Hi
I am wondering if i have a phone that is so new that there is no mention if it here. I was trying to find out how to root it and was given a program that works with all kinds of phones, it worked but I still don't know of it is different than the s4 sgh-i337. the reason I wanted to root the phone is that I want to create a hot spot which I can't do. I guess if you just tell me how to make this phone into a hot spot that would work but I really want to know what forums I need to use to do things with this phone. It is a new phone for smart talk (AT&T).
Thanks
Hi,
I've seen that you've posted in the S4 forums already. And that would be a good place. Yes, you have an obscure model and no... It's not the same as a the others.... And flashing anything not specifically made your model could destroy your device.
But for asking questions... You already "found your way".... . ?
Good luck. ?

Hey everyone ^^. Im new to XDA and sort of new to the Android modding scene too. Im curious if i can install any Rom on my Galaxy S5. I know they have to be specifically designed for that phone, but are there certain Roms that are tied to a certain phone carrier/variant? Specially designed? I guess my question would be could i take a Rom made for the Galaxy S5 Dev Edition from Verizon and use that Rom on a galaxy S5 regular verizon variant? Sorry for being such a Newb :/
generally speaking the rom has to say its for your exact model/variant/carrier/etc or you will likely have issues and even possibly brick.
as far as specifically a dev rom to your phone, im not positive, but following the rule above, the answer is most likely no you cant.
ok so i see these cheap generic samsung galxy phones they ;look like notes or megas. so the question is can we root them and put custom roms on them and basically turn them into a nice phone? they seem like decnt phones and i myself like to have a phone and not have to spend a arm and a leg and since i can fix phones and am new to rooting and custom roms etc i figure they would be a nice phone to maybe use. i am a sprint customer so what would i tell sprint my phone was? to activate it etc. please if anyone has done anything with one of these phones let me know your experience thank you
I currently use a Samsung Galaxy SIII on verizon. I did the whole rooting and bootloader thing (whatever you call it). Im in the market for a new phone and was wanting some insight on what new phones are out there that i can do the same thing. I love the ability to load custom roms and do away with all the bloatware that come with every phone. Can some one help out with letting me know what phone still has the capability to root like i did my SG3. I keep reading that the new galaxy phones are impossible to root anymore. I was leaning towards the note 4 but it looks like theres not root for it. Im looking for a phone that I know can be rooted (along with the bootloader) and where i can use custom roms. Any help is appreciated. Thanks.
Hi,
you won't get your question answered on XDA. I suggest you search for the best phone you should pick yourself. For the ability to root the phone you desire, I recommend you to have a look if there is a device forum on XDA and that the phone is rootable.
Good luck!

I am looking to upgrade the ROM on my phone since some of my apps are no longer being supported. I dont want to purchase a new phone since I really like the phone and the new phones all seem to be mini-computers. I like my small phone!
Is there anyone out there that can point me to a ROM that would work for the Stellar and get me to at least 4.5?
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks!

Hi,
Your device doesn't have a dedicated forum here and as it's fairly uncommon and several years old there doesn't seem to be much dev support for it. The only relevant thread I could find is this one but it isn't too helpful. That's all I have I'm afraid, unless you want to ask in the general Q&A and hope for the best.
ok so this is my first time on here and i decided to make a thread because I simply cant find anything on this. (could also be that I'm slow and just didn't see it in front of my face) Anyways in the past week I have gotten ahold of over 10 phones. main purpose? unlock bootloader, root device, and play Pokémon go official app on the device, of course their are other things i want it for but this is my main reason. but every device I've gotten my hands on have been a complete fail and its driving me insane!! so I'm just looking at my options what can I do? I really want to get a Samsung galaxy tab s6 lite but honestly I don't wanna waste my money and not be able to root. I really need something that that is gonna work either a high end tab or a high-end phone that can be rooted. would be even better if I could just by a pre rooted phone or tab somewhere. please just, any help would be appreciated.

First, can you use a larger font size I can barely read your post.
Second, Please update the thread Title to something like "Please help me pick a new device that can be rooted"
Third: There is a forum for Tab S6 Lite, try looking there.

Fourth, there is a couple of threads that you should see.
