Hello from Edmonton Canada Everyone! This form is fantastic. Lots of info.
I do have a few questions though.
My phone currently runs 1.6 and is very slow, choppy and glitchy. I think the fix is to root and install a different Firmware or kernal or rom, get 2.1 or somethin. I also hope this will get ride of all the apps, and brand apps that come with the phone. Is this the right path?
Do I have to get the phone unlocked to do this. Or is unlocking just allow you to insert any sim card. I am currently locked to Rogers. It seems I can't do anything with a different sim card in the phone, or no sim card. Anyway around this. Will I need to have my rogers card in to root the phone?
Hii welcome. I'm new too! and from Canada
Hello and welcome new guys
If you want to get the best from your phone yes you sill need to root it but first thing you both should do is update to android 2.1 just download Sony Ericson PC companion and let it guide you through the process. And when you get bored of that there is plenty of custom roms to try out. When you feel brace enough you will everything you need to know in the guide from my signitiure just bear in mind any roms based android 2.2 or higher probably wont have a camera and just to let you guys know that Sony wont update your phone past 2.1, its official. Anyway have fun and enjoy the forum, its a great place to learn ;-)

Sweet! finally, I see another Edmontonian....welcome man!
Root your phone first, clean the junk,,install busybox from the market, then install xrecovery, then install JIT v2.
Of course, all the threads you need are in the development section.
Any help, just pm me.

Hey guys! 404 here!
I have some questions that I would like answered because I'm pretty weary on the idea of rooting. I understand that there is so many benefits of rooting a phone but these questions may seem strange but I guess I was taught to ask before I do.
If I were to root my phone on one carrier on the Galaxy S2 that I have currently with one company still in a plan, would I be able to insert another carriers SIM card whilst the phone has been rooted simply because what I thought is that the phone would be locked to that sim that was is in the phone being rooted.. Also, I forgot to mention. Would there be any other hazards such as that if I root the phone?
If I am able to root the phone and insert any SIM card into the phone at a later stage, could anyone provide me with a tutorial on how to root and unroot the Galaxy S2.
Thanks.

1. Rooting and unlocking are different things. But yeah you can unlock your device after you root it.
2. There are lots of tutorials on how to safely root.
3. It's really easy to unroot. You go to www.sammobile.com, download the firmware you want and flash through Odin.
4. Any other questions don't hesitate to ask.

Hey all,
--hoping I'm posting in the correct section--
Recently I happened to acquire a galaxy S3 i9300T (australian) from a friend who didn't need it any more, with 4.1.2 jellybean installed on it.
Specifically the vodafone DUEMB1 version/build from Thailand. I'm living in Southern Europe though.
I hope it doesn't matter much, even if it's the Australian model of the phone.
It seems to already be network-unlocked.
I was wondering if someone could point me in the right direction since I'm mainly interested in rooting it.
Mainly for the super user rights (all folder access) and to be able to run applications such as titanium backup. It's all that matters to me for easy backup.
I saw in one thread that there is the Chainfire CF-auto root that is supposed to make this very easy.
Is it compatible with the version and build I have though? Or should I first install another stock rom version or something?
Also last question. After the root, is it mandatory to install anything else or is the phone good to go ?
Thanks in advance and sorry if a question seems silly, I'm kinda new to this.

Chainfire CF auto root will be easy to follow as it was the first rooting method i did with my Galaxy S3 Australian model. Good luck!

Alright, ladies and gentleman, I have an issue that most of you will know way better then me how to fix because I have not a clue.
I have a Verizon Galaxy S3 that I would like to use a local SIM card in for international use, however I have run into the issue of it not being able to work and I'm told its because I need to upgrade Android. I'm running 4.0.4 and it is rooted. I guess I need the latest update... However I'm deployed to Afghanistan so using data is out, and the internet is very spotty. So my question would be, what is the best way to go about updating? and would that solve my issue? Also, will I have to unroot to upgrade, and how do I get root back?
You don't have an i9300, so nothing here can help you.

Whitch option in ODIN 3.10.6 after OTA update problem?

for anyone else who is having issues, if you use the bundled 3.07 that seems to not work. I downloaded 3.10.6 and was able to get it to work on my edge using the 920 file.

Hello,
I have a Samsung Galaxy 6 Edge
Model SM-G925F
Android version 5.0.2
Baseband version G925FXXU1AOCW
Kernel version 3.10.61-4497415
Build number LXR22G.G925FXXU1AOCV
and I would like to root it with CF Autoroot.
I'm not an Android specialist and even the vocabulary is sometimes mysterious to me, so please excuse my naive questions.
The first one is : the phone has received a new software update which is awaiting me to install it, but I haven't done that yet because I saw on the CF Autoroot site that the root for G925F was based on build LRX22G.G925FXXU1AOCV, which I currently have...
So the question is : is it a problem to have the new update (approximately 160Mb I think) pending? Will the root succeed with this pending update?
Second question :
Also, I tried to disable two processes which were called "Software update".
I could only disable one of them (Software Update, 1.59MB size), the other one (Software Update, 19MB size) has its options greyed out and I can't use them.
Is this a problem? Should I re-enable the "Software update" process before rooting?
Third question : what are the consequences of the root?
Will the phone still receive the Samsung updates? I guess that if the answer is yes, updating will remove the root, is this right?
In that case, if I want to keep the root, how can I stop all updates, which currently are pushed to the phone... and that I couldn't stop, cf. question 2.
And, fourth question: after rooting based on the mentionned build, will there be new "roots" for this model, based on newer stock firmware? (so that the phone can receive useful Samsung updates)
Again, sorry for my silly questions, I did read the whole thread, but... I don't get all the subtle "evident" specialist stuff, and I'd like to avoid bricking the phone if possible
Thanks for your answers and help in explaining things to me!

I do believe that when rooting your S6 you will trip the KNOX counter resulting in void warranty and inability to receive official updates. Check out this http://www.kingoapp.com/help/samsung-knox-counter.htm

thank you for any help
If I'm on 5.0.2 and flash 5.1.1 without the new f**** bootloader(and probably modem so as to have signal) through flashfire, will I be able to use cf-root after this??
Or it s a matter of kernel as well?
Of course it will trip knox, right?

So finally cf-root keeping current binary official even with knox 0x1 is not going to happen on 5.1.1??
