Hi all
First of all i want to root my mom`s s3 mini cause she wants her phone network free and that`s all.
Can i root it if it`s not network free, if yes is there a way to root without increasing cbc, and if i can root it and there is a way without increasing cbc the phone will be network free ?
Thanks in advance,
Robert

you can root your device easly (search development forum) but it wont turn your device network free, you will only have root access in some apps

Follow the tutorial at the top of this section. Stock 2 Cyanogen. Do it word for word, keystroke for keystroke and you will be good to go.

Without a data plan I don't think it's possible once you follow the any of the guides to downgrade to gain root you'll be required to sign into you're google account over a data plan before you can complete the other steps necessary to get root or set up your wifi connection at that matter. Unless the friend you got your phone from previously rooted the phone and left a HardSPL or Engineering SPL on the phone, I wouldn't recommend it.
DATA

SGS phones can be unlocked very easily and free.
First get root (if you don't already have it) and then start reading this:

This is the safest way AFAIK.

Firstly you will need to enable side-loading applications (that is, enable installation of non-market applications). You find this in Settings > Applications > Development (from memory - it's something like that).
Then you will need to install z4root, probably by clicking on the .apk file you downloaded. After that, it will appear as a program in your launcher. Run it, and click the button to root your phone. There have been reports of it not working on 2.2.1 firmware, but on 2.2 you should be fine.
Once z4root has done its thing, you should be able to install the unlocker, and run that one too. Sorry, I can't help you too much with this one - my phone was unlocked to start with - just make sure you follow the instructions carefully and you should be OK.

I need some serious help guys. I've been trying to unlock my phone for about 2 days and until today I wasn't able to connect to my computer(had the wrong cord). Now I have successfully rooted my phone but am unable to get the apps I need because I can't access the android market place. The reason I can't is because the phone is locked to bell and I purchased it from a friend and now need to unlock it so that I can use it on telus. Really stuck here. I've been using this video as a guide but once the galaxy unlock apps show up, I am unable to continue because I haven't found a way to get them on my phone!! Please help... many thanks..... I realize now I can't post the link but it is called "Unlock Samsung Galaxy S from stock Android 2.2 Froyo". I found it on this site.
Very confusing here.
Unlocking is not related to the connection on your pc.
So what you have to do.
Root your phone with a kernel (CF root) or another kernel.
Then you will get access to the superuser (root)
Only with that you are able to unlock you phone with a special app.
Access to market you will also get trough wlan. Or you have to load you apk´s directly from you computer to the sgs.
Read the manual if it will not work or read xda.. (kies, usb probklems ect..)
Okay, so I used superoneclick to root my phone. I now have superuser available on my phone now. My real issue is accessing the app that unlocks the phone because I am unable to access the market. The reason I can't access the market is because the phone itself has no data services and is not currently on a network(although it is locked to Bell).
I guess what I need to know is how to load the apk directly from my computer to my phone.. and how do I get the apk's without having a google account connected to the sgs? Thanks for the response
Have you tried to use WiFi?
Yea, I have... I'm unable to access any internet or data through the phone!
Give me your email and i can send you the apk.
But to be honest. I'm sure you will find that on google
sent from my SGS via SamsungTapTalk
Hello All,
I have Gt-N7000 note mobile. I am running JB germany official rom. Suddenly my phone has restore it default imei "0049999010640000" so i can register on any network. Also, the power button problem appeared to me. When i press it for a long press the menu of restart does not pop up instead the phone just power off and if i pressed for a short one, the phone will just turn off the screen so if press it again or the home button, the phone would just open and bypass the lock screen.
Thanks for ur help guys

Try to explain this again.
Can you register on a network?
Or can't?
This IMEI is not a "restored" one. You simply lost your original one. If you did not make and do not have a backup of your /efs then it's lost.
So: was your device rooted? What did you do before "suddenly"?
i really mean suddenly. The phone was OK then it lost its imei. I can not register to my network anymore. the mobile internet is working fine but i can not make any voice calls. The phone was not rooted then but i root it now.
For the EFS folder, i do not have a backup

Workaround 1: disable SIM pin number. After that the network should work
Workaround 2: use an older version of android.policy.jar (from an unofficial developer release from Samsung). In this versions the check for a corrct IMEI seems to be disabled.
I have this problem myself and was lucky to get an upgrade with the so called developer imei. Since then I use the android.policy.jar from this upgrade.
But please try W1 first. If you'll get the network then it is solvable with W2.
If W1 doesn't work then even W2 will fail.

Of course you should try it.
First root your device. Go to Philz kernel thread and download the kernel for your JB version (XXLT4?).
Tomorrow I will connect to my PC in Germany and download the old version from there (right now I'm in Thailand).
Will attach it here.
With a rooted device and a file explorer with root options you can copy it to your device.

Great..thanks alot.
And for the power problems? do u have any opinion?
sorry but it worked on an operator and did not on another. i could not register on my main network using the W1 solution.

Yes, same reason. When I use the other jar this problem disappears too.
I just copied the file from my N7000 and attached it here.
Copy it to /system/framework. Change permissions to rw-r-r.
For this you need a rooted device and something like Total Commander with /system mounted as writeable. And before you do this make a backup of you android.policy.jar.
If you do not understand these things right now: start searching and reading here about root explorer, mounting /system, permissions. There are enough examples and descriptions.
But first: root
hello all,
i have been wondering and searching for quite some time on scenario when you lost/misplaced your rooted phone and want to have piece of mind knowing for sure whoever find it can not access your personal data. is there such an apps/utility/setting that will enable us to do so ? on unrooted phone we have frp lock and google lock. since we rooted our phone those 2 features are no longer able to stop anyone to get into recovery mode and do whatever they want.
i found a topic of twrp password protection https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/software-hacking/twrp-password-protection-thread-t2990816 but is not fruitful according to devs.
any of you have been thinking the same with me ? what did you do ?
many thanks !
