1 yes you can
2 so many do a search
3 no you cant update your phone if it is rooted
3.1 but you can update it by unrooting it temporarily using an app superuser
4 1 rooting will void your warranty
2 do it as clear as per the instructions for rooting else you will soft brick your phone you can unbrick that but take precautions
that's all take a risk friend

root?

Hello could someone please point me in the right direction to root this thing. I've notice there are different methods and a lot of brick talk on here so I'm a little reluctant to use one.I'm not new to the root I have rooted my evo,intercept,g2, galaxy tab. But all those seemed pretty safe I have t 201 and I updated to ics. One more thing I don't care much about the roms just want to run rooted programs so is it even worth it with such a new device?
I rooted mine with sparkys root but first use the unlock tool <unzip your unlock tool prior>...sparkys app is easy either download it with your computer then place in the file of your liking to open and install the app... or i think you can just download it from his page in developement with your prime. And has uproot available which I have done and then rerooted just for fun... enjoy your rooted Prime..

Hi,

Serious Questions on rooting Galaxy S2

Hey guys! 404 here!
I have some questions that I would like answered because I'm pretty weary on the idea of rooting. I understand that there is so many benefits of rooting a phone but these questions may seem strange but I guess I was taught to ask before I do.
If I were to root my phone on one carrier on the Galaxy S2 that I have currently with one company still in a plan, would I be able to insert another carriers SIM card whilst the phone has been rooted simply because what I thought is that the phone would be locked to that sim that was is in the phone being rooted.. Also, I forgot to mention. Would there be any other hazards such as that if I root the phone?
If I am able to root the phone and insert any SIM card into the phone at a later stage, could anyone provide me with a tutorial on how to root and unroot the Galaxy S2.
Thanks.

1. Rooting and unlocking are different things. But yeah you can unlock your device after you root it.
2. There are lots of tutorials on how to safely root.
3. It's really easy to unroot. You go to www.sammobile.com, download the firmware you want and flash through Odin.
4. Any other questions don't hesitate to ask.

[Q] Any chance to root Galaxy S3 Mini clone aka Bephone I9300

Recently bought an android phone hoping it was on ICS 4.0.3 as it states in the About Phone. Just read through a forum @ forum.china-iphone.ru/viewtopic.php?t=24021 that it wasn't. Is there any hope this device can be rooted at least? I'm having a lot of apps which can install from Google Play but aren't working properly sometimes downright shutting down (ie. Temple Run). I even get the error 498 while trying to download some apps. Hoping you could help me root it.
Here's some more details about this phone.

[Q] Rooting x501 (Cricket ZTE Groove)

Hello, I'm new to the forum also the world of rooting. I have a ZTE Groove x501_USA_Cricket (Model) That I can't for the life of me find any information on rooting or doing anything on it. So I reached out here, and hopefully to get some help and possibly a guide to do so. Since I'm very new to rooting and don't want to mess up my phone. Advice, and such is really helpful. Hope to hear from some of you pretty soon. Thank you!
Bump.

I just recently went through the MANY problems that came along with rooting this phone. I was able to successfully root it using the giantpoon method. Just 2 files and the pooter does the work. PM me for the links.
As far as I can tell, there isn't a custom recovery or ROM for it, but I was able to remove some bloatware and improve the overall battery life by altering some minor settings (using ROMToolbox). My issue is that the wifi stopped working and in an effort to undo any potential damage I had done, I tried restoring (NOOB!)... Needless to say; I now have an unrooted x501 with no working wifi. If I choose to get my service turned back on for it, I should be able to reroot (the ministro ii app requires some resource files), then it's just a matter of finding a good backup of the stock ROM so I can do a complete fix.

Is it even possible to root a Samsung Galaxy Grand Prime SM-G530T1?

I don't know if anyone has made a post about it yet, but I've been searching how to root my phone and I've only seen how to unlock it, people using KingRoot (just bricks it and I've successfully un-softbricked it), or rooting it for another version thats not the one I have. I haven't seen anything on rooting this version so for future references I hope this post will help people with the same question. Dunno if that effects it but just in case you needed to know I have metro-pcs and after unbricking it I used a t-mobile firmware so it has all the animations and t-mobile apps. All I need to know is if its even possible to root it.
how did u un-brick it I just bricked mine the same way you did an cant find anyway to un-brick it please email me ASAP!!!!!! [email protected]
