rooting is rooting, it doesn't have anything to do with recovery it is just giving you superuser permisions after you instlall SU and busybox from PlayStore , after root you will be able to install a custom recovery and after that you can install custom roms/kernels

If you flash either of the custom ROM's for EC10 they come pre-rooted, this would be the only way at this time. Otherwise you're forced to use SuperOneClick which uses a PC.
And I can't flash without root correct?

Root question

Just out of curiosity, is it possible to root without cmw and without a computer?

No, you need a cistom recovery installed on phone to flash the su file
You can try twrp recovery that uses goo manager to install its twrp but I think(99.999% sure) u have to be rooted first
You can read my link in my sig about rooting

Need root to have the recovery script.... You could go buy an original gangster Android 1.x phone and use androot or z4root and ginger break
All of which don't work on the sky rocket
Download goo manager and go to a friends house goo has All the files needed like super user and odin

Rooting affects

Hi I'm new here.I wanted to know if I root my Galaxy core will it change my kernel or baseband version or will make any other changes.I have seen some people complaining that rooting changes the kernel of their device.So i want to know if that's true or not
I am not an expert but i think no.
What you are talking is propable "bootloader unlock"

no anything not change after rooting only you will get grand permisson to use root app or system app and you can modify system . not change kernel but after rooting you can change kernel but some kernel need CWM to install kernel.

Nope, use framaroot... It is safe way to root and you can unroot and reroot infinite times.
You will need custom kernel to change it...

The only possible explanation I can think of is those users use apps to install custom kernels and etc. If you just root your device, nothing will change except for the fact that now, you can give apps root permissions to edit the system of your phone. If you just try to be careful of what apps you try after rooting, you won't have those problems. One of the apps you should be careful of is "rom manager". You should do some research before you try root apps.

Thank you so much. Where do I get framaroot? I looked on the Play Store but it is not there. When I get it, will that allow me to put a recovery on it?

see the list of supported devices.
its only for rooting and it doesnt help you with installing recovery.
Is there a way you recommend installing a recovery?I've looked on cyanogen mod but I don't think they support my device. Any ideas?

Wwhich device are you using ???
All devices have a recovery mode . While rooting you are replacing a recovery mode like cwm .

what phone?
I've never had an issue rooting... its gotten pretty safe, as long as you follow the steps closely you shouldn't have any issues or worries about bricking anything.
There are backup options of your rom after you root it. Clockworkmod Rom Manager makes backups and installing new rooms as easy as 3 buttons.
Since the galaxy player 5 us version is older device is there a clockwork mod recovery for it?

[Q] root without pc

I tried many ways to make root without pc because my pc wasn't working please help i am using note 2
Try baidu root. Or Framaroot. Or Rootmaster. Or search for more rooting applications applicable for your device. Basically those are the easiest way yet of rooting most of android devices.
