I recently got a Moto E 2015, and love it as a handset, it does all I want. Except I would like to use IOS emojis rather than the lame Android ones it comes with. Especially for Facebook, Twitter etc. Is there any way of doing this on this handset? Any help gratefully received.
Emoji switcher app?

If you have rooted, you can use the Emoji switcher app form Play Store.
Thanks. The phone isn't rooted. How do I root it and can it harm the phone?

Rooting doesn't harm the phone, as long as you know what you're doing. To know if your phone can be rooted I need to know if your phone is a retail one. If it isn't, it can't be rooted.

I bought it off someone who bought it from a shop a couple of months ago, so that should be alright for rooting, shouldn't it? I have never tried rooting before so would need some guidance.

Hello everyone. I recently bought a galaxy tab 10.1 and I am really satisfied with this device... I really am a newbie with android. ( I was a long year IPHONE user.) I have a question. My Tab is rooted and I want to use a onlinebanking app. Unfortunately it says that my device is rooted and shuts down... Is it possible to bypass this check? I don 't want to unroot my device just because of this one app. I couldn't find anything in google...
Thanks very much

This is kinda out of my league, but did you allow it in the superuser app when it checked for root access? Idk how it knows if you are rooted or not, and i don't think i understand why your bank would give two sh*ts if your device is rooted or not. If you did allow it, try deleting that instance and denying it root access next time.
What app is it? I will play with it and see what it says
Ya that is weird. I have had rooted android devices for over a year and never heard of something not working because a device is rooted. It might be to prevent malware. I would do what the first poster suggested.
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App
I have a Bank of America app and a TD Bank app on my rooted Incredible and my rooted Thunderbolt and use those apps all the time with no problems what so ever.
I have never heard of root check.
Why don't you talk to your bank and see what the problem is.
Thank you all for help but unfortunately superuser doesn't even check this app. It is really strange. I have to tell you that this app is a korean app from citibank and I had the same problem with my iphone when it was jailbroken.... Got a message like "your device is jailbroken. App will shut down..." or something like this...
This is the link to the app. I know everthing is in korean, but maybe one of you might help me out with this one... Isn't there any other way to erase or to block that script. I mean there must be something... In my experience with hacking or modding devices, almost everthing is possible;-)
It would be really really great
Thanks again and greetz from korea
The app is called citi mobile
Yeah, Korean banking apps don't let you use them if your phone is rooted. I worked around the issue by using the Tegrak kernel which lets you root and unroot your phone on the fly, without needing to turn it off. But that's for a GSII...
I don't know if the kernel is going to end up on the GT10.1, but there is at least a known workaround.
On an unrelated note: can you post your tablet version, and the firmware you used when rooting here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1240965 ? Thanks
WOW turning on/off the root sounds great... hope it will work on my gt.
Picked up my Japanese S3 today and looking to root it. I'm reading that using the I9300 is no go since it is a completely different model number. Specs for anyone interested:
Baseband:
SC06DOMLF5
Kernel:

Build:
IMM76D.SC06DOMALF5

The Japanese version doesn't have NFC, only Japan's long-established equivalent.
Anyway, I love the phone, but I can't wait until some of the geniuses on here come up with an easy way to root it.

Negative. Just tried to scan my edy but no joy. My nexus S grabs it fine however. Cannot wait to dump this stupid docomo rom and get a vanilla one on. That or just go back to my Nexus S.
またSC-06DはNFCを搭載していないので、「Android Beam」を拡張したデータ転送機能「S Beam」も利用できない. Yep, no NFC.
SamMobile has a rom out for SC-06D. As soon as the DL finishes gonna give it a go since I tried the I9300 and it just black screens.
i seen that but i was pretty sure that was just the stock rom...which is really helpful if a bad rom is loaded and need to go back to stock...ive downloaded it too and keeping it to the side for emergencies....
The ability to root and throw CyanogenMod 9 on docomo's Galaxy S3 are the two most important factors in whether or not I will buy it in the next couple of months. Can you please keep us updated on your progress, wtfusernameistaken?
Hi all
Just registered to join in on this thread.
This is my first smartphone and was all excited for the s3,
only to be unpleasantly surprised by the docomo palette ui...
I knowledge my noob status, so please be gentle with me.

My honest opinion is that the phone sucks. No NFC, annoying uninstallable apps, battery gets quite warm, camera is meh, Kies is basically iTunes with a different layout. I went back to my nexus S and passed the S3 off to the wife. Tried to get a galaxy nexus but it would seem that it did so bad in Japan that they liquidated their entire stock 3 months ago. Guess I'll just have to wait for the next dev phone.
The rom on sammobile is in fact the stock rom, but good to have in case.
Your first sentence had me dying. Lol I guess that sums it up, though. I guess I'll start preparing to buy a One X, though I think I'm going to attempt to get the AT&T version and have it unlocked, as it seems that model is more liked than the international version. I don't even play Words with Friends, so Tegra 3, Schmegra 3 for all I care.
In my opinion this is a beast of a phone...nfc not there..it maybe just no unlocked..the screen is great..the 2gb is a major factor...the fact it'll be one if few phones to receive the jelly bean update..even the little tv tuner which I'm sure the statewide doesn't have..the massive support for it...the camera is great, even though some might choose a third party app...people are judging the phone after a few days of use...the real beauty and love affair comes after extended use...having all this potential and being a root and or custom Rom away from unleashing it is mouth watering...already my s3 out performs my s2 in every way...and it can only get better...every day I find or notice something about this phone that makes it more and more awesome...give it a chance and don't be so basis guys...

If you lack Japanese skills I would be hesitant to root. Some of the warnings that come up will not be in english. Not to mention that all the development on the root was done by Japanese and the "documentation" will be as well.
This is my first Android device (and my first post )
I found the amount of Samsung and Docomo apps really ridiculous.
I want to get CM9 onto the device, so I can have a completely clean slate with no remnants of all the shovelware. As I'm new, I don't know how yet, but I've found several guides and videos and such for doing it for other devices, even the other versions of the Galaxy S3. Unfortunately I haven't found too much specifically for the Docomo Japan version, so I'm a little hesitant to try anything just yet. Is there anything that makes the Docomo device different from other Galaxy S3's, anything I should look out for?
One thing to note for anyone else who bought it here in Japan at Docomo, by default they automatically sign you up for a ton of their crap, iChannel, BodyMo, etc., and each one costs monthly. They're very easy to forget about. If you go digging through the "my docomo" site, through the customer support stuff, eventually you'll find the options to cancel each of the stuff they signed you up for. They really do make it hard to get to.
I bought my V10 last June and for the first time since my HTC EVO decided that I wouldn't root my phone. I have now come to the conclusion that I need root and after logging in to XDA (after almost a 1 year absence) I see that there's apparently no root for this phone.
Obviously I'm on Verizon - what are my choices for an alternative phone that is in the same class as the V10 but can be rooted? Or is a root solution for the V10 closer at hand?
Albine is almost there. Temporary root has been achieved. It should not be much longer for total root!

Wonder if we could use a similar method. All we really need to do is replace Verizons bootloader with a debug one like that and we'll be golden.

OnePlus 3t
Have you looked at this phone?
I have seen of temp root it works it doesn't work etc...
Partial root only...
Does not survive reboot etc...
But...is it enough root to use debloater to stop ota
Currently debloater does not have proper permissions or something
Does...
Temp root + debloater = no ota
Possibly or no chance
Thanks

Yes if it upgrades to 7.1.1 which they do in the store... Buy it from Google
If I had twrp port it might be easy to root.. Doesn't seem to exist.. I asked for it already on another thread, but no email.. I'm going to reach out to friend on hangouts and see if he feel like making one. He doesn't have this device so I'm not sure if he's interested.. The theory is this simple.. " fastboot boot twrp.img." once booted into twrp, we can flash twrp. Had to do it for my g4 and it works.. Also, I've seen twrp on locked bootloaders so that shouldn't be an issue.. No one's mention anything about that method though..
I think this died. Not complaining but it's been quite a few months since it was announced root was coming.
Good thing I'm rooted on 5.1.1 still. Would love to see root for Marshmallow (or greater) though.
I think Verizon and their hardware vendors should be aware that I will not buy a product or service if I can't have a rooted phone.
Looks like a Google phone next go around, much I don't want to go that route.
Sorry LG; Sorry Samsung. You won't be selling me anything.

I believe the LG V20 is rooted (or at least unlocked)...

Well? After much research I was able to disable bloatware, get YouTube ad free and some more all without root. Honestly? This phone is good enough not to root really. I usually rooted to get a kernel to speed things up and get less lag, amazingly there's no need. Also for Xposed but I also don't see the need. So waiting for something that now I feel is not needed is ok. But having the itch to root will always exist. Lol

I'm on Snapdragon directly from T-mobile in the US.
Very little bloatware installed. And what was there I was able to uninstall easily including Facebook.
This was the first device I've owned that I've been able to do this without root.

I have a question if i was to purchase a Samsiung galaxy s9+ from samsung themselves, will i be able to root the phone at that point.
I have been on iPhone for a long period of time because it is so easy to Jailbreak a phone once the program comes out, its just one click and done. I always recalled android phone goes through steps in order to be rooted, and i do mean really long steps, and the smallest mess up would brick the phone, i know now that the bricking the phone is a lot less likely. But it is still hard to root the phone..
Also back in the day, all android phones can be rooted except for Verizon Android phones. Now all carrier Samsung galaxy phones cant be or takes time to root. things have changed in the community i see.

With iphones you have to jailbreak just to get it semi-useful. My tmo s9+ had hardly anything already on it that wasn't easily removable. No need for root IMO.

Well, the main reason why I want to root is to find a bypass for the tethering. Example: On the iPhone there is a application called (Tetherme) it pretty much bypass the tethering provision so that the hotspot usage shows up as Phone usage not Hotspot usage.
I want to do that on the Samsung Galaxy s9+, I want to use the native tethering connectivity that is on the device and have it show up as phone usage not hotspot usage.
What I'm going to end up doing is selling my phone in order to purchase one directly from Samsung.

Unrooted Moto G Power 2020 North American variant. Considering buying this phone.
I currently have the previous version the Moto G7 Power 2019. Came with Android 9. After the Android 10 update Facebook was installed with it. There was then no way to uninstall or disable Facebook. The only reason I rooted the G7 Power was to get rid of Facebook.
So my question is on an unrooted Moto G Power 2020 North American variant can Facebook be permanently uninstalled or permanently disabled?
Thank you fellow XDAers!
Only disabled unless you root.

Does the disable survive a reboot?
It came preinstalled on mine, but I was able to completely uninstall it right out of the box on the stock ROM. I have model number xt2041-4.
Yeah so I think the Moto G Power XT 2041-4 is retail US retail device. So I should be good without FB without rooting. It just seems the older I get the harder rooting gets at least for me. I swear there was a time I could root my phone by just reading directions & not asking questions. Not anymore.
I wonder if FB will forced onto the G Power 2020 after the Android 11 update. Now I have to find one at a price I'll bite at. Somehow can't stomach the current $220 USD.

Rooting is actually pretty simple on the G Power. Just copy the boot.img to your phone, patch it through magisk, copy the patched boot.img to your computer, and then install the kernel through fastboot as you usually would. I had this thing updated and rooted with magisk before I turned it on for the first time.
