Hi,
I'm reading within this forum for a while now since I'm getting a SGS2 soon. All possibilities for rooting the device seem to require flashing a modified kernel and installing all the well-known root apps (superuser, busybox etc.).
My question is: Is there an app that is able to root the device by simply hit a button or something similar? I do not want to flash my new device, but wanted to test some root-requiring apps (Chainfire 3D, Titanium Backup). One candidade seems to be an app called z4root (available here at the devs), does anybody have experiences with that app?
Thanks and Cheers

No, you still need an insecure kernel...

You sure you are not looking at |SGS1 dev by mistake for z4root .

Hello guys,
Can someone tell me the benefits of rooting the phone ??
I know how it is done but cant find a reason for it.
So, stating some reasons would help making up my mind.
Thanks
It allows you to:
1. Gain superuser rights
2.Remove all the bloatware e.g. Xperia hotshots
3. To install cwm through which various mods and roms ( supporting locked bootloader) can be flashed
And many things more:

Link2sd is a big one for me as the memory on a mini is pretty low and you dont have to worry any more with this installed also as above you can get rid of all the bloat.
I also had an overheating problem and a fix was on here very quickly but needed root for it to work (no problems since )
Also if you generally like to play with stuff and try things new root is needed to really get to grips with the help on here.
I got ics from here before it was available for my area also.
Finally its FUN just follow the instructions to the letter and if your not sure dont do it.
with root u can install root xplore n titanium backup lol
the most importan app for android user
root is the same as administrator for windows
bootloader unlocked means u own the device :good:
Rooting ur phone wll give u tp use many apps. Dont hesitate to root

With rooting, you will get access to many useful tools for android otherwise can't be used.
For starter, people above me have mentioned before have mentioned some useful apps that can be used in root-only hh.
Titanium Backup is an indispensable apps for your phone to ensure your apps and crucial data inside it won't gone. It can be used to remove useless bloatware, as well
Personally, i use ProxyDroid to bypass the proxy on my campus. Note that unrooted phone has no way to set global proxy.
Of course, rooting will give you access to abundant Custom Rom in the development forum. What is the benefit, you ask?
First, you don't need to stuck to Sony-made UI if you don't like it. I believe someone will say to just install third party apps to make up for it, but you can't just replace the entire UI with it.
Second, you can control the performance of your phone. It is the so called undervolt and overclock stufs. Playing with this, you can determine how the phone play, the way you like it, whether you make it gaming powerhouse (in the cost of battery and overall hardware) or just make it use lesser battery.
Hope that help

Its a choice. But it's such a weird question i think. Maybe its not the benefit. But by rooting your phone, you can customize your original OS. there are many Phone's OSs (ROMs) developed by our friends. Its customized, there are things thats not include in the ori OS. Or maybe you want an app that's not coming for your phone's version, but available in other phone, you can get that by install it yourself.
BUT becarefull when you decide to try to root your phone. And you must be patient, dont give quickly when you failed
This Was Posted Before ,Use Search Button
Link2sd, market enabler, ads block, v6 supercharger and setcpu.
That is my top 5 of reason to root

I don't know much about rooting but I do know that If I can get root access then I can uninsatll the pre installed apps provided . Yestrday , I have uninsatlled a app called 7digital . and If I delete the apps then would it cause any harm to the phone ??!!
I know of no Android phones currently on the market that are "pre-rooted". If you would like to root and uninstall the carrier bloatware that typically comes pre-packaged on many Android phones you are free to. It is recommended that you use this handy tool to do the job: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1994961 . After rooting I would be sure to only uninstall the obviously useless packages, though (anything not related to system functionality like YPMobile or most apps with your carrier's name in the beginning of their names).
come on... no phone is pre rooted (bnew phone)

Hi, was told about this executable that scattered about a while ago ( http://www.informationweek.com/mobi...loits-gingerbread-root-access/d/d-id/1102741? ) and have been wondering if something like that still posible (obviously with no relation to gingerbreak specifically)...?
Also, is it easier for such malware to gain root on a rooted phone (assuming Superuser.apk is fine and threfore I pressume there is no access to the su executable (is my assumption corect?))?
thx.
thx.

up?
up.
pu!
No !
if phone not rooted
it's not possible
it will need some professional work
and that's work
Can't be done with blackhat hackers
even if it rooted
it's have 2 way only
1.if the attacker is expert and have priv8 vulnerability in superuser app to gain root access
2. if user is highly stupid
it surly will give any app root permission when the app request it
Hit thanks if i helped you !
