Root No Root Yet???

Has anyone figured out how to root this thing yet? I am dying to erase all the Metro crapware it has to free some space and overclock the CPU.

Anyone yet?

Nope

Is anyone working on it by any chance?

Still a mystery - but am sure someone may already be (or will be soon) working on a way. If they do, I just may get the Samsung Admire. I love my Optimus M, great phone, but just for bigger screen may get the Admire, haven't decided yet tho.

Guys,

I just moved two other root-related threads to the all-things-root sub-forum, but I think its wise that I don't move anymore until root is actually achieved for your phone (I don't want to dampem any efforts or enthusiasm for getting your phone rooted), but we don't want to go crazy with creating lots of different root threads that more properly belong in the all-things-root sub-forum.

Cheers and good luck!

I am currently working with StoneBoy Tony from XDA to root the phone. We are testing the Universal_GB_ROOT_V2 method. We r stock at recovery trying to apply the zip. It gives us a verification error.

Please be patient as we are working on this to get it to all the Admire users.

Wooohooo! That is Awesome. You just made alot of people very very happy

Edited to add: Don't want to get too excited yet - until official announcement that it can be rooted. Then we'll celebration again when a ROM is developed

Well that method did not work. We'll keep on working on it.

Thanks for your work. I'll move to this phone eventually as when root and CM7 are working for this

Just to send you guys information about admire rooting it has been done. You need linux operation system. Windows i think still in development.

[Root] One Click Root for Samsung Admire (SCH-R720) :: Windows/Mac/Linux :: 9/12/2011 *


As new to android phone Admire, can someone explain WHY I would want to do this to the phone - root it - and what will NO LONGER operate on the phone? In other words, what do I give up for rooting?

Then, once rooted, will some apps already on phone (that did not require a root) no longer work?

Dummy here, so please help.

Okay, I see the good news above and I have moved this thread to the all-things-root sub-forum.

I'll work on creating a Samsung Admire Root Guide stickied thread for you guys this evening.

Cheers and congrats! (and kudos to djrbliss again...that guy is crazy smart, eh? )
