I have a USA T-Mobile G1 with the DMD64 update. I'd like to put Cyanogenmod 5 on it, but I'm scared to downgrade/root it. I don't know how to backup all my phone settings/apps/etc, if it will deactivate my sim and I'll have to ask T-Mobile for a reactivation, or what will happen. Can somebody tell me how to do this without permanently losing any settings, apps or network status?
I would like to root my Xperia x8, however I cant connect it via USB as the port on the phone is damaged. Is there any way of doing it via Bluetooth? Or any way of doing it at all? I should explain that the damage is not covered by the warranty due to 'physical damage' and that the phone is 'beyond economic repair'. Also I am running firmware version 2.1.

I live in Chennai and have updated my X10 mini to 2.1;is there a single click quick root possible like it used to be with 1.6 using Universalandroot?There are too many space-consuming apps that I find no use for!
I like the way one on Samsung phones can have two apps filling the screen at the same time, and I wonder is this possible without installing X floating windows Mod? For the HTC M9, that is.
I have jailbroken many an iphone and ipod, and I have recently bought the S6. I am keen to root but it seems far more potentially troublsome, and far less straightforward.I bought this in New Zealand from Spark. I assume it is locked?Is the bootloader locked?I couldnt find the matching build on Chainfire, Can this particular model be rooted?Is there any guide to rooting? It seems all the information is spread out all over the place and no definitive guide and FAQ.I can't even find the original stock rom.Is rooting not similar to jailbreaking in the way it is done?
if I rooted my phone using SuperSU after OEM unlock, so stock rom and recovery just root access, would I be able to apply OTA updates, or sideload them?
I was looking for a decent, non-root way of tethering my Nexus One's 3G connection. I was going to get PDANET, but i noticed that it was removed from the marketplace. other than that, there are no other ways (that i have found) that i can successfully tether my Nexus One with my iPad. Im not too keen in rooting my Nexus One only because it will void my warranty, but also because i "wont be able to receive OTA updates." Anyone else find a good way to do this without rooting? I personally dont think its fair that my unlocked full priced Nexus One is unable to tether because T-Mobile pressured android into doing so.
Could any one let me know how can i record my wished phone calls on my brand new xperia neov.I dont want to use rooting procedure, as my warranty might get void.I tried with some apps on google play, but none of them were working fine.
I have a Neo V and it was with GB in start, then upgraded to ICS and now with GB again, but this time the battery life is lower than in the start. So how to have better battery life?
My phone came with GB 2.3.4 build .62 which is hard to root. So as the above guide directed, I downloaded a .42 build firmware, CE(Central Europe perhaps? I don't know) and tried to flash it using flashtool. I disconnected the phone from the PC in between. My phone wouldn't boot. Then I used SUS and updated it to ICS, making the phone work. I then flashed it to GB .42 patiently, and with success. Alas, problems started immediately. Many processes such as media, calender storage, acro etc came up as stopped working. Even after selecting force close they would keep appearing. I cleared the respective cache/data and the notifications stopped. Then I rooted it using Doomlord's toolkit, and updated to .62 via OTA, keeping my root. A few things have changed. The keyboard name is the same, International keyboard, but it is different and I don't like it. Camera is not working. Screen goes blank if I open the camera. Messaging does not work and the messaging app crashes as soon as I open it. No contacts are found, despite importing them again. (They all show up when using the import from SIM option, it says importing is done but they are nowhere to be found). Google search is not working and it crashes too.
So a couple of days ago i rooted my phone. i had made sure that i backed up everything through HTC sync manager. well after the rooting process was complete, htc sync is no longer recognizing my phone. I tried re-installing it on the phone again, deleted all the drivers on the computer and re-installed them. nothing works. i need to restore my phone back on here. Is there another program that i need to use. I'm using a MacBook Pro.
Rooting and unlocking. Up until I rooted my nexus 5 in the hopes to get side by side apps I haven't rooted since my gs2. Anyways I rooted my phone via the nexus 5 root toolkit and unlocked the bootloader and whatnot. I found out that I couldn't do side by side because it wasn't available for my version of android. I attempted to unroot and return to stock and I just unrooted and locked the bootloader. Can't figure out how to return my phone to stock without twrp. Every time I try to do OTA updates it just restarts to twrp and it's super annoying. How to get back to stock so I can do OTA updates?

i have a Samsung Exhibit II that is rooted. If I move the SIM cars to a Galaxy S II will it be rooted? Or is the rooting in a different part of the hardware?
I just unlocked my Sensation's bootloader through the official HTC Dev website. I've been trying to do unlock root access as officially as possible and I noticed after unlocking the bootloader the device is still S-ON. Did unlocking the bootloader help at all in an attempt to achieve root? What steps should I take to continue my quest for root access?
Is there any logical way to swap these without rooting? I have apps looking at the internal storage and there's no setting to point them at my SD card This is truly one of the dumbest "features" I've ever seen on a phone. What purpose does it serve?
Has anyone found a utility to root the Droid 4 yet? If yes, could you please provide a link?
