Are we ready for a [bounty] thread?
Yes Please
I have 50$ US ready to donate for some of the Root love! Something tells me though, Sony has this puppy pretty locked down....
Ill throw $30 on top of that $50.
They rooted the bionic in a few days. Its not easy, but it can be done
I've got some beer money to donate...not much though.
Hell yea!!!!
I'm willing to pitch in a few $$. Not sure how much, But I'm generous.

Really want root so can use cifs shares...really sucks not having that feature.
I would like it to be rooted JUST so i can have a clean version of OS with Playstation software
Installed root explorer and can see the system files? It might even be pre-rooted, how can I check?
Sent from my Sony Tablet S using Tapatalk
Download super user to see! Though, I doubt you're pre-rooted? Did root explorer ask for permissions? You can also download terminal emulator and type "su", without quotes. That will definitely tell you.

I think they can tweak the Root method for the international Note once they get a system dump from an ATT Note. I don't think it's a big stretch.

I have the international version, rom LA4. I screwed up and updated with KIES from the previous rom to LA4 and lost root. To get it back, I'd have to downgrade (wipe), root, then update OTA to get it back. The exploit used for the older rom won't work on the newer. Not sure if they will figure it out, I think they would rather spend their time tinkering with ICS (can't blame em). Make sure one the at&t version can be hacked, that you watch how you update it. First time I've had a non rooted phone for 9 months, the ads are about to drive me nuts
I'm sure when ICS hits, it will be full of exploits to root it until Sammy figures out where the holes are located and plugs them up.
More then likely we can root with Skyrocket's version.

Totally agree, normally I like to get root straight away but with the Xperia S I just feel no need at present.
Sent from my LT26i using xda premium
Totally depends on what you wanna do with it.
I needed root voor titanium backup and root explorer. If you don't need this then there is really no need.
At the moment I don't see a reason to root. The rom is great and stable. The only reason for rooting I see now is if you want to install/flash a host file to stop all the ads.
There's also a nice framework mod out now with quick toggles in the notification bar. Like there is in cyanogenmod.
I have still not rooted the xps. Will probably do it when some good custom roms are out..
Sent from my LT26i using XDA
If you use a rom does that change the phone completely or just a part? Or does it only add something?
Sent from my LT26i using XDA
It depends on the Rom. If CM9 or even CM10 reaches the XS then you get a completely different user experience. If you use a custom rom based on the existing XS NXT skin then it still is Sony interface.
I have not yet needed to root yet myself either.
I would wait for ICS before i do any rooting. Only reason i would root is to get rid of bloatware and those annoying ads.

I'm the proud owner of a Galaxy Note i717 but the limitations of gingerbread are driving me crazy....so the first thing I want to do is root and flash a different ROM problem is I'm without a computer ugh.
I came across a YouTube video showing how to root the other model without using a computer so I was wondering if anyone knew of a solution for the i717 model.
So is it possible to root the i717 galaxy note without a computer?

do you have CWM on your device? like ranger stated below...no need to root to flash...

Honestly I would not attempt to flash without a pc handy...due to the saying
"ya never know"
Even though we have the same make/model devices....they are not the same... my GNote may not like a ROM as to yours might...like I trying explaining ... the computer being your safety net if something goes wrong....I would wait or find a friend that you can use a computer, but it is your call, it is your investment.
btw unless someone knows a way to put CWM on the device without a computer....I believe you will need a computer...
Since CWM is a custom kernel, you could flash it from the phone using the Mobile Odin app.
Edit: oops never mind -- you need to be rooted to use Mobile Odin. Sorry for the bad information.
I rooted one phone using the terminal emulator after downloading such and busy box to the SD card. But its harder than climbing Everest without oxygen typing those commands.

So I Bought a Galaxy note (i717) the charger port is messed up on the device. It will charge, but it wont allow any PC connectivity. I have searched google and xda for information how how to root this phone with out a PC (aka using an .apk like framaroot) and I can not find a viable solution. I have tried Z4Root and Framaroot and neither of them work. Do you know of any other ways to root my device with out a pc? If i dont need a Root to Flash Could you point me in the right direction to find that information I haven't put CWM on the device yet because I Cant Root so I cant MobileOdin ect.. you see the picture lol. Is it possible to use an Update.zip file? or use a formatted SDcard to flash it like I did to Flash NookColor1?

Hi
I want to know what is your personally reason for root the phone?
I rooted my phone because want to try something new, i like changes, want to know something about rooting, want to install add away and call recorder from skvalex.
What about You ? Which apps do you use for rooted phones?
P.S
This thread can give me ideas or new way to use phone, new apps which i dont know, etc.
I do it because I can. And because I like the freedom root access allows.

But what " freedom root access" mean? What do you have with it and what do you do ? That what i want to know because i want discover more then i know - even if i dont know
I rooted due to customization, few apps like titanium backup pro, cwm, reverse Tethering
I love to be controller of my gadget not some os
Android as-is offers a lot of customization, but rooting it unlocks a whole new level of customization and offers things never possible without root privileges.
How some people can enjoy the locked-down state of iOS is beyond me, or letting themselves be controlled by Apple in the first place.
It offer you more option to do with your phone.
Hope I help u

Root comes stock with CM10.1, and one of the key reason for root would be for backup.
You can access all the different root directories to transfer files and sync it automatically in the night when you're sleeping!

I came into rooting because I bought a Vodafone 360[i8320] which had linux mobile on it and great specs for that day. With that phone you could connect to the Vodafone 360 forum were you can buy apps(limo) for €5 and share your contacts and connect to 360 people.
Within +/- a year the 360 forum was dead. I found the H1 Droid forum were people weer busy porting Android on that phone. It had much benefits: custom roms flashing and making backups, adjusting the phone in every aspect; from keylayout to dpi to overclocking to kernel adjusting. Getting adds out of free apps and getting apps for free.
Nowadays I enjoy a G. Nexus which I immediately rooted after buying it.

I'm really hoping there's more info soon, I got mine for free too. The weird thing is that even the people at Verizon didn't have a lot of info on their own device. Anyone know if it has NFC? There are many sources both ways.
Got mine for free as well, but seems very slow.. I know it only has 1gb Ram but I figured with a quad core it could at least run streampix and Netflix without constant stuttering.. Hoping for some root methods and custom rooms to get some better performance out of it soon! Please and thank you!

Kingo worked well to root, and get SuperSU(Thanks to chainfire for this amazing free piece of software we all take for granted!) Can we get any developers interested in getting us recovery? Maybe get an official thread for this device? Here is all the information on the device http://pdadb.net/index.php?m=specs&id=5276&c=verizon_ellipsis_7_quanta_qmv7a
