Rooting-For new members here of XDA Galaxy Y Sub-Forums, Rooting is the Basic Mod we do on our Galaxy Y,Since we bought our Galaxy Y at Samsung stores so it comes with limitations to prevent messing up with your System-level files so the Root method is the answer so you will be the true master of your Galaxy Y.
Advantages &Disadvantages of Rooting
Advantages
-You're already the true master of your Galaxy Y.
-You can now use some Root apps from Play Store.
-You can modify now your Galaxy Y like Custom ROM's,Custom Boot Animations etc. that requires ROOT.
Disadvantages
-Your phone's warranty is already voided,It means that if you messed with your System files ,Then the phone manufacturer will reject your phone as it is rooted already,However you can UnRoot your phone if you have problems regarding the buttons etc.
-You can't use some of their Services that comes with your phone.
Just Google "How to Root Galaxy Y" then follow the directions so you can obtain now root access.

use search button and you will get information faster than waiting someone to answer. don't be lazy.

Ty for answer Sean De Jesus.. I heard for temporary root.. Is it exist? If I root phone, should I install custom rom or can only root? Would I got all settings like custom rom? What if something goes wrong? If they wont turn off or something..? I need more info..

Temporary Root will root your device but once you restarted or turned off your phone,Its gone.Its a good step for new phones to test if root is working fine on that device.
It depends on your mood or your knowledge about modding your Galaxy Y,If sonething goes wrong with your Custom ROM then flash back to your Stock ROM or if you have a backup called "Nandroid backup" you can restore it using Skin's CWM.

rooting is just made in order for you to be able to have admin privileges on your phone so that you can by-pass system restrictions
no need to worry, you can always unroot your phone
using the unroot.zip
ps: it's just piled down due to post like this, use the search button to find it

Pls search before posting..

[Q] I want to root my DHD, can you guys help!?

Hey guys, I am a new Android user, and I need help to root my phone. I have read many threads about rooting DHD, but I am not really sure if I am certain to do it by myself. I also updated my software, it is 1.83.415.4
I am seeking help from anyone that can go through Rooting steps with me. So if you happen to have free time to help me hook up my phone, I would really be glad.
I really wanna root my device, please guys help me.
I would like to add to this question,
I sort of gathered on how to root I first download and install visionary,then temp root and then perm root and then flash a new ROM is this correct?
Another thing I plan to use Cyanogen 7 rc1,would I use all my contacts if I flash a new rom?
I've temp rooted mine but that's as far as I've got. I want to use a different ROM but don't fancy having the wolds most expensive paperweight.

Use MyBackup to backup / restore your contacts, although provided google backup is enabled it should take care of them

As long as you carefully follow the instructions, you are very unlikely to end up with a bricked device, flashing radios is the most likely stage to go wrong.
Can i recommend the CyanogenMod Wiki's root and flashing instructions

ignore if u did it.
its easy to get ur answer if u just google it,cos many sites are offering that rooting info/stuff.
Check here on how to root your phone: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=20033919&postcount=1
And don't be nervous … rooting feels like a big step the first time you have an android phone. But it's not. The longer you own the phone, the more you will learn and the more you will want to try out with it. There will be days when you will flash and completely set up about 10 different ROMs. There will be days when you will brick your phone. Those days are still rather far away for you.
No need to do anything before and after rooting. It's so small of a change that you will hardly even notice it.
Welcome to the forums, have fun and good luck with rooting!
Thanks very much to all for ur responses...
Yeah i referd XDA and rooting is easy but my request is what to do before we do root like backup or something and after rooting what the thing we shud to first like custom rom creations..something like that...

you dont have to create custom roms...............you just download and install the created roms by different devs....from the development.....and before rooting backup your current stock rom through CWM Recovery...........

is it possible to use CWM backup even phone is not rooted?
Sent from my GT-S5360 using XDA App
ofc it is, in recovery mode it doesn't matter if you are root or not.
And you don't have to so anything before and after rooting, it can easily be reverted and everything will stay the same.

Samsung Galaxy USA Tmobile S3.. root question

hello all. I've rooted my past phones, and used custom ROMS.
I'm wondering if it's possible to just root my S3, but keep the stock Rom on it? i think it's fast, and I'm quite happy with it!
I'd like to be able to remove some of the bloat programs, and be able to do backups via titanium.
Is this possible?
Would i be able to do samsung ROM updates with ease?
would this void my warranty?
Could someone guide me to the right guide to accomplish this task?
Thanks for your time, and assistance!

Of course you can root your phone and stay on the stock rom, that's where your at after every root! Just don't flash a rom, your not forced to. You will probably have to unroot to apply updates, but I think there's an app in the play store to temporarily unroot the phone, or disable super user & busy box? Your correct on using TB to remove bloat, and there's a thread somewhere in general about what's safe to remove, and it's also best to make a back up before you remove anything just in case. There are guides in the development section on how to root, or for a video tutorial go to galaxys3root.com. It's a site created by user zedomax where he makes videos on how to root & install custom roms/reviews that can be very helpful to less advanced users. I hope I've helped, and if you have any questions, issues, or are just looking for an opinion on something feel free to PM me and if I can't help you I'll point you to someone that can! Best of luck, and be careful!

[Q] Rooting help neaded for note2

hey guys im new 2 android community... ive a galaxy note 2 GT-N7100 International version bought in India. Recently ive been thinkin 2 root my device for various mods like copyin/ installing games on memory card etc... so i wanna know wat software should i use 2 mod my device?? Also i wanna know if its safe??? Ive heard that rooted devices leads to void of warranty... is that true???
thanks in advance....
You should use the wonderful Note2 ToolKit, found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1923956
Yes, rooting it voids your warranty. But you can flash back a stock ROM and unroot if you need to take your phone in for service.
All modifications have risks. Though rooting probably won't break your phone, an user error on your part just might, or malicious code might. You can never know that! You have to be careful and use your best judgment. Rooting is basically like logging in to a computer with an administrator account, you can change all the system settings and as a result you can really screw up your system if you are not careful.
I'm just saying all that to clarify that if you do root your device and mod it, have an accident and screw something up, it's your own fault. You need to always keep that in mind.
When you download the toolkit, the first thing you need to do is:
1) EFS backup
2) Full Nandroid backup
Do those two things first, then do whatever you want. If you have EFS and Nandroid backups you have a safety net in case something goes wrong later on.
Also: read, read, read. Read every single Note II guide and FAQ you can find here on XDA.

[Q] Note 3 neo rooting questions.

Hello,
After using blackberry all my life i got my first samsung phone. I am using the 3g single sim version of the note 3 neo (running version 4.3). It has been a month and i am thinking of rooting the phone but don't understand it completely so if you guys could answer my questions and point me in the right direction it would be a great help, thanks!!
1) Will towelroot work for me? In the forums some people say it does and some say it doesn't so i don't know which to follow.
2) If it won't, what is the best method for phone?
3) If anything goes wrong, how do i go revert all changes and what are the chances of irreversable damage being caused?
4) With the upcoming kit kat update, i was thinking of holding off on all this rooting stuff, is it possible for me to update to kit kat after rooting?
EDIT: I thought i would just piggy back on this post instead of starting a new one; The blackberry keyboard had this setting where it would not auto correct spelling mistakes but would add punctuation so cant would automatically change to can't. Is there any way to do this on android without auto correcting words?

1. I don't know about towel root so can't comment.
2. Use CF root for ur model.
3. Usually there are never any issues if u follow the steps correctly, but still use it at ur own risk!
4. Yes, u can update the phone after unrooting it.
NOTE: after rooting knox counter is triggered & u will lose ur warranty!
I have no idea about ur keyboard solution but u can have a look in the play store.
Thanks for the reply. I will look into CF root. Warranty does not matter to me.

So go ahead with it & welcome to a whole new world!
Since we still don't have custom roms, I recommend u to install xposed framework & install some light modules for customisation!
