Hi - I am new to this site and it's my first post. I am a newbie in RE: rooting Android devices. I have jailbroken iPhone's in the past but it seems that rooting is a bit more involved. Long story short, I have a lot of mobile electronics that require a rooted Android device now and I am at a loss as far as what to get and how to root. I have a few out of contract phones on the Verizon network but none are Android. I need a newer phone that has the Miracast (or cast screen) capabilities with preferably a removable battery, microSD card slot, and a microUSB connection. I went to the root section and not too many of the "newer" phones were listed. I did see the HTC 10 was listed with videos explaining all the steps and then read further in the thread to see that Verizon has somehow hidden the Bootloader (or something to that effect) and it can't be rooted at this time.
Long story short, does anyone know of a phone from Verizon that supports Miracast (or cast screen) and that can be rooted today? If not, I may have to look for an unlocked phone.
Again, I'm a newbie and unfortunately need a lot of guidance at this point but hopefully someday I will be able to assist others as I do on other forums for other things.
Any help or direction would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance!

Thanks. I could offer a specific device (LG V10 for example) but don't see any info regarding rooting that model (unless it's too new). Ok, I'll ask over in the other forum.
Thanks again.

Hello there! This would be my first post around these parts, although I've owned my Nexus S for around 7 months now and browsed these forums in the past. I'd also like to say that I realize this question might have been asked more than once already, but I've done my due diligence and searched without finding a definitive answer.
Anyway, I've decided that I've gone for too long without being able to flash ROMs, use all those sudo-required tools and whatnot, and I've decided to root my Nexus S so I can get some of the fun I've been missing. Now, don't get me wrong. I'm a software developer and I work with embedded systems for a living, but I just don't want to risk my $500 phone if I can avoid it. What this means is be as technical as you need to be, but I'd rather have the root process be a walk in the park and not an excursion to Mordor.
Anyway, my phone is a Nexus S i9020A(UCKF1, whatever that means), running Android 2.3.6. I've read this and this thread, and while the first looks like what I'm looking for, I recall my brother being able to root his Nexus One in a few clicks and I was wondering if I could do the same for my device. The second thread looks a bit more promising, but all I've found in that thread is mentions of other NS sub-models and not of my own, nor if running 2.3.6 means incurring in any risks.
As you can see, I'd appreciate some help here. Is there a painless, few-clicks method for rooting my specific device? If you have the same device, how did you do it? Do you have any experience with that tool I linked to?
Thanks in advance. If by any chance this has been asked before, do point me in that direction and I'll be equally pleased.
Hello. Thanks for taking the time to look at this post.
I have been reading up on how to root my S6 Edge UK model SM-G925F. I must admit I have read to much on this I am completely lost and just need a pointer to a safe way to do so. I am a newish android user coming from iPhone and being used to jailbreak only.
I am concerned reading the issues with triggering knox and basically anything which is going to invalidate the warranty on my 3 day old S6 Edge.
Could anyone point me in the right direction and I really am sorry due to understanding this ha's been discussed in many threads.
Much appreciated. Mike.

Hello and thank you for using XDA Assist.
The Knox flag is generally not triggered from simply rooting the device but it depends on the rooting method you use. Fortunately, there is a friendly XDA area dedicated to the S6 Edge at http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s6-edge/help. I suggest you search that forum or start a new thread with your specific concerns there where the experts familiar with your device will be able to best guide you.
Good Luck!
Okay so I hope I'm posting in a suitable area (I was debating to post here or in the Questions and Answers section). I don't usually use forums much but I try to be as respectful as I can as not to upset anyone or waste anybody's time. I'll put the important info in bold in case you don't want to read all the details. Getting to the point, I've looked several times on google and youtube but I never get a clear answer to this and I've watched dozens of youtube videos about the basics of rooting and what you should and are supposed to and not supposed to do however I still can't get an answer. I have a Samsung Galaxy Go Prime at least that's what all of my manuals say but after searching about rooting I've come to find that it's either closer related or the same as a more popular Samsung Galaxy Go phone. I've rooted it using the King Root app twice now because every time I turn the phone off it does the "seandroid enforcing" boot loop thing and both times I've restored the stock ROM, as I've heard it called, using Odin and used King Root to root it again. Now maybe I'm just an idiot but I don't think it should be doing that, or am I wrong, or am I doing something wrong?. I used to use an Iphone and I know that jailbreaking could be tethered and untethered, however I'm not sure if it is the same with android and rooting (or for that matter exactly what rooting does) as I have just recently switched. If anyone could find a youtube video explaining all of this too me that would be really helpful as all the ones I have come across while trying to find a solution are either really outdated or sharing knowledge about a particular type of phone. I will admit that I don't know very much about rooting because all sources I've tried to learn from either didn't explain anything or did not explain it well enough. The original intent for rooting my phone was to make use of my SD card, considering that the internal storage is only 8gb and the phone outright refuses to use my 32gb microSD for anything. I manually moved all of my files to my SD using the stock "My files" app on the phone and it didn't clear up much space. After rooting it I tried to use an app called "Link2SD" which unfortunately only moves part of an app to my SD and not the entire app, so if anyone knows a better solution to this problem as well that would be a great help. Thanks for any and all information and assistance, I really appreciate you and your time. :good:

Hello everyone, I'm a newbie here at xda developers, and perhaps a newbie as well in the (more technical) android world. I've had had two android devices that died on me this past four years. This time around, I want to see if I can still bring my latest device back to life, that's why I've been googling everything in relation with the issue of my phone: stuck logo. Now, like in windows, there might be something like freshly installed android os, even it's just a stock one. And there is, but the problem, I haven't tried flashing before, I have done factory reset though this time around, since my phone won't boot, it's not an option. Besides, as far as my research goes, issues like this require full overhaul of the OS, replace it with a new one.
Now, my agony: I'm already confused with lots of information regarding flashing custom ROMS, or, what I need right now, a stock rom for my phone. BTW, this is a local brand from Philippines, Cherry Mobile H340. Now, I don't have my volume keys working since they are grounded. Is there a way wherein I can install a new stock OS for my phone via the usage of PC and USB data cable only? I don't want to spend another 12 dollars for this phone, if this is something I can still fix without having to spend for a technician even if it takes time, I'll gladly do it.
All responses are highly appreciated, but please, don't make fun of a newbie. Like telling something that won't work then I end up bricking my precious device . P.S. I will accept all corrections regarding my statement above, grammar fixes are also appreciated if there are any .
Thanks, XDA.

Hello there!
So... I am usually seen as the more "techie" person among my group of friends & acquaintances (mainly because.. I know how to use Google, LOL), and that's been well and fine up until now. However, I've had a good friend ask me to help root his Samsung S20 Ultra for him, and return it when it is finished. I figured "Fine, why not?", considering I've rooted a few devices in the (distant) past...
As mentioned before, I'm not a *complete* noob when it comes to rooting/modding Android devices, but it has been quite a while since doing so... Since I feel a bit too "rusty" and more than a bit lost when reading up on this topic online--even when studying up on the topic on these very forums, I've realized that I'd probably get the job done faster, and overall be better off in the end, if I just ask the experts (hopefully you guys!) directly instead of trying to rush to figure it all out and attempt this purely on my own--since I'm not 100% confident at this point with what steps I should take first.
So, after seeing many people linking here, and saying that this forum is the place to go for these kinds of inquiries, well... Here I am!
There are screenshots taken from "CPU-Z" with all of the details of the device attached to this post, so anyone who is willing to help can be 100% sure of what I've got, if you need it.
Thanks much!

Typically, Verizon phones are bootloader "locked". Without being able to unlock the bootloader, it is not rootable. However, there should be a dedicated forum for your device. I'd check there.
