Original from Rogers... Havent installed any ROMs because this problem showed up!

If you can access the recovery image, you can flash any ROM that you want. That Rogers original ROM must not be rooted, so you have not root access.

Ok, so to be able to have root access, i need to flash to a ROM? even when I already did the rooting stuff?
Oh ok. I was scared I wouldnt be able to flash to another ROM cuz this applications were telling me I had no root access even when I rooted already.

But wait, if i flash my Rogers Magic, wont I have bluetooth isues and market issues and all of that?

Depends on the rom new hero roms shouldn't have any BT issues but some have problems with protected apps from the market. But just find a rom you like and read what issues the rom might have and find one there cover your needs.

Thanks a lot for ur help

[Q] is there anyway to root 2.3.3 locked BT

Hi all ,
i remember there was way to root devices with locked bootloader in Nexus S through (fastboot the recovery).
so is this way applicable here in X play 2.3.3 ??
thanks

Simple answer is no. It seems that most rooting methods available do not work atm. Gingerbreak only worked due to a hole being left in the stock fw. 2.3.3 fixed this hole so now we are back where we started. If you want root atm the only way to attain it would be to unlock your bootloader and flash the rooted .img

it is only root matter ... but in general the device performance and battery usage been improved in 2.3.3 as i noticed
any how ... i need the root only to access US market and uninstall some preinstalled apps.
so lets wait for the new root

same here, seem like the 2.3.3 did improve batt alot, maybe is me, but did you notice the phone auto switch to edge data when the batt running low? well, it could be me only...
I cant wait for the root so i can removed the bloatware... is jamming my menu, so i use launcher pro to hide it all.. ah....

It is now possible to get root with 2.3.3 on the Xperia Play with a locked bootloader, via flashtool:

Unless you've got a R800x model then you're stuck on non root and 2.3.2 until the provider ships out an update and then there's still no rooting the phone. Afaik it's verizon that has that model.

You obviously need to do some more research if you think your data will disappear. Just because a method uses Odin, doesn't mean starting from scratch.
Lastly, you posted a question in the General forum rather than the Q&A forum. Come on now.

aah sorry about that .. i didnt realize i was in general .. i had multiple tabs open..and i honestly wanted to post in Q&A.
So as per what you are saying my data should still remain intact.. ??? from what i have done in the past every time i did odin to flash a rom it was loosing data method.. only install from cwm after pushing rom to sd card was the way not to loose.. but its been a while

alright, so it worked.. thanks nikon .. now can someone tell me good internet sharing apps other than pdanet. .. thanks!

Try some from the Play Store.
Since it looks like you want to stay on that leaked version (FC19), you will need to flash CWM and the modded stock kernel. It's in the dev section pages back. You'll have to search for it.
Otherwise the easier method would be to just start over and flash a custom rom. You'd odin CWM, boot to CWM and flash a rom.

[Q] First step to ICS: root or backup EFS?

Hi guys,
This is my first post so go easy. I saw the noob video and yes that's exactly how I feel!
I recently purchased a used unrooted (according to Root Checker) Galaxy S Plus GT-I9001 running Gingerbread 2.3.5 and I've been doing a few hours of research trying to figure out how to upgrade it to ICS.
The most annoying problem I've experienced is problem #5 on http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=723596 (My phone takes forever to get a GPS-fix)
I have no idea whether upgrading the firmware will make a difference but I'd like to try.
I'm following the steps on this tutorial: http://www.theandroidsoul.com/galax...yanogenmod-9-cm9-pretty-good-and-working-rom/
So far so good, I'm just about ready to try flashing it, but then I read that before doing anything I should back up my IMEI, using EFS Pro. But I can't do that because I'd have to root the device first, but I should backup my IMEI before rooting my device ... ???
So:
1. Should I backup my IMEI before upgrading, or should I do something else first?
2. If so, is there a way to do this without rooting? (I doubt it)
3. So doesn't that mean I have to root my device without backing up the IMEI?
I'm confused.
Thanks so much for your insight.

After you root and also have CWM recovery, you should backup your efs, for i9001 you need to use Odin 4.43 with AriesVe.ops ..read this WIKI http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/Samsung_Galaxy_S_Plus/GT-I9001

Friend's Phone help please

you can use an SGS unlock app from google apps to unlock and UGKG3 rooted & CWM kernel to root a i9000M, look under rooters in My Android Collections

[Q] Help with some of the basics (root&unroot)

Ok so i know i am a newbie to this sort of thing but i wanted to wrap my head around everything and also specifically to my phone before i decide to do something and the results are permanent.
Firstly ill start off with saying im a Canadian Virgin Mobile customer and i just got the Galaxy S4 (SGH-i337m).
Ok so i want to root my device but i am confused about some of the basic concepts. I saw the tutorial video posted for my specific phone by the smoking android (link for those who havent seen it: youtube. com/watch?v=cI9r5dEcNo4) and i understand that the rooting process is fairly simple.
What i am confused about though is my options once i am a root user and if i ever chose to revert back to original. Lets say i went ahead and rooted my phone. Will i be able to software update through the updates that virgin sends me? also if i am able to then will i maintain root acess?
my second biggest question is lets say for whatever reason i want to go back to the way my phone is now, with the stock virgin firmware. is this possible? and with no trace of the root before (is this the same as achieving original status instead of a custom one)? i know that you can remove the root and then reset the binary counter but im not too sure how all of this works, its a lot to take in at once.
im just trying to clear things up and yes i am quite new to all this (got my s4 yesterday) but i am a quick learner and im just trying to get a grip on everything.
thanks in advance for bearing with me

ok so i read the threads an i understand a lot more now. It seems to me like i have the ability to easily root and then go back to the stock firmware if i please with no consequences. i just have to flash the with the correct rom [and modem?] to put it back to stock and everything should work fine.
i hope i have this straight

Why modem? is that really necessary, I think you mean kernel.
if you flash back to stock, modem and kernel will be included.
Have you tried this thread also? you do have a i337m
