question 4: how do i go about finding out whos using my mobile ap connection when its active (is there a program i can use or is it impossible)
Hi, welcome to the xda.
In response to your Pm..
1- As far as i know there is no easy way of doing it.
2- Start here http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=752
3- as far as i know theming involves replacing system files, so if you remove the root access the theme should work.
4-Well, when you set up your mobile Ap you should make it secure with a password, that way the only people accessing your mobile network will be the only ones with the password.
I’m sorry i can’t be more specific but i myself a nob on android.
i strongly suggest that you read the forums from the link above before doing any changes to your device.

Faria
1: Download the android SDK then use the adb shell to view your androids file system
2: Theme is usually done by getting the specific files, like framework-res.apk, changing colors /images, resigning the package and putting it onto the phone again.
3: Once the theme is installed it won't care about root or not. You just need root to replace the old files
thank you both of you i will try what you suggest and post how it goes (mainly want access as a game running on fpse refuses to load save files and a fix requires the files found in root)
EDIT: ok i decided to go by another post and download root explorer it lets me copy the files to my mem card then i can mess with via pc a slower but safer way IMO
Dear all,
I'm a newbie in the Android world and I'd like to know if it is possible to hack your Android devices using Ubuntu. All the guides I've found refer to using certain softwares (like Odin, SuperOneClick and so on) using Windows,
but as I don't have a Windows computer I'd prefer to manage hacking my phone
using Ubuntu.
In particular I'd like to understand:
0) How to perform a backup of my device ROM so that if anything goes ever
wrong I'm able to flash a working rom on my device;
1) how to root a device (I could manage in finding an update.zip and to root mine.. is this the general procedure or is there a Linux way to do this?)
2) what is needed to upgrade a device?
3) once I have collected all the required files for my device, how can I flash
the rom on it? What softwares like Odin do and how to replicate their behaviour using Linux/Ubuntu.
4) if anything goes wrong how can I restore the working rom (that I've backed up previously at point 0.
Thanks a lot in advance, I've tried searching a lot how to do this for my Galaxy GT-s5670 but I couldn't find anything useful.
So.. After a whole week trying to find a succesful way to root this f***ng phone, no success has been found.
I couldn't find this phone's section on XDA so I'm posting this on the general section...
If anyone could give me the link to the section, it would be very appreciated.
This is the phone:
Samsung Galaxy Trend 3 - SM-G3502C
Android Version: 4.3
Build Number: JLS36C.G3502CZCUAOD1
I have tried a number of on android apps, windows software, and even tried rooting manually by adb and linux. But couldn't have a single successful attemp or any signs of advancement...
Can anyone help me out with this phone, the reason I need root is because this is a chinese phone and doesnt have Play Store installed, and I need root access to install Play Store on /system/apps/ and give R+W permission...
Apps tried:
Saferoot
Kingo App Root
iRoot (vRoot/Root Master)
OneClickRoot
TowelRoot
A bunch of .bat rooting scripts
Baidu in-app Rooter
Rooting through ADB (everything was going fine until I had to access Ubuntu's Nautilus, to move the files to /system/ but the device wouldn't mount by MTP, and I couldn't access the files) link to the guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2684210
Any help would be truly appreciated, and If there is a way to install play store without the need of root access, or even a good replacement for play store would be really good.
Also, I have 0 experience on custom recovery, so, If any developer out there could create a custom recovery for this phone, I could give them the recovery.img from this phone and modify it to work on this phone. If that's the way it works, idk XD.
Hi, thank you for using XDA assist. Unfortunately I can't find anything on XDA regarding rooting your phone. You've probably already tried all these but maybe this will help, http://www.xda-developers.com/root/
Hi Everyone!
I'm in need of some assistance. And thank you ahead of time for any help you can provide. Ok, here's my situation my notebook PC went nuts and now I have to reinstall Windows 10 64bit on it.
I downloaded the ISO file from the Microsoft Developers studio on my G920AUCU6EQCF I juzt got the phone and put the stock rom I found here in the forumns on it (Thank You) but I never got around to rooting it back after I put the rom it. Now I need to use my phone as a bootable USB drive to install windows back on my PC. But I'm yet to find a way to do it without root after 3 days of searching online forumns and web sites. I already installed drivedroid and USB Mountr but both require rootbto use. I have tried many one click root methods.... Kingo.... Kingroot..... Z4....towelroot....pootroot....iroot....baidu....framaroot.... CH-Autoroot..... (TY Chainfire)
Oneclickroot.... wondershare....you get the picture. I have even tried flashgordon to install twrp. I even tried going into my system folders and carefully removing stuff as to try to make a crack in my system one of the rooting apps could exploit. Nothing works... So I can't fix my PC without root and I can't root my phone without PC .. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.. And once again Thanks in advance...
