I apologize if this is somewhere in the forums already. I have a quick question & want to know if the Moto Z I am about to get, can be rooted, add custom recovery, rom etc. I am looking forward to trade in my 6s Plus for a Moto Z. The model number is xt1650. I'm not sure if that model can done or so. I see other model number with the "-02" & such things like that. If anyone can help, I'd love that before making this trade.

Hi everyone,
I just buy a Atrix, but i am little disappointed.
This damn Moto Blur avoid me to change simple thing like just sync some groups of my gmail, not all contacts.
My question is:
Is it possible to root this device, and install a new and "pure" version of Android 2.2.2 (or 2.3.3)?
If yes, what is the good and the bad points?
What can i miss?
I really want to make my device free of this damn
Not unless you're sitting on a way to unlock the bootloader that none of us know about. Otherwise the answer is the same as every other thread that asks this question... Without an unlocked bootloader we can't flash full roms
Also might have helped to search and/or read before posting. Answers to all your questions are in the forums multiple times!
Got a used AT&T One-M7. Need it for infrared. Can someone help with a few questions?
I bought a used HTC One M7 from eBay on some deal / offer. Basically, I want to use the IR blaster to control the TV (and rest of the media center) at home. For that purpose, I installed an app called "AnyMote" and it works just fine.
However, I am kind of annoyed by all the AT&T bloatware on it. This is my first non-GpE phone. I had a Galaxy Nexus followed by a Nexus 6, and I have never rooted, changed ROMs or anything of that sort.
So here are my questions -
1. Is there any way to get rid of all the AT&T bloatware apps ?
2. If the only way to achieve #1 above is by "install a new ROM", will the IR blaster continue to work and be recognized by AnyMote in the new ROM? Do I need to look for a ROM that supports that?
3. Are there any guidelines on how I can go about installing a new ROM ? All the stickies I see in the HTC One forums are new ROMs, and they all assume a certain level of expertise that I clearly do not have. Given this is my first foray into ROM changing, can someone point me to a more noob friendly guidelines I could read off?
Thank you !
Hi I have search all over for about a month and can't find anything to make this phone what I want so wanted to see if maybe someone could steer me in the right direction.

I bought the Grand X Max 2 & used it briefly as my main phone, I bought it as a temporary phone to hold me off until I could get the S8+, I still own the phone & still use it when home to keep from over working my S8+, I keep my old phones & old tablets use them for somethings to minimize the wear & tear on my new good expensive phone & tablets processors, anyways so I still use the Grand X Max 2, it's actually pretty good phone, the ZTE Z Max & the ZTE Grand X Max & Grand X Max 2 were all great fast smooth running phones, especially for their price tag, I found all kinds of hacks & mods for the Z Max, I didn't find any for the 1st generation Grand X Max Plus or it's successor the Grand X Max 2, I found this extremely frustrating.
I also have a Straight Talk Samsung Galaxy S6 SM-907VL that I bought as a temporary phone & I couldn't find anything tips or tricks or hacks or mods on that specific S6 model, I couldn't believe that there was nothing on a Samsung S line phone, now I will only buy phones from Verizon or AT&T or unlocked phones straight from the companies website, my preference is unlocked phone but if I come across a real good deal then I will take it.
So I had sprint for years. Had the note 4 until 3 years ago when I switched to the note 9 /U and couldn't root it... very terrible.
So jot tmibile bought sprint and I don't like tmobile. So I'm switching to AT&T which i also don't like but I can add GSM phones so thats my path.
My question is which of the latest Samsung note phones is best for rooting meaning which model number should I buy from Amazon or ebay that can be both rooted and unlocked bootloader?
I was going to do the fold 3 but apparently samsung kills the camera. . Shame...
Rooting isn't necessary or even desirable.
The 10+ running on Pie* is a strong running, very stable phone once optimized.
Next best choice is the 20U.
The Fold3 and S21U are duds with no SD card slot, no spen and/or numerous hardware issues**.
If the 10+ or 20U aren't to your liking wait until next year for the new Note release.
*last good Android OS and with no scope storage, fully supports trusted overlay apks.
**Fold3 hardware issues... wait they're coming
Ok. So I definitely want root and customs roms which means unlocked bootloader.. thank you for the vote of confidence with stock phones but my question was clear and opinion is not an answer to the question. Again, which phone model is best, meaning specific model number, for rooting and roming. I know there are 2 chinees versions of the note 10 and note 20 as well as a few others from other countries meaning non "U" versions, Which is best? Some people just fail to read and answer properly. I wonder wtf is wrong with people... i didnt ask for opinion on non-rootable or otherwise non unlock able bootloaders and clearly was asking for non "U" version yet some daft schmuck says get the U version... duhhh...

Meh, it's a lick on you... do it your way.
Do your homework and go to the appropriate forum for each phone and see what users are able to do. Brain picking is just laziness...
Edit: I could help you but I choose not to... I got a better idea

Well I wouldn't call it laziness... I might instead, call it a request from experience. Some may say well... this model has an unlock able bootloader but only some do while others don't. And maybe this model does have unlocked bootloader but doesn't have many options, while this other model is unlockable usually at&t doesn't accept it. And so on. How did you achieve senior member? Must be by trolling reasonable members... thanks but please shut up on my thread. Go elsewhere and post. Thanks again.
You can unlock the bootloader now on any 9 series us device upto fold 2 s21 provided they on the right bootloader version. Its a paid service but is possible. Root is going strong
is there anyway to take a usa samsung s8 plus phone and change the information in the build.prop to a newer model say the s21 plus or s22 plus?....so, basically Im wondering if possible what information needs changed so that the phone is recgonnazu as a s21-22 plus. Any help would be appreciated im kinda new with all this so im soryy if I say anything or ask anything that might be common knowledge to someone experienced in android and mobile devices.
thank you for your help!
What good would that do?
well it not about what good it would do it is just for a project for school and to see if I could actually do it. no real use just educational.
so I guess what im looking for is the build.prop information of a us sprint s21 plus from what I have gathered so far.
