Rooting will give you simunlock. However, there is no guarantee it will work for all carriers. There are some it does not work with.

Google for a website that sells them.
You bought it in the uk, did you buy it from amazon uk or any online service? Contact the seller to see if he can help you.
I don't know what you mean by booting method.
Right now, all I can say is google is your friend.

Yes. Use the ace hack kit only to unlock/root your phone. Do not use any other method. You can flash anything in the dev section. Read the op (first page) before flashing. It will list what works and what bugs are listed.

As I know, all Dhd can be rooted by AAHK you must only follow the instructions.
As for me, the best ROM we have today for our device is http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1778202 there are few bugs only, but not critical for me If you want the ROM with Sense, look here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1792074 but this ROM works more slowly

Sense is practically the user graphical interface. It includes original Htc widgets, lockscreen, and other different features. Use google to know more
Hi,
I didn't find answers to my question on the forum so will ask it here.
I just received my " Samsung Galaxy S4 Mini I9195 - Factory Unlocked - International Version - LTE/4G (Black)" and after a few minutes of use, the "software update" window showed up. I did the update and would like to know if I can still root using this tutorial : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2364980 despite the fact that I did the update ?
I don't know if it's important but my build number ends with MG8
Is there a chance that I brick my phone even if I do exactly what's explained on the tutorial ?
Is there anything else I need to check that could cause problems before trying to root ? (Kernel version, Baseband version...)
Please forgive my noobness
yep u can

Try reseting your device [Backup and reset] from the settings, it will erase everything so make sure you backed your data up before proceeding with this step, let me know the result.

I reset and no results.. it's is because China banned all google services. All programs rules fine except google play and gmail

I would've recommended flashing your device with a Stock Firmware but it will be Chinese too, and according to the information you provided, it wouldn't help, since it is how the firmware function properly.
So maybe try Custom ROM, if you wish to keep TW features, there are plenty of TW based ROMs out there that provide a similar experience, there are even ROMs providing more features, I can't tell you what's the best Custom Rom is, since it depends on how you are planning to use your device, all what I can tell is to try different based ROMs and decide yourself what fits your needs best.

Hi so plz just check out my patreon and help me i would really apreciate it alot i think this is the link
Links removed by moderators
Instead of asking for money for a new laptop to develop a root method, why not share your theory here and see if you and other devs can work together to get it working first?
I'm sure if people see that your method has the potential of working they would be more likely to help pay for your laptop
Personally I wouldn't give money to anyone claiming anything unless I saw evidence that their claim was genuine, and they weren't just looking for a free laptop
I lol'ed. :laugh:

LOL, I doubt very seriously that you can do it so I'm not helping you buy a new laptop. I will make a deal though, help me buy a new S9 to experiment on and I'll help you buy the laptop.

Make that an S9+
any experience with snapdragon chips? are you working on an existing exploit?
I don't see how a laptop will help you if you don't have either of those two.
I have expierence with snapdragon and yes im working on it either using a eng boot or a combination rom but the combination rom might not help considering that i would need to know how to go back to the original look of the phone meaning that it would need to have the playstore and everything else

Where did you get an eng boot? If we had an actual eng boot wouldn't we have more developments for the root process by now?
there hasn't been any eng boot images afaik
I found one

You're not getting a free laptop anyway :silly:
Fine this is the link

I would think that your first major hurdle would be no OEM unlock option in the snapdragon. The 2nd major obstacle would be getting help unbricking your phone if you could get over the first hurdle. Somewhere on XDA there is a thread on these eng files.

You didn't write for what you were searching for.
How to buy it, root it, or what?
Makes it very hard to help.

If you found one already why not ask him?
Rooting gives you options to install special modules via Magisk, use apps that need root (Adaway, AFWall) or to access/edit system files.
