I dunk the answer but you won't get one posting in the wrong section. Post this in q&a (which means questions and answers) and you'll have a speedy answer GL

you should probably post this in the Q&A Section but...
The easiest method to enable root access is probably through the toolkit which is stickied in this forum
The Flash Counter gains a number everytime you flash a custom kernel or rom.
I have no idea what you mean by your third question
It is capable to flash stock through Odin or through the toolkit.
Good luck!

sorry for posting in wrong section, please close

This, is a question. Guess which section this belongs in? Q&A! That stands for Questions. And. Answers.
ok,sorry. it is possible to change room?
if its gingerbread you dont need to unlock it.. just run clockwork. I have a bell atrix with the 2.3.4 update and i didnt have to unlock but yet i flashed a rom and installed custom recovery.
If that^ isn't it, did you run the faarboot oem unlock command in faatboot yet?

The android XDA app needs a report button.... Could a mod please move this thread to the appropriate Q&A section?
The development section is for development purposes like for developers that create new roms and maintain them. The Q&A area is for question like yours.

since the XDA app is built off tapatalk, just tap on the offending post, click MORE, and report
Hi everybody, this tread is right for my phone.
I have an Atrix I-TIM branded with Android 2.2.2, no updates expected from TIM, tried this method to unlock it : http://briefmobile.com/how-to-unlock-the-atrix-4g-bootloader, but don't work.
I've root and recovery yet on and need to unlock bootloader to flash CM7 or other Roms.
Thanks for any advice here.

no. this 'tread' is not right for your phone. this 'tread' is in the wrong section. if you have a problem with your phone, do a search and find a similar problem and fix it. once you have exhausted all searches, then you can create a new thread in the Q&A section....
Ok, Iwill do, but mind that this tread isn't closed and you can move it to the right section!
New tread here

that is not true?
to install a custom recovery you need to unlock the bootloader... that is the whole point of unlocking... unless you have some weird atrix...

Root apk

Hey guys Im looking to root my i777 but my computer took a crap and I need to get a new one I was just wondering if they're are any apks that will root so I can flash cwm via mobile Odin and get my Rome that way for now. May be a stupid question but thanks in advance.

Firstly, wrong section. Post in Q&A. Second, no. You can use a friend's computer, but that's all there is.
Sorry about the wrong section and thanks
Mod could you please close the thread

Thread moved to Q&A...
And no, coming from stock, the only way to root is to flash a kernel with root injected... or Superoneclick/zurgrush root from a computer. Only after that can you start flashing from your phone.

LF9 Modem

Right, but development forum is for the releasing of development, not asking for development items. All questions should be asked in the q&a forum.
This may be what you want though.

Cool modem will flash again.
Whats the battery life like after flashing this? Is there a changelog?

Odin

Guys I sold my old HTC One X for a used Galaxy s3 so I'm very happy with how it's been so far and I'm not regretting it at all.
It's firmware is 4.0.4 and I wanted to root my phone.
I followed this guide: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QJss1_dZZeY&list=PLIB9nMQ3IBuXuTz3PQJb3AMT1POhpYeXG
I did tried the step by step guide and video but I always got stuck and problems at the PDA section. It says FAIL.
I did tried searching for a fix but it seems even though I'm not the first neither the last with this problem I had no idea how to fix it.
I also tried the MACosx version with Heimdall and exactly the same, it fails during the PDA part.
What is my solution?
Thank you so much!
Your question should be in q/a section but make sure you know which s3 you have. I have the 9305 & there are like 4 different versions out there.
Second the easiest way to root and have fun with this phone is to download the all in one tool from the original dev section. It has everything u need in one package.
Have fun! I had the one x and this is tens times better in a million ways!!

so I looked at your link and seems like some people are struggling so I haven't tried it yet. Are we any closer to a simple root. I don't necessarily need to install a recovery just want root. And by the way thanks for posting the link.

You may be out of luck.
The method is easy but it will wipe your phone.
There is a chance yo could be waiting for a looong time.
So if I'm OK with wiping it works. Everything will work?

Try towel root, it worked on my nc5, only problem is that the bootloader is locked so I cannot flash roms
Simply search "towelroot apk" and you should find a link to xda or to towelroot.com
