Q rooting

Hey guys I'm trying to root my friends Verizon galaxy nexus and I'm having some problems finding the right way to do it... He is running the newest version 4.2.2 and it seems all guides are outdated.. Can anyone link me to a forum on how to do so? Thanks in advance.

There is a stickies in this forum that are fine.... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1529058
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=26328017&postcount=123 <-- that is in a different sticky (less in depth instructions). Although with that you probably should download a more up to date recovery, but it would get you root with the old recovery.
That said...I recommend letting your friend do the work. That way he/she can learn, and if there is a problem, he/she can possibly fix it. Rather than being stuck without a device until you can get around to potentially fixing it. Especially if you plan on flashing custom ROMs and kernels.

There's no 4.2.2 tw for sprint at all so you shouldn't flash any of them unless they are in this dev section of the forums. Also Q&A is the right section for this

You could use Odin to flash back to stock.

If you can enter to download mode then flash the stock tar.md5 via Odin.
You can find all stock tar.md5 in http://rwilco12.com/downloads.php?dir=Files/Devices/Samsung Galaxy S3 (SPH-L710)/Stock ROMs/JB

Quick confirmation

I am familiar with rooting and rom, but only on Nexus devices. So I am looking to flash a custom rom on my wifes GS3, but want to confirm the next step.
I have rooted the device using CF auto root, i then installed TWRP via goo manager.
So can i just flash roms like normal now? Is the bootloader unlocked, or is that not involved with this device?

You can flash ROMs like normal.. Bootloader is already unlocked

If you want to flash custom ROMs like cm or aosp, you'll most likely have to update the bootloader. But if your just flash TW ROMs, you should be fine.

Thanks guys. Probably just TW Roms this way I don't confuse her. Her GS3 has just been running like crap lately so figured I'd wipe it and install something with less bloat.

Yea stick to touchwiz, it already includes a bunch of stuff that wasn't possible back on the GB days without root . I like the progression android has made with battery percentage etcc

How to root D710BST

What is the best way to root the d710BST (Boost mobile) model of the phone? I have been looking around for a month now... I NEED help. I don't want the sprint bloatware though........

Easiest way to root is to use a one click. Get the bloat out by either using a rom that has it removed or by using titanium backup to remove bloat you dont want.

You should just use framaroot apk just google it, works perfect. Choose super su then choose aragon then reboot.

Are you asking about root for JB on the Boost variant? I have a guide that explains how to root your existing setup. It's basically the same for both Sprint and Boost. If you want to use a stock kernel after rooting just flash a Boost kernel for JB.

Use the JB boost one click...full restore.( back up you're device...this will wipe the sdcard.)
Then follow this guide to flash jdsingles boost debloated rooted ROM..or his stock ROM..
Read it...know it...own it... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2418320 post 5 is where you want to look.
Let me know if you have problems...and this should have been posted in the noob friendly q&a thread at the top of the page..

Famanroot was a simple click and reset root tool. Just scanned a qr and boom. Rooted!

[Q] Please help me root a 'new' Note 2...

Hi all,
I just moved from a Galaxy S2 to a near new Note 2. I rooted the S2 a long time ago.
Now I like to root the Note 2. At this moment, I just want to root it so that I can
run Titanium backup, remove ads, remove bloatware etc...
I searched and read through may be several hundred posts but I'm more confused than ever.
Please give me some pointers and I will go from there. I know what Odin, CWM are but my memory
is outdated as the last time i used them to root my S2 was Oct 2012 and never touched them ever since.
Thank you very much in advance. I appreciate all your help.
mike
