[Q] Help on Rooting Andoid 2.2. - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi All
Here's a new member extending warm regards to everyone on XDA.
Need help on Rooting my Dell XCD 35, which is running Android 2.2.
What I have successfully done so far is that I have installed JDK and SDK for Android. However, when the SDK tries to connect for downloading repository, it gives me connection times out error (Internet working otherwise). To install the Phone Drivers, I also tried to search for the driver manually, but to no avail. I am really stuck at this time as I don't want to go ahead and start rooting without installing the Phone drivers on the computer. I am assuming it is not advisable.
Please help as the On Phone memory is starting to run out and I need to be able to work as a root user so that I could move some more apps to SD card and tweak the system for performance.
Thanks.

If you use the original rom or TCT_RLS3 rom, when you connect the phone with computer by usb cable, the computer will firstly identify the phone as a usb disk, the drivers are there.
i also got a problem with that i made a mistake on recovery clockworkmod and i mount the phone via usb but i see on pc's folder removable disk and i cant access to it

[Q] Android 4 PC

I am wanting to run Android 2.3.x or Android 3 from my PC. I know this is able to be done via booting to USB however is Android 3 in developement to do the same. I am considering setting up a PC solely with Android on my windows network.
It's not hard to do, I played around with it.
Download the Android OS (google) android-x86-2.3-RC1-tx2500.iso
If running Windows 7, run a virtual machine and you can run it from there.
Instructions were on a website but I don't remember which one.
Just google running android from a pc.

[Q] Android SDK, can't download platforms

Hi, I've installed Android SDK and learnt how to open in Win7 by running as admin. Also installed Java JDK
When I tick the boxes to install 1 or more platforms, the upload seems to start and get to maybe 30%...but then it just stalls and hangs.
Does this symptom suggest anything I've not done correctly on my install?

[Q]how to root your droid razrm

first off I would like to say sorry if this is in the wrong area but since I am a new member the boards are not allowing me to post a reply for technical support in the respective thread that it belongs.
this post is in regards to Dan Rosenberg's one click root for droid attix, droid RAZR, etc...
it can be found HERE
I tried rooting my phone but it failed at installing root. it installed the su.apk but when I run the program after my phone restarted it sends a message about not having any binaries and it cannot download any. on further examination to check if my phone had been rooted I found out it had not been rooted. so some technical stuff about my phone and PC and methods I had tried.
phone:
USB debugging is enabled.
Motorola Droid RAZR M
jellybean 4.1.2
phone USB connection set to MTP
PC:
Windows XP
Motorola droid USB driver package installed(variation tried clockwork USB driver package)
windows media player 11 installed
no firewalls or virus protection installed windows firewall disabled
there is not much else I can explain besides the fact everything went well and it installed SU but in the .bat it said failed after it said rooting.
I wonder if there is something I'm missing or a step I missed any support or recomendations are welcome and supported I am willing to work with you to get a solution.
thanks and much love to you at xda.
the error it seems I'm getting is that adb may not be working or it might be another issue? its failing to copy files and failing to find directorys on the phone

Can SGH-t399 be rooted with Heimdall
I have rooted/modded several devices in the past. However, I recently ended up with only access to a Mac computer, I purchased this phone over the holiday and am unsure when i will have access to a Windows desktop to run the appropriate scripts. I downloaded and installed Heimdall / Frontend and was curious to know if i would be able to use this instead of ODIN to root my samsung Galaxy light. I haven't found any information about it yet, and i want to research a bit before doing something that may brick my phone in its vulnerable "recovery-less" state.
Also; My phone was purchased at metro pcs, and is sporting different build and version numbers than what I've seen on the internet. I haven't seen many posts in 2015 so i was wondering if the exploit had been patched in a recent update or something. Any information would be appreciated as to how to root this on a mac, or via Heimdall. Ive included the build number and such in case that may effect my options.. thank you
Android version 4.4.2
Baseband version t399NUVUANK3
Kernel 3.4.39-2903595
Build number KOT49H.t399NUVUANK3
Believe it or not if im correct the firmware for both can be used on either version because they are basically identical. I was able to run metropcs on my tmobile. Also have you tried running a windows emulator on your mac. You can try that and see if it works. Let me know if it works ok.
running an emulator to root

I did try running an emulator. I am using the current version of virtual box on the current version of Mac osx. The problem is I can't get the virtual machine ( windows xp) to read my host (Mac) to share internet connections. So I can't download Odin onto the guest. Also, I tried mounting a folder with Odin and the root files but it doesn't show up. Same with USB stick. I don't want to derail this thread into a topic of using virtual box, but I can't seem to find anything on the internet in laymen's terms about how to workaround this problem. I'm pretty sure my version of virtual box has the necessary guest extensions installed with it. I've come soooo far in my quest for root. Any help if you have knowledge on this subject would be appreciated. And yes, I am looking for the shared folder on the guest machine within network connections via windows explorer .
