Thank You for Your Time and Please Feel Free To Call If you Do not Feel like typing alll the step 228-697-7467

Z4root in the market works fine for getting root. It will even unroot for you. I haven't tried a rom manager or flashed any other firmware yet. So far I am just watching the forums here waiting to here of other Cellular South Showcase owners who have success with a custom rom. Please let us know if you find something good that works.

I've got a showcase rooted with z4root and running the voodoo 5 lagfix that can be found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=871948
I noticed an immediate performance boost after installation, been working great and it's been that way for two or three weeks now. I did a benchmark with Quadrant Standard and it topped out at over 1700.

Can you please instruct me on how to find z4root in the market... I have searched for it dozens of times and it keeps saying 'unable to find, make sure you typed the name correctly.'
:-( very unhappy camper here, as I've been trying to root my Showcase for almost a month now and can't find that app...

you can try http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=747598

Just google Z4Root via a web browser (pc or phone). Download it and transfer it to the root of sd card. Then navigate to it through phone and launch. I will take a little while to complete so make sure you have a good charge and some patience. After 5-10 minutes your phone will reboot and it will be done.

Rooting Samsung Galaxy S Showcase
I just got my showcase yesterday and I would like to root it.
I just have a couple of quesions:
If I use Z4root, is it safe? Will Android 2.1 still be on it whenever it finishes?
Will it be completely blank, free of bloatware? This will be my first time rooting
and I'm not going to lie, I'm a bit nervous. I don't want to brick my phone
or mess it up in any way, I just want all the bloatware gone and to be able to
use my phone to its fullest extent.
Thank you!

I have rooted/Rom My showcase
I have rooted my phone using z4. I am running the pick N pack 3 rom.
It was not terrible difficult to do if you have done other phones in the past.
Rooting your phone does not wipe out any software or change out your rom image. It strictly allows applications to execute with higher privileges.
It will let you run things like "Wireless Tether for root user" . You will however need those elevated privileged to be able to replace the rom image on your phone.
I updated my phone to 2.2 so i can use Google Voice Actions. I have had it on many of my phones in the past and missed it. After upgrading my phone, the Google voice actions has a bug. I am unable to call or send text using voice actions. It seems voice actions will not see the last name in my contacts. I can not tell if this is an error with my Google account or on my phone.
I got my rom Image from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=970331 but it seems it has been taken down since then.
I do hear that Cellular South is coming out with the 2.2 update. They have been telling me "in a few weeks" since mid Feb. It is getting VERY frustrating. I asked them again yesterday and now they are saying the end of April. Anyway, I hope this helps guys.

Yes z4root...download app.... v...i'll give details...
Download App- Amazon app store...once downloaded search for..Z4root and bingo...Enjoy the Z4root!

[Q] Samsung Illusion SCH-i110 Rooting / ROMs

I have scoured the Internet for information regarding any custom work for this phone.
I stumbled upon samsungillusionforum dot com, which is a dead forum with ancient posts and near zero activity. It seems to be an alias to samsungfascinateforum dot com. Why anybody would set a forum up in this manner is beyond me.
Last month I bought the Verizon Wireless Samsung Illusion SCH-i110. I waited around a month to see if anybody would post any information regarding rooting/ROMs for this phone to no avail.
I plan on trying SuperOneClick to root the phone, but as for Custom ROMS I don't know what is out there.
I would appreciate any and all information anybody has regarding ongoing customization work for the Verizon Wireless Samsung Illusion SCH-i110 running Android 2.3.5.
Thanks for taking the time to read this.

I too have been looking to see if i can find a way to root this phone...i like the phone, nice and responsive and just a good midrange phone, however i do want to get root access for wifi tethering.... I have tried superoneclick, doomlord, z4, gingerbreak, and universal androot all to no avail... if anyone has success getting this rooted please share the knowledge and it'd be highly appreciated....

I am in the same boat here... My girlfriend recently picked one up and hates all the VZW apps that are installed and we want to remove them and tweak the system a bit. I have scoured through the interwebs for close to 2 weeks trying to find anything that can root this phone. Unfortunately, anything out there as far as I can tell does not work... Can anybody please help with this?

yes please im in the same shape as yall i got a couple darts modded and now i have the gnex and it is great but if i cant find anything soon maybe this one will not majically work and need to trade for a differatnt model.......ive also tries every method th OP origanilly posted............sux new toy no mod

Same here. Starting to think no one will ever root this phone. It boggles the mind that there is an unrootable android phone on the market. :-(

I was an idiot to suggest to my wife she get this phone from Verizon - I just assumed it was going to be a quick root for this cheap phone and I'd get all that Verizon crap off of it and it'd run great...
Looks like it ain't never going to happen.

did you try ZergRush? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1296916
It's not that it's unrootable, it's just no one spends time rooting/modding prepaid phones... I'd be willing to work on it but I would need a tester, someone who can use ADB

I personally have tried everything including ADB to root this device. It isn't a prepaid phone. It is a contract phone through VZW

Just wondering if anyone has tried getting root by using Unlock Root from unlockroot dot com?

I am also interested in any progress on this phone.
I have the straight talk version S720C Samsung Proclaim which runs on Verizon service.
I assume that once a root for the paid Verizion is working that it should work as well on the Proclaim?
I got this for my daughter and being able to wifi teather would be great

I have tried every method to root this device. None have worked. Zergrush, unlock root, super one click, doomlord, z4root, manually, and a few other methods... Have the devs stopped working with one click root programs?

Root for Samsung Replenish with Gingerbread?

So, sprint just released an OTA update to 2.3.6 for the Samsung Replenish (SPH-M580). Thing is, for me (and others, I'm sure) the update somehow both automatically applied an obnoxious Sprint ID skin as well as crippled the Sprint ID service. This leaves users with an ungodly 2.2/2.3 hybrid which manages to look even worse than Froyo, and no Sprint-sanctioned method of fixing it.
So, rather than sit idly by and wait for Sprint to slowly/never patch this (neither Sprint nor Samsung had anyone who could help me), I've decided to root the device.
A few questions:
1. Here, someone achieved root back in mid-2011. Would that method be viable after the update to 2.3?
2. Would other exploits (i.e. gingerbreak via SuperOneClick) be viable with 2.3.6?
3. Is CWM or Cyanogen compatible with this handset? The whole reason I was looking forward to the update was certain UI features that I noticed on newer gingerbread devices like the SGS2 (power options on notification screen, paged applications drawer, zoom-out on home screen), and none of those are available thanks to Sprint.
Hopefully this gets more than 2 replies; sometimes it seems like nobody owns this phone on here.

Wow, just found another UI goof - in some apps (XDA included) the loading icon is a rotating circle, but it's in a non-square space, so it ends up looking like a goofy wobbling ellipse. Urgh.

Agh, can't anybody help with this?

I guess nobody anywhere ever had this device.
Can someone direct me to a forum where I might find help? :c

Im on the same boat as you, but my phone is on Boost. I've been looking for hours and can't find anything. I'll let you know if I find any leads.

Are you on Froyo? If so, I think someone posted a batch file a few months ago that would work.
Sent from my SPH-M580 using XDA App

Has anyone figured this out yet? Is there a comparable root for another Samsung device that would work with the replenish? Seems like someone should have figured it out by now...

I have a rooted Replenish on 2.3
I have a rooted replenish on Phoenix 0.2 the Download and instructions are on android central just search replenish
forums.androidcentral.com/samsung-replenish/148702-acs-rom-phoenix-rom-0-2-a.html
It wont let me post the link because im new here

Odin may be only option right now
I have a coworker with a Replenish. Rooted it with KMS originally (was a PITA, but if you timed it right, it worked), since he updated it to gingerbread I have not found a working solution.
I downloaded the Phoenix 0.2 rom from above and will test it out when I see the phone again. I'm guessing from what I read in the comments relating to that ROM that it will work fine.
Note about flashing using ODIN: From what I know, ODIN is the tool samsung uses to push firmware to their phones. This will overwrite the boot loader and if something goes wrong during flashing you can brick your phone. Make sure you are using a good powered USB port on your computer with a good working USB cable for the phone (preferably the one that came with it that has the samsung sticker on it). I've bricked a phone before using a crappy USB port on my computer, so be careful :-/

your savior!!!!!!!!! lol XD

[Q] Rooting+Rom a not so common tablet.

I picked up a Ematic EGM003 tablet for someone and I really with I wouldnt of. Its a bit sluggish and unresponsive at times. Here is the link to the one Im talking about.
amazon.com /Ematic-Android-Capacitive-Multi-Touch-Tablet/dp/B00GQI7IP0
I told him I would see what I could do about making it run a bit better. Im not the best at rooting but I did manage to root and install a rom on my old Samsung Captivate. I did search around using the EGM003 terms but I didnt see anything (maybe looking for the wrong thing?)
So is there anyway I can get this Ematic table rooted and have a lightweight rom installed to make it run a bit better. Maybe a generic rom or something that ran on a similar Ematic tablet?

You most likely won't be able to get a ROM on it, probably only root. If you tried flashing a different tablets ROM it would brick your tablet.

[Q] Need Root For BLU Studio 6.0 LTE

I am looking for a root for my BLU Studio 6.0 LTE model Y650Q preferably through Framaroot. I've already tried and does not work. Also, I'd be willing to donate towards a custom Lollipop ROM for my phone as well. Please let me know if this is possible. I had a BLU Studio 5.5 before this phone and Framaroot worked for it so I'm hoping it'll work or this phone soon. Willing to donate.

This is what I've found
Look at this page for Lollipop Rom. http://www.lollipop-roms.org/2014/12/blu-studio-6-0-lte-6900.html
I was looking for a one click root method as well. I think there aren't many options because the phone is still new. I'm looking to buy this phone. How do you like yours?

Honestly, I love it. I had the Note 3, and came on hard times so had to sell it. I got this phone a week ago and its seriously up to par compared to the Note 3. My husband has the Note 4 and I honestly like my phone better. I've been a Samsung fan since the Vibrant and feel bad for straying but BLU made a really kick ass phone! My ONLY complaint is that the touch sensitivity is a little high and find myself having to hit the back button but once I'm able to root, I know I can fix that. The camera is BETTER than my husbands Note 4. I honestly can't say enough about it. I really do love it.

Hi again,
Is there wireless tethering capability with this phone? And is the internal storage a true 16 gigs? I know it will only be 11 out of the box, but what I'm asking is, is the storage all one disk drive? I've seen these types of phones with partitioned drives, which I hate. One more question. Were you able to get it rooted and romed? Did the download link include a custom recovery? I would really love to get Cyanogenmod on this.

Yes, wireless tethering is a feature. I have used it plenty of times to connect my tablet with no problems. I actually have 14 GB of storage out of the box. I still have 13gb after all my app downloads. Most of my apps are on my 32gb SD Card.
Like I said, the link provided above isn't legit. Its basically a scam so no. I haven't been able to root it yet. I've tried Framaroot, but no one has found the exploit for this particular phone yet. I used to have the BLU Studio 5.5 and Framaroot worked for it, so hopefully its just a matter of time before someone figures out this phone.

I used an app called Towelroot on my Nexus 7 tablet. I believe it's supposed to work with most Android devices. I'm digging around trying to see what I can find out. It works just like Framaroot in that you don't need to use a computer to root your phone.

Just tried towelroot... No luck. Says my phone is not supported..

Crap! I was hoping it works. I need to make a decision fast because my current phone is really acting up badly. I like the specs, just want to be able to root and get Cyanogenmod. Only because I really love the new CM themes. I'll keep digging to see what I can find out.

is this real
Hey guys in found this... Not sure if it's scam or for real... 3 comments so far say its good... But this can be fake... I also want to at least root or better yet get lollipop ... So - http://www.how-to-root.club/2015/01/blu-studio-6-0-lte-6900.html

I'm sure it'll be rooted soon. The Studio 5.5 was rooted, so it's just a matter of time. This phone has only been out a month so I'm sure its in the works. If I were you, I'd still get it. But that's just because I love this phone.

I've already figured out its a scam. You can only "download" it by doing endless amounts of surveys and signing up for this and that and you never get the download link. Trust me, I've tried. And the XDA link he provides, isn't legit.

ImSoBLU, check this out
You said you tried towelroot. Here is a workaround for the phone not supported issue:http://www.naldotech.com/how-to-fix-towelroot-phone-isnt-supported-problem/
I stumbled across a site that supposedly had a Framaroot download, but they wanted you to jump through too many hoops for the apk. I'm not going for that. Either post the link or don't.

I checked that link you sent and it says to enter in some codes. There is NO where to enter any sort of codes so TowelRoot is still a no-go.

You're supposed to tap on Welcome to Towelroot three times. All my Android devices are rooted, so I have nothing to test this on. But I like what I've seen so far with this phone. I have a thL phone that I used Framaroot on. I hope they will find an exploit for the Blu. I just need a new phone because my current one has limited internal storage, the camera stopped working, and either battery is shot, or charging port is going bad. Have you ever installed custom recovery and custom Rom before? On your other Blu?

Yeah, I'm an intermediate knowledge of rooting and downloading and installing ROMs. It helps that my husband is a computer programmer and has been for 17 years so he knows quite a bit about this stuff and so its rubbed off on me. I did tap the welcome message 3 times. Then 10, then about 40 times. And nothing. My husband could root it via the computer but can't find the adb drivers for this phone. Or something like that. He tried and looked for everything and told me to post here and see if anyone's figured it out. If he hasn't been able to do it then it hasn't been done yet.
But it'll be done soon. I was able to root my BLU Studio 5.5 with Framaroot and did install a few ROMs on it but ended up sticking with stock ROM because I preferred it. So I know its just a matter of time before someone figures out the exploits to root this phone. Just hoping it happens sooner rather than later.
