(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); hey fellas, im new to this stuff of the android thing i was symbian yea an oldy but was very happy with my phone.

now i got this xperia S with android 2.3 something, and i know there are the 4 version because in the box said android 4 updatable.

BUT here is my problem i bought this phone from TELCEL mexican provider. and they dont allow the updates maybe you know all this shit and im just wasting my time writing this, :lol:

so yea i need to remove that and all the shit TELCEL PUT in this phone.

i was reading something about root?? and bootloader??

can someone give me a quick description on WTF is that. ?? and what i loose doing this ive read something about DRP? keys or something like that....

what are those and what i loose .... ?_?

on your phone you will need to go into settings and change it so it allows 3rd party apps (search google) then still on your phone go to the browser and load You must login or register to view this content. and click download to computer once done it will ask you to install select yes and there's your free apps

(there's no real jailbreak for android software as it doesn't need it, although you can root it to change things like clocking the processor n shit like that lol)

Rooting is a way of hacking the Android OS to allow rw access to the /system dirctory, it will void your warrenty, only mess around in the /system directory if you know exactly what files are needed/important, you can install a recovery menu, a recovery menu will alow you to install custom OS updates and tweaks for your phone, if you dont like having a rooted phone you can always unroot at any time, this will also give you back the remainder of your warrenty, hope this has helped

maybe you didnt see my last post... i have rooted my phone now..

and yes i will call it jailbreak because if you didnt read my phone was with telcel, wich mean i cant update my device unless telcel let me....... SO with the jailbreak thing now my phone is free and now i dont have all shitty apps of telcel so useless apps.... , know what i mean, is not jailbreak for android OS, is for my provider. the root thing is a plus =D

BTW i wasnt talking how to use 3rd party apps, i know how to install and use that

yea, i been reading a lot this week and now i know what is that,

now i have my Xperia S with Android 4.0.4 rooted and bootloader locked. i think cant be better than that =D

With locked boot loader i think it's only temp root which means you loose it if your phone turns off i may be wrong but it was like that for the HTC sense XL which i had to unlock bootloader then root but it was fairly easy also i guess you flashed a custom rom unless that's a official update of ICS ice cream sandwich 4.0.4

no, i can turn off and on without loosing the root...
