app called UniversalAndroot
anyone tried?
I duno if I should post link here, there is source code inside, any xperts can look into it?
Actually I would be interested in knowing if something like this exists for the N1. I know all the official HTC w/ Sense phones can be rooted with unrevoked but I always thought the only way to root the N1 was that long involved process (either with or without unlocking the bootloader)
Hello,
I just got my first android phone, X8. I've read through sticky threads about upgrading and various other threads, and I'm just about to install GingerDX (Is that a good choice?).
But I haven't found anything warranty related on X8 forums, and while I did found some stuff on other boards, I'd really like to know specifically about X8.
Basically, I'd like to know if it's possible (and if it's needed) to revert to the currently installed android version to have my warranty honored in case of a non-OS related issue? I'm assuming it's done via xRecovery, but can they tell that something has been done with the OS, and is the process more difficult than upgrade itself? Also, will I be able to revert to the exact OS that was installed on the phone, or just a vanilla 2.1 installation?
P.S. I've seen many Croatia flags under people names on this board, so to those people - since I'm from Croatia : Have you had or heard about experiences related to this issue?
Thank you for reading,
P.
The warranti is void, as you root your phone. But there is SEUS for that. If the phone can flash himself the stock firmware to the phone, you can get your warranty. If not, then hope for that.
You can always flash a backup of your stock ROM via a recovery,and then you can unroot with SuperOneClick.
But If you´ve made other changes in the internal memory, like App2SD, better reflash the latest original 2.1 with SEUS/PCC/Flashtool
BTW:
Yes, GingerDX is a very good choice
Good to hear, that about answered all of my questions.
Thank you both!
Hi, this is noob question about root, its my first android phone and i wonder if root is necessary in my case
as former owner of iphone, i had to jailbreak my phone since apple system is very restricted
Android is more open-minded
i dont want to brick and dont want to spend much time if anything goes wrong
ROOT is it safe? what is its purpose?
Sony has made great stock rom, light and reactive, now with the latest firmware, we got better screen calibration, black navbar...
should i switch to the root or not?
thanks you
It really depends what you want from rooting. Ask yourself, what do you want to mod? Want stock rom? See anything you like from this
Rooting is safe, not unless youre doing it wrong without reading the instructions thoroughly.
Root: granting the users access to system files.
Here is a list of terms you may find helpful.
thanks but i am willing to root my phone but what if anything goes wrong
any backup before installing MODS?

Click to collapse
When I first rooted my Android phone I was the same, why do I want to do this? I kept asking myself. Simple answer I just wanted to explore and get more understanding off what was in my pocket.
Have you unlocked your bootloader? Can it be unlocked? There is a really good site where there are step by step instructions on how to unlock it, it uses fastboot (to my knowledge - sometime since I done one).
Don't want to spend too much time if it goes wrong -- well how longs a piece of string? It will go wrong if you haven't read the proper tutorials don't go in blind, there are backup facilities available to you just find the one thats best suited for what you're doing.
Enjoy
what should i do before rooting like backup?
is that easy to root phone?
Backing up is really for after rooting as you may try various mods or other roms. You can then back up with twrp/cm. Give rooting a go....

So this might be a noob question, or answered elsewhere in the forum, but I can't find my exact answer or my phone. For the record rooting wasn't this difficult when I had my HTC Incredible before joining the Apple side for almost 2 years. Anyways I tried to root and successfully did so via towelroot, but upon trying to install liquid smooth rom (if there's any other rom's that are good on battery/ram please let me know haha) I got the dreaded take this phone to a Verizon store message. Well I flashed back to stock via Odin, but I still want to root my device in order to install some sort of rom that'll be nicer to my battery and would appreciate any help that can be given! Thanks in advance guys!
Did you manage to flash a recovery?
Hi there! I've been using HTC Desire 500 for almost two years, and I've decided to root it, but I want to do it the safest way possible. Also, I'd like to know, in case it gets bricked, how can I reinstall the Android on it through PC.
I've heard of the OneClickRoot way, is it safe? Has anyone tested it yet? I'd want to test it, but I am just scared of loosing my phone (hard bricking it). On TF101 I did hard brick it once and I had no recovery, but for that tablet there is a special application (EasyFlasher) which I used to bring it back to life, so now it's all good. Is there any software similar to it? And is the latest version of Xposed safe or install or there's a special version I should use?
Thank you!
