Hi,
I own a Huawei/Samsung Prism under T-Mobile (running Gingerbread 2.3.6) and I want to gain root access on it to remove bloatware. I have thoroughly searched the internet for any/all rooting techniques, in which none are compatible with my device and/or didn't work. I even looked at a few threads here regarding rooting a Prism phone but found things confusing and not so clarifying.
Does anyone know of an absolutely fool proof way to root this damned thing? Just give me the instructions/any files I need to download and I'll be set. I'm no noob when it comes to technology or following directions. I already have the driver installed, if that's useful info to any of you.
Thanks
Hi guys,
Last night I managed to get my lumia 800 developer unlocked through Microsoft's website and Dreamspark as I am a student however after spending an hour or so downloading the SDK and installing it I found that I need root for most homebrew applications.
I've looked through a lot of threads and found that I have the Nokia DLOAD bootloader, however most of the threads are old.
My questions are; How do I go about getting root access to my phone?
and 2: What are my options?
Thanks for your replies!
I do not think there is anything that can be done at this point, unless you have the qualcomm bootloader. I am in the same situation.
Nope, you have to first gain interop-unlock. What kind of homebrew apps do you need anyway? The basic ones like screencapture and marketplace changer are enough for dev-unlock, just check with the developer or read the info.

How did you manage to get marketplace config to work without root access?

I was hoping to get ringtone2sms (Found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1634842) working. Haven't had a chance to check out many more homebrew apps so far.
Hi,
I'm very new to android phones. I'm wondering who makes the root files for the phones? are they made by different individuals, or is there a team?
Don't want to sound too naive, but it would be great if someone can make a request for them to create a G850A root. All the other Alphas seem to have gotten a root except the G850A. :crying:
We have located our two old x10i's and want to give them to our kids but both are n=in need of updating.... One has Android 1.6 on and the other has 2.1(thing thats it) have managed to unlock bootloaders and root with out too much issue but now need to obtain all the files require to upgrade to Android 4.1.2 yet all threads have the kernel missing and indeed the roms... so could someone poit me to the links for these files and recovery file and anything else we need..

Hi, I'm new to this community. I have experience jailbreaking my iphone, but I am unfamiliar with how the different rooting applications work across multiple platforms (e.g. are they universal). I was thinking of buying a Sonim XP8 because it has a bunch of interesting features that I haven't seen on mainstream phones. However, I am not willing to buy one unless I am able to root it. Is my dream possible?
I too would like an XP8 with root. Is there anyone who can help with this request per chance?

I did read somewhere (on XDA) that someone rooted the XP7 with kingoRoot, but....that's all I've found.

I tried kingoroot, and it failed. I haven't been able to find any options either. Hopefully, someone has some ideas. I have come to rely on root to block ads. They are beyond horrible.
any update yet? is there any root yet ive tried about every root apps i cant even find working drivers for this phone
Sonim xp8 dual sim issue
When i put 2 sim cảd to the device but only 1 work
I talked to Sonim about getting root access as there is a problem with my Xp3800 flip and I know its just a xml edit. They told me the phone cannot be rooted as its encrypted and has secure boot which makes sense as these are geared towards public safety
Hello Everyone,
I'm new to the forum and have been reading old posts to get current on the state of the collective effort here. Though I'm looking to contribute overall anyway I can, my current short term goal is to get hotspot working with my current carrier (Mint) with the used XP8 I purchased. The handset was originally an AT&T phone and came with the Android 8 update installed.
At the moment, I'm attempting to get the 10 firmware update hoping that might solve the hotspot issue, but I suspect that it's the carrier specific software baked into the image that's the real cause.
Today I reached out to AT&T and, despite not being a customer, they claimed to have allowed my phone (By IMEI) to get access to the 10 update. We'll see if it actually works as the tech indicated that it would take two hours for the authorization to propagate. If so, I'll attempt to pull off the firmware and share it.
