First off newbie alert,
i actually did root my xperia mini last year but its been a year and i have forgotten completely about it.
I am facing continuous restarts so i am looking to root my phone. I also want to get rid of sense (but thats after rooting, right?)
Please refer me to some easy guide( guides on xda are mind boggling) or tell me manually about it..
i came across this one click root method too but i am suspicious as i WOULDN'T want to BRICK my device.
My software versions are,
ICS OPERATING SYSTEM
CID- HTC_038 (INDIA)
SOFTWARE NUM. - 1.18.720.3
SDK API LEVEL - 4.24
HTC EXTENSION VERSION - HTCEXTENSION_403_1_GA_24
KERNEL - [email protected]#1 SMP PREEMPT
baseband version - 10.21.40.06U_1.12.40.03
Again i don't know much about these numbers except for software version..
Thank you

Try to narrow down on why the phone's getting restarted. It could be faulty hardware.
I dont think the Software is that buggy to trigger random reboots.
Did you try factory reset.?
If you unlock and root, your warranty is void.
I think you seriously need to consider replacing the phone on warranty.

it is not restarting continuously, but few times a day when i am not using it or it is charging .its a very quick kind of restart.
i have not rooted it yet. the problem did not happen for first 4 months of the phone and its been 45 days with the problem.
i upgraded my software 2 times from 1.18.401 to 1.18.720
i called HTC, they said it had something to do with flashing the ROM
Then wait for few more days may be jellybean update solve this, if not then you can try custom roms.

Hi, I'm new to this website and was wondering if you can help me. Ive got an android phone with FROYO 2.2. Ive search all over the internet for custom ROMs and updates for my phone but no luck. By the way, my phone is called Cherry Mobile Candy.

If I'm missing something please feel free to suggest anything. I really want to try out some custom roms for my phone or updates to boost it up. Thank you.
I don't think you can find any custom ROM for this device, it's a low category Android Phone. But the best quality of Android it's his portability, so you can try to give some informations on porting Android for this device.
Yes your'e right its a low end phone. What benefits i can get if do that Android porting your'e saying?
so can i get an update with this phone?
Porting is a sort of manual building of a ROM for your device. For example my Gio support Gingerbread but not ICS officially, but there are guys that are working on the source of ICS and build the ROM for my device.
Android is open - source, so anyone can do this, whit the right skills.
Hey men, i really need your help!!. So this is how it goes,
Ive Downloaded Rom Manager. ive explored all of its contents, and i bumped to this Boot into recovery option. I tap it without knowing what will it do to my phone. Then the recovery screen appears, i scrolled down to clear all caches and then i choose yes, my phone turns on with no problem, But the thing is when i slide the unlock panel to unlock my phone, i just see a complete black screen, with the notification bar,(with time and the signal indicator) im not sure what to do with this.
As i search through the internet, my phone is not yet bricked, It can boot up to recovery mode, and the test mode. The dumbest decision ive made though, i did not make any backup of my system.
can you help me,sir? thank you,
Try factory resetting the phone.

Greetings! I've recently acquired an unwanted Motrola Atrix 4G and I'm wanting to upgrade it to the latest version of Android. Here's the tricky part - it's a Canadian (BELL) phone with an inactive SIM, and I'm not too sure what has actually been installed on it.
As far as I can tell, the previous user has 'Greyblurred' the device (See Here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1070076) and flashed it with the custom SBF linked in the thread.
How would I go about updating the phone to Gingerbread? Is an OTA update possible without bricking it?
I should mention that this is my first smart phone, though I quite familiar with the terminology and it's applications. Just a nudge in the right direction would be fantastic.
Here's the system information, if it's of any help:
Code:
System Version: Version 4.2.1.1.MB860.Retail - Blurred
Model Number: MB860
Android Version: 2.2.2
Baseband Version: N_01.92.00R
Motorola Webtop Version: OSHWT_U1_6.54.0
Kernel Version: 2.6.32.9
[email protected] #1
SMP PREEMPT Thu Apr 28 22:58:25 CST 2011
Build Number: OLYEM_U4_2.1.1 - GreyBlurred
Thank you kindly in advance - any help is appreciated!
So it's been almost a year and I figured I'd give this a bump rather than create a new thread. Does anyone have even a whiff of a suggestion? Thank you kindly, in advance.
Okay, I must say I'm quite surprised. Even after almost a year you still haven't been able to research this on your own?
This forum is crammed with various detailed tutorials and guides, that should be enough to get anyone started...
The most obvious first step would be to determine if the phone shows "Unlocked" while booting and/or has a custom recovery installed.

The phone does not say unlocked. However, it does have CWM installed.
I have read through every tutorial. The issue isn't determining how to get the phone flashed to a newer ROM, it's the fact that it has a unique SBF's on it, and I am unable to receive OTA updates (though that's obvious). I'm wanting to simply upgrade it to the newest version without bricking it.
Since it dealt with flashing an SBF that has since been unsupported, I figured I should ask first, before going ahead and fiddling on my own.
Also, it being a BELL model it all the more frustrating!
(And, I am unable to take it to a BELL service store/send it in etc. since I am in Sweden.)
You have CWM. You have absolutely no need to touch a SBF ever again.
Just flash a ROM through CWM. There is no way to brick the phone that way.
All CWM-flashable ROMs work on all devices.
Hi there everybody. I apologize if I am going to ask a question which has been already answered, but looking at the other threads did not help me.
I want to root my tablet S, it has been updated some days ago, and currently it is:
Android 4.0.3 (release2a)
KERNEL: 2.6.39.4 [email protected] #1
Can i root? and if yes, how?
The bloatwares and ads cripple my battery, and i want to squeeze more power from it.
Thank you in advance

Unfortunately, no. You cannot root your tablet's Android 4.0.3 (release2a).
Will it be possible in the future? I mean, is anyone working on it?

Only a prophet will tell you what the future will bring. All I will say is I have seen people saying they are or will be working on rooting the unrootable versions of Android used on Sony's tablets or better yet, unlocking their bootloaders. My own efforts towards those goals have so far met with brick walls. My current efforts involve discovering the methods used by Sony's technical service for restoring a tablet back to factory condition with a rootable version of Android installed.

To the best of my knowledge, releases 1a and 2a were issued simultaneously and are virtually identical but for different regions.

This thread is old. The new root method mentioned all over general forum will work. Still lost... see my faq in signature
I found this thread with google when I tought that the root of my version was not possible: I have tried with this method:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...6#post33470626
but the root didn't happen.
I have followed all the steps in the video, everything was ok untill the part when it says to type \data\local\tmp\onload.sh .
The problem was that the tablet didnt show automatically the terminal screen.
So I unlocked the tablet, nothing was showed, I found anyway the app "terminal", I launched it, in the blue screen I typed the first sentence ( \data\local....) there was a lot of error messages after pressing enter, I anyway tried to put even the second sentence, a lot of errors, so when I pressed any key to conitnue in cmd the method said "ok you are rooted have fun" but there was no root anyway,
It wiped all the application, even Play Store app has been wiped....I had to make a factory restore....
So my question now is: which method do you think is suitable for my version? Manual?
Thanks
Hi every, I'll adquire a used Samsung Galaxy SIII (it's used but it's new). This phone was buyed in 05/2012 so its been a while since was buy. I've installed eMMC checker software from Play eMMC and get this info Type: VTU00M, FwRev: 0xf1, when I go to Android properties I see the following: Android Version: 4.1.2, Baseband Version: I9300UBELL1, Compile Number: JZO54K.I9300IBEMA1 now, can this phone die and become unusable? Can I install any 4.2.1 based root for example Vanilla Root that I like and my phone will not die? Can I root without any fear?
Cheers
All modern roms for the S3 aswell as the JB bootloader have the Sudden-Death fix. So it's less reliant on which hardware you got than on which software.

What did you mean with "So it's less reliant on which hardware you got"? what things about hardware did you need to know in order to tell me if my phone will die or not. Also I'm thinking on install this ROM: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2128928 or this another one http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1898798 so how do I know if Sudden-Death fix is include in those ROM?
So i am trying to root my verison J320 phone, and im having a couple issues, for one i cannot find a stock rom with the correct build number, always has a PP in the middle or doesnt end with PL1, so i am uncertain what stock rom will be safe to grab, and i dont want to experiment with rooting it to much untill i have a solid stock rom, i found one that might be correct but it was a zip folder and i p much have to work with odin. any rate if anyone could provide me with a link to the correct stock rom that would be awesome, also if anyone knows a posible root option for this that would be nice, have tried king and kingo root both PC and Android version, havent even wasted my time trying framaroot because it has never worked for any phone i have ever owned, i found a CF autoroot for the SM-J320R4, but again not really wanting to gamble on that working untill i at least have a solid stock rom for backup
No heckling about me being stupid enough to buy a verison phone when i basically require root, i know it was stupid, i live in an area where verison is the only reliable carrier so my options are VERY limited here, i have been using phones with no signal in half the places i go for a year and im sick of it, so i want to make this bastard work.
i dont mind custom OS, hell i love custom OS, so that is also an option, my bootloader is locked so odin only please, any workarounds to unlock my bootloader and possibly get rid of knox will also be gladly accepted but unless someone can find me that stock rom i am not gonna test to much as i still owe like... 180$ on this phone

Got it installed, made a call, and worked with T-Mobile. Then went to bed at night and when i woke up it asked to install an update and I hit install. After that it hasn't been able to make any more calls. I did only test that one call. So not entirely sure the update is to blame.
