Hello fellow forumers! I'd like to make a question regarding rooting. I wanted to know if it was possible to root my Motorola Lead i940. I haven't seen any tutorials on this device anywhere, and I couldn't even find it on the drop-down list on this site.
I'd post a link to the specs/images but seems like I can't until I have 10 posts...
Android OS is v2.1-update 1. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Also, is it advisable to upgrade to v4.0?
I'm a complete newbie in the Android world (iPhone user), so I'm so sorry in advance if I'm asking a stupid question. So today I bought an Alcatel Hero 2 from Amazon. The device hasn't arrived yet. The device has Android Kitkat on it and from some youtube review videos I knew that the customized Android version installed on the device is chubby so I thought if I can upgrade to vanilla Lollipop then the performance will improve.
There is very little information on the web about the Hero 2. I only found a webpage (can't post a link here because I'm new but google for "upgrade alcatel hero 2 lollipop" and you'll find it) that says one can upgrade to Lollipop, but it seems to be SCAM. Thus I thought it's better to ask here to get trusted answers since I don't want to get into security problems.
I know what ROMs are and have a little background but I don't know where to get trusted ROMs or if it's possible at all to upgrade my phone. I appreciate any answers.
Many thanks in advance!
Probably not, unless Alcatel comes out with its own Lollipop update or more threads appear here for Hero 2 ROMs.
The Hero 2 isn't very popular, or at least well-known, in the US. I'm surprised you even found it for purchase. Was it on the US Amazon site or a foreign version? Got a link? I was interested in a Hero 2, too, but I could never find it, and now it's getting a little long in the tooth.
Sorry this isn't the answer you wanted. Is it an all right phone overall, though? Reviews were generally favorable.
I don't think there is Lollipop rom for your device.
Hi guys,
any news about lollipop update? Im choosing between Hero 2 and LG G3, but Hero 2 is cheaper for me and it has little bit bigger screen. Any advices please?

My Hero 8 D820X is bricked (tried to factory reset and sth gone wrong) system crushed, i need to flash anything but can find nothing.
Hero 2 has same CPU, so hopefully it would work

This is weird, I looked all over and cannot find any links for original flashing files, not even 4PDA.
But, the rom I ported has no sound (unless you wear headphones), and camera is not working. This was basically just an experiment on trying to port it for first time, but sadly I do not have the device anymore so I won't be able to help much. If you still want to try it, here's the link: https://forum.xda-developers.com/general/rooting-roms/resurrection-remix-5-8-5-alcatel-t3913051
Meanwhile I'll try to keep looking for the original stock ROM for your device, there has to be something.
I'll let you know if I find anything.
Hello, I have a MZ608 (although I do not use 3G) and it version of android is 4.0.4. It is very, very slow and everyminute it shows me a message about cellular. It is totally wasted since the first day and I've never been able to read a book withou problems like this.
Recently I read in this forum that 4.4.4 is a very stable and light version but I do not found any tutorial on how to do this. Can anyone help me? It is not rooted so I need it from the very beggining.
I'm sorry if there is another thread about this (I could not found any)
I appreciate your help, in advance.
Hey Guys,
I'm trying to get the G3 Tweaksbox up and going and I know I have to have TWRP installed to do so. I was speaking with another member of the forums about this on another thread. He did warn me in his post about installing TWRP on the specific build I'm running. He did mention that I would have to find another kernel due to some boot issues caused by a security error. I have searched high and low trying to find a guide on installing TWRP on 5.0.1 and haven't really had any luck. A few mentions, but no real guide. Would anyone be so kind as to point me in the right direction? I would really appreciate it. I'll post all phone specs below. Thanks in advance guys!!
Phone Specs:
ATT G3 D850
Lollipop 5.0.1
Kernel Ver: 3.4.0
Build #LRX21Y
If there is anything else needed just tell me and I'll provide any info needed. Thanks~
Hello, new member here. Let me start with I apologize if there is a general tutorial explaining everything I am about to ask, I have looked and cant seem to find one. I know and understand how to root and what the basics are that it allows. I have rooted several phones for the sole reason of cleaning preinstalled apps to make more space. The problem is I bricked my last phone and am now using my new LG G Stylo. I have no real idea about what or how recoveries work. Also kernels and roms. I am looking for a general tutorial explaining pretty much everything about rooting. Like how to mAke and use a recovery, what roms are and how to use them, same with kernels. Nothing too in depth, just the basics so that when I do root this phone I can have a recovery ready and set up, and get the full potential of rooting.
Also if anyone knows of a tutorial for the LG G Stylo by metro (LGMS631) that goes over the best setup for this phone for speed,space, an functionality.
Any help would be extremely appreciated.
Thank You, Nikkon

Thank you, I thought about there first but figured that doesnt make sense. My questio.s are mainly general. I was only stating my new phone and asking a quick aquestion abbout that, but the main gist of this post has nothing to do with the LG G Stylo. The main questions and even topic of post is general questions just explaining what it means to root and what kernels, roms, etc. actually are. In general. Thank you for some type of feedback tho. Its appreciated.
