[Q] rooting and hacking

hello i know very little about rooting...also i have a doubt..
does rooting mean to install custom roms on my android device??i have heard that installing a custom rom voids the warrenty and custom roms are instable too...is it necessary to install a custom rom after rooting??or is rooting completely independent of custom roms??please help
i also saw a video how to root a device using universal androot app...it was interesting because you can send back the device by unrooting it using same application...my device was neither on 'supported devices' list nor on 'not supported devices' list..what shall i do??my motorola defy is pretty slow on Eclair...pls help

U heard it wrong bro...rooting doesn't mean installing custom rom! It's just a process used to get SUPERUSER permission (access to system files)
Its not a must to install custom roms after rooting...
There r many advantages of rooting than disadvantages...I suggest u to Google it o search fr d info in this website itself

Most practical way of Unroot is to install new firmware for your phone.
pls open your phone on download mod and install original stok firmware.

Sent from my LG-P350 using XDA App

yeah my on version is 2.2.2
I used all versions o ginger break but no thing happened
should I do anything before using the rooting programs such as safemode or some thing
(I checked the sd card and tried different ones, and usb debugging)

Not if the root manual says differently.Ill try to find some other way and I'll post it here

Not at the moment, but i know that's not all root manuals are the same(though in most cases you need the debugging if you are rooting over windows/Linux)

plz help!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Please any solution

Please answer me

hey you only had to downgrad youre device, than root and flash a custom rom.
try it with the kdz update tool (google kdz lg )
but take a different firmware 10.e shoud be ok you can take any version of it.
10e should be ok. i hope i could help you,

No any solution without roms because I heard it may be harmful for the device

I also tried the rooting by DOS and I get
unable to chmod files
and then unable to copy files
Why???

Please I( want solution

What LG stock ROM do you currently have? If it's 10a, then it's one of the hardest to root.
I had 10a, then upgraded to 10d and gingerbreak worked like a charm.

Yeah, this ^
Doky73's thread has GT-S5360 firmware available to download and he has a guide there to help you flash it. Odin is the best, and safest, way to go back to stock.

Hi Guys,
Recently I Had Flashed My Phone To ADV ROM v1.4[http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2309415] For My Sony Xperia J!
The ROM Has Got Some Bugs And Hence I Want To Get Back To My Stock JB Rom.
The Bugs Are-
1)Phone Force Closes..So You Cant Call Any One By Manually Writing Number In The Phone App.
2)Uninstalling Any App Shows Some Error!
P.S-I've Got No backup! Please Help Me!
Also, When I try To flash The JB ftf on The Phone It Shows Device Disconnected Although The Phone Shows Green Light Initially!
The ftf Was Working Perfect When I Upgraded From ICS to JB(using the ftf).
Please Help Me out!
And remember That I Have Got No Backup!
Please Send Me The ZIP file Of Official JB So that I Can Flash It In CWM! Or Please Provide Any Other Alternate Method.

You can use a recovery tool from sony to return your phone to stock. You can find the tool from sony official website, just download and install the necessary usb drivers and with original cable and internet connection you can return the phone to the latest stock rom available for the phone.
This always work. I have tried this with my lg nitro hd(P930) and Optimus 3D.
