEI. Fast turn around and great service. I mailed it Priority mail on a Friday and had my phone back to me by the following Friday.

I sent my phone to them when it was bricked. I ordered the unbrickable mod plus repair it was only $40 i tested the unbrickable mod when i got it back. It worked just like it says on the order page.
Another +1 here. We had a great experience with them. Sent in two cappys for unbrickable mods and not a problem, great prices and fast service. Cant ask for better in my opinion.

Here's the difference. If the phone is functional and booting, it's just ubm. If it's not booting, it's ubm plus repair. Either way, they do great work. Ubm is the better way to go. No more worries of turning your phone into a paperweight.
Had my cappy done last year. Josh is great I had a corrupt IMEI and asked if I could get UBM +repair and it was no sweat quick turn around and great communication.

I sent my Cappy in last December or early January. It was dead bricked blacked out. sent it in to MTV and for $65.00 Josh, the owner / Tech repaired my phone and did the unbrickable modification, that price included shipping. Josh was great at keeping me updated during the process,and I had my phone in my hand in perfect working order within 5 or 6 days. He's in Texas and I'm in California,so it my be a day or two more or less depending where you are. But, I highly recommend them, without any hesitation.
I worked with him by e-mail on a few issues. He instructions were clear and simple; helped me out in some serious tweaking of my phone.
Unbricked my Galaxy Note
Responsive, quick (within a week) service. I had hard bricked my Note with the wrong bootloader and Josh was able to get it going again. Phone is working great now. Heartily recommend his service.
Glad to hear these reviews guys. I certainly appreciate the honesty...

Hey, the man himself....We r not worthy !!
But for real, appreciate all the time u have put in and hard work u've done and continue to do. You have definetly helped a lot of people. Been a fan for a long time.
does anybody have the address to MTV? i'm trying to calculate cost of shipping from san diego.
---------- Post added at 05:48 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:05 PM ----------
nevermind, i didn't even think that the address would show up at the check out screen.
i bricked my cappy in dec, wrong bootloaderor something. Josh had it back to me in canada in a week and a half and it was running 2.3 not 2.2 and smoother than before. I emailed him for some q's and he got back to me quickly. great guy.
Unfortunately, my experience so far in getting in touch with them has been different than almost every one else's that I have read on these forums and elsewhere.
I am not dissing them - in fact I have great respect for them and have appreciated their informative videos. In fact, it was one of their videos that motivated to try the FFC mod on my development phone (Vibrant). I sent an email to them at the address on their website last Friday and then also sent a PM to Josh on this forum yesterday but have yet to hear back. Hoping to hear back soon so I can move forward with the FFC mod.

Highly recommended
I just used Josh's service very recently. Phone was repaired and back to me within a week.
I sent him my Captivate when the power button crapped out. He fixed it within about a week and it was back fast. I really liked the constant status update messages, so I didn't have to guess what was going on with the phone. I definitely recommend him for fixing a broken Cappy!
I saw this in another thread and I thought it had some great similarities to what we root and rom flashers go through.
Just add your own funny conclusion to "You know you're rooted when...."
Have fun!
Examples:
You know you're rooted when you miss multiple calls from friends and family and they ask why and you tell them that you must have been "in recovery". They don't understand... We DON'T have a drug or addiction problem!"
You know you're rooted when you spend more time on XDA forums than with your family or on Facebook/Twitter.
You know you're rooted when you never have to clear out your sms inbox because it happens everytime you flash a new rom.
You know you're rooted when your wife or girlfriend doesn't understand why you spend so much time "fixing" a brand new phone.
So what's your best "You know you're rooted when...."

You know you're rooted when you tell some random person at the bar who asks how your day was and you say you still dont have 422. They respond with don't you mean 420?
You see that they have an Iphone and glassy eyes and just walk away.
You know you're rooted when: Your brand new phone works less than a 3 year old HTC Hero.
You know your rooted when you have a brand new paperweight on your desk.

Someone who has recently purchased the very same Android handset as you; brags about the quality of features (which are available out-of-the-box), only for you to suddenly realize you have the, "World's Most Snarky & Pretentious Smirk of Empathy" on your face; as if you were pitying a child who can't quite walk, just yet.

You know your rooted when you're not allowed to drive with your significant other in the car because you can't set the phone down yet you are not even texting or talking.
Better yet, they just offer to drive because they already know you are going to be on the phone.

You know you're rooted when you flash a AOSP room and get bricked.
You know you're rooted when you don't have much needed warranty on your month-old phone
You know you're rooted when you get very excited about getting something working, and you talk about rooting so much your friends are starting to understand you.
You know you're rooted when you find yourself explaining what a ROM is to everyone who checks out your phone.
You know you're rooted when people ask you about blink feed and what it looks like while you're running an AOSP rom and have to go through the hassle of explaining why you don't have blink feed.
You know you're rooted when you text friends after they call saying "I can't take your call because my mic doesn't work but we can text"
You know you're rooted when you take a bare copper wire to make a connection to two copper points on a phone because some guy on an XDA post said it would get you "S-OFF" (VIVID, REZOUND..... a few others...)
You know you're rooted when you have never uttered the words "I love iOS".
You know you're rooted when you've resigned yourself to ever getting that one particular thing to work ever again.

Long time xda fan, first time poster. So, I have a bone stock AT&T Galaxy Note 3 N900AUCUEOC1 running lollipop 5.0. For about a year now I've been contemplating rooting it but I'm worried I'm gonna jack my phone up. Besides replacing my lcd screen I haven't done really too much with it. This will be my first attempt at rooting any phone and I wanted to ask a few questions to get some clarification and direction.
First, what currently is the easiest way to root a droid for someone that doesn't speak a lick of tech?
I've read 10 different ways but if anyone would know, its you guys. Does Kingo work with what I have?
What do I need to do prior to root? I.e, what do I need to download?
Also, could you recommend a decent ROM? Whats a good backup app that will actually work?
Lastly, I have a game ive been playing for a couple years and I dont sign in, it recognizes my phone or something, its on my sd card but will i lose it when I wipe my phone? Thanks in advance for your time.

I would never discourage some one from rooting their phone, however, you have chosen a hard place to start. You need to become familiar with odin, and /or safetrap. There are great instructions already posted, but unless you have a working knowledge of Odin, you are going to cause yourself a great deal of headache.
I suggest finding a friend who has done it, and have them walk you through it the first time.
By the way, I have been rooting Android phone since the original Motorola Droid. And I have this one rooted. But I not so easy for people new to the process.
Any way you go, I hope it works great for you!

Thanks for the concern. I used to be pretty smart. Ive watched and read a ton about odin and I guess people just make it look super easy. I've noticed theres a different variation for every model of droid so I gjust need to find the right one and figure out what to do before and after the video stopped. Im just hoping I can find some help here. Thanks again

I'm on here everyday so if you need any help post here or send a message. I don't mind helping and NO, you do not have to donate to me.
