my HTC Hero unlocked will be arriving today. ive been searching and researching on how to update to a new rom. im confused, i see people say you should use nandroid for back up to revert to factory settings before i root then install the new rom.
would someone be kind enough to point me in the right direction on how to do this in the right procedure
thanks ^_^
Hi, I followed the instructions on this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=553534
I purchased the Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 4G from Bell yesterday. As well, yesterday I bricked it. I blame myself for not reading enough on the device. I assumed the wifi root process was the same.
Today I got it replaced. I noticed that the model number for the Bell version of the Tab 10.1 is GT-P7500M.
Can anyone confirm which method I should use to root this device? And hopefully get CWM working as well.
I have searched the forum, and google to find an answer specific for Bell, but with no success.
Thanks

Bassboy_pete. I just got a Bell 4G GT 10.1 also. Did you ever figure out how to root the GT-P7500M?
Could you let me know i've been looking everywhere for this info and all google brings up are your posts.
i have the same model. rooted. Bell is no different.
Google [root galaxy 10.1] and you should find how. Very easy.
I've followed read this entire thread. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1171089 and read the 30+ pages somewhere in there someone who had a rogers 4G model said the 3G method worked. I also read somewhere else on XDA that a guy with the Bell GT-P7500M tried the 4G method and made the device a paper weight. I also really want to backup this device before a mess with anything but as far as all my research i am doing CWR is the way to back it up.
yours or anyone help is appreciated. Not looking for a handout on what to do step by step just a push in the right direction. I won this device and want to keep using it but some things piss me off about the Bell version (really must GPS Nav have to stay on the device) also can't just return it to bell if i brick it since i won it and don't have a reciept.
UPDATE, Just did the CWM Recovery. Worked great. Just finished a backup. I'll try the 3G root as mentioned in this post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1312538 then i'll update again.
Not bad for my first Droid Device just got it 3 days ago.
UPDATE: Used the 3G method for GTP97500M (Bell Mobility) works great.
also plunged in thinking I had read enough and not fully understanding all the variants, so ended up following some of the root instructions posted on xda which did not work.
Solution was this thread for Team Overcome
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1275751
which has a stock restore, the correct odin and bootloader files and then both the Overcome Rom and a CWM zip.
All installed nicely, system rooted and custom rom installed.
I am on Rogers with the Tab 10.1 and my Galaxy S is on Bell.
I then flashed the OC kernel from doridbasement which also works fine -- just catch which version you are on
anyways, early days but these did work, others did not for me
hey guys. i need help unrooting at&t's galaxy s2 because im going to go in there sometime today and return it. does anyone help me out?
I'd recommend reading Entropy's thread below and following the procedure to return the phone to stock without rooting it.

Hi, I just bought a HTC Raider - from Bell Mobility (Canada) and I need to revert it back to the stock firmware, currently on Virtuous Inquisition v4.0.2.1
I have no idea where to even start, I have read a bunch of "walkthroughs" on this forum but most of it was lost on me, ie. no idea what rooted is, or kernal is; so thinking it maybe easier just to ask for help.
I have managed to find the stock firmware here hopefully someone will be able to walk me through, or show me which guide to follow (I have read a few guides and none of them seem to have a similar processes)
Thanks in advance
I don't know if anyone has made a post about it yet, but I've been searching how to root my phone and I've only seen how to unlock it, people using KingRoot (just bricks it and I've successfully un-softbricked it), or rooting it for another version thats not the one I have. I haven't seen anything on rooting this version so for future references I hope this post will help people with the same question. Dunno if that effects it but just in case you needed to know I have metro-pcs and after unbricking it I used a t-mobile firmware so it has all the animations and t-mobile apps. All I need to know is if its even possible to root it.
how did u un-brick it I just bricked mine the same way you did an cant find anyway to un-brick it please email me ASAP!!!!!! [email protected]
