ive got a unlocked streak running 2.2 not rooted. i was wondering what would be the best rom to install after root? is it worth rooting? can some one please help me with all this? i know this seems like a stupid question but know 1 knew anything at one point haha thanks guy please help me solve this problem of mine x
go to streakdroid.com and look at their guides and faq section..
good place to start... You have about 20 hours of sifting through threads here before you can fully grasp the streak platform from a rom perspective...
which includes
-roms
-basebands
-framework-res.apk
-services.odex
-build.prop
-streakmodrecovery/clockwork recovery
first learn how to fix it before you break it.
nice 1 matey, i did root my streak but then the screen broke so dell sent me a new one and i really dont know wether to root it or not?
rooting is like removing the govenor on a car engine... You bought the puppy why not unleash the fury!

Hi, I just got my Samsung Fascinate today, and I was looking forward to rooting it. It's my first Android device, and I've only used dumbphones until today. I've seen the rooting threads yet still have no clue how to root my phone.
Can anyone please take me step by step (starting with what apps I would need, if any) in order to root my phone successfully? Thank you very much!
i dont post much over here at xda but since iv had my d2 and now gal s iv been here much more so please dont think im a super noob (still a noob) but you really should just play with you STOCK phone for a one or two weeks and get to know it before u go and root it and the endless fun that comes after. i say this more or so because your coming from a "dumb phone" you really should get to know android and all of its fun ins and outs. enjoy your new phone and ur new addiction..prob should have tried heroin first

Well, let the big kids figure out how to remove Bing and make some tools that will make it easier for you to root, give it a week or so and we will have them

i'm so lost.
Someone Else posted a link to a guide with a small update to it's instructions,
The Post is in the same forum as this one topic name is Rooted, page 3, user eleazar123 posted it..

if there is a costom rom for my unit is it possible to root??
Well...
Its not just about your ROM or your carrier.
Motorola Atrix may be incompatible with lots of games and applications due to software & hardware prerequisites.
Here are list of custom Roms for you:

And here is what I suggest you:

How can i root my atrix mb861? Clockworkmod requires rooting first? Any possibilities when rooting brick my phone?
Use search, there are countless threads with guides and explanations.
Rooting is irrelevant for CWM. There is always a chance of bricking your phone.

Perhaps you should keep reading until you learn more about android. You're just at the beginning and seem to be lost. Problems arise after this step.
I can't find the tutorial I used or remember how since it was so long ago... But see if this helps: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S6a0BWquqAc

Okay, I admit, this website indimidates the hell out of me. I'm tech savy and not afraid to mess with things, but the level of new terminology here is staggering.
Anyway, now that you know I'm a wimp: I have a SGP561 Xperia Tablet Z2 from Verizon with Lollipo 5.0.2. I want to root it in order to install custom fonts on Photoshop Touch as I'm living abroad and using my tablet as my main computer while the beast lives back home.
I tried to use the Easy Root Tool but it failed. I assume this is because my firmware is too new and not exploitable as of yet, which means I have to downgrade I believe. I have found some files for flashing (?) but they aren't for the SGP561 specifically - does that matter? All I found were these for Xperia Z2 (not the tablet Z2?)
So, in the easiest language possible, can someone please give a step by step on how to downgrade my SGP561 to a rootable firmware and then flash (?) back to the latest firmware and keep root?
Please, please, please, and thank you.
Bump?
This site is frustrating as hell. Mods are quick to lock noob threads without offering help, and you're not allowed to ask questions in the areas where anyone who knows the friggin answer would ever be anyway! I have a rooted z3V running lollipop, etc, so I'm sort of familiar with the process. But developments had been made where rooting became easier.
I've been wading through endless threads filed with outdated crap trying to figure out how the hell to root my z2 tablet for 3 weeks. None of the way this stuff has been written makes ANY sense.
I'm on 5.02, and want root and dual recovery. Should be simple, right?
I don't even know where to ask the damned question anymore. I've downloaded virus filed $#!+ on my computer, thoroughly screwing it up, TWICE now, only to find I probably didn't even need that file. -Or do I? Download links are so old they don't go anywhere. Can't tell what's what here.
Even this thread ; a WEEK OLD, and no help.

You said it dude. I'm going crazy trying to figure this out. I'm pretty deflated right now and demoralized.
If I ever figure it out, I'll hunt you down and let you know. If you do, please do the same.
Regards.
Seems that you guys are looking for a quick and easy fix, but i dont think that there is one. The method that I used is found in this thread.

I followed those steps in that link. It didn't work for me.
I could not downgrade to 17.1.D.0.437. The device was either in reboot cycle or in the status of in-completed flashed after I flashed the firmware ftf file provided in that post. I had to flash the latest firmware to restore the tablet. I was glad I didn't bricked my tablet.
