The problem I have is that the "Install" button at the bottom of the permissions screen doesn't react when I tap it. Do you have Twilight installed? If you do, don't and that should fix it.

Is there any decent root tool/step for a Galaxy S4 (international version)? Motochopper doesn't work for me even after following the guide and doing it properly. I'm still running 4.2.2. Or should I just go for CM 10.2? What I want is to remove certain samsung apps that are always trying to update, isn't something critical but I like to have my OS bit more clean.

Does anyone have experience with how well these work on the S4? The site I linked above only lists HyperDrive, JellyBeans, and Eclipse as stable.

I'm upgrading my Samsung Exhibit II to a Nexus 4 and have a few questions since the OP seems outdated. As long as I'm not missing anything, it appears that you can tether for free (at least through USB) and use torch apps without rooting now. Is this correct? Those are the two biggest reasons I rooted my Exhibit and I don't want to be flagged and have my warranty voided almost as soon as I get it just for two things I can do without a root. The tethering isn't a huge deal since I only usually have to do it when I make specific trips and I'll just bring the exhibit with me to tether. I do love my flashlight, though. Edit: I'm on T-mobile's $30 walmart plan if that's for whatever reason relevant.

Flashlight apps (turning on the camera flash) should also work fine though I personally don't use one. But the most important thing to note here is that rooting a Nexus device is not like it is on other phones. You can safely unlock the bootloader without invalidating your warranty and both this and rooting/unrooting are a completely trivial process. Even though these phones are now marketed to consumers, they are still designed to be used as developer devices. Unless you care a lot about your device being super-secure, it is recommended that you unlock the bootloader immediately since that step will wipe your device if you ever want to do it later. You don't have to root or do anything else at that point but but leaves the option open later. Tunga fucked around with this message at 10:25 on Sep 4, 2013 |

And if you're worried about security, encrypt your phone and the fact that your phone is unlocked makes no difference.

I've worked around T-Mobile's tethering block with a user agent plugin so no worries there. I'll probably be rooting my nexus eventually since voiding the warranty shouldn't be an issue.

Is there a quick one-stop site that explains how I can both root my AT&T HTC One and install a stock Android OS/the nexus user experience, which links to all software downloads I need? I have no idea what I'm doing with something like this and always end up screwing something up so I really need a basic guide. Also, if I decide I don't like the non-Sense OS, will a factory reset still work? Just in case I need to use the warranty in the next few months, which I understand is violated if my phone is rooted but won't be an issue if I restore it back to factory first.

In the case that you want to do warranty work, you really have to do a lot more than just a 'factory restore', you'll need to unroot the device, you'll need to flash a stock ROM back on it, and if I remember correctly there is also some intermediate step where you reset a 'counter', at least I had to do a bunch of that stuff to get my S3 to look stock again before selling it. It's not entirely straightforward, but it's possible (again, at least it CAN be possible).

If you've taken the latest OTA from AT&T then your options are somewhat limited. There are two ways to get a stock android rom on your one. The first is to turn off the phone's security verification. This is called s=off. To get s=off you need to push an executable to your phone called revone and run that. You can get s=off with that tool and also unlock your bootloader. If you have taken the latest AT&T ota, revone won't work because the exploit that revone uses has been patched. I believe you can install the factory AT&T rom (called an RUU) which thou can download from HTC in order to downgrade to a version that wasn't yet patched. Once you have s=off you can change the phone's model ID and carrier ID, then install the RUU for the Google play edition which you can download from HTC. It won't install unless your carrier id and model id match. This is the more complicated way but also the most complete way. It turns your phone into the Google play edition and you'll get ota updates for the Google play edition. Going back to stock with this method is simple. Change your model and carrier IDs back to what they were before and install the AT&T RUU. Relock the bootloader with revone, go back to s=on and you're completely back to stock. The easier way is to just download one of the custom roms available on xda for a Google play rom. You'll need to unlock your bootloader by signing up at htcdev.com. Then you can install a custom recovery and custom rom. All without needing s=off. The disadvantage to this method is that you're running a rom that some phone dork has cooked up at home AND when you're ready to go back to stock your bootloader will show Relocked, tipping off warranty people that your phone has been previously unlocked and thus voiding your warranty. Going s=off prevents the phone from saying relocked when you relock it. So it's not that simple but it can be done. I have s=off on my t mobile US One and I changed the model and carrier IDs to match the unbranded European model so I got HTC updates without having to wait for t mobile to push them, if they ever even do.

If you keep app data on your SD card it'll be unencrypted, naturally. I have no idea how the performance impact is. My phone runs fine to me. I imagine disk i/o is slower but that won't affect scrolling/games at all really.

What's the proper way to backup & restore the phone with Titanium when clean flashing? I've always used nandroid and just restored data-only after each flash, but I heard this is pretty much the same as dirty flashing. I checked Titanium but was confused what to backup and what to select when restoring.

My mom's phone has crashed for the nth time, deleting all of her contacts. Thankfully, I'd backed them up over the summer in case of such poo poo happening, but I'm wondering if it would be better overall to just root the phone. It is the original Samsung Stratosphere, and I believe it's running Gingerbread, but I might be wrong. What is a good course of action if I can only work with the phone for this one moment?

I've always used nandroid and just restored data-only after each flash, but I heard this is pretty much the same as dirty flashing. The proper way to use Titanium is to have local backups available of all the apps, then after flashing a new ROM you allow the apps to redownload from the Play Store, then you restore those apps' data with Titanium. Apps that you have backups for but aren't installed (they'll be crossed off and at the bottom) you can then restore apps+data for. As long as you do it this way it's in no way similar to a dirty flash. Restoring system data in Titanium is what would be equivalent. Apps in white are user apps and those are what you'd restore. Things in green are system apps and should not be restored or have their data restored. Things in yellow are XML tables that allow you to restore your call log and your SMS message threads. They can be restored usually but could also break things across ROMs though I've never had any break an install with the exception of the WiFi Access Points (those should come across with your Google Account anyway). As for the Schedules, I have one: a backup of all user apps and system data. I run it two days a week and keep a maximum of two backups per app so if an app updates and I want to revert I have a week to notice. Alternatively you can use an automatic upload of your backups to the cloud but I've never had that succeed and eventually I just stopped trying. If you have a device which stores the backups on an SD card it's not really necessary anyway.
