Can someone point me into the right direction on how to root my G1 that has official cupcake update thankyou
To be perfectly honest, put on a brave face and go for it. I put off rooting my phone for months and have LITERALLY just done it. I have successfully installed a new radio and an RC33 build of android. I'm still lagging behind the game but it's a huge step up. Spend hours reading these forums specifically http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=442480 that link. Follow the directions to a T and you should be good. What's with the mods in your sig if you don't know how to root? Again I'm brand new at this.

Also, it doesn't matter what version you start off with, the rooting process is the same...downgrade to RC29, and go from there.

Hey guys,
I've been searching around but can't quite figure out what to do here. I rooted my phone RIGHT after I got it. I think I installed some sort of update.zip cyanogen made for it. I can't remember what all I did, but I want this latest update. I see that there is a cyanogen mod but I can't find any clear instructions for my situation. There is a radio update and a normal update. I remember from my G1/Sense UI days that you don't mess around with those, so how do I proceed?
Thanks.
Never mind, got it. The main rooting tutorial has it at the end if anyone is looking in the future.
Hello,
So everybody is bummed about not getting the 2.1 update from htc. And also for me waiting untill june is to long. So i've desided to root my Hero and instal the legend-ROM. So far it's clear.
I've done some reading before rooting, so I do not have a question about that. But some hing's are not that clear to me. SO if I root my Hero, i will loose the possibility to accept the OTA update. But is is possible to get the official update anyway, when it comes in June?
And will i lose my rooting indefinitely, or is it possible to get the rooting again after getting the official ROM?
These are the last thing i would like to know before rooting.
Thanks in advance!
You will be able to install the official Rom if not by OTA there will be an RUU on the HTC website.
If you install that you will lose root and chances are never be able to root again.
If you wait like 10 minutes or so after its release there will be pre-rooted version available on this website, so just install one of those.
Awsome! Fast and great reply.
Didn't think of that.
Everyone working on developing here are getting my thanks!
I wil start rooting my hero imidiately!
I'm sure this is somewhere on the forum but I've made a best effort searching/reading for the past hour, and am now more confused. I rooted my incredible a few weeks ago in order to get the tethering feature to work, and this was before the OTA update from VZN came along. everything works, no complaints.
Since 1) I did not get the OTA update, and 2) I eventually would like Froyo, I have a few questions:
1) Do I need the OTA update?
2) Will I need it in order to get VZN's Froyo update whenever that becomes available?
3) If so, should I wait until that announcement is made?
4) If I unroot and get the OTA, can I simply re-root in order to get the tethering feature back?
5) Would I be able re-root by following the same instructions as when I rooted the first time (unrevoked3)?
6) If I unroot/install OTA update/re-root, how do I get VZN's Froyo when it is released? I assume I would need to un-root again, and then wait for the update?
7) Am I just as well off unrooting/installing OTA update/re-rooting and getting an unofficial version of Froyo? I am in no rush for froyo and do not want to risk messing up the phone for it.
I assume some of these questions are answered on the forums but like I said, the instructions I found on various threads seemed incomplete. Would greatly appreciate answers/links to answers for any of the questions.
Thanks
if your happy with the way the your phone is right now than just wait till the official update comes out.
You'll likely be told the update is available on your phone, but if you want root, you won't want to apply that right away.
Hopefully some magic like Evo update is done for us... the Evo update has already been rooted and pulled apart.
Thanks binny and k_flan... So I'll just wait for VZN. Can I install the VZN update (Froyo) directly or would I have to un-root first? No way to know this I suppose, but will the VZN Froyo allow wireless tether or will I have to pay extra for the feature?
My plan
My plan at this point is to wait for the OTA and then for unrEVOked to see if they can root it. If they can, I will RUU back to a stock rom, and apply the official update. This will guarantee [1] VZW to handle if I brick, and [2] that I am running the real radio and the real 2.2 (instead of the buggy beta which is making the rounds).
If they can't then the decision gets harder. I suspect that my desire for the 2.2 will outweigh my need to still be rooted.
What I know i WONT do is jump through these hoops just to install a beta radio/OS combo. If the radio wasn't at issue, it would be a different story.
np OP. You won't want to install the VZW update, it will likely not work with unrevoked's reflash tool.
I also have to correct what I said earlier, it doesn't appear it is the final build that was rooted for the Evo, but the radio was pulled from the final build and used with a rom.... Either way, it seems they've got the official radio (at least, that's how it looks for now), hopefully that happens for us, and official radio img.
Fair enough. still getting up to speed on terminology.... i assume reflash means un-root - is there any way to reset the phone to be able to get the VZ update/froyo?
I'm looking to buy a note 4 now that custom roms and perm root has been achieved. I already know to make sure the android version is no more then 5.1.1, but one thing was throwing me off in reading up on this.
Some guides mention to "make sure the CID starts with 15". Others don't. I may be entirely wrong here, because I don't know what CID stands for, or what it is, but I'm getting the impression that CID 15 is a software number for the developers model of the phone. I've also read it's possible to convert the note 4 into thinking it is a developers model of the phone. So that would mean I don't need to worry about buying a model that's already CID 15, because it will be taken care of later. Is this correct?
My questions are....
How do I prevent my phone from starting up, and immediately downloading 6.0 or 6.1 or whatever the latest update is, before I root? How do I block those updates without root?
Whats the best newb friendly guide on this forum for going from day 1 bought, to custom roms and perm root? Basically an "everything at once" guide. Assuming I don't even have the phone yet, don't have temp root, haven't changed the CID yet, ect ect ect. I want to start reading these guides so I can get myself familiar with the process.
I read either here or on reddit that kingroot puts spyware on the phone. Is this true?
Anyone know a good place to buy the note 4? I'd be looking for the verizon version.
Anything I should know that I don't even know to ask about? My last (current) phone is on it's dieing legs. It's an HTC thunderbolt from 2011. I was running android 2.2. Yes, I know. It's old. I haven't experienced a post 2.2 android OS, so this is going to be basically 5 years worth of "HOLY **** LOOK WHAT THEY ADDED!!!" moment for me.
What are the differences between different model numbers. I keep seeing (SM-N910V) in the videos I've been watching, but I have no context as to if that's good, or bad, or what it means.
Will this fast charging thing work with ROMS?
I recently decided to completely start fresh with my rooted Note 4 (I have a N910H - Exynos). I factory reset, wiped, then downloaded the latest firmware from Sammobile. I thought I just go completely stock.
After flashing through ODIN I was on MM 6.0.1, stock.
Then I wanted to root. It was easy, so I don't think to have to worry about updates or anything, it is easy to root, whatever version (AFAIK for the Exynos versions)
