[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] catchesbass:
I just got a new Galaxy Skyrocket and I am dying to root it and put Jelly Bean on it. The problem is that I have absolutely no idea where to even start. I am not worried about voiding the warranty since I bought the phone outright with the intention of rooting it and installing Jelly Bean. But being the idiot that I am, I don't have a clue what to do. Does anybody have a rooting guide for dummies?

Tried reformatting internal sdcard but still got same error while wiping but It says Data Wipe complete.. I hope anyone can help me with this..

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] devid801:
You need to odin the stock tar. Then boot into stock recovery and wipe data/cache. Then reboot. I have had this happen as well. Its a problem with recovery some how messing up partitions . If you just odin the stock tar it may boot loop. Thats why i say boot into stock recovery after and wipe. Actually several of us had this problem a while back. And there was no other way around it.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] D2dyno:
Oh, okay. Thanks! I must have gotten the one before this, because that one was leaked, but rwilco12's post didn't change, so I assumed it was still the leaked version.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] musclehead84:
All u have to do is Odin Agatha stock fh13 kernel with cwm. Then boot into recovery and flash su.zip. then u will have root.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] cferd:
Ok, so I don't know how anyone roots their ROMs - and I mean root, not replace with an already rooted ROM - but here's what I did on my phone:

1. Installed FH13 thru Kies

2. With a little nudge I ODINed AGAT's custom kernel (v2.1?), which gave me the Triangle on startup.

3. Googled, found and installed superuser zip from recovery.

4. Installed the Busybox app from the Play Store. Then opened Busybox, hit install.

5. Installed Supersu from the Play Store, then used my already-installed Root Explorer to delete superuser.apk from system/app.

6. Deleted the Busybox app from settings/applications.

7. Installed a copy of TriangleAway-v1.25.apk that I keep on my sd card, then opened it, used it to clear the Triangle created in step 2, then restarted the phone to check.

8. Deleted TriangleAway from settings/applications.

9. Installed leaked FH13 stock kernel thru recovery. I couldn't find the pulled official OTA one, but they're supposed to be identical.

and Voila! I had what I wanted - official ROM, stock kernel and root.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Raistlin1:
Can't we just flash a custom recovery (like CWM or agats) via Odin and then flash su.zip in that recovery and then you are rooted? This way nothing changes with the kernel?

That is how I originally rooted my Galaxy Tab 10.1. But now that I am typing this I am remembering that someone just recently told me that the recovery is part of the kernel for our E4GT so then just flashing a recovery is not possible, correct?

I had bad luck with one of the first OC FF13 rooted methods because there is something not compatible with the old bootloader and FF13. So I nandroided back to my FF18 build and then updated to FF13 via kies and so far (knocks on wood) everything is great with this updated. I really don't want to install a different kernel right now because I don't want to mess with a good thing but I really need my root back.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] crawrj:
Right the recovery and the kernel are the same on this device. So you have to replace the kernel to get custom recovery. You could install the custom kernel, flash su and install the stock kernel. Or you can Odin Odexed No Data Wipe Tar from http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1844109 and be done.

---------- Post added at 11:19 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:12 AM ----------

Here is what I would change to cut down a step.

1. Installed FH13 thru Kies

2. With a little nudge I ODINed AGAT's custom kernel (v2.1?), which gave me the Triangle on startup.

3. Install SuperSu from here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1806111.

4. Installed the Busybox app from the Play Store. Then opened Busybox, hit install.

5. Deleted the Busybox app from settings/applications.

6. Installed a copy of TriangleAway-v1.25.apk that I keep on my sd card, then opened it, used it to clear the Triangle created in step 2, then restarted the phone to check.

7. Deleted TriangleAway from settings/applications.

8. Installed leaked FH13 stock kernel thru recovery. I couldn't find the pulled official OTA one, but they're supposed to be identical.

and Voila! I had what I wanted - official ROM, stock kernel and root.

Of course you could just Odin Odexed No Data Wipe Tar from http://xdaforums.com/show....php?t=1844109 and accomplish the same exact thing in one step:)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] cferd:
Yea, I knew I had taken more steps than needed when I rooted my phone, but the steps I mentioned were the steps I actually took so I felt the need to post them that way. I do however have the SuperSU file you posted for future use, thanks.

Disassembly of an Amoded display and digitizer isn't an easy job as well as correct assembly, especially for thin displays like the one that XT910 sports. I suggest you to order full display assembly for the best practice. However, you can buy the digitizer itself from ebay. Prices are about 50-80 $ !

I broke mine after dropping it face first on the floor, and got quoted £250 plus postage, only to find that the company had finally received the screen only to find that it would only display green.

So just be careful whether the actual screen works or not.

Broke mine a few months ago and have been looking for parts sources since. It seems that the digitizer goes for around 180 to 200 $. But sending it to the repair service here in France costs a bit less. Go figure.

Anyway I'm actually waiting to see a good price on a used phone and will probably buy one and keep my old/broken phone for (other) parts. Or sell it on ebay.

[Motorola Droid RAZR] davizera:
My wife's Razr Gorilla glass broke from a 1m fall. When she went to pick it up she also cut her finger in the broken glass, something that is surely an engineering problem. You might expect the phone to brake, but not to injure yourself. I contacted Moto and they changed the LCD for no charge, at least.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] vash_h:
A friend was using a s3 when he dropped it.. Around less than a meter as well, he's really short.. Facing up.. The glass broke. So much for gorila glass.. At leastsamsung repaired his phone for free..

[Motorola Droid RAZR] KnukLHead:
Bigger displays are easier to break no matter what kind of glass. Its simple physics
[Motorola Droid RAZR] brandogg:
You cannot replace the digitizer alone. The digitizer and LCD and fused together, just like on the iPhone 4 and 4S, and the Galaxy S, S II, and S III phones. You can use a heatgun all you want (I also work in a cell phone repair shop), but you will end up destroying the LCD in the process anyway. The screens are often sold separately so that you can buy them individually, in case you drop your phone again it will be cheaper to repair the second time.

Gorilla glass is for scratch protection, if you drop it, it will crack. There is no getting around that.

[NFC Hacking] typhoonikan:
Of course, not complicated programmed NFC cards like opening an app and executing an activity, but instead reading a simple.vCard or email or website address or quick connect to WiFi network.

Will those work cross OS? Isn't it just sending raw data which the OS uses? Or is this another gap between android and iPhone?

I suppose my question is what kind of compatibility are we going to see?

Also: I can't wait to watch how apple makes NFC so popular because everyone will have it thanks to apple's popularity, while android has had it for such a long time now. -_-;

[NFC Hacking] TheLegendaryJay:
iOS6 doesn't support NFC thus the iPhone 5/6/New (w/e it's called) will not unless they have changed their mind lastminute dot com, apparently Apple prefers to not be in a first mover position, according to Wikipedia.

Perhaps with the iPad 4 (aka the New New iPad) they'll bring NFC and an update to iOS6.

Who cares anyway. It's Apple.

Apple won't be able to sue them because NFC has been around quite a while and there are plenty of companies "in" on the technology, even if they purchase the patent(s) there is prior art and thus would (in a normal, non-Applefied country) nullify their patent claims.

It's just an App you sign into and add different services and use wirelessly, a sort of work around until they eventually shove NFC in their phones.
