Hi
This is probably the noobiest question.. I am new to the android scene and am clueless. My GS2 comes in today, so excited!!
So I will root it when i get it. Just wondering, is the rooting method the same for every firmware version or does it change as new firmwares come out?
And can someone PLEASE link me to a detailed root guide for the GS2. Keep i mind i am new to the android scene.
Thanks in advance guys!!
As to date, rooting works the same. You flash a pre-rooted rom, or only a rooted kernel. Until Samsung would suddenly lock their bootloaders nothing will change. Luckily Samsung likes the Android community, so they'll keep it easy for us to root.
Ok. So every time i upgrade to a new firmware.. I just use the same root guide and it will work.?
Can you point me to a detailed step by step GS2 rooting guide please?
Thanks for your help
The most easiest way would be to pick the CF-Root kernel matching your firmware/ROM from here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1103399
And just flash that - done.
The kernel takes care of pretty much everything.
Seems complex.. but i will give it a try.
Hey guys I am a android newbie got a Neo V recently..I would like to use Titanium backup/brightness hack to move most of the apps to SD Card, and read that requires root..
Is rooting perfectly safe? cuz am not really interested in going beyond the stock SE Rom or anything?
And if I get any future SE official device updates, should I unroot the device before installing new updates or the root can be left as it is??

I'm also rooted and on stock and it still has many advantages. It's easy if you have an unlocked bootloader, else I don't know.

I dont want to unlock my bootloader, I am not looking to install custom roms or anything..
Can anyone else answer my question above, and can I follow this to just root my phone?? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1321582
Root it using the zergrush method (rooting doesnt remove the warranty) its very easy and no need to unlock the bootloader , then just get app2sd or similar to move the apps to SD.
After rooting you can do many more things like removing carrier apps, move apps, supercharge, etc.

lilflix7, first of all to understand what is rooting you need to understand the basics of a Linux system, as Android is nothing but a system using the Linux kernel. "root" is like a default administrator account in Linux , which gives you hardware level access. For example giving hardware level access to applications which manage CPU Scaling for battery efficiency. By default the vendors lock out the "root" access just to protect their warranty incase you do something harmful (i.e. deleting important system files") or a malware granting itself administrative privilege to mess with your phone. But some of us have found ways to enable it incase we want better control of our phones for more customization (i.e freeing up some space by deleting unnecessary system applications) and hacking. The methods vary depending upon the make and the models and most importantly the Android Version .. As it sometimes varies between gingerbread and ICS .. With ST15i with ICS please don't consider rooting the phone directly using the scripts, you might end up with a brick.. Downgrade to a Gingerbread Kernel after which you may have a soft brick due to the kernel mismatch, but then you can run the DooMLoRD rooting tool with busybox....After this process switch back to the stock kernel and you are rooted xD .. Please note Firmware 4.0.2.A.0.62 and 4.0.2.A.0.69 are difficult to root on a locked boootloader. So to root gingerbread you need to flash either 4.0.2.A.0.42 or 4.0.2.A.0.58 and then Root.. This might sound hebrew to you as you are new to this phone, so i suggest you to read through the forums before you decide your call. As "rooting" your phone will void your warranty AND MOST IMPORTANTLY BRICK YOUR PHONE if you do something wrong.. Here is a detailed guide on how to root ST15i (talk.sonymobile.com/thread/41119?start=0&tstart=0).. I have tried it on my week old ST15i and its rooted flawlessly now xD.. All the very best..

So probobly you will need to unlock your bootloader to install custom rom. Not every rom require it but most of them.
1.Here you've got tutorial to unlock your bootloader

I've been using Xperia U since last year. I would appreciate if someone could guide me in easy steps how to flash and install a new ROM in my device. I am tired of the interface and phone is working slow and giving me trouble.
P.S I'm a noob in this field.
