Hello everyone I am a newbie to all this stuff. Let me wrap up my doubts quickly.
1. What are consequences of rooting your phone? I know it voids the warranty. But is it safe to give root access to your apps?
Does it safe to provide root access to apps and is it safe from intrusions malware's etc..
2. What else can we do apart from customization of the phone.
Please help me to get through this. BTW m using nexus 5 con android 4.4.4 not rooted( obviously :laugh
Thanks in advance
with root you have full control of your phone, without it you can use it but you will never have full control.

Hi, wrong forum, but we can still help you out:
1. No consequences - IF - you follow all the instructions and only use apps/ROMs that have been verified for your device. Using apps/ROMs that don't have a good rating or aren't meant for your phone can lead to negative results.
2. Rooting your phone opens up its permissions, therefore allowing you to virtually change any aspect of your device: the look, the performance, anything you can think of. We recommend watching videos on the Xposed Modules and ROM reviews for CM and Paranoid Android.
Good luck!
Hey thank you for kind and detailed reply even to wrong placed post... Given the advice, now m running CyanogenMod 11 and yes of course used themer app before rooting my n5 and again now using the same coz I just simply love this app...
Good

Do you know how to work with android?
If you are noob in this matter please read about android and it's ROM's.
Don't do that if you don't know what you're doing
Cheers

+1. Before you get into playing with stuff, you should do some reading.
Just to get you started, you need to get "admin" level access of the phone to delete stuff. For this you need to root the phone. Read about rooting (GOOGLE it up) and if you think you are comfortable with it, just follow this forum and you should get a good idea about how to go about it.
But be warned that you may mess up and the phone might not even start.
Best of luck.
Hey guys, when you're telling someone like "go read" or something, please use the old fashion method and give us a link. It's really hard for Android newbs to understand everything.
The easiest way to root your Optimus One Android 2.2 is to use Z4root
But still, I don't know what to do next..
EDIT:
There's some information: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=855654&highlight=uninstall
And here's how you can do it too: http://jaxov.com/2010/09/how-to-remove-stock-default-android-apps-easily/
After installing z4root.
Install Titanium Backup from the market.
Open z4root, select Temporary Root, run Titanium Bakcup and uninstall the apps you don't wan't!
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.
Hi guys!
Yesterday I have got my ZTE V987...it is really functioning very well but what it annoying for me are those chineze applications...the biggest problem is that I can not start Play Store even I have no problems during the installation...
How can I root my device? What ROM to use (is there any that is stable and includes standard google apps)?
Sorry if this question is too simple for you, I am real beginner and in Montenegro I can not find any good service to do this operation for me...
If it is not to complicated for you, please, describe the whole process to me, what software to use, where to download...etc...just for me to be safe that I will not ruin the phone...also, it will be useful for other newcomers like me for sure
Thanks a lot in advance and best regards from sunny Montenegro!

First off welcome to XDA ! To root your device I would recommend checking out this thread and downloading the root tool from the link in that thread. Make sure to follow the onscreen instructions of the bat file included in the root tool very carefully that you will use to root your phone. If you have any questions about anything involving the rooting process, or have any questions at all about Android customization of Android in general feel free to ask (You can PM me as well if you want).

The root procedure should still work with 4.2.2 but to be on the safe side I would recommend instead checking out this thread that will show you how to root your LG G2 (D802) with the shipping ROM (Android 4.2.2). Make sure to watch the video in that thread (At least) twice over that way you feel comfortable with the root procedure, and what is involved. As far as does it effect the bootrom which I take it you are referring to your devices stock ROM that is on the device. Rooting does not effect the stock ROM on your device it just gives you root file system access and superuser privileges (Root user, which is like administrator privileges on Windows), in the process of rooting your device the Superuser app and su binary will be installed this is what allows you to run root apps and other root tasks. If you still have questions let me know.
thanks so much mate , i appreciate the help you gave , :good: ,

Glad you got it rooted! The next step if you want to customize it further is to install a custom recovery image such as TWRP following the instructions in the thread. A custom recovery image will allow you to backup your stock ROM, flash custom ROMs, custom kernels and other MODs. For custom ROM's Cyanogenmod 11 for your device is a great custom ROM to start with lots of great customization options and performance tweaks. I would start with these and then I would check out the G2 D802 Android Development Section, if you want to customize further. Always happy to help people out, let me know how it goes :good:.
I have a Lenovo vibe x2, i used to have windows-phones but since my last one got stolen i thought i would try androids out. Lenovo has now updated vibe X2 to the lollipop upgrade and i can't find a video or anything that will help me root my device.
Plus i have some questions about rooting an android :
1st. does it worth to do so ?
2nd. What will i get from rooting my phone
3rd. Is it dangerous cause my phone might bug and what will i need to do if that happens ?
I would really appreciate someone answering those questions and helping me with the root.
(a trustful guide and trustful files will do just great, i am computer experienced enough to make it through it's just some fears i need to "extinguish" )

I found this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yUGYK0tarBE
Although the title says Android 5.0 Lollipop but we can clearly see throughout the video that the guy is running android 4.4.2. Anyway, I've never heard of/tried kingroot so I can't be sure if its legit or not but you can give it a try.
And as for your questions:
1. Root is NOT a necessity. You can use google search to know about it and decide yourself.
2. Again you can find this by a google search.
3. There is always a risk when you mod your phone. Incase you somehow manage to brick it by that simple tutorial, I guess your device would have some stock firmware online which you can download and reflash by some kind of flashtool to restore to stock.
Cheers,
AJ
