This is the discussion thread for http://rootmyandroiddevice.com/.
This website is built to provide everyone with a easy way to root their Android.
The user will only have to enter his device model number and he will be presented with the best methode to root it.
Please use this thread to give me some Feedback or ask for other devices to be added to this database.

So I just Added the LG G2...

Samsung Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 Lte and WIfi editions are also available.
Please ask for new devices.

We now have the Galaxy Ace 3

Rooted Samsung S Plus
I recently rooted my Samsung S plus with Kitkat OS.My phone was really slow and buggy with gingerbread OS but it feels like it drank some Redbull . It is really easy to root your device and flash a custom ROM onto it

I need contributers writing new tutorials, you will even get paid, once the site starts, you will get the advertising revenue of your post.

China Star N8000 MTK6582 compatable with LMT launcher

hi everyone just to let people know that the chinese device "china" star note 3 N8000 MTK 6582 is compatable with the latest version of LMT launcher...and as per all info your device must be rooted first before installation.
if anyone is a noob to android devices,(and i know i am as i have just been gifted my first ever smart phone this feb),and you need help with rooting your chinese device then head on over to "youtube" for some excellent tutorials.
the most helpful and clearest tutorial i found was by "ITXtutor" who has his own website dedicated only to chinese devices,(although they do sometimes help with other types),titled "Chinadevices" and his tutorials cover most problems and software including..rooting,CWM,flashing ROM..etc,etc....
And finaly may i point out that the latest version of "LMT launcher" is extreeeemly user friendly and of course i must give a big shout to XDA's very own "noname81" who took the time to give us all the LMT launcher info...have a great day.
and in the famous words of spock...."live long and prosper"...peace out

Do You Know Of Something That A Developer Has Not Yet Done? Tell/Request It Here!

The request that you make is intended to be for the purpose of having a collection of development ideas from the amazing XDA community, all in one place. This will give developers a single place to go to get ideas, see what people are wanting, and possibly get involved in helping to build something. I will soon be looking for small development projects myself, just to gain experience and knowledge before I move on to my bigger personal projects. Other members are looking for projects at this very moment, both big and small. I hope that this will be a place where developers and members can all join together and share their ideas and talents!
So if you would like to see your idea become a reality in the future, then please post your request today (custom kernels, recoveries, ROM's, apps, Xposed modules, tweaks, scripts, .zip files, root, bootloader unlock, themes, mods, tools, etc., or something completely new)! Some things could be very quick and easy to develop. A script, Xposed module, etc., could be developed with very little work involved (sometimes). Replies from developers are not anticipated and they are not standing by to fulfill your every request (especially if you have that random device with no developer support anywhere, as in some cases the developer would need to have the same device as you do). Please remember that there is no guarantee that anyone will be able to develop the request that you have, or that it is even possible. Any modifications done to your device is done at your own risk, so please make a nandroid backup prior to any changes.
Here are a couple example requests. Remember that if you want your post to even be looked at seriously you must include plenty of details. Feel free to follow these examples to keep this thread clean and informative...​
Device: Sprint Galaxy S3 (ND8)
ROM: Latest CM 12.1 nightly (Android 5.1.1)
Rooted: Yes
Recovery: TWRP 2.8.7.0
Request: Silent mode for ringer volume
Reason: Volume goes to vibrate, but not all the way to silent like when I was on android 4.4.2. When I am in a meeting, vibrate mode is still audible in a quiet room
Other: Willing to donate $10 to a developer for a solution to this
Device: Sprint Galaxy S8
ROM: Stock (Android 7.0)
Rooted: No
Recovery: Stock recovery
Request: Looking for root
Reason: Many people are looking for a way to root this device and no one has been able to do it yet
Other: I would be very thankful if someone could find a solution to this. I do not have this device, but my sister does
Reserved
1st
att htc m8. rooted. unlocked bootloader. superCID. twrp 2.8.7.0. firmware 4.16.401.10. hboot 3.19. currently running slim 4.4.4.
i would like[]STRIKE][love to see more security-oriented-built-roms (for all devices really).
something along the lines of tails/anonymousOS , unaROM , omni , etc.
there is a "pure" AOSP lolli rom which i consider a step forward and thank you to the dev and maintainer. if interested can find here : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=3208859
:thumbup: @Alberto97 , @Soham jambhekar , [MENTION=6484426]yeshwanthvshenoy , & @srisurya95.
am certainly no developer myself but could potentially "guiena pig" a test build.
thanks for reading.
thanks for a great idea for a thread.
"all i can really do is stay out of my own way and let the will of heaven be done"

"all i can really do is stay out of my own way and let the will of heaven be done"
Device: Sprint Galaxy S3 (ND8)
ROM: Latest CM 12.1 nightly (Android 5.1.1)
Rooted: Yes
Recovery: TWRP 2.8.7.0
Request: another app like Xblast...http://http://forum.xda-developers....d-xblasttools-quiethours-centerclock-t2294419
Reason: this was coolest app for customization, but less and less works on cm nightlies and i cant go back to kk. only a couple things work now and i finally gave up on it.
Other: i would donate a couple bucks if it was similar enough
Device: All devices using tapatalk
Request: Xposed module or something that will display signatures on xda
Reason: Many people using tapatalk always say to others, "i cant see ur sig. im using tapatalk. i feel like this could be solved by a module or something that auto enters it as reg text at the bottom of each post u make. although gifs and img may not work, at least it would be most of a sig showing
Other: i dont use tapatalk but this or something similar would be a neat project and maybe easy
Device: Any
Request: program that will show u who is watching ur items on ebay
Reason: it would be awesome to know who is watching utems so u can message them or make them an offer they cant refuse to sell quick! idk if its possible but it would be cool!

Please is there anyway to make a flashable script or cron script that will make @zeppelinrox sclean(clear dalvik cache) script run once every week from the xbin or bin folder?

[Completed] I can't get my Galaxy S4 Mini rooted

I own a Samsung Galaxy S4 mini, with android 4.4.2 and it's build id is I9195XXUCOC1
The model is GT-I9195
I searched on this site and other for root help, but I only found root processes for other build ids
I found a site which explains rooting my build id(sorry, I can't post links yet), but after completing each step my device isn't rooted
This is my first android (I had a jailbroken iphone, but didn't like too much) and I already have bricks in my backyard and I don't want another one
Thanks for reading this and maybe helping me :good:

[Completed] Lenovo Vibe Shot Z90-3 (NOT Z90-7) Firmware/ROM Request

Hey Everyone,
Long story short, i bought a Lenovo z90-7 on ebay from china. I received a z90-3 in the mail.
Couldnt get them to ship z90-7 for replacement, so i got a full refund from ebay. free phone. yay.
Phone is loaded with bloatware, and spyware. every 30 mins a message pops up trying to get me to download a new piece of crap software, or bloat, or spyware. It came with a chinese rom, changed to english, and is not rooted - however it is unlocked so i can use it with any sim card, and it currently works "properly" (minus the bloat/spyware).
I have checked everywhere in XDA, and like 50 pages of google under every search term i can think of. currently, there is no available rom/solutions for this phone.
Lenovo support is useless, and only has china phone support. i cant get a download link for an FTP from lenovo to get the factory rom to mod myself.
I need help with these things:
1) i need to root the phone so i can mess with it
2) i need an international/english version of some kind of rom that will work with the phone - OR
3) i need a source for a universal android rom, of which i can load drivers for the chipsets(download link to master driver site/android site?)
info of what the phone currently shows:
Model: Lenovo Vibe Shot Z90-3
Android Version: 5.0.2
Build Number: VIBEUI_V2.5_1522_5.130.1_ST_Z90-3
Email me with any information you can come up with, thank you!!!

Samsung Galaxy tab 3 lite [SM-T110] general thread

i wish there is any cm build for this tab. why sammy didn't include this tab for an upgrade? LoL
T110 bricking after applying e.g. T210 ROM - Why ?
Hello guys
First of all: I am an absolute beginner regarding ROMs etc. and i hope that my question is rightplaced here.
What i would like to understand is the technically background why a device bricks ? When i compare the specs of T110 vs. T210 i can see little or no difference with regards to CPU etc. ( see: https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/comp...msung_SM-T210/BHitems/1023209-REG_1016095-REG )
And second: What about the efforts to bring CM 1x or Lineage xy to this device ? Is there work going on and one has to wait a few month, or isn't there any progress and it would be better to drop this tablet ?
By the way - i havent tried it up to now, because i am in the phase to understand all the tools and procedures, fallback strategies etc. etc.
