Hello,
I have a SAMSUNG GALAXY TAB SMT230 and I need some help to install Android 5.0 Lollipop on it.
I have never root a device and I am actually a bit confused because of the many links around and I want to do it properly. Especially because I have not done this before and I am newbie.
What I am looking for is a step by step guide. The device is still like new without any root inside. And I don't know from where starting. I have Windows 7 in my pc.
Any help is really appreciated,
Thank you in advantage,

Hello there!
I have a Galaxy Note 3 i9005. I used to have it rooted (towelroot) but I accidentally updated the phone to version 4.4.2 which sadly removed my root. I've had my phone for about a year, and I feel it's time to spice things up with a new rom, but I find myself lost in this whole flashing jungle.
So, my questions are, is it possible for me to safely root & flash my phone? If so, could anyone point me in the right direction? I've tried searching a bunch but it's very hard to find in-depth guides explaining the process in detail. I don't even know if such a guide exists for the Note 3.
I live in Sweden so I don't think the phone has a locked bootloader if that affects anything.
Please help me.

I've rooted several new note 3 with this method..http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-note-3/general/root-root-xxufnf4-stock-firmware-knox-t2840150
I managed to root it with that method! Knox is 0x0, thanks for the pointer man
Now, I'd like to know how to flash a custom rom. I've been looking a lot at different custom roms, however I can't seem to decide which one I want. Besides, I don't even know if I'm able to flash my phone since I'm running Android 4.4.2. All guides takes for granted that you have some knowledge with flashing, which I don't.
Hi all,
Apologies for the newbie question that I'm sure if I looked hard enough is listed in previous posts!!!
I am a recent convert from iphone.
I always jailbroke my devices so was used to installing jailbreak and cydia etc.
However, moving to android has confused things due to the amount of apparent ways to root my device!!
Essentially, I have an s4 on vodafone UK. I9505
Anyone on voda will appreciate the stupid amount of bloatware and issues (currently IMS framework) etc
I want to root my device so I can install a stock androidOS.
I would like a step by step guide to rooting and installing the OS.
Just links would be fine to sites/programs that have been tried and tested.
I am an android noob so I need some very basic steps.
I have no need (yet) to make major changes to my device and mess around with specific root app etc. I literally just want to install a cleaner, non bloated OS!!
Any help appreciated!!

You'll need to downgrade it to 444. I use boot camp so I can boot into windows 7 just for this reason
Hello,
I hope you are doing well!
I am looking to be pointed in the right direction as someone who is brand new to rooting and has done some research but is still confused by the process.
I am looking to improve the performance of my Samsung Galaxy S 5. I researched a little about rooting and came across Cyanogenmod. Essentially, I'm looking to install it on my phone, however getting from point A, having a basic phone, to point B, having a rooted phone with Cyanogenmod, has been a little trickier than I thought. I am stuck honestly. I apologize for not knowing essentially anything. I stayed up all night trying to figure this out and it seems every website has a different set of instructions and they have their own complexities, for example, many of them are for Windows, and I could not find any for Mac users.
From my understanding, I need to install a custom recovery and use it to flash the Cyanogenmod ROM. This all seems much easier than it looks. To me at least. I came across a flashing tool, Odin, which is only for Windows users.
Basically, is there a guide out there that explains step by step how to flash, install ROMs, install the basic google apps, AND that is Mac friendly?
Thank you for your patience and your help in advance! I really tried to avoid going to forums because I know people get tired and frustrated when new people post questions without researching. I feel I have all the research done, I know what I need to do, I just do not know how. Most guides are dependent on the user having preexisting knowledge about rooting, which I do not have.
Here are my phone specs:
Samsung Galaxy S5 T-Mobile
Model Number: SM-G900T3
Android Version: 6.0.1
Build Number: MMB29.G900T3UVS3GPI1
I want to do the heavy lifting, just please show me the way!
Thanks again!
Hey everyone ! I've looked at countless threads and youtube videos and have learned a lot already but I admit I'm new to the root process. I joined this forum because I'm an android lover and want to unlock the full potential of my phone (delete unwanted apps, run lineageOS, improve battery life, etc.) and I respect you guys being extremely knowledgeable on the subjects.
However my issue is finding a way to root my phone in a "please explain like I'm 5" process without bricking a brand new verizon samsung galaxy s5 900V.
Currently I am running Android 6.0.1 and from my understanding I cannot root my phone because I have a Toshiba CID 11 which means I would have to flash back to lollipop 5.0.1 first. Unfortunately I have yet to find a simplified up to date thread on flashing my firmware back to lollipop and I could definitely use some better guidance on those steps.
Once I figure out how to downgrade my firmware, my next step was going to be to start the process of rooting the device and then possibly update firmware back to marshmallow once I figure out the necessary steps.
If anyone out there can help "dumb down" this process for me and offer some clear, organized steps I would be forever grateful for your kindness. My end goal is to have an encrypted device running lineageOS and superSU along with any other necessary applications involved with rooting and also to remove much of the "bloat" from my device. Any help is appreciated and thank you for your time !
