Hey,
So I got my S2 today and was hoping for some help with rooting it.
I have a T-Mobile UK S2 which came with Kernel 2.6.35.7-I9100XWKDD-CL161513 (Kies tells me I'm running the latest firmware). Now I wanted to install CF-Root so I could install CyanogenMod on my phone but I'm not sure which version to use. From what I gather I should be looking for a DD version of cf-root but there isn't one...
Just moved from a rooted HTC Desire, but using cf-root, Odin etc is all alien to me!
Thanks
EDIT: Wrong forum >_>, can someone move this to Q&A please?
Welcome mate before someone else comes on and maybe flames you it's always recommended to search the forums for any questions you have more often than not you'll find the answer you are looking for, if you still cant then by all means start a thread and people will be happy to help.
Hi all,
I bought my son a Motorola Defy+ which comes with Gingerbread 2.3.5 . Unfortunately it seems that this particular OS version cannot be rooted. So what I am looking for is what would be the process to, if not possible root it, at least install clockworkmod so then I would be able to install different ROMS. Even if the process involve "downgrade" the ROM to something else, I would be fine.
I already have experience rooting and installing CWM on many devices I have owned (Huawei S7, LG P500, Viewsonic GTab, Samsung S II) but for some reason this particular smartphone has been a headache and I am very confused on which would be the correct procedure for what I want to do.
Appreciate your guidance and pacience on this, thanks.

Hi guys!
So I too, like many on this forum started my adventure of rooting and throwing a custom rom on my device, because the grass is always greener on the other side, right?
In my particular case I threw CyanogenMod 11 onto my SM-N9005, and though it took a great many tries I finally did it, but lo'n behold did it bring an ocean of troubles to my device. I believe the whole issue is my phone has a bootloader 4.3, and the CyanogenMod 11 is KitKat 4.4.2. I am not sure if this is what is causing my trouble, but I believe it is. Both my wifi, bluetooth and MMS have all stopped working.
I know this forum is usually great at helping out people, as I experienced in my first thread here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=50821847 ( Big shoutout to Rosli59564 who was being very patient and helpful! )
I've now fooled around trying to fix my wifi, but I've come to accept I simply cannot get it to work, and now wish nothing else but to go back to the stock rom for Note 3, bootloader 4.3 compatible. I really hope there is a kind soul out there, who could point me in direction of it, it'd be so very much appreciated!

To clarify.
I have the international model, SM-N9005
Bootloader is 4.3
I live in Norway, if that has anything to say.
- Double edit -
I am not interested in custom roms or anythign anymore. I just wish to get my device as close to stock as possible. I've found a ton of information about going back to stock rom, but they all talk as if I had 4.4.2 already, and that has me confused, as my bootloader is only 4.3, cheers!
Hello there!
I have a Galaxy Note 3 i9005. I used to have it rooted (towelroot) but I accidentally updated the phone to version 4.4.2 which sadly removed my root. I've had my phone for about a year, and I feel it's time to spice things up with a new rom, but I find myself lost in this whole flashing jungle.
So, my questions are, is it possible for me to safely root & flash my phone? If so, could anyone point me in the right direction? I've tried searching a bunch but it's very hard to find in-depth guides explaining the process in detail. I don't even know if such a guide exists for the Note 3.
I live in Sweden so I don't think the phone has a locked bootloader if that affects anything.
Please help me.

I've rooted several new note 3 with this method..http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-note-3/general/root-root-xxufnf4-stock-firmware-knox-t2840150
I managed to root it with that method! Knox is 0x0, thanks for the pointer man
Now, I'd like to know how to flash a custom rom. I've been looking a lot at different custom roms, however I can't seem to decide which one I want. Besides, I don't even know if I'm able to flash my phone since I'm running Android 4.4.2. All guides takes for granted that you have some knowledge with flashing, which I don't.
Apologizing ahead of time im a complete noob when it comes to rooting have and if it wasnt for the guides that hold my hand through the process i would not have a rooted phone thank you guys so much
So im confused as to what a baseband is the clearest response was from another forum (will not link for fear of getting in trouble) where it is explained as the "radio/reception" of your phone
1. Can this be updated? because i am still on NCG baseband and i see there is NE9 and NIx(i forgot the number) and im not sure what i am missing out on
Im sorry if this info is available im sure it somewhere but i didnt see it in my half hour of searching thank you for any assistance that anyone can provide
