I have the note 8 I cracked the back but think I can fix it so if something goes wrong while in warranty I can get it fixed but I sooo want to root without getting caught n voiding warranty
Can this be done ? I know very little about rooting I have yet to find the right guide that can educate me if one (either rooting process to fit my needs and or a root guide for dummys) exists please help
You really need to read before posting. This ground is covered heavily in the main Note 8 forums.
And not to be a Johnson, but for the love of [insert deity of choice] please use punctuation. That post gave me a headache.

Hello, I am in need of a little help. I am a complete noob to android and have no idea really how the system works. I have a Samsung Galaxy S and have decided to root my phone for 2 reasons.. ap2sd and so I can install the lag fix. I have done a bit of reading and chosen the path I wish to take but would like some assurance and pointers. I am also unsure of: If I root my phone does this automatically mean that with a properly partitioned sd card that I can store apps 2 sd or do I still need to flash the handset with a new ROM and if so there I am stuck... I do not know where to begin with searching for the best ROM for me. Also I would like to know if after i've done this will the handset still be able to receive the official updates or will I just need to keep updating it myself!
Here is the rundown as far as i have got so far...
Samsung Galaxy S I9000/XXJF3 Updated!
All the programs for XP i need are downloaded (eg.net3.5/4, samsung drivers)
The root method I thought was best for me was that of TGA_Gunman
The lag fix I had chosen is by Chainfire
I have still to back up the original ROM with ClockWorkMod (Is this easy to do and if I need to use it will it bring me completely back to my original settings for warranty purposes, or is there other things I would need to do?)
Also could someone provide me with a link to the best noob proof SD partitioning method!!
Is there anything I'm missing here, or anything that could be done a better way!! Any and all pointers will be much appreciated....
P.s. I would be wanting to update to the official froyo update when it's available will this cause me problems and if so what must I do!
Thanks in advance

I don't know much about the galaxy s, but you might be better off asking this in the Galaxy S forum.

Hi all I know there is a lot of guides on here for rooting Xooms, but after trying to root my Australian Xoom and bricking it I would really appreciate if someone can write a guide detailing all the steps from what software is need to how to root and install HC3.1
Like I said I know there is a lot of guides on here but I cant risk doing the wrong rooting process again, as the shop wont fall for a faulty app install twice !
Many thanks to all the devs on here making our Xooms so much better!!
What about this one

Hi yes I have seen this one but the guides it links too are not really newbie friendly, they assume I already know what they are talking about

I had no idea what adb was until a week ago, i just went through it all step by step. Its not that hard to learn, as long as you follow it exactly as written you can't go too wrong. If you have any problems there's heaps of people here who can help you anyway.
There is a few guides in the Q & A section, which is where this should have been posted also.

Not development. Moved to Q&A.
So we have all seen numerous brick threads all over in the captivate sections right? Some people don't even know the difference between soft and hard brick. Plus their only so many possibilities of how to unbrick a brick. This is a problem right?
So a solution that i have come up with is sort of a self help guide (an attached pdf for now). It is not complete yet, but it gives you a general feel of how it should work.
If you have any opinions of what you think should be added, changed, remove or this is just a waste of time please post them. As I hope this guide will become a tool to help other and i want to make as good as I can. Plus it could help reduce the number of brick threads posted.
Thank you for reading.
p.s. If anyone have some info on the one-click odin for froyo please post or pm meView attachment 688683

I may sound like a total noob asking this question. I know what rooting is (benefits, consequences)
I want to find out if any roms are avalible (preferably cyanogenmod) and how to install them
Also, I would like to know if overclocking is possible
My last questions are if this will void my warranty and if it is reversible, if the success rate is favorable and what to do if my phone does get bricked
If you can, I would love an informational video or some sort of step-by-step guide

hey so ive never rooted an android device and the shield tablet root thread is kinda dead and i didnt understand it. so can anyone give me a really thorough explanation on how to root my tablet, also ive already installed lollipop.
Hi,
I am assuming you men shield tablet, not 2.0 version?
It would be best to ask for help in the thread you are trying to follow.
Is this it?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/shi...t-root-nvidia-shield-tablet-lollipop-t2972316
I will say this.... It should be as simple as following the instructions one step at a time... Exactly as they are written. If you don't understand it, you likely should read up on this some more. Before you do anything. Asking people will just lead to them quoting the same instructions to you.
Doing this stuff to our devices is dangerous if we are lost. If you value your device and don't want to ruin it, I'd read as much as you can from your device section and learn about the things you don't understand.
Just my 2 cents. ?
Good luck!
