Hi, I was looking into rooting my phone and I would like to ask a few questions, which I would guess have been asked before...
1. Do some roms come pre-rooted?
2. Do custom roms support OTA updates?
3. How do I unlock my nexus by unlocking the bootloader, and use the stock rom?
ATM I am on 2.3.4 + Locked bootloader, plz help, as I dont really understand a lot of the tutorials on the internet + a lot of them are old
Good place to start

A friend of mine asked me to root his phone for him. I personally have a rooted and ROM'ed Samsung Epic so this is not exactly new to me. My first question is what is the best way to root and ROM this phone? After searching around my head is spinning a bit about this. For my Epic I was able to do a one click root that also installed CWM. After that I was able to use Clockwork to flash new ROM's and kernels.Second the reason he gave me for wanting to root was to be able to have WiFi tethering. Am I going to need to install a custom ROM for his phone or is there an app that will give him this feature once we have his phone rooted? Thanks in advance for all of the help!
Quickest, basic answer...
For Root... [APP]SuperOneClick v2.3.2
For the tethering question, he will have to check out a Rom that offers it as one of the options (most do). Don't ask what Rom is recommended, he will have to make the choice depending on his preferences to the specifics offered in a Rom. There are plenty of choices here... Captivate Android Development
Your right about the ROM so I removed the question. I guess I was looking for some recommended ROM's that were stable and everything worked. Thanks!
I've already accepted the fact, that I bought a wrong phone and i won't be able to install custom roms like lineage os or cyanogenmod, etc. But I want to know why? Here on xda nobody even knows about desire 628, and I have to write in 626's forum.
Same reason there are no roms for the 626. Not a popular phone and no developer interest. Also most if not all 626's sold in the USA are locked down variants with rooting a mixed bag of results. My VZW 626 is rooted but that is the extent of any mods that can be done with it, No roms for it.

You can use kingroot to root it.... Worked for me after several failed attempts.
Okay i have this Galaxy mega 5.8 and I want to update it from 4.2 Jellybean to something newer like 6.0 and up, are there any custom roms for this phone?. I have stock updated phones but i want to use this phone to just practice with. i have the basic rooting done but I dont know what to do after & I dont want to brick it. Anything would help
Check out the section for that phone, and you will get a lot further than asking in the car stereo section: https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-mega/development
So, long story short... Bought a Mi11 ultra from wondamobile, the phone is half in Chinese and I'm 50/50 about keeping the phone, I'm enjoying it but I'm struggling, apparently I'm not as much of a poweruser as I thought I was.
I tried to root an old phone of mine a Samsung S8+ and I absolutely could not do it so I'm worried about messing this one up. Started the unlock process today so I won't be able to do anything for a week but I was wondering if there's anyone that's comfortable with theirs and would maybe do mine for me?
I've seen a few people suggest it can be done remotely, would happily pay to have it sorted out and either an EU or Global Rom flashed to it. Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated too
Iam the one who posted a thread to help install xiaomi.eu rom. I can help you once you are ready through zoon/teamviewer.

I bought mine from Winds and had that mini version of Google, so I know where you're coming from. Why do you want to root? You don't need it for the EU ROM unless you need something that the ROM cannot give you. The EU ROM works on Google pay, banking apps, any widevine L1 requirement like sky go and more.
If you do root, you will need to try to hide it and that's when lots of apps fail safety net. Mine did on sky go, I just could not hide it enough but I didn't really need root, so got rid of it
You are best starting the bootloader unlock now. Nothing will happen until you have used the 1 week wait, 168 hours, then when you do, it will format, so that's the time to install twrp and flash the latest twrp EU ROM and enjoy.

I'll get in touch in 6 days or so then when I get the unlock finished
Is there anything else I'll need to make things smoother or anything I can do for you?

So you think rooting is a bad idea? How are you getting on with the phone now you've got the EU Rom on it? Easy enough?

Absolutely, but why do you need to root? I use the weekly beta version of EU ROM and it's been superb. No issues, all the latest updates as it's based on the Chinese weekly beta ROM but with the best of all versions but no Chinese text or apps.

Time vs benefits. It's an invitation for embedded malware.
Add to that you could easily hard brick it.
