I can appreciate it for what its worth. Its pretty locked, not comparable with a lot, and generally slow. But I can pirate wrestling events to my big screen, watch stuff with TV portal, and use my better sound system for my music. I can do all this without, but I'd be busying a device I need. Like my phone or tablet. Good for cord cutting.

Hi, I have a Vodafone galaxy s3, I have unlocked using a unlock code, can I flash UK firmware to remove the Vodafone branding ?

thanks
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JJEgan:
Yes you can .

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dean-xXx:
Yes you can. Download the latest ROM from sammobile for UK.

Don't forget to factory reset and clear cache/dalvik cache before and after flashing the ROM, otherwise you will have fresh ROM with those stupid icons from Vodafone.

CF-Root is the root for "rooting beginners" and those who want to keep as close to stock as possible. CF-Root is meant to be used in combination with stock firmwares, and be the quickest and easiest way for your first root.

Donate

CF-Root has been available for many devices and has clocked over 9.5 million downloads. This is not even counting custom ROMs that already include it. Don't be a leech, buy me a beer (and use the "Thanks" button!). Imagine if every CF-Root user has donated me $1...

What's installed

- SuperSU binary and APK

- Nothing else, that's it.

Installation and usage

- Download the ZIP file (see post below for link)

- Extract the ZIP file

- Boot your device in bootloader/fastboot mode. Usually this can be done by turning your device off, then holding VolUp+VolDown+Power to turn it on.

- Connect your device to your computer using USB

- Windows:

--- Run root-windows.bat

- Linux

--- chmod +x root-linux.sh

--- Run root-linux.sh

- Mac OS X

--- chmod +x root-mac.sh

--- Run root-mac.sh

- Follow the on-screen instructions - watch both the computer and the device !

Note that if your device had not been unlocked before, this procedure will wipe all your data !

Are you having fastboot driver issues? You can find fastboot drivers in many places, but the easiest way is probably just installing the Android SDK.

Did you see the red Android logo during rooting, but SuperSU does not appear? This may sometimes occur due to left-over files and settings, however, you can usually install SuperSU from Google Play at this stage and it'll just work.

Not included - adbd Insecure

As this CF-Root does not include a custom kernel, adb shell does not have root access by default (you can still get it by typing su inside the shell), nor is adb remount supported, nor will adb push and adb pull work on system files. adbd Insecure can be used to remedy this situation. (No idea what this is about ? Don't worry about it !)

Sorry for the most probably horrendously obvious question, but do I need to unlock the bootloader to perform root with this tool? All other tools mention it specifically, but I can't see anything here saying that. I've got the 3g nexus 7 and just want to root it as quickly and simply as possible, remaining as close to the stock rom as possible. Any help would be great, thanks!
[Nexus 7 Original Development] cammel:
@Chanfire, I'm new on this device, I just bought my nexus 7 32gb wifi only and I don't really like the idea of rooting it using those toolkits around here... I never like them. I also has an international galaxy s3 which I rooted using cf-auto-root and update it using mobile Odin pro.

The thing is that I don't really understand if I should install the android sdk first on my pc (running windows 8) to use this method for rooting my n7. I want to keep it stock but rooted, just like my s3.

My n7 has been automatically updated to 4.2.1 so I only need to root it, so please I need to know if I need to unlock my bootloader first or if I only need to connect it to the pc and run the .bat file from this post and that's it.

Please help me here!

Thanks a lot in advance for all your help!

Use WugFresh's toolkit. I was as hesitant as you but it was as easy as anything. Unless you know the coding and all of that I really wouldn't bother trying to do it yourself, the SDK is just to get the drivers so that you can use fastboot, then you need to unlock the bootloader and then you can root it, for the sake of all of that you can do it in 15 minutes with WugFresh's toolkit and be sure you haven't buggered it.

hello to the forum, chain fire, can you develop a cf auto root for the Samsung sgh i927. It is running UCLG9 as the rom for the phone it is based off of Ics 4.04 leak wwhich has root in it but i dont know how to get the root privilage enable to run custom romms from cM or AOKP. So if it is possible if you could please develop a cf auto root rom for the phone. the phone is based off s2 but it has a slide out qwerty keyboard and that is why it is called the Samsung Sghi927 or captivate glide . so if this could be done a lot of users of the phone who are on ICs would truely appreciate it.

Yes, it does. Driver install was a bit of a pain in the ass but there is a step by step .jpg walkthrough. Just follow it exactly and it should work fine like it did with me on a windows 8 laptop. It's definitely the way to go imo.

I've also used chainfires roots in the past for my GT-I9000 which always worked perfectly for me. So props to Chainfire too, your work has always been appreciated. :)

Hello,

I have already rooted my Nexus 7 using this method, but I did OTA update and lost root access. I knew I had to take a precaution (rootkeeper) but I forgot. I already have SuperSU 1.04 in my Nexus 7. Is there a way to regain root access without erasing everything? I do not want custom recovery of course, which was why I used this method to begin with.

Thank you very much.

Thanks for your replies.

Hello guys,

Thanks for your replies:). I realised that I need to change the front cover of my phone. I can find one from ebay but the problem is that I don't know how to do that. I heard that it is dangerous to damage your phone. Can somebody suggest a site where I can get more information about that? Thanks in advance.
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] dheeraj (dhlalit11):
any mobile accessories shop owner will replace it
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] fotis013:
It costs too much!

Well I went to the samsung service and he needs 50 euros:(! It's too expensive can you suggest any other idea?
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] yackovsky:
i'm sure that google will help you with finding needed info :)
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] dheeraj (dhlalit11):
according to Indian price it should only cost 2-4 euros
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] fotis013:
I think I'm going to fix it by another way.

I asked another service about it and he needs 35 euros. Well it's still expensive and I am afraid I will not fix it. If you guys can tell me another idea otherwise I'll give it up:(.

I really hate those scratches, they are so annoying.
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] yackovsky:
just use some whitening toothpaste and microfibre cloth, rub small amount of toothpaste on the scratch in circular motion. it will take a lot of time, but i assure you that it will work. and it have to be microfibre.
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] fotis013:
Hm I'll try that but will this do any damage on my phone's screen?
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] fotis013:
It didn't work.

I tried to remove the scratches with toothpaste but it didn't work.
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] fotis013:
I am gonna do that by myself.

I am gonna risk it and change the front cover of my phone by myself. I've seen videos on youtube on how to do it so I think if I follow carefully the instructions on how to do it I'll succeed.

Thanks for your help guys!

Hey buddy, if you are still getting a force close on your security settings heres the fix:

you need root, and terminal emulator. open terminal emulater and type these lines without the quotes:

type "su" and give permissions

type "mount -o rw,remount /system" enter

type "cd /vendor/firmware/keymaster" enter

type "chmod 0644 *" enter

done.

With phone plugged in on bootloader mode, be sure it shows on Device Manager (something like android booloader interface), then check "update drivers" in order to install bootloader drivers. You can use Nexuls Toolkit to install drivers properly, and then use this tool.

If it doesn't show at all when plugged in to pc on bootloader mode, then I can't help you.

Slightly nervous old man somewhat tech sort of in the past

Patience I'm thinking aloud so if some of you see me write something ignorant or stupid you can correct it. My technical level in Android Linux is I Can Follow Instructions. Your method is worth ten dollars to me but I can only afford five at the moment. Take an iou for the rest, please.

I want to root my Google Nexus 4 with Jelly Bean 4.2.2, Build JDQ39 and then download some of the apps for root previously purchased on Play. I had side loaded an ad blocker that works on non root but can't selectively block some allow the others. I haven't found a Google app that I want to remove, besides on Jelly Bean you can disable. I have disabled a few I dont use, example Google Play Music. Previous phone I streamed uploaded music to phone. I dont do that now. I effectively have a TB of storage for my Nexus 4. I carry a portable 1 TB drive, fits in a shirt pocket, which makes its own WiFi network I use a app of the drive manufacturer. I dont know if permitted to say manufacturer. With root I can adjust the stream more.

This is what I have downloaded so far, CF-Auto-Root-mako-occam-nexus4 zip file, adt-bundle-windows-x86-20130522 zip file, and adbd-Insecure-v1.30 apk file. Do I have all I need?

I have Samsung drivers from previous phone, do I need to uninstall them? Do I need to uninstall the antivirus on my Nexus 4 phone, on my desktop computer, XP Pro SP3. I have an antivirus that installs in 7 or 8 seconds so no hassle..

I apologize for long winded. I go to donate half what I should. Donated 5 EUR, about 6 and change I guess. My zip code AL 35810-1354.

If I am not incorrect I charge my phone completely, install the contents of zip files on my computer. Desk top okay for the CF Auto-Root? Install the adt bundle to programs? and the adbd insecure to rooted phone?

This process will unlock my boot? Should I relock it after obtain root or does it stay unlocked?

What have I missed or misunderstood?
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] 22sl22:
Hi,

1) The process of rooting the Nexus 4 is quite simple if you follow this guide which is easy to use: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2266654

2) As for your apps, if you have a titanium backup of all of your apps then just copy it over to your nexus 4 and restore (Just make sure there are no system app backed up or things will get messy)

3) Once you've unlocked your bootloader then you done have to do it again (Unless you want to return your device in factory condition)

If I haven't explained anything clearly enough don't be afraid to ask.

---------- Post added at 10:01 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:59 PM ----------

I have a quick question. How do I use this? Is it a flashable zip? Do I apply it through an app? I guess I am just a little confused by the OP. I have the official 4.3 non rooted with TWRP recovery. Honsetly I am just trying to root it so I can flash my Nandroid backup to 4.2.2 through TWRP. Would this work for that? :confused:

So I flashed chainfire Supersu and successfully gained root. Booted back into TWRP and tried to restore a Nandroid backup and still a no go. Any thoughts on this. Maybe I just have a defective backup file. :banghead:
