Hi boys,
I have searched thru XDA, tried all the methods, and I still can't get my sm-G925P (sprint) out of the lock because of rooting.
I know how it happened, Im not panicked or in need of an answer right now etc.
I really like this whole site and have rooted all 4 of my tablets and and both my phones by carefully reading, looking around here and patiently thread digging when I got into trouble.. And when I go pick up a new galaxy edge 7 , sometime in the next day or two, I will root it too, lol.
Anyway, my question is, do you think the creators of these frp locks have secret solution to remove? You know, like a button combination or something? Seems possible, and I don't have a date tonight, so I thought I would ask.

Hello,
I apologize if this is a redundant post but I am becoming increasingly confused as I try and figure out what I'm doing.
I just recently switched from a two year old blackberry to the Inspire 4G. I love the phone and recently had surgery so I am stuck in a chair for a while which is forcing me to find fun things to do with my phone.
I have done some research on rooting the phone but there is just so much information out there and none of it seems to be all that consistant to me. I like the way the phone runs out of the box so I hate to go flashing the ROM and messing with what isn't broken. I would just like someone to clarify what all of this is about so here are my questions...
What is rooting and what are the advantages of it(besides removing bloatware)? What cool things have you done with rooting?
Is there any way to root the phone in order to remove the bloatware and then unroot it easily so my warrenty does not become void?
In other words, I would like to temporaraly root my phone in order to remove the bloatware. Then once this is done I would like it to go back to the way it was before the root with the exception of the bloatware being there.
Is what I want to do possible? Is it easy, and what would be the easiest way to accomplish this? If its not possible what should I do and how should I do it?
I hope this isn't too much, and if I am asking in the wrong place please direct me to the correct place to ask this sort of question. Thanks for all your help in advance!

Without rooting - what you bought is what you got.

I was in your spot a couple weeks ago, but I had come from a jailbroken iphone. All I can say is, there aren't *many* great walkthroughs, so it took me a good day or two of just looking around XDA to finally feel comfortable. If you don't feel comfortable, don't do it, but it takes a little research the first time.
That said, I'm very happy I rooted my phone, and this site has pretty much been my only resource.

Can you please elaborate what this means
So now that this device is official (Vitality), any chance to get some "root love"?
Well since metropcs and this phone is the same, most likely the root metro has will root it.

Rooting Huh?
Well after spending a second day trying to solve my problem I had superuser on my phone well someone elses phone, but something went wrong so I am throwing in the towel before I have to by someone a phone because this is how I got myself into this I tried to help someone get more business turns out the guy is a loser so I am stuck with having to give someone some free technical features, but rooting wont be one of them, I am going to figure some other ways to spice the phone of for them I just really don't have the time nor the patience with all the reading and materials and the drivers that won't run on my system some of this is a headache for people who are not that good with this sort of machinery.
And I have found that there are so many who say there good but when it comes down to it, I have had two bad experiences this is why I was trying to show some people some new ways to have there phones done, but I realize a few things I am not helping people out no more fu*k'em I got my phone done and complete and I am tired of helping others out and just about everyone who I went to meet up with in Philadelphia and this other guy who answers and gets back to you when he's ready this phone thing is a little much, like you guys say if you don't have the experience then leave it alone.
Because I have to return this phone to someone tomorrow but I thought I was bringing in some business for people but I know now some people just want to stay living at home with mother. So good luck watching Jerry all your life. Anyone
who has someone who can refer me to a real flasher or tech person no more people in the state of Pennsylvania all of them have been crooks. Sorry S. Bonner but you are hitting the #2 on the list. But anyway I need to get in touch with someone who will get paid as long as the job is done 100% and I am talking remote flashing nothing more and rooting. Remember if you live in the State of Pennsylvania don't bother me I want people who want to work.
Hi Urm ill start with mentioning that i am verryyyyyyy new and inexperienced with all this rooting and what not. Im a very snobby 16 year old who likes to **** with things i dont undetstand.(dont we all though lmao)
So ill start wid a full explanation on what happened and then you can tell me what ive done cause i have legit no clue. Oh and please dont mind if i posted on the wrong thread i am extemely new to the forums sort of gig (this is actually my first account lol) i heard from a friend about this site and well here i am.
So herer goes'
A few months ago i searched for the easiest method to root my phone as i read thay rootimg lets you customize your phone as much as ya want. I downloaded kingo root which does it for you.
Ive a samsung galaxy s2 plus right.
After i rooted the customizations bit hard for me but i managed t download lucky patcher, and through it i downloaded the modded play store(no idea what it did back then) i did alot of inapp exploiting for most paid apps. anyways
a few days ago i came across xposed ajd downloaded random modules like snapreps etc (i tool a giant leap of faith when i read about the soft mod bit). Anyways then when thats done i downloaded a few games(tday actually). i downloaded miniclips' 8ball ppol and i decided t sign in using Google +, it got an error saying it needs t update g+ i mistakenly pressed it. AND BANG MY PHONE SHUT DOWN, and it started booting t the samsung logo and then back, was this the way infamous softbrick,brick or a bootloop. Now im scared t even download an app from playstore, or even use google+ since in afraid itll do thay again.
-It came back t normal in a few minutes( i had t do the softreset(with the buttons, although pressing the keys didnt open anything, just thw samaung logo…and then i tool out the battery and restarted it a few times yet it stillt work. later it tried it onemore time and it turned on. qhat should i do? what actually happened? i have no idea and im scared t death cause i csnt change this phone for a few months and i need this for my gces( use it for eBooks sometimes) plwase help.
Again i donot jnow if this is the right threat im very new to this.
Thankyou in advance
Hi there,
Best answers you will receive in the dedicated forum for this device, see bellow because I don't find any relevant discussion:

Samsung Galaxy S2 Help and Troubleshooting
Good luck
First off, I got to say I love yu XDA guys...I've never had any issue rooting something with a tutorial from here.
Problem is, I've read so many links on this phone, now I'm confused....and can't seem to get back to what I read. I just left Verizon in favor of Metro and got this phone for FREE during a promotional period about two weeks ago....so I really don't want to do anything stupid and brick it.
It's the 700T1 variant and the build is MMB29K.J700T1UVU2APK6 if that will help. If someone would just point this total noob to the right tutorial for this I'd appreciate it. It doessn't have a gyrosope sensor and I've read there are ways to trick it in to thinking it does, but of course you have to have root - and my kid and I want to play Pokemon Go so that we can actually see the little guys on our street, in our park, etc. Thanks!
Also, does anybody know if the "quick roots" work (Kingo Root, etc). What have / did you have success with?
Hi,
Here's a new one for you ........ I got Samsung Galaxy 7 phone from work. SM-G930W8
But surprise of surprise's it's got the Google FRP on it ....
I've been looking at the unlock guys in town and no real joy there and also looked at the 4UKey sites and
I'm not getting a warm fuzzy from them either ...... Is there a fairly stright forward way to nuke the little
sod on the phone?
I don't really want to put any money in to it to pay to get it working but it might be fun to learn how to.
Are there any guides on this site?
Cheers'
