Sorry I know there are probably a million threads on this but, i couldnt really find a simple one..
I don't really want to install a new UI or rom or w.e because im fine with the classic view.. What i really want is just to root the tablet and get android market so i can get the youtube app, skype ect..
What is the newest and best root for the g tablet and i kind of need step by step instructions, if there is a thread on this that is very easy just give link to that also! thanks
Btw. When you root a phone or tablet.. what really changes about it, before installing a new operating system or anything
A simple search will deliver the answer you are seeking

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!

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..
I would just drop a link to it, but Apparently i am not verified and can not post any links :-(
Hello guys, I just bought LG Optimus P500. and I want to remove useless application like Bollywoodji, news and weather, PNR status checker etc. Can anyone help me?

Do you know how to work with android?
If you are noob in this matter please read about android and it's ROM's.
Don't do that if you don't know what you're doing
Cheers
Yes, I'm noob.

+1. Before you get into playing with stuff, you should do some reading.
Just to get you started, you need to get "admin" level access of the phone to delete stuff. For this you need to root the phone. Read about rooting (GOOGLE it up) and if you think you are comfortable with it, just follow this forum and you should get a good idea about how to go about it.
But be warned that you may mess up and the phone might not even start.
Best of luck.
Hey guys, when you're telling someone like "go read" or something, please use the old fashion method and give us a link. It's really hard for Android newbs to understand everything.
The easiest way to root your Optimus One Android 2.2 is to use Z4root
But still, I don't know what to do next..
EDIT:
There's some information: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=855654&highlight=uninstall
And here's how you can do it too: http://jaxov.com/2010/09/how-to-remove-stock-default-android-apps-easily/
After installing z4root.
Install Titanium Backup from the market.
Open z4root, select Temporary Root, run Titanium Bakcup and uninstall the apps you don't wan't!
hi all, i am new to this part of XDA. i am enquiring about the archos 70 250gb tablet i have just bought.
i am used to flashing android ROMS on various android phones and of course the 1st thing i wanted to do after buying my new toy was to root is asap!!
can anyone tell me what is the best root method for the 2.4.1.9 firmware, can i use urukdroid 1.6?
also, is there a way to change the icons on the device? eg i use shorter cut on my android phones to change the icons but cant use shorter cut on the archos as it doesnt work, any ideas?
thanks in advance
Welcome! My first suggestion for root would be check the development page. It is all laid out there. If you don't find it with in a few min use the search. I personally suggest installing the SDE from the archos site. Good luck and happy hacking!

I have this same issue, let me know if you got through
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.
