[Q] Root or not Root and How? - RAZR HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Guys i read a lot of threads here... including some that have same name as mine... but they don't treat the same problem i have.
I am brazilian, i have a XT925 and i am newbie on motorola devices... my last ones were LG Optimus 3D and Sony Xperia Mini. Both was rooted and i used XDA ROMS until the time to seel so i returned to the original system on both. BUT i read motorola is hard to root, and has some problems on actualization when rooted,,, and to let things wrost, i am brazilian and i'd need Brazilian Vivo system to return to Stock if i need to.
But i didn't find a way to flash a brazilian stock system here for motorola Razr HD. I have some things in Vivo system that eats the memory so i'd like to root and maybe test some roms... but i am afraid about returning to stock if i need... i read that there is CWM and another recovery salled... Safe(something... i don't remember)... and some root, rom and recoveries e=need unlocked bootloader...
Tell me, please, what do u think about me to root or not considering the things above. And if i root, what would be better way considering i have
Android 4.1.2 ,

Which ROMs can be used for the Samsung Spica?

Hi all,
Sorry 'bout the n00b question - but are there any of the custom ROM's out there which can be used for the Samsung Spica? I think my Spica is so darn slow, so really want to spice it up a little.
Just come off a SE Xperia X1, and used to flash it every other day - which I kinda miss on my Android device.
So - how is my outlook here?
Happy new year!
No one knows anything about this?

Not going to get much help here. After all this is a forum for HTC devices. AFAIK there is'nt a lot of custom ROm development for the spica apart from Leshak's ROM. you could google it.
Cheers
Try samdroid.net. There are active forums for samsung spica rooting, kernals and custom roms alongwith lots of tweaks and mods/
Hey
I have the following
Baseband version-i570EJXJC2
Kernel 2.6.29 [email protected] #2
build eclair jpjd7
Questions-
1. Which of these is the PDA or CSC etc
2. what should i do..i have jc2....I cant use spica jc3.ops
3.all i want is to root my phone and use app2sd since my phone memory is always full.
I cant use LESHAKS........... lk2 mod without being on lk mod i guess...also this firmware is what i got here in dubai. please help me root my phone...I am so confused with this firmware. only after i flash a good european firmware and root it can i use custom roms right?
AFAIK, the only stable and popular ROM, is the one from Leshack.... lets hope cyanogen releases something... i think both can take profit of each other's work and release something wonderful (froyo + multitouch + overclock + 3D driver.... etc...)

[Q] How can I root this phone? (Oplus/O+ Android 8.7)

So I bought this new phone from (what I think) is a new company, O+ (O plus, whatever).
I've tried lots of possible methods to root their Oplus 8.7 Android phone but alas, that's not happening.
I'm a bit inexperienced when it comes to ROM and builds, etc, but if it would be any help, here are the details that I can find when I checked Settings > About Phone.
System updates: Oplus_A100ALPS.GB2.MP.V2
Model number: O+_8.7_Android
Android Version: 2.3.6
Kernel Version: 2.6.35.7
Build number: Oplus_A100ALPS.GB2.MP.V2
I really hope someone can help me here. Thank you.
I also have this phone. Tried using different Rooting software to no avail. The farthest I have gone to "semi-rooting" it is to change the default installation of apps and games to directly go to the SD. This phone has really bad internal memory size. Anyway, let me know if you discover a way to root this. Cheers

how can i change the default installation of apps and games to sd card. I also have this phone and the only problem that i have is the size of the internal memory. pls teach me how to do the semi rooting.. tnx..
rooting
yep, have the same phone with same problems as with you guys.. though i found a different way to boot up the phone towards its "factory s
et-up" : turn off your phone, then after a while, simultaneously press volume down key and power button, it should bring you to the set-up i mentioned..im quite hesitant to tweak at the settings for it might break my phone, though i never found the "download" setting which ive seen in other phones has that setup which you could upload certain files in relation to rooting the phone.. Again i turned off the phone, this time i pressed volume key up and power button, and the Triangle sign with the exclamation point inside it (most known as the warning sign) with the android mascot beside the warning sign appearing on the screen, may be this leads to that "rooting" enigma we have.. hope this helps, im not a hacker but hope this leads to something.. keep me posted you guys.. thanks

[Q] Rooted rom or root method for Ice Cream Sandwich on SGH-T769

Rooted rom or root method for Ice Cream Sandwich on SGH-T769
Is this the right forum?
I dont know how much information you need, so explains my post.
Specifically the Samsung Galaxy Blaze 4G (SGH-T769), Android version 4.0.4, Baseband version T769UVMB1, Kernel version

I am not into experimentation with custom roms; I want ICS rooted so to remove unneeded and unwanted apps. I would also like an assessment of apps safe to remove, and again not experimental, but safe to remove without destabilizing ICS, or removal of necessary functions. I also want to tweak some settings for safe improvements in performance.
This is what I did for Gingerbread, rooted it per instructions xda, and removed unwanted apps safe to remove. I unrooted it flashed stock rom when I decided to upgrade to ICS. These successful; now have ICS, plus the security update, and want to root it, remove some apps, do some tweaks, and reinstall some apps only run on rooted.
Did I give you relevant information about what I want and my intentions? I apologize for such if I didn't. I am in Android (though I find some similarities to other Linux)
the equivalent of Newbie.
I am 70, brain still works, I believe, and want to learn to keep it working. Understand, the obvious steps in any procedure may be necessary to include for me. I am ignorant about Android more than a bit.
Respect your elders everybody lol
If I see this correctly, you want to root ICS. Click this link if you want to

The rom has to be that Baseband. My phone is a work phone. I'm a grandpa and a writer, so no wild, though elegant and beautiful creations. I just want either root method for ICS 4.0.4 T769UVMB1 rom of that.
May have to learn how to do it myself. Any books or classes you recommend? I'm in Huntsville, AL.
Thank you for your interest in helping.
I was considering getting the Google Nexus 4, except no sd slot, and battery changed with great difficulty. I watched a battery changed; it's glued down inside. Watch is done once, you dont want to do it. Now with my Blaze I carry a solar power charger and two extra charged oem batteries. I could carry two solar power chargers instead of spare batteries, same backup. The sd slot I can do without. I stream music from my home computer anyway. The Nexus solves the app problem; the apps I dont want are put on by the carrier and handset maker. Haven't found any Google system apps I dont like. I dont need to root it. The apps for unrooted I install are few now, and most from Google. I was considering the Galaxy Note III, but it aint out yet.
Thinking out visible. Excuse, apologize.

It doesn't matter what baseband you have, the root method linked to in the first reply will work just fine.
Also it doesn't matter what rom you flash either, your base band will keep. The phone will work fine on any baseband anyways, or it can be flashed to the latest one that you have from the custom recovery if it gets changed somehow.

There is no official upgrade to 6.0,
You need to install latest TWRP, and flash suitable ROM of your choice. You may need to upgrade the bootloader to latest one to avoid flickering of screen after reboot. Lot of guides here just do a search.
