by region do you mean r800 i/x/at?
r800i is europe
if so go to settings/about phone and look at model number

Region, meaning if its from Europe or from somewhere. What I have though is R800i. Does that tell u something? Thanks..

[q] super noob wants to root his phone

HI THERE,
i AM SUPER NOOB. DO NOT USE ANY TERM WITHOUT EXPLAINING PLEASE.
i have the rogers play with 2.3.3. i did root it before using that app that would root your phon with just installing it. now after i updated to 2.3.3. that didnt work.
im wondering if now there is a new version of it?! if not please tell me what is the easiest wy to root the phone. and if u are going to help me please speak noob language. dont just say stuff cuz u assume i know it. im new to all this. never flashed any phone or anything like that. lol
thanks a lot. i need this cuz im getting low space msg and i have lotf or rogers crap on my phone that i want to get rid of. thank youuuuuuuu
You are so noob that you did not read the rules posted in this section. You are supposed to ask all questions in the general area.
You need to be saved from yourself so im not answering you question until you read until your eyes bleed.
Some proper English would help. If you don't know what your doing, and need step by step instructions, you shouldn't be rooting your Play anyway.

Go somewhere else.
Go: Move from a place to another one.
Somewhere: used when there will not be much precision about the location you're being sent to.
Else: in this case, it implies that going back to your starting point (that is, this forum) is undesirable, and that your destination should be different from your starting point.

New Root Method?

WHAT TEH HELL IS HAPPENING HERE?! Two firmware's have been released 4.0.2.A.0.62 & 4.0.2.A.0.69, WHY THE HELL HAS NO ONE GOT OFF THEIR LAZY A***'S AND TRIED TO FIND A METHOD?
I hope the Dev's read this & try to do something ^_^
I found this, could someone do this for the play's?????

Sounding like that, you may be hard-pressed to find anyone who will.
Posted from something awesome
That's a very rude way to ask for something.. good luck finding someone to help you!

Um...... 2 things.
1. you could ask nicely "if" work is being done to gain root to these two firmwares
2. its quite possible that devs are working on it but have yet to find a way to gain root access........
And the moral of this write up.......... politeness goes a long way..... asking like an a$$hole gets the opportunity doors slammed in your face.... seriously if you are not happy about "WHY THE HELL HAS NO ONE GOT OFF THEIR LAZY A***'S AND TRIED TO FIND A METHOD, then how about YOU find out how to do these things so YOU can do it your self.
There is a method that's the funny thing, I'm not saying anymore.

The real answhere is: NO ONE CARES A FU*K ABOUT LOCKED BOOTLOADER. Just unlock. Than you flash Doomkernel and you have root. Always on newest Firmware.
Locked Bootloader sucks in many ways.

Your age is not an excuse. Stop hiding from your dumbass mistakes. I had more sense and was more polite than you when I was 12. You used a similar defence when accusing me of copying your status bar. Stupidity is not limited to age and ill mannered logic definitely is NOT. There's also a roundabout method of rooting the .62 firmware(.69 is german only according to xperia blog) which if you cared to research would've found.

This should be moved to Q&A section.
If your bootloader is unlocked and your flashing the recommended kernal etc then you shouldn't have a problem
Sent from my R800i
that is the problem, the bootloader will not unlock. i did the step by step and came up with the same problem cwm (x-parts) is not working.
if you alredy know the problem why keep trying. it the bootloader do not unlock it do not unlock. nothing you can do about it. other then installing a rom that dose not require unlocked bootloader.
here's another problem, i can't seem to root it again after i did the update.
What phone you got? R800x or R800i?
r800at

Well, his username doesn't help the allegations of him being a paedophile. Why can't you unlock your bootloader? Can't you pay for someone to do it for you? Alejandrissimo?

why do that when i got the hone for 30 bucks. and no i am not a paedophile, if i was i'd be locked up for the rest of my life like my girlfriend's ex husban. think i will keep myself free of that thank you very much.
Sorry if I offended you, was just joking, what do you mean by "hone"?
Edit: understand now. Do you know if your bootloader can be unlocked or not?
Sent from my R800i using xda app-developers app
from what i know it can be unlocked if i can get it rooted and cwm working on this current build.
I have an R800i so i don't really know how it works for the R800at. For the R800i, you type in the following in the dialer, " *#*#7378423#*#*". I know this doesn't really help you, but perhaps there is a similar step for the R800at that tells you whether or not your bootloader can be unlocked?
This may help but like i said, i don't own an R800at and i am in fact, quite a noob myself:

There was a guy a couple weeks ago trying to do the same thing but with Russian.
Dont know if he ever found a solution. Maybe search for that thread and pm him to see if he knows what to do?
Sorry i dont have any better advice for you on this one.

thanks for answer...

I honestly have no idea on that. Youll have to check the roms in development section to see what languages are supported for each one.
Ive never had to deal with different languages on any device. Thats why i mentioned checking for that other thread. Figured if i cant help you myself maybe i can point you towards someone who can. Always a chance someone else will jump in with what you need too.
Sorry again man. Good luck with it though!
But yes, if you root you can change roms all you like
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda app-developers app
I guess you didnt understand my question.
You cannot run whole ROM (phone) on ur language. It needs alot of work for devs and samsung is not going to do that.
If you want to read content on apps on your language , you can do that. I have done that in my language.
You need to change fonts on your system.

Dont be too lazy to look into 2-3 threads. You cant find all in one thread.
Ok here is answer u need.
International version is OCTA core and our US verion is quad core. ( in simple words 8 and 4 )
1) tmobile version is bootloader unlocked . Att is not. There is no limitation after u unlock once. You can do whatever u want.
2) yes
3) never tried that but u can buy flip cover that comes with back cover.
4) you will be screwed. Dont do that. Thats why we have separate forums.

Yup you can do that if you know how to change files between att and tmobile roms. Before flashing though.
Some devs port each others roms too.
But I dony recommend that.
