Alright.
Seriously, whats the deal with the Rogers Dream and the normal Dream? I dont get the difference. Please explain some in detail.
The only thing I've been reading for a while is the DRE2100 or something compared to the normal thing.
seriously. What is rooting?
I have a Rogers Dream and I really want to know where to start playing around with it.
Its sad however that I have to look for threads with "Rogers" tagged on it.
previously, I had an HTC Kaiser, and I played around/flashed it a LOT. and I moved on to a Rogers Dream, I've had it for quite a while, just didn't know where to start.
Thanks
Theres a few minor differences between the 2. The main one is the frequency it runs on. But to get you started understanding everything this is what you need to look at.

Alright. I am so. tired of looking up stuff. I'm not going to do anything yet.
I barely get anything.
What is root for?
what is it used for?
I have used Ubuntu and Fedora a couple of times but, seriously, root was just a command really.
After I root. then what?
Also. I was wondering. can Rogers ever be converted into the DREAM100/DREAM110?. i dont know, just wondering. If that was possible, It would make things very simple for people like me.
I believe that dream100/110 are boards so they could never be converted.
Root is basicly in windows terms- the admin, getting root allows you su like the sudo command in linux. Having root allows you to flash custom roms, nandroid backup, themes, allow deeper hardware access, full privs to the kernel processes of the system, allowing apps to sd, allow you to wipe or activate gps from sms, dentonate nuclear warheads, so on and so on
Have I answer the ? Sufficently enough yet
Oh and root on linux is the same thing and not just a command

Since you're a lazy noob (at least to the G1), check the link in my sig that will answer most of your preliminary questions. Also look in the development forum's stickies, as there is A LOT of information for noobs about rooting (how to do it, and what it's good for, etc.) and flashing SPL, Recovery, and ROMs.
^That noob thread should be stickied. lol
So now, I am following instructions.
and I am a bit confused.
I am right now setting up my pc for rooting
http://developer.android.com/guide/developing/device.html
It says
Setting up a Device for Development said:
Step 1.) Declare your application as "debuggable" in your Android Manifest.
In Eclipse, you can do this from the Application tab when viewing the Manifest (on the right side, set Debuggable to true). Otherwise, in the AndroidManifest.xml file, add android:debuggable="true" to the <application> element.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
What exactly does this mean?
Which application.
I have learned that AndroidManifest.xml is used for every application
I have the AndroidSDK on my computer, and I have also installed the usb driver
And when I searched in there, boy I got lots of results for "AndroidManifest.xml"
A little help?
Thanks a lot.

See, while here, I just had a simple question

Right, ok then. You see so many idiotic questions posted on various forums, it's hard to discern if you're looking at another of those.
Maybe you should have mentioned that you've already tried the obvious way. Also, 'didn't work' is kind of devoid of information. Did you get an error message? FC? No Reaction? Success message, but no effect?

Guys, I have the same problem. I used z4root to root my UK Tab. It took about 5 minutes to do the job the first time. Everything worked fine I guess. It installed Superuser and I managed to run the application that needed rooting.
The problem is when I try to unroot, I don't have the "unroot" button on the screen. I am on XXJK5 baseband.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thx!
Hi test the 1.2.2 app of z4root

I have 1.3.0 which roots and un-roots fine on XXJK5
Terminal:
su
mount -o remount,rw -t rfs /dev/block/stl9 /system
rm /system/bin/busybox (Not very useful without root, but some functionality still handy, so up to you)
rm /system/bin/su
exit
Uninstall the Superuser app.
Reboot.
Can't imagine why you'd want to do this unless you're taking it back to the shop.

when ur Tab is rooted, will Samsung allow to update it?
I mean, can they 'see' that and deny any update?

Since when have Samsung issued an update OTA? Everything update they've released has been via SamFirmware for us to update themselves.
But as a general answer, custom roms won't get the popup saying an update is available. But if you do get one, don't do it.

Using SuperOneClick v1.7 on my Tab. Rooted it in USB mode. Also able to unRoot easily in USB mode. Very simple and without any issue.
I will try myself to unroot it simply because a game (Jewels HD for Galaxy Tab) does not work on rooted devices. It provides a message when trying to open it...
And honestly, for an average user, rooting the device doesn't add much in my opinion (perhaps it is just that I didn't see the benefits yet, except for having Titanium to delete everything or extended backup options).

I know these are old posts but since somebody decided to bump this topic anyway I would just like to say to the OP if he hasnt killed himself by licking a live wire.. You sir are a prize ahole/n00b.
Even a logical person reading your initial post would have assumed you was a idiot who didnt even try to unroot with z4root. Nowhere did you mention you had tried, infact teh way you said it sounded like you didnt even know that you could unroot with z4root.
This is why "n00bs" is a bad name, not because its somebody trying to learn but because of ahole's who are lazy in the way they ask and then get pissed because somebody replies in a non-expected way.
Just have a simple question guys,
If i rooted with any sort of 1 click method, can i still use adb commands later
in my rooted handset, or does it HAVE to run t through the process of adb.
I ask this cause with z4 i dont have to run the RUU
but i wanna make sure i can still use abd later.
ANy help would be awesome
I don't think one has anything to do with the other... you should be able to use adb, if you have it setup properly on your computer and all the right drivers are able to access your phone.
yeah thats what i was thinking!
just making sure from a more knowledgable source, thanks friend.

No you will need a computer to do this. I would not advise modding your device at all if you do not have access to a PC.

Because if something goes sideways, and eventually it will, youl'll have no clue what it did, and how to fix it.
Nexus phones have open source tools, adb and fastboot, to manipulate them, they are very easy and straightforward to use.
I understand that coming from different phones, that only have hacks and tricks to unlock the bootloader and change the recovery, using tools seems obvious, but with a Nexus it's counterproductive, and makes fixing things so much harder.

Thank for that insight. I wanted and took the easy/prepared route for unlocking and root of this phone. I was once familiar with manual way when the N2 was unlocked. I got to re-learn again. My last job made me very anal retentive about following instructions, and I think that made the rootkit easy to use. In 3 days I used it when I got with 5.1.1 and yesterday for 6.0. Today I flash Roms to find the one I like.

Why do people keep saying you need a custom kernel??? BTW, used nexus root toolkit on the K build without problems, no luck on R(never had N) but the tool got updated.... However... I would not be using any thing chainfire Su related sinds it got sold out.

Because at one time it did require a kernel change to get root.

Because you needed a custom boot.img to root 58K too. It will either contain a modified kernel with SELinux set to permissive (I've patched mine by hand, so I know what I'm talking about), or contain an updated sepolicy binary to allow su to work. Also since you said you didn't have red triangle, it means your fstab.shamu was also replaced with one with disabled verity.
So. Don't use rootkits. If you do use rootkits and discover you don't know what's happening, at least please don't keep correcting those who try to help you.

I was hoping that someone would answer this. Flashing files and rooting on Linux is MUUUUCH easier than Windows. Why? No need for special drivers to recognize your device.
Even better, if you try to run a adb/fastboot command without having them installed, Linux will tell you the actual command for you to type and download/install them...all within the command window.
This might sound confusing, but it is really easy and seamless, in my opinion.

Most of what you said depends on your distro.
On Arch you definitely need to add u-dev rules for the phone to be noticed, and if you dont have them installed and you try to run it, it won't tell you how to download.
But.... If you install via a package manager it will be automatically added to your path
Also, I have NEVER downloaded drivers for my phone in windows, and never needed to.
That's good to know. I should've added that I use Ubuntu as my distro, and I love it.
