Hey all...
My friend wants me to root his phone. To make a long story short, I have no idea how to do this because I only have experience with Samsung devices. Can you guys give me a comprehensive step by step guide on how to root & flash, along with some of the most popular roms/kernels?
His device specs:
System version: version.4.1.83.MB860.ATT.EN.US
Model number: MB860
Android version: 2.2.2
Baseband version: N_01.77.15P
Webtop version: OSHWT_U1_4.257.30
Kernel version: 2.6.32.9-00007-g527fe10 [email protected] #1 SMP PREEMPT Mon Apr4 14:54:15 PDT 2011
Build #: OLYFR_U4_1.8.3
Thanks, kvswim

He can use gingerbreak, but make a a back up of your stuff on his SD card because it might wipe it

So i want to root my Galaxy S 2, was planning on using a guide i found on CNET.
But am not sure which insecure kernal i should be using to gain root access and which kernal i should be putting back on afterwards to clear the warning triangle?
Currently my phone is as follows:
Model Number: GT-I9100
Android Version: 2.3.4
Baseband Version: I9100XXKI1
Kernal Version: [email protected] #2
Build Number: GINGERBREAD.XWKI4
Am obviously new to this but want to gain root access and eventually install Darky's ROM.
Hello, I have been looking through many forums for unlocking motorola atrix, but none of them has been working, either due to dead links or not correct version.

Model number:

Android version:
2.3.4

Is there any current topic that I have missed which explains how to unlock this system version?
So far I haven't found any working topic to follow, and if not, is there anyone who have the time to help me try unlocking it?
Thanks in advance.

I've been reading for the past hours, seen dozens of threads but bit confused on how to root my phone. Or actually, what method to follow to root my phone. Could someone point me to the correct thread? I've rooted a phone before but that was my G1, got no experience with Odin.
I have a Dutch Galaxy S2:
GT-I9100
Android version: 4.0.4
Baseband version: I9100XXLQ6
Kernel version: 3.0.15-1056084

EDIT: I'm going for Philz kernel with this stock rom (This firmware is only for International Galaxy S2 GT-I9100) [YOUTUBE][dot][com]watch?annotation_id=annotation_832793&feature=iv&src_vid=n7b_vJtMSMI&v=hCh76gEmFw4.

Get a kernel (siyah or cf-root) that works with your rom. Put the tar file in the PDA section in odin and flash.

As you are on 4.0.4 so dont do any kind of wipe in stock kernel. it might have brickbug.... after installing custom kernel you can do wipe if you want...
Should I use http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=31310851 with XWLPW-DBT ICS 4.0.4 ?

Hi I have been trying to root my Motorola Attrix 4g with not sucess. I cannot find the correct link to root my phone with the Build 4.5.1a-129_oly-145.
System Version: 4.5.145.MB860.ATT.en.US
Model Number: MB860
Android Version: 2.3.6
Baseband version: N_01.77.38P
Webtop version: WT-1.2.0-110_OLY-6
Kernal Version: 2.6.32.9 [email protected] #2
Build Number: 4.5.1A-129_OLY-145
I find links for other Build Numbers but not 4.5.1A-129_OLY-145
Some talk about Preinstall method. Where do I find this for this build?
Thanks for any help you can give me.
Specific build number/version is irrelevant for preinstall method. Been said before.

I whant to do this properly, but I don't know how...
Questions:
1- Is my phone the International version one?
2- The LPG (in bold) is what matters to the CFRoot, or what does matter?
3- The "CF-Root-SGS2_XX_XEO_LPQ-v5.3-CWM5.zip" doesn't fit my phone because of the sgs2 and LPQ?
4- Can you find me a suitable CFRoot?
5- If I put the Siyah insted, what shoul be the version?
6- Do I need to use ODIN with Siyah?
Please answer all of my questions
Sorry if my English isn't the best, im not a native speaker.
I don't know to answer your questions, but if you actually want to upgrade your software you better do it now before you root, because if you upgrade your rooted phone software you will lose the root.
Also the kernel is not weird. That is a stock kernel.
