Hey all, new to the android phones... have my self a desire z with bell, looking for the best over all root out there, someone suggested i check out this site as they probably have some optimized setups already...
any suggestions for the phone would be amazing
Cheers
Next time, before you post and add to the clutter in these forums, take ONE MINUTE and SEARCH or READ some threads.
There are numerous guides in Android Development that walk you through the root process step by step.

Like gbarayah said all you need to do is use the search button next time, but since this is your first post I'll skip the flaming and point you in the right direction, there are three ways to root your HTC Vision but the safest and most reliable way is to temp root with Rage + Perm root with Gfree, the instructions to do this can be found HERE on the XDA Wiki for the Vision.
i did look, and there is 30 pages of ppl talking about this one or that one or this that this that, and on the phone its a big pita.....
so its not clutter, im asking for a no bs answer to which is the best for a phone to which i use and enjoy the sense ui it has...
also since im new, i figured it would be a nice way to have ppl explain to me what i need to know, with the ability to ask questions and have them answered in MY OWN WAY, vs reading what others have said
thnx for the snotty reply tho ( to the first post)

People are explaining what you need to know, Please refer to the XDA forum rules HERE and look at rule number one. Please don't be too sensitive here, its just there are so many redundant thread in this forum on the same thing.
so your telling me, that when someone is NEW to something, and has ZERO idea on what most of that stuff means in the link provided above, that im not permitted to ask about which ppl suggest, and how to go about making it happen??
wow good to know

What I am telling you is that I have read the majority of threads in this forum and what you asked has been asked at least 50+ times, thats what I mean, If your having an issue with rooting and have searched for an awnser to your problem and can't find an awnser by all means, please post a new thread but I can guarantee all the problems people have ran into with rooting have been solved and the solutions posted. Like I said don't be so sensitive and over dramatic.

I understand how confusing it can be, trying to sift through a ton of threads and posts, reading lingo, terms, and abbreviations that you don't understand. It's like trying to learn something new and the instructions are written in another language.
I can also understand how frustrating it can be to KNOW all this information and have the same basic questions asked all the time when the information is easily available.
You should start by reading THIS, it is an over view of the phone, some step by steps, and links. It will get you started. Also HERE, and HERE.
Personally, I would play with your new phone for a while first. Get used to Android in general, and get to understand your phone. While you are doing that, read those links and then start reading some other threads in the forums. Get hands on first, then start to look deeper into rooting and modifying. The G2/Desire Z is already a great phone. Jumping right into rooting when you are still new to Android is like buying a brand new Mustang and wanting to start modifying it before you ever really drive it. But that's just my opinion. I started with the G1 when it first came out, moved onto the Slide, and now the G2. I didn't root my G1 until after a year when it was pretty much announced that they weren't going to upgrade it. Then the Slide when I got my G2, and I haven't even rooted my G2 yet......I'm still waiting to see the official 2.3 upgrade until I decide to root.
Just be patient, read as much as you can and it will all start to make sense. Play with the phone for a while, THEN decide if you want to take on rooting. It's not the easiest thing in the world to do, but there are plenty of step by step's out there. Good luck.

I apologize for the 'snotty' remarks above, but over the past few months there has been a significant increase in the number of redundant threads opened on these forums. It makes them cluttered and frustrates many users, myself included.
Referring to your post above, think about how many threads would be opened if every new member of the community who was new to Android started their own thread on how to root.
99.5% of the questions that people ask when they are 'new' to Android have already been answered somewhere else. Most of the time, a search and some reading will lead you in the right direction.
I would be more understanding if you had read the wiki or some of the other guides but based on the question you asked in your first post, it didn't appear that you had made the slightest effort to do so. The threads can be a bit overwhelming when you are new, but like someone said earlier, rooting isn't something you should jump straight into if you are not comfortable with your device.
This community is very helpful but make sure you follow the FORUM RULES and do some research before starting your own thread. If you have questions about a specific step in the rooting process, there are other threads that are already open where your question should go.
well ok, so let me ask you this,, i used the method mentioned here
hxxp://theunlockr.com/2010/11/15/universal-android-rooting-method-visionary-method/
and it shows i still have SU permission... but everytime my phone re starts, it opens visionary and says rooting phone...
but the thing is, my phone is snail slow now... and when i go back to the main screen, it takes forever and says loading... then my normal screen shows up... its also taking forever to do simple things, such as open text msg's
any suggestions on this problem?
That's temp rooting, and isn't the same thing as modifying the phone, giving you true root and installing a custom ROM. It's basically just allowing you root access to run SU and other apps that require root access.
I personally think it's great for those who want to use some apps that require root, like "Shoot Me". But it's not true root. I used it on my G2 and found the same things you found, that it slows the phone down. I figure it's because the reason rooted phones are normally faster than original is because of the custom ROMs that you install. It really has nothing to do with root itself, rooting just allows you to run a custom ROM. And it's the ROM that makes the phone faster, usually due to less things running in the background and overclocking the processor.
I still have VISIONary on mine, but I don't have it set to temp root on startup, I only run it if I want to use an app that requires root.
it shows on visionary that you can do a perm root via the software, and i did that, so when the phone restarts, it still shows i have su....
so are you telling me that if i unclick temp root and restart my phone it should be better??
basically i just want to keep the stock rom, or find a better one that still uses sense, as its super usefull for me.... i just wanted to root, so i can use the cpu thing to speed up the phone and scale it down when its in my pocket etc....
so i need help, i ran a stock bencmark and i got almost 1500, now im gettin 1000... which seems to be a huge diff and thats all ive changed was rooting the phone...
suggestions on a great sense rom then?
You are very luck you didn't brick your phone running visionary perm root. Don't try that again, you might not be so lucky ^_^

PermaRoot and TempRoot via VISIONary gives you root access, but it is not the same as rooting and running a custom ROM. Like I said before, the key in making the phone faster is not having root access. Having the phone run faster is all in the ROM you are running. Rooting is just the first step in loading a custom ROM.
I personally have not run any custom ROMs on my G2 yet, because I find that the stock 2.2 runs very fast as it is. However, I find that cm7 on the Slide runs very fast and works great, even though it is still considered an experimental rom. You could run the latest CM6 stable version.
I am personally waiting for the official 2.3 to come out for the G2 before loading a custom ROM, just because I don't see the need to run one yet. The phone runs very fast out of the box.
Let me ask, what are you trying to get out of rooting?
i was just looking to have the ability to speed up the phone a lil bit, have some scaling, since the battery life is horrible, and if there was a nice optimized sense rom out, id look into that...
*Disclaimer -- I just wanted to post this as an information source as people are just now starting to get their North American SGS III's and are eagerly awaiting ROOT and custom ROM access.
UPDATE as of 7/18/2012 -- Chainfire just posted a new version of Triangle Away that appears to work for the US/Canadian SGSIII variants.
Thanks to The Root for calling attention to it and directing folks to Chainfire's Twitter for quick testing (he's leaving for a month holiday) - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1781104
And pop over to Chainfire's thread to grab version 1.70 (or get the donation version on Play if you want to show him some love) - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1494114
With that said, if you are new to the latest line of Samsung Android devices, you should be aware that the latest devices have a Custom Binary Flash Counter built in.
What does that mean?
Well, for reasons still yet unknown, Samsung has built in code that will essentially track every time a user flashes certain unsigned pieces of code to their phone, including but not limited to recovery and kernels.
The general thinking is that Samsung and/or the carrier could take one look at this counter and refuse warranty service since modifying the phone is technically against the TOS. This is the risk.
Why is this important?
Many times the first (and most easily found) ROOT and CWM recovery solutions (if you don't know what CWM is, I highly suggest doing some reading up on this, as it's one of the basics of Sammy SGS ROM flashing) will trigger this counter. And once it's tripped -- it's not exactly easy on some devices to reset this counter.
How do I tell if the counter has been tripped?
It can manifest itself in many ways. For example on the SGS II, there would be a yellow caution sign with a triangle that would show up every time the phone would boot (hence the origin of the name Triangle Away which I mention below). On other devices, you see a counter when going into Download Mode. For example on the Galaxy Tab 2, in download mode there is a screen that mentions if a Custom Binary is loaded and a numbered counter of how many times a non-standard code has been flashed.
But what about Chainfire's Triangle Away and USB Jigs?
First, the USB Jig is an important tool to have since it allows folks to get into Download Mode without using a PC. Early on, users discovered on early versions of the SGS II, the USB Jig also reset the binary counter. However, in newer released bootloaders on the SGS II, as well as newer devices like the Galaxy Note, Tab 2, and SGS III -- Jigs don't reset the counter.
As for Triangle Away -- EDIT (7.18.2012) -- Version 1.70 is now compatible with the US & Canadian versions of the SGS III. Go show Chainfire (the dev) some love!
So what's the solution?
Now there are 2 choices (as of 7/18):
(A) EDIT -- thanks to MrRobinson there is now an way of rooting and adding CWM to the i747 w/o tripping the counter - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1739426
(if devs from the other carriers ask MrRobinson nicely, I'm sure he'd be happy to share what he did to get the root injected since it took a bit of tweaking. The CWM part should be universal);
(B) Or if you have already tripped the counter, as mentioned above, grab version 1.70 of Chainfire's Triangle Away - it now works on the US & Canadian versions.
EDIT: 6/22 - Changed the title to better reflect the post contents.
EDIT: 6/26 - Added appropriate [tag] due to forum combination.
EDIT: 6/28 - New Root w/o tripping counter for i747 linked
EDIT: 7/18 - Chainfire upped Triangle Away v1.70 that resets the counter.
OH NO!!!
Just kidding, most people on this forum really don't care, I'm sure it will be okay, the flash counter isn't the end of the world or even worthy of a long disclaimer from anyone but Samsung themselves.... What's a warranty, anyways? I have SquareTrade on all my previous devices and will try ZAGGshield on the SIII, they're both going to fix anything that happens to it if we're stupid enough not to follow directions by more than qualified devs!

Hahah, my last phone (SGS II) was the first phone that I haven't had to warranty through AT&T (switched out my Cappy 3x, WinMo phones before at least once or twice each) and I'm actually very careful with my phones.
Just like the options -- but you're right, a lot of people will just dive in and go crazy and say hell with it.
I'm on my 3rd Captivate as well, all covered under warranty. I'll be somewhat worried about keeping my SGS3 warranty-able when I get it here in a week or 2.
Definitely useful information, until the dev's get things sorted out and proper hacks in place.

This is going to be a very popular device, so I'm sure it won't be long before we get some talented devs over and this whole issue will become obsolete. They'll figure it out, it'll just take a little time! :good:
Or if you need to replace for warranty, kill the phone completely... like lamp cord to USB port adapter.

Reminds me of the old "lighting storm" trick if you have ever put an old CD in a microwave!
I'm sure 1-2 seconds is more than enough. Most microwaves are 900 Watts + so don't need very much time.Also don't include the battery when you microwave it.

Look man I know you are trying to warn people by posting this everywhere... But a couple of things...
1. This is not close to being development so wrong section
2. Posting once is enough no need to spoonfeed noobs and post it in every thread
3. If they are concerned with warranty they should not be on xda.
Please just calm your horse and post this once in the correct section... Because it seems like u just want people to praise u as a zomg u saved my warranty I love you... Or ur just fishing for thanks or both.

Wrong section or not, thank you for posting this. I am not an android noob but I am a Samsung noob.
Thanks have been given.
Sent from my Axiom MAXX!!
Thanks for the post! I don't know if this is the wrong section or not, but I do appreciate the brief explanation before deciding when to proceed with root. I am not new to Android, but this will be my first Samsung device. Rooting the HTC Desire and Incredible S didn't have considerations such as a flash counter to consider. Hopefully, I'll catch on to the lingo with Samsung rooting when the time comes to give it a try.
I think it fits just fine where it is as I don't usually go to the Q&A or General Discussions (thats what the search function is for). I am not noob to samsung, or galaxy, or android. The dev section is one of the first places I look when checking on any device new or old. I don't even have my phone yet, don't plan on rom'ing for a while but its good to know that a simple root may become an issue. I appreciate the time you took to get this info out there. That's just my ways though.
No worries guys. That was my original intention putting this thread in this particular area.
If one of the forum mods thinks it's better placed in another area they will let me know or move it accordingly. As long as it helps someone it's all good.
With root accomplished on the US variants things are going to get interesting but folks just gotta make sure they research before doing anything. There's already a kernel thread in the Sprint development side that was shut down because unfortunately the kernel hard bricked some phones (I think including the Op's) so one can't be too careful!
Sent from my GT-P3113 using Tapatalk 2
Thanks for the nice explanation, this is my first Samsung phone so I had no clue. Looks like I may hold off on rooting until a fix for this gets found, never know when you may need to make a warranty claim.
Well this has no links to a Rom, mod or kernel. Which means it's going to general.
Is there a FAQ somewhere that comprehensively covers most of what's involved as a part of rooting the Nexus 7? Or rooting any Android device that would cover the N7? I do dev, but am new to Android.
I'm not even referring to the actual rooting process. Info for that's all over the net. My questions are more along the lines of things like:
What exactly does it mean when people say that rooting will erase the drive? Somehow, I think that's probably exaggerated. Does it really all but reformat? Does it leave the OS intact, other than unlocking and rooting and just wipe out the apps I've installed and my settings and data? Or whatever happens.
Do I have to literally reinstall all my apps from Play or wherever? Or can I copy to a computer and just copy it back again after rooting?
If the rooting process deletes all my apps, this has no effect on what Play lists as "My Android Apps," does it?
Given these questions, what's the state of the device right after I finish rooting? Is it display sort of what it was out of the box?
If I need warranty service and unroot, would Google know at a glance that it had ever been rooted? What restores it to its original state? Doesn't unrooting just remove root access and lock the device?
I'm not here to ask about this ROM or that, but why use another ROM? Would that completely replace Jelly Bean? If it does, how to I get back to Jelly Bean?
Does the Nexus Root Toolkit work on Windows XP? (I have that and a Mac. I’m running the Win 8 preview in a Virtual Box VM, but getting it to consistently recognize the N7 has been problematic. On the Mac, the Android file manager tends to drift in and out. It's possible that I have issues with my N7 USB port.)
I realize there are all noob questions, but that's where I am. I'm sure I could come up with plenty more and I'm sure plenty of others have and have had similar questions. But most of the answers I'm finding don't address nuances, they're just black and white, sweeping terms that don't really get where I'm looking to go.
I'd appreciate answers to these questions or pointers to good places to find out without having to wade through dozens of topics hoping to find some piece of what I want to know.
I might be able to answer some of your questions, give me a pm and I would love to answer them (it would be hard to put them all in a post)

Hey all, I've spent a couple hours sifting through these pages to find an answer I cannot see. Or, I'm not reading correctly.
I am currently running Jasmine Rom on my rooted/unlocked OF1 Note 3. After several months of everything working fine but slow here and there, I would like to try one of two things. If anyone has some insight (Google certainly doesn't ) that may or may not help me, I'd very much appreciate you...
1- Is unrooting as lollipo to update to marshmallow a good or bad idea? Why?
2- If good, could you point me to a page that I don't have to read 700 posts to find clear instructions to do so?
3- If bad, I will stick with what I have...BUT, I'd really like to get rid of the bloatware (permanently, if possible). Is this possible? NOTE: I've sifted through countless pages of safe to remove bloat, so I'm asking if there's a way to do this upon fresh rom installation?
4- I love this place. I've rooted many a phone with all of your help. I must say that this note 3 vzw section is a WRECK. How can non-devs possibly sort through all this to find working answers? I'm legit asking, not being a smartass...there's active threads from 1983, and how's a regular Joe who wants to play with his toys too supposed to make sense of the endless this-one-works no-it-doesn't mess?
I'm sincerely seeking some final, working answers to the above questions, any help would be appreciated. Thank you in advance.
There is no "update to marshmallow" AFAIK.
OF1 is Lolipop.
XDA has zero threshold to entry, so the postings here are from both geniuses and idiots. You get to sort through them.
Postings are made while the phones are in play - which is to say while stock firmware is changing constantly, and devs and hackers are making changes, revising their stuff and learning new tricks.
So in addition to info which is correct - and stays correct, there is also information that becomes incorrect with new software... or never was correct in the first place.
So yeah, XDA is a mess. But you are missing the point - that it's a hot mess.
Your expectation of perfectly curated data, 100% correct and up-to-date instructions that minimize your time (at the expense of others, naturally) is unreasonable for this simple reason: it doesn't exist anywhere else.
So... step up or step out.
All this stuff is optional behavior. If you don't have time for it, well... then you don't have time for it.
If you want to try marshmallow on your device flash this rom using TWRP : [ROM][CM13][6.0.1_r43][VZW][OTA-Updates] Temasek's UNOFFICIAL.

Thank you for the reply. I must say, though, there's a clear difference between everything being perfectly organized to my taste and organized for the everyman who doesn't have all day to sort through everything in the forum on a particular phone. Im not demanding anything, nor am I accusing anyone of laziness or ignorance. There's wasn't anything implying anyone should do anything. Rather, a question was posed to understand the processes. I get the point of this forum, and more to the point, I APPRECIATE this forum. But I will say that at some point clean up might be a good idea. That's an opinion, not a demand. It is silly to me how unkempt this PARTICULAR part of XDA is.
That said, I will continue to use it happily, messy, hot, or otherwise, and I appreciate everyone's work on these devices for the everyman to experience the full range of possibilities with our devices.
Thanks for the answers.

TMO S7 Edge Root/Roms?

Questions belong in the Help section, not How-To. I've moved your thread there.

Roms
http://forum.xda-developers.com/tmobile-s7-edge/development
literally on the page i found by googling "tmobile s7 edge xda", i found a guide for rooting, along with two rom threads. and that's without even searching.
Root removes samsungpay permanently and is a bad battery drain last o checked
and also causes the phone to overheat and consistently lag/stutter even after changing kernel peramseters. root is just not worth it on the s7 edge. we need aosp/cm on this thing.
Thx for all the input guys. Much appreciated

Wasn't asking for a root method just Roms. I've been away from root for about 1.5 years when I moved form my G3 to a Note 5 so it's been a while. Had to surrender my Note7 so I was looking around and didn't see much for the edge device and especially the snapdragon model. After some looking I'm seeing more posted in the S7 section but thanks for saying so.
I'm in the same boat, waiting to receive a S7 Edge. I can't believe the state of root with this phone, I mean the Note 7 has root and it doesn't really lag , stutter or effect battery. (it can blow up though!)
Anyone try the 2 roms? Do they help bring it back to normal?

actually, it says in your topic name and first post that you are looking for a root method and roms. both of which are found on the phone's XDA page without searching. also, you keep saying you were "looking around" and didn't find anything but literally all the information you need is in the guides section, which is where you should always start when you have extremely basic questions like this.

Always someone lurking in the rafters waiting for the highlight of their day, which seems to be repetitive condescension disguised in the form of a response to a question, whether it's been asked and answered already or simply something they've decided is beneath them to read or simply just pass over (and yet not so much so that they can't pop in to dispense that oh so productive and about as necessary as the offending inquiry itself complimentary condescension) Not passing judgment on said question itself, since it doesn't bother me either way. XDA has been a complete congestion zone of information for several years now and I've seen bigger offenses handled with much more patience and maturity than this one (by those who were posting in threads for cheaper phones in need of much more help than this one js). Instead of repeating your amazing accomplishments in the area of Googling (which is always my first stop, unfortunately my next is almost always XDA where the Mods are Gods and everyone thinks they're too cool to pass along some of that precious wisdom they were clearly so preoccupied with acquiring they didn't have time to brush up on some proper grammar. Or punctuation. Maybe even a quick refresher course on basic manners, a better attitude and some other fundamental social etiquette) :fingers-crossed: ok, ok, ok for the sake of not appearing to be "bullying" or "targeting" anyone in particular...and because this unnecessary rant just ate up my Red Bull and cigarette break time, the time for my digression has arrived :angel: Yfw kiddies. Now play nice or I'll come back and taunt you a second time. Because your father was a hamster and your mother smelt of elderberries NOW HUG EACH OTHER!

Lol I agree with you... I think people get tired of answering the same questions though. Especially when the answer is like 2 posts down lol.
Tmo S7 Edge
Hi there. I have 4 Tmo S7 Edge running ECHO Universal G935 Rom. First download the QUALCOMM SNAPDRAGON FILES From MAX on HIGHONANDROID for US SM-G930 and G935. Big thanks to MAX and the DEVELOPERS out there who create these things. Create a folder on your computer for all the files you'll need. Download the flashfire APK file, then ECHO Universal Rom from Verizon S7 Edge Forum. Put on your phone SD card. Watch MAX video if you don't understand, flash the modify tar file, then run superSU, then install flashfire apk. I do this process under 2 minutes, I tried different Roms from Verizon, Sprint and ATT root and unroot many times. Once you get a hang of the process it will come like brushing your tooth and putting on your jacket at the same time. Good ? luck Buddy
