[Completed] Few Questions from a Newbie on Android System - XDA Assist

Hi, I recently bought a Sony Xperia Z2, at this time I'm very happy with my purchase, it's my first time with Android System, but I have a few questions
1. Which are the benefits of rooting?
2. If I do the rooting incorrectly I can restart to factory settings my tablet?. I mean I always had Apple's iOS, and if you do incorrectly the jailbreak you prees 10 seconds home button, then 15 home button and sleep button and the device automatically enters a mode that you just plug it to your computer and reset from iTunes, here with Android is the same?
3. If the thing above is possible, could you please explain me?, please
4. And at last also explain me how to root my device
Thank you, sorry for all my questions but I'm new in all these Android World

i fail to see what this thread has to do with the HD2...
and the spoon feeding in this thread is leading to even more clutter:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2162501
in the hopes that maybe i am missing the point of these two threads being in the HD2 section, i'll hold off reporting this thread and the above one...unless someone else would like to do the honors?
Moving to General
I think the problem is there is not a forum for the ZTE Tania.
OP, if you want to request a forum for your phone, please go here: *** New Device Forum Requests *** .
I have deleted the other thread and I am moving this thread shortly as it has nothing to do with the HD2. It will be in the Questions and Answers general discussion forum.
Thank you,

[Completed] Installing Android 4.4 on Samsung Wave S8500 problem

Hey guys, I'm new here, so I hope I'm posting this in the right section.
I have been following steps posted in this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2609560
I managed to reach point number 8, but when I try to restart my phone, it won't show any "FOTA set of red messages" neither Badadroid logo, just regular Bada 2 gets succesfully loaded. I have no idea what am I doing wrong.
So far I have been trying 2 Roms:
http://www.file-upload.net/download-9315108/cm-11-20140802-wave-poweroff.zip.html
https://yadi.sk/d/C1iIRo1tSVyVF
With both of them I copied related zImage to phone root directory and the whole zip to root directory of SD card.
Then I flashed BOOTFILES and FOTA using Multiloader, both succesfully (using this tutorial http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1732287)
https://yadi.sk/d/Yz7_dfpkC6TkC
https://yadi.sk/d/W4RjnjQRC6TfP
It still doesn't work, when I restart, just regular Bada loads. What should I do? Please help me, I am kind of new with this. Thank you in advance!
EDIT: OK, so I figured out that you have to hold END CALL + VOLUME UP to reach CWM. According to tutorial Badadroid logo should remain on the screen for like 5 minutes, but it's just a matter of second till I reach CWM. I installed Rom succesfully from ZIP, but when I restart the phone, it's Bada again :/

Hi,
You've provided me with all the links you need, so asking your questions in the relevant threads you need help with would be what to do now.

Good luck!

TY for reply, I didn't know that. I would like to ask in the specific thread, but I'm not allowed to since I am one of "New members (those with fewer than 10 posts)". :/
The way it works now... If you post in a development section, an automatic Q&A thread is created in the Q&A section.
So you can post there. ?
Thank you. Thread closed.

[Completed] [Q] Help requested for bricked ? Archos 7 Home v2

Help requested before I am carried away to the funny farm. :crying:
I flashed the wrong rom ( phone instead of tablet ) and completely screwed up. Tablet charges OK but only boots to first splash screen and then powers off. Unfortunately this device does not have a external volume control so unable to do a standard get out of jail sequence. According to info I have found if I put the power switch to lock and press reset button for 30 seconds then plug into pc device should be found and windows will ask for a driver. So far so good, windows 8.1 would not load any android driver that I could find,Microsoft wanted $99 to sort, so had a thought and created a windows 7 live usb stick and hey presto when I plugged into pc tablet found and Android composite adb interface installed. BUT I still can not do anything with it. ADB can not see device (i presume because it is switched off ? )
I do have the manufacturers rom to get back to basics and nothing on tablet that I am bothered about so could any of you kind experts offer any suggestion as to how I can get rom onto device or is it a case of the BIG hammer and joining the ghost riders in the sky.
I have spoken to Archos who are a complete load of ********* ( If I put what I really thought I would be banned for life ) short answer was do not support that device anymore but if you would care to purchase one of our new machines fromthe web we could offer a 10% discount.
I have also tried RKAndroidBatchUpgrade and that seems to find the device but fails the test before flashing.
Many thanks in advance if anyone can assist

Hi,
That's a tough situation. Often flashing a rom from a different device can mean doom. However, I suggest you ask for help here, as I can't find any relevant info on XDA for your device...

Good luck!
