Since the Gingerbread update my VZW Tab has been painfully slow. I did some searching but couldn't find a fix. I'm wondering if I root is there a way that I can fix the issue?
Thanks!
no, try a full reset

What do you mean by full reset?
Full reset - hard reset, google it

Will do. Thanks. Will that take it back to factory settings before Gingerbread?
factory settings for gingerbread
Thank you.

I want to do factory reset on rooted wifi xoom what will happen?
Factory reset deletes /data mostly. Your root files would probably still be in the /system partition. Any modified kernels would still be in place as well.

I don't think the average best buy employee knows the difference between iOS and android. I don't think they'll look too closely.

It won't, so just delete it before you factory reset.

I took the update while being rooted. If you dont save your root, it will remove your root unless you back it up.

This is being discussed in the various update threads. Some swear they were able to update while rooted. However, most note that they lost root after the update. Others, like myself, who have modified ANYTHING after rooting are unable to get the update to run without flashing back to stock.

If I changed build prop can I just change it back and install update. Or do I still have to unroot. Thanks in advance.

Mine failed at 30%.
Turns out I used the mods for tethering. Renaming files allowed it to update.
This is why you NEVER delete those files in the system directory.

No, but updating will remove root access. Just use the same method you used to root in the first place and all will be normal

Looks like I should unpatch my Email apk and try the update again before rooting my phone again.

Not sure about deleting them. I froze a ton of apps in TB, really treading with caution here as without CWM it's going to be PITA to get it going again! This is my work phone and even though I have plenty of other phones that take micro sims I have a lot of special apps I need so doing it (at least during the week LOL) would be a major impediment to me.
If you nix APKs the updater can't find them and aborts. That is what I have read anyway and renaming the original and odex file back worked.
Of course I had to re-root but that was no problem.
I may be stuck with this ROM in the meantime but I positively cannot work without a rooted phone. It would be like riding a motorcycle with square wheels. Ok that may be exaggerating a bit, but you get the idea.

I am unable to run the update as well. I have used ODIN to restore to factory but the update still failed after 30%. I even performed a master reset and wiped all data from the phone. After the reset I ran update and it again failed at 30%. Was hoping someone more senior on the forums would know what the issue may be? I an new to Android, being an iPhone user since the beginning, and cannot figure out why the update is not applying.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.

Hello,
I have a NEVER ROOTED Motorola Droid Razr M XT709
In the end all I want to do is use my SD card to store app stuff, just the data would be acceptable ( entire thing would be best ). I am figuring I need to root my device to be able to do this but before I did I wanted to make sure I was capable of rooting it and UNrooting it as well. Here is a link to a screen shot from my phone with it's basic specs displayed under Settings > About Phone : https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/16564468/Screenshot_2013-11-23-09-44-00.png
So...
Can I move apps or app data to SD without rooting? If so, how? If not...
Can I root? If so, what would be the safest method?
Can I unroot? If so, what is the safest method?
Thanks!

Unfortunately, I can't open your links at work, but I did see your first pic last night and on that version, you would have been able to root. If you took the latest update, then you can't root it.

Not if your bootloader is locked.

So essentially, even if I did a 'hard reset' , I am still boned?

I would assume that you're talking about a factory reset? Yes, you are boned, it will only revert back to the latest OTA, which you just did.
Hello everyone,
I was using my moto x play normally and I was surfing on the internet. Suddenly the device disconnected, I pick up my phone, disabled wifi, and re enable it, since that the device freezes and suddenly rebooted. Showed me a quick animation of moto bootanim and restarted.
When the phone booted up again, the moto shows me ''optimizing apps''. I have no idea what the problem is but it is no the fifth time that the moto did this problem. I have try everything like a hard reset and the provider had replace my battery, but with no results.
I have also filmed my problem if you want to see the video I can send you a link with the URL.
Please is there anyone who can help me.

Is your phone rooted or has unlocked bootloader?
Sent from my XT1562 using Tapatalk
What does rooted and bootloader mean? I have never download some illegal software on my phone.
They're asking if you've unlocked the bootloader by getting the unlock code from Motorola, and then enabling root access.
Have you done a full factory reset or reflashed the firmware using your computer? The former is in the Settings -> Backup and Restore menu. You'll be wiping the phone and resetting all the settings to their defaults, to see if there's an application is crashing your phone.

Take your device to warranty service. It's the best thing to do if your device is unlocked and running stock firmware.

I have the phone already sent to manufacturer and they have replaced the nfc module and the battery but is does not work
no network after 7.1.1 update on xt1562, does anyone had same issue,
i have read other threads , but i am not familiar with such flashing and resetting,
can anyone tell which is safest way to solve this issue,
also please send me links for resetting and flashing stock roms and also the links of tools needed to do this.

Did you try doing a factory reset? If no, maybe you should try doing that before you do any flashing.
nothing changes, i did the factory reset also
