questions
If I use toolkit V4.0, does it come will all the files needed to flash/root my device?
If not what files do I need....and could someone link me please...
Do I lose my text/sms/contact data?
Is there a safe way of rooting without loosing all my data?
do I have to install the drivers that come with the toolkit for it to work? or can I just have the phones default drivers to let it work?

No you dont loose anything with rooting your device. Only when flashing a new custom rom
Use Odin to flash cf root

I just followed these steps:

Worked for the latest updates too.
Very easy to do and all files included.

[Q] Wipe data/cache/etc w/o phone recovery. [Rooting problem]

Hello everyone,
I have a Samsung GT-S5820 China mobile made running android 2.3.6, before, I have successfully rooted this device, and days later I update its baseband to a higher version using Odin. And now try to root it again, but here's an error.

}
I check the root checker and it states only busybox has installed.
I've googled every way of rooting any android device but sadly nothings work.
the question is.. How can I wipe data/cache/ etc that native recovery mode can perform. Because according to some chinese website, this phone has no recovery mode as it is a customized model of samsung device.
or does anyone here knows how to solve this problem? I'd be so thankful if you can help me. Thanks

[Q] i9100P JB 4.1.2 Root advice

Hi, I have an i9100P on O2 upgraded to official stock 4.1.2 and I am having problems find an exact way to root, with the intention of then upgrading CWM Recovery to at least 6.0.4.3 so I can install Resurrection_Remix_KK_v5.1.1-20140507-i9100.zip KitKat ROM

As far as I can make out I can use Philz kernel (does anyone know the exact version for my phone, as I cannot post in his thread).
Can anyone confirm if these are all compatible with my phone.
Also, I thought I read somewhere that ROM Manager doesnt like this phone, is this true? If so, can I just upgrade to a Kitkat compatible CWM Recovery by flashing it in the recovery installed with Philz kernel?
I am basing my info on this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s2/development-derivatives/philz-cwm6-stock-kernel-cwm6-root-exfat-t1877270
And this article http://galaxys2root.com/galaxy-s2-roms/how-to-install-android-4-4-kitkat-rom-on-galaxy-s2-gt-i9100sgh-i777/
Thank you for any info you may have.

Rooting a Galaxy S 4 build VRUFNK1 noobie

I am pretty green at rooting, did it on a droid pro and later droid razr. I recently purchased a used Verizon Galaxy S 4 and need root access with a wifi tethering option as I am still g'fathered on unlimited data on two phones. I have read the thread at http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s4-verizon/general/how-to-root-i545vrufnk1-4-4-2-12-1-2014-t2959613 and being a noobie I'm a bit overwhelmed with doing it. I will need to do a factory reset on the phone before I swap it to my account and assume I need to do that before I try rooting. A few questions I have are; 1. do I need the sim card installed before doing the root 2. Is odin v3.09 an app or a computer program 3. what kind of tethering options will i have (I currently run "android-wifi-tether" on my razr) Is there a better (easier, safer) way if I update to Lollipop 5.? or do I need to stay with the 4.2.2? I apologize for my ignorance.

Please, can someone help me with this device too? I've been searching for ages for a way too root this device

Are you on the same Build Number? If not, then most likely it'd be a different method.
I checked and it's the exact same build number. I tried like every program there is to root it but none worked so far. Can u help me? ( us)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s4-mini/general/galaxy-s4-mini-plus-t3041208/page9 - The easier way would be to try #86. If that doesn't work, then follow the link to recoveries in #85 and use a custom recovery to install the newest SuperSU zip from Chainfire. If something goes wrong, you can find your firmware here to restore: http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/database/GT-I9195I/
