Hello,
I was going to root my desire HD using the viosionary method, but it hangs up at temp-root part.
Then i saw (of course too late) the wanring stated somwhere about this problem.
Is there a way to root when you have the newest update installed ?
Thank you

I'm a new Legend user, have been waiting for the official 2.2 Froyo but it seems so far away. Want to root and flash the Cynogen 6 ROM, but I dont wanna brick my new phone.
1. Is there a chance to brick my phone using the guide from The Unlockr ?
2. After rooting the phone, do i still have the stock HTC ROM (2.1 Eclair) (Kernel 2.6.xxx) and flash it to which rom i want (i this case Cynogen 6) or do i have the a new custom rom ?
3. Best/easiest or safest way to root ? I've heard that Universal androot 1.6.2 should work on Legend, after some tester has comfirmed it on the unlockr site.
Last thing. Some good tips i should know before rooting or some news on Official froyo release. Please feel free to share it.
Welcome aboard friend.
1) The Unlockr method is not working.
2) Search button
3) Method from MoDaCo. That is a softroot.
Cheers.
P/S : Search button is your friend.
What does it means with "soft root" ? thats why im o confuse thanks for the answer
soft root means its only root in memory , you loose once you power off phone
Ignore/delete
hi how are you guys...i just bought this phone and have couple of question..first one...my software version is 2.2 is there anyway i can root the phone anybody have the instruction step by step how to root with the files which i needed...second question is when i go software update from my phone its says i have update for 2.3 gingerbread should i update it from phone or manually do it...any help will be appreciate and please reply soon...
thank you
If you are planning to root and go for custom roms etc then do not update with any official firmware. Head over to the Development forum for all you need to know on rooting, s-off, eng-off etc.
can i use visiionary tool to root or not....do i have downgrade from 2.2 to what....and then root
As mentioned above, go to Development and there you will find detailed stepbystep instructions how to downgrade first and than how to root your phone. Do not install automatic upgrade to 2.3 because it will be harder (not impossible) to root your phone (I learned it hard way after making official upgrade, but my phone is rooted and working well)
Hi,
I bought DEFY+ with Gingerbread 2.3.4 in December 2011. Last week i installed CM7.2 (forgot to take backup of my ROM) and everything is working fine except the Network Signal.
So i've installed Gingerbread 2.3.6 update from MOTOROLA software update site.
However it is not working properly..My phone is too slow and facing wifi connectivity issues (connects &disconnects so often).
Now i would like to flash either Gingerbread 2.3.4 or CM9.But i'm unbale to root my phone. I tried various tools and none of them worked.
Could any one please share a tool to root Motorola defy+ with 2.3.6?
Urgent.......Plzzzzzz......

I downloaded rooted bl7 sbf file and flashed using MOTO ARClite However after completion i didn't see any change in my phone..
The same Gingerbread 2.3.6 with all my apps exists as is..
Go to App's drawer and look for Superuser app. Have it? you phone is rooted.
Now you can install other Rom READ and learn before installing!!!
Root is not possible anymore exploit is patched in the new firmware:crying:
maybe GingerBreak will help?
you need to follow the procedure correctly posted in the link above.
So I'm new to Samsung (switched from HTC One to Nexus 5 (2013) to Galaxy S5 today). I used Chainfire's Odin tool to root (was easy enough), but now I'm getting a notification telling me there is an update, which because my phone is "modified" I can't run. I downloaded the Kies3 application and this is the info I'm getting:
Current firmware version : PDA:NC9 / CSC:NC6 / PHONE:NC9 (DBT)
Latest firmware version : PDA:NCE / CSC:NC7 / PHONE:NCE (DBT)
Can I update or do I run the risk of bricking? Or will I just lose root? Will the root tool work after this upgrade? Anyone have any ideas?
Thanks
A guy on a T-Mobile S5 subforum says he took the update and then rooted with Chainfire afterwards.
He was not rooted prior to the update though.
did it work?
because i had a problem with it

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
I finally bit the bullet and just did it, update went fine using Kies and then I re-rooted and installed custom recovery...everything seems fine. The only thing that blows my mind is the bloatware on this monster..."Android optimizing....429 apps" !!!
Dear gurus,
I'm new to Galaxy family, I have a small question. Provided that I have root access for S5 and using Stock ROM. Am I still able to OTA/Kies update?
The reason I want to root is to get rid of SamSung bloatwares and use custom kernel.
Thanks
No. You have to download firmware/rom updates then flash them to your phone now.
Using the phone for updates after rooting will cause you to lose all root access and then would just cause more problems. As stated before, you'll have to manually apply them once rooted.
Tks you all, I got it!
