My career is nowhere near anything related to electronics. Consequently, I only know one rooted Android user, but it's actually became a source of bonding for us, since it's a rare little hobby we share. Have you made friends with other rooted users?
Actually, it's a good question. I only know one rooted user and It's my girlfriend who has my old Galaxy S with CM9 on it.
I have rooted so many of my friends phones and installed custom roms that it is unfit...
nice question .. just 1 .. but loads of friends on android, i have converted majority of them
Seven here, as I have convinced most of my boys and they are now rooted along with a few of their friends.
Like your statement regarding "shared hobby", I have to agree in my case and I enjoy the ability to "talk shop" with my kids. :silly:
I personally know 2, I walked 1 of them through while the other guy saw me doing a nandroid, then the rest is history.
Of the dozen or so people I know that have Android phones, I would reckon on about 9 of them running rooted non-stock ROMs. Of the non-rooted ones, I have done my best to get them to take the plunge but no luck so far...
Sadly very few.
I know a handful from work I'd guess 5 or 6. We talk about root / roms but I dont really see them outside of work.
outside of work I know 5 others. My brother and sister. Mother in law, sister in law and my wife.
I manage all those phones hahaha
it's been 3 yrs and i know 0 people who rooted their phone.
I work in with a lot of technical people. However, I can only think of 3 people who have rooted Android devices. Everyone else is missing out.
My wife still won't let me mess with her Droid Incredible - I'd love to get CM9 on that thing for her (or maybe just to feed my own obsession)
I work in IT so I do know a few but percentage wise it is probably less than 2%.

I know 4. once Evo, one HP touchpad, one Acer iconia, and a galaxy S3.
i know about 10 others who i have tried to get into the ROOT/ROM scene but no one wants to jump in. phones including some Droid X2's, Razr, Galaxy Note, and my wifes Incredible 2 and nexus 7 remain untouched because she "doesn't want me to mess anything up"
root? LOL
Root-users friends?
AHAHAHAHAH
My friend watch me like as astronaut , when i show them i have different launcher!
only one friend, buyed used HD2 with miui rooted pre-installed
All my friends love to tweak or mess with their phones so they all are rooted users.
My family (mom,two brothers n me) sister is n iOS fan boo
We all got galaxy nexus n rooted with custom ROM
Mom always ask questions and want to customize more she learning
Two bros on different ROM one on parandroid the other cm10
Mom and I are stock
She love it

I've created many monsters and crack flashers
i know a few
some fully understand why and what they did, others... well, maybe somebody did it for them
My GF.
But Like another poster, only because I gave her my old Samsung Spica with CM7!
I know one other guy who keeps telling me he's thinking about rooting his SGS but isn't sure..... why??? :silly:
I met a waiter at OliveGarden that had CM7 on his DROID. That was a while ago tho, other than him I know zero people who have rooted their phones.
Hi every1 , is anyone working to get S-OFF on Hox ,if so what's the progress because i can't find any info about it.
I've heard that some people are working "behind the scene" and they doing well but unfortunately they don't want to share anything with us .
Also i've heard that some of the best developers just give up with that issue ,one of them said that it's impossible to get S-OFF on HOX and that makes me said because i've had a choice between HOX and SGS 3 and i choose HOX and i love that phone .I just get mad when i'm thinking of S-oFF crap.I would love to have my phone OPEN 100% and do with it whatever i want.
Why HTC doesn't give a **** abouot us customers?? Damn HOX is very expensive phone and suppose to be like Samsung phone OPEN that's major reason why i didn't buy apple or other crap.

Just look further down the pages all the S OFF threads are there
Basically. There is no mass S OFF ready now or next week at least.

Lol..no need to bash HTC mate..I also disappointed about S-OFF but because we have bought the product, we have to go on with it..
Now we have to rely on those active devs and members out there that actively developing ways to achieve S-OFF..
Well.
It is possible to s-off hox. Behind the scene mine hox has been made s-off.
They are looking for a solution to S-OFF the HOX without any use of a xtc-clip, OTG-cable with a specific java/gold-card. But just unlocking like revoked on HTC Desire. (Also first goldcard, after a while you could s-off through a software).
Try to get your hands on one of those cards... Like mission impossible...Or you have to pay the jackpot to someone who has it...
YES it is possible.. But be patient.
Finally You gave me some hope because i was thinking about selling my HOX but i really prefer to own a HOX than SGS 3 ,about others phones i don't give a sh..
Where i can find an instruction how to S-OFF using xtc-clip, OTG-cable with a specific java/gold-card ?
Or where i could find somebody who will do this for me and my hox??

I have to dissapoint you my friend. It is not that easy. I gave mine for testing purpose. The big guys said that you can't S-OFF a device that has a custom rom. Well guess what. You can... But this also could ended wrong for me.
To make things clear now. There isn't any guides how to achieve now to S-OFF your hox. Like I said, you have to pay the "jackpot" price to get a XTC-clip. I don't even know if this fully works. Also the same as java/gold-card. First try to buy an java/gold card that is decrypted as hell and designed to do real HTC Engineering stuff with your HOX. Every gold/java-card is different. If this was so easy, wouldn't there be a long time ago hundredthousands of copies of those contens on the "world wide web".
Think about it. If everything was so easy, than anybody could S-OFF every HOX right now
Hi guys im looking for a little support on find a way to root the new ZTE Anthem from metro pcs... I tried the same way the ZTE Blade is rooted but that led to nothing but wasted time its running 2.3.5 and that SUCKS to be such a good phone at this price range...as you can tell i am a noob to this website but not phone mods so all support will be grateful thanks!
same here
Im hoping someone from this site will give us some help with this problem. I hate gingerbread and am starting to hate this phone. For having dual core processor i wouldnt get so many FC's but i get them constantly. I use ES task manager and still get them all the time. And no flash support (gingerbread) and third party browsers barely work...For the price you would think youd be getting a decent phone? Im starting to disagree. But hey at least the pre installed kung fu panda 2 (that i cant erase) so that should make it all better....
Any updates?

Do you have any updates on a root method for this phone? I've had it about three months and I've been looking for ways to root the whole time. I actually joined XDA just five minutes ago just to respond to this thread. So, any updates?

After searching all over the net for a way to root the ZTE and finding nothing, I sold it and flashed a sprint sgs3 to metro. I'm so much happier with the galaxy its not even funny. My only drawback is I haven't been able to get my mms messaging to work. Sorry for not being much help, good luck on your search. .
Almost 2 years ago, I had an HTC Inspire. Earlier this year, I moved up to a Galaxy Note II..got it rooted and have been loving it ever since.
However, I'd really like to find an app like Boot Manager. I bought the app when I had the Inspire, but it does not work on the Note II. I tried emailing them...a month ago and no response. Now, reading the reviews, it seems they stopped updating it and just let the app die. Are there any other apps out there similar to Boot Manager for Note II?
I tried asking in the Q&A....129 views and 0 responses.
There isnt anything like that for most phones. Best you can do on the note is dual boot

Thanks hun, I may try that soon....after I find 2 ROMs I absolutely love
I'm guessing all the bad reviews woke up the BM devs because they updated their description:
"We apologize for letting this app die we became very busy with other works, however, starting today (November 7th) we have began to work on this project again. We plan to update soon and will be working on the following: support for Galaxy Nexus JB, and Samsung Galaxy S3 support. If you would like to suggest other points to work on follow us at @init2winitapps on twitter and mention us to contact us."
Which is good news for those people but bad for the ones not on the list....ah well...it was a $3 app that served it's purpose.

Hi I need to root my phone and install cm but am seeing conflicting info yet some people are running cm. I have flashed gs3 ect before but need to find a safe way. Can someone point me in the right direction.
Also still waiting for my new ad card. Can the band backup be stored to internal memory?

From what I can see, there isn't really much going around for the find 7 QHD international or even the Chinese model yet, since most people are still receiving their pre orders (even myself) be patient and hopefully some stuff will start cropping up, there is a root method already though.
Hey,
I set mine up with AOSP 4.4.4 / root / etc ...
With the instructions here :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=53814021&postcount=57
Installed fastboot with this :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2588979
Seems to work OK, main issue is that the mic does not work on the speakerphone or when taking video.
Cheers
I'm on a Find 7 QHD, and have been running CM11 since Monday. I flashed the 7/2 nightly early this morning, and have been hammering the phone for the past 7 hours. No issues...rock solid...45% of my battery left.
While your mileage may vary, for me this has been a very solid ROM.
You can go visit thread in Oppo Forum too: http://www.oppoforums.com/forums/third-party-development.131/
I suggest you to install the recovery first (Gummy's CWM recovery), then root, then install ROM. Like DeadlyDa said, you can go download CM11 nightly (latest one) or Nameless ROM, and Gapps, and then flash them.

So the root method will work on any model? I just received my find 7 x9076 and would love to root. Thanks for letting us know. I can't wait to run cm11 on this bad boy!
I retired my GS3 in style....My 18 month old son chucked the GS3 at Buzz lightyear while we were at Disney! lol....
I haven't flashed for a long time and cannot remember the commands etc for fastboot. Will look when I get home but is there a guide anywhere ?

I'm not sure which root methods work with which, a quick google or youtube search should point you in the right direction, just make sure you get the model number right. My QHD find 7 is coming in like 10 mins so I'm super hyped at the moment
And oh dear haha, Kids ey :victory:

I tried rooting via xda video and no go I'll keep looking and if you find a you tube video that is solid, let me know thanks.
Oh my boy loves the notification light on the 7!!!! I won't let him touch it..... wwJoshDew (youtuber) posted a vid about an insurance company that is cheaper than all just in case you break a phone. It's 5 bucks a month, supposedly. I may check it out.
