The riskiest possible thing for you to do with your phone is to attempt to upgrade the ROM, particularly to an unofficial release, without reading all the threads about upgrading here and on the other PDA forums. You will also see some of the potential problems and the occasional complexity in recovering from them. After doing that reading, you will have no need to post a question like this. Asking others to summarize all of that information for you is a bit much, and puts you at the disadvantage of not being fully informed.
Hey everyone,
I have the EVO 4g, and I'm getting to the point where I'm starting to consider rooting. The risks are a little scary as I would rather not get pooched and have to pay out the butt if something were to happen to my phone. So.. I'm wondering, should I root?
What are the benefits?
What is the best ROM in your opinion? Best for battery and function (meaning, I don't want to have to turn everything off for 30 hours of battery life). I'm currently using Launcher Pro Plus and I love it. Just wondering what my options are and what the XDA community thinks.
Why root.

Rooting now is very simple, it is no longer a complicated process that will take you 30min. I was in the same mind frame as you before I rooted, but I have to tell you that it was a great thing for me. After seeing the difference between my phone (stock HTC EVO) and my friends rooted EVO (running CM6) I was blown away. Rooting basically gives you complete control to customize you phone. I then rooted my phone and went straight to CM6 (Cyanogen Mod 6). It is fast and has quite a few options that you just cant get without rooting. There are quite a few apps out there that are only available to the rooted phone. I also was not a big fan of sense, or the huge boat load of apps that Sprint had installed on my phone and was able to get rid of them when rooting. The only advice I can really give to you is to explore the XDA Forums, see the benefits of each ROM, and all the words that you dont know, find the definitions for and things will make more sense. There is a lot of nomenclature here. I am currently running Myn's Warm TwoPointTwo RLS1. It is a sense based ROM with a different theme. I hope this was helpful.

Thanks for your response!
I have a couple of questions for you (or anyone else willing to answer):
1) I know rooting voids the warranty, but does unrooting make the warranty functional again? Can they tell that it's been rooted before?
2) I've been reading around and I've seen people simply go to unrevoked on their EVO, then root that way within a few minutes. I've also seen people connect it to their computer, install drivers, etc. Which is best? Are they the same basic principle, but one doesn't take as long?
3) I've been looking at Myn's TPT and I really like it. But I'm wondering how many hours I could get out of the battery using that rom. I'm also wondering what the best way to update that rom (when an update is released) is?
Thanks again! I look forward to getting the ball rolling and getting all the awesome features that my phone should include in the original pricetag!

Rooting with unrevoked is just a simple way of rooting. All the commands are entered for your automatically rather than manually using a comand prompt to flash images etc.
Alright, I did it. Used unrEVOked, and so far so good. I'm sticking with stock 2.2 for now until I can do enough research on quality ROM's.
I do have an additional question though..
I purchased SetCPU, but I've noticed that I can't "overclock" above 998mhz. Why is that? Isn't the processor a 1ghz? I wouldn't really consider that overclocking :-/
How do I get pass that so I can actually overclock it a little?

Only certain kernels allow you to overclock. Most custom ROMs come with custom kernels that allow you to overclock. You can also flash different kernels over a custom ROM. Just make sure that particular kernel is compatible with the ROM you are using.

Wireless tether is enough of a reason to root for me. Try Ava. If you like Sense, you will love Ava. You will notice it is MUCH faster.
Hello people,
First of all I just purchased my Samsung Galaxy S2 two days ago and Ive noticed a delay when talking to people, the delay is around 1 second I'd say.
Im using same simcard as i used on my INQ 3chat mobile so I dont understand whats causing it?
My second question has to do with ROMS, Ive searched around the forum but cant really find what im looking for.
I would like to find a thread where they compare the different ROMS, and pros and cons with leaving touchwiz (which im not even really sure what it is since i never tested a clean android).
Also I would like to know if i root my phone can i easily restore it if I need to send it in to the manufacturer (warranty ofcourse). So they wont know ive rooted it.
Also last q, which is the best way to root your samsung SII phone, im looking for the easiest and most reliable solution here. Because I thought about installing CM7 on my Galaxy S2 but im still not sure whether to do it or not..
thx in advance

>>No thread with in depth comparisons YOU WILL HAVE TO READ THE ROM POSTS .

>>yes flash stock firmware via Odin and reset custom rom counter via USB jig .

>>Chainfires CWM and root is what most use .
Because I thought about installing CM7 on my Galaxy S2 but im still not sure whether to do it or not..
Not yet built for SGS2 CM7 that is .

If anyone got any feedback on the different ROMs please feel free to drop comments, as I cant really see much information about any of them inside their threads.
Hey guys, first of all I want to say what's up since I'm new here and this is my first post.
So, I'm thinking about buying the Nexus Q off eBay since I always liked it very much and was wondering what there is that I can do with it, I know that the only thing that I can do with it now as stock is just YouTube since Google discontinued the support from Google Play. Now, I know you can hack it and stuff but I want to know exactly what there is that I can do with it. Also, I'm a noob when it comes to rooting and flashing roms and stuff like that since I have never done it before so I'll need as much help from you guys as I can get if I decide on buying one of these things. Thanks in advance

Consider it just another AOSP device at this point. Almost anything you can do on your tablet you can find a way to do with your nexus Q. I personally use mine as a Kodi Media server.

Hi guys, i am just wondering if anyone manages to flash the combination firware on a s10plus?
Why exactly do you want to flash a combo firmware on a S10+?

To change the csc of the phone.
of course... theres special way and files needed but i cant share unfortunately since not my files/method..
i also managed to get system privs already.. super easy!
No offense but you are like a teenager teasing a toddler with candy. If root is possible and so many people want it why not share? After we do live in the information age

im sorry? not sure where you saw that it was rooted? I have been working day in and day out looking for exploits to try and root it since it launched.. im talking 100s of hours.. theres no point in releasing something that A. isnt root. and B. that samsung can go and patch before it becomes anything remotely useful.
to add, I have friends n fellow devs i have worked countless hours with for years.. if they share something with me and ask i dont release it then I am not going to burn bridges and go against them, that would be very crappy for someone to do.. we trust eachother and if anything comes of it we work it out the best we can as we have released a high number of things to xda over the years including root on s8 s8+ n8 n9 to name a few so not sure y u r upset..
I was simply showing it is possible and has been done.. i figure its better to kno its possible then to have no hope whatsoever..
rant over.
