[Q] Need info on rooting a Huawei/Samsung Prism (U8651T) - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi,
I own a Huawei/Samsung Prism under T-Mobile (running Gingerbread 2.3.6) and I want to gain root access on it to remove bloatware. I have thoroughly searched the internet for any/all rooting techniques, in which none are compatible with my device and/or didn't work. I even looked at a few threads here regarding rooting a Prism phone but found things confusing and not so clarifying.
Does anyone know of an absolutely fool proof way to root this damned thing? Just give me the instructions/any files I need to download and I'll be set. I'm no noob when it comes to technology or following directions. I already have the driver installed, if that's useful info to any of you.
Thanks

[Q] Best Way To Go About Rooting

Hello! i am relatively new to the android phone rooting community (more of a linux/server person) and i was wondering if anybody could assist me in choosing the best way to root my htc thunderbolt (verizon)? My android version is 2.3.4, HTC sense is 2.1, and the software number is 2.11.605.5. Also are there any risk's/cons that i should consider that could possibly outweigh rooting at all? thanks! any help is really appreciated
The best thing is to look thru the development section. There is plenty of info readily available. As to rooting search "revolutionary" but make sure you dont update your phone to the new thunderbolt update thats out 2.11605.9, that cant be rooted yet..

root?

Hello could someone please point me in the right direction to root this thing. I've notice there are different methods and a lot of brick talk on here so I'm a little reluctant to use one.I'm not new to the root I have rooted my evo,intercept,g2, galaxy tab. But all those seemed pretty safe I have t 201 and I updated to ics. One more thing I don't care much about the roms just want to run rooted programs so is it even worth it with such a new device?
I rooted mine with sparkys root but first use the unlock tool <unzip your unlock tool prior>...sparkys app is easy either download it with your computer then place in the file of your liking to open and install the app... or i think you can just download it from his page in developement with your prime. And has uproot available which I have done and then rerooted just for fun... enjoy your rooted Prime..

Hello, I'm new to the forum also the world of rooting. I have a ZTE Groove x501_USA_Cricket (Model) That I can't for the life of me find any information on rooting or doing anything on it.

I just recently went through the MANY problems that came along with rooting this phone. I was able to successfully root it using the giantpoon method. Just 2 files and the pooter does the work. PM me for the links.
As far as I can tell, there isn't a custom recovery or ROM for it, but I was able to remove some bloatware and improve the overall battery life by altering some minor settings (using ROMToolbox). My issue is that the wifi stopped working and in an effort to undo any potential damage I had done, I tried restoring (NOOB!)... Needless to say; I now have an unrooted x501 with no working wifi. If I choose to get my service turned back on for it, I should be able to reroot (the ministro ii app requires some resource files), then it's just a matter of finding a good backup of the stock ROM so I can do a complete fix.

[Q] L9 Optimus P769 wifi tethering?

I've searched everywhere for an answer to this. I'd like to get free wifi tethering set up on the phone. I'm familiar with the way software works and I'm not a complete rookie. I understand the risks involved. I just would like for someone to point me to the information I've been unable to find. I need to know all of the steps involved in making this possible after rooting. Thanks in advance!
EDIT: Software version is P76920h
Not sure if rooting will work...
