So i just got a used v10 from a friend, and i wanna ask a few questions
Its on the latest update, i think the software is 2AA. Is there much progress on root for that?
Also, there IS a way to get custom boot animations without root correct? because I plan to activate this phone with metroPCS and you know, it doesnt make much sense to have a metro phone booting with verizon animations.
Any help you guys can pass on to me is greatly appreciated.

Has anyone and i mean anyone found out a way to root the damn thunderbolt yet? I need some major help with this issue and it would be much and i mean much appreciated. I have spent many hours trying to get this phone rooted and nothing seems to work i have prob tried everybody rooting method out there. Im actually doing this for one of my family members and it really sucks to be him because he bought the phone first thing to be done was the root and i cant find a way to do it so if anybody has found a way PLZZ help. Phone is on 2.11.605.5 I dont know if u have to downgrade or what has to done.
Have you tried the revolutionary method? If you are in fact still at 605.5 it will work.
A quick Google search will turn that up for you.
Hi!!, I'm new in XDA developers Forum. I got a Galaxy S3, it was a present from my father and it is carrier locked (Vodafone). I know there is a tool called *Voodoo blah blah blah* that makes unlocking this phone so easy, and I'm using it, but I want to use CyanogenMod 10, and that tool doesn't work with it. I would really want to know if there is any method available for that, as I don't want to deal with all those manufacturer's customizations.
And also, another question, tomorrow Samsung is going to release the jelly beam update. Is the voodoo thing going to work on that?? Will I have to find any kind of trick, such as the *SIM fix* that someone here released to make the voodoo unlocker work with the latests firmwares??
Waiting for your answers geniuses!!!!
PS: I attach the sim fix if anyone wants to know what am I talking about.
Please!! Help me!!

TIA.

I'm suddenly interested in rooting my s4 i9505,which is just 2 months old,thats why I'm doubtful of rooting my phone because maybe it will get brick or i regret rooting it or anything , i just need quick questions to be answered, I already have little knowledge about rooting a phone, but here a my quick questions.
1)can I still like download from play store,when I root my phone?
2)what are it's advantage?
3)do i still get updates from the manufacturer when i root my phone? "ex, Phone updates,google, etc."
3.1)If i don't get any updates anymore,do I need to update my phone manually or by myself?
4)If do I root of my phone now, what are the chances that there will be problems?
Please help me, I would really like opinion on people who already rooted their phone,especially from people who has a Samsung Galaxy s4 i9505, Thank you!

1 yes you can
2 so many do a search
3 no you cant update your phone if it is rooted
3.1 but you can update it by unrooting it temporarily using an app superuser
4 1 rooting will void your warranty
2 do it as clear as per the instructions for rooting else you will soft brick your phone you can unbrick that but take precautions
that's all take a risk friend
Anyone know if theres any development on the Tribute 2? Im wanting to run CM but i cant find anything.
Bootloader
I currently am not aware of any development, but I have a request if its not asking too much. Would it be possible that you make a backup image of your stock boot loader and post it? I'm using the boost variant. I kind of ruined my boot loader and cant restore or even update anymore, I accidentally tried to flash in incompatible boot loader from the ls660...thanks for any help in advance.
Boost Version
I have the Boost edition of the Tribute 2. Did you still need to the bootloader? I'm actually looking for the stock Virgin Mobile rom for this phone. If anyone has the Virgin edition of this phone and could make a backup and upload of it, I would greatly appreciate it!!

I have the Virgin Mobile Tribute 2, and I would be willing to attempt to make back up and post it, but unfortunately, I am not quite that advanced in developing for android phones. If I could get steps on backing up the stock rom, I will do that for you. I need to learn how do that anyways, as well as other android developing skills.
