Like previous methods, there's always a risk. But this method. In OP, uses an exploit that's been talked about alot lately in tech news. It uses an exploit in our Exynos4 chipset/kernel to root device. While this roots our de ice very easily, it allows the possibility of our devices being open to attack by other malware. For ex. You download an app not in Google play or anywhere really. It might have a hidden permission/instruction to send all of your data off to somewhere else. Also basically allowing someone else root access to your device to do as they please. With whatever agenda they have.

I just read this method has been updated to attempt to block exploit. But its not 100% based on what the RD just said. So proceed with caution. Don't go downloading any and every app. Especially pirated ones. Those most susceptible. To having malware in them.

I'm tempted to try but I can wait. I have no need to root. My device been working so well out the box. Plus I'm waiting on JB OTA update and don't want anything to possibly to possibly cause it to fail.

Follow the links in this thread and read up on exploit. Plus there's articles in various popular android/tech sites.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] smrsxn:
there is very less risk in rooting with this method compared to other 20 click steps to root.

Even if u choose not to root, the exynos exploit remains and that is of concern irrespective of the fact you rooted or not.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] demandarin:
True..good point.

Samsung needs to patch this asap. They might as well include it with JB update and release it before the week is out ;)
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] asdfuogh:
Easiest root ever.. And the Asus had a one-step root using linux too.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] pjfriend:
Think people are getting themselves in knots a little.

Using this method to root does NOT open up the vulnerability. It only uses it to root and also attempts to patch it. The vulnerability is there whether you root or not.

The warnings regarding installing potentially unfriendly apps applies to everyone.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] jaydubbbbs:
Does this method trip the counter? And does it changes the system status and ability to receive ota updates?
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] schnurrbidurr:
I don't know how to you check the counter, but on my N8010 it didn't change the status. But after I installed a couple of root apps it did. I uninstalled those again (Adfree was one of them) I'm back to official status. I re- installed it and I'm still on "official". Point is, apparently the status could be reversed. Fyi, I did not patch the exploit.

Not sure about OTA, either. I think as long as status is official it should still receive them.Hope this helps. If you read the "official"thread here,you should find all your answers.

Can anyone tell me which Custom ROM I can apply to an rooted TF700 running ICS that will upgrade it to Jellybean and retain root?

Thanks!
[Asus Transformer TF700] dknotty:
No answers?
[Asus Transformer TF700] _that:
You need to upgrade to stock JB before to get the JB bootloader. And when installing a custom ROM you cannot retain root - either the ROM is pre-rooted, or you have to install a root app via recovery.
[Asus Transformer TF700] buhohitr:
No custom rom will upgrade your device to JB, you need to flash Asus stock JB first, or just flash JB boot loader to bring you from ICS to JB. I recommend to flash full Asus JB stock, then after that you can flash custom rom.

Thanks for the replies.

The problem I am having is when I flash the full Asus JB stock, I lose root. How do I upgrade to JB and keep root?

Good evening,

Kind of a noob in the forum so in advance if posting on the wrong place.

Today my OTA on my Lockedbootloader Arc S LT18i with JellySandwich 8.2 warned me that I had an update. I updated but then reading the forum of the rom I saw there was previous updates. So my question is:

Do I have to update one by one - 8.2 -> 8.3 -> 8.4 -> 8.5 or just do 8.2 -> 8.5?

Many thanks

Would there ever happen to be a way to tweak the screen color (gains and offsets of RGB like a TV) on phones? Mind you that I really REALLY do appreciate that Samsung gives us the ability to choose color tones (set to Movie now but still a little too blue for my taste), but I tend to be a total pretentious douchebag when it comes to color quality and was wondering if there ever would be a way to tweak it.

My phones having charging problems so I need to take it into the store and most likely ship it off to samsung, I already removed my root and then checked to make sure it's gone, But I still have a Rom on it called Blazer and I'm having a hard time trying to find a stock ics rom and to erase all data involving rooting or roms so my warranty won't be void. Some help would be greatly appreciated.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] krayndr:
First of all, get root back and use an app called Triangle Away to reset flash counter.

Link to Triangle Away is here

Secondly, boot into recovery and do a factory reset/wipe data... also you should wipe cache and internal SD in case you have folder there that refer to root, such as clockwork mod.

Thirdly, you need a stock ics rom which you can get from here.

Choose the stock firmware of your country.

Instructions for flashing stock firmware is in the stock firmware thread.

and you're restored to stock.

Just download the firmware direct from Google and flash it using fastboot. Easiest and most reliable method, though you do need an unlocked bootloader.

[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nodixe:
I'm not sure but i think if you want to take ota it might need stock recovery to install and to update manually from custom recovery I think you need the BIG update from 4.1.2 JO??? to 4.2 JO40C as the update from JO40C to 4.2.1 JOP40D is incremental if I'm not mistaken....also you may need to update clockwork mod
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Visa Declined:
Download the update to your device(it's hosted on these boards) reboot your machine into recovery, and install from zip. It's the way many of us update our devices. There was no need to unroot your device. Your OTA failed to install because of the custom recovery you're using.

Follow the above link. It walks you through downloading a factory image from google and using fastboot to install it, regardless of what you may have done to your device. Also, if you are doing this, you can go ahead and use the latest image if you want, which puts you at 4.2.

Can someone answer what may be wrong. I have set tasker to turn WiFi on w screen on and off w screen off. It works in the the way that when I turn on the screen and unlock WiFi gets enabled. It also shuts off when I shut the screen off. The problem I'm having is it will disconnect while browsing the internet or any app or such that needs a connection.

I have it set as display state on and WiFi on... then display off and WiFi off. Is this not the right inputs?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jeff5347:
OK so I thought I had it figured out. I set display state on = WiFi on and display state off= WiFi off. It was working just how I wanted. Then I started noticing when I turned the screen on WiFi was running and BBS confirmed out of the 5 hrs on batt WiFi was running for 4 hrs. Deleted the schedules and redid them and still not working. It was but now its not. What am I doing wrong?
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] swefos:
Hello!

Upgraded my ZTE Blade to a Xperia V. I made a major leap in technology :). But the development front seems to be at a stand still. Maybe the phone is to new or to unpopular. Anyhow I guess that in time we will get more custom ROM's to our phone. But CWM was a easy way to install new roms. I used it on my ZTE. Anyhow, is it possible to use this in our phones? And the tutorial for rooting the device is too cluttered ( Thinking about this thread ) for inexperienced users. How do I even come in to service mode to be able to upload my new rom/kernel?

Thank you in advance!

Best regards,

First its to new and second we in Sweden are one of few countries where V has been released so far. Most countries wont get V until next year.

Ah that makes sense. So we will have to wait a while (months maybe a year) until any development will a cure. I thought they where pretty much alike (T,TL,V) so I could use their roms but that seems to be wrong, I guess that they don't have LTE support.

I can't post in the developers forum because of too few posts. But have anybody here tried the CyanogenMod that's posted there?
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] gregbradley:
hmmmm, you need a lot more reading before you can start posting.

If you mean my thread is to cluttered, it is not, there is a lot of information to take in and therefore done time is needed to read it.

Secondly, after a bit of reading you will learn there is no built in recovery in Sony phones, you have to instal it yourself.

Thirdly, read the threads about rooting, and unlocking, all the information is already out there

Before I flashed anything on my ohne I spent several days reading up on things, and since you are new to sony I recommend the all in one thread. Follow my signature ink to find it.

Read it, try to understad it, then ask questions in that thread on what things mean.

A few days reading to understand things wont stop you being able to customise your phone the way you want it, but it maystop you bricking it.
