Hi all
My phone is a Samsung Galaxy Ace 2 (GT-I8160) PDA:LD8 PHONE:LD8 CSC:LD3 (XEO).
I rooted it some weeks ago with this method : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2006183
Kies ask me to update my phone for this version : PDA:LK6 / PHONE:LK6 / CSC:LK1 (XEO)
If I update my phone, should I root again my phone ? With the same method, or an other because of the different version (was LDA8, will be a LK6) ?
Thanks for your help.
Sorry for my bad english :laugh:
Unroot it first... Then root..

Alright, first of all.. please learn to search the forums. This is to avoid spam and repetition of questions. There's a Q and A thread for Ace 2, which is found here.
You might ask, "why will I post there?" Most users are subscribed to that thread, waiting to see if someone posted a new question thus, increasing the chance that your question will be seen since most users are accessing the forums from their smartphones, they tend to overlook the other parts of the forums.
If you have time, PC with Odin, and common sense then try this method. Flashing a pre-rooted stock rom (Note: This method will not increase your counter). As for the LK6 firmware, see this
For the latest firmwares (pre-rooted), see the thread here

Hi guys, new member here.
Sorry for these questions but I am VERY new to Android. I have the Samsung Galaxy 2 with stock Android version, uprooted and locked to my phone company. I would like to update it but I have some concerns I would like to clear first.
1- Can I safely backup everything in case my phone company doesn't recognize my phone after the update?
2- Can I install ICS? My phone company doesn't have the update... Is there a "generic" ROM that I can use?
3- How easy would be to brick it?
If you guys have some links to some guides for the first 2 questions, that would be awesome.
Thanks a lot!

Telling you the answers is too easy! You've got to take the time and read up on your specific device. The short answer you will get is yes you can backup your device the firmware is out there if you mess up. Just trust me when I say if you do diligence in your reading you will have the new OS in no time flat. Start with the forums that are relevant to your phone.

By the sound of things, it seems like you should not do any of that now. You should read up more before you even attempt any of those things.
N.B. - It is extremely easy to brick your device, especially when you do not know what you are doing.

1- There are ways to unlock your phone and I am sure you can find a the right guide to help you.
2- try reading this... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1544487
3- my advice is NOT just read one thread... read couple and learn the exact ways of doing something before you actually do it because as long as you use the right information, you should be fine.
Hi, guys!
Please tell me how to root a locked bootloader stock 4.0.4 (.431 firmware) Xperia Pro.
Can it be done without downgrading??? And if not, please be kind and give me a step by step tutorial with .ftf links.
I don't want a custom rom for now, just rooting for stock 4.0.4
Thank you!
Why dont you have a look on google or xda on how to root your 4.0.4
You can find a root tutorial in the second page

Check the stickied threads under the General section. The rooting method is the same.
I checked the threads before posting this and I didn't get a thing.
So, can someone please tell me with a little sense of English how to root it, because AeonWorld left me in a total blackout with his coherence and English...
And also, is it true that you can install cwm only with unlocked bootloader???

Should have checked google then. You can install CWM with a locked bootloader, but obviously can't flash a custom kernel, which most custom ROMs use.
Nevermind, everything is solved!
Now I have a beautiful rooted Xperia Pro with stock, which I heard it's the most stable and fast rom.
But now I have other questions...
First of all, what are all the tweaks I can make to make it even faster... (links please)
And the themes from arc and neo should work for pro without a problem also, right???
Use zeppelinrox's V6 Supercharger. Follow rexstor's guide. Make sure you read the original thread first.
Partition your memory card to use it with Link2SD. Follow XperiaBlog's guide to set it up.
Thanks for your useful reply (the first one around here...)!
Just got my ZL and I must say (till now) this phone is kickass. As you might have imagined, I cannot wait to root it, but I have also seen talk of an update on the XDA forums, I have been through tons of threads on both rooting and upgrading, but am still a bit confused.
My ZL has the follwoing specs:
Model C6506
Firmware; 10.1.A.1.434
Android OS: 4.1.2
So the question is, which is the best way to go for rooting/updating the software?? Thanks

Personally, i would do the following :
1. Update the official way via Sony PC Companion, which should bring you to Firmware 10.3.1.A.0.244
2. Follow one of the guide to root.
3. With it rooted, install CWM / TWRP.
This is my preferred method, others may do otherwise.
Thanks.

This is not a question that should clog up a dedicated development section. That's what the general section's for.
Question don't belong in Development, thread moved to Q&A.
Thanks
Sorry for posting in the wrong section.... I'll give takagen's suggestion a try. I'l llet you know. Thanks.
Tried updating via PC companion but no updated firmware available. Any way to force the update or flash it?? Thanks.
Nevermind. Im reading doomlords thread.

Go to CM's website and use the built in installer.
Also you need to report your post so it can be moved to the sprint s3 area so you can get users familiar with your device to help you. This area is for the international i9300 and anything you flash or instructions you follow from here will brick your phone as you need to perform more steps first before you can get underway.

Thank you so very much. I'm sorry but I don't know how to report my post.
Ok This time I will do it for you
Commonly asked questions for the Note 4 N910A. I am seeing these same questions asked over and over and over and over and over again.
1) Is there root available?
There is NO permanent root available.
Temporary root is available ONLY if your phone hasn't updated past firmware OC4.
2) Can I install [this ROM] or [firmware from another Note 4 model]?
NO! We have a locked bootloader still. The only thing you can flash is firmware made for this phone by Samsung/ATT.
3) Will Kingroot or Klingo root work?
See #1. Kingroot is how you do the temp root mentioned in #1.
4) My OTA update won't install! HELP!
See my other thread here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=3226166
4) I'm not on ATT or not in the US, how do I update to the latest firmware?
See my other thread here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=3226166
5) Will this phone ever be rooted?
I don't know. Let me use my crystal ball to look into the future. Oh wait! NO ONE CAN TELL THE FUTURE!!!
6) What? This phone isn't rooted yet or has had the bootloader unlocked? It's been a year since this phone has been released!
GTFO... NOW! Run as fast as you can. We will be in hot pursuit with pitchforks and torches.

You're welcome. I want to try and get this stickied if it's helpful, but I'm not sure who the mod is that I need to contact.
