thank you so much. so i need to install custom rom?

ok i picked Darky's v9.2 Extreme Edition to install, but in description it says i need root access!? but i already pointed that i cant root my device
it says this:
1. - Android needs Root Access. (For Froyo 2.2 and 2.2.1)
You need to grant yourself superuser access to system files on the phone. You also need Recovery 2e. You do that by installing CF-Root using the Odin flashing software.
what do i do?

You don't need a custom rom to get root. I suggest going to the galaxy s forums and read the sticky threads there

thanks, i rooted it with SuperOneClickv1.7 )

Galaxy S2 rooting help

Hi all,
I am new to the galaxy sII phone and this is a great forum for info and help looking at previous posts, and I have some unix experience.
In a nutshell the only issue I have is which cf-root file do I need and where can I get it from. The latest rooting procedure would also be great, as there a quite a few different ones on the net.
I also found out that you can add root to he stock kernal or get a unsecure kernal. Which option is better? Below are the Phone details, thanks.
GT-I9100 Kernal version is i9100BOKF3-CL255512
BASEBAND VERSION IS I9100BOKF1
CSC I9100TMUKF1

Anyone have an answer, please, please, please.

Hope this helps

[Q] Samsung Galaxy S I9000 Root/Flash/Voodoo Help (XWJVN)

Hello xda peeps,
This is my first post on the site so here's to hoping I don't break any rules .
I have recently upgraded to firmware 2.3.3 on my Samsung Galaxy S I9000 with above mentioned Kernel - XWJVN. I know there is a related post in the development section but I am yet to find a simplistic explanation of:
1. How I would firstly root the phone to access superuser rights.
2. What the most useful changes would be to make to my phone once it is rooted, considering I am still relatively noob.
3. Pretty much anything else I would need to know, ie. basic explanations of rooting, roms, flashing etc.
I apologise in advance if aforementioned have been answered to suit a newbie such as myself but I was not able to locate them anywhere on the site.
Any help would be apprecaited peeps.
Thanks
Aurnen

[Q] New Android Noob

Hey guys,
I just purchased a used Asus Transformer off of Ebay and it has arrived yesterday. I'm pretty much an Android noob but to my understanding the Asus has already been Rooted. From the description given on Ebay the device seems to have a Rom called Android Revolution HD (or something) What I want to know is how can I tell if my device has this Rom installed since it looks exactly like the Asus stock firmware? (Just in case this version is outdated or I want to change to a new Rom) I also see that this device also has a custom kernel ([email protected]) My question is, is it possible to return to the stock kernel of Honeycomb? Or is there any recommended kernels out there? Is it possible to flash a new kernel without affecting the Rom or Root? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks for helping a noob out!

Did you buy it from someone else?

Yeah I purchased off of someone else on Ebay. I did ask him to unroot and restore to factory settings which i thought he did since I'm not too familiar with Android. However after some reading last night I found out that the device was still rooted since it had the app Superuser. That's why i want to know how can i tell if the device is still running the Android Revolution HD Rom or not. Since I don't know if he removed it or not.

You can identify it at about phone or phones detail.. Theres a build number that state your rom

Oh so the build number will indicate if it's a custom Rom or not?

Depends.. Usually itstated what rom you use..

Hello everyone, I'm not sure about which section to post this but, I have read the threads about rooting and going down the ''proper channel'' to root, SE says, if my Bootloader unlock allowed says 'NO', rooting can't be done. I just bought an Xperia Play800i and it says NO.
Is there any way to root it? Also, what is recommended first in your opinion > 1.(Unlock,Root,Flash) or 2.(Unlock,Flash,Root) or 3.(Root,Unlock,Flash).
Many thanks in advance.

hope this helps..

sorry but in Samsung galaxy plus (i9001) where i can look to see that effectively is my custom rom installed?

Try going into settings and looking at device info. It may have what rom it is running in there. If not, I am not sure where else you could find that out.

Galaxy Tab 4 7. SMT230 First Root

Hi All,
New to rooting (but not to software) and trying to get my feet wet by rooting an old Tab 4 7.0
I did some preliminary reading and if I understood correctly:
1) Give yourself root acees
2) Access your bootloader
3) Install a custom rom?
What software do you recommend for each step? It seems a lot fo the guides use software that has since been tagged as unsafe.
As for apps, can anyone recommend a custom ROM for the Tab 4? I was also interested in a kernel since battery life can be a problem. Any other app recommendations are welcome.
Really appreciate the help, its cool what you guys do here!
