Just got 2 of these for our kids for Christmas... I've read that they're rooted out of the box, and found instructions to get superSu & busy box installed, but I'm wondering if anyone is doing any work outside of that? They were only $60 at Big Lots, and it's a WAY better alternative to letting the kids use our old phones which have functionalities we don't want them to have...
Thanks in advance, and if this is posted in the wrong forum, please feel free to move!

For the record, you XDA folk are amazing.
Are there folks out there by region that would help other folks such as myself (for appropriate fee, Starbucks menu-configuration) who are complete NOOB IDIOTS that would upgrade (change ROM) on our machines for us, or in the alternative, or show us how.
Info would be good to know and you guys good at same could make some....coffee money. Region of interest to me: central california.
Bless you for what you do.
Question: If I upgrade to a better ROM than out of the box, will I be able to use Adroid Market and do most normal things that an Android can do????
Thanks again. You guys that submerge yourself into this stuff are superheros!
Look in my signature. Yes, all custom roms have full market access.
Couldn't be happier

Honestly if you have an hour or two to read through the numerous walkthroughs that are out there for the G-tablet you will be fine. These are very forgiving, and even if you do mess something up, chances are more than likely you will be able to recover it. I would suggest not only reading up on how to root/flash a new rom, but read through and prepare to do an NVflash, so if/when your device sticks at the 3 little birds, you wont have to worry and can be happy (bob marley).

I had to upgrade my cell phone at Verizon yesterday and they talked me into getting a smartphone, so I got the newly released Pantech Breakout. It runs Gingerbread 2.3.3 and I was wondering can it be rooted? Has it been rooted? If it's not been rooted yet by someone, are there any chances that it will be since it's a low to middle-end phone? I tried Gingerbreak on it and left it running all night and all it did was stay stuck on the Rooting screen.
I need it rooted so I can replace the wpa_supplicant file and be able to connect to my ad-hoc network here at home.
Thanks for any help.
I'm curious too. Everything I've read says it can't be (yet). But I'm still searching. So far gingerbreak and superoneclick don't work =/
Please use the Q&A Forum for questions Thanks
Moving to Q&A
Bump! Also, are there plans to have a dedicated sub-forum for this device?
Thanks
Thanks for the replies all.
@ lucf Sorry for posting in the wrong forum. I'm new here and there are so many categories.
Does anybody else have this phone? If so what do you think about it? I think it's pretty awesome minus no flash and slower processor.
Yeah.....any luck with the root?
I am using right now. Not sure about root, being that I will only have it for a week or so.. its pretty nice and $49 on contract at bby isn't bad.. I am pretty sute the processor is the same as the thunderbolt processor.. the ram is less however.

No luck with the root yet, hoping someone will figure out how to do it soon, haha. I don't even know where to start or I'd look into it myself.
Did u guys know that this phone will do data and voice at the same time. Even on straight 3g.??
Sent from my ADR8995 using XDA App
I'm getting this phone sometime next week. I hope it becomes popular enough that somebody might try for root on it. Every where I look more and more people are picking this phone up for cheap LTE.
When I get it I'll see what I can do, but this may require a whole new root method.
I hope to see root soon! I am sick and effing tired of seeing my wife futz with the stupid system apps autoupdating themselves and taking up precious app memory!

I have had the phone for a few days now and love it for the most part. You are right though, you have to make sure you move new apps to SD or the mem fills up fast.
I got it for free through TigerDirect, so I am not complaining too much. lol.
I keep 4g turned off unless I am surfing or using the Market etc and that VASTLY helps the battery life. Also loaded Launcher Pro to get rid of the stock UI.
All things considered, I think this is a good little phone for the price. Rooting would REALLY let it shine though, IMO.

Hello guys,
can one the experts tell me what is the best and easiest way to root SGS2 on android 2.3.5?
and is there any root that would work without showing the exclamation mark when starting the device?
Good day

You really should READ. A lot.
There is no 'best'. There are indeed several methods to gain root access, but one isn't necessarily better than another. Think of it like a switch. Is there a 'best' way to turn on your kitchen light? There are indeed multiple methods, some more challenging than others...but if the goal is to be able to see and navigate your kitchen to get to the fridge...does it matter if you flip the switch with your thumb or index finger, right or left hand, or even your foot? Not really. That's kinda like root.
Root access is a threshold thing, when you get it it's done.
Search with Google, and Youtube...watch and read all of the tutorials, and decide which one you think looks easiest.
What you should find, is that root = big yellow exclamation mark. Try googling 'sgs2 jig'. You should read about that, too. The jig will help you get rid of the yellow triangle syndrome, and it should cost you less than $3 on ebay. If it doesn't work, you might need an old bootloader...another subject to read up on.
If you want to take on the challenge of rooting and modding your phone, you should take on the challenge and not ask strangers to do your homework for you.
Devs here at XDA are AWESOME. They explain everything...in forums, where you can read it. You can also check out sammobile.com, another great site for people with our phone.
Best of luck! Get crackin'!

Thanks for your comment.
I actually have done a lot of reading but not very deep though. I only need the root to get a VPN running.
Cheers

No worries. Sorry if I was a bit harsh.
Look, check into SuperOneClick and a user named chainfire, in both of those you'll find what you need.
Seems like a lot of trouble for just a VPN. If you've got root afterwards you should think of flashing custom ROMs. That's where the fun stuff happens!
I first tried Ice cream Sandwich at the end of December, and it was awful. But the devs have been working hard on it. I've been running a build that's every bit as stable as stock Gingerbread for 2 weeks now. So many more features. Kicks ass, it does.
Let me know if you have trouble, get stuck or have any specific questions (send a PM). I might not have the answer, but I can point you in the right direction.

I don't know anything about the Epic 4G Touch. I would suggest you read about it yourself.
Start at the Epic 4G ´Touch forums, and Google, and watch vid tutorials at Youtube.
I was once a noob, too, then I read a bunch of stuff...it was hard. I had to work at it, and do it.

Honestly, if you're lost navigating a website, take it very slow customizing your phone. Its a lot harder than clicking links with a mouse, and a mistake will be VERY costly.
Don't rush in. Just be a lurker and a reader for a while, at least until you can find your way around and know some basic stuff. Good luck.
I have always found The Unlockr to have very simple and precise instructions. I am also a very visual person so I use YouTube a lot.
Anyway, take your time, root and enjoy and welcome to the asylum!

WOW, "most thread only have a few replies?" ................REALLY?
I think you are looking n the wrong section. as suggested, "Super Everything Thread". you could also look in the Development section. there are threads where I have 100+ posts myself.
I am sure you are not dumb, but you are coming across a little on the lazy side. sounds like you want everyone else to do the work here. you originally posted 3 days ago and haven't found anything yet
