Mod edit: Thread close as my paranoid side tells me this is free advertisement. If not, thread closed for teh LULZ then.
Cheerio,
Or is it just simply for people who do not know anything about rooting trying to root
why root when you dont know ?
hmm
maybe just maybe
Well, if you are completely technologically illiterate, then paying $35 dollars is nothing compared to paying $500 to replace your device if you ruin it. Don't you agree?
agree brad

This is true; though if they're completely technologically illiterate, I'd wonder why they even want to root it. :highfive:

There is alot of reasons people would want their phone rooted even if they didn't know how to do it. Remove bloatware, speed up the UI, use incompatible apps...and alot more.
I do agree that you should do it yourself to know how to fix it if something goes wrong, but when it comes down to it, it is their phone and they can do with it as they please.
The same could be said for basically anything though. If you can't change your own oil, should you be driving a car?

I agree with this. I cant root my phone (on my own). But I followed someone elses guide & was succesful. My GF has a wildfire S, & has constant problems with lack of memory. She cant root, or even follow a guide, but it needs doing to make the phone usable.
Guess it's a service they are providing but consumers might as well go on YouTube or Google and save yourselves $30. God knows how their software works. Good luck to them trying to explain to someone on how to unlock the HTC One X for example with their software.

Lol you should explain to them that that's not how It works!
Rooting a phone Is a joke IMO, Who would pay $35? I mean If It were flashing ROM's and what not then I somewhat understand that as that's where the brick can happen but can you really brick doing a simple root that takes less then 5 minutes?

Umm no. You have far more of a chance bricking your phone during the root process than flashing a ROM. Rooting can involve unlocking bootloaders, changing bootloaders, using unsecure boot images, flashing unsecure kernels...all of which can brick a phone...even if doen correctly. Flashing a ROM, 99.99999% of the time will not brick your phone.
I think this is only for very noobs

hey i got a g1 and um im going to try to follow a rot video which lets me know to put in a flashrec.apk and a recovery image...so back up then apply imgage??? but one question....do i need to jailbreak my phone before i do the root process????
oh yeh coming from a cupcake build....
Dude go to androidandme.com under hacks and reconsider rooting till you know more.
no such thing as jailbreaking an android device. Thats for Apple only thing, Android doesnt limit you from doing what the device was made to do, only need to root to gain extra functionality.
I agree though, you sounds ill-informed of the risks and consequences of rooting your phone. Do some research, consider how you would feel w/ your G1 being as useful as a 'brick', and make an informed decision.....
please sorry for asking but can you guys help
okay this is what ive done...i use the flash rec apk and then backup and applied the ra recovery img. now i can go to the recovery mode...can i apply any rom not knowing the spl?...also one last question.... if i need to unroot do i do this by appliying the dreamin.img by pressing the end and camera then apply and this should unroot it right????
Have you tried searching or reading the stickies that other members took the time to make so that beginners would find them easier? I bet if you went through these stickies in the first place this thread wouldn't exist.
um for your information no smart ass....this is a q&a right...so thats what im doing right?so if u cant help out by properly answering my question then leave...

Bad Day
I feel naked as a jay bird without my phone. Kinda like the cigarette commercial I would have to re- learn how to do things without my phone
If I loose my phone I'll go suicide and haunt the place afterwards and everyone with a smartphone that passes by that place they will be dead when they're batteries get empty
I must be one of the people that really wouldn't mind. Yes, I do use my phone for a lot of things, but I will live without it. For music, I'd just have to get another device, or a Walkman (hey kids, remember the walkman? not the SE Phone line ;-) ), GPS, there are regular maps, and other stuff like that.
No Gingerbread for Desire!
Rather than starting a new thread...
http://www.zdnet.co.uk/blogs/commun...ead-for-desire-due-to-memory-issues-10022721/
"We're sorry to announce that we've been forced to accept there isn't enough memory to allow us both to bring Gingerbread and keep the HTC Sense experience on the HTC Desire," the team wrote. "We're sincerely sorry for the disappointment that this news may bring to some of you."
So it's ok for users to live with an outdated OS that has Kernel vulnerabilities, leaving them prone to attack vectors that have since been fixed...just as long as HTC can keep foisting software crippling bloatware down peoples throats.
Well done HTC! *Slow hand clap.

I figured as much. I'm kind of hoping they will just repair the screen and send my phone back to me as it was. But it does in the T&C's that they will update software to most recent version before sending the handset back. And I Can't be arsed to go through the hassle of rooting again.

But luckily we have lots of talented devs out there all working for free. And all I hear are freaking rants/hate or whatever they forgot to fix.

Anyone else find xda on chrome unbearable? The ads are so much that I can't even view a page without it redirecting me to google play. It's pretty much unusable. Can't wait for root for this very reason alone.
I'm waiting for the new batch of Notes to arrive and got me wondering if Samsung might or could do something to stop root. It doesn't seem like they could or really have the time to worry about it with all the problems currently. Also, with a bit of a bad stigma, do you think they will sweeten any deals to get people to buy these former bombs. Personally I love that Samsung is taking a hit and getting knocked down a peg. I still love these phone but all of the sudden the 1% rooting community has a little bigger effect on sales.
That tiny routing community... against the fees they can make from Samsung Pay. Think about it.

There are August and September Android security patches that the Note 7 didn't get. Anyone short of a Samsung project engineer that thinks they can answer that question is probably full of it.
I think a lot would have to change to make the kernel leak not work. And yes , I don't think Samsung will care about us tweakers still but I still like war ching Samsung squirm just a little.

No I haven't took the update. I'll let somebody else be brave and try that one. Hopefully jovy puts out an updated rom with the new firmware.
The new update is not rootable and you won't be able to go back to PGC if you take the update. If you really want root i advise you to NOT let the rep power on/ setup your phone.....it will likely grab the update and you'll be doomed. Best practice: Do not place sim in device OR connect to wifi Until you have root.

A little extreme lol... The update is 400mb so on LTE that will still take a bit to download, which you have the option to pause for quite a while (this is what I did while I rooted it). You just need to pay attention to the phone.

Tell that to the people that got the update without knowing it....and the others that think their phone shipped already updated because it happened so quickly. I'd rather be safe than sorry....ymmv
***Also "will take a bit to download" ?? ROFL
I see speeds of 25-65 Mbps @ 65Mbps the file takes about 45 seconds to download fyi...

My replacement phone was downloading it real fast, but it let me pause it and then I rooted it before it applied it.

Yup you'll lose Samsung Pay, Secure Folder and SHealth (if you update SHealth after rooting)
