Hello.
I need access to a file, but on several sites on google - all say that i need to root...
So i want to root my phone, but still keep the "official" android (dont want CyanogenMod etc.)
But im really insecure on how to root my phone - and how risky is it?
Can you please provide me with a guide (with pictures please) on how to root it.
PS: Can i still update my android, if i root the phone?
Will all the data on the phone be deleted? like reinstalling windows....

You should have posted in galaxy s2 section but:
You can keep stock android, just follow this link to root your S2 and it will be fine. There is also video tutorial in the link
You won't be able to update your phone with Software Update but you can always find the latest firmware for S2 from SamFirmware
The sam firmware website is where you can find all the stock firmware for the S2
Your files will be fine such as music pictures etc they will not be wiped and it's not risky to root your phone with the link above
If you have any other questions just ask

Also heard alot of rumors about the Odin - that is was unstable and such, can you confirm that?

Hi and welcome!
I'll try to reply to your questions in the same style
Q1: There is small difference between V10c and V10D. In my opinion, it is not wise to update original fw until the official 2.3 arrives. If you upgrade from 2.2 to 2.2.2 you'll loose the ability to root your phone.
Q2: You can always downgrade your device using KDZ. If you need more info on this one, follow this thread. Just make sure to read carefully and try to understand the risk that implies flashing with KDZ. If you pass this ones, you'll be upgrading and downgrading in no-time.
Q3: You can remove pre-installed apps only if you root your phone, and use an root un-installer, or by flashing a different rom with no pre-installed apps.
To do this, you have to have Android 2.2 on your device (not 2.2.2), and use a tool like SuperOneClick Root or Z4Root. Again, you should be careful and read every warning.
To get the most from your phone, check out the threads on XDA forum regarding Optimus One Android Development or Optimus One General. There are a lot of things to do, with a lot of details and tutorials, just follow carefully.
I hope this helps you.
Cheers mate!

thanks for your kind advice .. I have tried to root using z4 root but it didn't rooted my phone instead my phone was lil bit slow after installation then i have upgraded to V10D through original firmware which shown in my pc suite .
It have tried to open the following link
http://csmg.lgmobile.com:9002/csmg/b2c/client/ezlooks_model_list.jsp?model=LGP500
but it seems the link is not working.
So ..I m thinking better to wait for one more month for LG till it releases 2.3 ..
Man, you'll have to wait more than one month for 2.3... :|
About the link you cannot open, i guess it is broken, it doesn't work for me either. But you must be able to find the fw you need for your country by searching for it on google. I found mine on other forum, and it works perfect. Just google "lg optimus one <<your country>> rom" (no quotes) and you shall find it. Be sure to get the *.kdz file, not *.dz, they need some other application for flashing, and it is more complicated.
About rooting with z4root, you need to downgrade to v10C or below (maybe v10D works too, i haven't tried) and then use z4root. Make sure you have debugging checked in applications before using z4root.
If you want to root v10D or newer (but up to android 2.2.1) you should be able to do it using OneClick method, it is easy enough, though you need the drivers installed on your pc, as you will connect the device via usb.
Tell me where are you from, maybe i can get you the original fw, at least i can help finding
Cheers!

Hello everybody,
I got myself my very first Android phone yesterday, and I'm really glad with all of it's features, but I'd like to root it, the problem is is that it's running on kernelversion XWKJ3 and I can't find any thread, post, video, etc about if it actually IS possible to root the phone on this kernel, because according to some videos I need a speciffic kernel to root the phone, and I just can't find any, and I'm out of ideas. I don't know if it doesn't matter what kernel you need, or anything, and I can't seem to find it either.
Thanks already for just taking your time to read this,

Everything you need to know about rooting is here.
Basically everything you need to do to get root, is to flash a kernel, that has root enabled
It's in the 7th post of this thread.

Rooting your phone won't magically make it update past 2.3.5.
Regarding how to root your phone, there are stickies in these forums with all the information you need.
thank you, I understand everything now (at least I hope so.)
Hi all,
I have a Samsung Galaxy SIII which is on 3UK and I'm finding it quite slow and I'd like to start with getting rid of all the software I really do not want which comes bundled with the operator software, there is tons of it!
As I can't uninstall any of it, I understand that my options are to live with it, or root it.
I'm afraid I have no idea about rooting at all and wouldnt really no where to start. So... where do I start? I do not really need the phone to do anything fancy I just want the bare bones so that I can install what I want on it, not what someone else wants me to have on it.
Can I load the Samsung firmware onto it with no additional apps? This would be my ideal solution... Failing that, I guess i'll have to root it, but I also understand that I have to choose a ROM...
Can anyone point me in the right direction of a good basic tutorial to get me started on this?
Thanks in advance!
You just have to Flash an unbranded rom I guess..then full wipe and you are golden

Hi Gavin, rooting is always a good option as it enables you to begin to exploit the potential of your device....however it is not necessary to do what you are suggesting.
The latest unbranded UK rom XXELL4 and the information you require is all in Faryaab's thread here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=25922191&postcount=1
You can flash the stock rom using Odin software which is also available in the same post.
If you wish to root there are also other pre-rooted roms available to flash via Odin elsewhere in this general section. The key is that the latest UK unbranded rom is, as I say XXELL4
Hi, thanks for that clarification, just the info I needed!
The SOLUTION for this Problem can be find on a german forum: android-hilfe.de
The Link to the solution is: android-hilfe.de/lenovo-allgemein/602909-vodafone-smarttab-4-update-problem-durch-root-4.html#post8038841
If wanted I can try to translate the solution... but my english is not so good. But if it is wanted i will do my best.
Hello community,
I and a few other german people have problems after Rooting the Vodafone SmartTab 4.
At first I would explain what i have done.
1.) Rooting the device with Framaroot -> all working good
2.) Want to flash the official 4.4.2 Update -> Warning that my device is rooted, but it is still downloaded
3.) Installing the Update -> getting this Error at automatic and manuel: Look at the Attachment please
4.) Unroot the Tablet with Framaroot -> didn´t function... Updater says the Tab is rootet... same if I trying it with the Unrootoption in SuperSU
I have the Original Recoverie on the Device and only the rooted Vodafone (yes i rooted it again... the unroot function correct, tested it with the Root Checker App).
Does anyone know a Custom Recoverie and a CustomROM for this Device? Or have anyone a Idea how i can put the 4.4.2 Update on this Device?
Thanks for all your help!
Sincerly Althalus
PS: If someone need the Update.zip from Vodafone... (<500MB) i can Post the Link in a PN.
PS2: From a other German i get the information that this Device should be a "Alcatel OneTouch Pop 8", Model: P323X, if this helps.

Well, I would say sometimes some problems start to appear after rooting your device because of apps, look what previously going on over your device is its imposed by the limits of vendors and now all those apps are free to use in any manner the apps like. So, I would consider it as a demerit of rooting the device.

Okay... then it is as i thought. :crying:
Maybe i could get the original ROM. If this works... it would be great. Damn branded Devices... I would never buy such of them in the future.

Well, yes you can get the original ROM try heading over to the sammobile/firmware section and putting your device appropriate information you can get the stock ROM available for your device. Then you can take the help of ODIN to flash that stock ROM over to your device.
