Thanks lumin30
Both of you, bug Mobilicity for a stock image to restore your phone. lol. Wind won't give me one but maybe Mobilicity will.
I can get it to about 90% stock right now and I'm sure I'll get it almost there. The problem is this. To dump the stock phone, we need it rooted to gain access but the only way to get root on 2.3.6 with the latest patches, is to flash a rooted kernel, which is great but then prevents us from dumping the stock kernel. It's a catch 22. Need a hacked kernel to dump the kernel but flashing the hacked kernel erases the stock kernel. lol.
The package linked by lumin30 will get you rooted, and all the options from there are explained.

tnx
tnx

Hi,
I will check with mobilicity and see what i can do to get the files from there. I really doubt if they would do it for us.
Meanwhile i am trying to get the files from someone who has a official unlocked phone purchased which is carrier free.
He hasn't tampered with it yet.
let me see what he can do for us.
Thanks

[Q] Samsung Galaxy Proclaim

Hello, I am virtually a complete noob when it comes to rooting aphone or tablet. I have a StraightTalk Samsung Galaxy Proclaim
Hardware version S720c.01
Model # SCH-S720C
Fimware 2.3,6
Basebrand version S720C.01 VFBO7
Kernel version 2.635.7-FB07-CL972632
Build #SCH-S720C.FB07
I was wondering if this phone is root-able, and if anyone has some noob-friendly directions on how to do this.

Any phone is rootable, you just have to manually root it yourself which will be difficult. Look up "how to root a phone via adb" and you should get what you're looking for

Any results on this? My gf has a proclaim that she is always complaining about being slow. I thought if I could root it we would have more options available. Haven't seen much on this phone though.

There is a root method somewhere, but you will have to flash a custom kernel and then flash the stock kernel back over it.

[Q] Samsung galaxy s2 HD lte unlocked canada restarts all of sudden

HI all,
I am new to this forum.
i got factory unlocked samsung galaxy s2 hd lte i757m with android v4.1.1 from canada.
I am using this cell in INDIA.
I am experiencing some freeze and sometimes restarts almost daily in my first week of usage.
battery drains fast with just 1hour of wifi usage.
Also cell phone heatsup while charging
Samsung support says officialy jellybean is not been released to hd lte yet , so u might be facing the problem.
Guys does anyone has faced same issues?? please help

There is no official JB for the i757m yet - Samsung are right. The issues definitely sound ROM related, I would recommend rolling back to ICS as it's very stable for me, with good battery life. Also worth noting - your phone will always heat up while charging
Here is a thread relating to installing CWM on the i757m. Ignore that, under the 'Download' section (expand the hide tag) there's a Dev.host link to some files. Go into the Bell SGS2 HD LTE folder, grab Odin3_1.85.zip and in the Factory Images folder, grab 'Unzip Me Stock ICS'. Don't forget to click 'thanks' for dsixda in his thread.
Once you have both those files down, unzip the ROM to get a tar.md5 image, and use ODIN to flash. There are many ODIN tutorials on this site, I suggest reading a couple BEFORE doing anything, as this has the potential to brick your phone completely.
If you need further help after reading, I will be here. I have this phone, and have done this a few times
Good luck!
Justin

thanks Justin,
I am newbie to android and samsung
Could you let me know where shall i get started ???
also the important thing i will have to rollback to ICS from INDIA and not Canada this time.
Is it possible from India?? if yes how?? any specific version of kies software required??

That's no problems, we don't actually use Kies to do anything, plus we are downloading the ROM ourselves. I have done the same thing from Australia, so I don't think that India should be a worry
If you follow that link above, and grab the two files that I mentioned, that's the first step. Once you have them on your computer, I'll send you some USB drivers, and then help you with the next steps to get it working

Help About ROM Pure S4

Hi brother. I would like to flash my phone to install S4 Pure Style.
I have a Galaxy SIII.
Model : GT-I9300
Official JB 4.1.2
Baseband : I9300XXEMA5
Kernel version : 3.0.31-1160235
Version number : JZ054K.I9300XXEMD3
SuperSu v1.34
CWM Manager v3.60
I wonder if there is no risk that I brick my phone

There is always a risk when flashing anything to your phone. Also beware that by unlocking + rooting your phone, you most probably have already voided your warranty, so if it does indeed get bricked, Samsung cannot help you.
That said, if you read everything before you flash, and are careful and use the search tool, you most likely will be successful in flashing whatever you want to your phone. All it takes is a little patience and knowledge.

pure s4 v4
hy do you have heating andbattery draining issues with pure s4 rom v4 ?

Can I CWM a non-development phone bought in the shop?

Do I need one of those "vanilla" developer phones if I'm to install a custom ROM on my Note 3? As far as I know, nope. You can root any Android phone.
I'm fairly sure that I can ClockWorkMod + install custom ROM on a phone I purchase in a shop. But I just want to make sure .
Thank you in advance .

You are joking, right ?
If not, yes.

Although my question seemed that of a noob, I can assure you I am not. My first rooted phone was HTC Tytn2 which I rooted using Duty's ROM's which I found here back in 2008. So no worries . Now I have a rooted SG2. I know all the procedures, safety steps and so on.
The reason I asked such a dumb question was that I had a 1% uncertainty regarding this, which I was unwilling to risk on.
As far as I know, the so-called dev-phones are simply loaded with a vanilla version of Android, no Samsung bloatware.
Anyway, thank you guys for calming my fears .

There´s only one Google Edition phone in Samsung, the S4. Still, you can get a "normal" S4 and still flash it like crazy.
