Hi everyone,
i have a nexus before, and i rooted it, somehow my phone couldn't power on at all(something like OMAP 4440)! Then i claimed my warranty, i got a brand new nexus now...:laugh:
question is: if i want to root my device will it dead again?
sorry for my bad English! And thank you for reading!
No...it won't dead if you root

If he isn't capable of using the insanely easy to use search then he probably shouldn't be messing with his phone.

I don't think that posting a thread titled Rooting! is going to be the starting point of the OP's rooting/android knowledge. He needs to read a LOT more and then he wouldn't have the need to ask questions like this.

Just rooted no other changes it will not fail. You will lose root by taking the OTA and at this point rooting the OTA will be the same as flashing the OTA manually, so not really a point in worrying about it. No one knows for sure what date we will get what, but EL29 was leaked days before it OTA'd for example.

Spelling is ok but thanks for your response. Voice talk and quick submit button was the victim but once again thanks for your kind words
Edit:
by the way what I was trying to say sfhub has tools that check your OTA compliance and his methods of rooting do not mess you up for taking an OTA but honestly why are you taking an OTA anyways... my bad had to ask, it is your choice...
Hey ewmccraw did I spell everything right?

I may have misunderstood your response to the OP, but I felt like you were rebuking him a little for not using google search first as opposed to just posting the question. I apologize if I did. It's just a little pet peeve of mine when that happens. After all, it's just the internet and that's the whole purpose of a forum. You know, free discussion and all that....again, sory if I missunderstud (see what I did there?)

I get it that its a forum and no prob but that does not mean you forget everything that got you to this point and that would be the search function. I will suggest using the search function as well as providing an answer... No prob and I think you spelled discusion wrong----(see what I did there) LOL
Thanks for the answers. Well the reason I wonder is because once we get ICS source and ROMs start getting built won't it be easier to flash ICS ROMs instead of having to switch around different kernels/ recoveries to flash and risk of brick will be lower? And I just didnt do a ton of searching because I been busy posting is faster.

DO IT. Flashing roms is an addiction though. Just a warning.

I'd say go for it, if you're at least moderately technically inclined.
At the very least unlock the bootloader (this will wipe your phone so backup any photos etc!). Rooting can be done later if you do that first.
If you have to ask, no you probably shouldn't.
No question, definitely root without a doubt.

This.
If you don't root your phone, it's not yours. You're not responsible for it if it gets messed up, but you are limited in what you can do with it. You're a licensee, not the owner.
I am of the opinion that I should own what's mine.

I just recently rooted my phone and am relatively new to flashing ROMs but I'm totally addicted. I would agree that you should do as much research and read thoroughly through the forums. Great experience for me so far.

Same. You really do learn about your device and the way Android works. I've had some good and bad experiences with flashing, but I've learned a lot. It's fun and you can apply so many mods to make your device unique to yourself.

Considering un-rooting and re-locking my GSM GN to sell it. I found this guide I am planning on using. Are there any problems anyone has encountered in returning their GN to stock I should be aware of? Thanks.
Gnex was made to unlock, relock, root, etc. I used Wug Toolkit many times without issues. You can find it on the Nexus 7 Android Development.

Allow me to assuage your emotional reactions:
1. I did read that thread. Read a lot of it, actually, and all I saw was a whole lot of "will this void my warranty?" "followed the steps and phone is bricked" "how I get drivers working" posts, often by people with post counts of around 4. There are 1,318 replies to that thread. Figure it out.
2. I searched, and there are no threads specifically discussing problems/complications from returning to stock in the GN board.
A lot of threads on XDA are going to be similar in nature. I felt I had pretty good reason to start a new thread. There's no reason to get upset over it, kids -- settle down.

unlocking the bootloader doesnt automatically insert root binaries and superuser.apk. did you actually ROOT the device or just unlock it?

Don't pay any attention to the trolls. They are an extremely poor representation of what the community at large is about. You have successfully unlocked your bootloader which is the first major step to gaining root access. Are you using the GSM or CDMA version? Try to follow the steps outlined in this guide if you are using Verizon: http://androidforums.com/verizon-ga...gs-root-guide-more-updating-03-28-2013-a.html Shouldn't be too hard if you can follow some pretty easy instructions. It would also be worth your while to read through some of the documentation at the top of the post as it will better explain root as a whole. Feel free to message me if you have any issues.

Why does it matter? I answered his question. You did not. Perhaps next time you could link to your preference of walkthrough and answer the guys question instead of making fun of him. Good day.
Edit: Just went back and read that you actually didn't make fun of the guy, it was the others. Still, this whole thread could have been 2 posts had one of y'all just linked him a walkthrough. Its really not that hard.

Rocket surgery! I like that, and will use it.
I've been doing alot of reading, just switched from a G3 to the G4. Now that it's been out and guys have been doing this for a while, what is the easiest root method for the G4? For my G3 I simply used TowelRoot but I haven't seen that option for the G4, what's the hot ticket now that there are a bunch of choices?
Thanks-Dan

Douche, I mean dude, if you had sharper reading comprehension skills you would see that I have been reading the forums, I have been reading for days. I was looking for a quick, intelligent response from guys that have done it, not some "dump" ass response from a guy who thinks he's cool telling people to search.
You don't specify your model nor your current os, so without any of that information we can't give you a recommendation...beside that, there is just two methods to root your phone and depending on the version, just one.

On 5.1 I used this method. Works solid, but is far away from a single click solution.
Btw: Since your bootloader is locked, you can't have MM with root.
...so after you flash a modified system partition, root will prevent ota's and you can also disable the updater lgdmsclient to make sure. Stay on LP then wait for progress on mm in case useable root comes about but it's not looking good atm. Even on unlocked BL phones most root apps work poorly.
i think low effort method is the best choice out there
google it or you can find it here
you are welcome anytime to ask
