how can i unlock G2 ?? if it free how ? ad if not , what is the cheapest and TRUSTED way by the web ? thnks all

using stock kernal, and use gfree

man what is gfree and how 2 use it ?

look in dev section, there is guides on how to use gfree and root, best is to look at xda vision wiki

No one here is going to hold your hand through it. You have to search and learn a little. Then you will notice a lot more help

The term "unlocked" is confusing. Do you mean rooted or SIM unlocked?
Either way, it can be done for free. Link has instructions for rooting. If you want SIM unlocked, you need to root AND be Subsidy Unlocked. This method is considered the safest.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/index.php?title=HTC_Vision#Rooting_the_Vision_.28G2.2FDZ.29_and_DHD

Look up rooting g2 no abd required. If you have a new one. You will have to downgrade after u get s-off but no root and then do the same process again. Holding hands is good.

You're going to need to type more than a couple words if you want real help. Did you try any root methods? If so, which one, and where are you stuck. You haven't told us enough to allow us to help you at all.
I've posted the instructions for rooting and getting subsidy unlock in my previous response.

lsn man , i dont do anything cuz am a beginner , i cant understand anything of the wiki says !

Why are so many people unwilling to learn anything any more?

well seems like you don't want to do it yourself sooo...
go on craigslist and pay someone to root it for you -_-

I wonder if the guy can explain why he wants it rooted.

if you dont try, then you wont learn. Read the link and if you have any specific questions then ask.
the wiki is as "rooting for idiots" as it gets. if you can't follow the steps one by one, then pay someone to root it for you.

This is a sticky from here. Follow the directions to the letter. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=928160 It's not that hard. Just follow the DIRECTIONS. Failure to follow the directions will result in a high dollar paper weight. If you brick your phone it was by your own doing. Just know the outcome if you mess up.

Don't pay attention to all these people telling you that you'll "learn" if you really want it done. We were all new at some point, and I never have seen the usefulness in comments like that. Anyway, there are lots of us out there willing to help, post up exactly what you don't understand and I'll do my best to help you out. However, whatever you do DO NOT attempt perm rooting with visionary, your phone would most likely turn into a really pretty paperweight

i disagree with you. I have been here at xda for a long time and I relied first on reading instructions that have been posted a long time ago and when I had questions I specifically ask about the part I didn't understand not shoot first and ask later.
Here on xda since 2008. If he honestly wants real help then he has to make an effort to learn not just look at the wiki and just throw a general help cry. The wiki has the instructions step by step. If you have specific questions about a step or two, then ask that, not "I'M NOT A PRO, HELP PLS"

Speaking of root I can't have a pc so I can't downgrade to stock ota don't really want to either. I'm guessing only way to root is still going to need me to downgrade.

well, based on my understanding (I might be wrong) but I believe it is possible to downgrade from your phone via sd. Again, I might be wrong, but if that is possible then you might be able to achieve root once you do the downgrade. Otherwise, maybe you can borrow a friend's PC to do the downgrade.
Good luck

This should explain how to root.

[Q] Can't root gf's incredible

I have attempted to root my girlfriend's incredible using the method in the stickies of the development section here. everything seems to go well until i get to running root. I get a "Is your firmware too new error?" I have read around the internet on it and have really only found to do a factory reset before running unrevoked3. I have done this and still get the same "Is your firmware too new?" error. I really tried to avoid having to post about this but I have been trying for 2 straight days now and am beyond frustrated. If anyone could help please and thank you. I have a fascinate running pool party 1.6 and glitch v12 kernel so I am no stranger to rooting/flashing but I just can't seem to figure this one out. The main reason I am doing this is because she can get sms but not recieve sms and verizon says they cant fix it because her warranty is up so they are making her buy a new phone but I would like to see if getting cm7.1 stable up and running on her phone remedies the issue. Again please and thanks for all the help everyone! How can i remedy this issue? Are there alternate methods to rooting this phone?
[solved] figured out theres no way to root the incredible on gb. how can i go back to froyo?

No thanks necessary bud, scotty1223 is the one who brought this to everyone's attention. I'm just glad it works for those who need it.

about rooting. please help!

hi all I'm trying to root my phone but there is so many different ways to tour. I would like the simplest way to root but I want it to do everything that all rooting software would do. I've come across one click options and would like to do those since I don't have to use my computer. Please help! Thanks

you are so going to get bashed in here for asking that question. The expectation is that everybody reads everything they can and then if they are hung up on something they can post a question. I am a relative noob although I have lurked on this site for a few years. I don't bash anybody though.
I understand your frustration.
I simply flashed a single .tar file to my phone while my phone was in download mode. I felt it was very simple using windows on my Mac. There is the very simple Exynos exploit file somewhere here where you download it and basically install it. I thought that this Exynos installation did something to the camera app.
Hopefully, somebody here will help you determine what is best for you. I really haven't tried many methods of root. I like to stick with one I am familiar with since a lot things might go wrong if not done right.
I am not sure what you mean by having the root method do everything that all rooting software would do. When you root you are just gaining access to portions of your phones files that are locked when you buy it. If you want more 'stuff' then you would flash a custom rom after rooting

Thanks for not bashing me. I'm def a noob and I'm new to the android community. I moved from an iPhone to galaxy n2 so I'm learning as I go. Thanks for your help!

Check out Chainfire's method for rooting. It's very simple, there is even a video instruction going step by step. It took me 5 minutes and I came from an Iphone. Head on over to the Original android development subforum, you'll see it there. Good luck!

Google "exynos abuse" if you have not already taken the ota update.

I used the exynos abuse because I didn't need to use my computer to do it and it worked fine. But once I did the latest OTA update from AT&T, I lost root. So I did the Chainfire method. (See http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1980644 )
t's really easy and took about 5 min.

You might find a few helpful things on the page I made here.. Samsung Galaxy Note 2 ROMs & Community Links

First, take a breath...

Just got my Note 2 about 3 weeks ago and haven't ventured into rooting it yet, BUT I did research here on XDA about rooting before doing it to my Galaxy S2 (AT&T) and the one thing I want to mention is to take your time are read to confirm whether or not the procedures you're looking at are for the Note 2 AND for the variant you have. Using the wrong process (rooting, kerneling, installing custom rom) can cause all sorts of problems, so don't be impatient if you don't know what you're doing. And by all means DO A COMPLETE BACKUP before you do any rooting.
That said, when I did root my S2, it was a very easy process...took all of about 15 minutes to backup, root, install custom rom, etc.
Good luck...and let us know how you do!

New to Anything samsung

Hi, I'm getting a galaxy s3 tomorrow. I was just wondering if someone would give me a run down of anything I should know. My last phone was an inspire 4g. I don't know what a modem is. I was wondering what people are talking about "tripped flash counter" is it important? What is it? Any thing else like that, it would be greatly appreciated

Welcome to the the dark side!!! Well the tripped flash counter is a Samsung can check to see how many times your flashed a non Samsung kernel on the phone using Odin or heimdall. Its important to have it at 0 if your sending your phone back to Samsung for repairs or if your exchanging for a new one with att.you can look up chainfire on xda. He has a app call triangle away which is can reset the flash counter.if you find his thread on xda he explains the flash counter a lot better. The only other important things I believe you should know is you can flash some T-Mobile galaxy s3 roms (search the thread to make sure tho), as you may know every phone is different so some kernels may work for you others may not and the root method is different from HTCs so read the stickes and theards or find a update to date video on how to root. I hope you enjoy this beast of a phone!!! Once again welcome

Thanks alot! I have one more question. The "casual" root method..will that install cwm or twrp or 4ext? And lind of recovery? Or dobi need to do that separately? I'm looking for the easiest way to root.

Since you'll be getting the att model look here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2042775 ape made an excellent tutorial for beginners when it comes to rooting the s3. it has pictures and he even package a root kit follow the instructions and you should be fine. Before trying make sure you have a good understanding of it first. I believe it even helps you install cwm. Once your Rooted if you want twrp just download its either goo. Im or too manager I don't remember from the android market and install twrp from there. Once again if you run into a problem search the thread first because more then likely someone had that same problem or you can message me and I will try my best to help you and guide you through it. Like i said before there are turns of tuts ane vids out there to help you

The best thing you could do right now is read up and understand these different processes and procedures. There are many who don't and find themselves on this forum with broken, sometimes unfixable phones.
Look over the link in my signature. It can guide you from start to finish and ensure that you cover all your bases as safely and smoothly as possible.

Unlike your HTC you have to try really hard to brick a Samsung phone...other than that make backups of your EFS, IMEI, and keep a nandroid of rooted stock ROM on hand and you are good to go. Like more Galaxy S phones its fairly fool proof and if something happens you can get out of it. Don't flash anything for the international version. I prefer TWRP for recovery because its user interface is a lot better but to each there own.

Samsung rep answers

Hi guys today I called samsung to complain about my phone and to ask a couple of questions and 1 of the questions I asked was, if it was possible to revert my phone back to jelly bean becuase a lot of features were removed by the kit kat update. And he said that in order for that to be accomplished I needed to root the phone and after, yes it is possible to reverted it or downgrade it.
So does anyone here knows about this? Does anyone knows how to dkwngrade safely to JB? Cause the rep sounded too convincing for me like it was something really easy and doable once rooted.
Does anykne knows of any guides or stepby step for this procedure?
Thanks in advanced

Root it.
Flash a recovery.
Then flash whatever Jelly Bean ROM you want.
Do a search. There are 900 guides for this stuff around here.
You will trip a KNOX security features on your phone when you do this. This MAY void your warranty. There is not currently a way to undo that part.

Thanks ill keep searching
