So I have been looking around on the web for the past couple of weeks if my Samsung SPH-D700 is able to be rooted with the current firmware and what tools required for my firmware but I cannot locate exact answers to fulfill my curiosity.
My phone information:
Sprint Samsung Epic 4G
Model: SPH-D700
Firmware Version: 2.3.6
Kernel Version: 2.6.35.7
Build Number: GINGERBREAD.EL30
Hardware Version: D700.0.5
-Is it possible to root with my current firmware/settings?
-Do I need to go to a different firmware? If so, how do I downgrade?
-If I can Root, Can I use Super One Click?
--If not, can someone please link me to the files I need to Root...
You do not understand how grateful I will be if I can get these questions answered. Please & Thank you.
You should go on Youtube and look up qbking77. His videos should answer all of your questions

I can remotely root your phone with teamviewer. Google it download and install the all in one and PM the id and password if you'd like.

Google what? Super one click? I can do the teamviewer. Just when we do it...please show me where you are locating the necessary files so I can keep them in my memory for when I need to update, etc.
My apologies for seeming so ignorant, I just haven't been an android user. I've been with Apple since the beginning and now I got my hands on this awesome phone and discovered how amazing android OS actually is.
Also I have checked those videos from qbking77 but they never directly answered my questions. I could never find out if 2.3.6 was rootable.
Thanks and I will get you my teamviewer information soon.
Besides losing all my music and Apps, will I have to retype my sprint account information to get service back on my phone after rooting or all I need is my Google market account info and import my contacts from Google...
I don't know my sprint account information.

You don't loose your music your music is located on your sd card usually.. and your apps you can backup. And you only loose these if you flash a custom ROM. Otherwise if you just want stock rooted you'll keep everything. This won't disable your sprint info and google will sync your contacts if you make sure to sync it prior to flashing a new ROM.
I was really new to all this also... and would kindly take you under my wing and help you understand somethings. whenever your ready and I have time send me your id and password and ill walk you through everything. And explain and give you options along the way.

Sounds good man. I do want to put a ROM on there to get the best performance and battery life from my phone. Also can't I get free tethering after rooting? Just like jailbreaking iPhones?

Don't do anything other than install apps and enjoy looking at content on your Tab. As you find uses for the thing then you may find the need to tweak it in some way. But, many newbies try to put the cart before the horse re: enhancements and end up screwing up something.
oo..ookay!!thnxs

Hello all. Im new again to the world of Android. My last Android phone was the HTC EVO with Sprint. I left Sprint and went to ATT for the iPhone. I have left Apple and came back to Android. I look back and ask myself why I left Android. I don't have an answer for you.
I have a few questions and I apologize if they have been posted before but I cant seem to find a clear answer using search on the forum or on google. Perhaps my means of searching suck. That could be 100% true.
So I have the S4 with ATT MF3 build rooted. I have been looking into getting google wallet so I can use it to pay for my things in the stores. I have seen some methods for the rooted phones but the dates are older and they don't seem to work. I don't know if there is a way for me to get google wallet to work. I would love to know. I have tried one method i found on the internet but nothing seemed to work.
When I open google wallet I get this message: Insufficient Privileges. Insufficient secure element privileges for this system images (release-keys).
I dont know what to do or if there is anything that I can do. Please help me find a method or direct me in a way I can find one that will work.
Thanks for your time in advance.

Questions should go to the q&a section. But you should look in to safestrap and install a custom ROM with Google wallerlt already working.

I have looked for a custom rom but I haven't seem to find anything. Now I could be overlooking from looking to much. I feel that my searching has come up with nothing. I think I have searched to much.

Search "safestrap i337 xda"
Read the "pinned" threads in the General and Q&A sections. In those threads, you will find a list of ROMs that are available as well as a lot of information you need to know.

When I'm using the xda app via phone I don't see pinned threads. So if he is using the xda app instead of web browser he'll have a harder time looking for it if he doesn't know what he's searching.

Then he needs to wait until he has access to a PC or laptop. How is he supposed to get "wallet" on his phone without a PC or laptop anyway?

I flashed Roms without the use of my PC before, using safestrap. Takes awhile to download but it gets the job done. I just flashed mj6 but had to use laptop for that.

On my GS3, all I had to do was edit a couple values in my build.prop with ones from a Nexus. Then install Wallet, let it setup, and after your cards are saved, change back your build.prop.
This process may be different for a GS4. Though I don't see why. It only requires that you have root.
I need help with the whole flashing on my phone so I can get cool stuff... last time I did it I bricked my phone so if you can help thatd be awesome.... my phone is just stabdard rooted... I need the whole menu etc when I do the hard reset thing

It would help to know what firmware you're on. Then we could point you in the right direction.

Read the "pinned" threads in the General and Q & A sections. Make sure you follow the linked posts in those threads for important information you need. After you finish reading them, you should have a good foundation to get you started. Good luck.

Update your profile so people like me who look can see who you are and what you have.you won't have to post what phone model and base/firmware you have every time.

There's plenty of places that you can get started in such as xBeerdroiD's "Ultimate Guide" that you can read to get started. However, as others have stated... posting your phones information such as model, baseband,etc would greatly increase your chance of getting a helpful reply outside of general assumptions.
Been a while since I've gotten into the root game. I'm back into an S4! So what do you guys think are the best apps I should download?? And what do they do?
Thanks in advance!!

Each app is different as are people's tastes in apps. You will have to decide what you need/want. Best app/ROM threads are not really allowed on XDA. You are required to research and find what you should use.

Like what was mentioned, be careful not to ask questions with "best mods/tools/apps/elephants/bananas for the <insert phone model here>". Mods won't like it.
However, these two forums should be able to help you:
1. General
2. App Dev
... and Google of course. Good luck.
Oh okay. Thanks alot guys for the positive feedback. I'll take a look.

If you have to ask this question why did you root in the first place? I ask that in all seriousness. You're risking bricking your device by rooting if you mess something up, why would you take that risk if you're not sure what root does.
pguillory -
The question you should ask is "Do I need root and what would I use it for?"
My easy first answer:
Titanium Backup.
ES File Explorer
(BTW, there really is very little risk bricking it if you use the easy method. Search forum for the thread.)
