[Q] Newbie guide for Galaxy S I9000B:

First of all, hello. I am basically a very, VERY huge newbie that just bought an Samsung Galaxy S I9000B and I would like to start to understand specific terms used in this forums (for example, XXJBA ROM, rooting). Can anyone give me a starting guide about this ? I intend to update my phone to android 2.3.3 but I don't know if it's possible (it is a customized one from a Brazilian Carrier called VIVO and if possible I want to remove everything). So I don't know even where to start. Any guides, specific threads, advices, tips, anything to start ?
Thank you,
Amid

Download an app from the market called 'root and me'. It's a great guide for beginners

Okay, thanks. Let me read all those threads and guides than I will be back for more. Thank you again.
BTW, not wanting to rush things but very curious: will I be able to update my phone I9000B to Android 2.3.3 ? Will the B in the end of the model destroy my hopes ? Just a quick answer, don't need to detail it at this point.

Hello again,
I've read the suggested threads and some other material, included the root and me app information. Now I know that the first step to clean my SGS is to root it. The application don't exactly specify which method should I use: SuperOneClick or Z4root. I understand the SuperOneClick is the old method, more dangerous and Z4Root is a new app that does the job but required USB debugging or something like that. So here is the next question (this way, I will be able to create a stick for all newbies, just by tracing my steps): Which method should I use ? Repeating myself, I have a Samsung Galaxy S, Model Number: GT-I9000B, Firmware version 2.2, Vivo Carrier (from Brazil), Baseband Version I9000BBVJJPD, Build number FROYO.VJJPD.
Thank you very much again.

Hi again guys,
No answer yet ? Really ? Am I doing something wrong ? Am I in the wrong forum (I was directed to this forum from androidz.com.br) ? I've tried to find the answers searching other topics but the search function is not very useful in forums. Also, there is no sticky here to help newbies.
The reason I was asking here is because I can't find answers in other places. I don't dare to simply trial and error, which is what I normally do when I have multiple choices, because I am afraid of bricking my phone; It's not that I am lazy to look for answer in other places; I simply can't find them.
Can someone help a newbie or at least point me to an updated guide ?
Thank you very much,
Amid

Got lost on Lumia. Some help to get Info in Order.

Hello there, as the usual disclamer English isn't my native language please excuse any mistake.
Im usually one of those silent users, who learned lot of stuff with my previous android devices (SII, Young, Ace2, and so), today i found myself with a 635 from Movistar Argentina.
I wanted to do a Suggestion post, to help me get in order for newbies the info about Lumia, would be my first usefull post, but as im not an expert i decided to do a question thread. Maybe i can latter make the post to help newbies as me to find a starter info with link
The point is, i found quite messy the info regarding Lumia phones, for example
There are methods to take from W8 to W10, unlocking, reflashing, etc.
In this moment i have like 10 tabs on windows devices trying to understand, and not ask with the "help help me plz" post.
So, the point is.
-At the moment, there are not Specific forums for any Lumia device as for example the S5 forum. (i couldn't find any with the search) we only have this sub forum of W8 phone http://forum.xda-developers.com/windows-phone-8 . And also is not separed on W7 W8 and W10, we have just this one, First error, there ARE sub forums for W7, W8 and W10, but there is a W8 RT and a W8 what is the difference between them?
-If you want an specific forum we should vote here http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1660354
-There are Unlocking methods, flashing and de-branding but not all of them function with al models.
Regarding deeper on this info.
We can change from W8 to W10
We can flash a Custom Windows (i assume?) Operating System
We can de-brand (take out logo for example?)
We can unlock
There are ways to install android on WP (as a professor used to say, if you want to go faster buy a bigger engine don't tunne it, so go buy android )
But i also found a thread about Phone internals, so....this internal are before or after or independant to flashing o unlocking?
¿Did my question get to the point? im trying to do a Dummy guide for new-ones like me to not spend 2 hours looking arround XDA to finish posting the "help me plz" post hehe. I saw in android forums that you can get a "read here all you need" post.
Thanks for the help!!

Can't delete the post.
Found a Q&A post here. Sorry, couldn't find it before. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2467581

(NOT A PROJECT)Samsung Galaxy J7 2017 (SM-J710FN) Root

Hello there guys.Feels nice to come back to XDA Developers again.I really need some help with my phone.
I want it to root it so i can delete all the stupid pre installed and non uninstallable apps samsung offers.
Apparently I have the model with the (F)N in the end,so I dont think the other methods would work in my case.
I have bricked an older device called Lenovo Vibe Z (K910) which had some factory problems and I tried to fix them,so I am a bit afraid of trying the methods given(Magisk,Xposed,etc)
What would you recommend?
Sorry for any misunderstanding,but I dont certainly know where I should have posted that thread.

I don't have this device but, your device information is a bit confusing...
The SM-J710FN was released in April of 2016 as outlined in the following link.
http://www.phonemore.com/samsung-galaxy-j7-2016-sm-j710fn/specs/2747
The 2017 Variant was the SM-J730 (Variants) with no "FN" indicator as outlined in the following link.
http://www.phonemore.com/samsung-galaxy-j7-2017-j7-pro/models/1658
With that stated...
The following area of the forum is specific to the J710 Variants.

This could be contributing to your inability to locate information on your specific device.
This is an innocent mistake that isn't a big deal...
Good Luck!

I'm guessing you're new to Huawei.
Simply not possible to root anymore.

Not entirely correct.
Not if you've already bought one. You can get it rooted, still.

If my post is not entirely correct I'm always happy to be corrected (it's called learning)
I've also got a radical idea, why not answer the OP with the details to their question.
A step by step for other users who might be interested would be great. [emoji1417]
Also, just out of curiosity, why didn't you answer the 1st question i.e. the main reason for the thread, in doing so, you would have killed 2 birds with one answer, whereas now you have answered nothing!?

Well, you must be "new to huawei" yourself, as you've sarcastically said to the OP.
Apologies, I assumed it was shared knowledge since there's pinned threads on various mate 20 boards here on XDA...
Both Funky Huawei and MinistryOfSolutions, right now, can't offer your existing mate 20 pro boot unlock codes, which you referenced above. FunkyHuawei do, however, sell a range of phones including the L29 international dual sim model Pre rooted. So in that sense it's possible to "get" and what I'm trying to ascertain is if you can still "perform" root yourself once said phone is purchased through the. What interests me is getting the actual UNLOCO CODE from the device purchased on FH. They obviously have it. Are they nice and will they share it for flashing newer patches or EMUI 10 (as re rooting is typically required L again, or was on previous devices) or will they hide it like a bunch of pricks?

Hi there!
The OP gathowoow asked a question:
"Help to root LYA-L09 Huawei mate 20 pro"
Do YOU have an answer to this specific question?
If yes, help them by answering THEM, not me I don't want to root My LYA-L09, the OP does want to root their LYA-L09. [emoji6]
This isn't about me, it's about the OP's question:

They might have had it from day 1 when they got the device and accessed to engineering database before mass lockdown of everything. So its not like they have magic trick, its just they were quick to get it, since all thats needed is IMEI of phone that is written on box of device (you don't need to even open it). Once they get out of those phones, all they will probably sell just "exploit rooted" ones, which have root lasting until next system update.

EMUI 10 doesn't have bootloader unlock command anymore (its been removed basically), so its meaningless there. And firmware upgrade to EMUI 10 automatically locks bootloader back, there's no known way around it (at least currently).
Obviously there's also their exploit for root, but its unknown if its working for EMUI 10, and there's no way they will share the method as its directly impacting their "business". Especially since its "remote desktop" root with prices 190$ each. And its lost every update

Hello,
Any news on this matter ? Can you provide links to existing threads. I just finish reading the comments and no one actually answered the question clearly.

Yes it can be rooted on emui9.1 only.
And it is not possible free.
It involves money

Rooting without unlocking bootloader?

Just came here to ask if this was possible. I remember with the us versions of the Samsung this is the way we did it. I don't need custom ROMs or anything. Is this possible?

Hi, that's not possible. If you use Google you'll find all you need to know.

what is the interest of the forum then?

This question has been asked many many times before. Just go to any Samsung ROM topic on XDA or google the topic. Many brands now make it difficult or impossible to root without unlocking the boot loader.
