Hey everyone, lately I have been watching a lot of videos on YouTube from the channel 'PocketNow' and I really enjoy all the tips and tricks they provide for Android user such as ROMS, Mods, and Rooting advise. I myself want to get into the world of rooting my Android devices, but im a little skittish about bricking my device or doing something wrong. Is it really worth rooting my Samsung Galaxy Player ? And if so what is the easiest and safest way to do it?

You can use a program called Super one click or this program here:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=20950511
Super one click works on most Windows computers so you probably won't have to use the second one.
If you want the features of rooting then it is definitely worth it. You can unroot using super one click as well.

Thanks! and ya ive heard of that. I plan on rooting my device on a computer with no internet connection. Do you think that'll work?

It did for me. You may also have to use odin to flash a new kernel if you want to.

Odin is a program made by Samsung that was leaked. It let's you basically "install" roms and kernels.
You would be able to root without Internet if you managed to download the rooting program.

Is there a way to root my player from the player itself?
Sent from my YP-G70 using xda app-developers app
As joemhewitt noted, use SuperOneClick, it literally is just one click and you're rooted. I'm not doing anything too crazy with my SGP so I'm running everything stock excepted rooted. For me, the most valuable aspect of being rooted is to be able to backup my stuff with Titanium Backup. I followed this video and rooting worked perfectly http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aA4bw8bU4T4
I also watched this video, thanks man

Would the mobile Odin pro app work for this device? I purchased it when I had my epic 4g touch and have been itching to use it again...

As far as I know, gingerbreak has very rarely worked on the SGS2. Definitely doesn't work on ICS, as the name indicates.
Only 99% certain, here are 150 pages to confirm/refute...
ZacQ8's link is the only non-pc root method available - 99.99% sure about that.
Should be more popular because of that, IMO (said the man who doesn't use ICS...)
few people have posted that they sucessfully rooted their S2 through gingerbreak.. Only if you extract files in right folder...and also i am not on ICS till now.
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda premium
Just use the method posted by @ZACQ8. It takes only few minutes, it's secure and works fine. That CWM "live" version can even do backups, restores and etc.
We really need apps like "universal androot'" for galaxy s2 .. I just rooted my motorola droid through this app its so simple and easy...just a one click away no need to get in to recovery mode.i hope someone is working on a similer app like this for s2 ..

The graphics are great. I wish my Galaxy could handle the newly found Tegra ability on all Android devices. Apparently there's a way to get the detailed Tegra version onto all devices. I'm pretty sure it would lag.
If you want to get Dead Trigger go into the Pirate Bay. I tried to get it through play store and that kept crashing. I don't know why.

YOU WILL NOT GET ANY UPDATES IF YOU ARE ROOTED... stock rom or not if you are rooted then no more ota updates.. you will have to just install by flashing your rooted phone.

I agree with you on waiting for a stable release. I need something I know will work, but I'm very excited that CM has moved to JB so quickly.
The only OTA update I need is a download of my next custom ROM.

There's no way to port that over. It requires TW framework and libs which cannot be ported over because it is very different.

CM10 > Samsung in general. I had to briefly flash back to my stock Samsung ICS nandroid backup today after running CM10 for the past 5 days, and it seemed incredibly slow and choppy compared to CM10. I was blown away at the difference.

Hello all, I have finally decided to root my S3. I just have one question though, what app would be good to backup all my settings, pics, apps and everything else? Also what is a good Rom to use that's fast and based on jellybean?
Sent from my SGH-I747M using xda app-developers app
You can use titanium backup. As for the ROM it depends, some prefer stock with custom kernel others prefer asop ROMs. You should browse the forums and decide for yourself. Also next time search and only make a new thread if you can't really find an answer, the moderators may get mad at you.

What's the difference between asop and stock with different kernel? I read some older topics and just go too confused.

read the OP. it explains the different naming schemes of various different ROMs. it also lists all the roms that fall into different categories of aosp, aokp, stock, and others.

actually jjegan is right. due to hardware differences, you need to check out the appropriate forum for your phone. you will turn your phone into an expensive paperweight if you flashed any roms or kernels in this forum.

If you're on Gingerbread you should be able to use dd to flash a CWM kernel. Then flash superuser from there.
See Entrophy's daily driver instructions for flashing this way.
Note: I checked and the stock U.S. 2.3.5 does have dd.
Wish I remembered how I did it, I remember it was soooo hard to do though, took my hours
