Wondering if someone wanted to help me out by posting an easy way to root the phone, and maybe get off this terrible 2.2 OS, best rom around? I like AOSP if thats available. maybe cm9/10?

i am on gummy http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1745472 , i like aokp, or go with cm9. any of these you can't go wrong with.
this might help you, i have never done it http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=980157 :fingers-crossed:
First I'd like to say I don't think this is the right place for my question but I cant post where I think it should go so hopefully somebody here can help me.
I want to put custom rom onto my nokia lumia 710 but dont know which would be the best on to use I've seen three so far in my looking around the site the RainbowMod, metro^7 rom, Lumiatrix 4.2 ROM. I like the look of the RainbowMod from the video on youtube that I'm not aloud to link, but I want to know from somebody that has experience with custom roms to give me some advice on which one to go for. I haven't unlocked my phone yet plan on doing this to night or tomorrow when ever I get some time to sit and do it without been called away in the middle of doing it.
Also from the look of the video I linked it looks like you can install apps from different marketplaces is this right and if it is can this be done with all custom roms???
Any other advice you can give me or links to the best tuts on each step so I don't follow a sub par tut by not knowing the best place to look for one.
Thanks in advance

Can nobody here give me any advice I was told this was the best site for this type of thing:laugh: I'm guessing not
So basically even the old HD2 has WM7 Roms and I tried all of them.
You are right with a custom ROM you can download everywhere else too, some Roms are unlocked already and your windows nokia 710 will be just great.
First of all a backup off your stuff will be good because you will lose everything on your phone then.
And I think you will need the activation key for your phone again after that.

I don't know the first thing about rooting/flashing Android, nor anything about the capabilities of my Tab 2 10.1 on AT&T.
I just know that I want a newer version of Android, as I believe AT&T is the only carrier that has not moved to AT LEAST 4.1.2 yet.
I use a Mac.
What should I do with this thing? I have an S4 and got it for dirt cheap the same day. I want to make sure whatever I install doesn't mess with my LTE connection.
Thanks for anybody who has the time to shoot the breeze with me about this device.
I'm very sorry, but as far as I know, there's really not much you can do with the AT&T version of this tab. I don't remember seeing any working custom roms, and until AT&T gets an upgrade, you are stuck with what you have...

You can root it, there is a debloated stock rom now. Maybe someday some dev will pick up a i497 and start creating roms. But having the one is a start. I use mine for whatever a I need when I am on the move. I don't have it connected to the carrier, but use wifi when I can. I also tether it to my phone to get internet on it. To me, it is more handy than carrying the lap top around. So when I go traveling, I bring it.
I am looking for a root for my BLU Studio 6.0 LTE model Y650Q preferably through Framaroot. I've already tried and does not work. Also, I'd be willing to donate towards a custom Lollipop ROM for my phone as well. Please let me know if this is possible. I had a BLU Studio 5.5 before this phone and Framaroot worked for it so I'm hoping it'll work or this phone soon. Willing to donate.
This is what I've found
Look at this page for Lollipop Rom. http://www.lollipop-roms.org/2014/12/blu-studio-6-0-lte-6900.html
I was looking for a one click root method as well. I think there aren't many options because the phone is still new. I'm looking to buy this phone. How do you like yours?
Honestly, I love it. I had the Note 3, and came on hard times so had to sell it. I got this phone a week ago and its seriously up to par compared to the Note 3. My husband has the Note 4 and I honestly like my phone better. I've been a Samsung fan since the Vibrant and feel bad for straying but BLU made a really kick ass phone! My ONLY complaint is that the touch sensitivity is a little high and find myself having to hit the back button but once I'm able to root, I know I can fix that. The camera is BETTER than my husbands Note 4. I honestly can't say enough about it. I really do love it.
Hi again,
Is there wireless tethering capability with this phone? And is the internal storage a true 16 gigs? I know it will only be 11 out of the box, but what I'm asking is, is the storage all one disk drive? I've seen these types of phones with partitioned drives, which I hate. One more question. Were you able to get it rooted and romed? Did the download link include a custom recovery? I would really love to get Cyanogenmod on this.
Yes, wireless tethering is a feature. I have used it plenty of times to connect my tablet with no problems. I actually have 14 GB of storage out of the box. I still have 13gb after all my app downloads. Most of my apps are on my 32gb SD Card.
Like I said, the link provided above isn't legit. Its basically a scam so no. I haven't been able to root it yet. I've tried Framaroot, but no one has found the exploit for this particular phone yet. I used to have the BLU Studio 5.5 and Framaroot worked for it, so hopefully its just a matter of time before someone figures out this phone.
I used an app called Towelroot on my Nexus 7 tablet. I believe it's supposed to work with most Android devices. I'm digging around trying to see what I can find out. It works just like Framaroot in that you don't need to use a computer to root your phone.
Just tried towelroot... No luck. Says my phone is not supported..
Crap! I was hoping it works. I need to make a decision fast because my current phone is really acting up badly. I like the specs, just want to be able to root and get Cyanogenmod. Only because I really love the new CM themes. I'll keep digging to see what I can find out.
is this real
Hey guys in found this... Not sure if it's scam or for real... 3 comments so far say its good... But this can be fake... I also want to at least root or better yet get lollipop ... So - http://www.how-to-root.club/2015/01/blu-studio-6-0-lte-6900.html

I'm sure it'll be rooted soon. The Studio 5.5 was rooted, so it's just a matter of time. This phone has only been out a month so I'm sure its in the works. If I were you, I'd still get it. But that's just because I love this phone.

I've already figured out its a scam. You can only "download" it by doing endless amounts of surveys and signing up for this and that and you never get the download link. Trust me, I've tried. And the XDA link he provides, isn't legit.
ImSoBLU, check this out
You said you tried towelroot. Here is a workaround for the phone not supported issue:http://www.naldotech.com/how-to-fix-towelroot-phone-isnt-supported-problem/
I stumbled across a site that supposedly had a Framaroot download, but they wanted you to jump through too many hoops for the apk. I'm not going for that. Either post the link or don't.

I checked that link you sent and it says to enter in some codes. There is NO where to enter any sort of codes so TowelRoot is still a no-go.
You're supposed to tap on Welcome to Towelroot three times. All my Android devices are rooted, so I have nothing to test this on. But I like what I've seen so far with this phone. I have a thL phone that I used Framaroot on. I hope they will find an exploit for the Blu. I just need a new phone because my current one has limited internal storage, the camera stopped working, and either battery is shot, or charging port is going bad. Have you ever installed custom recovery and custom Rom before? On your other Blu?
Yeah, I'm an intermediate knowledge of rooting and downloading and installing ROMs. It helps that my husband is a computer programmer and has been for 17 years so he knows quite a bit about this stuff and so its rubbed off on me. I did tap the welcome message 3 times. Then 10, then about 40 times. And nothing. My husband could root it via the computer but can't find the adb drivers for this phone. Or something like that. He tried and looked for everything and told me to post here and see if anyone's figured it out. If he hasn't been able to do it then it hasn't been done yet.
But it'll be done soon. I was able to root my BLU Studio 5.5 with Framaroot and did install a few ROMs on it but ended up sticking with stock ROM because I preferred it. So I know its just a matter of time before someone figures out the exploits to root this phone. Just hoping it happens sooner rather than later.

Thanks, I think it might be what he already tried, but I sent the link to my husband and he's going to try when he gets home tonight and see if its different from what we already tried.

BTW, could ya send some "Thanks" my way for info I sent you about the phone specs? Noob member here and trying to climb up the status ladder
No problem, just did.
Haha, thanks! When my hubby gets home, we're going to try with the drivers you sent me to root the phone. If we get it I'll be sure to let you know and post the steps we took to get it done. Thanks again! And let me know if you find anything else out too. But I still recommend you getting the phone! The root and ROMs will be coming soon!
I've read through a lot of threads....some are vague, some don't post specific ROMs they are on, etc., and I'm unsure as to the answer to this.
Nexus 5 owner here, former TMO SGS3 owner (given away), now I've come into possession of a Verizon SCH-i535 SGS3 that I'm running on T-Mobile. Phone is going to my elderly father, and I want to root it so I can uninstall all the Verizon crap and other things that are just going to confuse my dad.
Tried Odin and CFAutoRoot, connects, appears to start, but fails every time. Haven't tried TowelRoot, some say it works, some say it doesn't, and I'm really confused. Lots of threads say this ROM can't be rooted, but not all.
So, short and sweet, can anybody tell me with certainty whether this ROM can be rooted? If so, by which method? Am I stuck with the stock ROM? Any way to hide apps on the app screen?
I hate Verizon. HATE them.
Love xda. LOVE them.

From what I've read towelroot should work, although if it doesn't then I don't think anything else will. Try it out and report back
