Hi, you will first need to "root" the phone, basically the process which gives you FULL access to your device, you are then able to install a rom of your choosing. A gtood place to start is in the following article, which describes exactly the process of rooting your handset.

Any questions, just ask.

Does anybody know if the Google Ion version of the phone needs to be rooted? The instructions that came in the box suggest that it's possible to install new roms without any hacking because it's a device intended for developers.

I learn by reading - even in this tread.

Make sure you type the command exactly as written, do not mix back slash and forward slashes, and it will also be case sensitive. If your still having problems power the device down and back up to allow it to remount sd.

thanks, but same problem.
Done step 11. then reboots OK,
tried for Step 12 and keep getting "Access denied", never type anything, only "cut/paste" to avoid possible typing errors.
also tried putting into Fastboot mode (with skateboarders) , this is no use as 'device not found".
any further suggestions? or more simple step-by-step

New to MT4G

Hey all, just recently picked up a used MT4G. Before I do anything to it, I'd like to start from scratch and just reinstall the most recent stock software, make sure anything the previous owner did is cleaned up.
I have no experience with Android and would love if someone could point me in the right direction, perhaps with some directions.
Thanks a ton!

Sounds good to me...where do I start?

The best bet is to do a factory reset. If you haven't done so yet then go to settings then SD and phone storage. Then select Factory data reset.

I was able to get a lot of help from some great people last night. Phone is now rooted, kernel'd and ROM'd!

problem rooting S5369

HI guys, I was looking at this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2085390 about rooting the S5360 (I have a s5369) but when I try to flash the update included in the thread I get an error, screenshot attached (the error says E:Error in /tmp/sideload/package.zip (status 7) Installation aborted)
Any idea?

Try this one instead, otherwise I will edit the updater-script of your package to make it compatible with your model. I think that you will able to install GT-S5360 ROMs on it, but can you give me technical details about your phone ?
Regards

Hi thank you for that. I tried your link but I don't seem to be able to download anything from there, it's just an empty blank page (not sure if the mega protocol isn't supported or what). If you could put it elsewhere I'll download and try it.
What technical details would you like me to give you? ANdroid version etc? GT-S5369, android 2.3.6, kernel 2.6.35.7
Let me know if you need anything else
thank you for your help

Here's an another link ! I want some informations about the processor ect .. Just to check if the specs are the same with the GT-S5360 model. You're welcome !

Thanks mate, unfortunately even that link doesn't work, the page times out (tried yesterday and today with same result in different browsers). As for more details, I downloaded CPU-z and took some screenshots, attached, hopefully that will help you, let me know if you need more:

You will able to install normally GT-S5360 roms, they have the same specs. I joined the root access enable ZIP package. If I helped you, don't hesitate to use the little button below or if you need something else tell me !

thanks for the file, but if that's the same as the one found here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2085390 then I tried it already and my phone doesn't like it, I posted the error message at the beginning of the thread

Oops sorry ! Here's the fixed one.

Brilliant, thanks. The installation of the new file was successful, no errors and now I have superuser, so presumably the phone is now rooted.
Thanks for your help. In terms of android version, do you know where I can find a list of stable versions I can install? I checked cyanogen mod but I couldn't find my model
thanks

Yes, you're now rooted ! Check the GT-S5360 development subforum and you will find a lot of ROMs, but for CyanogenMod, every ported version (7,9,11) has its specific bugs and you will need to choose the one which suits you. If you need any help, just mention me on your post ! Regards.

Fab, thank you very much for all your help, much appreciated.

Thanks for your reply - You've helped me to restore my tablet to working order, I appreciate it. I wasn't aware the 1050 ROM worked.
However, as the 8 inch is a smaller screen - would you happen to know how to change the DPI?
Much appreciate for your help!

Hi i am a newb and need some help?

Hi my name is murdoc, you guys can call me doc.
First i would like to say i appreciate anyone taking the time to read this thread and thank all who choose to participate.
I have been reading for about 12 hours on what it is to root you phone. I am still unsure what to do.
I have been trying to get all the necessary files to root my Samsung Galaxy s7 edge, SM-G935V, Android 7.
I have hit some road blocks and still dont have everything i need. Can someone point me in the right direction via link?
At this impasse i thought it may be easier to downgrade to android 6 and use that particular rooting procedure.
Is there any validity to my assertion? If so can someone point me in the right direction?
Again thank you for your time.
-Doc
