[Q] Phicomm root?

I got this Hong Kong after market chinese android and I wanna get root on it, (just to remove the chinese stuff I won't use with root tools) but I've tried superoneclick and had no luck? Anyone else have one and have rooted it? Please help me. That's the link to the phone.

Try going into settings and find Region and Language settings change it to English.
Don't think Rooting will work to change the language.

Well its in English. But there's random Chinese apps.

Oh, basically the stock apps are in Chinese, have you tried installing a Rom?

Does anyone even have this phone. I tried googling it. Found nothing. So I'm hoping someone has it and knows how to root it.

I successfully rooted my phicomm phone using Motofail. Works without problems at the second try. The first one wasn't succcessfully. Gingerbreak doesn't work because the exploits its using are not available using Android 2.3.7 which is the base of the phicomm ROM.

I'm trying to purchase this phone somewhere online and can't find it anywhere other than the phicomm website. It doesn't have a price listed. Where did you purchase yours? And are you using it on Tmobile 3g, 4g HSPA? Also, were you able to root it to remove the Asian stuff? Thanks.

Motofail == does the job

[Q] Rooting Question

Hey I guys,
I'm a noob at this stuff so I apologize if this is dumb question but do I need to have a recovery before I root or can I root and then install a recovery?

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?

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.

Any ideas?? the update obviously put the hurt on rooting this deice

How did you root the DL701Q tablet with Kingoroot when the Device isn't on the compatible list?

Unfortunatley no, think of the bootloader like the UEFI/BIOS (Not exactly the same but for this explanation) on a PC. The device needs the ASUS specific bootloader to ensure the hardware functions in the OS, A GRUB bootloader would not be able to do this and the device would be "bricked" due to the different standards of the bootloaders and the GRUB bootloader not being device specific. An alternative to your idea would be to install a version of Ubuntu on your device using the thread here as this will use bootloaders and software specific to your device to load up the Ubuntu operating system. I hope I could help you re-purpose your tablet and good luck
