I recently made the switch from apple to Android! I love my new Galaxy s7. I have found many great tutorials on how to root and I completely understand the risks of going through with it. Could you please post a link to the most recent, and highest rated, thread on how to root for a beginners level of expertise? Also, does baseband version matter with root? If it matters my Android version is 6.0.1 and my baseband is G930VVRU2APG5 and Kernel is 3.18.20. Please remember this is my first time on your site and I look forward to the help with my new Galaxy s7. Thank you so much!

Hi,
My name is Dustin and I'm new to the forum. I've read the requirements and what the community would like (please do not post something that may have been already be posted, so take the time to find it if possible).
I would like to say that this community is very clean, as the threads and placement of items are very nice and clean.
Alright, so straight to the point
I am using the SuperOneClick.
I'm using a Samsung Captivate from Rogers, trying to Root and all.
After I get to STEP #7 it just lose responding.
Any ideas ??
Thanks in advance..
Hello Guys, First time poster here. I have been scouring the internet for the past few days looking for some solutions, and found that XDA was the best place for android users to congregate and give help and opinions.:highfive:
First off, let me start off by saying that I am a complete android noob when it comes to messing around with rooting and flashing. So pardon if some of the things I say come across as foolish.
My girlfriend bought me what she thought was an original iphone 5s on her recent trip to China where she was teaching English. Little did she know that she got fooled into buying what I now found out is a Goophone i5s MF353zp/a. :crying:Since I want to keep the phone since she did get it for me as a nice gesture, I am trying to get it to run a regular android 4.2.2 jelly bean or better, without all the iphone icons and iphone crap. Also the phone did not come with playstore so I cannot download apps that I would use on a regular basis. Also most of the stuff is in Chinese and I just want to be able to use it as a regular android phone. I read up on roms, and rooting and flashing, but if someone could tell me the best way to go about getting a regular android version on the phone along with google play store, It would be much appreciated.
Thanks for reading my long post. Be Safe. Cheers :good:

Thanks for your reply. Are you sure about this? Because it is currently running 4.2.2 with an ios skin from what I could read on the internet.
Hi, thank you for using XDA Assist. There is not much information about your device on XDA but I did find these which may help:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2449981
http://www.xda-developers.com/goophone-i5-unboxed-the-xda-way-xda-developer-tv/
I'm not that familiar with the Goophone but I believe you'll want to know the what I believe is the processor number, it starts with MTK followed by 4 numbers. Before you do anything see if you can find that and then ask in the threads linked. If all else fails ask in this forum, http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/help
Good luck!

Thanks buddy. I'll check out the links you gave. :good: I might have come across the links before, but I was too scared to try something since I did not want to brick the phone. As for the processor number, I came across MT6572, if that's the one. I can't find anything with MTK. Appreciate your help in this. :fingers-crossed:
Yes, it was my mistake on the MTK. It's MT. I'll close this thread then.
I have been searching, reading, and attempting everything I could find to fix this tablet for night and days. Some root/busybox detectors/verifiers gave me different results. Before this I knew nothing about this world so i'm a real greenhorn here. All I know so far is my device is rooted because of build no. V2.0.1.JRO03C.user.root.20131219. Afterwards some apps tell me I'm rooted and some told me no. I'm afraid something went terribly wrong with the files. I can't unroot,flash a new recovery, install adb, pretty much nothing works. All the apps I've tried told me an unknown bootloader. I just want to either return the tablet to original factory default or take control of the thing. This is the info I gathered from settings>about :
Model NX007HD8G
Android V. 4.1.1
Kernel 3.0.8
Serial no. YF031412173
And the build number above
At the moment I don't know what other info you guys might need so forgive me if I'm not thorough. Please, help me take control of my device.
Hi,
Thanks for using XDA assist.
Although there are some guides that could help you solve your problem, none of them seem to have working links for you to download and use.
Because of this, I would recommend posting in the Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting forum. Please note that in order to post, you will need to create a XDA account.
Good Luck! - gsstudios

Hello,
Can you tell us make and model of your device? What firmware are you currently running?
-Vatsal
Hello, Thanks for response. I have a Samsung sch i405 Stratisphere phone. The firmware is 2.3.6, I am a old retired and disabled veteran who can identify a smartphone 2/10 times. I can follow instructions if they are simple. I have no idea what these acronyms and abbreviations you technology folks use mean.
Thanks again for your time, Doug

The (Developers only) in the title of these threads is a bit of a giveaway don't you think?
Not to mention there is one just above it called "Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting"
Regardless,
It took me approximately 4 seconds to find this
https://forum.xda-developers.com/samsung-a-series
I believe you should start looking there as I have already seen threads regarding your model. I suggest deleting this thread now you know where to actually post.
And remember, at least one basic google search is always a good idea before posting anything.
