Hey Guys .!
I have Recently Rooted me Gnex cuz its have been stoped getting updates ,
But then i figure out that Root & ROM'S are more fun tho
so basically im a rookie at this and i wanna know that is there any damage to the if we use the unofficial roms like ( slimkat 4.4 , [CM-11.0] [KRT16S] Dreams or CM11 )

It is pretty safe. If you are worried, wait for other people to try it first
I had a Gnex for two years, running mostly AOKP. You can trust all of the recognized developers here at XDA. If you don't want to risk it, ALWAYS make an nandroid backup.
About the only time you may damage a device is by installing a ROM for a different device. As @justmpm mentioned, if you're having doubts about a particular ROM wait for someone else to post their findings to see then if you wish to try it or not.
Take your time and READ, READ, READ... That is the biggest mistake made around here. People see something they want and just jump in to it without doing any research or doing minimal research. There's in nothing wrong with being cautious.
make a nice backup and go on the safe side!

Hi there.
Yes it is safe as long as
1- You make complete backup
2- Follow proper guide to root and install your rom
3- If you are rookie. Try those roms that have already been tested and running smoothly by others.
Hope that will help you out
Of course bad things could happen also don't forget those same problems could occur with a factory OTA update.
Besides that you could end up with features on your device either gone or broken which I imagine could also happen with a factory rom.
None of them are 100% perfect and safe it is just something you have to accept and take measures before hand to be sure you have backups and/or find knowledge you need to bring your device back from the dead.
These are also all reasons NO ONE should EVER blindly start flashing things to their device without doing some reasearch which is where most problems come from.
Just inform yourself about what you are doing and a lot of things are pretty safe to do or try.
This is about the best advice that could be given I just realized I kinda took the long way around of saying mostly the same thing haha.

Well , If you flash a compatible ROM with your device correctly , nothing will go wrong !
but always take a nandroid backup just in case
the things that can harm your phone most of the time are just kernel related just don't overclock the CPU too much and do your best to avoid kernel tweaks
and every ROM on here has a list of bugs ! so using a custom ROM is totally safe BUT you need to check the bugs list before

No, there's no problem if you flash it properly.....
I have bricked my Gionee GN 100 with a custom rom from another brand but it was the same model. So, take extreme care. I'm also not sure how to fix it. I have some backups but I used only cat. Screen is totally black the phone is technically dead.

Sorry to scare you just giving you realistic info.
Basically flash nothing without researching what you are doing is the biggest point to be taken.
Pretty much what's already been said about making sure the rom is for your specific advice. Usually it's just a soft brick if you flash the wrong rom. The real damage comes using custom kernels the wrong way. i.e. overclocking the cpu/gpu too much. That can cause permanent hardware failure...
I hard briocked my galaxy s3 and had to send it out to to be Jtaged. It was my bad though, just be careful and double check your files prior to flashing. Have ODIN on your computer and be ready to reflash as stock image if you mess somehting up too
I have messed up flashing loads of times and even when I thought my phone(s) was gone for good, I always found a way to bring it back...even if it takes a few hours/days haha...

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.
Hello all!
This is my first post here and I thank all for comments in advance - they are very appreciated!
So I was very new to the aspect of rooting when I first got my Sprint GS3, but I read posts here and watched many tutorials on youtube and successfully rooted my device using Odin, then using Goomanager flashed CM 10.1 without a hitch. I had a custom kernel as well ( do not remember the name ), so when I updated my ROM I went hunting for new kernels as well. On an XDA (forgot the name/link) thread I found kernels compatible for CM 10.1, but when I flashed it my phone got bricked. No drivers found, won't boot into recovery or download, taking out and replacing battery wont work - not even an LED light. I said that I lost it and received a new one, but I was wondering why it got bricked (I have a bad gut feeling I did something as dumb as getting an international version kernel as I heard they would not be compatible?) And if there are links for a kernel for a stock firmware rooted GS3 - I have not seen one and I am nervous on finding more seeing as how I already bricked one phone. Thanks for the help!!! I just want to be more educated on this so I do not have to spend another 150$ in replacements. Thanks!

Just stick with the kernel provided in the rom you are using. The developer picked or made that kernel for a reason.

Only flash kernels that are in your device threads. Next time leave out what you did to get it replaced as that is fraud and not looked at well here.

Hello EVERYONE,
I rooted my device yesterday and decided to install custom ROM: CM10 (CynogenMod). Honestly I don't like it. I just want to go back to stock EVERYTHING, touchwiz. I don't care so much about UNrooting as to going back to touchwiz is my main concern. I'm pretty sure I can UNroot it since there is SO MANY friggin' videos on YouTube on how to do it and NONE on how to flash it back to stock BEFORE UNrooting. Though I'm confident that I'd be able to UNroot it I was just wondering if it was ok to do just that WHILE Cynogen is my current ROM because I don't care if it deletes everything while doing that, I just want to go back to stock. ALL the vids on YouTube are either of Verizon models, UK or ALREADY on stock ROM and only showing UNrooting. So as you can see guys I'm pretty nervous and would appreciate ANY kind of help. And if it helps I backedup on Titanium before flashing to CM and my S3model is the Sprint version, SPH_L710. THANKS GUYS.
just install a launcher
Why don't you try a different ROM or even a launcher. And remember, if you haven't bricked a phone, you just haven't flashed enough LOL

I'm so tired of people rooting and flashing stuff WITHOUT making sure that they can restock. This leads to a lot of talking about the same things over and over again. Also if you look on xda you will find some guides on how to restock.
I want to play a game. I'll give you the main steps on how to solve this but you will have to SEARCH before POSTING.
1. www.sammobile.com
2. download rom in zip file
3. extract the .TAR file which is to be found inside the zip(it's only one file, you can't possibly miss it)
4. connected phone while in download mode
5. ODIN, PDA, insert .TAR
6. start and done.
(to make it easier the steps are in the right order)
Before you do anything, SEARCH and make sure you understand the procedure. When you think you understood give me a reply and tell me what you have to do to make it work so you won't screw things up even worse.
Consider forgiving me for talking like a jerk, I'm not like this usually, but this is at least the 15th time I see someone asking how to restock.
Good luck.
And please, members of the xda forum, please, DON'T give him any links and detailed guides on how to do this. the 1st rule of the xda forum is SEARCH BEFORE POSTING (forum rules) so he has to learn it himself.
-not to mention the whole thread is posted in the wrong section. it should've been in the s3's forum-

Hey Sewrizer,
What's Up man, dude No worries man your frustration is well understood. Don't apologize, I LITERALLY woke up yesterday and decided to get into this whole rooting thing since my phone is off. Did enough research to get it done by not UNdone. I was too impatient to pay attention to the whole backUp and restore process. But I carefully read your rules to your game, lol, and understand them completely. In fact the whole Sammobile was my first idea but sammobile's registration wasn't working at the time. Working now and made my username etc. Now its just telling to wait for my download, 13min., due to traffic? Anyways I do have Odin. I know how to extract, but to make sure. Am I USB debugging before I power down and go into download mode? You don't have to reply but I REALLY do appreciate you taking the time out to make that list. AND please dude, no worries on the jerk attitude bro. I'm your student man, teach me man its all good. Oh i'm new to forums too so I'm not too sure on where the S3 Q&A is. But again THANKS SEWRIZER! you're great man.

My friend currently has CWM recovery but it's harder to interact with and shows a lot of errors sometimes. How can he switch to TWRP? Does he have to factory reset and then root and then twrp or is there a simpler method? Also he is interested to have a custom rom on his phone. Any suggestions? And also how can he get a rom? Is it as direct as other devices? Just flash in twrp? Pls n tq in advance

Haha, funny question, if you ask....:silly:
Lemme get this straight:
I know A LOT of ROMs for this phone, but...
I know NONE that would work.
Because I assume you aren't doing anything to the kernel, it's like living on the edge where you take things dangerously. As a bro, just play with XPOSED and do your best to pimp your stock rom. I had enough for about 15 modules.
However, if you found one that's work, hook me up.:laugh:

Well a tale from a citizen full of noobs has to be told...
You are among the luckiest person in the world to have an ROW (Registered Original for Worldwide) model of this phone, I assume by you able to flash kernels. We, received models of ALMOST ALL models of Lenovo phone here (Malaysia), that ISN'T SUPPOSEDLY SHIPPED OUT FROM CHINA, shipped here. So EACH (yes, each from a batch of shipping ) phone has a SLIGHT difference in build, firmware, libraries, SystemUI.apk versions, and the difference is, just a little numbers on the file hash that's crucial to it, makes ROMs, recoveries that is designed for that model TOTALLY NOT COMPATIBLE with the phone.
The culprit is this >>
ILLEGAL SHIPPING!
Undercovered by (not confirmed) the GOVERNMENT itself, sometimes...
So, we unlucky fellows stuck with stock ROM and some of them are CRAPPY CHEAP JUNK OF IMPOSTORS that catches the eye of its victim. Original models, ya say, is RIDICULOUSLY PRICEY because of the government's mother-effing TAXES. That's my story.:crying:

At first hi to all of you , you might know me I made twrp and the first root and patched stuff to be able to run AOSP , so but lately I came to the conclusion that the g7 is just not a good device for devs , so I unrooted installed stock and relocked my boot loader.
From this point of time any given support for the device by me will be ended and never picked up again.
Im sry but if u like the device and want rom etc you need to do it yourself now

Hi, so sad to read this, but thanks for your great work. Can i ask you why you stop with this awesome phone? What is the main problem?
Sorry to hear those news, J0SH1X. Same question as kimo9hero, what did lead to the decision of yours? (If you allow us asking
@J0SH1X thanks for all your work, but I think we're naive if we consider any recent LG phone "developer friendly" since all their latest models were lacking support even from the company (very late updates).
Guys there is hope that we'll see modding and roms for our g7?
I don't think so, without at least one enthusiastic dev it's not possible. There are no resources so any potential dev have to figure everything out by himself, constantly risking to brick an expensive device. Luckily, the stock 10f rom works real well and the hardware is superb. One just risk living without some typical root utilities.
I would be happy for some dev picking it up, but I don't count on it.
