I'm on 2.3.4, unlocked and rooted - but the APNs are all still locked.
Is that supposed to be the case? How do I unlock them?
You know, until you mentioned it, I didn't even realize that they were locked for me too.
How the heck *do* you unlock them? Is root not enough?

Apparently not. I think some of the more in depth root utilities like GladRoot might have done it. But apparently, the preinstall file we use for 2.3.4 doesn't.
Does anyone know how to do this?

You need to use a db editor (sqlite editor). In the telephony.db, make sure that the record that you want to edit freely has "preloaded" field set to false. Now go back to the phone apn settings and notice that the little lock icon shows as unlocked

Hehe, not sure. I never noticed anyone specifically ask for this info, so it never occurred to me to mention it before. It's not something I read, it's just one of those things that I came across as I investigate/mod/tweak my phone

How do take a screen shot on android without root?
You can't. The only way is through the ADK.
Google it.
I think the user above means SDK instead of ADK
Rooting is super easy a monkey can do it.
It shouldn't take you more than 1 minute to do it start to finish.
After you have rooted, download ShootMe from the Market.

This used to work on non rooted phones. What happened? EVO on sprint.
It requires root access to work...prior to the OTA update there was an exploit that allowed it to work on non rooted phones but HTC blocked it
Working great on my Evo. For Evo owners: READ! It requires root. Always has. HTC hole allowed it to work before OTA.

Didn't work with no root on my vibrant, had to root to use it. But it does work on the slide with no root.
not sure how a sim lock works but would rooting and installing a custom rom remove it? preferably just the rooting.
Nope. Unfortunately doesnt work like that

That thread asks the question I've been trying to find out "how does a sim lock survive a flash?" Ie where in the phone is it stored that can be changed with codes but not flashing? But doesn't answer it.

Is rooting the device the only way to get rid of this? Is there a way without root to disable this?
if you are with sprint, if you read the Sprint TOS that you signed when you got the phone it says that rooting will not void your warranty they just ask that u put it back to stock when upgrading or having service done to it. Who has ever went to upgrade their phone and the rep put it in to download mode to check something like that? And when I had my s2 rooted and needed service on the ear piece I just left cm 10 and all my stuff just the way it was and they never said anything to me about it.

I forgot to move my rooted tether app from my home screen and took it for service. The rep looked down, looked up at me, and went to a different screen to work from. Classic.
yeah, when I went to Sprint to have my last phone looked at, the rep asked me point blank if the phone was rooted -- but it was not in an accusatory way, it was more a "I need to know for the purposes of what I'm doing." Did not get the sense from the way she asked that it would have made a bit of difference to her in terms of whether they would still work on the phone.
As an aside, does anyone know what exactly could be causing the alert? It popped up when I was logged onto an airport wifi network, which gives me some concern.

Is it possible for com.tmobile.pr.adapt to force Super SU to grant root access?
I noticed it got access and I dont remember ever allowing it. This happened after using Ti backup to uninstall T-Mo My Account.
I've since uninstalled the ctpa (for short) diagnosticware so the visible and immediate problem is gone.
But I'm afraid I tripped the root notification to T-Mo servers. I'm also scared that Super SU was somehow compromised.
Does anyone know more about this?
I have LG-H901 (T-Mobile V10), bootloader unlocked, rooted w/ TWRP and Super SU installed. Factory ROM has not been changed.
it shouldnt force su access, I used xposed and root cloak to hide it from asking for root
I made a copy of it with titanium back up and deleted it, no problems.
You didn't trip anything, don't worry.

I know it shouldnt but I'm suspicious that it did. I've heard that rootcloak doesnt do much of anything since it doesnt make Android Pay work and doesnt seem like I need it for this if I've deleted all the Tmobile stuff. Plus I dont have any other reason to install Xposed that I can think of for the V10, though I've used it on other phones for some cool features. Or is there something I'm missing?

I had denied that app su access and I kept getting the toast notification that it had been denied access, then I used roat cloak and added that app and now I don't get anymore toats saying it was denied , so it seems it does hide root from that app

Why not just used Ti Backup to uninstall the com.tmobile.pr.ddapt? Nothing to hide from then.

Just in case it is needed in the future for anything, or if something else messes up.
You always move or rename something and test a bit before deleting it.
It is just a good habit to have.

I realize that, but if you search the threads, all it does is report analytics / diagnostics / and modified systems to t-mobile, we've known this since the phone debuted 2 months ago. And if you are that concerned about system integrity, freezing it doesn't break dependencies, like both moving or removing would.

That is a good habit in general, but pointless in this case, as Adapt Client is a piece of spyware garbage. There is absolutely zero benefit to keeping it.

Some people may at one point want to accept an OTA update.
In that case you need an unmodified system with this garbage intact.
I agree that it is a useless piece of spyware garbage.
However there may still be a need for it for some people at some point.

Leaving crapware on your phone defeats the whole purpose of rooting, really, IMHO. If you can root, you can flash an .img file or a ZIP to update to the latest version. OTAs only make sense if you're stock, unrooted.

I bought my V10 last June and for the first time since my HTC EVO decided that I wouldn't root my phone. I have now come to the conclusion that I need root and after logging in to XDA (after almost a 1 year absence) I see that there's apparently no root for this phone.
Obviously I'm on Verizon - what are my choices for an alternative phone that is in the same class as the V10 but can be rooted? Or is a root solution for the V10 closer at hand?
Albine is almost there. Temporary root has been achieved. It should not be much longer for total root!

Wonder if we could use a similar method. All we really need to do is replace Verizons bootloader with a debug one like that and we'll be golden.

Have you looked at this phone?
I have seen of temp root it works it doesn't work etc...
Partial root only...
Does not survive reboot etc...
But...is it enough root to use debloater to stop ota
Currently debloater does not have proper permissions or something
Does...
Temp root + debloater = no ota
Possibly or no chance

Yes if it upgrades to 7.1.1 which they do in the store... Buy it from Google
If I had twrp port it might be easy to root.. Doesn't seem to exist.. I asked for it already on another thread, but no email.. I'm going to reach out to friend on hangouts and see if he feel like making one. He doesn't have this device so I'm not sure if he's interested.. The theory is this simple.. " fastboot boot twrp.img." once booted into twrp, we can flash twrp. Had to do it for my g4 and it works.. Also, I've seen twrp on locked bootloaders so that shouldn't be an issue.. No one's mention anything about that method though..
I think this died. Not complaining but it's been quite a few months since it was announced root was coming.
Good thing I'm rooted on 5.1.1 still. Would love to see root for Marshmallow (or greater) though.
I think Verizon and their hardware vendors should be aware that I will not buy a product or service if I can't have a rooted phone.
Looks like a Google phone next go around, much I don't want to go that route.
Sorry LG; Sorry Samsung. You won't be selling me anything.

I believe the LG V20 is rooted (or at least unlocked)...
