[Q] Question about rooting my phone

Ok soo I am thinking about rooting my Sony Ericsson and I wanted too know if it's worth it or not.. I know there are alot of great apps that you can get.. but I heard that you can get free 3g when you root you're device, is this true? and also I wanna know if I shouldn't root my phone and just not take the risk..
I also have a problem with the phone typing by itself sometimes and I have to restart it a few times and it quits and goes back to normal.. any help on this?

lol.. u won't get free 3g after rooting..someone trolled you!!
rooting will void ur software warranty of phone!
But it has it's own advantages, u could use custom rom and save battery, RAM through tweaks!
you could get hardware acceleration via Cyanogenmod and play certain games which are not compatible with ur phone!
Find ur device forum for more details! Just use search bar on the top right corner!
as for ur problem, dust and moisture can cause this..remove screen protector and wipe the screen and apply new protector
if problem persists, show it to service if u are under warranty!

My advice is always the same.
Find a reason to root your device before just doing it.
A custom recovery can be nice, but do you really need one ?
Custom ROMs can be nice, but do you want to take the risks they come with ? Just scroll through these forums and see all the posts about people who have bricked their devices - even people who had good experience and knew what they were doing. Sometimes things go wrong - are you willing to pay to have your device repaired if you brick it ?
Rooting alone opens you up to some security risks - so there's really no point in rooting unless you have a plan about what you want to do with it and understand the risks and what you can do to make sure you don't do something bad.
Yeah, these things can do some cool stuff - and if you would like it it can be worth it. But if you don't really care, it's not.
Do some research. Decide what you want to do.

I rooted my Desire for two reasons: 1 To upgrade to ICS
2 To run many apps without
filling up my internal memory. I'm really happy with the result and
if i find support for Android 5.0 in the future i'll go for it.
If you use it as a phone only don't risk it.

I have another question.. If I root my phone.. will I get the latest updates? Cause my phone only has 2.3.3 and I see alot of people will 4.0 and I was wondering if I do root it .. is it possible to get 4.0 or greater than 2.3.3?
and thanks for helping me

Okay, there are two kinds of "updates". You can still get OTA carrier updates with root only, but you may lose root in doing so.
Then there are custom ROMs. I have no idea if an ICS ROM is available for your phone - Google it or search the forum and see. Beware that these typically do not work 100% perfectly. If there is a custom ROM depends in if someone put the time into making it or not.

If you root your phone you won't have to worry about updates from your carrier, nor will you want it. All you will do is keep up with the thread of the ROM of your choice and see if the developer has updated the ROM. As far as getting a certain version of Android for your phone it's all entirely on the phone you have. Look around for a forum for your specific device and check their development section to see what ROMs they have available for you.

That's "permanent".... or you can "find" someone who can do it for your device. What you can read by "it never gonna happen" ^^

Thread moved to General Q&A.
Aside from the name there is likely nothing in common with the other devices. I highly recommend not flashing anything made for the S4 as there is a good chance it brick your device.
You'll need to look for android exploits that work on your specific version of android and create a custom version of your devices own ROM and recovery.

I think it depends on which rom you use, rom cook or stock.
If you use rom cook then you can find a rom in I9500 Development section.
If you use stock rom then you can download the suitable version here: www.samsung-updates.com/‎
You're gonna need odin, Kies to flash the rom. Further instructions you can search in the forum I think.

Hi,
Thank once again for your help. I´m not sure what rom is used because I buy the phone from a guy that was selling in a small market, I am pretty sure is a copy, the brand is SPRD. I do think that Samsung rooms are no suitable for this device so It as to be one used by this brand and model. The room in used is jdq39.i9500zsuamdf.
I´m new in android area, up until now I´ve been used IOS phone, so I be thankful to any help I can get to put this phone running.
Regards,
Carlos

Sorry I don't really get it. Basically is your phone Samsung Galaxy S4 I9500 (causer there are different version for Galaxy S4 I9505, I9506...).
You can check this by going to Settings ->More-> About Device-> MOdel number to make sure.
Regarding the SPRD, where is it on the phone ? I think it means Singapore.

Hi,
The phone is a clone, not an original Samsung, it was made in china. The SPRD I think stands for spreadtrum. After some research it came to a conclusion that this phone are also known as Feiteng.
So my main problem is not sure what rom to use.

Well. sorry Carlos, in this case i don't know which rom to use to flash your phone cause Chinese Branded Phones are not well supported on XDA.
Let's wait for someone else who may know the solutions.
Good luck !

Hi Charles, I have the same mobile than yours, if you want I can spend the rom, but has a couple of problems, 1-supuesamente this rooted but using apps as root unninstaller, the app gives a message that says "your device is not rooted ... "but with other apps like SET CPU if that is rooted out. if still want it I'll pass, but could you tell me the exact steps to extract the rom. and you could send your rom that you will try to fix that problem of yours. PD maybe the problem is that you put your other launcher and you selected as the default, and surely this launcher is not supported by your device which produces a black screen. ee had problem when you install a miui launcher. regards PD2 if accomplished putting on the ro stock or you fixed your problem I pray you send me the link to download the rom or I upload the back up of your rom.

Envizen EM63TX

I was considering picking one of these tabs up. The specs seem better than my sm-t210, it's even running KK 4.4. and the price is pretty good too. I can't really find any info on it, like how to root it, but any help would be appreciated. I have to have root on all my devices. I saw another thread on here about rooting a similar Envizen tablet, I wonder if that would work on this device too.
Again, any help or feedback would be appreciated.

I was finally able to get this tablet rooted. I Used a Chinese root App. called VROOT V1.7.9.2. This was the only version of this App. that I got to work with this tablet. The newer version did not root. I did try many other common one-click Apk's & and pc programs but no ROOT. I have successfully rooted 5 of these tablets with this version of VROOT.
P.S. did AnTuTu Benchmark and it scored 20043

I'd like a link to it too if you don't mind, and maybe instructions too. I guess that score from AnTuTu Benchmark was pretty good?
Or even if you would consider selling one already rooted, that would work too. Where are you located?

I received my unit 3 days ago and this worked for me I am rooted without issue vroot installs some crap that is hard to get rid of I used titanium back up to uninstall.
Also I can't get titanium backup to do a back up it say insufficient space the unit uses sdcard1 for the operating system and usb storage for the install partition so my sdcard is called sdcard0 this could be the issue. I tried sdcard fix but still not working.

Is there any CUSTOM ROM for Archos 55 Platinum?

Hi everyone! I have hugely research on all forums and google also but I'm afraid it does not exist . But that does not prevent me either my question here hoping that this is the right place to find answers to my question.

Hi,
With the program "Debloater" deleted all google services from my phone, and a lot more.
So I can not start a "recovery mopus" because the services are deleted.
From the archos support you can find or get no answer:
I must and would like another Android version to flashen the phone, since the 5.1 android version is infected with a virus.
I need the full help to a different android version to play / new firmware or synonymous flash.
How do I do it, and what do I need it for?
Archos support gives very little information how to do that. The phone is new and too bad to throw it into the garbage. Especially since I'm not rich and I can not buy a new phone.
Please for your help and thanks for their effort

It depends on if the stock firmware for your device has been made available to the public, to find if it is available, do a Google search for:
"Return to stock (your model number)"
If that doesn't find anything then your firmware isn't available and you'll have a hard time finding anything. You'll have to put something together from similar devices and modify it to work on yours, if you aren't a developer with extensive knowledge then chances are you won't be able achieve this.
