.I want root my XZ with any app (without pc). Please help.
not possible
C6603 ?
I think it would be possible, if you ask me, but you would have to execute all the commands from your phone, by hand.
Very risky though. If you make a mistake you could brick your phone and have to reflash using a pc.
Not recommended!!
Also you would need some knowledge about how android works, before you try anything.
Just use a pc. That's a lot safer and way easier

Actually you need a PC anyway, actual rooting method implies downgrading the kernel, rooting, and upgrading the kernel. You need a PC to down/upgrade the kernel.
Well, you're right, in the case of newest firmware. Older firmware doesn't an need old kernel, so it would be possible.
But for .67 firmware, yes you really need a pc.
Didn't consider that since I'm on unlocked bootloader, so don't need difficult rooting processes

Well, you need a PC to unlock the bootloader and flash rooted kernels, and actually the last two firmwares need kernel downgrading on locked bootloaders, .244 and .67. Sorry i'm just beeing picky
Ask me how do it.If it will easy for me I do it.

Well he only wants root, so unlocked bootloader isn't the subject here, neither are the rooted kernels.
I thought 244 was rootable without kernel flash, but i believe you in that..

Im on stock rom froyo. Should i start at the "prepping the system" step? Thanks a lot for your help.
Well, this is my opinion, I am not sure what Overcome will say.
The prep is needed because there are some people who are on locked bootloader in froyo.
Also, once rooted you can do Titanium Backup.
That is why it says you need to be rooted first.
But:
- if you don't care about Titanium Backup, no need to root.
- if you have locked bootloader, you won't be able to continue. Unless you root, then unlock the bootloader.
So my suggestion, jump straight to the Odin flash for froyo.
Edit: I never have locked boot loader so I don't know the impact.
the guy on the other thread can't boot after flashing, and think maybe it is due to boot loader locked.
So I retract, best is to follow overcome to the letter if you are on froyo.
Im already rooted with z4 root. What should i do now? What step should i go to?
still from the top.
Froyo, right?
You need to check if your bootloader is locked.
If not locked, and you have all your apps backup,
then just get the GB-stock-safe package,
unzip it and flash using Odin.
will try that later once i'm free thanks
i followed all the steps and managed to run on overcome, but now i can't get any mobile network signal and still can't make calls. help meeee

Oh btw, my tab is not running so smooth, what launcher should i use? Or any tweaks to boost performance?
I received the SGH-i957 for work and they told us not to add any weird apps. What I want to do is remove some the crappy AT&T apps to use less resources. I have rooted an EVO 4g and a HTC Arrive Windows Phone as well as my old HTC Touch Diamond. I have been reading the different threads and I am just curious what you guys think the best method is?
It really doesn't use more resources

If your work said to not mess with apps then I wouldn't really root it.
If you don't care about that, then just follow the rooting thread. I personally like the kernel root method

I will go into more detail I guess. I want to backup how they gave it to me and run it custom, be it remove apps or a new rom. I am worried about some kind of privacy issues. With my HTC Evo 4g I could backup the original rom completely and then uninstall programs or install a new rom.

Flash twrp and make a nandroid backup then do your root process.
Sent from my SGH-I727 using xda premium
Yeah, I am definitely rooting it. It is ungodly slow with only a few programs on it and it keeps using at&t data even though I have removed all widgets and have very few apps installed. I know that know one wants to hear me say this but every time I use Android I dislike it more and more. I am sorry if I offend anyone.

Ok, I got permission from the boss to root and either clean up the stock rom, remove crap, or load a custom rom. So should I just follow the guide in this and if I have to run a custom rom use the on in this thread. Do I have to use the twrp and nandroid backup to make a backup? Or can I restore the stock rom buy using Method 2 after I follow the Method 1 in the root guide?

Is it better to upgrade the ROM software via PCC or OTA is as good ?

I would flash an ftf from the forums or make your own, as the bootloader gets updated. A failure during the OTA or PC companion flash at the moment bootloader is being updated could result in a hardbrick

Or so :good:
I could be wrong but it has mentioned that Flashtool uses the same protocols as PCC and flash tool is a way for those with unlocked bootloaders and modified system to flash stock roms where trying to use PCC would result in failure. The same issues can be experience by both methods and corrected by both (reflash in Flashtool and a replair in PCC). So as far as my understanding goes this statement seems misleading and fear inducing.
Yes, I see your point. And the risk is negligible. I just am not comfortable with bootloader being updated. "OTA".
That's just me though

I was using OTA via home wifi. If you have a stable internet, OTA is more easier.

Just to be clear, this is the forum for the S4 Active which is a different phone than the regular S4. That said, it really depends on which version of the S4 Active you have:
If you have the AT&T version (i537), then you can root, but you cannot install custom recovery due to a locked bootloader (stupid AT&T). You can still install custom ROMs using SafeStrap, but you are limited to TouchWiz based ROMs.
If you have the International version (i9295), then you can root and install custom recovery (the bootloader is unlocked), so you can pretty much install whatever you want.
I hope this helps, check out the Development section of this forum for more information.

if you have a ta backup you can unlock and relock the bootloader without any problem like the first day. even the sony cant realize that.but if you dont want to unlock the bootloader i think iHackers and RomAur are best.fast and stable
but you may have some issues with Xposed Framework (which is really handy) in LB.
but these two i think are the best based on stock roms
for note,I'm using iHackers v4.1 with unlocked bootloader
Ya I have many ta backups. But I shud unlock only after 6th Oct,my lifestyle is too dangerous to ignore warranty (I KNOW SONY CANNOT IF I RELOCK,STILL.. As I have no personal pc..ll buy in Oct)o thanks anyway.. M downloading ihackers 4.1 minimal version now.

If you relock bootloader via TA backup, no one can notice that .means sony cannot realize it and your warranty stands.
and i think,i think,if i'm not wrong, rooting the phone will break the warranty .. ! again i'm saying, i think
Sorry, I just saw the rules..no best' rom thread allowed. I tried to edit but in vein! Sorry...
Hmm...m searching Sony.Co.in about this pal... "Does root void warranty? "
