I tried using casual to root my phone. But it failed. So i used Casual to push CWM to my device, and it stuck. And I flashed this super user zip. Now mind you it might be outdated If you are on current firmware for the phone. But once it's pushed you should just be able to update it or its binaries in the app to make it current.

Using Odin3 v3.07

When ever i try to root my cellphone, it says this

<ID:0/005> SetupConnection..

<ID:0/005> Initialzation..

<ID:0/005> T Flash...

<ID:0/005> Get PIT for mapping..

<ID:0/005>

<ID:0/005> There is no PIT partition.

<OSM> All threads completed. (succeed 0 / failed 1)

I am using rooted.system.img.tar , it just fails and doesn't do anything. Where do i get Pit partition and what does it do?

Before i start the rooting i select T Flash, auto reboot and reset time. DO i need to select them or not?

Recently I saw that apps are now discriminating against root users(not allowing download/play). Do you think if apps would universally start doing this, would it cut down piracy or just push more root users to download illegally?

I for one believe it will have the latter effect, what do you guys think of this?

So what are some example apps that are denying access if your phone is determined to be rooted? I've never run into one, and I can't imagine any popular app would resort to something so easily worked around.

(the workaround: temporarily move/rename the 'su' binary out of the PATH to "hide" it, since that's the method almost all apps would use to detect if you're rooted.)

some people cant afford to buy certain apps, like a 99$ navigation map for example. There are many different points of views...
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] G-Man.:
So ppl can afford $400 - $600 (retail) and $200-ish smartphones, $50 - $100 a month contracts... yet they can't afford a $0.99 app.... please... that's total bs.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] diablo009:
Well said... I set up my "online" credit card for Google Play at $100. Its been like over an year now, n I still have cash left in it... And not one pirated app on my phone. Most of the apps are like a $ or two... and they are more like 1 time buying with free updates for life (well, many of them).

All it takes is a $ or 2 for an you love... so what's the big deal when you are paying like $100 something each month to the cell phone service provider.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] rpavich:
Think about what you just said.

"...stealing is justified because the person who wants to steal feels that they are unwilling to pay the cost for the item...there are many points of view..."

Yeah...and the entitlement mindset "you have something that I feel that I'm entitled to and I don't care if I do something that's wrong...all that matters is that I get it...."...that's a point of view.

I've never understood people who use this rationale....stealing is stealing no matter how you justify it to make yourself feel better while you are doing it.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Nick D:
What's the threshold for stealing? If it were only $50 then it wouldn't be ok? $25? If you can't afford a new car you couldn't just go steal one and have it be ok. And everyone knows "You wouldn't download a car."

If I don't want to pay what it's offered for then I just do without. People should look into dropping their entitlement complex.

On another note, I don't buy into the whole "It's not available in my locale" argument. Maybe I just don't fully understand it being in the US. I've seen many ways to fool your phone/the market to seeing a new locale (for free), and most apps I've ever bought have a direct buy version anyway.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] bootloopz:
Doesn't say anywhere that you have to pay for the apps. Me downloading an apk isn't theft. The original copy is still left intact. Pirates raid ships and steal. They don't make copies.

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Nick D:
If the app isn't offered for free by the developer and you obtain a copy without paying then you're stealing. If you want a warm fuzzy because you're stealing something that can be copied then go ahead and tell yourself that. You are still taking money out of the dev's pocket through theft.

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] bootloopz:
Everything in the world should be open source. Open source coding languages are being used to code these apps. For the most part. So why is it right for someone to charge money for something they built using free software? If I were a dev, I'd open up all my code to the community so we can all improve upon it.

I used to pirate apps...when i was a dumb teenager with little money. Now, i buy ALL my apps, how hard is it to pay 0.99$ for most apps, or even 5$ for the most premium, you not only get regular updates and you also say thank you to the guy that spent time and money to bring you something cool. If people were not so lazy or had higher goals in life than working for a fast food or grocery store, maybe they'd didn't care to pay that little price. The only thing i still pirate is movies, and it's strictly for convenience because here in Canada, our Netflix sucks pretty bad, our video store rent movies for 1/4 of the price of buying it new, and i live a good 30 minutes away from the closest video store. So i have no choice to download if i want to see a movie. But i regularly go to the theaters.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] bootloopz:
You just said pirating is for dumb, broke teenagers. Yet, you pirate movies. You can't have your cake and eat it too. Whether you pirate a 99 cent app, or a $40 bluray, you're still a pirate.

There are other reasons to root than piracy, silly.... I screencast my drawings for one. And I prefer gesture control to the ics bar.

@diviance

Couldn't agree more with you especially the Forbes paragraph at the end.

I'd like to ask how many of you guys who are against piracy have pirated songs on their iPods?

How many of you have ever taken something that didn't belong to you?

How many of you have been given a mix tape from a friend?

I am not for or against piracy, but I do believe you are entitle to freewill and the consequences thereof. You must be willing to accept the consequences of your actions right or wrong.

I used to pirate alot back in the day. But now I have a job. And the government is starting to crack down (rip btjunkie).

Also is it so complicated for an app developer to program the app to check if its purchased in the market? I know when I tried to pirate power amp pro, it detected that it wasn't purchased. I ended up buying it because I've since then matured and respect a nice piece of software.

So as far as software goes.. theres plenty they can do to avoid piracy. But MP3s are a different story.

Will you share your source on this?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] zmore:
Yes, I would download a car, and it wouldn't be nearly as morally wrong as pirating software today, because the future molecular manufacturing nanotechnology needed to "3D print" a car also means that you could fabricate clothing, food, electronics, and just about every other necessity & luxury that used to be scarce. Design and/or download object blueprints PLUS use free solar energy PLUS add some molecular feedstock matter (recycled garbage, poop, dirt, etc) to be reassembled, and print what you used to buy.

So, once desktop molecular manufacturing ushers in the age of abundance in a few more decades, it changes the game more than the internet did.

No longer can anyone plead, "buy my stuff, because I need to put food on the table and clothe my kids!!!"; instead they'll nicely ask, "buy my cool stuff, or kickstart my next thing, if you want to see more, so that I can upgrade my regular condo to a luxury condo to attract a hotter chick!" (real estate, human services, and a few other things will still be fundamentally scarce, so people should still be able to work to get ahead on merit)

Cool story, no? :) Not sci-fi, actually.

I'm neutral. I honestly don't even know how to pirate apps, but there's a 100% chance I would if I did know. I already download music/TV/sports/movies like a madman but I never even bothered to attempt app pirating.

Morally wrong??? This is one of the most insane arguments I've ever heard... human trafficking is morally wrong, murder is morally wrong, the caste/class system is morally wrong... but file-sharing??? Piracy --if it were actually such like sea-faring piracy-- is a misnomer, kinda like labeling cannabis 'marijuana' to stir xenophobic public opinion... the MONETARY system is morally wrong....

'But what about moral hazard," you ask? Enabling 'freeloaders' to sponge off everyone else?? C'mon, what kind of a Christian/Muslim/Jew/Hindu/Buddhist/Taoist are you?

As already mentioned. You can't steal something that can be copied... you have to take it away from the person for it to be theft....

This is really just a problem of people not undrstanding what the revolution of the information age really is, and confounding data as IP. Let me come camp out onyour lawn, eat your food and sh*t in your garden.... THAT'S property, tresspassing, theft....

IP is a joke on the people who try to charge for it, and file-sharing copyrighted material is at MOST civil disobedience.

Unfortunately, this WOULD be an issue. There has never been a way to keep people from getting software for free. Even companies like Autodesk spend millions of dollars on their DRM solutions and they still don't work. If someone wants it, they will get it. The best you can do is slow them down.

I particularly think that Square blocking root users is ridiculous. Having 'root' doesn't prove anything. It doesn't even make piracy easier.

Are you honestly dumb or are you being a douchebag on purpose? How freaking convenient is it to rent movies when a 24 hours rental is 4.99$ + tx and a good 5$ of gas to go and 5$ of gas to come back, not mentioning the 10$ of gas to bring the movie back. So the movie costs me almost 30$, thats the price of the god damn movie brand new in blu-ray. Dont you freaking understand that pirating is my only solution? Don't you find it ridiculous that i have to pay 3x more for 1 movie than what an american pays for a full month of unlimited netflix? Well for starters, we can thank the CRTC for blocking any content digitally to canada, no good netflix, pandora, we cant even watch re-runs online of shows on NBC, ABC, FOX or any other major network. If you can understand that, then take the carrot out of your asshole and understand that some poeple do it because they dont have any other option.

Pirating is your only solution, really? How bout you get a better job so you can pay for your luxury. How bout you move to America if that offers the entertainment options that you WANT (not need).

Your other option is to not watch movies. Guess what happens if everyone who can't afford a movie stops watching them? The prices come down.

The idea that people feel that it's an inalienable right to be entertained is completely foreign to me. Yet another entitlement mindset that will be the downfall of human civilization. We advance as a species when we work towards the things we want, not expect to have the things we want simply because we exist.

Don't side track please. Why are you comparing movies stuff to android apps? How would you like it if your neighbor stole stuff from your home cos he is worries of spending gas to get stuff from store. Pirating is no different from stealing. Two options in life - slog your ass and work for what you want, or stay put with what you have.

On a side note, we too pay $8-12 per movie per person plus snacks plus gas, and this more than what it is to pay for a full month netflix.

Glad to entertain! :) Actually, I'd like to make a correction: my remark was more about the argument than ensued, rather than about the topic you started (brought up). Your question was very specific, and not about piracy being good or bad in general, or whatever. It was just amusing how people reacted to it.

The best things in life are free......

In my personal opinion, most people who make apps are out there to get rich or at least get a few hundred bucks easily. What happened to doing things for the greater good?

How many times have you bought a **** game brand new for 60 dollars? How many times have you seen a **** movie in theaters or bought on DvD? I have bought some apps before and then I bought a few **** ones. When you feel like you wasted money on something **** it automatically makes you bitter.

Some of the best software is available for free: your favorite web browser, your choice of music playing software, video viewing software..... Even some good computer games are available for free.... And those that aren't free are not invading your permissions to view your phonebook details or read your text messages. They are provided with usually less invasive ads than most free versions of apps that are nowhere near as obnoxious in comparison to PC ads.

If you wanted to release an app that was really great, you would work on it hard and ask for donations. People -would- give them to you. Most of us can and some of us can't.

I am now going to compare a medical feat to paid apps.

The man who invented the polio vaccine did it to help people, he could have patented it but he gave it to the public for free. One of the greatest things in history was given for free to everyone. Want to make a great app? Give it away for free. Because your audience will be so huge that if it was really great then you would have no problem being picked up by a major developing studio.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] zmore:
That's just wrong, and not a matter of opinion, because the facts show that there are currently over 3 times as many FREE apps than PAID apps in the Google Play market. Granted, many of the free apps ALSO have paid versions or in-app purchases, but the big majority are still free for the sake of being free.

(Of my personal apps: 2 free; 1 paid, and I made the paid version mainly to try and make the $50 google developer fee back, which it did)

i have almost totally made the jump to linux. Two applications 'keep' me from making it: Adobe photoshop and illustrator. They're seamless, first class, and though gimp is a superior ps replacement, nothing comes close to illustrator. By a long shot. I cant afford it. Should that incentivize me to take any job i can to afford it? Am i a criminal for not being able to afford a $350 student edition? Once i'm able, of course i'd buy it.

Android provides an excellent platform, because what ps touch and sketchbook pro are affordable alternatives, so maybe i'm getting off topic talking about file-sharing desktop commercial software to android apps that range $2-20 usd. The piratebay often changes their homepage title image to the promo bay... In that light, file-sharing definitely made me an adobe devotee, and i can truly say the only reason i dual boot from linux to win/osx is for adobe illustrator its the richest vector image software i the world, and artists will be exploring the properties it allows in visual representation for the rest of the century. If any applications are worthy of paying for, illustrator is surely one of them.

Apple, microsoft, oracle and others have systematically and unrelentlessly tried to can gnu/linux/android, and they're not giving up anytime soon. May i recommend revolution os on youtube, of which oh so many people are miserably unaware...

If i could afford the hardware that inspired me to invest in digital art 10 years ago, i can't imaginewhere i'd be. (22" cintiq, and the hardware to support it=$5000usd?) the samsung galaxy note 10.1 is an excellent compromise. For 1/10 the cost in hardware, and little more that 1% of the software costs, android, on a heavy hitting hardware stack, (even the screen's not hd or samoled, i can draw(monotone) on it at full brightness in broad daylight, and paint(color) a broad daylight scene from the shade.)

i use fdroid.

I like supporting open source by using it. Duck duck go, diaspora, konqueror, vlc.if people would just take the extra step and realise you can do way more with your hardware than the proprietary market wants you to know. They spend billions in marketing, litigation and lobbying to keep opensource out of the market. Google has changed that with linux.
