Hi guys, this is my first post here , I am shopping for an android phone, however I would like the phone to meet 2 requirements: first of all the phone has to have an easy root process (I made the mistake of buying an s8 =( ) and second of all I would like a phone which can support wifi monitor mode, i dont know where to start looking so any help would be appreciated , thank you and have a great day everyone!

I just got an HTC HD 2 today from a friend, and it already has a version of android on it. I dont know how to replace the android files without messing up the phone. Can someone help or walk me through this?
i know this aint help but have u tried the hd2 section
also is your name from coheed and cambria lol!
I have looked through the section and I cant find anything on how to replace the files. Yes it is. The greatest band ever!
sry i dont know anything about the hd2 and yes sir you are correct i just saw them in dallas for the neverender tour 4 hours of nothing but coheed it was amazing my 3rd show i may add new orleans, little rock, and dallas!
you shld be able to ask the same question in that thread im sure someone will be able to help
If your friend was so generous to give you that nice piece of hardware I´m sure he can guide you to replace the Android OS with that Microsoft crap. Your friend has invested some time and energy in the modification of his phone so he would be interested in having you enjoying it, too, wouldn´t he?
To be able to help it would be useful to know if android rom is nand (ie has replaced the original wm6.5 os) or is running from sd card.
When you boot up the phone, does magldr load?
I would suggest you do go over to the hd2 forum and look at the sticky threads, tey have all the info you will need to change/update android to something newer or even change os completely to say wp7?
If your droid is nand, it is very simple to update, just head over to the HD2 nand forum
Cheers.
Thank you everybody for being kind and not throwing noob slanders at me. The friend who gave me the phone actually bought it off of someone who put android on it haha so this nice phone is a hand-me-down for sure.
Hello everybody, before i get to my point let me introduce myself.. i am a college student studying in Australia and i am of indian origin although have never stayed there due to parents being moved around in mnc from wen i am small. I just bought my s2 today and i am having some big software issues. The set i bought is from china as i am here on holiday.
Phone Details:
PDA:I9100XWKE7
PHONE: I9100XXKE4
CSC:I9100XEUKD1
I did a factory reset right after buying as i was hoping to rid of these chinese apps but that was no good.. Then i tried to download some android apps from android market but phone saying not recognized. i deleted and syncd my google account 3 times but to no use. PS. i cannot find a default android market app icon on my phone as well..
Can anyone please shed some light about my specific phone and what i must do to get it working to its full potential.. simple google, weather apps is not all i am hoping for.. I love being part of online communities for all my electronics such as my ps3, blackberry and alienware but i am very very new to android and smartphones but i am willing to learn as much as i can. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thank you very much folks!

There is a dedicated Galaxy S2 forum for this, I am sure someone can solve your problem there. Here's the link:

I just shelled out about $900 for a really nice Pioneer AVH-X5700BHS in dash DVD, Sirius and what I looking for specificly was the ability to utilize the Mirorlink or AndriodAuto orAppRadio Live - whatever. I spent countless hours on the phone with the salesmanager from Crutchfield, oh before I forget- This is the second radio I have been sent because they keep telling me my S5 will work and do as shown. I am a starving student so very penny I dont spend on school, I put into my car/hobby/girlfriend - whatever.lol So here is where im at after watching and reading everything I could on what to do, I thought before jumping into just rooting my phone from an unknown source I would ask a community who knows this phone inside and out.
The Phone: Samsung Model SM-G900V
Android Version: 5.o
Kernel Version: 3.4.0
Any additional information will gladly be given
From a Youtube video of a guy with the same S5 was controlling his pioneer deck, being able to utilize EVERYTHING that the product is claimed to do, however he said he had to upload a root (didn't give name of source) and dropped his firmware to the 4.4.2, furthermore he said he needed to revise his Kernel to 3.4.0 - so that in his screenshot of his phone after his build number he stated it needed to read " SE for Android Status - permissive. Furthermore he said in order to utilize Screen Mirroring he had to download chrome cast, I couldn't understand why and that is why I am going to attach a link for anyone that is interested or can help!
I appreciate any and all help and or suggestions at this point - God Bless Jon Proctor San Diego Ca

Hi
Just so you know , there is a possibility that rooting your phone might not help your case.
According to these threads.

Stock Mirrorlink on lollipop devices has compatibility issues.
Maybe you can try this application first before rooting.

Again I am not very sure that rooting has "helped" a person to connect to a radio when the radio software doesn't support the device.

Hey all,
Firstly, I'll just start by saying if ANYONE can Judy remotely root this device for me...I'm willing to pay as after watching 50+ YouTube videos I'm lost.
My device: Samsung S8+ (SM-G955F) UK Phone.
I want to root so I can play.......PokemonGo! Yes I know, sad! I'm a Dad now and its the extent of my gaming experience these days.
My first question is, with the device details (I can give more) is a root even possible?
Thanks in advance, I know the phones old it's a spare we've had knocking around.
