I have a SE Xperia 10 in the US with android 1.6. I want to upgrade desperately to 2.2,etc. All my research shows that I must root the phone with Z4root. Problem is that At&t won't allow me to install the app because it is not in the Market or was not downloaded from the market.
I then learned that sideloading or debranding were possibly my only options for installing apps such as this. Only issue is that I am on a Mac running 10.5.8 and cannot seem to find any thing to assist in this. I have read about the sideload wonder machine, but I cannot find a download for macs.
Has anyone had to go through all this At&t BS and successfully updated their phone without getting into astro-physics? If so I need your help.
Thanks- TheShamel

I want to root the phone and possibly install newer Android firmware on the device. I have done research and have found no information whatsoever.
Thanks in advance

Install LG USB Drivers
Download SuperOneClick 2.2.3 (google for it)
Run SuperOneCLick with the Auto mode selected
That worked for me. I'm still hunting for a custom ROM, though...
Just got a new phone, wanted to root it, didn't want it bricked.
I have the Java SDK and Android SDK ready to go. Downloaded Superoneclick.
Haven't seen any info about successful Huawei roots, so I just wanted to check and make sure it's safe.
Running Android 4.0.3 from WIND Mobile.
I've done this before with a Motorola XT720 running 2.1, never with a Huawei device or anything running ICS
Can I do this or will it brick my phone?
Thanks
Anybody???
I know there is a compatibility list with SuperOneClick and I don't want to brick my device.
I have the same question. Apparently our phone is quite the rarity and only 2 or 3 carriers in the world sell it.
I found the method:

Dear Developers,
I need help with a problem that I've encountered trying to root this android that I recently purchased. Specifically, my phone is a UMX MaxBravo u670c. The model version is 2.3.6. The carrier is with Net10 and it's a 3g network that runs on it. I've tried multiple method, but all have failed. I'm starting to lose hope. I do understand that this could be done via PC, but I don't own one. So I figured it shouldn't be so difficult to root this phone, but I was wrong. I see a lot of answers and solutions to a majority of androids out there, but finding anything on my phone from a credible and trusted source is nearly impossible to. scarce. Please help! So far I've tried : z4root, gingerbreak, the update.zip. method
Hello everyone,
I just made the switch from Apple to Android, and I have been looking into rooting my phone. Unfortunately, I can not find any way to get this phone to be rooted. I've tried Kingroot and looking for the firmware, but I can't seem to find it.
Can anyone point me in the right direction to getting this thing rooted? Or explain why it can/can't be rooted? The searching for answers is making my head spin.
J727vpp root
I ha d a friend that had a black sm-j727vpp and he was able to root it using magisk and a file he downloaded from xda. I read a while back that the phone has a flexible bootloader. Ive been searching but haven't been able to find the file on the site anymore..
Have you tried the current magisk?
Hey guys.
Was hoping someone could help me out as I'm new to Android rooting. I got a Giada F210U unit which supports Android 5.1.1.
Loaded the default Android image from the manufacturers website and am now trying to get the play store up and running as I want to turn this device into a home media player that can have apps like netflix installed.
The device lets me download and install APK's but then does nothing when I try to open them which I assume is due to the device being locked.
Tried loading Kingo Root, I Root and multiple others to no avail. They at least load but when trying to root they all fail.
Anyone got any advice as to how I should go about getting this device rooted?
