Hi guys,
Looking to sell my Hero on eBay so I was wondering how I go about unrooting, and restoring the recovery to the original one? It's on AmonRA at the moment.
Thanks in advance!

Back in old days when i had a HTC Wildfire with a few clicks i rooted it and started installing new ROMS on to it
But since i got this New Xperia Play : R800i Build NO. 3.0.1.a.0.146 {UK}
I got no clue how to do anything on it. Let me be honest here... I updated my phone using the option under the settings menu in About my phone and seems to be on 2.3.3 and look all my friends have rooted their phones but i got no clue if its even possible . Mabey im not such a noob or something but i would be really greatfull if anyoen could point me atleast to the right direction. Mabey some helpfull links to help a fellow noob
Is your phone sim locked?

Nope... Well not that i know of, because i got my phone from vodafone and once i inserted a sim card from another operator i made a few calls and i could recieve calls too without any problems.

Mine was from vodafone and wasnt sim locked either. Ok you have two choices for root. You can either unlock your bootloader (there are many downsides and advantages to this so you should research it) or downgrade to 2.3.2, root using gingerbreak then OTA update to latest version. That way you will not loose root while updating.

Seems like ol' Freddy is right after all:

What OTA Update Means? And please can you give some links on how to downgrade and root it please?
And btw if i use the method of downgrading my phone first will i be able to flash custom ROMs?

Im on my phone so i can't really link. Look in the android development section, there is a thread all about rooting 2.3.3 with a locked bootloader. OTA means over the air. Basically thats when you download and install an update using just your phone.

No you need an unlocked bootloader to flash custom roms. But please read the pros and cons of unlocking your bootloader first. And understand what you can and can't do
Sent from my R800i using Tapatalk
Ok mate just wanna say thanks a lot for your help and i really appreciate it. You really helped me out here. also just one more thing i need to know. By the looks of it the only cons in unlocking your bootloader seems to be that you will lose warranty and that your phone or your radio may get bricked which apparently can be fixed with restoring a backed up data using a program named omnius for se which i'm actually working on... however my only other concern is if there are any other disadvantages regarding the unblocking the bootloader that you happned to know of and be kind to share it with me Also just wanna say that i can see many tutorials as you said in the development section and i quite frankly i don't know which one applies to me since i realized one of the tutorials are for models with build number .184 where as mine is 3.0.1.a.0.145 AND I HAVE NO CLUE WHICH TUTORIAL TO FOLLOW. So i would be greatfull if you could lend me link to a right tutorial whenever you get free time on the PC
If all you want is root you can do that with a locked bootloader. You will have to downgrade to 2.3.2 (.184) then root then ota to get the latest firmware rooted. Follow the guide here. Or see this post i made here for easier instuctions on downgrading and rooting.
If you want to flash custom roms then you do need an unlocked bootloader like AndroHero has said. You dont need a specific guide to unlock your bootloader. Just go too the SE bootloader unlocking site (it gives you all the instructions you need) http://unlockbootloader.sonyericsson.com/. Then just flash doomlords kernel (which autoroots) or anything really from the development section (since i think anything can be rooted with one click with an unlocked bootloader) you will then have root and the ability to flash cutom roms.
Oh btw build number .184 = 2.3.2, build number 3.0.1.a.0.145 = 2.3.3 and build number 4.0.a = 2.3.3 (xloud version, the latest update)
+
If you unlock your bootloader OTA, Pc Companion + SEUS are off limits use any of them after unlocking your bootloader and you will brick your phone. Go to the dev section for the latest updates.

I think the intention of this thread is: Are there any Galaxy Note enthusiasts who happen to be developers intending on Rooting it.
Obviously no one has been able to root it yet..

Chainfire or Superoneklick ...
my opinion: superoneclick seems saver to me. saver=no damage.
Sorry, but I can't understand if installin SuperUser app means to unroot the device.
Is it a normal app one can install with a plain OS?

im not sure, but when i understand the theard from superoneclick, there is nothing what can damage the hardware.. the root will work or not.. is that right? and the other question, how to make a save from my device if something goes wrong? i think to get it in the download mode shouldnt be a problem, i have the usb jig from s2 and i will try it out befor start whit root.. but how to get my original rom extracted and if necessary how to restore it?
you cant extract. you have to flash another firmware.
there is one to download but... will odin work? ^^

odin is in the leaked firmware, so should work.. but how to extract the currently rom and how to restore it?
Go to Samsung s2 forums for more info on rooting or else you can point the source code to chainfire i(n his cf-root thread) if he has time he will definately do it. But don't forget to donate him or whoever does it.

There is a thread in the dev section with months of discussion about it if you have any questions. You will find any answers about it there.

I rooted yesterday
Was really easy. Im just a little bit carefull when it comes to rooting a new phone. Soo i always check here before i root stuff.. Mostly phones.
Just dont know how i can install clockwork mod recovery. Its not supported with my phone yet...
And i have bought the app long ago. Ill have to wait. Its very easy and smooth to flash custom room with that app. You dont even need a computer for it.
Anyways. Thanks. I got root now.
..
*bump*
Will the first link in this old thread still work?
http://techglen.com/2013/10/06/root-samsung-galaxy-s4-one-click-versions-guide/
My phone was perfect before. Broke, repaired, and i need CM, and all.
Thinkning about flashing a recovery and go from there. Just reading a bit now.
But, if this still works, then it would be nice.
But now im running.

Dont wanna mess up something, and this bootloader thingy. Dont know if its locked or unlocked. I got this knox app on my samsung bloatware original firmware right now.
Thanks
So I've been getting kind of angry that T-Mobile hasn't updated the phone to KitKat and I tried something on my own. Flashing the MetroPCS KitKat software version on my device via Odin. Guess what? It worked. The only thing was that after it updated all the apps, it installed some MetroPCS bloatware. I don't mind that but this is awesome that I was actually able to install the SGH-T399N software on the SGH-T399. Try it for yourself and let me know how it went for you.

Yeah I'm pretty sure that would brick my phone since that's for the SGH-T399N. I have the SGH-T399. Oh and BTW I know they are both pretty much the same, but if I were to flash that, it would probably screw up.

I bet you can port KK to this if you have a stock rom and metro's stock rom with Kitchen.
I have a stock rom zip here:https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24052804347774930
there's a metro KK stock rom zip you can google it.
I think there's a storage mount file you need for kitchen, I wrote one if you need it just ask (i have it in my linux partition, which I'm not on now).
Oh and always have a backup.

If you don't see enough development for this phone now and don't want to wait, then don't buy it. Don't flash something not made for your phone unless you have a backup.
Other than that the phone has a well balanced spec sheet for the price.
