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).

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.

Okay, I've had past experience with rooting. I've owned a HTC desire which i have done all sorts with it(Flashed radios,kernels,roms,recoveries), however I know that every phone is different which is why I see myself as a noob once again.
I'm from the UK and own a unlocked GT-I9300 which is updated to jellybean. I've been searching around and got myself a bit confused. I'm looking for a way to root the device in the most easiest way. My searches kept bringing me to carrier versions :/ Just a few questions.
Does the software version(jellybean) effect the method I should use?
Does the fact that the phone is unlocked effect the method i should use?
Will i be able to flash different ROM's through a recovery? (I did with the desire)
Will i be able to sneak google wallet onto the device and use nfc to pay for stuff in the uk?
Some extra questions may be added later on.
Any help would be nice.
The reason i am rooting is because i hate limitations like wallpaper scrolling and not being able to download extra game data to the sdcard, i also think touchwiz is ugly, am i the only one?
No. Use cf-root to root your phone.
It works on all versions.
Carrier doesn't matter.
Unlocked doesn't matter.
Don't know about Google wallet but this is xda so I would say yes, it works. (Someone somewhere surely made it work)
Yes you can flash stuff through recovery.
Mobile Odin is just as easy.

I rooted mine a couple of days ago using Samsung Galaxy S3 Toolkit v6.0
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1703488
It's a great tool, and pretty easy to use and you have everything there, so you can also do a full backup after the root.
Im also kinda new to this whole Android rooting stuff, after being for 4 years an iPhone user and i managed to root it and install a custom ROM without having any issues.
Hi,
I just rooted my S3 JB 4.1.2 (XXELKC) so what is next?
Any recommendation to make use of all the benefits of Rooting
You can Install Adfree, Go Backup or Titanium backup and make a full backup of your data, First go to Recovery (CWM) make a full system backup.
After that you may wish to try some Custom roms, CrDroid or Wanamlite or Foxhound they are very good ROMS.
If you do not know what for are you rooting your phone - do not do it.
Most likely, your base benefit will be:-
- loss of stability due to overclocking;
- loss of functionality due to app freezing in TB;
- worse case scenario: phone brick.
sorry mate but your post looks like:
I just have removed all the fuses in my house, and I replaced it with rigid cable, so what should I do next?
If you do not know what for are you rooting your phone - do not do it.
As the man says root does nothing .
You root for a reason and not if you have no reason .
You would be far better off reading the basics in the stickies before trying to do what you know nothing about and risking a bricked phone .

You can install apps like adaway or such as stated above. I just want to tell you one thing. Naturally you will be curious to use custom ROMs like Ultima (it's really cool) or such. But before trying each different ROM have a Full Wipe.
May take a look at this thread:

Use Google my friend. Lots of bennies but I agree with JJE. Best to know why and what for.. before doing anything
Also please in the future ask Questions in the Q&A section.

Thank you all for your replies. My main reason to root to try different apps that require rooting. I don't think anyone when started rooting his/her device knows everything and what to do without referring to some help from forums of reading somewhere.

Sorry, but... actually I was acting contrary to that. I rooted my SGS two years ago first time to freeze/uninstall bloatware and to ban some apps from net usage, or to limit its net usage to WiFi only (by the use of Titanium Backup and DroidWall, respectively).
Unfortunately, DroidWall needs the root all time while running, otherwise, I'd unroot device as soon as I finished cleaning.

I first rooted my LG GT540 so that I could flash a CM7 port, best choice I ever made.
Now I use it for Titanium, root explorers, adfree, getRIL , fasterGPS, multi window control and to obsessively flash roms mainly.
I need to download GoogleServicesFramework.apk - in an attempt to load GooglePlayStore on my unrooted phone.
I realize that I must search before asking a question, but it is the searching that has caused me to ask this question.
Are there different version of this for each version of Android? I have found literally hundreds of versions of this file, all with different file sizes, which causes me some concern when it comes to downloading and installing.
Where might I go to find a safe, secure version of this for my phone?
Galaxy S3 GTI9300
Andriod 4.11
Kernel 3.0.31-457037
Hmm unrooted galaxy s3 should have it preloaded. I think you'd want it installed as a system app as well.
I suggest flashing a rom from sammobile which will all have the apk in question
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda premium
It's not preloaded in every nation.
I don't want to have to flash my ROM just to get this to work. Right now I just want to know where a safe version of this file exists, and if they are different for each version of Android. If I went the way of flashing my ROM, not only would I be in the same situation trying to find the right ROM, but I would have the added paranoia of screwing up the phone for good.
Hmm.. no google play on an android phone? Is that possible?
Anyhow I can copy you mine if you want but mines 4.1.2.. as for flashing a rom, flashing a i9300 firmware won't screw your phone.

Again, it does not come preloaded in every country. Here in China, it is not preloaded. I have a genuine Samsung Galaxy S3, but because of the tift that has been going on between the Chinese government and Google, it is not preloaded. It is irritating as heck to be forwarded to GooglePlayStore for every app I wish to download, only to have to sit here in Chinese sites downloading questionable secondhand apps off of their bogus app markets. You would think that Google would enjoy having 1.3 billion customers. Maybe they can't preload it, but they should at least make it an option to download. (Yes, I realize that the PlayStore app is downloadable, but it will not run on the phone unless it is either rooted, and or the right apk files are loaded.
So... I need to get the files so that I can load it on this phone.
Flashing is something I am not really about to do, considering that I would have difficulty in finding a GENUINE one that has both Chinese IME AND Google, since it isn't preloaded to begin with. (Which is another reason I have not rooted the phone - I'm terrified of ending up with a mismash of European/American and lose the Chinese that I need.
I'm simply looking for the apk file, and an answer to the question of: are their different ones for different version of Android.
If it doesn't come preloaded, there won't be a "correct" version for your phone.
I'm attaching the link for mine. You'll most likely have to root your phone so you can move the apk to your system/app. But I'll leave that up to you.

I know that you need root with adb too (someone correct me if im wrong).
You can disable or "uninstall" them by going to Settings > App > App which you want and click on disable/uninstall. But the apks will still be in phone, so they still use some internal memory.

If you want to completely remove bloatware apps from your device then you have to root your device and then use apps like lucky patcher or titanium backup for removing apps. Disabling the apps will not remove them so they are still consuming storage space. So disabling is not very useful.
Why do you refrain from rooting your device??

this is my first android smartphone, i have just jumped the ship from windows phone. Its too early for me to get into rooting and side loading custom ROMs ( its only been 1 week with the new device), though i know the procedure but i am satisfied with what the device has to offer. the only pain in the arse are the bloatwares which holds nearly 500mb of internal space.
also its sad we cant make sdcard as adoptable storage in j500f , otherwise it would have been awesome.
if you suggest rooting is there an app for j500f to be rooted by one click, chain fire bricked my device as the version was old , for the device. also i did root my device earlier but with twrp and supersu which is just too mcuh of work .
also what apps would be best to uninstall bloat wares completely? also can i get a list of bloatwares present in j500f? i need my android clean and free form samsung products. :fingers-crossed:

I understand since its a new phone you are reluctant to root it. But if you want to root it then you can root it with Systemless root flashable zip with the help of twrp. I know it is a lot of work but at present there is no app which can root MM in one click. So systemless root is the best option. If you want i can give you the link of the latest systemless root which will not at all brick your device as i have tested it myself.
No. of bloatware app depends on the country to which your rom belongs for example Indian rom has more bloatware apps as compared to other countries. Your's is of which country??After knowing this i will be able to make a list.

Stable Systemless root zip link -
https://plus.google.com/+LucaDAlba/posts/a4PyLqWARsv
Just download the zip file and flash it through twrp. After flashing the supersu app will appear in the app drawer. The supersu app should appear in the app drawer, if it does not it means something is wrong but most probably it should not happen if you do all the things correctly. If you have any doubt ask me.
Dear xda community, I'm trying to fix my mother's samsung J500FN (6.0.1) and would be willing to root it in order to gain more internal storage space and/or get rid of the bloatware .... A 64 gb micro sd xc is ready to go! I realize that TWRP and SuperSU are useful tools. Do I have to install both to get started? What else should I have installed beforehand? I'm asking because at the moment there's less than 500 mb available. Which custom rom would you recommend? Do I root first and install the rom later? Is there a step-by-step manual I could follow? A nice and easy, user friendly rom would be great as my mom is 75 but delighted to use social media to keep in touch with her family ...
Any help is greatly appreciated - thank you!

Firstable start downloading odin for your pc. Then flash twrp on your phone with odin.
Flash SuperSU with twrp and i would suggest not flashing custom roms but you can always try Cyanogen Rom.
And with root just install an app which can remove any app and there you go! Hope i helped you xD
