Hey everyone, I'm a noob in the world of android devices and rooting phones. So basically, my sisters galaxy gio s5660M is running out of internal memory and most apps cannot be moved to the external SD. This is the reason I wish to root, in order to save apps on the SD. The phone is running 2.3.4 Gingerbread. I've seen a few tutorials about rooting this phone, but all of them weren't specific to the firmware that this phone has and were pretty sketchy. How do I go about rooting this phone, without bricking it or wiping out any data? Thank you so much, all help appreciated :laugh::laugh::laugh:

The phone isnt bricked because of the rom, you may have done something wrong
Sent from my GT-S5660 using xda app-developers app
i really don't know what happened....i got the rom from like 2 weeks and know i wanted to install the stock rom and when i wanted to do downloading nothing....the battery is charged but nothing he's dead....
Well, it didnt happened if things didnt messed up.
You must have done something wrong...
Can you still boot anything? Recovery , android?!
Sent from my GT-S5660 using xda app-developers app
nope he's dead....
The rom cant possible kill your phone its proven
Only after many many flashes your recovery will have problems with backing up
But isnt really needed
Only thing that could kill it was some apps that arent for this phone
Like rom manager etc
Things that require root etc

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 He is running the newest version 4.2.2 and it seems all guides are outdated..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.
I want to root my Samsung Galaxy S III, which is with Bell in Canada. It is the I747M running android 4.1.1. I want to root it and put CyanogenMod on it but I have no idea where to start. Please help me!
Thanks in advance!

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.

I got it done with the other thread for T889.
Hey there, I was wondering whether I could use the Software "KingoAndroidRoot" to simply root my GT-P5210.
Anyone tried this? Because http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2432467 here the Root ZIP download does not work..
I could just click on root now but im a bit scared since I found nothing about my Tablet in combination with this software(kingo android root) :S can it even brick the device?
i have 4.2.2 installed... just want to get rid of all these preinstalled apps... touchwiz isnt too bad imo.
Still would apreciate roms, do you think in the future there might be cyanogenmod or something aviable for this device??
thanks for your suppport, i apreciate it!
regards
Don't use Kingo...Just tested it for you and after 45 minutes of headache it doesn't work. Maybe the next version will.
