So, I'm attempting to help my girlfriend root her tablet from multiple hundreds of miles away, and its not easy, let me tell you. Basically, she has no access to a computer in order to complete the process, and of course she's on the latest firmware... so I'm here hoping someone is capable of creating an app that can do it for her. I see there was one in the past, but its obviously no longer working. If someone could do such a thing now... it would help me out so much, I'd be willing to pay. Thanks, guys.

Nobody because it's not possible for now.
The guy who made the sparky root method said in that thread that he'd port the newest root method to an apk format when he got a chance. Therefore, my argument is still valid.

You just give an answer to your own question.
Did you see it in the forums? No? Well then guy guy didn't ported yet
btw, unlock and custom rom ftw
Are you implying that its possible to unlock and install ROMs without rooting?

Yes. Unlock, flash a custom recovery with fastboot (but you need a computer if you aren't rooted). And from recovery flash any ROM you want.
See, the issue here is there is no USB access on her computer, so whatever is done, it has to be from the tablet itself.

Hey guys,
I've recently converted to the S3 from the GNex.. I'm used to the stock android feel. I've read that the Galaxy S 3 comes with unlocked bootloaders.. does that mean if I root I wouldn't have to clear data?
Because I'm honestly willing to settle with this phone, I've changed 7 phones in past 6 months and I'm sick of losing my data..
So help me..
Can I root without losing data?

The toolkit is doing the same thing. It's best that you learn to do it through Odin. It's far more safe this way it's not like you are going to break it or anything.

Use droidstyle's guide. Section 1b has odin to stock. Use the vramc3 file and it will be on the latest ota and relocked.

After going through the unlock process on the Verizon Note 2, would I be able to then use a MetroPCS sim card in it? I went through the entire process in Casual, it said I was unlocked, but when i popped my metro sim, it wouldn't recognize it.
I'm guessing I either messed up somewhere, or it isn't capable of doing it.
Can anyone shed some light?

I have a feeling I have waited too long to get on the task of liberating my prime to a custom rom. Maybe someone will tell me I am wrong.
My prime received the stock JB upgrade some time ago and I recently got the keyboard dock as I plan to start using it more. I have found on xda instructions to root and unlock my prime after I fixed the serial number. However I am unable to figure out how to install a custom recover and when I try to access the recovery from within the bootloader it just freezes. Any ideas or pointers? Thanks!

??? The instructions are in the first post.
I got the netgear screencasting gizmo. and it don't work.
I tried a bunch of devices they all connect but then disconnect. I determined its likely that I am rooted (not optional so unrooting is never going to be an option)
I determined this because the only 2 devices that will work (unrooted s3's) are unrooted. every rooted device fails.
this is BS and should be illegal for them to do this. SO how do I get around it?
either software or hardware solution to getting around this immoral and in my opinion illegal restriction.?
is there a device out their without this crippling built into it? maybe hacked firmware for one of them or something?

You should be able to use the Xposed patch library file in the link on your S3 ( libwfd_engine.so).
Don't know which file it is for the Note 3.

I limited my answer from the jump to the Note 3. After reading my comments, I may have been unclear on that metric. However, if you read the posts I've made in this thread, they've all stated overtly that the Xposed app to which I linked will work for the S3, and not for the Note 3.

Yup. I was specifically saying only that a solution existed for your S3 and perhaps others here whom may have a Note 2.
But...that library file must have its counterpart for our phone under a different name, or that library file resides elsewhere from system, library, as those files are everywhere, not only in system (look at Google Now for the quick search box, for just one example, it has two in /data).

I know with the official Samsung Allshare cast module you have to be on a stock kernel. I would say to try that. I am on Jellybomb 3.2 and screen mirroring works perfectly.
