Hi everyone,
This is faakher. I'm from Pakistan. I'm new to android. I got a new phone Huawei Honor with Gingerbread 2.3.6. I have some questions to be asked:
1- What is root?
2-Is it safe to upgrade my os to Ice cream sandwich? (I found an update on Huawei's website)
3-If I upgrade my os to ice cream sandwich, is it possible to reinstall gingerbread 2.3.6?
Please guide me I'm a newbie in Android community.
Welcome to xda. First read http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1466228 rooting is when u get super powers (just like the spider guy) to do whatever u want with d phone. U can remove unwanted system apps. And it's d basic requirement to flashing roms, mods and stuff .
Yeah. Upgrading to Ics is safe.
Buddy first rule of xda is to search and read as much as u can. If you dont find it, then post a topic.
and for rom queries please find your particular device's forum in xda.
by the way, in simple way, root is gaining the access of ownership of everything. U can get high performance from ur device after rooting. Just read as much as u can.
if your device manufacturer is providing the ics update, then u can upgrade to it easily.
for reverting back to stock u have to root first then install stock rom from zip, or there are many methods, just read in your device's forum.

Hey i know re ...... what is adb ... but in this post i hve to overclock using setcpu... but the max is 600mhz...
How to install flash player.....
I know it is not there but there is no way.??
There is a pretty old site called google for questions. Try it out once in a while.
Stop spamming the forums with repeated questions.
To your question about adb, I had already replied to a different post you had created yesterday. What is the point of asking the same questions again and again without checking the responses to your previous posts.
Having read 3 of the threads you have created in the last 2 days(all of them very similar), you seem like a guy out to exploit the goodwill of other users on this forum and one who is incapable of following even the simplest of instructions.
And
Please don't create a new thread asking for the expansion of 'adb'.

It seems you are confused. Or are you just struggling to read english? What one do you see that is rooted?
The ones you have been directed to (stickied at the top of the General section, linked above by pier10) are the same one, (but are hosted on different download sites) and it is NOT rooted, but both pages have instructions on how to root if you want. If you don't want root, just ignore the rooting instructions.
As far as Kies, it will update only if you are still on an official stock Samsung firmware, with the correct CSC for your country. If you haven't flashed any firmwares yourself yet, this is a good bet. But you will have to wait until Samsung updates their servers for your region to say your phone is eligible for an update.

i was going to get all info and links and post a easy 123 step method for locked bootloader 2.3.4 neo with 62 fw.
like this. (just example idk what comes first or what to do yet)
1) download this (*****)
2) download that (*****)
3)put (***) in the folder named (*****)
4) connect phone in flash mode
5)flash this and that
6) done. you can now put roms on and you have full root access..
i suggest use pandemics answer thank him and grant him best wishes with his work maybe donate him.
i will also post a list of roms that work with locked bootloader, maybe an ics version or 2
Basically i make this for simple instructions to get root cwm and rom. i will work hard to try make this good very very noob guide,
I see your xtra noob guide. after downloading and doing as you say will that give me root cwm and custom rom? have you got list of roms i can use if i root neo with your guide?
It's not hard to understand, but just you are lazy to try understand.
How can: flash .42, root, OTA (optionally flash .62 kernel) be hard to understand? What can be more simpler/noob prof than this?
Things aren't complicated, it just need to take some free time to TRY understanding them.
If all this is to complicated, only 1,2,3 which I can suggest is:
1)turn on phone
2)use it stock
3)turn it off

don't be lazy, go trough dev section and check yourself what rom's are for locked BL's.
it's not hard, actually most of them have word locked or unlocked in their title.
This is not for me i know this. i root my old phone, i am experience enough to cook my own rom on my old phone i also rite simple android apps so i know this. i do this for someone who not had android before i want nice simple instruction for them without the corporate mumbo jumbo

I don't know your earlier experience and knowledge, but based on your questions in this thread, you don't know how to do it, or it's hard for you to understand. (to lazy to quote each of your sentence with question). Maybe I'm wrong, but I just reply on your posts.
Also, making instruction even more simplified(then the one on Pandemic link) we are making zoombies out of people, who don't use their heads to think and try to understand something. People becoming to lazy these days.
I dont think its lazy, i work with zombies that need zombie noob guides lol.
i am not lazy i do this for the community that want easy answer and list of roms for locked bootloaders (i am now searching and editing my posts with roms i find) please see my second post

Hello,
I just bought a samsung galaxy s2 phone. I like very much this phone. But because is my first android phone i don`t know a lot of things about it. I saw on forum smth about room(guess it`s right) and how it can make your phone faster.
Which is the best to choose?
Should i do backup first?
Should i do these before updating to ICS or JB?
How can i add the S3 function with s voice on my phone? What others app should i add too?
Any adivice for a noob is welcome!

Sorry for asking the question in a wrong section.

Should update be done before trying to add a custom rom? or should i add it now and after rom?

About your problem, download flashtool and download .ftf (I suggest Nordic region) and flash it. Everything can be found in dev sections, or in sticky thread in general section.

btw. edit thread title to reflect your problem, as current one is so generic that it can be used on 90% threads here

Why are you sending PM's, we have forum, there are smarter people here and will solve your problem faster if more of us discuss about it.
First you said that you have problems with keyboard, then you said you followed this instructions: http://theunlockr.com/2012/10/08/how-to-root-the-sony-ericsson-xperia-neo-mt15i/
On those instructions I only see how to root your phone, which includes flashing MT11i kernel.
Now hear this. If you said all this info before, you would get your solution by now.
Flashing MT11i kernel on MT15i gives that error. And I would have told you that if you gave all the info you have. And no need to go around the web for instructions, everything you need is here, if you had checked this (sticky) thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1678690 you would noticed that flashing only kernel cause errors.
For start flash your phone with correct fw, to solve your initial question, then go on next exhibitions
And please use forum, it will be faster
nah sorry for all the issues and problems im done forget this thread please and delete my account im not doing this.time for a new phone.peace
