I'm interested! I wish this phone had its own space here at xda.

Working on a rom dump just for that the problem is that I don't own the phone. So I get limited time with my good friends phone. Also I got a family so us getting together to do this stuff is kinda hard. If I get a rom dump I might be able to port cm7 to this model. I am no major developer I just tinker mainly. But would like to do more and his dart is a good start for doing more.
Looking to make recovery image as well

i have the samsung dart from tmobil which is this model phone and was curious about rooting it. what kind of benefits does rooting do for a phone? also does anyone have any guide on how to root this phone?
any help would be appreciated and thanks

Download the tool plug in USB cable to phone set phone to USB debugging in (settings >manage applications>development>USB debugging) run superoneclick as administrator.
Then click the root button. Easy as pie.

ok thank you for the information. just want to ask a few questions, do you know if there are other roms that can be used with a rooted dart? also will rooting be able to help with battery life on my phone?
thanks for any help you can provide.

Well there is no custom roms as of now I am tring to get one together but without source code its not easy to do anything. But you can use an app called root explore to remove T mobile boatware. Also use any app that requires root.
Also root will be helpful when a recovery image is made for the dart. Then custom roms will be possible.

I've been working on dumping the rom but all I get is a 'segmentation fault' when using romdumper... still trying to figure all that out. I think its the way superoneclick roots it.

[Q] {Q} How To UnRoot The Atrix 2

Um I Need Help , I Rotted My Phone Some Days Ago And I Noticed How the contacts i linked with my twitter and facebook were missing , So I want To Unroot it to see if everything gose back

Which method did you use for Rooting? If you used super one click, there is an option to unroot with in. If you used another method, just do a little searching here and you will find it, I am not sure which thread it was in, but I know I saw it some days ago. Good luck!

If you used the windows one-click method there is an unroot option in that app.

I just did a factory restore, that got rid of super user and root.
btw i used the super 1 click...

where did you find the unroot option? i need to send my phone back and cant find it.

McGyver Trick is a way to charge a phone when it is Soft-Bricked, and external charger is unavailable. Search Google for more info.
Which version of Android are you running that you want to unroot? Generally, the Root.zip package itself has unroot.bat file.

Oh, wow...
I actually just want to return to it to original form.
I had rooted and tried the pac-man rom, but there are certain things
that don't work- well the gyroscope to be precise(can't play games like
temple run)...in addition the battery seems to run down faster, the network
data don't work and wi-fi is harder to pick up it seems and I experience some lag at times.
So I restored the stock OS (ICS). I just want to restore the phone to its
original form.
Thank you dearly for your assistance.
Guess I got to stay rooted then. I hope it won't be a problem
in the future though, like let's say if I wish to sell my atrix 2 or so.

Update ruined my root, what to do?

Yeah yeah i was dumb and whatever, never update when you have root!!!! Warning to newbies!
I googled my problem like 20 times but couldnt quite find any solutions so im asking you guys what to do?
My CWM app says "This version of CWM manager should be used with CF-Root v5.0 or newer. it appears you are running a different kernel. Various features have been disabled."
So i lost superuser abilities after i did an update that was a 8mb file.
What to do? Root it again? or what?

[Q] Help nothing happens when i try to root my phone

Okay my issue is that while trying to root my Motorola Atrix 2 nothing happens. i click on the Root.bat or click to root and it just says daemon tools has started etc. so my question is, is my phone just stupid or does this not work anymore i know its pretty old but i cant seem to find a way to root it. im on 4.0.4, kernel version is 3.0.8-g41e08bd.
any help would be greatly appreciated i have been trying to do this for over a day with no success so im a pretty independent person and i just cant seem to find the answer with google or youtube this time.

Try upgrading to JB 4.1.2 leak 1 (check for specific requirements in the thread though vis-a-vis your phone model specifically) & use my one click root thread in the development section.

Since it is AT&T, do not flash JB 4.1.2 (there is a separate thread for getting JB installed on to AT&T) & yeah sure AT&T can be rooted, just search in the forum and follow instructions accordingly and ask questions in relevant thread.

T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 7.0 (SM-T217T) CWM recovery and Root

Hey All,
I didn't want to risk the ban as I have found this site very useful over the years so I'm posting this here. I know a lot of work goes into finding ways to root each device when possible so I thought I'd throw my $0.02 in.
I purchased a T-Mobile (SM-T217T) Galaxy Tab 3 7.0 last night and wanted it rooted. After hours of trying every method I could (SuperOne Click, Cydia Impactor, Kingo, and every other non Odin based root I could find) I gave up and decided to try some Odin methods.
I downloaded the CWM recovery for the SM-T217S
I grabbed The Universal Root file.
And lastly Odin 3.07
BEFORE STARTING put the untouched Universal Root file on your EXTERNAL SD CARD
Put the Tab in download mode (Power + Vol DOWN)
Open Odin 3.07
Connected your Tab to the PC
Click PDA in Odin, and select the CWM file which then asks to select the recovery file inside the tarball.
Make sure the ONLY options selected are Auto Reboot and F. Reset Time and then click start.
Once the Tab turned off I let it reboot fully before touching it to make sure I didn't brick it but You can skip that and go right into recovery if you want.
Reboot into recovery (POWER +Vol. UP)
**Vol. Up and Down control line selections and Power selects the line**
Select Install Zip
Select Choose Zip From External SD Card
Select android-armeabi-universal-root-signed.zip
Select Yes
Reboot
WIN!
Once I can find a way to safely upload a a nandroid or similar back-up (maybe a more experience Dev can send me a guide/walk me through it) I'll update this post with a link for a T-Mobile stock rooted rom. Or someone else can do it after you have root.
If You were part of creating any of the root files I used (found through Google and direct linked here) please let me know so I can credit you in my post.
