[Q]Rooting and other considerations.

[DMCrimson78]

Well, hello. I just got my 9300, and wush to root it. I know there are several ways to do this - CF, CF-auto and so on. What should I use, if I most likely will flash CM afterwards? As far as I understand, CWM recovery is suggested... Is there any rooting method / recovery -comparison thread?

Also, I've the 16 gig model, but I see both /root and internal sd as 11 gig. Is there any explanation on that? I mean, where did the space go? This is so different from Galaxy Ace

I still use the old cf root, just because it always works, then I just flash an updated recovery after, personally I use phils can touch, but there are others out there, I'm just old fashioned!

Agh, just as I expected. 3 replies, one about rules, one about search (did you not think I haven't done that?) And one that was useful. .. But no real answer to my questions. CF-Root it is then.

.......and the missing space is data partition I do believe.
You won't find comparison threads as generally they aren't allowed due to the in fighting they cause. Instead go to development/original development and you will find all relevant information in the original post of each thread

slaphead20: You hit the mark. I think there was something about partitions somewhere - need to check it again. About comparisons, I understand that, thus I'll check them out too. Now, it seems my path is either CF-Root or Toolkit, as CF-Auto returns to factory recovery after rooting.

Mods: please lock/remove if approriate.

If you use cf root update your recovery afterwards (I'm not sure if Chainfire has updated the included recovery for the sds fix) I just flash a recovery image with mobile Odin or cwm

Ps........q go in q&a
