    Root [Virgin Mobile] Help!

    I think my phone just died. Galaxy S3, rooted, with the basic mk5 rom. At first it would refuse to see anything on the sd card, but rebooting helped (for a little while, anyway). Then the battery drained itself in four hours with very little use. So I changed to a new battery. It...

    Root Downgrade 7.4.6

    Okay, I rooted via bin4ary, and I want to install a second bootloader and Twrp. The instructions say there are problems with later versions and to downgrade with Kindle Fire First Aid. Do I need to unroot to do that? KFFA is a root tool, isn't it?

    Could someone help explain how this works, please?

    TV Guide Mobile--Argh!

    It is actually a good app, and I used it...until I found an old program I liked and decided to hit the "Favorites" button. And the app decided to be helpful and alert me every time the show came on. :rolleyes: It not only pops onto the notification bar--it also has a little sonar-y sound...

    Root Superoneclick Question

    (I have checked the other threads about this, but they are older and not the same version I have. Things seem to change very quickly 'round here.) Does Superoneclick (1.6.5) work with the Optimus V? Clicking on Root (not Shell Root)? I get conflicting answers when I read various threads...
