[Q] Best method to root 6.2.1 if we have not done it prior

I have not rooted prior to 6.2.1 but really want the android market so now I must root. I have a few questions;
I keep seeing something about having to download root explorer from the amazon market to use the new method, would es file explorer work?
Sorry if I'm way off base on any or all of this, I've never rooted anything
I'm tech savvy so i could do it if i had a definitive list of all the progams needed and preferably a video tut of the process. Im seeing a few different ways so im confused as to which way i need to do it. Could someone please point me in the right direction ? Any help is appreciated. Thanks.

You seem to have the ability to read and write the English language why don't you go over to the thread where this is being discussed and read the information that is offered and make a decision.

There are tons of threads on this very topic as this is a very hot topic...And in each thread it will tell u what u need to root and etc....Just look up how to root 6.2.1
i hope this helps......

Always try searching the forum before asking a question. You will be surprised how many people ask the same questions.
For the time being, look in the Android Development forum, there are ICS custom ROMs for you to try.

Already rooted? Go to the link I posted, post#7. Try and boot into recovery.

Hi everyone,
I'm having DHD with Android 2.3.5 and Sense 3.0, i've bought it a year and a half ago, and I never touched it, so it is unrooted and has it's original (stock) room.
Now I'd like to flash a custom rom to it, I've done a lot of research and found out I need to downgrade my device to be able to root it. Now, I've spent hours looking for a proper guide of how to downgrade the device and root it, but found nothing really.
Can you help me? I've almost given it up :S
Thank you very much in advance whoever helps me!

Many thanks again for your support.
I am not sure how bootloaded would be..? I tried to re-root again I am getting this error. Could you able to find my mistake from here?

ECHO is off.
ECHO is off.
Press any key to continue . . .

I kept getting that on my first ever root attempt. Turns out it was my lead. Make sure it's the original lead. (mine was actually the original but it was faulty, did charge still though) hope this helps.

You need to use AAHK (Advanced Ace Hack Kit). You can no longer find it on XDA.
But if you search google for AAHK you will find their support page, and you can download it from there.
Also mae ksure to read the manual (called the effin' manual). Don't skip a word!!
Also, since you are on 2.3.5 you need to downgrade. Instructions are on the effin manual.

Teichopsia, I can't thank you enough man!! You helped me A LOT with that link
I've done this for the first time ever, and all went the way it should! Running ICS wooooo!
THANKS A MILLION TIMES!

The guide was written by glevitan, thus, he deserves the thanks. All I did was point you in the right direction (and proof-reading that guide about 5 times before it was uploaded ).
From that same link check out post #179, currently it should be the last page.
I'm glad it's all sorted out. Happy flashing.

Well, anyway, thanks to both of you then

[Q] GT-I9502 I9502ZNUAMDI ROOT help

Hello, I'm in China, Beijing with my girlfriend and her mother bought her this lovely Samungs 4 chinaunicom phone. It doesn't come with any google services, and my girlfriend really wishes to use these google services. She wants to root it, but I don't know much about this topic. I was wondering if someone can write a detailed guide or point me in the right direction. I see so many guides for different androids. I was just hoping to know what to do for this model.
Thank you so much everyone!

Hi,I have uploaded some files that wil be used to root the I9502 and flash the recovery.
First, put zip file UPADTE-SuperSU-V1.30.zip and the google apps in your sd card. Reboot your phone to the Download mode.
Extract the two zip files: i9502-csc-root.tar.zip and i9502-cwm-recovery.tar.zip
Then connect your S4 to pc,and open odin. You should choose CSC for i9502-csc-root.tar.md5 ,pda for i9502-cwm-recovery.tar.md5. Start to flash them.
After that,reboot your S4 to CWM. WIPE the data and cache before install UPADTE-SuperSU-V1.30.zip .
At last install your google apps. OK, that's all. Enjoy it.

Need help to unbrick note 4!!

Hey, I'm new to XDA, but I have been searching through the threads to find a way to unbrick my note 4. I have a T-mobile note 4 that I rooted and one day I was on it and it all of a sudden went into boot loop, this happened once before and all I had to do was take the battery out and turned it on and it was fine. The second time it got stuck in boot loop. I have followed a lot of videos on youtube and have tried a lot of things people have said to get out of boot loop. I downloaded odin and got the software specific to my note 4 and put the device in download mode and when I start odin and get it all set up it fails right after. So I wanted to ask for any help specific to my device. My note 4 has Team win recovery and when I go in there is nothing there. Its like everything has been wiped clean. I have tried to reinstall note 4 software multiple times and made sure I have all the drivers. I have a iPhone 7 plus(going to switch back to android) and the note 4 has been sitting in my room for a few months now and I would like to unbrick it so I can use it or do something with it. I know what I have said so far may not be useful, please leave a reply and I will give any other details that you may need. Please help me out, trying to fix the phone and so far have been out of luck. Also I am not the most tech savy when it comes to tech....Thank you to those of you that decide to help out, it will mean a lot

now bootloop

Yup I have tried reinstalling the software with odin but still no luck. Followed a few things on youtube but that didn't work either. I think the problem is that I have team win recovery and have no idea how to get rid of that. I hope someone can chime in. Other wise the note 4 will just still in the corner. Honestly don't have a use for it, but I have a anker external battery for it and the phone will last two days easy. If I fix it ill probably swap sims and use that. Let me know if you find a way to fix the issue... good luck man....!

I'm glad you have your phone working, however it troubles me that you asked for help publicly but will post your fix privately. XDA works as a forum because of everybody sharing. Just keep in mind that someone else could benefit from your fix (or find) without having to contact you. All they have to do is say it worked for them or not and thank you for sharing.

I wasn't asking for him to send me a private message or anything. I just wanted to know if he got it fixed or not before I spent my time writing all the steps out. I didn't feel the need to write out a really long response if he already got his phone fixed. He was the only other person that had the same problem as me. I'll gladly right out all the steps once I get home and get the time.

I think you're missing my point and the purpose of XDA. He's the only one that responded, but they could be 5 more. Your fix may help someone else tomorrow or a month from now. It will be nice in the spirit of sharing (XDA) once you find a fix to post it in case someone else needs it. I personally benefited from the one below and I was about to post it as possible fix.

Okay, so the first thing I did was download the latest version of odin. The problem with my phone was that I accidently completely wiped the phone and the only thing I had on it was TWRP (Team win recovery) and I tried to install the firmware from Sam mobile but for some reason it kept failing. Thats when I finally decided to download some other rom and the link is https://forum.xda-developers.com/no...rom-hyperdrive-n4-rls-otatweaks-lock-t2919441 after downloading that put it in the AP spot and click the box and press start and it should work. If not let me know.... Sorry to get back so late I've been super busy, if you have any questions let me know

Hello everyone,
I'm looking for some help on installing a mod version of the android OS. I'm a complete newb and the amount of information is overwhelming and most posts assume that I know something or another that I don't.
Can someone point me towards a guide built from scratch for new people, everything I see says you must have this installed and that installed with no info where to get them or how to install them
