Okay, so i come from the Nexus One now having the T-Mobile G2X which is a pretty good phone and already some roots have came out which is great since i could try to back up all my apps from my Nexus One to my new T-Mobile G2X.
Okay, i know the the Universal Androot has the ability to root and unroot your phone with a simple touch of just one button WITHOUT unlocking the bootloader or even restarting
(If you guys didnt know about this, click here to learn more)
Okay, so i heard there is a new app called "SuperOneClick" but im not sure if it works for the T-Mobile G2X (Yes, i know there is something called Google and yes i googled it but i get like 20 different answers)
So im asking this:
Is this "SuperOneClick" compatible with the T-Mobile G2X?
Will it be able to root AND unroot my phone with one touch? (Like the Universal Androot)
Also, there are many threads about this and i cant find the original thread but i know its from this forum, can someone post a link to the thread about this "SuperOneClick" or maybe a thread that tells you how to root the T-Mobile G2X using the "SuperOneClick"?
Thanks!

Hello experts!
I would like to add up to the other related threads and ask for development (roms&root) for the Samsung Galaxy S WiFi 4/5.0 PMP. It's related to the SGS as you know, but even with android market a lot of apps, like supercurio's Voodoo control, or other PMP-relevant apps are unaccesible on this devices. They will get released soon to the US (hopefully) so I hope they'll become popular enough for developing.
Thanks!
You have to root these players with superoneclick http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=803682
Thanks, I'll try it. This http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=17236337 other workaround doesn't seem to work, someone else tried that.
Can Galaxy S WIFI be rooted? I am thinking of buying one if it has been successfully done.
yes, i've rooted mine with superoneclick
let's see http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1141893
SuperOneClick works for getting ROOT. Just make sure to have USB Debugging on and Kies not running.
Bump!
This device really needs the attention of developers, etc.
The U.S. version currently runs on 2.3.5 and can not be rooted for some reason.
It can also not be downgraded to the rootable 2.2 firmware for the international versions! This could be a great device for people who don't want a phone, but it needs to be rootable. Please help!

I have a US Version running 2.3.5 GINGERBREAD, and you can root it using "DooMLoRD_v1_ROOT-zergRush-busybox-su" Google it. It is also on this forum.

Yes, me too and you might want to give it the right name - it is the Samsung Galaxy Player 5 without the S (the S probably confuses some as there is no way to use it as a phone).
I have a custom 2.3 ROM on my international player and I rooted it fine with super one click.
First, please forgive my stupidity on a variety of levels as this is my first post and I recently came from the Jailbreaking scene of my iPhone 3GS but have very little knowledge in the Android area - which is why I came here.
I just purchased a used AT&T HTC Inspire 4G off eBay. I would like to root it and run the latest stable Ice Cream Sandwich custom ROM, and unlock if possible. Assuming it is running stock 2.3, I would like to root, unlock and flash a clean custom ROM onto it as soon as I receive it in the mail (2-3 days).
I HAVE searched online for tutorials, but have only found crappy, fuzzy, outdated Youtube videos by 12-year-olds, and therefore am not sure exactly what to do. So if I could get someone's professional guidance on how to root, unlock, flash, and what ROM to use, I will be eternally in your debt.
P.S. I'm not entirely new - I have flashed a number of Windows Mobile ROMs, done plenty of iOS hacking, flashed an Android tablet, and do plenty of dev-testing on my PSP.

Hey, check out attn1's root kit! Got my Inspire rooted in about 5 mins
Link is here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=952352
Also, there's an IRC channel that is listed in the thread if you need any help.
Donations are appreciated!
General premise is that you'll need to S-OFF (remove HTC NAND security), then root.
Removing the NAND is usually handled by an XTC Clip (hardware) or Revolutionary (software) method. Some others do exist, just look for the 'S-OFF' thread in the Inspire section to get you started.
Once that's complete, use either the rootkit mentioned above, or something like SuperOneClick to obtain actual root.
Good luck!

If I'm not mistaken, I believe attn1's root kit does everything for you including S-Off..
Please correct me if I'm wrong.

I have no doubt your are right my friend , I was just providing a little insight on why there's more than one step involved. I also ran into rooting issues using the Vivid toolkit, which were fixed with SuperOneClick.
That said, definitely try the rootkit first. They're a killer starting point
Just make sure you read the effin manual. If you don't, you won't be able to root it with the hack kit. And you won't get ANY help with it if you don't read the manual.

Just got the Inspire 10 minutes ago, so I assume go ahead and use the root kit? Then what would be the best ROM for Ice Cream Sandwich to install? Again, I know how to use Google, just want to have an expert opinion on it... Thanks!
Edit: Just ran the rootkit, and flashed ICS 4.0.3 onto it... Booting now!
There are many great ROMs that exist within the forums. I prefer cynagonmod but of course your mileage may vary.

I have reason to believe my phone is sufficiently bricked... I did follow the instructions in effin_manual, but something must have messed up. I can get to the boot menu (volume down+power) but anything beyond that crashes. Is there any way I can flash this back to stock and start over?
I found this, but the link is dead...

UPDATE: Flashed it back to stock 2.2. Before I do anything else, what is the most recent, stable UNLOCKABLE firmware available? Thanks so much!

First, If you have read the effen manual you would have known what to do in you case.
If your phone was shipped with Gingerbread and you flashed a froyo RUU you are in trouble...make sure that your cell is working properly before trying to flash a custom rom or you will get jammed. By the way, brick means that your phone is useless and were not bricked....the Hack Kit works beautifully as long as you follow instructions. Also, make sure that you are S-OFF and Rooted before attempting to flash a custom rom....
The phone was shipped with Froyo, and I just restored it back to that.
I had ICS 4.0.3 flashed, but the unlock was not compatible with it and I got a nice little message from AT&T about that. They haven't started charging me yet, but I would like to do something about it before they do.
So can ICS be unlocked at all? Or what is the most recent firmware that can be unlocked?

Don't understand what you mean here. How is an unlock uncompatible ?Charging you for what exactly?

I got a text from ATT this morning saying "Congratulations on your 4G smartphone! 4G data and message rates may apply." I checked online and it was still on my 200 MB iPhone plan, so hopefully it stays that way. My bad, just wanted to make sure it was unlocked.
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA
Not sure why you would want to unlock an att phone to use on att.people unlock it to use on other carriers like say T-Mobile.
As to the text,since the inspire is an att phone they will recognize it and will change your data plan accordingly. There really isn't a way around that. I don't remember their being a 200mb iPhone plan but its been a while. But it might be as easy as giving them a call and switching it over and keeping the same plane just named differently.

Welcome to someone who has ATT and is just recalling his experience with it:
1) You can change your data plan up till the end of the billing cycle for that SAME cycle.
2) 200mb is the minimum data plan and you have to (in theory) be on a data plan to have a smartphone on their network.
Moving on to non-ATT stuff
3) You may want to do a little bit of reading and understand the difference between root and unlock.
4) I'll be nice and link a thread with that insight: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1076720
5) ... >.<
I got it working with my 200MB data plan and running Ice Cream Sandwich 4.0.3. Thanks for all the help!

Use the guide in my signature...it points you to attn1's site.
It appears as though LG made some changes to the hardware, and software of the L3 when brining it to Canada. None of the usual root tricks work for it, and it will not work with roms made for the American version. I went through every thread and many, many pages before I found out how to get root. It can be done with SuperOneClick, but you must use the Rageagainstthecage method. After that its all root and wonderful. Now hopefully this ends the search for Canadian L3 users. Im just waiting to get a response on my other thread about if anyone can make a CM9 or CM10 Rom for this model. Hopefully someone is nice enough to make one.

this information really helped, bud. although, we should mention that SuperOneClick 1.7 will root the e400r LG L3 from fido/rogers...
the app keeps telling me its a temp root, and i cannot update binaries, but that might not be a problem for most people...

Can you describe a little more how exactly you proceed to root E400R? You have added three links and I don't exactly how to use them.

I'm looking to see if there are any cyanogen mod roms for my Kyocera Rise. I've used a cm on my old Motorola Backflip and loved it. I had gone back to dumbphones until just last week when I got my Virgin Mobile branded Kyocera Rise. If you know of any info, please let me know. I can't find anything about it anywhere on the web, which makes me think there is not one in development. If there is no CM available, are there any other roms I could try? Thanks!!

Currently the rise has a locked bootloader. Kyocera refuses to say anything except a form letter that sums to "We have no fingers in the pie".

Kyocera Rise Root
I was able to root Kyocera Rise v4.0.3. with no problem. They provide an OTA update to v4.0.4 which locked the bootloader. After many tries I was able to root v4.0.4. I tested some apps which modified different features of the phone. It seems "PimpMyRom" allowed a lot of tweaks to work. I am trying to unroot and reroot, in order to provide a simple process. I am new to the forum so it will take a little bit before I can post a tutorial for rooting v4.0.4. But it can be rooted so it will only be a mtter of time before a CWM is developed.
Virgin Mobile is lying when they say they don't have anything to do with the locked bootloader. they have all their new phones locked up because they think root can jeopardize their service.
