I came from WEBOS and ROOTING a device meant typing a string into the device and the Superuser icon will show up.
In and Android device I would like to know what exactly the rooting process is doing. Is it turning on a icon? is it actually creating the icon? is it different for different devices? etc

I've just acquired an Emgeton Consul 3. Its a 7 inch Android ICS device designed in the Czech Republic. I couldn't really find any info on this device on here. How does one go about rooting an unlisted device like this? Where do you start?

I have been doing a bit of research, and I have found out that the Optiums L series are read only (the internal storage). And because they are read-only, I cant push the files onto the device, in other words I cant root the device! This is really freaking me out a bit.

"7. Plug in your phone into your computer via usb cable. 8. It should automatically locate your phone that is plugged in and you can just follow the prompts to continue. 9. Done! You are rooted and have a custom recovery image!"

View 2 Replies View RelatedI want to install Cyanogenmod and root my Nexus 7 2013, but I don't know what I should do to backup.
I previously tried to root and install CM on my Motorola Atrix HD on AT&T and successfully rooted it, unlocked the bootloader, and installed Clockwork Mod. I made sure to click backup and proceeded to delete the version of Android on the device and install Cyanogenmod. Cyanogenmod did not successfully install and I wanted to restore my device back to it the backup I made. It said that it did it successfully, but the device gets stuck on the AT&T logo when booting up and doesn't go past that.
I don't want to have to go through the same trouble with my Nexus 7 not being able to restore back to a backup in case something goes wrong. I'm using the Nexus Root Toolkit on my PC and will probably use the Cyanogenmod installer for installing CM11 (if there are any drawbacks to using the installer). What should I use to backup my device and how would I restore it back to stock if something goes wrong? And if I have a bricked device, how can I flash it back to stock?
Basically I have an old iPod touch 2g on iOS 4.x and a Nexus 5.

I have 3 Galaxy Player 5 ( YP-G70 with 3 capacitive buttons ), only one of the actually have a working rom that i flashed a while ago.

Is there a way for me to take the Rom and kernel off the working galaxy player so i can install it into the other two ?

View 1 Replies View RelatedI used to be a big IOS jailbreaker. I had been doing it for 4 years, before taking up android just a couple months ago. (and i must say, android is MUCH better). Anyway i know that basically during the jailbreaking process, the software uses an exploit on bootup and injects codes during the signature check on every level to make the idevice think that what it is running is legit, unmodified apple software. Hence why tethered jailbreaks need the original program to bypass iboot, because an exploit has not been found deep enough in the system to work in iboot aswell.
So how does rooting compare? Dont be afraid to explain using big words and in detail.
my tablet was orginally a samsung galaxy GT-P5113, however I rooted it and everything and now it's a 4.3 GT-P5110.

I can't download anything that has to do with samsung and I can't even download the samsung app store.
We have just bought a superpad 8 tablet running ICS 4.0.4 and are having trouble rooting.
z4root is what we have used in the past with older tablets, but it doesn't want to work with this tablet.
Any way to root using adb? I have used this method in the past with a Galaxy Nexus which worked no problem, but this tablet is proving to be stubborn!
What's actually happening is the tablet isn't being recognised by any machine I connect it to. USB debugging is enabled.
To start with it did pop up on my desktop saying install drivers, but now it does not show on any machine, not even in device manager!
ADB shows no devices obviously, but it's strange how it no longer wants to be detected
Is it possible to root without an exploit? I am trying to use fastboot but fastboot devices shows empty. Even the command oem unlock shows "Waiting for device". Heimdahl is not supported for my device i.e. GT-S6312. All the custom ROM installation in the forum shows using a exploit to root the device.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI updated my Galaxy Note GT-N7000 (locked to EE - Orange when I bought it - in the UK) from Android 4.0.4 to 4.1.2 via Kies last week. The update is so awful (terrible battery life and really slow to load basic functions like messaging and contacts) that it has finally tipped me into going for a custom ROM. I haven't done this before, and there is so much information out there that I would just like to make sure I have the right ideas before embarking on the process - I don't want my much-loved Note bricking!
So, my understanding is that there are four steps in the process:
a. Back up data
b. Back up apps and stock ROM
c. Root the phone
d. Install custom ROM
Question 1: Is that right? Question 2: Have I missed anything or added things that are unnecessary? Q3: Have I got the list in the right order?
Next, when it comes to backing up the ROM, there seem to be many programs/apps out there to do the job.
Q4: What are the recommendations for programs to do this based on the criteria of it must be a) intuitive to use, b) reliable, c) put a completely original ROM back if needed, and d) is completely removable itself so that, in the event of it needing to go to be fixed, no-one could tell that I have played with it?
I'm thinking of putting the latest Cyanogenmod ROM on it, because it seems mature, well-documented, and stable.
Q5: Are my thoughts on this accurate? Q6: Are there any ROMs that work better on the GT-N7000 than Cyanogenmod?
