Hello all, I know this is proubly a dumb question but I'm a noob so please be kind. I have a Galaxy tab. 10.2 with 3.2 honeycomb on it. Now is it possible for me to root my device safely. Or should I just forget about doing this? I rooted my son's tablet that is a generic 2.2 tab. so I am not a total idiot, but far from being tech. savy. I'm new to this game and wanting so bad to be able to root my device but also just a carpenter in another world right here and just learning. Thanks for any advice that anyone can give me.

You can root safely, but just follow directions and take your time.

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

The Post is in the same forum as this one topic name is Rooted, page 3, user eleazar123 posted it..

1 yes you can
2 so many do a search
3 no you cant update your phone if it is rooted
3.1 but you can update it by unrooting it temporarily using an app superuser
4 1 rooting will void your warranty
2 do it as clear as per the instructions for rooting else you will soft brick your phone you can unbrick that but take precautions
that's all take a risk friend
Hello everybody! Just got a Galaxy S4 from Verizon with the evil 4.3 update & I want to root the heck out of it, but when I follow all the instructions to the letter, absolutely NOTHING works...no SuperSU, no terminal commands, nothing...this is very tedious and rage inducing.and I also would like to know if it's possible to downgrade back to 4.2. Really not liking 4.3...stupid Knox...
ANY help put into layman's terms would be greatly appreciated.

No, of course it's not possible to downgrade. Please learn what you're doing before you brick your phone.
Start here.
After that, post DETAILS about what you tried and why it didn't work. You didn't tell us what model phone you have, what build it's on, what you tried to use to root it, what you observed, etc. How is it possible for anyone to help you?
You are quite right. Forgive me, I was 80% asleep when I wrote that post...Sleep deprivation is truly a cruel mistress... I was, however, able to successfully root my VZW Galaxy S4 with the help of this extraordinarily helpful video via youtube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K5mCsDyW-TI
Now, I just need to find out which apps are bloatware & are safe to freeze.
Any of the Verizon apps, sdm.apk (so phone won't update), aether pal .apk it allows Verizon remote control of your phone, callid or w/e it's called, cityid anything you won't use.
Hit thanks if I helped you out. Doing a little bit of reading goes a long way. Sent via tapatalk.
Great! Thanks a heapload! I'll do a little perusing around to see what's safe to freeze. Thanks again!
Hi, everyone. I'm new to the forums and am looking for a little insight on my device. I've been interested in rooting android devices for a long time and have successfully done so on a few occasions. I've used poot, kinoroot, androot and some others that escape me right now.
I have a Samsung Galaxy Tab E lite...
Model: SM-T113
Android Version: 4.4.4
I've accessed the developer options and enabled USB debugging...
It's unrooted right now... I have a pc laptop to do USB debugging if need be...
What i'm wanting to do guys is get the most out of my tablet by rooting and flashing for better ROM, this way I can learn and at the same time optimize my device to its fullest potential while also engaging in this new online community. The only problem I have is the reason I just cant out-right experiment with my tablet and which is why I've come here to you tech-gurus for help...
I CANNOT brick my tablet. It was a gift from my brother and the first one he bought me I accidently bricked by not doing enough research while trying to root it. He returned it and bought me an even nicer one then told me specifically not to try and ROOT it...
haha.. he should've known better.
So if anyone has an advice or keen insight on all the necessary steps to backing it up, rooting it, and maybe even doing whatever it takes to flash more ROM... I would highly appreciate it. I apologize if this new thread angers anyone.
Many thanks and I look forward to learning from you all.
