Hi I am new to android after years of using iOS. I am interested in rooting my device but I can't find any info on doing so. I'm not sure what gen it is either. I believe it is gen 10. Does anyone have any advice on finding a root? Cheers
same here
Dear humans,
I have this device and found that there is little support for it. Or I might be looking into wrong sections
If anyone has knowledge of rooting this device, please let us know. I really wanted to install some apps that can help it perform better. It goes so slow when apps are installed or just general internet browsing.
Thanks

Hi everyone,
I've been looking into getting into the Android Smartphone family for a while now and recently picked up the Sony xperia X10 from Rogers.
Id like to help out with development on this phone but I understand we have yet to crack the bootloader in order to run our own custom rom, if Im not mistaken the problem that we are facing right now is finding a way to crack the 1024 bit key used to the sign the original SE rom?
Getting this key would be vital in signing our own version of the rom and tricking the bootloader into letting us through?
I've read about rooting the phone, although I have yet to do it(as im trying to read up on all the current research but there are many threads) before I start trying to develop
I recently graduated with Computer Science and would really like the experience in mobile development, so Im wondering if someone can point me in the right direction maybe a thread I may have missed or overlooked to some tools that can be used into getting any dumps that we need , or a general area to start reading and feeling out the lower levels of this phone.
At any rate id definitely like to try to contribute to a solution, maybe even help in finding an alternate way in booting a custom rom
Thanks in advance

Hello,
When you say you would like some experience in mobile development, do you mean specifically low level stuff like cracking or circumventing the bootloader, or general android development including apps?
If you are interested in programming on the android platform, heres a great resource:

Hi James,
Yes I do mean helping with cracking/circumventing the bootloader, I can do android app development with minimal problems as I do a lot of java projects for my current job and so I've been playing around in the android platform and seem to have gotten the hang of things pretty well but that site will be an excellent resource thanks.
Im just going through the custom dev link before your post, trying to see where I can start poking around for the bootloader
Hey, all.
I have created a blog to keep track of my progress on building Android 2.2 for the Nook Simple Touch.
Although you may or may not be interested in this specific device, I could use your insights from experience with other devices!
Thanks in advance for the info here and in the university. I am sure it will be very helpful.
just picked one up myself, if you are really going to build something i will be happy to test.

Hello everyone,
At first, as a new member, let me congratulate you for this amazing forum and the community that is built around it. A lot of useful and interesting stuff can be found here, and I know that it takes a lot of hard work to boost and maintain a forum to this high-quality level, create a community and share knowledge, so thank you for that and keep up the good work.
To get to the point, I recently became the owner of a Google Nexus 5 and 3 days ago I upgraded the preinstalled Android 4.4 to Android 5.0. Before that, I used a Nokia N900 phone with Maemo 5 and ArchLinux (desktop Linux Distribution), and this Nexus became my introduction to the Android operating system for the first time.
So as a newbie to Android, I want to ask toy a few questions on how to make some things done.
While I had my Android rooted before, after the upgrade it probably needs rooting again, so I'd be grateful if someone points out a link to a tutorial that describes this process. I also need to install an anti-theft application, and from what I've seen, Cerberus just does what I want, but I need to install it in a way that even if someone restored the phone to its default settings or even format it, the application woud stay in place. From what I've read, it is possible, right? I don't know how, maybe it has something to do with the ROM, which brings me to my next question. Custom ROMs, what are they? How do they get installed and which one do you suggest for Nexus 5?
As for now, those are my questions. I know that I could use Google to find out more about those stuff, but I really want to learn how they work, not just how to accomplish them, and all my searches in Google result in different ways to achieve the same thing, a fact that confuses me instead of teaching me stuff. That's why I ask here.
So, if anyone could point out some links or explain to me how to do the things I want, I'd be very grateful.
Also, besides all those things, any suggestions you might have of any nature, I'd be glad to hear them and they'll be much appreciated!
Than you very much in advance. I appologize to the forum and its moderators if I posted this in a wrong category or broke any rule. I assure you that if I did, it was not intetional.
Best regards,
Elias
Should I post this over to the Google Nexus 5 forums?
[SOLVED]
Ok, after a lot of reading, I finally understood the whole concept of ROMs and Recovery.
For anyone having trouble with his first steps on those issues as well, the following links would be very useful:

How to root xperia z4 tablet ?
.
Got my wifi xperia z4 tablet, looking for root it too!
http://forum.xda-developers.com/search.php
@DHGE,
Sorry mate but there are many people out there having had the only 'one-click root method' experience (like myself) and would kindly like somebody to explain the whole process in basics since it involves uploading a custom kernel yet without a stable-working Recovery which is, by the most, still considered as of moderate difficulty process, though.
And keeping on referring to the XDA search engine page is not really something professional.
Thanks.
Since in your signatyure you say you have a z4 tablet, why don't you link the root tutorial insteaf of joking with the search link? We all use the search lin, and what we got are just ports, skin, themes, mods for other models.
So if you are rooted please tell us how, if you are not let me say it's no funny to have a tablet were you can't restore your data...pretty unuseful...
after 80 post, this is the most intelligent one he's able to wrtie.
THANK YOU very much, this is the real spirit of the board... :-/
Morning guys,
I would like to know if some of you experts can help me.
Resuming, I have an Archos 50c Platinum (I know it's an old mobile phone lol), and it has Android version 5.1.
Despite that I went to Archos website looking for an upgrade for it and I ended up "hiting a wall" with no results.
I know a lot about desktops and laptops but to be honest with you guys mobile phones is something that is competly out of my comfort zone.
So, the question is simple, how do I upgrade my mobile from 5.1 version to a higher version?
What do I need to do? Root? if root is necessary what free software is the best to do it? what files should I get to install on my mobile?
What are the steps?
I know, too many questions, but I'm actually completely lost regarding this.
I read several articles, and websites, and watched videos etc etc and the truth is there's so many diferent ways to do the same thing that I prefer to ask "who actually knows" how things should be done properly than "fishing around". That's why I'm here though.
Any help would be great.
Thanks guys
