hi folks, i used to come to this forum all the time back in the day when i had my original G1 and then my HD2 and other phones (i dropped off the face of the planet and also forgot my password to my old account, the captcha system is horrendous BTW)
my question is is there any root options and custom rom options for the motorola DROID PRO (verizon)/XPRT (sprint?) -- YES, i've searched and any information i've found is pretty old and seems outdated. i rather not risk bricking my phone with something that no long works. so if someone could pretty please point me in the right direction i would appreciate it so much.
other questions: if rooting is possible on my droidpro -- what custom roms can i use on it?
thank you so much for any help you send my way.

Hello Guys,
I have coming to this forum for a while and have always been thankful for the help and advice and for making my old MDA work the way is was meant to ;-).
Alas, the thing dies and I wanted to get something new so I bought this thing on eBay;
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&item=290268552198
They call it the hTY Touch Flo or Hantel Q5and it is pre-loaded with WM6. It says it has built in GPS and a few other goodies but the iGo software just hangs the phone and does not fit the screen width and I have no way of changing it. It is also lacking some of the previous great features that I had especially with mfrazz's cooked rom.
I've scanned the forums and tried to search for this phone without much luck and was wondering if it might be similar enough to one of the phones on this forum to piggy back off of.
If anyone can point me in the right direction, I'd appreciate it very much. Thanks in advance.
I couldn´t find anything on this device, it seems a copy of HTC
Its actually quite cool and so far so good but, I need the little extras that were always available here.
Hi. Been a looong time since I visited the forums. I was unhappy with the performance of my Fuze, so I came here to try some tricks with it. Pretty much did it all just short of installing the Android OS on it...which I think was just starting to be developed before I gave up on the Fuze.
I followed the development of the best roms and radios back in the spring/summer of last year, and the Fuze's got a TAEL rom on it now, and radio "1.12.25.19". The phone worked/works just fine...but I wasn't happy with it, and the large bill that arrived every month, so I ditched it long ago for a simple tracfone.
I'm wondering now though....is it possible to unlock either or both of the phones in a way that would allow me to use the tracfone SIM in the Fuze?
A simple enough question I think....and I tried the search....but I don't exactly know what to search for.
Appreciate any help you can offer. This has been a great forum for me in the past. VERY informative.

Thanks. I've seen that page, and followed the links. However that alone doesn't answer my question. I need to know if this can be done at all first, before I start buying software and codes for a 2? year old phone I don't even use. =)
Where are all the pro hackers and chefs for these things? Maybe the Fuze really WAS that bad, that noone even uses it anymore?
I will be the first to tell you I am not tech savvy at all! I have been doing some research with regards to this and have used many resources avail, including this site.
I have read most of the answers to my questions but still require assistance. I have the HTC Desire with with my local internet provider Cox Communications and I have a 10.2 inch tab through wowpad that is powered by Android supertab. It is operating on 2.1. My HTC is 2.2. I am very new to the smart phone world and tablet world.
Is there a way to just simply upgrade my tab to a new OS? Do most of you feel that rooting my phone is the way to go, because I never ever have storage that I need. I know it comes down to a personal choice. Or, will my phone eventually upgrade to a new OS?
I really want to do my tablet but honestly I literally need step by step directions in doing so. If I mess this up on my own, my wife and daughter will kill me. Thanks in advance to all of you. This is truly the best site in the world!
How would rooting your phone solve your storage issue?
More Storage
From what I understand, I will have superuser rights and that would allow me to delete some of the stock programs to free up space. Is that right?
Help
Is there anyone out there willing to help with this issue? It would be greatly appreciated.
This Sucks
Ummmm Wow! I thought I would get some help with this, but I guess not. I guess I'll try another site.
Take it easy, look up your device in the forums and look for how to root.
It's not that hard to do and most devices have a manual how to.

Thank you
Thank you krt. That is exactly what I needed. Thanks again.
Afternoon People,
Just got myself a STAR N9500 and wondering what i can actually do with this phone regarding rooting and roms. ive have iphones since they started and seen this on ebay and thought id give it a try, my phone is already rooted (i think) as its a chinese copy. and you put samsungs touchwiz on this or any other sort of design rather than the normal jellybean OS.
im new to all this so you'll have to talk to me in stupid english as im still learning. any help or advise would be greatly recieved.
thanks in advance.

firstly, these fake, knock off phones generally don't get much attention in terms of roms and rooting.
nobody would put time and effort into making roms for a fake knockoff phone.
Hi there, firstly I hope I'm posting in the correct place but if I'm not please accept my sincerest preemptive apologies and feel free too relocate me to the appropriate thread.
Here's my saga, I recently got a Cubot C9+, it's a genuinely good phone which I'm quite happy with however it's not without problems. It came with Android 4.2.2 installed, after getting it I ran the manufacturers update however a lot of my SMS messages are not getting to me, I have tried everything including new sim, alternative SMS apps etc and still no joy at all. On top of that it is a little laggy, I'm wondering if theres any alternative Operating Systems I can use on it? I found some fantastic roms for my old Xperia X8 and X10 mini pro but there doesn't seem to be much for this phone, I wouldnt mind downgrading to an older operating system either. I would prefer not to have to mess about with the firmware if possible as I managed to brick a phone or two in my past and just dont have money for another one right now.
Any help anyone can offer would be greatly appreciated and again sorry if I have posted in the wrong place.
Many thanks
-Larry
