Which is the best way have a rooted or unrooted android? I have galaxy tab 2 gt-p5110 and im unrooted , i think to root but i dont know, is this the best choice? Will this damage my tab?

go for it ! you will be able to use many apps that need root, flash custom roms, etc
if you read around you will find that you can get back to stock as simply, when you want

rooted nexus s can do OTA update ?

hello everybody , before i proceed to root my phone ,
can i update my phone through OTA once i rooted , but locked back the bootloader?
You can as long as you didn't remove any stock apps. The better idea would be to grab a pre-rooted stock ROM (or any other for that matter) from the dev section...

There are quite a few radios floating around now, at the moment. Really, they're different for everyone depending on where you are. A good spot to take a look at would be here - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1573218.

Most up to date stock ROM for HTC Inspire AT&T

Hey Guys,
I wanted to ask a quick question. I am currently running LeeDroid's rom and I am done with it. I want to go back to what comes with original rom with ATT. I have HTC Inspire any recommendations where I can get it? I tried searching the forum but all the stuff seems from the begining of the year. I am not sure if there is something more recent. I really appreciate your help.
Thanks

If I understand you correctly, you could just use the Ace Advanced Hack Kit (you're gonna have to Google for it, the developer pulled his work from XDA and thus it would not be proper to link to it) to unroot and flash back to the stock ROM, then use the Software Update to update to the latest version. Alternatively, Gizmoe has taken the latest stock ROM update and rooted it. You could always flash that and keep root, if you wish.
It was the first ROM on the I4G's developement page. Jeez peeps, search for it

It's not pure stock, bloatware is gone, there's some tweaks, and you retain root.
If you want to lose root (not sure why anyone would), you can download the update package from HTC. You'll probably lose everything you have , but you'll be on 100% pure stock.
Installing OTA update if you're rooted doesn't work
tried it, update does not launch, but again, why would you

Looking for ROMs

Hi Guys,
I'm very new to the world of playing with phone Roms and rooting so please bear with me.
I have a Galaxy S6 (SM-G920F) that I am playing with at the moment. I wonder if it is possible to flash it with a ROM that is already rooted so I don't have to go through the effort and risk of trying to root it after flashing.
If so, where can I go looking for such a ROM. Also where can I get the stock ROM for this phone ?
Kind regards and thanks.
Stock can be found in sammobile.
As for a pre-rooted ROM without going through the effort... if you have a custom recovery, sure. Most of the ones available have it.
