Hi there,
I'm rather new (so sorry if these are dumb questions) to all this flashing / rooting / de branding and had a few questions about it..
Well i bought the x10 on mobile network 3 (three uk) and tbh they are ****. First phone i had i debranded using the SEUS copy file method over, but since then i have had them replace the phone. i tried the same method but as SE have updated SEUS i can't get it to work... :|
So looking around i started reading up on rooting.
Firstly if i follow this guide forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=711907 will that debrand the phone to the generic firmware?
If that is the case will i then be able to get future updates through SEUS or not?
If i rooted the phone, would there be anyway to go back to the so called unrooted version?
And lastly, what are the other pro's and con's of rooting?
Thanks, and sorry if these are silly questions!

Hi.
They aren't silly if you don't know the answer, but considering a search of the forum and browse of the guide (which you could have posted this question on) would have given you the answers it's an annoying post.
Read the rules and browse THIS section.
i had been researching the topic for 2 days before i posted here, i understand the majority of it just not the questions posted above.
i followed the link you posted but it did not answer my main question
will that debrand the phone to the generic firmware?
If that is the case will i then be able to get future updates through SEUS or not?

After searching google with can I run seus after rooting, I found this thread - [Q] Questions about rooting my X10i
Total time, 30 seconds.
thankyou
sorry, just seen so many posts about it didn't know what to properly search for
pardon my ignorance
No worries, but it is frustrating to see new threads asking questions that have been answered a million times already. In future just post on an existing thread instead of starting new ones.
To answer one of your other questions - What is rooting and why should I do it?
yes i can understand that entirely being a member of other forums myself.
In future Existing Posts it is!
Thanks for that link as well, definatly explains things in more detail!

Hi all
I am a little bit confused?
I got my gf (girlfriend) a motorola atrix from website called PANAMOZ when it arrived I found out it was ME860 (HKTW) not MB860 (ATT 4G)
Some of the stuff was in chinese like keyboard etc etc.
I was going to get her a SGS II same as what I have but she said it was too big for her.
Now the problem I have got is it is running android 2.2.2 and my SGS II is on android 2.3.4
How can I get the motorola atrix ME860 on android 2.3.4?
Do I root it, sbf it via RSD lite, unlock bootloader (if so how),fastboot vol up vol down, etc etc.
I have been reading for 2 days on xda forum and I think I am going to go crazy!
My last moto was the wings! and with my nokia's, HTC, iphones, Blackberry's and Samsung's I have not had any problems updating to latest official or un-official firmware.
So all I would like is some help and support for you guys to get the atrix ME860(HKTW) on gingerbread 2.3.3 or 2.3.4
She is not interested in all types of mods or flashing custom roms every other week!
Just a stable phone that won't let her down and yet be SMART.
Thank you in advance for all your help-advice-tutorials-link
PS
I have been reading about using RSD and putting on 1.2.6 then root but when I try that, RSD lite just says fail. When I try the HKTW sbf (4.0.500) it does work but it gives me android 2.2.2 froyo on chinese firmware.
I live in UK and don't mind installing US, UK, EU firmware/sbf as long as my gf can use it and not have chinese rubbish on it.
Its knowing how to do this and in what order I need to do this. I have managed to root it using gingerbreak 1.20apk
Thanks for your help guys n gals

No because this is the dev forum. It is not for questions. Please read the rules before you post. Dev forum is for devs and people who help test out their devs.

K thanks for that m8.
for a guy with 6 posts and a thanks meter on zero after being a member since 2009, you should probably not show attitude to more accustomed members who know what they are talking about. this is clearly the wrong section, regardless of the reasoning for why you'd like it here.
I would go to settings menu>about>systemupdates and see if it will update first. Trying to get into rooting and unlocking right now would take longer..... meaning longer more complicated process.
An infraction was given to the OP to remind them to not create question threads in the developer forums. Hopefully this will prevent them and others from doing so in the future.
Hello,
I have a Motorolla Atrix 4G purchased from Bell. The phone was updated to Gingerbread 2.3.6 already.
I have rooted the phone following this guide http://androidadvices.com/root-motorola-atrix-4g-45141-gingerbread-236-firmware/
Using the moto-fastboot files from here http://www.android-advice.com/file-downloads.php?filename=Atrix_Root_Files
I'm trying to unlock the bootloader so I can ultimately install CM7, but my understanding from this forum sticky http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1160408 is that I can't do this without bricking the phone, since I had already done the official gingerbread update.
So if I'm correct, I need to follow this guide... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1302423
Except that guide and the warning sticky are referring to 2.3.4, not 2.3.6...
Could someone please lend me some knowledgeable input and/or guidance on this? Greatly appreciated, and thank you for your time.
Solved my own question. Phone is unlocked and functioning.
To anyone else who might be helped by this, that guide I posted DOES work for 2.3.6 on Bell... Even says so approx. 13 pages into the discussion (took me awhile to find it).
Just like to thank this community for existing, and all the effort and time you guys spend to not only develop, but to help others by publishing these great resources.
I have the Samsung Galaxy S2 I9100M from Bell Running Latest Stock 4.1.2
I have successfully rooted.. I need help with what CWM Recovery to use and how do I find Liquid Smooth for this phone.. Contact me asap

Exactly. What you need to do is some searching/reading & learning on your own.
Reported post for user not searching/reading and wanting to be spoon fed.
Rule #1 is to use the Search function.
This phone is not new by any means, so that answers are all out there. Just look in the General, Q&A and Development Stickies and the answers you will find.

I figured I would visit you here in the T-Mobile S5 forum since you guys would definitely know more about this particular issue than I do. Like the title states, I'm wondering if you know of anyone in your forum flashing a T-Mobile ROM to a Verizon SM-G900V, and if so which would be a good choice of ROM to do it? And which route should I take as for flashing firmware with Odin, or if any of the Verizon firmwares are compatible with your ROM's, and I wouldn't need to flash a T-Mobile firmware at all. I looked and I can't seem to find where anyone has posted about this. Theoretically it should be able to work with the right combination. I'm definitely not new at doing this stuff but this is a whole new ball game for me. I wouldn't know where to begin at flashing a T-Mobile ROM to this phone, being that I have to work within the parameters of the stupid locked bootloader. Any help would be greatly appreciated and thanks in advance.
Edit: I just realized I posted this in the wrong area I think. I meant to post it in the Q&A forum. Sorry about that. I guess I am too tired to do this right now and should've waited until the morning. Lol

Thank you. Again, I'm sorry about that. It wasn't until I went back looking for my post, that I realized I posted this in the wrong forum.
