Well, It's 2.1 currently. Also look at my "R4A024", I searched that but theres others which appears.
Mind linking me to the thread to do the rooting? Has to be compatible with R4A024.

F^&k me. If it bricks you'll just need to reflash You could have tried it and reflashed if you'd have to by now.

I'm trying to help you help yourself. A thread full of posters reporting no issues should be enough to show you it's a decent and safe app. The worst that will happen is you'll have to reflash, so make sure you're backup just in case, but how many users in that thread have claimed they've had to.

Alright I assume it works then, how to back the current device up + after rooting can you get free paid apps?

You're the type of person who shouldn't be rooting their phone in the first place... You didn't search very hard at all...
And no, rooting does not give you "free" apps. It suddenly doesn't make the Market free, or unlock your phone. Rooting gives applications access to the operating system. e.g. tether, Titanium Backup, etc.
Use Titanium Backup to save all your apps & data.
Ah thanks, the main stuff is more controll after rooting + themes.

[Q] Another hboot 1.5 downgrade question !

the guide says you need to be in ADB mode in the shell and gain either temp OR perm root
The only part you need root for is the first step.
Also, please don't make a new thread for every question, just reply here.
If anything, send me a PM with questions.
ok, thanks to both

If you really cant follow the steps in the tutorial i gave you, you probably should NOT try to root as well coz you might end up messing something up. Just an advice.

[Q] Samsung Galaxy S3 Root

I have a Samsung Galaxy S3 with version 4.3 jelly bean and I want to know if this method is legit:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7A5rS4RU-os
I want to root my phone to unlock the sim without paying if its possible, so if anyone knows how can i do it, please post some tutorials that might help me.
Sorry if im repeating threads but i was afraid of following the wrong thread and mess up my phone.
Thanks.
Pay for an unlock code, the free methods don't work anymore.

Can you recommend me any website or app to unlock for the less cost? If its possible i would prefere without rooting.

Thanks but it looks like i need to root my phone first, right? If so can you give me a tutorial?
Thanks.
Rooting is easy you just have to flash CF-AutoRoot into the device using Odin. There are plenty of Tutorials online regarding this.
And as @boomboomer said the free methods don't work so don't rely on them.

[Q] Help unroot can't root again!

Hey guys, I have a little problem I tried to find the solution in other posts, but I didn't found it, so this is my last hope... I hope you can help me.
So I have an Asus Memo Pad HD7, and I rooted it using framaroot 1.9.3, then one day it appeared a firmware actualization in my notification bar, I updated NY android and then after some days I just wanted to check if the unroot option in the framaroot worked, well my mistake it worked to well, after I clicked I rebooted and them the supersu was gone and I had unrooted tablet again, but when I tried to root again it told me it was rooted and then after reboot it wasn't... I can't root it again
The weird part is that recently I made another firmware actualization and supersu appeared magically in my phone, I tried to start it, but it showed an error saying my phone was unrooted... then I uninstalled supersu and tried to root again, but I can't...
Please help!
P.s: I didn't instal any rooms and I already tried factory reset in settings.
P.s.s: The weirdest part is that people say they unrooted to do a firmware update, while I did it with my rooted tablet. And Avast says my device is running in high privilege mode, but Root Checker says it's not.
Please any help will be appreciated!
Without knowing which firmware you are on now, it's not really possible to tell you how to reroot correctly.

My android is 4.2.2, my kernel version 3.4.5 and my model name is ME173X. I can't find the firmware though, the best I found is this: Camera firmware: 80000 and Build Number: ME173X_WW_user_4.2.4.04152_20140714 release-keys.

Recovery + SuperSU zip or custom rooted stock rom will probably be the way to go.

Sorry, I don't have a lot of experience with android devices so, I hate to say it, I'm kind of noob on that. Can you please help me with a tutorial explaining how to do that?
Thank you very much
Framaroot uses a bug to get Root access and root the Device.Maybe the update has been fixed.Try to downgrade your Software and root again.

I don't have the device, so I can't really help directly, but I mean, there's a picture guide with stuff circled that you need to do. If it's too complicated then it would be wise to invest in having a qualified shop or tech to help.

How is downgrading any easier than the root guide for the current version you're on...?
I think rooting via Fastboot is safer than framaroot.

I provided the link to what you need already. It's on the 2nd post of the thread. It has a step by step with pictures. You need to unlock the bootloader and install the custom recovery so you can install the superuser zip. If you can't follow the picture guide, then you should really enlist the help of someone who does this for a living since this is your only tablet and are very unsure of yourself.

I reread everything and I think I now understand what I need to do. Correct me if I'm wrong: unlock the bootloader, flash the custom recovery and Install supersu.zip. Can you tell me how I install the supersu.zip?
Thanks for everything.
