Thank you to all - AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III

All,
I was finally able to root my GS3 and install the tethering app (WIFI Tethering for Root Users) and get it working in infrastructure mode!!
I know it is not a big deal to all the Droid journeymen out there but for someone who is completely new to the Android world, it is a big deal and I could not have done it without the forums help.
So, to all the good people who took the time to answer my questions and guide me in the right direction... Thank you! Thank you very much!

Help Needed - I'm desperate!!!!

Hello,
I desperately need some help. So please, please can somebody rescue me....
My girlfriend bought a HTC Touch Dual from ebay which was locked to the Orange Network in the UK. I tried to unlock the phone for her so she could use her Vodafone SIM and have made a right mess! I used an eight-step process on one of the threads on this forum and got completley lost.
Firstly, I don't really know what I'm doing, and have no idea what a 'radio', 'rom', etc is. In fact, in reading these forums I realise how out of my depth I am.
Would somebody be able to help me out. Not necesarily with unlocking, but just getting the unit back to working order - i.e. so the cameras work, the sound works, the screen responds to my taps, the wireless card works, etc...
Please remember I know nothing about these machines, so you will need to use VERY simple explanation!!
Thank you in advance,
Gary
My best advice is, try and flash a rom on the device for the device(learn how to first, you don't need to know all the details involved just the process, and what to download), then buy a cheap unlocking solution online.
I would suggest this rom: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=500021.
Here is how to flash a rom on to an HTC device: http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Flashing Guide
Thank you for your help...
I'll take a look at your links.
Still don't know what a 'radio' or a 'ROM' is! Any clues welcome...
Thanks again - I appreciate it

I have had a look at the links and am completely lost.
Please don't underestimate my lack of mobile I.T. skills - I really don't know what I'm doing!
Can anyone simply tell me what to do, step-by-step, without any jargon, to get a workable handheld?
Mabe this will set the scene... Imagine you need to explain it to an 80 year old Grandmother...
Thanks again

Android General Help And Root.

Hi all. I am new to the android platform. I have had my EVO since launch day, and previously came from the pre.
I am loving this phone, and am really looking to take the plunge into rooting, etc.
I have been doing a lot of reading through forums regarding how to root, ADB, etc.
There seems to be a lot of different info out there, just trying to take it all in.
Anyway..........I was wondering If I could get someone to maybe join me on MSN messenger to maybe help me understand this phone a little more and help me out with Full root access.
This would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks for your time guys/gals.
Anyone willing to help me out with this tomorrow afternoon/evening??

Friendly expert needed to answer a few quick questions about rooting & hotspot

I've never used Clockwork Recovery. I'm curious why there would be a need for it if someone can use Mobile Odin to Root a brand new phone and install kernels and ROMs. It seems a lot simpler to just stick with one app to install roms and root. Maybe I'm missing something?
I actually used standard Odin to root my Note 2 using CF-Auto-Root-t0ltetmo-t0ltetmo-sght889.tar.md5. If I had known I could root my phone without downloading any images using Mobile Odin, I would have done it that way. Is there any difference between Mobile Odin's EverRoot rooting mod and CF-Auto-Root-t0ltetmo-t0ltetmo-sght889.tar.md5? The only thing I had to do was manually install SuperSU and BusyBox; which appeared not to be included.
Which custom rom would be the closest to the stock ROM; which includes a no-hassle reliable mobile hotspot app builtin?
It's unclear what tmobile actually does to stop "non-T-Mobile hotspots" from working. If it's simply checking incoming tcp port 80 connections for black-listed user-agent strings, does that mean that all other TCP/UDP ports are unrestricted on mobile hotspot clients? Nobody seems to be talking about anything else but using a web browser on the hotspot client. I'm basically looking for a completely unrestricted mobile wifi hotspot (no different than non-mobile hotspots).
Thanks so much to the kind people who takes the time to answer my questions.
Sincerely,
MKANET

Download mskip's tool, run the root all-in-one command, choose SuperSU and Team Win Recovery Project, and then flash the ROM Tweaked. You'll be happy, guaranteed.
Thanks. But, what does that do? Any chance you would know the answers to my questions?

No offense intended, but the search button and a little bit of reading will answer your questions faster and more effectively than you waiting for someone else to do it for you. These forums are for learning and helping each other and from so.eone who also started just the same as you and k ew very little the help I'm going to offer is what.l I believe would be best before you get into any of the above. Search and read,read,read. Good luck friend and I hope you take my advice you will probably learn much more than you asked for by the time you've answered your own questions.

No offense, but that makes you think I didn't search already? In fact, some of my questions were a result of some of the searches I did already on the forums. I do agree that the forums are a valuable tool for learning. However, they're only as good as the quality of the contributing community members providing answers to questions (such as mine). For example, the time it took you to reply to my post, if you had used that time to answer even a couple of my questions, your helpful answers would show up in searches for someone else looking for the same/similar specific questions in the future; instead of reaching a less than helpful response.. suggesting to go search some more.
Having said that, I do think there are a lot of blatant duplicate questions on forums in general from people who who didn't search at all. I honestly think I made a good effort to searching for the information I was looking for. I'm still actively searching; but, hopefully someone experienced may catch this; and, have a couple of minutes to answer a couple of questions. Of course, if I find what I'm looking for, I will at least post the answer to my questions to at least make it easier for someone who may have similar questions in the future.

Possible? broke lcd, unlock PIN from PC

Hey guys! My Galaxy s3 i747 from At&t has the lcd broken, I want to extract my information but since I do not have an LCD, I cannot input my pin so that the computer recognizes the device. Is there ANYTHING i can do? bypass the lockscreen from the PC to access the folders on android and recover my docs, or input the PIN from some sort of command, or screencast to succesfuly bypass this only barrier to get my pictures that are the most important part.
Try scrolling down a few posts

I will try that which helps, but the problem is that I had keepsafe app which hides pictures and documents which are really hidden folders. Which a normal backup I think would not back up, there are documents therewhich are of extreme value. That is why I am looking for a way to access the phone.
I tried screencasting but since it is not in debug mode, i guess it doesnt appear in my computer for the cast to access it.thanks
I saw a post someone saying that people don't use the search enough but a way to back up data.. The way it works from reading it was if you are rooted. I have a question. does any part of your screen work or is it just a big blob of color**. also I stopped rooting and modding my phone after getting a good one due to bugs in custom roms. Having stock allows me to call Samsung and ***** and rage and have support. Don't get me wrong the modding community is great and I respect that. But my phone is pretty much my work it has to work how it was sold to me.
I hope there is a way to allow you to fix it yourself with out sending it to Samsung. Or having to pay top dollar for your data.
also search on the internet has become to the point of hopeless, most the time you have to word it right or know the tech term to get the answer easy. I feel your pain and respect the fact you had the guts to ask for help.

Native docker on android help

Hello,
This is my first post so i want to thank this great community with the help i got so far.
I found this guide: https://gist.github.com/FreddieOliveira/efe850df7ff3951cb62d74bd770dce27
which shows how to run a docker natively on Android, my purpose is to run Home Assistant on an old OP5t i have laying around as it's got way more ram and power of a raspberry and i don't want to spend money on buying another device.
I haven't found any thread about this so far by searching so i wanted to ask if anyone knows of a readily available ROM with needed kernel changes, or went through the process and has any tips on how to do this. I am confidend that with a good amount of time, some hammering and a ton of swearing i'd be able to do it but it would be grat if anyone has done this and can share any readymade compatible ROM.
If not any advice on where to start?
Any kind of help welcome. I'll start to work on it meanwhile.
Best Regards,
Roshi
