[Q] Samsung Galaxy S III SCL21

Hello,
I started a new thread to try and gain some more experienced attention. the other two threads within this massive forum don't have any real support in the way of actual, knowledgable developers.
There are apparently a lot of people that have the AU/KDDI version of the Galaxy S III. (SCL21). There is apparently not, however a lot of support for it. If anybody has any resources or advice for rooting/moding I'm sure we'd all be very grateful.
Thanks in advance,
And happy droiding!

Bump! I know a lot of people that has this phone but there really no support on it.
I'm willing to give you something to buy your beer for your hard work.

Have you by any chance tried Bin4ry's Root Restore method? I used this to root my father's Kindle Fire HD several weeks ago, over a remote internet connection no less, and it works a charm. I can't post links yet but do a search for "Root MANY ANDROID" and you'll find it. If you do try it, you'll probably want to run it as an Administrator, I think that's how I had to do it. There have been several posts from others in that thread that have rooted their S3 variant with this. Good luck!

Hi guys,
I just got the AU SCL21 about two weeks ago. I agree, I think it's really strange that even on the Japanese forums, there is very little info on rooting this model. From everything I've found, the Japanese sites also both say it's OKAY to root using the Docomo SC-06D recovery and Superuser zip and that it's NOT safe to use that same method. Really odd, conflicting messages...
I just tried using Bin4ry's Root Restore*version 30 with the latest Samsung ADB drivers and after the ADB restore and phone reboot (while still connected to my PC), the command prompt in Windows says that Superuser failed to be installed. :/

[Q] How do I root ZTE T760

Hi,
I just bought a ZTE T760 just recently and was wondering if there was anything I can do to make any modifications with it? I was hoping to at least be able to root it, but unfortunately I haven't been able to find too much except the following:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1319257
Which seems promising but I can't find a clock work mod for my device, and I'm a little worried in just testing that out since it seems more particular to ZTE blades. Do you think it will be okay to test out?
And I was wondering if there is any good roms out there as well? I tried googling but it came up with one that didn't really seem to stable?
Its also locked onto boost mobile, so I would like to unlock it too but, thats not super important, and from googling in that, it seems paying for an unlock is the best way to go (plus I'm not too sure about the legality of unlocking myself?)

Hi guys, just an update, I got Kingo Android ROOT online and it did everything for me!! It downloaded the driver, ran scripts and rooted, and actually looks kinda nice. Try at your own risk, but worked for me

Excellent news.
Did you end up finding a suitable ROM? I have received a T760 that I have been asked to root and put a custom ROM onto, yet to root it but I will do this tonight... but that leaves me with finding a ROM for it.

Hi, definitely good news, the biggest problem I have though, is I haven't been able to get Rom Manager installed in the boot thing, which meant I haven't been able to try any roms of which I haven't been able to find unfortunately.
You might have better luck at it though.
so Good luck

Will let you know how I go

Zte grand x max
Kinda new to all this but I cant find a way to root my zte z787. Couldn't find anything on CWM RECOVERY OR TWRP. Can I use one from a similar device with same specs? Any help is greatly appreciated.

[DISCUSSION] So now you're rooted. What's next?

So, many of us have used the released Engineering Bootloader and have gained glorious root. But what does that really mean for users now? Some of us are stoked about being able to finally block ads with AdAway. Others are looking forward to using Xposed again.
What does root mean for you? What cool apps or toolkits do you utilize with root? I want this to be a useful thread for people new to rooting in Marshmallow or just rooting in general. Post your setup and apps and explain a little bit about why you use them.

[Completed] I need a basic rundown of rooting benefits.

I recently bought a Moto X Pure from an XDA Member which should be here at the beginning of next week.
I used to own a GS5 which as you know is pretty locked down. Locked bootloader, hard to root, if you updated you're screwed, ect. So! I've been out of the rooting game for a while now and only really dipped my toes in to begin with.
My question is, can anyone explain the basics and benefits of a rooted device? Specifically, Xposed Framework/Modules, Root detection with Android Pay, and maybe some things that i've gotta try out with a fully unlocked android device. I plan to install an AOSP ROM but im gonna try out stock Moto X first and see how i like it.
Another short question I have regarding Android Pay, i've heard that some root techniques make Android Pay not work, some are fine, some custom ROMs wont work, AOSP roms will, can somebody clarify all this for me?
Thanks guys, you're always helpful. Glad to be back.

Back to Android: first steps with Honor 6X. Read it!

Good evening everyone sirs of this fine forum!
So, after a couple of year with iXXXXe (wasn't my choice), I'm now back to Android.
I just bought an Honor 6x, after months of reading online.
I haven't really started to use it yet, that's because I'm a little paranoid.
As you can see in my signature below, I used to have a MOTO G really boosted up, almost reaching perfection.
I like to be in control of everything in my phone before starting to use it.
Here come my questions:
- i installed BETA app by Honor, but at the moment I can't try Nougat, you know why?
- is it useful to unlock the bootloader and root this phone? I've read there are not many ROMS at the moment. What do you think? What would I achieve unlocking the bootloader and rooting?
- Xposed framework and Gravity app are still up? Are they working with my device?
- I really like to have a "clean" phone, like stock: no preinstalled apps, no fancy UI, just the basic. What would you suggest me to do?
- In the end, all said: should I use this Honor "out of the box", or is it worth to spend some time messing with it?
I really looking forward your answers, mates!
Sorry, but I've been outside the world for the past 2 years, I feel like I lost some things in the way.
Bye <3

I think at this moment its better to use it out of the box as u can uninstall and deactivate all apps u dont need. With root you will not get much new roms and features but only root useful apps such as ad blocker and such.

I would recommend to use it out if the box too, I had installed the nougat update and rooted it for AdAway but now I am back on the latest official update without root and it works fine although I miss my ad blocker

Thank you for your reply.
So for the moment I'm keeping it stock. I'm still on MM, waiting to upgrade to Nougat as soon as I can.
 @MadMurl0c , why did you go back to official? What about rooting after upgrading to N and using ad blocker with the latest official?

I tried to install Viper4Android but i accidently deleted audio_effects.conf so I decided to go back to stock rom and wait until huawei releases the official Android 7 build. (Another reason was the Bootloader unlocked warning on boot) AdAway worked fine but I don't have anything else about stock to complain about. The only thing that annoys me is that you can't delete system apps without root but you can atleast disable most of them. I hope that answered your Question
