Ok so if I root my phone, will I render my insurance useless? What benefits are there? As when I rooted my S2 I just found it very novel, but don't feel like I got to experience the full benefits of it.

For the average user there is no need for root to be honest. It is only when you really get into learning and modding will it be handy. But flashing custom roms has become the cool thing to do (can't wait for that to blow over) and you must have root to do it.

I'm primarily wanting to do it so that the phone believes my sd card is internal memory. Cheers for the reply

Looking at your device you should have native move apps to sd ability. Without the need for root.
Nope no apps install onto the external SD card on the S3, they partially install at the phones discretion, i have no control over it. So the internal memory fills exceptionally fast.

Why do you have to find a spare SD?
Procedure says process will make SD card a golden card for S-off. I might be wrong but it appears that the S-off command needs to get put on the SD card before it gets activated and allows root. Or is that wrong?

I also thought it would make my sd card unusable afterwards. However, that was not the case, you can use it with no issues.

ok, there´s no need to use a different sdcard. The hack kit does not touch the information in it and after the whole process is done it wipes de goldcard from it...you don´t need to keep either.
I have run the kit with my current sdcard and there´s no need to change it...make a back up just for precaution, but it does not format it....
Great. Thanks for the info. I did find a small 2GB card I can use too.

Yep, the only fact that u have to take into consideration is that the sdcard needs not to be corrupted...otherwise it will fails to work as a goldcard.
Thanks everyone. Phone is rooted.

What is the best way to format your SD card for these blazes? I see a lot of mixed results when Google-ing.
I need to wipe pretty much everything, I know I have gremlins.
Well it was mentioned by a Dev that there might be one soon
Don't ask for eta, but he mentioned it so we can hope >.<

You cannot do that with ICS and above versions of Android, there is app called App2SD which will swap your internal memory with SD card but you need to be rooted and install Intd to make the app work.
Again there is no easy way
Got other way without root the device ... now I ran out of space ..

Use exynos exploit to root. Search forum for it.
Once rooted search for link2sd and it will let u move game data to sd card. Search forum for it. Only hard part is how to partition sd card.
App2sd does not work for note 10.1.

My suggestion is that you read up on this. You hardly even know what you're asking for.
Before you root any device you should at least know something about it. Just root it won't make it any better without modding, tweaking etc.
You can end up with a brick.
Rooting won't make it faster. Rooting is like unlocking a door to a control room - it doesn't change anything unless you know how to use the controls.
Look in here or Google for how to root your device if you're sure it's the right choice. You can brick it an thereby make it infinitely slower if you're not careful. You will need to do more than just installing some apps that require you to have already rooted for them to work.
Unless you can install CWM (and look into TWRP before doing that) from a usb connects without root, you're not going to be helped by that at all. It won't make your tablet faster, anyway. Look up what it is before trying to install it or anything else.

Ok guys thanks for waking me up out of this bad dream! lol
Well you know i take ur advice, read something about it and then decide.
Is there even a good solution to make it a bit faster?
Cause when i play real racing 3 some tracks lags a bit , while with others
it wont.

R: NEED HELP WITH ROOT please read thanks!
Root is a good idea to make your tablet faster. If you want to overclock cpu or gpu or manage services or pretty much do anything to your phone (which can go from normal system cache cleaning to flashing a different, lighter and faster, version of android to your tablet).
So, yes, if you want to make your tablet really faster (a noticeable change) it would be smart to root it...but you gotta search the web understand what you are gonna do how you are gonna do it also if it works most of the times or its a complete fails. Search the web! U will find out all the risks and advantages to modding your android.
If your want to root it look for it on google, youtube, or here (it's surely already been posted somewhere).
Just use these keywords for your search
'Your tablet name/model' 'android version' root.
Before overclokking or whatsoever, know that exceeding your limits (especially if your device is not high end) can lead you to break your tablet completely. too much modding can lead to fast battery drainage, overheating and possibly meltdown of hardware components
So be careful what you do!

Do you know how to enter recovery mode on your tab?
If you do you can try to download a generic-root-signed.zip
No name tablets usually don't have a private key for files so it might work to root it that way. Otherwise you can try Root_with_Restore_by_Bin4ry.
There are many ways to try...
Hello Tyson
Well iam gonna try it thanks for your advice.
