[Q] cant root or do anything with my streak

I own the original US beta streak given out at the run on congress ave
its running:
baseband: GAUSB1A110100
kernal: 2.6.29-perf
Build: 3562
I've tried to look up information on this build and nothing seems to be available
I was wondering if anyone could provide some help as to how to root my device
...anyone?
Hi tragicxtacie
Have you tried Androot that is here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=750085
Really easy and simple although it may say failed first time so just try again and it should work and seriously you can't expect an answer within 33minutes especially not at the weekend you need little more patience then that.

Hey dogmann,
Sorry about the impatience it's just this is the first android device ive owned and can't root. I have tried androot and it does give me the error message, so I try again and it says it's successfully rooted but when I open superuser it crashes on me. And I also installed the wifi tether (not sure if it's supported for 1.6 on the streak) and it says that there's parts from the kernel that are missing for it to work
I was also wondering if someone could give me a little more insight on the build which is very different from all the numbers I've seen.
Can anyone help....?

[Q] Can anyone help me out, please?

Hello!
I have recently bought HTC Desire HD, branded with T-Mobile logo on startup and bloatware, but otherwise unlocked (no sim-lock, no network lock), and I did a terrible mistake and updated it from 2.1 I think, to 2.2 and then to 2.3, software number 2.37. Now I want to root it and install custom rom and I realize that it will be much more complicated since I now need to create a goldcard and then downgrade. I read all the threads about downgrading and temp-root and goldcards and I'm asking, if anyone can help me out here by just being online on Skype when I'm doing this, because there will be questions and something can always go wrong and I don't want to wait hours or days for somebody to just tell me "your question has already been answered, use the search option". So if anyone who has already rooted a phone, preferably several times, preferably a branded phone and with 2.37 software, I would greatly appreciate it. I'm not a newbie in computers, also used to work on web design and I'm currently a photographer residing in Tallinn, Estonia, so nice to meet you fellow XDA member who is willing to help me out. I can donate some money, if everything goes well, that is not a problem at all.
rooted and flashed CM7 nightly, thanks to HTC Inspire/DHD Hack Kit V12.3 and fellow friends here on XDA!

New to android

I have a Lenovo vibe x2, i used to have windows-phones but since my last one got stolen i thought i would try androids out. Lenovo has now updated vibe X2 to the lollipop upgrade and i can't find a video or anything that will help me root my device.
Plus i have some questions about rooting an android :
1st. does it worth to do so ?
2nd. What will i get from rooting my phone
3rd. Is it dangerous cause my phone might bug and what will i need to do if that happens ?
I would really appreciate someone answering those questions and helping me with the root.
(a trustful guide and trustful files will do just great, i am computer experienced enough to make it through it's just some fears i need to "extinguish" )

I found this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yUGYK0tarBE
Although the title says Android 5.0 Lollipop but we can clearly see throughout the video that the guy is running android 4.4.2. Anyway, I've never heard of/tried kingroot so I can't be sure if its legit or not but you can give it a try.
And as for your questions:
1. Root is NOT a necessity. You can use google search to know about it and decide yourself.
2. Again you can find this by a google search.
3. There is always a risk when you mod your phone. Incase you somehow manage to brick it by that simple tutorial, I guess your device would have some stock firmware online which you can download and reflash by some kind of flashtool to restore to stock.

Newbie. Questions about my Samsung Galaxy Tab E lite tablet

Hi, everyone. I'm new to the forums and am looking for a little insight on my device. I've been interested in rooting android devices for a long time and have successfully done so on a few occasions. I've used poot, kinoroot, androot and some others that escape me right now.
I have a Samsung Galaxy Tab E lite...
Model: SM-T113
Android Version: 4.4.4
I've accessed the developer options and enabled USB debugging...
It's unrooted right now... I have a pc laptop to do USB debugging if need be...
What i'm wanting to do guys is get the most out of my tablet by rooting and flashing for better ROM, this way I can learn and at the same time optimize my device to its fullest potential while also engaging in this new online community. The only problem I have is the reason I just cant out-right experiment with my tablet and which is why I've come here to you tech-gurus for help...
I CANNOT brick my tablet. It was a gift from my brother and the first one he bought me I accidently bricked by not doing enough research while trying to root it. He returned it and bought me an even nicer one then told me specifically not to try and ROOT it...
haha.. he should've known better.
So if anyone has an advice or keen insight on all the necessary steps to backing it up, rooting it, and maybe even doing whatever it takes to flash more ROM... I would highly appreciate it. I apologize if this new thread angers anyone.
Many thanks and I look forward to learning from you all.
